The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 728 Shi Xiangyun's Birthday Noodles

The problems of Lady Wang's pregnancy and Prince Ning's threat were solved in one fell swoop. The Grand View Garden was also filled with the addition of the sisters Princess Beijing, a pair of beauties with very different styles.

Zhang Yun逸 can be said to be in high spirits when he is happy about the good things happening to him.

As for Miaoyu...

It’s not that he was so cruel and forgot about her.

Rather, although having the Imperial Guards following him provided some security, they followed him everywhere, which not only meant that there was no secret at all, but also gave him a feeling of being watched.

Therefore, taking advantage of the conclusion of Prince Ning's case, he returned the imperial guards on the grounds that they were too presumptuous, and took the opportunity to propose to the emperor to form a personal guard of 50 people.

The manpower had actually been prepared long ago, and reliable personnel with good pedigree were selected from the railway guard corps.

However, on the one hand, as soon as the proposal to form a personal guard was made, the manpower was already in place, and there was concern that the emperor might become suspicious.

On the other hand, it is also necessary to take advantage of this period of time to let Zhang Songyuan train the tacit understanding of mutual cooperation.

Zhang Yun逸 has always been cautious and careful, and he values ​​his life very much. He doesn't want to see his joy turn into sorrow at a time like this.

Although he could use his power for personal gain and ask the Railway Guard to go to Narcissus Temple to provide security, it was not a big deal for him, but since it was official business, it was okay to ask the Railway Guard to provide protection.

But her presence in the Narcissus Temple caused unnecessary trouble to the soldiers.

Naturally, Zhang Yun逸 would not do such a thing that would ruin his character and popularity.

Therefore, during this period of time, he tried to reduce the number of times he went out of the city. Even if he had to go out of the city, he would send someone to notify the railway guard team in advance, or ask the guards at the city gate to escort him, depending on the situation.

It is better to be cautious. He hadn't even been to the Mei Mansion and Jiao Xing's house in the city for a long time, not to mention the Narcissus Temple outside the city.

He was cultivating his body and mind at home. Except for Xing Xiuyan, everyone else in Huifang Garden was pregnant, which made all the sisters in the Grand View Garden happy and enjoyable at night.

Of course, since they are sisters, it naturally includes the two sisters of Princess Beijing.

In fact, because the two sisters had distinct characteristics and a sense of freshness, Zhang Yun逸 was reluctant to leave and went to the Jade Emperor Temple more often.

However, apart from having sweet affairs with a group of beautiful concubines, Zhang Yunyi never got tired of dealing with all kinds of monsters who came to propose marriage.

It turned out that even though he became a duke, he could not get rid of the ministers who were lucky enough to come to him with strange and lewd skills.

But as Prince Ning and Niu Jizong were dealt with, even those who knew the inside story could see the intention of the two saints to promote the study of Taoism through the charges they had against Prince Ning and the other man.

In addition, Zhang Yunyi was favored by the emperor, was young, and had the ability to turn stone into gold. For a time, all the civil and military officials in the court, as well as the royal relatives and nobles, who had daughters of marriageable age in their families, regarded him as a hot commodity.

Even though he had no friendship with Zhang Yun逸, as they were both officials in the capital, he could always find a way to get through various connections.

Even Gu Dashou and Jia Yucun were not immune and had to accept requests from their colleagues.

The Concubine Nan'an also arranged a marriage for her granddaughter through Lady Jia.

Although the title of Prince of Nan'an Palace is higher than his at present, from a long-term perspective, it is obviously not possible to say that Zhang Yunyi is marrying up to the Prince of Nan'an Palace.

The young lady from the Nan'an Palace is the most suitable in age and status.

However, although Prince Ning was completely finished, the emperor's intention to weaken the military power of the nobles was increasing instead of decreasing.

Not to mention that the Nan'an Palace originally belonged to the Ning Wang family. Zhang Yunyi was unwilling to get involved in such trouble, so he could only politely decline the marriage proposal.

He never tires of receiving people who come to propose marriage, and his work is flourishing.

Ever since the treatment of Prince Ning and Niu Jizong was published in the newspapers in March, students from all over the country have flocked to the school of immortals.

The Great Xia Dynasty was rich in natural resources and had many outstanding people, among whom there were many talented people with extraordinary qualities.

However, times have changed. Nowadays, one cannot enter the study of immortality just because one wants to.

Even if a scholar has achieved honors, he will not be accepted if he does not have any special skills.

At the very least, you have to be good at mathematics.

The screening matter naturally would not be his responsibility, as it would be the responsibility of Lai Shangrong, Wang Hui and others.

However, raising the admission threshold of Xianxue not only raised the level of prestige, but also raised the level of schools under construction in Tianjin. Tiangong Institute and Railway Guard Corps were also proud that their children could enter the Xianxue system in advance.

By the end of March, Concubine Zhen, who was suffering from the "epidemic", finally succumbed.

When Zhang Yunyi got the news, he was worried that Princess Beijing and her two sisters would be sad, so he had to help them relieve their depression.

Unexpectedly, the two were not too sad after hearing it. Instead, they became more passionate and obsessed with each other, which gave Zhang Yunyi a big surprise.

Because she was suffering from an epidemic under the pretext of being ill, Concubine Zhen's funeral was not grand.

The retired emperor only decided on a month of national mourning out of guilt.

However, this not only forced the personal guards to be on duty, but also forced Zhang Yun逸, who was preparing for the trip to Narcissus Temple, to abandon his original plan.

It also ruined the birthday party he had promised to host for Shi Xiangyun.

Zhang Yun逸 needed to take national mourning into consideration, but the emperor could hardly hide his excitement over Concubine Zhen’s death, and he did not take the one-month national mourning seriously.

After hastily completing the funeral, he suspended court for five days.

The reason for leaving the court...

Although Zhang Yun逸 knew what was going on, he no longer had the heart to advise.

Although the court officials may not be aware of the inside story, the emperor has set an example for the lower ranks if the top is not upright. In addition, the struggle between the emperor and Prince Ning in recent years is no secret, so the lower ranks have gradually relaxed a lot.

They continue to sing, dance and listen to plays, but they are no longer as cautious in their words and actions as they were at the beginning.

Zhang Yun逸 also followed the trend.

However, he was different from others. After all, he also needed to consider the feelings of the two sisters, the Emperor Retired and Princess Beijing.

He was also worried about giving others an advantage, so he did not hold a grand ceremony. He just invited her to take a day off and brought Shi Xiangyun to Dengxian Pavilion.

"Sister Yun, you won't blame me for not keeping my word and not fulfilling my promise to give you a good birthday party, right?"

"How could that be?" Shi Xiangyun hastily denied, "During the period of national mourning, my sister was also born in the Baolinghou Mansion, how could she not understand this?"

During this period, the two aunts from the Shi family came to her often to talk to her.

What Xue Baochai could think of, although Shi Xiangyun realized it later than Baochai, was not much behind her. She deliberately pointed out her origin in a marquis's mansion to pave the way for the future.

Zhang Yunyi didn't care about her little thoughts. He smiled and hugged her and said, "Although we can't have a big wedding for my sister, it's still okay for us to spend some time alone together."

"world of two people?"

"Yes! It's just the two of us. I wonder if my sister will feel lonely?"

"I am happy to be able to spend time alone with Brother Yi, so how can I feel lonely?"

Compared with a grand wedding, the world for two people arranged by Zhang Yun逸 was obviously more to Shi Xiangyun's liking.

"Don't let anyone disturb me today. I'll let you eat first."

"Ah?" Shi Xiangyun stuck out her tongue, "Then I'll let Brother Yi eat my pussy too..."

"……Um!"

Zhang Yunyi almost choked, but he agreed, picked up Shi Xiangyun and went upstairs.

Shi Xiangyun buried her head in his arms. After going upstairs and entering the house, she was thrown on the bed by Zhang Yunyi. She looked around and said in surprise, "There is no stove here... How can... um..."

Shi Xiangyun was halfway through her words when she had already started eating. How could she not understand the meaning of what was going to happen next?

I had no choice but to swallow it and eat it with relish.
