Chapter 137 I miss you
The Fourth Prince's Mansion was built right next to the Princess's Mansion, and I don't know if it was intentional.
Anyway, Gu Huaizhou said no.
Yan Qing just pretended it was not the case.
The welcoming banquet was held at the Fourth Prince's residence and hosted by the Queen herself.
It is not uncommon for the queen to hold a banquet in the palace, but this is the first time she has held a banquet in the prince's mansion.
It almost shocked the whole government and the public.
All the civil and military officials and common people praised the Queen for her generosity and virtue. She said that she loved her own son, the Prince of Qi, more than she did.
When Yan Qing heard the news, she only felt sad.
"what happened?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in my ears.
Yan Qing turned around and suddenly bumped into someone's cheek. The moment their skin touched, both of them were stunned.
On the other hand, Luzhi, who was standing by, quickly covered her eyes and retreated with the palace maids, laughing secretly.
Yan Qing's cheeks suddenly turned red.
She took a step back and pressed her chest: "Why...are you here?"
Gu Huaizhou was not ashamed at all.
He looked straight at Yan Qing until she glanced away before he spoke: "We haven't seen each other for several days. Qingqing, don't you miss me?"
Yan Qing's cheeks turned even redder.
Gu Huaizhou didn't insist. Instead, he stepped forward and tentatively hooked his hand around Yan Qing's pinky finger, looking aggrieved. "Recently, my father asked me to oversee the construction of the Prince's Mansion. Those people are completely useless. I have to personally direct everything, leaving me no time to come see you..."
The man took advantage of the situation and grabbed the small hand with his big hand.
The voice approached: "Qingqing, I miss you..."
Yan Qing subconsciously wanted to struggle, but suddenly felt her shoulder sink. She glanced sideways and saw that it was Gu Huaizhou who put his head on her shoulder.
"Don't move, let me lean on you."
A trace of fatigue appeared between the man's brows.
Yan Qing's heart softened instantly. She reached out and touched his brow, saying softly, "Take a rest if you're tired."
Gu Huaizhou's eyes dimmed slightly, and he took advantage of the situation and scratched her palm.
Yan Qing's heart suddenly sank.
It felt like being severely burned.
Before he could dodge, he was grabbed by someone.
Gu Huaizhou raised his eyes and looked at her steadily, his voice hoarse: "Qingqing..."
"Don't look at me like that..."
Yan Qing's heartbeat seemed to be out of control, and she didn't dare to look into Gu Huaizhou's eyes. His eyes seemed to be on fire, and one look at them would burn her to ashes, so turbulent and hot.
"I'm about to..."
The man suddenly started to act like a child, and his voice was seductive and alluring.
Yan Qing couldn't help but look at him.
The four eyes met.
Bang!
Like a ball of fire exploding in the air.
Yan Qing felt as if her eyes were stuck, fixed in the man's dark and deep pupils, motionless.
Heartbeat out of control.
The dark fire is surging.
The man curled his lips triumphantly and leaned forward.
"Miss, I made a few things..."
Qingluan's voice stopped abruptly.
She stared blankly at the two figures in the pavilion.
The young lady just said she had no appetite, so she went to the kitchen to make a few side dishes, but...
Qingluan stared at Gu Huaizhou with wide eyes: "Fourth, Fourth Prince..."
Yan Qing woke up instantly.
She suddenly pushed Gu Huaizhou away and glared at him fiercely.
Asshole, I almost got fooled again!
She was really out of her mind. She was always seduced by this guy's beauty and almost got taken advantage of by him again.
"Bring it in."
Yan Qing suddenly stepped back, putting some distance between herself and Gu Huaizhou, and then she forced herself to remain calm and said, "It just so happens that this princess is a little hungry."
Qingluan came back to her senses and chuckled.
The Fourth Prince’s feelings for the princess are almost announced to the world, but the princess is still deceiving herself.
"Yes, county lord."
After putting down the meal, Qingluan quickly retreated.
In the octagonal pavilion, only Yan Qing and Gu Huaizhou were left.
"you……"
Without any outsiders around, Yan Qing's heart, which had just calmed down, began to beat uncontrollably again. She didn't know what was going on. Recently, whenever she was alone with Gu Huaizhou, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"It smells so good. I'm hungry too..."
Just as Yan Qing was thinking about how to get rid of this troublesome person, someone had already lifted his robe and sat down. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating without any hesitation. As he ate, he praised: "Qingluan's cooking skills are good. These are all Qingqing's favorites."
Yan Qing was about to scold him, but swallowed it back when he heard his last sentence.
She sat down at the stone table unwillingly.
Gu Huaizhou immediately served her a bowl of crucian carp soup and said seriously, "I just tasted this soup. It's rich but not greasy, fragrant and sweet, with less salt and oil. It's the taste you like..."
Yan Qing looked at the milky white soup in front of her and was slightly stunned.
She doesn't like oily food, so the meals Qingluan prepared for her were low in salt and oil. She didn't expect that Gu Huaizhou even knew her taste?
But they had never eaten together before.
"what happened?"
Seeing her stunned, the man asked doubtfully, "Is it not to your taste?"
"without……"
Yan Qing shook her head, picked up the spoon and took a sip. The fragrant fish soup warmed her stomach and her heart.
Yan Qing raised her eyes to look at the man, her expression unconsciously softening.
Gu Huaizhou didn't notice any difference at all.
He was indeed hungry.
After picking up a few more of Yan Qing's favorite dishes, he began to wolf them down by himself.
However, a man's cultivation is engraved in his bones.
Although he moved quickly, he was still graceful and elegant, with a strange beauty that was slow and yet sweeping.
"Didn't you have dinner at the Prince's Mansion?"
Seeing him like this, Yan Qing couldn't help but ask.
Gu Huaizhou drank a mouthful of soup and shook his head: "My father summoned me to the palace this morning. I accompanied him to review a bunch of memorials, and then I encountered..."
After a pause, Gu Huaizhou suddenly wiped his mouth and looked at Yan Qing: "Qingqing, the eldest princess has been released, you have to be careful."
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is it the Queen who asked for your favor?"
Gu Huaizhou nodded: "She wanted to hold a welcoming banquet for me and choose a concubine for me. It was done to look good, and I couldn't say anything. So when the Queen proposed to pardon the eldest princess, I agreed."
It's really unique to call your emperor an old man.
Yan Qing smiled: "I understand."
When she heard that the Queen was going to hold a grand banquet for Gu Huaizhou, she guessed that the eldest princess might be released.
The eldest princess had quite a few complaints against her because of the incident with Prince Consort Lu, and she had been under house arrest by the emperor for such a long time, so it seemed that he would not let her go easily.
But Yan Qing was not afraid.
She put down the spoon and said, "I'll be careful."
"Liying."
Gu Huaizhou was not reassured, so he suddenly called out his secret guard Li Ying: "You will stay by the princess's side and protect her from now on."
Li Ying raised his head suddenly: "Master..."
"My words are no longer effective?"
The man's brows darkened, and he instantly looked like a ruler dominating the world. Even Yan Qing was startled.
Li Ying lowered his head: "Yes."
Gu Huaizhou then looked at Yan Qing with a gentle expression: "Qingqing, from now on, let Li Ying be by your side to protect you. This way I will feel more at ease."
Yan Qing seemed to have seen something in his dream just now—
That ruthless and murderous Gu Huaizhou!
Emperor in the previous life!
