Chapter 40: Zhao Paner'er asks for help!

Tokyo, Bianliang.

Princess Mansion.

Under the brilliant crystal lamp, Princess Yingxing was lying on the bed, weakly raising her jade hand.

And just at this moment, Zhang Cheng stood up, revealing his broad shoulders.

Looking at the man before her, Princess Yingxing couldn't help but say, "Husband, why be so busy? Even if we don't do anything, we can still enjoy a life of luxury..."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Turning his head, Zhang Cheng looked at Princess Yingxing and became serious.

"Oh, Husband, I just feel sorry for you! If you don't want to, I won't say it in the future!"

Getting up with difficulty, Princess Yingxing helped Zhang Cheng tie his clothes.

And just at this moment, Zhang Cheng turned around and said, "There were no problems with Feng Suzhen, right?"

"Temporarily no problems, but the Empress Dowager did notice something!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Princess Yingxing hurriedly explained.

"The Empress Dowager? That is a trouble!"

Rubbing his head, Zhang Cheng's face revealed a speechless expression.

Because Feng Suzhen becoming the Prince Consort took a lot of effort for him to settle.

If it weren't for the "deceiving the superiors and hiding from the inferiors" of the virtuous wife Princess Yingxing, he would have gone to the vegetable market with Feng Suzhen long ago!

But this is not a long-term solution; he must find a way to make the Princess pregnant!

But the problem is, Feng Suzhen is a woman!

Just as Zhang Cheng was thinking, light appeared on his face.

The child doesn't necessarily have to be his own, right? Isn't the civet cat for the crown prince good?

You must know that the Princess Feng Suzhen married was someone who was "slashed" by her stunning appearance; otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to marry her.

And even knowing Feng Suzhen's identity, the Princess had no complaints.

Because what she cares about is not gender, but appearance!

Thinking of the ancients' character of being omnivorous, Zhang Cheng also swallowed his saliva in fear.

"Don't worry, Husband, I will go into the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager to play mahjong more often recently, so that I can distract her!"

Leaning on Zhang Cheng's shoulder, Princess Yingxing's face revealed a charming look.

"If that's the case, then thank you, Wife!"

Supporting Princess Yingxing's chin, Zhang Cheng also laughed.

A moment later, a luxurious carriage slowly left the Princess Mansion.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhang Cheng poured hot tea and said, "Cousin, how is the situation in Dali?"

"Hard to say, Wang Ping has already sent troops to train, but there are still many people who can't catch their breath!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Situ Yaozu said seriously.

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, because Tubo not only has scenery, but also altitude sickness.

To overcome this, it would take at least a year or two of preparation.

Fortunately, Zhang Cheng left behind many high-power radios when he left, which could communicate all the way to Dali; otherwise, in this era where transportation relies on walking and communication relies on shouting, even if Wang Ping and the others rebelled, he guessed he would still be happily enjoying himself in Bianliang!

"Tell Wang Ping to recruit the herdsmen of the Tubo tribes. As long as they are willing to come, give them money, land, and wives!"

Thinking of the Tubo tribes' beliefs and the Living Buddha system, Zhang Cheng understood that they basically didn't treat herdsmen as people.

"Give money, give land, I can think of that, but give wives? Do we have any?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with curiosity, Situ Yaozu was stunned.

"Are you stupid? There are so many women in South Asia, are you keeping them for the New Year? Notify the other countries to offer ten thousand beauties every year, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite!"

Playing with the iron balls in his palm, Zhang Cheng said seriously.

Because of the high terrain and altitude sickness, he couldn't fight Tubo for the time being, but couldn't he handle that group of little rascals in South Asia?

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Situ Yaozu asked, "If we start a war like this, logistics and supplies will be very tight!"

"Don't worry, I'm here!"

Comforting Situ Yaozu, Zhang Cheng laughed.

With the Exchange Mall, he could pierce the world with instant noodles!

Watching Zhang Cheng be so confident, Situ Yaozu said, "Then should we let Xiong Jizong go back?"

"Hurry and send this unlucky thing away, I almost got sent under the Dragon Head Guillotine by him last time!"

Speaking with disdain, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but cover his face.

Because Xiong Jizong really thought they were still in South Asia, doing whatever he wanted?

"General, are you looking for Old Xiong?"

Appearing with a big head, Xiong Jizong couldn't help but be curious.

"Letting you go back to South Asia to lead troops, are you happy?"

Looking at Xiong Jizong, Situ Yaozu smiled.

"I don't want to go back! The Great Song is so prosperous, Old Xiong hasn't enjoyed enough yet!"

Hearing Situ Yaozu's words, Xiong Jizong refused.

Looking at Xiong Jizong with a twitching mouth, Zhang Cheng was also speechless; good guy, he was fine when he came, but now he doesn't want to go back!

Imperial Palace, Imperial Garden.

Under the warm sun, Pang Consort, pushing a child's carriage, looked at the child with a smile.

Standing beside her, Zhao Zhen was also full of smiles.

Acting as a guard, Bai Yutang yawned, holding the Juque Sword in his hand.

Seeing Zhang Cheng come over, Bai Yutang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hey, I agreed to be your guard, but why did you send me into the palace!"

"What are you afraid of? You aren't a eunuch!"

Looking at Bai Yutang suspiciously, Zhang Cheng was confused.

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a twitching mouth, Bai Yutang clenched his fists and said, "Hurry and let me out, otherwise I'll kill you!"

"You're crazy, actually talking to me like this in the Imperial City, do you know... I'll find a way, you put the sword down first!"

Just as Zhang Cheng intended to use his Prince Consort status to suppress Bai Yutang, he saw the Juque Sword resting on his neck.

Looking at Zhang Cheng seriously, Bai Yutang made a fist-clenching gesture and said, "If I don't go out, you don't think about going out either! I believe His Majesty would be very willing to see you protecting the Prince with me!"

"Hmm!"

Looking at Bai Yutang in fear, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but tremble; because she wanted to "castrate" him!

"Brother-in-law, why are you here!"

Seeing Zhang Cheng appear, Zhao Zhen was happy.

Because it was precisely the various things sent by Zhang Cheng, and Bai Yutang, that allowed the little Prince to successfully escape several dangers!

So for Zhang Cheng, Zhao Zhen was very fond of him.

After all, in this day and age, such a "sensible" brother-in-law is rare!

"Zhang Xinzhi, pays respects to His Majesty!"

Stepping forward and cupping his hands, Zhang Cheng hurriedly revealed a smile, then took two boards of things from his bosom and said, "Use them sparingly!"

"Hmm!"

Patting Zhang Cheng's shoulder, Zhao Zhen laughed.

And watching the transaction between the two, Bai Yutang couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Because as a chivalrous woman, she never thought that Zhao Zhen, as the Emperor, could still make such a "transaction" with his brother-in-law!

And just after Situ Yaozu came up to hand over a pile of things, Pang Consort said happily, "Your Majesty, the Prince Consort should be rewarded heavily!"

"Naturally, this is one of our own!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a full smile, Zhao Zhen was also happy.

And just after the three chatted for a while, Zhang Cheng turned and left the palace.

However, just at this moment, someone ran to the carriage and said, "Zhao Paner'er of Qiantang, requests to see the Prince Consort!"

"Zhao Paner'er? You came to Bianliang?"

Looking at Zhao Paner'er with curiosity, Zhang Cheng lifted the carriage curtain and asked in surprise.

"Yes, Prince Consort, this time Zhao Paner'er has something to ask!"

Handing out the jade pendant Zhang Cheng gave her in the past, Zhao Paner'er had a difficult expression.

Looking at Zhao Paner'er, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Sure, no problem, this Prince Consort has always liked to 'help others'!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with suspicion, Situ Yaozu and Xiong Jizong were stunned, because when did he have this hobby?
