The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 194 The concerns of boys and girls

Zhou Jin came riding from a distance on horseback. The young man had a bright smile on his face and carried a little white fox in his arms.

When he entered the camp, he turned over and dismounted, lowered his head and teased the little fox again. The little thing seemed to be spiritual, nudging him with its furry head.

Zhou Jin was holding the horse's rein in one hand and holding the little fox in the other, and was walking back when he heard a woman calling him not far away.

He turned around and saw a woman in palace attire walking towards him with a lot of entourage.

When the woman approached, Zhou Jin could tell from her clothes that she was a noble princess. He did not know any of Emperor Ming's princesses, so he only asked vaguely and respectfully: "I see you, Your Highness."

The woman stepped forward, looked at him and said, "I am the Eighth Princess Qingyuan of the Holy Emperor. Don't you recognize me?"

Zhou Jin lowered his head and said respectfully: "The Eighth Princess has golden branches and jade leaves. I am a rough man, how can I be lucky enough to know Her Highness the Princess?"

The eighth princess, Qingyuan, had taken a liking to Zhou Jin since she last met him outside the Ming Emperor's study. After Meng Guifei learned about her daughter's thoughts, she also asked her daughter-in-law, Princess Jin, to ask Zhou Jin's mother, Lan Ling.

At that time, Lan Ling declined the princess' request.

Concubine Meng was angry when she learned that Lan Ling disagreed, but for the sake of her daughter's happiness, she did not want to force her daughter to get married.

Stubble.

Lan Ling did not want to have a relationship with Concubine Meng, so naturally she did not even mention the matter of the eighth princess to her son.

Therefore, Qingyuan didn't know that the other party was unwilling, and Zhou Jin had no idea that she was actually attracted by the Eighth Princess.

Qingyuan saw Zhou Jin up close and felt that he was even more handsome than the quick glance outside the imperial study that day. She was extremely pleased with him.

Qingyuan smiled at Zhou Jin and said, "You don't recognize me, but I recognize you."

When Zhou Jin looked surprised, Qingyuan continued: "I often go to my father's Qinzheng Palace, and I often see you and the eldest son of the Li family coming to see my father."

Zhou Jin replied: "That's it."

Qingyuan glanced at the little white fox in Zhou Jin's arms and said happily: "Did you hunt this little fox? She looks so cute. Can you give her to me?"

Zhou Jin spent the night on the mountain last night before catching this little thing that was out foraging for food early in the morning. He went through so much trouble because he planned to give him to his sweetheart, Jin Yan, the third girl from Zhen Guogong's Mansion.

How can I be willing to give it away to others at will?

Although this person is treated as a princess, for young people who are just starting to fall in love, their sweetheart is the most important thing.

Zhou Jin rolled his eyes and said perfunctorily: "Weichen's grandmother has been in poor health. Some wise people said that a white fox is needed to make medicine to cure the illness. This white fox was hunted by Weichen for his grandmother. I'm sorry."

I dare not give it to the princess, but please forgive me, Your Highness."

Qingyuan is the apple of Emperor Ming's eye. He wants nothing more. He just uses this white fox to talk to Zhou Jin. He doesn't really like this little beast.

Seeing what Zhou Jin said, Qingyuan smiled and replied: "It's rare for General Zhou to have such filial piety, so I won't blame him."

Zhou Jin said respectfully: "Thank you for your understanding, princess. I have something to do, so I will take the first step."

Qingyuan glanced at Zhou Jin's tall and retreating back, with a satisfied smile on her lips.

Li Ling and his female family members had just walked halfway when Zhou Jin caught up with him. When he came closer, he greeted Li Ling and others with a bright smile.

Li Ling glanced at the little white fox in his arms and said casually: "This little jade fox is the most cunning, and you actually hunted it?"

Zhou Jin replied: "Yesterday I went hunting with everyone, so I surrounded this little thing in a trap that was set in advance, and then I caught it."

He quickly glanced at Jin Yan beside him, looked at Li Ling and said: "I'm a grown man and it's useless even if I catch such a gadget. Since my cousin is here with his female family members, let's just give it to my cousin and give it to my sister-in-law and my wife."

Cousin, let them play with it."

Xu Wanning didn't know what Zhou Jin was thinking, so she quickly took the little jade fox and gave it to the three girls: "Our three girls like this little cat and dog thing the most. This little jade fox is really cute, so we took it back.

Just keep it and play with it.”

Jin Yan is also a grown-up girl. Zhou Jin deliberately approached her again and again, and she also noticed something.

Jin Yan took the little jade fox and said with a half-red face: "Thank you very much, cousin Zhou."

Seeing that the third girl liked it, Zhou Jin felt so sweet that she could make honey. She grinned and said, "You're welcome, cousin."

Everyone talked and laughed and went to watch the polo match together. The three girls were so proud of the little jade fox that they liked the little jade fox very much. They only focused on teasing the little thing in their arms, and they watched the polo match absent-mindedly.

Zhou Jin was also absent-minded, but it was the third girl he was quietly glancing at.

Qing Yuan, who also came to watch the game, although she was sitting in the royal seat not close to the seat of the Zhenguo Palace, the little jade fox in the arms of the three girls and the gentle glances Zhou Jin glanced at her from time to time were also clear.

fell in her eyes.

After the game, Zhou Jin, the three girls, and Qing Yuan all watched absentmindedly.

Especially the eighth princess Qingyuan was so angry that she jumped when she saw that Zhou Jin was actually happy with the third girl of the Zhen Guogong Mansion.

Before the game was over, she took the maid back to the imperial tent in annoyance.

When Concubine Meng saw her daughter returning angrily, she hurriedly asked, "What is this? Who has offended you again?"

Qingyuan asked angrily: "Mother, my daughter has taken a fancy to the heir apparent of Zhongshun Houfu. Are you concerned about me?"

Concubine Meng hurriedly advised: "How can I not be interested in my mother's concubine? It's just that you are a princess, how can you marry any man at will? Your father said that he wanted to observe the character of the heir apparent of the Zhou family."

No matter what your character and ability are, if I am a good person, your father and I can rest assured that you will marry him; if you are a bad person, how can you be worthy of Princess Shang?"

After hearing Concubine Meng's words, Qingyuan felt a little calmer in her heart. She murmured, "My daughter just likes the eldest son of the Zhou family, but it's just that the cousin from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion seems to be trying to steal him from her."

Concubine Meng comforted her daughter with a smile and said: "Although the third young lady of Zhenguo Palace is the only daughter of your imperial aunt, how can she compare to you? You are the most noble princess and the apple of your father's eye.

"

Qingyuan snorted coldly: "My mother-in-law is right, how can that cousin of the Li family compare with me, and what qualifications does she have to compete with me?"

After listening to Qingyuan's words, she understood eighty-nine times.

Since the Zhou family rejected them this time, there is a high probability that they are planning to marry the Duke of Zhenguo. It is a matter of life for their daughter, and a smart concubine like Meng Guifei does not want her daughter to marry someone who has other people in her heart. Concubine Meng's heart

Although I am angry, I will not be obsessed with my daughter's lifelong happiness.

Since the Zhou family doesn't know how to promote, she just needs to find another good match for her daughter. She is just such a precious daughter. In her heart, Meng really hopes that the future consort will hold her daughter in his hands and love her.

Concubine Meng was still perfunctory and said to her daughter: "I and your father must be cautious when it comes to your life-long matters. The official position of the heir apparent of the Zhou family is too low, and I always feel that he is not a good match.

"

"You are choosing a consort for me, so naturally you want me to take your fancy. I just have my eye on the heir apparent of the Zhou family. Tomorrow I will go and ask my father for a marriage."

After all, the little girl doesn’t understand that the relationship between a man and a woman needs to be in love with each other in order for it to be sweet.

The Eighth Princess, who was always used to being arrogant, threw away these words and walked out of the tent angrily.
