Chapter 30 Sharing weal and woe

Therefore, when the third prince nodded, he also saw it with his peripheral vision.

I can't help but feel contempt for this prince in my heart. Even such a matter depends on the opinion of the third prince. He is indeed the incompetent idiot he is rumored to be.

"Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince. Thank you, the Third Prince." Zhang Hongye knelt down to express his gratitude. His Highness, the Crown Prince's words meant support, and he was the one who deserved to be thanked.

The Marquis of Peiping was quite satisfied with Zhang Hongye's performance and said again: "I have prepared a banquet. It should be ready by now. I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince to move over."

A few people moved over, the wine and food were ready, and everyone took their seats politely.

After three drinks, the prince wanted to mention that woman, but didn't know how to speak.

When he was in Peking, he was treated politely and gave him face. At the dinner table, he praised him repeatedly, making him happy.

"Well... in Peking, it's almost time for the draft..." the prince stuttered.

I don't know why, but he would have never been like this in the past. He just wanted it.

But today I met the woman in the garden, and knowing her temperament, I was afraid of offending the Peiping prince, making her unhappy, and having a bad impression of myself.

Therefore, it can only be lifted from the side.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" the Marquis of Peiping asked as if he did not understand what he meant.

"I heard that the Marquis of Peiping has several daughters." The prince felt that what he had said was very clear, and the Marquis of Peiping would not fail to understand.

The Marquis of Peiping held up his hands and said with a smile: "It seems that the good name of my daughter has been left in the capital, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows about it."

"It's a pity... my legitimate daughter has been in the palace as a companion to Princess Changle for many years. After she came back, she was taken care of by the queen and made the princess of Chang'an. After she came back, she couldn't afford to fall ill..." The Marquis of Peiping still had resentment in his heart, but

He smiled so hard that no one could tell.

The prince felt that the Peking Marquis had misunderstood, and he was not talking about Princess Chang'an, so he was worried.

The third prince is not a fool. Although the Marquis of Beiping does not show it on his face, he can still feel the resentment of the Marquis of Beiping.

Princess Changle is the biological sister of His Highness the Crown Prince, and the Queen is the mother-in-law of His Highness the Crown Prince. Both of them are involved with him. I am afraid that the Marquis of Peking actually dislikes the Crown Prince.

"Marquis of Peiping, I'm talking about the other daughters." The prince was anxious, so he had to make it more obvious.

"Other daughters? Chen's other daughters are not yet old enough to participate in the draft. I'm afraid they won't be able to participate this year." When the Marquis of Peiping talked about this, he expressed regret.

He had heard that the prince was not good enough, and when he saw him today, it turned out to be so.

Zhang Anchu was a good move in his hands, but he couldn't play it lightly.

Now that the Second Prince is very powerful, we still have to wait and see what the situation will be like in three years.

"Not yet old?" His Highness the Crown Prince did not expect that the woman he saw today was obviously tall and looked like she must have grown up.

The third prince was speechless when he saw the prince's performance, so eager...

He thought in his mind that the prince's image might be a little weaker in front of the Peking Marquis.

"My second daughter and my third daughter are both fifteen years old this year, and they will be able to participate in the draft in three years' time." The Marquis of Peking raised his glass and said, "I won't talk about this anymore, that will happen in three years' time.

I would like to drink a glass of wine to His Highness the Crown Prince. This opportunity is rare, but I must have a drink with His Highness the Crown Prince before I can rest!"

The prince was helpless, how could this happen?

Still have to wait three years!

The prince's drinking capacity is quite good in the palace, but compared with the old wine shop in Beipinghou, it is far behind.

After a banquet, I was already drunk.

The third prince was sober, but in order not to drink too much and stay awake, he had already lied on the table and pretended to be drunk.

Since you can't drink, you can still hide.

The Peiping Hou snorted in his heart, these little guys are far worse than his grandfather!

The Marquis of Peiping arranged for people to carry the two people out, then returned to the study and called the eldest son Zhang Hongye over.

Zhang Hongye didn't drink much wine today, mainly because he poured more wine for the three of them.

"Father." Zhang Hongye's face was solemn. Although he was not as well-informed as the Peiping Hou, at the wine table today, he was a clear observer and could understand a lot.

"Hongye, what do you think of this Crown Prince?" The Marquis of Peiping felt a bitter taste in his mouth, so he picked up the tea on the table and rinsed his mouth, waiting for his answer.

Zhang Hongye shook his head and said: "My son does not think highly of His Highness the Crown Prince."

At the banquet, he heard that His Highness the Crown Prince was most concerned about the draft. Combined with what the butler said today, he probably fell in love with Zhang Anchu.

Being so lustful, and after drinking, his true colors are revealed, and he looks like a drunkard, which is really not a good choice.

The Peking Marquis nodded, agreeing with his idea.

"What do you think of the third prince?" the Marquis of Peiping turned around and asked.

Zhang Hongye shook his head again and replied: "My son can't understand the third prince."

It is true that the third prince talks too little and has no sense of presence.

But people like this are even more terrifying.

Talking too much will lead to mistakes, but if he talks too little, you won't understand what he is thinking at all.

"It's really rare for the third prince to be so scheming at such a young age..." the Marquis of Peking said with his hands behind his back.

Although Zhang Hongye couldn't understand it, he did notice a few things. First, the third prince pretended to be drunk, and secondly, His Highness the Crown Prince seemed to regard him as the leader and valued him very much.

Even though he spoke little during the dinner, his expression did not change at all, but the more he behaved like this, the more the Peking Marquis could not underestimate him.

"Father likes the third prince?"

"Everything is still unknown. Only time can answer the question. Now is the time when the capital is in full swing. It should be soon..." The Marquis of Peking knew that now is the most critical time.

But the prince is still thinking about women, which is really useless. He can sit on the throne, but God is blind!

However, the prince is the legitimate son and the eldest son, so he inherits the throne and is justified.

"Old Li."

When Peking arrived, he called the housekeeper outside the door. When the housekeeper heard this, he opened the door and came in.

"Master Marquis, what are your orders?"

"Instruct Mr. Shen to take the third lady to the garden to practice dancing tomorrow. You can arrange the rest." The Marquis of Peking already had a plan in mind. No matter who wins, their Peking Marquis Mansion will be the final winner.

"Yes." The steward stepped back. He had been waiting in Peiping for many years, so he naturally knew his plan.

"Father, it's cold today, how can you let the third sister go to the garden to practice dancing? What's more, there are male guests in the house." Zhang Hongye felt that this was against the rules, and he was afraid of freezing Zhang Anchu.

Over the years, Zhang Anchu has always asked him for advice. Every time he teaches, it is like reviewing and deepening his memory.

It looks like he is helping Zhang Anchu, but in fact, he knows that he is also a beneficiary.

"Hong Ye, this is what my father wants to teach you. In the future, this Marquis Mansion will be handed over to you. A large family like the Marquis Mansion will share weal and woe."

Zhang Hongye lowered his head and asked, "What is father's intention?"
