Prince Consort

Chapter 96

Yao Dingyan was not there, no one forced Xie Zean to get up early to work, and Xie Zean slept soundly in the early morning.Today there was no morning court, Zhao Ying called Xu Juncheng to go out of the palace in a low-clothes, after the Xie Mansion, Xu Juncheng talked to Xie Wangbo who came out to greet him, Zhao Ying and Zhao Chongzhao swaggered straight to Xie Zean's courtyard.

Princess Yan Ning had finished washing and washing, and was embroidering a purse for Xie Ze'an with a needle and thread. She was not good at embroidery, but she did it meticulously and seriously, so she never noticed the arrival of Zhao Ying and his party.

Seeing Princess Yan Ning's serious appearance from afar, Zhao Chongzhao spoke first: "Okay, when did you learn embroidery, Ning'er? Is this for Saburo? I want it too!"

Princess Yan Ning was so frightened that she was pricked by a needle, and blood dripped from her finger.Now it was Zhao Chongzhao's turn to be startled, he tore off a strip of cloth from his sleeve with a thud, and frantically wiped Princess Yanning's blood while wrapping the finger tightly.

Princess Yanning: "..."

Seeing Princess Yan Ning startled slightly, Zhao Chongzhao remembered that the siblings hadn't been this close for a long time.With a sore heart, he took Princess Yan Ning's hand and said, "It's so dangerous, so don't do it."

Princess Yan Ning sneered: "Brother, you used to choke on fish bones, and I never saw you not eating fish."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "I'm different. I have thick skin and rough flesh. It doesn't matter. Ning'er, you are different. Ning'er, you have never been injured since you were a child. The needle is sharp and thin. No matter how you look at it, it is not safe." "If Sanlang dares to ask you for it, I will beat him up for you!"

Zhao Ying laughed.

Zhao Chongzhao has always been insensitive to the relationship between men and women, how could he know what Yan Ning was thinking about a little girl.He didn't point it out, and said to Princess Yan Ning: "Sanlang hasn't woken up yet? This kid is really tired, and Mr. Yao is the only one who can cure him."

Princess Yan Ning said: "Sanlang is very busy on weekdays, and it's time to grow his body, so it's normal to go to bed later."

Zhao Chongzhao said with a smile: "It's too late to sleep, I'll wake him up!"

Princess Yan Ning thought that she and Xie Ze'an slept in separate beds, she paused when she heard the words, and said, "I'll go, it's hard for San Lang to wake me up..."

Zhao Ying glanced at her daughter, feeling somewhat enlightened.He said happily, "I'll come, I want to see how much he can sleep."

So when Xie Zean opened his eyes that day, the first thing he saw was the face of the king of the country...

Xie Ze'an: "..."

He quietly withdrew his kicking feet, put down the rolled-up sleeves, pulled up the quilt and neatly stuffed himself back into the quilt, closed his eyes, smiled, looked peaceful, and sighed dreamily: "Ah, really Thinking that I actually dreamed of my father, who is wise, martial, wise and unparalleled, I will definitely be lucky tomorrow..."

Princess Yan Ning let out a "puchi" laugh that did not give her face the most.

Zhao Ying said: "Stop pretending, kid, get up, Mr. Xu is still waiting outside."

Xie Ze'an had no choice but to grit his teeth and get out from under the quilt to put on his clothes.

Zhao Chongzhao found out that Xie Ze'an and his younger sister were not sleeping in the same bed from the moment he entered the door. He was overjoyed and asked, "Sanlang, why are you sleeping here?"

Xie Ze'an was shocked, thinking that one of the two people who ran in was his uncle and the other was his father-in-law, so he sneezed wittily, laughed and said, "I've been sneezing non-stop recently, maybe it's because I've caught a cold. , isn't it because I'm afraid it will be passed on to Yan Ning."

Zhao Ying looked at him meaningfully.

Of course Xie Ze'an knew that this was a legal marriage and it was normal for them to sleep together.But he has reached this age, and it is inevitable that some embarrassing things will happen when he wakes up in the morning. Princess Yan Ning is not only young, but her body is also very weak. How bad would it be if he accidentally became a beast?

And sleeping separately for so long, how strange it is to suddenly sleep together!

Princess Yan Ning also gave a calm "um", echoing what Xie Ze'an said.

Zhao Chongzhao believed their rhetoric and felt a little disappointed.He said to Princess Yan Ning: "Father said that we want to go to see the 'school' mentioned by San Lang together, Ning'er, do you want to go?"

Princess Yanning looked at Xie Zean.

Xie Ze'an said: "It's almost finished over there, Yan Ning, you should go and have a look too, call Auntie, Younger Sister, and Da Lang, and have lunch right there."

Princess Yanning said, "Okay."

Listening to his younger sister talking tacitly with Xie Zean, Zhao Chongzhao felt sour in his heart, even he himself didn't know whether it was because his sister was robbed by Xie Zean or because Xie Zean was robbed by his sister.Zhao Ying was present, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, he could only obediently watch Xie Zean finish his confession with his sister, and immediately stepped forward and pulled Xie Zean out.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xie came before he even walked out of the yard.

Zhao Ying stepped forward to give him a little support, and asked, "Is Mr. Xie still in good health?"

Mr. Xie said neither humble nor overbearing: "Thanks to His Majesty's concern, my old bones are still strong, and I may live to live to be a hundred years old."

Zhao Ying said, "That's natural."

It was only then that Xie Ze'an realized that there was still this big Buddha at home. He glanced at Xie Wangbo, thinking whether Xie Wangbo, his son of course, should stay and have lunch with the old man.

Xie Wangbo lived in Xie's mansion for so long, and he knew what Xie Zean was thinking when Xie Zean looked over.Xie Wangbo snorted coldly: "Usually the cover is so tight, and now you have brought so many people there, why don't you let me go?" He looked at Mr. Xie, "Grandfather should go too, anyway, the road is good and not bumpy. "

As a result, this trip that was supposed to be light and simple turned into a one-day trip for the whole family. Four carriages were used. Counting Zhao Ang and Erniang Changsun who came later, the four carriages were full.Coupled with the entourage on horseback guarding the left and right, it was bigger than a caravan, and dust was raised along the way.

Zhao Ying asked Zhao Chongzhao and Xie Zean to ride with her, and the three of them sat in the car and talked.

The Xie Mansion carriage does not look extravagant from the outside, but it is more stable and earthquake-resistant than ordinary carriages, and it is very comfortable to sit on.There is also Qiankun inside the compartment. Ice is placed in the carriage in summer, and it will be very cool once you enter it. The shelf inside is filled with sour plum wine, which is sweet and sour, cool and delicious, and there are also fresh fruit snacks, which are very comprehensive.

The car Zhao Ying was sitting in was used by Xie Zean when he was traveling, and on the other side were the idle books that Xie Zean passed the time to read when he was bored. The scriptures are either about eating, drinking, and having fun, and the one about eating is obviously the most read, and Xie Zean solemnly circled many places——

Looking left and right, Zhao Chongzhao didn't see the way, so he couldn't help asking: "Sanlang, what are you doing around them?"

Xie Ze'an said: "The ones that are circled with a tick mean that they have tasted it. There is another tick next to the tick, which means that the taste is good. Brother Zhang can ask people from Jinyulou to learn from other people's crafts; beside the tick is another tick. The ones that are marked with a cross indicate that they are not worthy of the prestigious name, they are unpalatable and unpalatable. There are some that are not ticked or crossed, which means that they are ready to try in the future.”

Zhao Chongzhao was not very happy: "Have you been to so many places?"

Xie Ze'an said: "Didn't some of them go with you, Your Highness?" He casually flipped through a few pages, pointing to a place to remind, "Like this, we just went to taste together."

Zhao Chongzhao said, "What about the others?"

Xie Ze'an said: "Others? Some went with Da Lang, some went with Uncle, some went with Mr. Yao, and Yan Lin and Ru Liu. They just go together when they meet. How can I remember so many."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "You don't even call me!"

Hearing Zhao Chongzhao's childish words, Xie Ze'an couldn't help but retort: ​​"Your Highness is usually busy, so it's impossible to go everywhere with Your Highness."

Zhao Chongzhao froze.

Zhao Chongzhao found that what he had done in the past two years was very stupid. He only wanted to keep a little distance from Xie Zean, so as not to expose his feelings for Xie Zean to others, but he never thought that Xie Zean would not wait for him at the same place.Xie Ze'an's life is much richer than others'. He is more serious in learning than others, and more devoted than others in playing. He will always make many friends.

Zhao Chongzhao said unreasonably: "You will call me next time."

Zhao Ying listened to their conversation as before, and looked at Xie Ze'an with a helpless face.He has seen Zhao Chongzhao's attitude towards Xie Ze'an and Yan Ning in the past two years, but if Zhao Chongzhao intends to alienate Xie Ze'an, he should not let a guy like Xie Xi take advantage of it.

Most likely, Xie Ze'an also has the intention of staying away from the vortex of power.

If it wasn't for Xie Xi's incident of a tiger entering the city, Zhao Ying would really worry about how to get Xie Ze'an to change his lazy temper.And after what happened with Xie Xi, Zhao Chongzhao should also know who is the one to get close to.

Zhao Ying didn't intervene, and Zhao Chongzhao forced Xie Ze'an to sign a series of "unequal treaties" all the way.

Soon, Shengping County has arrived.This small county is built near the water, and many waterwheels have been built in the past few years, and the fertile fields have increased a lot. The green rice and rice along the way are very pleasing to the eye.

After passing Shengping County for about three or four miles, we saw a dense forest belt.A high wall can be seen faintly behind the forest belt, blocking the scenery inside tightly, and outsiders have no way of detecting it.

There were guards guarding the door, all of whom Xie Zean borrowed from Princess Yan Ning.Seeing the mighty group of people coming, they didn't panic, but asked the driver to take out the token.

Xie Ze'an lifted the curtain of the car and walked out, said with a smile: "You have worked hard, there is a distinguished guest, so cheer up quickly."

Who could be Xie Zean's "Valented Guest"?The guard's expression froze, and he carefully looked behind Xie Ze'an.

When they saw Zhao Ying and Zhao Chongzhao, they knelt down on one knee and saluted: "I have seen Your Majesty, I have seen Your Highness!"

Zhao Ying said: "Get up." After speaking, she got off the horse with the help of the servant, and looked up at the scenery inside the high wall.
