This belated person is Qin Zhou, the leader of the guards of Mingguang Palace.
He had previously taken leave of absence from the palace because his wife was ill. Now that his wife is fine, he can come back.
Of course he knew about Zheng Ji leaving the palace and opening a mansion, and made his choice.
Since Concubine Jiang had given her too much, he had no worries at all, so he wholeheartedly expressed his willingness to follow Princess Changding out of the palace.
For the sake of silver, let him go east and west. There is no complaint about this!
When he learned that Princess Changding had rewarded Changding rate with so much silver, he almost sighed: He could have just come back half a day earlier!
However, as long as it is related to silver, in his opinion, it must be a matter of going all out.
So, he rubbed his hands and asked expectantly: "Your Highness, are you considered a member of Chang Ding Rate? The reward of fifty taels, and an additional twenty taels of silver per month, also belongs to me." ?”
Zheng Ji didn't say anything, just looked at him with a smile, and sighed in his heart: Qin Zhou is so young at this time.
Unlike other guard leaders, Qin Zhou was particularly handsome and had a deep dimple on his left cheek, making him look more than ten years younger than his actual age.
People who didn't know better thought he was a civil servant holding a pen. How could they have imagined that he was actually a military attaché holding a sword?
Later, he became a famous Confucian general in the country and was nicknamed "General Xiu".
That's right, no one would have thought that the money-grubbing man in front of him would later become General Yunhui who guarded one side.
Not to mention other people, even Zheng Ji found it incredible.
Qin Zhou had been following her in his previous life, from Mingguang Palace to Princess Changding's Mansion. After she was sent to prison, even though he was implicated in her and lost his official position, he still tried every means to rescue her.
After she was rescued from prison by Fengju, he helped her out in many ways, and also experienced a narrow escape from death.
A casual sentence he often made was: "Since my subordinate has received so much money from the imperial concubine and empress, I must protect His Highness."
Taking people's money and doing things for them is Qin Zhou's principle.
In Zheng Ji's view, being able to buy the following and loyalty of a General Yunhui with silver taels should be the most cost-effective deal his mother-in-law has ever made.
Feng Ju admired Qin Zhou very much and gave him guidance from time to time. He was half a teacher to him.
Qin Zhou's ability to become General Yunhui was absolutely inseparable from Feng Ju's teachings.
However, that is all for the future.
Now Qin Zhou is just a money-grubbing leader of the guards, and he is still separated from the general of the 24th squad by thousands of mountains and rivers.
Qin Zhou was so stared at by her that he said dryly: "Your Highness, why don't I give up the fifty taels that I was given as a reward, and just give me an extra twenty taels?"
Zheng Ji pursed his lips, looking inscrutable.
Qin Zhou gritted his teeth and reluctantly changed his words: "Your Highness, how about your subordinate only receive ten taels of silver every month?"
Seeing Zheng Ji, he still didn't speak. He said bitterly: "Five taels, Your Highness, we really cannot have any less! I have to treat my wife and have a large family to support!"
Zheng Ji laughed and said calmly: "This palace can reward you twice a month, with no less than twenty taels each time."
twice? No less than twenty taels?
Qin Zhou took a breath and his eyes instantly brightened.
Immediately, he asked cautiously: "Your Highness, what extra do you need to do?"
Twelve hours of attendance? But His Highness has been protecting for a long time, and the guard force is enough. One more person is not more, and one less person is not less. There is no need for him to protect.
That's another private matter, what is it?
Mostly it has something to do with Crown Prince Song, right? Do you want him to keep an eye on Prince Song? Even if he was rewarded forty taels per month, he did it!
But His Highness smiled and looked him up and down...
Could it be that His Highness took a fancy to his body and wanted him to serve her with sex?
It depends on how much money His Highness gives. If you give more, it is not impossible.
He is powerful and physically strong, and his price is at least twice as high as those of those waiters... no, ten times more!
After listening to his self-narration, Zheng Ji couldn't help laughing and laughed "haha".
She just likes this about Qin Zhou. He does things as soon as he gets the money, and clearly marks the price. Everything is done according to the money.
As luck would have it, she had nothing else for the time being and was really not short of money.
After laughing, she said: "I don't need you to protect me, and I don't need you to sell yourself. You just need to keep an eye on one person for me."
"Is there such a good thing?" Qin Zhou blurted out, it was unbelievable.
After the surprise, he hesitated and said: "Your Highness, you won't let your subordinates stare at the emperor, right? This is too difficult..."
He has already followed His Highness out of the palace, and it is already difficult to enter the palace.
Besides, there are Fengchen guards beside the emperor. It is impossible to keep an eye on the emperor!
He felt like his heart was bleeding. It seemed that he didn't have the ability to get these two monthly rewards.
"Don't worry, it's not my father." Zheng Ji said with a smile, "Go to Anlehou Mansion and help me keep an eye on a person. Keep an eye on what he does every day and who he meets. No matter how big or small, I will know everything." Clearly.”
Hearing this, Qin Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief. He just said, it must be related to Song Shizi!
The Crown Prince of Song has no martial arts skills, and the guards at the Anlehou Mansion are not very powerful. This is not difficult for him. It is really a good job that you can't even find with a lantern!
He immediately patted his chest and promised: "Your Highness, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely keep a close eye on Crown Prince Song, no matter which girl he is with..."
"It's not Song Zan." Zheng Ji interrupted him to prevent him from wondering where he was going.
"Huh?" Qin Zhou had the word "curious" written all over his face.
If it’s not the Crown Prince of Song, who else in the Anlehou Mansion is worthy of Your Highness’s attention?
"Anlehou Song Qiyan." Zheng Ji said lightly, the smile on his face had faded.
At this moment, Qin Zhou's eyes widened and he was speechless.
Why should Your Highness pay attention to Song Qiyan, the Marquis of Anle? This is Your Highness’s future father-in-law. Isn’t this... inappropriate?
Song Qiyan, the Marquis of Anle, was said to be a rare handsome man when he was young. Qin Zhou's biggest impression of him was his beautiful beard.
Others, there is no more.
Although the Anlehou Mansion was a noble family, its family fortunes had fallen into decline, and Song Qiyan had only received a fifth-rank official position in the court, so he was really not very conspicuous in Jingzhao where there were so many powerful people.
Only Song Zan, the prince of Anlehou, had the title of Yuguang Langjun in Jingzhao. He was also a talented young man and was praised by everyone in Jingzhao.
When the emperor issued a decree granting the marriage, many people sighed and secretly said, "What a pity."
In order to prevent the relatives from becoming too powerful, according to the regulations of the dynasty, the highest official position for the prince-in-law can only be the fifth rank. Considering Song Zan's talent and ability, his future career will definitely not be limited to the fifth rank.
Isn't this a pity?
If His Highness asked him to stare at Crown Prince Song, he would understand, but staring at Anlehou would really make him confused.
