The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 163 A Dream 11 Years Ago

It was beyond Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao's expectations that these two people would walk together.

Relying on his intuition, Jiang Nian concluded that there must be a story between the two of them. He took Ning Yuezhao to perform his lightness kung fu, and jumped up to a nearby peach tree without a sound. Although they were tall, they could clearly see every move of the two of them.

Xu Zhi and Qin Suqian didn't notice Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao's arrival, but the two of them said something in front of them, and it seemed that they were having an unpleasant affair, so Xu Zhi turned around and wanted to leave.

"Stop!" Qin Suqian yelled sharply, her usually indifferent brows and eyes were stained with a trace of sullenness.

"What else is there for Qin Shangshu?"

Xu Zhi has always followed the wind, but it is rare for him to show such indifference.

"Is that why you don't want to see me?" Qin Suqian stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve.

Hearing her words, Jiang Nian, who was hiding in the tree, almost slipped and fell down. Isn't this what the infatuated women in the novels often say?
When Ning Yuezhao was recovering from illness, Xingqi also read a lot of novels, not to mention the stories about gifted scholars and beauties that Weifu heard in Feng Tea House.The reaction at this moment was no different from Jiang Nian's. The two glanced at each other with strange expressions on their faces.

Xu Zhi frowned and looked at her, and finally pulled back his robe with all his strength, and said coldly: "Qin Shangshu, please respect yourself!"

"Sir, have you forgotten this place?" Qin Suqian clenched her cuffs tightly and couldn't help asking in a trembling voice, "Ten years ago I was awarded a Jinshi, and I first entered the court as an official. , we strolled together in this rare peach grove. That was the closest I have ever been to you in my life. I have served the same dynasty as an official for ten years, but you are getting farther and farther away. I don’t understand, why do you want to do this?”

Qin Suqian was known as the "Iron-faced Lady Shangshu" in the imperial court, who would have thought that she would have such a side that cannot be restrained?It's really embarrassing.

Xu Zhi trembled and turned around slowly, "Suqian, I'm old enough to be your father, you should find a man of your age to marry and have children, instead of wasting time in court because of me."

Peach blossoms fluttered with the wind, touching the heads and bodies of people under the trees.

Qin Suqian stood where she was, mechanically shaking her head, "Isn't it good to be young? I don't think you're older than me."

She still remembers that the peach blossoms were shining and the breeze was gentle that year.He was dressed in a black gray gown. Although there were slight spots on his temples and marks of time between his brows, he could still clearly distinguish the handsome appearance of his youth. After the precipitation of time, he became more mature and elegant.

She is his protégé, and after entering the imperial court, she had to remind her many times. Overtly and privately, she had a lot of contact, and unknowingly, some feelings that should not have developed.

The scenery was beautiful that day, and for some reason, after he said "The peach blossoms are shining brightly", she then said, "The son is returning home, suitable for his family. Goddess has a heart, does King Xiang have a dream?"

After hearing this, Xu Zhi acted like he had seen a ghost, and said that she was "bewildered", and left in a hurry, and then gradually alienated her.

Over the past ten years, she has worked hard and finally entered the sixth department and took charge of the Ministry of Rites, but he avoided her at all times except for official business.

"Do you think this is fate?" Seeing Xu Zhi's silence, Qin Suqian smiled and said casually, "Today, I saw the affectionate appearance of His Majesty and the emperor's husband at the banquet, so I wanted to revisit the old place. Met you. My concubine intends to marry me, even if I am ruthlessly abandoned, I will not give up!"

Xu Zhi shook his head again and again, and a trace of emotion appeared on his smooth and sophisticated face, which had been polished by the disputes between the ruling party and the party, "Suqian, I already have a wife and children. concubine?"

Qin Suqian moved her lips, "Am I not as good as your wife?"

"You were also a female Jinshi back then, and you were highly appreciated by the late emperor. She was excellent in both knowledge and appearance, so she was naturally inferior to you. But you also know that I came from a humble background. Abandon her after the high position is in hand."

Qin Suqian's face was pale, and her eyes were foggy, "So it's not because I'm bad, but because I'm so good?"

"When I got close to you back then, I sincerely regarded you as my daughter, so I have been teaching Yun'er with all my heart, and I don't want to confine her to the boudoir. That girl is very similar to you."

Qin Suqian frowned and remained silent, thinking of the girl who was so popular at the Qushui Banquet, she was stubborn and refused to admit defeat.

She pursed her lips, "It would be nice if it was really me and your daughter."

"You are still young, find a suitable person to marry, don't waste your time for me anymore."

At the end, Xu Zhi said sincerely.

Qin Suqian waved his hand wearily, "Go, let me be alone for a while."

Xu Zhi was a little worried, "You..."

Qin Suqian turned around, not wanting to say more.

With a sigh, Xu Zhi turned and left.

Qin Suqian stood there for a while, because of the angle, Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but felt that her back was very lonely.

Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao exchanged glances, performed lightness kung fu silently and left.

"Today really opened my eyes. The cold-faced and cold-hearted Qin Shangshu actually fell in love with Xu Cifu."

After leaving the distance, Ning Yuezhao sighed with emotion.She has been involved in government affairs for the past few years, so she doesn't know the secrets among the courtiers many years ago.

Jiang Nian was also very surprised, "I heard from my mother back then that in my father's imperial examination, the three first-class Jinshi were all among the best handsome men. Although they are no longer young, they can still see that they were young when they were young. Handsome silhouette."

Ning Yuezhao smiled strangely, "Father and Taifu Yan, I can tell. As for Xu Cifu, I didn't realize that the way he stood upright under the peach tree just now is a bit elegant."

Since she entered the court, she had seen Xu Zhi's sleek and sophisticated appearance, and she couldn't associate him with being handsome.

Jiang Nian rubbed her hair with a smile, and said helplessly, "You!"

Ning Yuezhao leaned on him, and said with emotion: "Qin Shangshu has been alone for so many years, and it's because of such a person, really..."

"I don't know the origin of the love, but it goes deeper and deeper..." Jiang Nian suddenly said, "It's a pity that the goddess has a heart, and King Xiang has no dreams."

Ning Yuezhao nodded, "Xu Zhi is a bit annoying when he is smooth, but he is quite affectionate towards Madam."

A sneer curled up at the corner of Jiang Nian's mouth, and he did not agree, "Not necessarily, don't forget that he came with his family today. Qin Shangshu is alone, and it is understandable to come here to remember, how did Xu Zhi leave his family alone? Came to 'encounter'?"

Ning Yuezhao suddenly realized, "I didn't think of this. You mean that Xu Zhi approached Qin Shangshu with ulterior motives, because he had a conspiracy?"

Jiang Nian held her shoulders tightly, "Chunwei's examination will start soon."

Ning Yuezhao frowned slightly, "You mean..."

Jiang Nian slanted his eyebrows and nodded.

The people in the Ministry of Rites have been cleaned by them. If someone wants to make a breakthrough, they can only find another way.A woman with an unforgettable old relationship is a good target to use.

"I really appreciate Xu Miaoyun's arrogance, and I hope Xu Zhi won't ruin her future in a moment of confusion."

　I have to take a good look at the ideas behind, so this chapter is relatively thin.
