After everything was ready, Nicole brought Su Feiran and Xun Yin in.

Su Feiran looked at Xie Zhiqi sitting on the chair with a complicated look in his eyes, and he roughly understood what was going on.

"Why are you so distant from me after not seeing me for just one day?" Su Feiran asked Xunyin to stand further away, and ran to Xie Zhiqi's side, looking at her closely. "Could it be that you think I am out of your reach now that you have been favored by the emperor?"

"You——" Xie Zhiqi's face flushed instantly. "The emperor only saw you once. Maybe it will be my turn tonight!"

The three palace maids who were serving nearby were shocked by Su Feiran's bluntness at first, and now they looked at Xie Zhiqi nervously, fearing that the two would start a fight in the small attic.

So, the three of them all tried to stop the fight, and Zhima even rolled up his sleeves.

After a brief stalemate, Su Feiran suddenly moved closer to Xie Zhiqi's cheek, scaring Xie Zhiqi so much that she leaned back and angrily said, "What are you doing!"

"I want to tell you something in private." Su Feiran put on an innocent expression.

"......" Xie Zhiqi looked at Su Feiran with doubt. After a while, she waved her hand and said to Nicole and Zhima, "You guys go out first."

"But Master——"

"Get out, get out!" Xie Zhiqi said impatiently.

Su Feiran also dismissed Xun Yin and asked her to serve outside the hall with Nicole and Zhima. Su Feiran and Xie Zhiqi were the only ones left in the room.

"Okay, there's no one else here now, and you don't have to talk into my ear. It's so corny." Xie Zhiqi said unhappily, leaning against the back of the armchair, getting further away from Su Feiran.

Su Feiran was not polite either. He turned around and sat on the chair next to Xie Zhiqi, crossed his legs, and looked leisurely.

"I went to Chitang Garden to pay my respects this morning, took a walk around the Imperial Garden at noon, and visited Chun Cairen in the afternoon. My schedule is quite full, but it's actually quite boring."

Xie Zhiqi frowned. What kind of words are these? Is paying respects boring, or is the harem boring?

"What do you want to say?" Xie Zhiqi asked.

Su Feiran spread his hands and said helplessly: "Although we didn't have much friendship before entering the palace, at least we are more familiar with each other than other people in the harem. I came here today just to--"

Before Su Feiran could finish his words, Xie Zhiqi interrupted him. She sneered and continued the sentence for Su Feiran: "Do you want to share the reward you asked for from the emperor with me to show that you are friendly and kind? No need for that. Thank you."

"No, how could you think of me like this? Is it wrong to give you something?"

Su Feiran protested in dissatisfaction, and squatted on the chair under Xie Zhiqi's gaze, with his arms around his knees, pretending to be ready for a deep conversation.

"I am Liu Ronghua, but I didn't do anything to you. Why are you suddenly so hostile to me?"

Xie Zhiqi also realized that her attitude was too bad, so she acted sour instead, turned her head to the side and kept silent.

"You're not jealous of me, are you?" Su Feiran suddenly laughed, like a child who had played a successful prank, with a little pride in his laughter, "Because you can't help being jealous of me, so you also hate yourself for being jealous of me, right?"

Xie Zhiqi was provoked by Su Feiran's words and suddenly became furious. She clenched her fists and slammed them on the table!

Bang!

The three maids outside the house heard the noise in the house and were frightened.

Zhima quickly called out to the people in the room, "Master, what happened?"

Xie Zhiqi took a few deep breaths and tried to calm her tone: "It's okay, just continue to wait outside. Don't come in without my order."

After taking care of the maid, Xie Zhiqi looked at Su Feiran again, their eyes met. Su Feiran said seriously, "Yes, I'm jealous of you. You speak foreign languages ​​very well, worthy of the emperor's respect, but not so much. You——"

Halfway through her words, Xie Zhiqi looked at Su Feiran's awkward squatting posture and continued,

"You don't even know the etiquette, but you were lucky enough to meet Ronghua. I don't know how to treat such a tricky person - should I treat you as an acquaintance or avoid you? I have very complicated emotions in my heart, so I don't know how to deal with it. What's wrong with that?"

Originally, Xie Zhiqi thought that she had spoken from the bottom of her heart, and Su Feiran would at least understand her feelings and say a few flattering words. Unexpectedly, Su Feiran did not take her words seriously at all, and was actually laughing.

"What are you laughing at!" Xie Zhiqi said angrily.

"I'm laughing at you for worrying about such a small matter for so long." Su Feiran continued to laugh, "You didn't even come to ask me, but just figured it out on your own, and then you acted so awkward when you saw me. What's wrong with your personality?"

Outside the window, a breeze blew by, and the sunlight filtered through the swaying shadows of the trees and poured into the window lattice, turning into spots of light swaying on the ground.

Xie Zhiqi stared at Su Feiran's pupils intently, and felt that the look in her eyes was transformed from the spots of light on the ground, warm and bright, yet flickering and unpredictable.

"Positions are empty, but what you get is real. You don't have to serve a man you have no feelings for, and you can get something that is worth a fortune. Isn't that wonderful?"

Su Feiran pointed at the brocade he had just brought over.

"Don't be upset. Just leave it as ordinary cloth. Hurry up and make some clothes out of it. Then we can go out and play together in new clothes. How happy it will be!"

"What outrageous things are you saying! Don't you want your head anymore?!"

Xie Zhiqi was frightened by Su Feiran. She didn't care that she was just glaring at Su Feiran and quickly covered Su Feiran's mouth with her hand.

"jdkjadskouvpujja&klnadskmd@ndipqa——"

Su Feiran struggled continuously, but was pushed back by Xie Zhiqi.

Xie Zhiqi looked around cautiously, and only let go of her hand after confirming that everything was fine. Su Feiran then took a deep breath, patted his chest and said happily without any sense of crisis: "Wow, you care about me so much!"

"..."

Xie Zhiqi lightly touched her forehead, not wanting to know how Su Feiran understood it. She just felt that this guy was really careless with his words, and sooner or later he would cause trouble.

"Just now, from what you said," Su Feiran didn't care at all, and was still leisurely picking up grapes on the table to eat, "You are angry that I gave you alms, so you gave you this good thing as if you didn't want it, right?"

Although this was a question, Su Feiran said it with certainty.

After meeting Chun Cairen just now, she figured it out. If she really sent it over so mindlessly, Xie Zhiqi would probably be offended to death.

"Isn't it?" Xie Zhiqi snorted coldly when she was reminded of her anger.

"Oh, look at you--you are so sentimental!"

Su Feiran chewed the grapes, her teeth biting through the thin skin, and the sweet juice exploded in her mouth. She tasted one grape after another happily, not even bothering to say a word.

"What do you mean?!"

"I mean, I just brought those things here for you to see. Who said I was going to give them to you?"

Su Feiran rolled her eyes and started talking, making Xie Zhiqi so angry that she almost overturned the table.
