"Ma'am." The maid put a cloak on Shen Shi: "Aren't you going to ask a few words?"

"What are you instructing?" Shen shi turned around and went back to his own room: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. Talking too much is annoying."

As soon as Shen shi returned to the yard, Jiuzhu came over wearing new clothes: "Mother."

"His Royal Highness Chen took you into the palace, why didn't you go?" Seeing her daughter coming, Shen shi was a little surprised.

"Come and tell mother before you go." Jiuzhu took Shen's hand and shook it: "Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of myself."

"With the noble concubine and His Royal Highness Chen Wang, I don't think anyone would dare to deceive you." Shen shi looked up at the courtyard, and Chen Wang stood outside the courtyard door, with a long body and a handsome appearance.

King Chen looks like his mother, so his looks are naturally not bad.

"Go." Shen shi stretched out her hand to help her daughter organize the accessories around her waist: "This new dress is very beautiful."

"Really?" Jiuzhu turned around in front of her mother and smiled happily: "I like it too."

"As long as you like it." Shen shi took off the bracelet on her wrist, put it on Jiuzhu's hand, and took her hand out the door: "Don't make King Chen wait too long."

The fact that King Chen was able to leave the palace this time must be due to His Majesty's special kindness. She knew in her heart that this was the royal family's emphasis on Jiuzhu, so she asked King Chen to come and pick him up at the annual important banquet attended by the royal family and nobles.

The royal family has given enough face to the Ming family, and their Ming family cannot afford to lose face to the royal family at this time.

Holding Jiu Zhu's hand, she walked to King Chen and bowed to him.

King Chen turned around and returned a half-salute: "Mrs. Uncle."

Shen shi was slightly startled, if it weren't for this title, she would have almost forgotten that her family now has a title.

"His Royal Highness, if the little girl has done anything inappropriate, please forgive me." Shen shi sighed: "The minister's wife will accuse Your Highness here first."

"Madam's words are serious." King Chen glanced at Jiuzhu secretly: "This king takes care of Jiuzhu as a matter of course."

A month later, she will be his daughter-in-law!

Shen shi smiled and blessed her body: "It's not early, Your Highness should not stay outside the palace for a long time, please go back early."

"The younger generation will say goodbye first." King Chen wanted to reach out to hold Jiuzhu's hand, but his fingertips moved. In front of his future mother-in-law, he didn't dare to extend his hand.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to cross the threshold, he secretly stretched out his hand to support Jiuzhu's arm, and then retracted his hand in a proper manner.

Standing in the courtyard gate, Shen shi looked at the two cautious young people who were always approaching each other with a smile on his face.

Walking out of the gate of Ming's house, King Chen took Jiu Zhu's hand and helped her to get on the carriage.

"His Royal Highness." Jiuzhu sat in front of the carriage, lifted the curtain and smiled at him: "Wait."

After she finished speaking, she waved to the Spring Equinox who was waiting beside her: "Sister Spring Equinox."

The Spring Equinox handed Jiu Zhu the wooden box hidden in his sleeve, looked at King Chen with a smile, turned and stepped aside.

"This is for His Highness." Jiu Zhu stuffed the jewelry box into King Chen and got into the carriage.

King Chen got on his horse, and the guardian dragon guard held the reins for him. He opened the box and saw some scattered silver and a few golden peanuts inside, and chuckled softly.

This little idiot really thought he was in the palace and had no money to spend.

He glanced sideways at the carriage next to him, closed the box, and handed it to the guard behind him: "Put things away and don't lose them."

This is the living expenses earned by his future daughter-in-law.

At the end of the year, the streets were very lively, and the guards guarded the dragon guard carefully around King Chen and the carriage, daring not to slack off.

The capital is an exceptional place, not only officials know how to judge the situation, but even ordinary people have seven orifices and exquisite hearts, so no one dares to approach Chen Wang and his party.

It's a pity that there are hundreds of people, all kinds of people, and occasionally there will be strange flowers.

Sitting in the carriage, Jiuzhu heard the woman's cry and an extraordinarily intense noise. She lifted the curtains of the carriage's window and looked outside: "What happened?"

"County lord, there are hooligans in front of you who have offended a good family girl. Your Highness has already sent someone to investigate." A dragon guard replied, "The rascals and hooligans have vulgar language. If the county lord thinks they are noisy, take a rest in the carriage first."

"It's okay." Jiuzhu probed her head outside: "Is there anyone with that woman?"

"My subordinates don't know." The guardian dragon guard glanced at the place surrounded by the crowd: "There are so many people, even if no one is watching, those hooligans will not dare to mess around again."

Jiuzhu thought for a while, then lifted her skirt and got off the carriage.

"Be careful on the ground." King Chen bent down, lifted the hem of her skirt, and signaled the Dragon Guard to disperse the crowd watching the fun.

Seeing the appearance of the guardian dragon guard with a knife, the crowd watching the lively crowd dispersed, standing in the distance with their necks stretched to watch, but did not dare to talk nonsense any more.

After Jiu Zhu approached, she heard the rascal say something sloppy in his mouth, "Who can prove that I touched you", "You are so ugly, don't even give him a gift" and so on.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard His Highness beside her tut: "Where is the stinky dog barking here?"

The hooligan who was scolding vigorously turned his head to look at King Chen. Seeing that he was dressed in luxurious clothes and surrounded by guards, his arrogance disappeared, he nodded and said, "Sir, I really didn't offend this woman. Look, there are so many women on the street. , There are so many people who look better than her, how could I do such a thing."

King Chen raised his eyebrows to look at the Dragon Guard beside him, and the Dragon Guard nodded.

"The sky is bright and the sky is bright, so dare to do such a thing. It seems that it is not only a bad brain, but also a bad heart." King Chen pointed to the river next to him: "Wash his brain and wake up."

"Your Highness." Jiuzhu pulled King Chen's sleeve: "It's so cold..."

"Huh?" King Chen raised his hand and signaled the Dragon Guard to stop throwing the rogue into the water: "What's wrong?"

"Take off the padded jacket on him and then throw it away, otherwise it will be more laborious to catch it later." Jiu Zhu suggested seriously: "Tie a rope around his waist, and when he is dragged up, there is no need for others to go into the water to fish."

Most importantly, don't worry about the bad guys escaping.

"You're right." King Chen nodded with a smile: "Hu Longwei is his own person, so we can't let such a thing tire them."

Amid the cheers of the crowd, the hooligan was thrown into the water, and countless people began to applaud.

This person is a street bully, he is idle on weekdays, and he likes to do some sneaky things. If anyone scolds him, he will deliberately run in front of other people's daughters and do some indecent behavior of spit and scolding.

Now that someone finally took care of him, everyone praised this handsome young man for eliminating harm to the people.

"I thought you would intercede for this person." King Chen glanced at the hooligan who was fluttering in the water, and pulled her to the carriage: "I was thinking, if you intercede for this person, I will listen to you."

"Why do you want to intercede for him?" Jiuzhu looked at King Chen in a puzzled way: "A kind of cause and effect, he made a mistake, His Highness, as the prince of Dacheng, punishing the wicked is to eradicate evil for the people. If I intercede for him , isn't he acting for the tiger?"

Jiuzhu grew up in a Taoist temple. Under the guidance of her two masters, she developed a character of following her own heart since she was a child. It is difficult for her to influence her actions and judgments from outside words and opinions.

"Life is too short, you can do whatever you want, and you will live in the world." Jiu Zhu smiled and looked at him: "I know that what Your Highness is doing is right, and of course it won't stop you from doing what you want to do."

"Just trust me like that?" King Chen smiled.

"Yeah." Jiuzhu nodded.

"If I do something wrong one day, you will follow me in doing the wrong thing?" King Chen smiled and shook his head: "Then you will suffer."

"If Your Highness is wrong, I will tell you." Jiu Zhu explained earnestly, "Supporting what you are doing and discouraging you from doing what is wrong is not difficult."

"Yeah, it's not difficult to do." King Chen shook his hand holding the hem of her skirt and laughed out loud.

Not difficult but difficult.

Things are right and wrong, but people's hearts have to distinguish between interests.

"Who is making trouble!"

With a loud shout, Yu Jian walked out from behind the crowd with Jin Wuwei. He glanced at the people who were fluttering in the water, vaguely felt that this scene was a little familiar, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Little General Yu." King Chen looked at the person with a smile: "What a coincidence, are you on duty again today?"

Hearing King Chen calling her surname, Yu Jian felt a strange feeling in her heart. King Chen actually remembered what his surname was!

"My lord, I don't know if this person is flirting with people's daughters, or intending to abduct and sell children, or... pretending to sell his body to bury his father?" Yu Jian carefully recalled the people who had been cleaned up by King Chen in the past. crime.

"Tricking a civilian girl on the street." King Chen counted the time: "His brain should be almost sober by now. You guys came just in time, pick up the man from the water and send it to Jing Zhaoyin."

"The last general is in command." Yu Jian looked at King Chen expectantly.

"Anything else?" King Chen raised his eyebrows to look at him.

"The last commander will go here." Yu Jian sighed inwardly, seeing King Chen's attitude, he had no chance to be the servant of King Chen's residence.

The good benefits of Prince Chen's mansion can't be expected.

When he and a few brothers went to find people, they found that His Royal Highness King Chen was extra considerate this time, not only tied a rope around the prisoner's waist, but also took off his clothes outside.

In this way, they neither need to go into the water to hunt for people, nor do they need to find dry clothes for the prisoners to put on, which saves a lot of effort.

Perhaps it was because the former King Chen was too tossed, and seeing him so thoughtful this time, the gratitude of everyone in Jinwuwei came out spontaneously.

Perhaps, this is the humble side of human nature.

An official passed by in a sedan chair, saw Jin Wuwei picking up a person from the river, and asked the sedan chairman, "What happened outside?"

The bearer listened to the excitement on the road and replied, "Master Hui, this man did not know what he did, and was thrown into the water by His Royal Highness King Chen."

"King Chen was not imprisoned in the palace by His Majesty, why did he escape?" The official frowned, "On such an important day today, he is still so rambunctious."

Thinking of His Majesty's preference for King Chen, he sighed heavily. His Majesty suppressed several other princes everywhere, and favored King Chen alone, but how could the country of Dacheng be handed over to such a willful person.

He lifted the curtain and glanced at it in annoyance, just as he was about to let the bearer go away immediately, he saw King Chen following behind a young girl, holding the skirt to the little girl in his hand.

The little girl took out a handkerchief and was comforting a crying woman with gentle words, looking like... the daughter of Ming Shilang's family

What kind of willful behavior, what arrogance and domineering, it seems... not very involved.

After getting off the sedan chair, he asked an old man who was selling Spring Festival couplets: "Old man, may I ask what was wrong with that man, and why was he thrown into the water."

"This kind of person who lacks great virtue deserves it!" The old man rolled up his sleeves, wishing he could rush up and kick him: "Mothering women, stealing chickens and dogs, he has done all the wicked things."

The official stretched out his hand to help the slightly excited old man, feeling a little ashamed, it turned out that he had wronged King Chen.

Willing to condescend to clean up a local ruffian who is constantly doing evil for the common people, should... It won't be bad, right
