After Qin Zhen broke up with Hu Yafei in the military camp that day, she didn't see Hu Yafei for several days.
I heard that the young princess suddenly fell ill and was staying in the palace. During this period, Zhao Qing came twice, begging her to find a way to meet Hu Yafei or inquire about Hu Yafei, but Qin Zhen refused.
She didn't know how to tell Zhao Qing about Hu Yafei.
Hu Yafei appeared in front of people again half a month later.
This time, she did not clamor for her old friend the third prince to accompany her, but instead focused on the fourth prince Xiao Yao.
She seemed to suddenly see the goodness of the fourth prince, and put all her eyes and attention on Xiao Yao. Not only did she let Xiao Yao take her around, but he also shared everything he brought from southern Xinjiang.
To Xiao Yao, anyone with a discerning eye can see what this little princess of southern Xinjiang means.
This matter seemed to be an affair between children, but as it gradually became bigger, it was not that simple.
In the court hall, which had been peaceful for a long time, waves gradually began to surge.
Qin Zhen is in the palace, but she also knows the news about Hu Yafei.
She sighed in her heart, secretly thinking that this little princess was really well taught by the King of Nanjiang, and she might have never disobeyed her father's wishes.
Qin Zhen doesn't really care whether she wants to get married or join forces with Xiao Yao. In her opinion, even if they join forces, she and Lou Yan will not be completely unable to deal with them, but it will be relatively more troublesome.
Qin Zhen's only dilemma now is that she doesn't know how to explain all this to Zhao Qing.
However, it was all her own fault that things turned out like this, and she couldn't just let it go.
So, Qin Zhen entered the palace that day, intending to visit Zhao Qing and chat with him.
When we found Zhao Qing, he was wearing armor and leaning on the tower. His face had no expression and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
Qin Zhen approached and called out: "Brother."
Qin Zhen is the only one who can call Zhao Qing like this.
Zhao Qing turned his head with a smile on his face: "Why did you think of visiting me today?"
Qin Zhen smiled and said, "Let me see you and tell you something by the way..."
Qin Zhen's words stopped abruptly.
The moment Zhao Qing turned his head, Qin Zhen looked over his shoulder and saw two figures walking on the palace road not far away.
Those two figures were Hu Yafei and Xiao Yao who had disappeared for a long time.
Zhao Qing was just standing here, was he looking over there?
Zhao Qing followed Qin Zhen's gaze, smiled, and said, "It's a good match, right?"
Qin Zhen: "..."
"The apple of the eye of the King of Southern Xinjiang and the fourth prince who is his direct descendant are both the proud sons of the emperor." Zhao Qing said slowly, "What's more, the fourth prince is a talented man, a romantic and handsome man, there is nothing better."
Qin Zhen took a deep breath, walked to Zhao Qing and stood still, her eyes falling on the two people walking side by side not far away: "Brother, do you really think so?"
Zhao Qing pursed his lips and did not answer for a while.
Qin Zhen said in a deep voice: "It's true that the fourth prince is a direct descendant, but he already has a concubine. When the young princess marries her, does she want to be the fourth prince's concubine?"
Zhao Qing frowned and said: "With her status, she will naturally be on an equal footing with the Fourth Imperial Concubine after she gets married."
"Even so, the fourth prince will not really love her." Qin Zhen said slowly, "There are more important things in the heart of the fourth prince. The little princess may be a useful person to her.
Tools, apart from that, don’t have any superfluous emotions.”
Zhao Qing: "...so what, this is what she wants."
Zhao Qing's words were somewhat filled with anger.
Qin Zhen took a deep breath and said word by word: "What if this is not what she wants?"
Zhao Qing instantly turned to look at Qin Zhen, gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"Before she came to Southern Xinjiang, her father once told her that in this world, only a true emperor can be worthy of her, and he selected two most suitable candidates for her." Qin Zhen looked at Zhao Qing,
Ask, "Do you understand?"
Zhao Qing looked at Qin Zhen in astonishment and didn't say anything for a long time.
"The candidate that the King of Southern Xinjiang originally favored was Ayan, but Ayan did things so badly that she couldn't see any hope. She knew that it was impossible to realize her father's expectations in Ayan.
, so she turned her attention to the fourth prince Xiao Yao."
Qin Zhen smiled: "The King of Southern Xinjiang's plan was so loud that I could hear it even from such a distance."
"The little princess is a chess piece that the King of Nanjiang has raised in his hands since childhood. He has not taught the little princess how to love, and the little princess does not know what love is. She is like a blank child, innocent and cruel."
Zhao Qing raised his hand and wiped his face. After a while, he murmured: "What do you want from me?"
Zhao Qing looked at Hu Yafei from a distance and said, "Who am I? Can I still be compared with her father? I, Zhao Qing, still have some self-awareness and know what I am."
"In the past few days, I was confused, forgot what I was, and had wishful thinking. Now, I am awake and understand."
Qin Zhen frowned when she heard his self-contemptuous words.
After being silent for a while, Qin Zhen suddenly said: "Have you never thought that you are also very important in the heart of the little princess?"
Zhao Qing was stunned for a moment, his face a little confused.
"She just doesn't understand," Qin Zhen sighed and said, "If possible, would you like to teach her?"
Zhao Qing: "..."
Qin Zhen stood with him on the tower for a long time, until the two people on the palace road not far away were too far away to see clearly, Qin Zhen spoke again and said to Zhao Qing: "You will always be my brother, and we are a family.
So, no matter what decision you make, I will always be on your side unconditionally."
Qin Zhen raised her hand and patted Zhao Qing's shoulder, turned around and left the tower.
After leaving Zhao Qing, Qin Zhen did not rush into the palace, but instead went to the Qinzheng Palace.
Today's Qinzheng Hall is even more majestic than before.
At first, a fire burned most of Qinzheng Hall, but now Qinzheng Hall is reborn from the fire.
Qin Zhen took a deep breath and walked into Qinzheng Hall.
When Gao Cheng saw her, he smiled from ear to ear and said enthusiastically: "The princess hasn't been here for a long time, and your majesty still asks about her sometimes."
Qin Zhen smiled: "My father misses me, but why doesn't he summon me? Eunuch Gao said this, is he trying to make me happy?"
Gao Cheng quickly laughed and said he didn't dare.
The two of them entered the hall. Xiao Chengye was wrapping his head around the memorial. When he heard the footsteps, he said to Qin Zhen without raising his head: "Wait next to me. Let me finish my work for now."
Qin Zhen didn't say anything, and sat down on the chair next to her obediently, waiting for Xiao Chengye to finish reviewing the papers in his hand.
