When Zhao Junchen woke up again, it was already approaching noon the next day.
Because he was too exhausted, Zhao Junchen actually slept for most of the day.
In fact, if it were not for his hunger, Zhao Junchen would continue to sleep.
Zhao Junchen was concentrating on acting all day yesterday and never thought about eating. When he woke up, he just felt unbearably hungry.
Feeling the hunger in his body, Zhao Junchen's expression was actually a little happy - he had no appetite some time ago, which was obviously not a good thing. Now that he has a sense of hunger, it means that his appetite has increased slightly, and
It said that Zhang Decheng's diagnosis and treatment during this period has already produced initial results.
When Zhao Junchen stood up from the bed, he found Fang Ru lying on the bedside, dozing off lightly.
Zhao Junchen didn't notice this at first, and the movement of getting up was a little loud, which immediately made Fang Ru wake up.
Zhao Junchen looked at the sunshine outside the window, then looked at Fang Ru's half-asleep and half-awake appearance, and asked, "Were you here all the time last night?"
Fang Ru shook her head slightly and said: "Yesterday, sister Qianxue stayed here to serve the master, but this morning, sister Qianxue rushed to the kitchen again and was busy preparing today's lunch for the master... Yesterday, master, you
She fell asleep before she could taste Sister Qianxue's cooking. Although Sister Qianxue didn't say it on the surface, she was probably a little regretful in her heart, so she went to the kitchen early today to prepare. But Master, you can't be alone by your side.
I wanted to serve you, so I stayed here, but I didn’t know why I fell asleep.”
Speaking of the latter, Fang Ru felt a little embarrassed.
In the past half month or so, Fang Ru has always been a little lethargic, perhaps because of the refreshing autumn weather.
This time, Fang Ru originally just thought about lying next to the bed, watching Zhao Junchen quietly, and enjoying the time alone with Zhao Junchen, but she fell asleep unknowingly.
After hearing what Fang Ru said, Zhao Junchen thought of the promise he made to Cui Qianxue yesterday, but felt a little embarrassed. He shook his head and said: "Yesterday, I promised Qianxue that I should have a taste of his craftsmanship before Your Majesty leaves.
I thought I would break my promise."
Zhao Junchen has never been one to keep his word. Breaking promises and breaking contracts has always been a common occurrence for him, but this time he broke his promise and made Zhao Junchen feel a little guilty.
Therefore, in order to prevent Cui Qianxue's busy work today from being in vain again, Zhao Junchen quickly got up and dressed, freshened up his appearance with Fang Ru's help, and then went to the main hall of the Zhao Mansion with Fang Ru.
There, Zhang Yuer has been waiting for a long time.
While Cui Qianxue was busy cooking and had not yet prepared everything, Zhao Junchen, Fang Ru, and Zhang Yuer had a brief chat about their respective situations in the past three months, and also shared some concerns and longings for each other.
But soon, the three of them talked about business again.
In a way, working together to promote Zhao Junchen's various plans is the main means of emotional communication between the three of them.
For Fang Ru, these things can prove her role and consolidate her position in Zhao Junchen's heart; for Zhang Yu'er, the reason why she admires Zhao Junchen is because Zhao Junchen always hides one thing after another.
Huge plans, these plans and conspiracies always make her endlessly happy.
Fang Ru first talked about Emperor Deqing's visit to the Zhao Mansion yesterday, and said: "Yesterday evening, when His Majesty was talking to the master, Ru'er took the opportunity to chat with Zhang Zhaodi and found that her condition during this period was not good.
."
Zhao Junchen asked: "Oh? What's wrong?"
Fang Ru sighed and replied: "Zhao Ying'er didn't like Zhang Zhaodi in the first place. She became Zhao Ying'er's personal maid only because of your decision. Therefore, after Zhang Zhaodi followed Zhao Ying'er into the palace, she was often abused by Zhao Ying'er.
, I looked at her arms, and there were bruises and bruises all over them."
Zhao Junchen was not surprised, nor did he show any pity on his face. He had expected these situations for a long time, and just asked: "Your Majesty, did he find out that Zhang Zhaodi was abused? What was his reaction?"
Fang Ru was originally cold-tempered and would never care about anyone other than Zhao Junchen, but perhaps because Zhang Zhaodi had some friendship with Fang Ru when she temporarily lived in the Zhao Mansion, she couldn't help but pity Zhang Zhaodi's situation at this time.
After sighing again, Fang Ru explained: "Zhang Zhaodi was repeatedly abused by Zhao Ying'er, largely because of His Majesty! Whenever His Majesty looked at her a few more times, or His Majesty praised her a few words,
Zhao Ying'er would severely abuse Zhang Zhaodi because of her jealousy. At first it was just insults and deprivation of food, but it soon turned into punches and kicks."
After a pause, Fang Ru continued: "Your Majesty, he seems to have noticed some signs, but because of you, your Majesty did not reprimand Zhao Ying'er for his abuse. Instead, he deliberately alienated Zhang Zhaodi some time ago. Zhang Zhaodi originally thought that the hard life was finally over.
It has passed, but I never thought that a few days ago, His Majesty could not help but praise her skills in making peach cakes, so Zhang Zhaodi was pinched by Zhao Ying'er again and got bruises all over her body."
Hearing this, Zhao Junchen smiled.
"This is a good thing." Zhao Junchen's eyes flashed faintly and he said slowly: "Your Majesty's deliberate alienation from Zhang Zhaodi means that he feels pity and is unwilling to let Zhang Zhaodi be abused again... But your Majesty's character,
How can you feel pity for others at will? This must be because Your Majesty has a good impression of Zhang Zhaodi... Maybe, my plan will make progress soon."
Fang Ru nodded thoughtfully.
On the other side, Zhang Yu'er knew for the first time Zhao Junchen's plan to arrange for Zhang Zhaodi to enter the palace.
Zhang Yu'er is indeed a smart woman. After listening to the conversation between Zhao Junchen and Fang Ru, she quickly thought of something, but asked cautiously: "Master, this Zhang Zhaodi...could it be that she is also a girl from the Zhao family?"
Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "She is indeed a distant relative of mine, and...she also has a younger brother who depends on her."
After hearing Zhao Junchen's answer, Zhang Yuer's eyes were extremely bright and she immediately became excited!
She learned about Zhao Junchen's plan again! The content of this plan is still extremely shocking!
After learning this information, she quickly deduced the general situation of this plan!
Arrange for Zhao Ying'er and Zhang Zhaodi to enter the palace to serve Emperor Deqing. Zhao Ying'er is just the face, and Zhang Zhaodi is the protagonist in Zhao Junchen's plan!
Emperor Deqing had a strong desire and was one of the rare princes in history who remained strong and healthy. Two years ago, he allowed a concubine to give birth to a princess, and he still recruited new concubines into the palace every year. Apparently, he still maintained his fertility.
But because of Zhao Ying'er's Zhao family background and her relationship with Zhao Junchen, Emperor Deqing would definitely take precautions secretly and never let Zhao Ying'er get pregnant. Even if Zhao Ying'er was pregnant with royal blood, he would definitely not be able to keep it. But Zhang Zhaodi was different. Once she was
She was blessed by Emperor Deqing, so the possibility of conceiving a royal heir might not be eliminated.
If the royal family gave birth to an heir with the blood of the Zhao family... Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Yuer's cheeks turned red and her body trembled slightly, as if she had drank a large pot of fine wine.
Seeing Zhang Yu'er's appearance, Zhao Junchen shook his head helplessly.
We are already familiar with Zhang Yu'er, and we have quite a lot of skin-to-skin contact, but Zhao Junchen still can't get used to Zhang Yu'er's personality.
"Don't have too much hope." Zhao Junchen said calmly: "Even if Zhang Zhaodi is blessed by Emperor Deqing, she may not be able to conceive an heir. Even if she does conceive an heir, it may not be a boy. This
This project was just a tentative attempt, and I had no expectation from the beginning that it would bear fruit."
As Zhang Yuer's thoughts were spinning, she immediately said: "But there is a possibility of success! Moreover, we now have a Dr. Zhang Shen in our house, which can further increase the chance of success of this plan! We can ask Dr. Zhang to prescribe some
The prescription not only stimulates the man’s interest in sexual intercourse, but also increases the woman’s chance of pregnancy, and even increases the woman’s chance of giving birth to a son!”
Because she was so emotional, Zhang Yuer was not shy at all when she mentioned sexual intercourse.
Zhao Junchen nodded thoughtfully and said slowly: "Yesterday at the court meeting, the imperial doctor Wen Caining was now taking the blame for misdiagnosing me. As long as I make a little effort, I can drive him away."
He left the imperial hospital and took it for his own use... Dr. Zhang's medical school will soon be opened, and it happens to be short of a vice president... The most important thing is that Wen Caining's medical skills are not inferior to Zhang Decheng's, and because of his long-term
Because the palace treats the concubines and princes, they are especially good at gynecology and pediatrics, and their medical skills in these areas are still better than Dr. Zhang! If Dr. Zhang and Wen Caining work together, there will be one more chance!"
Zhang Yu'er nodded repeatedly and said: "When the time comes, I will ask them for a prescription under the guise of being a famous doctor who I want to give birth to an heir for me. They will definitely do their best."
After hearing what Zhao Junchen and Zhang Yu'er said, Fang Ru's expression changed slightly.
In this way, between Zhao Junchen and the two women's discussions, the plan has been further improved and supplemented.
Just when they wanted to discuss the next thing, Cui Qianxue had already prepared all the dishes and directed the maids to bring these dishes to the round table in the main hall of Zhao Mansion.
In order to prepare these dishes, Cui Qianxue was busy again for a whole morning.
Therefore, in order to show that he valued Cui Qianxue's misfortune, Zhao Junchen used his eyes to indicate to Fang Ru and Zhang Yu'er that they would no longer talk about these "serious matters."
The next focus is to concentrate on tasting Cui Qianxue's cooking skills and then express praise.
In fact, Zhao Junchen did exactly this.
After Cui Qianxue had all the dishes put on the table, Zhao Junchen showed great interest and tasted the more than ten dishes prepared by Cui Qianxue one by one. Every time he tasted a dish, Zhao Junchen would be enthusiastic
Give some compliments.
At the same time, the two daughters Fang Ru and Zhang Yu'er were also aware of the situation and followed Zhao Junchen in praising Cui Qianxue's craftsmanship.
This is not because Zhao Junchen, Fang Ru, and Zhang Yu'er are deliberately trying to make Cui Qianxue happy, but that after three months of practice, Cui Qianxue's skills have indeed greatly improved, and every dish is delicious and exquisite.
Among them, Fang Ru especially liked the vinegar radish duck soup made by Cui Qianxue. This dish was quite appetizing, and Fang Ru ate nearly half of it by herself.
Zhang Yu'er, on the other hand, likes the lotus root soup made by Cui Qianxue. In order to maintain her figure and appearance, she has always only eaten such bland and oil-free dishes. This dish suits her taste exactly.
As for Zhao Junchen, even though he still had a little loss of appetite, he was very hungry after all and ate several pieces of Dongpo meat.
On the contrary, Cui Qianxue, who made these dishes by herself, did not move her chopsticks very much, but just watched Zhao Junchen eat happily. Because of Zhao Junchen's constant praise, her big eyes turned into crescents.
*
This meal lasted for more than half an hour.
After Zhao Junchen and the three girls finally had enough to eat and enjoy themselves, Zhao Junchen, Fang Ru, and Zhang Yu'er went to the study room to continue discussing "serious matters." Cui Qianxue became more and more interested under the continuous praise of the three people.
Feeling excited, he went to the kitchen again to prepare refreshments for Zhao Junchen.
Zhao Junchen's trip to Shaanxi and Gansu has accomplished a lot of things, but it has also delayed a lot of things.
When Zhao Junchen, Fang Ru, and Zhang Yuer arrived in the study, Fang Ru immediately took out a thick booklet from the secret compartment in the bookshelf and handed it to Zhao Junchen.
This booklet contains some matters that must be decided by Zhao Junchen personally, or some information that Zhao Junchen focuses on.
After seeing the thickness of this booklet, Zhao Junchen shook his head, but he still cheered up and read through it in detail, discussing it with the two women from time to time.
About half an hour later, someone suddenly reported outside the study that it was University Scholar Huo Zhengyuan who had sent a letter.
Huo Zhengyuan is the most resourceful and thoughtful person among the "Zhao Party". If it weren't for his lack of courage, he would not still have the empty title of a bachelor.
After seeing the letter sent by Huo Zhengyuan, Zhao Junchen did not dare to neglect and immediately had the letter delivered.
After Zhao Junchen opened the letter, he found that the first part of the letter was very ordinary, and he only asked about Zhao Junchen's physical condition.
Because Zhao Junchen ordered the "Zhao Party" to keep a low profile during this period, the "Zhao Party" officials did not come to the Zhao Mansion to disturb Zhao Junchen in the past two days, but were just waiting for Zhao Junchen to take the initiative to summon him.
Therefore, Huo Zhengyuan also asked Zhao Junchen in his letter when he planned to gather everyone from the "Zhao Party" to discuss matters. He believed that under the current circumstances, the "Zhao Party" needed to discuss the next plan as soon as possible.
But after seeing the last few words of this letter, Zhao Junchen suddenly frowned.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Fang Ru asked quickly after seeing the change in Zhao Junchen's expression.
Zhao Junchen shook his head slightly and handed the letter to Fang Ru.
After Fang Ru took the letter, she quickly checked it in detail. Zhang Yuer also came to the side to read it.
I saw that at the end of Huo Zhengyuan's letter, there were three very inconspicuous small words.
"Zhan suspects betrayal"!
