Su Rong drank another cup of tea and stood up.
Seeing Zhou Gu looking at her eagerly, with a look of reluctance on his face, she thought angrily that he had really spoken out now, and after making his thoughts clear and clear, he could no longer restrain himself. She said: "I still want to Let’s go to the East Palace.”
Zhou Gu wanted to say, "What are you going to do, I'll go with you.", but under Su Rong's eyes, he nodded, "Okay!"
Su Rong took two steps, turned back and said to him, "Before you leave Beijing, come see me."
Zhou Gu nodded, remembered something, and immediately said, "Wait."
Su Rong looked at him.
Zhou Gu pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Fifty miles outside the city, I have a village, built on the mountainside, and the mountains are full of plum blossoms. Aren't you, you and Ye Guixue going to enjoy the plum blossoms? Just go there?”
Su Rong raised her eyebrows.
Zhou Gu gritted his teeth and said, "When the plum blossoms elsewhere are in bud, the plum blossoms there bloom earlier than those elsewhere due to their special varieties and good soil quality. They should be almost in bloom now."
Su Rong said nothing.
Zhou Gu gritted his teeth again and said, "I rode the horse carriage twice at night to return the favor to him."
Seeing that Su Rong was silent, he said directly: "My village is large and covers a whole mountain. My grandmother gave it to me when my mother gave birth to me. There are also hot springs in that village, so I can soak in them. Xie Lin is special I envy that I have such a place in Zhuangzi. On that mountain, there are not only plum trees planted, but also peach trees, apricot trees, pear trees, hawthorn trees, and various fruit trees. But the plum trees are the most numerous, occupying half of the hillside. I have never seen them before. I like them so much that I think it would be better to plant fruit trees. Every autumn, they produce various kinds of fruits to eat. But my grandmother likes them. Plum trees are specially transplanted. She gave me her favorite Zhuangzi and plum trees to make fruit trees. Li, I can't dig up all the plum trees and not cherish them, which will make her sad. My mother once told me that one day in the future, when I get married, I can use that village as a betrothal gift for my wife. Give it to her."
When he said this, he looked at Su Rong, "You, take Ye Guixue with you! There are half a mountain of plum blossoms in that village. If you don't want to marry me, you might as well go and have a look."
Su Rong smiled and said, "Okay, is there a sign for entry and exit?"
Zhou Gu nodded, "Yes."
He walked into the house and quickly took out a jade token and handed it to Su Rong, "With this jade token, you can enter and leave the mountain. That village is called Meishan Villa."
Su Rong took it, put it in her arms, turned around and left neatly.
Zhou Gu stood there, watching her figure rise and fall before disappearing behind the high wall of the Protector's Mansion. He took a deep breath and then let out a long breath.
Ziye stuck his head out of the door and whispered: "Master, are you too generous? How can you let Miss Su Qi take Master Ye to your village to appreciate plum blossoms?"
"Why not?" Zhou Gu lowered her eyelashes, casting a shadow on her eyelashes, and said softly: "Ye Guixue is very important to her, and Ye Xiangfu is even more important to her. I can't really destroy her. Marriage is not a child anymore, it’s enough for me to be willful on my own, I can’t drag her along with me.”
Today he thought that Su Rong would fall out with him. She was such a cold and straightforward person, but because of his words, she stopped staying away from him forcefully and forced him to stay away from her. Instead, she agreed to go. Nanchu.
He really wanted her, but if she was harmed because of what he did, then he would definitely be responsible for her death.
Even if he goes to Nanchu, as long as Ye Xiangfu and Ye Guixue really think what she thinks and do what she does, and if she really falls in love with Ye Guixue, then, as the prince said, if he comes back dejected, then , and he admitted it.
Ziye sighed, "Hey, Master, you are really..."
He searched for words, and after a long while, he muttered, "Sooner or later, if you act like this, you will drive yourself crazy. You want to fight, but you are afraid of disturbing Miss Su Qi's interests. If you don't fight, you won't be able to get over the hurdle in your heart. Why bother if you make things difficult for yourself? If it were me. , If you have a conscience, feed the dog early, die early and take care of the child."
Zhou Gu was silent.
Of course he wanted to fight, but how could he compare with Ye Guixue now? He couldn't fight, what he could fight for was Su Rong's heart, to stop him from falling in love with Ye Guixue so quickly, and to give him a chance to go to Nanchu to be with her. No, it was an opportunity to allow him to get close to her.
As for anything else, he didn't dare to ask for it at the moment.
After leaving the Protector's Mansion, Su Rong went straight to the East Palace.
After she climbed over the wall and entered the East Palace, she saw Yan Huiwei sitting in the waterside pavilion fishing against the frozen lake. A big hole was cut in the ice, and he lowered his fishing rod into the ice hole.
Su Rong was surprised, "His Royal Highness, you are so free and relaxed today!"
She thought that Yan Huisheng should have such a leisurely time today. After all, the sixteen students from Jiangzhou who were on the list were all from the East Palace faction. Zhou Gu helped him lay the foundation early in the morning and attracted people to the East Palace.
Regardless of anything else, he was also the big winner today in a single round of scientific examination.
Yan Huisheng tilted his head and looked at Su Rong, "What I'm fishing for is not a fish, I'm waiting for you."
Su Rongle, "So you are trying to catch me?"
She sat down with a smile, "Your Highness specially waited for me here. Did you know that I would definitely come today?"
Yan Hui nodded, "I guess you will come. You went to the Protector's Mansion privately to find Zhou Gu. After you come out of the Protector's Mansion, you should come to the East Palace."
Su Rong was not surprised that Yan Huisheng knew about her private visit to Zhou Gu. After all, Zhou Gu was from the East Palace, and he had eyes in the Duke Protector's Palace or around Zhou Gu. She smiled and asked: "Your Highness, are you waiting? How long?"
"It's just a cup of tea." Yan replied, "I thought you would stay at the Protector's Mansion for a longer time."
Su Rong shook his head, "I don't dare to stay any longer."
Yan Huisheng looked at her and was about to say something when suddenly the fishing rod moved. He immediately raised his hand and saw a two-pound fish bit the hook and was caught by him.
Su Rong immediately said: "This fish is quite fat, I want to eat braised in soy sauce."
Yan responded with a smile, "Okay."
He unhooked the fish and threw it into the barrel. Then he threw away the fishing rod, stood up and said, "Let's go to Gu's study."
"No more fishing?" Su Rong looked at the lively fish and thought that fish in winter should be more tender and delicious.
"No more fishing. I just want to eat braised fish. This one is enough for you and me." Yan echoed and shook his head, "It's cold in winter. You didn't wear enough clothes today. It's cold here."
Su Rong followed Shan Ruliu and followed him to the study.
As the two left, some of the waiters collected the fishing rods, and some immediately sent the fish to the kitchen.
The waterside pavilion is not far from the study. Su Rong talked to Yan Huisheng all the time. When he came to the study, Qin Luan put out refreshments. When Su Rong saw that they were all her favorites, she immediately smiled. , "Thank you, Ms. Qin."
Qin Luan smiled, shook his head, bowed his knees, and retreated politely.
