Zhou Qingqing put down the spoon and tilted his head to watch him drink porridge, but did not speak. Although he looks rough, his eating movements are not rude, but he is a little surprised.

Qin Zhen realized her gaze, raised his head to meet her eyes, raised his thick eyebrows lightly, and asked with a smile, "What?" Don't believe my words? ”

Zhou Qingqing smiled: "Lord Wang, at the beginning, you led the troops to attack the foot of Qicheng, and if you continue to fight, our Southern Zhou will inevitably be in the bag of your Western Qin, why did you propose peace at that time?" ”

Qin Zhen laughed and said jokingly: "Do you think I gave up Nanzhou because Northern Zhao had made a move and was afraid of being attacked on my back?" ”

Zhou Qingqing also smiled: "Isn't it?" ”

Qin Zhen laughed loudly: "I haven't taken it into account yet. ”

His tone was all Siyi Feiyang's arrogance, obviously he really didn't take Bei Zhao in his eyes. But come to think of it, in the past few years, King Wu of Western Qin has been invincible, and he has arrogant capital.

Zhou Qingqing pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Then why are you?" You don't really want the world to be stable and the people live in peace, right? ”

Qin Zhen stretched out his hand over the table and tapped on her forehead: "That's true." He looked at her for a pause, and then continued with a smile, "For me, fighting a war is not about conquering and dominating, but about achieving the peace I want in the world. I led my troops to Qicheng because I wanted Nanzhou to know that I had the ability to swallow you, but what I wanted was that the border between the two countries would not disturb each other, and the people of both countries could live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Seeing that Zhou Qingqing still looked skeptical, he shook his head and spread his hands and said: "Okay, I admit that I don't want to annex the Southern Zhou, because the Qin and Zhou cultures are very different, even if the Southern Zhou is occupied, under our current ruling model, the people of the Southern Zhou will definitely be full of complaints, and it won't be long before the uprisings will inevitably emerge one after another." ”

He was right. Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for monarchs to expand by force, but after annexing other countries, most of them will not adapt to the land and water, and only a handful can rule.

Hearing him say this, Zhou Qingqing didn't want to doubt it anymore, and sneered: "I thought that King Wu of Western Qin was just a prince who could lead troops to fight, but I didn't expect you to think so well and long-term!" ”

Qin Zhen shook his head and chuckled, then yawned, stood up and stretched out his hands, looking at the person opposite condescendingly.

Zhou Qingqing was confused, not knowing what he was going to do, only opened his eyes and watched his movements strangely.

Qin Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Madame is the princess of this king, isn't she?" ”

Zhou Qingqing nodded, but he didn't know what he was going to say.

Qin Zhen continued: "Then the king is going to go to bed to make up for sleep, shouldn't the lady dress her husband widely?" ”

Zhou Qingqing reacted at this time, smiled, stood up and walked to him, and went to undress for him, but he couldn't help but say angrily: "Our princesses of the Southern Zhou Dynasty are all to open their mouths and clothes to stretch out their hands, why do you come to Xiqin, and the princess still has to serve people?" Isn't there a lot of maids in the palace? ”

She is also the eldest lady of Dingxi Palace, and now she has been reduced to giving people wide clothes and unties, and she is still a little unwilling.

Qin Zhen smiled sullenly: "There are a lot of maids in the palace, but this king is now a married man, such intimate matters, of course, the princess still has to do it herself." ”

The talent in front of him was on his chest, and he couldn't see her face when he lowered his head, but he could also imagine her expression on his belly. He had heard how the ladies of the Southern Zhou family were weak and shy. The one he married was clearly different. The eldest daughter who was the most beloved in the mouth of the king of Dingxi County did not disappoint him.

Zhou Qingqing unbuckled his belt, walked behind him and took off his thin robe, and said pretending to be affectionate: "Lord Wang, hurry up and rest, I stayed up all night last night, don't break my body." ”

Qin Zhen laughed, strode towards the bed, fell heavily on it, saw Zhou Qingqing hanging up his clothes, and was about to leave the house, and said, "Madam, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhou Qingqing looked at the person on the bed: "I'm afraid of disturbing the prince's rest, so I'll go outside." ”

Qin Zhen beckoned to her: "Don't go anywhere, just stay here with me." ”

Zhou Qingqing smiled dryly: "But I just woke up and can't sleep." ”

Qin Zhen lightly pointed to the stool next to him: "You can sit with me." ”

Zhou Qingqing had already begun to scold her mother in her heart, but she still walked over with a smile on her face and sat on the round stool half a foot away from the bed.

Qin Zhen raised his hand and hooked his fingers: "Sit down a little bit, let this king take a good look at my princess." ”

His action was like teasing a puppy, Zhou Qingqing almost bit his silver teeth angrily, but he still had to grin at him, reached out and moved the stool, sat on the edge of the bed, and said with a smile: "Can the prince see clearly?" ”

Qin Zhen lay sideways on the edge of the bed, squinted his eyes and looked her up and down lightly, and nodded slightly: "It's very clear, even the eye droppings in the eyes can be seen clearly." ”

Zhou Qingqing's face changed, and he subconsciously touched his eyes, but found that the person on the bed seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and only then did he understand that he was teasing himself, he glared at him, snorted and tilted his head to stop looking at him.

Qin Zhen laughed sullenly: "Okay, I really have to sleep for a while, if Madam is tired, go out for a walk, I have already explained the people in the palace, the princess can do whatever she wants, I am different from you Nanzhou here, there are not so many rules and regulations." ”

Zhou Qingqing ignored him with a face.

It wasn't until there was a gradually heavy breathing on the bed that she turned her head to look at Qin Zhen. The man had a beard, but his nose and eyes stood out. At this time, his eyes were closed, probably because of last night's hard work, and there was a thick blue color around his eye sockets.

Zhou Qingqing looked at this person, scolded for a moment, and couldn't help but raise his fist and raise it towards him. But at this moment, Qin Zhen suddenly frowned slightly and snorted lowly.

Zhou Qingqing was so frightened that he hurriedly put his hand on his head, pretending to stroke his hair, but found that he didn't open his eyes, just turned over and fell asleep again.

Call! Zhou Qingqing exhaled heavily, stretched out his hand again and waved above him, making sure that he was asleep, thinking for a moment, then tiptoed up and quietly opened the door to leave.

When she came out of the door, Bi He was walking over, she quickly put her index finger on her lips, made a silent gesture, and said in a low voice: "The prince is resting, let's go for a walk outside the courtyard." ”

Bihe pursed her lips and nodded, and the two of them walked out of the small courtyard, before she spit out the breath that was held in her throat and patted her chest: "I'm scared to death, those rumors in Jinling City are true, this Western Qin Martial King is really a terrible person, I saw him this morning, and I was so scared that I didn't even dare to speak." After that, he looked at his own young lady again, saw that her face was calm, stuck out his tongue and said, "Miss, aren't you afraid?" ”

Zhou Qingqing glanced at her: "What's so scary?" It's not a monster with a nose and two eyes, and it's not a monster with three eyes. ”

Bihe stomped his feet: "But he is so tall and strong, and his beard is thicker than other people's hair, can he not be scary?" ”

Zhou Qingqing shook his head and smiled: "Don't say it, this is in the Martial Prince's Mansion, if you ask your subordinates to listen to you arranging other people's princes like this, you may be unhappy." ”

Bihe pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

In fact, Zhou Qingqing was also afraid of Qin Zhen at first, especially knowing that he was the bearded official who was smashed by her the night before, but after last night and this morning, there was nothing to be afraid of.

With her understanding of him, Qin Zhen is indeed hearty and uninhibited, not as fierce and violent as the legend. Except for teasing her repeatedly, which really made her angry, she didn't feel that there was anything terrible about getting along with this person.

She suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what about Ah Jin?" ”

As he was talking, Nie Jin came from the path ahead: "Miss, are you going to visit the palace?" ”

Zhou Qingqing nodded: "You have to be familiar with the environment." ”

The three of them walked together on the path of the palace, and occasionally the subordinates passing by would salute respectfully, but Zhou Qingqing noticed the not so willing expressions on their faces. She knew that she, the princess, obviously did not meet the expectations of the princess for the hostess.

The Wuwang Mansion, the second-in-command of Western Qin, is nothing compared to many wealthy families in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and it is not even half the size of the Dingxi Palace.

After a while, they came to the small garden, where the three of them sat down on the stone bench. Before he could speak, he could hear two maids whispering in the small corridor next to him.

"Our prince is one of the best people in Western Qin, how could he marry a princess of the Southern Zhou Dynasty?"

"And she's not a real princess, she's the daughter of the king of Dingxi."

"Is that the king of Dingxi who killed tens of thousands of our Western Qin?"

"Isn't it? I don't know what the prince thinks? He didn't want so many beauties up and down in Xiqin, but he married the daughter of an enemy. ”

"Whew! What if you get married? The prince is for the peace of the world, and marrying her is all for example. The prince definitely doesn't look down on the delicate princess of Nanzhou, and if she is cold for a year and a half, she may end up depressed. ”

Zhou Qingqing tilted his ears sideways, listening with interest. Nie Jin glanced at her, he really couldn't listen to it, and pretended to cough lightly.

The two people in the corridor were shocked, and when they saw that it was the princess, they hurriedly ran out to salute.

Zhou Qingqing smiled and waved his hand: "Go down." ”

Watching the two of them leave in a hurry, she burst out laughing.

Bihe pouted and said, "These maids in the palace look at you like this, miss, can you still laugh?" ”

Zhou Qingqing glanced at her: "Should I cry?" ”

Bihe said: "Aren't you worried about them wearing small shoes for you?" ”

Zhou Qingqing disagreed: "I'm a princess, what am I afraid of?" ”

Nie Jin chuckled: "The eldest lady is right, no matter how dissatisfied these subordinates are, they don't dare to do anything blatantly, after all, the young lady is the master and they are the servants." ”
