Chapter 7: The Princess's Troubles

In the evening, after dinner, the little slave knocked on the door of Princess Gaoping's room with a bowl of soup.

Princess Gaoping also eats in her west room on weekdays, and it can be said that she rarely has any dealings with Zhang Xiang.

Because there is no need to fight, the house is full of her people, and Zhang Xiang's daily whereabouts and actions are almost under her control.

Only one day when the mood is really good, in order to maintain the relationship between husband and wife, will Zhang Xiang be invited to dine together.

In fact, the title of colt just sounds beautiful outside, but in fact, at home, the status is very low.

Don't dare to offend the princess, almost all have to look at the princess's face.

Not to mention that usually the horse has to salute when he sees the princess, even his parents, when they see the princess, they also have to bow to the king.

It can be said that at home, there is no dignity.

In the ancient environment of male superiority and female inferiority, Zhang Xiang's identity as a concubine is at most a little stronger than that of a son-in-law.

Because at least they are relatives of the emperor, ordinary civilians dare not offend.

Even many literati who were already famous looked down on men like Concubines.

After all, a famous literati already has the qualifications to enter the court as an official, especially in an environment like Nanchu where the literary style is at its peak.

But don't want to be an official again in this life.

The same is true for future children.

This is to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics.

Therefore, as a colt, I can only live my life carefree and inactive in the future.

Zhang Jianxing, the original general of Zhenbei, may have agreed to this marriage because of this stupid son, who was frail and sickly, could not do civil and military work, and had no future.

Because of such a son, at least after his death, he has this relationship with the royal family, and this stupid son can also get a good death under the protection of the royal family.

Otherwise, with a heavy minister like Zhang Jian, if his son is normal, how can he let his son be a concubine?

Worship the prime minister and shine on the lintel, that is the ambition of a good man.

It is also that the Zhang family does not have such a blessing.

In fact, Zhang Jian's approach can be regarded as a realization, a year ago, after the Zhang family was beheaded by the whole family, this only son was indeed saved.

Zhang Xiang, who just came here, is also aware of this identity, so he is carefree, and squandering the princess's family has become his life goal.

Isn't it just to be an idle second ancestor!

Simple, he is the best, he has no ability to make money in his previous life, and in this life, when it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, he feels that no one can compare to him.

"Princess, this is a home remedy that the colt cooked for you, saying that it is useful for coughing."

In the room, the little slave put the soup on Princess Gaoping's table and said respectfully.

Zhao Hanyan coughed lightly twice and walked out of the inner room.

In the past, she looked dignified and elegant, and she looked much haggard.

She has been suffering from the wind chill for several days, and although she has seen the doctor and prescribed several medications, she is still not completely well.

These days, she just stays in the house.

"What is this?"

After Zhao Hanyan sat down, he looked at the yellow soup in the bowl and asked with a frown.

The little slave hurriedly said: "The horse said, this is called pear juice mushroom soup, which is boiled with pears, mushrooms, and honey, which has the effect of curing cough and eliminating infection. ”

"Really?" Zhao Hanyan was skeptical: "The doctors all say that good medicine is bitter, this thing is really useful?" ”

The little slave smiled: "Princess, the horse also said that the treatment of cough does not have to be a medicinal herb to have an effect, and many vegetables and fruits that are usually eaten actually have the effect of curing some minor diseases, which is called food therapy." ”

"Diet therapy?" Zhao Hanyan seemed to have heard such a new word for the first time.

The little slave nodded again and again: "Yes, princess, you drink it while it's hot, the horse said that it should be delicious while it's hot, and it's not good if it's cold, I'm watching it when the horse is cooking!" He did it very seriously, and he also taught me how to do it, saying that in the future, the princess would not like him to do these things, so I would do it. ”

Then, the little slave added: "Since the princess fell ill, although the concubine didn't ask much, he remembered it in his heart!" ”

Zhao Hanyan remained silent, tasted it lightly, and it was really sweet.

Then he continued to take another sip and quickly finished the bowl of soup.

Feel it gently and savor the taste.

It's really delicious!

And the uncomfortable feeling of coughing has disappeared a lot.

"I didn't expect him to understand these things." Zhao Han snorted.

It's not that she can't laugh, but she rarely laughs, in the past, in the palace, her mother, Concubine Cheng's mother went to see her, she would be very happy, happy like a child.

Her father went to see her, and she laughed a lot.

It's just that the father is busy with state affairs and has little time to see her, and the mother likes to be quiet, so every time she goes to see her, she has to ask the queen mother.

So in fact, I don't see much every year, and as I grow up and gradually feel lonely, she doesn't smile much.

After moving out of the palace four years ago and going to the princess's mansion, I smiled even less.

Over the years, there haven't been many things that have made her happy, and there are almost no of them.

Especially two months ago, after marrying this colt she didn't like at all, she barely smiled.

Because she got married, it meant that she had no choice, and she would explain her life like this.

These days when he lived in Pingzhou, every night, thinking of the injustice of fate to himself, Zhao Hanyan would sigh with emotion.

The little slave may have been the one who smiled the most when she saw the princess after following her, but she didn't know what the princess was thinking, and the princess couldn't tell her the sorrows and troubles in her heart.

In addition, she herself is a girl with a lively personality, so whether the princess is genuinely smiling or perfunctory, she feels that the princess is happy.

Seeing that the princess was happy at this moment, the little slave said: "Princess, isn't it that the horse was weak and sick before!" Perhaps these were all ideas he had come up with on his own. ”

"That's how it should be!" Zhao Hanyan nodded.

Then he asked, "Did he go out with you today to buy these things for making these soups?" ”

The slave nodded, and then she suddenly remembered the strange question the colt had asked her today.

She felt that there were some things that could not be concealed from the princess, so she also said, "Princess, on the way back with the colt today, the colt asked me some strange questions. ”

"What's the problem?"

"The horse asked me where the Qinglou in Pingzhou was the most famous." The little slave whispered.

Zhao Hanyan was slightly stunned.

Then his brow furrowed slightly.

The little slave was also a clever girl, and she didn't say that the rest of the colts asked her about the beauty of the concubine, the mother or the princess, and these were the things that could make the princess angry, and she wouldn't say.

But this, she felt compelled to say.

"Why did he ask you?" After a moment, Zhao Hanyan stretched his brows and asked.

"The colt said he was just curious." The little slave hurriedly said.

Zhao Hanyan just thought about it for a while, and seemed to understand this reason.

She waved to the little slave and said, "Got it, you go back first!" ”

The little slave pursed his lips, but he didn't move, as if he wanted to say something.

Zhao Hanyan has been with her master and servant for many years, how can she not guess what she is thinking, and said: "Say whatever you want!" The closest person to me is you, and what else can't you tell me. ”

"Princess, are you having trouble with the pony? Isn't it strange why the colt asks this question? The little slave plucked up his courage and said.

Zhao Hanyan said: "What kind of awkwardness can I have with him?" I am in love with my husband and wife, and I have never had a quarrel. ”

"Then why did the colt ask where the Qinglou was? I don't think the colt is like that, right? The little slave said.

Zhao Hanyan said flatly: "Little slave, don't think nonsense, I know that you are good for me, and I am afraid that the horse will do something sorry for me, I appreciate it." But maybe that's what the colt said, he's just curious, and he shouldn't mean anything else, so don't think too much about it. ”

"Oh!"

The little slave didn't continue, and then picked up the plate: "Then princess, I'll go first, and you can rest early." ”

After the little slave left, Zhao Hanyan sat on the chair and did not move for a long time.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

In fact, she more or less understood some of the colt's thoughts in her heart.

After all, she and the colt have been married for more than two months, and she told him the truth about marrying him.

Let husband and wife coexist peacefully and respect each other as guests.

Never let him touch himself.

As a man, she can understand some needs in some aspects.

It was she who neglected the colt's feelings.

So in this matter, she does not blame the colt.

It's just that there are some things that need to be explained to the colt.

It seems that when I get better, I will have to talk to the colt seriously...
