There's something wrong with me

Chapter 53 Leaving the Palace Leaving the Palace
“…” Zhang Feng simply stopped talking when he heard his mother was being unreasonable.

Because my mother was originally a graduate of a formal school.

She was making sense and Zhang Feng might not be able to win the argument.

Don’t say that, it’s unreasonable now.

"Think about it." Seeing her beloved son remained silent, the mother said seriously, "You're living alone outside. What if you don't have enough to eat? What if you get too hungry and become skinny?"

When she said this, her voice was a little anxious.

It's the kind of anxiety a mother feels about to be separated from her child.

Even though she is the queen, she is not immune to human emotions.

"Should I order my mother to send a few people from the imperial kitchen to accompany you out of the palace?"

She has now become accustomed to her own "fat baby" and is even worried that Zhang Feng will become hungry and thin after leaving the palace.

"That's what the Queen Mother said."

Zhang Feng felt warm in his heart as he looked at his mother's caring eyes.

"Then...should I issue an order to the imperial kitchen now?" The queen took it seriously and stood up to get the seal on the book.

"What the Queen Mother said is right." Zhang Feng was focused on boiling water and didn't care what his mother said. As long as it was right, it would be fine.

At the same time, the Queen seemed to have thought of something, and looked at her lovely child and said:
"The daughter of the Minister of Rites is fifteen years old this year. My mother summoned her to the palace. Look at her bright eyes and white teeth, her graceful demeanor, and her manners that reveal the etiquette of a distinguished family.

When you leave the palace, find a time to meet her. If I like her, I will propose marriage for you."

"That's what my mother said." Zhang Feng nodded again, but later realized that something was wrong this time.
"Your Majesty, that's not right. I'm afraid I'll waste Minister Sun's daughter."

Zhang Feng devoted himself to practicing martial arts, and now he has found the method of Qi and blood.

At this critical moment, where is the time to talk about feelings?

If you really fall in love, you will definitely be distracted.

If you don't feel anything, why bother talking?

If you want to satisfy your own selfish desires, there are always girls as beautiful as the hundreds of brothels in the world. Why ruin the innocence of a decent woman?

Zhang Feng thought very clearly.

"What? Delay?" The Queen was very unhappy, "It is her blessing that my Feng'er can marry her!
"Alright! Stop talking, it's settled! Queen Mother will have someone prepare the betrothal gifts right away!"

"?" Zhang Feng was stunned. What the hell, it was originally a blind date, but after what he said, it became an engagement.

We have to find a way to solve it.

Even if he were to get married, Zhang Feng didn't want to have a hasty marriage.

"Mother, please listen to me carefully. Human emotions are not..."

……

An hour later.

Zhang Feng came out of Changxiang Palace in silence. He had postponed the marriage, but he still wanted to meet her.

In the words of the Queen Mother, "You still have to meet her. After meeting her, come back and tell me what kind of girl you like. Then I will send people to the ends of the earth to find her."

My mother is a very good person. She just needs to post notices all over the world to find a husband for herself.

But Zhang Feng was troubled.

However, as he was walking, Zhang Feng was thinking about the Qi and blood training method, and soon he forgot about this matter.

Plus, today is my last night in the palace.

Although he could come back later, Zhang Feng felt more melancholy about "running away from home".

This sixteen-year family experience.

Zhang Feng quickly forgot about the trivial matters and instead strolled around the palace with a nostalgic look on his face.

Just like this, Zhang Feng looked left and right.

Although it was a bit inappropriate, no one dared to stop him because of Zhang Feng's identity.

Moreover, Zhang Feng was very sensible. He did not stroll around the harem, but took a walk in other places.

"The Seventh Prince is well!"

The palace maids, eunuchs, guards, and several cabinet ministers who had just finished their official business in the palace courtyard all greeted Zhang Feng when they saw him coming.

Zhang Feng nodded and continued walking.

But after Zhang Feng left, they were completely confused and had no idea who had summoned the Seventh Prince.

Because if he was summoned, Zhang Feng should be accompanied by a "licensed eunuch leading the way?" or a palace guard.

But now I have nothing, so I just walk alone.

"What is the Seventh Prince doing?" They were very curious, but they didn't dare to ask.

Fortunately, it was the Seventh Prince. If it were someone else, the palace guards would have arrested him long ago.

but.

Zhang Feng felt happier as he walked, and the feeling of "running away from home" in his heart was gradually dispelled.

With his mind open, Zhang Feng suddenly felt his steps lighter.

As he walked, Zhang Feng unknowingly discovered that blood had pooled in his feet.

A skill that would normally take time to practice slowly, because of a chance coincidence, my mind was opened up and the difficulties were overcome.

Zhang Feng was so happy that he temporarily immersed his mind on the blood collecting in his feet.

Zhang Feng has always been doing what he does: understanding knowledge, deepening it, and then applying it to his own benefit, rather than acquiring it through "occasional epiphanies."

The palace maids and eunuchs passing by still saluted.

Because Zhang Feng was concentrating on cultivation at the moment, he nodded symbolically.

I didn't know how long I walked like this until I passed by a side hall where books were kept.

Coincidentally, the emperor just came out.

Eunuch Zhao followed behind him.

Eunuch Zhao became the chief eunuch in the imperial palace five years ago, and has often been by the emperor's side since then.

at the same time.

When Eunuch Zhao saw Zhang Feng, he was very happy, but the emperor in front of him seemed to be thinking about something, so he didn't dare to speak loudly. He could only bow and gesture with his mouth, "Hello, young master!"

At the same time, when the emperor saw Zhang Feng coming, his thoughts came back to normal and he nodded calmly to Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng nodded, as he was used to it, and subconsciously nodded to the emperor.

Then, the emperor was confused.

"Ha... uh..." Eunuch Zhao wanted to laugh when he saw this scene, but driven by a strong desire to survive, he quickly held back the laughter that might get him beheaded.

"What are you doing, young master?" He then realized what was happening and gave Zhang Feng frequent glances, asking him to pay his respects quickly.

At the same time, Zhang Feng also reacted and said to the somewhat bewildered emperor, "Your Majesty, your son greets you!"

While holding his hands, Zhang Feng raised his head slightly.

The emperor is over fifty years old this year. He has more wrinkles on his face, but his majesty is even greater.

During these ten years, Zhang Feng met the emperor no more than thirty times.

Except for the birthdays of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, we basically don't see each other, and even if we do meet on birthdays, we don't talk.

At most, it would be like now, a symbolic bow and greeting.

"Ah."

Now, the emperor just nodded as he did before, then turned and left.

But before he had taken two steps, he seemed to remember something and scolded Zhang Feng with his back to him, "Why are you running around in the palace instead of going back to the palace?
Where have you learned all the etiquette and laws?"

"Your son will go back right away." Zhang Feng realized that he had unknowingly turned to the emperor's side, so he turned around and prepared to go back.

"You don't know the rules!" The emperor scolded again, then continued walking. But after two steps, he stopped again and said to Zhang Feng with his back to him, "You will be leaving the palace tomorrow."

"Yes." Zhang Feng turned around, looked at the emperor's back and replied, "Your son is sixteen years old. After visiting the palace tomorrow, as usual, I will not return to the palace to spend the night."

"Yeah." The emperor turned his back to Zhang Feng and paused for several breaths.

The silence wore off after about ten seconds.

The emperor then continued, "Yesterday I issued an order to have several imperial chefs from the imperial kitchen leave the palace with you tomorrow.

The food outside the palace... well... well... I'm afraid you won't be used to it."

After saying this, the emperor left directly, with his back to Zhang Feng from beginning to end.

……

The next day.

Zhang Fengyi had already left the palace surrounded by dozens of followers.

The mansion is not far from the imperial palace.

The fifth courtyard is the royal palace.

Not far away, there is another courtyard with three entrances, which is the Prime Minister's Mansion.

And because he was running a government office, there were many things to do during the day.

There was a constant stream of people coming to give gifts and visit.

Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, at least they were polite.

Zhang Feng also received them one by one, and was busy until the evening before he had some free time.

After all the guests left, the palace maids came out to clean up.

Zhang Feng called that "Little Five" and came to the deserted yard.

Xiao Wuzi has been loyal to Zhang Feng since he entered the palace at the age of sixteen.

"Xiao Wuzi." Zhang Feng looked at the fair-looking Xiao Wuzi in front of him, "From now on, you will be the housekeeper of the mansion."

"Thank you, master!" He bowed his head.

Zhang Feng helped him up and said, "Xiao Wuzi, you've been tired all day."

Zhang Feng saw that he was exhausted and wanted him to rest before continuing. "Rest well tonight. When you leave the house tomorrow, ask around to see where you can buy rock fruit."

"Rock Fruit?" Xiao Wuzi had been in the palace for over six years and was an old hand there. Naturally, he had heard of the forbidden book and knew that this was a forbidden drug.

However, he did not ask any more questions. He just kowtowed again and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "I obey your orders!"

The Seventh Prince treated him like a human being, and considering his hard work, he let him rest for a night.

A scholar dies for a confidant!

After saying this, he returned to his room. Instead of resting, he put on a hat, put on makeup, and immediately left the house to inquire for his master.
