Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian came to the big rock at the entrance of the village and sat on it. They looked up at the moon and stars in the sky. It was so beautiful!
"Zhijun, I bought you a gift. Do you like it?"
Huo Jinqian turned around and said to Gao Zhijun.
"It's mainly because you gave it to me. I like them all."
Gao Zhijun said.
Hearing this, Huo Jinqian quickly took out a box from his sleeve and handed it to Gao Zhijun.
Gao Zhijun took the box and opened it. It turned out to be a peach wood peony hairpin with a vivid peony flower on it.
"Does it look good? Do you like it?"
Huo Jinqian asked cautiously, afraid that Gao Zhijun would say she didn't like it.
"I like it. It's very beautiful. I like it very much! Can you put it on for me?"
Gao Zhijun likes this hairpin very much. Peony is the most beautiful flower, it is noble and elegant.
"Lucky, I'll put it on for you!"
Huo Jinqian took out a peach wood peony hairpin and carefully put it on Gao Zhijun.
Next to Gao Zhijun, he could smell her body fragrance and the faint rose scent on her hair, which came from the rose-scented shampoo, and Huo Jinqian was intoxicated.
"Have you put it on? Does it look good?"
As Huo Jinqian's hand still didn't leave, Gao Zhijun asked in confusion.
Huo Jinqian came back to his senses, put away the awkward look on his face, put his hand down, took a step back and said, "It looks good. Zhijun looks good in anything she wears!"
Gao Zhijun was flattered to be praised for her beauty, but she said calmly, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. It's because you have good taste and the hairpin you bought is beautiful."
Of course I have good taste, otherwise how could I like you! Huo Jinqian thought to himself.
"I have good taste, but you are really beautiful. If you are not good-looking, no matter how beautiful the hairpin is, it will not look good on you. So, only if you are good-looking, the hairpin will look good."
Huo Jinqian said seriously.
What the hell! What's going on? He's confessing his love again. He's confessing his love to me again, and this time, his words sound so good, so heart-pounding.
Hearing these blushing words, Gao Zhijun felt her heart moved. She discovered that she liked him a little.
"When did you learn to speak sweet words instead of studying hard?"
Gao Zhijun said with a slight frown.
"No, I only say sweet words to you. You don't need to learn this. You will learn it when you meet a girl you like."
Huo Jinqian looked at Gao Zhijun lovingly and said sincerely.
Oh my god! This ancient man is so good at flirting, I am almost falling for him.
"I have a gift for you too!"
Gao Zhijun said to change the subject.
If he continued to tease her, she was afraid that she would lose control and eat him whole.
She took out a box from her sleeve, and a silver note worth one thousand taels.
"What's that gift?"
Huo Jinqian looked at an exquisite box and asked Gao Zhijun.
Gao Zhijun handed the box to Huo Jinqian and said, "Open it and see if you like it!"
Huo Jinqian opened it and saw a crystal-clear jade ring with a white fur mink on it, which was particularly cute and beautiful.
Huo Jinqian liked it at first sight and was excited.
“I like it, I really like it!”
Huo Jinqian said.
"As long as you like it!"
She searched many jewelry shops before she finally found this jade ring.
Then, Gao Zhijun gave Huo Jinqian a silver note of 1,000 taels, saying that the Spring Examination would be coming soon, so he should buy whatever he needed and not be frugal.
Huo Jinqian couldn't refuse and had to accept it.
By the time Canglang came to find her, the moon was already above the willow branches and it was the hour of Xu.
"County Lady, there are a few people outside guarding the surroundings. They don't seem to have any malicious intentions."
Canglang pointed to the grass outside the village entrance where there was a faint hint of grass.
Oh my god! There was someone outside and I didn’t even know it. If it was a bad guy, Jinqian and I might be in danger.
My vigilance has been lowered, which is not a good thing.
Gao Zhijun calmed down and listened attentively outside. Sure enough, she could hear faint breathing sounds from several places.
"Good man, come out!"
Gao Zhijun shouted loudly, pulling Huo Jinqian behind her.
Voices were heard from all directions, and soon six people appeared at the entrance of the village in the moonlight.
"Who are you?"
Gao Zhijun asked them cautiously and seriously.
"We are not bad people. We are from the General's Mansion. We are under the order of the eldest son Murong Fu to protect the general's wife and the second son and bring them to Taizhou safely."
The person who spoke was the one Murong Fu sent to protect Liu Ningchu.
"Canglang, go call Murong Shuo over. Don't disturb the general's wife."
Gao Zhijun said to Canglang.
"Yes, County Lady!"
After Canglang finished speaking, he went to find Murong Shuo.
"You are the Lady of Xiangyun County, the young lady of the General's Mansion, our young lady?"
The man asked Gao Zhijun excitedly.
"How do you know I'm the Princess of Xiangyun County?"
Gao Zhijun asked again vigilantly.
"That man said that. He called you the County Princess. Aren't you the Xiangyun County Princess?"
The man said as a matter of course.
"Very clever! I am indeed the Lady of Xiangyun County. What did you just see? How much did you hear?"
Gao Zhijun looked at them fiercely.
It was so embarrassing. They must have heard everything she and Huo Jinqian had just said.
Thinking of this, Gao Zhijun wanted to dig a hole in the ground.
"We didn't hear anything. We were too far away to hear clearly."
The man quickly explained.
This is their young lady. If they admit it, will the young lady kill them to silence them?
At this time, Canglang brought Murong Shuo over, and Murong Shuo recognized them as his own people at a glance. So he told Gao Zhijun that he knew them and that they were from the General's Mansion.
