Chapter 458 (2/2)

Chu Zhi glanced sideways at Han Zhan and then said to Yan Jiu, ”he has always been so casual. You don't have to take his words to heart.”

Hai Xiuyan took the opportunity to say, ”I haven't had time to introduce the princess. This is Yan Jiu, my life-saving benefactor in Jiangnan.” then he said to Yan Jiu, ”Yan Jiu, this is the princess.”

Yan Jiu was foolish when he saw Chu Zhi.

I thought sister Liuli of Qisha pavilion was beautiful enough. Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine was more beautiful than sister Liuli. The key is that the imperial concubine looked gentle and kind. Unlike other dignitaries in Beijing, she looked unattainable.

Yan Jiu was dumb and could not speak. He said dryly, ”I've seen the imperial concubine.”

Then he hugged Chu Zhi.

She paused and said honestly, ”I've been hearing about the imperial concubine. I didn't expect the imperial concubine to look so good.”

”Oh?” Chu Zhi was surprised. ”Have you heard of me?”

Yan Jiu answered truthfully, ”when I was in the south of the Yangtze River, the little Marquis often talked about you. I heard a word or two.” she looked at Han Zhan and Chu Zhi, ”you and the little Marquis are very suitable.”

There was no superfluous words and praise, but Han Zhan's heart was in full bloom. Rao Shichu Zhi couldn't help laughing.

Hai Xiuyan hurriedly said, ”Yan Jiu is not good at words. If she is rude, don't blame her son and concubine.”

”How could it?” Han Zhan smiled. ”I think she can speak better than you.”

Chu Zhi also said, ”she is a good girl with simple heart. I like her very much.”

It seems that before long, Yan Jiu will be able to marry Hai Xiuyan as a lady.

When the four met, they went shopping together. Yan Jiu didn't talk much. She just stared everywhere. Her eyes were full of strange and happy. Her bright eyes, coupled with her unsmiling face, had a kind of contrast.

In just an hour, Chu Zhi fell in love with this silent and true temperament girl and specially bought a hairpin for Yan Jiu.

”If you're bored on weekdays, you can come to Zhongyong Hou's house to find me. I have one or two friends there. You'll get along with them. We'll play together at that time, and you won't be idle.” Chu Zhi smiled.

Yan Jiu nodded, ”thank you, imperial concubine.”

Hai Xiuyan said, ”princess, this gift is too valuable.”

Seeing this, Yan Jiu didn't dare to accept it and pushed the gift back.

Chu Zhile said, ”take it with you. Don't worry about him. You people in the Jianghu said that meeting is fate. If you feel sorry, you can come back and compete with me on swordsmanship. Since you can save Lord Hai, your Kung Fu must be good.” Yan Jiu nodded: ”It's far from the sisters in the pavilion, but ordinary assassins can't beat me.”

”Would you like to come and play with me?”

This time Yan Jiu didn't answer in a hurry, but looked at Hai Xiuyan.

Hai Xiuyan was helpless: ”since the imperial concubine invited you, you can go if you want to.”

Yan Jiu's eyes lit up and nodded to Chu Zhi.

Haixiu extended the meeting and sighed in his heart.

There are many people with ulterior motives in the capital. Chu Zhi naturally doesn't have to be on guard. He's just afraid to open his head and ask Yan Jiu to think that others are as good as Chu Zhi. He's a good man. That's bad.

He is not afraid that Yan Jiu will cause trouble for himself, but he is afraid that Yan Jiu will suffer a loss.

It's all right. Later, he'd better slowly tell Yan Jiu. She has been in the Jianghu since she was a child. She's still too simple.

After a long time, it was time to enter the palace. After the four said goodbye, Chu Zhi and Han Zhan returned to the house.

After dressing up, Chu Zhi and Han Zhan sat on the carriage in the palace together.

On the bus, Chu Zhi asked Han Zhan, ”I haven't heard you mention Yan Jiu before.”

”Forget.” Han Zhan said, ”what? You care about her.”

Hearing the meaning of Han Zhan's words, Chu Zhi chuckled, ”where do I care about her? I just think Yan Jiu and Hai Xiuyan are quite matched. Maybe we can have a wedding wine soon.”

”When did you change to matchmaker?” Han Zhan said, ”but Hai Xiuyan's wedding wine still needs to be drunk. He is old and should have married long ago.”

He always stared at other people's wives all day. Fortunately, he met him. He was magnanimous and didn't care about him. Otherwise, if he was someone else, he would explode his dog's head.

Dare to make a squeaky idea and cut you every minute!
