After traveling through time, I married a male princess

The next morning, Zhang Hengyu came to the palace early.

His father did not tell him what time King Yan wanted him to come, so he had to come and wait early in the morning.

"Brother Changyuan!" Cheng Yu arrived at the palace early in the morning and saw someone he hadn't seen for a long time. He ran up to him happily.

"Zi Yao." Zhang Hengyu turned around and greeted him with a smile as always.

"You came!"

"Hmm." Zhang Hengyu paused, "Is Ziyao working in the palace now?"

"Ah, yes." Cheng Yu scratched his head, "Working beside the young master."

"Young Master?" Zhang Hengyu narrowed his eyes. There is a young master in the palace?

"Oh, it's the princess, but we all call him Master." Cheng Yu replied.

"I see." Zhang Hengyu relaxed his brows and replied with a smile.

"Okay! Come on, I'll take you in." Cheng Yu was very happy.

"Thank you, Ziyao." Zhang Hengyu smiled.

"Manager Cheng." The gatekeeper greeted Cheng Yu.

"Oh, Ziyao has become the manager." Zhang Hengyu teased him.

"Well, they insist on shouting like that." Cheng Yu waved his hand indifferently.

Zhang Hengyu followed Cheng Yu with eyes full of doting.

Cheng Yu couldn't see the love in Zhang Hengyu's eyes, but Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun saw it clearly.

Entering the study, Cheng Yu introduced them, "Your Highness, this is my classmate. His surname is Zhang, his name is Hengyu, and his courtesy name is Changyuan. He is the son of County Magistrate Zhang."

"Greetings, Prince Yan, and greetings, Young Master." Zhang Hengyu stepped forward and saluted.

Ye Yanxing nodded, "Mr. Zhang, I called you here this time because I want to discuss something with you."

"Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."

"Would you like to work with me?"

Zhang Hengyu thought about it. If he did something with Prince Yan, he would be on Prince Yan's side. Would Prince Yan or outsiders think that his father was also on Prince Yan's side?

Who does his father support? He doesn't know.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Heng is of course willing. It is Heng's honor to work with Your Majesty, but..." Zhang Hengyu stopped here. He believed that King Yan could understand.

"It's okay. Just think about it. If you are willing, come to me tomorrow. If not, forget it." Ye Yanxing did not let him answer immediately.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhang Hengyu bowed.

Zhang Hengyu left and Cheng Yu went to see him off.

"Madam, what do you think of Zhang Hengyu?" Ye Yanxing poured a cup of tea for Fu Qianrun.

"He's not a bad person, but he's quite cunning." Fu Qianrun commented, "If we can subdue him, he'll be a useful talent."

"Madam is amazing." Ye Yanxing praised.

Fu Qianrun glanced at him lightly, and that look seemed to say that what he was saying was nonsense.

Ye Yanxing lowered his head, pretending not to see.

Fu Qianrun, "......"

As for Zhang Hengyu, as soon as he got home, he went to the study to find his father.

"Father." Zhang Hengyu stood outside the study and knocked on the door.

"Come in." The voice of the county magistrate came from the study.

Zhang Hengyu pushed the door open and went in.

"Are you back? What does the prince want to see you about?" County Magistrate Zhang asked without raising his head.

"Father, the prince asked me to follow him and work." Zhang Hengyu sat down on the stool.

County Magistrate Zhang raised his head and asked, "You agree?"

"No, he asked me to come back and think about it. If I agree, I will go to his house tomorrow to see him."

"What if you don't agree?"

"If the prince says he won't agree, forget it."

"What do you mean?" Magistrate Zhang asked him.

"I think," Zhang Hengyu sat up straight, "I think it's feasible."

"Are you sure? You should know what this means." County Magistrate Zhang looked at his son.

"Of course! Putting aside the relationship between him and the emperor, I think Prince Yan is a good choice for now. Besides, isn't he the one who has the final say in the entire Yizhou?"

Magistrate Zhang was silent. The entire Yizhou was under the jurisdiction of Prince Yan, but the entire world still belonged to the emperor!

Then he sighed, "Old man, make your own decision! Whether it is good or bad in the future, I hope you will not regret your choice today."

Zhang Hengyu stood up and answered Zhang Junshou solemnly, "Father, I have no regrets."

Magistrate Zhang waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

"I'll take my leave now." Zhang Hengyu bowed and turned to leave the study.

The next day, Zhang Hengyu arrived at the palace gate early in the morning again.

But today, Cheng Yu didn't need to lead the way. As soon as the gatekeeper saw him, he let him in. It was obvious that someone had given the order.

There were only Ye Yanxing and Zhang Hengyu in the study room. Fu Qianrun took Cheng Yu out.

"Have you thought it through?" Ye Yanxing asked him.

"Your Highness, I have made up my mind." Zhang Hengyu bowed to Ye Yanxing.

"I want absolute loyalty. If there is even the slightest betrayal, you will die without a burial place! Do you regret it?"

"not regret."

Ye Yanxing looked at Zhang Hengyu's lowered head and suddenly smiled, "For Cheng Yu? There's no need to do that. I won't do anything to him."

Zhang Hengyu raised his head quickly, "Prince?"

“There are three things in this world that cannot be hidden.”

"Which three?"

"Poverty, cough, and love." Ye Yanxing spoke slowly.

Zhang Hengyu repeated it in a low voice and laughed. Yes, these things cannot be hidden no matter what, but why can't Zi Yao see them?

"Zi Yao is one of the reasons, but the most important reason is that I believe in the prince." Zhang Hengyu stood up straight and looked directly at Ye Yanxing.

Ye Yanxing did not comment, "I don't want to know the reason, just don't have any second thoughts in the future."

"I swear to follow the prince until death." Zhang Hengyu lifted his robe and knelt down.

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Master."

"Actually, I didn't ask you to come here to risk everything. You don't need to be so nervous, but I will only feel at ease if you become one of my own."

"Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."

"I want to start a newspaper. The main purpose of the newspaper is to convey various news to the people, but it can also publish some articles or stories."

“It’s quite novel.”

"Well, this is what I think..." Ye Yanxing repeated his thoughts to Zhang Hengyu.

The more Zhang Hengyu listened, the brighter his eyes became. "Your Majesty! I think this is feasible!"

"Of course it's possible! Then I'll leave this matter to you." Ye Yanxing raised his eyebrows as he looked at Zhang Hengyu who was becoming more and more excited.

"Yes! I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Zhang Hengyu answered loudly, "But my Lord, paper is expensive nowadays, I'm afraid..."

"Well, this is a problem. You go and do it first. You can ask Cheng Yu to withdraw the initial expenses. As for the staffing, you can recruit them yourself or ask Yang Bo for people. If you recruit, remember to recruit people who are trustworthy or have passed the character screening."

"promise."

"Okay, let's get busy."

"Subordinates retire."

After Zhang Hengyu left, Ye Yanxing sat in the study and thought about whether he should develop papermaking technology.

After all, paper here is really expensive. If we were to rely on the circulation of newspapers in the previous life, the expenses would definitely not be enough to cover the income.

Although his purpose in founding the newspaper was not to make money, he couldn't lose money either.

Finally, Ye Yanxing decided to test the papermaking technology in a few days. After all, the world belongs to his brother, so he is not afraid of taking away anyone else's cake.

He is not afraid even if someone touches someone's cake. At most he will beat him until he surrenders.

After figuring it out, Ye Yanxing started to feel bored, wondering why Fu Qianrun hadn't come back yet? He had been out for a whole day.

He wandered around the study, flipping through books here and there, feeling extremely irritable.

He got tired of it, so he went out and grabbed a servant from the yard, "When will Ruyu come back?"

"Your Highness, I don't know." The servant trembled with fear.

"Go down." Ye Yanxing let go of him.

"promise."

Ye Yanxing went to the garden, squatted beside the flower bed for a long time, and finally climbed onto the roof. He lay on the roof under the scorching sun, looking towards the gate.

Ye Yanxing stayed on the roof until the sun was about to set before coming down.

This time he went directly to the housekeeper, "Uncle Yang, Ruyu hasn't come back yet?"

"In reply to your Majesty, I have not received any news that you have returned home."

"What did he go to do?"

"There is a manor outside the palace. The young master said he would go there to take a look today. Don't worry, Your Majesty. Ye Ling will go with the young master."

Hearing that Ye Ling was with Fu Qianrun, Ye Yanxing felt relieved and sat patiently in the pavilion in the garden waiting for someone to come back.
