"Mother?"

Seeing that his mother didn't say anything, Zhou Yiqing called out softly, but got no response, so he and Zhou Jian slipped away like two loaches.

After Qingning came back to his senses, he could only smile bitterly.

Yu Qi said that when the child grows up, as long as he does not burn, kill, torture, or do bad things, he will be a good child.

It seems that people should get married early.

Otherwise, when you are older and have a baby, you will be afraid of it falling if you hold it in your hands, and afraid of it melting if you put it in your mouth...

"Xiao Tao, what do you think will happen to this kid in the future? Which girl in Beijing would be willing to marry her precious daughter to a bastard like him..." Qingning said worriedly.

Xiao Tao has followed Qing Ning for more than ten years and married the housekeeper of the mansion. Zhou Jian is her son.

Aunt Tao looked embarrassed and said, "I'll talk to Zhou Jian later."

Qingning looked at her and said, "I don't blame Zhou Jian. Zhou Jian always listens to Zhou Yiqing. You can't blame him for this."

Aunt Tao nodded, "Thank you, ma'am." Apart from being untalented, there was really nothing wrong with the two children.

Aunt Tao knew in her heart that the mistress and the master were the same and both doted on the young master.

----

Zhou Yiqing left the mansion and rode his horse with Zhou Jian. In just a quarter of an hour they arrived at the Crown Princess's mansion.

But they were not allowed to meet the emperor without a summons.

Besides, at this moment, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess should not have left the court or returned yet.

"Young Master, if we continue like this, we won't be able to see Princess Jinning. Maybe the guards at the Crown Princess's Mansion will think we are thieves." Zhou Jian had already seen the guards in front of the Crown Princess's Mansion, and they had been staring at them for a while.

Zhou Yiqing frowned.

Suddenly, he remembered his mother telling him, "If you don't study hard, in the future, if anything happens to you, you won't even be able to enter the palace!"

He was disdainful of this statement at the time.

But now...

Not to mention the palace gate, he couldn't even enter the Crown Princess's residence. Thinking of this, he felt extremely upset.

He doesn't have the slightest idea of ​​studying.

Even though he was practicing sword skills while reading a book, he actually didn't read a single word.

So, the two of them sat down along the river bank.

The hot wind also eased Zhou Yiqing's restlessness. After waiting for a long time, Xiao Zhenzhen did not come out.

He was really, really sad.

To enter the palace, one must be like Xie Yunchu, either a close bodyguard of the princess, or study like Xie Yunchu and others, and take the imperial examination. If one passes the examination in the future, one can become an official in the court and enter the palace.

But he has no talent for studying.

Only martial arts skills.

Thinking back to the last time when Xiao Zhenzhen arrogantly asked him to be her bodyguard, he refused...

He felt that being a guard had no future, he wanted to be a general...

"Son."

Zhou Jian's sigh brought Zhou Yiqing back to his senses, "What?"

Zhou Jian said: "The master used to be the emperor's secret guard, then he became the imperial guard, and later he became the governor of the garrison, and now he is the grand governor, isn't that good?"

"Why did you reject Princess Jinning and come here again? Now you can't even see her..."

Zhou Yiqing: “…”

"Let's go."

Zhou Yiqing gritted his teeth. He had been waiting here for almost an hour, but not only could he not see Princess Jinning, he couldn't even see Princess Jinning's personal maid Ying'er.

Oh, yes, Ying'er didn't come, Princess Jinning came on horseback.

"Sir, are you really leaving?" Zhou Jian saw Zhou Yiqing getting on his horse.

He also quickly mounted his horse.

Zhou Yiqing said: "You wait here. If you see Princess Jinning coming out, remember to report it."

Zhou Jian: “…”

"Yes, sir." He scratched his head, really not understanding what the sir was feeling awkward about.

Zhou Yiqing had already ridden away, but turned back and headed straight for the Crown Princess's Mansion.

He introduced himself, "I am here to ask for an audience with Princess Jinning."

The guard said, "Princess Jinning has already left."

"what?"

Zhou Yiqing asked: "Where did you go?"

The guard, considering Lord Zhou's intention, said patiently, "How would we know where Princess Jinning is going?"

Zhou Yiqing nodded and said, "Thank you." He turned around and called Zhou Jian, and went to Chang'an Street.

Anyway, I was just wandering around the streets with no purpose.

As he was walking around, he actually saw a familiar figure.

Zhou Jian said: "Isn't that the princess?"

Zhou Yiqing said: "I'm not blind, but what is she doing?" She was sneaking around, as if she was stalking someone.

"You hold the horse, I'll go take a look." Zhou Yiqing threw the reins to Zhou Jian and jumped off the horse.

Zhou Jian was riding a horse and leading another horse, which was too obvious. It was obvious that he couldn't follow, so he had to wait where he was.

On the streets, the eaves of the houses are high, and there are silk shops, restaurants, teahouses and inns everywhere.

Zhou Yiqing chased after Xiao Zhenzhen, and when he got close to her, he realized that she was following Xiao Yao and Xie Yunchu.

"Xiao Zhenzhen." Zhou Yiqing called out.

Xiao Zhenzhen was startled, but only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing clearly that it was Zhou Yiqing, "Zhou Yiqing, it's not polite to appear behind someone like this."

Zhou Yiqing was stunned, "Um..."

Xiao Zhenzhen directly covered his mouth and said, "Don't call me princess outside."

Zhou Yiqing nodded, unable to suppress the smile on his face, he just thought she was so cute.

"Then I'll greet you." He said as he bowed to Xiao Zhenzhen.

Xiao Zhenzhen: “…”

"Princess, why are you following them? I heard that there is a young man who left the palace with you today. He is very handsome."

"Good-looking?" Xiao Zhenzhen frowned. "Of course my brother Chen is good-looking. He is the best-looking man besides my father and Uncle Rong. Oh, and Brother Xie, they are the best-looking."

Zhou Yiqing looked at her, "Then, what about me?"

Xiao Zhenzhen looked at him and chuckled, "You are not bad." But he is a bit sloppy and you can tell at first glance that he is not a good person.

"Hurry up, they are getting on the carriage. Oh, our carriage is still at the chess club, and our eldest brother hasn't come back yet..."

Zhou Yiqing said: "I have a horse, I will take you."

"it is good."

Zhou Yiqing quickly whistled, and soon Zhou Jian came over with two horses.

"Sir, then I..."

"Go back to where you came from." Zhou Yiqing said to Zhou Jian.

Zhou Jian: “…”

Afterwards, the two of them rode their horses and chased the carriage in front.

After leaving the city gate.

They followed the wheel tracks ahead and followed from a distance until they were led into a field.

The field was full of chrysanthemums.

In this season, the sea of ​​chrysanthemums of various colors stunned Xiao Zhenzhen.

Just as she was about to rush out, Zhou Yiqing grabbed her and covered her mouth, "Princess, don't go."

Xiao Zhenzhen: “!!!” Zhou Yiqing!

"Why?" she asked in a low voice.

Zhou Yiqing asked, "Isn't your sister looking for a servant?"

"Ah."

Seeing that she didn't struggle, he let her go and continued, "It's obvious that it was Xie Yunchu who brought your sister out today..."

"What's coming out?"

Zhou Yiqing glanced at her and coaxed her, "Don't ask questions like a kid."
