Xiao Yao was recovering from his injuries in bed and felt at peace for a while.
During this period, the most relaxed person was Hu Yafei. Without Xiao Yao to force her, she temporarily lived a carefree life with Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing's injury healed before Xiao Yao did. As soon as the injury healed, it was inconvenient for Zhao Qing to live in the palace and returned to the palace.
However, Qin Hong didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't arrange a position for Zhao Qing for the time being, so he just let him idle in the palace. Later, when Hu Yafei returned to the palace, Qin Hong simply sent Zhao Qing to the palace where Hu Yafei lived, asking him to
Take personal care of Hu Yafei.
When Zhao Qing heard the news, he hesitated a little and shouted softly: "Master, isn't this bad?"
Privately, he is still more accustomed to calling Qin Hong the boss just like he was in Longhu Mountain.
Qin Hong glanced at him: "What's wrong with this?"
Zhao Qing lowered his head and said softly: "I...are not suitable."
Hu Yafei has always been a small princess in southern Xinjiang and a noble person, not something that bandits like him can get involved with.
There are already rumors about the two of them outside. If I go to Hu Yafei's side again, how can people outside spread the word about Hu Yafei? By then, Hu Yafei's reputation will be completely ruined.
Qin Hong stared at Zhao Qing, with a look of hatred on his face: "You, do you have the nerve to say that you are a bandit from Longhu Mountain? You have been a forbidden soldier for several years and you have forgotten your duty?"
Zhao Qing: "...ah?"
"Ah what?" Qin Hong said angrily, "Don't you like that little princess? Since you like it, then go and snatch it back."
Zhao Qing: "... snatch it, snatch it back?"
"Why, I really forgot that I am a bandit," Qin Hong squinted at him, "As a bandit, you can rob whatever you like. I think the little princess has no affection for you, so I might as well rob him and use it as your pressure.
Mrs. Zhai, isn’t she beautiful?”
Zhao Qing: "..."
It's beautiful, but is it too much?
Not to mention that he is no longer a bandit, even if he is still a bandit, he would not dare to attack the little princess in southern Xinjiang.
Qin Hong saw his timid look and asked him: "Don't you like her?"
Zhao Qing pursed her lips and told the truth: "I like it."
"That's right, since you like it, go and snatch it back. I'll ask you to take care of him. Get it as soon as possible."
"...but I'm not worthy of her." Zhao Qing sighed, with a helpless tone, "With my status, how can I be worthy of her? She is the treasure that the King of Southern Xinjiang grew up in, and she is aloof.
Princess, I, I have nothing."
Qin Hong stared at him for a while, then touched his chin: "That's right."
Zhao Qing's eyes suddenly widened: "Master?"
Although he felt that he had nothing in his heart, he still felt heartbroken when Qin Hong said this.
Qin Hong looked at him for a moment and asked: "Then you would rather she marry Xiao Yao? You also know what kind of virtue the fourth prince is. Do you think he will treat the little princess well?"
Zhao Qing: "...No."
Xiao Yao is simply using Hu Yafei, and he has no sincerity towards Hu Yafei at all.
"That's right," Qin Hong patted Zhao Qing on the shoulder and said, "Rather than letting her get married and watching her suffer, it's better to protect people in the palm of your hand. Didn't you say that she was pampered and grew up?
Then you should treat her well and pamper her from now on."
"Your status is indeed low, but it's not a big deal." Qin Hong waved his hand and said, "When you get married to the little princess, you can go and beg your brother-in-law to open it for you.
I’ll give you a backdoor and let you go to southern Xinjiang to gain some experience. With your ability, it’s easy to earn military honors. By then, you will be worthy of the little princess.”
Zhao Qing looked at Qin Hong in astonishment: "You mean the prince?"
"Yes, that's my good son-in-law." Qin Hong smiled, "Family members should help each other."
Zhao Qing: "..."
Qin Hong looked at him: "In a word, do you want it, little princess? If you want, go. If not, I won't arrange for you to go there."
Zhao Qing was silent for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "I want it."
He wanted it, he wanted it from the first time he saw Hu Yafei.
During these days, Hu Yafei accompanied him to recover from his injuries. They got along day and night, and their relationship became deeper and deeper day by day. Zhao Qing wanted him more and more.
Although there were still many worries in his heart, at this moment, Zhao Qing decided to give it all and didn't care about anything. He wanted to fight for himself.
There was a smile in Qin Hong's eyes, and he stretched out his hand to pat Zhao Qing and said, "Don't worry, you don't have nothing, you still have your family. Just do whatever you want to do, whether it's me or Zhen Zhen, you will always be
Your back."
It was rare for Qin Hong to say such sensational words. Without waiting for Zhao Qing to react, he slapped Zhao Qing on the back of the head and said loudly: "If you can't get the little princess back, don't come back. We are here in Longhu Mountain."
I can’t afford to lose this man."
The little emotion that Zhao Qing had just felt was wiped out by Qin Hong's slap, and he was a little dumbfounded: "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely bring my wife back."
Qin Hong patted his head, turned around and left.
Zhao Qing stood there for a while, and finally went back to the house to change into clean clothes, and then went to Hu Yafei's residence with some anxiety.
Hu Yafei's residence, the outer courtyard is occupied by the imperial guards, and the inner courtyard is occupied by the confidants Hu Yafei brought from southern Xinjiang.
To show Xiao Chengye's respect for Southern Xinjiang, the imperial guards were usually only on the outside, never entering the inner courtyard, and never interfering with the freedom of the Southern Xinjiang princess.
Therefore, after Zhao Qing arrived, he did not see Hu Yafei immediately.
He was blocked from the inner courtyard door by the guards Hu Yafei brought from southern Xinjiang.
"This is the private area of the princess, and the imperial guards are not allowed to enter." The man from southern Xinjiang was fierce and looked at Zhao Qing coldly, "The imperial guards are in the outer courtyard. This is the rule."
Zhao Qing was silent for a moment and said, "I want to see the princess, please let me know."
The man sneered: "Who are you, and you are qualified to see the princess?"
Zhao Qing: "..."
See, this is the difference between them.
If Hu Yafei hadn't taken the initiative to approach him, he wouldn't have even been able to see Hu Yafei's face if it had been his wishful thinking.
Zhao Qing didn't want to conflict with Hu Yafei's people and couldn't see anyone, so he had to settle down in the outer courtyard for the time being, and like the other Forbidden Army, he rotated his duties every day.
It wasn't until three days later that Hu Yafei accidentally discovered Zhao Qing in the Forbidden Army.
Hu Yafei's eyes widened in shock. He rushed to Zhao Qing in a few steps and asked in surprise: "Brother Zhao Qing, why are you here?"
In the palace, she was not as careless as in the palace. She was afraid of bringing disaster to Zhao Qing, so she did not dare to go to him.
Today, she really couldn't help but miss Zhao Qing and wanted to see Zhao Qing from a distance. However, she never thought that as soon as she left the yard, she would find the person she missed right in front of her.
