Xiziqing

In the beginning, he said, "A lowly commoner from Jiangning County? What a disgraceful status, I won't marry her!"
After meeting her, he clicked his tongue, "So frail and delicate, she can't stand a blow, too weak, I refuse!"
When she approached him alone, carrying the marriage book, he stood leaning on the door, grinning insolently, "Are you here to make me marry you? But this young master doesn’t want to marry young!"
Upon learning she was there to annul their marriage, his face turned dark as a thunderstorm, emanating a murderous aura, "Who gave you the guts to revoke the marriage with this young master?"
...
Su Rong felt, Duanhua Princess must be blind, this man was so pampered and spoiled, how was he worth dying or living for?
If she had known earlier, she would have thrown the divorce letter at his face the first time she saw him.

The tender signs of spring on the delicate Hibiscus pillow, amidst the drunken flowers filling the room, unnoticed. — Su Rong.
A gallant young man in fine clothes and on a steed, a single glance causes a lifetime of confusion. — Zhou Gu
Your wish is my wish. I wish to have known you earlier, protect you among the aromatic chambers strewn with brocades. Tear through the illusions, cut down the thorns, with hands unstained by blood, just as pure as you were when we first met, the young and soft little girl.
Your wish is my wish. I wish I had known you sooner when you were like a refreshing breeze near the moon. I dared not approach for fear of disturbing the phoenix and mandarin ducks. Praying to be the moon in the sky to cast a reflection on you, accompany you while you watch the flowers bloom in the spring and gaze at the snow in winter, each and every year at Chang'an.

Flowers Drunk Fill the Hall

Su Rong brought Yuewan, Zhou Gu brought Ziye, and the four of them left the Governor's residence by carriage.


In the carriage, Su Rong saw that Zhou Gu seemed uncomfortable no matter how he sat, so she asked him, "Are you usually more accustomed to riding a horse?"


"The sun outside is too intense, it's not suitable for riding a horse at noon. Taking a carriage can provide some shade and relief from the heat. Just bear with it, we aren't far away, we should arrive in an hour." Su Rong also wanted to ride a horse. Every time she left the city, she would sneak out of the city gate and then have someone bring her a horse. But she couldn't just break her facade right after meeting Zhou Gu, so she had to endure the slow pace of the carriage.


"Is it that far?" Zhou Gu frowned. An hour on the road, stuck in a carriage, made him almost regret coming out with her.
