Chapter 123 Chongxian Museum Reading

"Crown Prince, you mean, it's very unusual for the queen to come to Furong Garden today!" Zhang Zong pondered for a moment and asked Li Hong.

"Yes, she was originally confined by her father for three months, and there was no deadline at all. Although this confinement was only for outsiders to see, if there was anything important, she could still move freely. But today she came to me and just wanted to ask her fourth brother to study at Chongxian Pavilion. Such a small thing is not worth her personal trip."

Li Hong paused and then said, "And after talking about the fourth brother's affairs, she left on excuses. I originally thought she would go back to the palace, but I didn't expect that she would appear in you. With my understanding of her, she must have doubted your relationship with me, otherwise it would be impossible for her to come to see you so deliberately!"

"Isn't it because I asked the eldest princess to save Wan'er last time, which made the queen angry, that she came to me?" Zhang Zong asked with a surprised expression after hearing Li Hong's words.

"You don't know her character. Last time, my aunt snatched someone from her. Although she was very annoyed, she would only put most of her resentment on her aunt. She would never blame you directly for this matter. At most, she just let her subordinates deal with you. So this time she appeared with you in person is very unusual!" Li Hong explained again.

Zhang Zong finally understood after hearing this. Simply put, he was not qualified at all. Wu Meiniang was the queen of heaven after all, and her enemies were only people with the status of Li Hong and Princess Chengyang. Zhang Zong was just a little gardener. Even if he had a certain reputation and contribution, he still did not catch Wu Meiniang's eyes.

"And she was not in harmony with me at first, but today she came to me and then stood in Furong Garden to see you. I think this is more like a hint." Li Hong said his analysis again.

"The prince means that the queen already doubts my relationship with you?" Zhang Zong frowned when he heard this. This was the worst situation and the situation he least wanted to believe.

"No, otherwise, with her temperament, she would not come to act with me on purpose. Moreover, when she came to see you, she did not hide her whereabouts, as if she had deliberately let me know. In this case, it doesn't matter whether I appear!" Li Hong nodded and said.

Zhang Zong also showed a thoughtful expression after hearing this. He had tried his best to tie himself to Princess Chengyang to confuse Wu Meiniang's eyeliner and make her think that she was the eldest princess. The disagreement between the eldest princess and Li Hong is also well known. In this way, others would not doubt their relationship with Li Hong.

But now it seems that I am still too naive, or underestimating Wu Meiniang, and the other party does not need any evidence at all. As long as there is some suspicion in my heart, it is enough. Of course, Li Hong's appearance only confirmed her suspicion and made her understand the importance of Zhang Zong to Li Hong.

Thinking of the above, Zhang Zong also frowned. The main reason why he was unwilling to follow Li Hong publicly and even made a three-year agreement with the other party was that he was not only lazy, but also that he did not want to meet Wu Meiniang too early. But now it seems that he had to surface in advance.

"Zhang Zong, the queen of mother is already thinking about you. Your safety may be threatened both openly and secretly, so I think you must make some changes!" Li Hong reminded him again at this time.

"Prince, do you mean?" Zhang Zong asked with a frown. He was a little confused now and couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"You don't want to be an official, and I don't want to force you, but you can't always be a little gardener. As soon as Chongxian Pavilion is about to recruit students, my fourth brother Li Dan is also going to Chongxian Pavilion to study. It's better for you to go to Chongxian Pavilion too. It doesn't matter whether you study or not. The key is that you have the status of a student at Chongxian Pavilion, which is enough to ensure that no one dares to deal with you easily!" Li Hong finally told his plan for Zhang Zong.

"Chongxian Pavilion?" Zhang Zong also showed a meditative look when he heard this. Chongxian Pavilion belongs to the Eastern Palace and specializes in cultivating talents for the prince to help him handle government affairs. Moreover, only the son of the Duke or the prince is qualified to study in the museum. If the Imperial College is a noble school, then Chongxian Pavilion is the noble among the nobles.

"The Chongxian Pavilion is also the place where your father taught. If you go there, it can be considered as a son who inherits his father's business. If it is spread in the future, it may be a good story." Li Hong advised again. He really wanted Zhang Zong to go to the Chongxian Pavilion so that he could openly let Zhang Zong use it for his own use.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Zong finally nodded and said, "Okay, since it is the prince's kindness, I won't refuse, but I remember that Chongxian Pavilion is in the East Palace. Do I have to enter the palace every day in the future?"

"No, although Chongxian Pavilion is in the East Palace, as long as you have a good teacher in studying, it is the same everywhere, so you only need to study in Furong Garden. And this time it is my fourth brother who is studying, and there are very few people. Except for you and him, I plan to call Sanlang as well. Then the three of you will study together, and no one else disturbs you. What do you think?" Seeing Zhang Zong agreeing, Li Hong also said with an excited expression.

"Okay, follow the prince's arrangements in everything!" Zhang Zong nodded again. If he was studying in Furongyuan, it would be much easier. Moreover, Li Dan had also met him, and Xue Shao was even an old friend, so he didn't have to worry about getting along with others.

"That's great, so let's make up. I'll have someone tear the wall tomorrow and open a door for you. In addition, you also need to guard it so that people will take advantage of the situation. You don't have to worry about these things, and there will be special people to arrange them at that time!" Li Hong slapped his hands excitedly again. He had long wanted to tear down the wall between the flower garden and Furong Garden, so that he would no longer have to climb the wall in the future.

Zhang Zong did not object when he heard this. After all, he was preparing to study at Chongxian Pavilion, and he was not a son of a prince or a prince. He entered Chongxian Pavilion as an ordinary person. As long as he had a brain, he would guess his relationship with Li Hong, so it would be fine if there was an extra door at home. Anyway, this flower garden was originally part of Furong Garden.

It was getting late and the matter was discussed, so Zhang Zong also sent Li Hong away. It can be seen that Li Hong is in a very good mood now. He always smiles when he leaves, and his steps are lighter than usual.

The next morning, the person who demolished the wall came indeed. More than a dozen craftsmen worked together and quickly demolished the wall and then rebuilt a moon gate. Wan'er was a little surprised by the arrival of these people at first, but when she saw that Zhang Zong did not stop him, she watched them work with peace of mind.

"Brother Shi, you are..." Xue Shao came to Zhang Zong's house and couldn't help but look surprised when he saw the craftsman who was building the door.

"I want to study at Chongxian Pavilion, you can go together too!" Zhang Zong said with a light smile.

"Chongxian Pavilion? But my mother's side..." Xue Shao showed a hesitant expression when he heard this, because Li Hong wanted him to go to Chongxian Pavilion before, but because Princess Chengyang didn't like Li Hong, he simply disagreed.

"You don't have to worry about the eldest princess. As long as you agree, the eldest princess will definitely not refuse!" Zhang Zong smiled calmly again. Princess Chengyang planned to form an alliance with Li Hong, so naturally he would not stop Xue Shao from going to Chongxian Hall.

"Really?" Xue Shao asked in disbelief when he heard Zhang Zong's answer.

"Of course it's true. I'm going to pay homage to the eldest princess. Let's go back together. You will know if you ask me!" Zhang Zong smiled again. With such an important decision to go to Chongxian Hall, he wanted to say hello to the eldest princess in advance.

"Okay, if my mother agrees, I will definitely be fine. Anyway, I am studying, so going to Chongxian Pavilion may be a little more free than at home." Xue Shao nodded immediately. He had a special teacher at home to teach him how to study, and he was usually supervised by the eldest princess Chengyang. If he didn't work hard, he might be beaten. Moreover, the eldest princess himself took action, which was much heavier than the husband.

Zhang Zong and Xue Shao immediately boarded the carriage and took Wan'er with him. The main reason was that after meeting Wu Meiniang yesterday, Wan'er did not dare to stay at home alone. Zhang Zong also wanted her to go out for more walks, so he took him away. Anyway, the craftsmen at home did not need supervision to work.

The carriage soon arrived at the eldest princess's mansion, and Xue Shao took them to the inner house. Today, the eldest princess Chengyang did not go out, but instead made an appointment with a few sisters to play mahjong at home. When she heard Zhang Zong coming to see her, she immediately asked someone to play cards for her, and then met the two in the study.

Zhang Zong was also very frank this time. After seeing Princess Chengyang, he immediately told Li Hong about the arrangement of herself to go to Chongxian Hall. However, Princess Chengyang smiled without surprise after hearing this and said, "That woman went to your place yesterday, and I knew she must have heard some news. I guess the prince should have made some moves. Arrangement to go to Chongxian Hall to study is a best of both worlds."

When Princess Chengyang said this, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Xue Shao and said, "Shaoer, you should accompany Zhang Zong to Chongxian Pavilion, and you can also get a background with the prince in the future!"

"Ah?" Xue Shao was also shocked when he heard his mother's words. He hadn't even said he would go to Chongxian Hall, but his mother offered to let him go. It seemed that Zhang Zong's guess was really accurate before!

"What? Although Chongxian Pavilion is one of the two Pavilions, it is not as good as the home, and I can't stare at you all the time. However, you can't relax when you go there. I will ask someone to check your homework from time to time. If you dare not study seriously, I will see how I will teach you a lesson!" Princess Chengyang glared at Xue Shao, and directly smashed the little abacus in his heart.

"Ah~" Xue Shao immediately felt bitter when he heard this. It seemed that he would never escape from his mother's clutches in his life.
