With a smile and a boyish look on his face, Xiao Hengyi looked like a lively and active older brother. He asked: "Cousin, what are you doing here at Zhang's house?"

Nanzhi put down the teacup and said, "What a coincidence, I'm also here to get the copybook."

Xiao Hengyi nodded, "Brother Qing'an's calligraphy is really good. The great scholars in the Imperial College said that Brother Qing'an's calligraphy has reached the state of perfection."

Nanzhi asked casually: "Do you have a good relationship with your cousin?"

Xiao Hengyi nodded, "I admire Brother Qing'an very much. We often discuss knowledge together."

Nanzhi:……

Before she knew it, Xiao Hengyi had gotten so close to the Zhang family?

Although there are not many officials in the Zhang family, the Zhang family has a good reputation and many scholars!

It can be regarded as a clear stream.

Has King Wu already brought the Zhang family under his wing?

Nanzhi guessed in his mind that Zhang Qingan came out of the back room and was stunned for a moment when he saw Nanzhi and quickly saluted.

Zhang Qingan has a typical scholar temperament, even a little weak. After he saluted, he asked Nanzhi what happened.

Nanzhi looked at the copybook in his hand and said, "Cousin, please give me a copy too. I plan to practice calligraphy recently."

Many people asked Zhang Qing'an for copybooks. Zhang Qing'an did not refuse such requests. He first gave the copybook in his hand to Xiao Hengyi.

Xiao Hengyi was very happy and looked back and forth at the copybook, "Thank you, Brother Qing'an."

Zhang Qingan smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing."

He turned around and took out another copybook, and said to Nanzhi: "My calligraphy is not suitable for the eldest princess. The hairpin font here is delicate and elegant, and is more suitable for the eldest princess."

Nanzhi didn't want it: "I want to practice the large opening and closing fonts. I don't like it if it's too delicate."

Zhang Qingan had no choice but to take another book.

Nanzhi accepted the copybook and did not leave immediately. Instead, he said, "I want to spend some time with my grandmother."

Seeing this, Xiao Hengyi bowed his hands and said goodbye, "Brother Qing'an, we are here to see the Imperial Academy."

After Xiao Hengyi left, Nanzhi asked Zhang Qingan, "Cousin, do you have a good relationship with Hengyi?"

Zhang Qing'an said: "When it comes to discussing knowledge, His Royal Highness is very powerful."

Nanzhi: "That's it!"

Nanzhi went to see his grandfather and asked straight to the point: "Isn't it inappropriate for my cousin to associate with the Crown Prince of Wu, grandfather?"

Master Zhang said: "It's just an academic discussion, not what you think."

Mr. Zhang also knew that there was a lot of talk about Chaoshang adopting Xiao Hengyi.

Nanzhi just said: "You think it is a discussion of knowledge, but in the eyes of my father, it is not necessarily true."

"My father was at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, but the ministers in the court asked my father to adopt him every day. My father was very unhappy. When people are unhappy, they will inevitably become angry."

Nanzhi said, "I don't want my cousin to break off the relationship with Xiao Hengyi, but I want to avoid getting too close and making it known to everyone."

Grandfather nodded, "I know this very well."

You know this.

If the queen murders the emperor's heir, the Zhang family will also suffer the same fate, and exile is inevitable.

It was because the Zhang family was clear that none of the nine clans were killed.

Nanzhi just warned: "Grandpa, you should pay more attention."

Master Zhang nodded, feeling a little uneasy.

In the final analysis, it is all because His Majesty currently has no heirs, no legitimate and qualified heirs, which makes the court uneasy and the country unstable.

He glanced at his granddaughter. If it were a boy, there wouldn't be so many things.

This look was so familiar that Nanzhi glared at her grandfather, "Grandpa, your look makes me very hurt."

Grandfather:…

Master Zhang asked someone to call Zhang Qing'an over and warned Nanzhi: "Your cousin is engaged and will get married next year. Don't mess around."

Nanzhi: ...So, in your mind, what image does your granddaughter have, and what are you guarding against?

What you say is so unpleasant.

Nanzhi said unhappily: "Grandpa, I have five in my house, which is enough for the time being."

Enough for now?

What if it’s not enough?

Mr. Zhang didn’t even dare to think about it.

Zhang Qing'an came to the study room and felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, with his grandfather and the princess's cousin Qing'an.

Master Zhang asked: "How long have you been in contact with Prince Wu?"

Zhang Qing'an thought for a moment and said, "We are all studying in the Imperial College, so we naturally have more exchanges."

His calligraphy has always been highly praised by the masters, so the Prince of Wu liked to come to him for advice, and then they communicated more, from copybooks to academic exchanges, and they were regarded as friends.

Friends who exchange knowledge with each other.

After Zhang Qing'an finished speaking, he looked at his grandfather and the princess's cousin, and asked, "I, do I have any problems with the Crown Prince?"

Nanzhi shook his head: "No problem, it's just that some time ago, my father went on patrol incognito, encountered an assassin, and caught him for interrogation. He was a dead soldier of Prince Wu's palace."

Heavy medicine is necessary.

Master Zhang: Oh...

Zhang Qingan: Is this okay to listen to?

Zhang Qingan thought for a moment and said, "I didn't think about what to do with the prince?"

Master Zhang frowned and said, "It doesn't matter what you think. What matters is what others think and see."

Especially what the emperor thinks and sees.

Zhang Qing'an thought for a moment and said, "It would be bad to keep distance from the Crown Prince rashly."

It's easy to feel confused.

Nanzhi sighed, "I'm telling you this not to tell you not to interact with Xiao Hengyi, but to be careful when interacting with him. When you do things, think about the queen mother in the palace and think about me."

Zhang Qingan cupped his hands and said, "I understand, thank you princess for informing me."

Master Zhang said in a deep voice, "The King of Wu actually assassinated His Majesty!"

Audacious.

The Zhang family's ability to become queen was completely beyond their expectations.

It was entirely because of the eldest princess that the queen became the queen.

Later, the Queen took action to assassinate Shen Xinyan, and the Queen Mother scolded her for being a small family, being narrow-minded, and having no plans.

This was the Queen Mother's deliberate attack on the Queen. The Zhang family was not considered a wealthy family in the court, but among scholars, the Zhang family was indeed well-established.

Very admired.

I just don’t know if the Zhang family would benefit from giving up the queen and Xiao Qianjun.

Nanzhi looked at Zhang Qing'an and asked, "Cousin, you won't tell Xiao Hengyi what we talked about today."

Zhang Qingan:? ? ?

No, I am sick. Why should I tell Prince Wu?

Mr. Zhang looked at his grandson: "You are not stupid enough to tell outsiders what your family said."

Zhang Qingan: "I can't."

Nanzhi looked at Mr. Zhang, "Grandpa, you don't think that the son of King Wu will be adopted by his father and will become the emperor in the future. Now you should fall over to King Wu and bring wealth to the Zhang family."

Master Zhang was stunned, "What are you talking about?"

His face darkened, "The Zhang family doesn't have the ability to follow a dragon or a phoenix."

Nanzhi smiled and said, "Grandpa, I just want to say that if King Wu dares to assassinate my father, he may do something even more outrageous. The Zhang family cannot be involved."

Master Zhang's face was deep, "I understand."
