Private message...
Even though Zhu Ying was generous, she still couldn't help looking around for a moment, fearing that someone was hiding in the shadows and eavesdropping. When she turned around, her face turned slightly red and she said unhappily, "If you have something inappropriate for others to hear, couldn't you tell me first in Qing'an Hall? In an open place like this, who knows if someone would have heard it."
"How could it be? This is your house." Zhang Shou said this as a matter of course, and then he told her everything that happened in Tingyu Cottage today. Although he was sure that Zhu Ying would not have any misunderstandings due to other people's gossip, some things could be made clear immediately, so don't drag it out, otherwise it would be unnecessary to create any estrangement in the future.
Sure enough, when he finished speaking, Zhu Ying smiled with her eyes curved, "I knew you went there differently from others! When I saw you upstairs today, Yongping heard you said you went to Tingyu Cottage and he mocked me, but I just said a few words and he choked me back! You have always been honest and frank, and you never lie to me!"
Uh… Actually, I’m not that honest. I can be honest about this matter, but I still have some secrets…
Zhang Shou felt that Zhu Ying's trust was indeed quite heavy. After a moment of silence, he asked with a smile: "So, what results did you get from your tea party in Yangzhou Teahouse today?"
Zhu Ying had no big objection to the idea of a boudoir tea party, and even raised her eyebrows happily: "Of course! They all saw you today. Except for Yongping, who had bad intentions, everyone else said that you are good-looking, have a good personality, a good voice, and everything else. They all said that I am blessed and have good taste!"
Zhang Shou was immediately in tears and laughter. However, after being with Zhu Ying for a long time, his skin had grown beyond the limit, so he asked nonchalantly: "This can only be regarded as your unexpected gain, right? What about the business you were supposed to do?"
"Well... there's a long way to go." Zhu Ying's eyes were vague and evasive at first, but when she saw Zhang Shou looking straight at her, she smiled and said, "Of course I won't forget! I can tell you..."
She looked around again for a moment, and in a very low voice, she quietly told Zhang Shou what Princess Deyang said about Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu. Seeing him frowning thoughtfully, she couldn't help but want to reach out and smooth out the small mark, and her eyes couldn't help but look a little strange. It wasn't until Zhang Shou coughed that she came back to her senses, and quickly retracted her too direct gaze and moved to the black shadow on the side.
"We have almost done what we have done. You might as well go see the emperor and tell him half true and half false." Zhang Shou did not mention Zhang Chen's stupid words about marrying Princess Yongping. He said calmly, "Didn't you say that Princess Qingning's marriage was arranged by her begging the emperor, and she and the emperor chose the girl together? Why not do it again?"
"The emperor hopes that the prince will marry a well-educated and well-mannered wife, and at the same time hopes that the future daughter-in-law's family will not be too ambitious; he hopes that the princess will marry a family that he knows well, and that the future son-in-law will have the grace and generosity of a noble family... These rumors in the palace have spread outside."
