"Worship... Pay homage to His Highness the Princess!" Liu Jianshi, who had collapsed to the ground, got up tremblingly and saluted to the people. At this time, he had no longer had his previous majesty.

Zhang Zong was also stunned at this time, and saw that the person who came was a graceful and luxurious lady, with maids and servants behind him. When he first met the other party, he had not recognized him, but he felt a little familiar. However, when he heard Liu Jianshi's name, he immediately remembered that this lady was the eldest princess he had seen before? He also saved her son's life.

The eldest princess ignored Liu Jianshi at all. Instead, she walked to the stunned Zhang Zong with a smile and said, "Young man farewell that day, but I'm going to have a good time to find you. If my maid hadn't seen you today, I'm afraid you wouldn't have paid back your kindness to save my son!"

"The eldest princess atones for her sins. I also escaped from death that day. I was a little scared and was a little absent-minded. I didn't mean to leave without saying goodbye." Zhang Zong only realized at this time and immediately said that it was the first time that he had formally dealt with the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, so he seemed a little nervous.

"Haha, I'm not blaming you when I visit you today, but it seems that there is something troublesome here?" The eldest princess said, looking at Liu Jianshi who was shaking in a ball. He just heard that Zhang Zong actually saved the eldest princess's son's life, which made him scared his whole body shrink into a ball because he knew that this time he was over.

Zhang Zong also smiled bitterly when he heard this. If the eldest princess had not appeared, he would have been planned by Liu Jianshi and Xu Yalang this time. Not only would he not be able to protect the flower garden, but he would also have a reputation as a deadbeat who owed money and refused to pay it back.

"Come on, give these people to my nephew and ask him to give me an explanation!" At this time, the eldest princess pointed at Liu Jianshi and others. Xu Yalang originally wanted to hide in the crowd, but was pulled out by the eldest princess's guards. The boy was so scared that he didn't even dare to show off, and then he took Liu Jianshi and others away.

"Uh~, Princess, don't ask the reason for the matter?" Zhang Zong was also shocked by the princess's rough methods. He gave it to the prince without asking questions, and asked the other party to explain it. Even if she was the princess, she seemed a little domineering.

"What's the point of asking about this? It's nothing more than collusion between officials and businessmen and illegal things. The young man has a pure personality. He will naturally suffer losses when he encounters such a person. Since this official is from the Eastern Palace, let them deal with it themselves, and they dare not deceive them!" The eldest princess smiled indifferently.

Zhang Zong was even more surprised when he heard this. Although the eldest princess didn't know the inside story, she saw the key point at a glance. It seemed that the nobles of the Tang Dynasty were indeed not easy to mess with.

"Shao'er, come and thank you for saving your benefactor!" At this time, the eldest princess suddenly waved to the side, and saw a handsome young man walking over.

"Xue Shao greets me, thank you for your life-saving kindness!" The young man came to Zhang Zong and saluted him very solemnly.

"You don't have to be polite!" Zhang Zong also recognized that the other party was the boy he had saved before, and he smiled and returned the tribute. However, as soon as he said, he was stunned and said with an incredible look on his face, "You... your name is Xue Shao?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Xue Shao was also startled by Zhang Zong, who was shocked and asked in surprise.

"No... nothing, your surname is Xue, the title of the eldest princess must be the famous Princess Chengyang!" Zhang Zong hurriedly covered up, and at the end he also looked at Princess Chengyang next to him, and the other party smiled and nodded, which confirmed his guess, which made Zhang Zong's heart even more.

There is also a difference between princesses. For example, some princesses' mothers are just ordinary palace maids, while some princesses' mothers are queens. The eldest princess Chengyang is one of the most prominent princesses because her mother is Empress Changsun, and the current emperor Li Zhi is the elder brother of her mother.

In addition, Princess Chengyang has another identity in history, that is Princess Taiping's mother-in-law, and Xue Shao next to him is Princess Taiping's first husband.

However, Xue Shaoke died in history so miserably. Although he married Princess Taiping, it is said that Princess Chengyang was incompatible with Wu Zetian. Therefore, as soon as Li Zhi died, Xue Shao was taken to prison by Wu Zetian. He was tortured by the cruel official Lai Junchen, and finally starved to death in prison. At that time, Princess Taiping was pregnant with his fourth child.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zong couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the Xue Shao next to him, and even thought strangely that perhaps when Xue Shao suffered all the tortures in prison many years later, he might blame himself for saving his life. After all, it would be better to be drowned early than tortures and starves to death.

"Greetings to Your Highness, Princess Chengyang!" Zhang Zong bowed again.

"No need to be polite!" Princess Chengyang was quite kind, and seemed to have looked around, and then asked casually, "Is Mr. Zhang okay?"

"My father?" This was the second time Zhang Zong heard others call his father 'Scholar Zhang', but he was stunned for a moment before he reacted and replied, "My father has passed away!"

"Diet!" When the eldest princess heard the news, the smile on her face froze. After a while, she sighed with a sad expression, "When did it happen?"

"Last winter, I fell into Qujiang Pool drunk." Zhang Zong replied again, but then he asked curiously, "Does His Highness the Princess know my father? Has he been an official before?"

"Didn't your father tell you?" The eldest princess was stunned when she heard Zhang Zong's question.

"No, since I was sensible, I was locked up in the study by my father most of the time. He rarely told me about his past events." Zhang Zong shook his head and said.

"He doesn't want to tell you it's for your own good. After all, the matter was too involved back then. It's not good for you to know. It's better not to know anything!" What Zhang Zong never expected was that after a moment of silence, the eldest princess said the same thing as Sun Jiangtou of Furong Garden.

But the more others were reluctant to say it, the more curious Zhang Zong was. He didn't expect that his cheap father was not a simple person, and the bachelor's degree must be an official position. He even knew this noble princess, which made Zhang Zong feel even more itchy.

"Come on, bring the thank you gift in!" Princess Chengyang seemed unwilling to discuss Zhang Zong's father again, and immediately spoke up again. Then the servants outside immediately carried more than a dozen large boxes in, all of which were thank you gifts prepared for Zhang Zong.

Seeing so many thank-you gifts, Zhang Zong was also startled and refused: "Your Highness, Princess, you are so polite. I don't save people for these reasons, and these gifts are too expensive!"

"You little husband, don't refuse. You saved Shao'er's life. What's the point of just a little thank you? And my father and I are old acquaintances. These gifts are just treated as a gift from my elder to you, the younger generation!" Princess Chengyang waved her hand generously.

In fact, from the matter of Princess Chengyang dealing with Liu Jianshi just now, it can be seen that the princess has a generous personality and is even a little careless. It is estimated that this is related to the open and inclusive atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty and the improvement of the status of women.

Zhang Zong wanted to refuse, but Princess Chengyang interrupted him and said, "Why, the guest is here, don't you invite us mother and son to come in and sit?"

"I'm so rude. Please, Princess and Prince!" Zhang Zong had no choice but to speak when he heard this. After saying that, he personally led the way to invite Princess Chengyang and Xue Shao to enter the living room together.

There is no tea at home. Fortunately, the jasmine flowers planted before have grown a lot of buds. Zhang Zong picked some and stir-fried them dry. Unfortunately, there is no tea leaves, otherwise it could be made into jasmine tea. However, jasmine can barely be made into tea. The buds that bloomed with hot water emitted a faint jasmine fragrance, which is quite attractive.

"This flower tea is good, it is worthy of being a scholarly family. A small cup of tea can be so elegant!" Princess Chengyang tasted the flower tea and immediately praised. Xue Shao next to him was also tasting the tea in small mouthfuls. In addition to thanking Zhang Zong just now, he kept staying with his mother honestly, as if he was a little unrighteous in speaking.

"How did the eldest princess know my father, he used to..."

Zhang Zong wanted to take this opportunity to ask his father about his past, but he didn't expect that he was interrupted by the eldest princess, "How old is the little man? Are you married?"

Seeing that the other party was clearly unwilling to tell him what happened back then, Zhang Zong was very helpless and had to answer: "I just turned fifteen this year and I am not married yet!"

"I am already an adult in the fifteenth century, and it is time for my little husband to talk about marriage. I wonder if you have a suitable woman. If there is, I will help you become a matchmaker. If there is no, I can also pay attention to you!" Princess Chengyang pulled the family and said, as if she really regarded herself as Zhang Zong's elder.

Zhang Zong was also embarrassed when he heard this. Although the fifteenth year of ancient times was considered an adult, in his opinion, he was only fifteen but had just graduated from junior high school and got married too early, so he hurriedly refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't have any plans to get married yet."

When Princess Chengyang heard that Zhang Zong had an unintentional marriage, she did not force her too much, but talked about family matters with Zhang Zong. Zhang Zong was not humble or arrogant, and his words and deeds were also polite, which surprised Princess Chengyang. After all, Zhang Zong was just a fifteen-year-old boy. It was beyond her expectations that she could perform in front of her, the eldest princess.

At this moment, someone suddenly came in and reported to Princess Chengyang: "Your Highness, Princess, the Crown Prince is bringing people!"
