Zhou Chen asked: "You guys, are you still going to fight?"
"Do not hit."
"beat."
It was Ku He who said not to hit him, and it was Wu Zhu who said to hit him.
In order for Wu Zhu to hold back the Grand Master for Fan Xian, he naturally had to fight with Ku He. However, Ku He really didn't want to fight with Wu Zhu. He couldn't win, and he didn't want to lose either. The situation was in a stalemate, and he felt very uncomfortable. The appearance of Zhou Chen just broke the deadlock.
Ku He looked helpless. If Zhou Chen was not around, he wouldn't mind continuing to fight with Wu Zhu.
But now Zhou Chen is right beside him, and he has to be on guard. Naturally, he doesn't want to fight with Wu Zhu again, and he doesn't want to give Zhou Chen a chance.
"Don't worry, I won't leave here. You can watch me here."
Ku He also knew why Wu Zhu came to fight him, and he was not prepared to go and kill Sean himself.
"As long as you don't leave here, I won't fight with you."
When he spoke, Wuzhu's entire face, except for his mouth, did not move at all, and no expression could be seen.
Zhou Chen stared at Wu Zhu with great curiosity. If he didn't know that Wu Zhu was a biochemical robot, he really wouldn't have been able to discover Wu Zhu's identity if they had met for the first time.
Because the robot Wuzhu is really no different from ordinary people and can be completely indistinguishable from the real thing.
"Hey, this isn't good. I came here to watch you fight. If you don't fight, I'll just be watching for nothing."
Seeing that Ku He and Wu Zhu were silent, Zhou Chen felt very bored. One of them was a robot, and the other was a so-called unity of man and nature. He felt that he could not have a conversation with them.
"It seems that my appearance has disrupted your rhythm. In that case, I'll leave now."
Since he couldn't see any good show, he didn't want to stay here any longer. Wouldn't it be better for him to go to the capital city to have a heart-to-heart talk with his eldest princess?
Just leave.
Ku He was very surprised to see Zhou Chen just left like that, and then turned to look at Wu Zhu.
"Wuzhu, look..."
The answer he got was an iron spike. Wu Zhu didn't waste any time talking to him. As soon as Zhou Chen left, he attacked again. Ku He was so angry that he could only fight back.
Zhou Chen had not walked far when he heard the noise behind him again. His expression was quite strange, and he had an urge to turn back and watch the fight, but he held himself back.
It's no wonder that as long as he goes back, the two of them will stop.
The brief moment of watching the fight just now had allowed him to see clearly Wuzhu's fighting style. Wuzhu, who had no true qi, relied on his physical advantages to fight the enemy with speed, body movements and skills. The robot's strength had completely surpassed the limits of humans, and it also had the endurance to withstand blows, otherwise it would not have been able to withstand the true qi attack of the grandmaster.
With a leap, Zhou Chen landed accurately on Tornado's horse's back and patted Tornado's mane.
"Let's go to the capital."
This was his second time going to the capital. The last time he went there mainly for a fight, but this time he went there to propose a marriage.
When Zhou Chen rode on the whirlwind and came to Shangjing City, he was discovered by the Jinyiwei of Northern Qi. However, the Jinyiwei, who knew Zhou Chen's identity, did not dare to approach him. They just stared at him from a distance and reported to their superiors immediately.
Northern Qi Imperial Palace!
Zhan Pianpian sat bored in the palace, holding a book in his hand, his eyes fixed on the words on the book, but his eyes were lifeless, as if he was in a trance.
It has been a while since she returned to Shangjing City with the diplomatic corps. She waits for Zhou Chen to come to her every day. She prefers to be with Zhou Chen rather than staying in this solemn and restricted palace.
Being with Zhou Chen, even if she does nothing every day, she will feel happy as long as she can see Zhou Chen.
"Zhou Chen, when will you come to see me?"
Zhan Pianpian recovered from her trance state. She was completely unable to read the book and muttered something quietly.
"Since you miss me so much, I'm here now."
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in her ears. Zhan Pianpian wanted to stand up reflexively, but she had been sitting for too long and her legs were numb. She just stood up and before she could make any other moves, she gasped and was about to fall down.
But she did not fall, but fell into a warm embrace. The panic on her face flashed away, and then she grabbed Zhou Chen's arm, her face full of joy.
"Hey, Zhou Chen, when did you come?"
Zhou Chen supported her and said with a smile: "I came here because I heard someone say they missed me."
Zhan Pianpian blinked her big eyes and said coquettishly: "Hateful, you only know how to laugh at me. But why did you sneak into the palace again? Tell His Majesty, and His Majesty will let you come."
Zhou Chen said, "That would be too troublesome and a waste of time. I wanted to see you when I came to Shangjing City, but I can't wait that long."
This sudden love talk made Zhan Pianpian's face even redder. When she was with Zhou Chen, her so-called reputation of the Great Qi royal family had long been lost.
Suddenly, there was a question from a palace maid outside. Zhan Pianpian responded casually, asking them not to come in, and continued talking to Zhou Chen.
After a while, the numbness in her legs went away, and she sat with Zhou Chen, her face full of happy smiles.
"You, when are you going to go to the Queen Mother..."
Zhou Chen teased her deliberately and asked in confusion: "Why are you going to your mother's place?"
"Of course, of course..."
Of course, he didn't have the courage to say it out loud several times. When he saw Zhou Chen's mischievous smile, he slapped Zhou Chen angrily.
Zhou Chen grabbed her hand and said softly, "I will go ahead. The betrothal gifts and other things have been arranged in the delegation. When the Qing Kingdom's delegation arrives in Shangjing City and takes those things back, I will go to your mother to propose marriage."
Zhan Pianpian was immediately overjoyed, but also more embarrassed.
"Then, what if, what if my mother doesn't agree?"
Zhou Chen pretended to be fierce: "Don't agree? If she dares to disagree, then beat her until she agrees."
"Hate it, stop talking nonsense."
Zhan Pianpian rolled her eyes coquettishly, then said with a smile: "My mother will definitely agree. His Majesty told me before that he agrees with you and me. As long as you come to propose marriage, it will definitely be successful."
Although she and Zhan Doudou are biological sisters, due to Zhan Doudou's special status, the relationship between the two sisters is not very deep. It was only after Zhou Chen appeared last year that the two of them began to communicate more.
After all, she grew up in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace. Although she had never participated in any competition for favor, she was not completely scheming. In fact, she understood why the emperor and the empress dowager, with whom she had an average relationship before, changed their attitude towards her a lot this year. It was all because of Zhou Chen.
But she didn't care and didn't think too much about it. Instead, she felt that it was a good thing that the emperor and the empress dowager did not object to her and Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen smiled and tapped her forehead, then said confidently, "Of course, I will marry you. The Emperor and Queen Mother of Qi are both sensible people, so they will naturally agree."
In comparison, the young emperor and empress dowager of Northern Qi were much more sensible than Emperor Qing.
No, that cannot be said. One can only say that these two are far less domineering and overbearing than Emperor Qing. They live in different environments. Although they both have the same endurance, the endurance of these two women is different from that of Emperor Qing.
Emperor Qing's control over the Qing court is not comparable to that of the young emperor and queen mother of Northern Qi.
If Emperor Qing wanted to control and subdue Zhou Chen, then the young emperor and the queen mother of Northern Qi wanted to win over and please Zhou Chen. One wanted to be his subordinate, and the other wanted win-win cooperation, so their attitudes were naturally different.
Zhou Chen chatted with Zhan Pianpian for a long time until the young emperor of Northern Qi sent someone over.
"You want to see me? Sure."
When Zhou Chen heard the eunuch's report, he was not surprised. He said something to Zhan Pianpian and left with the young eunuch.
In a garden in the imperial palace, Zhou Chen met the young Northern Qi emperor Zhan Doudou again. Zhan Doudou was holding a book and reading it seriously.
"It's been a long time since we last met. Your Majesty has grown up a lot."
Since there were no other outsiders around, Zhou Chen spoke more casually.
Zhan Doudou glared at Zhou Chen with dissatisfaction. She knew that Zhou Chen knew her identity and was teasing her on purpose. She had never seen such a presumptuous person since she became emperor.
"Master Zhou has grown a lot. He is now the Duke of Nanqing. However, I heard that he does not hold any official position in the court of Nanqing. Is he unwilling to be an official, or is he feared by the Emperor of Nanqing?"
"All of them."
Zhou Chen glanced at the book in Zhan Doudou's hand and asked, "Is this from Mr. Zhuang?"
Zhan Doudou raised the book in his hand and said with a smile, "Yes, Mr. Zhuang showed me this book after he came back from Nanqing. He said that this book was written by you. He also told me that you don't care about fame, so he asked me not to spread it. But I am very curious. If such a meaningful book is spread, it will definitely make you famous, and your reputation will be no less than Mr. Zhuang's. Why don't you care?"
After reading the Analects of Confucius in its entirety, she became more aware of the value of this book, as well as another book, The Great Learning. Both are classics among classics, and the people who wrote these two books must be great literary figures.
Zhou Chen was speechless. Zhuang Mohan kept his promise, but he attributed the two books to him. Fortunately, only the little emperor knew about it and it was not spread out. Otherwise, he and Fan Xian would have to meet each other as fellow villagers, with tears in their eyes.
"Because these two books were not written by me. Of course, I don't think you would believe it, so let's not talk about this topic."
He no longer needed to improve his reputation through plagiarism. At the same time, he also understood that no matter how much he explained, Zhan Doudou would not believe him.
Zhan Doudou really didn't believe it. Although she also thought it was incredible that Zhou Chen could write these two books, she believed that Mr. Zhuang would not lie to her.
Since Zhou Chen didn't want to talk, she wouldn't keep nagging him.
"You came to Northern Qi this time to propose marriage to my sister?"
"Yes."
"I knew this day would come."
After confirming this, Zhan Doudou smiled happily. Zhou Chen's proposal to marry the imperial sister proved that she was not wrong about Zhou Chen.
"But you come here to ask for marriage, yet you barge into the palace like this, with empty hands?"
"I broke into the palace because it didn't waste time. Besides, I've not only broken into your Qi palace, I've also entered Qing's palace as well."
"I believe you. You have no respect for the imperial power at all."
Zhan Doudou has become accustomed to Zhou Chen's attitude. Others may think that Zhou Chen has no reverence for imperial power because he has become a grandmaster and has power.
But after spending some time with Zhou Chen, she realized that this was not the main reason, but that Zhou Chen did not respect the imperial power at all. Even if he was not a grandmaster, he did not respect it either.
Zhou Chen didn't respond, and continued, "On my way to Northern Qi, I went to do other things, so I naturally couldn't bring anything with me. My marriage proposal gift was left with the envoys."
"That's it."
Zhan Doudou was relieved to know that Zhou Chen did not come empty-handed. She was really afraid that Zhou Chen would come to propose marriage empty-handed. Wouldn't that be too embarrassing for their Da Qi royal family?
"Since the Nanqing delegation has not arrived yet, you don't have to rush to propose marriage. If you have nothing to do, can you have dinner with me today? I have something I want to ask you."
"Can't I ask now? I still have to go find Pian Pian."
Zhan Doudou's face suddenly became very dissatisfied, and he snorted coldly, "Mr. Zhou, although my mother and I have no objection to your relationship with my sister, shouldn't you also consider my sister more? After all, you haven't been engaged yet, let alone married. If you are always so close, it will not be good for my sister's reputation if it gets out."
Zhou Chen straightened his face. He didn't care much about his reputation, but since he wanted to marry Zhan Pianpian, he naturally had to consider her more.
"Okay, I agree with your Majesty's proposal."
Zhan Doudou then revealed a satisfied smile. Although Zhou Chen's words were sometimes irritating, she still liked talking to Zhou Chen because Zhou Chen knew her background and was not in awe of her. She didn't need to act in front of Zhou Chen and would feel relaxed no matter what she did.
"I have already asked the Imperial Kitchen to prepare it. If you want anything, you can tell me and I will ask the Imperial Kitchen to prepare it."
"I'm not picky about food, I only have one request, serve it hot."
be sick!!!
Chapter 1462 Goodbye Si Lili, the Little Emperor's Plan to Get Rid of His Father and Keep His Son
Inside the palace, one palace maid after another brought hot and delicious dishes and placed them on the dining table.
Zhou Chen and Zhan Doudou sat on both sides respectively.
"As requested by the young master, all are hot."
Zhou Chen looked at the untouched dishes and asked Zhan Doudou, "Why don't you let someone test the poison first?"
Zhan Doudou said with a smile: "With a Grandmaster by my side, who can poison me here? As for the young master poisoning me, that is even more nonsense. The young master is a Grandmaster. If he wants to kill me, no one in the entire palace can stop him. Why would he resort to poisoning?"
Zhou Chen smiled. He would certainly not poison Zhan Doudou. He was just playing a joke on Zhan Doudou.
"I feel that it might not be enough for you and me alone, so I called someone else and she will be here soon."
Not long after Zhan Doudou finished speaking, a graceful, beautiful, dignified, and charming woman in palace dress walked into the hall.
"Si Lili."
Zhan Doudou introduced her to Zhou Chen with a smile: "She is now my Imperial Consort. You should be familiar with her. I heard that you and Lili knew each other well when you were in Nanqing. There were many rumors about your love affair along the Liujing River."
Zhou Chen felt very awkward listening to Zhan Doudou's words. You are talking so excitedly about the romantic affair between me and your imperial concubine. Oh, you are the empress, then there is no problem.
Si Lili bowed to Zhou Chen leisurely and said, "Master Zhou, it was your help that allowed me to return to Da Qi."
When she looked at Zhou Chen, her eyes sparkled. The reason she was able to escape from Nanqing was because Zhou Chen helped her, and he also asked the Thirty-Six Constellations to escort her all the way back to Beiqi. She has always kept this favor in her heart.
Zhou Chen said calmly: "It's been so long, there's no need to mention it anymore. Seeing that you're doing well now, I'm relieved."
Zhan Doudou said at this time: "Lili, please sit down first. I will give you some time later so that you can have a good chat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Si Lili also sat down at the table, but her eyes were always secretly looking at Zhou Chen.
Her current identity is the imperial concubine, but her relationship with Zhan Doudou is special. The identity of the imperial concubine is just to cover up Zhan Doudou's identity as the empress. Naturally, nothing will happen between the two women. There is only one person in her heart.
