Gentleman's Agreement

  "Jing Ze, your appearance is no less than his, and your talent is also not inferior to his..."

  "It's just that Princess Bi has taken a liking to him, and not me!" Zhuge Jingze also felt bitter, why did he have feelings for her?

  Cut off the endless troubles!

  Sighing softly at dawn and dusk, "I really don't like Huangfu Jinghao. Everything I'm doing now is for myself."

  "Princess?"

  "Shut up and listen to me, I know that among the six consorts, except for Junlian, either the Empress Dowager or the Female Emperor gave them to me, each with different intentions. I don't want to get close to any of you, just because I don't want to please the Empress Dowager and the Female Emperor. As for you...I am willing to believe that you are sincere towards me, but you also saw it, I am no longer the past's Chi Yang Princess! You like the past's Chi Yang Princess, but I will never go back to the past!"

  "Princess, no matter in the past or now, you are still a princess. No matter if you have lost your memory or not, you are still the same person!"

  Morning and evening, helpless, afraid of being unable to communicate, alas, what to do?

  For her future life, she can't let others know that she's a soul wearer, or else someone will die!

  Beidou Junlian said that Zhuge Jingze's mother was the Chancellor of Yanyu Country, and she should have won him over! Is she going to take advantage of the feelings left by Benzun?

  The feelings between men and women can't be forced, and she didn't have much confidence in herself. Maybe one day it won't be fresh anymore, Zhuge Jingze will regret it, but she doesn't want to take advantage of others' emotions.

  "Princess?"

  "Alas, great prince, if I weren't the Princess of Red Sun, would you like me?"

  Oh no!

  What does this mean, she was destined to be the Red Sun Princess from birth! Zhuge Jingze furrowed her brow, looking at the woman in front of her with confusion. No mistake, these days her performance has indeed been very different, but even if she lost her memory, even if her personality changed, she is still the Red Sun Princess!

  Although he also had some doubts about her sudden change in personality, the woman in front of him was indeed Princess Chiyo, and he had checked on her while she was asleep to confirm that it was really her.

  Seeing the puzzlement in his eyes, Chen Xi also understood that he couldn't understand. He sighed and said helplessly: "Forget it, one day you'll understand. Why don't we make a gentleman's agreement instead?"

  "What is a gentleman's agreement?"

  "From now on, let's try to understand each other. Don't treat me as the former Princess Chiyang, but get to know me again. Once you truly understand who I am now, and if you still like me, and I think you're not bad either... then I'll grant you the true title of Grand Prince. What do you think?"

  Is this the true meaning of being a great husband? Zhuge Jingze's heart skipped a beat, did she really mean to be his wife? He looked at her with shining eyes: "Princess, are you speaking from the heart?"

  "Hmm, absolutely sincere! I don't want to hide it from you either. As for you, I actually want to take you in as my own. In fact, if you're willing, you don't necessarily have to become my wife, being my assistant is the same!"

  "No, I'd like to!"

  Alas!

  Stubborn man!

  She looked at him helplessly in the morning and evening, let go of her hand, "Then it's settled!"

  "The princess really forgot about Huangfu——"

  "I forgot."

  "Uh-huh."

  Zhuge Jingze didn't say another word, he quietly guarded her, willing to wait and reacquaint himself with her.

  He knew her heart was no longer the same, otherwise she wouldn't have suddenly wanted to go to Xi City, which was beyond everyone's expectation.

  The Emperor of Xia's thoughts are unknown, but one thing is certain: he will absolutely not be acting out of pure kindness.

  Everyone in the forest set up a pot to cook rice, and they ate lunch hastily. In the morning and evening, they took out a piece of roasted meat and tasted it, "Didn't this have any seasoning?"

  "What seasoning?" Zhuge Jingze was a particular person at home, but in the wilderness, everyone knew not to be too particular, and besides, what else could you put on roasted meat, everyone ate it this way.

  "For example, put some pepper powder, salt and so on."

  "Princess, going out doesn't require so much fuss."

  "This isn't being picky, roasted meat is supposed to have salt and pepper to taste good anyway! Besides, not much salt and pepper are needed, just bringing some casually can make everyone enjoy their meal more."

  "Alright, next time we go into town I'll bring some."

  "This is right, just spread some salt on the surface of the barbecue and it will be flavorful, not troublesome at all!"

  ……

  Several people watched as the two of them chatted leisurely under a tree, but everyone lowered their heads to eat and no one looked over.

  Morning and evening are also happy to be idle. "Ah, right, you don't stay in Feng City yourself, can the person you entrust take care of the Water Smoke Girl's affairs?"

  "Don't worry, Princess, I've entrusted General Wei Chi to take care of this matter, it's all right."

  Just as everyone was focused on eating lunch, a horse-drawn carriage came rushing over, with the people inside shouting for help.

  At dawn and dusk, he glanced at that horse, which seemed to have gone mad. His slender eyebrows were slightly furrowed, "Jing Ze, go help the people on the road."

  Zhuge Jingze heard the words and his figure flashed, floating over to jump onto that big horse, tightly reining in the reins, but that high-headed big horse was still struggling with all its might to gallop wildly.

  Yexiao took one look at the horse's condition and rushed over. He didn't know what trick he used, but the horse suddenly stopped.

  The carriage suddenly stopped, and the master and servant inside rushed out. Two screams rang out, and Zhuge Jingze flew over in time to grab their clothes and land them steadily on the ground.

  The night owl was still comforting the horse, and didn't know what he had given to the big horse, which made the frantic big horse slowly calm down. Chen Xi watched this scene and nodded secretly, this person was indeed a talent!

  "Thank you, young master, for saving us. I'm grateful beyond words." The two women who were rescued appeared to be a mistress and her maid, seemingly a young lady and her servant.

  It was the young lady-like person who spoke up, her pale complexion couldn't hide her elegant appearance.

  Zhuge Jingze waved his hand and flashed open, "No need to thank me, it was the princess who let me take action."

  The woman was taken aback, and following the direction of Zhuge Jingze's departure, she took a glance. Her eyes widened instantly as she saw a red-haired blue-eyed woman. Today, apart from the Princess Chiyang of the State of Yue, no one else had such a stunning appearance!

  She walked forward with a gentle smile and curtsied slightly, saying in a soft voice: "I, Liu Fei, pay my respects to Princess Chi Yang. Thank you, Your Highness, for sending someone to save my life."

  "Don't be polite, since there's nothing going on, you all just go ahead and busy yourselves!"

  Liu Fei was taken aback, she and her maid had both received such a shock, shouldn't this princess have asked them politely about their purpose and then kindly offered to take them along?

  Chenxiu continued to eat her lunch, saving people was just a temporary excitement, but she didn't have the style of doing good deeds all the way! People should be self-reliant and after being helped by others, they should think of ways to solve their own problems. Moreover, their horses had already been calmed down by Ye Xiao, so they could continue on their journey by themselves.

  "Princess, my servant hasn't caught up yet, could you..."

  "Well then, you can just wait here for a bit, and when they arrive, you can go on your way." Zhuge Jingze also disliked people who took advantage of others.

  Liu Fei looked at Zhuge Jingze with a wronged expression, why did such a handsome man not have a good face for her? Wasn't her current appearance pitiful enough?

  At this time, the night owl stepped forward and reported indifferently: "Princess, someone had drugged this lady's horse, that's why it went mad on the road. I've already taken care of it, so this lady can rest assured to continue using the carriage."
