Chapter 24
"His Royal Highness?"

Zheng Shi sat up from the bed, her long hair covered her bare back, although there was still a little youthfulness on her face, but there was more element of surprise.

It's no wonder that she was so surprised, not to mention that Bai Zhengzhong hadn't talked to her about the court affairs for a long time, and it was rare to mention his father Zheng Taiwei to her.Not to mention that the content of this utterance was so abrupt, asking her if Taiwei Zheng had any relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?Who in the capital of this dynasty does not know that Zheng Taiwei is famous for his upright words and deeds, and he is also loyal to the emperor, so how could there be news of his dealings with the crown prince?
Zheng leaned over Bai Zhengzhong's exposed chest and asked, "Where did Shuangshuang hear it? Could it be fake?"

Bai Zhengzhong had just had a refreshment just now, and he was in a pretty good mood now, so he didn't care about Zheng Shi's many inquiries, he just stroked Zheng Shi's bare back vaguely and said lazily: "Of course there are rumors. Find some time to go back to Taiwei's mansion to have a look."

Zheng Taiwei had long since refused to let her enter the Taiwei's mansion, and she had to meet Zheng Taiwei behind her back when she rarely met with her birth mother. It's not like Bai Zhengzhong didn't know it, and he still said it so easily now.Mrs. Zheng felt a little resentful when she heard it, but it was not easy to show it.

Seeing that Mrs. Zheng didn't speak, Bai Zhengzhong frowned and pushed Mrs. Zheng away, sat up and said solemnly: "You should know that this matter is very important, it is directly related to my future career, don't you always like to talk about so and so Has your wife sealed another product? I'll give you a chance to grasp it yourself."

Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Does the master have a chance to be promoted?"

"Hmph, it's mine, and it's yours too." Bai Zhengzhong paused, and said again: "You can visit Yue Zhang after dawn."

Zheng cast a winking look over, leaned forward and pressed her softness against Bai Zhengzhong's chest: "Since the master has said so, no matter how difficult it is, I will do it."

Having said that, Mrs. Zheng still had no idea about whether she could see Taiwei Zheng, so she arranged for Dongmei to deliver a message to Mrs. Mrs. Zhang after dawn, and asked Mrs. Zhang to come to Heyue Tower Discuss important matters.

Heyue Building is also one of the properties of the Cheng family, the richest man in the Kangxuan Dynasty, and it is also a place frequented by dignitaries in the imperial capital.There is an independent private room in the Heyue Building, which is very private. Zheng and Zhang often meet here.

And when Mrs. Zhang heard her daughter shouting in a hurry, she thought it was something serious, so she hurried to the appointment and brought the snacks from the palace, but she didn't want to hear Mrs. Zheng asking about it as soon as she sat down. Major events in the DPRK and China are coming.

Mrs. Zheng is the daughter that Mrs. Zhang loves very much. Even after Mrs. Zheng did such shameful things, Mrs. Zhang still loves her very much, and would rather take the risk of Taiwei Zheng's displeasure with her secretly.It's just that Zheng's snooping this time really made her a little difficult.

"Yun'er, why did you inquire about these things?" Mrs. Zhang said with the corners of her mouth pulled, "It's not like you don't know, your father never told me about these court affairs."

Mrs. Zhang has been granted a first-rank imperial order many years ago. Generally, the female family members of important ministers go out to meet friends, either to gossip or ask for their husband's bedside talk.But Mrs. Zhang was an exception, Taiwei Zheng never discussed court affairs with her, and she was not allowed to inquire.

"Mother, of course my daughter knows, so I just asked if your father is dating the Crown Prince."

"How do I know this?" Mrs. Zhang muttered.

Mrs. Zheng was also a little dissatisfied when she heard this, thinking that her mother was a dignified first-class wife, but she didn't know anything about it when she asked about serious matters.But after all, he had something to ask for, so he softened his voice and said aggrievedly: "Mother, this is a major matter related to my husband's promotion. Dad has avoided me all these years. It's not because of my low official position. If my husband turns over once, dad will be happy." It's too late."

Mrs. Zhang was also a little surprised when she heard that, she took Zheng's hand and asked anxiously: "My uncle is going to be promoted?"

"The horoscope hasn't even been written yet!" Zheng shook off Zhang's hand and said with some resentment: "If father doesn't help to support, the husband can only rely on himself. If you don't know, your daughter will be a slave all her life." The daughter-in-law of a fifth-rank petty official."

"I really don't know." Listening to Zheng's blindly complaining, Zhang's face was also a little worried: "Besides, you didn't recruit the fifth-rank petty official yourself!"

"mother!"

Mrs. Zhang turned her face away to not look at her, but suddenly thought of something and became suspicious.

Mrs. Zheng knew there was something going on when she saw it, and hurriedly asked: "Mother, did you think of something?"

Mrs. Zhang frowned and recalled earnestly, and after a while, she said with some uncertainty: "I remember that once your father received a servant in the study, and when I went to the palace banquet later, I seemed to see that servant again. Dressed up as an eunuch, carrying the palanquin for His Highness the Crown Prince."

"real?!"

Seeing Zheng's happy face, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help being a little annoyed: "I can't remember clearly. I still have a little impression of being a close minister of His Highness the Crown Prince. That young man... I'm not sure."

How can Zheng Shi still listen to these words now, she knows her own mother, she is always a timid and cautious person, and she will not say it if she is not [-]% sure, since she said so, it is probably okay.

Seeing that her daughter was secretly excited but didn't speak, Mrs. Zhang slapped her: "What are you and uncle planning? Tell me about it, so I can discuss it with your father."

"Don't! Mother, please don't mention this matter to father." Mrs. Zheng guessed that her father hid the matter with the crown prince so carefully, and he definitely didn't want people to find out that he was also involved in the party struggle. If he told him now Zheng Taiwei, maybe it will cause Zheng Taiwei's unhappiness. "I still need to confirm with my husband, mother, don't worry, I will tell you when the matter is settled."

"But--"

"Okay, mother, it's settled like this. When you go back, don't talk nonsense." Then he got up and made a gesture to leave: "Then my daughter will go first."

"You, you're leaving now?" Mrs. Zhang also stood up, "I still have something to ask you! My uncle's eldest daughter has been in the limelight recently, do you have any arrangements for correspondence in the mansion? You—— "

"Mother! Don't talk about it, I know it in my own mind, and I'm still in a hurry to return to my husband."

As soon as Mrs. Zheng finished speaking, he walked to the door, opened it and led the maid to leave.

Facing the empty room and the untouched snacks on the table, Mrs. Zhang thought about her daughter leaving her own mother alone because of her father-in-law, and couldn't help but regret telling Mrs. Zheng what she knew.
