Zhou Zeyun's voice was neither sad nor happy. Zhou Zhaonuan nodded and sighed deeply, "Brother, I want to stop Daddy, but I know I can't stop him. So, brother, I've decided. Once Daddy and the army leave, in five or six days, I'll head south and secretly follow them."
Zhou Zeyun shuddered with fear, and nearly dropped his breakfast. He shook his head vigorously, "No, no, Nuannuan, that's really not possible. You should know that the battlefield is a place of life and death. One careless mistake can cost lives. Besides, mother will never agree to such an unrealistic idea of yours."
Zhou Zhaonuan blinked and spoke cleverly.
"So, when the time comes, I will need you to keep Nuannuan in the dark during my daily visits, until I come back."
Zhou Zeyun was so frightened that she almost slipped off the stone steps. Her whole body, even her heart, was resisting. She kept waving her hands, "Sister, my dear sister, please let your brother go. If I deceive you, how can I face my wolf-like mother in the future?"
Zhou Zeyun really wanted to kill himself right now, but it was just a thought. In the past few years, he had been somewhat unconfident in government affairs, fearing that he would do something wrong accidentally. Usually, he was much more clear-headed.
"Nuannuan, if father, a man with hundreds of battles, couldn't defeat those people, then tell me, how likely is it that a little girl like you can win?"
Zhou Zhaonuan thought about it seriously. Although this was the saying and the truth, nothing is absolute.
She blurted out, "It's an 80% chance of winning. I still have my big tiger. They ride horses, and I ride the tiger. In terms of momentum, I'm a cut above them."
Zhou Zeyun: “…”
Well, he really didn't know that this would happen.
Zhou Zeyun pursed her lips and waved her hand, "Well, sister, I'll keep this a secret for you. It's such a big deal, I'm sorry, I really can't do it."
Seeing that he was about to slip away, Zhou Zhaonuan became anxious. She stood up and moved closer to Zhou Zeyun. Her faint smile and light yellow dress made Zhou Zeyun feel numb all over.
"Brother, my dear brother, will you just agree to this? From childhood to adulthood, I've never made such an excessive request from you. Look, I finally made such an excessive request, and you won't agree to it. After I leave, tell mother that in order for me to assist in the administration as soon as possible, I'm studying hard and won't come to the Pepper Room every day to pay my respects. If mother really wants to see me, you can find a way to counter it and find an excuse to get her off the ground."
Zhou Zeyun only felt his tongue twitching. He dodged backwards, trying his best to avoid Zhou Zhaonuan's touch, and then he heard Zhou Zhaonuan's hesitant voice again.
"Hey, brother, isn't it for my own good that I asked you to do this?"
"hehe!"
"It's for your own good!"
Zhou Zeyun was at a loss for words. "I would never do anything harmful to your safety in the name of doing good for you. So, sister, just give up on this idea. I, your brother, really can't do it."
"elder brother......"
Before Zhou Zhaonuan could utter a word, Zhou Zeyun ran away, leaving Zhou Zhaonuan standing there dumbfounded. What? If you really don’t want to agree, just don’t agree. Why did you run away so fast?
Zhou Zhaonuan stomped her feet in anger. Since her brother's method didn't work, she had to start somewhere else.
However, she didn't know the exact day her father would leave. However, judging by the current situation at the border, it would probably not take more than half a month.
If she can't convince her father in the next half month, she will have to find a way... run away, taking her secret guards, shadow guards, and the guards her father gave her with her. People, no matter where they are, safety is the most important thing.
As for mother, after father passes away, I will find a chance to talk to her properly.
"Princess, let's go back to the palace. Miss Tangtang didn't return home today. She is waiting for you in Yingyue Pavilion."
It was getting darker and the dew was heavier. The night was getting deeper and deeper. The wind was blowing and the shadows of the trees were swaying. Biyu tightened her clothes and found that Zhou Zhaonuan was wearing the same clothes as her.
Seeing that her princess was still standing there motionless, Biyu couldn't help but remind her.
"Princess, it's too cold outside. If you don't want to go back, I'll go get you some clothes. Otherwise, let's go quickly."
Biyu shivered again from the cold, but Zhou Zhaonuan remained motionless, as if he was lost in thought about something.
"Princess, Princess..."
I called out several more times, but still no response.
jasper:"......"
What happened to the princess? Her soul left her body. Thinking of this, Biyu couldn't help but shiver again. She felt that the wind in the imperial garden was even colder.
She called out a few more times tentatively, "Princess, Princess, it's cold at night, let's go back quickly."
Just when Biyu was about to go find someone, Zhou Zhaonuan finally came to her senses and pulled Biyu's hand.
"It's quite cold. Let's go now."
The master and servant turned around at the same time, and Mu was startled. "Princess...Princess, why is he here?"
Looking at the Grand Tutor Jiang Yanfeng in front of her, Biyu was extremely angry. If the news that the princess had secretly met with the Grand Tutor in the middle of the night when no one was around got out by someone with ulterior motives, the princess' reputation would be ruined.
Moreover, he walked silently, without making any sound, like a ghost.
The more Biyu thought about it, the angrier she became. Her arrogance suddenly increased. She protected Zhou Zhaonuan behind her like a hen protecting her chicks and walked forward aggressively.
"Teacher Jiang, you are a high-ranking teacher and a high-ranking official. Why are you wandering around the Imperial Garden at night without leaving the palace? Could it be that you don't know that no one except the princes and guards can appear in the palace at night? Aren't you afraid that you will be considered a eunuch by appearing in the Imperial Garden without permission like this?"
Biyu looked fierce, but Jiang Yanfeng was not afraid at all. There was even a slight smile on his face.
I had nothing to do today and couldn't sleep, so I wanted to go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden. I didn't expect that I could see the little princess at this time.
A few years have passed, and Zhou Zhaonuan has become more and more beautiful. He doesn't know why, but during this period of time, he often thinks of her voice, smile, her domineering and fierceness. He even thinks that even when she loses her temper, she is cute.
In the past few years, he tried his best to make friends with Zhou Zhaonuan, but he was not treated differently by Zhou Zhaonuan again. However, this did not make Jiang Yanfeng disappointed in himself. Instead, he became more motivated.
He decided that his future wife would be Princess Chang'an.
You will cherish more the one you have pursued with great effort. Zhou Zhaonuan is so difficult to deal with. He thought that when she agrees to marry him, he will be so happy.
At that time, the two people will not have a quarrel because of a small disagreement.
