Outside Fuchen Palace, at the entrance to the Imperial Garden.
Su Mochen stood with his hands on his hips, his face full of anger.
"real?"
His words were filled with barely suppressed anger.
In the days that Jing Zhe was away, this was the place Su Mochen visited most often recently, reminiscing about the moments Jing Zhe had spent here.
However, because she is a princess, she knows much more about what happens to Jing Zhe, whether in Jinxi or Liangzhou, than others.
So while the people of Jingzhou were still wondering what had happened to Jing Zhe and Empress Yueyao after they were captured by the Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry, Su Mochen was not worried at all.
Empress Yueyao has come to Jingzhou, and with only a few days left until the New Year, he will surely be back soon.
Although Su Mochen was anxious, he was still very happy.
During this period, besides missing Jing Zhe, her greatest solace was waiting for the newspaper to be published, and her favorite thing to read was the story of Dream of the Red Chamber.
Although Yu Xiangrong wrote the story of Dream of the Red Chamber, she knew that the content of the story came from Jing Zhe. When Su Mochen was immersed in the story of love between Jia Baoyu, Daiyu and Baochai, he also thought a lot about what he would do if he were in their shoes.
Today was also the day the newspaper was released, so she sent Guizhi out early to wait outside the Golden Palace, just waiting to bring the newspaper over after court.
Little did anyone know, Guizhi brought not only newspapers, but also even more explosive news!
Upon hearing this, Su Mochen's face turned pale, not from joy, but from anger!
"Of course it's true, Your Highness!"
Guizhi patted her heaving chest and took a few deep breaths, saying, "I rushed back as soon as I heard it, it's absolutely true!"
"This is Empress Yueyao!"
Su Mochen gritted his teeth and clenched his fist: "That's shameless!"
Originally, Guizhi and others were waiting outside the Golden Palace to pick up the newspaper after the morning court session. However, they overheard Murong Xi praising Jing Zhe and Bai Qingyuan's aggressive manner, which made it seem as if he wanted Jing Zhe to go on a marriage alliance.
Upon hearing this, Guizhi couldn't wait for the newspaper and ran back to inform them.
Su Mochen was furious after hearing this.
She had long heard the news that Empress Yueyao and Jing Zhe had been captured and then returned, and she had also heard that Empress Yueyao was incredibly beautiful, but she had never been worried.
Because she knew that when Empress Yueyao came to Anguo for a marriage alliance, she would definitely choose members of the royal family and other noble families to ensure equality in status. Although Jing Zhe was powerful, his status was too low; how could he be chosen for a marriage alliance? As for herself, she would simply not go as a princess…
Therefore, Empress Yueyao was not in her considerations, so how could she have known things would turn out this way?
She felt that the competition within the city was already fierce, and looking at the country as a whole, the competition was even greater. And now, wow, there's an international competitor.
The most crucial point is that she hasn't even met Jing Zhe's people yet, and now someone's trying to steal her away?
After venting her anger, Su Mochen, hands on her hips, said coldly, "However, she's just dreaming! In the vast An Kingdom, she can marry whomever she wants, but not him! Is she still in the Golden Palace? Allow me to go and meet her!"
Su Mochen's eyes were bright and alert, ready for battle, but he noticed that Guizhi's eyes were wide open, staring straight ahead.
"Guizhi, what are you looking at—"
Before she could finish speaking, Su Mochen turned around and saw Jing Zhe walking towards her through the wind and snow. The swirling snowflakes landed on her head, face, and eyelashes, instantly turning into icy water, but she didn't feel the cold at all; instead, her heart felt warm.
A slight smile played on her lips, her eyes sparkling like stars...
...
Jing Zhe left the Golden Palace and headed straight for the Dust-Sweeping Palace.
As soon as he arrived outside the Imperial Garden gate, he saw Guizhi and Su Mochen, who was facing away from him and wearing a snow-white dress.
She stood on the bluestone slab and slowly turned around.
When their eyes met, Su Mochen's eyes were filled with surprise. Perhaps because he had been standing outside for too long, his originally rosy complexion had turned a little pale, which, combined with the falling snowflakes, created a harmonious effect.
After a moment of stunned silence, Su Mochen instinctively raised his foot to take a step, but then seemed to want to appear more reserved. He paused in mid-air for a while before finally putting his foot down.
He opened his mouth, but found he couldn't say a word.
All the words I wanted to say turned into silent speech at this moment, and in the end I could only wave to him and signal him to come over.
Before leaving Jingzhou last time, the two sealed their love with a kiss. When they saw Su Mochen again, her red lips, which were not bright in color, looked even more delicate and luscious in the snow and ice, making one want to kiss her.
Unable to contain his excitement, Jing Zhe quickly ran over.
"Mo Chen...Your Highness!"
Because Guizhi was watching eagerly from the side, Jing Zhe finally added the title "Your Highness".
Upon hearing "Mo Chen," Su Mo Chen's lips twitched slightly, but his eyes still held a smile.
However, when she heard "Your Highness," her eyes immediately turned cold, and she asked, "What did you call me?"
"..."
Jing Zhe was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Senior Sister?"
"..."
This time, Su Mochen didn't say a word, glared at him fiercely, and walked straight towards Fuchen Palace. The snow fell heavier and heavier, instantly covering the footprints she left behind, leaving only Jing Zhe and Guizhi in the same spot.
The two looked at each other, the atmosphere awkward.
Finally, Jing Zhe had no choice but to feign ignorance and ask, "Guizhi, has Her Highness the Princess been... lately?"
Jing Zhe thought for a moment, realizing he couldn't very well discuss Su Mochen's physical problems with a mere maid, so he changed his words and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Gui Zhi shook her head: "Aside from thinking about President Jing every day, Your Highness is feeling quite well!"
"..."
Jing Zhe felt stupid. How could his personal maid not know about his affair with Su Mochen?
Adding "Your Highness" earlier was completely unnecessary.
"President Jing, Guizhi knows why His Highness is angry!"
"Oh? Why?"
Gui Zhi said smugly, "Isn't it all because of that Empress Yueyao!"
So, Guizhi recounted her conversation with Su Mochen. After listening, Jingzhe realized that Su Mochen had been jealous of Murong Xi before he arrived, and with his mistake in addressing her, it was no wonder Su Mochen was unhappy.
"Oh, I see!"
Jing Zhe nodded, indicating that he understood.
At this moment, Guizhi asked curiously, "President Jing, will you really agree to that Empress Yueyao's request?"
Because Guizhi only heard the beginning of the story outside the Golden Palace before running away, she was unaware of what happened afterward.
What does Guizhi think?
"Of course President Jing wouldn't! After all, besides our Highness, President Jing also has Zhu Sheren, General Jinghong, and Miss Yu from the Duke of Huguo's mansion. So many people are waiting for President Jing. How could President Jing abandon them for a mere Empress?"
"..."
