The next day, Xue Yao and the young princes accompanied Zhang Si to Zhongzi Palace as a crowd of spectators.

Princess Hui is with the palace maids and eunuchs gathered gambling, the rules are designated a fig tree in the courtyard, standing 50 paces away from shooting arrows, than the accuracy.

Eunuch reported that the princes came, Princess Hui is busy aiming at the figs, not in a hurry to entertain, let the eunuch to arrange their own refreshments to serve the princes.

After a while the eunuch came again, reporting to Princess Hui - the newly replaced eunuch Zhang Si waiting to see the Empress.

Princess Hui's brows were slightly furrowed, making the peaks of her brows even steeper.

Her handsome features as a young girl always looked a bit incongruous with these unkempt sword eyebrows.

Now that she is approaching the end of her life, her childish features have matured into a mature flavor, and with these eyebrows, she shows the rare heroic spirit of a woman in the harem.

When she heard the word "Zhang Si", her bow arm suddenly trembled, and she almost missed her arrow, but she hastily stabilized it.

Concubine Hui relaxed the bowstring, shook off her sore arm, took a deep breath, and expressionlessly continued to draw the bow at the figs, responding lightly, "If you're here, you're here, what's so unusual about a subordinate, just arrange for him to work."

After the eunuch relayed Princess Hui's message, Xue Yao was disappointed.

Zhang Si, who was standing by the side, also looked visibly lost.

The Sixth Prince said to the Fifth Prince, "Brother, why don't you go ask the Queen to meet with Master Zhang?"

The Fifth Prince was always in awe of his Tiger Mother, shrugging his shoulders and muttering, "She doesn't want to see it, so it's useless for me to say anything."

"Then let's stay here for a while." The Sixth Prince suggested, "After Lady Hui finished practicing archery, she will definitely come to see us."

Xue Yao boldly proposed, "It's idle, why don't we let Old Zhang take us to the courtyard to practice?"

It was a good idea for Zhang Si to meet Princess Hui in the courtyard "naturally".

So, the princes, who were intent on their lives, took Zhang Si out on the road.

In order to avoid the meeting, Princess Hui is now drinking tea by the stone table under the tree, and she was caught off guard to see a few little slippery royals leading that old man, walking into the courtyard.

The cup trembled in Hui Fei's hand and she hurriedly put her head down.

The Fifth Prince bravely went to greet his mother consort and said that he would have Master Zhang come to the courtyard to teach his younger brothers to practice their basic skills for a while.

"Where are all the royal instructors? Is it the eunuch's turn to call the royal son kung fu?" Concubine Hui put her teacup aside without a word of humor.

Seizing the opportunity, the Fifth Prince beckoned for Zhang Si to come beside him and introduced him to Mother Consort, "Zhang Si is not an ordinary eunuch, he has a good skill, even the second grade guards are no match for him."

Concubine Hui lowered her eyes, deliberately avoiding Zhang Si's demented gaze, and gave a disdainful sneer.

The eunuch had to kneel and bow for the first time to see his new master.

Zhang Si had knelt three masters since entering the palace, from nobles to crown princes, the rules were known, but this time he didn't kneel down and kowtow to Princess Hui, only bowing and saying, "Slave servant Zhang Si, greetings to Your Highness."

"Yo, so it's you." As if she had heard the voice of an acquaintance, Princess Hui slowly raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhang Si with resentment in her eyes.

It was an odd kind of resentment, hating Zhang Si for being stubborn and insisting on coming to the palace to see her, insisting on seeing the poor consort who could not see her husband once in a few months in this cool palace.

Most women don't want their former admirers to see them in a state of decay, especially if they've seen her in full bloom.

She was perfect that one time was enough.

And then just want to hide and wither away.

Blame the old man for not knowing any better, for not understanding her as well as he did when he was young, and for insisting on seeing her in this old age.

But I'm afraid she doesn't understand men either.

At this moment, in Zhang Si's eyes, the Hui Fei under the tree was the third miss of the general's residence twenty years ago, and she hadn't changed at all.

"Your Highness still remembers me." Zhang Si stared stupidly at Princess Hui.

"I remembered when I saw it." Concubine Hui looked down and tugged at the handkerchief, with an indifferent face, "Thanks to you, you saved my mother and me, and you later stayed in our house as an errand boy for a few years, right?"

"Yes, yes." Zhang Si smiled out his neat white teeth, and the groveling and bowing insecurity gradually disappeared on him.

He couldn't take his eyes off for a moment, staring at Concubine Hui and smiling, "How has Your Highness been doing these years?"

"Of course it's good, have whatever you want." Concubine Hui replied perfunctorily, and turned her head to look at the three little emperors who were gleaming and watching the fun, and dismissed with a displeased look, "This courtyard of this palace is small, if your highnesses want to practice their kung fu, it's better to go to the next door's garden, this place can't be exerted."

The Imperial Prince and Xue Yao both looked disappointed.

Princess Hui actually really didn't remember Zhang Si.

This poor mysterious master.

The Empress herself gave the order to expel the guests, and the several little emperors couldn't rely on continuing to watch the fun, so they could only go out to practice their martial arts.

Zhang Si naturally had to follow along, except that he still had a lot to say, one step forward and one step back, snail-like, he rode around the courtyard.

Not long after the little emperors walked out, Zhang Si looked back, Princess Hui lowered her head, and did not rush to drive him away.

Zhang Si cheekily turned around and struck up a conversation with Princess Hui, "Your Highness, this palace is not as comfortable as your home, you ......"

"Of course I'm not used to it!" Concubine Hui suddenly raised her eyes and glared at him, suppressing her trembling and whispering, "Can't you see how I'm doing? What are you asking!"

The surrounding eunuchs and palace maidens were startled.

Zhang Si was also taken aback, not expecting Princess Hui to suddenly change her face.

"All of you go down." Princess Hui told the others to stand down.

She and the insensitive old man were the only ones left in the yard.

Consort Hui glared at Zhang Si with red eyes, as if the coldness she had suffered all these years was due to him.

Zhang Si is not aggrieved, instead, his heart is soothed.

After all these years, it was still the same nesting third girl, who only lost her temper with people she knew and depended on, and hadn't changed at all.

Zhang Si smiled at Princess Hui, walked to the fig tree, pulled down the seven fallen arrows, rubbed them carefully, turned his head to Princess Hui and said, "This tail feather doesn't work, I'll go back to the store next to set two buckets of girls with smooth."

Megumi looked away and ignored him.

When Zhang Si saw her tucking the hem of her skirt into her waistband, he subconsciously reminded her again as he had done many years ago, "A girl can't tuck the hem of her garment like this ......"

"None of your business!" Concubine Hui glared back at him, "A eunuch can still control an imperial concubine?"

"Oh ......," Zhang Si lowered his head and smiled, "I almost forgot, then, the slave girl will go serve the imperial sons first."

"Wait." Princess Hui suddenly tensed.

It was as if the person who couldn't bear to end the reunion hastily had suddenly become her.

Zhang Si nodded, "What are your majesty's orders?"

"I won't let you stay in Zhongzhi Palace." Concubine Hui looked at him, "No matter what tricks you pull to blend in again, I will have you transferred somewhere else! If you're sensible, hurry up and leave the palace, with your skills, getting in and out won't be difficult."

Zhang Si raised his head to look at her, "I just want to have a care beside the Empress."

"I don't need to look after it." Princess Hui stared at him coldly, "Isn't it enough that this place traps me and my son? What kind of good place is it that you cut your head off to go here? I order you to leave the palace immediately, get married and have a proper life, and don't bother me again."

Zhang Si smiled, "How can I get a wife and children when I'm in the palace?"

"Don't pretend with me!" Concubine Hui said fiercely, "You want to blend into the palace and still need to go through the motions peacefully? You simply! There is no ...... is there?"

Zhang Si was still smiling so faintly at her and did not answer.

*

The imperial princes and Xue Yao were all disappointed in Zhang Doguan.

I thought that this mysterious expert had a shocking and poignant past with Princess Hui, but I didn't think that Princess Hui really didn't know him.

It's kind of the pinnacle of self-indulgence!

"Empress Hui said that you saved her and her mother." As the only bit of gossip, Xue Yao seized the point and looked for an opportunity to interview Zhang Si, "Were you a warrior once upon a time? How did the women of the general's residence run into danger?"

Zhang Si, however, did not explain this, and each time he smiled foolishly and excused himself.

It's as if he has a precious secret past, hidden in his heart, that no one is allowed to see.

Doggie is such a master of mystery without a story or a drink that he can't dig up a slam dunk at all.

But he was a competent master, and in less than five months, the Fifth Prince was already able to fight the schoolyard instructors to a draw.

Strangely enough, the Sixth Prince has made little progress.

Zhang Si only asked the Sixth Prince to practice the basic walking circle and pushing palm of Bagua Palm in conjunction with Taiji Heart Technique.

Xue Yao was having a hard time understanding this kind of palm technique, it looked just like a slow motion replay, to compete with the Sixth Prince in this way, standing still, it would take half a day before he could take a hit, could this defeat his opponent?

There was even a time when Xue Yao suspected that Zhang Si had given up on the baby warmer and was teaching the baby to practice "Square Body Nurturing Taijiquan".

But the miraculous thing is, the same Taiji heart basic work, the little fat cub also practiced, a few months later actually can use the Taiji basic palm, the sparring instructor shot speed, forced down to the same frequency as their own, and ultimately, four or two thousand pounds to overturn the opponent!

As you can imagine, the warm baby who saw this scene was simply devastated.

The same heart and foundation, five months of practice, the sixth prince played is "old age aerobics", the seventh prince played is "young fat version of Zhang Sanfeng".

Even Xue Yao was getting depressed for Baby Warmth.

In this regard, Zhang Dogdan was so comforting to the Sixth Prince: "Your Highness, you can't compare the effectiveness with the children of the Returning Tour Physique, this stage of practice can only strengthen the body and solidify the foundation, the mandarin duck battle-axe this kind of weapon must be introductory palms, it can't be rushed."

The Sixth Prince was very unconvinced, "Then at least you can compete with Fifth Brother, right? But this set of basic skills can't fight at all!"

Zhang Si bitterly explains: "The soft school of martial arts is like this, your highness, taiji heart method and bagua palm foundation is a static kung fu, practicing martial arts at all levels of performance and horse lance can't be compared at all, but after you learn it, you can restrain all the long weapons, ten thousand times in a hurry."

The Sixth Prince turned his head to look at the fat version of Zhang Sanfeng's younger brother who was sucking on his milk in the distance, feeling that this was too unconvincing, "Then why was Seventh Brother able to beat the Instructor!"

Zhang Si a face of honest phase: "This I can not figure out, once upon a time only in the rivers and lakes rumors have heard of this kind of physique practicing martial arts embryo, the first time to see, no solution, you must not take this kind of special children and their own comparisons."

*

Xue Yao finished feeding the bag of milk and pinched His Highness's chubby face, the psychological effect made him feel that His Highness had lost a little bit more weight.

Zhang Si wouldn't lie, the fat cub's thirteenth birthday was next month, and his current height was already up to the tip of Xue Yao's nose, so he would surely turn into a skinny Dragon Ao Tian very soon!

"Where is Your Highness planning to go for your birthday next month?" Xue Yao asked the fat cub.

It was a rare vacation when the prince could go out of the palace for a few days on his birthday and didn't need to do any homework.

Recently, practicing martial arts had been hard, so Xue Yao planned to have a good time with the Seventh Prince.

"Fifth brother said there's a lion dance to win the championship on Changxuan Street, interesting." The Seventh Prince uttered his birthday wish: "Master wants to go to the guest room on the top floor of the Listening Rain Pavilion to watch the tournament."

"No problem." Xue Yao said smilingly, "When the time comes, Your Highness will stay in the top floor guest room with Fifth Brother and watch the lion dance together."

"With Yao Yao." The Seventh Prince demanded.

"On the top floor of the Hearing Rain Pavilion, there is only one guest room facing the playing field." Xue Yao coaxed, "The Fifth Prince would like to stay in that room as well, so let Fifth Brother accompany His Highness at night, and during the day, I will also go upstairs to accompany His Highness."

"No Fifth Brother." The Seventh Prince wouldn't agree.

"Why?"

"Five is covered in stinky sweat."

"Not at all!"

Speak of the devil, the Fifth Prince, who had just finished practicing his horse lance, came over to rest in a sweaty state.

The Fifth Prince bent down and picked up the Ge towel in the hands of the Seventh Brother, wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck carelessly, and casually threw it back to the Seventh Brother, who then sat down between the two men with a big horse, and said with a sideways glance to Xue Yao, "Zhang Si's words aren't true, and this horse lance is indeed getting smoother the more you practice it."

Xue Yao nodded, but his gaze was attracted by the grimace of the Seventh Prince behind the Fifth Prince showing his teeth.

When the Seventh Prince saw Silly Yao Yao looking at himself, he immediately lifted up the kirtle that the Fifth Prince had used and brought it to his nose to smell it, and then he shivered violently, strangled his own throat, and behind the Fifth Prince reached out noiselessly to Xue Yao for help-

The little fat face was filled with desperate reluctance, and the Seventh Prince eventually rolled both eyes and headed for the table, pretending that he had been smoked to death by the smell of the Fifth Prince's sweat.

This tragic story is to educate Silly Yao Yao: sleeping in a room with Fifth Brother, the son will be smoked to death.

The Fifth Prince didn't notice his brother's evil slander behind him, and continued to talk to Xue Yao with gusto about his martial arts comprehension over the past few days.

Xue Yao has been so amused by the damn chubby little cub that he's holding back his laughter and turning red ......
