Prince Consort

The conversation between Xie Ze'an and General Changsun hadn't ended yet, and someone came to report: "His Royal Highness has arrived!"

General Changsun stood up in surprise: "His Royal Highness?"

The person who reported it had a strange expression: "His Royal Highness said he came to find 'Sanlang'."

There is no Saburo in the Changsun Mansion.

General Changsun's face also became strange, and he looked at Xie Ze'an.

Xie Ze'an: "..."

Isn't today Princess Yan Ning's birthday?Why did Zhao Chongzhao come to find him?

General Changsun and Xie Zean went to the front hall together.

Zhao Chongzhao was already waiting there. When he saw General Changsun, he was very courteous: "General Changsun, how are you doing recently?"

General Changsun said: "You can't be called 'General' by Your Highness."

Not long ago, Zhao Chongzhao learned about Zhao Yingping’s chaos from Xu Juncheng. The person he admired the most besides Zhao Ying was General Changsun, because he was the bravest of all generals and also killed the most enemies.He said respectfully: "General Changsun, you will always be our general in Daqing!"

Hearing Zhao Chongzhao's honest words, General Changsun's eyes were wet.

Others said that the prince's behavior was absurd, far inferior to Zhao Ying, but with Zhao Chongzhao's words, he felt that his current status was worth fighting for with a knife and a gun.At least the future monarch did not look down on these warriors like others. When he ascended the throne in the future, he might be able to change the atmosphere of emphasizing civility over military affairs.

General Changsun's spirit froze slightly.

He can't be depressed too early, although his sons have died in battle, but he still has a few grandsons, and the eldest grandson's family can still survive.

General Changsun straightened his waist: "Your Highness is here to look for Xie Jiasanlang?"

Xie Ze'an had been observing General Changsun, and seeing General Changsun's expression suddenly changed, he had to sigh that Zhao Chongzhao was very lucky.Experienced the pain of bereavement again, and there are not many confidantes in the court, General Changsun really can't support it.At this time, one sentence can crush him, but it is also possible that one sentence can sweep him away - what Zhao Chongzhao did was the latter.Zhao Chongzhao is naturally good at martial arts, but he can't win people's hearts. Most of his actions are casual, and he often argues with others.

For people like General Changsun, "sincerity" happens to be the thing that moves them the most.For him, Zhao Chongzhao's sincere respect was like rain after a long drought. As long as Zhao Chongzhao would not cause too outrageous troubles in the future, the eldest grandson's family would probably stand by Zhao Chongzhao's side.

Xie Ze'an subconsciously figured out how to help the eldest grandson's family out of the predicament and make the eldest grandson's family Zhao Chongzhao's wings, and was a little lost in thought for a while.

When he heard General Changsun mention "Xie Jiasanlang", Xie Ze'an suddenly came back to his senses.

He smiled wryly in his heart.

Compared with them, he is really not a good person. He is used to evaluating the benefits that everything can bring.

Xie Ze'an shouted: "Your Highness."

Zhao Chongzhao held Xie Ze'an's hand excitedly: "Sanlang, Father said that today you can enter the palace with me to celebrate Ning'er's birthday! Let's go and set off fireworks for Ning'er."

Xie Ze'an was slightly surprised, the foreigner had been granted special permission to go in and out of the palace, and he was asked to meet the princess at this time, what was Zhao Ying thinking?

After thinking about it, Princess Yan Ning's body is so weak, it's like one day is missing. If he is Zhao Ying, he naturally hopes that Princess Yan Ning will live happily every day.Princess Yan Ning's personality is obviously not good enough to play with her peers, and it's not easy to play with older ones. She has very few playmates on weekdays. He taught Princess Yan Ning how to paint, and Zhao Ying called him to teach Princess Yan Ning A birthday is also justified.

Xie Ze'an immediately agreed: "Okay."

Xie Ze'an and Zhao Chongzhao bid farewell to General Changsun together.

After they left, Brother Changsun and "Er Lang" came out. "Erlang" said: "Is he entering the palace at this time?"

General Changsun said: "Er Niang, this kid is amazing, even His Majesty remembers him. If you really want to learn something from him, learn it seriously. The sons and daughters of our Changsun family don't pay much attention to it. It's easy for any woman without talent to learn from him." Virtue? Hmph, talent is also virtue.” He reached out and rubbed Erniang’s head, “Your grandmother is a very powerful woman…”

The reason why Er Niang changed her makeup and clothes was precisely because of the "grandmother" that General Changsun often mentioned and the turbulent period when many strange women were born.Women can stand out in troubled times, but now is the time of peace, are they not as good as those poor girls back then?

Hearing General Changsun talk about his deceased grandmother again, Erniang said firmly: "I will be stronger than my grandmother. If anyone wants to step on our family, I will make them look good!"

General Changsun looked at the three grandchildren with relief, and said, "I am happy to see you grow up safely."

On the other side, Xie Ze'an and Zhao Chongzhao rode into the palace together.

Zhao Chongzhao asked Xie Zean what he was doing in the Changsun Mansion.

Xie Ze'an did not mention the embarrassment of the Changsun Mansion, but said that he was visiting the Changsun Mansion on behalf of the Xie Mansion.

Thinking of the death of Changsun Yi, Zhao Chongzhao also felt a little uncomfortable.He was very angry: "The Xixia dog thief, dare to attack the eldest grandson commander!"

Xie Ze'an accompanied Zhao Chongzhao to scold the Xixia people, and soon saw the palace gate.

After seeing the palace where Princess Yanning lived, Zhao Chongzhao calmed down, dismounted and grabbed Xie Zean's hand and walked inside.

With a smile on his face, he sent the people who had been waiting on the side to set up a "firework array" in the open space, and led Xie Zean in by himself.

Zhao Chongzhao happily pulled Xie Ze'an in front of Princess Yan Ning: "Ning'er, who do you think I brought here?"

Princess Yan Ning was startled, and looked up at Xie Ze'an.

Seeing Princess Yan Ning's pale blush on her face, and her lips looking a little better than usual, Xie Ze'an smiled and said, "Your Highness is so beautiful today!"

Princess Yan Ning's heart was slightly hot, but a generous smile appeared on her face: "Thank you Sanlang for coming."

Xie Ze'an liked Princess Yan Ning's calmness, he said with a smile: "It should be, we are also friends, right?"

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Of course!" He pushed Princess Yan Ning out, "Ning'er, San Lang and I have prepared some good things for you to see!"

Princess Yan Ning couldn't help but look at Xie Ze'an.

Xie Ze'an smiled at her, and said to Zhao Chongzhao, "I'll go light the fire."

Zhao Chongzhao originally wanted to snatch the job, but when he saw Zhang Dade posing to stop him by hugging his thigh, he could only nod and say, "That's fine!"

Xie Ze'an walked to the "Fireworks Array" and lit the fuse with a torch.

Princess Yan Ning had seen firecrackers before, and thought they were the same thing, so she kept staring at Xie Ze'an.

Zhao Chongzhao reminded: "Ning'er, you have to look at the sky!"

Princess Yan Ning raised her head, only to hear the continuous sound of "Bang! Bang! Bang!", several points of light pierced the night sky, and exploded suddenly in the high sky, bursting out countless sparks.What's even more surprising is that the exploded fireworks turned into an extremely gorgeous flower, as if a plum blossom bloomed above the sky, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

Xie Ze'an took a few steps forward and lit another fuse: "Come again."

Not only Princess Yan Ning was stunned, but there were many sleepless people in the capital this night.Xie Ze'an and Zhao Chongzhao were far away in the southern suburbs during the experiment, and there were high mountains blocking them. Not many people had seen this kind of fireworks. After hearing the movement, the palace servants and servants in the palace stood up and raised their heads. There was also commotion outside the imperial city. , Even the fun-seeking in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion stopped, and they all stuck their heads out to watch the blossoming fireworks in the sky.

Zhao Ying was reviewing the memorial. After hearing the movement, she put on her robe and went to the window to look out.

He knew at a glance that it was the movement from Princess Yan Ning's palace.

Seeing the "plum blossom" blooming in the sky, Zhao Ying immediately thought of "Xie Sanlang".

No wonder his daughter secretly fell in love with her. Which daughter's family can resist such a guy?There are so many ideas, he can always do things unexpectedly, and he can often do what others can't - look, now he can even send out flowers that bloom in the sky, can his daughter not be tempted?

Xie Ze'an didn't know that Zhao Ying had charged him with "kidnapping the princess". After lighting the last wire, he washed his hands in the hot water handed over by the palace man, ran back and said carelessly, "Your Highness, do you like it?"

Princess Yan Ning was stunned for a long time, then smiled: "I like it."

Xie Ze'an said: "It's good if you like it! I haven't eaten yet, is there anything to eat? Let's eat something together."

Princess Yan Ning immediately asked someone to Zhang Luo.

Seeing Princess Yan Ning smiling happily, Zhao Chongzhao felt dizzy. He enthusiastically pulled Xie Zean to sit down, and the three of them ate and drank happily.

After all, it is in the palace, so it is not good to drink too strong wine, Zhao Chongzhao and Xie Ze'an accompanied Princess Yan Ning to sip the warm green plum wine.After all, Princess Yan Ning belonged to her daughter's family, and the food they prepared was exquisite, but Zhao Chongzhao and Xie Ze'an didn't know how to appreciate it, so they swept away all of them in one go.

Princess Yan Ning could only ask someone to serve them some meat.

Zhao Chongzhao and Xie Ze'an had a good time, and they took turns telling Princess Yan Ning interesting things about the capital.At the back, Princess Yan Ning also let go, and asked Xie Ze'an to finish telling her the story of Meng Lijun on her birthday, Xie Ze'an asked Princess Yan Ning what she heard, and continued to tell her for her with a smile.

Princess Yan Ning's physical strength was not as good as theirs, even though she tried hard to open her eyes, she still unconsciously fell asleep listening to Xie Ze'an's voice.

Xie Ze'an glanced at Zhao Chongzhao.

Zhao Chongzhao understood, and lightly carried Princess Yan Ning back to her room and put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

After running out, Zhao Chongzhao was very happy to see Xie Ze'an obediently waiting there.He said: "Sanlang, Ning'er hasn't been this happy for a long time, you still have a way!"

"Your Highness has made the princess laugh many times," Xie Ze'an said, "Your Highness, if it's okay, I have to go back."

Zhao Chongzhao was a bit reluctant, but he also knew that the curfew time was approaching, and Xie Ze'an would not be able to leave the palace if he did not leave the palace.Reluctantly, he said, "I'll go find you tomorrow morning!"

Xie Ze'an said: "...I will go to the East Palace."

Zhao Chongzhao said "Oh": "That's right, then I'll wait for you!"

Unable to think of a reason to go to Xie Zean, Zhao Chongzhao waved goodbye to Xie Zean in a dazed manner.

Xie Ze'an rushed back to Xie's mansion before the curfew.

Before taking a breath, Xie Ze'an saw Xie Dalang in his courtyard.Standing beside Xie Dalang was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, Yunniang who was sent by him to King Qi to "learn skills".

Xie Ze'an asked softly: "Ms. Yun is back? Did you gain anything?"

Yunniang replied seriously: "Fortunately, I am not disgraceful!"

Xie Ze'an is happy.

Yunniang was a treasure he picked up in Ren Yazi's hands. She was from a good family background. He had already learned calligraphy when he bought it, so it was easy to teach.What's even more rare is that Yunniang has extraordinary talent and a nature that loves to study. In modern times, she is a rare high-level scientific research talent!

Xie Ze'an said: "The method of steelmaking should be completed as soon as possible and handed over to the Ministry of Industry. You can follow up on the glass greenhouse."

Having seen Yao Dingyan's criticism of King Qi, Xie Ze'an didn't want Yunniang to keep this hot potato in her hands. It's safer for these little people to deal with small things like food, clothing, housing and transportation!

After thinking about it, Xie Ze'an added: "Go back to the 'private school' and pick a few people to help you, and teach them by the way. Also, we don't have many people now, so if you meet a good craftsman, don't worry about it Origin, bring them over and show me."

Yun Niang nodded, keeping Xie Zean's words firmly in her heart.

Xie Ze'an said: "You must be exhausted after rushing all the way back, go and rest."

Yunniang backed down as she said.

Xie Ze'an was still a little uncomfortable with Yun Niang's respect, and only looked at Xie Dalang after she left.

Xie Dalang and him looked at each other for a while, and wrote on the paper: "What does the prince want you to do?"

Xie Ze'an said: "It's nothing, today is the princess' birthday, His Majesty promised His Highness to let me enter the palace to celebrate her, so His Highness went to the eldest grandson's house to find me into the palace."

Xie Dalang frowned.

Xie Ze'an stretched his waist: "I'm exhausted too, go to bed first, Dalang, you go to bed early too."

Xie Dalang nodded, watched Xie Zean enter the room, and stood there for a long time without leaving.

Xie Dalang had an absurd guess in his mind.

Not only Zhao Chongzhao's attitude towards his family's Saburo is unusual, but the attitude of Zhao Chongzhao's whole family towards their family's Saburo is also unusual!
