Chu Zheng felt infinite emotion in his heart, and he felt once again how lucky he was.

With his current status, he naturally has no shortage of girls who like it, but he must be favored by outstanding girls like Ajiu, Guo Xiang, Li Wenxiu, and Cheng Lingsu, and his whole body and soul attachment, which still touches and cherishes him very much.

He walked to the easel next to him again, and covered it with silk cloth. Chu Zheng was about to take it off and see what Ajiu was painting when he heard footsteps coming from a distance, as well as the salutes of the palace maids.

Chu Zheng turned around and saw Ajiu running in in a hurry.

Chu Zheng was too busy during this period, and Ajiu's identity was also sensitive. Meeting more often at this time is likely to cause criticism, so Chu Zheng went to see her last time seven days ago, and he went quietly every time without disturbing anyone.

At this time, seeing Ajiu's pretty face obviously getting much thinner and his expression was a little haggard, which made people feel distressed when they looked.

"Young Master..." Seeing Chu Zheng, Ajiu wanted to rush over quickly, but after only a few steps, he stopped.

Chu Zheng was stunned, spread his arms and said, "Ajiu, why don't you come to me?"

Seeing Chu Zheng's expression as usual, Ajiu's little face returned to a little bloody color, but he still shook his head and bowed: "Mife Zhu Ma, pay homage to Chu Shuai."

Chu Zheng felt inexplicably painful and took a few steps to hug Ajiu into his arms: "Silly girl, why did you get along with me after not seeing you for a few days? Are you angry with me? I've been so busy these days, not just you, but I don't have time to see Xiang'er and the others... Forget it, I'm just a little bitch, but I don't care about you, you see your little face has lost weight."

Listening to Chu Zheng's gentle voice, tears in Ajiu's eyes rolled down suddenly. She buried her little face in Chu Zheng's arms, hugged her tightly, and sobbed silently.

"What happened?" Chu Zheng keenly discovered something wrong: "Are you wronged?"

He secretly blamed himself for not caring enough about Ajiu recently. He knew that this girl had just changed from a princess with golden branches and jade leaves to a "princess" under house arrest. Her identity changed greatly and her country was destroyed. It was the time when her family was most vulnerable, but she only went to accompany her for a while every seven or eight days, and she always stayed with her for half an hour at night...

Chu Zheng was secretly blaming himself, but when Ajiu shook his head, he said, "No, it's just my father... my father is in a bad mood."

So that's it, Chu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It is understandable to Chongzhen's mood. It would be strange if he could eat well and sleep soundly. In addition, Ajiu's relationship with him is extraordinary, so it is not difficult to understand that Chongzhen did not give Ajiu a good face.

Feeling the girl's body trembling slightly, Chu Zheng apologized: "Ajiu...I'm sorry..."

Ajiu raised his little face with tears in his eyes and whispered: "Young Master, I know everything you did is right. If an old dynasty has been completely corrupt, how can the people live a good life? I have been exploring the world over the years, knowing that the people have lived a hard life. I just hope that under your rule, you, the people can live a good life."

"I will definitely work hard. But... I really don't have much interest in being locked in the palace to deal with government affairs all day long. Professional matters must be left to professionals." Chu Zheng did not want to mention this matter more, and took Ajiu's hand and said, "Come on, see what our little Ajiu is drawing?"

As he said that, he reached out to remove the silk cloth from the easel.

Ajiu immediately let out a "ah" sound, blushing and trying to stop it, but Chu Zheng moved faster and pulled the silk down with one handful.

Chu Zheng was stunned at first, then laughed.

No wonder Ajiu is shy.

Most of the paintings on the easel were painted. A very handsome young man in a brocade dress was hugging a pretty girl and fighting with several disciples of the Huashan Sect.

Ajiu's painting skills are excellent, and everyone draws them vividly. This is the scene when Chu Zheng protected Ajiu and fought against the Huashan Sect.

However, the scene drawn by Ajiu was quite different from that time, and Chu Zheng's movements were even more cool and handsome, and the girl in her arms was not afraid, but just looked at him affectionately.

Well, it's like adding a beauty filter.

Chu Zheng pinched Ajiu's smooth little face: "So in your imagination, am I so handsome?"

When he was fighting with the Huashan School, Chu Zheng wore a human skin mask, but what he painted in the painting was his original appearance, and it was beautified a little, making it more beautiful.

Ajiu stamped her feet in shame: "Young Master, how can you secretly look at my paintings!"

"Hmm? Am I secretly? I waited for you to come before watching it openly."

"Woo...Young Master, you bully people!"

"I just like to bully you, what's wrong?" Chu Zheng looked at Ajiu, who was still blushing but blushed, and felt a little restless. This girl's current appearance is too pleasing and too tempting.

However, Chu Zheng still felt distracted. Now is the most sensitive and vulnerable time for Ajiu. If he had been pushed down before being married by a mediator, although Ajiu would not resist, he might not have left any regrets in his heart.

Chu Zheng likes this simple and cute girl from the bottom of his heart, how could she feel unhappy?

The two of them just made out in the room for a while, and then Chu Zheng personally packed up the things for Ajiu.

In the end, Ajiu didn't take away any gold, silver jewelry, luxurious clothes, but just packed the painting tools and easels, as well as the old paintings that had been spliced ​​and glued, as well as the unfinished paintings.

Chu Zheng knew that she was avoiding suspicion and was unwilling to wear princess's clothes to avoid criticism. This sensibility made Chu Zheng feel even more pity.

Just now, Chu Zheng wanted to put on a human skin mask and send Ajiu home in person, but the guard came to inform him that the military advisor Xu Xingzhi had something to do to find him, so Chu Zheng could only smile apologetically at Ajiu.

Ajiuji said sensiblely: "Young Master, you can be busy, I'll just go back by myself." When she came, she naturally had palace maids and eunuchs accompanying her.

The palace maids and eunuchs and two female masters from the Lingjiu Palace saw Ajiu walking out with a blush on their faces. Chu Zheng was holding her hand and became even more respectful to Ajiu.

Chu Shuai's protection and favor for the former Ming princess is well known to everyone.

Originally, for the disposal of Emperor Chongzhen, Empress Zhou, Ajiu, Xu Xingzhi and others proposed to be demoted to common people and sent to a small village where no one knew it, because the Zhu Ming Dynasty did not surrender, but was captured and captured. Such disposal was more conducive to the image of the Young Marshal's Army itself and to win over the hearts of the people.

But Chu Zheng disagreed, so he finally appointed Emperor Chongzhen as the king, and his family was placed under house arrest in the prosperous Liangdu...

Everyone dared not criticize Chu Zheng's decision, but they knew it very well. Therefore, even if everyone dared to be disrespectful to Chongzhen, they did not dare to neglect Ajiu's slightest.

Everyone knows that with Chu Shuai's favor for the former Ming princess, this girl will at least be a concubine in the future, and it may not be impossible for the imperial concubine to be able to do so.

In fact, Chu Zheng did pay attention for a long time. Seeing that the palace maids and eunuchs were respectful to Ajiu, he turned back to the palace to meet Xu Xingzhi with satisfaction.

In fact, Chu Zheng didn't want Ajiu to stay in Liangdu for a long time. After a while, he would take Ajiu to Chenxi Island.

It is safe and comfortable there. Ajiu, Cheng Lingsu and Shui Sheng should be together well, and they will live happier than they are now.

As for Guo Xiang's place, because the Guo family is still crowded, Ajiu's identity will still cause a lot of trouble, and it is not the best choice.

After handling the political affairs, it was already dark. Chu Zheng remembered Ajiu's worries and put on a human skin mask and quietly merged into the night without disturbing anyone.
