The Taohua Fairy suddenly woke up and subconsciously looked around to determine whether it was safe, but the quiet atmosphere immediately reminded her that she was already in the Chu Palace in Huguang.
She suddenly relaxed, squinted her eyes to meet a ray of sunshine in the morning that penetrated through the window, took a deep breath of cool and slightly moist air, and stretched out her bare arms.
The sound of cups and orchestrals at the dinner last night seemed to be still in my ears, and the maid who was vaguely remembered the chat and laughter of noble officials.
The cheerful and lively banquet made people happy, but this peaceful and relaxed morning in front of her made her feel better.
She was lazy in the bed for a while, and she was a little reluctant to feel the warmth and comfortable feeling in the quilt. She liked the faint smell of green salt mixed with spices emitted from the clean quilt.
How many times have I felt tired and worried, I always look forward to the feeling I feel now.
After a while, she finally got up and dressed, then washed up.At this time, the two maids knocked on the door and came in. They saluted the Taohua Fairy first, then took out breakfast from the basket and placed it on the round table outside the warmer pavilion.
The Taohua Fairy said in surprise: I just went to the dining room to eat, why did I deliver it to the room?
Beigong has a special dining room and kitchen, and prepares some meals for three meals a day. Generally, people in the palace eat whatever they do in the kitchen. If someone with a certain identity can send someone to notify the chef in advance to make the meal they want.
This kind of life without worries about food and clothing, even if the slaves who do their own work can enjoy the treatment of food and mouth as long as they do their own work, is a life of immortals that ordinary people in this era cannot help but envy.
The maid said: This is the breakfast prepared by the prince who specially sent someone to call the kitchen. He told Miss Wang (the surname of Taohua Fairy) that after having a meal at peace, she waited for him in the room and wanted to see you later.
OK, I get it.
The peach blossom fairy walked out of the warm pavilion, washed her hands in the copper basin that she had put on the wooden rack, and walked to the table to see with great interest what the breakfast Zhang Ning had prepared for her.
The dishes are simple, only three or four.
The maid said again: The prince said that Miss Wang had been tired for many days, and the dinner last night was so greasy and wine, so she asked the kitchen to make a few light meals to deliver.
The prince is always thinking about the prime minister and the big things, and it is rare to have this idea.
The Peach Blossom Fairy smiled and looked at the bowl of white fungus and date soup, which felt quite innovative. Then she picked up a sharp steamed bun and took a bite. The steamed bun was very beautiful.I don't have much appetite in the morning, but I really want to eat these things when I see them.
The two maids stood aside, and their attitude became more and more respectful.
The Peach Blossom Fairy ate two steamed buns and finished a bowl of tremella and jujube soup.Then he said that he was full, so the maid came up to clean the table.At this moment, Zhang Ning appeared at the door.
He saw two slaves collecting the table and said, "You do other things first, come here to do these things for a while."
Then he said to the Taohua Fairy: I was plagued by everything yesterday, and I was worried about it, but I couldn’t care about it.I wanted to see you early this morning... I should thank you most for this matter. Let Mrs. Yao prepare a family dinner to celebrate your merits on the other day.
The Peach Blossom Fairy smiled: No need, I am a woman, and I am not an important person, so you don’t have to worry about it.
Her eyes looked at Zhang Ning carefully, thinking of the series of conspiracies and deceptions of many people that had just passed not long ago, it was really impossible to see that all the planning came from his heart.
Because Zhang Ning doesn't seem to be a villain at all.
A handsome face with a handsome and heroic facial features, but a restrained expression makes people look gentle and kind, with neatly combed hair, and the gray coat and white lining have a clean and healthy atmosphere, which reminds people of the quilt that was close to each other in the morning, which can make people close to each other without being annoying.
If necessary, what's the point of worrying.
His expression was very sincere. He put down a large wooden box in his arms. I don’t know which of the jewelry I chose for you would suit your wishes. Fortunately, there are many items, and maybe there is one that you can like; I think you will attend a banquet or something, and women always love to wear some jewelry.You don't have to refuse.
The Peach Blossom Fairy didn't speak immediately, so she opened the box in front of her and saw that there were indeed many jewelry including necklaces, earrings, rings, hair accessories, etc. There was actually a layer of gold leaves under the jewelry.
She smiled and said, "Just treat it as the prince rewarding merits, but he is disrespectful."
Zhang Ning said: It’s better to express your feelings and reward merits and actions. It’s better to accept it.
The Taohua Fairy thought to herself: When I was trafficking in private salt, I was fighting for a little bit of gold, silver and money.
Now it's much better, and the money looks very clean on the surface.
No wonder people who study and become officials look down on merchants, they all seek benefits but in different ways.
She pondered for a moment and said: By the way, I have something to tell you.I took all the letter from Luo Mo Niang into the hands of the hawks and the whole thing they were implicated by myself. Luo Mo Niang should also believe that I did it... I thought about it, it would be better for her to blame me.First, I am not that sad, at least I am not the one she trusts to hurt her heart; second, I have no old friendship with Luo Mo Niang, so it doesn’t matter if I complain.
Zhang Ning thought for a while and said: I have to do this and make mistakes.I have been deliberately discredited to her, but now in order to gradually strengthen the relationship with Yang Shiqi, I cannot make mistakes with Miss Luo; if I don’t have to care about these joints in the future, I will be honest with her.
After hearing this, the Peach Blossom Fairy sighed slightly: I think... Miss Luo is a bit pity.
Zhang Ning also said helplessly: I have to do this when I am in my position. I must straighten out the matter and make the overall situation better. Only in this way can all of us have a good ending.You have to believe me.
The Peach Blossom Fairy looked at his expectant eyes and felt relieved. She couldn't help but nodded according to his wishes and said: I believe you.
She paused and said: Also, I met Mr. Zheng yesterday.Regarding Yang Shiqi, Mr. Zheng mentioned one thing: It turns out that Yang Shiqi was able to enter the government because of the recommendation of Mr. Xunzhi (Fang Xiaoru) to the court to revise the record of Taizu. If it were not for Mr. Xunzhi's recommendation, he would not have the chance to enter the government without fame, nor would he have a future for him. Later, Mr. Xunzhi was killed and when the old case was re-proposed during the Hongxi period, Yang Shiqi distorted and slandered Mr. Xunzhi many times... Mr. Zheng was very disgusted with Yang Shiqi's ungrateful actions.
It turns out that Yang Shiqi and the Fang family have this section, which is the first time I heard about.
Zhang Ning frowned and said, "I don't know if Gu Chunhan knows this." Since Zheng Qia told you, she will definitely know it in the future."
The Taohua Fairy said: I risked my life to save him, but I didn't want to be such a person.
Zhang Ning shook his head and said: Zheng Qia hasn't mentioned this for so long, but he just mentioned it at this time, and he told you that I guess he was thinking that you would tell me about this.This is nothing more than the instinctive exclusion and suppression of the literati and officials whom we have won over... There are too many old hatreds and grudges, which is inevitable.But I want to ask you one thing, I can’t even beat you, my personal force is very limited. Why can I defeat tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the court, and why can I fight against countless warriors wearing strong and sharp sages?
Doesn’t the prince have the Suzaku Army in his hands?The Peach Blossom Fairy replied.
Zhang Ning said: It’s almost right. We have to rely on many people standing together to be able to do so.On the surface of the battle formation, the army is fighting against the enemy, but in fact, there is no money, no food, no one can maintain it?Another question is, today there are countless bureaucratic gentry belonging to the "Yàn King" who control the foundation of worldly power. Do we want to divide them into enemy camps and then work hard to eliminate them?What should I do if I catch these people and kill them all?This requires so many people to die and shed blood. The key is that there is no need to die so many people.
He sighed: The hatred of killing his father and the hatred of destroying the country cannot be resolved by just talking easily. No one cares about hatred?But it is necessary to pay an extremely heavy price to take revenge.If you want to kill all these enemies, it will be at least thousands of lives... Then you will lose people's hearts and become more impossible to win the enemy with the world; then we will fail, and the loser will be liquidated again after the Battle of Nanjing in the fourth year of Jianwen. The war to recover justice will turn into treason and rebellion, and will eventually be destroyed.Is this ending really the ending that Jianwen and Yuchen are willing to see?
After hearing this, the Peach Blossom Fairy pondered: I really want to understand what you said.
Zhang Ning said: Now you know why I used any means to pull Yang Shiqi over. It is clear at a glance which is more important than the lives of thousands of people.Some things that are not done by gentlemen must be done by someone... I also think that Yang Shiqi's so-called ungrateful actions are forgiven.During the Hongxi period, he had been in the Yongle Dynasty for more than 20 years, serving the court of the King of Yàn's family, and had to do that when he was in his position.
Fairy Taohua said: But Emperor Hongxi seemed willing to rehabilitate the Fang family, so Yang Shiqi didn't have to do that anymore.
Zhang Ning said: That was just Emperor Hong Xi's idea, it was simply because he was angry with his father for many years and had a temporary rebellion, which had little to do with the court.It is impossible for a person like Yang Shiqi to look at the front of him. He should understand that if he says the wrong thing and stands in the wrong place, it will leave hidden dangers in the future.
The Peach Blossom Fairy sighed quietly: Oh, you so-called people who do big things are really unhappy and think too much.It seems that being a woman is better... I was convinced by you, but Sister Gu probably won't be so easy to forgive Yang Shiqi's actions. When she takes care of her, I will do my best to persuade her.
Zhang Ning hurriedly said kindly: This is the best.We can't stop her from hating Yang Shiqi, but she can't do anything that will end up badly.
She suddenly relaxed, squinted her eyes to meet a ray of sunshine in the morning that penetrated through the window, took a deep breath of cool and slightly moist air, and stretched out her bare arms.
The sound of cups and orchestrals at the dinner last night seemed to be still in my ears, and the maid who was vaguely remembered the chat and laughter of noble officials.
