Wan Ning and Gao Ziang argued for a few words, and finally quieted down.

Zhiyang smiled: "You two don't fight, it makes sense." He wanted to take a sip of tea before continuing, but he thought that something didn't seem right, so he hurriedly explained: "I'm not 'making mud'." Wanning might as well give it a try,——"

Before Zhiyang's words were finished, Wan Ning snorted at her brother proudly.

Gao Ziang was naturally anxious: "Sir-"

Zhiyang stretched out his hand to signal not to speak yet: "Don't worry!" ”

Both of them understood that Zhiyang still had something to say, and they both waited obediently.

Zhiyang enjoyed taking a few sips of tea and said slowly: "But Wanning, Ziang is not wrong at all, you must pay attention to your own safety." Have you ever wondered? Once your identity is revealed, those who framed your father will know your intentions. Will they indulge you in your recklessness? ”

"Master, I've thought about it, find a woman with a good appearance to attract the emperor's attention, and I only stoop down to be her dowry maid. Of course, I want the other girl to be willing, and my intention is not to let the girl die for me. Many officials have seen me, and they won't attack the emperor's concubines or unknown people. When I enter the palace, I naturally have to dress up in disguise, I am just a maid, and the maid in the harem will not have anything to do with the previous dynasty, so naturally no one will recognize me. ”

Zhiyang thoughtfully: "It's not difficult to find a willing woman, there are many women in this world who want to fly on the branches and be a phoenix." But if the matter is exposed, you will be considered a bully in front of the emperor, and at that time, no one will be able to stand up for you! ”

Wan Ning's heart was very firm, so she said: "If this woman is extremely favored, the emperor will not pursue so much, right?" In short, take one step at a time. ”

Gao Ziang, who was sitting next to Wan Ning, glanced at her and said, "Sir, listen to it." She wasn't sure of it herself. ”

"Wanning, you need more people to help you." Zhiyang's words were faint, but in fact, they had already been carefully considered by him. "I understand that although you two serve together in the palace, you are separated from each other. One can't go to the harem, and the other can't go to the front court. Wanning, I'll provide you with someone, and he might be able to help you. ”

"Who?" Wan Ning asked in surprise.

"Gonggong Zhang by the emperor's side."

Wan Ning was even more puzzled: "This person has a relationship with the master?" ”

"The origin is not shallow! He's my own brother. ”

Gao Ziang also asked suspiciously: "You are not a surname, how can you be brothers?" ”

"'Zhi' and 'Zhang', don't you think the pronunciation is very close?"

"It's close."

"At that time, my brother was still serving the first emperor, just because once the emperor asked my brother's surname, my brother replied as 'Zhi', but the emperor heard it as 'Zhang', and he couldn't change it from then on."

"Why did I suddenly think of Zhao Gao's 'pointing deer as a horse'?" Only Wan Ning dared to say this.

The other two just glared at her one after the other.

Zhiyang got up and walked to the window.

"Many years ago, I was still young, my brother was not very old, and the first emperor had not yet ascended the throne. At that time, wars were raging and the people were struggling to make a living. By chance, the Li family, which is now the royal family, rewarded my family with a silver tael, and the family survived those two years. My parents are people who know how to repay their kindness, and life is unsustainable, so my family originally wanted to dedicate my young me to serve the emperor to repay the great kindness of the Li family. But my brother took my place. Because my brother is a little older, he knows more than me. He had already seen what would happen after entering the palace. It is because of my brother's dedication that our family survived, and I had the opportunity to improve. Later, the current saint felt that he was faithful and reliable, so he stayed with him without saying a word. The emperor still doesn't know, in fact, I have a relationship with him. I don't know, anyway, I'm alone now, as long as my brother is better by his side, we are all better off having more than one thing. ”

He told his brother with infinite pain.

"Soon after the Li family sponsored us, the first emperor, the crown prince, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin were born, and I can't watch these three people fall apart in their struggle for power. That's why I didn't want to get involved in their dispute in the first place. ”

After speaking, Zhiyang looked out the window, as if he had forgotten the whole world.

Wan Ning got up, stepped forward to grab Zhiyang, and called softly: "Master." ”

Zhiyang turned around and said, "It's okay, the hardest days are over." Don't stand, let's have tea. ”

The three of them returned to the desk again.

"The emperor has always been quite jealous of the emperor's old ministers, and it must not be easy for Gonggong Zhang to serve the emperor for a long time." Gao Ziang said.

"Actually, my brother couldn't be simpler, and by the emperor's side, he didn't dare to be complicated. It's just that the emperor is using his heart. ”

"Wanning, if you have any difficulties in the future, just mention it to the master, and I will try my best to help you."

Wanning got up and sat next to Zhiyang: "Master treats Wanning best, thank you." ”

Zhiyang patted Gao Ziang's shoulder and said, "How is it?" I'm here, don't you feel at ease? ”

He felt that it was necessary to persuade Gao Ziang for Wan Ning again, so he said: "You have to understand Wan Ning's feelings, the wounds of losing relatives are not so easy to heal." From the moment his father left Chang'an, Wan Ning began to worry. From the suspense at the beginning, then the grief, to the final overwhelm, you must not know how she lived those days and nights. Until now, I'm afraid she's in the middle of the night when no one is around—"

Zhiyang didn't look at Wanning, he already felt her leaning on his shoulder, and seemed to turn his face away, she should be in tears, so she didn't say anything more.

only comforted Gao Ziang: "It's the same man, I understand your feelings." Don't worry, I'll watch her for you. ”

Gao Ziang said gratefully, "Thank you, sir." I'll help Wan Ning find the people she needs. ”

"I'll give you a few clues, you sift through them one by one, pick a suitable one, and don't cause trouble."

Gao Ziang said again: "Thank you, sir. The candidates you offer must be top-notch. ”

After a long time, Wan Ning turned around and said softly: "Brother, don't worry, I will always be your Wan sister." ”

"You haven't come to me for a long time, stay here for dinner at noon, and let me taste Wanning's craftsmanship by the way."

Wanning's bad mood dissipated most of the time with Zhiyang's words, and her tone was a little brisk: "Master, when will I have a master?" If you have a lady to cook for you, you won't complain that there is no woman to cook for you. ”

The expression on Zhiyang's face instantly cooled, as if he was a little displeased.

Gao Ziang saw Zhiyang's displeasure and immediately changed the topic: "Wanning, you still have to worry about your own business." When did you marry in Gaofu? If you don't marry again, I'm going to rob my relatives. ”

"You can't snatch it away, there is a master who makes the decision for me."
