I don’t want to be the protagonist of a melodramatic novel!

"Are you talking about General Su?" The Empress Dowager froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. She asked Shen Jiao to confirm.

"Yes, I heard that General Su has not married yet, and has no concubines or maids, and he also makes use of female soldiers.

I think he is a good man for being so self-disciplined and respectful to us women.

" Shen Jiao's eyes lit up, and it was obvious that she had a good impression of Su Jiuyue.

As Shen Jiao spoke, she seemed to think of something:"I remember that General Su was raised by you, Sister Yun, since he was a child, right? Sister Yun, what do you think of General Su?" At this moment, Shen Jiao unconsciously called him by the same name she used in the boudoir.

The Empress Dowager's mind was still buzzing. She looked at Shen Jiao in front of her, and said with a smile:"General Su's character is naturally the best. Although he is a little cold, his heart is very warm. Whoever is good to him, he will return it a hundredfold."

"Really? That's great. I'll ask Jiu Ting if she's willing to meet General Su."Shen Jiao's eyes lit up, which reminded the Empress Dowager of the past. Her former wife was also like this. She hadn't changed at all, which showed that even after she got married, she was still pampered.

"I heard that General Su grew up with His Majesty and is His Majesty's most trusted confidant. In addition to his status as a general, General Su is also the Marquis of Zhenxi. Jiuting is not afraid of suffering if she marries him." Shen Jiao became more and more excited as she spoke.

"I haven't finished yet." Seeing Shen Jiao's impatience, the Queen Mother glared at Shen Jiao, then cleared her throat and said,"Although General Su is a great husband, he may not plan to marry, so don't come to ask."

"Why?" This made Shen Jiao confused.

"I don't really understand, this is what General Su told me personally, and General Su didn't tell me the reason."The Empress Dowager couldn't say it either, so she could only find an excuse to deal with it.

"All right then, Sister Yun, what do you think of the legitimate son of the so-and-so mansion?..."

Shen Jiao saw that the Empress Dowager didn't want to talk, although it was a pity that General Su couldn't be her son-in-law, but she still asked the Empress Dowager about other outstanding young men.

On the other side, Su Jiuyue had a dead fish face, looking at Yunze who was fishing, and the empty seat next to Yunze.

"Why are you standing there looking at me like an idiot? Come and sit down, fish with me, let's compete to see who can catch the most fish!" Yunze looked at Su Jiuyue standing there like an idiot, not knowing what to do, so he patted the seat next to him and motioned for Su Jiuyue to sit down quickly.

Su Jiuyue sat down next to Yunze in silence, and Yunze handed Su Jiuyue the fishing rod he had caught before.

Su Jiuyue looked at the fishing rod in her hand, and for some reason, she felt that it looked more and more familiar.

As for why Yunze didn't ask Eunuch Qing to fish this time?

Yunze said that Eunuch Qing was too much.

But Yunze thought of the time when Su Jiuyue was fishing, and he didn't catch a single fish after fishing for a long time. In comparison, Yunze, who caught one or two fish, was much better.

""Has your Majesty finished reviewing the government affairs?" Su Jiuyue silently took the fishing rod, threw the hook into the pond in the imperial garden, and asked Yunze suddenly after a while.

Yunze got a headache when talking about government affairs, and his mouth immediately complained about the memorials like a machine gun.

"I tell you, it was that prefect who always found a reason to greet me. It had nothing to do with him whether I was well or not. If he asked me again, no matter how well I was, I would be in trouble."

"There is also the governor in the south who asks me every year if I eat lychees. I always say I don’t eat them because eating lychees is too time-consuming and costly. But he still asks me every year."

"besides..."

Listening to Yunze complaining about officials, Su Jiuyue learned a lot of unknown gossip. He supported his head with one hand and quietly served as Yunze's tree hole. It was the same before. When Yunze was the prince, he liked to complain about some officials when he was dissatisfied with them, saying that he must do something.

Now he looks the same as before.

"Hey, General Su, are you listening to me?" Yunze looked at Su Jiuyue who was gradually distracted, his eyes showed dissatisfaction, and he glared at Su Jiuyue.

Su Jiuyue gradually came back to his senses from his memories and said:"I was distracted just now, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Humph, forget it this time, but if it happens again, I will punish you with two pieces of osmanthus cakes!" After saying that, Yunze continued to talk to Su Jiuyue about those outrageous memorials.

After talking for a while, looking at the two fish he caught and Su Jiuyue who didn't catch any fish, Yunze nodded with satisfaction.

He stood up happily. At this moment, he had rested enough, and he had finished talking. He also planned to correct government affairs.

"General Su, are you going to continue fishing here or leave the palace?" Yunze asked Su Jiuyue.

"I will continue fishing here." Su Jiuyue paused here, thought for a while and said,"I will go for a walk with Your Majesty after Your Majesty finishes handling government affairs."

He still wanted to spend more time with His Majesty

"Humph, General Su, you are smart enough to wait for me." Yunze raised his proud head and laughed triumphantly, then turned and walked away:"Look how I review government affairs at a snail's pace, making you wait from day to night."

Although he said so, Yunze quickened his pace, intending to go back and finish reviewing government affairs as soon as possible.

Looking at Yunze's departing back, Su Jiuyue smiled and shook her head, and soon she started fishing out of boredom.

At this moment, Zhao Jiuting, who had just entered the Imperial Garden, was following the footsteps of the palace servants to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the palace.

Although for some reason, the Imperial Garden seemed to lack maintenance, the scenery was still beautiful.

Before Zhao Jiuting had waited for long to wander around, she saw a figure sitting by the pond with her sharp eyes.

"Who are you?"Su Jiuyue immediately felt the movement and looked back, only to see a young girl standing there timidly.

Su Jiuyue saw the palace maids following the Empress Dowager beside the girl, and immediately understood that the Empress Dowager had arranged for this girl to stroll around the Imperial Garden.

Zhao Jiuting looked directly at Su Jiuyue. Although she looked very familiar, she was not sure of the identity of the person in front of her. Just when she was embarrassed, the palace maid whispered at the right time:"This is General Su Su of Su Jiuyue."

Zhao Jiuting also reacted quickly and said:"My humble daughter Zhao Jiuting, meet General Su."

Is this the General Su Su of Su Jiuyue that her best friend has been talking about? As her best friend described, he was a cold-faced general.

Su Jiuyue nodded slightly indifferently and replied:"Su Jiuyue, meet Miss Zhao."

Because the two were not familiar with each other, the atmosphere quickly cooled down after they greeted each other. Seeing that Su Jiuyue seemed to be fishing, Zhao Jiuting couldn't help but ask:"Can you fish in the Imperial Garden of this palace?"

Although the palace servants next to her wanted to say no, they couldn't say it when they saw the fishing rod in Su Jiuyue's hand.

Su Jiuyue shook her head at Zhao Jiuting to indicate that she couldn't fish.

The sight of her fishing while saying that she couldn't fish made Zhao Jiuting's mouth twitch a little.

Looking at Su Jiuyue's cold face at this moment, Zhao Jiuting didn't know why she could see a little cuteness in it.

On the other hand, Yunze just remembered that he had forgotten to tell Su Jiuyue something, and was also going to go back and tell Su Jiuyue in person.

As a result, he happened to see an unknown woman who seemed to be chatting with Su Jiuyue.

【The countdown to Su Jiuyue's confession has begun. 】
