Jiang Ling snorted softly in a hurry, and the person had been suppressed by him.

"Aren't you asleep?" She was stunned and a little coquettish.

Zhou Chengzhi leaned over her and smiled: "You are moving so much, I woke up as soon as I entered the door." ”

When he said this, his face was brought closer, and a warm snort wrapped around Jiang Ling's face. Such intimacy made her blush uncomfortably, snorted, and struggled lightly in her hand: "You let go of me." ”

"Not loose." As he spoke, he gently stroked her face with his free hand, "Don't move, let me take a good look at you." I was worried about the crowds in the palace before, so I didn't look closely. ”

Jiang Ling scolded in a low voice: "Deng's disciple." ”

But he didn't struggle anymore, but he didn't dare to look at him, he could only close his eyes slightly, and his burning gaze was still glued to his face.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Ling couldn't hold his breath anymore, and said angrily: "Have you seen enough?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi chuckled, finally let go of her, and helped her to sit up.

Jiang Ling squinted at him: "I bumped into the eldest prince in the palace, I heard that you just came back from the barracks, and I thought you were in the palace, why are you here?" ”

Zhou Cheng knew: "Naturally, I want to see you." The army is busy with affairs, and I heard that you are not feeling well when you first returned to the capital, but you have never returned. When I returned to Beijing today, I happened to bump into you being summoned to the palace by the queen, so I wanted to meet you by the way. He glanced at her, "Fortunately, it looks like nothing is wrong now." What did the queen summon you? ”

Jiang Ling wondered how he knew that he was unwell, but after thinking about it, he and Zhou Chengwen were brothers after all, and it was not strange to know.

She replied casually: "She is my aunt, she summoned me into the palace to talk casually." ”

Zhou Chengzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at her, obviously not believing: "Is it really just casual talking?" ”

Jiang Ling pouted: "That's right, just ask me if I want to marry my cousin?" ”

"How did you answer?" Zhou Chengzhi asked.

Jiang Ling smiled deliberately: "How can I answer, what's the matter with you?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi snorted, suddenly took her over, and kissed her on the lips: "What do you say about me?" ”

Jiang Ling was about to cross-examine, but he glared: "If you dare to say anything I don't like to hear, I'm going to do something even more excessive." ”

Jiang Ling glared at him back: "You know how to bully me." After a moment of silence, she added, "Anyway, I didn't say I wanted to marry my cousin. ”

"Don't want to?" Zhou Chengzhi asked jokingly.

Jiang Ling said: "Knowingly asked. ”

"And who do you want to marry?"

Jiang Ling said: "Anyway, I don't want to marry the men of your heavenly family." ”

Zhou Chengzhi's face sank: "What do you mean?" ”

Jiang Ling seemed to be a little displeased when he saw him, and thought about changing the topic: "Brother Chengzhi, are you in your uncle's Iron Eagle Army?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi nodded: "Exactly, what are you asking for?" ”

Jiang Ling remembered the previous life, when he led the Iron Eagle army to the city and besieged the entire imperial city for many days, he couldn't help but feel afraid. She looked at him seriously and said, "Why do you want to be in the barracks?" I don't think many princes will stay in the army? ”

Zhou Cheng knew: "The man is iron-clad, of course, he has to be trained in the army." Besides, my uncle wants me to take over the Iron Eagle Army in the future, and I can't let him down. ”

Jiang Ling sneered: "I don't understand this kind of thing. But if you take over the Iron Eagle Army, what will you do with this elite army? ”

Zhou Chengzhi said with a smile: "What else can you do to serve the country on the border?" ”

Jiang Ling thought for a while and said, "Then wouldn't you always be on the frontier in the future?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi hooked his lips: "Are you afraid that I won't accompany you?" ”

Jiang Ling frowned: "I'm just worried about you." She hesitated for a moment before continuing, "And as a prince, if you hold the power of a heavy army, aren't you afraid of criticism?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi was stunned for a moment, and laughed again: "I sit upright, I will never covet the dragon chair on the Jinluan Treasure Palace, I only guard the frontier, and I am naturally not afraid of criticism." ”

Jiang Ling was slightly relieved when he heard her say this, but after thinking about it, he said, "Then what if your cousin sees that you are in power in the future and becomes suspicious of you?" ”

Zhou Cheng knew: "If he is suspicious, I will hand over the military power." ”

Jiang Ling was shocked and said incredulously: "Really? ”

Zhou Chengzhi asked him with a smile: "What?" Do I look like a man with wolf ambitions? ”

Jiang Ling shook his head hurriedly.

Zhou Chengzhi sighed: "People live for a lifetime, in fact, the so-called power is just a passing cloud, and in the end, it may become a demon and a burden, it is better to simply live a life in peace." ”

The first time Jiang Ling heard him say this, he was a little speechless with excitement. Now that he is sixteen years old, it is impossible for him to do evil like that in a few years' time.

She asked him a little incoherently, "Do you really think so?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi nodded with a smile and touched her hair: "I hate strife myself. It would be best if I could stay away from right and wrong with you in the future. Would you like to? ”

Jiang Ling was excited to come out because he understood his inner thoughts, where did he care about such subtleties. Nothing deserves to make her happy more than knowing that he has no wolf ambitions.

So Jiang Ling nodded without hesitation: "Yes." ”

Zhou Chengzhi was stunned for a moment, suddenly grabbed her shoulder, and asked excitedly, "Ling'er, are you really willing?" ”

Jiang Ling's shoulder was a little painful when he grabbed it, and only then did he react slightly, as if he had made a promise that he shouldn't have made. I didn't know how to deny it.

Zhou Chengzhi continued to ask, "Are you really willing to marry me?" ”

Jiang Ling's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Marriage matters, it's not you and me who have the final say. ”

Zhou Cheng knew: "I'll just ask you if you want to?" ”

"Whether I want it or not is not up to me."

Zhou Chengzhi chuckled lightly and let go of his hand: "Okay, I won't force you." You're right, whether you want it or not, it's not up to you. He winked evilly, "I'm in charge." ”

Jiang Ling pouted: "Your marriage is all decided by the emperor, how can you have the final say?" Besides, my father and mother don't want me to marry into the palace, so don't think about it. ”

Zhou Cheng knew: "I will open a mansion after I am eighteen years old, and you will marry into my palace by then, not into the palace." ”

Jiang Ling said: "Anyway, don't think about it, men and women don't kiss each other, it's unethical for us to meet in private like this, and marriage is not something we can decide, who you marry and who I marry, it's better to resign yourself to fate." ”

"Who is going to leave it to fate!" Zhou Chengzhi sneered, paused and said, "But the capital is not as good as Yangzhou, there are many people, I won't make it difficult for you." When I meet in the palace in the future, I will also abide by etiquette. ”

Jiang Ling said: "Then you still let the coachman send me here today." ”

Zhou Chengzhi laughed: "The coachman took the money to do things, and he didn't know that you were here to see me." ”

Jiang Ling said: "That's always bad. ”

Zhou Chengzhi seemed to think for a moment, and said to himself: "Now the top priority is how to prevent my father from directly marrying you and the crown prince. If that command is true, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to heaven. ”

Jiang Ling said: "My father and mother are also thinking of a way, and I originally planned to discuss it with the queen. But looking at the queen's posture, I'm afraid that it is decided to let me marry the prince. ”

Zhou Chengzhi sneered lightly: "What kind of calculation the queen made, not Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by. The snobbery of the prince's relatives can only be regarded as average, and he is worried that the dragon chair will not sit steadily in the future, so he is eager to support his relatives to take the throne. As everyone knows, the eldest brother and I, one is an idiot, and the other has no idea about that position at all. Her calculations were in vain. ”

Jiang Ling looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is the queen really so scheming?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi met her eyes and smiled: "She is your aunt, I don't want to be arrogant." However, being a mother is strong, and it is not a big deal for a woman to do something scheming for her son. You don't have to take it personally. He paused slightly, "In short, I don't care if the queen does other things, but I will definitely not let her succeed in this marriage between you and the prince." ”

Jiang Ling asked, "Do you have a way?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi frowned slightly: "Don't worry, there will be a way." ”

The two chatted for a long time before reluctantly saying goodbye.

This time they met, Jiang Ling's understanding of Zhou Chengzhi was a little more. Hearing him say that if the crown prince was suspicious of him, he would hand over the military power, she almost couldn't believe it, such words came from a tyrant who had made the world miserable in his previous life.

For some reason, she was still a little moved.

It turns out that Zhou Chengzhi, who has not become evil, will be such a good boy. She thought that if she really lived with such a person for the rest of her life, it didn't seem too bad.

For what he said calmly, quietly, and steadily, there is still a bit of an inexplicable yearning.

Back in Jiangfu, Mrs. Jiang Zhao naturally pulled Jiang Ling anxiously to ask about the situation, Jiang Ling answered one by one, Zhao was so anxious that he sighed a few bad breaths, and discussed countermeasures with his husband that night, but he didn't come up with a good countermeasure for a while.

The Zhao family, who couldn't think of a good countermeasure, led Jiang Ling to Qingyunguan in the suburbs to burn incense the next day.

After burning the incense and throwing the incense money, the Zhao family asked Jiang Ling to draw lots to ask for divination, and took the lottery to ask the chief of the temple.

Ruoshui Dao Chang is the master of Jiang Ling in the previous life.

Seeing her again in the next life, she was inevitably excited, but it was difficult to show it, so she could only hand her the signature like an ordinary signer: "Dao Chief, please help me solve this sign." ”

If the Dao is over fifty years old, with a childish face and an indifferent expression, after she saw Jiang Ling, Yun smiled lightly, her eyes fell on the signature and asked, "What does a good person ask?" ”

Jiang Ling said: "Ask about marriage." ”

Ruo Shuidao smiled again, and said: "Wangmei pomegranate flowers are scorching red, and the color is hazy up close, although the achievement of mandarin duck puppet, it is not in sorrow or in a dream." ”

Jiang Ling was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Ruo Shuidao said: "This is a flat sign in the branch, what the girl's marriage is, it is still inconclusive." However, since it cannot be determined, it is man-made. ”

"Something is man-made?"

Ruoshui Dao nodded with a smile: "Marriages in the world are all destined by heaven, but heaven will inevitably write the wrong life, so this wrong life will have to be rewritten by people themselves." I see that the girl was born different, and I am afraid that she has been a human for several lifetimes, and now she wants to rewrite her life. ”

Jiang Ling was slightly shocked, but if the chief of the waterway had a pair of discerning eyes to understand a qiē, she would have seen it a long time ago, and she was not too surprised. After thinking for a moment, he only asked, "Can the Dao chief indicate whether my life can be rewritten?" ”

"It turned out to be man-made, and there must be success and failure." She smiled and said, "But the girl doesn't have to worry, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, often the process of rewriting is the most gratifying." ”

Jiang Ling nodded and bowed: "Thank you Dao Chief." ”

Seeing his daughter coming out of the nunnery, Zhao hurriedly asked, "What about the signature?" ”

Jiang Ling smiled: "It's a tie in the branch, and the Taoist chief said that the matter is man-made." ”

Zhao said: "Then I'll quickly ask your father to think of another way to dispel your aunt's thoughts." ”

Jiang Ling said: "Mother, don't put too much pressure on your father, although it is man-made, some things are better to go naturally." ”

For some reason, she was more willing to believe that Zhou Chengzhi had a way than her father to discuss with the queen, even if he was only a sixteen-year-old child.

Zhao disagreed: "How can this matter be natural." ”

Jiang Ling smiled and said, "By the way, I heard that this Ruoshui Dao chief has excellent medical skills, I want to find an opportunity to worship her as a teacher and study medicine with her." ”

Zhao nodded: "It's good for girls to learn some medical skills, go back and discuss it with your father, if he agrees, we will come to the door to apprentice." However, if the waterway chief is quite famous in the capital, I don't know if she will accept apprentices. ”
