Chapter 191 First acquaintance
The twenty-seventh day of observing filial piety passed quickly. During this period, Zhang Yang could clearly feel that his father's love for him had gradually disappeared. First of all, the urban management office in his hand was taken by the Crown Princess Su. My brother took it away.

The cleaning fee, which was originally priced at thirty cents a month, has been increased to fifty cents. It seems that this person is also a greedy person.

Fortunately, he has many ways to make money, and Zhang Yang has no way to return to the previous pricing.

Zhang Yang doesn't have a formal title of king yet, and he doesn't have his own fiefdom. He only has some money. Fortunately, he runs a restaurant outside the palace with the support of his father-in-law.

Otherwise, Zhang Yang wouldn't be able to spend the money openly just relying on Yanyulou's filial piety.

"Your Highness, Jinling City has returned to its usual mess. Some streets have not been cleaned. Public toilets have not been cleaned. Now they are stinking to the sky."

After listening to Cao Zhengchun's report, Zhang Yang could only smile helplessly. Looking at the words he had written on the table, Zhang Yang said: "These four words "Quiet and Zhiyuan" are given to you. Don't worry, Old Cao, we are now Just hide your capabilities and bide your time, don’t worry.”

"The person who should be worried now is the prince."

East Palace.

The prince cursed angrily: "I finally managed to get this urban management office for you, and this is how you do things for me? You have to clean the public toilets in Jinling City for me within one hour, and the price will return to three Ten articles.”

"The news came from the little ones that Qingsi Luan has entered the palace."

Eunuch Gao came over and said, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother, please come over."

The prince said: "Do you want the imperial doctor to take a look?"

Zhang Yang said as he walked: "Who else is there besides me?"

The first three competitions had just ended, and the first visitor who knew there would never be a shortage finally came.

Looking up from the circle of the brocade shed, I can see the canopy of palace fans and the beaded crown and brocade robes inside the railings of Yingfeng Tower. Apart from judging from the position that the emperor must be sitting in the main building, basically no one can be distinguished. s face. But for those people upstairs, the situation is naturally different. Looking down from a high position, everything within the field of vision can be seen clearly.

Zhang Yang stood up and said, "That's right, I haven't seen grandma for a long time." He looked at Eunuch Gao and said, "Old Gao, how is grandma's health lately?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said: "It seems that our noble man can't wait any longer. How was the competition in the previous dynasty?"

"Go and deal with your matters quickly."

The prince smiled nonchalantly. Of course he knew that Ning Guohou Xie Yu had never taken a fancy to him, but the process of ascending to the throne of power was based on one's own abilities, and lingering in love was still a kind of ability.

Outside the Zhuque Gate of Jinling Palace, there is a towering tribute building with royal regulations and red beams and glazed tiles, named "Yingfeng". Since the third generation of the emperor, celebrations such as weddings and coming-of-age ceremonies in the Daliang royal family have been held in this building. This is a ceremony for all people to pay their respects. Although Princess Nihuang is not from the royal family, her achievements and fame are world-famous, and she has always received special treatment in the Daliang court better than the princess. This time, her son-in-law selection meeting was naturally held at Yingfeng Tower.

The prince looked around and said, "The Sima family has a very good relationship with me. Sima Lei is also a talented person. Although his martial arts is not as powerful as Princess Nihuang, he can still see it. And he has admired the princess for many years." Then he whispered: "The love thread around this palace is ready to be sent out of the palace. The mother-in-law is ready."

"Tell me, what happened again?"

Cao Zhengchun said: "It hasn't started yet. There is news from His Majesty. If His Majesty wants to go, you can."

Cao Zhengchun came in and said, "Your Highness."

At this time, the chief of ceremonies has led the first fifty people scheduled to compete today onto the platform to pay homage to the emperor. After signing up one by one, they went down and were paired according to the order determined by drawing lots. The competition officially began.

Zhang Yang was sitting not far away, watching the martial arts competition downstairs. He didn't know why he could see the weaknesses of the martial arts contestants downstairs at a glance. His wide sleeves could just block the martial arts gestures.

Although there are only a small number of people who can witness the whole conference with their own eyes, the importance of this matter is self-evident. It can even be said that all the attention of the world has been directed to the platform outside the Suzaku Gate. on, waiting for the most thrilling competition that is about to begin.

Su Huan could only kowtow quickly.

Zhang Yang was sensitive and knew that these two young men were Mei Changsu and Fei Liu.

At nearly noon, the bells in Yingfeng Tower suddenly rang out, nine long and five short, announcing the arrival of the emperor. There was a solemn silence downstairs, except for the high-pitched voice of the chief of ceremonies, directing everyone to bow and worship. .

...

Arriving at Yingfeng Tower, the Queen Mother sat high up, looked at Zhang Yang outside the door and immediately shouted: "Xiao Yu, come quickly."

……

Zhang Yang stood up and said, "Here comes someone to change clothes. Let's go and see the excitement."

"There are also two children from Ning Guohou's family, uncle Yan Guo's son, and two young people."

"Master Marquis is here."

A month ago, the emperor ordered personnel from the Ministry of Industry to build a platform in the huge square in front of Yingfeng Tower. A five-color brocade tent was built around the platform for nobles, ordinary officials and other distinguished people to sit. Scattered outside the shed, there were civilians outside the shed who had been verified and allowed to come in and watch from a distance. The ordinary people, of course, were blocked from the customs and had no chance to attend the grand event. They could only stay in the distance to listen to the news and chat to relieve their boredom.

But I was thinking in my heart: The talented Qilin man is finally going to meet.

Xie Yu, the Marquis of Ning State, looked at the prince and said, "Mei Changsu is here and will live in Wei Chen's mansion."

The sheds of the Yan family and the Xie family were not in the same place, but since Ning Guohou and Princess Liyang were both at Yingfeng Tower, Yan Yujin sat directly over, saying that he was crowded with everyone. Fei Liu did not appear and disappear today. Instead, he stayed close to Mei Changsu, staring at everyone who came close intentionally or unintentionally. His cold temperament even bothered the three noble gentlemen next to him. Chills.

As the sect leader of the largest gang in the world, Mei Changsu has difficulty practicing martial arts due to physical reasons, but he has extensive knowledge of the martial arts of various sects and knows everything about them. The three young people in the booth kept asking questions, and he patiently answered them one by one. Although the competition on the stage had not yet reached an exciting level, the atmosphere in the booth was very lively.

Xie Yu said: "Your Highness, this talented Qilin scholar is just like the rumors in the world, but he has a very powerful bodyguard. It was Xie Bi and Jingrui who invited him to stay in the capital temporarily. It seems that he is not in good health. good."

And the winner among them will get the woman who is the most difficult to conquer in the world, but also the best.

Eunuch Gao said: "The Queen Mother's health has improved recently."

The prince said happily: "Qilin Talent has come to the capital?"

Xie Yu shook his head and said: "Your Highness, the top priority now is to recruit a bride for this competition. Princess Nihuang cannot marry outside, let alone someone related to Prince Yu."

But what surprised everyone was that this visitor was someone they had never thought of at first.

Zhang Yang was very troubled when he saw that his panel was still sealed. What should he do?

At this time, Ning Guohou Xie Yu came in and said, "His Royal Highness."

Ning Guohou Xie Yu's eyes showed a trace of disdain, and he quickly lowered his head and said: "Congratulations, Your Highness."

Before Zhang Yang ran quickly, he knelt down and kowtowed politely and said: "I've seen grandma, you are much younger again."

The Queen Mother said kindly: "You little monkey, do you still like to climb trees now?"

Everyone present laughed when these words came out. In order to practice Qinggong, Zhang Yang suddenly remembered the scene of tree climbing in Naruto for some reason. He often climbed trees secretly, and was beaten many times by the emperor and Concubine Xi after they found out about it, but nothing happened. If you are afraid, you will run to the Empress Dowager as soon as you are beaten.

Zhang Yang was chatting with the Empress Dowager. Mei Changsu and others were about to have an audience after emergency training on how to meet drivers.

Mei Changsu turned his eyes slightly and confirmed the identities of these four people.

The person sitting at the head of the throne, wearing a phoenix crown and a yellow robe, must be Empress Zhenggongyan with a graceful bearing. There are wrinkles around the corners of her eyes and lips, but she still vaguely retains some of her youthful beauty. On the right is a beautiful woman in palace attire with a high bun. She is also over forty years old, but she has taken better care of herself and her skin is still quite shiny. This woman must be the prince's biological mother, Concubine Yue. The beautiful middle-aged woman sitting on the left has a more dignified expression and her beautiful features look familiar. She is naturally Princess Liyang. The last one is a young woman. Her clothes are simple and her makeup is light. Although her face is not beautiful, she is full of energy and vitality. Among the ladies in the room, no one can suppress her momentum, except Ni. Princess Huang, who is so charming?
"Are you here?" The Queen Mother sat up tremblingly, smiling, "Quick, call over here, tell me which children are they?"

Yan Yujin couldn't help but smile, and was glared at by Queen Yan.

Because of her old age, the Empress Dowager has become a little confused in recent years. Although she likes to get close to young people, she can't remember who they are. Sometimes they have just met them the first day and have to introduce them again the next day.

Gao Zhan led everyone forward, and Mei Changsu found an opportunity to coax Fei Liu in a low voice: "Can you let grandma hold your hand later? Can you smile for grandma to see?"

Fei Liu had a cold face, showing an unwilling expression. "You listen to me, I will sing to you at night."

Fei Liu's eyes suddenly lit up.

At this time, the Empress Dowager had taken the hand of Xiao Jingrui who was closest to her. Gao Zhan hurriedly introduced from the side: "This is the eldest son of Ning Guohou, Xiao Jingrui."

"Xiao Rui, are you married?" the old man asked kindly.

"not yet……"

"Oh, hurry up!"

"Yes……"

After touching Xiao Jingrui's head, she turned around and took Xie Bi's hand.

"This is Xie Bi, the second son of Ning Guohou."

"Xiao Bi, are you married?"

"without……"

"Hurry up!"

"Yes……"

Next, the Empress Dowager waved to Fei Liu, and Mei Changsu hurriedly pushed him over. The young man had a cold face and reluctantly let the Empress Dowager hold his hand.

"This little brother's name is Fei Liu..." Gao Zhan quickly asked Xie Bi and introduced him.

"Xiao Fei, are you married?"

"no!"

"Hurry up!"

"No..." Before Fei Liu could say the word "no", Mei Changsu hurried over and covered his mouth. Naturally, the Empress Dowager's attention immediately shifted to him, she took his hand and looked at him with a smile.

"This is Mr. Su Zhesu," Gao Zhan said.

"Xiao Shu," the Empress Dowager asked the same question with a somewhat unclear enunciation, "Are you married?"

"No."

"Hurry up!"

"..."

The last person to be pulled over was Yan Yujin. After Gao Zhan introduced him, the Queen Mother still asked: "Ojin, are you married?"

Yan Yujin blinked his eyes and said mischievously: "We are already married."

The Queen Mother paused for a moment, as if she was reacting, but then she asked a new question: "Have you given birth to a child?"

Yan Yujin was stunned and murmured: "Not yet..."

"Hurry up!"

"..."

Queen Yan stepped forward and said respectfully: "Grandmother, would you like the children to sit with you for a while?"

"Okay, okay," the Empress Dowager was very happy, beckoning and making arrangements, "come here, Xiaorui, Xiaobi, Xiaojin, don't stand, Xiaofei is too far away, and Xiaoshu, all sit down Beside Grandma..."

Sitting around by the young people, the old man looked pleased. He ordered people to bring plates of exquisite fruit snacks and distributed them to them like children. He looked on and smiled happily.

However, despite being in a happy mood, the Empress Dowager was already old after all, and soon she became mentally exhausted. Yan Sheng was afraid of making mistakes, so he and Princess Liyang persuaded and deceived her, and finally coaxed her to agree to return to the palace to rest, and several people were finally released.

Seeing these people being tortured, Zhang Yang smiled, and the Queen Mother said: "You, it's time for you to get married, right?"

Zhang Yang was stunned and said, "Grandma, I'm still a child."

"Oh, baby, don't be in a hurry to have a baby, get married first."

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was a little tired, Zhang Yang hurriedly asked the maid to serve the Empress Dowager for her nap.

After Mei Changsu and others came out, he asked, "Who was the young man sitting eating pastries just now?"

Jingrui said: "That is the eighteenth prince I mentioned. He is a genius."

Zhang Yang heard this as soon as he walked out and said with a smile: "I'm not a genius yet, at most I'm just a talent."

"I have met His Highness."

Zhang Yang waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be so polite. Mr. Su, why don't we have a chat?"

Mei Changsu was stunned and said, "Your Highness, please."

The two came to the corridor. Zhang Yang looked at Mei Changsu and suddenly said: "Qilin Talent, he is really extraordinary."

"Your Highness is joking."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Let's make a deal?"

"Your Highness, please speak."

"I have a piece of news here about Princess Nihuang that I can tell you."

"What do I have to give?"

"This is an opportunity for you or your Jiang Zuo Alliance to take action or stop." Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are half friends, I will not cheat my friends."

Mei Changsu thought for a moment and said, "I agree."

Zhang Yang approached Mei Changsu and said, "Someone in the harem is attacking Princess Nihuang, and she is in love."

Mei Changsu was startled when he heard the words 'love and affection' and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Someone is looking for you, I'm leaving first."

As soon as Zhang Yang reached the stairs, he heard a clear and sweet female voice calling from behind: "Mr. Su, please stay."

Although she only called "Mr. Su" to stay, it is conceivable that everyone stayed and turned around, but Zhang Yang left without looking back.

Princess Nihuang walked over gracefully, with a dignified demeanor and the demeanor of a strong person, as if she didn't care about the many eyes on her. She walked straight to Mei Changsu and smiled: "Nuange It's too stuffy here, not suitable for a military person like me. If you don't mind, Mr. Su, would you like to accompany me for a walk on the corridor to see how the competition below is going?"
