After hastily having breakfast, Qin Zhen went out with his sword.

The following team of the royal palace was sent off at the gate of the palace, and outside the gate was a team of soldiers waiting for him. He was dressed in armor and full of spirit, and the morning light crossed the glazed tile surface and fell on him, in order to add a bit of heroism.

For a moment, Zhou Qingqing was a little abrupt, as if he had returned to the Dingxi Mansion many years ago, and when his father went on the expedition, it was also the same situation.

After a long time, things are not people.

Maybe it was this sudden abruptness that made her heart soften a little. The vicious slander against him in the room before has now disappeared, and there is some sadness when he sent his father away.

After Qin Zhen took the reins of the horse, Zhou Qingqing followed from behind him and said softly, "Take care, prince." ”

Qin Zhen turned his head to look at her, as if he was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows and smiled, leaned in front of her, and whispered: "Don't worry, my cave room has not passed yet, and I am reluctant to die outside." ”

Zhou Qingqing snorted twice: "What are you talking about!" ”

Qin Zhen smiled and shook her hand: "I will come back safely and wait for me at home." There are also a lot of handsome men in Xijing, don't take advantage of my absence to go out of the wall. ”

Zhou Qingqing knew that she shouldn't waste her little affection on this person, she glared at him with disgust and retreated to the gate.

Qin Zhen laughed loudly and turned over on his horse, holding the bridle rope in his hand, waved his whip, and chanted the ballad of the Western Qin expedition in his mouth, and the surrounding entourage sang with him, but there were only dozens of people, but when the dust left, it was like a rainbow, like thousands of troops.

Zhou Qingqing said in his heart, no wonder after Qin Zhen became the coach, the Southern Zhou Society was defeated and retreated.

When everyone returned home, Bihe, who had been holding her breath next to Zhou Qingqing, waited until there was no one around, took a breath, and said, "Miss, was that really the prince just now?" ”

Zhou Qingqing smiled: "Is there anyone else?" ”

Bihe scratched his head: "I didn't expect the prince to shave his beard and look like that!" ”

Zhou Qingqing glanced at her and said deliberately: "What does it look like?" ”

Bihe blushed and hesitated: "That's it...... It's just so handsome. ”

Zhou Qingqing sneered and shook his head.

Bihe smiled again and said: "Before, I thought that when the young lady married the prince, it was a flower inserted in cow dung. Now it seems that Miss Wang Ye is a talented and beautiful woman, and she is a pair of beautiful people. ”

Zhou Qingqing joked: "Judging people by their appearance." ”

Bi He stiffened his neck and cross-examined: "No, the prince is talented, even if he is gray and earthy, it must be extraordinary, not to mention that he is so handsome." ”

Zhou Qingqing patted her and said with a smile: "What do you think I don't know yet?" ”

Bihe also smiled.

Qin Zhen left, and Zhou Qingqing was the real master of the Martial King's Mansion. Because Qin Zhen had an explanation, the subordinates were more respectful to her than before, and even had some trembling fear, especially the previous Mizhu Miyu.

So in the whole palace, there was some lifeless depression. Zhou Qingqing inevitably misses the Dingxi Mansion in Jinling City, even though it has been declining for a long time, and the people have withered, but the atmosphere in the mansion is excellent.

Zhou Qingqing is a casual temperament, rarely sentimental, even if it is a long journey from Jinling to Xijing, she has never thought about home a few times.

But these days, in the dull Wuwang Mansion, she is a little inexplicably homesick, especially on the night of the full moon, she is even more worried.

She was a little unimpressed with her untimely little daughter, thinking that it was probably because she had been in the palace for a long time.

After dinner, she sat in the courtyard and looked at the full moon in the middle of the sky, sighed long, and suddenly stood up and said to Bihe: "Go and call Ah Jin." ”

Nie Jin soon appeared in front of her: "Miss, is there something?" ”

"It's so boring, you go out for some drinks with me."

She walked out with her hands in her hands, Nie Jin followed behind her, and the people from the palace who passed by didn't dare to ask more, but watched the two go out in the twilight.

Outside the door, Zhou Qingqing smiled and said, "Ah Jin, have you seen it, how afraid are the people in this palace afraid of me?" ”

Nie Jin said: "The prince has an explanation, of course everyone doesn't dare to snub you, isn't the young lady satisfied?" ”

Zhou Qingqing laughed: "Do you remember the days when we were in Dingxi Palace?" ”

Nie Jin's face was paralyzed, and he smiled slightly: "Last night's stars and last night's wind, everyone lives a small life like a family, how can you forget it!" ”

Zhou Qingqing: "When did Ah Jin start to be vassal?" ”

While the two were talking and laughing, they had already walked into the bustling royal street in Xijing. Zhou Qingqing saw a wine shop in the distance, his eyes flashed, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Nie Jin: "It looks good there." ”

Nie Jin saw that she was like a child who saw something new, his eyes were soft, and he smiled and hummed.

This wine shop is very elegant, not noisy, and the guests who catch the eye are all dressed in brocade clothes, which is obviously a first-class wine shop.

Zhou Qingqing and Nie Jin asked for an elegant room by the window on the second floor, with a panoramic view of the street.

At this time, the night is getting thicker, but there are no fewer people on the street, Zhou Qingqing looked at the passers-by, and said with a smile: "Ah Jin, you see, these people are actually no different from the people of our Southern Zhou Dynasty, but they are all seeking a stable world and a prosperous life." ”

Nie Jin nodded: "Jiangshan Sheji is the emperor's industry, and all the people want is to live and work in peace and contentment." ”

Zhou Qingqing raised his wine glass and took a sip of wine, smashed his tongue, and sighed: "I don't know how Xiangxiang Xun'er is doing?" ”

Nie Jin said: "Miss is married to Xiqin and Qin, and she is the heroine of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and they will not have a bad time." ”

"Heroines?" Zhou Qingqing sneered, and sighed again: "I hope so." ”

As she finished speaking, a melodious flute suddenly sounded as if it were far away. The tune was unfamiliar, not like the Western Qin minor, nor like the Southern Zhou charm, but it was melodious, with a little sadness like crying, and people were almost immediately immersed in the music.

For some reason, Zhou Qingqing listened to the sound of the flute, and her homesickness became more and more intense, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't make a sound for a while, and her eyes gradually turned red.

It wasn't until the end of that song that she came back to her senses a little.

She wiped her eyes, got up with a sigh of relief, and said to Nie Jin: "This flute sound is so special, let me go and see who the piper is?" ”

She had just heard the sound of the flute coming from next door. When I walked to the door of the next room, I saw the carved wooden door lightly covered, revealing a gap. She looked curiously into the gap, but saw a long and jade man, leaning against the window lattice, holding a flute, hanging his head slightly, the green silk on both sides fell on his shoulders, and the light swayed on the floor, casting a long shadow on him.

Zhou Qingqing thought for a moment, pushed the door open, and walked in: "General Feng, it turned out to be you." ”

Feng Xiao looked up at her, her handsome and elegant face, in this candlelight, there was even more of a refined fairy atmosphere. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, he saluted, and said with a warm smile: "Princess, why are you here?" ”

Zhou Qingqing smiled: "Come out and taste the wine of Xijing." "That's it," he added, "I thought General Feng had gone to the eastern border with the prince." ”

"Xijing City has not been very stable recently, and the prince asked me to stay here." He said, pointing to the chair opposite: "But Xijing wine is really good, I'll invite the princess to have a drink." ”

Zhou Qingqing was not hypocritical, and walked to him and sat down: "I didn't expect General Feng to play the flute so well?" I was a little overwhelmed when I heard it just now. I just don't know where the tune is? It's special, I've never heard of it. ”

Feng Xiao smiled: "The princess praised it falsely, the princess is an insider, Feng didn't dare to get an axe, but he just learned a minor tune from others." ”

Zhou Qingqing smiled: "I'm not an insider, but my ears are a little picky." However, although you can't hear where it comes from, you can hear the smell of homesickness in it. ”

Feng Xiao raised her eyebrows, as if she was a little surprised: "When I learned from others, I heard that this is a homesick song. Can the princess hear it? ”

Zhou Qingqing smiled: "Because of General Feng's flute just now, it reminds me of Jinling's family." After that, he asked curiously, "I remember General Feng said that since he was a child, he has been wandering and has no homeland to rely on, so does General Feng still have relatives?" ”

Feng Xiao's eyes were as black as ink, looked at the gradually lit royal street outside the window, shook his head and smiled: "No." "That's it, and said, "If you really want to talk about it, the prince is probably my relative." ”

Zhou Qingqing raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Feng Xiao continued: "I wandered a lot when I was young, and later became a Xijing Manu, it was the prince who singled me out and made me a person under his command, and I was valued by him, so that I have the current Feng Xiao." ”

Zhou Qingqing said: "The prince values you, and you must also have the ability." ”

Feng Xiao shook his head and said with a smile: "My muscles and veins are damaged, and I can't learn any kung fu, what kind of ability is this in Western Qin?" ”

Zhou Qingqing said: "Being able to fight and kill is a talent, but General Feng is another kind of talent." Indispensable. ”

Feng Xiao smiled: "The princess is amazing, I thought that the young lady of the Southern Zhou family was weak and timid, but I didn't want the princess to be completely different from what I thought, presumably the princess was also very pleased to marry a woman like the princess." ”

Zhou Qingqing thought of Qin Zhen's parting appearance, and said with a pout: "I'm just an ordinary woman, General Feng really praised it." ”

Feng Xiao was silent for a moment, and it seemed like again

Zhou Qingqing waved his hand disapplausively: "I'm just not guessing, I didn't expect those servants to be really Northern Zhao spies." That's it, he opened his eyes again, and said solemnly, "Last time, the peony was rescued from Nie Jin's hands, and it seems that there are still many masters in Beizhao in Xijing, and the prince is not in the city, so General Feng should pay more attention." ”

Feng Xiao smiled and nodded: "I'm sending people to step up the search, don't worry about the princess." ”

Zhou Qingqing pursed her lips: "I mean, you are the prince's henchman, I am afraid that Beizhao will also target you." You should go out in the future and bring two more skilled guards. ”

Feng Xiao was the only one in this room, and he must have come to drink alone.

Feng Xiao was stunned, and smiled like a breeze and moon: "Thank you princess for your concern." ”
