After greeting each other, everyone took their seats.
The surprise on Zhao Shu's face turned into fright. He sat down for a while and didn't come back to his senses. Facing Su Rong, he didn't know what to say.
Lu Fengyan and Su Xingze were familiar with each other and admired each other, so they soon started talking.
Lu Weiran didn't seem to know what to say to Su Rong. He and Su Rong had only met once or twice. Today he came with Lu Fengyan, fearing that he would be caught as his son-in-law. The prince of the Duke's palace is here, and no one dares to touch him if he can be protected.
Although Su Rong was much more energetic today, she didn't have many thoughts of talking to others, so she drank tea alone and listened to Lu Fengyan and Su Xingze talking.
After a while, Zhao Shu couldn't help but ask Su Rong, "Well, Miss Su Qi, I heard that you are the princess of Nanchu?"
Su Rong thought to herself that this was really a secret known to everyone. She smiled and nodded, "That's right."
Zhao Shu asked: "It is said that the King of Southern Chu has no heirs. Will you go to Southern Chu to fight for the throne?"
He knew that the situation in the Southern Chu Dynasty was now in chaos, and the clans were fighting openly and secretly for the position of crown prince. As the only heir of the Southern Chu King, she had to fight if she wanted to return to Southern Chu to inherit the throne.
"meeting."
Zhao Shu took a breath, glanced at Lu Weiran, and asked tentatively: "Is the Second Young Master of Nanchu Ye Prime Minister's Mansion here to pick you up?"
"Um."
Zhao Shu opened up the chatterbox, and seeing that Su Rong answered all his questions, he became less restrained and calmed down, "Miss Su Qi, are you leaving Daliang soon and going to Nanchu? I heard that Ye Xiangfu The second young master will leave soon."
"He leaves first. I'll take care of some things before leaving. I'm not in that hurry." Su Rong said.
Zhao Shu nodded and wanted to ask something else. Suddenly he glanced downstairs and said, "Huh?" He was surprised, "Young Master is also here on Thursday."
Su Rong turned her head to look, and sure enough she saw Zhou Gu entering the teahouse, followed by Midi Ye.
Zhao Shu asked everyone, "Young Master Zhou is alone with his bodyguard. Should I ask him if he will wait here with us?"
Lu Weiran said nothing.
Su Xingze glanced at Su Rong and saw that she didn't say anything, so he said, "Brother Lu and Brother Zhao booked this private room. Of course you make the decision."
When Zhao Shu heard this, he looked at Su Rong again. He had not forgotten that Zhou Gu and Su Rong were engaged and broke off their engagement before. However, it is said that even after the engagement was broken off, the Protector's Palace and the Su family did not become enemies. The two houses still interacted with each other. Su Rong even saved Zhou Gu a few days ago.
Lu Fengyan also looked at Su Rong.
Su Rong couldn't help but smile, "What do you think I'm doing? Since we all know each other, please come up!"
So, Zhao Shu scratched his head and went downstairs to ask Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu came to this teahouse because when he passed by the door, he saw Su's carriage. He guessed that Su Xingze and Su Rong were about here, so he also got off the horse and entered the teahouse.
Zhao Shu welcomed him downstairs and told him his invitation. Zhou Gu nodded and followed Zhao Shu upstairs.
After everyone greeted each other again, Zhou Gu glanced at the empty seat next to Lu Weiran and the empty seat next to Su Rong, and naturally sat in the empty seat next to Su Rong.
Lu Weiran's expression paused.
Su Rong didn't get up to say hello to Zhou Gu at all. When he saw him sitting over, she didn't look at him. She didn't want to pay attention to him and just drank her tea.
Zhou Gu glanced at the tea in her hand and took the initiative to greet her, "How do you drink this?"
"Isn't this okay?" Su Rong raised an eyebrow.
"It's not impossible." Zhou Gu explained, "I heard from my aunt yesterday that you are suffering from cold and have an upset stomach, so you shouldn't drink this tea. Why not ask the waiter to make you a pot of jujube tea."
Su Rong sneered, "I didn't expect you to be quite considerate."
This is a bit strange.
Zhou Gu heard it and was silent, "I didn't know how to do it at first, but while I was recuperating, I had nothing to do and read a few more painting books."
Su Rong didn't buy it, "I'm already well. I don't need any jujube tea. I just like drinking this."
Zhou Gu glanced at her suspiciously and nodded, "Okay, you can drink this!"
He turned around and spoke to Su Xingze naturally, "I have been to Dongsi Hutong, and I thought I would wait for the results with Brother Su. Unexpectedly, my aunt said that Brother Su and Xiao Qi had left the house early to see the results, so I also came to see them. coming."
Su Xingze answered, "I thought you had to wait at home today."
After all, Zhou Gu was going to leave the capital to travel after the results were announced. He would not attend the palace examination or the Qionglin Banquet. He was just waiting for a ranking. Unlike people like them, they attach great importance to this scientific examination and want to know the ranking as soon as possible.
Zhou Gu shook his head, "It's boring to stay at home, so I came here."
Su Xing nodded.
Everyone drank tea and talked for a while, and then people came in one after another downstairs. Zhao Shu said "Hey", "Thank you, the young prince is here too."
He didn't need to ask anyone else this time, so he stood up and said, "I'll go down and thank the young prince for coming up with us."
After he finished speaking, he went downstairs.
Not long after, Xie Lin was led up by him. When Xie Lin saw the people sitting in the private room, he immediately became happy, "I saw Brother Su's car and Zhou Gu's horse were there, so I came in, but I didn't expect It’s a coincidence that we have so many acquaintances.”
He happily greeted Su Rong, "Good morning, Miss Qi."
Su Rong saw that he was wearing brand-new clothes. He looked very beautiful in this winter day. "Good morning, young prince. Is King Ruian's illness fully cured?"
Xie Lin covered his lips and coughed, "My father, he is getting well soon."
Originally he was not sick at all and pretended to be ill, but on the day when the precious concubine was exposed, he followed His Majesty to the prison and went back and forth. The night was cold and windy, and after a hard night's work, he became really ill the next day.
Su Rong poured him a cup of tea with her own hands and commented, "Hey, King Ruian is really working hard."
"Isn't that right?" Zhou Gu sat next to Lu Weiran, "Huh?" he said, "Prince Lu, why are you here?"
Lu Weiran has already entered the court as an official, so it stands to reason that he will not wait for the exam with them.
Lu Weiran smiled and said: "I am accompanying Feng Yan to wait for the list."
Xie Lin suddenly realized, slapped his head, and said to Lu Fengyan: "I forgot that the Lu family in Western Sichuan and the Chengguo Duke's family are the same family. Brother Lu, you also have a backer, so you are not afraid of being taken down as your son-in-law."
Lu Feng smiled sternly, "Indeed, my cousin said he would accompany me to read the rankings. How could I go against my cousin's kindness?"
"That's true."
Xie Lin was also a talkative and lively person. As long as he was around, there was always a lively atmosphere. He soon started chatting with Lu Fengyan, Zhao Shu and others.
After joining him, there were many people in the private room and it was very lively.
Su Rong listened quietly, drank tea quietly, and occasionally looked out the window. The streets were still crowded, thinking that if she waited to see the list today, she might have to wait for most of the day.
Zhou Gu took out a nine-link ring from his sleeve and handed it to her, "Are you bored? Play with this."
