Looking at the eldest princess of Northern Qi, Zhan Pianpian, whose eyes were full of curiosity, her cute look made Zhou Chen smile from the bottom of his heart.
"You have a hundred thousand whys and so many questions? Are you not afraid that I am a bad person?"
Zhan Pianpian was startled for a moment, and then saw that Zhou Chen didn't make any move. He breathed a sigh of relief and became emboldened.
"Don't be afraid. I am the princess of the Daqi royal family. I should be fearless and fearless in the face of danger."
After saying that, her tone weakened again, and she said cautiously: "If you are a bad person, I can't resist you. Anyone who dares to break into the palace and assassinate you must be particularly powerful."
"Knowing faces."
Zhou Chen gave her a thumbs up: "But you guessed wrong. I'm not here for assassination. As you just said, I'm lost."
Zhan Pianpian frowned and hummed: "Do you think I'm easy to deceive? How can you get lost and get lost in the palace without being discovered? Although I don't think you are a bad person, you are definitely not a good person either.
Good people will not break into the palace."
"Yes, you guessed it right. I am indeed not a good person. Are you afraid now?"
"Afraid, no, not afraid. I, a member of the Da Qi royal family, have nothing to fear from anyone or anything."
If her voice doesn't tremble and her body doesn't shake when she says this, maybe she can still have two or three points of credibility.
Zhou Chen didn't take it seriously and changed the subject: "I just heard you say that you want to go outside the palace to see. You are a princess. You have grown up so big that you haven't even been out of the palace, right?"
"Who says I haven't been out before? I've been out twice."
As long as she could remember, she had indeed been outside the palace, but she had not taken the initiative to go out twice, and she was not allowed to move freely. She could not even remember the memory clearly.
Looking at Zhan Pianpian, who was trying his best to argue in front of him, Zhou Chen sighed softly: "Everyone knows that princesses enjoy the greatest wealth in the world, and this is indeed the case, but sometimes the status of princess is also a constraint, which makes people have no freedom.
Just like a puppet; but even so, if you can really choose between being a commoner and a princess, out of a hundred people, one hundred people will choose to be a princess."
Zhan Pianpian was attracted by Zhou Chen's words. After hearing the end, she couldn't help but ask: "Why? If I could choose, I would definitely choose..."
With a snap, she covered her mouth. How could a princess of the Daqi royal family say such irresponsible words?
"Because for ordinary people, living is already the most difficult thing in the world. Freedom has no effect on them at all. If they live with freedom and wealth, of course they will choose a life of wealth."
Zhou Chen came to Qi State all the way from Qing State and saw too many tragic things. The lives of ordinary people were really like fire and water.
I don’t know how many people dream of living a life like Zhan Pianpian’s.
What Zhou Chen said was sad, but Zhan Pianpian had never experienced that kind of life, so it was difficult to empathize with her. She was just a kind-hearted person, but she was also a little uncomfortable when Zhou Chen said it.
He just felt it and returned to normal in the next moment, smiling and asking Zhan Pianpian.
"If I say, I can take you outside the palace, do you want to see it?"
Zhan Pianpian stared at Zhou Chen with a vigilant face: "What do you want to do? Let me tell you, the Daqi royal family will not be threatened by others. Just, even if you catch me, it will be useless. I am just a can."
A useless princess, no one will take me seriously."
"You're quite vigilant. As you said, it's useless to catch you. Why should I expend so much effort to catch you? Isn't it a waste of effort?"
"It seems so, no, no, no, I'm still somewhat useful. How could it be useless for a princess from the Daqi royal family?"
Both agreeing and denying it made Zhou Chen find it even more funny.
"Just tell me directly, do you want to go outside the palace to have a look and have some fun?"
"Not going."
"Outside the palace, there are very sweet and sour candied haws, beautiful and edible little sugar figures, delicious and refreshing osmanthus cake, particularly delicious candied fruits, and sweet and sour plum soup..."
Whenever Zhou Chen talked about a snack, Zhan Pianpian's eyes brightened a little, and in the end he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, looking like a greedy cat.
When Zhou Chen finished speaking, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and the snacks Zhou Chen mentioned were still echoing in her mind.
After making a lot of determination, she controlled herself not to think about it and said firmly: "How could the Daqi royal family be tempted by mere vulgar things? I won't go."
Zhou Chen continued calmly: "I heard that there are circus acrobatic performances, shadow puppet shows, and various animals in Shangjing City recently. There are also many stalls selling gadgets on the streets. There are all kinds of beautiful things in the shops.
Clothes and fabrics, rouge and gouache..."
Zhan Pianpian clenched her hands with an expectant and longing expression, and frowned tightly, looking very troubled.
I really want to see it!
Zhou Chen was still undecided, so he continued to narrate, for example, which restaurant had good storytellers, some restaurants also had drinking competitions, outings for men and women, in short, he talked about countless interesting and interesting things, which made Zhan Pianpian's heart pounding.
.
After a long while, she asked cautiously: "Is it really as fun outside as you say?"
Zhou Chen said: "Of course, the palace is good, but it is too solemn and solemn, and there are too many rules. It is different outside the palace. You are free, you can do whatever you want, eat whatever you want, you don't have to think about any rules, no need
Whether you can do whatever you want to do or not, it’s all about living your life happily.”
"Is this really the case?"
Zhan Pianpian was completely moved, but the pride and rules of the Daqi royal family pulled her like the threads of a kite, making her dare not break away from the control and fly wherever she wanted.
"Why are you telling me this? Are you really not lying to me?"
"Does it benefit me to lie to you? You see, I can enter and leave the palace at will. If I really want to do something, no one else will notice. I just see you as a very interesting princess, so I just want to help you satisfy a little
Just wish.”
This is not a lie, he is indeed on a whim. Of course, it is also because there is something about Zhan Pianpian that attracts him. He is not Santa Claus and can help everyone realize their wishes.
Zhan Pianpian was very confused. She couldn't wait to see what Zhou Chen said, but was this man who suddenly appeared really credible?
After a brief contact, this person did not infringe on her in any way, and his words were as gentle as jade. At least she did not find him annoying.
"What do you want to do when you come to the palace?"
"Send a letter to your little emperor."
"Aren't you Qi Ren?"
Zhan Pianpian keenly discovered the problem in Zhou Chen's tone.
"Yes, I am not from Qi."
"Then you are from Nanqing?"
"Why do you have so many questions? If you don't want to go outside the palace, I can leave now."
"Don't……"
Seeing Zhou Chen getting up to leave, Zhan Pianpian ignored his manners and stepped forward to grab Zhou Chen's clothes.
"I want to go outside the palace, please take me there."
Zhou Chen asked with a half-smile, "Why aren't you scared now?"
Zhan Pianpian replied sheepishly: "I'm not stupid. If you had really bad intentions, you wouldn't talk so much nonsense to me."
Zhou Chen said angrily: "You also know that what you just said is nonsense, but if you really want to go outside the palace with me, you have to think carefully. Once you leave with me, I will have bad intentions."
, you are making the sky inoperable and the earth and the earth unable to respond."
Zhan Pianpian's face was obviously tense, but she looked at Zhou Chen and finally said firmly: "I'm not afraid, go."
"This time I don't put your Da Qi royal family first."
Zhou Chen just teased her for a moment, then straightened his face: "It's not good to leave so suddenly. You have to leave a letter."
"Yes, yes, I have to tell the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, otherwise they will definitely be worried if I suddenly disappear. If things get serious, it will not be good for you or me."
Zhan Pianpian let go of Zhou Chen's clothes, ran to the table in the hall, and began to study ink and write a letter, and he finished it in a short while.
"You can go now. By the way, do you want me to bring something with me, such as gold, silver, jewelry, clothes, jewelry, etc.? Although I haven't been out much, I know it will be inconvenient to have no money."
Seeing that Zhan Pianpian was talking as if she was actually going on an outing, Zhou Chen didn't know how to describe this silly princess.
"No, the things in the palace are too conspicuous. You can buy everything outside. Take off all the conspicuous jewelry pendants on your body. Are you ready? When you are, I am going to take you out of the palace."
Hearing this, Zhan Pianpian's face flushed with excitement, and her tone was full of expectation.
"Okay, okay, hurry up, run away quickly, by the way, it's daytime now, won't you be discovered if you take me with you?"
"If I can get in, I can get out. As long as you keep silent later, you will soon see everything you expect. Now, close your eyes."
Zhan Pianpian closed her eyes obediently. The next moment, she felt her body being hugged by someone. The intimate contact made her heart beat wildly, but she still resisted opening her eyes.
Seeing her nervous look, Zhou Chen smiled slightly, and then a letter appeared in his hand. He flicked it to the table and placed it under the letter Zhan Pianpian had just written.
