Chapter 375

The corners of Gu Zezhi’s lips rose a little more, and that small hook on the corner of his lips spread instantly to the corners of his eyes, and brows to the bottom of his eyes.

It was as if the sunshine and spring breeze brushed the surface of the lake, creating ripples and shimmering waves.

His thin lips moved slightly and silently said two words:

Scented sachet.

Qin Jiu was sure that was what he said, so she quickly untied the sachet on her waist and then threw the crescent-shaped incense sachet toward him...

When an excited voice of a woman could be heard next door, “Big Sister, look, is the County King looking at me?”

“What are you talking about! He’s obviously looking at me!”

“It’s me, it’s me, it’s me!”

“...”

Loud and lively noises could be heard next door, Yun Jiao could hear them laugh and even overhear someone’s “pfft”. Curious, she poked her head out of the window and wanted to see who these people were.

Meanwhile, the scented sachet that was thrown out of the window traced a long curve in mid-air and landed “just right” in Gu Zezhi’s right hand.

Gu Zezhi’s slender fingers pinched the sachet and placed it on his lips, his eyebrows looking softer and more charming, but his gaze was as hot as the summer sun.

Qin Jiu’s gaze couldn’t help but fall on his lips, that thin, rosy lips that were slightly raised were smiling at her.

The two sides of the street were still raining flowers as if the goddess of flowers continued to scatter them as the wind blows, when a hibiscus flower flew towards Qin Zening’s side.

The group of soldiers soon walked away, as well as the rumbling of horses’ hooves, leaving only a trail of flowers, scented sachets, fruits, and so on, and suddenly the street became deserted.

It was not until no one could be seen that Qin Jiu withdrew her gaze, and her expression returned to normal but her eyes were still full of smiles.

Gu Zezhi’s back! Just thinking about that made her heart sweet.

“Third Sister!”

Qin Zeyu’s voice could be heard from afar, as he rushes back to the private room. “I want to play polo with Zhang Ye and the others...”

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Qin Jiu. “No.”

Qin Zeyu wanted to reason out but Qin Jiu said to him again, “There is a banquet today!”

Immediately, Qin Zeyu wilted as he then only remembered that there was a celebration feast in the palace today.

Yun Jiao watched as Qin Zeyu was crushed to death by Qin Jiu, finding their interaction very funny, and tried to suppress her laugh.

“Miss Jiao,” Qin Jiu apologetically said to Yun Jiao, “I have to go first, there is a palace banquet later, A’yu and I have to go into the palace early.”

Yun Jiao waved her hand with a smile, “Xiao Jiu, go ahead.”

Yun Jiao returned to the private room while Qin Jiu took Qin Zeyu back to the Qin mansion. She changed into a new dress and put on the golden phoenix hairpin she got at her hairpin ceremony, before going to the palace together with Zeyu as her escort.
