Looking at her daughter's face full of flowers, the general's wife knew that she was in trouble. She was rather helpless and coaxed her,"Zhenzhen, Prince Xu Chang is someone we can't reach. Don't think too much about it.”
As she spoke, Tang Zhenzhen became unhappy. She said,"Mother, why do you keep talking bad about Xu Chang? Today is his birthday and he gave me the sword that Noble Consort Qing gave me. I still have to make him a birthday bun. Mother, I'll be leaving first.”
Then, she skipped away. Behind her, the general's wife let out a long sigh. With her precious daughter's personality, something would happen sooner or later.
After the general arranged everything for Xu Chang, he walked over with a heavy expression and asked in a low voice,"Where's Zhenzhen?"
The General's wife looked up at the kitchen.""He's making birthday buns inside. He said that today is Prince Xu Chang's birthday.”After saying that, he let out a long sigh.
The Tang family held military power. If not for their loyalty to the royal family for generations, they would have been executed for some inexplicable reason. He did not want any achievements, nor did he want glory and wealth. He just wanted his daughter to be well.
"Say, the Crown Prince is such a good person, why does he really like Prince Xu Chang?”There was a hint of worry in his tone.
The general's wife had just opened her mouth when she was reprimanded by the general. She said in a low voice,"Don't talk nonsense. Whether it's the Crown Prince or that prince inside, they're not people we can really climb up to.”He wanted his daughter to marry an ordinary person.
The general understood his daughter's somewhat off-line personality. She would be killed in seconds after entering the harem. This was something he did not want to see, and he did not want to see.
The general's wife mumbled. She still felt that the crown prince was being too polite to her daughter. However, when she saw the general's expression, she nodded and pushed him in."Hurry up and go in. How can you leave a guest here alone?”
The general looked at the general's wife and thought of his troublesome daughter. He could only sigh and walk in. He still hoped that his son would come back soon. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain himself to the mother and daughter.
He walked in quickly and the archer poured tea. However, Xu Chang walked over quickly and took the teapot. He looked like a junior."No, no, General Xia, how can I let you pour water?”
The corners of the general's mouth twitched slightly. He did not know when Prince Xu Chang had become so gentle and refined.
Xu Chang didn't care how many horses had run through the general's mind. He just poured tea for himself, looking like the owner of the house.
The general was angry but did not dare to say anything. He could only wait at the side, thinking about when he would participate in Xuchang's examination. This prince was too friendly.
Xu Chang naturally did not know what the general was thinking. Looking at the smile on the general's face, although he knew that the general would not let down his guard so quickly, he still naively thought that the general had a good impression of him.
The general's wife had seen this scene when she came in. She didn't often interact with these people, but when she saw the twitching corners of the general's mouth, she knew that her man was not used to the people in front of him.
Xu Chang politely greeted the General's wife and asked in a low voice,""Auntie, where is Zhenzhen now?”Seeing that Xia Zhenzhen was not behind the General's wife, Xu Chang asked in confusion.
The general's wife said with a slight reproach,"Zhenzhen insisted on making birthday buns for you. She hasn't even cooked before, so how could she know how to make birthday buns? Prince, don't blame her if Zhenzhen doesn't cook well.”
"Why would I blame Zhenzhen?" Xu Chang's tone was filled with a little pampering, making the hearts of the general and his wife skip a beat.
After looking at each other, the General's wife finally couldn't help but look at Xu Chang."Prince, Zhenzhen is not an adult yet. Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to call her by her maiden name in public?”Although the country was open now, Xia Zhenzhen was not married yet and was not of age. If word got out that she was being addressed like this, how could she find a good family?
Xu Chang did not put a woman like the General's wife in his eyes. He waved his hand and promised,"Benwang will definitely not let Zhenzhen down. When she reaches adulthood, Benwang will go and ask Imperial Father for a decree.”
The more assured he was, the more worried General's wife became. She was not afraid that Xu Chang would change his mind in the end, but she was afraid that if she did not change her mind now, what would happen if her daughter fell into it in the future and could not get out?
This prince has seen all kinds of beautiful women. Why is he always pestering our Zhenzhen? No matter how unhappy the General's wife was, she knew that she could only smile and welcome him.
Xu Chang frowned a little when he heard Tang Zhenzhen's criticism. If Tang Zhenzhen was here now, she would definitely ask," Are you really my biological mother?"
Xu Chang thought for a moment and did not say what the two of them were looking forward to. Instead, he became even more firm."It doesn't matter. This king can accept Zhenzhen's appearance.”If Tang Zhenzhen wasn't the general's daughter, Xu Chang probably wouldn't even look at her.
At this moment, Tang Zhenzhen was working hard in the kitchen to learn how to make birthday buns. She wanted to make a delicious meal for her sweetheart. She didn't know what the people in the room were thinking, nor did she know what they were talking about her.
The birthday bun was a kind of snack that Tang Zhenzhen often ate during her birthday. It was like a peach wrapped in bean paste filling. It was so sweet that it made people unable to stop eating it.
Tang Zhenzhen would eat longevity buns every year during her birthday, and she would eat many at a time. However, it was her first time learning longevity buns, and it was for her future husband.
"Aunt Wang, do you think I did the right thing?”Tang Zhenzhen handed over the small birthday bag in her hand as if she was presenting a treasure.
Aunty Wang looked at it and nodded in satisfaction."Miss is really talented.”Tang Zhenzhen was a little embarrassed by the compliment.
She blushed and quickly said," Of course not." Aunt Wang was also an old lady in the residence. Her snacks were first-class and delicious. When she first heard that the young lady wanted to learn longevity buns, she thought it was just a moment of happiness. She did not expect her to be so talented.
While the kitchen was busy making the birthday buns, the living room of the General's Mansion was extremely awkward. Several people looked at each other in silence, but Xu Chang didn't notice it at all. He continued to wait for Tang Zhenzhen's birthday buns. It could be said that even if he knew, he wouldn't feel anything.
The purpose of coming to the General's Estate this time had already been achieved. There were probably already many ministers who thought that the General's Estate was on his side. Perhaps they would receive letters from many officials who had defected tomorrow.
The general was a martial artist. Although he knew that there were many schemes and infighting in the Imperial Palace, he did not expect that it would happen to him one day. Naturally, he did not think too much about it.
When Xu Mo, who was far away in the palace, heard this, he secretly cursed in his heart. He guessed the reason for Xu Chang's actions and quickly asked the eunuch beside him to prepare the carriage and rush out.
On the way, he met Xu Huiya, who was about to look for him. He did not want to waste time and walked over quickly.
Before he could reach her, he was stopped by his dear sister."Royal brother, where are you going now?”
"BenGong went out to do some things, if there's anything, wait for me to come back.”With that, he rushed out.
Xu Huiya, who was standing at the side, naturally did not dare to stop him. Her royal brother would only use this prince when he was angry and anxious. Now, she could clearly feel that he was in a bad mood.
Xu Mo did not know what Xu Huiya was thinking. He only knew that he had to rush to the General's Estate to show the people who were already wavering who the General's Estate was supporting.
As time passed, the General's wife was still thinking that Tang Zhenzhen would be an adult when she graduated from school this year. Would Prince Xuchang really go to the Emperor?
Xu Chang naturally didn't know what they were thinking. He was still looking forward to Tang Zhenzhen's birthday buns. After a while, a familiar figure came over with a plate in his hand.
Looking at her careful appearance, the General's wife's heart was bitter. When did such a careless daughter become so attentive? However, this attentiveness was not for her.
As soon as Tang Zhenzhen came in, she put the plate on the table and looked at them with a smile.""Father, Mother, Xu Chang, try my cooking.”
Before Xu Chang could say anything, a low baritone voice came from the door."Let bengong have a taste of Tang Zhenzhen's cooking.”
Tang Zhenzhen and the General's wife were actually happy to hear the voice.
Tang Zhenzhen didn't know why, but the General's wife was simply unhappy with Xu Chang. Now that the Crown Prince had arrived, she was naturally happy. Her daughter would definitely be enlightened and understand the good of the Crown Prince.
Tang Zhenzhen was still a little stubborn."What's wrong? Is my cooking something you can taste whenever you want?”
The general already felt bad. The Crown Prince had always been a person who would not come to the palace for no reason. Now that he thought about it, it must be because of the arrival of Prince Xuchang. The people outside must have been in an uproar. Just as he was about to invite the Crown Prince to sit down, he heard his daughter say this.
He immediately wanted to vomit blood and die. He reprimanded with a very unhappy expression,"Zhenzhen, what are you saying? Apologize to the Crown Prince.”Why was this girl becoming more and more mischievous as she grew up?
The General's wife was obviously shocked and nodded quickly. Tang Zhenzhen did not expect her family to have such a big reaction. They had been talking like this in school, but when they got home, they actually said it out of the blue.
However, when he remembered that the person opposite him was the Crown Prince, he could only apologize unwillingly,"" I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."#
