Chapter 420 Deliberate Romance
Rubbing the tip of his nose, he glanced at her red face, laughing in his heart, but with a serious look on his face, "What are you expecting?"
"What can I expect?" Xia Qianqian was flustered by his provocation, but she still said harshly: "Your Highness, the good king, men and women are not intimate, so don't take advantage of the little girl's family during the day."
"According to the rules of Daqian Kingdom, you should marry me several times!" He said in a teasing tone.
Indeed, women in ancient times were reserved. When they were over ten years old, men and women were seated on separate seats and in separate cars. Like He and She, they had broken through the boundaries between men and women and had the practice of kissing.
An ancient woman would definitely marry that man.
"But we are not married yet after all!" She stretched out her hand with palpitations and pressed it against his heart, forcing herself to distance the two of them.
"Then do you want to get married to me?" He seemed to be joking, but he said it very seriously.
Getting married is a bit too early for her.
Xia Qianqian hesitated.
Ji Zimo's heart was also panicked.
He finally understood Hu Tang's state of mind.
Taking a deep breath, he stood up slowly and pulled her up smoothly, "I won't force you to do something you don't like."
If two people want to get married, it will happen naturally.
Xia Qianqian secretly breathed a long sigh of relief, stood up, straightened her messy hair, and sat down in a soft corner, not daring to say anything.
The carriage galloped past the main street, exited the South City Gate, walked some distance, and stopped on a hill.
The person next to me lifted the car curtain and got out of the car first.
Turning around, he stretched out a hand to her and said, "Come down."
Xia Qianqian hesitated, put her hand on his, bent down and jumped out of the car.
Standing firm and looking, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"So beautiful!"
In the distance is a hillside. This is the season when vegetation is reviving and flowers are blooming.
On the hillside, red, yellow, blue... wild flowers of various colors are blooming first, which is so beautiful.
Under the wilderness, wild flowers were in full bloom. What seemed like an ordinary scene to others, but in her eyes, she saw a different scenery and mood.
When she was a child, her grandfather always took her to the mountains to collect herbs. She would run around like crazy in the wild flowers, pick wild flowers, make garlands, swat at butterflies, and catch grasshoppers.
Her childhood happiness all originated from that hillside and those wild flowers.
Unexpectedly, after a time travel, she came here.
Here, she can also see similar scenes.
Xia Qianqian was so excited that she ran forward and smelled this one and that one. Her whole face turned into a flower with a smile.
"Squid, I like it here so much!" She seemed to have returned to her childhood, chasing butterflies and picking wild flowers.
Ji Zimo stood on the hillside, looking at her quietly, and couldn't help but smile.
Tell me a story, don’t deceive me sincerely.
Girls are the easiest to be moved by beautiful things.
The woman in front of her, no matter how many secrets she hides in her heart, is just a daughter's house.
"Geng Zhong!" Ji Zimo ordered: "Take out the things and put them on the ground over there."
Xia Qianqian went crazy for a while, and when she returned, she found a huge blanket spread on the open space next to the carriage.
Ji Zimo sat cross-legged with two food boxes in front of her.
He smiled lightly and waved to her, "It's already past lunch time. You must be hungry. Come here and use some."
He opened the food box and placed the contents on the blanket one by one.
Three plates of exquisite pastries and one plate of small red fruits. I don’t know what kind of fruit they are.
Not far from him, there was a kettle on the small stove, with water boiling and steaming.
With graceful movements, he picked up the kettle, made tea, and poured it into the teacup.
Seeing that Xia Qianqian was still stunned, he greeted: "Come and sit down."
Xia Qianqian moved forward slightly, followed his example, and sat cross-legged on the blanket.
He handed over a hot square towel and said, "Wipe your hands first."
This arrogant man has become such a gentleman now.
Xia Qianqian put the handful of wild flowers aside, took the square handkerchief, and wiped her hands.
Then he picked up a piece of peach blossom cake, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
They are both peach blossom cakes, but the ancient taste is more original and pure than the modern peach blossom cakes.
Xia Qianqian nodded and finished off a piece in two or three mouthfuls.
He put a cup of tea in her hand and warned: "Drink a little tea, be careful not to choke."
She nodded repeatedly, drank tea and cakes, and enjoyed the rare picnic time.
She ate happily and played happily, and his mood became extremely clear.
Although the afternoon sun was strong, the two people under the shade of the trees were enjoying the cool breeze, sitting on the ground, tasting delicious food, drinking tea, and looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them.
In this situation, the two of them had a tacit understanding. No one said a word, let alone Hu Tang.
After resting enough and eating enough, the two of them got up and got on the Qingting carriage to return.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the carriage entered the main street, it heard the sound of drums in the distance, and many passers-by crowded up, forcing the carriage to stop.
Xia Qianqian lifted the car curtain to take a look and asked curiously: "Fanshan is broken, what other important things are there that need to beat the drum and redress the grievances?"
Geng Zhong jumped off the carriage and said, "Sir, let me go to the front to check."
After a while, Geng Zhong left and returned, reporting back: "It's the Jiang family."
"Jiang Chengyun?" Xia Qianqian was surprised.
"Yes!"
"The Jiang family is really haunted!"
Xia Qianqian looked disdainful, "Jiang Chengyun colluded with the barbarians in public and poisoned Hu Tang in an attempt to kill him. This is irrefutable evidence. Does he still want to reverse the case?"
"Luo Hong is dead!" the person beside him replied slowly.
"When did it happen?" Xia Qianqian looked at Ji Zimo, even more surprised.
Recently, she has been staying in the mansion, and the furthest she has gone is to go to Mo Mansion next door for a walk or two, so the news is a bit blocked.
"Yesterday morning, he was found dead in an alley on the street!"
"Yesterday, it was the alley we passed by!"
Xia Qianqian suddenly remembered that she was very surprised when she saw many people crowded in the alley yesterday.
"Yes!"
"But..." Xia Qianqian said in confusion: "Luo Hong's death, what does it have to do with Jiang Chengyun's case?"
"Luo Hong's neck was scratched with nails, and the venom of a bloodthirsty dead snake was detected from the wound."
"So, the Jiang family believes that there are still people who possess the bloodthirsty dead snake venom, and Jiang Chengyun was wrongly accused?"
Ji Zimo looked ugly, "If we can't catch the murderer, Jiang Chengyun's case will be delayed. The longer it is delayed, the greater the possibility of innocence."
"How can we expect to be innocent? I think that the fact that someone was poisoned by a bloodthirsty dead snake is a sign that there is no three hundred taels of silver here."
She angrily stated, "If I were a member of the Jiang family, I would poison one or two people to save Jiang Chengyun from prison. As long as it attracts people's attention and diverts suspicion, why not do it??"
Xia Qianqian paused and said doubtfully: "I just don't understand, how could they choose Luo Hong?"
"As the captain of the bodyguard, Luo Hong will not be easy to deal with even if he is drunk."
"The person who poisoned him didn't use a knife or an arrow. He only used his nails to cut his neck and poison him to death. Then this person..."
After she considered it, the person next to her said, "You must be familiar with Luo Hong, so that he can let down his guard!"
Xia Qianqian speculated in a low voice: "There are many women around Luo Hong who hate him so much that they can poison him?
