Zhan Pianpian was wearing a goose-yellow dress, holding the hem of the skirt, turning around in front of Zhou Chen, and asked expectantly.
Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "No, the color is too plain and quiet, and it doesn't match your personality and aura."
"What do you mean, you mean I have a bad personality?"
Zhan Pianpian was very dissatisfied and asked, "It's just wearing clothes, why does it involve personality and aura? It's not so troublesome for her to wear clothes in the palace."
When she came to this clothing store, she had already changed six sets of clothes. It was troublesome for women in ancient times to change clothes. After changing these six sets of clothes, she was really tired.
"I'm the one buying clothes, why should I listen to you?"
"Just let me pay."
"you."
Zhan Pianpian's teeth were itching with anger, and she had reason to suspect that Zhou Chen did not let her take gold, silver, and jewelry with her when she left the palace on purpose.
"That red one, try it again."
Zhan Pianpian puffed her lips and glared at Zhou Chen angrily, but still obediently walked into the back room to change clothes.
After a while, Zhan Pianpian came out dressed in red, and Zhou Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.
"This is good, that's it. Wrap up the blue one as well."
Zhan Pianpian breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and asked, "Is this really good-looking?"
The shopkeeper on the side also praised with a smile on his face: "Madam, my husband has such a good sense. When you wear these clothes, it looks like..."
"We are not a couple."
Zhan Pianpian's eager explanation made the shopkeeper a little confused, but the businessman was thick-skinned enough.
"It's the villain's fault. He said the wrong thing. The two talented men and beautiful women are a perfect match."
The faces are full of flattering smiles. If they are not a couple, they are an unmarried couple. They are all the same.
Zhan Pianpian wanted to explain again: "We are not..."
"Okay, shopkeeper, let's settle the accounts."
Zhou Chen asked the shopkeeper's wife to wrap the clothes, and then pulled Zhan Pianpian out of the store.
Zhan Pianpian asked depressedly: "Why didn't you explain just now?"
"Explain what? Explain that it's okay with us? It's okay. I'll take you to buy clothes as a man?"
"Don't worry about what other people think. Anyway, we won't see you again. It will only add to your worries."
Zhan Pianpian felt that what Zhou Chen said was wrong, but couldn't find a reason to refute it. Seeing Zhou Chen walking in front carrying her clothes, she smiled sweetly and followed him in a small jump.
It's great that no one knows you. You don't have to remember the rules all the time when you sit, lie down or walk, and you have to pay attention to your image everywhere.
"Zhou Chen, where should we go next?"
"Sugar-coated haws."
Zhou Chen pointed to a vendor selling candied haws in front, bought two candied haws, and gave them all to Zhan Pianpian. Zhan Pianpian happily held one on her left hand and one on her right, as happy as a five-year-old child.
"What is that, Zhou Chen, look at that, is it a horse? Why are there two big lumps on its back?"
God, what two big lumps!
Zhou Chen looked in the direction of Zhan Pianpian's finger and almost laughed. Apart from both having four legs, camels and horses have nothing in common.
I mistook a camel for a horse and gave me two big lumps. Princess, are you going to laugh me to death?
"That's not a horse, that's a camel."
But he was also surprised, how could there be camels in the capital city?
Zhan Pianpian looked confused: "Camel? What is that? Is it a relative of the horse?"
This child is really hopeless. If she saw a deer, she would probably recognize it as a horse.
Along the way, Zhan Pianpian was like a child who didn't understand anything. Whenever he saw something interesting or something he had never seen before, he would ask Zhou Chen with interest. Only after getting Zhou Chen's permission would he
Go touch it and get it.
Zhou Chen turned into a parent taking care of his children, constantly explaining to Zhan Pianpian, and was often amused by her silly thinking.
Although Zhan Pianpian was a princess, she might have finally gone out. She was curious and happy about everything she saw. She followed Zhou Chen around for more than an hour without even saying a word about tiredness.
"hungry?"
"Not hungry."
Zhou Chen also felt that his question was in vain. Along the way, she never stopped talking. How could she be hungry?
But it was already noon, and the sun was shining brightly.
"You're not hungry. I am. Let's go to the restaurant and find a place to sit down and rest. After eating, I will take you to other places."
"Okay, okay."
Zhan Pianpian was very happy. In one morning, she had completely lost her guard against Zhou Chen and had a strong sense of trust. Without Zhou Chen by her side, she would definitely not dare to walk on the street alone.
Zhou Chen found a restaurant with a nice environment, sat down by the window on the second floor, and casually ordered seven or eight dishes.
Zhan Pianpian studied the grasshopper that Zhou Chen had just bought for her and found this little bug very interesting.
Zhou Chen glanced around, showing a half-smile expression, and then said to Zhan Pianpian: "Wait for me here, I'll go out to buy something."
Unexpectedly, Zhan Pianpian grabbed his clothes with a nervous look on his face.
"Where are you going? You can't leave me. I have no money."
Zhou Chen smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I brought you here. I will definitely take responsibility and won't abandon you."
Seeing that she was still worried, Zhou Chen took out a piece of silver and gave it to her.
"I'll be back soon."
"Then you have to hurry up. I'm a little scared and nervous alone." Zhan Pianpian looked uneasy.
Zhou Chen smiled comfortingly at her before turning and going downstairs.
Of course he didn't leave without reason. When he took Zhan Pianpian shopping, he had already noticed someone following them, but he never paid attention to it.
This is Shangjing City, the center of power in the Northern Qi Dynasty. The Jinyi Guards of the Northern Qi Dynasty are very powerful here. They may not know Zhou Chen, but Zhan Pianpian, the eldest princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, is still relatively conspicuous. After searching with all their strength, it is difficult to find them.
difficulty.
They were discovered, but no action was taken. It was obviously an order from above. It seemed that the letter of challenge he left behind had a deterrent effect, but it was still not enough.
In an open-air tea tent not far from the restaurant, two men in ordinary clothes are sitting and drinking tea. However, if you look closely, you will find that they are not talking and laughing like other guests. While drinking tea, they always look at each other.
One after another, they stared at the direction of the second floor of the restaurant.
Suddenly, a figure sat down in the empty seat next to them. Both of them looked over unconsciously, but in the next moment, their breathing froze.
"You two seem very surprised when you see me." Zhou Chen asked with a smile on his face and a soft tone.
??????????.??????
But the two people didn't dare to relax. They were the ones responsible for tracking, but they were found by the real owner. Apparently, this person discovered them.
"Don't be nervous, I know why you are following me. You are from the Jin Yiwei, right? Were you sent here by Chongzhong?"
The expressions of the two people suddenly changed, but before they could take any action, Zhou Chen's eyes suddenly widened, and they felt a terrifying aura coming over them. The true energy erupting from Zhou Chen's body made them unable to even move their fingers.
"I won't kill you, but you go back and tell Zhong Zhong that you can follow him, but it's best not to get closer than thirty feet, otherwise he won't be able to bear the anger of the Grand Master."
After saying this, Zhou Chen slowly stood up and walked to the small stall next to them under their gaze.
But even after Zhou Chen left, they were still unable to move, their whole bodies seemed to be stiff, and they couldn't move a finger.
The two of them were extremely horrified. They were both good players in the Jin Yiwei, with seventh-level strength. If they joined forces, even the eighth-level warriors would be able to fight.
But just one look from Zhou Chen made them sweat and unable to move. If the other party wanted to kill them, it would be easier than killing a chicken. It was really terrifying.
They were just following orders to find someone. Who would have thought that they would encounter such a terrifying existence.
It wasn't until Zhou Chen bought something unknown and returned to the second floor of the restaurant that they finally regained control of their bodies.
"Whirring whirring……"
The two of them gasped for air, like drowning people being rescued from the shore.
After resuming their actions, they looked at each other, then stood up and left at the same time without hesitation, preparing to go back and report.
Zhan Pianpian has been feeling uneasy since Zhou Chen left. It wasn't until Zhou Chen came back that she bloomed with a bright smile again.
"No, I bought it for you."
Zhou Chen placed the white embroidered cloth shoes he bought in front of Zhan Pianpian.
"I'll change to these shoes later. It will be more comfortable to walk."
Zhan Pianpian stared blankly at the embroidered shoes in her hand. As the eldest princess of Northern Qi, she lacked nothing. Even if she lacked something, someone would find it for her.
This was the first time someone gave her shoes, and it was a man. This made her feel very strange, as if something was growing in her heart.
"What, you don't like this style? Then I'll go get another pair?"
"No, no need to pay it back, I like it very much, thank you."
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Thank you. Since I brought you out, I will definitely take good care of you. It's just a pair of shoes."
For Zhan Pianpian, this is more than just a pair of shoes.
The food and wine were slowly being served, and Zhou Chen was indeed hungry, so he ate in big mouthfuls. Zhan Pianpian, who wasn't very hungry at first, saw that Zhou Chen was eating so deliciously, so he started eating in small bites.
Northern Qi Imperial City, Harem.
The Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty was summoning the commander of Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division. She was very heavy.
"You mean, is the person with the eldest princess a man, or a man who looks to be in his twenties?"
After listening to Shen Sheng's report, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi was very shocked. They had guessed that the person who took away Zhan Pianpian was a great master, but Shen Shen actually found out that it was a young man who looked like a young master. How could she not be surprised?
"Is he really a great master?"
As the most important minister in the Northern Qi Dynasty, Zhong Zhong was extremely powerful, but at this time, his face was full of solemnity and solemnity.
"Reporting back to the Queen Mother, he said so himself. My people have come into contact with him. Two seventh-grade masters, in front of him, could not move with just one look. Even the ninth-grade masters can't do it. .”
"Is the Grand Master that young? And aren't there only four Grand Masters in the world? What about you, do you think he is a Grand Master?"
"I'm not sure. After all, I haven't seen him take action with my own eyes, but the word 'war' on that letter is really scary. Queen Mother, how about I have someone try him again?"
The Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty didn't look good. There was no news from Haitang Duoduo about the sudden appearance of a suspected great master, so she was still under a lot of pressure.
"How to try? Didn't you say that he had someone warn you? What if he is really a great master?"
In fact, the heavy heart was even more confused than the Queen Mother. After all, he was also a martial arts practitioner and had seen the abilities of the grand master Ku He. Suddenly a grand master who looked to be in his twenties suddenly appeared. His first reaction was also disbelief.
It was just two seventh-grade subordinates who impressed Zhou Chen to great effect. Coupled with the letter, this was no longer like a normal martial artist's method. Even a ninth-grade peak person might not be able to do it, right?
"You can try, but you can't use people from Jinyiwei. There are many masters in the capital who have not joined the imperial court. I can ask people to spend a lot of money to ask them to do it. As long as we don't do it ourselves, it doesn't count as a quarrel, even if he really does. He is the great master, and we also have Master Ku He here."
The Queen Mother of Northern Qi pondered for a moment: "If you think it's okay, then try it."
Of course she also wants to know if Zhou Chen is the Grand Master. If not, then everything will be easier. If it is true, they will have to find a way to deal with it.
Ku He was the reason why their mother and daughter were able to secure the throne in the first place, so she was well aware of the terror of the Grand Master. Even she, the lofty Queen Mother, did not want to offend a Grand Master unless she had to.
The little emperor Zhan Doudou soon learned about the situation. In fact, she did not agree with the heavy approach. Haitang Duoduo had already brought the war letter to Ku He. As long as Ku He read it, he would definitely know whether the other party was the Grand Master. It won't take long at all. It's better not to test him or her. Who knows what the other person's temper is like.
However, she learned that the other party was only in his twenties, and she was very curious. Is there really such a young grandmaster in the world?
After Zhou Chen had dinner with Zhan Pianpian in the restaurant, he rested for a while before coming out of the restaurant.
He took Zhan Pianpian to walk around the inner city for a while, and then went to the outer city, where he saw and visited many places.
When going back, Zhou Chen asked Zhan Pianpian: "When do you want to go back to the palace, I will take you back."
When Zhan Pianpian heard this, she suddenly looked nervous: "Are we going back now? Can't we play for a few more days? I left a letter to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, saying that I would go back after a few days. If I go back today, it will be difficult to explain. .”
Zhou Chen's eyes were astonished. He didn't expect Zhan Pianpian, who was as naive as a little white rabbit, to actually have such a side. This was to kill him first and then show him off.
"If you don't go back, aren't you afraid that it will damage your reputation?"
"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will not make any noise."
Zhan Pianpian looked pitiful: "I finally left the palace once, can you let me play outside for a few more days?"
Zhou Chen thought for a while and said: "In this case, you can't stay in an inn like me. I will take you to a place that should make you feel at ease."
"Where to go?"
"The residence of Zhuang Mohan, the great literary master."
