Chapter 906: Not So Pure-hearted
Xiao Zhenzhen smiled and touched his hand, "Of course, I'm going to teach him how to pursue his sweetheart. It's been several months, and the marriage has been granted, but even the wedding date hasn't been set. My brother is really too inferior."
Zhou Yiqing looked at her hand stroking the back of his hand, and he also wanted to marry Zhen'er.
Now, Zhen'er is almost seventeen years old, which is the age stipulated by the law.
"What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Zhenzhen waved her hand in front of his eyes, and Zhou Yiqing held her hand, "I was wondering when we are going to get married."
"We..."
"Ah."
"I told you, Father, the Emperor, and Mother said that they wanted me to stay for a few more years."
Hearing this, Zhou Yiqing felt unbearable. Okay, okay...
"Then will you help my brother?"
Zhou Yiqing frowned slightly. He was almost four years younger than Xiao Chen. Wasn't it too strange for him to give advice to His Royal Highness Prince Chen?
"Little dumpling..."
Zhou Yiqing: “…” He shouldn’t have told her that his childhood nickname was Xiaotuanzi!
My parents said that the name "Little Tuanzi" was given to him by the Empress Dowager.
Xiao Zhenzhen stood up and pulled his sleeve, "Good boy, just agree to it."
"But how should I tell His Royal Highness Prince Chen?"
"You can tell without guessing that my brother is shameless. Just tell her that as long as Sister Ying likes him, he should pursue her shamelessly."
Zhou Yiqing pursed his lips. How could this sound like someone was talking about him?
Xiao Zhenzhen burst out laughing, "I'm talking about you, just like you were back then."
Moreover, she had taught Sister-in-law Aying to be more proactive. She didn't know what went wrong here. The marriage had been granted, but the distinction was still so clear.
Zhou Yiqing sighed, "I'll try."
"Well, why don't you go now, and then go back to see Master Zhou and Aunt Qingning, and we'll meet again tomorrow."
Seeing that she had already arranged her time, Zhou Yiqing had no choice but to nod.
As long as he could get Zhen'er's love, he would be happy to do anything she asked him to do. "Then I will go and ask for an audience now."
"My brother has been busy with the examination papers lately, so I guess he is in the government office."
"I'll go to the government office."
"it is good."
After leaving the Prince of Yue's Mansion, Zhou Yiqing went directly to the government office, where many officials were still reading by lamplight at night.
But Xiao Chen was the only one missing.
Zhou Yiqing went to Prince Chen's Mansion again, but did not see Xiao Chen. "Then may I ask when His Royal Highness Prince Chen will be back?"
"That's not necessarily the case."
uncertain?
"Didn't His Royal Highness Prince Chen say where he was going?"
The doorman shook his head and said no more.
Zhou Yiqing was a little confused. This person was neither in the government office nor in the palace, and it was even less likely to be in the Imperial Women's Prison. So where did Xiao Chen go?
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but think of a place.
After he arrived at the Duke's Mansion, he walked around and saw the carriage of Prince Chen's Mansion parked in front of the Yuelai Inn.
It only takes a stick of incense to get from Yuelai Inn to the Duke's Mansion.
When he walked in, he happened to dream of Luo Feng having dinner.
Luo Feng felt very uncomfortable being stared at by Zhou Yiqing, so he asked, "You, who are you?"
Zhou Yiqing guessed that he must not have gone to Xuanwu Gate today, so he did not see him returning on a war horse.
"Are you Luo Feng?"
Luo Feng was so nervous that he wanted to draw his sword, but Zhou Yiqing held down the hilt with his big hand, "I am Zhou Yiqing."
"General Zheng Yue." Luo Feng seemed stunned.
Because he was accompanying the prince on business today, he did not see the grand ceremony of the King of Yue, General Zheng Yue and others returning to the capital.
But why didn’t he know Zhou Yiqing, but Zhou Yiqing knew him?
Zhou Yiqing saw his confusion and said, "I went to Prince Chen's Mansion. They said that you accompanied His Royal Highness Prince Chen out of the house. They said that you are a promising young man with good looks."
Born as a secret guard, good-looking, and young. These three conditions were met. After he entered the Yuelai Inn, he immediately locked onto the man who seemed to have good martial arts skills.
"I admire you!" Luo Feng admired him from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, these martial artists, in addition to carrying swords when they go out, also have a different aura from ordinary people.
It was understandable that Zhou Yiqing could recognize him.
Zhou Yiqing didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Yue ordered me to care about His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen. I went to the government office and the Prince of Chen's mansion, but he was not there."
Luo Feng took a sip of wine, "This, this..."
"His Royal Highness Prince Chen is..."
"Shh..."
Luo Feng was really afraid that he would say nonsense, there were so many people here.
Seeing Luo Feng's reaction, Zhou Yiqing smiled and said, Zhen'er, Zhen'er, you really made a mistake. Your royal brother may not be so pure-hearted.
"Okay, I understand. Just pretend I've never been here." There was no need to tell His Royal Highness Prince Chen.
Luo Feng clasped his fists, "Yes."
Then he pointed to the wine jug and said, "Would you be so kind as to buy the General a drink?"
As he spoke, Luo Feng had already poured a glass of wine. Zhou Yiqing picked it up and drank it in one gulp. "Drink again when there's a chance."
"Yes."
Zhou Yiqing stood up. His father and mother had only seen him briefly today, and they would probably have prepared dinner and were waiting for him to come home.
After Zhou Yiqing left, Luo Feng's mouth was open but he couldn't close it.
This great general really has no airs at all.
His Royal Highness the King of Yue has really good taste. Not only is he handsome and magnanimous, he is also not fussy about details. Such a great general is a blessing to the Cangyun Kingdom.
The Governor's Mansion.
Zhou Jian was standing outside the door. When he saw Zhou Yiqing, he asked, "Has His Royal Highness the King of Yue not come yet?"
"I have come a long way, but I just rested for one night in the suburbs of Beijing. Today I have to go through another round of hardship. How can I have time to visit relatives and friends?"
Zhou Jian smiled and replied, "Master, Madam has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Well, go do your thing and get some rest."
"Yes, I'm not tired."
"Whether you are tired or not, go ahead and do your thing."
Zhou Jian said "Oh" and stopped chasing after Zhou Yiqing. Instead, he stopped and waited until he could no longer see Zhou Yiqing before going back to his own residence.
Zhou Yiqing went straight to the dining room.
Qingning, Zhou Yuqi was already looking forward to it.
After hearing the servants greeting them, Qingning quickly stood up and just as he reached the door, he ran into his son.
"All the dishes I made today are your favorites."
"Thank you, mother."
After the mother and son entered, Zhou Yiqing bowed to Zhou Yuqi, "Father."
"Sit down and eat."
"it is good."
After sitting down, Qingning dismissed all the servants and then picked up a lot of Zhou Yiqing's favorite dishes for him.
"Mother, it's OK."
Qingning looked at her son. She used to talk to him often when he was around, but now she hasn't seen him for a long time and she only misses him endlessly.
"This battle must have been very hard, right?"
"It wasn't hard, just like the Jinzhou Rebellion. However, because there were still many complicated forces over there, we returned to the capital only after we crushed them all."
When talking about the affairs of Yuecheng State, Zhou Yiqing talked incessantly, and Zhou Yuqi and Qingning listened with great interest.
Although his son described those battles as magnificent acts of warfare, they could hear the danger in them.
The most unexpected thing is that Zhen'er, a girl, is also fighting bravely on the battlefield!
