Zhang Ze is already a very useful person to the emperor, but he still lives in the same place.
The eaves are low and the doors and windows are narrow. Fortunately, they are kept clean and there are two pots of flowers on the windowsill.
"Miss Xue, please drink tea." Zhang Ze's apprentice Zhang Fuxiang enthusiastically brought the tea over. "This is this year's new tea. You can smell the fragrance through the tea can."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Zhang." Xue Hengzhao nodded slightly, "Please sit down, too."
"Don't dare, don't dare," Zhang Fuxiang waved his hands hurriedly, "What kind of idiot am I? I don't deserve to sit in front of a girl. My master has to serve His Majesty for dinner every day before he has time to come back. Please be patient and wait. .”
"I'm not in a hurry," Xue Hengzhao smiled, "If you have something to do, little Eunuch Zhang, just go there. There's no need to accompany me specially."
"The girl is really considerate, and she really can't push away things," Zhang Fuxiang said with disapproval, "I'm neglecting you."
"It doesn't matter, you can trust me and don't want to talk to me if you leave me here alone. Father-in-law, just go and do some business." Xue Hengzhao said, picking up the teacup, "This tea smells so good."
"Thank you Miss Xue for your understanding." Zhang Fuxiang showed a smile on his face and showed great respect to Xue Hengzhao. This kind of respect was not pretended.
After Zhang Ze finished his work at the front, he hurried back to his residence.
It was already dusk at this time, and there were no lights in the room, so it was quite dark.
As soon as Zhang Ze entered the door, he saw Xue Hengzhao standing in front of the window, slightly bent over and looking at the two pots of flowers.
"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting, Miss Xue." Zhang Ze said, glancing at the tea on the table, "I asked Fuxiang to make tea to accompany you. Where did the others go?"
"Eunuch Zhang, don't blame him wrongly. Little Eunuch Zhang is indeed in trouble, and he only left because I asked him to leave again and again." Xue Hengzhao said, "Besides, I feel more comfortable being alone, right?"
"Just don't be offended, girl. It's really hard for you to come to this place. It's so easy for you to come here. Don't neglect it." Zhang Ze said and wiped the sweat from his forehead. From Yangze Palace to the eunuch I live in a veranda, which is quite far away.
"I just saw that these two pots of flowers are so cute that I can't see them anywhere else in the palace. My father-in-law is so elegant." Xue Hengzhao smiled.
"Hey, these are not fancy flowers," Zhang Ze felt a little embarrassed, "It's just a wild flower on the roadside. I brought it back when I left the palace. Because there were so many of them in front of my house when I was a child, I kept them kindly."
"This shows that my father-in-law is a person who never forgets his roots," Xue Hengzhao came over and said, "Only by not forgetting our roots can we last long."
"Miss Xue really praised me too much," Zhang Ze said with a smile, "But having said that, I am indeed a nostalgic person. You should not forget your roots as a human being. If you forget your roots, do you still deserve to be a human being?
I, Zhang Ze, am today thanks to the support of Miss Xue. No matter when the time comes, as long as you say a word, I will be willing to be a pawn. "
"Eunuch Zhang has also helped me a lot, and Hengzhao will never forget your kindness. We trust each other so that we can have good results in the future." Xue Hengzhao said, "Besides, father-in-law, you are a smart man. "
"As for being smart, I don't dare to compare with you." Zhang Ze said with a smile, "I'm just a little smart. If it weren't for your guidance, girl, how far would I be able to go."
"Is Shang Qiyan still too wary of you now?" Xue Hengzhao asked.
"According to my thinking, there should be five points of defense." Zhang Ze thought for a while and said.
"That's enough. There's no need to deliberately dispel his wariness." Xue Hengzhao said, "We didn't want to shake his position."
"Shang Qiyan has a big tree with deep roots and is an old fox. The queen does not dare to fight with him, let alone others.
What we have to do is just avoid him and not confront him head-on. "Zhang Ze deeply agreed.
"Concubine Li has been trying to win over you," Xue Hengzhao said, "my father-in-law has never agreed before, but now you should agree when you see the opportunity."
"What should I do after I agree?" Zhang Ze asked.
"Of course I have to support Concubine Li with all my strength," Xue Hengzhao smiled sweetly, "I want Concubine Li to be more favored and more popular."
"Empress Li is already very favored now." Zhang Ze said, "The emperor has given her more rewards than the queen."
"This is not enough, far from enough. Father-in-law, you must spare no effort to plan for her, just like..." Xue Hengzhao's eyes moved like a glass lamp in front of a Buddha, "just like Liang Jing did to Yao Ziyun."
"Ah?!" Zhang Ze was stunned and said after a long time, "Then...isn't that..."
"It's just what my father-in-law thought," Xue Heng smiled, "Father-in-law will be here next."
"Everything is at your discretion, girl," Zhang Ze said with a sudden heart, "I, Zhang Ze, have put my life in your hands."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for trusting me. Heng Zhao doesn't dare to brag about it, but as long as God doesn't play tricks on me, you and I can finally get things done.
We will no longer be able to meet each other in the future, and we must not let anyone know about any contact between us.
My father-in-law is a smart man, so I don’t need to tell you what to do, but there are three things you must remember..." Xue Hengzhao lowered his voice very low, and Zhang Ze also listened.
After Xue Hengzhao finished speaking, he looked at the sky outside: "It's getting late, I have to go back."
He also told Zhang Ze: "The road ahead will be uneven, so please take care of yourself, father-in-law."
Zhang Ze also stood up and sent Xue Hengzhao out: "Miss Xue, go slowly. I have remembered your words. I hope we can meet each other after the disaster and be safe."
Xue Hengzhao took advantage of the night and took a long circuit back to Furong Palace. At this time, Chi Su was looking for her everywhere.
"Where did you go? The dinner is already cold." Chi Su said when he saw her, "There is the duck stuffed with bean skin that you like to eat. I didn't ask them to move it, so I kept it for you!"
"You're too biased. I'm not the only one who likes that food. Besides, how can I eat so much?" Xue Hengzhao walked in with a smile.
"Eat your own food first, and then tell others about it after you've eaten." Chi Su said, "Don't think that I don't know what's wrong with you. If someone touches a plate of food, you won't use your chopsticks."
"I'm actually not that noble," Xue Hengzhao smiled even harder, "I'll eat whatever you eat."
"Wash your hands quickly and take a sip of soup first." Chi Su pushed Xue Hengzhao, "After eating, take a break and take medicine."
"Still taking medicine?" Xue Hengzhao complained, "Didn't you finish all of it?"
"This is the last meal," Chi Su said. "The prince got it with great difficulty. I see that you have become much stronger these days, so don't let your efforts fall short."
There are so many people inside and outside your palace that are making people upset. If you continue to disobey me, I will leave it alone. "
"Yes, yes, Manager Chi." Xue Hengzhao nodded casually, "Stop nagging me, why can't I eat it?"
