When Ji Zeyu heard this, he lowered his eyes and smiled, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with letting go of your hatred. You and your family are not fated to be together. Your father doesn't even know that you exist in this world. Now that you can let go of your hatred, you have less burden and pressure. What's wrong with living a carefree life in the future? You don't have to accept those stubborn reasons. As long as you can be happy. "
Pang Xiao was moved by Ji Zeyu's words.
Only those who truly cared about him would care about his emotions and whether he was happy or not.
All this time, he and Ji Zeyu had a tacit understanding of each other, making use of each other and guarding against each other. However, Pang Xiao knew that even so, it was only a means to protect themselves. They had never taken the initiative to hurt each other.
It was extremely rare to be able to maintain this friendship in such a chaotic situation in the imperial court.
"Ah Lan, thank you." Pang Xiao smiled at Ji Zeyu. His smile was filled with pure joy.
Ji Zeyu looked at Pang Xiao's handsome face and could not help but smile, "There's no need to be so polite between brothers."
Pang Xiao smiled again when he heard this.
The two of them rode their horses forward slowly. Pang Xiao laughed and said, "If His Majesty finds out about our current relationship, I wonder how angry he will be."
Ji Zeyu also smiled, "There's nothing we can do about it. Life has to go on. We can talk about brotherhood with Your Majesty, but we have to stay alive. Moreover, you have a family to feed now. It's not good for you to throw caution to the wind and completely disregard your family's elders and daughter-in-law. "
Pang Xiao nodded when he heard this.
"Actually, the three of us were sworn brothers back then. If His Majesty hadn't been so suspicious and scheming against me, I wouldn't have minded risking my life for my brothers. Unfortunately, things don't go as I wish. "
Ji Zeyu also nodded with some regret, then smiled and said, "You don't have to be so sad. Feelings between people are mutual. He schemed against us, so we have to guard against him. But it's different between you and me. Although we sometimes have some tacit understanding, I'm still willing to risk my life for you. "
Pang Xiao knew how cold Ji Zeyu was. But now, Ji Zeyu was able to say it so calmly.
Pang Xiao could only see sincerity in his eyes, without the slightest falsehood or calculation.
"Me too," Pang Xiao said from the bottom of his heart.
When Ji Zeyu heard this, he looked at Pang Xiao and couldn't help but laugh heartily. "That's enough. Fortunately, the two of us were able to maintain our original intentions. "
Pang Xiao also felt quite fortunate.
The two of them urged their horses to gallop around the forest. After saying goodbye, they went back to the city through different city gates.
After Ji Zeyu entered the city, he didn't immediately return to the prince consort's residence. Instead, he circled around and arrived outside the Qin Manor.
He held White Cloud and stood in a secluded alley diagonally opposite the Qin Manor. Only half of his body was exposed, and the other half was blocked by a thick tree trunk. He expressionlessly looked at the bustling Family Qin on the other side.
For Qin Yining's marriage, the Family Qin was also bustling with preparations. There were many people moving in front of the manor, and it was very lively.
Ji Zeyu didn't know why he was standing here. At this time, his heart was empty, and he silently looked at the Family Qin people coming and going in front of the door.
When he returned to the city, for a moment, he really wanted to ask if Qin Yining's feelings for Pang Xiao were serious, or if he was just afraid that Pang Xiao would take revenge and purposely seduced her.
But now, he felt that his thoughts were unreasonable.
Firstly, he didn't have this position.
Secondly, Your Majesty decreed this marriage, so this marriage was already set in stone. To put it bluntly, as long as the two of them were still breathing, no matter what happened, they would still have to get married.
Since things had already come to this, what was the use of saying more?
Moreover, Pang Xiao liked Qin Yining so much. Even if Qin Yining was a bit arrogant and willful, perhaps Pang Xiao would still find it interesting.
Ji Zeyu lowered his eyes for a moment and laughed self-mockingly. He took the reins and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, at this time, he suddenly saw a carriage turn the corner and slowly stop in front of the Qin Manor.
A familiar and graceful figure got off the carriage with the help of a servant girl and was about to head into the manor.
White Cloud, who was beside Ji Zeyu, seemed to recognize the figure. It impatiently kicked its horse's hooves and gave a long neigh.
Ji Zeyu stroked White Cloud's mane to appease it. Unexpectedly, Qin Yining seemed to have sensed something and looked in his direction.
The two of them looked at each other. Qin Yining was a bit surprised.
She had just gone to Master Zhong's manor to discuss opening an inn in the capital. She had also promised Master Zhong that he would come to the wedding banquet.
Unexpectedly, she had just returned when she heard the neigh of a horse. Qin Yining vaguely felt that it was familiar. She turned around and saw the red-clothed youth who was half hidden behind a big tree. However, his presence didn't weaken at all.
Ji Zeyu was really too handsome. He was so handsome that his presence was so strong that it was impossible to ignore him.
Qin Yining looked around.
She wasn't sure if Your Majesty's people were watching them. She also wasn't sure if Ji Zeyu knew that the Qin Family might be under surveillance.
However, if there really was surveillance, the Spies would have seen Ji Zeyu as soon as he came. If she didn't take the initiative to go over and talk, it would seem that there was something fishy going on.
Thinking of this, Qin Yining brought Ji Yun around the carriage and walked towards Ji Zeyu.
Ji Zeyu had already returned to his cold and frosty appearance. He looked expressionlessly at Qin Yining who was gradually walking towards him.
He had to admit that Qin Yining had the capital to move Pang Xiao's heart. She had the capital to cause the downfall of a country. Moreover, although she was bright and beautiful, she didn't make people feel that she was vulgar. She also didn't have the fawning face of many women. Instead, there was wisdom between her brows. One look and one could tell that she was a knowledgeable person.
"Prince Consort Ji. Why are you here? Why don't you come in and have a seat? "Qin Yining approached and bowed with a smile.
Ji Zeyu said coldly, "I'm just passing by. I saw that your family was preparing something lively, so I came to take a look. "
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Prince Consort Ji."
"I'm not concerned. I'm just passing by." Ji Zeyu's tone was cold and stiff.
Qin Yining felt a little awkward when she heard this. She smiled awkwardly.
She could tell that Ji Zeyu had always hated her. She didn't know what she had done to provoke him. Could it be that he still hated her for being the daughter of Pang Xiao's father's murderer?
Qin Yining coughed and said, "Alright then. Since Prince Consort Ji has other matters to attend to, I won't force you to come. Prince Consort Ji will definitely invite you to the wedding banquet another day. "
Ji Zeyu looked at her expressionlessly and didn't react.
Qin Yining felt that she might have really offended Ji Zeyu. Otherwise, how could a god-like figure who could lead troops into battle be so inarticulate?
To put it bluntly, it was just that he treated people coldly and disliked her.
Qin Yining didn't want to continue asking for a snub, so she turned around to return to the residence.
However, she heard Ji Zeyu ask, "Miss Qin, do you truly like Pang Zhixi? Will you treat him with sincerity? If it involves the love and hatred between the two families, will you be able to put Pang Zhixi first and everything else second? "
Qin Yining was stunned when she heard this. She abruptly looked up at Ji Zeyu.
