Chapter 401 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 12
Zhou Shengchen asked again: "Military Advisor, do you remember what is in my warehouse?"

Xie Chong was immediately attracted by Zhou Shengchen's words. He thought about it, stroked his beard and answered seriously:
"Your Highness's storehouse is mostly filled with festival gifts and rewards sent from Zhongzhou, such as New Year's gifts and rewards after winning battles. Many of them are gold and silver, but there are also some calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, jade and so on. There are so many things that I can't remember the details. Your Highness can open the storehouse and take a look for yourself when you go back."

Sensing something was wrong, he asked curiously, "Your Highness, don't you always care about what's in the storehouse? Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"

Looking at Xie Chong's wise eyes that seemed to see through everything, Zhou Shengchen felt a little uncomfortable.

"I was wondering if there was any fabric in the warehouse that could be used to make clothes for the little girl, or jewelry or something."

"Oh~"

Xie Chong looked at Zhou Shengchen leisurely, "So Your Highness wants to give Ling Xi a gift?"

"It's not a gift," Zhou Shengchen retorted, "I saw Ling Xi, a little girl, wearing clothes of only one color, and without any jewelry. After all, a little girl at this age loves beauty. Since she has entered the palace, I naturally have to pay more attention to her. I can't let her lack what others have."

Xie Chong's eyes were full of meaning. "Why haven't I seen Your Highness care about Xiao Yu and Feng Qiao so much before?"

Zhou Shengchen listened to Xie Chong's words. He looked at Xie Chong expressionlessly and explained lightly:
"I just felt sorry for her as a little girl, so I couldn't help but take better care of her. Military Advisor, please don't think too much about it."

Xie Chong: “.”

A smile flashed across Xie Chong's eyes.

He hasn't said what he's thinking yet, how do you know what I'm thinking?
It can be seen that what he thought in his heart was the same as what His Highness thought in his heart.

After walking for about half a month, almost a month, Wang Jun finally returned to Xizhou City.

Ling Xi pulled open the curtain of the carriage and looked curiously at the towering city wall in front of him.

On the plaque above the city gate, there are two big characters "Xizhou" engraved.

This is Xizhou City, the fiefdom governed by the young King Nanchen and the location of the Nanchen Palace.

The king's army remained in the military camp outside Xizhou City. Only the king's personal guards and soldiers living in the palace followed them into the city.

Perhaps knowing that the king's army would return today, the people were waiting at the city gate, warmly welcoming them back.

Looking at the bright smiles on the people's faces, Ling Xi's mood also became cheerful.

Among the thirteen counties of Northern Chen, only Xizhou was never dared to be invaded.

This is all because of the existence of the young Nanchen King Zhou Shengchen in Xizhou.

For the first time, Ling Xi realized what kind of existence Zhou Shengchen held in the hearts of the people of Xizhou.

He is their patron saint. Zhou Shengchen and the Nanchen Royal Army have protected the land of Xizhou, making it peaceful and tranquil without any war.

It also allows the people of this land to live and work in peace and contentment.

When they arrived at the gate of Nanchen Palace, Feng Qiao jumped off the carriage first, turned around and carefully helped Ling Xi down.

Because Ling Xi had never demonstrated his martial arts in front of them, so in everyone's mind, Ling Xi was just a doctor with overly skilled medical skills but no strength at all.

Therefore, the people in Nanchen Palace protected her all the way, fearing that she would get bumped or hurt, and treated her like a fragile doll.

In this regard, Ling Xi did not intend to tell anyone that he knew martial arts.

Let them always think that she is a "weak" girl.

This feeling of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger is very good.

Feng Qiao excitedly pulled her hand: "Ling Xi, we are going home."

Seeing everyone so happy, Ling Xi had more expectations for his future.

She had a feeling that her days here would be very happy.

Ling Xi was pulled by Feng Qiao into the palace. The courtyard was large and the scenery was beautiful, with small bridges and flowing water, simple and elegant. Probably because the palace was full of military commanders, the layout of the palace was not trivial, there were not many flowers and plants, and there were more open spaces. This layout was grand and neat.

There is also a large martial arts field in the backyard, with targets and various weapons on it.

After walking for a while, Zhou Shengchen stopped, walked to Ling Xi, looked at her, and said softly, "I sent a message to have your yard prepared for you long before I came back. Now I'll take you to have a look."

At the same time, he looked at the others and said, "You must be tired from the journey. Go back and take a rest first."

"Yes, Master."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhou Shengchen walked in front, and Ling Xi followed him consciously.

Behind him, Hong Xiaoyu and Feng Qiao wanted to follow, but were stopped by Xie Chong.

"Military Advisor, why are you pulling me along? We clearly agreed that I would live with Axi, but why did Master arrange a courtyard for Axi?"

Feng Qiao asked in confusion, still looking at Ling Xi's receding figure, feeling quite reluctant to let her go.

Xie Chong looked at her as if he was looking at an ignorant child, and said, "Your Highness wants to spend some more time alone with Ling Xi, what's the point of you going there?"

Feng Qiao's eyes were blank, and she looked like she didn't understand anything.

Xie Chong had no choice but to think, forget it, he’s still a child.

Although she had already gone to the battlefield, she was not yet of age, so it was normal that she did not understand these things.

On the other side, Zhou Shengchen led Ling Xi into a yard.

The Nanchen Palace is very large, but there are not many people in it, not to mention that he spends most of his time in the military camp or fighting wars, and does not often live in the palace.

Therefore, each person in the mansion basically has his own courtyard, which is convenient.

When Ling Xi walked into the yard, he found that this yard was different from the outside, and it was more elegant and beautiful.

There is a large open space in the yard, with a few trees and flowers planted here and there.

To Ling Xi's surprise, there was an osmanthus tree in the yard, which was very similar to the one where she used to live.

It is now October, and the rich fragrance of osmanthus fills the air, filling the entire yard with the aroma.

A swing was built next to the courtyard wall, which is shaded by tall trees and is not exposed to the sun.

Zhou Shengchen looked at the empty space and said, "I don't know what flowers or trees you like, so I didn't plant them in the yard. Or if you want to plant some medicinal herbs in this empty space, that's fine too."

Ling Xi tilted his head and thought for a while, then replied: "Then I will plan this open space and then tell the prince. When the time comes, if I want something, the prince must not be reluctant to give it up."

Zhou Shengchen was in a good mood when he saw her impolite and playful look.

He indulged her every day and finally managed to bring out some of the girl's temper.

"Although I have many soldiers under my command, I am not so poor that I cannot afford to spend any money."

Zhou Shengchen said jokingly, "I will have someone send some things to you. If you need anything, just tell me. Just treat the palace as your home."

"Okay." Ling Xi agreed straightforwardly.

Ever since Zhou Shengchen said those words to her that day, Ling Xi's attitude towards Zhou Shengchen has slowly changed.

Her attitude now is more of a test than a temper.

She wanted to know to what extent Zhou Shengchen could indulge her.
