Chapter 248

In a dark corner under the stage where the bonfire could not reach, Wei Hanzhang stood quietly wearing a cloak.

The hood of the cloak covered most of her head, and in the dim light, no one around her recognized her.

And she didn't know what she was waiting for standing here.

The autumn wind kept sending the surrounding noise into my ears.

She saw the man on the high platform nodded lightly and praised lightly: "You play well."

As soon as this statement came out, the surrounding ministers had different feelings.

Or annoyed, or surprised, or envious.

Marquis Yongyi could not hide his joy, and hurriedly said to his daughter, "Why don't you thank His Highness quickly?"

The girl playing the piano showed just the right amount of shyness on her face. She moved her graceful figure to the middle and bowed gracefully: "Your Majesty, He Lian'er, thank you for your compliment."

Xiao Junzhan held the wine glass, looked at the graceful girl with slightly lowered eyes, and said: "Continue."

He Lian'er was startled at first, but then she realized what she was doing, and she agreed with a shy face.

The sound of the piano sounded again, but this time it was no longer a majestic marching song, but an affectionate Jiangnan tune.

Wei Hanzhang grew up in the south of the Yangtze River and also learned piano skills. He could tell that this was the famous smoke and cloud tune in the south of the Yangtze River, which was mostly played by men when they were courting women.

This Miss He has extraordinary piano skills. Her fingering skills on the strings are very smooth and pleasing to the eye. Even those who don't know the name of the music can still hear the girl's shyness and admiration in the melodious sound of the piano.

...who would not like to say "love and concubine" when I see him?

It’s not wrong for men to be romantic, beauties should be paired with heroes.

Not to mention the current prince and future emperor.

Wei Hanzhang stood in the cold wind and listened to the music. He turned around slowly, saw the worried eyes of the maid, smiled slightly and said, "You go back first, I will stay by myself."

The man on the high platform seemed to feel something. He frowned slightly and looked down. After finding nothing, he looked back, raised his glass and said calmly: "How is she?"

Ning Hai, who was standing by the side, quickly realized who was asking the question and said cautiously: "After you left, Miss Wei cried for half an hour. The medicine that should be used at night has just been sent over. She should drink it to prepare for rest."

I cried for half an hour...

Xiao Junzhan paused for a moment. The little girl's eyes were all red and swollen from crying. No one was there to comfort her, so she could only fall asleep aggrievedly.

He tried to suppress his heartache, but in the end he put down his glass of wine and stood up, striding off the stage.

...Why can he cry so much? He thought she would be happy if he left.

The melodious piano music was jittery for a few beats.

He Lian'er, who was playing the piano, subconsciously held her breath as she watched His Royal Highness the Crown Prince approach, who was above all others.

The ministers all had different looks in their eyes, and while they were thinking, Xiao Junzhan walked past her and left without stopping.

Even out of the corner of his eye, he didn't even look at him with pity.

Ning Hai sighed secretly.

Sure enough, except when facing that person, his Highness was still the same as before.

Not close to women, indifferent and desireless.

In the women's banquet, Jiang Zhixue also breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

She said, how could His Highness the Crown Prince, who has eyes so high above his head, fall for such a trivial trick?

That man was so full of heart and eyes that he probably couldn't let go of others.

…………

Of course, the master and the servant were in vain, and Wei Hanzhang was not in the tent.

Lu Zhu said: "The girl said she was getting bored in the tent and wanted to go for a walk by herself."

Xiao Junzhan looked at the empty camp and said, "Did she take medicine on her chin?"

Luzhu lowered his eyes to hide his dissatisfaction: "...I got it."

Xiao Junzhan glanced at her and said, "Did you use your dinner well?" "After a few mouthfuls, I said I had no appetite." Luzhu pursed her lips and suddenly knelt down and said, "I have been serving the girl for many years. This is the first time I see her cry. So sad, just now on the stage, you..."

"You went to the deer competition stage?" Xiao Junzhan frowned slightly, "She cried again?"

"I'm not crying," Lu Zhu slowly shook her head: "But I know that the girl is uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Xiao Junzhan was startled, stood there for a long time, opened the curtain and walked out.

Where is Wei Hanzhang now?
She was by the creek not far from the camp.

I hugged my knees and sat on a big rock, listening to the gurgling water.

There are bright lights in the distance, but here it is dark and no one will notice.

But even this place was being robbed from her.

There was a sound of familiar footsteps behind him. Wei Hanzhang's eyelashes trembled. He lowered his hands holding his face and folded them on his knees, then rested his chin on them.

At first glance, it just makes people feel gentle, peaceful, obedient and cute.

Gu Yunran never thought that these two words would appear on his little green plum.

He stood there and took a deep breath, "It's windy at night. Are you healed? Are you afraid of catching the cold when you go out alone?"

He spoke rashly, and Wei Hanzhang was not surprised. They had grown up together, so don't think that the sound of this man's footsteps could deceive her.

But she didn't want to talk, so she remained silent and motionless.

Gu Yunran waited for a while, thinking of the rumors he had heard in the past two days, he walked up to her and said softly: "Are you in a bad mood?"

Wei Hanzhang lowered his eyes and said, "It's really not good."

Under the moonlight, her face was blurry, but her hoarse voice could not be hidden from anyone.

Gu Yunran's expression changed, and he knelt down in front of her, but with the light behind him, he still couldn't see her face clearly.

I don’t know if she cried.

"Don't stay here anymore," he squatted in front of him, and Wei Hanzhang lowered his eyes just enough to see him, and said, "We have an awkward status and it's hard to be alone."

The young man stood still and said softly: "You have changed a lot."

Such an arrogant and wanton girl would be so cautious.

Wei Hanzhang's nose felt sore and he almost cried again.

She endured it for a long time before saying, "We have all changed. Gu Yunran, how are you doing?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she reacted.

Look what she asked.

His wife had just died, so even if he no longer had any feelings for her, how could he be called a good widower?

Gu Yunran didn't mind at all and just said: "Do you know what the eldest princess said to me on the day Qi Yuxiao was buried?"

Wei Hanzhang tilted his neck and looked at him, "What?"

"She told me that the reason why she forced my family to come to propose marriage that day was because of someone's instructions," he said in a low voice. "Even if the wedding date is so urgent and is set within a month, it was that person who made the decision."

"Ran Ran, tell me, who can force the eldest princess to marry her daughter off in a hurry?"

Does she still need to say this?

Wei Hanzhang lowered his eyes and remained silent.

After waiting for a while, Gu Yunran said: "We originally..."

"We would have had no results in the first place," she interrupted: "Princess Chengyi has fallen in love with you, and the eldest princess is obedient to her, and you and your Gu family can't refuse the eldest princess, even if he doesn't say anything. , you will eventually marry Qi Yuxiao, it’s just sooner or later.”

Gu Yunran's whole body froze.

What she said was right, he had a humble position and Qi Yuxiao insisted on marrying, so he had no choice but to marry her.

He smiled bitterly: "These days, I often think how great it would be if we had been in Xuzhou."
