"What happened next? Did the King of Pingxi marry the Turkic princess?" Achou asked Zhong Mingwei with his head tilted, his face full of anticipation and curiosity.
"No," Zhong Mingwei shook his head. He added, "The Turkic royal family was determined to marry into the Great Zhou, and the princess was the eldest daughter of the Turkic empress. If this marriage was settled, the border between the Turkic and the Great Zhou would naturally be stable. Father was naturally happy. But because of the temper of the King of Pingxi, he still wrote a letter to find out his opinion before issuing the decree. Who knew that the King of Pingxi sent a bunch of black hair in an urgent manner six hundred miles away. There was also a memorial saying that he was willing to remain single for the rest of his life and guard the border for the Great Zhou. Father was so angry at the time that he gnashed his teeth. Later, the Turkic princess had to leave Beijing sadly. I heard that after returning to her country, she shaved her head and became a nun."
"But why doesn't the King of Pingxi want to marry the Turkic princess?" Ah Chou didn't quite understand. "The princess is so affectionate and so beautiful. The King of Pingxi is too cruel."
"You have never seen a Turkic princess. How do you know she is beautiful?" Zhong Mingwei asked with a smile.
"The one who has kept you thinking about her for so many years must be a beauty, and she must be the kind of beauty that can topple a country." Ah Chou said sourly, while sneer at Zhong Mingwei.
"You naughty little girl!" Zhong Mingwei laughed dumbly, and then pinched Ah Chou's fair cheeks. He leaned over and kissed Ah Chou's round nose, and said softly, "No matter how pretty you are, you can't compare to our little girl."
"Hehe. I just like your personality of never lying." Ah Chou was a little happy again. She held a braid in front of the man and said a little proudly, "Zhong Mingwei, do you think this hairband is pretty? In the past, the maidens in the Yanxi Palace all had hairbands with such patterns. I was envious. I saw it at the market the other day and was so happy. Hehe, it's really pretty no matter how I look at it."
Zhong Mingwei looked at the lake blue hairband on Achou's hair, but couldn't see anything special about it. However, he couldn't help but kiss the slightly yellowed hair over and over again.
"You like this hairband too, don't you?" Ah Chou was even happier. "Isn't it very pretty?"
"You'll look better wearing it," Zhong Mingwei said softly, his big hands rubbing over the fair face inch by inch, "Girl, you're really pretty."
"You only need to say it once, don't keep talking nonsense..." Ah Chou said with a red face, but she burst into laughter. She turned over and rolled into the man's arms, buried her face in his arms, and hugged his waist, laughing, "Zhong Mingwei, don't say that all the time. You've said it too much, and I think I'm really good-looking..."
"I'm not talking nonsense, it's true," Zhong Mingwei said softly, stroking her pigtail, "In my eyes, there is no girl prettier than you."
"Me too, I feel that all the men in the world combined cannot compare to you," Ah Chou nuzzled into the man's arms, then spoke shyly, "In the past, other palace maids thought that the third prince was the most handsome, and some even said it was the second prince, but I always thought you were the most handsome, much more handsome than them..."
"When?" Zhong Mingwei's heart suddenly trembled, and his bright eyes showed unconcealed joy and shock. "Girl, have you seen me before? When was it?"
"I..." Ah Chou was suddenly flustered. She had just said it casually without thinking much about it. At this time, facing Zhong Mingwei's questioning, she immediately panicked. She hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, I-I have never seen you! Never!"
"Really?" Zhong Mingwei didn't believe it. This girl was the worst at lying. He said in a good-tempered manner, "Girl, can you tell me? Tell me when you first saw me. I want to know. I really want to know."
"I won't tell you." Her face, which was originally full of joy, now looked extremely aggrieved. She didn't know what she was thinking of. Her eyes were slightly red, and she said with trembling lips, "I won't tell you!"
Zhong Mingwei's heart skipped a beat when he saw Ah Chou's expression. He was a little uncertain and asked carefully, "At that time, I... was there someone else around me?"
"Don't even think about it!" The next second, Achou roared fiercely, then got off the kang angrily and walked straight out.
