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

After Zhou Gu finished imparting his predicament, he looked longingly at Yan Huisheng, as if waiting for him to provide a solution that would relieve his current state of discomfort.


Yan Huisheng pondered, what did it mean for Zhou Gu to be so disturbed over Su Rong under the intensive atmosphere of preparing for the exam?


Being intelligent and sharp since childhood, Yan Huisheng was acutely aware that Zhou Gu was in love with Su Rong.


He remained silent, unclear of how to approach this.


"Ah, Your Highness, you have a myriad of affairs to handle, yet here I am bothering you with such a trifling matter. Is that annoying to you?" Zhou Gu misinterpreted Yan Huisheng's silence as his speechlessness.


Yan Huisheng shook his head. Instead, he saw this as a significant matter. The matter was relevant to whether Su Rong could firmly and smoothly break off her engagement, and while he too was fond of Su Rong, his upbringing forbade him from actively breaking them apart.
