Chapter 32: The Royal Grandson is without an uncle.
Early the next morning, Zhang Anshi went to the East Palace in a hurry.
He practically entered Crown Princess Zhang’s chambers with his arms crossed.
At this time, in Crown Princess Zhang’s chambers, Zhu Zhanji was sitting on his knees in a well-behaved manner.
And a few eunuchs were holding a large gilded Ruyi, which, on the Ruyi, was clearly a character for longevity.
As soon as Zhang Anshi saw this Jade Ruyi, his eyes lit up and said, “Sister, is this for me?”
Zhang’s head was hanging down at this time, scrutinizing the jade ruyi, listening to Zhang Anshi’s words, not only frowned and smiled sweetly, said, “Don’t you fool around, this …… is for the mother.”
“Sent to Empress Dowager?” Zhang Anshi could not help but be disappointed, and then said, “Sister, you are not fair, I am a brother, for the sake of Sister, now clamping the tail to be a person, honest and honest, people see people praise, Sister if you do not believe it, just ask Zhanji.”
Zhu Zhanji, who was named, raised his eyes in confusion and said nothing.
Prince Consort Zhang smiled: “Yes yes yes, you are willing to listen, not and Zhu Yong and Zhang Yoking these two bad guys fooling around, a sister natural also peace of mind. But well, you do not play this idea of Ruyi, mother’s first recovery, I do daughter-in-law, how can not enter the palace to see it? This is a big happy event, I need to send a good gift to go, for the Prince, but also to please the Queen Mother’s heart.”
Zhang Anshi gave an oh-so-disappointed sigh.
Zhang again whispered, “Han Wangfei and the other destined women are also going …… I heard that Han Wangfei has prepared thick gifts ……”
Zhang Anshi winced and immediately went into the same fighting mode with Zhang.
He said, “Thick gift, how thick?”
“I heard …… that it was scavenged from the Han King’s vassal residence there.”
When Zhang Anshi heard it, he immediately understood what it meant.
In fact, in the city of Nanjing, there is an interesting phenomenon that the King of Han is richer than the Crown Prince, and much richer.
The reason is not Zhu Di thick and thin, but because Zhu Gaoqi is the crown prince, the crown prince, naturally belongs to the Zhanzifu feed, to put it bluntly, the crown prince is actually equivalent to a salary, the treasury will come up with a sum of silver every year out of the supply of the East Palace expenses.
And this number, in fact, will not be exaggerated, after all, the Prince is the Crown Prince Well, he and the Emperor is not yet divided, in theory, is the Emperor and the Crown Prince together with the life.
But the king of Han is not the same, although the king of Han is still dead and begging to stay in the capital, but in fact …… after he sealed the king of Han, he has a vassal land.
The Han King’s vassal state is in Yunnan, where there is a large number of fields and villages granted by the imperial court, as well as local financial support, that is to say, the Han King is in the capital, there are lifting half of the military and civilian people of Yunnan to provide for the people, can be poor?
Zhang Anshi said, “So Sister is planning to take this jade wall and give it to the Empress Mother to compete with Princess Han?”
Zhang frowned and said: “It’s not a fight, I am the eldest daughter-in-law, how can I be willing to live behind others? For people daughter-in-law, is the most difficult, both to serve the in-laws, teach them to be satisfied. And also to be close to their husband, teach him to feel at ease, but also to teach the children, which can not be wrong in every place.”
Zhang Anshi then smiled and said, “Sister is right, Sister is too good, these are of course a thousand difficulties for other ignorant women, but in Sister’s case, it’s nothing.”
This is really not a boast, Zhang Anshi’s sister Zhang, in history is not an oil lamp, known as the woman in the man.
Zhang said, “Don’t be oily, you’re getting older, be dignified and solemn, this is like a proper royal appearance.”
Zhang Anshi’s eyes, however, looked at the Jade Ruyi and said, “Sister, can I take a closer look.”
Zhang said, “You don’t want to take it for yourself.”
Zhang Anshi then went up and looked east and west, “That’s not a low price.”
“It cost two thousand three hundred taels, and your brother-in-law is still heartbroken?”
Zhang Anshi said, and had already cupped the Jade Ruyi in his hands.
Zhang quickly said, “Be careful ……”
However, when he said this, the jade ruyi snapped and slipped out of Zhang Anshi’s hand.
The Jade Ruyi was sturdy, and after landing on the ground, it bounced up and didn’t even break.
It was just this one moment that caused Zhang to cry out in shock.
The eunuch on the side was like a vicious dog pouncing on food, picking up the jade ruyi and kneeling down again, claiming under his breath, “The slave girl will die by ten thousand deaths.” After saying this, he held the jade ruyi high.
Although this jade ruyi did not break, but the handle of the handle corner has been cracked some.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is still a strange and precious treasure, but if you take a flawed jade ruyi into the palace, it is obviously inappropriate.
The gift is kind of …… wasted.
Zhang’s eyes instantly swept through a trace of heartache, but said, “Anshi, you …… you …… you’re okay …… did you hurt ……”
Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, said calmly, “Sister, I did it on purpose.”
Zhang’s eyes were originally filled with concern, but after hearing Zhang Anshi’s words, her chest suddenly rose and fell, and her seven orifices rose.
She couldn’t help but glare at this blood brother and chortled through clenched teeth, “Zhang Anshi!”
“Sister.” Zhang Anshi is still playful: “Don’t be anxious, listen to me, this gift is sent over, what’s the use of it, to keep that Han Wangfei is still going to press you a step.”
“Sister, you’re used to being pampered in the Eastern Palace, ah, you’re usually so high and mighty that you’d have to ask me about things like gift-giving.”
Zhang said in annoyance, “So you smashed your brother-in-law’s hard-won ruyi?”
Zhang Anshi said: “The old does not go, the new does not come, I do not know brother-in-law and sister’s temperament? If I don’t smash it, you’ll have to send this gift to the palace no matter what. Sister, you believe me, what the Empress likes, there are not many people in the world know better than me.”
Seemingly afraid of Zhang’s disbelief, she continued, “If Ah Sister doesn’t believe me, she can ask around outside, who are the friends of women in this Nanjing city?”
Zhang’s heartbreakingly took the jade ruyi to examine, she is considered to be angry by her own brother, pretty face, curtains down, although you can not see her eyes to kill, but the anger seems to be still building up.
“My Zhang family really hit a ghost, teaching me to have a bastard brother like you.”
Zhang Anshi said, “Sister, leave this gift matter to me, I’ll make sure that the Empress Dowager will like it so much that she will praise you every day. If our closest and most beloved Emperor His Majesty were to find out, I’m afraid he would also look at brother-in-law and you in a different light.”
“Don’t you say it, I’m not listening.”
“Sister must hear it.”
Zhang’s face was taut and silent.
Zhang Anshi is a bit speechless, how is it different from what he expected, is this a real sister or not.
No, the gift had to be arranged by him, it was a matter of his brother-in-law’s status.
Brother-in-law is not good-looking, his figure is poor, his legs are not as sharp as others’, and he is still the eldest son, so don’t those who are parents get closer to their youngest son?
Can the Crown Prince be pressured in every way?
The depth of Empress Xu’s relationship with His Majesty is well known, so Empress Xu’s attitude towards the Crown Prince must have a great impact on the Emperor.
Zhang Anshi then stalked his neck and said, “Sister, this is what you said, you taught me to die, then I’ll die, I’ll die for you, if you don’t promise, I won’t live today, I’ll hang myself.”
He said, wailing, and began to unbuckle himself, seeking the beams of the room on one side.
Zhang only sat in style, looking at Zhang Anshi indifferently.
The eunuchs, however, were horrified, and one by one they wanted to stop, this one saying, “Aiya, don’t make a scene, Your Excellency.”
“Gongzi, if you have something to say, how sad it should be for the Queen to see you like this.”
Ignoring them, Zhang Anshi found a place where he felt safer and was about to start tying his belt, saying on one side, “Don’t stop me, no one.”
Said, toward the side of the Zhu Zhanji said: “Zhanji, you open your eyes to watch, see how your mother is forced to die your own uncle, you do a good job as a witness, in the future you do not have an uncle.”
