The world of film and television begins from childhood

Cheng Xi did not dare to disobey Zhou Chen's order. Instead, Hong Xiaoyu and others happily told Shi Yi that they would take good care of her.

In the end, Cheng Xi could only watch his girl leave the palace reluctantly, while Li Shiyi was particularly happy. She completely ignored Cheng Xi's sad face and even waved at her before leaving, leaving Cheng Xi with tears in her eyes.

In the past, when going to the military camp, they would ride directly on horseback, but this time, in order to take care of Shiyi, Zhou Chen specially arranged a carriage, and Zhou Chen accompanied Shiyi in the carriage.

On the way, Shiyi wanted to lift the curtain and look outside several times, but because Zhou Chen was there, she didn't dare to do so.

"Look if you want."

It was only when Zhou Chen spoke that she showed joy. She carefully lifted the curtain and looked at the street outside.

As an ancient capital, Xizhou is not as prosperous as Zhongzhou City, but it is not much different. It has the Nanchen Palace and can be said to be the safest city in the west. Therefore, the streets are bustling with people, and the current situation is also very interesting to watch.

Zhou Chen looked at the excited Shi Yi and said softly, "If you like, I'll take you to visit the downtown area of ​​Xizhou later."

Shi Yi let down the curtain, looked at Zhou Chen expectantly, and made a "OK" gesture with her hand.

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Of course, I told you, the palace is different from your family, there are not so many rules. If you want, I will personally take you to visit Xizhou City. The night view of Xizhou is actually quite beautiful."

Shiyi nodded repeatedly, looking impatient.

Seeing her cute appearance, Zhou Chen smiled and wanted to reach out and touch her head, but then he realized that this was ancient times, so he controlled himself in time.

"I'll take you to meet Wang Jun today."

When Zhou Chen brought Shiyi to the military camp, Wang Jun was training. When the soldiers saw Zhou Chen and others, they worked harder and more seriously.

Shiyi followed Zhou Chen closely, not daring to move away. Zhou Chen deliberately slowed down his pace to let her look around.

After a tour, all the soldiers in the barracks already knew Shiyi and knew that she was the eleventh disciple of their commander, King Xiao Nanchen.

After staying in the military camp for half a day, Shiyi Li also met his brother Feng Li, and the two exchanged greetings again.

"It seems that His Highness is really good to you and brought you to the military camp personally. In this case, my brother will be completely relieved."

Li Feng saw that Zhou Chen was very good to his sister. He was a little worried at first, but now he is not worried at all. Instead, he told Shi Yi to learn more from the master, to be filial to the master, etc.

The well-behaved Xi Shiyi naturally obeyed her brother. It was not until the afternoon that she reluctantly said goodbye to Xi Feng and returned to the palace with Zhou Chen and others.

Today I went to the military camp outside the city and walked a long way. After returning to the palace, I felt very tired and went back to my room early to rest.

On this day, Zhou Chen taught the zither, and Shi Yi chose the ancient zither Changfeng, which was also the zither that the young King Nanchen often used in the past.

"Ding…………"

After Shi Yi finished discussing a piece of music, Zhou Chen commented: "Not bad, an improvement over last time, but there are still some areas that need attention..."

Zhou Chen teaches and Shi Yi learns, and the class goes by very quickly.

After the class, Zhou Chen said to Shi Yi, "It will be New Year's Eve in a few days. In Xizhou City, the curfew will be relaxed during the Spring Festival. Xizhou City will be very lively at night. Do you want to go out for a walk then?"

'May I? ’

Xi Shiyi looked expectant.

"Of course, I always keep my word. On New Year's Eve, I will take you around the city."

There is a curfew during this period. Even though there is the Nanchen King's Army in Xizhou City, the curfew is still very strict. The curfew usually starts from the first watch and ends at the fifth watch, which is roughly around eight or nine in the evening to four or five in the morning. During special holidays, it may be slightly delayed.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed and it was the Spring Festival, the most important traditional Chinese festival. New Year's Eve is the day before the Spring Festival. According to the rules, everyone needs to stay up all night on this day, and the Nanchen Palace is no exception.

On New Year's Eve, everyone in the palace gathered together, had a meal together, and prepared to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.

I have been in the Nanchen Palace for many years, but the number of times we have stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year in the palace is really very few. Most of the time, we stayed up all night in the military camp. It is very rare for us to gather together like today.

"Master..."

Hong Xiaoyu, as the eldest disciple, took the lead in toasting Zhou Chen and wishing him a happy new year. The other disciples followed closely behind, saying nice things with festive faces.

Zhou Chen also smiled and drank with them. In this ancient feudal society with strict hierarchy and numerous rules, such an atmosphere as that in the Nanchen Palace was really rare.

Everyone was very happy today, even the military advisor Xie Chong, who drank a little too much and was a little tipsy, but continued to clink glasses with others.

Normally everyone has military duties to attend to and rarely gets together to drink so freely, so today everyone was very happy and drank to their heart's content, and soon everyone was the drunkest.

Zhou Chen saw that the time was almost up, so he stood up and said, "I'll go to the library first and come back later."

Naturally, no one would have any objections.

Not long after Zhou Chen left, Shiyi also found an excuse to leave and went straight to the library.

"Come on, put on your clothes and I'll take you out."

Shiyi picked up the brocade cloak that had been prepared long ago, put it on tightly, then raised her little face and looked at Zhou Chen expectantly.

Zhou Chen smiled slightly and handed her a white veiled hat: "Take this."

After Xi Shiyi put on her hat, Zhou Chen took her out of the palace through the back door. He was the owner of the palace, so naturally he could go out whenever he wanted.

Not long after they left, someone ran to Xie Chong to report. After hearing it, Xie Chong smiled slightly and didn't pay any attention. He had seen all the little actions of Zhou Chen and Xi Shiyi at the previous banquet.

"It's rare that His Highness is so elegant, let them have some fun."

Zhou Chen and Xi Shiyi walked out of the palace. Xi Shiyi was very excited and asked Zhou Chen.

'Master, where are we going?'

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Today I will take you to the Kitchen City Gate. There is a Royal Kitchen Street there. It is very lively. Many royal chefs lived there in the past. It gathers rare treasures from all over the world. I will take you to taste them tonight."

'Yeah.'

Shiyi nodded happily. Although she was not a foodie, she was still very much looking forward to it after hearing what Zhou Chen said.

"Let's go."

Zhou Chen led the way, and the two of them walked towards the kitchen city gate.

Today is New Year's Eve. It is already dark, but the streets are still brightly lit and bustling with pedestrians and children everywhere.

When you come to the Imperial Kitchen Street in front of the Kitchen City, it is even more lively. Both sides of the road are lined with small stalls selling food, toys, lanterns, etc. It is really dazzling to see everything.

Chapter 1325 Cultivation, Birthday Gift

On New Year's Eve, Zhou Chen accompanied Shi Yi for a stroll on the Imperial Kitchen Street, and he bought a lot of delicious food for Shi Yi.

Although Shi Yi is a noble lady of the Yi family, she is not arrogant or domineering at all, nor does she dislike these roadside snacks. When she sees something she likes and wants to eat, as long as Zhou Chen buys it for her, she will eat it up in small bites like a little mouse, chirping.

In the end, I ate a lot and even walked slowly.

Today's Xizhou curfew time is the second watch, which is around ten o'clock. Zhou Chen and Shi Yi strolled in the street for more than an hour. After seeing the vendors and pedestrians slowly dispersed, they slowly went to the palace.

On the way back, Shi Yi was very happy, her steps became lighter, and there was a bit more intimacy in her eyes when she looked at Zhou Chen.

In the past when he was in the palace, Zhou Chen usually behaved in a dignified and solemn manner, but when he was teaching her, he would be very gentle and patient. However, this was the first time that he was so doting on her like today, so she was very happy.

Shi Yi suddenly pulled Zhou Chen's clothes gently, and when Zhou Chen looked over, she made a few gestures.

'Master, thank you.'

Zhou Chen didn't control himself this time and patted her head gently: "As long as you are happy."

Shi Yi nodded vigorously, indicating that she was very happy, very happy.

"Go back, everyone is waiting for us to stay up together. This is your first Spring Festival in Xizhou. If we stay up together, the next year will definitely be better."

Zhou Chen and Shi Yi returned to the palace. The ten disciples, Xie Chong, and Xie Chong's adopted son Xie Chen were still in the hall, though some of them were already staggering.

Zhou Chen's appearance made everyone perk up again. Of course, there was no countdown like in modern times in this era, but there were night watchmen. With the arrival of the third watch, it meant the beginning of a new year.

The period after the New Year was a rare time of leisure. There were no major rebellions or battles within Northern Chen, so there was naturally no need for the Southern Chen royal army to be dispatched.

The people in Nanchen Palace are also enjoying such a rare peaceful time. Although they are best at fighting, it does not mean that they like fighting. Fighting is not as comfortable as staying in the palace and living an ordinary life.

It has been two months since Zhou Chen came to this world. He had already cultivated the internal strength of Yangzhou Man. Because he had good talent and had practiced Yangzhou Man more than once, he improved quickly after practicing it again.

Of course, this is compared to other worlds, but in fact, compared to the real low-level martial arts world, his cultivation speed is still relatively slow.

However, there is no such thing as internal force in this world. He can cultivate internal force, and coupled with his own physical fitness, it is no exaggeration to say that his current combat power is definitely at the top of this world. Especially Yangzhou Man’s internal force is a great help to him, which greatly improves his combat effectiveness.

Due to the teaching schedule, there are not classes every day. Zhou Chen usually attends for two days and rests for one day. This day happened to be his rest time, so Zhou Chen did not leave his yard and practiced hard in his bedroom.

Shi Yi is a studious person. Although she didn't have to attend class today, she still came to Zhou Chen's study. She first cleaned the study herself, and then picked up the books that Zhou Chen usually read and began to read them carefully.

Just when she was reading seriously, there was suddenly a burst of laughter outside the study, and then someone walked into the study. The voice was heard before the person arrived.

"You kid refused to come with me to Pingqin County for a gathering. You must have hidden a beautiful, beautiful, person in your mansion?"

Prince Pingqin walked in, joking as he entered the study room. However, when he saw that the person sitting there was not Prince Nanchen but a girl, he was stunned and looked at Shi Yi with a confused face.

Shi Yi also turned her head and looked at King Ping Qin with curiosity. He was able to come in without any notice. She guessed that he must be her master's friend, so she quickly stood up, walked to King Ping Qin and saluted.

When King Ping Qin saw this, he followed suit and immediately returned the greeting, then asked with a teasing look on his face.

"Are you Zhou Shengchen's little princess?"

Shi Yi was frightened to death. She waved her hands in panic, but she couldn't say a word. King Ping Qin was a rough man and didn't understand what she meant by shaking her hands. He thought she was asking him to keep a low voice.

So he said with a look of understanding: "I understand, I understand, I know what you mean, I know it when you wave your hand."

Shiyi thought that King Ping Qin really understood what she meant and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but who knew that King Ping Qin spoke again.

"I know Zhou Shengchen can't marry you openly. You said that boy is the same. He has to swear an oath. It's very troublesome."

Then he turned around and ordered the two men who followed him with a serious look: "You two, don't tell anyone what you saw today. Do you hear me?"

"Yes."

With a turn, King Ping Qin smiled again, changing his expression very quickly. He asked Shi Yi with a smile.

"Should I call you sister-in-law? Yes, I should call you sister-in-law. How do you call you in the palace?"

Shi Yi was so anxious that she kept waving her hands, trying to explain, but she couldn't open her mouth. King Ping Qin didn't understand sign language, and she was so anxious that sweat broke out.

She gestured for King Ping Qin to go outside and ask, but King Ping Qin thought she was going to drive him away, which made him very depressed. He kept explaining that he was a rough man and had not read many books, and asked her not to mind if there was anything rude about him.

As he was talking, he actually apologized, but Shiyi Shiyi didn't dare to accept it. He quickly returned the gift, and the two of them started to bow to each other.

When Zhou Chen walked over, he happened to see this scene and was speechless.

He heard from his subordinates that Prince Ping Qin had brought his men to the palace. Thinking of the misunderstanding in the plot, he rushed over as soon as possible, but he was still a step late.

One is a rough guy who can't read the expressions and can say anything, and the other can't speak, so it's normal for misunderstandings to occur.

The two people who were greeting each other also saw Zhou Chen, and King Ping Qin immediately stood up.

"Okay, Zhou Shengchen, you are really good. You secretly hid a little princess in the mansion..."

Looking at Shiyi who was so anxious that he just waved his hands, Zhou Chen smiled slightly and interrupted King Ping Qin's words.

"She is my apprentice."

"apprentice?"

King Ping Qin suddenly widened his eyes, looked at Zhou Chen, then looked at Jin Shiyi, who was very embarrassed.

King Ping Qin reacted and asked Zhou Chen in surprise: "Did the Yi people bring her here?"

Seeing Zhou Chen nod, he apologized: "I didn't know. I'm sorry, sister-in-law."

The casual call of "brother-in-law" startled Shiyi again, and he looked at Zhou Chen cautiously.

Zhou Chen was also speechless. He knew that King Ping Qin did not do it on purpose. He was just that kind of person.

"Eleven, go down first. I want to talk to my brother."

Shi Yi bowed and left the study.

"Brother, I'm so sorry. I didn't know this was the case. But why didn't your disciple Miss Li explain this to me? It made me so embarrassed."

"Eleven has aphasia and can't speak."

"what?"

King Ping Qin's face suddenly changed. He remembered that Shiyi was very anxious just now, but did not speak and could only make gestures. Then he understood the reason.

"Is that so? Oh, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. But it's also true. This little girl looks pretty and quiet, how could she have aphasia?"

King Ping of Qin was a genuine commoner. He was brave and martial, but he had no ideas at all. Yet he always wanted to find a princess who was cultured and well-educated.

Over the years, he had looked for many daughters from aristocratic families, but no family was willing to marry them to him. Or, those who were willing to marry him, he looked down upon them. As a result, he was a few years older than Zhou Chen, but still had no princess.

"Brother, how come you have time to come to Xizhou today?"

"Brother, I am not here alone this time. I have brought a lot of people with me. They..."
