Eunuch Chen obediently moved aside to make a path into the pavilion.
Xu Ziling’s little heart raced with excitement and the look of joy came over her lovable little face. She walked over to the pavilion with her head hung slightly.
Han Moze didn’t look up from the white jade cup in his hands but flatly said, “You were looking for me?”
Xu Ziling’s face flushed brighter, as she replied shyly. “It has been a long time since I last saw your majesty, big brother. I missed you, so I came all the way to the palace to visit you.”
The look on Han Moze’s face remained unchanged as he raised his cup of rice wine and took a small sip. “If it’s nothing important, then you can head back. I have no time to chat with you,” he said emotionlessly.
It was hard for Xu Ziling not to feel a little disappointed. Big brother still treated her so poorly! Just what on earth did that empress from that political marriage have that she didn’t?
Xu Ziling brows sank for a moment, as she turned to face the lake. “Your majesty big brother, I’m also saddened by her majesty the empress’ disappearance. However, I know that there is no obstacle that can be overcome in life. You must look at the bright side of everything to be able to happily live on!”
Han Moze glanced blankly at Xu Ziling’s side profile, who wore a smile of determination on her face. All of a sudden, he thought about Liu Rushuang’s calm and tranquil face. His dark eyes became even more unfathomable, then he swung his head back and downed another mouthful of wine.
Xu ZIling turned her head and glanced at Han Moze to see him drink so candidly. He raised his head and drank the cup clean, suddenly making her heart race even faster.
I’ll never get bored of looking at your majesty big brother! May the heavens watch over me! Please don’t let the empress return! That way... I can be your majesty big brother’s empress!
With that thought, the smile on Xu Ziling’s face became brighter and more beautiful.
Then, she immediately walked up to the table, picked up the wine jug, and filled Han Moze’s empty cup.
Han Moze saw the rippling wine in his hands and his eyes drooped for a moment in thought. “I will only marry the empress in this lifetime! So you can quit trying to kiss up to me. I won’t marry you!” He said monotonously.
Xu Ziling was so utterly rejected that a trace of awkwardness couldn’t resist but flash across her face. Her smile remained unchanged but she spoke with a slightly shy voice. “Your majesty big brother, I understand how you feel about her majesty the Empress and I don’t dare ask for you to take me as a Concubine, but since the empress has been gone for some time, I hope that I can replace the empress in taking care of you... in the bedroom!”
Han Moze slightly froze for a moment before he furrowed his sharp brows. “Get lost!” He coldly spat.
Xu Ziling suddenly looked at Han Moze in astonishment. Her eyes started to brim with tears and she looked like she had been wronged. It took her some time to forcibly choke back her tears, as she asked, “Your majesty big brother, don’t... don’t you want me to serve you? Don’t say that you despise me?”
Han Moze tightly furrowed his sharp brows. “Go away! I don’t want to have to tell you a second time!” He cried in a chilling voice.
Xu Ziling started to wail and her frail little shoulders started to shudder from sobbing.
She glanced at Han Moze with her watery eyes and aggrieved look on her face. One teardrop after another rolled endlessly from her face, but to her surprise, Han Moze didn’t move an inch.
All Xu Ziling could do was bite her lip in utter heartbreak, then turn and run away.
Han Moze poured himself another cup of wine. As he stared out into the distance and let his thoughts wander, he stroked his wine cup and sent the thought of Xu Ziling to the clouds. His mind was full of the silhouette of Liu Rushuang.
Xu Ziling gazed at Han Moze from the shadows with tightly balled-up fists. “Your majesty big brother, I, Xu Ziling, will definitely think of a way to marry you by every means possible!”
