Rebirth: Be Your Space

After introducing Xiaohao to the bank, Zhang Meng didn't intervene anymore, and whether he could make a breakthrough depends entirely on his own efforts.However, Su's house became the place he and Yan Jintong went to most frequently except Prince Qin's Mansion. Mrs. Su's legs and feet have improved a lot, but it will take some time to move freely.Xiaohuan is still young, so it's not appropriate to let him set up a stall on the street.Zhang Meng thought that Aunt Su's craftsmanship was really good, so he entrusted Xuan Liu to help her find a job in the hut in Yanye City, and asked Xiaohuan to pick it up every few days, and send it over after finishing the work.Wait until her legs and feet are better before going to work in the shop.Zhang Meng helped them find two jobs and solved the family's livelihood problem. Everyone in that family was very grateful to him, and Xiaohuan also liked to cling to him even more, calling Zhang Meng's brother all day long.

Xuan Liu has been living in the palace since returning to Zhuye, occasionally coming to Prince Qin's mansion to meet with them, but the real purpose is to covet Zhang Meng's delicious dishes.Occasionally, Tong Shanjun will cook with him when he is free, and that meal will definitely evolve from a dinner table to a battlefield.The world eats the most, so the relationship between master and servant and brotherhood have to be sidelined.

Tong Shanjun happened to be at home that day, so he and Zhang Meng packed up a large table of dishes. After getting the news, Xuan Liu rushed back from the palace quickly, but to everyone's surprise, the person who came with him was also There is one person, Xuan Jue who is the king of Songchen Kingdom.

"I think this is the son of Hengyaoyan's family. I have heard of your name for a long time. When I saw you today, you are indeed dignified and extraordinary. You and Xiaoliu can be regarded as brothers of the same school. It is also a predestined relationship with our Xuan family." Xuan Jue looked between Zhang Meng and Yan Jintong decisively and then looked at the latter decisively. Obviously, he had seen the others before. As for why he didn't misidentify Zhang Meng, it was only because the temperaments of the two were quite different. Far, a little comparison with the rumors will be clear.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation." Yan Jintong replied respectfully, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Then this one should be the Zhang Meng that Xiaoliu often mentioned. He remembers your food very much, and even the royal chef in the palace is disgusted by him." Xuan Jue looked at him meaningfully. Empress Xuan Liu said to Zhang Meng.

"The emperor praised it. I just like to cook new things in the kitchen. Naturally, I can't compare with the royal chef in the palace." Zhang Meng also followed Yan Jintong's example and replied respectfully.

"Your Majesty, let's go to the table first, otherwise the delicacies on that table will be cold. Xuan Liu interrupted them at the right time and brought everyone's attention back to the table.

After all, the emperor was no better than other people. Although he was allowed to eat at the same table, the shameless group of people who usually grabbed food were still cautious. Even Xuan Huang, who had never looked like a prince, behaved a lot.At the whole table, only Xuan Liu was eating and drinking happily as usual, but he didn't know that he was about to be scolded to death by others.

Compared with the original version of this table, Zhang Meng, a modern person who has traveled through time, is not too restrained because of Xuan Jue, but is just curious, after all, this is the first time he has seen a living and true king of a country. Jun, don't everyone say that the emperor is the real dragon emperor, and I don't know if there is really something different from ordinary people.

After a meal, most of the people didn't know how to eat it, but Zhang Meng ate happily, because there was no group of hungry wolves competing for food, so the meal was very leisurely.Although the emperor came to eat without saying hello, and didn't say a few words from the time he entered the door to putting down his chopsticks, his behavior was much more elegant than his two princes and brothers, and he was not like the ones shown on TV before. It makes people kneel on the ground without moving.Although he never showed the second expression from the very beginning, Zhang Meng has long been used to it and is immune to it. Who made his family's one like a big iceberg? Even if it sinks, he can stand upright.

After the meal, Xuan Jue drove back to the palace without staying much longer. Xuan Liu wanted to stay longer to have a cup of scented tea and some snacks, but he had no choice but to follow back to the palace.Everyone heaved a sigh of relief after sending the emperor's big Buddha away, especially Xuan Huang, who usually did not have the demeanor of a prince at all, but when he came in front of the emperor, he seemed to be a different person. This emperor brother is very awe-inspiring.In comparison, Xuan Liu and the emperor are much closer. In other words, the emperor treats Xuan Liu far more laissez-faire and pampers him than Xuan Huang, his younger brother.

Seeing Zhang Meng's sympathetic look, Xuan Huang didn't take it seriously, he knew from a young age that the second brother was favored because of Concubine Li, and later the eldest brother held him in his palm to protect him after he succeeded to the throne.Xuan Huang, who was still young at first, would naturally be envious and even jealous. As one of the emperor's only three princes, although his mother and concubine are just an inconspicuous concubine next to the emperor, she is a cowardly but gentle woman.

After the second prince was born, the emperor no longer favored the harem, and he was also an unexpected product of Concubine Li's pregnancy.If it wasn't for Concubine Li's words to protect him, maybe he wouldn't even have the chance to be born. If it wasn't for the second emperor brother who got close to him, maybe he would become a forgotten prince after his mother and concubine passed away when he was seven years old. Live in the palace.

Not long after Emperor Songchen left, an imperial decree was sent to Prince Qin's Mansion, ordering Zhang Meng, Yan Jintong, and Tong Shanyun to enter the palace for a banquet at noon tomorrow.As the saying goes, don't guess what the emperor is thinking. Although Zhang Meng also has doubts about the banquet, he is more curious about the palace.

When the three of them arrived at the gate of the palace, Xuan Liu was already waiting there.Zhang Meng followed him all the way to the side hall where the banquet was held, and marveled at the imperial garden full of flowers, the carefully carved stone bridge, and even the pillars inlaid with unknown gemstones.As soon as the few people stepped into the side hall, they heard a shrill voice announcing "The emperor has arrived", and then a bright yellow figure walked out from the side hall.

"Everyone, please sit down. Today is just a family feast, so don't be restrained." The emperor sat down on the main seat after speaking.And Xuan Liu spontaneously sat by the food table not far from the main seat.

"Actually, I want to ask you for help with something this time. Although I think it's a big deal, I'm fine by myself, but Brother Huang just doesn't worry." After the wine and dishes were served one by one, Xuan Liu sent him back to the hall. The eunuch and maid of honor, and ordered people to close the gate of the palace.

"Xiao Liu, don't mess around. The back mountain has always been listed as a forbidden area by the royal family, and idlers can't enter at all. Naturally, we should be cautious when there is an abnormality this time. How could I let you risk it so easily? Even if you have entered the way of cultivation, It's not appropriate for one person to enter rashly, and you don't want me to accompany you..."

"Brother Huang, of course you can't go, what if you encounter any danger?" Xuan Liu interrupted Xuan Jue eagerly, probably he is the only one in Songchen who has the courage.

"There are pros and cons. I naturally have a choice, so I want to invite the three sons to accompany Xiaoliu. The right is that Xuan Jue personally asks all the sons, not as an emperor but as an elder brother." Xuan Jue raised his wine glass. After paying tribute to everyone, he drank it in one gulp.Although he still looked expressionless, Zhang Meng felt his sincerity. He really let go of his pride as an emperor for Xuan Liu.
