When Hu Yafei followed Qin Zhen out, she was dumbfounded.
She saw three men lined up in front of her, looking at her with faint eyes.
Hu Yafei swallowed her saliva, turned around and asked Qin Zhen: "What does this mean?"
Qin Zhen smiled and said, "Don't you want to go out for a walk? There are so many people and it's so lively."
She pointed at the three men in front of her and introduced: "This is Major General Yuan Chu. He went to fight with the prince in southern Xinjiang. You should have met him before, and he is an old acquaintance. This is Tang Qingzheng, the son of the Minister of Hubu, who is from the capital."
A famous young talent. This is Zhao Qing, the eldest brother who grew up with me. He is now serving in the Imperial Army and has a bright future."
Qin Zhen looked sideways at Hu Yafei beside her and said, "Wouldn't it be better to let them accompany us for a walk?"
Hu Yafei looked at Qin Zhen, then at the men, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay then."
So, this strange combination came out.
After all, Hu Yafei was careless. As soon as she went out, she would forget everything she saw interesting things. In addition, Tang Qingzheng and Zhao Qing deliberately approached each other to please, and Hu Yafei almost forgot about herself.
Behind the crowd, Yuan Chu fell a few steps behind and stood in a row with Qin Zhen. He whispered: "Princess, you don't need to call me for this kind of thing... right?"
Qin Zhen raised her eyebrows: "Why, is it that the little princess is not pretty enough, or is it that the status of the jewel in the eye of the King of Southern Xinjiang is not worthy of you?"
Yuan Chu felt a cold sweat on his forehead: "Of course not."
He just didn't expect that the princess could come up with such a damaging trick and forcefully give the prince's love to someone else.
Yuan Chu muttered: "The prince doesn't want to marry her, so why not bother to find her a husband?"
Even I was roped in to make up the numbers.
Qin Zhen smiled and said: "It's easy not to marry her, but have you ever thought about the consequences? When the king of Southern Xinjiang is angry, there will be another war in Southern Xinjiang, and then the people will be in dire straits. Will you and him still have a good life?"
"
Yuan Chu pursed his lips and remained silent.
"This little princess cannot be offended." Qin Zhen said softly, "I don't want to cause him any trouble."
Yuan Chu looked at her deeply and said, "The princess is thoughtful."
After a pause, Yuan Chu still couldn't hold it back and said, "But, I really can't."
Qin Zhen saw the confusion on his face and was slightly surprised: "Why, you don't want to get a wife?"
How could she remember that these people all acted like they wanted to have a wife at her wedding?
"Why don't you think about it? Even in your dreams." Yuan Chu said angrily.
Among these rough men who spend their days wielding swords and guns, who wouldn’t want to have a delicate and soft wife waiting for them when they get home?
He sighed and said, "It's just...it's just that I already have someone else in my heart."
Yuan Chu said coyly, his face turning a little unnaturally red.
Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment and looked at Yuan Chu: "Who is so capable that he can actually take down Major General Yuan Chu?"
Yuan Chu turned his head away, raised his hand and touched his nose, and said softly: "She has taken me down, but I haven't taken her down yet."
Then he looked at Qin Zhen and said pitifully: "Princess, please spare me, don't let her see me shopping with this little princess, otherwise I will be even less able to win over her."
Qin Zhen was not one to beat up mandarin ducks, so she said, "In that case, you should go back first."
Yuan Chu breathed a sigh of relief and left in a hurry.
On the other side, Hu Yafei was so carried away with playing that she didn't even notice that one person was missing.
Zhao Qing grew up in a bandit den. Even though he had been in the Forbidden Army for many years, he could not hide his gangster spirit. He was silent and spoke little, and followed Hu Yafei quietly. Most of the things Hu Yafei bought were hung on his body.
Tang Qingzheng was handsome and charming, and his words were interesting, making Hu Yafei laugh.
Qin Zhen walked behind, Manman came over and whispered: "Princess, who do you think... the little princess will like?"
Qin Zhen: "How do I know this?"
Manman murmured: "I don't know if it will be useful. I hope this little princess will like them so that she will not pester our prince all day long."
Qin Zhen smiled, but thought in her heart that things like relationships still depend on fate. What she did today was just to temporarily distract Hu Yafei's attention and stop her from focusing on Lou Yan alone.
Speaking of which, Tang Qingzheng and Zhao Qing were both brought in to help by her.
The group of people wandered outside for a day. Hu Yafei was finally tired, but she insisted on staying with Qin Zhen in the palace instead of returning to the palace.
Qin Zhen had no choice but to follow her and take her back to the palace.
However, as soon as he entered the door, he bumped into Lou Yan, who had been waiting at the door.
Lou Yan stepped forward and hugged Qin Zhen: "Why did you go out for so long before coming back?"
Qin Zhen patted him on the back: "I took the little princess for a walk."
Lou Yan turned around at this time and saw Hu Yafei standing next to him. His face suddenly sank: "Why are you still here?"
Hu Yafei looked at him with burning eyes and said, "The princess and I have agreed not to return to the palace tonight but to stay overnight in the palace."
Lou Yan suddenly changed his face, looked down at the person in his arms, and asked in disbelief: "Zhen Zhen?"
Qin Zhen patted him comfortingly: "It's okay. There are so many guest rooms in the palace, so I'll prepare one for her to live in."
Lou Yan: "I don't agree."
Lou Yan's mood got a little better, and he pointed at Hu Yafei and said, "Don't you know what she is here for? She wants to destroy us, why do you still keep her in the house?"
Before Qin Zhen opened her mouth, Hu Yafei over there became unhappy: "Who said I came to destroy you? I have said many times that I will not destroy you."
Qin Zhen reached out and touched Lou Yan's shoulder to comfort her: "Okay, it's too late today. She's just staying temporarily and will return to the palace tomorrow."
Lou Yan still had a dark face, and looked at Hu Yafei with a murderous look in his eyes, as if he wanted to throw him out.
Hu Yafei was also annoyed and said loudly: "Why are you like this? A man is so stingy about arguing with a woman! Brother Zhao Qing is much better than you. He never talks too much, let alone such unpleasant words.
"
Lou Yan raised his eyebrows: "Zhao Qing?"
Qin Zhen said quickly: "I will explain to you later."
Qin Zhen called Linglong over and asked her to pack a place for Hu Yafei. Then she said to Hu Yafei, "Did you have fun today? Is there anywhere else you want to go? I'll let Zhao Qing accompany you."
Hu Yafei immediately turned her attention away from Lou Yan and said, "Brother Zhao Qing, can you accompany me? Then I'm going to play outside the city tomorrow."
Qin Zhen nodded: "Okay."
Hu Yafei got her promise and happily followed Linglong to rest without even looking at Lou Yan.
Lou Yan blinked, looked down at Qin Zhen, and said leisurely: "What did Zhen Zhen do? Aren't you going to tell me?"
With a smile in her eyes, Qin Zhen stretched out her hand to pull the person into the yard: "I didn't do anything, I just acted as a matchmaker."
