Chapter 4 She's Scared
The dream last night was so real that she still feels scared. What Gu Zhang said so clearly yesterday, she can also guess that his sweetheart is Zhao Ru.

At this moment, the maid came from outside and told her in a low voice that there was indeed a scholar.

A trace of fear flashed in Liu Chanyi's eyes: that scholar actually existed.

Liu Chanyi shivered lightly, in her dream she was crying out of despair every day, and she never wanted to experience it again in her life.

As long as she doesn't like Gu Zhang, it's fine, she told herself, as long as she wisely stays away from Gu Zhang, she won't have the same ending as herself in her dream.

Liu Chanyi forcibly ignored the pain in her heart and brainwashed herself over and over again.

At this moment, a gentle male voice came from behind Liu Chanyi——

"cousin."

Liu Chanyi was suddenly startled and trembled, she hurriedly turned her head to look, but her foot slipped, she couldn't sit still, and suddenly fell backwards.

The pavilion in the courtyard is a gazebo, and it is ventilated everywhere. If she really fell, she might fall hard.

Hearing that she was ill, the prince was worried, so he came to visit her after the next court, but he surprised her.

Seeing this, he quickly stepped forward to catch Liu Chanyi who was about to fall.

After Liu Chanyi realized who was catching her, she straightened up in a panic.

She lowered her head, lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you, Brother Prince."

The prince was keenly aware of her alienation, he walked around to the pavilion and sat down not far from her.

The prince said gently: "Xiaoya, I heard that you were ill when I woke up this morning. Did the cold wind blow too much in the mother's harem yesterday?"

He looked around the courtyard, and found that there were traces of burned clothes not far away. The prince frowned, and stretched out his hand to call the maid for questioning.

Liu Chanyi hurriedly stopped him, a little embarrassed: "Brother Prince, don't punish her, I made them do this."

A trace of surprise flashed in the prince's eyes.

Liu Chanyi's face was tangled, she didn't want to tell the prince about it, but she couldn't find a reason to prevaricate him.

But the prince didn't ask any more questions, but just like yesterday, he took out something from his sleeve and handed it to her.

Liu Chanyi picked it up curiously, and found that it was actually a Nine Rings.

"Brother Prince," she returned Jiu Lianhuan to him shyly, "I have been stupid since I was a child, and I can't play with these tricks."

The prince was dumbfounded, he didn't expect her to be so magnanimous.

But it is this magnanimity that is extremely rare in today's court.

The prince took Jiu Lianhuan, stood up and sat beside her, and said, "I'm sending you Jiu Lianhuan, just to tell you that there are so many troubles and so many questions in this world, it doesn't make sense that every question will get the most perfect answer." .”

Smoke billows from the kitchen in the distance, and the sunset glow in the sky has unknowingly dyed the whole sky red, and a few birds are tired from flying, and stop on the roof of Liufu.

The prince patiently explained to Liu Chanyi with half-understanding eyes: "Look at me, once I become a prince, one person is under one person and over ten thousand people, but I also have many things that I can't ask for."

Liu Chanyi asked ignorantly: "Brother Prince, what can't you get?"

The prince smiled wryly.

There are too many, and the heart of the person in front of him is the most important one.

He shook his head, dismissed the redundant thoughts, and said instead: "Xiaoya is a girl in the boudoir, and Zhao Ru is a border general. Xiaoya envies Zhao Ru for being able to fight the enemy bravely in the frontier, but how do you know that Zhao Ru never envied you?" ?”

"Everyone has their own fate, Xiaoya is the most outstanding woman in the eyes of my brother."

Liu Chanyi met his gentle gaze and suddenly realized that he might know everything.

Bean-sized teardrops rolled down drop by drop, hitting the blue brick crisply, Liu Chanyi could no longer suppress the grievance and fear in her heart.

While sobbing, she spoke intermittently: "Brother, he doesn't like me, he said he hates me... this kind of delicate woman who always cries..."

The prince no longer cared about etiquette, and took her into his arms distressedly.

At this moment, he is no longer the prince, no longer her suitor, but the brother next door who grew up with her.

At this moment, a lukewarm mockery suddenly came from the courtyard——

"It seems that the king's arrival is unlucky, disturbing the elegant taste of the prince and the county magistrate."

Gu Zhang stood not far away, watching the two embrace each other, his eyes were filled with joy and anger.

Gu Zhang was wearing a black cloak, a pure black fox fur scarf around his neck, and a Pisces jade pendant around his waist. He was holding a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, which he bought along the way.

The news of Liu Chanyi's illness yesterday alarmed the palace, this morning the emperor summoned him into the imperial study, and chatted with him for a long time in a friendly tone.

The purpose of the conversation is only one, let him come to see the little girl, it is best to comfort her.

Gu Zhang hated being threatened the most in his life, but he had no choice but to say that the person was the emperor's brother, so he had no choice but to come here reluctantly after he came down to court.

Unexpectedly, just after he came in, he saw such a scene of concubine love.

"The county lord just expressed his heart to this king yesterday." He took a few steps forward and looked at Liu Chanyi sarcastically, "I originally thought that the county lord was deeply affectionate, but looking at it this way, I think I'm pretending to be affectionate."

Liu Chanyi's complexion turned pale.

The prince let go of his hand quickly, he stood up, and explained: "Uncle Huang misunderstood, Gu was just comforting her, please don't misunderstand, Uncle Huang."

The two looked at each other for a moment, Gu Zhang looked at him indifferently, and suddenly sneered: "Misunderstanding is misunderstanding, it doesn't matter, anyway, the king didn't like the county lord from the beginning."

"Just a kind reminder to the crown prince." He casually took a few steps forward, "Even the crown princess who has never been married should keep a distance from her."

"Uncle be careful!"

Anger flashed in the prince's eyes, but considering Liu Chanyi was present, he had no choice but to forcefully press down: "The reputation of the daughter in the boudoir is important, please don't make unreasonable remarks."

"Oh."

Gu Zhang and Liu Chanyi looked at each other, and the girl timidly looked away, as if she didn't dare to meet his gaze.

Yesterday, the scene of the girl looking at him with curved eyebrows and eyes full of admiration flashed through my mind. Gu Zhang pursed his lips, feeling a little irritable for no reason.

He endured it, but he still couldn't hold back, and taunted: "Didn't the county lord just meet the king yesterday, why, the crown prince is here today, and you don't know the king anymore?"

Liu Chanyi lowered her eyes, staring at her embroidered shoes, unwilling to speak.

Gu Zhang, who was full of sarcasm in front of him, coincided with the man in the wedding dress in the dream. The face that he thought was exceptionally handsome and good-looking when he looked at it yesterday made him tremble with fear when he saw it today.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Gu Zhang couldn't help raising his voice: "Why, is the county lord dumb?"

Liu Chanyi trembled uncontrollably.

She pinched her palm tightly and told herself desperately: Absolutely, absolutely never surrender your sincerity again, otherwise all you will get is ruthless ridicule and sarcasm.

The crown prince couldn't stand it any longer, and gave Gu Zhang a warning look: "Uncle Emperor, please stop in moderation."

Gu Zhang sneered, feeling that it was not worth it for him to compete with a little girl.

"That's right, the county lord is now accompanied by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so there is no need to know the king again."
