Zheng Xiao Mistake: The Mistake of Rebirth Provoked the Cold Master

Zhu Zheng has been busy like a top these days.

Tingxiaoyuan is located in a remote area, but it is still within the territory of Shengjing.

He never mentioned how Rong Yan was released, and Zhu Zheng didn't ask in detail. Those were not important. What was important was that he was still in prison in name. She was thinking all day about how to hide the unforgivable Grand Tutor.

Rong Yan spent a lot of money generously, and gave all his wealth to Zhu Zheng. When she wanted to give it back, she was not happy. Therefore, in this Tingxiao Garden that nominally belonged to Zhu Zheng, Rong Yan had to follow Zhu Zheng's plan for food, clothing and other expenses.

He is also an easy person to feed and seems like he can survive with just a study.

Feed him what he wants and let him eat. Listen to Zhu Zheng and take good care of his body.

She wears whatever she is given and dresses up according to Zhu Zheng’s preferences every day to make her look pleasing to the eye.

Zhu Zheng soon understood the fun. She was not harboring a wanted criminal, but was clearly hiding a mistress in her golden house.

The two of them were inexplicably reversed: he used to hide her, and now she hides him.

It's strange and wonderful, she wishes Si really has something promising.

Since a beautiful bird should be pampered, no matter whether it is a canary or a pine crane, as long as it lands in her garden, everything will be under her care. She is very experienced in raising birds, and she will definitely raise them to be shiny and plump, and they will never turn into a dumb little bird that can't sing.

Zhu Zheng was afraid that he would be bored, so she searched the streets all day for fun toys, bringing back all the things he had never played with as a child for him.

Neihu Lake was not idle either. He bought about a hundred fish and threw a few pairs of mandarin ducks into the lake, and then towed a small wooden boat for him to go boating and fishing.

Rong Yan was also very good at finding things to do for himself. He opened a small vegetable garden for Zhu Zheng and planted some strange seeds that she bought at the market, but no one knew when they would sprout.

Among the sundry items that Zhu Zheng bought, there was a square piece of topaz jade, which was picked out by Rong Yan.

When Zhu Zheng was taking a nap in the warm room, she vaguely felt Rong Yan sitting next to her. It was not enough that they had been eating and living together recently. He loved to stick to her no matter what she did, but he was very quiet and didn't say anything. Zhu Zheng adapted very well.

After waking up from an afternoon nap, Rong Yan was still sitting there. Zhu Zheng rubbed her eyes and went to see what he was doing, then was pulled into his arms and sat on his lap.

Rong Yan put down the carving knife and held the piece of topaz to show her, "It's just right for carving seals."

She bought this piece of jade while visiting a jade shop. At the time, she just thought it was of high quality and as clear and lustrous as someone's eyes, but she didn't think about what she could do with it.

Engraving seals is really useful.

Zhu Zheng became interested and asked, "What pattern did you carve?"

Rong Yan placed the chapter in her hand, and held her hand together, and even learned to keep her in suspense, "Guess."

Zhu Zheng thought about it carefully.

The most common thing in engraving a seal is to engrave a name. If it were that simple, Rong Yan probably wouldn't let her guess.

The rest were just words and flowers. She couldn't think of any flowers for the moment. As for words, they wouldn't be the kind that would make people embarrassed.

Recently he had been saying a few words like this from time to time, and he was so serious that Zhu Zheng felt her ears were hot.

Realizing that his mind was drifting to something inappropriate, Zhu Zheng cleared his throat and said, "Is that a name?"

Rong Yan didn't answer yes or no. He held her hand, dipped it in ink, and printed it on his palm.

Zhu Zheng lowered her head to look, and saw that it was neither words nor flowers.

"It's a little kite!"

It turned out to be engraved for her.

Zhu Zheng was extremely happy. She had never had her own personal seal before. She printed a bunch of them all over the paper as if they were treasures. She sighed, "My former teacher said that seals are something only people of status have. If you don't write an article, you don't deserve a seal."

Rong Yan frowned slightly when he heard this, and he held her hand and explained, "The seal is only used to stamp a mark to prove who the item belongs to. It has no use like what he said."

Zhu Zheng now understood that the teacher was narrow-minded and utilitarian. It seemed that Rong Yan was only explaining the meaning of the chapter seriously to comfort her, but he just took her hand and made a small kite in his palm. It was hard not to have wild thoughts.

Zhu Zheng tilted her head and said in a very understanding way, "So, whatever I print on, it belongs to me?"

Rong Yan's eyes showed a smile, "Yeah."

His smile was so bewitching that Zhu Zheng smiled too, and took the seal and printed a small kite on his face.

Rong Yan's eyes flickered, and that hint of a smile finally became real, with the corners of his lips curled up.

Zhu Zheng was so moved by his smile that she went a step further and printed a few small kites on his face. Rong Yan had no intention of stopping her and just supported her waist so that she could sit steadily on his lap.

Zhu Zheng stopped only after she had smeared all over his fair face until there was no more space left.

Rong Yan raised his hand to wipe it off, but Zhu Zheng was not happy, "Didn't you say that once it's printed, it belongs to me?"

"It's yours even if you don't print it." Rong Yan answered naturally, "Wipe it first."

Zhu Zheng shook her head, "No."

Rong Yan looked at her deeply and said, "Wipe it off, or you will have to eat it later."

Zhu Zheng paused, "I...you..."

Realizing what he meant, Zhu Zheng was almost speechless.

He has been following me closely these past few days, and inevitably when I need to go out, he can't go with me.

When they separated, she couldn't bear to look at his resentful eyes, so she liked to kiss his face to comfort him. This trick was quite effective, and he would obey her every move after a kiss. Later, Zhu Zheng developed a habit of kissing his face no matter what.

Now he was staring at her with those soft and moist eyes again, as if she was enveloped by the silver light of a full moon. Zhu Zheng's heart softened, and she could only say stubbornly, "I don't want to kiss you..."

Rong Yan was slightly disappointed, "Like this."

His drooping eyelashes made him look even more pitiful. Zhu Zheng was a little hesitant as she held Xiao Zhang, "Anyway... I can hold it in."

Rong Yan whispered, "I can't help it."

Look, he is starting to be serious again and it makes people blush...

Zhu Zheng realized that the atmosphere was not right, but it was too late when she wanted to run away. He pressed her down on the small couch and kissed her.

The two of them fooled around for a while, but soon it ended with Rong Yan reciting the Qingxin Jue several times.

Zhu Zheng nestled in his arms and saw that the ink on his face was smudged, making him look very funny.

The funny Rong Yan had a serious expression, except for his unusually rosy lips. He was holding Zhu Zheng in a daze.

Zhu Zheng poked him, "What are you thinking about..."

Rong Yan wiped the half kite that had rubbed against her cheek and fixed his eyes on her face.

"I'm wondering when I can get married."

The shadows of the flowers at the table moved forward, the sunlight outside the window passed by in the blink of an eye, and more than ten days passed in a flash.

An uninvited guest came to Tingxiaoyuan.

Gong Yihao did not have any ceremonial guards, and Zhu Zheng happened to be away when he came for a private visit.

He originally came to find Rong Yan. Matters concerning Rong Yan were listed as taboos in the palace, and no one was allowed to discuss it. Chengyi Palace was sealed and the Taifu Mansion was also raided.

Find an excuse to deliver the things he left in Chengyi Palace, and come to see his young master.

When he found Rong Yan, he was fiddling with a thin bamboo strip in his hand. The first thing he said when he saw Gong Yihao was "Why are you here?"

Gong Yihao touched his nose and said, "I'm worried that you won't be used to the emptiness after losing your official position."

Rong Yan lowered his head again, "It's not empty, I'm very busy."

Gong Yihao: "What are you busy with?"

Rong Yan said calmly, "Today I will make two lanterns for her to play on the lake, and tomorrow I will make a swing for her and put it in the East Garden."

Gong Yihao: “…….”

When he saw Rong Yan again, he was radiant and dressed in fancy clothes, completely different from the half-dead look he had in the imperial prison, and he knew what a comfortable life he was leading.

I couldn't help but sigh. Fourth sister really fell for his tricks. It would be great if Qingqing was also so easy to please.

Thinking of his chaotic affairs, Gong Yihao looked depressed and turned to talk about business. "Gong Yixiu is locked up in a secret cell. He can't even be tortured. I have to take good care of him."

Rong Yan said casually, "Then keep it."

Seeing that he didn't care, Gong Yihao said seriously, "As long as the symbiotic poison is not resolved, I will not be able to rest easy."

"The mother poison is unclear and cannot be cured." Rong Yan paused and looked up at him. "Hanging a sword beside your pillow is a spur to your majesty."

Gong Yihao was startled. This was the tone that Rong Yan always used to criticize him.

Rong Yan's way of dealing with the world has always been to coexist with pain. Sharpening is just a necessary carving knife, and it is never a reason to give up.

But now that all the hardship has finally come to an end, he certainly won't want to let his fourth sister live a miserable life with him.

Gong Yihao took out a letter of appointment and said, "Since you have nothing to do, I will appoint you as the lieutenant of Sili, and make you an imperial envoy under a different name. Take my fourth sister with you to travel around the nine continents. Maybe you can find a way to solve this poison."

Gong Yihao was thoughtful and considerate. Because Rong Yan had blocked his retreat, the consequence was that he could only hide his identity in Shengjing and could not see anyone.

If he wants to be with Zhu Zheng openly, the only way is to leave Shengjing and live a free and carefree life like a god.

Unexpectedly, Rong Yan didn't appreciate it at all, "How can she be willing to go with me if her sister is held hostage?"

"What do you mean by holding her?" Gong Yihao was slightly dissatisfied. "That's my queen."

Rong Yan did not refute, "Put the document aside. It is a time of trouble. Your Majesty should be diligent in government affairs and not think about leaving the palace all day long."

Gong Yihao: "Does this mean you want to drive us away?"

Rong Yan did not deny it at all, and even added, "Your Majesty, please don't come here again in the future. I'm afraid she will see it and misunderstand me."

Gong Yihao: "...What's the misunderstanding?"

Rong Yan: "Misunderstanding, I don't want to marry into the family."
