When Zhang Zong heard that Princess Chengyang refused to see the prince, his chin almost fell to the ground. Although he knew that the princess was of noble origin and was the prince's aunt, the prince was the crown prince of a country after all. Princess Chengyang was unwilling to see him. This was too arrogant and domineering, right?

"Mother, my cousin must have come for Brother Zhang, so it's better to meet him!" Fortunately, Xue Shao, who had not spoken at this time, came forward to plead for the prince. Princess Chengyang and Zhang Zong's father were old acquaintances, so it was appropriate for him to call Zhang Zong "Brother Shi".

Princess Chengyang seemed to think what her son said was reasonable, so after thinking for a while, she finally nodded and said, "Okay, then let's see him and see what he has to say!"

With the approval of Princess Chengyang, the person who reported the news immediately went out. In a short while, Zhang Zong heard footsteps coming from outside. Then a group of people walked in. Liu Jianshi and Xu Yalang were escorted in by the guards, and the one who walked in at the front was a tall and thin young man with a pale face.

"Greetings to my aunt!" The young man led came in and immediately saluted Princess Chengyang.

The crown prince of the Tang Dynasty was named Li Hong, who was the eldest son of Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang. It is said that he is generous and kind, and he has a very high evaluation of him in both the court and the people. Unfortunately, he did not live long and died on the throne of the crown prince. Li Zhi was extremely sad for this and even posthumously awarded Li Hong as emperor. He was also the first crown prince in the Tang Dynasty to be posthumously awarded as emperor.

Zhang Zong next to him was also looking at the prince of the Tang Dynasty. He saw that the other party looked handsome, slender, and looked very elegant. However, his face was a bit pale and abnormal, as if he had a bit of illness. Thinking of his early death, Zhang Zong felt a little regretful. Even folk legends say that Li Hong's death was related to Wu Meiniang, I don't know if it was true?

"Have the matter been found out?" However, Princess Chengyang had no good expression when facing her nephew, but instead questioned hard.

"Auntie calms down. The matter has been found out. The Supervisor Liu Zheng was bribed by the Yalang Xu San and plotted Zhang Xiaolangjun's flowerbed for the arrears of remuneration. Now Liu Zheng has been dismissed from his official position by me and is preparing to send them to the county government to deal with the matter according to the law!" Li Hong pointed to Liu Jianshi and Xu Yalang at this time and said that the two of them had long been slumped into a group. If they were not being held by the guards, they would probably not be able to stand up.

"Isn't it enough to deal with it directly? Why are you sending it to the county government for? "The eldest princess Chengyang said angrily again.

Li Hong seemed a little amused when he heard his aunt's words, but he still explained patiently: "The court has its own laws. Even if I am the crown prince, I cannot overstep my authority. Therefore, it is more appropriate to leave these matters to the local county government for disposal."

Princess Chengyang snorted coldly when she heard this, but Zhang Zong next to her nodded secretly. Before, he had only heard that Li Hong was generous and kind, and now he had witnessed his own eyes the side of distinguishing between public and private affairs and distinguishing right from wrong. If the other party did not die early, he might be a good emperor.

Li Hong also looked at Zhang Zong at this time, then waved his hand, and someone immediately carried a heavy box in. Then he said to Zhang Zong: "Zhang Xiaolangjun, you have taken care of a group of flowers and plants on Furongyuan before. According to the agreement, you should be rewarded with ten cents, but because of what Liu Jianshi did, it has caused you a lot of trouble. This is twenty cents, which is considered a little compensation from the Eastern Palace. I wonder if you are willing to accept it?"

"I admire the fair handling of the prince!" Zhang Zong did not pretentiously, nor did he refuse, because Liu Jianshi and Xu Yalang colluded with him, which almost forced him to have no place to gain a foothold, so he was relieved to compensate him.

Seeing Zhang Zong agreeing, Li Hong smiled and nodded at him, but at this time he seemed to think of something again, and immediately signaled again. Then someone sent several documents to Zhang Zong and said, "This is some documents signed by Xu Yalang lured Zhang Xiaolangjun. They have been taken back now. Please accept them!"

Zhang Zong took the documents and looked at them. Not only did they contain two mortgage documents from the flower garden, but also the documents that Xu Yalang had used to protect him before. It can be said that as long as he accepted these documents, Zhang Zong's previous debt would be eliminated.

"Okay, the matter has been dealt with. You go, I have something to talk about with Zhang Xiaolangjun!" At this moment, Princess Chengyang suddenly spoke again. She is probably the only one who dares to drive the prince out of the door.

"Mother, you can't blame your cousin for what happened back then, you..." Xue Shao next to him seemed to be unable to bear it and his mother's bad attitude towards Li Hong. He was about to persuade him, but Princess Chengyang glared at her eyes, but immediately scared him back and never dared to speak again.

Li Hong also knew why his aunt hated her. He smiled bitterly and said nothing, but saluted again: "My nephew took his leave!"

"Crown Prince stay!" But at this moment, no one expected that Zhang Zong next to him suddenly spoke.

"Oh? What else does Zhang Xiaolangjun have to do?" Li Hong also stopped at this time and looked at Zhang Zong in surprise. Princess Chengyang and her son next to her also showed a surprised expression.

"Your Highness, Xu Yalang is greedy for my flower garden, but it is true that I borrow money from him. I can accept these documents, but I have to pay back the twenty steeps I owe him, so you might as well give the twenty steeps you sent to Xu Yalang, so that I can accept these documents with peace of mind!" Zhang Zong explained.

Zhang Zong is not a pedantic person, but some aspects still need to follow some bottom lines, such as if he owes money, he must pay it back. Xu Yalang did not force him when he borrowed money before, and the money did solve his urgent needs, so the money must be paid back, otherwise he would be uneasy.

Li Hong was stunned when he heard Zhang Zong's words, and then he smiled in praise. He was also a principled person, so he agreed with Zhang Zong's actions very much. He nodded immediately and said, "Okay, but Xu Yalang has violated the law and needs to be sent to the county government for disposal. I will have someone transfer this money to his family!"

"Thank you, Prince!" Zhang Zong also bowed again at this time. Li Hong nodded to him, then asked someone to carry the money box away, bowed to Princess Chengyang, and then said goodbye and left.

Li Hong left, and Princess Chengyang didn't even give her a gift. Xue Shao seemed to want to give her a gift, but then looked at her mother in fear, but she didn't dare to take a step in the end. This made Zhang Zong very curious about the relationship between Princess Chengyang and the prince. Hearing Xue Shao's words just now, it seemed that something happened back then, which led to Princess Chengyang hating Li Hong so much.

Next, Princess Chengyang had a family chat with Zhang Zong for a while, and even visited Zhang Zong's flower garden with great interest. When she saw the Shuangse Rose, she couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Is this the Shuangse Rose that is more expensive than gold in the legend?"

"That's right, but the two-color roses are actually not very rare. If I want, I can create a large number of them at any time, and even make a rose bloom with more colors. The reason why I set a sky-high price for them is simply to use them to attract customers." Zhang Zong explained with a smile.

"Scarcity is precious, and you only have two-color roses here. Even if the price is set at a higher price, it should be!" Princess Chengyang seemed to be more and more pleasing to Zhang Zong, and naturally she would maintain it everywhere at this time.

"If the eldest princess likes it, why not just pick up a few pots and take them back. This time, thanks to your justice for me, otherwise I would probably be on the streets." Zhang Zong smiled bitterly at the end. He had only thought about living quietly before, but this incident woke him up. No matter which era, ordinary people without power would be very powerless when encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters.

"Just wait for you, I don't have any other hobbies, so I like to play with some flowers and plants. When I heard about the two-color roses here, I sent my maid to buy them, and I just happened to let the maid recognize you as the benefactor who saved Shao'er." Princess Chengyang nodded very readily.

At that moment, Zhang Zong helped Princess Chengyang pick two basins of the best-growing two-color roses. Princess Chengyang also looked happily for a long time before finally letting someone move to his carriage. However, Xue Shao secretly came to Zhang Zong and whispered: "Brother Zhang Shi, it's a pity to give these two basins of two-color roses to my mother."

"Why?" Zhang Zong asked in surprise when he heard this.

"It's true that my mother likes flowers and plants, but she dies of whatever she raises. Even the weeds dug by the roadside can be raised to death by her. When my father was alive, he jokingly called my mother a 'harsh flower'." Xue Shao explained in a low voice.

When Zhang Zong heard the nickname "Spiritual Destroying Flowers", he almost laughed out loud, but the flowers had been sent out and it was impossible to come back. He could only watch silently for his two-color roses in his heart, hoping that they would be blessed and happy to escape this disaster.

It was getting late, so Princess Chengyang also stood up to say goodbye. Zhang Zong personally sent the other party out of the gate, then watched the eldest princess and son get on the carriage and slowly leave under the crowd.

After seeing off Princess Chengyang, Zhang Zong immediately closed the stall. There were too many things happening today, so he also had to sort out, especially since the debts he owed had been paid off, so he no longer had to worry about the flower garden being taken away. This also made him feel that he was debt-free and even his breathing seemed to be much smoother.
