"Young people's promises are the most ruthless. Over time, they will eventually be betrayed." After hearing Bo Chi's words, the queen was silent for a while and said lightly.
Bo Chi opened his mouth and was about to continue speaking for Yu Zhao, but the Queen rubbed her brows and chuckled before adding, "But since he has said it, it means that he at least truly loves you now, and you, a girl, have your heart set on him. If you really marry someone else, I'm afraid you will end up as a couple of resentful lovers."
"Your Majesty is right!" Bo Chi was in high spirits and quickly agreed: "This son will not marry anyone other than Yu Zhao in this life!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The queen laughed dumbly and tapped her forehead: "You are marrying down!"
The two of them laughed in the hall and chatted until noon before they separated.
On his way back to the palace, Bo Chi passed by the Imperial Garden. Just as he was thinking about going in to pick two flowers to enjoy, a male voice suddenly rang out: "Your humble servant Ke Hui greets the princess."
Hearing the male protagonist's name, Bo Chi was stunned and subconsciously looked over. He saw a man in court robes smiling on the imperial road not far away. There was a bit of self-conceit in his expression: "The princess is more beautiful than flowers. I am really lucky to meet the princess here."
Bo Chi frowned and said unexpectedly: "Please respect yourself, Mr. Zhuangyuan."
Ke Hui's expression froze. Noticing that Bo Chi did not show any shyness or curiosity, he spoke a little faster: "Princess, please don't be upset. I am just writing out of my feelings. In order to express my love for you, I am willing to dedicate a poem on the spot!"
“Ahem.” He cleared his throat, looked at Bo Chi lovingly, and chanted intoxicatedly: “I met the princess beside the imperial garden. Her beauty is so stunning that it can captivate fish and geese. The spring scenery in the garden is more beautiful than the winter. The princess is the most beautiful among all!”
Bo Chi frowned and said, "What a stupid thing."
Ke replied: “?”
Bo Chi was a little slow to come back to her senses, and as he wished, she showed the shyness of a young girl, and said softly, "Sorry, I accidentally said what was in my heart."
Ke Hui: "..."
The scene was a bit awkward, but fortunately Bo Chi was thick-skinned and remained calm as he said, "As expected of you, you are the top scholar. Your poem is so good. To express my admiration, I will reward you..."
Ke Hui's eyes lit up, with greed and expectation in them.
Bo Chi paused, reluctantly swallowed the "Yi Zhang Hong", and changed it to: "Reward you with a round face, get out of the palace."
Ke replied: “???”
Seeing the cold and delicate little princess turn around and leave, Ke Hui, who had been waiting for more than half an hour, finally couldn't stand it anymore and said hurriedly: "Princess, Princess, wait! I have something to say to you!"
Bo Chi walked without stopping and did not even turn his head: "Thank you, but please don't cue me. I don't want to hear it."
As a noble and vicious female supporting role, Bo Chi has the confidence to be willful.
But she didn't expect that when she thought it was just a small matter and had passed, rumors suddenly spread in the capital that "the top scholar loves the princess and pursues her in every way", and some people even compiled "a hundred ways to marry the princess" with exaggeration.
Although Bo Chi was silly but not stupid, she saw traces of someone's activities from it. However, before she could figure out the other party's purpose, Chun Yuan came again with a letter and handed it to her secretly.
Bo Chi's thoughts were disrupted. He opened the letter and looked at it, wondering, "Didn't Yu Zhao go to pick up someone or do some work? How did he find the time to ask me out?"
She was very alert like a herbivore and immediately suspected, "Could it be that someone forged the letter to harm me?"
Chun Yuan was speechless: "But, this was handed to me by the Major General himself."
Bo Chi's imagination exploded: "Maybe someone disguised themselves as her?"
Chun Yuan didn't understand and asked in confusion: "So will the princess go or not?"
Bo Chi nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course I will go. Maybe she wants to see me for something important. I can't delay her because of my suspicion. But I have to keep a backup plan before I go back."
She walked around the hall but didn't find any powerful weapon, so she could only leave with a sharp hairpin in her pocket. When she arrived at the small teahouse she had been to once, she looked alert, turned back every three steps, then knocked on the door and slipped into the compartment.
As soon as she entered, she closed the door. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, before she could turn around, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and covered the lower half of her face tightly.
The man was unequivocal and asked hoarsely, "Didn't you say... forget it, what is your relationship with Ke Hui now?"
Bo Chi didn't notice her annoyance and pause. She was already frightened when she was pressed against the door. She was trembling with fear and didn't listen to the questions behind her. She responded randomly, put her hand into her sleeve, closed her eyes, and stabbed backwards with her backhand.
Her skills were not good enough in Yu Zhao's eyes.
Yu Zhao grabbed her wrist and exerted a little force, making her wrist sore and weak. The hairpin fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"I won't kill you." Yu Zhao was so eager to know the answer that his tone was full of threats: "Only if you answer my questions obediently."
Bo Chi's move failed and he just kept quiet. Yu Zhao's expression eased slightly, and he asked again, "Why is it that within just a few days, rumors about Ke Hui and you spread in the capital? Have you changed your mind again and want to marry him?"
At the end of her speech, her tone became increasingly cold, as chilling as a sharp sword hanging around her neck.
Bo Chi: “Mmmmm.”
Yu Zhao frowned: "Stop acting like a spoiled brat and speak properly."
Bo Chi: "You are lying on the bed, Ziwei! Did I say Sen?"
Yu Zhao half-guessed and half-understood what she meant. He was silent for two seconds and then let go of her hand: "Now you——"
Before he finished speaking, the clever boy shouted, "Spring..."
The martial artist reacted very quickly and covered her lips in an instant.
Considering that such communication not only did not get the most truthful answers, but was interrupted again and again, Yu Zhao finally gave up the idea of threatening him and turned Bo Chi over.
Bo Chi was caught off guard and met her gaze. He was stunned for a while and raised his hand to pull Yu Zhao's hand down. He asked in surprise: "What are you trying to do?"
Yu Zhao did not answer. Seeing that she no longer wanted to resist, he asked persistently: "Didn't you say that you would not marry Ke Hui? What's the meaning of all the elegant and interesting talks on the street? Did Ke Hui really wait for three hours under the scorching sun, and finally waited until you softened your heart and went to the Imperial Garden to meet him?"
Bo Chi: “Ah?”
Yu Zhao was obviously angry. He stared at Bo Chi for a long time and said word by word, "I can also wait for you, whether it's three hours, three months, or even three years. I can do it."
"Anyway, you are not allowed to marry him." Yu Zhao gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice, "He is not worth it!"
