Reborn Princess

After hearing what Zhou Cechen said, Zhou Hengyan wanted to throw the tea bowl in his hand away, but unexpectedly it was held by a hand.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Cao Shuyi looked at Zhou Hengyan and said.

Zhou Hengyan suppressed his anger and said, "You two keep trying to piss me off. Sooner or later, I will be pissed off to death by you."

"What do you have to report this time?" Zhou Hengyan looked at Zhou Cechen and said.

"There have been unusual movements of troops in Western Xinjiang in recent days."

Upon hearing this, Cao Shuyi stood up immediately and said, "Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. I will take my leave first."

Zhou Hengyan pressed her down: "Listen, no need to move."

"I'm afraid Zhou Chao can't wait any longer."

"Then fight!" Zhou Hengyan said.

"I will immediately send troops to the Western Frontier."

"If the two armies meet, there will be a battle, and we need a brave and skilled fighter to go."

Zhou Hengyan frowned: "Now that all the generals have not returned to the capital, who do you think should be sent?"

"As soon as Yang Shilang of the Yang family returned to the capital, he was appointed a general by the emperor."

Zhou Hengyan and Zhou Cechen looked at each other and said, "Are you relieved that he's going?"

"General Yang is brave and good at fighting. He is the first choice."

"Okay, I will send an order for him to go."

After Zhou Cechen took his leave, he walked out of the palace along the red wall, but was stopped by Zhou Hengyan who had rushed over.

"stop."

Zhou Cechen turned around with some surprise: "My royal brother is not accompanying my royal sister-in-law?"

Zhou Hengyan asked, "How are you and Shen these days?"

Zhou Cechen frowned: "Brother, this is my family affair."

Zhou Hengyan asked again: "How did your relationship become better?"

Zhou Cechen looked at Zhou Hengyan with a stern face: "Brother, were you driven out by the Empress's wife?"

Zhou Hengyan asked seriously: "How could it be?"

Zhou Cechen: "Why are you asking these questions, brother?"

"I care about my people, how are they?"

Zhou Cechen didn't say anything else when he saw this. He said, "In a relationship between two people, the heart is the most important."

Zhou Hengyan looked at him and said, "How could I not understand this?"

"So what does the Emperor's sister-in-law dislike and care about?"

"She cares..." Zhou Hengyan suddenly looked at Zhou Cechen, "When did I say it was me and your sister-in-law?"

Zhou Cechen nodded and said goodbye to Zhou Hengyan: "I feel guilty for making random guesses, so I'm leaving."

"Oh, you!" Zhou Hengyan felt helpless looking at Zhou Cechen's back.

What does Yaoguang care about? Zhou Hengyan thought to himself.

……

After Zhou Cechen returned home, he brought papaya omelette and candied kumquats for Shen Xilan.

Shen Xuanlan was practicing calligraphy in Xiao Lanxuan's study when he heard Lu Nong's voice: "The prince is here."

Shen Lilan put down the pen in his hand, looked towards the door, and saw Zhou Cechen coming in carrying two bags.

"The prince is back." Shen Lilan went to greet him.

Zhou Cechen nodded: "It's all done."

"I didn't ask the prince how the matter was going." Shen Lilan said.

"Then the princess is concerned about the king?"

Shen Yanlan smiled lightly: "I guess so."

Zhou Cechen handed the cake in his hand to Shen Lilan: "I brought this on the way back. Want to try it?"

Shen Lilan took the snack from his hand and said, "How did the prince know that I like these?"

In Shen Lilan's memory, Zhou Cechen always knew all her preferences.

"I see you always have these in your room."

Speaking of this, Shen Lilan seemed to have thought of something, and she pulled Zhou Cechen out of the study: "Prince, I have something for you."

Shen Lilan pulled Zhou Cechen out of the study and into her bedroom.

It was the first time for the servants to see such a scene.

There was a basket on the table in the bedroom, filled with things that Shen Xilan used for needlework.

Shen Lilan took out a purse from the basket and handed it to Zhou Cechen: "Your Majesty."

Zhou Cechen took the small purse and held it in his hand. He was a little surprised and also very pleasantly surprised.

"Is this... for me?" Zhou Cechen looked at Shen Lilan and asked.

Shen Lilan nodded: "Does the prince like it?"

Looking at the purse in her hand, which was embroidered with twin hibiscus flowers.

"Lan'er has such deft hands." Zhou Cechen said while holding Shen Lilan's hand.

Shen Yanlan said: "Your Majesty, please open your purse and take a look."

Zhou Cechen opened the purse and found two words embroidered inside.

"Fu, Jin"

"My nickname comes from the hibiscus flower, and both your and my names have the character Jin, so I embroidered it."

Zhou Cechen stroked the pattern on the purse and said, "Hang Fu Fu up for me, okay?"

Shen Xilan was naturally happy, and she hung the purse on Zhou Cechen's waist belt.

From the first time he met Zhou Cechen, Shen Xilan felt that his waist was empty. Other men would wear jade pendants and sachets as decorations, but he never did.

Even in her previous life, she had sewed it for Zhou Cechen after she married him, but unfortunately she had never given it away.

Shen Lilan lowered her head, tied her purse and stood up, but unexpectedly Zhou Cechen was also lowering his head, and Shen Lilan's head hit Zhou Cechen's chin.

"Is there something wrong?" Zhou Cechen gently stroked Shen Lilan's forehead, which turned red.

Shen Lilan saw Zhou Cechen asking him with a worried look on his face, so he laughed.

"Does it hurt?" Zhou Cechen saw that her forehead was red from the collision, but Shen Lilan didn't seem to feel any pain.

Shen Lilan nodded, and Zhou Cechen was about to coax her, but unexpectedly Shen Lilan stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the chin.

"It doesn't hurt now." Shen Lilan said.

Zhou Cechen rolled her Adam's apple, her voice hoarse: "Fu Fu, you haven't had sex for more than half a month..."

Shen Lilan immediately reached out and covered Zhou Cechen's mouth: "Your Majesty."

Zhou Cechen's eyes darkened and she pulled Shen Lilan's hand down.

"Fu Fu, why are you blushing? I just want to say that the princess hasn't taught me for half a month."

Shen Xilan frowned. Ever since she followed Zhou Cechen to learn calligraphy, Zhou Cechen said that the most important thing in writing is persistence, so he assigned her the task of writing a lyric or poem every day.

But she is only halfway done now.

"That's clearly not what Your Highness wanted to say just now..." Shen Lilan's ears turned red.

Zhou Cechen lowered his eyes and looked at the person in front of him: "Then Princess, please tell me, what did I want to say just now?"

Shen Lilan looked at Zhou Cechen in disbelief: "Your Majesty is teasing me?"

Zhou Cechen said: "How could that be? Since the princess can't tell, then just hand over the calligraphy you practiced to me obediently."

Shen Xilan was too embarrassed to speak out loud as he thought about the half-finished word.

Zhou Cechen walked out upon seeing this, "Since the princess is unwilling to hand it over, then I will have to go and see how my first student is doing in person."

Shen Lilan immediately grabbed Zhou Cechen and said, "Teacher, can you comfort your students for two days?"

Shen Lilan also made a very vivid gesture of “two”.

Zhou Cechen paused when he heard Shen Lilan's words. He looked at Shen Lilan with deep eyes, "What did you call me just now?"

Shen Xilan looked at the expression on Zhou Cechen's face. As expected, Fu Zhen was right. This trick really worked for Zhou Cechen.
