As Wang Yingqiu got out of bed, she looked at Jing Zhe and suddenly froze.
"What's wrong, owner?"
Ignoring his disheveled clothes, Jing Zhe stood up.
"We...we actually broke through together!"
"..."
Ever since that night in the backyard of Wuxian Garden, when she first practiced dual cultivation with Jing Zhe, Wang Yingqiu developed a habit of using dual cultivation techniques whenever Jing Zhe misbehaved towards her.
Of course, she was actually quite indifferent to the difference in martial arts skills, otherwise she wouldn't have come to Wuxian Garden. But she knew that Jing Zhe needed martial arts skills right now. She didn't care, but Jing Zhe had to become stronger.
Who told him to be her man?
I never expected that the two of them would break through together!
She had previously recovered to the middle stage of the fourth level, while Jing Zhe was at the middle stage of the second level. Now, she and Jing Zhe have reached the peak of the fourth and second levels respectively, and are only one step away from the next level!
Jing Zhe was also very happy to hear this. At this rate, as long as he practiced diligently, he would one day become a peerless master!
After thinking about it, he seemed to have found the key to the problem.
"Shall we try again? Let's see if that's the reason?"
Startled, Wang Yingqiu waved her hands repeatedly: "I can't do it today! It seems I was right, you're too amazing, I can't handle it alone!"
Jing Zhe gave her a strange look. Wang Yingqiu seemed to understand his gaze, and then put her hands on her hips and said, "I did say that I agreed that you could have more than just me, but I also don't agree to just anyone coming to your side! You have me, and you have seven older sisters—that's enough. I don't like the others, so I won't agree to them!"
"..."
Jing Zhe discovered that Wang Yingqiu was thinking even more than he was, about her seven older sisters…
At the moment, he's only thought of Liu Jinghong and Zhu Xinning, no, Lu Li is also a good choice...
So I changed the subject: "What I said to the gardener just now wasn't just to flatter you. What I wanted to give you wasn't just a newspaper, but a poem!"
Upon hearing the poem, Wang Yingqiu's eyes lit up, and she became more alert.
She complained to Jing Zhe yesterday that he couldn't have the third song, but the fourth one had to be given to her. She thought Jing Zhe would think about it for a long time, but he wrote it now. She was looking forward to it!
"Let me read it to the owner!"
"Wait a minute!"
Before Jing Zhe could speak, Wang Yingqiu interrupted her, went to the desk in the outer room, took out paper, ink, brush and inkstone, and smiled with crescent-shaped eyes: "I want to write it down!"
After saying that, he shook his head and handed over the pen: "I almost forgot. Since you're here, why should I write anything? You write it down, and I'll have someone frame it so it won't spoil!"
Jing Zhe did not refuse. After Wang Yingqiu prepared the ink, he picked up his brush and began to write. Wang Yingqiu stood by his side, creating a beautiful scene, and then softly read it aloud.
Wild grasses grow, glistening with dew.
There was a beautiful woman, graceful and charming.
A chance encounter, just as I wished.
Wild grasses grow, glistening with dew.
There was a beautiful woman, graceful and elegant.
"A chance encounter, a lifetime together."
Jing Zhe finished his last stroke, and Wang Yingqiu also finished reading.
"Baby, what do you think? Do you like it?"
Wang Yingqiu looked up, snuggling closer, and said softly, "I like it..."
Compared to the other three poems written by Jing Zhe, this one is a true love poem. Every line is beautiful, praising her and describing the little things that happened between the two. With just this one poem, all of Wang Yingqiu's unhappiness vanished.
Just as Jing Zhe was about to stretch his legs a bit more, he suddenly heard a small commotion downstairs, and the sound of footsteps going upstairs coming from outside the door.
Wang Yingqiu, who was in his arms, looked up at Jing Zhe with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Wuxian Garden is the property of Wuxian Pavilion. Even princes and ministers dare not act recklessly here. Who has such audacity?
"I'll go take a look..."
As she spoke, Wang Yingqiu stood up. Although her face was still flushed, her expression had lost its previous gentleness and become cold and serious.
"No, I'll go."
Jing Zhe pulled Wang Yingqiu aside, pointed to her disheveled clothes and long hair, and shook his head.
He wouldn't let his woman show her face in public at this time, so he casually straightened his clothes, pushed open the door, and then froze.
"Second sister... what brings you here?"
"..."
Wang Yingqiu, who was inside the room, was also stunned. She stood there, like a mistress about to be caught red-handed by the first wife, at a loss for what to do.
...
Zhu Xinning is in a good mood today.
Because she knew that the poem Jing Zhe wrote for her would be made public in the morning, and would anyone believe those annotations?
"A glance is enough to see each other, yet a single step feels like crossing a fortified city. Though love is separated by mountains and seas, mountains and seas can be leveled."
Zhu Xinning, anyway, didn't believe it.
She vaguely sensed Jing Zhe's feelings for her. Although neither of them had ever expressed these feelings, she felt that the barrier between them was getting thinner and thinner.
Especially since Jing Zhe dared to write such a love poem to her in front of the whole world—although Zhu Xinning was very shy, she was still looking forward to it. After the newspaper was published, she couldn't calm down for a long time.
In the imperial court, she never opened the newspaper in her hand.
After court, she hurried home.
She picked up the newspaper and flipped through it again and again, constantly checking to see if Jing Zhe had arrived, until she finally fell asleep.
When she woke up, she found herself covered with a blanket.
She felt it must be Jing Zhe who had come.
Because Xiangru understands her, he knows that she doesn't like to cover her neck with a blanket, as she always feels like she can't breathe. But this time, the blanket was placed over her neck, so he concluded that someone else must have covered her with the blanket.
Besides Jing Zhe, who else is there?
She called out to Jing Zhe, but no one answered. She then called out to Xiang Ru, but still no one responded. Just as she was about to go inside to check, she saw Xiang Ru return, looking quite upset.
She asked Xiangru what was wrong. Xiangru hesitated several times before finally saying nothing, but she couldn't resist her repeated questioning. In the end, she learned that Jing Zhe had secretly slipped away to Wuxian Garden!
At this moment, she finally realized a serious problem!
When Liu Jinghong was still alive, she kept asking who the "owner of the garden" was, but she never found out before she left. Before leaving, she specifically instructed Liu Jinghong to investigate.
She initially thought Liu Jinghong was making a mountain out of a molehill, but when she heard that Jing Zhe had "sneaked into" Wuxian Garden, she suddenly realized the truth!
Wang Yingqiu is known as Master Wang!
Garden owner…
Owner!
Previously, they automatically overlooked Wang Yingqiu because of the different pronunciations. Combined with the fact that Jing Zhe specifically requested Wang Yingqiu to sing at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Gathering, it doesn't seem surprising that something might happen between the two of them!
It turns out, the most dangerous person is right next to you!
Zhu Xinning is furious!
