After the new consort

Looking around this completely quiet house once again, Zhang Shaomin felt a little disappointed. The pride of his youth, his fame in the world, his efforts to help the country, the hard work and glory of the first half of his life are all here, and there is that refreshing man like a new lotus. The figure stayed for a moment. . .But now, I want to leave all this behind and turn around to leave. I have never been appointed as a marquis, and I am already tired of this treacherous temple. . .Forget it, since you have no intention of going to court, why not seal the sword in its sheath when you are at the top of your game, and keep your life safe and free. For the rest of your life, you should live a little easier for yourself!

Cough, you're still in your prime, why are you babbling like an old man!Zhang Shaomin scolded himself secretly, and was about to put away the emotional state of mind when Li Zhaoting's familiar voice behind him laughed:

"What's the matter, brother Shaomin, are you reluctant to part with this house or this crown? Long live is waiting for your prodigal son to return."

"With Brother Zhao Ting as your company, what else can you be reluctant to do?" Zhang Shaomin quickly adjusted his mood to meet Li Zhaoting and Feng Suzhen who had come to join him, and used a few words of ridicule to dilute the tension in the courtyard.

"Brother Shaomin, in a few days the north will be extremely cold in winter, which will not be good for your old knee injury, but in the south it will be a breezy autumn. Brother Changying wrote to say that it is very pleasant to pick fruits and enjoy flowers every day, and to pour tea on chess, but you don't want to." , we also want to force you to play together.” Following Feng Suzhen’s calm comfort, Zhang Shaomin’s heart was slightly excited for the upcoming journey, and at the same time, he was once again grateful for Feng Suzhen’s thoughtfulness.This person is like this, he doesn't point out or expose, but he can always solve your distress and embarrassment just right. In such help again and again, I unconsciously regard her as my confidant, even if all the limelight is covered by her. That year, the proud horseshoe covered her and she never felt any resentment, even though she became a son-in-law. . .

Heh, still thinking about what to do, Zhang Shaomin shook his head hard to get rid of this thought that shouldn't come up again, and said, "Brother Changying is really cool! Just listening to Brother Feng say this-oh, look at me Wrong call again, I have been used to it for many years, Miss Feng forgive me."

"After all, I'm still wearing men's clothes along the way. I think it's okay for you to change the name a few days later." After Zhang Shaomin apologized with a smile, Feng Suzhen felt a little confused, Miss Feng?How long has it been since I heard such a title, so long ago that when I realized that I was addressing myself, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Hearing "men's clothing", Zhang Shaomin looked sideways at Feng Suzhen, then patted his head in a self-deprecating manner and said, "I'm really ashamed to say that she is a peerless beauty with a beautiful face. We are ministers of the same court and see each other every day, but we are so confused." It's ridiculously stupid to not notice for three years."

"The son-in-law is a woman, and even the princess can hide it. You two stupid people who only know the world all day long, how can you tell!" A blunt criticism sounded unceremoniously, just like the person who appeared at the door at this moment. He is as imposing as a person.

Heavenly fragrance!

The expressions in the eyes of each other were different, but the three of them were stunned for a moment at the same time, and then they all bowed down and saluted: "The grass people see the eldest princess."

As soon as the sound of kneeling came out, Tianxiang rolled her eyes impatiently, walked into the yard and said, "Get up, when did the three of you become such mothers-in-law?"

"The new emperor is on the throne for the first time, and there is a lot of waste waiting to be done. Naturally, the etiquette is more considerate and appropriate. The eldest princess is here at this time. Is there something going on?" Zhang Shaomin, the host, got up and asked the doubts in the hearts of the three people.

"Zhang Shaomin, if you continue to speak bureaucratically, be careful that I'll knock you out with a sugar cane! What? Do you think I'm delaying your trip at this time? You're really ignorant. The two of them are flying like wings to each other. Don't you think it's an eyesore if you follow along? ?”

Zhang Shaomin shook his head and was about to speak, but Tianxiang didn't even look at him, and suddenly turned to the other side and said, "Feng Suzhen, it's such a big deal to leave Beijing, why don't you see your father?"

As soon as Tianxiang opened her mouth, the words "Even the princess can hide it" were nailed into Feng Suzhen's mind, and once again aroused the deepest and possibly the only guilt in this life - cheating Tianxiang, delaying Tianxiang, the whole person instantly Falling into self-blame and having no time for him, he didn't hear a word of the subsequent conversation, until Tianxiang suddenly called her name, Rumeng Fangxing hurriedly responded: "My father...? Ah, father said he There is an old man in Beijing who wants to say goodbye, let us go first, and he will come later.”

"Since he's arriving later, why don't you wait for him in Beijing for two days? Even if you're in a hurry to have a good time, you don't care if it's a day or two late? Or is it that you hate this capital city so much that you can't stay any longer?"

The three of them were a little puzzled by Tianxiang's sudden anger, and Feng Suzhen, who came back to his senses, was even more surprised why he suddenly mentioned Master Feng, and looked at Tianxiang who was a little impatient, as if he didn't understand the sarcasm in her question, Habitually responded with a comforting smile and said: "We originally had to wait for Dad to say goodbye and set off together, but Dad refused many times. I saw him look like he didn't want us to know about some private matters, so we made an appointment to wait in Qingzhou. He is not far from the capital, and we will go south together when the time comes."

"Then I'm afraid you won't be able to wait!" Tianxiang threw out these words coldly, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Feng Suzhen's face turned pale instantly, her brows were knit together, her mouth was slightly opened but she didn't ask anything, a pair of familiar eyes It's full of surprises.I couldn't help but sighed and continued: "Yesterday I was strolling past Fengyaju, and I saw a person huddled by the wall, who looked familiar, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be old man Feng, who seemed to have suffered some emergency and was trying to endure it. I was just about to help him up, but he passed out when he saw me for some reason—"

"What's wrong with my dad?! Where is he now?" Before Tianxiang finished speaking, Feng Suzhen, who was concerned and confused, blurted out

Looking at Feng Suzhen's reddened eyes, Tianxiang suddenly couldn't bear it, and her tone slowed down unknowingly: "You don't have to worry too much, since I met you, of course, in my house, the imperial doctor has already seen it, and said what happened suddenly?" Heart palpitations, and these days I will faint when I am a little tired, I will take the medicine to rest for a while, and it will not be a serious problem."

After receiving this reassurance, Feng Suzhen returned to her senses and gradually recovered her normal thinking ability. Her father fainted on the road alone, and she herself who was also in the capital was so confused that she didn't know anything. If she hadn't happened to meet——

"Thank you, Eldest Princess, for saving me." Feng Suzhen saluted Tianxiang solemnly, not knowing how to express her gratitude. Tianxiang saved her father again, and of course, she also saved herself, freeing herself from self-blame The precipice of unfilial piety and lifelong regret was pulled back, "Such a great kindness, Suzhen will never forget it."

Faced with such a sudden and solemn kneeling, Tian Xiang was a little panicked, took a step back and said: "You——!"

Before finishing speaking, Li Zhaoting on the side suddenly knelt down with Feng Suzhen, and repeated his gratitude to "Thank you, princess". The name is wrong? If you really want to thank me, don't bother me with the eldest princess!"

In the silence, Zhang Shaomin coughed at the right time. Following the sound, Tianxiang caught Zhang Shaomin's pleading eyes and the two stone-like solid figures on the ground, and said again with a cold snort: "I'm afraid you can't fly together now. , If you have time to kneel here in a daze, why don't you get up early and see what to do next, you don't mind wasting time, I'm still waiting to go back to the palace."

"Tianxiang is right, the two of you should hurry up and discuss the next step together." Zhang Shaomin hurriedly picked up the voice, and seeing the two get up slowly, he continued: "Since Uncle is ill, Brother Feng will naturally have to serve the left and right sides. Brother Ting should also go with him, but Brother Changying has been preparing for many days, so it’s not good to make him wait for nothing—” At this point, the only suitable solution was about to come out, Zhang Shaomin glanced at Tianxiang again, and continued: "I don't think it's better for me to go south first. First, I will explain the situation in Beijing to brother Changying. Second, I can also get familiar with the environment in the south of the Yangtze River. It will be smoother when you are ready. What do you two agree?"

"Zhang Shaomin, you are so ungrateful!" Before the two people who were asked could express their opinions, Tianxiang who was on the side had already asked.

Hearing this sentence, the three of them looked at Tianxiang at the same time. Under the gaze of the three puzzled eyes, Tianxiang continued: "You also said that the imperial brother has just ascended the throne, and the court is in a mess, so you are in such a hurry to get out of here. Have a good time, he treats you well, right? Helping him stabilize the court will delay your time for a few months?"

Unexpectedly, Tianxiang would ask to stay, Zhang Shaomin had mixed feelings in his heart, and said blankly: "I naturally know the situation in the court and China. When I resigned, I have already offered a governance strategy to Long Live. I think your Majesty is wise, and the court will not be difficult to stabilize. , not to mention that His Majesty has allowed me to resign and return to the farm—”

"At that time, you were going to go south together, and you both made great contributions to the imperial court. Could it be that the emperor can forcefully detain you? But since the situation has changed now, it's another matter."

"Because the situation has changed, someone needs to inform Brother Changying. Besides, since Brother Feng and Brother Li are staying in Beijing for the time being, and both of them are far above me in talent and learning, even if they don't serve in the imperial court, they can share your majesty's worries. Tianxiang, you don't have to worry." Zhang Shaomin secretly wondered while explaining, what is Tianxiang here for?
