Chapter 741: Would it be nice to let Brother Chen grow some love?
Xiao Zhenzhen smiled and flicked her forehead, "So sentimental."
"I, I told the truth."
"Well, when you're telling the truth, continue with what you were saying."
Zhou Yiqing came back to his senses, thinking about what just happened, "From the perspective of family and friends, Zhen'er knows that no matter for Prince Chen or Miss Xie, they are each other's only true destiny. There is nothing wrong with wanting to change it now while there is still time."
Xiao Zhenzhen nodded, "Yeah, that's it."
"But, what Tao Wenjun said is not wrong. After all, as the person involved, Miss Xie should not be kept in the dark by our tricks."
Xiao Zhenzhen interrupted, "Is it possible that she knew it first?"
She had heard about this matter from her elder sister and Xie Yunchu.
"Xie Ying knows?"
"Well, she definitely knew, but she didn't know that I was going to intervene to bring her and my brother together."
Zhou Yiqing smiled, and while struggling, he put his arm around the girl's shoulders, and they sat together like childhood sweethearts. "The incense that Master Ding gave me only affects your brother, not Miss Xie. You don't have to feel guilty."
"Miss Xie knows her fate with His Royal Highness Prince Chen. As relatives and friends, we have already matched them up if we can. What the future holds is up to them."
"That's all."
After saying that, Xiao Zhenzhen thought, "Then go back and try the incense and see if you will love me more."
"I already love you very much now."
The two looked at each other, and soon Zhou Jian's voice came from the front, "Your Majesty, General, the carriage that just passed by seems to be from the Qing Mansion."
"what?"
Xiao Zhenzhen immediately lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage and looked at the rear of the carriage which was already far away from them.
Zhou Jian continued, "I also saw Miss Xie's bodyguard Xie Zheng. I think Miss Xie is also in the carriage."
Xiao Zhenzhen frowned, "It's so late, and he just sent Sister Ying back?"
This morning, I didn't see Qing Chang'an at the morning court. I knew that he must have taken a day off and made a special appointment to meet with Sister Aying.
In this case, my brother's chances are slim.
Zhou Yiqing saw her clench her fist and gently held it, "If they are really destined to be together, you don't have to worry too much."
"But, didn't you hear what Master Ding said? If that fate had come a few years later, how much more grievances would Sister Ying have to endure?"
"I'm not mad at you, I'm just anxious," he paused, "I also know that being anxious is useless, I'll go find my sister."
"Ah."
Zhou Yiqing escorted her to the palace gate, and then reluctantly watched her leave in the sedan chair. Only after Xiao Zhenzhen disappeared did Zhou Yiqing return to the carriage, "Zhou Jian, return home."
----
After Xiao Zhenzhen returned to the palace, she waited outside Jinrong Palace for an hour before she saw Tang An and Yi Rui bringing people to deliver a lot of hot water.
I still remember that my father and mother also liked to drink the water called bath water at any time.
She probably knew something and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has summoned you." Jian Shun came over holding a whisk and said.
Xiao Zhenzhen said "hmm" and strode into the palace. In the main hall, Xiao Yao was wearing casual clothes with a loose belt.
"Where's Brother Xie?"
"Are you looking for me or Brother Xie?"
"Oh, of course I'm looking for Sister, I'm just asking Brother Xie."
Xiao Yao said, "He should take a break."
"Sister, before returning to Beijing, mother was still very worried about Brother Chen, so should we help Brother Chen?"
"We've helped him, but he doesn't seem to be enlightened or interested. What's the point of us being so anxious?"
Xiao Zhenzhen pouted, "Well, I went to see Master Ding today."
"Oh?"
"Master Ding also gave me something."
Xiao Yao looked at the clever sister, "What is that?"
"Aunt Yirui, please take your people and go down first." Xiao Zhenzhen said to Yirui who was standing aside.
Yi Rui glanced at the emperor, and when he nodded, she bowed and called for the people in the hall to go down together.
When there was no one around, Xiao Zhenzhen took out the incense that Master Ding had given her, "This is it, incense."
"Incense?"
"Yes, Master Ding gave it to me. He said that if I mix it with sandalwood and give it to Brother Chen, it can help Brother Chen and Sister Aying."
Xiao Yao frowned, took the tea can, then opened the lid and smelled it. It didn't look like there was any knockout drug, hallucinogen or the like in it.
"It was given by Master Ding, there can't be any problem with it?"
Xiao Yao smiled bitterly for a moment. What was she thinking? Her royal brother had grown up under the care of Master Ding. How could he harm her?
"I also met Tao Wenjun today. She said that although Uncle Rong made the divination, Sister Aying is the protagonist of this true relationship. She should have the final say. We can match them up, but we shouldn't go too far.
Sister, have you ever asked Sister Ying before if she likes my brother at all?"
Why would she ask?
However, "At that time, Ah Ying wanted to get close to your brother Chen because of your brother Xie."
"what?"
"At that time, I joked with Yunchu that if my brother didn't leave the Imperial Observatory and didn't marry and have children, I wouldn't let him sleep with me. After Ah Ying found out, she wanted to get close to your brother Chen, and even sent her portrait to your brother Chen."
Xiao Zhenzhen was speechless, "I didn't even know about such a big thing."
"This concerns the reputation of a girl, and must not be spread outside."
"I know."
Xiao Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, "Then why did Sister Ying give up again?"
Xiao Yao looked like she was disappointed with him, "Can you tolerate Zhou Yiqing being so arrogant and having no feelings for you, and not even looking at you?"
"Brother Chen, he hardly smiles at us, let alone outsiders. How dare Ying fall in love with a man like Brother Chen?"
Xiao Zhenzhen wrung her hands, "No wonder!"
"In the past, I also thought of taking advantage of her fear of Yun Chu, hoping that she would take the initiative to approach Brother Chen, but later, I also felt that this fate could never be this way. It depends on them themselves."
"Well, my sister is right. Then..." Xiao Zhenzhen looked at the tea can that her sister took over, "Should we return this incense to Brother Chen?"
"It's for Brother Chen. It's not for doing anything bad to A Ying. Use it!"
"Anyway, it was given by Master Ding, so it can't be a bad thing!" Xiao Yao frowned, but she didn't know what the incense was used for.
Xiao Zhenzhen said: "It's really not some kind of messed up drug, right? It's called aphrodisiac incense? The name makes me feel a little..." She couldn't explain it clearly, but she felt it was not suitable for children.
"Love fragrance, could it be some kind of fragrance that will make Brother Chen fall in love?"
"I do not know."
Xiao Zhenzhen put the tea box down and said, "Okay, leave this here. I'll ask someone from the Imperial Hospital to mix it with sandalwood to make new incense for him."
