When Zhang Tingyu came to visit He Shen with the prince's post, He Shen also said to Wu Lu on the side: "Ama, it seems that His Royal Highness values this Zhang Tingyu!" Although the words were a little frivolous, He Shen's tone was not like that, after all, they could be valued by the prince, although they were the prince's foreigners, they could not underestimate Zhang Tingyu.

Wu Lu put down the teacup and said cautiously: "This Zhang Tingyu is Zhang Ying's son, he is smart by nature, and he was admitted to the examination early, if it wasn't for His Royal Highness the Prince's micro-service out of the palace, he happened to meet Zhang Tingyu, then Zhang Ying would not let his son participate in the imperial examination!" ”

He Shen felt that it was inappropriate when he heard this, and asked: "Ama said so, the Zhang family is the kind of person who only wants to keep a low profile, because His Royal Highness asked Zhang Ying to only let the Zhang family all depend on His Highness, if Zhang Ying's father and son have any bad intentions?" ”

It's no wonder that He Shen thinks so much, He Shen is now old and has seen a lot of things, he is not a self-respecting person, he knows that even if he is a slave, he has all kinds of thoughts, not to mention the current power of Zhang Ying's father and son, the prince's unintentional actions have destroyed Zhang Ying's family plan, Zhang Ying is scheming, and he will not have resentment. This situation is not unseen by Heshen.

Although he is not afraid of this kind of thing as the crown prince, but the embankment of thousands of miles is destroyed in the anthill, who knows if the Zhang family will affect the prince? If the Zhang family father and son really have bad intentions, it is impossible to prevent it!

In this regard, Wu Lu shook his head and said: "Zhang Ying is a smart person, and his son must not be stupid, he will not do such a thing that harms others and himself, not to mention that the emperor is watching."

And you also underestimated the prince, Zhang Ying has taught the prince for many years, how can you not know the prince's temperament? Zhang Ying, an old fox, is slippery and slippery, and he knows that the advantages of Zhang Tingyu following the prince outweigh the disadvantages, so he just pushed the boat with the water. ”

Wu Lu also believes that even if Zhang Tingyu has resentment in his heart, it is still very easy to subdue a Zhang Tingyu with the prince's means, just look at this time the prince wrote a post to Zhang Tingyu and asked Zhang Tingyu to visit Heshen, which not only shows that the prince values Zhang Tingyu, but also intends to draw a line between Zhang Tingyu and Heshen, I am afraid it will also make Zhang Tingyu flattered!

He Shen was still a little worried in his heart, so he only said: "That's it, this time my son should first contact this Zhang Tingyu and touch his mind, otherwise my son is really worried!" ”

Wu Lu did not object to He Shen's words, but said: "Don't go too far, if Zhang Tingyu is really a manufacturable material, making friends with such a person will be beneficial to the family and His Royal Highness Niangniang!" ”

He Shen nodded and said, "Ama don't worry, my son is measured." ”

Wu Lu nodded and said, "Okay, that Zhang Tingyu should have already arrived in your study, go over quickly, don't neglect the guests." ”

He Shen retired and returned to his study.

Before he sat down, the little guy outside came to report and said, "Master, the guest is here!" ”

He Shen hurriedly got up and went out to greet him, speaking of which He Shen is now called the second master at home, but the people close to him call him a master, because the reason is naturally that He Shen has become his own son, Wu Lu also ordered the people in the family to change their names, he became the old lady, Ling Tai and Shen became the second master of the eldest master, and the children under him are naturally young masters.

However, although He Shen was called master, he was still not a young man, in order to appear more mature, He Shen deliberately grew a beard, but in front of the visitor, He Shen suddenly felt that he was too young!

He Shen knew that this Zhang Tingyu was born in the eleventh year of Kangxi, six or seven years younger than himself, how could he look older than himself? He Shen even glanced at the little guy who was leading the way next to him, wondering if he had made the wrong person.

He Shen's expression was not obvious, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This is Lord Zhang, the concubine of Zhan Shifu!" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Tingyu hurriedly returned the salute and said: "The lower official Zhang Tingyu has seen the adult, the lower official took the liberty to visit, and please forgive the adult!" ”

After making sure that the person was not mistaken, He Shen slandered Zhang Tingyu's appearance in his heart, and there was no rudeness on his face, so he led Zhang Tingyu into the study and sat down separately as the guest of honor, and He Shen couldn't help but confirm: "Lord Zhang, you look a little old!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became embarrassing, but Zhang Tingyu came over to have a good relationship with He Shen, and hurriedly said: "I am indeed a little old below, don't hide it from adults, I haven't married yet!" No more radiant than adults. Zhang Tingyu's last sentence couldn't help but stab He Shen, after all, Zhang Tingyu is still a little young and vigorous now, and He Shen questioned his appearance at first sight, and he was a little unhappy in his heart!

Zhang Tingyu didn't expect that He Shen was a little sad when he heard it, and he couldn't help touching his face with his hand, Zhang Tingyu couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, wondering if this Lord He had a brain convulsion. Zhang Tingyu was born in the family of eunuchs, and he is usually constrained by etiquette when he gestures, and he has never seen a person like He Shen who talks about his appearance as soon as he meets. I wondered if it was not very reliable to make friends with Heshen, who couldn't wait for the tune.

He Shen quickly reacted that he was still entertaining guests in front of him, and hurriedly said politely: "Lord Zhang doesn't have to be polite, if Lord Zhang doesn't dislike it, let's call it by the words, I look at the word Zhongheng, I don't know how to call the virtuous brother?" ”

Seeing that He Shen had returned to normal, Zhang Tingyu also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied: "In the following table, Brother Zhongheng is polite!" ”

Seeing He Shen's previous moves, Zhang Tingyu lost his intimacy, and hurriedly said his intentions, and said: "Hengchen came this time because he wanted to ask Brother Zhongheng for something, and it was His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

As soon as these words came out, He Shen's face became serious, and he asked seriously: "I don't know what Hengchen is asking?" He Shen knew that Zhang Tingyu was coming, and there was also the prince's post, and the prince must have known about it, and he couldn't ignore it.

Zhang Tingyu hurriedly said: "A few days ago, there was a master of the Zhan Mansion, called Wu Xiu, who did things properly, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince met with this person and encouraged him, but this person said something in front of His Royal Highness who didn't know what to say, and also asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to guard against other princes, His Royal Highness was benevolent by nature, although he was a little angry, but he did not punish him too much, and privately asked Hengchen to check this person, and Hengchen found that this person had a very good relationship with Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan, the other chief bookkeeper of Zhan Mansion. However, the minister didn't know where this Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan came from and what was behind it, so he came to ask Brother Zhong Heng. ”

He Shen didn't expect it to be such a big event, so he couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked, "What did you say, the prince didn't do anything?" Didn't arrest that Wu Xiu either? ”

He Shen only felt ridiculous when he heard it, and he disagreed with the prince's actions very much, the prince's inaction, wouldn't he admit that the master book said what the prince thought in his heart, and He Shen didn't think that the words of the master book would not reach the emperor's ears, so what would the emperor think of His Royal Highness the prince?

What made He Shen even more shocked was that he was really worried that the prince would have such an idea, you must know that among the emperor's princes, in addition to the eldest son who was raised by Niangniang, there was also the prince Yinzuo who was also a son-in-law, could it be that the prince and his mother and brothers were jealous? Thinking of the turmoil caused by the name of the previous prince Yinzuo, He Shen shuddered.

The half-brothers in this palace are not a guarantee, especially in the Tang Dynasty, Taizong's third son Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi, the three of them are also half-brothers, but aren't they fighting for the throne?

He Shen's sudden change of face was beyond Zhang Tingyu's expectations, but Zhang Tingyu quickly reacted, feeling that He Shen's worries were not unreasonable, and he was also shocked in his heart, suspecting that he was too Meng Lang, and he didn't expect this section to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deal with this person in time, if the emperor had a problem with the prince because of this, then what should I do?

However, after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Zhang Tingyu felt that maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already made a plan, and although the person in front of him was His Highness's uncle, there were some things that he didn't want to say much, so he hurriedly reassured: "Brother Zhong Heng, don't worry, Your Highness has his own plans in his heart, this time he didn't immediately dispose of that Wu Xiu, he just wanted to investigate the person behind him, so that he could follow the vine!" ”

He Shen was relieved when he heard this, and said apologetically: "Let Hengchen make you laugh, it's me who is too surprised!" ”

Zhang Tingyu hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, and said, "It's Brother Zhong Heng, you are just thinking about His Highness, how can you be strange?" ”

Both of them tried their best to ignore the past, and then got down to business, mentioning Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan, and He Shen's face was also a lot more serious, and said: "This Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan, born in the side branch of Guo Luoluo's family, he Ama is also a fourth-grade official, but Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan and the concubine in the palace are of the same clan, and the relationship is relatively close.

And not only that, Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan's Eniang was born in the Nala clan, and the Nala clan is a big family, but Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan's Eniang is the aunt of the Nala Concubine in the palace, and the relationship is not far away! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Tingyu frowned, and said, "I don't know that this Nala Concubine is the biological mother of the second elder brother?" ”

He Shen nodded and said solemnly: "Exactly, and I heard from the people in the palace that Concubine De Niangniang and Concubine Nala seem to have been a lot closer recently, and I also ask Hengchen to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the Crown Princess and Niangniang are pregnant, I'm afraid they don't necessarily know this!" ”

Zhang Tingyu sighed in his heart that He Shen's magical powers are vast, and he also remembered He Shen's words in his heart, this kind of harem matter has a lot of influence on the previous dynasty, after all, the second elder brother Yinchu is a brother anyway, even if it is just a concubine, it should not be underestimated, the royal concubine and the concubine of an ordinary family are not the same thing, the royal prince has a chance to ascend the throne regardless of the concubine!

Zhang Tingyu couldn't sit still when he heard the news, and wanted to hurry back to inform the prince, and he was about to leave immediately, but He Shen didn't keep it, but looking at Zhang Tingyu's back as he left, He Shen's face was also gloomy.

He Shen didn't know why the prince suddenly tested himself, yes, it was a temptation, and the prince was still suspicious after all.

Although He Shen hated the person who was talking nonsense in the prince's ear, he also understood that it was not strange for the prince to be suspicious, as I said before, now the emperor loves his concubine very much, but he only has a face-saving affection for his concubine, this kind of scene is somewhat similar to the situation of the sons of Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

Now that Niangniang is pregnant again, it can be seen that the emperor's body is healthy, and the longevity is not short, if Niangniang's child is still the prince, then the prince will have at least two younger brothers who have grown up in the future.

But Heshen is strange, why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think that he may be the eldest grandson Wuji,

However, after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Zhang Tingyu felt that maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already made a plan, and although the person in front of him was His Highness's uncle, there were some things that he didn't want to say much, so he hurriedly reassured: "Brother Zhong Heng, don't worry, Your Highness has his own plans in his heart, this time he didn't immediately dispose of that Wu Xiu, he just wanted to investigate the person behind him, so that he could follow the vine!" ”

Now that Niangniang is pregnant again, it can be seen that the emperor's body is Kangtai, if Niangniang's baby is still the prince, then the prince wants to talk about "The Queen Mother's Upgrade Road" with more like-minded people, WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and finds confidants~
