The self-disciplined princess wins

Chapter 29
It's a pity that Zhang Anchu is just a woman, and there is no precedent for a woman to take the No. [-] Scholar, so she can only work in the backyard.

"Yeah, I don't know how the third lady can read so many books. I feel sleepy when I read them. I always don't care about anything."

Siyu stretched out her hand near the brazier. She has also learned to write over the years, and Zhang Anchu also asked her to read more books.

But she didn't live up to it, and she was already working hard if she could learn a few words, but she couldn't bear to read any more, and she was about to fall asleep while reading.

She was not even interested in the scriptures, which were all about love and love, and the routines of poor scholars and rich daughters, which she could not understand and did not envy.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Anchu put down his book and fell into a deep sleep. Siyu put the curtain on the bed and slept in the side room to keep watch.

The nanny also had a busy day and went back to her room to rest.

But Beiping Hou rushed back, and was supposed to stay with his in-laws for dinner, but the arrival of the crown prince and the third prince directly disrupted the plan, and they all came back.

"Hongye, you go with Weifu." Hou Beiping said as soon as he entered the mansion.

"Yes, father." Zhang Hongye knew that his father was giving him a chance, so he agreed.

"Master Hou, not long ago, the nanny next to the third lady came to report that the third lady, His Highness the crown prince and the third prince have met." The housekeeper reported while leading Hou Beiping to the guest room.

From what he heard from the nanny, the two of them had already foreseen it in the restaurant on the street today, and Miss San didn't have a good impression of His Royal Highness, and they met once in the garden.

"Oh?" Hou Beiping stopped and asked carefully, "How did you meet?"

After all, he is Zhang Anchu's father, and he knows this daughter. He works hard on weekdays, and usually won't leave the hospital.

"Nurse An said that she had already met her in a restaurant on the street today, and said that His Royal Highness must have been uneasy and kind, and deliberately dropped the fan at Miss San's feet, and then met her again in the garden."

The housekeeper told the truth, not daring to hide anything.

Bei Ping Hou nodded, raised his footsteps, and continued to walk forward. He didn't speak, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Hou Beiping led the eldest son Zhang Hongye into the courtyard of the guest room, and he knelt down to salute when he entered the door, and Zhang Hongye also knelt down.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince, see the Third Prince."

"Get up." The prince sat at the top and said with a sip of tea.

The third prince also nodded. After all, the two of them also saluted him, so they should respond.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are visiting. It just so happens that I'm going to visit my in-laws today. It's rude for me to delay on the way."

Beiping Hou has not been in the center of power for many years, and this is the first time he has seen the two princes.

"You don't need to be so polite. The third prince and I came to Youzhou to do some errands, so we thought that Beiping was here, and wanted to save some money, so we came to bother Beiping." The prince smiled, and his words were considered polite. .

"His Royal Highness is just joking. How could Your Highness be short of money? He thinks highly of me. As long as His Royal Highness does not dislike him, I will sweep the couch to welcome you!"

The Marquis of Beiping would not believe that he came to the Marquis's Mansion to save some money, it was just rhetoric.

As for whether it is worthy of attention, that is not necessarily true, it is just a matter of appearance.

"Why does the prince dislike Beiping Hou, you are the hero who founded the country!" His Royal Highness said, cupping his hands. Before that, he had already made up for Beipinghou's deeds. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

The third prince felt bored seeing the two of them coming and going and talking beautiful words.

"His Royal Highness, don't beat the evil minister. It was just a matter many years ago. The minister dare not take credit for it. It is the Supreme Emperor who is both wise and brave, and this is the reason for the peace and prosperity of the world!" Beipinghou did not expect the prince to be so good at talking, but it made him feel so angry. I feel a little more favorable.

It's just one point, nothing more.

The reputation of His Royal Highness is known even in Youzhou. He is very lustful. How could he not understand when he saw his third daughter today?
Today I am afraid that I am here for the most beautiful third daughter in the mansion.

"House of Beiping, hurry up and take your seat." The third prince interrupted, not wanting to hear the two talking about these scenes.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not annoyed, it was just what he wanted, thinking that the third younger brother understood him, and now that he has no words, it is really hard for him.

Hou Beiping bowed his hands to the third prince, thanking him.

"This is?" His Royal Highness looked at the man beside him, who looked like a gentleman.

"This is Zhang Hongye, the dog." Hou Beiping introduced him, without saying too much.

The third prince raised his eyebrows, and said: "It's a blessing for Beiping Hou, your eldest son is also a Jinshi."

After being reminded by him, His Royal Highness smiled and said: "Yes, you are a good-looking talent!"

Hou Beiping looked at the third prince, with slender eyebrows, thin lips, slightly white, high nose bridge, and a fair face with sharp edges and sternness.

Looking at His Highness the Crown Prince again, comparing the two, it was obvious that the Third Prince was superior in appearance.

However, it is true, I heard that the third prince's biological mother is just a dancer, and once she sees the sky, she will have the third prince.

It's a pity that the third prince's biological mother had been in labor for many days, and according to the rules, the child had to be taken by caesarean section.

Since she is a dancer, she must be beautiful, there is no doubt about it. Thinking about it, the appearance of the third prince followed his mother.

"The dog is just a fluke." Beiping Hou replied cheerfully. When talking about Zhang Hongye, he always had to put on a modest appearance to the outside world, but in fact, he was also proud of it.

"I don't know what kind of errands His Royal Highness and the Third Prince came to Youzhou for?"

It's not that the Marquis of Beiping couldn't get news from the capital. Naturally, he knew that the two of them came to Youzhou, saying that they came to run an errand, but in fact, it was regarded as punishment.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince committed a scandal in the capital, even committing adultery with a woman.

Although the emperor did not allow it to be discussed, it had already spread. He thought about it with his brain and knew who wrote it.

"It's just some trivial matters. I'll go back when I'm done." His Highness the Crown Prince didn't have the face to mention it. The meaning in his words seemed to be a top-secret errand, and it was inconvenient to talk about it with others.

He thought that the Marquis of Beiping was far away from the capital, and he was not an official in the court, so he probably didn't know what was going on in the capital.

But he didn't expect that no matter how stupid Beiping Hou was, he was not a fool. When the former emperor abdicated, he had already cultivated his confidantes, not seeking any benefits, but just not wanting to be blind.

Beiping Hou chuckled, as if he didn't understand the meaning of his words, and said: "The dog is idle at home, if His Highness the Crown Prince likes the dog, just order it."

The prince glanced at the third prince, not knowing whether to agree or not.

The third prince nodded lightly without any trace, and His Highness the Crown Prince understood: "In the next few days, he will follow the Crown Prince."

Even though the third prince has lowered his sense of existence a lot, Bei Pinghou still pays special attention to it, because after Zhang Anxian came back, he once told him that the best talent of the third prince lies in his weak family background.
