Chapter 737: You and I are a perfect match?
Xiao Yao thought for a while, "In that case," she looked at Xiao Chen, "Brother, when do you think it is appropriate to go on the expedition?"
Xiao Chen began to calculate in the hall, and after a long while he said, "Half a month later."
"Okay, then half a month later."
Xiao Zhenzhen's heart was filled with excitement. She would be leaving the capital in half a month to go to the battlefield on behalf of her elder sister. The thought of it was very exciting.
Xiao Yao glanced at Tang An, who immediately understood. He flicked his whisk and shouted, "If you have something to say, please report. If you don't, please leave the court."
The ministers looked at each other, and no one stepped out.
Xiao Yao stood up and walked towards the back of the Qinzheng Palace. Tang An flicked his whisk and said, "Dismiss the court." Then he followed the emperor.
In the court.
Congratulations came one after another, although the Queen and the ministers might feel a little uncomfortable with it.
But, he is a prince appointed by the emperor himself, who dares to object?
After a full quarter of an hour, only Xiao Chen, Xiao Zhenzhen and Zhou Yiqing were left in the court.
Xiao Zhenzhen took a deep breath, looked at the court, and thought of the scene just now. Among all the civil and military officials in the court, she was the only one with a fancy look.
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Yiqing asked.
"Look here. Just now, except for my sister and the two maids behind her, all of them were men."
Xiao Chen said: "In the future, there will definitely be excellent female officials standing here."
"Ah."
Zhou Yiqing said: "Your Highness the King of Yue will definitely return in defeat this time when he goes to conquer Yue!"
"What a disappointing outcome! Then I will marry you."
"Your Majesty, you are not allowed to regret it."
"Never regret it!"
Zhou Yiqing didn't disbelieve it, but looked at His Royal Highness Prince Chen jokingly, "Your Royal Highness Prince Chen, you have to testify for me."
Xiao Chen nodded and let the two of them play, "Okay." He walked out of the hall.
Outside the main hall.
Zhang Yongzhao seemed to be still talking to Li Yingu, explaining something. When he saw the three people coming out, Zhang Yongzhao immediately asked Li Yingu to go first.
Li Yingu bowed from a distance, then strode away.
Zhang Yongzhao walked a few steps towards the three people, "Your Highness Prince Chen, Your Highness Prince Yue, General Zhou."
"Master Zhang, what are you doing?"
Zhang Yongzhao took a deep breath. In the court, no one mentioned Tao Wenjun's case. He still felt that his mentor and his mistress died too unjustly. "Now, my mentor has passed away forever, my junior sister Tao Wenjun is in the Imperial Women's College, and I will be returning to Jiangnan soon, so..."
He looked at Prince Chen and Prince Yue. Prince Yue was going to Yuecheng State, so he could only entrust Prince Chen with his affairs. “Please, Prince Chen, take good care of my orphan Junior Sister.”
So it was this matter, "Don't worry, Master Zhang. As for Tao Wenjun's case, I and Xie Fengjun had already submitted a secret memorial before the rebellion, and Tao Wenjun's qualification for the imperial examination had long been restored.
As long as she doesn't make mistakes and has half the real talent and knowledge, Tao Wenjun's future is immeasurable."
Zhang Yongzhao suddenly realized: "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Chen, for your advice."
It seems that, although matters such as women's enrollment in school and officialdom were not mentioned in the court today, everyone secretly knew what the emperor wanted to do.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly: You’re welcome.
Zhang Yongzhao said goodbye.
Xiao Zhenzhen and Zhou Yiqing also said goodbye to him, "Master Zhang, take care."
"Your Highness the King of Yue, General Zhou, please stay." How could he dare to let these two people see him off?
The sun is shining brightly.
Xiao Zhenzhen raised her hand to shade herself from the sun and sighed, "We have to wait until Chang Weihao and his men are executed before we set out for Yuecheng State."
"Well, during this period, whatever Zhen'er wants to do, I will accompany you."
Xiao Zhenzhen looked at Zhou Yiqing with a smile and raised her hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead. "Don't move. You're sweating."
Zhou Yiqing was stunned, and felt that Xiao Chen next to him was particularly eye-catching. This, Zhen'er was too bold!
Xiao Chen frowned subconsciously when he saw it, "I'll go first."
"Where is my brother going?"
"Qin Tian Jian."
"Then are you going to see Sister Tao?" No, she should go see Master Ding as well. "Then wait for me, I'll also go to the Imperial Observatory and then to the Academy."
Xiao Zhenzhen pulled Zhou Yiqing's sleeve, and Zhou Yiqing chased after him.
Xiao Chen said "hmm" and walked as fast as the wind.
"Brother, please change into your court robes first. Can you wait for me?"
"You and General Zhou will follow slowly." His residence was outside the palace. After meeting Master Ding, he returned home to change into court clothes, taking a different route from Xiao Zhenzhen.
Xiao Zhenzhen opened her mouth, then stopped and looked at Zhou Yiqing, "Then wait for me."
Even without Xiao Zhenzhen telling her, Zhou Yiqing would naturally wait for her, but, "I can't get into the Imperial Observatory."
Xiao Zhenzhen was stunned. "Xie Ying can get in, so why is it that you and I are together, so it's not considered a special fate?"
"Me...me?" Can he enter the Imperial Observatory?
“Well, among ordinary people, there are also those with special fates, such as Uncle Rong’s personal bodyguard, Uncle Jingwen.”
Xiao Zhenzhen looked at Zhou Yiqing, "I heard that my brother took Sister Ying to the Imperial Observatory. Sister Ying and my brother have a connection, so she was able to enter the Imperial Observatory."
"If you and I are meant to be together, you should be able to get in."
Zhou Yiqing opened his mouth and suddenly remembered what Rong Xun had said to him at that time, "Zhen'er, do you still remember what Lord Rong said to me?"
"Well, you said, as Lord Rong said, you are very good."
"No, what he said was, 'You're pretty good, tell Zhen'er, just say I said that.'" Zhou Yiqing looked at Xiao Zhenzhen, the corners of his lips slightly raised, the corners of his mouth that were too happy to suppress, "That's exactly what he said."
Xiao Zhenzhen frowned, "Why? It must be because the teenage general is not afraid of the battlefield and is brave and resourceful, so you are welcome?"
"Do not--"
Zhou Yiqing thought about the look and tone of Lord Rong at that time, "His original words were to tell you that I'm fine. He said it himself!"
"This is clearly telling you that I'm fine. Lord Rong, is he saying that you and I are a perfect match?"
"Ah?" Xiao Zhenzhen had never thought of this possibility.
But based on Uncle Rong's ability and Zhou Yiqing's retelling of the original words, it really makes that sense.
"Ok?"
"Well, it seems to be a bit mysterious."
Zhou Yiqing was very happy. "Uncle Rong is really powerful. Not only can he attract thunder, but I didn't say anything. Before I knew my feelings, I had never met Uncle Rong. Even you didn't know, but he knew."
My heartbeat accelerated.
Seeing him calling him Uncle Rong so naturally, Xiao Zhenzhen felt angry and amused at the same time, "It's easy for you to call him Uncle Rong."
"I..." Zhou Yiqing scratched his head, "Sorry, I'm too excited, Zhen'er, I'm really too excited!"
"When you come back from Yuecheng, marry me. Oh, I can marry you too, and we can live together in your prince's mansion, your big house!"
"Sister hasn't given me the big house yet."
"Sooner or later!"
"Yeah." Xiao Zhenzhen also breathed a sigh of relief. Even Uncle Rong said that Zhou Yiqing was a good person, so she liked Zhou Yiqing even more.
"Come on, go back to Litang Palace with me and change clothes first."
"Ah."
The two walked towards the Litang Palace. Xiao Zhenzhen thought about her brother's indifference to love. Her brother had personally given her the Peach Blossom Hairpin, so why was his love useless?
