Cheng Zheng looked at the woman in front of him indifferently. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. When she saw him, there was a flash of panic in her eyes, and then she calmed down quickly. She was very courageous. , did not show disgust and fear towards him like ordinary people.
"Who sent you here?" Cheng Zheng took a step closer to Zhao Rao, staring at her coldly.
Zhao Rao was forced to take two steps back, "I'm here to find someone, who are you? Why are you here?"
Cheng Zheng squinted at her slightly, seeing that she kept backing away from him, he just felt it was funny, she should have come here to look for him, but she didn't know who he was
"Stop, don't come over again." Zhao Rao pressed her back against the wall, and she glared angrily at the hideous-looking man in front of her. Could this man be uncle's subordinate? "If you dare to approach again, I will tell your general."
"Our general?" Cheng Zheng raised his eyebrows, and stretched out his long arms to trap Zhao Rao in his own, "Have you seen... him?"
"Of course I have!" Zhao Rao said, she met Cheng Zheng when she was a child, although she had never gotten along with him, and she had seen him from a distance, but she still vaguely remembered that he was a handsome man.
Cheng Zheng looked down at the woman, had she seen him? But he has no impression of her at all. Is she a maid at home? No, her clothes don't look like maids' clothes, so they are some relatives in the family. Could it be that his father wanted to force him to get married again, so he deliberately found some woman to approach him
"Stay away from me." Zhao Rao called out to Cheng Zheng coldly.
"What's your name?" Cheng Zheng asked in a low voice, smelling the girlish fragrance emanating from her body, his blood was a little tense. It seemed that he hadn't had a woman for a long time, but it's a pity that the women in this family were not allowed to touch. It was still convenient when he was in the army, and he could let those women leave after venting, at least without any trouble.
Zhao Rao calmed down and looked at the man in front of him. If you don't look at the scar on his face, he is a very handsome man, but because of that scar, he looks hideous and scary. He is wearing a simple straight gown. There is also a faint smell of soap locust, he should have just washed up... There is no one in the practice room, that's because my uncle doesn't like people approaching him.
Isn't the only man who appeared here... Cheng Zheng
Zhao Rao stared at him in shock, "You... are you Cheng Zheng?"
Cheng Zheng raised his eyebrows expressionlessly, and finally recognized her. He pinched her chin and looked up at her carefully. If he had seen her before, he would definitely remember her identity, "When did you meet?" past me?"
It was really him!
Zhao Rao didn't know how to describe the surprise in her heart, she really didn't recognize it at all.
"I... I saw it when I was a child." Zhao Rao said in a daze, her chin hurt a little from his pinch, she stretched out her hand to open his grip, "Uncle, it seems that you don't remember me either."
uncle? The fun in Cheng Zheng's eyes was instantly covered with a layer of ice. There is only one person in this world who can call him uncle.
That is Cheng Bing's daughter.
So, the little girl in front of me is Zhao Rao
"Zhao Rao?" Cheng Zheng let go of her chin, and stood two steps back. This woman was not brought by his father to seduce him, but actually his nominal niece. "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Rao smiled faintly, "Of course I'm here to find uncle."
Cheng Zheng's eyes were cold and distant, "I don't remember that we met before, what do you want from me?"
He didn't realize that this girl was Cheng Bing's daughter, she didn't look alike, Zhao Rao looked more like Zhao Yong, especially those heroic eyes, it was normal for him not to recognize her.
However, he thought that Cheng Bing's daughter would hate him as much as she did.
Didn't Cheng Bing still point at him and scold him? Said that he was born ominous, Ke father Ke Muke people around, she did not admit that he was his younger brother, even though they were not biological, but his name was on the Cheng family's genealogy, probably because of this, Cheng Bing hated him to death he.
"I was looking for uncle at that time." Zhao Rao took a look at his scars, "I remember that uncle had no scars on his face before. You were injured on the battlefield?"
Cheng Zheng said coldly, "What do you want from me?"
He didn't seem to want to talk to Zhao Rao at all. He didn't have any sibling relationship with Cheng Bing, and he was even stranger to this niece. She came here to look for him, so there must be no good.
Zhao Rao originally wanted to get close to Cheng Zheng, but seeing his indifference, she knew that no matter what she said, this uncle would not treat her niece differently, so she might as well just say it outright.
"I heard that my father wants to give my uncle a marriage?" Zhao Rao asked in a low voice.
Cheng Zheng evoked an indifferent smile, "So what?"
"Will uncle agree?" Zhao Rao looked at him, "Will you marry the princess?"
"Princess, do you care about my marriage?" Cheng Zheng asked lightly.
"Yes." Zhao Rao nodded unabashedly, "Uncle, your marriage is very important to me... to the Cheng family. If you marry Princess Lan, it will be bad for the Cheng family in the future, right..."
"It's not good for the eldest prince you want to help?" Cheng Zheng interrupted Zhao Rao, "Princess, you care too much."
Zhao Rao said in a low voice, "It's true that I shouldn't meddle in uncle's affairs, but...my mother's empress died for no apparent reason, I'm not reconciled."
Cheng Zheng laughed softly, "I don't care how your mother died. Speaking of which, Concubine De helped me when she was in Cheng's house. She is more kind than your mother. Even if I want to To help, is to help the second prince, isn't that a matter of course?"
What? Zhao Rao raised her head suddenly, "You are my uncle, you don't help me, but you want to help the second prince?"
That's right, Concubine De used to be the maidservant of the queen mother, but after entering the palace, she was unwilling to be lonely and seduced the emperor father, otherwise she would not have given birth to a son and a daughter, and she would not have harmed her mother behind her back. Unexpectedly, Cheng Zheng would want to help Concubine De.
Cheng Zheng looked at Zhao Rao indifferently. He often heard the emperor mention that the eldest princess was a very smart and decisive woman. The two princes combined were not as smart as her. The emperor often lamented that it would be better if the eldest princess was a man.
It seems that this smart princess is also confused sometimes. Does she want revenge too much, or is she fascinated by the desire for power
"I will not help anyone. The person I am loyal to is the emperor, not the two princes, and not you." Cheng Zheng glanced at Zhao Rao, "Princess, there are some things that you should not be able to interfere with. You should do it yourself. Well, don't send it."
Zhao Rao raised her head and looked at him proudly, "It's true that there are some things that I can't interfere with, but you are my uncle, so even if you don't help me, you shouldn't hold me back."
Cheng Zheng looked down at her, "Uncle?"
Her mother had never recognized him as a younger brother, and he had never met Zhao Rao. Where did he start to talk about his feelings for this niece
