Chapter 907 Regret?
"Zhen'er has really grown up." Qingning couldn't help but sigh.
Zhou Yuqi said: "You have to call him His Royal Highness the King of Yue."
Qingning glanced at Zhou Yuqi. He was right. "You have been on the battlefield together, and lived and died together."
Zhou Yiqing nodded. After eating for a while, Zhou Yiqing looked at his mother and said, "Mom, there is something I want to ask for your opinion on."
"What?" Qingning looked at her son. His previous nonchalant look was gone. He became more steady now. She was relieved and felt that her naughty son was very heartwarming.
No, what did she think? Her son is a general now, so he should be steady.
Besides, what's wrong with being steady?
Being steady warms the heart of a mother like her!
Zhou Yiqing swallowed his saliva and said, "In the twelfth month, Zhen'er will be seventeen years old. By then, can I ask my father and mother to ask the emperor for a marriage?"
Qingning and Yuqi smiled at each other.
It turned out that his son wanted to get married. However, Zhen'er was the apple of the eye of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, so they would probably not let Zhen'er get married at such a young age.
"I'm afraid this matter is not urgent..."
Zhou Yiqing understood that it seemed that his father and mother also knew the intentions of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
Qingning thought for a moment and said, "If the Queen Mother returns to Beijing, I can ask them when they think it is appropriate for Zhen'er to get married."
"Well, my son knows."
Zhou Yiqing understood what was going on while eating.

The night breeze is seductive.
Xie Ying and Xiao Chen were admiring the moon under the window.
While eating snacks, they talked about what they saw, the King of Yue, outside Xuanwu Gate today.
Xie Ying was really envious of his heroic appearance.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "She just had a good family background and happened to be ordered to go to Pingyue City State. If our Ah Ying wore the general's armor, she would be even more majestic."
Xie Ying was stunned. Was what he just said meant to comfort himself?
She was just envious, but didn't feel lost.
Furthermore, if Zhen'er knew that her brother said that she became a general because of her good family background...
Thinking of this, Xie Ying couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Chen saw her smile and felt happy inside, "The results will be announced in a few days."
Xie Ying looked at him, "Then, our family, the three of us siblings..."
"This is a secret of the Heavenly Family."
Xie Ying opened her mouth and said, "Okay, I overstepped my bounds. I shouldn't have asked."
"You can ask, but..." Xiao Chen looked at her and smiled.
But what?
"The final results have not come out yet. The adults are repeatedly selecting from the excellent articles to select the best ones."
Yes, thousands of students study hard for ten years just to pass the imperial examination.
Adults should really be careful.
Xie Ying actually had no confidence in herself, but she was looking forward to seeing whether Tao Wenjun was selected, and whether people like Song Yunxian and Xie Shanxiang were among the top 100.
There is also Xie Yunce, who has loved studying since he was young and is determined to have a top scholar in the Duke's Mansion.
Although he is only fourteen years old this year, he has studied in the clan school for many years.
Xiao Chen put his arm around her shoulders, and they looked at the moon under the window. They snuggled together very naturally, just like a young couple on their honeymoon.
Xie Ying yawned.
Xiao Chen asked: "Then settle it earlier?"
"Ah."
"Then..." Xiao Chen stopped talking halfway when their eyes met. The girl's white neck slightly raised, and the young man lowered his head. Their shadows intertwined under the moon, and their breaths intertwined.
Xiao Chen looked into the girl's eyes with lingering interest, and she deliberately teased him by not letting him kiss her.
"Anyway, we've already kissed, we can't keep kissing." Xie Ying said, pursing her lips.
"Ok."
It was time for him to return to his own residence.
After Xiao Chen left, Xie Ying looked at the place where he disappeared, feeling both sweet and empty in her heart.
She feels so bad!
I can't really let go, nor can I really agree to his request.
----
Three days later.
Xiao Yao rewarded the three armies in the court and appointed a group of meritorious generals.
Zhou Yiqing was named the Great General Guarding the Country.
Yu Tong was named General Zhenyuan.
Li Gao was named General Changyuan.
……
The celebration banquet was held in the Wende Hall.
All civil and military officials above the third rank were present.
The Left Prime Minister, the Prime Minister, other ministers, as well as Wei Shuying, Zhou Yuqi and others also congratulated His Royal Highness the King of Yue, Zhou Yuqi, Li Gao, Li Yutong and other generals.
Xiao Zhenzhen looked at so many familiar people and suddenly thought of Lin Shian. She asked casually, and Xiao Chen said, "General Lin asked to go to the border."
"border……"
"Exactly."
Why would General Lin ask to go to such a difficult place as the border? However, he was the general promoted by his father, so he was naturally trustworthy.
"You'd better stop drinking." Xiao Chen saw Xiao Zhenzhen drink several glasses of wine. Although he didn't think women shouldn't drink, getting drunk was not a good thing for either man or woman.
"I'll drink it," Xiao Zhenzhen drank another cup, then looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Royal brother, you and Sister-in-law Aying..."
"You..." Xiao Chen was surprised, "Why are you calling me sister-in-law? Don't ruin Aying's reputation!"
Fortunately, those who were toasting each other probably didn't notice them talking.
Zhou Yiqing said: "Why not, I'll take Zhen'er back."
Xiao Chen nodded.
Before Zhou Yiqing stood up, she said, "Zhen'er doesn't have any bad intentions. She just hopes that His Royal Highness Prince Chen and Miss Xie can have a happy ending."
Xiao Chen smiled. The little girl still liked to meddle in her brother's affairs.
"Yes, that's what I mean. You must learn more from Yiqing... from Tuanzi."
Xiao Zhenzhen was burping as she spoke, and her words were a little unclear.
Xiao Yao looked at her shaking head and was afraid that she might get really drunk, so she ordered people to send her back to the Prince of Yue's Palace.
Xiao Chen and Zhou Yiqing took on this task automatically.
King Yue, King Chen, Zhou Yiqing and others all left the table, and the celebration banquet naturally ended.
Xiao Yao was naturally a little drunk, "Yun Chu, let's go too."
"it is good."
Xie Yunchu supported her, while Tang An, Yi Rui and others followed closely behind.
After walking out of Wende Hall, Xiao Yao suddenly looked in the direction of the imperial study, "Oh, no, no, I have something else to do."
As she spoke, she waved to Tang An and Yi Rui, "Help me to the imperial study."
"I'll help you go." Xie Yunchu said.
Xiao Yao laughed and held the young man's face with both hands. "No, no need. I, I want to talk to Zhang, Zhang Zhao alone about what happened today."
"Zhang Zhao?"
"Ah."
Xie Yunchu's chest trembled slightly. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He became a little extreme when he heard Zhang Zhao's name.
"Even I can't listen?"
Xiao Yao shook her head. "You want to listen? If, if you want to listen..."
What if he were to listen?
"But didn't you say that you wouldn't get involved in politics? Are you changing your mind?" Xiao Yao asked while feeling a little drunk.
Xie Yunchu opened his mouth and said, "Then, I'll wait for you outside the imperial study?"
Xiao Yao thought about it and said, "Well, okay."
Hearing her say this, Xie Yunchu heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt narrow-minded. How could he not trust his sister? "Forget it, I'll go back to the palace and prepare water for my sister to bathe."
