Zhan Zhao looked at the crimson shirt on the platter, and felt a faint pain between his brows.It's just that Xiang Ling didn't notice it, she was still chatting excitedly around Zhan Zhao.

"Lord Zhan, just put it on for us to open our eyes. His Majesty specially asked Jin Yisi to make it. I heard that it is the Taixiao Pavilion Su brocade from the Royal Tribute. It is usually only provided to the nobles in the palace. It is very precious." As she said that, Xiang Ling touched the face of the clothes a few times, feeling the softness of the fabric, and then pushed the plate in front of Zhan Zhao for his inspection.Whoever thought about it was avoided by Zhan Zhao with a wave of his hand.

"Because of this, Zhan is not blessed to enjoy it. Your Majesty has broken the rules of the palace."

Xiangling pursed her mouth, and said indifferently: "There are no rules or rules. Rules are made by people. His Majesty attaches great importance to Mr. Zhan, so what's the point of breaking a small rule for you now and then? Let me tell you, Mr. Zhan You are too determined, looking young, sometimes you are as stubborn as a seventy-eighty old-fashioned old man."

Zhan Zhao was so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry, and was about to explain a few words, but he heard a "well said" applause from outside the door.Then Zhao Zhen led Xue Liang in.Everyone hurriedly knelt down to receive the driver and salute, Zhao Zhen casually said something flat, helped Zhan Zhao up, and complained: "You really don't have a long memory, didn't I tell you a long time ago, in this bamboo Yixuan doesn't need to behave like a ruler and his ministers, it's just a matter of bowing to each other when meeting each other. You haven't taken care of yourself yet."

Although it was a complaining tone, it revealed a sense of caring.Xiang Ling snickered and grinned when she heard this, but Zhao Zhen found out that she tapped her forehead with a golden dragon fan as a warning.The little girl was also bold, she stuck out her clove tongue and made a face at Zhao Zhen, maybe because she had served in Funing Palace and knew Zhao Zhen's gentle temperament, Xiangling was not afraid of Zhao Zhen's blame at all.

Compared with Zhao Zhen's expression of helplessness, Xue Liang glared at Xiang Ling, and sent off: "Go, go, ask Qiaoer, is the food ready? Your Majesty has approved the memorials for two hours in succession, and I'm tired." gone."

"Don't be in a hurry to eat." Turning around, pointing to the chessboard in the room with a folding fan, he said to Zhan Zhao: "How about Zhan Zhao, do you want to talk about a game?"

Zhan Zhaowei wondered: "Your Majesty knows that I am a rough man. Although I can play two hands, I am not strong in chess. I heard that the Empress is proficient in chess. Why don't Your Majesty go to the Hall of Ciyuan from time to time?"

Hearing that Zhan Zhao also let him go to the Queen's Palace, Zhao Zhen felt a little unhappy, thinking that some gossip must have reached the ears of this Linglong thoughtful person, so he started to avoid suspicion.But he can't say that he doesn't like playing chess, but likes being tired of being with you.With a flash of thought, Zhao Zhen smiled wryly and said: "The Queen's chess strength is high, but it's too high. Every time I kill me, I don't bother to be conceded. After a long time, I don't feel like playing chess at all. Is your chess strength bad?" High, but I am not high, we are evenly matched, and there is suspense when we win or lose, that's fun, isn't it? How do you show up as a guard, do you dislike me for coming to Zhuyixuan too frequently these days?"

Of course Zhan Zhao wanted to say yes in his heart, but he always wanted to show Zhao Zhen a little bit of disrespect. "I don't dare. I just don't want to cause unnecessary trouble to Your Majesty. After all, Your Majesty has already made an exception to let Zhan Zhao stay in the palace to recuperate. I am already ashamed of such kindness. If there are more, I am afraid that I will not think so." report."

"So you even refused the ready-made clothes sent by the Department of Jinyi?" Zhao Zhen's heart warmed, he took Zhan Zhao's hand, walked to both sides of the chessboard and sat down. "Did you forget the azure blue brocade you wore at the Dragon Boat Festival? The clothes are luxurious, but they don't fit so well. The person you wear doesn't feel ashamed, but my face has been slapped. You know the whole Bianliang knows that you are my savior, but I can't even afford you a decent dress to keep you in the palace, how do you tell the world to treat Yu?"

Zhan Zhao blushed slightly.It was announced that day, time was tight, and I was only anxious to find a decent piece of clothing that I could wear, so I didn't care about the fit or not. It was so inappropriate to be seen by the Khitan mission. No wonder the emperor ordered Jinyi to make clothes for him. .Since the emperor wants face, let's give it a step down. "Since it's His Majesty's wish, I don't want to go against the holy will. I accept the clothes. But I still have a request, and I beg your Majesty to agree to it."

"This is rare. Usually, I seldom listen to any requests from guard Zhan. For a while, I thought you were a cow." Zhao Zhen joked with a laugh.

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "What do you mean? I'm not a cow."

Xiang Ling, who was packing her clothes, let out a chuckle, and interjected, "Your Majesty means that cows eat grass and are milked. Master Zhan, you are quite like a cow."

The room suddenly burst into laughter, Zhan Zhao was laughed at by everyone, and his face became more and more embarrassing.Seeing this, Zhao Zhen was afraid that the trouble would be too much to annoy him, so he hurriedly smoothed things over and drove out all the servants, and then comforted Zhan Zhao: "Don't pay attention to those guys, they are spoiled by me, and there is no restraint." .”

Zhan Zhao couldn't help complaining in his heart: You were the one who made fun of me, but now you're blaming someone else.

"Okay, just tell me what you want, as long as I can do it, I will definitely promise."

Zhan Zhao said sternly: "Instead of letting the Jinyi Department make some officials not to wear in the palace, your majesty, why not make two sets of official uniforms for the humble ministers."

Of course, Zhan Zhao didn't know that Zhao Zhen deliberately suppressed people from giving him an official uniform.The reason is that I don't want that scarlet body to remind the people in front of me that monarchs and ministers are different.He just wanted that he could simply treat him as a person, a friend, and treat him with the usual attitude when he treats friends, and there is no taboo in getting close.Even if he occasionally contradicts him casually, it will make him jump for joy.It's just that now that Zhan Zhao has proposed it so formally, he has no reason to refuse it, and it can be delayed for a while.

"I understand. Can you play a game with me now?"

"Please, Your Majesty!"

As he spoke, Zhan Zhao grabbed a handful of sunspots, placed them on the chessboard, and asked Zhao Zhen to guess.Zhao Zhen guessed the single, but it was double, so Zhan Zhao went first with the black.Zhan Zhao was not too polite, and quickly set up the battle situation.Or dismantle, or block, or fly, or break, two people come and go and fight fiercely with chess.Seeing that the game was about to end, Zhao Zhen said in a nonchalant manner: "The queen's birthday will be in a few days. In previous years, I was a bit sloppy. I want to make a big deal this time. When the time comes, you can also attend the guard."

"According to the order."

Just after the Dragon Boat Festival, the palace is busy again. To celebrate the birthday of Empress Guo Qingwu on May [-]th, Tao Li Nianhua, Zhao Zhen ordered a large-scale arrangement in the palace out of guilt for her, which also eased the temporarily tense relationship between the empress and empress. .

Yelv Zongche naturally received the invitation and led a delegation to the banquet.The young man in purple thought it was very interesting, so he pretended to be Yelv Zongche's personal attendant and followed him into the palace.

In addition to the royal family members, many wives of officials above the third rank also attended this time.When the banquet was not open, people were walking around, which was very lively.Zhan Zhao also finally met the long-lost Bao Zheng under the banquet.Bao Zheng was very excited when he saw Zhan Zhao, he took his hand and looked at it for a long time, but he choked up and said "thinner".The passage of time made him regard Zhan Zhao as his nephew. When he thought that the young man standing in front of him intact at this moment was completely snatched back from the God of Death regardless of the objections of his officials, Bao Zheng He is full of gratitude to His Majesty Zhao Zhen.

Originally, if the rank was not high enough, there would be no official seat, but Zhan Zhao was promoted to the third rank by Zhao Zhen because of his meritorious service in saving the car, so he also had a place at the birthday banquet.But he didn't take his own seat, but squeezed to Bao Zheng's place to talk about the old days, so among the elders in purple official clothes, there was a handsome young man in purple clothes, which was very eye-catching, and also attracted the attention of a group of female relatives.Especially Zhan Zhao's intimacy towards Bao Zheng made Zhao Zhen, who was on the dragon seat, very jealous, and glanced in the direction of the two of them from time to time.

Because Yelv Zongche set up a seat close to him, he saw everything in his eyes, and found it even more interesting because of the subtlety.He rubbed his chin and couldn't help laughing, which attracted the attention of the young man who was trying to steal food.The young man said in distaste: "Chiju, do you know that you are disgusting when you laugh like this? Every time you make such a laugh, it is a sign of hooliganism." That's why people call him that.

Yelu Zongche smiled, and secretly stuffed a chicken leg into the boy. "You can't stop your mouth if you have something to eat, Xiao Qi, don't forget what you came to the palace for."

"What are you doing? Didn't you just come here to grab a meal!..." Before he could finish speaking, Yelu Zongche gave him a slap in the face.Xiao Qi pouted and said, "Okay, I'm here to join in the fun and watch a good show. But what about the good show you're talking about? If the show doesn't start, I'm going to slap my ass and leave after eating."

Yelu Zongche glanced at the late Empress Dowager Liu who was looking in the direction of Zhan Zhao without any trace, and a trace of coldness flashed across her eyes.Yeluzong joked with a smirk: "Don't worry, it's not bad as I expected, the show will start soon."

Zhao Zhen got up to greet the queen mother and sat down. Queen Guo, who was the birthday star this time, did not dare to neglect, and hurried to the queen mother's side to say hello.After accepting the concubines and ministers' salutes, the queen mother seemed to casually look in the direction of Zhan Zhao, wondering: "Is the official uniform of Zhan Zhao's guards not ready yet? Queen, it seems that Aijia, the director of Jinyi Department, should be changed, really. It's outrageous. Although you are a generous person, you can't blindly whitewash the affairs of the harem."

Guo Hou replied: "I understand." Then he ordered the palace people around him to send a message to Jin Yisi.Leaning a little, I saw the director of Jinyi Department tremblingly holding a vermilion official uniform into the hall.Before he could kneel and kowtow, he was led to the side hall, and then Guo Hou ordered someone to send a message to Zhan Zhao to enter the side hall to change clothes.Zhan Zhao knew that his clothes did not match the etiquette, so he went there according to the order.

Entering the Depian Hall, the director of the Jinyi Department who delivered the clothes apologized repeatedly, and after seeing Zhan Zhao took the clothes, he left on his own accord.Seeing that there was no one else around, Zhan Zhao changed his clothes with wide bands. Just as he took off his obscene clothes, he heard the palace door being pushed open with a creak, and a woman dressed like an official lady walked in slowly.

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, then quickly unfolded it with a shake, and put on the official uniform.The woman was very excited when she saw Zhan Zhao, she jumped in front of Zhan Zhao and held his hand tightly and said excitedly, "Lord Zhan, I finally see you again. When you traveled with His Majesty, Qiuxia was very worried. , God finally opened his eyes, and you came back intact."

Zhan Zhao gently broke away from the woman's hand, and said embarrassingly: "Miss, men and women are not clear about what to do and what to accept. Zhan does not dare to harm Miss's reputation, and asks Miss to leave immediately."

"Lord Zhan, I am not suspicious. I am Shang Qiuxia, the fourth sister of Shang Chongyi, and my father is Shangde, the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is really a destiny for you and me to meet Master Zhan here. Master Zhan, do you know? Xia admired you for a long time, and always wanted to tell you personally..."

"Miss Shang loves so much, Zhan doesn't dare to accept it. Zhan Zhao is a martial artist, he really isn't good enough for Miss, so please ask Miss..." Before Zhan Zhao could finish speaking, Shang Qiuxia rushed forward and hugged Zhan tightly. Zhao, said directly: "Master Zhan, I don't care, what I like is you, even if you are just a guard, I still like you, Master Zhan... Master Zhan..."

Zhan Zhao wanted to get rid of it, but he couldn't do it because he was concerned about the difference between men and women. Later, Shang Qiuxia caught the gap and threw Zhan Zhao to the ground.Zhan Zhao's back hurt from being hit, and he was about to yell at him.At this time, the palace gate opened again, and Shang Chongyi appeared at the door dumbfounded, and then a scream resounded through the palace.

"Zhan Zhao, what are you going to do to my fourth sister?!"

The author has something to say: In the second update in June, I originally wanted to add some emotional drama between the two, but after thinking about it, let’s speed up the plot.The last design is really old-fashioned, and I feel boring.
