If it were anyone else, they would definitely not dare to talk to Li Huang like this.
But Ning Qi has a special status. He is neither a secret guard of the princess's house nor a bodyguard of the house. Moreover, he is well-mannered and has outstanding bearing. Even the servants of the house will call him "Mr. Ning" when they see him.
Li Huang raised his head from the desk and saw Ning Qi standing at the door holding plum blossoms.
The clothes he wore were the military robes uniformed by the secret guards of the house. The originally dark color worn on him not only did not make him look downcast, but instead added a touch of cold pressure.
She looked at the plum blossoms in Ning Qi's arms and pointed to a vase behind her, "Put it there."
Mo Jingzhan glanced at the plum blossoms in his arms, then at the smoky blue vase behind Li Huang, frowned and said, "Although that vase is good, it's not suitable for this plum blossom."
He glanced around the Li Huang Hall, and finally his eyes fell on the plain vase on the table in front of Li Huang, "This bottle is okay."
"Is it acceptable?" Li Huang couldn't laugh or cry, "This porcelain vase was something that belonged to my mother's palace during her lifetime. It was originally in my father's palace. Later, I saw that I liked it and gave it to me. You actually think it's acceptable?"
Mo Jingzhan obviously didn't intend to explain any more. He went straight to Li Huang and sat down, elegantly inserting the plum blossoms into the porcelain vase one by one.
"Everything in the world that is not absolutely suitable for you can only be regarded as acceptable. This is just right."
Li Huang followed his gaze and saw that this porcelain vase had been placed on her desk for some years. The servants usually had to be careful when cleaning it. Even when Gu Chenzhou took a fancy to it, Li Huang was not willing to let him touch it.
But at this moment, when she looked at Mo Jingzhan who was holding a porcelain vase and arranging flowers seriously, she didn't feel angry at all.
She couldn't help but shake her head and said with a smile: "Since you like it, I'll give it to you."
‘Click’!
There was a crisp sound outside the door, and the two people in the hall turned their heads at the same time, only to see Li Chuchu standing at the door supporting the pale-faced Gu Chenzhou.
Li Chuchu dropped the heater in her hand and covered her mouth in disbelief, her expression as if she had been raped on the spot.
With a livid face, Gu Chenzhou pushed away Li Chuchu's hand holding him, and walked towards Li Huang tremblingly.
There was deathly silence in the hall, and you could hear a needle drop.
Until he reached the desk, Mo Jingzhan had no intention of getting up. Gu Chenzhou's eyes swept over him coldly, and asked in a low voice: "Do you know that the thing you touched is the relic of the late Queen!"
Before Mo Jingzhan could speak, Li Huang interrupted him and spoke first: "Prince Gu is so majestic. I don't know when it will start. The people in my palace also need Prince Gu to discipline them!"
"Li Huang!" Gu Chenzhou was so angry that he couldn't help coughing violently. His face turned red, and he finally stopped coughing. Then he looked at Li Huang with hatred, and advised: "As the eldest princess, you
, how can you have a male favorite in your house and do something so unloving?"
The words "uncomfortable" came out of Gu Chenzhou's mouth, and they were like a sharp knife that cut hard into Li Huang's heart.
She glanced at Li Chuchu's hand supporting him sarcastically and sneered: "In what capacity and position does Prince Gu interfere with this palace?"
"I..." Gu Chenzhou was stung by Li Huang's cold eyes. He took a deep breath and said patiently: "Li Huang, even if you hate me for refusing to marry you, you and I grew up together.
I treat you like my own sister, aren't you doing this on purpose to make me sad?"
"That's enough!" Li Huang's face turned completely cold and he said word by word: "Gu Chenzhou, you talk about your male favorite, and you don't love yourself at all. Have you seen with your own eyes that I and your male favorite do things that are ruining the world?"
Gu Chenzhou frowned, "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it has been rumored..."
"There are rumors that I am dissolute, shameless, and a good-for-nothing idiot! So, Prince Gu thinks so too?"
Gu Chenzhou was stunned for a moment when he was hit with the central issue.
The public has long believed that the eldest princess Li Huang has a domineering temperament and is a shameless waste. Although he has never completely believed the rumors, he has never defended her.
At this time, Li Huang asked, and Gu Chenzhou felt as if a huge boulder had been pressed against his heart, which was heavy.
He opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer.
At this moment, Mo Jingzhan placed the porcelain vase filled with plum blossoms in front of Li Huang, stood up and was about to leave.
He hadn't taken two steps when Gu Chenzhou stopped him in a cold voice: "Wait a minute."
Mo Jingzhan stopped and looked back at Gu Chenzhou.
Gu Chenzhou is known as the most handsome man in the capital. He is knowledgeable and comes from a famous family. He is truly the proud son of heaven.
At this moment, when he was looked at by Mo Jingzhan like this, he actually became more than a little weaker for a moment.
Mo Jingzhan lazily withdrew his gaze and said indifferently: "Is something wrong?"
Gu Chenzhou suppressed his anger and said, "Come out with me."
After that, he took the lead and walked out.
Li Huang frowned and was about to stop her, but Mo Jingzhan nodded towards her and followed her out.
Outside the front hall of the eldest princess's residence, Gu Chenzhou turned his back to Mo Jingzhan and said coldly: "I promise you gold and a sixth-grade official position before you leave the eldest princess's residence."
"Ha!" Mo Jingzhan sneered, which was no less impressive than Li Huang's just now.
"It's just a sixth-grade official position, but Prince Gu dares to speak?"
The sarcasm in his words was undisguised.
It would take at least fifteen years for an ordinary person to sit in a sixth-grade official position. Now that Gu Chenzhou had casually promised, he was unmoved and even made fun of him. Such a contemptuous attitude made Gu Chenzhou very unhappy.
He looked at the handsome young man in front of him with disdain, and tried to reason with him: "I don't care what your purpose is in approaching Li Huang, but I want to tell you that your status is very different, and now she is protecting her for a while.
You, you have unlimited glory, but if you lose power in the future, you will only die."
Mo Jingzhan clasped his hands behind his back and sneered when he heard this, "It seems that Prince Gu is better off for me?"
"I did it for Li Huang." Gu Chenzhou lowered his face and said coldly: "She went astray because of me and made a mistake. Naturally, I should be responsible for this."
Especially when he saw Li Huang smiling at him when he entered the door, Gu Chenzhou had to admit that he was extremely angry.
He had not seen such a clean and pure smile on Li Huang's face for a long time.
But now, not only did she let this unknown person touch her baby, he also smiled so brightly at her!
Gu Chenzhou felt sour in his heart, but he couldn't explain why.
However, the subtle changes in his expression were all caught in Mo Jingzhan's eyes.
He said sarcastically: "Dong Anguo's palace was very prosperous for a while, and he also had an imperial master. I didn't expect that future generations would be so ignorant and stupid!"
"Presumptuous! What nonsense are you talking about!" Gu Chenzhou became angry and glared at Mo Jingzhan and said angrily.
Mo Jingzhan's face did not change and he said calmly: "It's not that Prince Gu can't see right and wrong, it's just that he doesn't dare to admit that he has been blind for so many years and has been teased by others."
"Shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will make your life worse than death!"
Gu Chenzhou's eyes were scarlet and his facial features were ferocious. The anger that he didn't dare to admit when his secret was revealed was vented on Mo Jingzhan.
What he said was right, it wasn't that he couldn't see Li Chuchu's methods, it was just that he was unwilling to believe Li Huang in his heart.
Over time, this distrust turned into a hint in his heart. He would rather firmly believe that Li Huang was inferior to Li Chuchu in everything, so that he could stabilize his position of not wanting to marry her.
Facing Gu Chenzhou's anger, Mo Jingzhan just showed a sarcastic sneer, "Okay, we'll see."
"you!"
However, Mo Jingzhan only looked at him deeply and left with his hands behind his back.
Even the back of the person leaving felt a pressure that made people breathless.
After a long time, Gu Chenzhou breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to enter the inner hall.
