At this time, the prince was discussing with Gu Xinian in a low voice in the study. There was no smile on his face, and his eyes were full of gloom: "...Father has made up his mind to embarrass me this time. In a few days,
The formal court meeting is about to begin, and my father has already planned to hand over the affairs of the military governor to the third emperor's younger brother..."
The prince had no idea about Gu Xinian's secret plan.
Gu Xinian had no intention of telling him, and comforted him with a few words of calmness: "It's okay to leave this mess to the third prince. When it's his turn to be anxious, we'll just wait and see the joke."
The prince was very upset and unhappy, and just vomited his bitterness in front of Gu Xinian. He didn't think that Gu Xinian could do anything to turn the situation around - not to mention Gu Xinian, even the emperor himself, when he received the report of the border battle
All he could do was get angry and angry, but he couldn't actually do anything substantial. Just because the emperor was in a bad mood, he took some of his anger out on the prince. So the prince's life became more and more difficult.
After talking for a long time and pouring out all the unhappiness in his heart, the prince finally felt better.
Gu Xinian winked at Quan Fu who was standing aside. Quan Fu understood and calmly retreated to make arrangements.
After about two sticks of incense, Gu Xinian suddenly smiled and said: "Although it is quiet and quiet, it is not interesting to talk in the study all the time. Today is the New Year, don't always think about those bad things, why not go out for a walk
Relax."
The prince did not refuse the proposal and agreed with a smile.
The two of them walked out of the study and out of Izuyunxuan. Gu Xinian intentionally or unintentionally led the prince to the northeast corner of the garden, where several crabapple trees were planted. He and Shen Qiuyu were in love since childhood. They liked to come here the most.
Come play the piano and paint.
This place is also special to the prince.
Back then, he watched helplessly as the girl he liked fell in love with another boy. But he didn't even have the right to be jealous. The feeling of not getting what he wanted stirred up repeatedly in the young man's heart.
Always the best, this sentence was true. The more this happened, the more he couldn't let go of Shen Qiuyu. Finally, under impulse, he asked for help from Mr. Sun without telling Gu Xinian.
In this matter, the prince was destined to be unable to stand upright in front of Gu Xinian. As soon as he walked nearby, the prince's face became a little subtle and embarrassed.
Gu Xinian turned a blind eye and said to the prince with a smile: "Cousin, do you remember these crabapple trees? I used to like painting here the most."
The prince smiled guiltily: "Of course I remember." At that time, Shen Qiuyu was always playing the piano under the tree. Occasionally she raised her head and smiled. She was so beautiful that she was not like a mortal. She easily captured his heart.
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly a burst of music came over.
The prince's heart moved. He reflexively looked at Gu Xinian. Gu Xinian also pretended to be surprised: "Why is there still someone playing the piano here in such a cold weather? Let's go over and have a look."
In fact, even if Gu Xinian didn't say anything, the prince would still be curious and want to see the true face of the person who played the piano.
The prince's footsteps unconsciously became faster, and Gu Xinian saw it in his eyes. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he followed calmly.
Following the sound of the piano, I suddenly saw a slim young woman sitting under a tree playing the piano. Because the girl lowered her head and concentrated on playing the piano, she couldn't see her face clearly for a while. But this scene was too familiar.
...
The prince couldn't help but stepped forward.
When the girl playing the piano heard the footsteps, she felt shy and happy at the same time. She timidly raised her head. Her watery eyes showed a timid smile, which made people feel fascinated. The pretty face of Hibiscus that seemed familiar to her suddenly appeared. The face coincided with that deep in my memory.
"Yu'er..." The prince shouted in a forgetful voice. Only after the voice came out did he realize that something was wrong.
Shen Qiuyu is talking to Sun in Shunyi Hall at the moment. How could she suddenly come here? Moreover, although the girl in front of her looks a bit like Shen Qiuyu when she was young, her temperament is far inferior. She is just better. She is young and very charming.
Gu Xinian then stepped forward and asked calmly: "Begonia, why are you here?"
The girl playing the piano under the tree is none other than Begonia.
She had been staying in Izumo Pavilion for the past few days, but she never had a chance to get close to Gu Xinian. She was secretly worried. Unexpectedly, Quan Fu, the personal servant next to Gu Xinian, specifically asked her to hug her. Qin went to wait for the young master under the crabapple tree. When Haitang heard this, she was naturally very happy. She immediately took Qin and sat down, thinking about using the sound of the piano to guide her direction to the young master, so she started playing hard again. Unexpectedly, the song was still there. Before the play was finished, the young master really came.
What's more, she didn't expect that the young master didn't come alone, but also came with a young man who was dressed in luxurious clothes and had an extraordinary bearing. At this time, he was looking at her with burning eyes.
It's strange, why did the young master ask her like this? It was obviously him who ordered her to come here, wasn't it?
Haitang muttered secretly in her heart, but she didn't dare to say a word. She stood up in fear: "I disturbed the young master's enjoyment. I deserve to die!"
This kind of demeanor is even more different from Shen Qiuyu. Shen Qiuyu has always been gentle, elegant, calm and calm, and never shows fear or anxiety at any time.
The prince thought to himself, but his eyes still fell on Haitang's face.
This Haitang is obviously not from a very good background, and her appearance is not as refined as that of Shen Qiuyu when she was young. But that humble and weak demeanor has a unique charm that attracts people. What's more, she is in her prime of youth. Girls are always extraordinarily fresh and cute...
Gu Xinian really knew the prince very well. Even if he doted on Shen Qiuyu, he would never stop having other women around him. To put it nicely, he was affectionate, and to put it bluntly, he was sentimental. If he wanted to use a beauty trick on the prince, he would basically It’s not difficult at all. Besides, Haitang somewhat resembles Shen Qiuyu when she was young, so it’s strange that the prince couldn’t be moved after seeing her.
Everything is as expected!
Gu Xinian said deliberately and impatiently: "Okay, hurry up and take Qin back. Don't stay here anymore."
Haitang agreed humbly, and before leaving, she gave Gu Xinian a resentful look. That look did not take away Gu Xinian's soul, but it made the prince lose his mind.
After Haitang walked away, the prince reluctantly withdrew his gaze and met Gu Xinian's knowing eyes.
No matter how thick-skinned the prince was, he still felt a little uncomfortable. He concealed his smile and said, "This one named Haitang looks a bit like Yu'er. That's why I took a few more glances."
The prince asked with concern: "What's wrong? Why does such a pretty little beauty make you upset?"
"Lan'er and I have been married for less than a year, and we have always been very affectionate. I don't hide it from my cousin. I don't plan to have another woman in the future. I am content to have Lan'er by my side in this life." Gu Xi
She didn't even blink when she was feeling numb at the New Year: "But grandma just gave me such a maid, saying that she would marry me. Because of this, Lan'er has been angry with me since the 30th of the New Year, and she has been angry with me for the past few days.
Ignore me. I want to send this Begonia away, but I am afraid that grandma will be unhappy. I am in a dilemma and feel a headache!"
As he said that, he deliberately glanced at the prince: "If someone is willing to take this hot potato away, it will solve a big problem for me."
The implication was so obvious that the prince's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Everyone loves beauties, and the prince is the best among them. When it comes to cherishing beauty and caring for jade, probably no one can do it better. What's more, Gu Xinian made it very clear that he doesn't want this beauty at all and would like to send her away immediately. So.
Speaking of which, if he accepted this Begonia, Gu Xinian would not be angry, but would be grateful to him. No matter how you think about it, this is a good thing that has the best of both worlds...
When Gu Xinian saw the prince's reaction, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he continued: "Cousin, we two are not outsiders. Let me just say it bluntly! I feel a headache just looking at this Begonia. Today.
I gave it to you so you can take her with you when you leave."
The prince secretly rejoiced in his heart, but he pretended to refuse: "This is not good! This is the maid given to you by your grandmother. How can I take away your love?"
As soon as these words came out, the prince felt guilty again. He had snatched Shen Qiuyu back then, and that was the real way to win people's love. Now that he says such shameless words, he can't help but blush...
However, Gu Xinian seemed not to notice anything and said sincerely: "Cousin, you don't want to see a fire in my backyard! Just think of it as helping me. I will remember this kindness and I will definitely repay you in the future."
Having said this, it would be too pretentious not to nod. The prince immediately smiled and said: "In that case, then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."
Gu Xinian thanked him solemnly and asked deliberately: "By the way, do you want to talk to Concubine Shen about this first? If she is unhappy and causes a quarrel between you two, it's my fault."
Already..."
The prince smiled and said: "Don't worry, Yu'er is not the kind of woman who cares about everything." After saying this, he felt that he had made a mistake, and immediately added: "Actually, my younger siblings are not like that either. But in the end, she
You are younger and have just married, so I am not happy to see you with another woman."
Gu Xi had achieved his annual goal and was in a very good mood. He didn't mind the prince's gaffe at all. He smiled casually and said, "I will order someone to talk to Haitang and ask her to pack her clothes and luggage."
The prince pretended to be indifferent and responded, but his eyes flashed with joy.
Gu Xinian twitched the corners of his lips silently.
As evening approached, the prince returned to Shunyitang in a good mood and said goodbye to Mrs. Sun.
Mrs. Sun reluctantly warned: "When you are free in the future, you must come and see grandma more often."
The prince responded with a smile, then coughed suddenly and said, "By the way, my grandson has something else to tell you."

Thinking about Shen Qiuyu's next reaction, isn't it particularly satisfying? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
