The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Chapter 204 Reunion

After Zheng Xun finished eating the candied hawthorn, he took You Xun and Feng Lian inside to discuss serious matters.

Zheng Shi excitedly spoke to Zheng Jiu.

Zheng Jiu listened in silence, then suddenly said, "Xiao Shi, you're stupid."

"Where am I stupid!"

“The princess isn’t playful and won’t go to Crescent Lake. Also, the pastries are for you.”

Zheng Shi was stunned: "But why?"

"I guess they wanted to make Xiao Shi happier."

"Brother Ninth..."

"how?"

I want to cry.

……

Inside the room, the three sat down in turn.

Zheng Xun casually poured them two cups of tea: "Thank you both for your hard work."

“The goddess has decreed that whatever we do is our duty and we should not complain about hardship.”

Upon receiving the message and the token, the two left their other tasks to others and immediately set off for the academy, not wasting a moment on the journey.

Zheng Xun recounted the events in Jiangyang.

"Besides accepting bribes, there's also the matter of giving my second sister an explanation, since she values ​​her Mr. and Mrs. Lou very much."

The patrolman felt somewhat ashamed.

This was half of his territory, and the people who committed the evil deeds were from Fuzhou. He felt he hadn't done enough.

The goddess finally revealed herself, only to encounter his dereliction of duty and the evil deeds of the people of Fuzhou.

He feared that the goddess would reject Fuzhou.

Zheng Xun sensed his thoughts and his tone became even gentler: "The preliminary test is important. I don't want to waste time on Jiang Yang, so I'll leave the matter to you two."

You Xun and Feng Lian quickly agreed, wishing they could swear to the heavens that they would do a good job.

Zheng Xun used to worry only about others not being obedient enough, but for the first time she felt that being too obedient and devout to her was not a good thing either.

"There's really no need for such formalities; I know your feelings..."

Just that one sentence was enough to move the two of them to tears.

Zheng Xun quickly stopped talking and said helplessly, "Please rest in the next room for the night. My men will take you to find Jiang Ye tomorrow."

After the two left, Zheng Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was about to have a sip of tea to calm her nerves, but the teapot and teacups on the table had vanished.

Zheng Xun: ?

For a moment, she doubted her own memory.

At this moment, You Xun and Feng Lian burst into laughter as soon as they were out of Zheng Xun's sight.

"Has it been taken out?"

"Correct!"

The two people, one holding a teacup and the other a teapot, were laughing so hard their eyes were almost closed.

"The tea set used by the goddess."

"If we told Qin Xiang, wouldn't she be green with envy?"

"Don't tell her."

"I can't help but want to show off."

"Qin Xiang knew they would come to steal, so she should hold back. We can't go too far, so we can only steal this once."

"Tsk, that's really harsh. What do you mean by stealing? It's a matter for believers, how can that be called stealing?"

After handing over the Jiangyang matter to You Xun and Feng Lian, Zheng Xun officially began organizing the preliminary examination.

The process and timing are the same as the preliminary examination at Wuzhou Academy.

The difference was that the students who finished answering the questions were even more resentful.

Of course, it's because most people here are not as capable as the students of Wuzhou Academy.

Someone couldn't help but complain, "Is the princess making things difficult for us? I feel like my gift was given for nothing."

"Exactly, they're young and don't know any better, so the questions they set are definitely tricky."

"Stop talking. We can't even solve the questions posed by such a young princess. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if word got out?"

"The princess is targeting us. These questions are not for ordinary people. If anyone has the ability to get full marks, I'll call him grandpa."

"It's alright, the difficulty level is about the same as the set of questions from Wuzhou Academy. Wuzhou Academy only had one question that required all answers."

After the preliminary examination, Jiang Yang was escorted back to the capital.

Feng Lian personally escorted them, taking away along with the belongings of Madam Lou and Mr. Lou.

After the preliminary examination, Zheng Xun left Liuhe Academy with Zheng Jiu and Zheng Shi.

With her mission in mind, she didn't stay in Fuzhou for long, but she would definitely return to this place.

Mythology, the concept of goddesses, the goddess's brother...

She will uncover these secrets one day.

The subsequent patrols went smoothly.

Zheng Xun arrived in Jiangzhou in the first half of the Lunar New Year.

They traveled by water and arrived at dawn, before it was fully light, but there were already many people coming and going at the dock.

As soon as Zheng Xun stepped off the boat, he saw a familiar figure.

"Princess!"

"Be humble."

"Long time no see, have you grown taller?"

Tao Heng smiled and turned around in front of her: "It is a bit high."

"You look even thinner now?"

"He's thin, but he's still quite strong."

Since meeting Zheng Xun, Tao Heng's smile has never faded.

He brought two people to help her move her things.

"What about the rest?"

“I sent them out on an errand,” Tao Heng joked. “This is a great opportunity for them to shine, and I can’t let them steal the spotlight.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Tao Heng led them to his residence.

Just as I reached the front of the house, a plum blossom suddenly peeked out from the door.

"Oh~ my precious little princess, happy birthday!"

Who else could be so flamboyant besides Wei Yanxing?

Zheng Xun paused for a moment before remembering that the original owner of this body was born on this day.

Zheng Jiu Zheng Shi: ?

birthday?

birthday!

Oh no, this isn't taught in the bodyguard manual at all!

They had no idea that they would bother to remember their master's birthday.

Is this even possible?!

They felt both guilty and remorseful.

Zheng Xun reached out to catch the plum blossom.

Wei Yanxing took a step back, and the door was pulled open from the inside. He stepped aside, and the others stood inside, each holding a box and looking at her with smiles.

A certain part of Zheng Xun's heart suddenly softened.

"Making such a big fuss?"

The ninth prince blinked: "You are a princess, this kind of entourage is nothing, we even feel that it is unfair to the princess."

Lu Mengying, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement: "Princess, we weren't by your side, were we? Did we suffer?"

"What suffering could I possibly endure? I'm perfectly fine," Zheng Xun said with a bright smile.

She never expected that Lü Mengying, who was usually not good with words, could say such things.

She didn't check the system, so naturally she didn't know that Lü Mengying had practiced for a long time in order to say something nice to Zheng Xun.

However, she didn't say what she had prepared; this sentence was blurted out after she saw Zheng Xun.

Not to be outdone, the seventh and eighth princes chimed in, "Princess! Happy birthday!"

Zheng Xun nodded with a smile.

Beside her, Tao Heng looked down at her, a warm smile on his lips: "Happy birthday, Princess."

"Thank you for your trouble."

Tao Heng shook his head: "How could I have bothered? It's the princess who should be wronged."

If it weren't inappropriate to hold a grand celebration, there would have been more than just a few simple words of congratulations and a gift.

"No matter how grand the occasion, it cannot compare to the weight of heartfelt sentiments."

Tao Heng smiled mysteriously: "However, the surprises today don't stop there. Look who's over there..."

Zheng Xun looked toward the room he pointed to, and one or two familiar figures walked out.

"Yuanjia".

"Princess."

"Happy birthday."
