Chapter 237 - I Invited You Here to Tell You Something
After leaving the palace, Zuo Shaoqing pulled Zuo Xiaolang onto the same carriage and interrogated him thoroughly about what happened tonight.
After asking, Zuo Shaoqing was not in a good mood, and reflexively said: “Could it be that my control is too strict? Shouldn't be restricting you from eating meat? “
Zuo Xiaolang had followed the old mistress to the women's quarters. After waiting for a long time, they did not serve any dishes, only some tea and pastries. The old mistress was afraid of her grandson's hunger, so she ordered someone to serve the dishes first.
Zuo Xiaolang was very moved when he saw the plate, but he was a bit disappointed when he actually ate it. Luckily, as long as it was meat, he didn't pick it up. Although the taste wasn't as good as he imagined, he still enjoyed it.
All the other children were controlled by their mothers. In order to maintain the etiquette, they basically didn't touch anything to eat. Then, they all stared at Zuo Xiaolang, who was eating happily.
It was at that time that Young Prince noticed Zuo Xiaolang. He knew about the taste of the dishes at the palace feast. Every year, he would go back and have another meal.
He thought it was because the taste of the dish had improved this year, so he picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. He thought it was because the taste of the dish had improved this year, so he took a bite of the meat into his mouth.
Zuo Xiaolang was the only one who was most unwilling to share meat with others. However, his father had taught him to be open-minded, so he endured the heartache and gave him the smallest piece of meat.
Young Prince didn't care about the size and directly stuffed it into his mouth. In the end, it tasted exactly the same as his plate, “It's so bad, why can you still eat it?”
Zuo Xiaolang replied modestly: “We can't waste meat… It was taught to me by my father! ” In actuality, if Zuo Shaoqing was present, he wouldn't have allowed him to eat like this.
The madame was surrounded and had no control over him, so Zuo Xiaolang just sat there and ate in silence …
Young Prince felt that this child was too sensible and was very tenacious, so he couldn't bear to be eaten by ordinary people. Watching him eat it bit by bit, Young Prince couldn't help but ask: “Do you want me to take you out for some good food?”
“Is it better than this?” Zuo Xiaolang put down his chopsticks and asked in anticipation. Honestly speaking, after eating the culinary skills of a chef from the Wu Steel Manor, this kind of dish was really hard to eat.
“Of course.” Thus, the two of them sneaked out of the main hall and headed towards Young Prince's residence.
Young Prince also had his own kitchen. At this moment, his favorite dish had already been stewed and was waiting for him to come back for midnight snack.
Zuo Xiaolang only waited for half an incense's time to eat the hot meat. That feeling of satisfaction was really hard to describe, so he remembered Young Prince's “great man”.
Halfway there, Lu Zheng and the madame got on the carriage. Apparently, the latter knew what had happened and was looking at Zuo Xiaolang with concern.
“Mother …” Is there any way to reject it? “
The old mistress loosened her frown and asked plainly, “Why do you reject it?”
“Eh, I'm afraid that Xiaolang will suffer a loss if he enters the palace.”
“Eat a piece of food, grow a piece of wisdom!”
“He's still young.”
“With the Emperor here, no one would dare to harm him. If even he's unable to protect him, the Emperor wouldn't dare to say such words.”
Zuo Shaoqing rummaged through his stomach, trying to find a reason to convince the madame.
The madame's heart was filled with reluctance, but the heir to Duke Zhen's residence could not have grown up peacefully. It would only harm him.
“Being able to accompany the Crown Prince in his studies, with Duke Zhen's family's strength, it won't be a problem for the Crown Prince to succeed the throne in the future. This will benefit both Duke Zhen Manor and Xiaolang.”
Zuo Shaoqing lowered his head to look at his son's delicate face and said depressingly: “I know.”
“He is too simple-minded. With the degree of love you guys have for him, even if he were to have both civil and martial skills in the future, he would still suffer losses.”
How could Zuo Shaoqing not know as well? “I know.”
Even though the madame said so, she still felt sorry for Zuo Xiaolang when she thought of how he was going to be dyed in blood.
“I think the Crown Prince is not bad. Xiaolang can't just rely on you guys for his future. Since we have the chance, we might as well not go.”
“I know.” Zuo Shaoqing was completely convinced. He touched the little thing and said, “You, who's food is bad for eating the Crown Prince's? Is it that easy to get the royal family's food?”
Zuo Xiaolang understood this and nodded obediently: “Dad, then I won't be eating his stuff in the future!”
Young Prince, who had just moved into the East Palace, sneezed. He remembered that cute and innocent child at night.
It should be very easy and happy with that kid, right? Young Prince planned to have the kitchen develop a few more dishes to tie the child's heart tightly in the palace. His father had said that he must take care of the young son of the family of Wu Steel. With the help of the Wu Steel Manor, he could be safer and be absolutely safe.
Young Prince didn't know that because of Zuo Shaoqing's words, Zuo Xiaolang had put him in the ranks of bad guys and it took him a long time to coax them out of it.
The first day of the new year was a long and complicated ancestral worship ceremony. Zuo Shaoqing stood in the open air in his official uniform for an entire day. When the ceremony ended, he felt like his entire body was frozen stiff and numb.
However, he was still relatively well. At least he had a body of inner strength that was resistant to the cold. Those truly weak scholars would be carried away eventually. Luckily, Zhan Yuanfeng Ren Zhe, the elder ones, would leave first after standing for half a day.
As soon as he left the temple, Zuo Shaoqing was stopped by someone. A man who looked like attendant respectfully said, “Lord Zuo, my family's master has invited you!”
“Who is your master?” Zuo Shaoqing asked cautiously.
“You'll know when you get there.”
Zuo Shaoqing looked at him and felt that he looked familiar. He didn't know where he had seen him before, but since they were familiar with each other, it didn't matter. “Lead the way.”
When he followed attendant out of the temple and took a detour to a side road, he saw Jiang Che, wrapped in a cloak, leaning against the carriage.
He stopped and wanted to turn around and leave. What else did he have to say to Jiang Che now?
“Does Lord Zuo not want to know why I called you here?”
Zuo Shaoqing walked forward another two steps and asked with a smile: “Then why did Minister Jiang find me?”
“Let's find a place to sit together. It's been frozen for the whole day.” Jiang Che got on the carriage first. attendant, who was leading the way earlier, immediately made a “please” gesture.
Zuo Shaoqing didn't move his feet. He knocked on the carriage and asked: “If Lord Jiang has something to say, then say it here. If Master Lu didn't see me, he would be worried.”
The curtain of the car window was lifted, revealing Jiang Che's thin face, “Previously, when this official came out, I saw Master Lu being called away by the emperor. Did he not tell you?”
Of course I did! Zuo Shaoqing didn't want to talk to him, so he asked again, “May I know what's the matter with Lord Jiang?”
“Come up and talk.”
Zuo Shaoqing compared the strength of both sides and secretly touched his belt. An expert was brave enough to lightly jump onto the carriage.
Sitting opposite Jiang Che, Zuo Shaoqing had been waiting for Jiang Che to open his mouth. If Zuo Shuhui hadn't been abandoned, he would have happily called out: “Brother-in-law.”
Jiang Che carefully sized up the teenager in front of him. He felt like a precious bead that was covered in dust had just brushed off the dust, revealing a bright luster.
Realizing that it had not been a year yet, the other side had undergone an astonishing change, whether it was in terms of temperament or career.
It was undeniable that Lu Zheng had played a decisive role in Zuo Shaoqing's transformation. However, the prerequisite would be that Zuo Shaoqing was a precious pearl.
“Ever since I first met you, I've had a strange feeling, as if I've known you for a long time.”
Zuo Shaoqing's face did not look too good, “Heh, does Minister Jiang always talk to people like this? It seems like the target is wrong, right? ” They had known each other for a long time, but that had been in his previous life.
“Don't be in such a hurry to refute, I clearly remember the first time we met. I don't believe that you had mistaken me for someone else.”
Zuo Shaoqing replied with a calm look, “If I were to say that I used to know a great villain who was similar to Minister Jiang, anyone who turns around and sees one would be shocked, right?”
Jiang Che did not refute Zuo Shaoqing. He looked at Zuo Shaoqing steadily. The feeling of being moved was still there, but it no longer dictated him to do irrational things.
After experiencing so many things, he was already able to recognize his position.
“I invited you here to tell you something.”
“What is it?”
“Last night, an unfamiliar man in black entered the room of Emissary Beidi. From the looks of it, it should be a woman.”
Zuo Shaoqing frowned, “What does that have to do with me?”
The corner of Jiang Che's mouth hooked up, “You should know who Beidi hates the most. Are you sure this isn't important?”
Who was Beidi's most hated person? “That definitely belongs to Lu Zheng, but …” “Why did you tell me and not Master Lu?”
“Because the person I want to see is you! Sitting together with Master Lu, I'm afraid I'll forget what I want to say.”
Zuo Shaoqing rolled his eyes at him and intentionally twisted, “I didn't expect Master Lu to have such a great influence on Minister Jiang. It's really surprising.”
“No need to be surprised, I've always treated Lu Zheng as my own target. However, this target seems to be a little far away.”
Zuo Shaoqing was truly surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Che to wake up one day. He touched his chin and found that Jiang Che had changed a lot. The once vigorous and confident Jiang Che seemed to have disappeared, replaced by a reserved and gentle man.
It wasn't the fake surface that was gentle, but rather, it seemed like it could understand Buddhism. The edges of its entire body suddenly disappeared.
Zuo Shaoqing didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but it didn't have much to do with him, right?
After getting off the carriage, Zuo Shaoqing heard a weird tone from the other side, “Zuo Shaoqing, are you sure you didn't know me before?”
Zuo Shaoqing turned his head and looked him straight in the eyes, “Of course I know him. I met my lord a few days after coming to the capital. Don't you remember?”
Ignoring the gloomy eyes of the other party, Zuo Shaoqing turned around and left without a single fluctuation in his heart.
Over a year after his rebirth, too many things had happened. His previous life seemed to be a very distant term that had already separated itself from his life, leaving behind not even the slightest ripple.
