Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen thanked the emperor and stood up.
The prince continued: "My dear, please step aside for the moment while I discuss some private matters with Master Zhang."
Master Chen looked at Zhang Xuan, then at the emperor, bowed and left.
As soon as Zhang Xuanfu came in, he saw the emperor sitting on a chair against the wall. He was dressed in plain clothes and had a melancholy look on his face. He seemed to be deeply worried, and he couldn't help but be quite surprised. At this moment, seeing Mr. Chen retreat, Zhang Xuan strode to the Prince's side, sat on the chair next to him, and said, "The Prince summoned me all the way here. There must be something important, right?"
The four maids standing in the room with their hands hanging down were very surprised when they saw Zhang Xuan sitting down beside the emperor without hesitation. They thought to themselves: This country boy really doesn't understand the rules. How can you sit next to the king? The place? Even the second-in-command of the imperial court, Dazhu Guo, didn’t dare to sit down easily!
Sima Letian didn't seem to care about Zhang Xuan's rudeness at all, and responded: "Master Zhang, I have heard a lot about your deeds of conquering demons and slaying demons. It is a blessing for the dynasty to have such outstanding talents. , the good fortune of the country, as the master of the livelihood of the people, how can I not see your grace with my own eyes!"
"Your Majesty, thank you very much. I did those things because of the situation and my last resort." Zhang Xuan said, "My name is Zhang Xuan, courtesy name Zi'ang. You can just call me Zi'ang."
"Okay, Zi Ang." Sima Letian said, "How did you achieve your ability to conquer demons? Did you have a famous teacher give you advice, or did you learn it by yourself without a teacher?"
"Opportunities come together." Zhang Xuan responded calmly, "Extraordinary things and extraordinary people usually come from extraordinary opportunities and cannot be measured by common sense."
He was so vague because he actually thought that no one would believe what he had experienced. Since no one believes it, just don’t tell it and always give people a sense of mystery. Many times, people believe in those mysterious and mysterious things.
Next, Sima Letian asked Zhang Xuan about his experience in subduing demons. Zhang Xuan didn't hide anything, and told him everything he had done. Hearing Sima Letian's blood surge and sigh, his emotions fluctuated like the tide.
After listening to Zhang Xuan's narration, Sima Letian was still immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself. After a long time, he said: "Zi'ang, those deeds of yours, when you talk about them, they sound light and gentle, but in fact they are shocking to the heavens and weeping ghosts and gods. Even I am very moved." . Through your actions, you have saved a people from being harmed by demons. You can be called the savior of the people and the pillar of the dynasty. The court must reward you heavily!"
Zhang Xuan said: "What savior, pillar, whatever you say, I don't care too much. I care more about the big rewards you mentioned. I come from a poor family, and I am used to living a poor life. I always look forward to the reward." The fish is turning over. When you don’t have to worry about food and clothing, that would be great!”
After hearing this, Sima Letian took the opportunity to start a family affair with Zhang Xuan and asked about Zhang Xuan's family situation.
Zhang Xuan answered all questions and told the truth about his family's situation. Finally, he said: "Your Majesty, my father died early. It was not easy for my mother to raise us siblings, but we survived those hard days." , The current situation at home is pretty good. My sister is already married, and my mother’s only concern is when I will marry a wife and when she will have a grandchild.”
"Oh?" Sima Letian smiled when he heard this, "If you meet me, this matter will be much simpler, here!"
As Sima Letian spoke, he pointed at the beautiful maids: "They are all young ladies waiting to be married. Whichever one you fall in love with, I will make a deal for you. Your mother's wish to have a grandson will soon come true." .”
These words made several palace ladies blush.
Zhang Xuan looked at the palace maids, shook his head and said: "My dear emperor, I'm afraid I can't accept your kindness. I told my mother that I would marry a goddess and immortal as my wife, and I can't break my promise. If I marry a mortal, Woman, if you give birth to a child, I will become a god in the future. If I am not around to discipline you, will those children not be able to go to heaven?"
At this point, he thought of the fifth prince again and said with an unhappy face: "No matter who you are, you have to discipline your children. You can't let your children behave outside and bully others. If you ask me, you can discipline your children." Not very successful!”
Several palace maids felt very nervous when they heard what he said, for fear that the emperor would take it out on them in anger.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Sima Letian nodded frequently and said: "Well, despite your young age, you are quite good at things. None of my children don't make me worry about them. You can say, damn." My heart is broken, alas!”
"If you ask me, just worrying is not enough, you have to beat those who deserve to be beaten!" Zhang Xuan imagined the fucked-up look of the fifth prince and said, "Boys are useless if they are not beaten. You have to be ruthless and take good care of them."
"Hey, hey!" Sima Letian smiled bitterly, "What you said is actually not bad, but what worries me the most in our family is the girls, especially my seventh daughter. I simply can't do anything with her."
"Ah?" Zhang Xuan said in surprise, "No matter how good a girl is, how can she do it? If she doesn't obey, you might as well beat her a few times like a boy, and see if it hurts her!"
He, an unmarried young man, actually taught Sima Letian how to discipline his children, which made several palace ladies cover their mouths and laugh non-stop.
Sima Letian still looked serious and said, "I summoned you to the palace, which actually means that I want you to worry about your seventh daughter."
The emperor's seventh daughter, also known as the seventh princess to the world, asked Zhang Xuan to worry about the seventh princess, which made Zhang Xuan confused for a while.
"Ah? Your Majesty, are you unable to do it yourself and ask me to beat the seventh daughter on your behalf? Oh, no, beat the seventh princess?" Zhang Xuan asked with a straight eyebrow.
Sima Letian shook his head slowly, his expression gradually becoming gloomy: "Zi'ang, you misunderstood me. My seventh daughter Baguio is very beautiful and has a very gentle and kind personality. Everyone who meets her says she is cute. , I also like her the most among all my children. However, half a year ago, she began to become abnormal, her body often shook inexplicably, and sometimes she fainted from shaking."
"Oh, this is not good!" Zhang Xuan sighed and responded, "Such a lovely woman, if she suddenly appears in such a situation, it must be because she is contaminated with something unclean, so why didn't you ask someone to exorcise her? "
Sima Letian said: "Zi'ang, to tell you the truth, the royal family can do anything you can think of, not to mention the seventh daughter is my most beloved child. If cutting off a piece of my flesh can make her return to normal, I will not hesitate. I cut a piece of meat for her without blinking an eye. In the past six months, I have thought of all the ways I can think of, and used all the means I can use. The imperial doctors in the palace, and even the witches and blessings outside, all came to Qi My daughter spent a lot of energy on her, but failed to make any achievements."
When he said this, he seemed to regard Zhang Xuan as an old friend, and talked about everything with confidence.
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but murmur after hearing this. This seventh princess suffered from tremors for no reason, and it must have been caused by being infected with evil spirits. He does have some methods to drive away evil spirits, and he has also used them on Xiaomi, the daughter of Old Man Yun from Lakeside. However, the children of the royal family like to bully others. If the seventh princess is like the fifth prince, then he cannot treat her.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan said: "Your Majesty, is your seventh daughter really as gentle, kind and non-bullying as you said?"
Before Sima Letian could answer, a palace maid next to her rushed to say: "Little brother, you are asking too much! Who in the palace doesn't know the seventh princess's temperament? She is always kind to us palace residents and never gets angry. Too bad."
oh?
After hearing this, these people immediately felt relieved and said: "Your Majesty, if you say so, I can try to treat the seventh princess. However, I am a male and the seventh princess is a female. I am afraid she will not be seen by then. It has to be convenient.”
When Sima Letian heard that Zhang Xuan was willing to treat the seventh princess, he was very happy and said: "Zi'ang, don't worry, no one will make irresponsible remarks on this matter. The royal people are not like you country people." Dieban, you are in contact with the Seventh Princess just to treat her illness, it’s normal!”
"May I ask how old the seventh princess is?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"I will be fifteen years old by the end of the year." Sima Letian responded, "In my opinion, you are almost the same age."
"It's a coincidence that I'm the same age as her," Zhang Xuan said, "but the same age has different fates. She is a princess, and I am just a country boy."
