Chapter 521 The Princess Has Arrived
Zhou Ruiyuan slowly withdrew his hand and said softly, "Yes, the green jade looks very good on you."
Du Wanchun was very happy to hear him praise her, and touched her again with her hand, her face full of smiles.
At this moment, Yi'er suddenly leaned over and said, "Father has always been very gentle with Mother. Those servants in the manor only know how to talk nonsense. They say that Father is usually very fierce."
Du Wanchun lowered her head and smiled at Yi'er, "They didn't lie. Your father was indeed very fierce when he was in the yamen."
Yi'er looked puzzled and said, "Father isn't fierce at all. Father is the best father in the whole world."
Zhou Ruiyuan took Yi'er's hand, squatted down, and smiled at him, saying, "In this world, no matter what happens, you must remember to reserve all your love and tenderness for your wife, children, and parents, because they are the ones who love you the most."
Yi'er, who only half understood, obediently nodded.
Little Qing'er, who was beside him, took every word to heart.
Xiao Qing'er turned her head slightly to look at the smiling Xiao Mianmian beside her, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face as well.
Xiao Mianmian seemed to sense his gaze and turned her head to look at him.
As their eyes met, Xiao Mianmian suddenly pointed excitedly behind Xiao Qing'er and exclaimed, "Look! Look! What a big fish!"
Everyone looked up and saw a group of people carrying a huge fish lantern passing through the crowd.
A large crowd surged about, and colorful lanterns shone brightly, illuminating the little faces of the children.
Under the stone bridge not far from Du Wanchun and the others.
A woman dressed as a man is carrying a lantern, saying, "I want this one, and I want this one too."
Behind her followed a servant dressed in black. This servant, surnamed Song, was Zhou Zhao's deputy general, ordered to escort the princess to the capital.
The princess was too playful and forced him to change his clothes and arrive in the capital early to participate in the lantern festival.
Vice General Song took out some silver from his pocket to pay for her, muttering, "Princess, is this enough? We should leave the city as soon as possible so we don't get discovered."
The princess didn't care. "So what if they found out? What can your emperor do to me?"
As she spoke, she continued walking forward and bought some more rouge and jewelry.
Deputy General Song had no choice but to obediently hand over the money.
After paying the money, he still didn't forget the task Zhou Zhao had given him and continued, "Princess, that Third Prince is at least twenty years older than you..."
Upon hearing that she was twenty years old, the princess immediately became excited. "What? You want me to marry an old man?"
Deputy General Song quickly shook his head, "Although the Third Prince is not young, he is definitely not an old man."
The young master's face was full of displeasure. "No, when I see your emperor, I must have a good talk with him. I need to find someone..."
As he spoke, Vice General Chao Song glanced at him and said, "At least someone like you."
Deputy General Song and Zhou Zhao were about the same age. They had spent most of their time on the battlefield, and their skin was wheat-colored. However, they were quite handsome, with dark eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose. There was nothing wrong with them, and they even had a baby face when put together.
Especially with his honest smile, women passing by couldn't help but turn around for a second look.
He lowered his head somewhat embarrassed, "I'm just a lowly deputy general, how could I be worthy of the princess?"
The princess glanced over and looked at him with a smile, "Don't take it seriously, I was just joking."
After saying that, she turned around and continued walking forward.
There were many people on the road, and Deputy General Song was afraid that someone would bump into her, so he immediately stepped forward to clear a path for her.
The princess stood with her hands behind her back, head held high, dressed in a blue robe, looking like a spirited young man.
She stared at the simple-minded Deputy General Song and couldn't help but smile.
Deputy General Song never forgot the task assigned by Zhou Zhao, and continued, "Although the Third Prince is a prince, he has no real power in the court. I heard that he idles away his days and often goes to brothels."
