Song Qingshu was dumbfounded that his proposal was rejected so straightforwardly. "Why?"
Zhao Min turned around, took a deep breath, and said, "There's no reason. I'm tired, so I'm going back to rest." After saying that, the hem of her skirt fluttered, leaving a faint fragrance in the air.
Song Qingshu was very depressed. He thought that his relationship with Zhao Min was good enough and that his confession of love should have received a reasonable response. Unfortunately, reality gave him an ice-cold blow.
After a while, he heard light footsteps behind him. Song Qingshu's first thought was that Zhao Min had returned, but he immediately dispelled this speculation. Not to mention that Zhao Min wasn't the kind of person who was willing to give in, the fragrance on her body was different too. Zhao Min's body exuded a rose fragrance, but this person's body only had a trace of indiscernible elegant fragrance, like an orchid in an empty valley, isolated from the world.
"Sister-in-law, you're here?" Song Qingshu didn't need to turn his head. He was familiar enough with the other party's scent to know who she was.
Icy Snow came to his side and revealed a gentle and elegant smile. "Qingshu, why are you drinking alone here?"
"Sister-in-law, you came at the right time. Drink with me." Song QingShu didn't wait for her to respond and directly pulled her into his arms to sit down. Her gentle and alluring body warmed his cold heart a little.
Icy Snow blushed and hurriedly struggled out of his embrace to sit on a stool at the side. Her eyes were filled with coquettishness and embarrassment. "You … This is the Liao Imperial Palace. There are eyes and ears everywhere. If someone sees us, who knows what kind of rumors will spread outside."
"I'm Liao's Emperor now. Who dares to control me?" Song Qingshu snorted coldly, but he didn't hug her again.
Icy Snow rolled her eyes at him. "It's because you're wearing Yelu Hongji's appearance that it's weird to be hugged by you …"
Song Qingshu laughed and whispered to her, "If I take off my mask, will you let me hug you?"
"Bah, you're still so frivolous." Icy Snow spat. "What did you say to Miss Zhao? I saw her face was frosty when she left just now. You were also here drinking to drown your sorrows. Did something happen to you two?"
"I asked her to marry me, and then this happened." Song Qingshu shrugged and said helplessly.
"Ah?" When Icy Snow suddenly heard such explosive news, her red lips gaped so wide that an egg could fit inside.
"What's going on?" Even though Icy Snow had a cold temperament, she was a woman, after all, and gossiping was a woman's nature.
Seeing the excitement on her face, Song Qingshu became more and more depressed. "I proposed to her, and then she simply rejected me."
Icy Snow was taken aback and asked doubtfully, "But after spending some time with you, I feel that Miss Zhao likes you. Why did she reject me?"
"I also felt that our relationship was at its last step, so I took the initiative to poke at it …" At this point, Song Qingshu sighed deeply. "Unfortunately, it turns out that I was overthinking."
At this point, Song Qingshu couldn't help but feel a deep sense of melancholy. When he read "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre" in his previous life, Zhao Min was his favorite female lead. She was so perfect, so perfect that she was like a beautiful dream that people could see from afar but couldn't pursue. When he transmigrated to this world and discovered that Zhao Min was also here, the distant dream gradually became within reach. That kind of joy was simply unparalleled.
Unfortunately, the other party's cold rejection knocked him down from the clouds to the ground. At that moment, he seemed to hear the sound of his dream shattering.
"How is that possible?" Icy Snow recalled the bits and pieces of time she spent with Zhao Min. Every time she mentioned Song Qingshu, the corners of her lips would curl up slightly. It was obvious that she had feelings for him. "How did you propose to her? Tell me everything that happened just now."
"There's no need for that, right?" Song Qingshu glanced at her. "Sister-in-law, when did you learn to be bad? Are you trying to sprinkle salt on my wound?"
Icy Snow glared at him angrily. "Do you think I'll harm you? It's just that I think there must be a misunderstanding, and I don't want you to miss this fate. "
Song Qingshu hesitated for a moment before roughly recounting his conversation with Zhao Min. After listening to it, Icy Snow couldn't help but laugh.
Even though her smile was as beautiful as the first melting of ice and snow, Song Qingshu still found it somewhat sarcastic. "Sister-in-law, you're also bad. You even made me repeat it before making fun of me."
"Who's making fun of you? I just understand why Miss Zhao rejected you," Icy Snow said snappily.
"Why?" Song Qingshu sat up straight all of a sudden and looked at her in confusion.
Icy Snow shook her head and explained softly, "Qingshu, you understand a girl's mind better than most men in this world. But you're not a woman after all, so there are some things that you can't think of. If you simply proposed to Miss Zhao this time, I think she would most likely agree to it. But the focus of your conversation this time was on how to detoxify the poison, so how could Miss Zhao agree to it? "
"Why can't she agree to it?" Song Qingshu was still a little confused.
"You're usually so smart. Why are you so stupid this time?" Icy Snow was a little anxious. "Think about it. If Miss Zhao agrees to it, doesn't it mean that she agreed to marry you for the sake of her life?"
Song Qingshu frowned and said, "I won't think so."
"But she will be so worried." Icy Snow sighed and explained to him, "Women are meticulous creatures, not to mention Miss Zhao. She will be worried about you. Even though she won't think so now, what about the future? Or what will your other female confidantes think of her? She can't take this risk. After all, it's related to a woman's lifelong happiness. No woman likes her marriage to be mixed with other things. "
Song Qingshu blinked, vaguely understanding the meaning of Icy Snow's words. But he still had some concerns in his heart, "But what if she didn't reject me because of this? What if she simply doesn't like me and doesn't want to marry me?"
Icy Snow rolled her eyes at him, "A woman who follows a man all the time and never refutes the rumors about the two of them in the pugilistic world. If this isn't liking, then what is liking?"
Seeing that Song Qingshu was still hesitating, she walked over and pushed him toward the direction of Zhao Min's room, "You're a man. You have to take the initiative. Hurry up and go."
"Okay. Thank you, sister-in-law!" Song Qingshu was a little depressed because he was too worried about personal gains and losses. Now that he was enlightened by Icy Snow, he regained his spirits.
Looking at the direction where he left, Icy Snow blushed and spat. She mumbled softly, "How many times have I told you not to call me sister-in-law? Otherwise, it feels weird …"
Meanwhile, Song Qingshu jogged all the way to Zhao Min's room. He knocked on the door and said, "Princess, I have something to tell you."
After knocking for a long time, a cold reply came from inside, "I'm sleeping. Let's talk tomorrow."
Song Qingshu smiled immediately, "I happen to be a little tired. Why don't … we sleep together?"
