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 Xingze spent the whole day at the Duke Residence without saying a word. By nightfall, the old Duke decreed that he should stay for the night. Unable to defy the old Duke, he stayed over.


The old Duke had a good drinking capacity, and Su Xingze had a bit too much to drink that day. Zhou Gu took Su Xingze to the guest room, ordered some hangover soup for him, and after he drank it, he laughed and said, "Grandfather drank a lot today, too. He's grown old, and has rarely drunk this much these past two years. It's obvious that he likes you a lot, brother Su."


Su Xingze rubbed his temples, thinking that he had underestimated the importance the Duke Residence placed on Su Rong. He would have to write another letter tomorrow, letting Xiaoqi further consider whether they should indeed break off this engagement.


He put down his hand, glanced at Zhou Gu, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
