Zi'an shook his head apologetically, "I don't know actually. I hardly ever go out to play. Do you want to go out? How about I take you out for a walk some other day?"
Qin Zhou shook his head and said, "No, I'm just asking, you grew up in Beijing, and you've never been out for a walk?"
"Before getting married, a woman cannot go out and show her face. After getting married, she has many things to do and is too lazy to go out."
"Take advantage of the Regent's recent free time and go out for a walk. The more you walk, the more cheerful your heart will be." Qin Zhou said earnestly.
Zi'an then realized that she was afraid that she would hurt herself, so she wanted her to go out and relax.
Zian was touched, "Yes, thank you!"
After Murong Jie walked out, he walked around the entire West Garden.
From the defense of the West Garden, the side doors, to the distances between the palaces, everything was clearly understood.
He had been to Xiyuan before, but there was no need to pay attention to these things before. This time was different. He needed to redeploy defenses in Xiyuan and do it secretly.
Zi'an actually blamed him wrongly. He didn't leave because he felt uncomfortable, but he wouldn't be able to step into Xiyuan often in the future, so he had to get to know Xiyuan clearly to prevent any accidents.
In fact, if it were any other day, Zi'an wouldn't have thought anything about it, but because of the unpleasantness that happened before, which caused her to be in a state of confusion, she was having these wild thoughts.
When Murong Jie came back, Zi'an and Qin Zhou were already having a very happy conversation.
The awkward atmosphere when they just met disappeared, and Qin Zhou smiled happily because Zi'an also became much more cheerful.
"What did you say? You sound so happy?" Murong Jie asked as he entered the room.
Zi'an smiled and said, "We were just talking about Ajing and Rouyao, and as soon as we talked about it, Ajing ran out. He's so shy."
Murong Jie laughed and said, "No wonder I saw him running away just now, his face was still red."
Qin Zhou smiled and said, "He doesn't admit it."
Zi'an said: "He didn't admit it, but we all saw it."
Qin Zhou shook his head. "Even if it's true, he won't admit it. He got drunk once the night before, and I asked him about it, but he didn't want to admit it. He felt that he was not worthy of Rouyao. He said that he didn't like Rouyao, but just wanted to protect her."
Zi'an suddenly had an idea, "Why don't we give him a try?"
Murong Jie glanced at her and asked, "What bad idea do you have now?"
Zi An was happy, "It's not a bad idea, I just want to test his heart."
Qin Zhou also became interested. "Actually, Rouyao is really good. It would be great if Ajing could be with Rouyao."
She always felt guilty towards Ajing. In Beimo, someone of his age would have been married and had children long ago.
However, he always followed her in the army. Ajing's parents had said many times that they hoped he would get married soon.
"Will Rouyao... like him?" Qin Zhou was a little worried again, afraid of hurting Ajing's feelings.
Zi'an said: "Rouyao likes Su Qing now, but she has slowly moved on. If there is someone to accompany her, she can spend time with him slowly. Even if she doesn't have feelings for him now, she will have them in the future. Love grows over time."
Qin Zhou nodded, "You are always right, then let's give him a try."
Zi'an said, "Okay, after we leave, you tell him tomorrow that Rouyao is heartbroken and wants to leave the capital alone. I will also find an excuse to let her leave the city tomorrow."
Qin Zhou nodded, his face brightening, "Okay."
As they talked about other people's affairs, the atmosphere among the three of them became much better. They chatted and laughed, and half an hour passed.
Qin Zhou ordered people to prepare a meal, and Murong Jie and Zi'an ate before leaving.
When they left, Qin Zhou saw them off, Murong Jie walked in front, and Zi'an and Qin Zhou walked behind.
Qin Zhou lowered his voice and said to Zi'an: "Don't quarrel with him. Only when a couple is united can they get through the difficulties. He has you in his heart, really."
Zi'an was stunned, "Do you know what the conflict between him and I is?"
"I can see that," Qin Zhou smiled slightly, his face a little sad, "I should know what you are thinking."
Zi'an was touched, "Thank you, Qin Zhou."
Qin Zhou still maintained his smile but did not speak any more.
After seeing the two off, Qin Zhou walked back slowly, looking lonely.
How could she be happy in a foreign country? However, she couldn't show any discomfort in front of Zian.
Although I don't know if she will worry about me, I always hope she is happy.
"Prince, are they gone?" A Jing asked, holding a bucket of water in his hand, when he saw Qin Zhou walking back by himself.
"Let's go, what are you carrying water for?" Qin Zhou asked.
Ah Jing laughed, "The roses in the yard look like they're about to bloom, but the soil is dry. I'll water them a little, so they don't wither."
"When did you start to like roses? When did you become a flower cherisher?" Qin Zhou was stunned.
Ah Jing put down the water, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "It's not that I like it, but when I and the county lady were fleeing, we hid in a village. There was a rose blooming on the wall of the house. She kept staring at the rose and said it was very beautiful."
"Is it for Rouyao?" Qin Zhou understood, but then waved his hand and sighed, "Forget it, don't water the flowers. She may not be able to see them even if they bloom."
"Why can't she see it?" Ah Jing said with a smile, "When the flowers bloom, I will go and ask her to come and see them."
"She... Oh, forget it, just go and water the plants." Qin Zhou put his hands behind his back, sighed heavily, and went in.
Seeing this, Ah Jing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after him, "Prince, do you know something? What happened to the county lady?"
Qin Zhou looked at his anxious face and hesitated to speak, "Forget it, it's nothing."
"Tell me, what happened to her?" Seeing her like this, A Jing became even more anxious. Something must have happened to the county lord, right
"It's okay, don't worry. I'll go to sleep first." Qin Zhou said and quickly returned to the room.
A Jing opened his eyes wide and ran over, but the door was closed and he didn't dare to go in. He just kept turning around outside the door.
He turned around for half an hour, but Qin Zhou still didn't come out.
"Slept for so long?" Ah Jing was like an ant on a hot pan, running around anxiously.
He began to cough, sneeze violently, and occasionally screamed, trying every low-key way to wake Qin Zhou up.
Qin Zhou turned over gently on the chaise longue with a leisurely smile on his face. This boy denied it with his mouth, but his heart was not like that. He even dared to lie to me
The coughing outside the door became louder and more frequent. Qin Zhou closed his eyes, put his hands behind his head, and dozed off.
The depressed mood in recent days became cheerful because of Zi'an's arrival.
It’s a pity that she can’t come here often. Naturally, we can’t ask her to come here often, as it will harm her.
Zi'an and Murong Jie left Xiyuan, and the carriage headed out of the city.
Because Qin Zhou livened up the atmosphere, the two of them were no longer as awkward as before and started chatting and laughing in the carriage.
Xiaosun heard it outside and a smile appeared on his worried face.
