Ji Tang

Chapter 519 Chamberlain Zhang Quan
After letting go of his obsession, Ji Song returned to his previous self.

After teaching, he returned to the small courtyard and thought of ways to take care of You Ning's health.

Although this is the second child, the risk is greatly reduced, but in this era where a slight headache or fever can be fatal, no one can be too cautious.

What's more, it's such a big deal as giving birth to a child?

On this day, Ji Song was thinking about a recipe he got from Sun Daochang, but was disturbed by the noise outside, and suddenly frowned.

This is deep in the academy. If something happens to students, they will go to the small office building to find him and will not come here rashly.

"what happened?"

He didn't hide it after he came out.

You Ning is raising a baby, and it's a time when he needs some peace and quiet. What's the point of being so noisy?

"Master Marquis, someone from the palace is here. They are waiting outside. Go and have a look!"

Xiaolian ran in and said, looking panicked.

Ji Song was stunned, passed Xiaolian and walked out.

Ji Song was startled when he saw the person coming. He was not Chen Shou, but he seemed to have seen this person before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Slave Zhang Quan has met the Marquis!"

As soon as the visitor saw Ji Song, he quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Zhang Quan? Have I seen you somewhere?" Ji Song asked doubtfully.

Zhang Quan covered his mouth and smiled: "Master Hou, you nobles are so forgetful. The first time you entered the palace, your servants took you in. Master Hou, do you still remember?"

Entering the palace for the first time?
Ji Song immediately patted his head and said angrily: "Look at my memory. Yes, I thanked you for guiding me that time. My aunt left me alone. If you hadn't led the way, I would have gone the wrong way. I wouldn't have gone there." I still don’t know where to go.”

After saying that, he asked curiously: "I wonder why the chamberlain is here this time...?"

He was indeed curious. He was already in semi-seclusion and had not paid attention to matters in the court for a long time. He wondered why the emperor was looking for him this time.

Zhang Quan originally thought that Ji Song would have forgotten him a long time ago with his current status, but he didn't expect that he actually remembered the little things from back then.

It was not in vain that I asked Manager Chen for this errand. It seemed that this move was the right one.

That's right, this trip to the palace was originally randomly assigned. Chen Shou heard that he had a romantic relationship with Hao Jiehou, so he hesitated and handed the matter over to him.

Logically speaking, Chen Shou personally handles the affairs for an honorable person like Ji Song, but who knows that Ji Song doesn't live in Chang'an?

If I just make a special trip, won’t I be able to do other things?
He thought that people had forgotten him a long time ago, but he didn't expect that he actually remembered him. How could he not be excited?
If I could hug Ji Song, a big tree, I would have a better time in the palace from now on.

Another reason is that Ji Song is the one person he has not looked down upon so far. This is so valuable for a person with physical defects!
The more a person is looked down upon by others, the more he hopes to be treated equally by others. He only experienced this with that young man back then.

Hearing Ji Song's inquiry, he quickly said: "This time I am conveying His Majesty's will."

After Ji Song listened, he realized what was going on.

It turned out that the emperor wanted to go hunting in Shaolingyuan, and Ji Song, as a leader among Wuhou, was of course included in the invitation.

"Hunting"

Ji Song stroked the beard growing on his chin in deep thought.

He didn't believe that the emperor would go out hunting for no reason. He was too busy with court matters, so why did he still have the heart to do this?In previous years, the prince led the nobles of the Chang'an royal family to hold the ceremony, but this year he personally performed it. It would be strange if nothing happened here.

He calmly put a piece of jade pendant into Zhang Quan's hand and said, "I don't know who else is here this time. I would like to ask the chamberlain to give me some advice."

Zhang Quan felt something warm and soft in his hand. He wanted to retract his hand, but was stopped by Ji Song.

"This is my noble intention. It's hard work for a chamberlain to take care of His Majesty all the time. This is nothing. I don't dare to refuse!"

Zhang Quan hesitated and retracted his hand calmly.

Then he looked left and right to make sure there was no one around, and then whispered in Ji Song's ear: "I heard that envoys from all over the world were participating, and even Jie Li, who was captured by the Marquis, was also included."

Ji Song thought for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly laughed. Could this be the legendary show of force?
It seems that it will not be so simple to ask myself to go this time, but what does this have to do with me?
Anyway, he had planned it, so he had to go anyway. The emperor had to give him enough face.

If you don't stand out or show off, just treat it as a joke.

"Thank you so much, Chamberlain Zhang, for clarifying my doubts. It's almost dinner time now. You have to stay for a meal before leaving, otherwise I won't let you go." Ji Song joked.

To Ji Song's surprise, Zhang Quan didn't refuse and said directly: "Thank you so much, Lord Marquis. The food in your house is the best in Chang'an. You can't miss it. I'm so shameless."

Ji was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Okay, since Chamberlain Zhang is so kind to me, I can't take this meal lightly."

"Come here!" Ji Song shouted outside.

Xiaolian came in immediately and said, "What are your orders, Lord Marquis?"

"Quickly prepare a table of our specialty dishes, and then put a jar of the fine wine that I buried under the ginkgo tree. Go quickly, go quickly!"

Xiaolian glanced at Zhang Quan in surprise, didn't dare to say anything, and hurried out to prepare!

There is only Madam at home. She and Xiaozhu are three people. We are short on manpower, so we have to go to the next door to ask for help.
Ji Song didn't care about the rest. They could handle these things well, and he started talking with Zhang Quan.

Through understanding, Ji Song realized that he had underestimated Zhang Quan.

He was a small eunuch who first entered the palace, but now he has become the head of the Huanyi Division. This is one of the 24 divisions, which is not small.

In charge of the duties of washing, changing, purchasing, sampling, cutting, and making clothes for the royal harem and court officials. Although it is a small task, the power is not small and must not be underestimated.

Think about what kind of clothes the royal family and officials wear?

It was made of the best clothing materials in the world, and it was a merchant that could be favored by Huan Yisi. Isn't that a famous cloth merchant from the Tang Dynasty?
As long as a merchant is selected by the Huanyi Division, they are the royal suppliers. With this name, are you afraid that you won't be able to make a fortune?
Zhang Quan is worthy of being a member of the palace. Even if it is inconvenient to disclose the affairs in the palace, he can talk about the matters in the court.

Why was Changsun Wuji named Sikong by His Majesty, but he was rejected by others because he was a relative.

There was also Zhou Fan, the general of Zuotunwei and Duke of Qiao, who was very ill and refused to leave the palace, and finally died in introspection.

Before his death, he hugged Fang Xuanling goodbye and said, "It's a pity that I can no longer serve the emperor."

This year, tens of thousands of Qiang people requested to be included in the Tang Dynasty. They said they were happy, and Zhang Quan's face was full of admiration for the emperor.

It is estimated that even if the emperor wants him to die, he will not frown.

Li Chunfeng also reported that the Lingtai zodiac was too crude and only had the equator. He requested that a Huntian ecliptic be transformed into one, and Taizong agreed.

Soon after, the Emperor was informed that the Huntian Zodiac Ceremony had been completed. His Majesty heard about it and looked at it, saying that it was amazing!
All this opened Ji Song's eyes. It can be seen that the Zhenguan Reign has reached the harvest season, and Ji Song's heart is full of longing!
