Chapter 308: Looking for Zhang Ze’s face-to-face instruction
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, and 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 every day for dinner before he has time to come back. Please be patient and wait.
.”
"I'm not in a hurry," Xue Hengzhao smiled, "If Mr. Zhang has something to do, you can go there and you don't have to accompany me specially."
"The girl is really considerate, and she really can't push away things when she's young," Zhang Fuxiang said with disapproval, "That would be a slight on you."
"It's okay, you can trust me by leaving me here alone and don't want to see me outside. 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 said with a smile on his face, and he showed great respect to Xue Hengzhao. This kind of respect was not pretended.
After Zhang Ze finished his work in front, he hurried back to his residence.
It was already dusk at this time, and there were no lights on in the house, 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. Young Eunuch Zhang is indeed in trouble, and he left only after I repeatedly asked him to leave." 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, wiping the sweat from his forehead and walking 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 very 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 walked 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. As a human being, you should not forget your roots. 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, 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.
"
"If you say I'm 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 have gone?"
"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 is no need to deliberately dispel his wariness." Xue Hengzhao said, "We didn't want to shake his position in the first place."
"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 to avoid him and not confront him head-on." Zhang Ze was convinced.
"Concubine Li has been trying to win over you," Xue Hengzhao said. "My father-in-law has never agreed before, but now that I have seen the opportunity, I will accept it."
"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 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 heartbeat, "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 his plan, but as long as God doesn't deliberately make fun of 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 write down..." 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 Heng out of the house: "Miss Xue, go slowly. I have remembered your words. I hope we can meet again 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 are too partial. I am not the only one who likes that food. Besides, how can I eat so much?" Xue Hengzhao smiled and walked inside.
"Eat your own food first, and then talk to others after you have eaten." Chi Su said, "Don't think that I don't know your problem. If someone else 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 the medicine?"
"It's the last meal," Chi Su said, "Your Majesty, it was so easy to ask for it. I see that you have become much stronger these days, so don't let your efforts fall by the wayside.
Because of how many people in and outside your palace are making a fuss, if you continue to disobey me, I will leave you alone."
