Zhang Xiyue smiled and said: "If the prince likes to eat concubines, I will make it for you, but the lion's head is greasy after all, so don't worry, I have an urgent matter here that needs to be solved as soon as possible."

"Oh..."Zhu Gaochi tilted his head to look at her, "Madame, what's the urgency?" ”

"Of course, it's about the prince... Candidate for the crown prince. ”

Zhu Gaochi frowned slightly, "I said, women should not participate in court affairs." ”

"I don't participate," Zhang Xiyue said: "Lord Prince, of course you know the importance of the crown prince, which is not only related to the lives of hundreds of people in the palace, but also closely related to the fate of the people in the world.

I have heard among the people for a long time, the prince, you are benevolent and cherish the people, and it is most suitable for you to be the prince for the country and the people, and your two younger brothers are not good at governing the country, right? ”

Zhu Gaochi retracted his gaze and nodded slowly, "What you said is also... How do you know that Gao Xi and Gao Sui are not suitable to be princes? ”

"Have you forgotten that I am also from Beiping Mansion? Even if I don't know the other two princes who have lived in Peking for a long time, I have always heard others talk about it! ”

"Oh..."

Zhang Xiyue saw that he didn't look disgusted, so she continued: "Prince, you have a good relationship with Yang Shiqi, Yang Bo, Huang Huai and Xie Jin, right?"

"Of course, the first three have a half-division relationship with Yang Rongyu and me..."Zhu Gaochi suddenly looked over in surprise, "Madame knows a lot!" What do you mean by mentioning them? ”

"I also heard my father mention it by chance, saying that these people have the ability to govern the country and the country, and I want to say that the prince can let several of their adults jointly promote you to the crown prince to their father."

"That's it..."Zhu Gaochi touched his fleshy chin and thought about it, and then said after a while: "The method is feasible, but...?"

At this time, the people in the kitchen brought wine and food, Zhu Gaochi didn't continue, and the banquet was set, and Zhang Xiyue left Yin Xiaomoss alone to wait.

The two of them drank a glass of wine and ate a few bites of food, and Zhang Xiyue asked, "Prince, do you say that method is not feasible?"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head slightly, "Those people are all ministers who are respected by the emperor, if they jointly protect... It should work, but... One is that my father hates our personal ministers, and the other is that I can't tell a few of them? ”

Zhang Xiyue thought for a while and said: "The prince, my father is worried about the establishment of the crown prince, and it is normal for the ministers to come forward to nominate you, so you can't just say that you have a personal relationship with the minister, right?"

"Well, that's reasonable."

"That's easy, if the prince himself can't say it... That's up to me. ”

"You...?" Zhu Gaochi looked at her suspiciously, "This is not appropriate, right?" What's the difference between telling me, and how do you go to meet them? ”

"It's easy to do," Zhang Xiyue said: "Isn't the prince handling court affairs in the palace!" You have summoned them all in the name of deliberation, and at lunchtime I will make some lion's heads for them to taste.

These people should be smart people, and they should be able to understand with a few words from me, and we won't say that no one can catch the handle. ”

"Oh..."Zhu Gaochi looked at her and gradually showed a surprised expression, "I didn't expect... Madame is not simple! I'm impressed! ”

"The prince has won the award, and the concubine is just thinking nonsense, and I don't know if it is feasible?" Zhang Xiyue thought to herself that Yuan Zhongyu was not a simple kid, and if she wanted to achieve her ideals, she really had to have his help.

"As you say... It should work. ”

Zhang Xiyue said happily: "Then it's decided, I'll have someone prepare things early tomorrow morning...!"

Zhu Gaochi naturally stayed in the West Building that night, although Zhang Xiyue still couldn't get used to his special preferences, but she barely catered to him, but it didn't make him angry...

Before breakfast the next day, Zhang Xiyue found Fang Zhongyu and asked him to go out of the imperial city to buy dishes.

Fang Zhongyue wondered: "Miss, it's different now, whatever kitchen you need will definitely be sent over!" You don't need to go out and buy it yourself, do you? ”

Zhang Xiyue said: "I'm afraid that they won't be able to buy it roughly, and you have been aggrieved in the house for so long, and you just went out for a walk."

"Hehe, of course I'm willing to go."

Yin Xiaotao pouted on the side and said, "Miss is eccentric, why didn't you say let me go out for a spin?"

"You're a girl, how can you just go out? Yuan Gongzi, you remember..."Zhang Xiyue said a large bunch of vegetables came out.

To be the best pork rib meat, Yangtze River saury, Yangcheng Lake hairy crab, lake cooked duck, Nantong wolf chicken, Nanjing belly, Rugao ham, Jingjiang preserved meat...

In addition, there are Taihu Lake's Ulva cabbage, Huai'an Pucai, Baoying's fresh lotus root, chestnut, chicken head rice, water chestnut, water chestnut, sweet noodle sauce, green onions and other things.

After Zhang Xiyue finished speaking, she saw that Fang Zhongyue didn't write, and asked suspiciously: "Yuan Gongzi, do you remember?"

Fang Zhongyue nodded, "I remember everything, there is pork rib meat..."He repeated it casually, and it turned out to be the same.

Zhang Xiyue was pleasantly surprised: "Yuan Gongzi has the ability to never forget!" It's unthinkable. ”

Yin Xiaotao even leaned up to him and tilted her head to look left and right, "I said what your head is made of... It's amazing. ”

Fang Zhongyue smiled, "Of course it's made of meat, what else can it be... By the way, and bones. So saying, he took up the money and went out.

Because he wanted to leave the imperial city, he went to Zhou Puxin to ask for a sign to go out of the city, and the latter naturally didn't have a word of nonsense and immediately gave the pass waist card.

Fang Zhongyue took two male servants who were doing rough work and pushed a small car, went out of the prince's mansion to the west gate of the imperial city, and came outside without any weeks.

It has been nearly two months since I entered the prince's mansion, and I went back to Zhang's house in the middle, and the rest of the time was in the mansion; Although there are a lot of people in the house, after all, it is different from the outside, and there is a feeling of flying birds out of the cage.

The longer Fang Zhong lived in Nanjing, he naturally knew where the things were the most complete, and went straight to the Confucius Temple with two male servants. This is the most prosperous and lively place in Nanjing, as long as there is silver, there is nothing that cannot be bought.

There was no need to save money when the money was abundant, and the best dishes were selected to buy, and the three of them bought all the items they needed in less than half an hour.

By the way, I bought three drawers of soup dumplings as breakfast, and when the three of them were about to turn around and walk back, there was a burst of cheers, and the sound was very loud, and I was afraid that there would be hundreds of people.

Fang Zhong looked for prestige and saw a large group of people gathered on the north side of the intersection of the crossroads, and there were people fighting on a high platform in the crowd.

A manservant said: "It seems to be a martial arts competition, Master Yuan, let's go see the excitement?" Anyway, it was still early, and Fang Zhongyue was also curious, so he agreed.

The three of them came to stand outside the circle of people, and saw that there were two people, one tall and one short, on the high platform. The tall twenty-somethings should be an officer in an official uniform, and the other is a gray monk's robe with a shaved head, but he is a small monk.

At that time, the two of them were fighting against each other, don't look at the little monk who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was strong and flexible; Although the officer was tall and tall, he didn't even touch the other man's hair with a stormy punch and kick.

The little monk flashed a few times and then suddenly rushed forward, slapped his right palm straight on the officer's chest, and even hit the officer five or six steps away.

The onlookers immediately let out an earth-shattering cheer, and the officer lost face and suddenly pulled out the single knife at his waist...
