Zhu Houzhao was most concerned about Chen Xi's romantic affairs. In the past, Chen Xi always gave him a feeling of being arrogant and unpredictable. In the minds of naughty children, Chen Xi was a noble person who had no friends until he had no friends. Now he realized that Chen Xi would also be involved in gossip news, and a big scandal broke out.

For this scandal, Zhu Houzhao even puts his practice aside for the time being, and he has to wait until he asks things clearly and lets himself be happy before he talks about it.

Zhang Yuan had originally observed that Zhu Houzhao had to eat and sleep in order to cultivate immortality. This time he came to Zhu Houzhao to talk about the matter about Chen Xi, in order to attract Zhu Houzhao's attention, and tried to use other things to divert Zhu Houzhao's interest and forget about cultivation.

Zhang Yuan spent a lot of thought on this. This time he learned a lot about Chen Xi. He told Zhu Houzhao all the time. At first, Zhu Houzhao was concerned about the "scandal" between Chen Xi and Gao Ning. Later, he asked about the details of the battle between Chen Xi and the Jiaozhi people. Zhang Yuan guessed and told him basically what he knew.

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that Mr. Chen has done a lot of practical things in the south. He is really a hero of my Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Yuan was a little anxious: "Your Highness, now that Lord Shen has caused such a big deal, the previous contribution may not be guaranteed. Do you think... will you find a way to help?"

For Zhang Yuan, he was jealous of Chen Xi, but when he thought of his own son Shen Yongqi's future, he had to help him if something happened to Chen Xi.

Zhang Yuan hopes that he can get the care of officials in the palace in the future, especially ministers like Chen Xi who are valued by the emperor and the prince. For him, Chen Xi is a chess piece he can use in the future, and it has nothing to do with him as to whether it is good or bad.

Therefore, he is not only helping Chen Xi fight for it, but also fighting for himself.

Zhu Houzhao started to complain: "Have Mr. Chen violated the young lady of the Gao family? This matter is a bit difficult. If it is done, the court will hold him accountable or even imprison him, it is possible!"

Zhang Yuan said: "Crown Prince can't help Lord Shen? Over the years, he has made achievements in civil and military affairs, and has made great contributions to the court!"

Zhu Houzhao narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhang Yuan and asked, "Eunuch Zhang, why do you care so much about Mr. Chen? This is a bit different from your previous style!"

Zhang Yuan quickly explained: "Your Highness, I just think that having a minister like Lord Shen in the court is a blessing for the court and a blessing for the prince. No matter what he has done, he should recite his past achievements and a small punishment and great commandment so that he can continue to shine for the court."

"I heard that he did this thing the day before the war against the Southern Barbarians was taken as before the war... Well, relaxing properly is reasonable, right?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "This statement is interesting. Mr. Chen actually plays with women before the war. This is very pleasing to my palace!"

"If I go to the battlefield and have to start the war the next day, I am so excited that I can't sleep at night, so I naturally have to find beautiful women to have fun... Hehe, Zhang Yuan, you are right. It's understandable that Mr. Chen does such a thing, but the question now is how to accept those court officials."

"The young master Liu and Grand Secretary Li are usually picky about Mr. Chen. After this incident, don't you take the opportunity to make a fuss?"

Zhang Yuan nodded: "I don't want the prince, please help me?"

"What can I do?"

Zhu Houzhao sat down, suddenly touched her stomach and said, "Eunuch Zhang, I am a little hungry. Please find some food for me. I will tell you while eating!"

Seeing that his goal was finally achieved, the prince could actually realize that he was hungry. This was a kind of progress. He hurried to the outer hall to find food... On the big dining table outside the hall, Zhang Yuan had carefully prepared many delicious dishes, basically Zhu Houzhao's favorite dishes from all over the world.

When the food was served, Zhang Yuan served rice to Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao ate a few chopsticks and put it down, and he was a little disgusted. Zhang Yuan asked quickly, "Your Highness, these... are not suitable for your taste?"

Zhu Houzhao shouted, "What are these? They are so greasy. Go and find some lighter ones for me, such as some clean porridge and side dishes, and prepare two eggs. If you want to use the yellow ones, go quickly..."

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he stared at him. This was the prince who was picky about food and had no meat to enjoy every meal. He thought to himself: "The prince used to be big fish and meat, but even if he was not satisfied, he had to find some delicacies every few days to satisfy his appetite. Now, he wouldn't eat delicacies anymore, so he would eat plain rice instead?"

However, the prince had something to ask for, and even if Zhang Yuan had questions in his heart, he would prepare for the prince quickly.

When Zhang Yuan came back with the food box, he happened to meet Zhenren Sima. Zhenren Sima stopped Zhang Yuan and asked, "Where is Eunuch Zhang returning? What good thing is in his hand?"

Zhang Yuan used to look down on Sima Zhenren, but now he knows that Sima Zhenren is a liar, and he looks down on him more and more. However, he knows that Sima Zhenren is calling for the wind and rain in the palace. Empress Zhang obeys her words and dares not openly confess her crimes. He said truthfully: "Your Highness the Crown Prince asked our family to prepare some food. He just came back from the imperial kitchen! Is Sima Zhenren's trouble?"

When Sima Zhenren widened his eyes and stared at the food box, he swallowed his saliva, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be a good thing in the imperial kitchen, so I have to try it... Eunuch Zhang, the prince is practicing recently. It is not advisable to eat too much food except fairy water. These things can be handed over to me directly!"

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he became angry. You old charlatan, in order to enjoy the food in the imperial kitchen, he even ignored the prince's body. Do you want the prince to starve to death?

Just as he was about to question, Zhang Yuan thought carefully that all the things he brought were simple food. Even if it was taken out from the imperial kitchen, it was nothing special. He remained silent and said, "I'm afraid that these things will not be in line with your appetite in real people!"

"It's okay, haha!"

Sima Zhenren immediately snatched the food box. When he opened it, he was stunned. The small green vegetables porridge inside disappointed him and immediately scolded: "Okay, Eunuch Zhang, how dare you make fun of this immortal? Do you give this immortal these dog food to eat, believe it or not, I will kill you now?"

The more a lowly a person is, the more arrogant and domineering he becomes after his success. Sima Zhenren is the representative of this. Although Zhang Yuan is also a market-based person, he has been in the palace for many years and his personality has been almost tempered. Without the mentality of being arrogant before, he will not make any noise.

Zhang Yuan patiently explained: "The real person is wrong? These are not dog food, but the prince specially named it to enjoy. Our family brought these things back to the East Palace, but just met the real person on the way... The real person took the initiative to taste the food in the imperial kitchen. How can we blame our family?"

Sima Zhenren thought about it carefully and seemed to be the case, but he was still unwilling to give up and threatened: "Eunuch Zhang, you are holding chicken feathers as a command arrow. See how I am going to deal with you. I am going to apply a spell on you..."

Zhang Yuan replied disdainfully: "Oh, it turns out that real person, you are not only proficient in Qimen Dunjia, but also know the Maoshan talisman technique? That's a good relationship. When will we get through the tricks? I have learned some of them before, but it is the Miaojiang witchcraft inheritance. I don't know if it works for you!"

Sima Zhenren was stunned for a moment. He lived a life of cheating and no ability, but he heard Zhang Yuan's expression and tone, and seemed to be lying. What if this eunuch really knew the witchcraft, wouldn't he be in trouble? His face changed immediately. He threw a sentence "I don't have the same knowledge as you", and then ran away in shame.

Zhang Yuan looked at Sima Zhenren's back and said disdainfully: "Dog, dogs, go to the palace to cheat, sooner or later, and you will be exposed and you will die without a place to die!"

...

...

Zhu Houzhao had eaten the side dishes with clear porridge and finally got better. He touched his stomach and burped comfortably: "It's almost done, Eunuch Zhang, these foods taste good, go back to the imperial kitchen to reward you!"

“Yes!”

Zhang Yuan responded, but he didn't agree.

If you have no limits, let me give you rewards. Where can I get money?

Zhu Houzhao said: "Where did you talk about before? Is Mr. Shen still in Nanning Prefecture City now?"

Zhang Yuan was stunned and said, "When the prince said, I don't know where Lord Shen is now, but I think it shouldn't be in the place of trouble in Nanning Prefecture. After all, there are so many people who have proved that he was ruining the young lady of the Gao family, so it's not easy to get along with!"

"What's wrong with getting along with? Mr. Shen has soldiers at hand. He is the largest in the six provinces in the southwest. If you like women, just snatch them. It depends on who dares to speak out. If this palace becomes emperor, he will give Mr. Gao to Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen has made great contributions to the court. What is the reward of his woman?"

Zhu Houzhao said for granted.

Zhang Yuan swallowed and thought to himself that the prince's style of conduct was indeed unique.

Zhu Houzhao is often unreasonable in his work. Zhang Yuan had long discovered that when it comes to Shen Xi's issue, Zhu Houzhao stood completely on Shen Xi's side.

Zhu Houzhao asked, "What does your father say about Mr. Shen?"

Zhang Yuan replied: "Your Majesty has been unable to afford to sit on a bed these days. He seems to be very sick. He has not been involved in court for many days. He has been unconscious many times when he heard that he is unconscious. Doesn't the prince know?"

"ah?"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned and asked in surprise, "Didn't you say you have recovered before? Why, you're sick again?"

The emperor was seriously ill again. Zhu Houzhao hid in his bedroom every day to practice. Empress Zhang focused on her husband's condition and could not take care of her son. No matter what Zhu Houzhao did these days, no one cared about.

Zhang Yuan looked at the direction of the door and found that there was no one. He leaned into Zhu Houzhao's ear and whispered: "Your Highness, I found that Sima Zhenren is simply a wise man, and he did all the tricks and deceptions. He added a lot of illusions to the fairy water he offered. Because the prince has been in a daze these days..."

"Um!?"

Zhu Houzhao showed a suspicious look between the corners of her eyebrows.

Zhang Yuan continued: "I met Sima Zhenren at the gate of the East Palace. He was envious of the food in the imperial kitchen and wanted to take away the side dishes ordered by the prince. He said he wanted to taste it for him. As a result, after he opened the lid, he found that it was light food. He was angry and said that it was all dog food, which he didn't care!"

"Sima Zhenren really said that?"
