Chapter 237: Arriving in Northern Zhou

Mrs. Xiahou came out in time to play a round: "Okay, Ah Ying, don't make trouble." Your brother is happy for you. However, do you really have a crush on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Talk to your mother. ”

Xiahou Ying slapped the whip on the table, a little ashamed: "Don't say that, if it gets out, I will lose face!" People haven't taken a fancy to me yet! ”

"What? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't take a fancy to you, eldest sister? Xiahou Feng pretended to be frightened, and then added, "It's really not blind haha." ”

"Xiahou Feng!" Xiahou Ying clenched the whip in his hand again.

"Okay, Ah Feng, don't say that about your sister!" Xiahou Qing didn't allow his pearl in his palm to suffer a little grievance.

Xiahou Feng made a grimace in a place where Xiahou Qing couldn't see, and he knew that his father loved Xiahou Ying the most.

Xiahou Qian stood aside, and saw that the four of them were talking and laughing, fighting and making trouble, like a happy family, and she seemed to be an outsider who didn't fit in.

A trace of jealousy flashed in Xiahou Qian's eyes, and it was fleeting, and she walked to Xiahou Ying's side with a clever smile, and asked with a little puzzlement: "My sister is good-looking, straightforward, and the daughter of our Xiahou family, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not like my sister?" Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes the type of gentleness and virtuousness? ”

Xiahou Ying really thought seriously for a moment: "I heard that most of the women in Tanglin are gentle and lovely, His Royal Highness has been in Tanglin for so many years, I am afraid that I prefer women like Tanglin." ”

"It's okay, sister. His Majesty has already given him a marriage, and he doesn't dare to disrespect His Royal Highness if he wants to come. ”

"I told him yes. If he has a woman he likes in the future, I won't stop him. Xiahou Ying told the truth, she is not a vulgar woman who will intrigue and be jealous for a man.

Xiahou Qing immediately gave his daughter a thumbs up: "Ah Ying is really atmospheric." Even if this prince opens a harem in the future, you are the main palace, and others will not dare to give you anger. ”

Seeing that her sister had a good home, Ah Qian was also happy for her sister. I don't know if I can also find Ruyi Langjun......" Xiahou Qian lowered her eyes, slightly worried.

"Ah Qian, don't worry, you have just arrived, take your time, sister, I will also help you find a good job." Xiahou patted his chest and promised.

"Then thank you sister first." Xiahou Qian smiled gratefully.

The first thing Zhao Chengxi and his entourage did when they arrived in Zhoudu City was to find the most well-known restaurant, ask for a private room, and have a good meal.

"During this time, we were so busy traveling that we didn't have the heart to eat something good. Now that I'm in the capital this week, I can't try the delicacies of the capital this week. Today, you don't have to stick to your identity, just sit down and have a good meal. ”

Zhao Chengxi asked Chang Yi, Qin Yan, and Niu Lian'er to sit at the same table, and called the shopkeeper to serve all the signature dishes.

Fortunately, everyone eats this Northern Zhou cuisine with relish and does not feel unaccustomed.

Qin Chongzhou didn't pay attention to his appetite, his attention was on Zhao Chengxi, and he was busy adding meat and vegetables to her.

I have to say that Qin Chongzhou is finding more and more pleasure from feeding Zhao Chengxi, watching Zhao Chengxi eat deliciously, Qin Chongzhou gets a lot more satisfaction than the food brings him.

"The mutton in this Northern Zhou is especially delicious." Zhao Chengxi couldn't help but admire.

"Xi'er, don't be greedy if it's delicious." Qin Chongzhou couldn't help but instruct, "You have been unaccustomed to water and soil in Beijing City before, so you still have to pay attention to your diet." ”

"Didn't the doctor prescribe medicine before leaving? You've been watching me eat these days. Zhao Chengxi didn't care.

Qin Chongzhou added soup for Zhao Chengxi: "Then drink more soup." ”

Qin Yan silently watched his old master worry about where there was still a decisive killing on the battlefield, and the slightest appearance of invincibility was simply eaten to death by His Majesty.

However, Qin Yan is no longer unconvinced now, this is the taste of the young couple, where can he be a subordinate.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Chengxi called the shopkeeper: "Little Er, we have just arrived, I don't know if there is anything new in Zhou Ducheng recently?" Listen to it, rest assured, your reward is indispensable. ”

Seeing that Zhao Chengxi was brightly dressed and generous, the shopkeeper was naturally happy to say to her: "The guest officer is right, there are indeed a lot of new things in the capital this week." ”

"If it is said that the return of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has been missing for several years, is not new." Zhao Chengxi said tentatively.

"This is not new. What I want to say is that His Majesty has married His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xiahou Ying, the concubine of the Xiahou family. This Xiahou family is the richest man in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Xiahou Ying has a pungent temperament, no one looks down on her, everyone is talking in private that Xiahou Ying is only afraid that she will become an old girl, but she didn't expect to become a princess. ”

Zhao Chengxi and Qin Chongzhou glanced at each other, and they both saw a ridiculous smile in each other's eyes.

Zhao Chengxi remained silent, and asked again: "I don't know how the future crown princess was born?" Can you have a good temperament? ”

"Miss Xiahou is indeed first-class in appearance, but she has a hot temperament, and a long whip plays so vigorously that it annoys her, no matter who she is, she has to be whipped twice."

Zhao Chengxi slandered, which is complementary to Ling Xiu......

"What's new then?"

"The freshest and most novel thing is that His Majesty issued an edict yesterday, and we have one more prince in the Northern Zhou Dynasty!"

"Isn't there another new prince?"

"No, no, no." The shopkeeper shook his head, "It's that our seventh princess is actually a prince dressed as a man!" ”

Zhao Chengxi was also really taken aback: "There is such a thing? Then why do these four princes dress up as women? ”

It is said that the mother of the four princes, Concubine Xin, was weak when she was pregnant, and later moved to the palace to raise the baby. When Xin Concubine Niangniang asked the Buddha for blessing in the temple, she met a master and dialed it. The master said that the fetus is congenitally deficient in yang energy, and if the fetus wants to grow up healthily, it must be raised by a boy and a woman, and it cannot be known yet, and the male body can only be restored after the age of fifteen. ”

"How do you know so clearly, as if you heard it with your own ears?"

The shopkeeper was anxious: "Guest officer, this is not my nonsense, this is what everyone is talking about on the streets." ”

"I didn't say you were talking nonsense, don't worry. Then this is the crime of deceiving the king, and Your Majesty did not punish them? ”

"I heard that the concubine invited herself to become a monk and pray for His Majesty's blessing and atonement. Thinking that His Majesty remembered that there was a reason for the incident of Concubine Xin's mother, and it was excusable, he allowed the seventh princess to resume her status as a prince, and there was no blame. ”

"It's a strange thing." Zhao Chengxi signaled Chang Yi to give a reward, and the shopkeeper went down with a thousand thanks.

"This fourth prince and I are in the same way." Zhao Chengxi teased himself.

Qin Chongzhou asked, "Qin Yan, how much do you know about this fourth prince?" ”

Qin Yan had explored the Northern Zhou Dynasty for a period of time and had a good understanding of the affairs of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
