Prince Consort

Xie Ze'an did not notice any anomalies between Zhao Chongzhao and Princess Yanning.

Xie Zhe'an is able to rationally weigh the importance of each relationship, because he rarely gets involved in it.In some ways, he is a very cold person.It is precisely because he has neither believed nor possessed that he feels that those who believe in this kind of friendship and have this kind of friendship are precious.

Having a mother, a younger sister, Da Lang and Xie's family in this life, although Xie Ze'an is not a newborn child, he has gradually let go of his guard against them.He has always seen the deep brother-sister relationship between Zhao Chongzhao and Princess Yanning, so he has never had the slightest suspicion of Zhao Chongzhao.

In the few years when we first met, Zhao Chongzhao liked to kiss and hug him. It was because Zhao Chongzhao misunderstood that this was the so-called "Fanbang etiquette" and he was very happy.But when he became an adult, Zhao Chongzhao gradually alienated him. Zhao Chongzhao was just at a young age, and if he really liked someone, he might want to get close to him all the time.What's more, Zhao Chongzhao still has such a fiery temper, which doesn't look like he can bear it—does that alienation mean that Zhao Chongzhao already treats him as a "brother-in-law"?

Xie Ze'an led Zhao Chongzhao and the two into the room to change clothes.

It happened that when the season changed, Princess Yan Ning helped Zhao Chongzhao prepare two sets of clothes. Before they could send them to the East Palace, Princess Yan Ning brought them over, one set for Zhao Chongzhao and one set for Zhao Ang.Zhao Ang was taller than his peers, but still not as good as Zhao Chongzhao, wearing it looked like a child wearing adult clothes, very funny.

Xie Ze'an laughed hard after seeing it, and asked someone to bring his old clothes to Zhao Ang.

When Zhao Chongzhao heard this, he was displeased, and interrupted: "Just wear it for a while, so why bother? Is his clothes more important or flood protection?"

Xie Ze'an couldn't help but look at Zhao Chongzhao with admiration for being able to say such highly enlightened words.He patted Zhao Ang on the shoulder: "Then bear with it."

Zhao Ang said: "It's okay, as long as the younger sister doesn't come over—"

Before the words fell, Xie Xiaomei's voice came from outside: "Brother, are you all right? I heard that Zhao Ang is going to wear Brother Chongzhao's clothes. Let me take a look!" Onlookers watched Zhao Ang's funny appearance.

Zhao Ang really wanted to squat in the corner to load mushrooms.

Xie Ze'an didn't let Zhao Ang get what he wanted, he opened the door and pulled Zhao Ang out.

Xie Xiaomei couldn't help laughing.

Although Zhao Chongzhao is not considered fat anymore, his skeleton is half a head taller than Zhao Ang's, and his clothes are a whole round bigger. Against Zhao Ang, he looks like a cabbage that has been beaten by frost. .

After watching Zhao Ang, Xie Xiaomei said with a smile, "I'll go see if the ginger tea is ready" and ran away.

As soon as Xie Xiaomei left, Zhao Ang regained his spirits: "If you can make Xiaomei laugh, it doesn't matter if you wear it a few more times!"

Xie Ze'an: "..."

Looking at this little devil who covets his sister, I feel very complicated...

The three walked along the corridor to the study and sat around the table.The rain outside the window was urgent, and it hit the roof with a crackling sound, which became more urgent.

Zhao Chongzhao said: "The face of a child in summer can change as soon as it is said. The weather was quite good a few days ago."

Xie Ze'an took out the map silently, and marked the results of his whole day's thinking on the map.

Zhao Chongzhao stopped gossiping and watched Xie Zean write his pen seriously.

Xie Zean was very sensitive to terrain since he was a child. He can perfectly restore the terrain in places he has been to, and he can make the closest guess to the facts in places he has not been to.

After marking everything he had learned, Xie Ze'an said: "Actually, there is no way. If you want to reduce losses, you have to do what your Highness and Angie did today - first send people to patrol the embankment to see where there are places Emergency repairs are needed, and those with gaps should be plugged first, and then overhauled after the water level drops. Organize them to prepare for evacuation in places within the cordon, and harvest the crops first if they can be harvested. There is no way to do it. The most important thing is There are also many places in the city that are quite dangerous, I have checked, and the capital city was flooded in the year your Highness was born."

Zhao Chongzhao: "..."

Zhao Chongzhao was also unlucky. A few days after he was born, the capital was flooded.The imperial court was preparing to celebrate the birth of the prince, but was forced to keep a low-key and low-key by the disaster that fell from the sky.Many people secretly muttered in their hearts: "This prince can't be a disaster star?"

Many people did not dare to speak out, and could only encourage Zhao Ying: "One more! Another one!"

Later, the frail Empress Xian became pregnant again, and the court was overjoyed. As a result, the Empress Xian was in poor health, and she gave birth prematurely and left Princess Yan Ning.

After that, Zhao Ying threw away all the courtiers' memorials of "marry another one" and "marry again and regenerate", and no one dared to mention it over time.

A few years ago, Zhao Chongzhao's position as the crown prince was not stable, and some people in the government and the public talked about the flood when he was born, which made Zhao Chongzhao jump his feet in anger.If others dared to mention this in front of Zhao Chongzhao, Zhao Chongzhao would have to make the other party feel overwhelmed, but the person who spoke was Xie Ze'an. Zhao Chongzhao could only say: "The city also has to be inspected?"

Xie Zean nodded.

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Then let's go to Mr. Xu to discuss it."

Xie Ze'an said, "Alright."

At this time, Princess Yan Ning, who had been quietly staying aside, said: "What's the matter? Sanlang, you haven't eaten yet." She glanced at Zhao Chongzhao, "Don't you know that Sanlang ran for a day today? There was no rest in the middle, so come back After that, I have to go to Mr. Xu and Mr. Yao’s place, and I don’t even have time to eat. Can’t you go to Mr. Xu’s place with Ang Di? You can’t let Sanlang do everything.”

Zhao Chongzhao was stunned, and looked at Xie Ze'an.

Although Xie Ze'an was surprised by the sharpness of Princess Yan Ning's words, she also understood that she was caring for him.He said softly, "Ning'er, Your Highness and the others have been running all day."

Princess Yan Ning paused and said: "Let's eat together first, there should be food in the kitchen, I'll ask someone to bring it up." After speaking, she got up and left.

Xie Ze'an and Zhao Ang looked at each other.

In Zhao Chongzhao's heart, there are all kinds of feelings that are hard to describe.

Zhao Chongzhao reflected: "I really shouldn't have to ask Saburo to do everything."

Xie Ze'an said: "Mr. has asked me to follow up on this matter, and it's okay to run again. It's raining like this. Maybe something will happen. It's a good thing His Highness is willing to take precautions."

The three of them were cheerful people, and they were very enthusiastic about eating, and quickly swept away the food.

Princess Yanning sent someone to find a cloak and a big umbrella, and sent them out.

Watching the three of Xie Ze'an go further and further away, Princess Yan Ning couldn't recover for a long time.

Xie Xiaomei quietly walked behind Princess Yan Ning, and covered Princess Yan Ning's eyes with her hands: "Guess who I am!"

Princess Yanning smiled: "It should be some troublemaker."

Xie Xiaomei was not convinced: "I'm not a troublemaker!" She let go of her hand and took Princess Yan Ning's hand instead, "Sister-in-law, don't be sad, brother is just slow, he runs out every day, and doesn't care about it at all. people."

Princess Yan Ning sneered: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xie Xiaomei said: "I'm not talking nonsense, sister-in-law, you even let go of the affairs of the eldest princess and aunt, it's all for the sake of brother! But brother has too many things to do, so that's why he stays away from home all day long. "She raised her eyebrows, "I'll help my sister-in-law teach him a lesson when he finishes his work!"

Princess Yan Ning said: "Little sister, don't mess around, men have ambitions in all directions..." She spoke and her eyes lightened slightly.

That's right, the man's ambition is everywhere.

Zhao Ying brought Yao Dingyan back to reform the imperial examination system. After that, he would have to stay in other places for a period of time after the provincial and state examinations.If Xie Ze'an can also participate, wouldn't it be a good time to separate them for a while?

If the two places are separated, Zhao Chongzhao should gradually dispel that ridiculous idea.

Princess Yan Ning was refreshed.

She said to Xie Xiaomei: "Little sister, tell A Niang that I will go to the palace."

Xie Xiaomei was taken aback, and asked: "It's so late, what are you doing in the palace?"

Princess Yan Ning joked: "Go into the palace to find out for you and Ang Di."

Xie Xiaomei blushed, stomped her feet, turned and ran away.While running, she said, "I won't help you to talk to Auntie!" After running away for a long time, she turned around and added boldly, "If you want to marry me, you can say it yourself. Calculate!"

Princess Yan Ning couldn't help laughing.

Xie Ze'an dotes on this younger sister so much that she is more magnanimous than other daughters when facing the relationship between men and women. If she likes her, she dares to say it openly...

Princess Yan Ning looked at the sky full of rain, and felt boundless sourness in her heart.

She entered the palace in a soft sedan chair.

Zhao Ying was a little surprised when someone reported that Princess Yan Ning had entered the palace.

A few days ago, Princess Yan Ning suddenly fell ill when they were traveling together. He was worried all the time and greeted her personally.Seeing that Princess Yan Ning didn't have any rain stars on her body, Zhao Yingcai said, "Ning'er, why did you enter the palace so late? It's still like this weather."

Princess Yan Ning said: "Just now my brother came to discuss with Sanlang about flood control, and they went to Mr. Xu's house together. There is nothing left and right, I want to come and see daddy." She smiled, "Daddy, you don't think I'm annoying Bar?"

Zhao Ying said: "Ning'er, you can come whenever you want." He pulled Princess Yan Ning to sit down and asked, "Why did your brother think of flood prevention?"

Princess Yan Ning said: "Ang Di stayed in the capital recently, and the capital went out with his elder brother. Today they went to patrol the embankment and found that the water level had risen a lot and there was still a gap in the embankment. They had been busy all day, and they came to look for it when they came back. Sanlang is gone. Sanlang happened to be sent out by Mr. Xu today, and a lot of hidden dangers were found. The two sides got together and made a total calculation, and they all felt that this matter should be treated with caution."

Zhao Ying said: "Your elder brother knows how to improve this time." He also boasted, "Brother Yu Wang taught a good son."

Princess Yan Ning said: "Sanlang is very lazy. After he reported the situation to Mr. Xu, he was ready to let go."

Zhao Ying said: "This kid really has such a temper, but he can't control it, after all, he has no serious background—" Zhao Ying suddenly stopped at this sentence.After being silent for a while, he couldn't help but laugh, "Ning'er, you made such a detour because you want to give Saburo a decent background with me, right?"
