Chapter 35: The Right Time

The love between men and women is like fertile soil watered by spring rain, and the seeds will germinate at the right time; like dry wood that will ignite in an instant when it encounters a strong fire.

The reason why most people are shy and cover up is simply because of the constraints of common etiquette.

For a true lady like Piao Shiyi, she was emotionally moved towards Zhou Shengchen, and it was inevitable that her words and deeds would show it. What's more, Feng Qiao, who always does things without scruples.

"General Feng won't say anything, but I can try to guess." Zhou Shengchen said calmly.

After hearing what he said, Feng Qiao forced a smile at first, and then became nervous: His Highness is extremely intelligent, wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing if he revealed it all at once?

This is precisely because she doesn't understand love. Even if Zhou Shengchen knew about it, he could only try to let her say it herself. How could he take the initiative to talk about such things and embarrass her.

"Xiao Yan must be arrogant with force!" Zhou Shengchen tried to guess.

"Hey." Feng Qiao immediately looked disdainful and curled her lips and said, "In terms of strength, I am definitely not as strong as him. What can he do? Isn't it much worse than His Highness? Furthermore, if I use swords and guns, , he may not be an opponent."

Zhou Shengchen hurriedly advised: "Swords and guns have no eyes, so you can't compete."

After Feng Qiao agreed, she turned to ask: "Your Highness, please continue to guess."

After smiling, Zhou Shengchen said thoughtfully, "That's because he didn't listen to what he said, which made General Feng angry."

After hearing this, Feng Qiao lowered her head and said nothing, first shook her head slowly, and then nodded again.

"I'm going to argue with him right now! How come my general Feng is so kind to him, but he dares to be so rude?!" Zhou Shengchen said angrily, about to stand up.

"Your Highness, don't go!" Feng Qiao quickly stopped her, her face turning red.

Looking at her, Zhou Shengchen couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Highness is usually calm and composed in the face of thousands of troops and swords and guns. Why is he sighing now?" Feng Qiao asked in surprise.

"I know," Zhou Shengchen said reproachfully, "I guess that Xiao Yan must have said some harsh words that a girl's family shouldn't hear, which embarrassed General Feng. It's not hard to blame him, Junwu People originally had no taboos,"

"That's not the case." Feng Qiao said anxiously, her brows turning red because of her grievance.

"This," Zhou Shengchen hesitated, then continued, "since he said the wrong thing, it was not rude. Then, it means that the king was negligent and should not have let a female general guard him!"

Feng Qiao was originally aggrieved, but after hearing these words, she was immediately too embarrassed to lift her head.

"Well, General Feng is really blaming me for being like this." Zhou Shengchen said with a straight face, "I will go with other generals, no need."

Before he finished speaking, Feng Qiao was reluctant to give up.

"Your Highness, I, I would like to find an opportunity to compete with him in martial arts." Although Feng Qiao blushed, she still rushed to say.

Zhou Shengchen was silent for a moment, looked at her and said, "Xiao Yan has great ambitions and is loyal and brave. He is indeed a trustworthy person."

Feng Qiao lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, she just listened quietly.

Seeing that she was always in such a hot-tempered mood, but now in this state, Zhou Shengchen felt that his guess was correct: both of them had a crush on each other.

"His temper may be as violent as yours. But you should also remember how we tame war horses in the army - since we have tough methods, we must also have a gentle mind. This is especially true for people." Zhou Shengchen He said gently, "Just imagine, if I am always arrogant and rude, who will like me?"

"Of course His Highness is not that kind of person. It turned out not to be the case, but now even though he is, Feng Qiao still respects him. Because if His Highness is like that, it must be because there is something in his heart." Feng Qiao said in a very humane way.

Nodding, Zhou Shengchen continued: "Everyone has his or her own difficulties and needs the understanding and care of others. As long as each other has no worries, we can naturally live in harmony."

Feng Qiao suddenly felt relieved and immediately raised her hands and said, "Feng Qiao understands that His Highness's words mean that I should care more about others instead of being arrogant."

"General Feng is indeed a smart man!" Zhou Shengchen praised.

Feng Qiao's expression became much more relaxed, and Zhou Shengchen then smiled and said, "You looked too serious when you came in just now, and you scared away my only disciple."

"Your Highness is really partial! We have been your disciples for a long time, yet you still call me Junior Sister Eleven. But now you say that again!" Feng Qiao pouted and said dissatisfied.

It was difficult to explain the truth to him, so Zhou Shengchen could only laugh and said: "She and I also studied poetry and piano skills. Which one of you has learned it?"

"Oh." Feng Qiao, who was simple-minded, felt that those skills were really giving her a headache, so she had no choice but to agree with what he said.

Standing up to say goodbye, she smiled and said, "I'll go find my junior sister and come back soon." Zhou Shengchen shouted to her back again: "General Feng is responsible for Xiao Yan's safety!"

"Okay!" Feng Qiao agreed, not daring to look back because her face was really red and hot.

After finding Shiyi, Feng Qiao called her to Zhou Shengchen's place. With a feeling of apprehension, she walked hesitantly to the courtyard where Xiao Yan lived next door.

The guard at the door raised his hands and said, "General Feng is back."

What she said was normal, but it made Feng Qiao blush again: What are these words? ! Like a little lady who ran away because of her husband, and then she had to come back feeling ashamed and angry?

no! This makes him even more arrogant!

Feng Qiao turned around and left. The guards saluted again: "General Feng is leaving again?"

Feng Qiao was unhappy again: This is my master's palace, Xiao Yan is just a temporary guest! Is it really his home, and I don’t dare or can’t go in? !

Turning around again, she walked slowly into the yard with steady steps.

Behind her, several guards thought it was strange, but they continued to salute and said: "General Feng is back again."

Feng Qiao ignored him and walked along the corridor into the main hall.

Xiao Yan was still meditating when he suddenly felt someone approaching. Subconsciously startled, he immediately waved his hand and called.

Feng Qiao was originally unprepared, but now she had no time to avoid it.

When the strong wind from Xiao Yan's fist was about to touch Feng Qiao's chest, she stopped awkwardly.

Turning his head, he was surprised and ashamed at first, and then immediately stood up and saluted: "I was a lot of worried on the way to escape, so I became overly vigilant."

Feng Qiao was about to get angry over this, but she saw that his words were sincere. Thinking about what King Xiao Nanchen said just now, she had no choice but to suppress her anger and return the greeting: "Feng can understand General Xiao's difficulties."

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be surprised: Is she trying to harm me? You used to be fierce when talking, why are you so gentle?

He was in a daze when he saw a fierce look in Feng Qiao's eyes.

"It's a good thing you didn't commit any serious evil, otherwise, how could I spare you, the general?!" Feng Qiao frowned and shouted.

Xiao Yan saluted again and nodded to her: "It seems that Xiao's decision has always been the right one."
