After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

The room where Zhou Yichen lived was almost the same as Chu Xi's, except that there were a few more desks in the room, as if they were moved in specially. On them were the memorials that Zhou Yichen had asked the guards to bring in and had not yet finished reading.

The decoration in the house was simple, and they did not live in any of the luxuriously decorated areas of the house.

Especially the courtyard where the county magistrate lived, they had no intention of living there.

No matter how good the stuff inside is.

As a prince, Zhou Yichen has always had the best things since he was a child, and he has never used other people's things.

Although coming to Yunzhou was an experience and suffering was inevitable, the house where the county magistrate lived was not just a place to stay. The county magistrate lived in his own house until he fell ill.

If they lived in that courtyard, they would inevitably be infected with the source of the disease, so they chose a courtyard far away from the house where the county magistrate lived.

The county magistrate fell ill and infected most of his family members, so the entire family was sent to the dyeing workshop.

The place they lived in was equipped with the most rudimentary furniture, simple tables and wardrobes.

Zhou Yichen had used the best ones before, so it was acceptable for him to use this inferior one in Yunzhou. Chu Xi read a few of the memorials beside him, yawning as he read.

Last night, she slept at Yun Zishu's place. She didn't dare to sleep too soundly. She was too cautious to trust someone she didn't know well. In addition, she had traveled all night the night before...

She hadn't slept well for two nights and felt exhausted from having all her energy drained away.

Zhou Yichen couldn't help but laugh when he saw Chu Jiang yawning three times in a row. "Go to sleep. I think you won't be able to read what's written on the memorial if you're like this."

Chu Xi, who was being talked about, did not forcefully refute it.

She nodded towards Zhou Yichen, "Then Your Highness should also rest early."

Zhou Yichen waved his hand with a smile, and it was unclear whether he agreed or not.

Chu Xi turned around and looked around... Suddenly he realized that the room was too simple, there was no screen or anything, just a few desks, a wardrobe, and a bed...

This was not what she expected. The house she lived in was in the same yard as Zhou Yichen, and there was an extra couch.

There were more than ten candles lit in the room, but even so, the light in the room was still a little dim.

The windows of ancient buildings are tall and small, which results in less light entering the house and makes the house look like a cage.

She looked at the bed, which was fairly large and roughly about 1.5 meters in size, and turned to walk out.

"Where are you going?" Zhou Yichen saw Chu Jiang turning around and preparing to leave, and paused to look at Zhezi's movements.

"Your Highness, there is no couch in your room. I will go over and bring the one from my room."

Zhou Yichen was startled, then said loudly, "Zheng Hao, go to Qi Bai's room and move the couch over."

Zheng Hao is the follower who guards Zhou Yichen's door with a big knife on his back. He has followed Zhou Yichen for more than ten years.

Chu Xi heard Zheng Hao answer without thinking, "Yes, Your Highness."

Well, the footsteps had gone far away, and she had nothing to say, so she just waited here for someone to move the couch over.

"Qibai has nice hair." Zhou Yichen seldom saw Chu Jiang with his hair loose, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times and asked with a smile.

"...Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness." Chu Xi didn't know what to say.

As a man, she shouldn't care about her hair.

Fortunately, Zhou Yichen did not discuss this issue in depth. He just opened another folded paper and read it for a while, and then his face became gloomy.

Chu Xi was surprised, "Your Highness?"

"A letter came from the capital saying that the Ninth Princess sneaked out of the palace. My father was furious and sent people to look for her everywhere." Zhou Yichen sighed. It was really a headache for him to have such a thing happen at this critical moment.

Chu Xi was stunned. The Ninth Princess?

The main plot of the novel "Records of the Zhou Emperor" is about the struggle for the throne, but all the female characters are included in the novel, and the descriptions are different.

But there is one thing in common: in troubled times, women don’t seem to have a very good outcome.

The Ninth Princess is one of them. She is the daughter of the current emperor and the queen. As a legitimate princess, she is quite favored. However, she fell in love with someone she shouldn't love...

That is Chu Jiang. In the novel, Chu Xi has always been pessimistic about him because the author of the novel is a BL author and all the novels he has written are BL.

Now...she is even more pessimistic. After all, Chu Xi is very sure that she is straight, and the Ninth Princess is also straight.

"Your Highness, do you think the Ninth Princess is hiding in Rong Jinfeng's group?"

Zhou Yichen nodded, "Most likely."

Chu Xi didn't know what to say. If the Ninth Princess really came, that would not be good news.

"My sister, the emperor, has feelings for you so clearly that she sneaked out of the palace. If not to Yunzhou, where else could she go?"

Even in such a mess, Zhou Yichen still joked with her, "I think she is infatuated with you, too."

Chu Xi, "......"

You don't have to.

She can't afford it.

As he was speaking, Zheng Hao moved the couch over and carried it into the room by himself.

Chu Xi pointed to a place farther away from the bed and asked Zheng Hao to put it down.

Zheng Hao is a man of few words and is reliable. He just puts it where Chu Xi tells him to.

Zhou Yichen waited until Zheng Hao left, raised his eyes, stared at Chu Xi with his dark eyes, and suddenly asked, "Are you really not interested in Ninth Sister?"

Chu Xi thought that the two people's parts were exactly the same, and she was not at all what the Ninth Princess imagined, so there was no point in talking about likes or dislikes.

"Your Highness, please stop joking with me. I am not interested in anything else for the moment. Besides, my parents have the final say on marriage matters." Chu Xi pushed the blame onto Marquis Zhongyong and the others without thinking.

As she spoke, she lay down on the couch.

Anyway, they knew Chu Xi's identity and it was impossible for them to let "Chu Jiang" marry. Once it was exposed, the crime of deceiving the emperor would result in the execution of all nine generations of the clan.

Zhou Yichen's slender white fingers slowly stroked the letter. Hearing this, he didn't know whether he was satisfied or not.

Chu Xi suddenly thought of a question. The Ninth Princess has a brother, the Eighth Prince. Although their relationship is cold, they are brothers from the same mother after all.

The Eighth Prince is also one of Zhou Yichen's enemies on his road to succession, so from Zhou Yichen's point of view, what he hopes to hear is not his parents' decision, but that he is determined not to be a prince consort.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I have no interest in the prince consort, nor do I want to marry the princess." Chu Xi quickly expressed his loyalty.

Zhou Yichen seemed to have heard the hidden meaning of Chu Xi's words and chuckled, "You think too much. I just think it's a pity for Princess Shang given your ability."

It doesn’t matter whether Chu Xi believed it or not, he just said “hmm” anyway.

"You... take a rest. I need to look at the memorial for a while longer." Zhou Yichen heard his perfunctory tone, laughed and shook his head, then picked up the memorial and continued reading.

Chu Xi waited for this sentence and fell asleep after a while.

He is just a light sleeper and will be woken up by the slightest noise.
