Qin Zhen has always known that Lou Yan is very good.
However, he put a cold shell on himself, making people shy away.
He is famously mute and a feared King of Hell. Even if a woman has thoughts about him, she doesn't even dare to say a word.
However, there is a girl who is not afraid of his cold outer shell, can see through his inner self at a glance, and dares to get close to him regardless of her own safety.
Hu Yafei is really a very courageous girl.
Qin Zhen didn't have any bad feelings towards Hu Yafei, she even admired him a little.
This girl is fundamentally different from Yun Rufeng and others.
Along the way, the two of them chatted happily.
After getting off the carriage at the palace gate, Xiao Yao came over and couldn't help but look a little surprised when he saw the appearance of the two of them.
He looked at Qin Zhen and said after a while: "You are really surprising. I have never seen you so generous before."
Qin Zhen raised her eyebrows: "Do you think I would fight with her on the carriage?"
Xiao Yao said nothing.
Qin Zhen smiled and said, "That may be destined to disappoint you."
On the other side, Hu Yafei was already in front of Lou Yan. She didn't care how cold Lou Yan's face was, and just talked around them.
"Although you, the princess, are not the most beautiful woman in the world, she is quite a nice person." Hu Yafei said to Lou Yan, "I like her very much. When I live in the palace in the future, we will definitely get along harmoniously."
Lou Yan didn't even raise his eyebrows and said coldly: "You won't have the chance to live in the palace."
"Why?" Hu Yafei was puzzled, "Am I not good-looking?"
Lou Yan: "It has nothing to do with whether you are good-looking or not."
"I am the apple of the eye of the King of Southern Xinjiang. If you marry me, you will get the support of Southern Xinjiang. The entire Southern Xinjiang is my dowry. You will not lose anything by marrying me."
"This is not a business, and I don't need support from southern Xinjiang."
"Why are you so weird? A beautiful woman brought you a generous dowry and wanted to marry you, but you actually refused?"
"Anyway, I won't marry you."
Lou Yan walked up to Qin Zhen, held Qin Zhen's hand, pointed at Xiao Yao next to him, and said, "Young princess, please take a look at him. He is the fourth prince who is your direct descendant. He is willing to marry you."
Xiao Yao's face darkened and he looked at Lou Yan coldly.
Hu Yafei glanced at Xiao Yao, looked him up and down, and finally looked back and said to Lou Yan, "But I'm attracted to you."
Lou Yan had a headache and felt that he couldn't make sense with this little princess. He simply stopped talking and turned around to leave.
Hu Yafei was stunned: "Where are you going?"
"Your Majesty ordered me to welcome the princess into the city. Now that the task is completed, it is time for me to go back." Lou Yan said calmly, "I will not accompany the princess during the period of confinement."
Hu Yafei was shocked: "Then what should I do?"
"The fourth prince will be responsible for the princess's affairs throughout the whole process. The princess can come to him." After Lou Yan finished speaking, he took Qin Zhen and left.
He was afraid that others would catch up with him, so he drove the carriage very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At the palace gate, Hu Yafei stamped her feet angrily.
Xiao Yao glanced at her and then said quietly: "The third brother is newly married and is very tight to his princess, for fear of wronging her. Princess, don't take it to heart."
Hu Yafei frowned: "How many concubines are there in the prince's house?"
Xiao Yao: "... not one."
Hu Yafei opened her mouth, as if she couldn't believe it: "Not one?"
Xiao Yao nodded and said with a half-smile: "You have just arrived in the capital, and many things are not clear yet. My third sister-in-law has a special background, so..."
"It's amazing," Hu Yafei directly interrupted Xiao Yao, opened her eyes and said, "She can actually make the prince have no concubines by his side. It's really amazing."
Xiao Yao: "..."
"I'm going to learn from her and see how she does it." Hu Yafei said as she turned around and entered the palace.
Xiao Yao frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with the princess' mind.
———
Prince's Mansion.
Lou Yan hugged Qin Zhen and carefully looked at his face: "Are you really not angry?"
Qin Zhen raised her eyebrows: "You've asked me many times."
"I'm just afraid that you'll be unhappy and won't say anything, which will hurt you." Lou Yan whispered, "That Hu Yafei, I don't know why she did that. Anyway, I didn't give her any hint. If you feel unhappy,
, then I can go and tell my father that I will never see her again."
"It's not necessary," Qin Zhen smiled and said, "Why make His Majesty angry because of her? What's more, you are a prince, a prince, and a general. There are so many people watching your every move, so you can't act on impulse."
"As for Hu Yafei...she is just a child who has been taught bad things." Qin Zhen said softly, "She has no evil intentions, and I don't hate her. You don't have to worry that I will be angry because of it."
She reached out to hold Lou Yan's cheek and said with a smile, "Also, why do you always think that I will be bullied by women outside?"
She lowered her head and kissed the tip of Lou Yan's nose, and said with a half-smile, "Have you forgotten, I am not someone who can be bullied."
She can bring down the prince with one hand, but she can't deal with several women?
Lou Yan looked at her and murmured in a low voice: "I know you are powerful, but I just don't want you to suffer these grievances."
Qin Zhen smiled: "It's okay. Staying at home is boring anyway, so why not play with them."
"Just do what you have to do and leave the rest to me." Qin Zhen said softly.
Lou Yan hugged her tightly in silence, and after a long time, he said: "One day, I will never let these messy things come to you again."
He has not climbed high enough yet, so he has to let his Zhenzhen suffer with him.
Qin Zhen didn't think so, she said: "I'll wait."
She will help Lou Yan if he wants it.
Because of this, Qin Zhen never thought of becoming an enemy of the little princess in southern Xinjiang from the very beginning.
After meeting Hu Yafei, Qin Zhen was even more certain of this.
Lou Yan made great achievements in Southern Xinjiang, and Southern Xinjiang was his foundation. At this time, the support of the King of Southern Xinjiang was crucial.
Therefore, Xiao Yao's wishful thinking may come to nothing.
Lou Yan used the excuse of being grounded to hide in the palace and did not go out. Even though the palace came several times to ask Lou Yan to enter the palace, Lou Yan found various excuses to shirk.
On the third day, Hu Yafei, who had never seen anyone, came to the door.
Hu Yafei walked into the palace under the leadership of Linglong, pointing at the buildings as she walked.
"Why is that area so bare? Why is there a pavilion next to it?"
Linglong glanced over there, and then said: "There used to be a pond here, but it was filled in later. The pavilion existed before."
Hu Yafei was shocked: "Why should the pond be filled in?"
Linglong laughed and said, "Because the princess almost slipped and fell into the water once, the prince ordered people to fill up the pond."
