Chapter 154 Ah Cheng I Miss You So Much
"Thank you Suzhou!"
Su Cheng stretched out her arms and threw herself into the man's arms. She was immediately enveloped by the faint scent of pine and bamboo, and her cheek rested against his still cool clothes.
The breeze blew her hair, scratching Xie Suzhou's face gently like a kitten's paw. He didn't try to avoid it. His eyes drooped, his gaze fixed on the silver magnolia hairpin in her hair, his Adam's apple rolling.
He was obviously at a loss at the sight of his beloved throwing herself into his arms. Xie Suzhou's peach blossom eyes sparkled, as if he had received some great reward.
"My God, hugging each other in public, how shameless!"
"Exactly. It's still raining heavily, and this young couple didn't know how to go home and spend time together."
"You know what, this man is really handsome. Women can't see his face clearly, but his figure is also very good. He looks quite pleasing to the eye."
The passersby pointed and talked about the two people hugging each other in the street. Xie Suzhou took a look and everyone fell silent.
"Thank you Suzhou."
Hearing the person in his arms calling his name, Xie Suzhou retracted his gaze and responded softly, "I'm here."
Su Cheng's little face was buried in his arms, and her voice was muffled, because a hint of sob could be heard, "You passed the exam."
Governor Xie Suzhou spread his sleeves and held her in his arms, resting his chin on her hair. He suddenly smiled, "I know."
Su Cheng grasped the cloth at his collar and whispered, "It's Jie Yuan, the most powerful one among thousands of students."
Feeling her heartbeat, Xie Suzhou still smiled and gently put his arm around her waist, "I know, Ah Cheng, I miss you so much."
"Mom, Uncle's umbrella is too small. He's soaked through."
The little girl's voice came from behind, and Su Cheng regained some of his senses. He looked up and saw that Xie Suzhou's left shoulder was indeed wet, and the paper umbrella in his hand was tilted towards himself.
Su Cheng's face felt a little hot, and she made a move to get out of his arms, but the big hand around her waist suddenly tightened. She opened her eyes helplessly, and the man still had a faint smile on his lips.
"Xie Suzhou, let go." Su Cheng frowned. Even though his cheeks were burning, he had to keep a straight face to maintain his image. "Your shoulders are wet."
"It's okay." Xie Suzhou shook his head slowly, with a rare stubborn look on his face. "Hold tighter, then you won't get wet."
"Suzhou, that's enough."
Wang Lin's face suddenly appeared in a carriage not far away. He looked over here with a helpless look on his face. "We are waiting."
Xie Suzhou paused, then reluctantly let go of his hand and moved most of the umbrella to Su Cheng.
"Lord Wang?" Su Cheng was stunned for a moment when he saw his old acquaintance. He whispered, "Why is he in the capital?"
"Not only Lord Wang, but even the prince is here too." Xie Suzhou glanced at her sideways, his eyes softening. "Passing the imperial examination means I'm qualified to be an official. After the Ministry of Personnel's selection, if there's a vacancy, it will be assigned to me."
"The prince has appointed me as a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, and I will take up the position within seven days."
Su Cheng's eyes lit up, "What rank?"
Xie Suzhou was amused by her appearance, and his aura became even gentler. "Fifth rank."
Su Cheng was overjoyed, but before she could be happy for a while, she saw two people getting off a carriage not far away. She immediately straightened her expression, bent her knees slightly, and saluted them.
Yan Ci nodded politely at her, his eyes swept over the two of them, a meaningful smile on his lips, "Master Wang, look, isn't my sister-in-law prettier now?"
Wang Lin narrowed his eyes and nodded seriously, "It seems so... Could it be because the Feng Shui of the capital is good for health?"
Yan Ci glanced at Xie Suzhou, who was standing beside her as if no one was around, and couldn't help laughing. "Where in the capital is there a place to raise a family?"
"Ah Cheng!"
A crisp voice sounded, and before Yan Ci and Wang Lin could react, the moon-white light rushed towards Su Cheng.
When Su Cheng saw the person coming, a smile appeared in his eyes, "Qingchan? Why are you here too?"
"I haven't seen you in a while. I'm so bored in Ganping alone." Wang Qingchan shrugged, looking at her with eyes full of dependence, like a sister-con. "Brother Suzhou is cheating. We all came here by carriage, but he thought it was too slow halfway and insisted on riding a horse to come to you."
"Otherwise, I would be the first one to see Ah Cheng." Wang Qingchan hugged her slender waist and spoke coquettishly in a low voice.
A flash of coldness passed across Xie Suzhou's face, and his eyes were fixed on the hand that was messing with her waist.
Su Cheng pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes full of helplessness towards her, "The mountains are high and the road is long, it won't take me long to get back, why did you go all the way here in vain?"
"I didn't return to the capital just to see you." Wang Qingchan grinned and whispered in her ear, "The Third Prince has returned to the palace. I didn't attend the welcoming banquet held there, but Concubine Zhe still sent me a message, inviting me to the palace for a chat. I'm sure she wants to find a wife for the Third Prince."
Wang Qingchan sighed softly, without a trace of admiration for the prince's consort on her face. "I have no interest in the palace or the palace, but I didn't want to offend Concubine Zhe, and I wanted to come and see you, so I returned to the capital."
"Third Prince?" Su Cheng lowered his voice, frowning and asking, "Have you heard about the fire in Zhongcui Palace?"
"There was a fire in Zhongcui Palace?" Wang Qingchan was stunned for a moment, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes. "When did it happen?"
"A few days ago, the fire was very fierce, and Concubine Zhe almost died in it." Su Cheng looked at her steadily and said softly, "Now is not a good time for you to enter the palace."
Wang Qingchan covered her mouth, hiding the surprise in her eyes, and murmured softly, "Thank goodness you told me, otherwise I would have brought bad luck upon Concubine Zhe."
"What are you discussing? You're being so secretive." Yan Ci walked over slowly, a gentle smile on his lips, and whispered, "I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a long time. Would you be so kind as to go to Zuixianlou for a gathering?"
"My dear, what you said really embarrasses me." Su Cheng smiled with curved eyebrows and clear eyes. "We can eat at any time. The most urgent thing is that I want you to come with me to meet someone."
Yan Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Who are you going to see?"
-
Tinggu Lane
Su Cheng walked in front and took out the key to the courtyard gate. With a click of the iron lock, the gate slowly opened.
The woman sitting in the yard turned around when she heard the sound and saw a lot of people following Su Cheng. She immediately became alert, "You... who are they?"
Yan Ci looked at her, frowning slightly, unable to recall who this person was. "Sister-in-law, why did you bring me here to see her?"
Su Cheng shook his head and sighed softly. His eyes swept across the two similar faces and he whispered, "Your Highness, this is Princess Rongqing, your sister."
Yan Ci's body froze instantly, the woman's beautiful face reflected in his eyes, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Prince?" Rong Qing was stunned for a moment, and his eyes swept over the unfamiliar face. The man looked to be around twenty years old. Apart from Yan He and Yan Mu, who else did he have a brother this old?
"What kind of prince is he?"
Su Cheng pursed her lips and whispered, "Princess, the prince has given me the title of Ruyang."
"Ruyang..." Rong Qing paused, then his eyes reddened and tears instantly flowed, "Ci'er...is it really Ci'er?"
