Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 230 Asking to See the Prince
A simple carriage stopped in front of the Prince's Mansion, and a young man with a jade tree facing the wind got out of the carriage. He was tall and straight, with an extraordinary bearing, but his face was a bit haggard.

Looking at the majestic Prince's Mansion in front of him, Gu Lingqing's eyes darkened, and he stood at the door for a long time, hesitating in his heart, and refused to go in.

As early as when Gu Lingqing's carriage stopped in front of the Crown Prince's Mansion, Gu Zixing received a notice from his servants, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he was playing chess with the Crown Princess.

"When he comes in later, he will say that I have something to do and I will come back in two hours."

Thinking about Zhao Min's current physical condition, Gu Lingqing, who was standing in front of the Prince's Mansion, clenched her fists tightly. After a long time, she finally loosened her fists slowly. After taking a deep breath, she walked towards the door.

"I've seen the little prince." When Gu Lingqing walked to the door, the soldiers standing outside said so.

It has to be said that the existence of Gu Lingqing itself is an embarrassing position in this imperial city. After her father, the virtuous king, failed in the bid for the heir apparent with the current emperor, Gu Lingqing survived with great difficulty, but the emperor never No name was given to him.

Although most people call him Little Prince or Gu Xiaowang when he is away from home, it is not known how many people really call him from the bottom of their hearts. .

"Is His Royal Highness in the mansion?" Gu Lingqing said expressionlessly.

The mansion soldier on duty was also clever, and after hearing what Gu Lingqing asked, he gave an ambiguous answer: "Oh, what a coincidence, this subordinate just came from shift, and it's really not good. Clearly, I would like to trouble the little prince to wait here for a while, and the subordinates will go in and report."

There was still no obvious emotional fluctuation on Gu Lingqing's face, she stood still and waved: "Go."

As soon as the mansion soldier passed the side hall, he saw the butler rushing over, and quickly explained the situation to him. The butler remembered what Gu Zixing asked someone to tell him just now, so he told the mansion soldier so. After receiving the order, the government soldiers hurried to the door with the housekeeper.

I saw a very flattering smile on the face of the housekeeper far away, which made people feel very false, even a little ironic: "The little prince is here, and I have lost my way, please forgive me."

"The crown prince is in the mansion. This king has something to discuss with him." Gu Lingqing didn't have the time to say these polite words to him, and asked straight to the point.

I saw a regretful expression on the housekeeper's face: "It's a coincidence that the little prince came here. His Royal Highness just left and said that he had something to do, and it would take two hours to come back! You see, you will come back later , or wait in the mansion?"

Gu Lingqing sneered in her heart. Such tricks are really naive. If it was normal, she would have turned around and left, but now that she has something to ask for from him, Gu Lingqing suppressed her discomfort: "The prince has a lot of things to do every day, so naturally I'm a bit busier than usual, it's only two hours, so why not wait?"

The butler didn't hesitate for a moment, so he took Gu Lingqing to the side hall of the mansion, but he didn't even enter the door, standing at the door and said: "The little prince will wait here for a while, after His Royal Highness returns to the mansion, The slave will tell him."

After finishing speaking, the butler stood respectfully at the door with his head lowered. Seeing this, Gu Lingqing walked to the chair and sat down before saying, "I know."

The butler just left this place. Gu Lingqing sat on a chair and looked around, but he didn't even serve him a cup of tea.

However, Gu Lingqing didn't care much about these, as for whether His Highness the Crown Prince was in the mansion, he also had his own judgment in his heart.

"His Royal Highness, the little prince is already waiting in the side hall."

Gu Zixing was holding a chess piece in her hand, staring at the chessboard in front of her, as if completely immersed in the chess game, turning a deaf ear to what the housekeeper said, but after a while, the piece was dropped.

Seeing this, the housekeeper didn't say anything else, and left the room with his head down.

The crown princess on the opposite side lowered her eyes, with a faint smile on her mouth, she wisely refrained from expressing her own opinion on this topic, as if she hadn't heard it at all.

After the concubine settled down, she saw Gu Zixing on the opposite side staring at a certain point on the chessboard, her eyes were glazed, apparently lost in thought, so she reminded her: "Your Highness, it's your turn."

But Gu Zixing didn't hear what the Crown Princess said at all, she was still staring at that point, not knowing what she was thinking, the Crown Princess didn't urge her anymore when she saw this, and waited quietly for him.

After a long time, maybe half an hour or so, Gu Zixing came back from his own thoughts, looked at the chessboard in front of him and the princess who had been waiting for him on the opposite side, with a look of embarrassment on his face. smile.

"It's getting late, let's come down here in a few days. The king still has business to do, so we'll play games with the princess next time."

After Gu Zixing finished speaking, she got up and stood up. Seeing this, the princess quickly got up and saluted him, and after sending him away respectfully, she turned her gaze to the mess on the table.

Gu Zixing's thoughts are deep and her methods are vicious and vicious, she doesn't have to finish playing this game, she is already at a disadvantage, and it will be a matter of time before she loses.

After Gu Zixing came to the study, she was alone in a room, with the servants and servants retreating, stood in front of the window and looked in the direction of the side hall, unconsciously playing with the wrench of her thumb.

What Gu Lingqing came here for today, Gu Zixing is naturally very clear in his heart, but I am afraid that he will return without success.

There was a strong sarcasm on the corner of Gu Zixing's mouth, and then he closed the window, cut himself off from the outside world, walked to the desk, and practiced calligraphy calmly.

Gu Lingqing has been sitting on the chair, sitting upright, and now an hour has passed, but his sitting posture has never changed, and the expression on his face has not revealed the slightest anxiety.

Gu Lingqing slowly closed her eyes, feeling the breath of the man outside the house. The butler had actually come three times within an hour.

The corners of Gu Lingqing's mouth twitched slightly. Who could compare to himself when it comes to waiting?What I am best at is waiting. I have been dormant in that mountain village for nearly 20 years before returning to the imperial city. Who in the world is better at waiting than me?
"His Royal Highness, the little prince has been sitting in the side hall waiting, showing no signs of anxiety."

After listening to the butler's report, Gu Zixing just said: "Go down."

Since you are so patient, you might as well wait a little longer!
