Chapter 81: Playing Chess
When Zhang Yuan received the notice that he could start proposing marriage after arriving at the palace, even though he thought he was numb after so many years and all the hardships he had endured, he still felt a surge of genuine joy in his heart when he heard the news.
Even if Zhang Yuan tried his best to keep a straight and honest face, he couldn’t hide the joy spreading in his eyes.
Whether it is sincere or false, you can tell it at a glance.
Although the commander-in-chief said that they would have to wait until October and return from the palace to officially get married, Zhang Yuan had already quietly begun to look forward to it. Where was the dull look at the beginning?
Especially on a certain day on the road, Suqiu got off the carriage and came out to fetch water. Zhang Yuan was even more delighted when he saw her from afar.
As soon as their eyes met, they both couldn’t help but blush before they even spoke.
Suqiu was a shy girl, and after hurriedly fetching some water, she got back into the carriage with a red face, leaving Zhang Yuan feeling lost. It took him a long time to remember what he should do next.
Su Xin and Li Yuheng also saw each other. Unlike Su Qiu and Zhang Yuan, Su Xin and Li Yuheng smiled at each other first. Then Li Yuheng was the first to react and bowed to Su Xin. Su Xin was stunned for a moment, but quickly returned the greeting.
Although the atmosphere between the two was not as strong as that between Su Qiu and Zhang Yuan, it was also filled with a faint friendship.
