Drunk Bamboo

In the morning, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle, and everything seemed normal.

After the court session, Hua Qinfeng went to the Eastern Palace with Zhang Xinghe.

"Not only did the prince prepare a fruit basket for His Majesty, but he also brought one for the little prince?"

Zhang Xinghe glanced at the fruit basket in Chaoyang's hand and was a little curious.

Just now, a fruit basket was handed to Eunuch Dong, which was naturally prepared for His Majesty.

The prince did not have this custom of giving gifts before.

"This is what the princess prepared."

Chaoyang’s answer was not surprising at all.

"What's the meaning of sending an umbrella?" Zhang Xinghe felt strange.

Chaoyang didn't answer because he didn't know either.

Hua Qinfeng said calmly: "Someone asked me to give it to your sister Zhang Hansu."

Zhang Xinghe paused, turned around, and asked seriously, "Male or female?"

"Care about her? Just ask her yourself." Hua Qinfeng glanced at him, didn't answer, walked around him and walked forward.

care?

He is not qualified.

Zhang Xinghe stopped asking questions and changed the subject:

"Although the prince is upright, it is better for him to go to the East Palace less often."

Hua Qinfeng has no time to take care of Zhang Xinghe's family affairs.

He just said, "I heard that Lin'er is unhappy. Yuzhu has a kind heart, so I came to see him on her behalf."

"Isn't it because the Queen summoned the Princess and said something?"

Hua Qinfeng was not surprised that Zhang Xinghe guessed this.

"You all know that the Queen Mother has summoned Yuzhu to the palace, and my father must know that too. If I don't go, it would seem that I am deliberately avoiding suspicion. If I go openly like this, my father won't be suspicious and may even think that Yuzhu and I are loyal to each other."

He said it lightly, but Zhang Xinghe thought about it for a while after hearing it.

I think it makes sense.

Zhang Xinghe nodded: "The two fruit baskets prepared by the princess seem to have thought of this a long time ago."

"Of course." Hua Qinfeng was not modest at all.

After walking for a while, Zhang Xinghe spoke:

"Grandfather caught a cold last night and will not be able to teach in the next few days. Your Highness, please do not come to the mansion."

"Have you caught a cold? Has the imperial physician examined you?" Hua Qinfeng asked hurriedly.

"The doctor has checked..." Zhang Xinghe had consulted a doctor last night, who said there was nothing wrong with him.

Before he finished speaking, Hua Qinfeng could only hear him angrily:

"What's the use of a doctor? You know that the master has a heart disease! How can you be so careless?"

Zhang Xinghe was stunned.

Seeing that he didn't know what to say and knowing that he was busy recently, Hua Qinfeng decided not to count on him anymore.

So he said, "It's better to ask the imperial physician to take a look. After seeing Lin'er, I'll go to the pharmacy and ask Qi Zhen to go to the mansion with me to check the pulse of the master."

He added: "Just do your thing."

Zhang Xinghe came back to his senses, and a warm feeling came over his chest: "...Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this time in Baoping Palace, the emperor and Luo Yuan were talking about the prince.

"When will the prince arrive in Zhongdu?"

"There are still two days. In addition to the prince, there are also accountants, supervisors and others involved. The project will take a long time and involve many things. There are two carts of account books and materials, so the pace will be slower than usual."

Luo Yuan answered the emperor's questions cautiously.

"It took only two days for the Wind Prince to return to Zhongdu from Loushan, but it's been ten days since the Crown Prince arrived. Let alone other things, just this point alone makes him inferior to the Wind Prince."

The emperor gasped in anger.

Seeing this, Eunuch Dong hurriedly brought over the fruit basket.

"Your Majesty, this is the fresh fruit that King Feng just sent. He said it was prepared by the princess."

"Where's Feng'er?" The emperor softened his tone.

"I heard that the little prince was not feeling well, so the prince went to see him."

When he heard that his grandson was ill, his anger immediately subsided: "Let Gao Fengyu go and take a look. Lin'er is my only grandson, and nothing can go wrong with him."

"Yes."

"Feng'er, the emperor's uncle, has done a very competent job." The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

……

As soon as Hua Qinfeng stepped into the East Palace, Hua Jinlin threw himself into his arms.

"Third uncle, you finally came to see me!"

"They all said that my father embezzled the money for the dam construction and that the emperor was very angry. Is that true? The emperor hasn't come to see me for a long time..."

Hua Qinfeng wanted to avoid it, but when he saw Hua Jinlin's tears and red face, he felt a little reluctant.

"Do you believe it?" Hua Qinfeng squatted down.

"I don't believe it, my father would never do such a thing!" He shook his head, his eyes red.

“Lin'er, you have been learning from Tutor Zhang since you were six years old, and now you are learning horse riding and archery from me. You have grown up and should have your own ideas and the ability to distinguish right from wrong. No matter what outsiders say, just be firm in what you believe in and don't be disturbed by the outside world. You are the crown prince, and what you have to do now is to go to class with Master Zhang.” Hua Qinfeng comforted him patiently, lifting his sleeves to wipe the tears from the little face.

"Don't let them see your tears."

Zhang Xinghe and Chaoyang were stunned for a moment.

"Well, I won't cry. I will study hard and I believe in my father!" Hua Jinlin nodded suddenly, and there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Hua Qinfeng stretched out his hand and placed the fruit basket in front of him, and the sweet smell of fruit immediately filled his body.

"Your Third Aunt asked me to bring you some fruit. You must eat it all. Don't waste it." As he said this, he patted Hua Jinlin on the shoulder.

"Yeah." Hua Jinlin nodded obediently and finally smiled.

Zhang Xinghe took Hua Jinlin to class, while Hua Qinfeng went to find Zhang Hansu.

"Yuzhu asked me to ask you for some Flower God Incense. The amount doesn't need to be much, and it's best not to let anyone else know about it except you." Hua Qinfeng said bluntly.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment." Zhang Hansu didn't say much.

After a while, she came back and handed him an exquisite sachet.

"This is your Highness's scent bag, which contains the Flower God Incense."

"Why don't you ask a few more questions?" Hua Qinfeng asked.

"The princess once asked the crown princess about the origin of the fragrance. Although the crown princess explained it, I think the princess is still worried and wants to check it herself." Zhang Hansu answered calmly.

"No one noticed that a sachet was missing?"

"Everything your Highness wore is recorded. If anything is missing, someone will find it. But your Highness lost this sachet half a year ago."

half year ago?

Zhang Hansu had been prepared for this? !

"Do you also think there is a problem?" Hua Qinfeng asked bluntly.

"I've checked it, no problem." Zhang Hansu still had a blank expression on his face, looking cold and expressionless, with no discernible emotion.

Hua Qinfeng really couldn't get anything out of him, so the mission was completed and it was time to leave.

"Okay, leave it to me. I'll tell you if there's any problem."

"Thank you, Your Majesty and Princess." Zhang Hansu bowed.

"By the way, this umbrella was given to you by Liu Ziwang. I brought it with me."

Hua Qinfeng, who was about to leave, turned back and threw an umbrella over, which fell directly into her arms.

"Your Highness, this..." The expression on Zhang Hansu's face finally changed.

Somewhat at a loss.

"This umbrella is great, it's one of a kind in the world, and not everyone can make it."

Hua Qinfeng waved his hand without turning back, not giving Zhang Hansu a chance to refuse.

The two tasks that Xie Yuzhu gave him were finally completed!
