"It seems that it is not easy to find someone to tell the truth these days."

The emperor pretended to be disappointed and said.

Zhongli's body trembled suddenly, and he was about to kneel down again towards the emperor, but the emperor stretched out his hand and waved him back.

Finally hearing what he wanted to hear the most, Zhongli let out a long sigh of relief, he bowed and clasped his hands, saluted respectfully towards the emperor, and walked out step by step facing the emperor.

"The grass people will retire first!"

But before Zhongli retreated to the door, he heard his father-in-law's shrill voice singing outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess is here."

But before the emperor could announce it in the imperial study, Zhongli heard the door behind him being vigorously pushed open, and then a delicate voice came.

"Father, Shan'er came to see you, and by the way, I brought you the soup prepared for you by the concubine herself!"

The voice was a little familiar, and the thought was immediately denied by him after the clock arose.

Even if people who don't know about the affairs of the court know that the emperor loves his seventh princess very much, how could he have seen her?

Especially since I've only been in the capital for a few days?

It's just that this thought has just fallen, and I saw a girl in palace clothes walking briskly towards me.

When someone came to the backlight, Zhongli didn't look at what people looked like, and besides, there was a difference between men and women, and he should avoid this situation.

So he just bowed his head and stood beside him, wanting to wait for the pair of embroidered shoes in front of him to leave, so that he could leave here as soon as possible, and if he stayed here for a minute longer, Zhongli would not be at ease.

But things didn't work out as expected.

The person who had just passed by him suddenly stopped, turned to his side, and whispered uncertainly.

"Zhongli?"

Zhongli was taken aback, and anyway, he bowed down and saluted the princess.

"It's the grass people!"

Zhao Shan'er looked at the man in front of her with bright eyes, her little heart was beating hard, since she knew that her father had summoned Zhong Li, she couldn't sleep and eat, and today she was even more restless, for fear that her father would embarrass him and want to see him again.

So while her mother was not paying attention, she took away the meal made by her mother and came to see her father, and sure enough, she saw Zhongli.

And in order not to be too abrupt, she also kept a careful thought, pretending to see Zhongli inadvertently.

Zhao Shan'er was annoyed in her heart that Zhongli didn't look up at herself, she frowned, turned to look at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, looked angry, and pouted and said dissatisfied.

"Why didn't Father tell Shan'er that Zhongli came to face the saint today?"

Zhong was surprised.

Could it be that they have actually seen it? Or does this my seventh princess know herself?

Zhao Shan'er didn't know that Zhongli had more than one thing to think about less, she reluctantly and angrily glanced at Zhongli behind her and walked towards the emperor.

"Haha, Shan'er blames her father, Shan'er has never asked about her father, why is this exception?"

The emperor laughed and waved his hand at Zhao Shan'er to come and sit down, but looked gloomily at Zhongli, who was still with his head bowed, who stayed in place.

And Zhao Shan'er's face instantly turned red because of these words, and she shyly grabbed the emperor's arm, stomped her feet, and said coquettishly.

"Father will make fun of Shan'er!"

While speaking, Zhao Shan'er secretly looked at Zhongli again, and the more she looked, the more happy she became.

Yesterday, she had been reciting the poem she had heard from Zhongli since she returned.

Of course, the emperor would not fail to notice Zhao Shan'er's careful thoughts, and he stopped Zhongli with a sneer in his heart.

"Zhongli, my princess has praised you very much, saying that you are amazing, and she praised you in front of me yesterday!"

Yesterday?

Zhongli's heart sank suddenly, yesterday's banquet was not ......

Pregnant!

A figure suddenly appeared in her mind, and Zhongli couldn't help but secretly raise her eyes to look at the person who was leaning on the emperor's side.

Sure enough, the person who was looking at him with a shy face at this time wasn't the same boy at yesterday's poetry meeting? It turned out that she had already seen the identity of the other party's women's clothes, but she didn't know that this was a princess dressed as a man!

But think about it, after all, the attitude of the four princes towards her is obvious.

"The grass people don't dare to be, they just read the book for a few years and know a few words, and they can't afford to be amazing, there are many people who are better than the grass people in the apocalypse!"

Zhongli exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, bowed and slowly spoke.

But Zhao Shan'er didn't follow, didn't she praise Zhongli in front of his father several times before just because he wanted him to leave a good impression in front of his father?

Who in the palace who is familiar with him now doesn't know that Zhongli is a talented person?

But if Zhongli's words go out, I don't know which villain will laugh at him!

This is not only related to Zhongli's own problems, but also her face problems.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shan'er stomped her feet again fiercely, glaring at Zhongli with a red face and red ears.

"Bold! I say hello, you're good, if you say if someone is better than you, find out and show me! ”

Zhongli was silent.

Otherwise, tell the other party that your poems are plagiarized from others?

And the emperor laughed at this time, obviously he was still very happy about this kind of thing.

"It just so happens that the princess came to see me and met you today, so let the princess take you around the palace, and by the way, the two exchanged poems.

His mind turned, and he spoke quickly.

Hearing the emperor's words, Zhao Shan'er lowered her head shyly and secretly glanced at Zhongli below, wanting to see what his reaction was, but the other party didn't seem to understand what the emperor meant, and responded respectfully.

"Yes, the grass people obey the holy will!" Zhongli clasped his fists in salute.

Zhao Shan'er couldn't see any emotion on his face, and she was a little drumming in her heart.

Could it be that what I just said made the other party unhappy? After all, the mother concubine was very gentle in front of her father before, did she just behave too fiercely?

After retiring, Zhongli followed Zhao Shan'er and the two walked around the palace.

"Why did my father announce that he saw Zhong Gongzi today?"

Zhao Shan'er, who was walking in front, saw that Zhongli had been following her, so she simply stopped and waited for Zhongli, and the two walked together, she thought for a long time and then had nothing to say.

"The emperor announced that the grass people wanted to know about the border city academy."

Zhongli still lowered his head to answer Zhao Shan'er's question.

Not really, but he still replied.

Whether it is an emperor or a princess, he has always been a businessman, and he will always have a low status at this time, and maintaining a humble posture will definitely avoid many problems.

But Zhao Shan'er was not happy.

The Zhongli I like is the high-spirited Zhongli at the poetry meeting yesterday, not the Zhongli who has been following him now, bowing his head and being humble, and only promised.

What's the difference between him and those other men? Why was it like yesterday and it is like this now?

No, it shouldn't!

"You raise your head and talk to this princess, this princess doesn't like you like this!"

Zhao Shan'er frowned and spoke in a fierce voice.

"The grass people don't dare, you are a princess, and the grass people should be like this!"

Saying that, Zhongli's body bent even harder, no matter what the emperor wanted to do, she didn't want to have anything to do with any royal children.

"Hmph, if this princess asks you to raise your head, she will raise her head, and if you don't listen to this princess's order, she will let you be boarded!"

With the princess's words, Zhongli stood up straight and faced the princess in front of her, and she looked at the person in front of her seriously with some helplessness.

I saw the seventh princess looking at herself with spring in her eyes and blushing face.

Zhongli was suddenly shocked, and instantly thought of one word: favorite!

This look is exactly the same as when Zhao Yiyan looked at her, but she was more shy than his overly fiery and possessive eyes.

Could it be that this seventh princess likes herself?

Zhongli was just guessing, but what happened next made Zhongli more sure of his thoughts.

The Seventh Princess took her for a walk in the Imperial Garden, explaining to herself that these flowers that were still blooming in the winter were very enthusiastic, which made Zhongli a little overwhelmed.

As for what the emperor said when he parted, Zhongli also completely understood what it meant. Does this emperor want to let himself accompany the Seventh Princess and make her happy?

She is not stupid, and she will not think that the emperor will marry Zhao Shan'er to herself.

What are you? It's not even as good as a minion next to the other party!

"Zhong Gongzi, are there plum blossoms in the border city?"

Seeing Zhongli's lack of interest, Zhao Shan'er suddenly asked.

Zhongli was stunned for a moment, but nodded anyway.

"I've seen it, but not much. After all, in the border city, we often experience the chaos of war, and we rarely plant those precious flowers and plants, so it is better to plant more food to be practical. However, many large families will also have plum blossoms, but it is difficult to survive! ”

"I also heard from the emperor's brother and father that life in the border city is very hard, not as rich as in Jingcheng."

Speaking of this, Zhao Shan'er still felt a little pity, after all, Zhongli lived in that kind of place. But as soon as her mind changed, she immediately smiled and suggested.

"But Zhong Gongzi can consider living in the capital, and the Fourth Emperor Brother can help you."

After Zhao Shan'er hesitated for a moment, she also tossed back and forth with her hands, blushing her cheeks and biting her lip, and her body swayed back and forth before she spoke.

"What if...... If you need my help, I'm ...... I wouldn't say no either. ”

When Zhongli heard this, where could he not understand? He quickly took a step back and thanked Qigong.

"It seems that the Seventh Princess hasn't heard the emperor talk about the current situation in the border city recently! The current border city is not as poor as before, on the contrary, the people in the border city now live very well, of course, this is all because of the emperor's governance to have the current border city! ”

Zhongli's face was always full of smiles, and there was even a hint of pride when he talked about the border city.
