At this moment, the room was silent.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting sipped his tea gently, waiting for Gongsun Zixing's next words.

Gongsun Zixing's heart, however, was in constant struggle and torment. He said they were friends, but how could he really be friends with a princess?

Gongsun Zixing looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting who was sitting on the couch. She was so calm and confident without any shyness. When she realized that he was looking at her, she winked at him mischievously.

If I didn't know her identity, it would be hard to believe that the person in front of me could be a princess.

"It's not that hard to follow the heart's arrangement." Seeing the inner conflict in Gongsun Zixing, Zong Zheng Xiaoting said to him, intending to add fuel to the fire. "It seems that no one can get rid of the pedantic old scholar's thinking."

Pedantic?

Yes, when did I become so pedantic? I always claimed to act on impulse, but now, when I really want to do something, I am constantly struggling with my sincerity.

"If that's the case, then there's no distinction between high and low, noble and humble." Gongsun Zixing smiled with relief, "I'll make friends with this one."

"It seems that I bet on the right horse." Zongzheng Xiaoting smiled happily, "As far as Xiaoting knows, Master Gongsun is older than me. If you don't mind, how about calling you Brother Zixing?"

"We are friends, so there is no need to be so distant. How about I call the princess Xiaoting?" Gongsun Zixing said awkwardly. He still felt a little unnatural to call the princess by her name.

"Since we are not unfamiliar with each other, why do you have to keep mentioning the word princess?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting tilted his head and smiled.

"However, Gong... uh, Xiaoting, you, really make me look at you with new eyes." Gongsun Zixing said stiffly, forcing himself to adapt to the awkwardness.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, "Maybe I don't belong here."

The joke escaped from Zong Zheng Xiao Ting's mouth, but she didn't let it continue. She changed the subject, "By the way, the Yulin I saw in Zhaoshu Temple, I have always wanted to see the original intention of the master to create such a Yulin. I wonder if Brother Zixing can explain it to Xiao Ting?"

"Everyone only admires the ingenuity of Yulin, and some praise me for my generosity. Few people think of my original intention," Gongsun Zixing sighed.

"Brother Zixing is rich enough to rival a country, so he must be lonely, right?" Zongzheng Xiaoting listened to the sigh in Gongsun Zixing's words and hit the nail on the head, pointing out Gongsun Zixing's inner thoughts, "Everyone in the world is like this, they can only see other people's scenery. Every carving of Yunlin was done with great care. If it was just the ambition of being rich enough to rival a country, it would not be possible to complete it so perfectly and flawlessly."

Under Gongsun Zixing's surprised gaze, Zongzheng Xiaoting smiled and said, "I remember that when I was deep in Yulin, I carved even the inconspicuous little hole, which looked like the turbid traces of flowing water, without missing a single thing. How could such a person be a person who seeks fame and reputation? If he didn't spend a lot of effort, how could he present such a fine product? And if such a person says that he has no thoughts in his mind, I don't believe it."

These words touched Gongsun Zixing's heart.

"I've known for a long time that this Yunlin is always admired in Zhaoshu Hall, but not everyone really understands it. I never thought that Xiaoting would actually look at it so carefully." Gongsun Zixing said, "In fact, many people have been pursuing the beauty of jade just for the sake of seeking nobility, but they don't know that the value of jade lies in its full use. If the jade forest is extremely luxurious and fully utilized, the value of the warm jade will not be in vain. So, when I dug out such a large jade, I kept it there because I didn't want such a beautiful jade to be carved into countless pieces, wasting too many precious jade corners that are not perfect but still precious."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded in understanding, "So, when Brother Zixing was ordered to supervise the construction of Zhaoshu Palace, he took this jade into consideration?"

"Yes, firstly, only the imperial court has the financial resources to purchase it. Secondly, if it is carved with warm jade and stone forest, then people can keep cool and warm in it in summer and winter, and it will be truly put to good use. It's a pity that I later heard that many people admired it from afar, but no one really stayed in it to take advantage of the natural advantages of the jade forest." Gongsun Zixing shook his head helplessly.

"Then, is this also true for this jade couch?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting touched the couch made of jade with a smile on his face.

"That's natural."

"Brother Zixing has a special fondness for jade?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting asked, looking up.

"It is true. It seems natural that I only love this jade. I feel really sorry for it." Gongsun Zixing smiled.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Gongsun Zixing and thought to himself, since he loves it so much, maybe he can find the jade that contains the Jade Haze Ball. "Brother Zixing, have you ever seen this kind of jade?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting took off the jade bracelet on his hand and handed it to Gongsun Zixing.

After taking the jade bracelet handed over by Zong Zheng Xiaoting, she examined it carefully for a long time. The jade was translucent and white, and it was indeed a rare good jade color. It seemed that it was comparable to a family heirloom.

Retracting his gaze, Gongsun Zixing handed the jade bracelet back to Zongzheng Xiaoting, "This jade bracelet is rare."

"I understand this, but I have been looking for this kind of jade, but unfortunately, I have no clue." Zong Zheng Xiaoting slowly put on the jade bracelet, lowered his head and sighed, "I thought that Brother Zixing cherished jade and would be able to gain something."

"You only want this kind of jade?" Gongsun Zixing asked puzzledly.

"Yes!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded, thinking about a more reliable reason, and then slowly said: "Actually, it's because I have been looking for the jade that my mother has been thinking about, but I can't find it anywhere."

"By the way, Brother Zixing, I don't know anything else, but doing business is my strong point. I wonder if Brother Zixing is interested in cooperating with me?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting thought about the huge sum of money and decisively made an invitation.

"Cooperation?" Gongsun Zixing was very surprised.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting pouted, "Why, Brother Zixing, do you think that we no longer need to cooperate with others?"

"Haha, that's not the case." Gongsun Zixing shook his head, "I just think it's very surprising."

Zongzheng Xiaoting raised his eyebrows. "I'm surprised that someone would brag about cooperating with the richest businessman?"

After taking a quick glance, he saw Gongsun Zixing was silent, so Zongzheng Xiaoting continued, "The Yangtze River is always changing. If the richest businessman remains unchanged, no one can guarantee it. There will be variables, right? I have the confidence that I can make the industries under Yingxue Mountain Manor completely new and shocking."

When talking about business opportunities, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's face was filled with pride.

Gongsun Zixing, who was standing by, looked at Zong Zheng Xiaoting and couldn't help but be infected by her emotions.
