Not long after following Zhang Hao in a zigzag manner, they arrived at a small, secluded courtyard with a road paved with white jade.
In the courtyard, Zuo Ning took a quick look and saw that some extremely valuable plants were arranged neatly and swaying in the wind. And placed in the center of the entire courtyard is a small tree that looks like a coiled dragon, is all jade white, and exudes a light fragrance.
Zuo Ning recognized this tree.
It is a "Hailongzhi" tree.
"This sea dragon mushroom was obtained from Yunzhou. Your Majesty likes flowers and plants, and he raises these small trees. His majesty planted this sea dragon mushroom here with his own hands. It's precious."
Noticing Zuo Ning's gaze on Hailongzhi, Zhang Hao explained, "Although Hailongzhi is called sea dragon and zhi, it only grows in valleys, and it is also a rare natural and earthly treasure. It is the number one healing elixir in the world and the main ingredient of the rejuvenation elixir."
Zhang Hao explained eloquently.
After all, he had painstakingly collected this Hailongzhi tree from the border between "Yunzhou" and Beiliao, and he had put in a lot of effort to please the Qing Emperor.
"Thank you, father-in-law, for your advice."
Zuo Ning did not interrupt him. After Zhang Hao stopped talking, he respectfully thanked him.
Of course he knew where this Hailongzhi was obtained from Yunzhou. It was clearly snatched in Beiliao. Hailongzhi is valuable and rare, and there are only a handful of known plants in the world. Beiliao's top-quality Hailongzhi was stolen, which even caused Beiliao to send troops south once. That time was also the first time that he led his troops into a fierce battle.
The natural outcome was for Bei Liao to return in defeat and eat a mouthful of dirt.
The Resurrection Pill is the best healing pill in the world. Even the seriously injured body of the Martial Saint can be reshaped and reshaped in a short time, making it heal as before.
Same as Second Life.
It's no wonder that Beiliao's dog jumped over the wall in a hurry.
In order to please His Majesty, Zhang Hao did not hesitate to go to the enemy's territory to steal, and even led to armed conflicts on the border.
It is not without reason that Shen Yunzhou hates this person so much.
After bypassing the Heliconia tree, there is a path with Polygonatum odorifera planted on both sides. At the end of the path, there is a house with red walls and glazed tiles. The door of the house is half open, and there are three words on the plaque above.
Royal study room.
The plaque made of unknown precious wood has a strong sense of history and vicissitudes. The large characters written in gold lacquer have not faded at all. They are moving like a dragon and are majestic.
At the back door, you can vaguely see a white screen and a shelf full of potted plants.
arrive.
The two of them stopped at the same time. Zhang Hao, who was half a body faster than Zuo Ning, bent down slightly and said:
"You wait here, I'll go in first and inform you."
Zhang Hao shook off the whisk in his hand, put on a humble and respectful face, half-bent his body, and under Zuo Ning's gaze, he stepped forward, crossed the threshold, and walked into the Imperial Study Room.
At this moment, Shen Yi was not the only one in the imperial study room. There was also a quiet girl standing next to the desk full of memorials, looking for something on the bookshelf next to it.
Shen Yi was naturally still too lazy to read the memorial. He leaned lazily on the chair and looked at his daughter who was looking for a book at the side with a smile on his face.
"Report, Your Majesty, Prince Yan Zuo Ning has arrived."
Zhang Hao, who was bending his body, quickly walked into the imperial study room and reported. At the same time, he also saw Princess Shen Luan who was looking for a book.
Then he looked at Shen Yi and then at Shen Luan beside him.
His eyes seemed to be asking Shen Yi for his opinion.
"Huaiyu, your husband is here."
Shen Yi was naturally too lazy to make decisions for his daughter, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with letting Shen Luan meet Zuo Ning in advance, so he gave Shen Luan the decision-making power to stay or go.
Shen Luan's pretty face blushed slightly when she heard that her future husband had arrived, but even though she was thin-skinned, driven by curiosity, she still wanted to see what this husband who was famous all over the world before leaving Yanzhou looked like.
So she bowed slightly while holding the book, and said as quietly as a mosquito: "Father, my daughter wants to see what her future husband will be like..."
"Let him in."
After hearing what Shen Luan said, Shen Yi waved to Zhang Hao and gave instructions.
"?ah?"
When Shen Luan heard this, he originally thought he was being asked to hide in a corner and take a peek, but he didn't expect that Zuo Ningxuan was invited directly in!
"The other person is a grand master, and you, Uncle Yunzhou, are a powerful martial artist. If you hide and look at others, others will be able to sense you. It will be less obvious if you hide."
Although Shen Yi still looked carefree, he still had a very clear understanding of this aspect and opened his mouth to explain to his daughter.
It was too late to hide now. Shen Luan could only sit on the small chair on the side with a red face, lowering his head and saying nothing.
"Xuan, Prince Yan Zuo Ning!"
Zhang Hao straightened his back, flicked the fly whisk in his hand, and spoke loudly.
Zuo Ning, who was standing outside, heard Zhang Hao's voice, then took a step forward, gathered his thoughts, and walked into the imperial study.
After walking around the screen and seeing the middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe sitting behind the table, Zuo Ning knelt down on one knee and saluted Shen Yi:
"Folk Zuo Ning, pay your respects to the Holy One."
After spotting Zuo Ning kneeling on one knee with the corner of his eye, Shen Luan Subai's fingers couldn't help but pinch. His already unsettled heart was even more chaotic at this moment.
Zuo Ning had already seen the girl sitting aside, as quiet as a virgin, and guessed the girl's identity at once.
The princess who married him, Huaiyu.
However, Zuo Ning just glanced at her and stopped focusing on this stunningly beautiful and quiet girl.
"There is a priority when doing things, and the etiquette is thoughtful."
Shen Yi looked calm and commented on Zuo Ning silently. He raised his hand and motioned for Zuo Ning to stand up, and then said with a smile:
"My worthy son-in-law was originally guarding the country for Daqing in Yanzhou, but now he has called you to the capital to marry the princess in a hurry. I'm sorry to trouble you."
Zuo Ning said quickly: "Marrying the princess is a blessing that Zuo Ning has cultivated for several lifetimes. Why bother? If your Majesty has your destiny, Zuo Ning will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
When Shen Yi saw this, he did not continue to talk about anything and went straight to the topic. Then he directly handed the tiger talisman and official seal that had been put aside long ago to Zhang Hao to Zuo Ning.
"Don't call yourself a commoner. I'm afraid of being laughed at when I recruit a commoner as my son-in-law. You have a military background. You should continue to lead troops in the capital from now on."
Shen Yi said cheerfully, "There's nothing going on. Just go and take office tomorrow. You'll get married to Huaiyu in a few days. Huaiyu."
Hearing his father calling him, Shen Luan held back his heart and responded softly:
"My daughter is here."
"Please accompany your husband for a walk in the palace."
After saying that, Shen Yi stood up and left the imperial study room under the watch of three people. He probably continued to take care of his flowers and plants.
"yes."
Hearing this, Shen Luan first agreed, then raised his head slightly and looked at Zuo Ning standing on the side with his beautiful eyes.
"Captain Zuo, our family will send the official seal to Zuo Mansion first. Please keep the tiger talisman." Zhang Hao handed the tiger talisman on the plate to Zuo Ning's hand and said.
"Please don't worry, father-in-law, it's natural."
After seeing Zuo Ning put the Forbidden Tiger Talisman into the lining, Zhang Hao bent down and left.
