C225 – Afraid of

The morning meeting was as full of life as ever. Zhan Yuanfeng praised all of the officers who returned to the capital one after the other. The officers who have been initially drained from the lengthy journey broke into smiles and straightened their again.

Zuo Shaoqing yawned 3 times in a row. His place was nonetheless inconspicuous, so he didn’t want to fret concerning the one on the dragon throne seeing him.

“Everybody, thanks to your laborious work. As we speak, I’ll return and take an excellent relaxation. I’ll report back to my Ministry of Personnel tomorrow.” Zhan Yuanfeng mentioned considerately.

Zuo Shaoqing secretly seemed in direction of Jiang Che’s location and solely noticed the again of an individual. He didn’t know if it was simply an phantasm or not, however it was apparent that this individual had modified so much previously few months.

He nonetheless remembered when he first arrived within the capital, Jiang Che, who was nonetheless an assistant minister, was in excessive spirits. He was well-off whereas standing in entrance of all the highest geniuses within the Nice Yang, however when he checked out Jiang Che’s again now, he appeared a bit of unhappy.

Was it as a result of he had simply left his spouse? Was he actually in love together with his spouse?

Zuo Shaoqing shook his head and felt that he was overthinking it.

Simply as his thoughts drifted away, the chamberlain loudly introduced his departure, after which he heard Zhan Yuanfeng say: “Lu Aiqing and Zuo Aiguo keep behind and focus on issues with me concerning the navy.”

Everybody was already used to Grasp Lu being revered by the emperor. As for the opposite individual, they simply handled it as a bonus and didn’t care about it.

When the information of Zuo Shaoqing’s promotion to Crane Metropolis Prefect was unfold out, everybody might solely say that this individual’s luck was actually good. Some folks have been jealous of their hearts: didn’t he marry a person out of shame? In any other case, how might a brat stand up so quick?

Zuo Shaoqing ignored the confused gazes round him, walked as much as Lu Zheng and took the initiative to carry his hand, giving him a candy smile.

Instantly, the encircling folks coldly snorted. There was no have to ask, it was positively an official who had by no means seen the couple showcase their love for one another earlier than getting back from exterior.

The pair of husband and husband didn’t even look at these folks as they rapidly adopted Zhan Yuanfeng. Their fiery gazes have been all the time following behind them, making folks really feel uneasy.

As he adopted Zhan Yuanfeng, Zuo Shaoqing was having fun with the attractive surroundings of the palace with nice curiosity. Though it was winter and the moon was shining, the flowers and bushes within the palace have been nonetheless rising properly.

“Go and get some tea. Our Spouse of Duke Zhen might be hungry.” Zhan Yuanfeng lifted his garments and sat down on a stone stool coated with beast skins as he instructed the attendant on the aspect.

Zuo Shaoqing’s face darkened when he heard the phrases “Spouse of Duke Zhen”, however he didn’t have the heart to appropriate the best way Spouse of Duke Zhen known as him.

“Sit down. We haven’t seen one another for a very long time, let’s have an excellent chat. We’ll be staying for lunch on the palace.”

“Thanks, your majesty!” Lu Zheng and Zuo Shaoqing answered in unison.

Zuo Shaoqing knew that he was simply there as a foil. After the tea was served, he began to eat with no hint of politeness. Whereas listening to the dialog between the 2, he additionally loved the attractive surroundings of the backyard.

It was widespread to listen to that there was multiple imperial backyard within the imperial palace. At this second, the backyard they have been in was full of plum blossoms that have been in bloom.

The pavilion they have been in was surrounded by screens. Inside, there was a charcoal brazier with traces of heat.New novel chapters are revealed on

The gorgeous surroundings of fine morning, additionally has scrumptious pastry wealthy aromatic sizzling tea, Zuo Shaoqing’s temper exhibits a qualitative leap.

Seeing that Zuo Shaoqing’s eyes have been filled with smiles, Zhan Yuanfeng joked, “If Minister Zuo likes the plum blossoms on this backyard, how about you carry a number of stalks of them with you whenever you go away?”

“Many thanks for the emperor’s reward. Then this humble topic gained’t be well mannered!” Zuo Shaoqing replied and began to plan the place to go.

Zhan Yuanfeng choked. It’s not that he was stingy, however shouldn’t an atypical official reject him first after listening to this?

“Haha …” Zuo Shaoqing laughed dryly, “This humble topic doesn’t know, however I can ask the following time I see him.”

“Aiya, I forgot that the lady is my beloved elder sister.” Zhan Yuanfeng waved his hand and mentioned, “No approach, I do know that your sister is now Minister Jiang’s spouse. We are able to speak about this in non-public, but when another person hears about it, gained’t it smash Jiang Younger Madame’s repute?” Such a suggestion would positively carry up Cao Zongguan’s sorrows, so it was finest to not point out it.

“The Emperor’s phrases are extraordinarily true!” Zuo Shaoqing coated it with a big hat, “For the emperor to suppose so extremely of this topic is the fortune of 100 officers!”

“After all. The explanation why I agreed to your request was as a result of I didn’t need you to like me. That not solely betrayed the belief you had in me, however it additionally made the world lose some lovely phrases.”

What thick pores and skin! This was the primary time Zuo Shaoqing had a protracted dialog with Zhan Yuanfeng. No marvel folks mentioned that he was a smiling tiger with such deep abilities.

“Your majesty’s nice kindness, this topic and Grasp Lu have all the time stored it in thoughts, and can always remember it!”

“My beloved one is severe. So long as all of you’ll be able to work diligently for the folks and never stand towards me, then it will be thought-about as you repaying me the very best.”

“Your majesty actually is a kind-hearted commoner. No marvel the commoners all praised you to your brilliance whenever you have been talked about!”

Though Zhan Yuanfeng was flattered to the purpose of being bodily and mentally snug, the subject was getting increasingly out of hand. He mentioned a number of righteous and benevolent phrases, then modified the subject, “I do know that it is extremely tough to make the folks beneath heaven sincerely submit. I don’t know what number of rebels like Prince Ruiqing are left.”

“Your Majesty is overthinking.” Zuo Shaoqing secretly glanced at Lu Zheng. He suspected that Zhan Yuanfeng’s fixed point out of treason was hinting at one thing?

“Fortuitously, he’s not an incurable individual among the many traitors. Such as you mentioned simply now, so long as he sincerely repents, I’ll let bygones be bygones.”

Zuo Shaoqing had already heard that Cao Zongguan had entered the Crown Prince. Presumably, Zhan Yuanfeng hadn’t severely punished Zuo Shaoqing. In any other case, for Zuo Shaoqing, it will be a light-weight punishment if he was unable to go the Imperial Examinations as a consequence of his crime.

“Brother Cao is a person of nice righteousness. He will certainly perceive the Emperor’s intentions.”

No marvel! Zhan Yuanfeng considered a sure somebody’s stern face and thought, “Listening to what my beloved one mentioned, I want to meet your good buddy in non-public. How about you make the preparations?”

“Huh?” Zuo Shaoqing was shocked and confused, “This…” What was happening?

“Sigh, I’ve been residing within the palace for a very long time. I’ve a craving in direction of the folks, so I’d as properly take this chance to take a stroll with my beloved one.”

Zuo Shaoqing was nonetheless occupied with learn how to reply when Lu Zheng, who was on the aspect, answered first, “The protection of the emperor is said to the nation. How can we take the danger?” his gloomy face, one might inform that he didn’t agree.

“With a dignified Duke Zhen accompanying you, if I’m nonetheless nervous about your security, then Duke Zhen would actually let down your standing.”

Zuo Shaoqing solely thought that he was uninterested on this cage-like palace and wished to exit to loosen up. Thus, he secretly pulled on Lu Zheng’s sleeve, indicating that he agreed.

“How about… “I didn’t go far. I used to be simply going to sit at Duke Zhen Manor?” The purpose was to fulfill somebody who was hiding from him.

Talking of which, he might summon an individual into the palace with an imperial edict, however the state of affairs had been tense just lately. That individual averted him like a snake or a scorpion, so if he tried to power his approach in, it will solely backfire.

Furthermore, they often solely met at evening, so their interplay was restricted. They actually wished to see how he often seemed like.

Lu Zheng noticed his abnormality in the present day and made a daring guess. Nonetheless, whether or not it was true or not, he nonetheless needed to personally expertise it. Thus, he nodded and mentioned: “That is nonetheless okay!”

The smile on Zhan Yuanfeng’s face turned brighter and brighter, “Then let’s set it for tomorrow afternoon. It has been a very long time since I final noticed my cousin.”

Zuo Shaoqing felt that Zhan Yuanfeng’s smile was too dazzling and shiny. He actually didn’t know what to be glad about. May the madame’s enchantment be that nice?
