Chapter 1420 Happy Princess, Jinyiwei

"how is it going?"

Zhan Pianpian was wearing a goose yellow long skirt. She pinched the hem of her skirt, turned around in front of Zhou Chen, and asked with anticipation.

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "No, the color is too plain and quiet, and it doesn't match your personality and aura."

"What do you mean, are you saying I have a bad personality?"

Zhan Pianpian asked very dissatisfiedly, it's just putting on clothes, why does it have to do with personality and aura? It wasn't so troublesome for her to put on clothes in the palace.

When she came to this clothing store, she had already changed six sets of clothes. It was quite troublesome for women in ancient times to change clothes. After changing six sets of clothes, she was really exhausted.

"I'm the one buying the clothes, why should I listen to you?"

"Only if I pay."

"you."

Zhan Pianpian was so angry that her teeth itched. She had reason to suspect that Zhou Chen did it on purpose by not allowing her to take gold, silver and jewelry when she left the palace.

"Try the red one again."

Zhan Pianpian pouted and glared at Zhou Chen angrily, but still obediently walked into the inner room to change clothes.

After a while, Zhan Pianpian came out in a red dress, and Zhou Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

"This one is good, let's take it. Also, pack up the blue one from before."

Zhan Pianpian breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and asked, "Is this one really nice looking?"

The shopkeeper beside him also praised with a smile on his face: "Madam, your husband has a good taste. This dress looks really good on you..."

"We are not a couple."

Zhan Pianpian's eager explanation made the shopkeeper a little at a loss, but the businessman was thick-skinned enough.

"It's my fault. I said the wrong thing. You two are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman."

Their faces were full of ingratiating smiles. If they were not husband and wife, then they were an engaged couple. They were all the same, all the same.

Zhan Pianpian wanted to explain again: "We are not..."

"Okay, boss, let's settle the bill."

Zhou Chen asked the shopkeeper to pack the clothes, and then took Zhan Pianpian out of the store.

Zhan Pianpian asked depressedly: "Why didn't you explain it just now?"

"What do you want to explain? Explain that we are fine? It's fine that I, a man, will take you clothes shopping?"

"Don't worry about what others think. You won't see them again anyway, so it's just a waste of time."

Zhan Pianpian felt that what Zhou Chen said was wrong, but she couldn't find a reason to refute. Seeing Zhou Chen walking in front of her carrying her clothes, she smiled sweetly and followed him in small jumps.

It’s great that no one knows me. I don’t have to remember the rules all the time, whether sitting, lying down or walking, and pay attention to my image everywhere.

"Zhou Chen, where are we going next?"

"Sugar-coated haws."

Zhou Chen pointed to a vendor selling candied haws in front of him, bought two and gave them all to Zhan Pianpian. Zhan Pianpian happily took one in his left hand and one in his right hand, as happy as a five-year-old child.

"What is that, Zhou Chen, look at that, is it a horse? Why are there two such big bumps on its back?"

What the hell are these two big lumps!

Zhou Chen looked in the direction of Zhan Pianpian's finger and almost burst out laughing. Camels and horses, apart from the fact that they both have four legs, there are no other similarities between them.

You mistook a camel for a horse, and it even has two big bumps on it. Princess, are you trying to make me laugh to death?
"That's not a horse, that's a camel."

But he was also wondering why there were camels in Shangjing City?

Zhan Pianpian looked confused: "Camel? What is that? Is it a relative of the horse?"

This child is really hopeless. If she sees a deer, she would probably mistake it for a horse.

Along the way, Zhan Pianpian was like a little kid who knew nothing. Whenever he saw something interesting or something he had never seen before, he would excitedly pull Zhou Chen to ask about it. Only after getting Zhou Chen's permission would he touch or take it.

Zhou Chen turned into a parent taking care of the child, constantly explaining things to Zhan Pianpian, and was often amused by her silly train of thought.

Although Zhan Pianpian was a princess, she was curious and happy about everything she saw, probably because she finally got to go out. She followed Zhou Chen for more than an hour without complaining of being tired.

"hungry?"

"Not hungry."

Zhou Chen also felt that his question was in vain. She had been eating all the way, so how could she be hungry?

But it was already noon and the sun was shining brightly.

"You're not hungry, but I am. Let's go to the restaurant and find a place to sit down and rest. After dinner, I'll take you to see other places."

"Okay, okay."

Zhan Pianpian was very happy. After just one morning, she had completely lost her guard against Zhou Chen and even had a strong sense of trust in him. If Zhou Chen was not around, she would definitely not dare to walk around the street alone.

Zhou Chen found a restaurant with a nice environment, sat down by the window on the second floor, and casually ordered seven or eight dishes.

Zhan Pianpian studied the katydid that Zhou Chen had just bought for her and found this little insect very interesting.

Zhou Chen glanced around, revealing a half-smile, and then said to Zhan Pianpian: "Wait for me here, I'm going out to buy something."

But Zhan Pianpian grabbed his clothes with a nervous look on her face.

"Where are you going? You can't leave me behind. I don't have any money."

Zhou Chen smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I brought you here, I will definitely be responsible and will not abandon you."

Seeing that she was still worried, Zhou Chen took out a silver ingot and gave it to her.

"I'll be back soon."

"Then you have to hurry up. I'm alone and a little scared and nervous." Zhan Pianpian seemed uneasy.

Zhou Chen smiled at her comfortingly before turning around and going downstairs.

Of course, he didn't leave for no reason. When he took Zhan Pianpian shopping before, he had already discovered that someone was following them, but he just ignored it.

This is Shangjing City, the power center of Northern Qi. The Northern Qi Jinyiwei has a very strong influence here. They may not know Zhou Chen, but Zhan Pianpian, the eldest princess of Northern Qi, is quite conspicuous. It is not difficult to find them with a full search.

They were discovered but no action was taken. It was obviously an order from above. It seemed that the declaration of war he left behind had a deterrent effect, but it was still not enough.

In an open-air teahouse not far from the restaurant, two men in ordinary clothes were sitting and drinking tea. However, if you look closely, you will find that they are not talking and laughing like the other guests. While drinking tea, their eyes are always staring towards the second floor of the restaurant.

Suddenly, a figure sat down in the empty seat next to them. Both of them looked over unconsciously, but the next moment, their breathing stagnated.

"You two seem surprised to see me." Zhou Chen asked with a smile on his face and a soft tone.

But the two men did not dare to relax, because they were responsible for tracking, but they were found by the real owner, and it was obvious that this person had discovered them.

"Don't be nervous. I know why you are following me. You are from the Royal Guards, right? Did Shen Zhong send you here?"

The two men's expressions suddenly changed, but before they could take any action, Zhou Chen's eyes suddenly widened, and the two men felt a terrifying aura coming at them. The true energy that erupted from Zhou Chen's body made them unable to even move their fingers.

"I won't kill you, but you go back and tell Shen Zhong that you can follow me, but it's best not to get within thirty feet. Otherwise, he won't be able to withstand the wrath of the Grand Master."

After saying this, Zhou Chen slowly stood up and walked to the small stall next to him under their gaze.

But even after Zhou Chen left, they were still unable to move. Their whole bodies seemed stiff and they couldn't move even a finger.

The two were extremely shocked. They were both experts in the Jinyiwei, with the strength of the seventh rank. If they joined forces, they could even defeat the eighth rank.

But just a look from Zhou Chen made them break out in cold sweat and unable to move. If the other party wanted to kill them, it would be easier than killing a chicken. It was really terrifying.

They were just following orders to find someone, who would have thought they would encounter such a terrifying existence.

It was not until Zhou Chen bought something unknown and returned to the second floor of the restaurant that they finally regained control of their bodies.

"Whirring whirring……"

The two of them were gasping for breath, like drowning people being rescued from the shore.

After resuming their actions, they looked at each other, then stood up and left at the same time without hesitation, preparing to go back and report.

Ever since Zhou Chen left, Zhan Pianpian had been feeling uneasy. It was not until Zhou Chen came back that she began to smile brightly again.

"Yes, I bought it for you."

Zhou Chen placed the white embroidered cloth shoes he bought in front of Zhan Pianpian.

"Change into these shoes later so you can walk more comfortably."

Zhan Pianpian stared at the embroidered shoes in her hands in a daze. As the eldest princess of Northern Qi, she had everything she needed. Even if she lacked something, someone would find it for her.

This was the first time someone gave her shoes, and it was a man. This made her feel very strange, and it seemed like something was growing in her heart.

"Why, you don't like this style? Then I'll go get another pair?"

"No, you don't have to return it. I like it very much. Thank you."

Zhou Chen laughed and said, "Why thank me? Since I brought you out, I must take good care of you. It's just a pair of shoes."

To Zhan Pianpian, this is more than just a pair of shoes.

The food and wine were slowly arriving. Zhou Chen was indeed hungry, so he started to eat with big mouthfuls. Zhan Pianpian, who was not very hungry to begin with, also started to eat in small bites after seeing how relishing the meal Zhou Chen was eating.

Northern Qi imperial city, harem.

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi is summoning the commander of the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division, Shen Zhong.

"You mean to say that the man with the eldest princess is a man, a man who looks only in his twenties?"

After listening to Shen Zhong's report, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi was very shocked. They had previously guessed that the person who took Zhan Pianpian away was a great master, but Shen Zhong actually found out that it was a young man who looked like a young master. How could she not be surprised?

"Is he really a grandmaster?"

As the most important official of Northern Qi, Shen Zhong holds tremendous power, but at this moment his face is solemn and serious.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, he said so himself. My people have come into contact with him. In front of him, two seventh-rank masters were unable to move with just a glance. Even a ninth-rank master would find it difficult to do so."

"Would a Grand Master be that young? And aren't there only four Grand Masters in the world? What about you? Do you think he is a Grand Master?"

"I am not sure. After all, I have not seen him fight with my own eyes. However, the word 'war' on the letter is indeed scary. Queen Mother, how about I have someone try him again?"

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi did not look very good. A suspected grandmaster suddenly appeared. There was no news from Haitang Duoduo yet, so she was under a lot of pressure.

"How can we try? Didn't you say he had someone warn you? What if he really is a Grandmaster?"

In fact, Shen Zhong was even more confused than the empress dowager. After all, he was also a martial artist and had seen the abilities of Grandmaster Ku He. When a Grandmaster who looked to be in his twenties suddenly appeared, his first reaction was disbelief.

There were only two seventh-rank subordinates who praised Zhou Chen to be so great. Add to that the letter. This no longer seemed like the means of a normal warrior. Even a ninth-rank peak warrior might not be able to do it, right?
"You can try, but you can't use the Jinyiwei. There are many masters in the capital who have not yet surrendered to the court. I can have people spend a lot of money to ask them to do it. As long as we don't do it ourselves, it won't count as a quarrel. Even if he is really a grandmaster, we still have Lord Ku He."

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi pondered for a moment and said: "If you think it's okay, then give it a try."

Of course, she also wanted to know whether Zhou Chen was a grandmaster. If not, then everything would be easy. But if he was, they would have to find a way to deal with it.

In the beginning, the mother and daughter were able to sit firmly on the throne thanks to Ku He, so she knew very well how terrifying the Grand Master was. Unless it was absolutely necessary, even she, the high and mighty Queen Mother, did not want to offend a Grand Master.

The little emperor Zhan Doudou soon found out about the situation. In fact, she did not agree with Shen Zhong's approach. Haitang Duoduo had already taken the letter of challenge to find Ku He. As long as Ku He read it, she would know whether the other party was a grandmaster or not. It would not take much time to go back and forth. It was better not to test it if possible. Who knew what kind of temper the other party had.

However, when she learned that the other party was only in his twenties, she became very curious. Is there really such a young grandmaster in the world?
After Zhou Chen had dinner with Zhan Pianpian in the restaurant, he rested for a while before coming out of the restaurant.

He took Zhan Pianpian to stroll around the inner city for a while, and then went to the outer city, visiting many places.

On the way back, Zhou Chen asked Zhan Pianpian: "When do you want to go back to the palace? I will take you back."

Zhan Pianpian was immediately nervous when she heard this: "Are we going back now? Can't we play for a few more days? I left a letter to my mother and His Majesty, saying that I would go back in a few days. If I go back today, it will be difficult to explain."

Zhou Chen looked surprised. He didn't expect that Zhan Pianpian, who was as naive as a little white rabbit, actually had such a side to him. This was a case of acting first and reporting later.

"If you don't go back, aren't you afraid that it will be bad for your reputation?"

"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will not make it public."

Zhan Pianpian showed a pitiful look: "I finally got out of the palace once, can you let me play outside for a few more days?"

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and said, "In this case, you can't stay in the inn like me. I'll take you to a place that should make you feel at ease."

"Where?"

"The residence of Zhuang Mohan, the great master of literature."
