In the Qianqing Palace, Dai Yi told him about the process of going to Renshou Palace.

“…… Did the imperial grandmother just ask about my body? It seems that the imperial grandmother still cares about me very much, and she is dedicated to my good. ”

Zhu Youzhu listened to Dai Yi's words, and felt a strong family affection for his grandmother.

Dai Yi said with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty, seeing that your spirit is getting clearer day by day, the slaves and maids are very happy, I believe that the Empress Dowager and her old people are also most concerned about this, and they want to ask Mr. Zhang for inquiries." ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded: "What about Bingkuan?" ”

Dai Yi said: "Send someone to send him to Qingning Palace, saying that he wants to reserve the direction of the copper pipe to enter the water on the wall, and he must guide this matter." ”

Zhu Youzhu sighed and said: "I said that I wouldn't delay him in preparing for the exam, and I summoned him into the palace to delay the time, so I couldn't help it, see if there was anything suitable, and send him some over." ”

Dai Yi hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, you have rewarded Mr. Zhang a lot recently, there is really no need to ......."

"Really?"

Zhu Youzhu didn't remember what he had given Zhang Zhou, after all, it wasn't he who handled it, but Dai Yi, the palace stewards, was more concerned.

After all, those things, if the emperor doesn't use them, they will basically be usurped by them.

The emperor was simply picking between their teeth.

In terms of distress, it is still distressed by the eunuchs in power.

"Your Majesty, since Mr. Zhang wants to prepare for the exam, it would be better to send him some books, which will be beneficial to him for the exam." Dai Yi proposed.

"Yes. You go ahead and do it, how about the prince's side? It's coming out in the next few days, and it won't go back to the past, and the wild is untamable, right? ”

Zhu Youzhu had a headache when he thought of that son.

However, his son can make up for the homework that others can complete in one or two months in more than ten days, and the father is at least very proud of his son's intelligence.

Dai Yi said: "The prince has been fine recently, but ......"

"What's it?" Seeing Dai Yi's embarrassed look, Zhu Youzhu probably guessed that the prince didn't do anything good.

Dai Yi smiled bitterly and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he ...... It's just a little noisy when I'm not studying......"

"Can he not make a fuss one day? In those days, I also deliberately honed him, so I let him relax for a few days, and then discipline him strictly when I go back, and it would be good if Bingkuan could be admitted to the Jinshi earlier......"

Dai Yi listened.

The emperor is unclear, and he wants Zhang Zhou to be admitted to the Jinshi, no matter how many times he is, he will be stuffed into the Hanlin Academy and become an official in the East Palace?

……

……

In recent days, Zhu Houzhao has been watching shadow puppet plays.

This shadow puppet show was not brought over by Zhang Zhou, but Liu Jin.

Liu Jin thought about Zhang Zhou's means of coaxing Zhu Houzhao, and after summing up, he specially found a shadow puppet craftsman from outside the palace and created a set of things.

This trick really works.

For Zhu Houzhao, this shadow puppet show is equivalent to a cartoon, although the plot is old-fashioned, Zhu Houzhao still relishes it.

But Zhu Houzhao's patience in doing things is three minutes of heat.

Within two days, Zhu Houzhao got tired of watching.

On the same day, Zhang Zhou entered the palace to see the Empress Dowager Zhou, and when he was about to leave the palace, Dai Yi also told him that the emperor asked him to meet the crown prince, and after a little restraint, Zhang Zhou went.

I ran into Zhu Houzhao watching a shadow puppet show there, which is probably the reason why Dai Yi said that "the prince is a little noisy".

"Mr. Zhang, do you think this thing is interesting? The main palace was brought back by someone! It cost a lot of money. ”

For Zhu Houzhao, whether it is fun or not is secondary, and he bragged to Zhang Zhou first.

Don't think that if you have something good, this palace will show you the awesome things that this palace has picked up by herself.

Zhang Zhou smiled: "There are many shadow plays, there are many folks, and the minister has seen them before." ”

"You've seen it?" Zhu Houzhao was surprised.

Then he glared at Liu Jin viciously.

You old eunuch, it's not that this thing is rare in the world, but also how expensive this set is, so that this palace spent hundreds of taels of silver...... The money still came from the two uncles of the main palace.

Feelings are cheating funds?

Liu Jin looked aggrieved, but he couldn't help but peek at Zhang Zhou sideways, as if he was blaming Zhang Zhou for exposing his money-making method.

Zhang Zhoudao: "It's not only a shadow play, but also a plot, just like a script, if there is a good script, it will be a lot more exciting." ”

"That'...... It seems to be. ”

Zhu Houzhao instantly smiled again, "Let's just say that you have the ability." Where's the show? ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "I'll ask Zhu Feng to bring it to you when I turn around, and I always have to give the minister time to write, right?" ”

"Then you hurry back and write, and this palace won't bother you today...... Come and send it to Zhang Qing's house. ”

Knowing that Zhang Zhou had a shadow puppet script, Zhu Houzhao didn't care about asking Zhang Zhou to play with him, and directly found someone to send Zhang Zhou out of the palace.

Meaning:

You go back and write it now, and send it to the palace when you finish writing, and the palace doesn't want to delay for a moment.

……

……

Liu Jin became the one who sent Zhang Zhou out of the palace.

On the way, Liu Jin didn't say a word, he was extremely annoyed in his heart, and he hated to dismantle Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "Gonggong Liu, you brought this thing in for the prince, aren't you afraid of being blamed by Your Majesty?" ”

Liu Jin didn't stop at his feet, and glanced sideways at Zhang Zhou.

He still had some disdain in his heart.

If you give the prince to play, we can't do it? Do you think Your Majesty will come to the East Palace every day to see what the prince is doing? If you fall out of favor, you say you have fallen out of favor! What kind of tricks are you playing tricks behind your back?

Zhang Zhoudao: "Things are good things, I'm afraid that the prince won't have a long play, just like the previous sand table exercise, you see that it's only been a few days, and the prince is not interested." In this way, I'll help Gonggong Liu. ”

Liu Jin said in a tone that was neither yin nor yang: "Thank you very much." ”

"It's all to make the prince happy, why be polite?"

There can be a lot of books that Zhang Zhou wants to write for the prince, such as "Journey to the West" or "King Kong Gourd Baby", or plots such as Nezha and the sea.

Playing with the prince is still secondary, and the focus is ...... Let Liu Jin know what the difference between people is.

There is also the difference between playing and playing.

Otherwise, this old boy must have thought that he could coax the prince to play by himself, and he didn't have to be responsible.

"Father-in-law Liu, I have a script here, but I am afraid that the materials for making shadow dramas must be made by experts, is this funding ......?"

"What's the matter, Mr. Zhang, you still plan to take care of yourself?"

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "Gonggong Liu has procured for His Royal Highness before, so he naturally has experience and channels, so it's better to write a book, and you will provide materials." Take what you need, don't you think? ”

"This ......"

Liu Jin pondered and made it profitable.

The previous pile of rags and gadgets were reimbursed by Zhu Houzhao for a hundred taels, and if Zhang Zhou gave him another errand, he would indeed be able to earn a lot.

"Okay."

"Then did Grandpa Liu introduce people to me? Don't worry, I only gave him a book, and he did a good job and contacted Grandpa Liu directly, and the production cost or something was all discussed by Grandpa Liu. ”

"Good, good!"

Liu Jin naturally thinks this proposal is good.

In recent years, there are many people playing shadow puppets on the street, and if Zhang Zhou really wants to do it himself, just find someone casually, he will be worried.

Now he is equivalent to shadow puppetry, with him as the main player, and Zhang Zhou is only an assistant.

……

……

Two days later, in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhu was receiving Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

What was discussed was the autumn report to be held a few days later, that is, some details of the autumn sacrifice activities, because Xu Qiong had an in-law relationship with Empress Zhang's family, and after becoming the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he was one of the few ministers who could often enter and leave the Qianqing Palace.

Just after the discussion, let Xu Qiong be sent away.

Xiao Jing came over here and said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent someone to say that she wanted to hold a Jiao Festival in the palace during the autumn report to drive away the evil spirit in the palace, and also said that she wanted to let the wife in Beijing enter the palace and gossip." ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "Doesn't the imperial grandmother believe in Buddhism? ”

Dai Yi on the side smiled: "Isn't this Mr. Zhang a Taoist family?" Mr. Zhang had anticipated the Qingning Palace disaster and kept the Empress Dowager safe, and the Empress Dowager may also want to follow His Majesty's wishes. ”

Zhu Youzhu believes in Buddhism or not, which is well known to everyone in the palace.

It was nothing to hold a Jiao ceremony in the palace as a dojo, but it was only because this matter was raised by the Empress Dowager Zhou, who had always believed in Buddhism, that Zhu Youzhu felt strange.

Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager also made a special name and asked Mr. Zhang to go with him that day." ”

"He's not going to do that."

Zhu Youzhi had mentioned to Zhang Zhou before that he wanted to do things in the palace, but Zhang Zhou refused on the grounds that he would not know.

Being able to refuse one thing so completely is exactly what Zhu Youji's trust in Zhang Zhou is, if Zhang Zhou says that he can do anything, the emperor will wonder if Zhang Zhou has a plan.

The more Zhang Zhou gags and prevaricates when he has nothing to do, the more convinced Zhu Youzhu becomes.

Xiao Jing smiled bitterly: "The slave maid also said this to the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager still insisted on letting him go, and said with a smile that if she met a suitable famous lady, she would match him ......"

"This ......"

Zhu Youzhu was even more speechless, "I really don't know what to say about the emperor's grandmother, Bingkuan has already started a family, how can you care about this?" Besides, they are all ordered women to enter the palace, how can there be any unmarried ladies? Forget it, follow the meaning of the imperial grandmother and make arrangements. ”

"Yes."

Xiao Jing didn't know what to do, but just asked for instructions according to the instructions of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

And Dai Yi on the side showed some strange looks in his eyes.

Dai Yi can be the eunuch of the celebrant and the seal of the seal, and his thinking is naturally superior to Xiao Jing and others, especially when he sent Zhang Zhou to Renshou Palace two days ago, he went in person.

All kinds of associations.

The old lady had just seen Zhang Zhou, and immediately went uncharacteristically to summon the woman into the palace, and seemed to intend to call them together with those famous ladies who were not married, and let Zhang Zhou go by name...... Could it be that something has already begun, and the purpose of Zhang Zhou's visit is to check the gates?

Dai Yixin said, this thing is quite evil.

But isn't it too rushed? I'm afraid I can't hide the Queen of Daming, the lord of the six palaces!

……

……

Outside the palace.

In his workshop, Zhang Zhou met an old craftsman brought by Zhu Feng.

It was the person who had previously supplied Liu Jin with shadow puppet materials.

Zhang Zhoudao: "We are all doing things for the same person, that is the father-in-law Liu, don't be verbose, in addition to the material of the shadow show here, I also have a good gimmick, do you think it can be made?" ”

"This man, what you said, the little one doesn't understand."

The craftsman had done his whole life of handiwork, and he had never heard such a strange request.

Zhang Zhou took out the drawings he had drawn, still in color: "See if you can do it?" ”

"So clear, sir, you are also doing this? You can just find a few pieces of skin and draw them yourself, why bother looking for small ones? ”

"It's different."

Zhang Zhou had an inexplicable evil smile on his face, "I have a better one here, that is, the live-action version of the line, if you can cut it out, go to that Liu Gonggong and say it, he will definitely be happy and abnormal, and he will definitely reward you well!" ”
