and son

Pei Jing circled around, and it was quite lively here, but she was worried and said, "Aren't you in time for the early market?"

"Then let's walk, if it's far away, how about going wherever we go?"

"it is good."

Pei Jing naturally agreed.

Meng Chuji was walking around, looking east and west, fiddling with the peddler's things absently, but silently searching for Shangguan Ting.

After going around for a long time and not finding Shangguan Ting's person, Meng Chuji had a very headache. It couldn't be that Shangguan Ting couldn't get up in the morning, so what should I do?

Perceiving Meng Chuji's depression, Pei Jing lowered her head and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Meng Chuji shook his head, glanced inadvertently, his eyes lit up, and said in his heart: It's coming!

But Shangguan Ting was followed by a man, who was recruited by a hooligan who didn't know where, and followed her, stumbling her, making it difficult for her to walk.

Outrageous!

Meng Chuji was furious in his heart, and his whole body leaked out. Pei Jing was startled, followed his gaze, and frowned tightly.

With Pei Jing at the side, Meng Chuji pretended to ask, "Is that cousin Ting'er?"

Pei Jing nodded affirmatively: "It's her."

"It's really her, let's go! Let's go there quickly."

Meng Chuji pulled Pei Jing and walked towards Shangguan Ting, but Pei Jing did not refuse. Although he hated Shangguan Ting, he didn't hate her to the point where he didn't even want to raise his hand when she was in trouble.

"What are you doing!"

Meng Chuji went up and shouted angrily.

Seeing the savior, Shangguan Ting hid behind Meng Chuji in a panic, with tears in her beautiful eyes: "Biao sister-in-law!"

Meng Chuji stopped the scoundrel from spying on Shangguan Ting, and said coldly, "Who are you?"

The hooligan looks like a well-rounded man, he is dressed like a dog, and he is also courageous. When he comes, he does not run away, but instead speaks eloquently: "Who are you?"

Pei Jing called faintly: "Young General Zhou."

The hooligan immediately looked at Pei Jing who was walking up slowly, with a look of panic on his face, he bowed his head respectfully and said: "See Your Highness."

Pei Jing's eyes were cold, and she asked, "What are you doing?"

"Your Highness, I have admired Princess Qinghe for a long time, but I have never been able to see her face. I ran into him on the street today, and I couldn't help it for a while. I wanted to show my sincerity to the princess, so I..."

When Meng Chuji heard this, he was very astonished. The co-author was not some hooligan, but Shangguan Ting's admirer, or a general?

Knowing that it was a misunderstanding, Meng Chuji looked back at Shangguan Ting, Shangguan Ting waved his hand, Meng Chuji grabbed Pei Jing's sleeve, moved closer to him, and squeezed shoulders with him: "Qiu Yu, let's send him away."

"why?"

"It doesn't look like a good person at first glance."

Pei Jing was speechless, and said after a while: "Jingjing, Zhou Yunsheng has always been upright and has a good reputation. There must be something inside. Since he has something to say to Qinghe, let him have a chance!"

"..."

Meng Chuji didn't see that Zhou Yunsheng was upright, and the entanglement in the street alone was not done by a gentleman.

But when Pei Jing spoke, Meng Chuji couldn't refuse, so he kept his mouth shut.

Pei Jing said again: "Meeting is worse than meeting by chance, so let's walk together!"

Zhou Yunsheng was overjoyed, bowed his head again and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

So, a group of four walked side by side, with Zhou Yunsheng and Shangguanting in front, Pei Jing and Meng Chuji in the back.

Zhou Yunsheng had a flattering smile, and Meng Chuji couldn't hear what he said because of the distance, but seeing his cautious expression and affectionate eyes, Meng Chuji changed his mind slightly.

It can be seen that this person really likes Shangguan Ting.

Pei Jing said: "The Zhou family has been a civil servant for generations, and Zhou Yunsheng is also ambitious, both civil and military. When Chu and Sui fought, Dasui was invaded by the neighboring sand bandits. No one in the court could use it. Zhou Yunsheng invited himself to fight and made great contributions. The Zhou family Then he became the first military officer, and the Zhou family and the court have high hopes for him, Zhou Yunsheng has a bright future and a bright future."

"So, he's still a genius?!"

Meng Chuji was amazed.

Pei Jing nodded: "Exactly."

When Meng Chuji looked at Zhou Yunsheng again, he was in awe for an instant. He didn't expect this kid to look so weak. He looked at him again and again, and he became more and more pleasing to the eye. He couldn't help but want to make friends.

Pei Jing didn't know what Meng Chuji was up to, so she kept staring at Zhou Yunsheng's back and reminded him: "The king of Zhennan has the intention of granting Qinghe to Zhou Yunsheng, and the king of Zhennan probably didn't intend to do so when he returned to the king's capital." Go back to your own fief."

Meng Chuji's face darkened instantly: "King Zhennan is using his cousin as a tool to stay in the capital?"

"That's it!"

People in Gaomen, political marriage is so normal.

However, as soon as Pei Jing finished speaking, he saw Meng Chuji rushing forward, and then forcefully penetrated through the gap between the two walking side by side, causing Zhou Yunsheng to look at each other in astonishment, while he rested his hands on the back of his head frankly and leisurely. , a posture of "when I don't exist, you two continue to talk".

After all, Zhou Yunsheng is not a thick-skinned person, he just shut up when someone came.

Meng Chuji patted Shangguan Ting on the shoulder and told her to go to the back. Shangguan Ting obediently retreated to Pei Jing's side and called, "Cousin."

Standing side by side became Meng Chuji and Zhou Yunsheng, Pei Jing and Shangguanting.

Pei Jing frowned, glanced at Shangguan Ting, and said nothing.

Adhering to the principle of courtesy first and soldiers later, Meng Chuji first smiled at Zhou Yunsheng: "Young General Zhou."

Zhou Yunsheng said respectfully, "Your Majesty."

"Listen, do you like little cousin Ting'er?"

"Yes."

Meng Chuji admired Zhou Yunsheng's uprightness, dusted him off his shoulders, and said, "But do you know that your cousin loves His Highness?"

"This..." Zhou Yunsheng frowned, "The princess just admires His Highness, I don't mind."

"Admiration?"

Meng Chuji wanted to laugh when he heard this. I'm afraid Zhou Yun is not a fool this time. How could anyone admire others so much that he would devote himself to seduce him.

"Ma'am, the minister is sincere to the princess, and the princess is also interested in the minister, but there are some misunderstandings between us that have not been resolved."

"Oh?"

Zhou Yunsheng thought for a moment, and made up his mind to tell the matter: "To tell you the truth, I have had a lot of contacts with the Princess, and the Princess gave me a token, and I returned the gift, but it was just that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Princess bumped into me. Talking to the servant girl in the mansion, the princess didn't want to pay attention to me anymore, I wanted to explain clearly to the princess, but the princess kept avoiding her, so I had no choice but to stay in the Zhennan palace to find today's opportunity."

"What did you say?"

Meng Chuji's face changed drastically, he felt like someone had hit him on the head, and he was stunned.

Zhou Yunsheng nodded affirmatively and said: "Back to your mother, I have absolutely no false words, these are the earrings of the princess."

Meng Chuji picked up the earrings and took a look. The drop-shaped emerald jade color is indeed a woman's thing, and it is absolutely extraordinary...

Meng Chuji looked back at the two people behind him. Shangguan Ting's face was full of peach blossoms. From time to time, she peeked at Pei Jing secretly, her eyes raised a little complicated, and then turned her head back. Meng Chuji calmed down a lot, and said: "Only by your words, I can't believe you, I'll ask my cousin about this in private."

Zhou Yunsheng took back the earrings carefully, put them on his chest like a treasure, and said, "Your Majesty, just ask, I dare not lie to your Majesty."

Meng Chuji lowered his head and kicked the stones on the ground, folded his hands into his sleeves, changed the subject and asked, "When did you and Qinghe meet?"

"Three years ago, when the princess just came to the capital from the fiefdom, the princess was deceived by others when she was playing with others. The minister couldn't see it and insisted a few words. The princess gave a handkerchief as a token of gratitude, and the handkerchief Still at my house."

"A handkerchief is a woman's personal belongings, how can you accept it?"

"Don't be afraid of your mother's jokes, I have already fallen in love with the princess at that time."

"..."

Pei Jing and Shangguan Ting behind them were relatively speechless.

Shangguan Ting thought that Meng Chuji would come back after a few words with Zhou Yunsheng, and sent Zhou Yunsheng away, but when she saw the scene where Meng Chuji and Zhou Yunsheng had a happy conversation, she felt a lot of uneasiness in her heart.

She had a relationship with Zhou Yunsheng.

At that time, she hadn't gained a firm foothold when she first joined the king. His father Zhennan Wang was sent to the fief early and had no contact or friendship with the nobles in the capital. She was bullied by the daughters of the capital because of this. She wanted to find a backer , Zhou Yunsheng, who had a prominent family background, just appeared, so she deliberately maintained an ambiguous relationship with Zhou Yunsheng. Wang Duzhong once rumored that she and Zhou Yunsheng fell in love at first sight, but then... Pei Jing appeared.

At the Qingming Festival, the cold and noble Prince Highness wore a python robe and worshiped the ancestors on behalf of His Majesty. With a casual glance, he firmly captured her heart.

Then, everything around her became dull, she could only see Pei Jing, and even flattering Zhou Yunsheng became extremely painful.

But Zhou Yunsheng treated her very well, and there was nothing wrong with her. In order not to let her gossip, she endured it all the time. Finally, on the Mid-Autumn Festival half a month ago, Zhou Yunsheng was caught by a maid of the Zhou Mansion who hooked up with Zhou Yunsheng and threw herself into her arms. She didn't even bother to perfunctory, refused to meet Zhou Yunsheng, didn't want to talk to him, and broke up with him completely.

At the beginning of the breakup, Zhou Yunsheng made a fuss for a while, but then it gradually stopped. She thought Zhou Yunsheng was giving up, but she never thought that he would squat in front of the Zhennan Palace whenever he was free, and tangle with him every time he went out. Today She came out after repeatedly confirming that he was not in front of the door, and she never thought that he led a team to patrol the street early in the morning, dropped his affairs and followed, and that's why everything happened now.

Shangguan Ting clutched the handkerchief, silently comforting herself, Meng Chuji and Zhou Yunsheng might not be talking about her, even if Zhou Yunsheng talked about her, she would have a way to deal with it.

She had always left room for herself in everything she did. Zhou Yunsheng couldn't prove that there was any relationship between them except for the few things she gave him.

And she always found an excuse for giving things, and it would not be shameful to say it openly, such as the handkerchief, she had nothing at the time, only the handkerchief was left on her body, what else could she give if she didn't give the handkerchief; The earrings were dropped by her on the ground and Zhou Yunsheng picked them up. How would outsiders know if they dropped them on purpose or by accident...

Thinking of it this way, Shangguan Ting felt more at ease.

She quietly looked sideways at Pei Jing, only to see that Pei Jing was staring closely at Meng Chuji and Zhou Yunsheng, her thin lips were tightly pursed, her expression was restless, it seemed that she was...

angry? ? ?
