Chen Yuan took a step forward, looked at Zhou Mu who was staring at him timidly, just took his hand, and then said with a smile, "I still don't know what your name is." ”

Zhou Mu pursed his lips slightly, still looking a little restrained, "Zhou Mu." Then he raised his head again and stared at Her Royal Highness the princess in front of him, "Why are you helping me?" ”

Of course, Chen Yuan couldn't tell the real reason, so he raised his head and touched his head, but found that the hair was really dry, so he withdrew his hand a little tastelessly, and turned out his original words, "Didn't I say it very clearly just now?" I was too impulsive a few days ago, so I punished you, and I felt very guilty, so I just treated you better. ”

After Zhou Mu heard this, he didn't say anything more, he naturally couldn't believe this set of rhetoric, after all, he had also heard of this princess's reputation in this palace, and it was no worse than those nobles who bullied him.

Of course, Chen Yuan understands that he doesn't believe in his rhetoric at all, but so far he has no better explanation, so he is so deadlocked.

Fortunately, Qiuhua saw the tastelessness between the two, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and then said cautiously, "Slave maid, it's not too early now, it's better to let the imperial dining room prepare some food first." ”

Then he glanced down at the prince of Zhou again, and knew that this person was afraid that the time had come, "I don't know if His Royal Highness the prince of Zhou has anything you want to eat, if there is anything you want to eat, I will definitely order them to go down and make it." ”

Zhou Mu only pursed his lips slightly, and he looked a little helpless for a while, especially pitiful.

Chen Yuan naturally knew that he definitely didn't have anything to say, so he couldn't help but instruct, "Go and let someone prepare some light meals." ”

Qiuhua looked at her princess in some surprise, but she quickly lowered her head and said yes softly.

The copper furnace next to it emitted curling smoke, which just added a hazy atmosphere to the two of them at this time.

Chen Yuan took Zhou Mu's hand, and involuntarily brought a little nostalgia in his eyes, now looking at the child's eyebrows, it is a bit like Chen Su at the beginning, when he was a minor, he liked him a lot, but he didn't expect to develop his kind of temperament.

Zhou Mu always felt that there was something wrong with the eyes of this so-called princess looking at him, but he didn't realize that something was wrong for a while.

"I heard that your Zhou Kingdom is very prosperous, which is very different from my northern country, you may tell me about it." Chen Yuan winked at him and sat cross-legged at the table.

Zhou Mu forced himself to calm down his nervousness, and smiled faintly before speaking, "I used to live in the palace, I didn't know much about outside things, and I have never been outside, but if it is compared to the palace, the palace in the north is more magnificent, and the palace in Zhou is exquisite." ”

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully before speaking, "When you were there before, did you read some books?" ”

Those obsidian-like eyes were full of caution, with a slight dodge "Once upon a time...... I've read some, but not much. ”

"That's pretty good, it's not like I don't know how to read and learn words when I usually don't know how to read." Chen Yuan couldn't help but stick out her tongue, but a little playful, "If you get control in the future, you can also teach me, so that I don't understand anything, besides, my father said a few days ago that he wanted to find a companion for me to read, but he hasn't decided, I think you are an excellent candidate." ”

In fact, in the past, Princess Qin'an had her own companion to read, and that companion was no one else, it was the Qinglou Xiaoqiao, although the old man was from a humble background, but he could also export chapters, and his writing was brilliant, and with that jade-like face, he was obviously a beautiful son.

Zhou Mu didn't say anything, just looked at the woman in front of him with a pair of bright eyes.

Chen Yuan gushed as if he was interested, "My father has hoped that I can read more books since I was a child, but in my heart, women's reading is a pastime for idleness, and how many people can read on this grassland, even if I learn, no one accompanies me, but my father wants me to read like a man, whenever I think of this, I can't help but feel bored." ”

Qin'an's temperament has always been lively, and the most on weekdays is horseback archery, and the places he occasionally goes to are those places where the three religions and nine streams are located, such a thing naturally makes the Emperor of Qi feel extremely troubled.

Although the country of Qi has always been a fierce people, and women can also lead troops to fight, but in comparison, the number of women joining the army is certainly smaller, and more is to learn some practical things such as mounted archery, but it is only used in ordinary times.

In this Qi country, those who understand the etiquette of everyone's ladies and those who play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not only few, but they will not be pleased by others on weekdays, and will only make people feel restless and deeply restrained.

Chen Yuan blinked his eyes slightly, "But if there is a companion who is similar to me by my side and accompanies me to read, then I can naturally settle down to read, are you willing to study with me and stay by my side to be a companion." ”

Zhou Mu has never been a fool, no matter when he was young, he was a calculating person, no matter when he made the abacus clanging, and now that a good deal was in front of him, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

What's more, if he didn't participate in his own studies now, after he went back in the future, he would naturally have to learn these things after a long time, but it would be better to follow himself to learn all these things.

What's more, if he follows him, there is still another benefit, which invisibly improves his original identity and status, and naturally there will be few nobles who can bully him.

At this time, Qiuhua, who had originally gone to serve the dishes, had also walked back, followed by a large number of palace maids, each of whom was holding a delicate plate in their hands, but it was also in order, and the dishes were placed on the table step by step.

After all the palace maids had already finished the dishes, Qiuhua still stood in place, let people go down before saluting, with a little entanglement on his face, before he smiled and said, "The slave maid has sent someone to report to Your Majesty just now, saying that Her Royal Highness the princess has woken up, but Your Majesty still feels worried in her heart, and she has to come to see it, and she will come after reviewing the official document." ”

Chen Yuan was originally picking up the hand of the chopsticks, and after being stunned for a moment, he nodded slightly, after all, this moment is always coming, and sooner or later he has to see someone.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, Chen Yuan took out a piece of duck wing from his bowl and put it in Zhou Mu's bowl.

By the time he reacted, Zhou Mu had already eaten everything, Chen Yuan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his eyes, and then hurriedly poured a cup of tea from the side and brought it to his mouth, "The meat I just sandwiched for you is too greasy, I'm afraid your stomach will be a little uncomfortable after you eat it, so hurry up and drink tea to get rid of the greasy." ”

Zhou Mu lives in that kind of place, naturally he has not touched anything with oil and water for many years, and his perennial muscles will naturally cause his stomach to be bad, and if he suddenly eats such a greasy thing, it will inevitably make his stomach uncomfortable.

Zhou Mu looked at the teacup on his lips, obviously a little flattered, and he didn't know if he was too frightened or what, so he took Chen Yuan's hand and drank the tea in the teacup in a small sip.

Zhou Mu only found out at this moment that the princess's hands were extremely white and delicate, which was in stark contrast to his rough hands.

Qiuhua naturally took this scene into his eyes, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he remembered his identity after all, and never said anything.

After eating a little food, Chen Yuan used the handkerchief brought by Qiuhua to gently wipe the oil off her lips, and then smiled softly and said, "I'm done." ”

And Zhou Mu next to him, although he said that he had not eaten a full meal for a long time, if he ate too much at one time, it would not be too good for his body, so he had already asked people to withdraw that meal together.

Chen Yuan walked to the soft couch on the side, then gently lay on it, took a book from the desk, opened a page casually, and handed the book to Zhou Mu, "Anyway, I'm idle and fine, it's better for you to read to me." ”

Zhou Mu lowered his head and took the book with both hands, only to find that the book was a famous book about the history of the Qi Kingdom, and he was also relieved, reading the contents of the book one by one.

Chen Yuan also happened to take this opportunity to make up for the plot that the system did not give him, after all, even if the system gave him a lot of plots, but he couldn't understand this Qi country in more detail, it was better to read more books and find some details from life.

From Zhou Mu's narration, Chen Yuan learned about the origin of this Qi country. In the beginning, it was a huge ancient kingdom, but later they divided their children and established small kingdoms. However, in the later period, there were many small countries, some of which were strong and some of which were weak, and established their own rule, while the power of the ancient kingdoms was constantly weakened. At the end of the day, it became the scene where the kingdoms stood side by side, and the ancient kingdom at the beginning had long since disappeared into the long river of history.

Chen Yuan naturally understood that this was the sub-feudal system he had learned in history class before, and the Zhou Dynasty at that time was also disintegrated by various countries just like now, and finally disappeared into history.
