After a long time, Gu Chenzhou took the lead to break the silence and said lonely: "Since you are fine, I will take my leave first."
Although he said goodbye, his steps did not move even an inch.
If things were different in the past, Li Huang would definitely find various excuses to stay.
But today, she turned her eyes away casually and responded lightly: "Prince Gu, please go slowly, I won't see you off."
Gu Chenzhou's heart sank, as if someone had punched him hard, and he felt a dull pain.
He took a deep breath, pretended to be calm and placed the medicine bottle on the stone table aside, then turned and left.
That back view looks so lonely.
A Yuan stared at Gu Chenzhou's leaving figure and said displeasedly: "This Gu Shizi looks like a human being, how can he be so hypocritical."
hypocritical?
This was the first time Li Huang heard someone commenting on Gu Chenzhou like this.
So she turned her head and asked with a smile: "Oh? Why is he so hypocritical?"
A Yuan snorted coldly, and the elder said with a face: "While he is drawing a clear line with His Highness, he deliberately comes to sell it. This is not hypocrisy, what is this?"
Li Huang was amused by A Yuan and couldn't help but laugh: "You are so young, but you see clearly."
"That's natural. Guard Ning told my servant that if you want to judge a person, you should see whether what he says and what he does are consistent. If his words and deeds are inconsistent, then this person is a bad ruffian."
"Ning Qi is still telling you this?"
Li Huang was a little surprised.
Ning Qi's temperament was usually very worrying, and even the secret guards in the mansion wanted to avoid her.
Unexpectedly, this little girl A Yuan could talk to him.
A Yuan scratched his head and said with a confused look on his face: "Ah? Guard Ning said that His Highness kept A Yuan by his side to help His Highness. A Yuan may not be smart, but he must not have a problem with his eyes. If he cannot recognize people clearly,
If you help the wrong person, you will definitely harm His Highness in the future."
Hearing this, Li Huang was indescribably surprised.
"Then what else did he say to you?"
"Guard Ning also said that His Highness is soft-hearted, and taught Ayuan to help His Highness pay attention. If someone wants to harm His Highness, he must fight back for His Highness. He must not let outsiders bully His Highness."
A Yuan spoke seriously, holding her head and trying hard to recall the principles that Mo Jingzhan taught her.
In her eyes, although Guard Ning is just a guard in the mansion, he knows as much truth as Her Royal Highness the Princess, and he also provides her with new ideas for dishes. Every time Guard Ning proposes a new dish, the taste is outstanding.
.
The more he thought about it, the more Ah Yuan felt that Guard Ning was a good person.
It's a pity that she couldn't hide her thoughts. Li Huang looked at the little girl's slightly red face and couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go clean up and prepare lunch."
"yes."
Ling Yuan worked very efficiently, and with the help of Yun Wai Lou behind him, he found the information Li Huang wanted in just one hour.
In the study room, Li Huang tapped his fingers on the table.
Ling Yuan is reporting the results of the investigation.
"Your Highness, the person who rode the horse yesterday was Mr. Luo."
Li Huang was thoughtful: "Luo Mingchuan? Isn't he still in solitary confinement?"
She remembered that after her father punished Luo Mingchuan last time, her uncle put him in solitary confinement.
It's only been a few days now and it's been released?
Seeing that Li Huang was puzzled, Ling Yuan explained: "I heard that my uncle Guo is not feeling well today. Mr. Luo must have run away on his own."
The current uncle is the elder brother of Concubine Luo, and also the biological uncle of Li Huang.
But in these years, due to the instigation of Concubine Luo and her daughter, Li Huang always felt that her uncle was unhappy with her and treated her harshly.
So later on, I hardly had any contact with my uncle.
But thinking about it now, Li Huang felt that he was so wrong.
The Luo family comes from a scholarly family, and as the head of the Luo family, her uncle has been strict with Li Huang since she was a child, and even taught her lessons in person.
But Concubine Luo provoked her again and again, saying that her uncle just didn't like her.
As time went by, Li Huang became less and less fond of being close to his uncle, and he never even stepped through the gate of Luo Mansion.
When he thought of this, the tip of Li Huang's nose suddenly became sour.
She rubbed her nose, and when she spoke, her voice was a little hoarse.
"Prepare some supplements and go to the uncle's house."
Li Huang had not set foot in the uncle's palace for many years, so when the carriage at the eldest princess's palace stopped, the porter climbed in and ran in.
"Hurry up and tell me, the eldest princess is here."
Lingyuan sighed helplessly, turned around and helped Li Huang get out of the car.
"Your Highness, my uncle has not been feeling well these days. If there is any verbal conflict later, Your Highness should be more patient."
Li Huang knew what Ling Yuan was worried about.
Luo's scholarly family has cultivated women who are all role models for women from aristocratic families, especially her mother, who is gentle and dignified, and is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
No matter how bad it is, he is still as knowledgeable as Li Chuchu.
But he was born Li Huang, with a perverse temperament and a preference for martial arts.
So every time they met, her uncle would speak harshly to her.
Li Huang raised his head and glanced at the three large gilt characters of Guo Guo's Mansion. His scalp went numb and he turned around to leave.
Behind him, a calm voice suddenly came: "Since you are here, why don't you come in yet."
The steps suddenly stopped.
Li Huang turned around expressionlessly and saw the middle-aged man standing at the door of the house.
The man has a delicate appearance, and time has left almost no trace on his face.
Wearing a green brocade robe, he looked elegant and handsome, as tall and straight as a pine tree.
Seeing Li Huang looking at him, Luo Jiyuan said with hatred: "Why don't you get in here."
After saying that, he walked into the house with a puff of sleeves.
Lingyuan looked at Li Huang nervously and whispered: "Your Highness, how about we change the date?"
"No need."
Li Huang shook his head. Not only was he not angry, he was actually a little relieved.
She hadn't heard her uncle scold her for a long time.
She picked up her skirt and stepped into her uncle's house.
Different from the luxury of the Princess's Mansion, the style of Guojiu's Mansion is more refined and elegant.
Although there is nothing luxurious at first sight, once you step here, you will feel a sense of nobility.
Luo Jiyuan sat at the top of the table and looked at Li Huang who came in from the door with a straight face.
"uncle."
Li Huang bowed politely, but before she could get up, she heard an angry shout from above her head: "How many times have I told you that you are the eldest princess, and you must behave with royal demeanor!"
"Now you don't even give up the honor of the royal family for a man?"
Li Huang knew that her uncle was talking about her and Gu Chenzhou.
After all, this matter caused a lot of trouble in the city, how could the uncle's house not hear about it.
Before Li Huang could speak, Ling Yuan quickly knelt down and apologized: "My uncle, please forgive me. Your Highness is injured. Please don't get angry with Your Highness!"
"Injury? Is being injured an excuse?"
After the uncle scolded Ling Yuan, he turned his attention to Li Huang.
He looked up and down her body, frowned, and said angrily: "Yesterday, in order to save people, you stopped the horse in the street?"
Li Huang was not surprised when the news reached his uncle's house.
She lowered her head and nodded: "Yes."
"I know this is inappropriate, but since I am the eldest princess and am supported by the people, I should regard the people as my subjects and love and protect them."
These words surprised Luo Jiyuan.
In the past, Li Huang had a domineering temperament and was spoiled and willful.
Even though she is pure in nature, she doesn't know what it means to be the eldest princess. She only knows how to indulge in love.
It has grown a lot now.
Luo Jiyuan's tone also softened, "Okay, why don't you sit down because you're injured and wait for me to treat you?"
Li Huang: "..."
In the past, when her uncle scolded her, she was filled with disgust and disgust.
Now I feel very friendly.
It's probably the self-confidence of someone really close to you, knowing that he won't hurt you, knowing that he won't really get angry.
Li Huang sat down obediently.
The butler immediately brought fresh pastries.
"Your Highness, my uncle specially ordered this to be prepared for you."
"Uncle knows I'm coming?"
Li Huang asked in surprise. As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Luo Guo said angrily: "Even if you don't come, is it possible that Uncle Guo's house can't prepare some snacks?"
Li Huang couldn't laugh or cry.
None of the Luo family likes sweets, but she and her mother have been spoiled since childhood and have a life-long craving for sweets.
The process of this plum blossom cake is complicated, and it is not a snack commonly prepared by officials. If it is not for her, who is it for?
Thinking of this, Li Huang deliberately pushed away the pastry plate, "Since it's not prepared for me, I won't eat it."
Sure enough, as soon as she said these words, the uncle immediately rolled his eyes.
