Chapter 178 The Prince's Consort
At this point, Su Cheng'an realized that his simple desire to create an identity for Jin Chu had gone too far. He rubbed his nose sheepishly before speaking, "I'm being inconsiderate. I'll lead the horse and ride alongside you. That should be alright, right?"
Jin Chu nodded, this is a good idea.
In this way, she can make good use of her status as the prince to attract the attention of passers-by, raise her status by taking advantage of the power of others, and also provide free advertising for her cosmetics business in the future in the north.
Then, a young man and woman, leading a tall horse, slowly came towards the gate of Youyun City.
When I got closer, I realized that in this young couple, the man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was tall and straight; the woman was elegant and beautiful, with a graceful figure; even the horses beside them were fat and strong, and looked very energetic.
Among the crowd coming and going, the two people and the horse were particularly eye-catching.
Jin Chu and Su Cheng'an could hear whispers from time to time, and occasionally young men and women would look back at them.
Both of them were good-looking and had long been accustomed to the eye-catching scenes in the crowd. At the moment, they just smiled slightly and didn't care about anything.
Following the rules, the two entered the city gate under the inspection of the guards. After taking a few steps, they suddenly heard an uncertain voice behind them, "Yizhi?"
Jin Chu felt Su Cheng'an's steps beside him pause slightly, and then he turned his head.
Two young men were standing not far away, one with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a slightly dark complexion, and the other with a refined demeanor, tall and thin.
Seeing Su Cheng'an turn around, the leading man laughed out loud and said, "Axu, you have a really good eye, it really is Yizhi!"
As he spoke, the man patted his companion on the shoulder, and the two of them strode towards Su Cheng'an.
Su Chengan took the time to whisper to Jin Chu, "I met an acquaintance! These two are my friends."
Before he could say anything more, the two men had already arrived.
A surprised smile graced the face of the thick-browed man. "Yizhi, I met the prince during the last rotation at the barracks. He said you hadn't been feeling well recently and were recuperating in Divine Doctor Liu's medicine room. I didn't expect to see you today! And you look well today, so it seems you're well again. What a blessing!"
He stepped forward again and warmly invited, "Now that Yizhi has returned in good health, it's time to make a name for himself. It's better to do it now than today. I happen to have a few bottles of aged wine at home. Why don't you come home with me..."
"Cough, cough, cough..." The young man behind him coughed twice, trying to interrupt his companion's invitation.
Unfortunately, his straightforward brother, who was overly surprised, obviously couldn't feel his good intentions.
The next moment, Chen Pengju turned around and asked in confusion, "Ah Xu, are you coughing? Why do you keep coughing?"
Zhuang Mingxu rolled his eyes helplessly, and sighed in his heart that he was so blind when he was young that he made such a rough friend.
But it was too late now. The most urgent thing he could do was to kick Chen Pengju's hind legs again without leaving any trace, and then he nodded at the girl next to Su Cheng'an, signaling the big man to take a look at the situation.
Chen Pengju, whose friend almost reminded him to death, finally glanced nonchalantly at the girl not far behind the prince.
The young man was stunned at the first sight. This girl was truly beautiful, like a fresh, white, tender and juicy gardenia.
The girl seemed to be aware of the gazes of outsiders, and her drooping eyelashes suddenly stood up. Her gaze shot towards the young man opposite her, and there was a hint of intimidation in her clear and bright eyes.
Such a young girl actually carries a hint of murderous intent!
In this brief moment of stunned silence, the girl pursed her lips slightly and gave him a polite and calm smile, instantly turning back into the distant, pure and beautiful girl.
Naturally, Su Cheng'an saw all of Chen Pengju and Jin Chu's actions.
Especially when he saw Chen Pengju's astonished look, Su Cheng'an suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart.
He stepped forward, took Jinchu's hand, and led her toward him. He introduced them to his two friends in a pointed manner, "Ah Jin, this is Guerrilla General Chen Pengju, and that is Zhuang Mingxu, the military's chief clerk. They are both good friends of mine."
Then he pointed at Jin Chu and said seriously, "This is Miss Sheng, my savior and my lifelong friend. She came to the Northern Territory at my invitation."
The two of them were originally joking, but when they heard Su Cheng'an say the eight words "savior" and "friend of life and death", their relaxed expressions immediately turned into a serious attitude.
When the two looked at Jin Chu again, their eyes were filled with consideration and solemnity.
"I never thought Miss Ye and the Crown Prince had such a deep connection. The Crown Prince is invaluable and precious to the people of the Northern Territory. We sincerely thank Miss Ye for saving us. If you are ever called upon to serve us in the future, we will be at your service without hesitation."
After saying this, Zhuang Mingxu clasped his fists and bowed to Jin Chu. Chen Pengju, who was standing beside him, also echoed, "Miss Sheng, you've just arrived. I happen to have two sisters who are about your age. If you don't mind, you can come visit my humble abode more often in the future."
Before Jinchu could speak, Su Chengan laughed and took over, "Pengju, that reminds me. Ajin, you're a new girl in Youyun City, so you're a little lonely. Pengju has many sisters, and his family has good traditions. Several of his daughters are of good character in Youyun City. After you've settled down, you can interact with them and avoid being lonely and bored."
"In that case, I would like to thank General Zhang and Lord Zhuang first!" Jin Chu accepted their kindness with a smile.
All four of them had good looks and good manners. After chatting for a while, they had already attracted the attention of many passers-by.
Su Cheng'an thought for a moment and said, "I'll take Ah Jin home today. We'll get together again when we have time. You all should go about yourselves!"
Zhuang Mingxu held Chen Pengju and said with a smile, "Then we won't delay the Crown Prince and Miss Sheng from returning home. The Princess has always liked girls, and she must be waiting anxiously at home. If the Crown Prince is free someday, we can host a banquet for him. Today, we two will respectfully see him and Miss off first."
Su Cheng'an nodded, took the reins again, and walked slowly towards the palace with Jin Chu.
"Axu, what do you think of Miss Sheng?" Chen Pengju put his arm around his friend's shoulder and asked in a low voice.
"He has an outstanding appearance and good manners. He is also the prince's savior and a friend for life and death." Looking at the two figures walking away, Zhuang Mingxu sighed slightly and spoke like chanting a mantra.
"Apart from these?" Chen Pengju continued to ask.
Zhuang Mingxu looked at his friend and asked meaningfully, "What do you want to say?"
"Hey, don't you think Yizhi is that?"
He nudged his friend's arm with his elbow, a teasing look on his face. "Didn't you see Yizhi take the initiative to hold Miss Sheng's hand? You know, Yizhi used to be known in the Northern Territory for not being interested in women. What do you think? Will our Youyun City soon have a Crown Prince's Consort?"
