Rouyao was furious. She clearly didn't say she wanted to marry him. "What nonsense are you talking about? It was just a casual remark. Do you take it seriously?"
After saying that, he turned around and went out.
A Jing was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly chased after him.
Everyone laughed. Ah Jing was really straightforward. How could he say such words in front of so many people? Even if Rouyao was informal, she had promised to get married in private. It was against the ethics, so how could she admit it
"You have to teach Ajing a lesson. He is so reckless that the fat meat in his mouth may fly away." Lingli said to Qin Zhou with a smile.
"There's nothing I can do," Qin Zhou shook his head. "I taught him to adapt to local customs and think twice before doing or speaking, but he just can't remember."
After all this commotion, the banquet was disbanded.
Seeing that Murong Jie was a little tired, Zi'an smiled and said, "Okay, after all the noise, let's go back to our rooms. If you are in love, find a small corner to enjoy the flowers and the moon."
These words were clearly directed specifically at Zhuangzhuang and Xiaoxiao. Before dinner, the two had said that they wanted to go out for a walk and take in the night scenery of the town. Zi'an was listening nearby.
Zhuangzhuang glared at Zian and said, "Why are you talking so much? You just got better from your injury, so you start to talk nonsense, right?"
"Don't take it personally. I'm not talking about you guys. I'm just saying, can't Qin Zhou and I go out for a walk?" Zi'an was just joking, but because everyone had been a little too self-indulgent in the past two days, she couldn't remember Qin Zhou's feelings for her and blurted out the words.
After she said that, she was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked at Qin Zhou, but Qin Zhou still held the wine glass, as if he didn't hear her words "I have feelings for you."
They all went back to their rooms. Zi'an said in annoyance, "I just said the wrong thing."
Murong Jie's face turned a little red. He had just recovered from his injury, but he drank two cups tonight. Zi'an knew that he was happy and ignored him.
After hearing what Zi'an said, Murong Jie thought for a moment and said, "I think you should talk to her and see if she can let it go. This will not benefit her."
In the past, he might not agree with Zi'an taking care of Qin Zhou's feelings, but seeing how much Qin Zhou has given to Zi'an these days, he was somewhat moved. However, Qin Zhou's efforts were destined to be in vain.
If I could enlighten her, she would let it go, which would be better for her.
"These things should not be pointed out." There was some sympathy in Zi'an's eyes. Even if she was slow in emotions, she could still detect what was in Qin Zhou's mind. How could she have the heart to expose it
"It's better to point it out than it is now. She's actually feeling bad." Murong Jie sighed softly, staring at Zi'an's beautiful face, "Put yourself in her shoes. If you find a good match, I'd probably feel the same way..."
Zi'an's face was shocked, "You..."
"After going through so much, how could I not have changed at all? I am indeed moved by Qin Zhou." Murong Jie said this, feeling a little strange and awkward in his heart.
After a pause, he said, "While we are still in the capital, we still have the time to ourselves. Let's make these things clear first. Qin Zhou should also make a decision."
"Isn't it about the Beimo case..." Zi'an hesitated for a moment, and felt that the case might not be that important if Qin Zhou was cruel enough.
"The case is only temporary. The more she is with you, the more she will abuse you and wear down her spirit. She will be greedy for this peaceful and warm life. I am afraid that when she leaves for home, she will be reluctant to leave. I guess that although Prince Luo seems to be in control of the situation now, he is not as scheming as Chu Jing. Besides, there is the Qin family behind Chu Jing. Qin Zhou will go back eventually."
The couple seldom had in-depth discussions about Qin Zhou's issue, but now that they had spoken, Zi'an understood everything immediately.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Okay, I'll go talk to her."
"Speak carefully, Qin Zhou is a very arrogant person." Murong Jie said.
"I know. I'll think about it."
Zi'an helped him onto the bed, and Murong Jie said, "I'm fine now, you can go now."
"Okay." Zi'an lowered his head and kissed him, "Seventh Brother, thank you."
If any other man knew how Qin Zhou felt about her, he probably wouldn't be so generous.
He threw back the quilt and lay down, "Anyone who treats you well will be respected by me."
Zi'an smiled emotionally, covered him with the quilt, and turned to leave.
Qin Zhou drank too much tonight. After returning to her room, she didn't take off her shoes and half-lay on the bed. When she heard the knock on the door, she said, "Come in."
The door was not closed, but ajar.
Zi'an pushed open the door and saw that the lights in the room were dim. "Are you going to bed?"
Seeing that it was her, Qin Zhou perked up and sat up, "Not yet, I haven't showered yet."
She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Zi'an, "What's the matter?"
Zi'an sat on a chair beside the table, took off her hairpin and picked up the wick. The flame suddenly jumped up, illuminating her face brightly.
"It's okay, I came over to chat with you." Zi'an turned his head to glance at Qin Zhou and said with a smile.
In fact, she had never organized her words and didn't know how to start. The moment she walked in, she regretted coming here. She was afraid that she would say something wrong.
She knew that the significance of Lao Qi asking her to come and have this talk was not to change Qin Zhou's sexual orientation, but that she loved someone who already loved someone.
This made it even harder for her to speak.
"Well! What do you want to say?" Qin Zhou stood up and sat next to Zi'an. Her hair was not disheveled, she was still heroic, and her deep eyes were like two deep ancient wells.
Zi'an was still considering how to start, but Qin Zhou laughed, "I didn't expect you to have an extra disciple on this trip. It's really unpredictable."
Zi'an thought of Wu Yanzu and couldn't help but smile, "This is not hard to predict. Besides, I am not qualified to accept a disciple. If he really wants to learn, I will give him some pointers."
Qin Zhou poured the tea and pushed it to her, saying, "It's just right that you can't sleep and come to chat with me. I'm also a little upset."
"Is it about Beimo's affairs?" Zi'an asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Not entirely." Qin Zhou seemed a little worried, looking at Zi'an and said, "The emperor proposed to me before."
"Ah?" Zi'an almost spit out his tea, his eyes widened, "Emperor? Which emperor?"
Qin Zhou smiled, showing his white teeth, "Of course it's my Emperor of Beimo, could it be the sick emperor of your Great Zhou?"
Zi'an said, "I haven't heard you say that before?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, so I didn't say it."
"Have you thought about it now?" Zi'an was stunned. He felt that this matter was said too suddenly. Maybe Lao Qi didn't know about it
Qin Zhou nodded, "Yes, I figured it out."
Zi An paused and asked tentatively, "What about you to Emperor Kang Ping?"
Qin Zhou showed a hint of girlish delicacy, "Maybe, I like him a little bit, too?"
Zian was dumbfounded, is this...really
"you like him?"
"The emperor is a very good man. I believe he will be very good to me in the future. He is a good man worthy of entrusting my life to." Qin Zhou said.
Zi'an found it strange because they had previously discussed whether women must get married.
"At that time, my family arranged a marriage between me and General Long's grandson, but I disagreed. I probably had feelings for the emperor at that time, but I was just too slow to notice it."
