Zhao Yu's hand holding the chopsticks tightened, and a trace of discomfort appeared on his always steady face.

He could see that Su Qiruo had no intention of him, but Old Master Su had always been looking forward to him entering the mansion.

If Su Qi is left with only Old Master Su as a relative, he will not believe that Old Master Su will not listen.

But why was Mrs. Su Qiruo persuaded her in the end?

Lin Ziheng was also among the crowd. His life was not easy in the past two years. His family forced him to get married. He fought with his life and was able to wait until today.

But the woman he had been waiting for always treating him coldly and didn't even want to look at him again.

After the banquet, Old Master Su went back to rest. Su Qiruo, as the only master, couldn't leave directly, so he took everyone to the back garden again.

Ji Qing looked at Su Qiruo who had been silent and said worriedly: "What's wrong with you?"

“Tired.”

Su Qiruo's eyes fell in the pond where the green lotus was gone. The weather became colder and winter was coming again.

Ji Qing was startled by Su Qiruo's words and leaned over to her and asked, "You must be trying to give up, right? This is absolutely impossible!"

The Southern Chu State can now have no little emperor, but it must not be without Taifu Su.

"That's not, I won't ignore the emperor. I just feel a little tired recently and want to rest for two days quietly."

"You have worked very hard in the past two years. Since the death of the previous emperor, you have never had a day off. All the envoys left, otherwise you would take your leave for two days to go out for a walk."

As Su Qiruo's childhood friend, Ji Qing is now following her and is most aware of how hard Su Qiruo is.

At least they still have a rest every month, but Su Qiruo never has to rest.

Su Qiruo shook her head: "Grandma is old, and I will take time to spend more time with her in the future. I'd better keep this fake for later!"

"Why did you persuade the old tutor? Didn't she always want you to marry the Zhao family's son these days?"

Ji Qing lowered his voice and glanced at the crowd not far away, just in time to see Zhao Yu looking at them.

"I think Mr. Zhao is interested in you too. In terms of family background, you are a good match. Do you really don't think about it?"

Su Qiruo suddenly looked at Ji Qing and said extremely seriously: "I have been compromising all my life and have never lived for myself. Only my future husband, I hope that person is what I want."

It's not something that others think is suitable for her.

Ji Qing was stunned. This was the first time she had heard Su Qiruo say about the future Zhengjun, otherwise she would have thought Su Qiruo would not have planned to get married in this life!

"Who do you like? The palace?"

Ji Qing thought about it carefully. Su Qiruo doesn't deal with any man on weekdays. Even Lin Ziheng, the number one beauty in the capital, stood in front of her, and she looked down on her.

Apart from the princes of the aristocratic family in the capital, the only ones who can be worthy of Su Qiruo are the princes in the palace?

“Which one is it?”

Ji Qing's slightly picky eyes were flashing with gossip. Su Qiruo pushed her face away and turned her back unhappily.

"Don't talk nonsense and ruin the reputation of his nobles."

"Who else can it be if you are not in the palace? Su Qiruo, you are not interested enough!"

Ji Qing ran to Su Qiruo with dissatisfaction, wishing she could light her nose and scold her for being unkind.

There are no one else here, so there is nothing to say.

"It's not the time to talk about these things now. Pei Zifei is so old, so doesn't his family urge him? Today, all the young masters who are innocent from the family background are invited. Go and help find her peach blossoms!"

Su Qiruo sent Ji Qing to search for Pei Zifei, and sat down behind a big stone that no one saw, and closed his eyes tiredly.

Thinking that the New Year is about to be celebrated in the blink of an eye, she had to invite the Queen of Taijun to help the princes see the marriage.

Su Qiruo didn't have many dealings with the Queen of Taijun, but he also knew that he was the most sensible person in the harem.

In fact, she didn't want to take care of those princes at the beginning. She felt it was inconvenient and wanted to leave the queen of Taijun to manage the harem.

However, the old emperor was afraid of the harem's interference in politics, and even distrusts the Taijun Queen's mother's family is in great power and will not have any bad ideas to the young emperor.

So he moved to the West Palace with Taijun Hou, and he never said anything unwilling.

Compared to the uncle of the young emperor, the queen of Taijun is really sensible and knowledgeable.

Even if Su Qiruo taught several princes to study, he would not dare to actually organize their marriage.

It is more appropriate for the master in the harem to come forward. Thinking of this, Su Qiruo prepared to return to the palace and ask the Taijun to come out and talk.

"cousin……"

The hoarse and crying voice woke Su Qiruo upset, frowned unhappily, and looked at the thin man in front of him, and Su Qiruo didn't say those ugly words.

It has to be said that Lin Ziheng looks very similar to Su Qiruo's biological father. Even if he doesn't care about others' interests, Su Qiruo is unwilling to continue to be stubborn as he is not a human or a ghost.

Pointing at a flat stone opposite, Su Qiruo signaled Lin Ziheng to sit over.

Lin Ziheng was a little flattered for a moment, straightened his stiff body and sat on half of his butt, looking very restrained.

"You are not young anymore, don't let your uncle worry about you again in the future."

This was the first time Su Qiruo talked about these things to Lin Ziheng solemnly. She used to express her rejection very coldly, but she didn't expect that this child was so stubborn.

Su Qiruo suddenly felt that there was something wrong with her personality, so she always attracted some such paranoid men.

This is true for Lin Ziheng, and so is Chu Moyan.

Compared to Lin Ziheng who was held in his hand since childhood, Chu Moyan's personality is even more paranoid.

"cousin……"

Lin Ziheng's nose felt sore and tears suddenly rolled out.

But he was afraid that Su Qi would not like him, so he forced himself to make a sound.

"Since you called me a cousin, I treat you as my younger brother. I think I have been very obvious over the years. It is impossible between us. Why do you torture yourself like this? You forced your uncle to promise you not to get married, but have you ever thought about him?"

"But Heng'er just wants to wait for her cousin..."

Before Lin Ziheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Su Qiruo.

"You don't have to wait. Not to mention that I have no affection for you, I will not marry you, and I will not get married until the emperor takes power. By then, you are twenty-four or five years old, will you be a joke for the Lin family?"

Su Qiruo said this very seriously, but Lin Ziheng still cried silently without saying a word.

"Ziheng, based on your identity and appearance, as long as you are willing, there are a lot of outstanding women in Beijing waiting for you to choose from."
