Chapter 1836 Rong Li's Postscript 24

Zhong Ziyu is now in prison, but it is actually like a vacation.

He does not have to work, does not have to eat cold food, and can visit other cells when he is free. The jailer listened to Jingzhao Yin's words and was particularly tolerant of him. Except for not letting him go to the ground, basically all his requests would be met.

Therefore, when he wanted to meet a guest, the jailer also consciously made room for him.

When Rong Li was led to a clean compartment, he was still a little puzzled, but when he saw the fresh fruits on the table in the compartment and a short fruit knife, his expression showed a brief subtlety.

Not long after, Zhong Ziyu was brought in.

He smiled and saw Rong Li, and teased: "Rare guest."

After that, he sat down, picked up a pear, and began to peel it.

Rong Li tried his best to ignore the fact that a criminal was holding a weapon in public. He focused his eyes on his face and said indifferently: "You are quite leisurely?"

Zhong Ziyu's technique of peeling the pear was very neat, and the skin was not broken. He lowered his head and said: "It's all thanks to you. I didn't have these treatments originally, but you mentioned it to the emperor last time you went to the palace, and the good days came the next day."

Rong Li didn't say anything.

Zhong Ziyu raised his eyelids and said: "The emperor listens to you quite a bit."

Rong Li said indifferently: "You did something for him, so it's understandable that he gave you some preferential treatment. It's not my credit."

Zhong Ziyu finished peeling the pear, put the knife aside, took a bite, and asked vaguely: "Why are you looking for me?"

Rong Li: "Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?"

Zhong Ziyu smiled: "You are not ugly."

That's right.

Rong Li was silent for a moment. He was not good at getting close to Zhong Ziyu, so he kept a cold face for a long time and didn't know what to say next.

Zhong Ziyu had almost finished eating a pear, and seeing that he was still silent, he took the initiative to break the silence: "I heard that you are getting married?"

The topic finally made some progress.

Rong Li asked: "Who told you?"

Zhong Ziyu said: "It's not important, what's important is, is it true?"

Rong Li leaned back a little, his back against the back of the inferior wooden chair: "It's fake."

The topic ended here.

Between the two, the suffocating silence filled the air again.

Zhong Ziyu was almost dying.

He got up and washed his hands in the basin on the corner. While wiping his hands, he finally couldn't help but turned around and asked: "Why did you come to see me?"

Rong Li hesitated.

After a while, he asked: "What else did you hear?"

Zhong Ziyu sighed, sat back in the chair, and continued to open up the topic: "I also heard that it was Princess Wenqing of Xianyan State, and that Yu Wenyao was the matchmaker, and I don't know anything else."

It turned out that Lord Yu Wen had been hinting at him that he was a matchmaker.

It's really a subtle matchmaking, you can't tell at all.

So why let a grown man be the matchmaker? Don't you know that men don't have talent in this area?

Can't you just ask his grandmother? His grandmother's talent in this area can open a class.

Rong Li muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, and his face showed a little coldness again.

Zhong Ziyu tapped the table with his fingers to wake him up: "So?"

Rong Li came back to his senses: "Chouchou often comes to you to talk about her and Gu Chao, so I came to ask you, you should know more about this?"

Zhong Ziyu shook his head: "I am older than you, and I have more life experience than you. I have seen, heard, and known more, but I haven't married and had children, and I won't marry and have children in the future. I really can't say about men and women. Besides, Chouchou comes to me, mostly she talks and I listen. She likes to talk about her family's Marshal Gu, you know it."

After that, he asked again: "Why, do you have troubles in this regard?"

Rong Li didn't want to admit it.

Zhong Ziyu didn't force him.

In the end, Rong Li admitted again: "It's not distress, but a little annoying."

Zhong Ziyu asked: "What's annoying?"

"That Princess Wenqing..." He paused, then continued: "Since she came to Qingyun Country, there have been rumors outside. I didn't care, but people around me always mentioned her. It would be fine if they mentioned her once or twice, but they mentioned her every day, which made people angry."

Zhong Ziyu was surprised: "You have been training in Zhengemen for so long, and you are still affected by these gossips? So you were dismissed from Zhengemen because of your impetuous personality and impatient temper, and you have to work as a barefoot doctor to make a living?"

"Can you speak human language?" Rong Li narrowed his eyes and glared at him.

Zhong Ziyu shrugged, just as if he was not a human being.

Rong Li said again: "I met her twice. She looks good, but her personality is not very good."

Zhong Ziyu understood: "Generally, the princesses have some problems. She is unruly, right?"

Rong Li recalled and shook his head: "No."

"So it's fierce?"

Rong Li shook his head again: "No."

"Cruel? Beat the palace maids?"

"No."

"Fickle? I heard that some princesses in the previous dynasty liked to keep lovers?"

"...No."

Zhong Ziyu was refuted for several of his statements, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Then why is her personality bad?"

Rong Li argued: "Too soft-tempered, too kind!"

Zhong Ziyu: "???"

Zhong Ziyu took a deep breath: "I thought bad personality means defects?"

Rong Li nodded: "This is the defect."

If it wasn't really boring to stay in prison, Zhong Ziyu would have driven Rong Li away by now.

Who is he taking for a fool?

Rong Li had already started to argue seriously: "She smiles with everyone, but she is as scared as a rabbit with me. That's fine, she answers whatever people ask her. Rong Qing talked to her for a quarter of an hour, and she told people what she wanted to do in Qingyun Country, what she was interested in, where she wanted to go, and who she wanted to see."

He snorted: "If we meet again, I guess she will have to tell me her birth date."

Zhong Ziyu was puzzled: "Does she like Rong Qing?"

Rong Li frowned: "It's possible, but when did she go blind?"

Zhong Ziyu: "..."

In general, our young master has a very, very big opinion about Princess Wenqing, so big that he started to nitpick and talk nonsense.

"Anyway." The young master finally made a closing statement: "I avoid her, but it's strange..."

"What's strange?"

"Strange, why do I care about her?"

Zhong Ziyu: "..."

Zhong Ziyu looked at Rong Li deeply for a long, long time.

It took so long that he couldn't see any flowers anymore. He finally gave up and began to admit his mistakes: "Last time I said you didn't have the ability to love, I used the wrong words, I apologize."

"It turns out that you are not insensitive, you just don't have the ability to love."

Rong Li: "..."

Zhong Ziyu said something as a matter of course: "Caring about her means liking her, what's so hard to understand?"

Rong Li seemed to know he would say that, so he asked back very quickly: "When did it happen? How come I didn't know?"

Zhong Ziyu: "..."

Zhong Ziyu still wanted to kick him out.
