Chapter 498
The other girls knew what Gu Zezhi was going to do when they saw his posture. They all stopped their movements and were stunned.
Never before did these women see a man throwing red ropes under the osmanthus tree, so this was the first time they witnessed such a scene.
Amidst the scorching gaze of the crowd, Gu Zezhis red rope was gently and skillfully thrown up, flying higher and higher, accurately hanging onto the highest branch of the Osmanthus tree.
When the wind blew, all the red ropes hanging from those branches swayed in mid-air along with the branches and leaves, and these wooden plaques collided together in twos and threes, producing a crisp sound.
Qin Jiu looked up and looked at the two wooden plaques with their names written on them at the highest place bumping against each other and snuggling up with the pull of the red rope, she could not help but curl her lips and smile.
She reached out and hooked her index finger, shook it, clasped her hands together, lowered her eyelids, and made a prayer gesture towards the osmanthus tree.
Gu Zezhi also clasped his palms and silently prayed in his heart, completely unaware that Qin Jiu quietly opened one eye. In her dark-jade-like pupils, there seemed to be a little golden light shining on the clear lake surface, and her smile rippled with the ripples of lake water.
After the two had prayed, they left together hand in hand, and those girls looked at the pair with envious gazes, someone even muttered softly, When I get married, Ill bring my husband along to return the favor!
Other people nodded with deep agreement; only in this way could they be sincere and find a good husband like that beautiful lady!

Gu Zezhi accompanied Qin Jiu onto the carriage, taking her slender shoulders and letting her lean into his arms.
After tossing from side to side for almost a day, Qin Jiu feels a little tired. She leaned lazily on him, rubbing her head lovingly into his arms and putting her cold hands into his sleeves to draw warmth from his body temperature.
Gu Zezhi kissed the top of her hair and suddenly said, After New Years Eve, well have to make a trip back to the Western Frontier.
Qin Jiu responded absentmindedly, greedily crawling her cold fingers a little further into his sleeve and letting out a sigh of contented tenderness.
In this cold winter, Gu Zezhi was a humanoid heater that did not require charcoal fire, which was awesome.
Gu Zezhi felt a little itchy from her restless fingers, so he simply let her rest on his lap and covered her cold hands with both hands.
The imperial physician said that because she had a difficult life in those years, with a weak foundation and weak qi and blood, her hands and feet would become colder in winter than normal.
In the past year, although Empress Wei and the Qin family had given her some good nourishment, the task of recuperating her body was not something that could be done overnight. She needs to slowly recover for two to three years
