Chapter 279: Wine and Wine

The next day, the small court meeting in the East Palace was over and Bei Qin was left alone.

"Cousin, my aunt is begging me to assign you less work, as it has delayed your important life event."

"For the sake of our relationship, I cannot delay you like this."

"After the court session in the next two months, you don't have to report to work at the Zhanshi Mansion."

"Take advantage of the opportunity to meet her."

Faced with the sudden news, Bei Qin was shocked and at a loss, but also a little surprised, and asked, "So I can stop working?"

Bei Jingchu smiled: "What are you dreaming about in broad daylight? I'll just stop working from home."

Bei Qin: Haha, it’s still the same whether it’s the first time to peel the skin.

After an incomplete vacation, Bei Qin walked out of the East Palace and told the servants waiting at the door: "Mother is anxious and asked me to find out the news. You spread it."

"Try to spread it to the funeral garden as naturally as possible."

Not long after, a hooked girl came to the East Palace.

"Chu Chu, is that Bei Qin engaged?"

The servant brought the tea and Zhou Huan picked up the wine and prepared to drink it, but the next moment he let out a terrible howl: "Hot! Hot, hot, hot, hot!"

"......"

Haoyue has already ordered: "Bring some ice."

It is a warm spring day, so it is not time to use ice yet.

By the time the ice cubes were thrown up from the ice cellar, Zhou Huanjiu had recovered.

She regained her vitality and justified her behavior: "No, it's just that a little maid told me that she and her childhood sweetheart were good friends who could talk about anything."

"But after the man got married, his wife couldn't stand their excessive interactions. She didn't believe their friendship was just pure and thought they were always doing something behind the scenes."

"The relationship between the two became as distant as that between strangers. They wouldn't even say hello when they met on the street."

"My little maid also understands. She said that if her husband had a childhood sweetheart with whom he had a deep affection, she would also be unhappy."

"But it's a pity that such a good childhood friendship has been destroyed just like that."

Bei Jingchu: "So...?"

Zhou Huanjiu clasped his hands together and made a suggestion: "How about I become his partner and live together?"

Bei Jingchu: ??? ??? !!! Damn it——when did you fall for him!

"We are so familiar with each other, we won't have conflicts, and I know our relationship well. I won't be jealous if he gets close to girls like us."

"It's good to keep the wealth within the family!"

"A virtuous wife brings few troubles to her husband. If Bei Qin makes a mistake and marries a girl with evil intentions, he will cause you a lot of trouble as he is the crown prince's secretary. It will be a big deal!"

Bei Jingchu controlled the corners of her mouth, suppressed her joy at entering the melon field, and tried hard not to turn into a wild beast.

The melons from acquaintances are the most delicious!

She sighed in a high-sounding manner: "But marriage is something that cannot be forced."

"What if my cousin doesn't want to settle for someone he knows, and wants to find his own soulmate?"

The person on the other side was a little depressed and replied weakly: "So, you can try to find out what he has to say~"

"Why don't you ask yourself?"

Zhou Huanjiu's fingernails dug into the rim of the teacup. "If I ask and the result is not good, we can't even be friends."

That makes sense, but Bei Jingchu's focus is not here, but: "No, I still want to know, when did you fall in love with him?"

Zhou Huanjiu changed the subject: "Chu Chu, if you were me, what would you do?"

Bei Jingchu: "Have the guards tie you up, wash you and put you in my bed."

Zhou Huanjiu: ???

"Just kidding."

Just when Zhou Huanjiu breathed a sigh of relief, Bei Jingchu's voice came out again: "Specific analysis depends on the specific situation, but I think that for Bei Qin, this method is very suitable~"
