Although the sky was getting darker, the blush on Zhou Jin's face was as obvious as a lantern in the night. Although there was a hint of shyness in his eyes, it was more of a deep affection.
Seeing Zhou Jin's shy look, Zuo Yuyan naturally felt like a mirror. Although she didn't know what Su Shi's attitude was, Zhou Jin was undoubtedly involved.
But at this moment, Zuo Yuyan looked extremely anxious: "Don't you know that Su Shi is already engaged to Qin Nan and will be getting married soon?"
When Zuo Yuyan mentioned Su Shi's engagement, the light in Zhou Jin's eyes suddenly dimmed, and her expression became a little sad. She looked at the flowers in the garden in despair.
Zuo Yuyan sighed again: "You have a deep love for Mr. Su, but what does Mr. Su do to you?"
Zhou Jin was already in a state of confusion at this time, but she just shook her head numbly, because when she thought about it carefully, she found that although she and Su Shi seemed to be ambiguous, the two had never talked about feelings.
She couldn't see or guess clearly about Su Shi. Even though she knew that he was very kind to her, Zhou Jin was not sure whether this kindness was proof of his feelings for her.
What's more, there is Qin Nan between them. When thinking of Qin Nan, Zhou Jin was not only upset, but also felt a dull pain.
She knew that Qin Nan was also deeply passionate about Su Shi. Every time he talked about Su, Qin Nan couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
She and Qin Nan are now like sisters, and Zhou Jin really doesn't want to hurt her.
Whether it is Zhou Jin or Qin Nan, if one of them was born into an ordinary family, there would be many ways to resolve the entanglement between the three of them. But she is the princess of Daqian and Qin Nan is the daughter of an important minister. This is almost a dead end. .
When Zhou Jinzheng was flustered and at a loss, he only heard Zuo Yuyan say quietly: "You and I are both women, and all a woman wants in this life is to meet a close person."
Zhou Jin was shocked and looked up at her. But Zuo Yuyan looked at the extremely gorgeous and unpredictable sunset, her eyes full of lovesickness.
"I married the prince when I was sixteen. Although it only lasted three years, I am already satisfied."
The setting sun shone on her face. Zuo Yuyan had affection in her eyes and a smile on her lips: "Actually, even if the prince and I can only spend one day together, I will have no regrets in this life."
Zhou Jin became silent for a moment, and Zuo Yuyan stopped talking, just looked at her deeply.
At this time, Hu Cunyi's figure appeared on the path covered with flowers. He saw Zuo Yuyan and Zhou Jin standing in front of the arch. He walked up to them quickly, then flicked his finger and said respectfully: "I have seen the Crown Princess. Pass by Your Highness the Princess."
Hu Cunyi's appearance broke the silence. Zuo Yuyan and Zhou Jin responded: "I have met Eunuch Hu."
Hu Cunyi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden. Hearing that the Crown Princess and the Princess are also enjoying themselves tonight, he sent an old slave to invite them to the garden to enjoy the flowers together."
Zuo Yuyan and Zhou Jin didn't expect that His Majesty was also in the Imperial Garden, but now that he opened his mouth, they had no choice but to say: "I would like to be able to accompany my father to the garden to enjoy the flowers."
Hu Cunyi stood up and said, "The old slave is leading the way for the Crown Princess and the Princess."
Zuo Yuyan and Zhou Jin said at the same time: "Thank you, Eunuch Hu."
The group of people entered the imperial garden, but at this time everyone was busy with their own concerns, so they could not find the time to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the garden. They were silent along the way.
At this time, Su Shi had slipped out of the house, but Kong Wenshun had not been waiting for a long time and had already returned home. When Su Shi heard that Kong Wenshun had come to the mansion, he couldn't help but patted his head and said with some self-blame: "It's my fault for this. I didn't expect that I would be delayed by something as soon as I went out today. I couldn't see Master Kong, which made him worried. Master Kong didn’t blame me, did he?”
Lin Mo looked at him strangely, because he did not expect that this incident would cause the young master to blame himself, and said hurriedly: "Master Kong knew that the young master had important matters, so he did not blame the young master. He only said that he would come to visit the young master again tomorrow."
"Is it the hour tomorrow?" Su Shi thought for a while and said with a smile, "Then I have to come back early tomorrow."
Lin Mo was startled and stared at him: "Master, are you going out tomorrow?"
Su Shi also looked helpless: "It seems that I am born to attract trouble. I finally want to go out and relax, but who knows that trouble will always come to my door."
Lin Mo naturally didn't know what he was talking about. He looked at him blankly and couldn't help but said: "Young master, you should take me with you when you go out tomorrow. As Mr. Kong said, if you encounter any accident outside, how can I tell you to him?" The young general and the veteran general will explain."
Su Shi patted his shoulder comfortingly: "With my status, if I encounter any accidents in the capital, don't worry about it." Then he sighed: "And with you by my side, other people want to It’s also inconvenient to do things.”
Su Shi's words became more and more outrageous, and Lin Mo became more confused as he listened: "What do you mean it's inconvenient for others to do things?"
Su Shi just smiled and said nothing, then raised his head to look at the horizon. The clouds in the horizon were flickering and fading, as if people's hearts were changing unpredictably.
Qin Nan looked out the window, a hint of sadness looming between her brows. Wan'er had never looked like this young lady before. She was anxious but didn't know how to solve it. Then she thought about it and quietly left the room.
After a while, Qin Zhidao appeared in front of the door and walked into the room gently, but Qin Nan remained motionless and stared into the distance.
"Is Nan'er worried about something? Why not tell your father."
Hearing his father's voice, Qin Nan turned to look at him, a sad look on his face flashed across his face, and he forced a smile and said, "Father, you don't have to listen to Wan'er's nonsense. Does your daughter have anything to worry about?"
Qin Zhidao probed and said, "But because of Su Shi?"
Qin Nan did not admit or deny it, she just stared blankly at the poem on the wall, which was the peach blossom poem she had copied by herself.
After a long time, Qin Nan looked at Qin Zhidao and whispered: "Why did my father want me to take charge of the store in Fuzhong that day?"
Although Qin Zhidao already knew that Qin Nan understood his intentions, he still said harshly: "You also know that your eldest brother is not good at business affairs, he acts impulsively, and Su Shi's plan is very important..."
Before Qin Zhidao finished speaking, Qin Nan shook his head slightly and said softly: "After this matter is settled, let the elder brother come forward."
Qin Zhidao was surprised and said, "Why?"
Qin Nan suddenly showed a hint of tiredness, and she said slowly: "Master Su has done so many things for Her Royal Highness, maybe his heart is with me. In that case, why should I force myself."
Qin Zhidao hurriedly tried to persuade her, "Daughter, are you thinking too much? Su Shi always puts state affairs first when he acts. He and Her Royal Highness...may not be what you think."
Qin Nan felt bitter for a moment, and his voice became a little sad: "He would rather be in trouble for Her Highness the Princess. Does my father still think that I think too much?"
