Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 525 Congrats
Since the last battle in Stone City, Nan Zhen hasn't heard from Mrs. Ghost for a long time.

At that time, many people from the Red Ghost League flocked into the stone city to seize the Mingyue Token. Afterwards, the news was proved to be false, and those people who moved their minds naturally withdrew.

Mrs. Ghost also left at that time, but——

"What did she go to Yunzhou for? Is it just to grab the territory from us?"

Chu Li tilted his head, "It looks like this at the moment. I had someone follow her for a few days, and found that she was still injured, and now she is doing some chores."

Nan Zhen nodded, indicating that she understood.

The two walked for a while, and the intersection in front of them was the main street. The number of pedestrians increased, and the street became lively.

Chu Li glanced at Nan Zhen, nodded and walked away from her.

One headed east, one headed north.

Chu Li had just returned to the capital, and there were still many things to deal with, so he walked through the alley to Mingyue Pavilion.Nan Zhen didn't go to the street for a while, she was very curious about the new things in the market, so she simply walked into the Zuixian restaurant.

Strangely, the storyteller was not around today, and the restaurant was full of diners, and after a few glasses of wine, the conversation started.

Most of the talk is about the Northwest War.

Once the war starts, it is not only the duty of the soldiers, but also concerns everyone on the land.

Lord Liang assembled a large number of soldiers and horses this time, and the attack is menacing. If Baixiong Pass is broken, the subsequent Hanshan Pass and Yegu Pass will be in jeopardy.

At that time, the situation will be difficult to control.

The court also knew the importance of guarding the Baixiong Pass, and within a month, they sent two armies to reinforce it.There are also wise men among the people who help those around them understand the situation.

They all hoped that King Chen would lead an army to guard the gate of the country, and it would be best if he could turn around and catch the opponent by surprise, so that they would be afraid and dare not attack again.

Nan Zhen listened for a while, she had a few glasses of wine, and just after ordering the waiter to serve some dishes, she saw Yu Guang's white brocade clothes appear, followed by a clear and elegant voice, "Big sister."

Looking up, Qin Yong's smiling face was in front of him, with soft eyes and proper manners.

"It's you," Nan Zhen pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit down."

"Thank you."

After waiting for the person to be seated, Nan Zhen poured the wine for him in person, pushed it to him and asked, "Why are you here?"

Nan Zhen didn't believe it was such a coincidence.

Qin Yong knew that he couldn't hide it from her, so he didn't lie, and said truthfully, "I was passing by here, and I saw big sister here by chance through the window, so I came up."

Nan Zhen glanced out the window, smiled and said nothing.

She is indeed used to sitting by the window, where she can not only watch the street view, but also know the situation in the restaurant.

But this glance made her see a familiar figure, "That child...Zhuang Miaomiao?"

Across the street, a mother and son were setting up a stall on the steps. An umbrella was placed in front of Zhuang Miaomiao, and the woman's bamboo basket contained homemade pastries.

There are so many umbrellas and cakes in the capital, there are three or four in this street alone, but Zhuang Miaomiao was stunned to attract some ladies and wives to buy them because of her sweet and cute mouth and cuteness.

The stall business is not booming, but at least it seems to be profitable.

Qin Yong followed her gaze and nodded, "As long as the farming is slack, the mother and son will come here to set up a stall. The cakes made by the aunt are delicious, and I have bought them twice."

Nan Zhen looked at it intently, "There are still half of the cakes, business is not so good today?"

"It's normal. After all, rich people like those exquisitely packaged pastries. Although this kind of pastry tastes good, not many people buy it."

While talking, Xiaoer had already brought up the dishes, and the two of them were eating the dishes, chatting one after another.

When the dishes on the table were half empty, Qin Yongcai took out a delicate wooden box from his sleeve and placed it in front of Nan Zhen.

There are vertical and horizontal lines on the box, and a statue of Avalokitesvara is carefully carved, with a kind face, looking at the person who picked up the box with a compassionate gesture.

Nan Zhen was a little surprised, raised her eyebrows slightly, and didn't rush to answer, she just asked, "What is this?"

"Big sister, have you heard of Guanyin Temple?" Qin Yong asked.

"The Guanyin Temple in Xiuning County?"

Qin Yong nodded, and opened the box, "This Guanyin Temple is said to have a history of 500 years, and it is extremely effective. When I was traveling, I passed Xiuning County, and I went up the mountain to ask for such a jade Guanyin."

"It is said that you should not make a wish in front of the gods, but I told the master that I was asking to give it away. I didn't have any specific expectations. I just hoped for auspiciousness and peace, so he gave me this."

Nan Zhen lowered her head and looked at the Jade Guanyin in the box, feeling a little dazed, "I can't accept such a valuable thing. You are traveling and need this blessing even more, so you should keep it yourself."

The most important thing is that you don't get paid for nothing.

The relationship between her and Qin Yong is not one in which she can accept gifts from the other party without repaying them with peace of mind.

Qin Yong could roughly guess what was going on in her heart, and explained, "Don't feel burdened, big sister, this is a birthday present."

"Ok?"

Nan Zhen was stunned for a moment, apparently she didn't expect that anyone in the Qin family would remember Qin Yimiao's birthday.

"Although it's a few days late, my heart hasn't diminished by half. Big sister should accept it."

Without being summoned, he cannot enter the palace. Only when he meets Nan Zhen on the street can he find an opportunity to give this Jade Guanyin to her.

As early as half a month ago, he went out every day, wandering around places where Nan Zhen often appeared, hoping to catch a coincidence, and he didn't see anyone until today.

But he wouldn't say these words to Nan Zhen.

Qin Yong's eyes were clear and sincere, instead of forcing her, Nan Zhen felt ashamed for refusing.

"Then thank you very much. I will return the gift after your birthday."

Qin Yong smiled and raised his glass to signal.

Nan Zhen saluted slightly, turned her head, and saw that there were still half of the cakes in the mother's and child's basket across the street, and the pedestrians around were gradually decreasing, so she called Xiaoer and gave some instructions in a low voice.

Xiao Er soon appeared across the street, spoke briefly to the mother and son, and saw Zhuang Miaomiao wrapping the pastry in oiled paper neatly, and followed him into the Zuixian Restaurant.

"Girl, everything you ordered has been done."

Nan Zhen casually threw a piece of silver to Xiao Er, looked at Zhuang Miaomiao, "We meet again."

"Big sister, big brother!"

Zhuang Miaomiao didn't expect it to be them, and said while putting the oiled paper bag on the table, "I haven't seen you for a long time."

Nan Zhen smiled and said, "I have something to do, so I have less time to play."

She looked at the person in front of her, and suddenly asked, "You seem to have grown taller, and your eyebrows and eyes have opened up a bit."

"That's right, my dad said I'm an upright man!"

Zhuang Miaomiao patted his chest, and before he finished spitting, he was slapped on the head, "Did the man forget to say thank you?"

Looking back, the woman had already carried the bamboo basket on her back and went up to the second floor to thank the two.
