So Su Jinxia became quite idle, eating and drinking her fill every day, basking in the sun, living a life better than that of an immortal.
Su Jin rolled over on the recliner, feeling a bit bored.
Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen Shen Qianxue, probably more than half a month.
Since Shen Qianxue became the Imperial Censor, he has been so busy that Su Jinxia rarely sees him except for the occasional meeting during official business.
"well!"
Su Jin sighed softly.
Suddenly, two young maids passed by Su Jin with shy smiles, seemingly talking about something happy.
Su Jin called them over and asked what was going on. She learned that it was Qixi Festival today and the little servant had received a small gift.
Su Jin slammed her fist on the chair, actually envying a little maid.
“Qixi Festival…” Su Jin looked down at the outside of the palace walls, “Qixi Festival in the capital must be very lively.”
Su Jinxia revealed a sly smile.
As night fell, Su Jinxia wandered alone through the crowds.
Wow~
The lights were dazzling, the crowds were surging, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares, acrobatics, laughter, and cheers filled the air.
Su Jin walked up to the high building, leaned on the railing and looked out at the singing and dancing in the center of the lake, her eyes filled with joy.
Su Jin hadn't experienced such a lively festive atmosphere in a long time, and she felt her heart flutter with joy.
"This young lady."
Suddenly, a pleasant male voice rang in Su Jinxia's ear.
Su Jin turned around in surprise and saw a man who looked exceptionally clean and handsome.
The man, somewhat shyly, timidly offered a comb, saying, "This is for you; I hope you'll accept it."
The man had been watching Su Jin for a long time. She was truly beautiful, like a sparkling jewel in the night, exceptionally radiant.
Moreover, her eyes, her smile, and her demeanor were all so unique, like a rare orchid in a secluded valley, ethereal and otherworldly.
Su Jin's eyes lit up with surprise and delight. "Is it for me?"
The man nodded, looking at Su Jin with anticipation.
Su Jin smiled, revealing her teeth, and gently reached out her hand to take it.
Suddenly, a large hand grabbed Su Jin's slender wrist.
Su Jin looked up and saw... Shen Qianxue.
Shen Qianxue, dressed in a black outfit, stood there with an aura that could intimidate many people.
The man was also startled and was momentarily speechless.
Shen Qianxue spoke calmly, "My wife is playful, please don't misunderstand, young master."
"Oh!" The man nodded blankly and walked away absentmindedly.
Su Jinxia felt rather regretful.
A little comb...
Shen Qianxue reached out and pinched Su Jin's fair and tender cheek. "What? Am I not as good-looking as him? Are you going to fall for someone else so quickly?"
Su Jinxia picked up a strand of hair and twirled it around her finger, complaining, "You never come to keep me company, and you won't even let me look at other handsome guys."
"Little brother?" Shen Qianxue gritted her teeth, the words spitting out from between her teeth, and took a step forward, almost touching Su Jin's lower body.
Su Jin nimbly turned around, leaned on the railing and looked down, stubbornly saying, "That's right, I stay in the palace all day and I never realized there were so many handsome young men in the capital."
Shen Qianxue continued forward, placing one hand on the railing and pulling Su Jinxia into her arms.
Su Jin felt the heat of the chest against her back and trembled slightly.
Shen Qianxue lowered her head slightly and whispered in Su Jin's ear, "You heartless little thing, who am I working so hard for all day, and you actually blame me for not having time to spend with you, and instead you come to see other men!"
Su Jin felt slightly guilty, and her eyes inadvertently glanced at Shen Qianxue's hand.
"Are you injured?"
Shen Qianxue immediately grasped her hand.
Su Jin quickly took Shen Qianxue's hand to look at it. Helpless, Shen Qianxue had no choice but to open her hand.
A bright red scar in the center of his palm was quite shocking.
Su Jin felt heartbroken. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Of course I was afraid you'd worry, but it seems I was just being presumptuous. You only have other guys in your heart." Shen Qianxue's eyes fell, her face clearly showing her jealousy.
Su Jin wrapped her arms around Shen Qianxue's waist, laughing with an air of utter indifference.
"There are no other handsome guys, the only handsome guy in my eyes is you."
"Hmph!" Shen Qianxue wasn't buying it; she always tried to brush him off with a few sweet words.
"Don't be angry." Su Jinxia took Shen Qianxue's hand and put it to her mouth. "I'll blow on it for you."
A gentle breath brushed against my palm, tickling me.
Shen Qianxue's abdomen tightened slightly, and his eyes darkened. He leaned down and said softly, "In the past six months, I've suffered far more injuries than this. Is this how you're going to dismiss me?"
Su Jin immediately tensed up, "Where else are you injured? Why didn't you tell me?"
"It's not too late to say it now." Shen Qianxue's voice grew even lighter, carrying a hint of seduction.
"Is the injury serious? Let me see." Su Jinxia didn't notice Shen Qianxue's increasingly gloomy gaze, and pulled up his sleeve to take a look.
Shen Qianxue pressed down on Su Jin's anxious little hand, "Come home with me, I'll go to your house and see you."
Su Jin nodded quickly, "Okay!"
Shen Mansion, Shen Qianxue's room.
"Didn't we agree that we were just checking on the injury?" Su Jin's aggrieved voice came out.
"Having seen my body, aren't you going to take responsibility for me?" Shen Qianxue's voice was low and seductive.
Su Jin swallowed hard. "Can you be a little gentler on the responsibility?"
Shen Qianxue slightly widened the corners of her mouth, "Okay!"
The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Su Jin realized with a profound realization: a man's words are deceitful.
The one-year period has finally come to an end.
Shen Qianxue requested to be transferred from Kyoto to Linan.
Su Jin married Shen Qianxue and went together.
Zhou Chen and Han Qing stood atop the high city tower, watching the long procession gradually disappear into the distance.
Shen Qianxue and Su Jinxia did not get married in the capital because they both had a regret in their hearts.
Thus, on the eighth day of the first lunar month in Lin'nan, Su Jinxia was able to marry from her parents' home as she wished. With an eight-bearer sedan chair and a ten-mile-long red bridal procession, she, a girl from an ordinary family, married the man she loved.
end!
