Qing Yi looked panicked and hesitated to speak, planning to close the window.
"Nothing, miss."
Chaoli saw something from Qing Yi's expression. She immediately stood up, walked to Qing Yi, and looked out the window.
I saw that the men and women under the albizia tree were very close to each other. The man seemed to lower his head and the woman looked up.
From a distance, the two looked like they were kissing.
Qing Yi pursed her lips, worried that Chaoli would be very concerned when she saw it. She felt sorry for her young lady at the moment.
Unexpectedly, Chaoli just glanced at it and withdrew his gaze, sitting back at the table again.
"Don't worry, I'm not sad. You also know that I won't be able to stay in the mansion for long. Their feelings have nothing to do with me. I'm just a passerby in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, a temporary resident. I will leave when the time comes." Chaoli spoke calmly.
Hearing this, Qing Yi took a closer look at Chao Li's face and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she really didn't seem to care.
While he breathed a sigh of relief, he was inevitably a little disappointed.
It seemed that the young lady really didn't have much affection for the prince anymore, and she didn't even care about his intimacy with Shen Lianyi, nor did she appreciate it.
But in fact, the two of them look perfect together, they are a perfect couple.
"Qingyi understands, then I'll go bring some pastries to the lady right away. The fish should be ready by now."
Chaoli nodded, "Yeah."
Qing Yi walked out and Chao Li was the only one left in the room.
At this moment, Chaoli was concentrating on looking at the embroidery pattern in his hand, looking for the appropriate thread. He obviously held it like this, but something was wrong when he got it in his hand, and in the end he couldn't see it.
After a while, Chaoli put down his needle and thread, his thoughts drifting away.
It is undeniable that in addition to her love for Gu Hanzhang in her previous life that made it difficult for her to let go, some of Gu Hanzhang's actions in these days still moved Chaoli, and even made her heart resonate with them, as if they were in love.
But at this moment, Chaoli was suddenly poured a basin of cold water on her, which also extinguished the spark that almost rekindled in her heart.
In fact, she had never existed in Gu Hanzhang's heart.
Although I didn't know what happened between the two just now, even if it wasn't a kiss, I could tell that it was his unique tenderness and considerateness.
Chaoli, Chaoli, are you going to make the same mistake again?
There is no chance of misunderstanding. He only has Shen Lianyi in his heart. How can you forget the pain of the past three years?
Gu Hanzhang's heart is cold. All his warmth is only given to Shen Lianyi. You are not her and you are not worthy of Gu Hanzhang's gentle treatment.
As for Gu Hanzhang's instructions and compromise with Song Lingxin today, I think it was just because he was about to leave the capital and didn't want her to get into trouble with Princess Desshao and Gu Xiyue.
Chaoli's eyes were filled with confusion, and images from his past life appeared in his mind.
"Hanzhang, it's my mother's birthday today, and you promised to accompany me back home. The albizia flowers in the yard are blooming. How about we pick some and give them to my mother?"
Chaoli walked towards Gu Hanzhang with a smile, her little face full of happiness, just because Gu Hanzhang agreed to go back to his hometown with her two days ago to be with Fang Huimin.
Gu Hanzhang paused, "If you have something to do today, you should go back first."
Hearing this, Chaoli couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes. In order not to cause trouble to Gu Hanzhang, she agreed and returned home alone.
When she returned from the court, she saw Gu Hanzhang and Shen Lianyi standing under the blooming albizia tree. They stood side by side, like a golden boy and a beautiful girl, and like a beautiful picture.
A petal fell on Gu Hanzhang's shoulder, and Shen Lianyi reached out to gently brush it away for him. Their eyes met, as if they were expressing endless lingering, and Shen Lianyi stopped moving.
Chaoli was so heartbroken that it was hard to describe, "Hanzhang, you said you had something to do and you couldn't accompany me back home to celebrate my mother's birthday. Is it because of Miss Shen's visit?"
Perhaps because she wanted to get a clear answer, Chaoli stepped forward and asked the question. Tears filled her eyes and her heart ached unbearably.
Shen Lianyi seemed to have just reacted, looking gentle and virtuous.
"It's Lianyi. I don't know that today is the birthday of the prince's mother-in-law. It's really rude." As she spoke, she turned to look at Gu Hanzhang and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, why didn't you say that you had something to do today? If I had known that you would have something to do, I would have You should come back another day.”
"Sure enough, you didn't go back home with me because of Miss Shen. She is so important." Chaoli murmured.
After saying that, she turned around and left, tears streaming down her face at that moment.
Shen Lianyi's voice continued to sound behind him, "Your Majesty, it's better to go see the Crown Princess, she is feeling uncomfortable."
I thought Gu Hanzhang would agree, but he only had two words.
"continue."
The cold voice sounded, just like him.
Chaoli could no longer hear the next words. At that time, the pain in her heart spread to her whole body.
Her thoughts gradually returned, and Chaoli's eyes became more determined. She must never be stupid again in this life. Nothing in the past month could change her determination!
When Chaoli looked at the two people outside the window again, her heart had no fluctuations, she was calm and indifferent.
No matter how passionate you are, it has nothing to do with me.
When they were young, Qing Yi and Pei Yu walked in carrying some snacks and pastries.
After her mood changed, Chaoli ignored the people outside the window. She was aroused by the food in front of her.
"Pei Yu, I didn't expect that your craftsmanship is so good. You can still make these things after leaving home at a young age." Chaoli praised without hesitation.
Pei Yu smiled softly and said, "Master, I'm so impressed. In fact, I only learned this a few years ago. At that time, I happened to go to my hometown to do some errands."
As for what was done, Pei Yu didn't say anything, and Chaoli wouldn't ask. It must have been something Gu Hanzhang ordered, and nothing else.
"It's a craft after all. I'll go see my mother again in two days. Then you can make some non-spicy food for me and I'll bring it to her. In two days, she should feel much better and she will be willing to eat some. Snacks." Chaoli said with a smile.
Naturally, Pei Yu would not refuse, "Yes, Master."
"You should call me miss like Qing Yi. There is no need to call yourself a subordinate or slave. We are all a family." Chaoli pinched a piece of pastry and said.
"Yes, miss." Pei Yu replied calmly.
The three masters and servants in the house were very happy, and the two people under the acacia tree in the yard were also talking.
Shen Lianyi stopped talking, "That's what my father meant. I don't know what the prince wants, but do you agree to this?"
"Lord Shen, I accepted it with my kindness. Please forgive me for not agreeing." Gu Hanzhang directly refused.
Hearing this, Shen Lianyi's face turned a little ugly.
But after all, in front of Gu Hanzhang, she would still restrain herself and would not lose her temper directly with him.
"Is the prince worried about the prince concubine? Lianyi thought that the prince concubine knew the book and was polite, would take care of the overall situation for the prince, and would not care about this matter. After all, this can be said to be a benefit to the prince."
Having said this, Shen Lianyi blushed and felt a little shy.
