Prince Consort

Xie Zean met Zhang Dade early the next morning.

Zhang Dade looked solemn, and told Xie Zean about Princess Yan Ning's desire to see him.

Xie Ze'an said: "Judging from your tone of voice, Her Royal Highness seems to be more terrifying than the Crown Prince."

Zhang Dade knew Xie Ze'an very well, and said in a low voice: "If people in the royal family want to rank first, His Highness can be ranked third."

Xie Ze'an said: "The front is His Majesty today, who is the other?"

Zhang Dade was surprised: "Why don't you guess it's the prince?"

Xie Ze'an said, "...ha ha."

The feelings revealed by these two words spanned time and space, and conveyed Xie Zean's meaning to Zhang Dade's heart in an instant.Zhang Dade lowered his voice: "The second one is Prince Gong."

Prince Gong.

This character Xie Ze'an was not the first time he had heard of it.

During this period of time, there were three titles that Xie Ze'an heard the most, His Majesty, Prince Gong, and Prince Gong.

When it comes to Prince Gong, there are various theories in the market, but in the end it will end with everyone keeping silent, which shows that the prestige of Prince Gong is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

Zhang Dade actually said that Princess Yan Ning was only ranked after Prince Gong, Xie Ze'an couldn't help being a little curious.

He said to Zhang Dade: "Is it suitable for me to meet the princess?"

Zhang Dade said: "Your Majesty and Your Highness will never stop what your Highness wants to do."

Xie Ze'an said: "Then I will follow you into the palace."

Zhang Dade said: "Your Highness is very interested in your blueprints. I think the brush you use, Sanlang, seems to be different from the brush. Would you like to bring it?"

Xie Ze'an said, "Alright."

The pen Xie Zean used was a pencil. Of course there was no such thing in this era, but it was not difficult to make a pencil. He asked Zhang Dayi to find someone to help him make it.

The raw material used in pencils is not lead, but graphite.After finding the raw material of graphite, Xie Ze'an asked someone to get some resin, sulfur and the like to add it in. He didn't know the specific formula, so he asked "professionals" to experiment for a few days, and finally made a graphite with suitable hardness and difficulty. A broken pencil lead.It's even easier later, just put a "clothes" on the pencil lead.

Hearing that Princess Yan Ning noticed the difference in the drawings, Xie Zean thought about it, and asked Xie Xiaomei to go to the room to take out her set of pencils.

Sometimes a pencil is more convenient to use than a brush, so it would be nice to present it to Princess Yanning.

Xie Ze'an made up his mind and followed Zhang Dade into the palace.

Although it was his first time to the palace, Xie Ze'an was not someone who had never seen the world, and he obediently followed Zhang Dade along the way.

Zhang Dade was very surprised, and whispered: "Sanlang, I was shocked when I entered the palace for the first time, why do you seem to be so normal?"

Xie Ze'an said, "Isn't it just bigger?"

As a modern person who has been to the Forbidden City, visited the Great Wall, and touched an aircraft carrier, there is nothing Xie Zean can marvel at about this imperial palace except for its large scale.

Zhang Dade opened his mouth wide, and was about to speak again, when he suddenly heard a hearty and resonant laugh: "It's a good one, 'isn't it just bigger', whose family are you from?"

Zhang Dade was taken aback.

Xie Ze'an looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a jade face standing not far away, about three or forty years old, with strong facial features, a neat beard, a gold crown on his head, and a gold and jade belt around his waist. Just know it's not something in the pool.

Xie Ze'an said: "Caomin thank... Sanlang, I've seen—" He dragged the end of his voice and looked at Zhang Dade.

Only then did Zhang Dade come back to his senses, and he knelt down in fear: "Xiao Dezi pays tribute to the prince!"

Xie Ze'an didn't want to kneel, and stood upright to salute: "I have seen the prince."

The middle-aged man didn't think it was disobedient, and looked at Zhang Dade who was lying on the ground: "Are you the little Dezi next to the emperor's nephew? Are you leading someone to see the emperor's nephew?"

Zhang Dade said: "No, the younger one is to lead Saburo to see Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The middle-aged man gave a meaningful "oh", waved his hands and said, "Then go, don't make Yan Ning wait too long."

After speaking, the middle-aged man turned around and got on the soft sedan chair, tapped on the edge of the sedan chair to signal the bearer to get up, and disappeared from the sight of Xie Zean and the two of them.

This time Zhang Dade saw clearly that there was no one around before he dared to speak: "The master just now is Prince Gong."

Xie Zean frowned.

He didn't feel anything just now, but when Zhang Dade said this, he inexplicably felt a chill in his heart.

Truly a terrible person.

Xie Ze'an quickly regained his composure.

What does being scary or not have anything to do with him?It's true that he wanted to fish in troubled waters to get some benefits, but he wasn't arrogant enough to think that he would be a match for such a character!

The level is different, how can people take him seriously?He needn't have worried at all.

Xie Ze'an said: "Don't say anything, people will hear you if you say anything casually, you should just lead me there."

Zhang Dade nodded.

Princess Yan Ning's residence arrived in a short while.

Xie Zean followed behind Zhang Dade without looking sideways.

Zhang Dade knelt down to pay his respects, but Xie Ze'an still stood upright, cupping his hands and saying hello: "I have seen the princess."

In fact, he couldn't see the princess at all, because there was a curtain between them, and he couldn't even see a hair of Princess Yanning.

Xie Ze'an was not too curious about Princess Yan Ning's appearance, so he stood there and waited for the other party to speak.

He has no curiosity, but Princess Yan Ning wants to see his appearance.

She raised her hand to signal the maid to lift up the curtains one by one.

It was not until there was only one bead curtain left that Princess Yan Ning told people to stop.

Xie Zean met Princess Yanning.

Although he knew that Princess Yan Ning must be younger than Zhao Chongzhao, Xie Ze'an was still a little surprised when he saw the little girl half lying on the bed.

It's just too small.

What is a modern little girl doing when she is her age?

And how does Zhang Dade evaluate Princess Yan Ning?She can rank third in the royal family.

Xie Ze'an never dared to underestimate the people of this era from the very beginning.

He calmly confessed: "Offended."

Princess Yan Ning was also looking at Xie Ze'an.

She already knew that Xie Zean was about the same age as her elder brother, but the Xie Zean in front of her looked like he was one or two years younger than her elder brother.To have so much thought at such a young age is by no means an ordinary person.

The two half-sized dolls judged each other calmly.

Finally, Princess Yan Ning finally spoke: "I heard from brother that you came to Beijing with your mother and younger sister?"

Xie Zean nodded.

Princess Yan Ning asked: "Why are only the three of you entering the capital, and all the men in your family are gone?"

Xie Ze'an said, "I don't know."

Princess Yanning looked at him deeply through the bead curtain.

After a pause, she asked again: "Are you here to visit relatives in the capital?"

Xie Ze'an understood that Princess Yan Ning wanted to directly interrogate him for his details.He continued to reply: "I don't know."

Princess Yan Ning choked on him, and frowned angrily.

She sneered and said, "People like Xiaoguan Xie don't know why they came to Beijing?"

Xie Ze'an said amusedly, "Your Highness knows me well?"

Princess Yanning remained silent.

Xie Ze'an said, "I really don't know."

Princess Yan Ning coughed and raised her head to look at him.

Xie Ze'an said: "If someone abandons his wife, is he still a male in our family?"

Princess Yanning was taken aback.

Xie Ze'an said: "If this is the case, are we still close relatives in the capital?"

Princess Yanning's face paled slightly.

She said: "In this case, you really don't know. How to confirm these two things, do you have an idea in mind?"

Xie Ze'an said: "Honestly, no." He said bluntly, "I am not willing to recognize such a 'father'. It is my mother's wish to enter Beijing, and I just act according to her wishes."

Princess Yan Ning did not speak.

Xie Ze'an's words can be said to be treasonous, but Princess Yan Ning was born in the royal family, and she has seen too many things where father is not father and son is not son.

That's not loyalty and filial piety, it's stupidity.

Princess Yanning said: "I heard that you love your little sister very much?"

Xie Ze'an said, "Yes."

Princess Yan Ning said: "Let her enter the palace to accompany me for a while."

Xie Ze'an frowned slightly, and said calmly: "I will not have any contact with His Highness the Crown Prince, please rest assured, Your Highness the Princess." After speaking, he turned around and walked out.

I thought she was a poor girl who was bedridden, but I didn't expect that she was indeed worthy of being an "Emperor", and she wanted to hold him in her hands.

Xie Ze'an certainly wanted to climb up to Zhao Chongzhao's backer, but why did he want to find a backer?

In order to protect Li Shi and Xie Xiaomei.

Want him to send Xie Xiaomei to this man-eating palace as a hostage?Don't even think about it.

Princess Yan Ning didn't expect Xie Ze'an to leave without hesitation, she was stunned for a while before ordering: "Stop him!"

In a panic, she leaned on the edge of the bed and coughed violently.

When Xie Ze'an heard the piercing cough, he paused a little bit unbearably, and turned to look at Princess Yan Ning from afar.

Princess Yan Ning said: "I can help you find the man who abandoned his wife and son. It's up to you whether you want to recognize him or not."

Xie Zean stood there quietly.

Princess Yan Ning did not expect that Xie Ze'an, who had so many wonderful ideas, would be such an obnoxious person, but just a word of probing would turn him into such a recalcitrant appearance.

She was a little annoyed, but she knew it was her fault.

Princess Yan Ning calmed down and said to Xie Ze'an, "It's my fault."

Xie Ze'an raised his eyes in surprise, and met Princess Yan Ning's clear eyes.

Princess Yan Ning said: "I just want to test whether you really love your sister that much."

Xie Ze'an returned to his expressionless state: "What about after the test?"

Princess Yan Ning saw that he was obviously still angry at the proposal just now, she gritted her teeth, and said frankly: "Knowing your weakness, of course I feel more at ease with you, so I dare to let you stay with my elder brother." She was moved by Xie Ze'an, "It's a different place, if someone wants to get close to your sister, would you let them get in touch without knowing the details and depth?"

Xie Ze settled down and said, "I understand."

Princess Yan Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

She rarely sees outsiders, and if she ends up embarrassingly, she will begin to doubt herself.

Xie Ze'an said: "Having such an elder brother, Your Highness has really worked hard."

Even what kind of friend you call has to be checked, which shows that Zhao Chongzhao is not reassuring.

Princess Yanning: "..."

She argued for Zhao Chongzhao: "It's not that my brother can't think, but he doesn't like to think about it. If he is willing to work hard, he will definitely do well."

Xie Ze'an reminded lightly: "It's a pity that someone helped him put all the effort into it."

Princess Yan Ning was really astonished for a long time this time.

It wasn't until she quietly called "Your Highness" from the left and right that she suddenly came back to her senses.

Princess Yan Ning's eyelashes trembled slightly, and it took a while to calm down: "You are right."

She raised her eyes and looked at Xie Ze'an: "Whenever you want to find your 'father', you can come to me, and my promise is still valid."

Xie Ze'an said: "Thank you, Your Highness, but I still have something to clarify." He smiled at Princess Yanning, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I am not the kind of polite person, and I will definitely speak up when I need it."

Princess Yanning was startled.

She never knew that someone could smile so beautifully.

It seems like the flowers in spring are fully blooming in an instant.
