What Zhou Leping found difficult was not that Zhou Lean liked Zhao Shiqian, but that the chances of the two of them meeting each other again after Zhou Lean entered the palace was much less.
Before entering the palace, she misunderstood Zhao Shiqian because she still couldn't let him go. She wanted to explain that it wasn't like that, but now, she didn't know when she would have the chance to explain it to him. She just hoped that this misunderstanding wouldn't get worse.
Now that things had settled down, it was too late to say anything else. She put her mind to business.
The matter of the shop had been progressing smoothly with Zhao Deng's help, but this fellow had not stopped when he was busy, and in less than two days, he had returned with the beauty in his arms. When Zhou Leping visited his residence, he saw that girl from afar once, and it was very familiar to him when he glanced at her from afar.
Zhao Deng called for her to get to know him, "This is Qian Qian."
After introducing Qian Qian and her plans, Qian Qian pointed at Zhou Leping and suddenly exclaimed, "General? Is it really your general? "
Zhou Leping thought that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before. Just as he was thinking hard, Qian Qian suddenly jumped into her embrace and hugged her.
At this moment, for some reason, Zhao Deng felt as if he was suddenly robbed by a blade.
"This, this, this .."
It wasn't the first time he was treated as a man, but the first time he was hugged like this by a woman. For a moment, he didn't know how to react or even stammer.
Zhao Deng quickly pulled the two apart, pointed at Zhou Leping and asked, "You know her?"
Qian Qian's eyes turned red, he nodded his head like he was pounding garlic, "I do, while my father and I were singing in the inn... To be bullied, it was the general who saved me. "
Zhou Leping remembered, "So it's you, didn't I give you the silver back then? "Then what did you guys do after that? How did it .." She turned her head and looked at Zhao Deng with disdain, "Why are you at the Duke Palaces, with Prince Rui?"
Qian Qian glanced at Zhao Deng, his face flushed red, "General gave me and father silver for a tea house, but after that .. In the end, when we met a guest that intentionally caused trouble and ruined the stall, even our father was severely injured. Luckily, when the prince stepped in to save us, I was unable to repay him. and I agreed to commit myself to it. "
She immediately understood what was going on. She pursed her lips into a smile and pulled Zhao Deng away, "My prince, let's talk after I borrow a step."
She was strong, so how could Zhao Deng resist? He was dragged to the end of the corridor by her, and snorted unhappily, "What are you doing? This duke is still a prince, can't you give me some face in front of Qian Qian? "
"Your Highness, Qian Qian is a lady from a normal family, she is not the same person as your concubine, you are new, if you see the beauty of her parents, you can just go and trick her. If you don't like her from today onwards, how can she, a woman with no power and no influence, live?"
Zhao Deng looked at her with his hands on his waist, "What do you mean? What about pouring cold water on me? This King is a bit sentimental, but This King has always bragged that he is a good man and has never treated any woman that has followed This King unfairly. Furthermore, how do you know that I will definitely get tired of her? I think she's my destiny. "
Zhou Leping rolled his eyes at him, "If this subject remembers correctly, you must have said it like this to all the other women, right?"
"Zhou Leping! I'm warning you, you're not allowed to speak ill of me in front of Qian Qian. This king will help you open a shop. It's already cheap enough not to let you repay me, but you better watch your language later! "
"This subject is just reminding Your Highness. Although Qian Qian seems weak, she is actually a person with a strong personality. You should take it easy on her, so that she won't be like that Miss Tongyun .."
Just the mere mention of Tongyun made Zhao Deng's hair stand on end. Tongyun was simply a nightmare for him.
At that time, Zhao Deng was still not a prince then, but a romantic little prince. He once went out secretly to play and met a girl in the Flower Hall.
Not long after, he got tired of Miss Tongyun of the Flower Lodge. The two finally slept together, and Miss Tongyun snuggled up to his chest and gently asked if he would be moved to another place.
However, Zhao Deng had nothing to say to women, even though he did not like and was fed up with women, he still hugged Tongyun Mountain Range and swore that he would not.
As soon as Tongyun was happy, she fed him a few more cups of wine.
Then, Zhao Deng woke up in the middle of the night with a piss. When he opened his eyes, he found that Tong Yun was sitting on the side of the bed staring at him with a gloomy expression.
Zhao Deng was so scared that he almost peed his pants when he ran out of Tong Yun's room that night. Luckily he woke up from the peeing, he did not dare think that if he did not wake up, Tong Yun would have made a move on him.
That matter had always been a shadow in his heart, so he didn't dare to think about it. Even so, he still felt a chill down his spine whenever he thought about it.
Zhao Deng shook his head, shaking out those bad memories from his mind, and punched Zhou Leping on the shoulder, "You can shut up. If you say it like that, I won't even dare to sleep tonight."
When she came out, it was already late in the evening. Zhao Deng wanted to keep her for dinner, but she saw that he had only just gotten a new girl, so she wasn't too sincere about it.
Chang Feng drove a horse carriage and waited for her at the entrance. Zhou Leping had his hands behind his back, letting him go back first, "I'm going to walk around by myself, go back and tell Big Bro, you don't need to wait for me for dinner."
"General, where are you going?" General, where are you going?
"I'm not going anywhere, just strolling around casually. You can go back first."
Chang Feng was shy, "I think it's better if I follow you."
Zhou Leping glared, "I told you to go back first, why are you wasting your breath!"
When she was angry, she had a lot of dignity, so Chang Feng did not dare disobey, and could only drive the horse carriage back.
Zhou Leping really didn't have any particular intentions to go there, she was just strolling around. It had been a long time since she had returned to the capital, and after that, she didn't have time to walk around properly.
She was wearing a mask and stood out no matter where she went. The beggars on the street even recognized her as a man. They passed her a broken bowl and said with a trembling voice," "Young Master, please do it.
She took out a few copper coins and threw them into the broken bowl. The beggar looked at them and scoffed in disdain, "I can see that young master's clothes are extraordinarily elegant and refined, but how can he be so stingy? A few copper coins is not even enough for a meal."
Zhou Leping was originally going to walk away, but now he turned back, "I see that you have hands and feet, what can you do that makes you want to come out and ask for money? It's fine if you're asking for money, but if I were to give you money, it's fine if you don't want to thank me.
