Chapter 19 You don't have to learn to break the rules!
Xiao Chengye seems to like Qin Zhen very much.
He talked a lot with her and even stayed with her to have lunch with her.
Not even the prince has such an honor.
Qin Zhen didn't seem to feel anything wrong with this.
On the dining table, Xiao Chengye sat at the top, Prince Xiao Jue and Third Prince Xiao Yan sat on the left and right respectively, while Qin Zhen, the female bandit, sat opposite.
She held chopsticks in her hand, her eyes lit up every time she tasted a dish, and she said to Xiao Chengye: "It's delicious."
Xiao Chengye said with a smile in his eyes: "If it tastes good, eat more."
Qin Zhen was also polite and stretched out her chopsticks.
Next to him, Xiao Jue frowned and endured with difficulty, his eyes almost boring Qin Zhen into a hole.
Qin Zhen, why didn't you learn the benefits before entering the palace? When eating in front of the emperor, servants need to serve the dishes, you can't do it yourself.
But the emperor never spoke, and the prince could only stare.
Qin Zhen was oblivious to Xiao Jue's glare. When she ate a dish, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "This is particularly delicious!"
After saying that, he actually stretched out his hand, picked up a chopstick and put it in Xiao Chengye's bowl: "Your Majesty, you should try it too."
The scene fell silent instantly.
Xiao Chengye stared at the food in the bowl and didn't speak for a while.
Xiao Jue couldn't bear it any longer and scolded Qin Zhen: "How can you use the chopsticks you used to serve my father? What's more, all the meals my father uses must be inspected one by one by the attendants before they can be eaten."
"Ah?" Qin Zhen looked at the prince in confusion, then turned to Xiao Chengye: "Your Majesty, I, I don't know."
She quickly put down her chopsticks and knelt down, lowered her head and said, "A common girl is used to having meals with her father at home. If she doesn't change her mind, she subconsciously... A common girl is ignorant and breaks the rules. Please punish her!"
Xiao Chengye finally spoke.
He first glanced at the prince and said in a calm tone: "She is new here and doesn't understand anything. Why are you so harsh on her?"
Xiao Jue was stunned: "Father, I..."
Xiao Chengye did not look at him, but said to Qin Zhen: "Get up, I don't blame you."
Qin Zhen stood up, glanced at him hesitantly, and whispered: "The daughter of the people has realized her mistake. The daughter of the people will not dare to do it anymore. The daughter of the people..."
"Who said you made a mistake?" Xiao Chengye smiled, picked up the chopsticks, ate the dish Qin Zhen gave him, and said, "This dish tastes really good, I like it very much."
Qin Zhen's eyes showed surprise: "As long as your Majesty likes it."
Xiao Chengye waved to her and said, "Sit down."
Qin Zhen then sat down and said: "People's girls don't know the rules, they will learn them, and they will never do it next time..."
"What's there to learn from breaking the rules?" Xiao Chengye interrupted Qin Zhen and said, "That's good for you. I like it very much. You don't need to learn any rules."
After he finished speaking, he added: "You always call people's women people's women, which doesn't sit well with me."
Qin Zhen's eyes were a little confused, and she didn't know how to call herself for a moment.
Xiao Chengye showed a smile in his eyes, looked at Qin Zhen and said leisurely: "I have four princes under my knees, but I only have one daughter, the eldest princess. I like you very much when I see you, how about... you become my daughter?"
As soon as these words came out, both Xiao Jue and Lou Yan's expressions changed.
Only Qin Zhen still looked confused, and subconsciously replied: "But, but I have a father."
Xiao Jue couldn't bear it anymore: "Your Majesty likes you, and accepting you is a compliment. Why are you so ignorant?"
Xiao Chengye looked at Xiao Jue, somewhat dissatisfied: "Prince?"
Xiao Jue shut his mouth instantly and lowered his head, not daring to say any more.
Xiao Chengye looked at Qin Zhen again and said, "Your father is still your father. I won't compete with him for my daughter. But, wouldn't it be nice to have one more person to love you?"
Qin Zhen hesitated for a long time before saying: "I like your Majesty very much..."
Xiao Chengye laughed: "Then what are you waiting for?"
Qin Zhen suddenly smiled and knelt down and kowtowed: "My son, Qin Zhen, I have met my father. I wish my father good health, longevity and longevity."
"Okay! From today on, you are my Princess Anshun." Xiao Chengye took out a jade pendant and handed it to Qin Zhen, and said with a smile: "With this jade pendant, you can come to the palace to play with me at any time. What will happen in the future?
If your father can't solve the problem, you can come to me and I will make the decision for you."
Qin Zhen took the jade pendant with both hands: "Thank you, father."
Xiao Jue, who was standing on one side, looked at Qin Zhen a little differently.
This Qin Zhen is too favored by her father.
When leaving the palace, the emperor gave him a generous reward, which took several horses and carriages to load.
At the entrance of the palace, three people stood facing each other.
Xiao Jue glanced at Lou Yan, with deep disgust in his eyes, and said in an unceremonious tone: "You go first, I have something to say to Princess Anshun."
Lou Yan lowered his head and said yes, turned around and left.
Xiao Jue sneered: "So what if you're wearing a prince's uniform? A slave is just a slave, and wearing a dragon robe doesn't look like an emperor."
Qin Zhen pretended not to hear and asked Xiao Jue: "What are your orders, His Royal Highness?"
Xiao Jue's eyes instantly became gentle.
He wanted to reach out and pull Qin Zhen's wrist, but Qin Zhen dodged him: "It's not good to be seen by pulling at the palace gate."
"It's my fault, I didn't expect this." Xiao Jue smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for so long. I miss you so much that I couldn't hold it back."
Qin Zhen closed her mouth and said nothing, fearing that she would spit it out when she opened her mouth.
Xiao Jue said affectionately: "We say goodbye to Longhu Mountain. I'm too busy to see you. You won't blame me, right?"
Qin Zhen sneered in her heart and said obediently: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is busy with everything, how can I blame you? There were many offenses on Longhu Mountain back then, so please don't blame His Highness the Crown Prince."
"You didn't know my identity at the beginning, how could I be surprised?" Xiao Jue looked at Qin Zhen and said: "Besides, the friendship between you and me, whether it is strange or not, is too far-fetched."
Qin Zhen smiled and said, "It's okay if the prince doesn't blame me."
Xiao Jue seemed to want to say something more, but Qin Zhen covered her head and took a step back, saying, "I was so nervous last night that I couldn't sleep. I have a headache now."
Xiao Jue swallowed his words and hurriedly said: "I will give you the title of Doctor..."
"No need," Qin Zhen said, "I'll just go back and have a rest."
Seeing that her pale face didn't look like she was faking it, Xiao Jue nodded and said, "Then go back and rest quickly."
Qin Zhen saluted, turned around and quickly got into the carriage. Before she could hear clearly what the prince said outside, the carriage rushed out impatiently, as if she didn't want to stay any longer.
Xiao Jue: "..."
Xiao Jue looked a little ugly.
But who would have thought that a female bandit could be so favored by the emperor and even be made a princess?
This forced Xiao Jue to pay more attention to Qin Zhen.
Coupled with the eight thousand dragon-protecting troops directly under the emperor... Xiao Jue had something to worry about.
On the other side, Qin Zhen's carriage did not return to Hulong Mansion. Instead, it stopped at a restaurant in a zigzag manner.
