Chapter 1420 The Happy Princess, Jinyiwei

"How is it, how is it?"

Zhan Pianpian, wearing a goose yellow long skirt, pinched the hem of the skirt, turned around in front of Zhou Chen, and asked expectantly.

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "No, the color is too plain and quiet, and it doesn't match your personality and aura."

"What do you mean, are you saying that I have a bad personality?"

Zhan Pianpian asked very dissatisfiedly. It's just wearing clothes, why is it related to personality and aura? It's not so troublesome for her to wear clothes in the palace.

When she came to this clothing store, she had changed six sets of clothes. It was troublesome for women in ancient times to change clothes. After changing these six sets of clothes, she was really tired.

"I bought the clothes, why should I listen to you?"

"Just because I paid."

"You."

Zhan Pianpian was so angry that her teeth itched. She had reason to suspect that Zhou Chen didn't let her bring gold and silver jewelry when she left the palace on purpose.

"Try that red one again."

Zhan Pianpian pouted and glared at Zhou Chen angrily, but still obediently walked into the inner room to change clothes.

After a while, Zhan Pianpian came out in a red dress, and Zhou Chen's eyes lit up immediately.

"This one is good, it's it, and the blue one from before, pack it up too."

Zhan Pianpian breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and asked, "Is this one really good-looking?"

The shopkeeper on the side also praised with a smile on his face: "Madam, your husband has a good eye. This dress looks really good on you..."

"We are not husband and wife."

Zhan Pianpian's eager explanation made the shopkeeper a little at a loss, but the businessman was thick-skinned enough.

"It's my fault. I said the wrong thing. You two are a perfect match."

His face was full of flattering smiles. If they were not husband and wife, they would be an unmarried couple. It's all the same.

Zhan Pianpian wanted to explain again: "We are not..."

"Okay, shopkeeper, let's settle the bill."

Zhou Chen asked the shopkeeper's wife to pack the clothes, and then pulled Zhan Pianpian out of the store.

Zhan Pianpian asked depressedly: "Why didn't you explain just now?"

"What to explain? Explain that we are fine? It's fine, I, a man, will take you to buy clothes?"

"Don't care what others think. Anyway, we won't see each other again in the future. It's just a waste of trouble."

Zhan Pianpian felt that Zhou Chen was wrong, but she couldn't find a reason to refute. Seeing Zhou Chen carrying her clothes and walking in front, she smiled sweetly and followed him in small jumps.

It's good that no one knows me. I don't have to remember the rules all the time, sitting, lying, and walking, and pay attention to my image everywhere.

"Zhou Chen, where are we going next?"

"Tang haws."

Zhou Chen pointed to a vendor selling candied haws in front, bought two, and gave them all to Zhan Pianpian. Zhan Pianpian happily held one in his left hand and one in his right hand, as happy as a five-year-old child.

"What is that, Zhou Chen, look at that, is it a horse? Why are there two such big bumps on its back?"

Two big bumps!

Zhou Chen looked in the direction of Zhan Pianpian's finger and almost burst out laughing. Camels and horses, except for having four legs, have no other similarities.

You mistook a camel for a horse, and it has two big bumps. Princess, are you trying to make me laugh to death?

"That's not a horse, it's a camel."

But he was also wondering, how could there be a camel in Shangjing City?

Zhan Pianpian looked confused: "Camel? What is that? Is it a relative of a horse?"

This child is really hopeless. If she sees a deer, she will probably recognize it as a horse.

Along the way, Zhan Pianpian was like a child who knew nothing. Whenever she saw something interesting or something she had never seen before, she would pull Zhou Chen to ask with great interest. Only after getting Zhou Chen's permission would she touch it and take it.

Zhou Chen turned into a parent with a child, constantly explaining to Zhan Pianpian, and was often amused by her silly brain circuits.

Although Zhan Pianpian was a princess, she might have finally gone out. She was curious and happy to see everything. She followed Zhou Chen for more than an hour and didn't complain about being tired.

"Are you hungry?"

"No."

Zhou Chen also felt that he had asked in vain. She had been talking all the way, so how could she be hungry?

But it was already noon, and the sun was shining brightly.

"You are not hungry, but I am. Let's go to the restaurant and find a place to sit down and rest. After dinner, I will take you to other places."

"Okay, okay."

Zhan Pianpian was very happy. In the morning, she had completely lost her vigilance against Zhou Chen and had a strong sense of trust. If Zhou Chen was not around, she would definitely not dare to walk alone on the street.

Zhou Chen found a restaurant with a good environment, chose a window seat on the second floor, and ordered seven or eight dishes casually.

Zhan Pianpian studied the katydid that Zhou Chen had just bought for her, and found this little insect very interesting.

Zhou Chen glanced around, showing a half-smile expression, and then said to Zhan Pianpian: "Wait for me here, I'm going out to buy something."

However, Zhan Pianpian pulled his clothes nervously.

"Where are you going? You can't leave me behind. I don't have any money."

Zhou Chen smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I brought you here, I will definitely be responsible and won't leave you behind."

Seeing that she was still worried, Zhou Chen took out a silver ingot and gave it to her.

"I'll be back soon."

"Then you have to hurry up, I'm alone, a little scared and nervous." Zhan Pianpian seemed uneasy.

Zhou Chen smiled at her comfortingly before turning around and going downstairs.

Of course, he didn't leave for no reason. When he was shopping with Zhan Pianpian before, he had already found someone following them, but he just didn't care.

This is Shangjing City, the power center of Northern Qi. The Jinyiwei of Northern Qi has a great influence here. They may not know Zhou Chen, but Zhan Pianpian, the eldest princess of Northern Qi, is still quite conspicuous. With a full search, it is not difficult to find them.

They were found, but no action was taken. It was obviously an order from above. It seems that the letter of war he left behind played a deterrent role, but it was not enough.

In an open-air teahouse not far from the restaurant, two men in ordinary clothes were sitting and drinking tea, but if you look closely, you will find that they are not talking and laughing like other guests. While drinking tea, their eyes are always staring at the direction of the second floor of the restaurant.

Suddenly, a figure sat down in the empty seat next to them. Both of them looked over unconsciously, but the next moment, their breathing stagnated.

"You two seem surprised to see me." Zhou Chen asked with a smile and a gentle tone.

But the two did not dare to relax. They were responsible for tracking, but they were found by the real master. Obviously, this person found them.

"Don't be nervous. I know why you are following me. You are Jinyiwei, right? Did Shen Zhong send you?"

The two people's faces changed suddenly, but before they could take any action, Zhou Chen's eyes suddenly glared at them. The two felt a terrifying momentum coming. The true energy bursting out of Zhou Chen made them unable to move even their fingers.

"I won't kill you, but you go back and tell Shen Zhong that you can follow, but it's best not to get close to the range of thirty feet, otherwise, he can't bear the anger of the grandmaster."

After saying this, Zhou Chen slowly got up and walked to the small stall next to him under their gaze.

But even if Zhou Chen left, they still couldn't move. Their whole bodies were like stiff, and they couldn't move a finger.

The two were extremely shocked. They were both good fighters in the Jinyiwei. With the strength of the seventh rank, they could fight against the eighth rank if they joined forces.

But Zhou Chen's eyes made them sweat and they couldn't move at all. If the other party wanted to kill them, it would be easier than killing a chicken. It was too scary.

They were just following orders to find someone. Who would have thought that they would encounter such a terrifying existence.

It was not until Zhou Chen bought something he didn't know what it was and returned to the second floor of the restaurant that they finally regained control of their bodies.

"Huff, huh..."

The two panted heavily, like drowning people being rescued ashore.

After they resumed their actions, they looked at each other, then stood up and left without hesitation, ready to go back and report.

Ever since Zhou Chen left, Zhan Pianpian had been very uneasy. It was not until Zhou Chen came back that she smiled brightly again.

"Yes, I bought it for you."

Zhou Chen placed the white embroidered cloth shoes he bought in front of Zhan Pianpian.

"Change into this pair of shoes later, so you can walk more comfortably."

Zhan Pianpian stared at the embroidered shoes in her hand. As the eldest princess of Northern Qi, she had everything she needed. Even if she needed something, someone would find it for her.

This was the first time someone gave her shoes, and it was a man. This made her feel very strange, as if something was growing in her heart.

"Why, don't you like this style? Then I'll change for another pair?"

"No, no need to return it. I like it very much. Thank you."

Zhou Chen laughed and said, "What are you thanking me for? Since I brought you out, I must take good care of you. It's just a pair of shoes."

For Zhan Pianpian, this was more than just a pair of shoes.

The food and wine had already come up slowly, and Zhou Chen was indeed hungry. He ate with big mouthfuls. Zhan Pianpian, who was not very hungry at first, saw Zhou Chen eating so deliciously, and ate with small mouthfuls.

The Northern Qi Imperial City, the harem.

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi was summoning the commander of the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division, Shen Zhong.

"You mean, the man with the princess is a man, and he looks only in his twenties?"

After listening to Shen Zhong's report, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi was shocked. They had previously guessed that the man who took Zhan Pianpian away was a grandmaster, but Shen Zhong actually found out that it was a young man who looked like a young man. How could she not be surprised?

"Is he really a grandmaster?"

As the most important minister of Northern Qi, Shen Zhong has tremendous power, but at this moment, his face is full of solemnity and seriousness.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, he said so himself. My people have come into contact with him. Two seventh-rank masters were unable to move with just a glance in front of him. Even a ninth-rank master would find it difficult to do so."

"Would a grandmaster be that young? And aren't there only four grandmasters in the world? What about you? Do you think he is a grandmaster?"

"I'm not sure. After all, I haven't seen him fight with my own eyes. But the word 'war' on the letter is really scary. Queen Mother, how about I let someone try him again?"

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi didn't look very good. She was under a lot of pressure because there was no news from Haitang Duoduo about the suspected grandmaster who suddenly appeared.

"How to try? Didn't you say that he had someone warn you? What if he is really a grandmaster?"

In fact, Shen Zhong was even more confused than the Queen Mother. After all, he was also a martial artist and had seen the skills of the grandmaster Ku He. When a grandmaster who looked to be in his twenties suddenly appeared, his first reaction was also disbelief.

It's just two seventh-rank subordinates who made Zhou Chen look so amazing. Add to that the letter. This is not the means of a normal warrior. Even if it's the peak of the ninth rank, it may not be possible, right?

"You can try, but you can't use the Jinyiwei. There are many masters in the capital who have not submitted to the court. I can ask people to spend a lot of money to ask them to do it. As long as we don't do it ourselves, it won't be considered a quarrel. Even if he is really a grandmaster, we still have Lord Ku He."

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi pondered for a moment: "If you think it's okay, then try it."

Of course, she also wanted to know whether Zhou Chen was a grandmaster. If not, everything would be easy. If it was true, they would have to find a way to deal with it.

At the beginning, they were able to sit on the throne because of Ku He, so she knew the horror of the grandmaster. Unless it was necessary, even she, the high-ranking queen mother, didn't want to offend a grandmaster.

The little emperor Zhan Doudou soon learned about the situation. In fact, she did not agree with Shen Zhong's approach. Haitang Duoduo had already taken the letter of challenge to Ku He. As long as Ku He read it, she would know whether the other party was a grandmaster or not. It would not take long to go back and forth. It was better not to test it if possible. Who knows what kind of temper the other party has.

However, she was very curious when she learned that the other party was only in his twenties. Is there really such a young grandmaster in the world?

After Zhou Chen had dinner with Zhan Pianpian in the restaurant, he rested for a while before leaving the restaurant.

He took Zhan Pianpian to stroll around the inner city for a while, and then went to the outer city, visited many places and visited many places.

On the way back, Zhou Chen asked Zhan Pianpian: "When do you want to go back to the palace? I'll take you back."

Zhan Pianpian was nervous when she heard it: "Do you want to go back now? Can't you play for a few more days? I left a letter to my mother and His Majesty, saying that I would go back in a few days. If I go back today, it will be difficult to explain."

Zhou Chen was surprised. He didn't expect that Zhan Pianpian, who was as simple as a little white rabbit, would have such a side. This was a move before reporting.

"If you don't go back, aren't you afraid that it will be bad for your reputation?"

"Your Majesty and my mother won't make it public."

Zhan Pianpian looked pitiful: "I finally left the palace once. Can you let me play outside for a few more days?"

Zhou Chen thought about it and said: "In this case, you can't stay in the inn like me. I'll take you to a place that should make you feel at ease."

"Where to go?"

"The residence of Zhuang Mohan, the great master of literature."
