Snowflakes fluttered, the northern wind whistled, and the world was a vast expanse …
For some reason, this scene appeared in Xue Pan's mind. It took him a long time to catch his breath. He forced out a smile and asked, "What business does the princess have with Baoyu at this hour?"
Gu Zixian frowned and a trace of impatience appeared in her eyes, "What does it have to do with you?" The people of the Western Regions were more direct than those of the Central Plains.
Xue Pan felt like his heart was about to shatter into pieces. He had wanted to leave in a fit of anger, but when he smelled the faint fragrance coming from her body and saw her beautiful eyes, he couldn't bear to move away. He could only console himself that the customs of the Western Regions were different and that she definitely wouldn't hurt him on purpose.
After thinking about it, he decided to give her a friendly reminder, "What I mean is that the princess is going to a man's room at this hour. If word gets out, it won't be good for the princess's reputation."
Gu Zixian tilted her head slightly, "I don't mind, so why are you so nervous?"
"I!" Xue Pan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. As a disciple of an aristocratic family, he still had his pride. How could he not be angry when a woman spoke to him like this?
He snorted and turned to leave, thinking to himself, 'If I ever pay attention to you again, I'll be a bastard!'
Seeing his back, Gu Zixian suddenly had a thought and called out softly, "Please wait a moment, young master Xue."
Hearing her call, Xue Pan immediately turned around and smiled flatteringly, "Princess, what business do you have?" At the same time, he inwardly despised himself for being such a bastard. However, when he saw her tall figure and the faint fragrance in the air, his emotions quickly dissipated.
"There's something I'd like to ask young master Xue." Gu Zixian remembered that she had a favor to ask, so she purposefully made her tone softer.
"I wouldn't dare to ask for advice. Princess, please speak your mind. I'll tell you everything I know." Although he couldn't see her face, he could tell from her curved brows that she was smiling. Just thinking about her smiling at him made Xue Pan's body go limp.
"I want to know what kind of person young master Jia is." Gu Zixian looked at him expectantly.
Xue Pan's smile froze on his face. Why did he suddenly feel like crying?
"Young master Xue, young master Xue?" Gu Zixian was a bit confused. "You don't know? I'll ask someone else. "
"I know, I know." Xue Pan had no choice but to swallow his words. "Baoyu and I are very close. We are close brothers."
He gritted his teeth and spat out the words "iron brother".
"Hmm ~" Gu Zixian blinked, looking very interested as she waited for the rest of the story.
He could almost see the stars in her eyes. Xue Pan was about to cry, but he had to answer, "Baoyu is the son of the Prime Minister and the Privy Council Commissioner, Jia Shidao."
"Yi, so it's a famous family." Gu Zi Xian's tone seemed to contain some joy.
Xue Pan was on the verge of cursing. I've told you about my family background before, and it's clearly more or less the same, but you didn't respond at all.
"His family background is indeed not bad. Unfortunately, his father passed away not too long ago. He's not as good as he used to be." Xue Pan thought, let's see what you have to say now.
"Ah?" Gu Zi Xian cried out in shock, "So he had such a tragic life, but I can't feel it from him at all. It can be seen how strong of a man he is."
Xue Pan didn't even have the energy to retort. Why is your way of thinking different from others? In such a situation, shouldn't you say that the surname Jia is cold or unfilial?
Xue Pan decided to continue with the strong medicine, "Baoyu is a famous devil in Lin 'an City. Not only does he like to take liberties with the maids in his residence, but he also likes to linger around the brothels. It can be said that he has lovers everywhere in Lin' an City."
Gu Zi Xian blinked, opened her red lips slightly, and commented, "To be able to attract so many lovers, Young Master Jia is really charming."
Xue Pan looked at her with a "are you kidding me?" After confirming that she really thought so, he wondered if the women of the Western Regions were different from the Central Plains. Did they all appreciate this kind of thing?
Therefore, he decided to reveal his glorious past appropriately, "Actually, I didn't tell you before. Baoyu and I are brothers, right? We often go to brothels together, and I have more lovers than he does. People call me the Little Overlord of Lin 'an."
Unexpectedly, Gu Zi Xian frowned, "So it means that you brought Young Master Jia to such places before?"
Xue Pan faintly felt that something was wrong, but he still nodded instinctively.
Gu Zi Xian said indifferently, "Young Master Jia is like an immortal. Young Master Xue shouldn't influence him too much in the future."
Xue Pan felt that he was about to shut himself off. What was wrong with him just now? Why did he insist on staying behind to answer her question? However, seeing that she was so beautiful, he really couldn't get angry at her. He could only blame everything on Jia Baoyu. He thought to himself, that bastard, not only did he flirt with my sister, but he also flirted with other men. Now, he actually flirted with his future sister-in-law.
As for Gu Zi Xian not admitting their relationship, Xue Pan didn't even think about it. He had already unilaterally declared his sovereignty over her.
"Oh right, does Young Master Jia know martial arts?" Gu Zi Xian asked the question she was most interested in.
"Martial arts?" Xue Pan finally became spirited, "Hahaha, that fellow Baoyu is famous for being neither literate nor skilled in martial arts. With his scholarly and weak appearance, it would be strange if he knew martial arts. If Princess is interested in martial arts, you can find me. I am strong and strong. Moreover, I have learned a high level martial arts from a famous teacher since young. "
"You?" Gu Zi Xian sized him up. His eyes were frivolous, his breathing was chaotic, and his steps were unsteady. Although he knew martial arts, it wasn't very high.
Soon, she no longer paid any attention to him. Instead, she pondered about Jia Baoyu. Why did he hide his martial arts from the public? Could it be that he was guarding against some danger, or was he preparing some scheme?
As expected, he was a man full of mystery and charm.
Seeing that she had more or less gathered enough information, Gu Zi Xian was no longer interested in wasting time with Xue Pan. She bid him farewell and walked towards Song Qingshu's room.
After walking for a while, she suddenly frowned and turned around. She found that Xue Pan was reluctantly following behind her. Gu Zi Xian couldn't help but ask, "Does Young Master Xue have anything else to say to me?"
"N-nothing, I'll be going back now," Xue Pan replied in a panic. Xue Pan replied in a panic. The other party's eyes were too bright, as if they could see through his heart. He couldn't even think of lying.
Gu Zi Xian continued to stare at him until he turned around and left. Only then did she continue on her way.
In a room not far away, Xue Baochai pushed open a crack in the window and gazed at her back. Just what was this woman planning to do? Was she shameless to go to a man's room so late at night? However, she had the responsibility of escorting the Southern Song diplomatic mission and didn't want to complicate matters. Moreover, the other party was a princess. She was also worried that it would cause a diplomatic dispute, so she didn't go out to stop her.
The yellow-robed woman next door also had a pensive look on her face. Was she really after the Southern Song delegation? It seemed that she would have to raise her guard.
Arriving at Song Qingshu's door, Gu Zi Xian stopped. Just as she was about to knock, she suddenly retracted her hand. She found that she was actually a bit nervous. How many years had it been since something like this had happened? In all these years, only men had been at a loss in front of her. How could she be nervous?
However, she was nervous and her heartbeat sped up. She tidied up her clothes and confirmed that she hadn't neglected her manners before knocking on his door again.
