When Chu Zhao returned to Chaoyun Palace, Aao and Yun Qi had not left yet. They were sitting side by side with Tie Zhui on the corridor, basking in the sun and waiting for her to come back.

Tie Chui disliked Ah Ao and shamelessly sat next to Ah Ao.

Princess Huai'an trusted Tie Hammer and sat quietly beside Tie Hammer.

Hong Xiao liked children and sat next to Princess Huai'an with a smile.

Qing Yu loves to cling to Hong Hao, holding her hand and sitting next to her.

Zi Luo said that she couldn't sleep well in the past two days, and was pestering Yun Qi to check her pulse.

Although Aao had a straight face, he did not avoid Tie Hammer like before. When Tie Hammer asked him anything, he would nod or hum as an answer.

The autumn sun was not very bright, but it fell lightly on a few people, making this lonely palace feel warm.

When Chu Zhao walked in and saw this scene, he somehow remembered the time when he was basking in the sun in the Qionghua Courtyard, and his mood instantly relaxed. The previous intrigues and quarrels all faded away at this moment, leaving only the peaceful days in the courtyard.

"You are at ease. I am working hard in front, but you are here basking in the sun." Chu Zhao complained as he walked, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

When several people saw her coming back, they all called "Princess", got up and rushed to greet her.

Princess Huai'an also ran over and called "sister" with her little face raised.

Chu Zhao agreed with a smile, took her little hand and walked back.

"As soon as the princess comes, this slave will fall out of favor." Qingyu said with a pout.

Chu Zhaoqu flicked her forehead with his finger: "It's time for you to say we're kissing each other, and you're still competing with children for favors. If you have this free time, you should think about what kind of husband you want to marry!"

Qingyu suddenly blushed with embarrassment and said coquettishly: "What good is a man? I don't want to get married. I want the princess to pamper me."

Chu Zhao laughed and said to the others: "Write down what she said and read it in front of the groom on the day she gets married."

"Okay." Zi Luo volunteered, "Leave this to me, I have a good memory."

"You dare!" Qingyu blushed and pinched her mouth, and the two ran away laughing.

Tie Zhui was very disdainful: "What's so shameful about getting married? Look at me, I just like A'ao and I never hide it."

"..." Ah Ao lowered his face, walked around to the other side, and steered the conversation in a more serious direction, "Did the princess go to the morning court just now? Did they let you in? How will the prince be welcomed tomorrow?"

Everyone stopped laughing when they heard him ask about serious matters.

Chu Zhao also became serious and solemnly said: "Go in and talk, I happen to have something for you to do."

Entering the palace, Qingyu and Ziluo guarded the door, while Hongxiao went to make tea. Chu Zhao sat on the square couch with Princess Huai'an in his arms, and told Iron Hammer Ao Yunqi that he had settled with the Ge Lao faction in Chengtian Palace. The detailed process of the rational struggle.

She spoke calmly, but several people felt excited when they heard it. They just wished they had not witnessed the princess's valiant and heroic appearance as she talked against all the scholars.

Princess Huai'an raised her little face in Chu Zhao's arms and looked at her with great admiration. Her big black eyes were brighter than ever.

Chu Zhao observed her reaction with his peripheral vision and calmly gave orders to A'ao and Yun Qi.

"Your Majesty has promised that officials from various ministries will be outside the South City Gate to welcome the prince to the capital tomorrow morning. When you return, immediately inform General Xiao and ask him to spread the news as quickly as possible. The important point is that Princess Jingnan will also appear tomorrow. , inciting everyone to go see Princess Jingnan together."

"Why is this?" Yun Qi asked puzzledly, "A large number of people can easily cause riots, which may be detrimental to the safety of the princess."

"No, those adults care more about their lives than me. They will definitely take safety precautions, not to mention that Feng Guanlan's Jinyu Guards will accompany them."

Chu Zhao took the tea handed to him by the red ribbon, took a sip and said, "I have been in Beijing for a few days, and the people have not seen me yet. I just took this opportunity to become familiar with each other, and also to build publicity for the prince." , remember to ask General Xiao to hire more people to praise the prince and me. When the whole capital knows that the prince and I are great heroes and meritorious officials who prayed for the people, it will not be so easy for the court to touch us."

"I see, I understand." Yun Qi suddenly realized.

Chu Zhao looked at Aao: "What about you, do you understand?"

The princess is good at using public opinion. This is not the first time Ao has seen this, so he naturally understands better than Yun Qi that he is concerned about another thing.

"I understand the princess's decision, but I don't understand why the princess trusts Eunuch Feng so much?"

"It doesn't count as trust. At least so far, we are just using each other." Chu Zhao said, "Don't worry, as long as he thinks I am useful to him, he will not ignore me."

Aao nodded.

It was impossible for him to completely trust Feng Guanlan, but he was willing to trust the princess's judgment.

The princess has always had a very accurate eye for people, at least so far she has not made any mistakes.

"Do you want to talk to Taoist Master Chengfeng and ask their people to help build momentum?" Aao asked.

Chu Zhao thought for a while and said: "Senior brother knows some strange people. If he can help, it will be twice the result with half the effort, but he must be careful not to let those knights reveal their identities, let alone let anyone know that they are related to Sanqing Temple." Connected."

"Okay, I understand." A'ao said, "My subordinates cannot accompany me to protect the princess tomorrow. The princess herself needs to be more careful."

"You can't, I can!" Tie Zhui said, patting his chest, "You call me sister, and I will protect the princess for you tomorrow."

"..." A'ao put on a straight face and clasped his fists at Chu Zhao, "If there is nothing else, I will leave."

Chu Zhao was overjoyed, waving his hands and saying: "Go, go, you should be more careful yourselves."

A'ao responded, pulling Yun Qi and striding away.

"He's shy." Princess Huai'an giggled and said to Tie Hui, "Sister, you are so bad."

Tie Zhui's eyes lit up: "Princess, are you sure he is shy? Does being shy mean that he cares about me?"

This question was beyond Princess Huai'an's cognitive scope. She blinked, shook her little head and said blankly: "I don't know, you are so big, can his heart be relaxed?"

"..." Tie Hammer's face dropped, his expression was very hurt.

However, Chu Zhao couldn't help laughing, and almost stopped laughing.

"Ignore you, I'll go ask Hong Xiao." Tie Zhui walked out angrily.

Princess Huai'an still looked confused: "Sister Princess, did I say the wrong thing?"

"No, we Huai'an are very good at talking!" Chu Zhao smiled and rubbed her little head.

"But I think Sister Wangfei is the most talkative." Princess Huai'an said with bright eyes, "No one dares to offend Mr. He Ge in the court. Sister Wangfei can render him speechless. It's really amazing." incredible."

"Then do you want to be as powerful as your sister?" Chu Zhao asked her.

Princess Huai'an hesitated and shook her head slightly: "I can't do it, I'm afraid."

"Then you plan to hide from others and be bullied by others all your life?" Chu Zhao said, "Don't you want to become strong, trample those who bully you under your feet, and avenge your mother and concubine?"

Princess Huai'an was stunned and looked at her: "I want to, but I can't do it."

"If you can't do it now, you can do it one day." Chu Zhao said, "As long as you want, I can help you."

Her tone was firm and her eyes were firm. Under her guidance, the confusion and hesitation on Princess Huai'an's face gradually faded away. She stood up and knelt down in front of her. She mustered up the courage to say: "I want to become strong. Please help me, Sister Princess." .”

The little person was kneeling on the ground, with a thin body but a straight back, and a childish but powerful voice. Chu Zhao looked at her and seemed to see himself in a trance when he was young.

"Good boy, get up!" She bent down to help the little girl up, holding her still immature shoulders with both hands. "Since you trust me, I will definitely live up to your trust."
