The Queen of Qing Dynasty is beautiful and kind

Chapter 402
After Gu Qinghuan followed Ah Shuang to the back of Qianqing Palace for a while, she smelled the faint fragrance of plum blossoms.

The fragrance is a bit vague, but it is a bit different from the richness of wintersweet.The red plums in the twelfth lunar month of winter are not only eye-catching, but also have a long-lasting fragrance.

No wonder the ancients always had countless praises for Hongmei, in fact, some reasons can be glimpsed from it.

"Does Fujin still feel bored? The fragrance smells really good."

Ah Shuang stopped in her tracks, closed her eyes and took a soft breath.Sure enough, after the fragrance entered the tip of the nose, all the boredom in the temple before was swept away.

"It seems to be much better." Gu Qinghuan stopped and looked at the faint plum trees in the distance, and said, "The plum trees in the palace are more beautiful. There are only one or two trees in our house, it's too few."

The place in the palace is large, and a small plum grove can also be planted.

There is only so much space in Si Age's Mansion, once there are more types of trees planted, naturally there will only be one or two red plum trees.

"If Fujin likes red plums..." Ah Shuang tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "When the maidservant is going out another day, why don't you buy some and put them in a bottle?"

"When the servant girl went out a few days ago, I saw a peddler selling it."

"Alright." Gu Qinghuan felt that this idea was good, and said again: "We've been out for a while, it's time to go back."

Before she came out, she had made an agreement with Yinzhen, and she only came out for a quarter of an hour.

"En." Ah Shuang nodded, and reached out to support Gu Qinghuan's hand.The snow on the ground seems to have just been swept away, but the weather is too cold, if the road freezes, it will be bad, and it will slip.

For the sake of caution, it is safer for two people to support each other.

"Four Fujin?"

As soon as he turned around, a figure appeared in front of him.Gu Qinghuan was seriously looking at the road under her feet, when she heard a somewhat familiar voice, she stopped and raised her head.

The person who caught his eyes was unexpectedly the prince.

How did he get out?Gu Qinghuan recalled the scene when he first came out, at that moment the crown prince seemed...not in his place.

At that time, Gu Qinghuan didn't think much about it... so this guy also felt that the hall was too boring, so he sneaked out?

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Qinghuan bowed his body, which was regarded as a respectful salute.

"Gu came out for a walk at random, and never wanted to meet Si Fujin. It just so happens that Gu has something that has been hidden in his heart for a long time, and he wants to consult Si Fujin. I don't know, is Sifujin free?"

There was a gentle smile on the corner of the prince's mouth, and his attitude was very polite.But I don't know why... When he said this, there was a sense of oppression that people could not refuse.

Lu Qinghuan couldn't help frowning, and quietly looked around.

There are still guards with tight handles all around, and there are people even in every corner.Thinking about it... the prince should not have made any moves.

"Okay." Gu Qinghuan nodded in agreement, and saw the prince pointing in a direction.There, under a tree.

It's just the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the leaves are almost withered.There are quite a few ice crystals hanging on the branches, which look quite beautiful from a distance.

"Fu Jin..." Ah Shuang was still a little worried.In her heart... she was really afraid of the prince of the Qing Dynasty.

"It's okay, you can just stand a little far away and watch, don't worry." Gu Qinghuan said gently, then moved closer to Ah Shuang's ear, and said, "There are a lot of people here, so don't be afraid."

Ah Shuang gritted her teeth, and after thinking about it, she stood where she was and watched Gu Qinghuan walk away.

Around the tree, there were indeed slightly fewer people.But only a dozen steps away, there are guards standing.

"Did Si Fujin come out to relax because he felt that the hall was too boring? Or did he come out because he thought such an occasion was too boring and didn't want to stay longer?"

The prince looked at the ice crystals on the treetops, but his eyes did not stay on Gu Qinghuan, and he asked such a question indifferently.

Gu Qinghuan followed the prince's line of sight to look at the tree, and suddenly felt that he was not looking at the treetops, but more like looking at the slightly gray sky.

What does he mean by this question?
Such an occasion is too boring, too lazy to stay longer?Is he asking this because this is what he thinks in his heart?
Does the prince feel that such a Lantern Festival for family reunion is actually too cumbersome and boring?Most people, on such occasions, are just pretending to be lively?

indeed.Many people in the palace are best at doing superficial kung fu.

It's just that... such a "fact" came out of the prince's mouth so easily, without any concealment, which is really surprising.

"That doesn't seem like something His Highness would say."

Gu Qinghuan said: "His Royal Highness occupies a high position, and everyone around him is flattering. It's rare, but he would have such an idea."

Some people, after being praised a lot, float up and don't know where they are.

"Always be prepared for danger in times of peace." The prince smiled indifferently, his eyes looked a little deep.He took a serious look at Gu Qinghuan, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gu Qinghuan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by such eyes, but she still raised her head to meet his gaze, and said, "When I came out earlier, I said that I would go back in a quarter of an hour."

"En." The crown prince responded lightly, but there was still no practical response.

Lu Qinghuan felt even more depressed.It would be good for him to say something like "then you go back".Would it be rude if she just turned around and left?

Just when Gu Qinghuan was thinking about it, and was about to turn around and leave, the prince suddenly spoke again.

"I helped you, is that what you are like?" the prince said leisurely.

Gu Qinghuan was taken aback for a moment, just moved his footsteps and then took them back, looking at the prince with some puzzlement.What does he mean by that?Helped her?What are you busy with?Hearing this, it sounded like he was complaining.

Suddenly Gu Qinghuan felt a little nervous, calmed down a little, and said, "I don't know what Your Highness is talking about."

"It's about Suiyuan."

The prince's tone was very indifferent, as if he was mentioning something unimportant, and he said: "Isn't it you who brought this matter to me?"

Gu Qinghuan's pupils contracted for a while, and then he felt a little relieved, and said, "I thought that my goal and interests with His Highness were the same in this matter."

"So speaking of it, it can't be counted as who helped someone. His Highness is in a high position, and if people with ulterior motives around him are out of control, isn't it a bad thing?"

"At the end of the day, it's just a matter of mutual benefit."
