After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

Song Nihuan felt that the man who came from not far away looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere. The uniforms they wore were the special uniforms of the emperor's personal guards. Although they had changed into new uniforms for the celebration, the emblem on their shoulders remained unchanged.

After Zhou Zhongben took the post of Minister of War, he became a civilian official and no longer led troops. However, with all nations coming to congratulate him on such a grand ceremony, he could not sit idle, so he took the post of Emperor's Personal Guard and led the troops to protect the safety of the imperial city.

He was familiar with Song Nihuan and had peeked at her several times when he was leading the team on patrol.

She is indeed the beauty that Xie Tan has been thinking about for many years.

Although the beauty is beautiful, she is very cold. The eyes she looks at people are also cold and boring.

But she looked at him with a smile on her face.

Behind Zhou Zhong, the emperor's personal guards formed a horizontal line. All of them were tall, long-legged, and strong. They blocked Song Nihuan's carriage, completely separating her from the foreign men.

"Young Master Xie, are you okay?" Zhou Zhong looked at Xie Yunjie and asked with concern.

This was the third place winner who had been paraded in the streets on horseback wearing a red robe and a flower in his hair a few days ago. This was the third place winner who had fought his way out of a group of poor families' hard-working young men with his own strength when the emperor was intentionally or unintentionally suppressing the wealthy and powerful families and showing favoritism to the poor.

Such a popular figure cannot afford any mistakes.

Xie Yunjie nodded, calmed down his excitement, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Lord Zhou, I am fine."

After confirming Xie Yunjie's safety, Zhou Zhong smiled at the foreign man and said, "Sir, are you lost? How did you get here? Would you like me to take you to the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"

Seeing this, the man restrained his unruly manner and said, "You people in the Central Plains are really weird. Aren't you supposed to be courteous to the wise? Why is it so difficult for me to ask for a palace maid as a gift?"

The use of the phrase "respecting the wise and humble oneself" is very clever here.

Xie Yunjie was young after all, and a look of disdain appeared on his face.

Zhou Zhong's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Your Excellency has misunderstood. She is not a palace maid, but our Majesty's sweetheart, Lady Song. The ceremony is in progress, and if you leave without permission, I'm afraid that someone with ulterior motives will regard you as being dissatisfied with Da Zhao. Please return to the banquet as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty's sweetheart".

The man understood.

He had heard about the deeds of the new emperor of Dazhao. Just now, when he took a glimpse of him in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he was so overwhelmed by the emperor's aura that was as powerful as an army. It seemed that he could not touch this woman.

"Well, my horse needs to be walked every day. I came here just now because I was really worried." The man excused himself tactfully and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Xie Yunjie interrupted, "You scared Madam Song's horse and frightened her, and you haven't given an explanation yet."

Zhou Zhong touched his nose, crossed his arms and looked at the foreign man.

The man had no choice but to grit his teeth, turn around, and clasp his fists towards Song Nihuan in the carriage, saying, "It was my negligence just now. I'm sorry! I disturbed you!"

Song Nihuan nodded.

The man turned his horse and headed in the opposite direction.

"Thank you." Song Nihuan said to Zhou Zhong.

Zhou Zhong smiled. This was the first time she had looked him in the eye in these days. He waved his hand and said, "My lady, please be polite! We are the emperor's personal guards, responsible for guarding the imperial city. Your safety is naturally our responsibility. What happened just now? Did you get scared?"

"Hey! Isn't this Ling Yuan?" He suddenly looked at the white horse, walked forward, looked left and right, and said in surprise, "This is the horse that His Majesty personally used to deliver babies. He usually doesn't want to ride it. Among the batch of horses brought from the North, it is the most beautiful. Why is it pulling the cart now? "

"Lingyuan? Does it have a name?" Song Nihuan asked.

"Yes, the name your majesty chose is very elegant! It's a good thing that Ling Yuan is holding you. Ling Yuan understands human nature very well and knows what's going on. If any other horse was startled, they would definitely throw you to pieces."

Hearing Zhou Zhong's praise, Ling Yuan shook her ears proudly and white air came out of her nostrils.

Song Nihuan couldn't help laughing, it turned out that he was such an excellent pony.

"Thank you, who are you?" she asked, thinking that she should say a few good words for the general in front of Xie Tan.

"My last name is Zhou, and I'm the Minister of War. I can't sit still... I feel more comfortable leading troops." Zhou Zhong said. Seeing the smile on her face, he said a little embarrassedly, "You don't have to be so formal with me. I've known your name for several years. Just smile more at your majesty..."

Song Nihuan smiled awkwardly, "Oh, it's the old man beside His Majesty, right? Then I have to thank Lord Zhou for saving me. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how this... Lord Xie and I would have ended."

The knife was placed on his neck just now, but the young man showed no intention of retreating.

Xie Yunjie...

Song Nihuan's eyes fell on the young man. Before she could say anything to thank him, he interrupted her and said, "Madam Song, you don't have to thank me. It's a happy event that all nations come to congratulate us. It's that barbarian who doesn't know how to advance or retreat and has no shame. If it weren't for Madam Song today, I would have stopped him."

The next moment, he changed the subject and pleaded gracefully, "Sir Zhou, I want to talk to Madam Song alone."

Zhou Zhong and Song Nihuan were both stunned. Then Zhou Zhong looked at Song Nihuan. When he saw her nod in agreement, he led his troops away.

Zhou Zhong looked back every few steps, his heart pounding. This young Xie Tanhua also came from the Xie family. He was of the same clan and generation as Xie Yunji. The Xie family was a huge family with many members. He wondered if he had seen his former sister-in-law?

How did they meet each other?

And this Miss Song, today I finally got to talk to her, she is not as difficult to get along with as I imagined, why is Xie Tan making such slow progress with her? She is quite courageous, in this situation, a woman who usually stays in seclusion would have been frightened to death, but she seems to be quite calm...

At the horse farm, Xie Yunjie looked at Song Nihuan, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't know where to start.

He had seen this sister-in-law before.

At Xie's house in Chen County, my sister-in-law once got lost and asked him for directions.

My sister-in-law did not comb her hair like a woman. She put her jet-black braid on her right shoulder like an unmarried girl. She was wrapped in a snow-white fox fur cloak, revealing a face as beautiful as a peach. Her voice was soft and her smile was more beautiful than the clouds not far away.

Xie Yunjie was different from other members of the Xie family in the Xie Mansion of Chen County who were sloppy and lazy, and also different from Xie Yunji who was gifted. He studied hard for 16 years just to gain fame and devote himself to the country.

She that night and the evening clouds were engraved in his heart. Suddenly, there was something indescribable in Xie Yunjie's life of hard study.
