Chapter 1,450: Marriage Proposal, Visit to the Inspection Institute(2/2)
This "evil" feudal society is really beautiful in some aspects.
Zhou Chen held her hand tightly and said, "I'll take you to get to know Sang Wen, okay?"
"OK."
Zhan Pianpian responded crisply. She also wanted to see if Sang Wen, whom Zhou Chen brought home, was really good. She liked Zhou Chen and wanted to do good for Zhou Chen. As long as Zhou Chen felt good about her, she would
No comments.
In the backyard, Zhou Chen and Zhan Pianpian met Sang Wen.
Compared with Zhan Pianpian, who was elegant and graceful, Sang Wen was too nervous and seemed very cautious, keeping his posture very low for fear of making Zhan Pianpian dissatisfied.
After all, their origins are very different. One is the eldest princess of a country, and the other is just a lowly prostitute in the land of fireworks.
It was just beyond her expectation that Zhan Pianpian was completely different from what she had imagined. Although he looked a bit pretentious, he was very easy to get along with and spoke nicely. After just a while, she relaxed and started chatting with Zhan Pianpian.
very nice.
Seeing this harmonious scene, Zhou Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew very well that once there are more women, there will eventually be conflicts. It has nothing to do with love or not. The way women get along and the relationship between them is much more complicated than that of men.
too much.
But fortunately, Zhan Pianpian and Sang Wen get along very well.
Zhou Chen also found it funny. The silly girl Zhan Pianpian, to put it mildly, does have the air of a powerful woman, with a broad mind and great sense; to put it harshly, she is just a naive girl, and sometimes she is really cute and naive.
But Zhou Chen likes her naivety, her frankness and cuteness, and likes to spend time with her. This is why he did not hesitate to marry her and thought of her.
You can tell whether a girl likes you or not, and he can tell at a glance whether you are pretending or not.
At night, Zhou Chen accompanied Zhan Pianpian to enjoy the moon together, just like last year when he went to the capital. This made Zhan Pianpian very happy. He insisted on dragging Zhou Chen to drink. After a glass of wine, his face turned red.
It's so cute.
Although Zhan Pianpian stayed in the Zhenguo Palace, Zhou Chen naturally would not do anything to her and arranged her in another courtyard for the maid to take care of her.
This is a feudal society. Since he wants to marry Zhan Pianpian as his wife, he naturally has to respect her very much. In addition to Zhan Pianpian's status, he will not touch Zhan Pianpian before getting married. The best should be kept at the end.
Beautiful day.
After Chen Pingping received the letter delivered by Zhou Chen, she immediately went to the palace to meet Emperor Qing.
Emperor Qing read Zhou Chen's letter and threw it aside.
"Zhou Chen has a very good relationship with Zhuang Mohan, and he even interceded for Zhuang Mohan."
"Your Majesty, according to our previous information, Duke Zhen Guo lived in Zhuang Mohan's mansion when he went to the capital in Northern Qi. These two people seem to have known each other for many years and have a very good relationship. Otherwise, Duke Zhen Guo would not have come to ask for help for Zhuang Mohan.
I'll take care of things."
Chen Pingping paid attention to Emperor Qing's expression. It was obvious that Emperor Qing was not happy when he mentioned Zhou Chen.
"Sean is Zhuang Mohan's biological brother. It is reasonable for him to want to save Sean. However, in Kyoto, he only has a good relationship with Duke Zhen Guo. Asking Duke Zhen Guo for help is his only choice.
"
Emperor Qing asked: "Then do you think we should let him see you?"
Chen Pingping muttered: "Listen to His Majesty's decree."
Emperor Qing chuckled softly: "If I don't agree, will Zhou Chen forcefully break into the inspection institute? After all, he is so bold that he can do anything."
Chen Pingping lowered her head and did not respond, but she could also hear how resentful Emperor Qing was towards Zhou Chen. However, what Emperor Qing said was good, and there was no way Zhou Chen would really do that.
There was silence in the imperial study room for a long time before Emperor Qing spoke again.
"Just agree to him. Sean is going to be released anyway, but you have to keep a close eye on me. I must know Sean's secret."
The reason why Sean has been trapped for twenty years without killing him is because of the secrets Sean hides about the temple.
If the Grand Master is the person that Emperor Qing wants to get rid of most, then the temple is Emperor Qing's greatest pursuit in life. If he finds the temple and masters the secrets of the temple, maybe he can gain the ability to live forever like Wu Zhu.
At that time, the world will be his.
That's right, the biggest reason why he wanted to find the temple was Wuzhu. For decades, Wuzhu's appearance had remained unchanged, making him extremely envious and longing.
The Grand Master's lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people, but for him, it is still far from enough. He wants to achieve true immortality, and only the temple can help him achieve it.
This is also the biggest reason why he locked up Sean and planned it with Chen Pingping for many years.
"I obey the decree."
Emperor Qing's promise also made Chen Pingping relieved. Everyone said that he was the King of Dark Night, cold-blooded and ruthless, but he had a good impression of Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen was a great master. If possible, he did not want to fight with Zhou Chen.
Chen is the enemy.
Now that Emperor Qing has given permission, he doesn't have to conflict with Zhou Chen, which is the best result for him.
The next day, when Fan Xian came to the Inspection Institute to find Wang Qinian, he was surprised to find that the atmosphere in the Inspection Institute was very strange today. Many people had serious expressions, and many people would always look at the entrance of the Inspection Institute.
Fan Xian found Wang Qinian and asked curiously: "Why do I feel that the atmosphere in the inspection institute today is not right? What happened?"
Wang Qinian explained in a low voice: "Today, Duke Zhen Guo is coming to visit the Inspection Institute. Dean Chen and his people are preparing to greet him. Although Duke Zhen Guo has a great reputation in Kyoto, no one has actually met Duke Zhen Guo face to face.
There aren’t many, so everyone is very curious about what this young grandmaster looks like and what’s so magical about him.”
Zhou Chen may have a bad reputation in the eyes of many people, but to the martial arts practitioners in the Qing Kingdom, the great master Zhou Chen is a legendary figure, as if he has been deified, and many martial arts practitioners want to see it.
This legendary great master.
When Fan Xian heard this, he was very surprised: "The Duke of Zhen is coming? Does the Duke of Zhen still have a good relationship with Dean Chen?"
Wang Qinian thought of the scene when Zhou Chen came to the inspection institute last year and said: "The dean and Zhen Guo Gong really have some friendship. Speaking of which, I was the one who took charge..."
He was about to brag to Fan Xian about bringing Zhou Chen to the forensic institute when suddenly there was a commotion at the entrance of the forensic institute, and Chen Pingping and others were already waiting at the door to greet him.
"The Duke of Zhenguo is here."
At the entrance of the inspection institute, a luxury carriage slowly stopped. Zhou Chen got off the carriage, and with him came a man covered in a black cloak. This outfit was similar to a shadow, which made people look at it.
Don't know his true face.
Although the people in the inspection institute were a little curious, most of their eyes were still on Zhou Chen.
Shadow pushed Chen Pingping towards him and said, "Dong Zhenguo."
Zhou Chen replied: "Dean Chen, long time no see. Last time you said you wanted to treat me to a banquet, you never believed it. Today I will come in person."
Chen Pingping smiled and apologized: "It is indeed my problem. After today, I will definitely invite the Duke of Zhen to go to Chenyuan for a gathering, and then I will also ask the Duke of Zhen to show his respect."
"must."
"Mr. Zhen Guo, please."
"Dean Chen, please."
Zhou Chen and Chen Pingping walked into the inspection institute one after another. When passing by everyone in the inspection institute, Chen Pingping introduced her subordinates to Zhou Chen.
"Mr. Zhen Guo, these are the mainstays of our inspection institute. This is Zhu Ge, the head of the First Division, Yan Ruohai, the chief of the Fourth Division, and the propaganda chief of the Eighth Division..."
The people introduced by Chen Pingping saluted Zhou Chen one after another, and Zhou Chen responded politely.
When passing by Fan Xian, Zhou Chen stopped and said hello.
"Fan Xian, you haven't been to my house recently. Have you not made any money?"
Fan Xian's face turned bitter. He had only paid back 10,000 taels of 80,000 taels of silver, and was still burdened with a debt of 70,000 taels. It was very embarrassing to be mentioned to Zhou Chen's face.
"I have already worked hard to make money, and I would like to thank the Duke of Zhen for his grace."
Zhou Chen smiled, passed him, and continued walking in with Chen Pingping.
Fan Xian asked Wang Qinian out of curiosity: "Who is that person behind Lord Zhen Guo? Does the Grand Master need to bring bodyguards when he goes out?"
"bodyguard?"
"It means guarding."
"Oh, sir, let's not ask so much about the Grand Master."
"I'm just curious. In broad daylight, dressed like a shadow, do all the big shots like this kind of escort?"
