Zhang Yanling returned home smelling of alcohol and entered the back room. Axiu was chatting with Xing'er and the others by the fire, laughing. As soon as Zhang Yanling came in, Xing'er, Tao'er and the others quickly stood up and saluted.
Take a walk.
Axiu got off the bed, sniffed and said, "How much did you drink? You smell of alcohol all over your body."
Zhang Yanling sat down on the chair and said: "There is nothing I can do, those young gentlemen are very naughty and will kill themselves when they drink."
Axiu came to Zhang Yanling and stared, Zhang Yanling said: "What are you doing?"
Axiu said: "Don't move! What is this?"
After Axiu said this, she stretched out her hand and gently pinched out a long hair from the shoulder of Zhang Yanling's fur coat. She held it up in front of her eyes and looked at the light carefully without saying anything.
Zhang Yanling hurriedly explained: "This should be... the dancer in Mr. Xu's family. Her hair... this... rubbed against her body."
A Xiu nodded and said: "Oh."
Zhang Yanling waited for the next step, but A Xiu was speechless. Zhang Yanling straightened up and said: "Don't think wrongly, I didn't do anything."
Axiu said: "I didn't say what you did. What are you guilty of?"
Zhang Yanling was already a little irritated by today's events, but now Axiu came to bother with these things, and her heart suddenly became angry. She raised her hand and picked up the cup on the table and smashed it to the ground. A Xiu was stunned with the sound of breaking.
He stood there like a frightened bird at a loss.
Xing'er Tao'er heard the sound of the tea cup breaking and poked her head out of the door and asked, "What's wrong? What broke?"
Zhang Yanling shouted: "Get out!"
Xing'er and Tao'er were startled, and quickly shrank their heads and looked at each other, not daring to make any more noise.
Axiu was stunned for a moment, then squatted down and slowly cleaned up the porcelain tiles on the ground. After cleaning up the water-stained tea leaves on the ground, he slowly came to Zhang Yanling and said softly: "Ms. sir, please don't be angry. Axiu... it's just
I'm just kidding you. Axiu never wants to control you, Axiu knows that she is not qualified."
Zhang Yanling breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little regretful in her heart. Even if she was angry, she shouldn't lose her composure. What's the point of scaring her own daughter.
"Axiu, it's my fault. I'm a little upset. Today, I encountered something. It's none of your business. Don't blame me." Zhang Yanling said.
Axiu said softly: "How could I blame you? What happened to my husband? Axiu will help you with some advice."
Zhang Yanling was amused by her words and laughed. In fact, he himself didn't know what was irritating him. But the more he thought about it on the way back, the more something was wrong. He always felt that Xu Yande and Zhang Lun were plotting against him. He started to feel this way early this morning.
It's very strange, as if there is some conspiracy against me. The three young gentlemen have been dating for several months, but they still get together to plot against me. Isn't that because all their previous efforts have been wasted? The more I think about it, the more doubtful I become. But I really have to say it for myself.
He came out, but he couldn't say anything.
"Axiu, it's nothing. Don't worry. I scared you just now. I apologize. I won't do this again in the future." Zhang Yanling took Axiu's hand and said.
Axiu didn't ask any more questions and said softly: "I'll get hot water. You can wipe your face and wash your feet, and then go back to your room to rest. You'll be fine after a good sleep. I used to be like this too. I have something unhappy in my heart."
, just take a nap and you’ll be fine.”
Zhang Yanling nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll do whatever you want."
…
The next morning, when Zhang Yanling was reading in the study, someone from the palace came to greet him, saying that the Queen had invited him to the palace to discuss matters.
Zhang Yanling did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly rode out to the palace. When he arrived at Kunning Palace, he was surprised to find that his brother Zhang Heling was also here. Zhang Yanling was a little worried. The queen called her brothers to discuss the matter, so this matter might be serious.
Not small. Could it be that the Zhou family caused some trouble again?
"My little brother is here, come and sit by the fire, it's very cold outside." Queen Zhang greeted with a smile.
Zhang Yanling studied Queen Zhang's expression and saw no clues. It seemed that nothing bad had happened. Queen Zhang's smile was very bright and she seemed to be in a good mood.
"What did the second sister call me to discuss? What happened?" Zhang Yanling asked quickly after seeing the ceremony.
"A good thing! A great thing! It must be a happy event for you." Empress Zhang said with a smile.
Zhang Heling also laughed and said: "Yes, it's a great joy."
Zhang Yanling said in surprise: "A happy event? Could it be that... the second sister is happy? Will she have multiple little princes or princesses?"
Empress Zhang spat: "What nonsense are you talking about? You bastard. You are so happy there. This mouth is full of nonsense."
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "It turns out not to be the case. Then my sister-in-law is pregnant?"
Zhang Heling scolded: "Apart from being happy, you can't guess anything else? This is your happy event, what does it have to do with us?"
Empress Zhang smiled and said, "That's right, it's your happy event."
Zhang Yanling scratched his head and said: "I don't know about my happy event. Second sister and brother, please don't sell it. Where does the happiness come from?"
Empress Zhang winked and said: "Silly brother, your marriage. The beauty you have been longing for, my sister has decided it for you. Are you happy?"
Zhang Yanling was stunned and said: "My marriage? The beauty I have longed for day and night? Who is that?"
Zhang Heling said: "It's not good to be rude. My second sister and I are here to talk to you about business. Don't you like the little princess in Duke Ding's mansion? My second sister will act as a matchmaker for you. Xu Guangzuo, Duke of Ding, has already agreed to the marriage.
.Congratulations brother, your wish came true."
Empress Zhang laughed and said: "Yes, congratulations to my little brother, your wish has come true. How can I thank you, sister?"
Zhang Yanling was stunned and sat speechless.
Empress Zhang reached out and flicked his forehead and said with a smile: "Silly boy, are you so happy that you are so happy? Why can't you say anything?"
Zhang Yanling breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Second sister, brother, can we discuss this matter in the long term?"
Both Queen Zhang and Zhang Heling were stunned. Queen Zhang said in surprise: "Little monkey, are you really stupid? Xu Wanyi, the little princess of Dingguo Palace, didn't you swear to marry her before? It's true.
, The Duke of Dingguo did reject you before and did some excessive things, but now that they have agreed to the marriage, the matter has been revealed. You are a man, how can you still hold a grudge against this matter? Why bother?
Take some time."
Zhang Yanling was silent and looked ugly.
Empress Zhang lowered her face and said: "Little brother, I don't care. It was I who went to Xu Guangzuo to propose marriage. Xu Guangzuo called back yesterday evening and said he agreed to the marriage. I also reported it to your brother-in-law. The emperor said, this is
It's a good thing. It's a well-matched marriage. I'm going to ask the British Duke Zhang to come forward to protect the match. If you don't agree at this time, wouldn't you have tricked so many people? I don't care about your sister, so I don't care. Xu Guangzuo
What do you think? What does the emperor think? If word spreads, what do people outside think?"
Zhang Yanling frowned and said nothing. He suddenly understood the reason for the strange feeling in his heart yesterday. The three people who invited him to do so many tricks were probably related to this matter.
