Chapter 34: How are you arranging the shifts for these seven days?
He Zhaojun smiled and said, "Everyone says that General Ling is a cold-faced devil with a strong evil aura. What do you think?"
"He doesn't have a murderous aura, he has a killing aura. How could someone who has fought his way through mountains of swords and seas of blood not have a killing aura..."
Cheng Shi saw the black-armored guards standing guard at the door, having heard everything they said. He quickly interrupted the two girls' whispers and said, "Didn't you say you were going to the Zuixian Tower? Why aren't you leaving yet?"
The two men paused, and got into the carriage while joking with each other.
Only in front of He Zhaojun would Cheng Shaoshang show some of the childishness and unrestrainedness that a girl of this age should have.
Cheng Shi sighed and rode his horse to catch up.

"Shao Shang, come with me to visit Master Lou. I think you are very worried about him." He Zhaojun looked at Shao Shang.
The young girl opposite nodded. Both of them were frank and came to visit together, which made the Lou family suspicious. They were all watching in secret, and no one tried to stop them from causing trouble.
As soon as He Zhaojun reached the west gate of the second house, she saw Lou Yao, supported by Lou Ben[16], slowly pacing in the courtyard. It seemed that his leg injury had improved significantly.
"Hello, Master Lou, hello, Master Lou." He Zhaojun bowed slightly.
Lou Yao was at a loss, dropped his cane, and returned the greeting. However, Wang Yanji was the first to react and invited both of them into the house and sit down.
"An Chengjun, if you don't mind, I will follow A Yao and call you Zhaojun, okay?" Wang Yanji looked at He Zhaojun with a smile. It was said that this future concubine came from a prominent family and was not easy to get along with, but Wang Yanji did not think so.
He Zhaojun readily agreed: "Okay, then I will call you Sister Yanji first."
Now Wang Yanji and Lou Ben have not made any mistakes and are still in love. Lou Yao is also under their protection and is still safe.
"Zhaojun, did you come here specially to see me?" Lou Yao and Cheng Shaoshang looked at each other, and did not get any forced or unwilling emotions from each other's faces, so they felt relieved.
It seems that He Zhaojun has really changed. Maybe after marriage, she will not bully him anymore.
He Zhaojun took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, I specially got some wine and food from Zuixianlou to nourish you." Then she opened the lid of the food box in front of her. Inside was a roasted pig's trotter with a greasy color and a complete shape, and steamed chicken feet were placed on the bottom layer.
They say that what you eat nourishes you, and these pig's trotters and chicken feet are for Lou Yao's legs. "Previously, Concubine Yue had already asked for mercy on my behalf. She took pity on the He family, as they had no female leader, and I had no one to teach me. So, she allowed me to enter the palace and serve as a servant. The day after tomorrow is the day I enter the palace."
Lou Yao quickly stood up and said, "In that case, you'll need to travel back and forth every day, which is quite a distance. I will certainly take care of you and fulfill my duties as an engaged husband."
He Zhaojun originally wanted to refuse, but Shao Shang pulled her sleeve under the table, so she nodded in agreement. However, several brothers and father naturally had to take turns to send her off, so Lou Yao could only go one day out of seven.
"Why do we still have to report on a weekly basis?" He Zhaojun looked up at the sky. It was all the Third Prince's fault. If he hadn't said anything, she could have stayed in the palace and gotten two more hours of sleep.
Shao Shang felt sad for no reason: "Since Sister Zhaojun entered the palace, we have even less time to spend together. I can't bear to leave my sister."
He Zhaojun patted her head, her brows curved. "After a while, you will discuss marriage with Ling Buyi, and then take bridal lessons at the Queen's side."
"That may not be the case, my silly Shaoshang."
