When we came out of Qingyun Gate, it was already dark.
Today's harvest was good. Although he didn't get much substantial information from the interviews with the two sects, he gained a lot in terms of personal relationships.
First, he completely won over Qiu Qianqian, then resolved the misunderstanding between Wang Yingqiu and Qingqiu, laying a solid foundation for them to sleep together as best friends in the future…
In a good mood, Jing Zhe returned to the Prince of Jin's residence, just in time to see Su Moyan and the others having dinner. Upon seeing him return, they quickly served him another set of chopsticks and a bowl.
Watching Jing Zhe wolf down his food, Su Moyan asked curiously, "Why are you eating like you haven't eaten all day?"
"Ugh...don't even mention it..."
Jing Zhe forced out a few words, swallowed hard, and then said, "I was just hungry for a day! What kind of crappy sects are these, they don't even provide food!"
Jing Zhe ate while complaining.
"Oh? That's too unfair! Just because we're from the imperial court doesn't mean they can isolate us like this! I'll have a word with their sect leader during the martial arts tournament the day after tomorrow!"
"Your Highness, farewell..."
Jing Zhe quickly laughed and said, "Actually, I was just joking. They begged us to do the interview, how could we not feed them? It's just that the food they were eating was so bad that I didn't like it..."
Both Tongtianque and Wuxiange have their own women, and Qingyunmen has its own third sister; they can't afford to offend them...
"Oh, I see."
Su Moyan nodded and then asked, "Did President Jing's interview today yield any results? I'm really bored staying at home. Why don't I go with President Jing tomorrow and see how he successfully negotiated things with them?"
Jing Zhe shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Your Highness, things are much more difficult than I imagined. They are completely unyielding and it's really just an interview. Your Highness won't learn anything by going there."
"They refuse to cooperate with the imperial court?"
Seeing Jing Zhe nod, Su Moyan was even more disappointed.
"But Your Highness, rest assured, I have already come up with a solution, but we will have to wait until the martial arts tournament begins!"
Hearing him say that, Su Moyan felt a little more at ease.
Jing Zhe also breathed a sigh of relief. Today's trip to Tongtianque was mainly for a secret meeting with Qiu Qianqian, and the trip to Qingyunmen was for his third sister Qingqiu. Tomorrow, he also needs to appease the garden master Wang Yingqiu at Wuxiange. It would be really inappropriate to bring Su Moyan along!
...
After finishing his meal, Jing Zhe prepared to go back.
After saying goodbye to Su Moyan, I arrived at the door. At that moment, a petite yet magnificent figure skipped and hopped over.
"Brother Emperor—"
The little girl bumped right into Jing Zhe, who was about to leave, as she turned the corner. A pair of huge hidden weapons in front of her attacked Jing Zhe twice, knocking him hard and making him take a step back.
The little girl was unharmed. She steadied herself, raised her head, and said directly, "Shameless!"
"..."
Before Jing Zhe could speak, Su Moyan inside the room became dissatisfied.
"Little Xiao, why are you scolding your elder brother so soon after you arrived?"
As they were talking, Su Moyan came out, unaware that the two had bumped into each other earlier, and continued to scold, "I'm the first one to dare call my royal brother shameless!"
Su Xiaoxiao blushed and said shyly, "Brother, I didn't mean you. I said he was shameless and bumped into me on purpose!"
After saying that, he pointed at Jing Zhe.
"Young Princess, you can't just say things like that! You, a young girl, ambushed and bumped into me, a weak scholar who can't even kill a chicken, and then you accused me first. That's not fair!"
Jing Zhe said with dissatisfaction.
"You? You can't even kill a chicken? A weak scholar?"
"What? I've never tied a chicken before. Do I look weak enough?"
Jing Zhe thought innocently, and unlike single people, he had never even tied up his own; it was always women who helped him...
"Pah, shameless!"
Su Xiaoxiao cursed again.
A good man doesn't argue with a woman, especially not verbally. If a woman really wanted to fight, Jing Zhe would definitely do it in bed. As for outside, Jing Zhe had no interest in anything else.
He informed Su Moyan and then came out.
Before he could even return, Su Xiaoxiao caught up with him again.
"stop!"
"..."
Jing Zhe pretended not to hear and continued walking.
"Hey, stop right there!"
"..."
The sounds behind me became more urgent, accompanied by the sound of running.
Jing Zhe continued walking straight ahead, then turned a corner and entered the lakeside promenade behind, where he could return to his room—she wouldn't dare to break into a man's room at night, would she?
"President Jing, the princess is calling for you..."
Victory was in sight, but Feng Lianru's return from outside ruined everything. Jing Zhe could only stop and give an embarrassed smile: "Really? Oh dear, people get old, and their hearing isn't what it used to be!"
"President Jing, please continue with your work. I'll head back now."
He seemed to realize that he had spoken out of turn—but a princess was shouting in the courtyard and he happened to be passing by. He couldn't very well pretend not to hear her like Jing Zhe did, could he?
Make a quick getaway.
Jing Zhe turned around, and Su Xiaoxiao had already run over.
Because of the strenuous activity, Su Xiaoxiao was panting heavily, and the pair of hidden weapons in front of her rose and fell with her breath, looking as if they were about to be released. This made Jing Zhe worry and couldn't help but take a second look...
Perhaps fearing she might lose control of the hidden weapon, Su Xiaoxiao reached out and smoothed it in front of her, angrily saying, "Are you doing this on purpose? I called you so many times, and you pretended not to hear me?"
"Did the young princess call me?"
Jing Zhe patted his ear: "My ears aren't working properly. I thought there was a dog chasing us."
"..."
Su Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, revealing two adorable little tiger teeth. She really wanted to bite Jing Zhe to death, but she was worried that if she did, she would become a real dog.
After calming down, he said, "It's one thing for you to bully me, but why did you bully my senior sister?"
"..."
Seeing that Jing Zhe did not answer, she continued, "Tell me how you bullied my senior sister, and I will forgive you!"
A sly glint flashed in his eyes.
Su Xiaoxiao has known Qiu Qianqian for a long time. Qiu Qianqian is not only her senior sister, but also her sworn sister. Qiu Qianqian acts decisively and boldly, and is very dashing. Even her brother can't bully her!
Therefore, Qiu Qianqian has always been Su Xiaoxiao's idol!
She heard that her idol had been bullied and was very curious, but Qiu Qianqian wouldn't say anything, so she had to ask Jing Zhe.
"..."
Jing Zhe was stunned. He had thought she was there to stand up for Qiu Qianqian, but judging from her demeanor, it seemed like she was there specifically to gossip.
"I didn't bully you? Who told you I bullied your senior sister?"
"My senior sister said it herself!"
"Oh, you must have misheard. When you see her again, you can ask her if I bullied her!"
In bed, he had indeed taken advantage of Qiu Qianqian many times, and given their current relationship, Qiu Qianqian would never say anything to him again.
