Chapter 191 Inappropriate
"What happened to Nangong?"
Unable to bear it any longer, Zhang Zhiwei asked softly.
But who would have thought that even with such a light sound, it frightened the stool, which was estimated to weigh about 200 pounds, and made it tremble.
"Hey."
After seeing clearly that it was Zhang Zhiwei standing next to him, he felt a little at a loss and embarrassed.
He opened his mouth twice, but still couldn't figure out how to explain to Zhang Zhiwei.
Zhang Zhiwei was a little surprised by this look.
With his intelligence, it should not be difficult for him to make up a story. However, the hesitation he showed now seemed like he wanted to tell the truth but was too embarrassed to speak.
Of course, Zhang Zhiwei was certain that Pang Pang's performance was not without some exaggerated elements.
The black-hearted Fatty wanted to gain benefits from her by telling the truth.
"Come back and sit down and talk. It's time to serve the meal."
She helped Pangpang to his seat and comforted him.
As a result, when he heard the meal was served, Zhu Gaochi's face suddenly fell.
"Alas... Zhiwei... forget it, you will understand after looking at our dinner."
Oh?
Zhang Zhiwei had some guesses in her mind, and then she watched the waiter who came from the front yard put a meal of porridge and vegetables on the table with an expressionless face, and she said to herself, "As expected."
“It’s inappropriate.”
After sighing deeply, Zhang Zhiwei suddenly changed his indifferent attitude and spoke carefully and seriously.
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth and hurriedly explained,
"Yeah, it's fine that my father forced me to go on a diet, but how can I make you suffer too?
But when I mentioned it, my second brother fanned the flames, and my father thought I was up to something bad and was using you as a pretext."
"Add fuel to the fire?"
Zhang Zhiwei could name three reasons why Zhu Di asked Pang Pang to lose weight without having to guess.
Either the fact that two Ferghana horses died of exhaustion during the bride-picking ceremony yesterday was exposed, or the small-leaf red sandalwood chair that collapsed in the study today was exposed, or Zhu Di was thinking that since Zhu Gaochi was already married, it would be disgraceful if he didn't tidy up his appearance.
Zhu Di was a man who valued money, and as a general he loved horses even more. It is estimated that the combination of the first two factors led to such a tough "weight loss" order.
Therefore, what Zhang Zhiwei was concerned about was how Zhu Gaoxu could add fuel to the fire and involve her in the conspiracy.
She drinks afternoon tea, eats dinner, and occasionally even has a drink and a midnight snack.
Zhu Gaochi lost weight and she had no food to eat...
:)
Zhu Gaochi was completely unaware of the danger Zhang Zhixiao was hiding. He sighed, but did not exaggerate or even cover up for his brother's inappropriate words. He just relayed,
"That bastard said that my sister-in-law is a noble lady in the capital, and she must not eat after noon to maintain her figure, so there is no way she would have dinner.
Anyway, the main point is that I am making excuses because I don’t want to listen to my father. I am here to make excuses for you.”
Zhang Zhiwei didn't care about the intrigues between brothers. After all, there was a throne to inherit in his family, and even an imperial throne in the future.
But... no food...
"...That's totally inappropriate!"
"Yes! Man is like iron and food is like steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will be hungry!"
"Yes, I'm very hungry!"
At this moment, Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhang Zhiwei's "never retreat" attitude, and realized that his wife's agreement did not seem to be out of sympathy for his situation, but for other reasons.
Zhang Zhiwei did not hide anything, he held Zhu Gaochi's chubby hands with both hands and said righteously,
"Brother, I am serious.
I have to eat two bowls for one meal, three meals a day, and even afternoon tea and midnight snacks."
Zhu Gaochi:? !!!
A bosom friend!!
"Me too! I have to eat four big bowls of rice for three meals a day, and also have a few side dishes.
Three meals a day is barely enough to fill my stomach, and now I only have a bowl of porridge... I can't survive!!!"
While the two of them were crying in each other's arms, Zhang Zhiwei began to plan.
Rather than saying that this was a fight for food, it would be more accurate to say that it was a game between Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu.
But Pang Pang knew that Zhu Di's starting point was for his health, so he did not have too much intention of fighting with his brothers, and was even more unwilling to think of his brother in a worse way.
Because they are born of the same father and mother, their relationship is different from that between other fighting half-brothers.
Zhu Gaochi was intelligent, and his intelligence supported him to have the heart of a saint with ease.
It’s a pity that he didn’t realize that Zhu Gaoxu was no longer his good brother.
Next year, Zhu Gaoxu, who is the same age as her, will marry Wei Yi, who is one year younger than her. From then on, the brothers will be completely separated.
He is no longer the good younger brother who wants to take care of his elder brother and says "The prince is weak, you should encourage him", but an ambitious "King of Han" who wants to take action ten years in advance.
Rather than waiting for Zhu Gaochi to realize the pain belatedly after the incident, it would be better for her to start poaching him slowly now.
It was the first time for Zhang Zhiwei to experience being involved in the struggles among sisters-in-law in a small family as the eldest daughter-in-law and then spreading it to the power in the court.
She feels very novel about everything that is about to happen and that she is about to face, so she will put more time into analyzing and managing it.
There is no end in sight for her long life journey.
Perhaps this loneliness is also a hurdle that must be overcome on the ruthless road.
The Tao is ruthless.
……
With a clear mind and goal, Zhang Zhiwei followed Zhu Gaochi and pretended to cry for a while, then he felt happy.
"Look, it's a big deal."
She shook her head, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, and began to talk to Zhu Gaochi.
"It's nothing more than your second brother trying to trip you up every day.
But Dad's concerns are right. Brother, you really need to lose some weight, but... you can't do it like this.
Forced fasting not only hurts your appetite, but is also not in line with the principles of health preservation.”
The way to keep in good health, these four words, no matter which dynasty they are placed in, are enough to make the eyes of these noble children light up.
Maintaining good health is the prerequisite for longevity, so who wouldn’t be tempted?
"Does Zhiwei have any good ideas?"
Zhu Gaochi was certain that his daughter-in-law, who almost had the word "proper" branded on her face, would not speak without purpose, so he hurriedly asked for advice humbly.
You can do anything, just let him eat some meat!
"Brother Nangong, do you think I'm fat?"
She lifted her sleeves, revealing her biceps on her slender arms, and then continued to explain,
“The key to maintaining health and losing weight is to find a balance.
Eating less may seem like losing weight, but in fact, what you eat less today will be made up next month.
Instead of being so inconsistent, it is better to eat more and eat well from the beginning.
The extra food intake can be reduced by more exercise, supplemented with herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, etc., to take care of both the inside and the outside. This is the best way. "
This is indeed the truth, and the court doctor has actually mentioned it a few times, but,
“But these acupuncture and medicine are useless.
well……"
Ultimately, it had no effect and was attributed to "not being able to control one's mouth" and "lack of self-discipline."
He really didn't want to suffer and be scolded again.
