Chapter 182
Zhang Changzong rode his horse out of Jiucheng Palace and went to Princess Taiping's other career. The horse was not fast or slow. As for the palace, there were basically no pedestrians nearby except for the guards, and it was early in the morning.
Wait, he seemed to see an acquaintance!
Zhang Changzong turned his horse's head, ran back a few steps, and shouted at a group of children who were obviously from wealthy families in front of him: "Xue Chongjian, this early morning, you are not studying at home, where are you going to be free and easy?"
Walking among a group of children, it was obvious that Xue Chongjian, who saw Zhang Changzong coming from afar, turned around, showed his face from the group of children, and smiled: "Brother Liulang is old, have you just come out of the palace? I heard that Brother Liulang hunted a wild buffalo in the early morning and offered it to His Majesty. Seeing Brother Liulang's face full of glory, I think His Majesty was extremely satisfied, but he rewarded Brother Liulang?"
Zhang Changzong glanced at the group of children now. Most of them were Xue Chongjian’s usual playmates, so he felt relieved and said happily: “Speak first, and beat the world… It seems that you remember what I taught in the past, but if you play this in front of me, you forgot who taught these? Answer my question!”
Xue Chongjian pursed his lips and said depressedly: "I think it's still early and the sun is not big, so I want to play polo with my cousins. Will Brother Liulang participate?"
In order to practice riding, Zhang Changzong played very well in polo, and Xue Chongjian learned polo from him. Zhang Changzong shook his head and asked again: "Have you ever reported to his adopted mother?"
Xue Chongjian curled his lips and turned his head and said in a muffled voice: "I told my sister that I had just come out, so my mother has no time to pay attention to me."
Zhang Changzong was speechless, sighed silently in his heart, and said, "I am going to learn piano with your sister today. I have no time. Let's go tomorrow. Tomorrow, you will have an appointment with your friends tomorrow, let's have a fight."
Upon hearing this, Xue Chongjian immediately showed a happy expression on his face, and he focused his head: "Brother Liulang, let's go first."
Zhang Changzong nodded with a smile, and did not forget to remind him: "I'll come back after a fight. The summer heat is strong, so be careful of heatstroke."
"Well, Brother Liulang, don't worry."
Xue Chongjian and his friends bowed to Zhang Changzong, and then called their friends to run away. Then Zhang Changzong turned his horse and continued to go to Princess Taiping's other career.
He got off the horse in front of the horse tying stake and threw the reins to Huawei. After the doorman reported it, Zhang Changzong walked in lightly. When he passed through the corridor and alley, he saw Princess Taiping and others sailing in the lake in the garden. He didn't have to look at the faces of those people, just looking at their clothes and dresses, he knew that he must be a handsome young man.
Zhang Changzong scratched his face and chose to go over, but he did not go directly as usual. Instead, he stopped to the outside world and asked someone to inform him if Princess Taiping wanted to see him. After all, it was a mother and son. If he met by chance, he didn't even have a gift, it would be unconventional.
Princess Taiping lazily leaned on the beauty couch in the pleasure boat. A young man in red was kneeling beside the couch to beat her legs, holding a small wine pot in his hand, and didn't drink it. She just shook it gently, her eyes closed, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Your Highness, Liulang is here. Seeing your Highness here, I come to ask you for your goodbye. Do you want to see him?"
Princess Taiping suddenly opened her eyes and then suddenly said, "I actually forgot that today is the day when he came to practice piano with Xiu'er. I haven't seen him for a few days. Let him come over. Shiyilang, you guys go down first."
"Your Highness!"
The handsome boy named Shiyilang shouted in a greasy and delicate voice, pouting a little unhappy. Princess Taiping looked stern: "Go down."
Shiyilang paused and did not dare to act coquettishly anymore. He responded obediently, stood up and got off the pleasure boat with his male lovers. He knew that the so-called Liulang was the adopted son of His Royal Highness of the Princess, a famous talented man in the two capitals, and he has a reputation as a prodigy since he was a child. He heard that he was good at riding and shooting martial arts, but he was a handsome man who was not very old, but he was already famous. The young ladies in the two capitals liked to talk about him. If they met him and went out, they would secretly look at him.
"Go from here!"
The in charge of the affairs Mrs. Luo reminded him, and Shiyilang paused and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhang Changzong standing on the other side of the road.
"Seleven Lang!"
Lady Luo urged, and Shiyilang glanced at Zhang Changzong from afar, immediately lowered his head, and walked with the people who were serving the princess together to look at their houses.
Zhang Changzong was not interested in seeing what Princess Taiping's male favorite looked like, nor did he care about who it was. Anyway, as long as it was not his Zhang brothers, he would look at Princess Taiping in the distance. After giving birth to Chongzhen a few years ago, Princess Taiping began to lose weight. She was so plump that she could hardly hold her clothes up, and she was almost entirely supported by a spirit.
Zhang Changzong was not easy to persuade him, so he had to go with Xue Chongxiu. The two of them were worried about her food and clothing, and tried every means to make her eat more food. However, the effect was limited.
In the end, Mrs. Zheng was very clear and advised him to ask his mother Wei to go to the mansion. Both of them were both husbands and had a posthumous son. In some places, they had a common language. Furthermore, Wei was so enthusiastic and smart, and he was very good at experiencing the world. In this way, Princess Taiping's situation was better, at least, she was no longer as thin as she felt distressed.
"Changzong pays homage to his righteous mother."
After Princess Taiping sent someone to invite him over, Zhang Changzong went up to the pleasure boat and gave a greeting first. Then he glanced at Princess Taiping and nodded with satisfaction: "The adopted mother looks a little thinner than the previous few days. This is better, the adopted mother must keep it."
Princess Taiping looked at Zhang Changzong walking in with soft eyes. When she heard this, her kind expression was unhappy in an instant. She also said with a stinking face without any concealment: "You two bad kids are in charge of me all day long. You are not allowed to eat this or that, so there is no reason not to lose weight."
A few years ago, I was worried that she was too thin, but in recent years, I was worried that she was too fat. There were not many people with their Li family who lived longevity. When they became fat, they were even more afraid that she would be like her father, Emperor Gaozong. Seeing that she was getting older and her figure became plump, Xue Chongxiu began to worry about her mother's figure again, and even brought Zhang Changzong together to supervise Princess Taiping to lose weight and keep her body healthy.
Zhang Changzong laughed, and without waiting for Princess Taiping to call him to sit down, he ran to the beauty couch and sat down. He smiled and looked up: "My adopted mother must have been lazy these days and looked less in the mirror. Otherwise, why wouldn't she find that she has lost weight in the past few days and looks much better than before? It seems that she can only trouble Madam Zhang to remind her more in the future."
Madam Zhang smiled and said respectfully: "What Liu Lang said is that the old slave was negligent, so I will remind Your Highness more in the future."
"You guys!"
Princess Taiping was amused by the two of them. Her eyebrows and eyes looked much happier than before. She said a few words and cared about Zhang Changzong: "After studying with Xiu'er for so many years, Xiu'er said that you can become a teacher?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Changzong couldn't help but feel bitter and said to Princess Taiping with a pitiful look on her face: "When it comes to this, your adopted mother, you want to help me! Sister Xiu'er cheated me, but she cheated me hard!"
Princess Taiping said unexpectedly: "Care you? Why did Xiu'er cheat you?"
Zhang Changzong accused: "Isn't it good for me to learn singing all the time? If you want to say, then learn a musical instrument. Learn better. In the future, everyone will not let me sing. However, I have no foundation in musical instruments. I want to say that Sister Xiu'er is a big expert, so I ask her and ask her to give me an idea. I also specifically told her to learn it simple and easy. She told me that the hundred-day flute and the thousand-day flute are easy. Just let me learn the flute, and learn the same, and you will know the other ones. In the future, when you go out, you will be nice and beautiful, and you will also be able to carry it."
"puff--"
Princess Taiping couldn't help laughing out loud and asked, "So, have you really learned the flute and the flute?"
Zhang Changzong nodded, with a bitter face: "Eight years! Eight years, my adopted mother, what Changzong wants is enough to fool people. Isn't it okay to just fool people for eight years? Isn't it okay to let me go? You said, when will this be the head?"
Princess Taiping looked up and laughed, "I asked you how you learned, you kept stammering and refused to say that there was such a reason inside. Let's go and take a look with you and ask Xiu'er when you can get a master!"
Zhang Changzong looked grateful: "Thank you, my elder mother! You are Changzong's great benefactor!"
