After I died, the sickly prince turned black

No matter how surprised, but the maid said that when it comes to this matter, even a piece of wood should be enlightened.

What surprised You Zitang more than the fact that the princess was striking the iron was obviously the hidden meaning behind this gift.

After all, apart from a one-sided relationship many years ago, the two can be said to have no intersection.

Not to mention, Princess Wanying was just a little girl at that time, and because he was much older, he didn't communicate much...

But that's not the point.

The point is, isn't Princess Wanying Princess Ning chosen by the emperor?

Now in front of King Ning...

Is it bad?

Embarrassed and terrified, You Zitang stood there holding the wooden box for a moment, quite at a loss, and it was only because of his calm temper that he did not lose his composure.

"This dagger is so exquisite, big brother, can you lend me a look?" You Ziqing saw You Zitang's reaction, and smiled to make a relief.

You Zitang didn't come back to his senses until he handed the dagger to You Ziqing, and bowed his hands to Princess Wanying: "This dagger is so precious..."

"It's nothing precious or not." When Princess Wanying heard You Zitang's words, she guessed that he was going to refuse, so she quickly interrupted: "It's just a dagger, forged together with the one given to my father. It didn't take much effort to do it easily, so don't refuse, Big Brother Zitang."

"This is inappropriate for etiquette, the so-called no reward for no merit..."

"Since it's Princess Wanying's wish, you just accept it. It's just a dagger, and it's not a bribe. There's nothing wrong with it. Master You's incorruptibility is obvious to all, so there's no need to be so cautious."

Fearing that You Zitang would strangle Peach Blossom to death by himself, Zhao Zhen secretly rubbed aside to help.

You Ziqing glanced at Zhao Zhen with a smile: "Yes, brother, I think this dagger suits you quite well."

Princess Wanying glanced at You Ziqing gratefully, then glanced at You Zitang shyly and timidly.

You Zitang: "..."

What's the matter with this feeling of being driven to the shelves?

You Zitang looked at You Ziqing and Zhao Zhen complicatedly, feeling the urge to support their foreheads.

But I have to say that these two people are really a perfect match, they are both the same listless and pitted.

Although I knew what was going on in my heart, it would be over if I refused again, so I had no choice but to accept it happily: "Then thank the princess."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, as long as Brother Zitang likes it." Princess Wanying looked at You Zitang with sparkling eyes, almost like a nympho.

You Zitang really couldn't bear such enthusiasm, so he could only bite the bullet and pretend he didn't know.

"Cough!" After receiving the returned dagger from You Ziqing, You Zitang coughed, "I still have to entertain guests, so I'll go there first, Princess..."

"Brother Zitang, just go and do your work, don't worry about me." Princess Wanying said hurriedly.

You Zitang nodded, turned around and left without saying a word, rather fled in despair.

"I heard that big brother Zitang is not married yet, do you have someone you like?"

After they left, Princess Wanying immediately switched back to her original painting style as soon as she changed her youngest daughter's shyness.

You Ziqing: "..."

"I'm asking you something." Zhao Zhen suppressed a smile, and secretly poked You Ziqing's side with his finger.

You Ziqing was almost unable to hold back the trembling after being poked by him, and hurriedly grasped his troubled fingers in the palm of his hand, but his face was elegant and calm.

"Although I haven't heard from my elder brother, there probably isn't one." You Ziqing is quite sure of this point. At his elder brother's age, if there is a girl he really likes, he won't have to wait until now to get married. After thinking about it , and deliberately revealed: "Speaking of today's flower appreciation, my grandmother still has a little selfishness. I want to see if there can be a suitable girl and lady to match this fate. After all, my elder brother and second brother are not young."

Princess Wanying didn't react when she heard this, she just raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Zhen: "His Royal Highness Prince Ning is not willing to come to this marriage, right?

"The Princess speaks quickly, she is worthy of being a hero among women." Zhao Zhen admired it, and dealing with smart people was good, and saved a lot of trouble.

Princess Wanying just smiled: "Since this is the case, it is better to cooperate, but I don't know what His Royal Highness Ning wants?"

"What's the princess' plan?" Zhao Zhen asked without answering.

"His Royal Highness Ning must also know Wanying's past reputation." Princess Wanying said: "It's easy for you to kill your wife and my husband. However, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness Ning will suffer some flesh and blood."

"This king is actually quite curious about something." Zhao Zhen glanced at You Ziqing, then turned to Princess Wanying: "How true are those rumors about Princess Kefu?"

"You want to ask if those people really died of a broken arm or a leg?"

Princess Wanying raised her eyebrows with a smile, but then she drooped her eyes and fell into silence. After a while, she sighed helplessly: "The rumors are not groundless, they are just exaggerated."

"Oh?" Zhao Zhen said: "But no matter how exaggerated it is, there must be a basis for it?"

"The first son-in-law that the father had his eyes on was a son of a general under his command, who died in battle, and he only had this intention at the time, and didn't formally mention it."

Princess Wanying looked at the two of them.

"I didn't want to get married at first, so I just took advantage of that incident to spread Kefu's reputation. After that, my father didn't believe in evil, so he found a few more, and I beat them all to the ground. In fact, they were dislocated, and there were no fractures. But it’s really a missing arm and a broken leg.”

Zhao Zhen: "..."

You Ziqing: "..."

Princess Wanying smiled, and said slyly, "So, is His Royal Highness Prince Ning planning to lose an arm or a leg?"

"Heh." Zhao Zhen smiled but not: "I think it's better for us to hurt each other."

"As long as the goal can be achieved, even some blood is fine." Princess Wanying said indifferently.

You Ziqing: "..."

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhao Zhen, only to see that the other party nodded in agreement.

"Actually..." You Ziqing wanted to say that it doesn't need to be so bloody, and a milder method is fine.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Zhao Zhen: "Deal."

You Ziqing: "..."

All right, as long as you are happy.

The tricks played by your princes and nobles are beyond my understanding.

You Ziqing simply stopped interrupting, and Gu Zi walked to the table and sat down, took a sip of the cold tea.

On the other side, Princess Wanying and Zhao Zhen reached a consensus on cooperation and left without going.

She seemed to be more anxious about the old lady finding a wife for You Zitang than You Ziqing's reminiscing about the old days.

Zhao Zhen sat back beside You Ziqing: "This princess Wanying is bold and upright, and doesn't care about trifles, which is quite interesting."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt something was wrong, turned his head, and saw You Ziqing squinting at him with a smile that was not a smile, and immediately straightened his back: "Cough, although the personality is very different from women nowadays, but it is different from yours." Big Brother is a good match."

You Ziqing was noncommittal, put down the teacup, got up and walked out.

Zhao Zhen was taken aback, and quickly got up to follow: "Going out?"

"Before, it was because I had to wait for Princess Wanying to come over, but I always had to go out to have a look after I left. The elder brother and the second elder brother are both busy, so I can't just hide away all the time." You Ziqing said as he walked.

Zhao Zhen nodded when he heard the words, and followed You Ziqing silently without saying anything.

You Ziqing glanced at him: "Your Highness is going too?"

"What?" Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows: "I can't go?"

That's not it.

It's just that the two of them passed by suddenly, I'm afraid...

Forget it, left and right are just gossip.

Anyway, the matter between the two of them is not a secret, it's just that everyone has scruples and didn't publicize it.

"Yes." You Ziqing said: "As long as you are not afraid of delaying the business, Your Highness can stay as long as you want."

"What business can Xiu Mu have?" Zhao Zhen took You Ziqing's hand, saw him look over and said, "There is no one here, I will let go when I arrive later."

You Ziqing smiled, and was about to speak when she saw Madam Du from the old lady's yard running over anxiously. It looked like she was going to find someone in the front yard.

You Ziqing hurriedly called people to stop: "What happened?"
