Zhou Xing walked slowly to Gu Xiyan, and what he saw was her heavily made-up face. Because half of her face was slightly swollen and her cheeks were misaligned, the girl's entire face looked a little weird.
"How did you become so ugly?"
He looked Gu Xiyan up and down. Although she had a dull and unpleasant temper half a month ago, she at least had a good-looking face, but the face in front of him looked too scary.
"The daughter of the common people has an ugly appearance. She is afraid that she might bump into His Highness, so the daughter of the common people must leave." Gu Xiyan leaned back, bowed her head and walked away.
Zhou Xing looked at Gu Xiyan's back walking further and further away, feeling a little dazed.
In the past, she always called him A Xing affectionately. Although she had a gentle temperament, she had never been so alienated from him.
It seems that as she said, she returned the original gift from him, and they became strangers.
He used to think that even if he married Liu Chaoyan, he could continue to take care of Gu Xiyan, but Gu Xiyan would no longer treat him as the closest person like before...
Gu Xiyan hurried away this time, making sure that Zhou Xing could no longer see her, and her tight strings finally relaxed.
Just now, Zhou Xing thought she was ugly. Does this mean that she will not be kidnapped by Zhou Xing again like in her previous life?
She was just thinking about her own thoughts and walked to the back garden unknowingly.
This place is remote and she is alone. It would be bad if she meets her foreign man.
She was about to walk away, but in front of her there was a man in azure robes walking slowly under the warm skylight.
The man has a long body, tall and long legs. Under his superior brows are a pair of clear pupils, as dark as paint, as if they carry the starry sky and the sea, deep and distant.
His nose is like a gallbladder, and his thin lips are pink, sexy and charming, as if he is tempting to pick and taste.
Seeing this person approaching her step by step, Gu Xiyan's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.
In her previous life, he was a person who was very close to her, but could never really touch him.
She lowered her eyelids and looked at the man passing her. What caught her eye was his well-jointed fingers, which were long and white, as jade-like as bamboo.
These handsome hands of a man will be able to influence the national destiny of the Jin Dynasty, and everything will turn upside down in his hands.
Her eyes finally fixed on the sapphire worn by Zhou Mu, and she was in a trance for a moment, forgetting where she was.
Zhou Mu was about to pass by Gu Xiyan when he smelled a very light sandalwood scent.
Zhou Mu saw that the earlobes of the girl in front of him were turning pink, and her clear eyes seemed to have a pool of water, adding a little charm.
At first glance, it looks like a girl wearing heavy makeup, which looks a bit tacky, but upon closer inspection, her appearance and bearing are not vulgar.
"What kind of incense did the girl use?" Zhou Mu slowed down and opened his thin lips.
Gu Xiyan didn't expect Zhou Mu to talk to her, so she was nervous and replied calmly: "Go back to the palace——"
The moment she opened her mouth, she realized it in time.
When she met Zhou Mu for the first time, how could she know that Zhou Mu was the prince? Zhou Mu is twenty this year and has not yet been crowned king.
Today is the eleventh year of Chengde, and the world does not know that the eldest son of Emperor Chengde is still alive.
Moreover, this is the back garden of Wanqinghou Mansion. A foreign man appeared here in Zhou Mu. She shouldn't be so calm.
She took two steps back, lowered her eyes and replied: "My daughter has never used incense, so I think the young master has misunderstood me. I would like to ask, who is the young master's name, and how could he appear in the back garden of the Hou Mansion?" p>
As Gu Xiyan moved further away, the familiar scent of sandalwood became fainter. Zhou Mu was sure that it was impossible for him to smell the fault.
"My surname is Zhou, and I am a guest invited by Marquis Wan Qing. I thought all the female family members were attending the birthday banquet, so I walked around the back garden. I didn't want to meet the girl and cause trouble."
He took another step closer to Gu Xiyan and was about to continue questioning him when he heard a man's voice coming from far away: "Xiyan..."
Zhou Mu recognized Zhou Xing’s voice.
His appearance is similar to Zhou Xing's. On such an occasion today, he doesn't want to meet Zhou Xing.
Gu Xiyan was quietly sizing up Zhou Mu.
Although the change in Zhou Mu's expression was not obvious, she could guess Zhou Mu's thoughts from the subtle changes in his expression.
"Master, please come with me!" She made a prompt decision and grabbed Zhou Mu's wrist through her sleeve.
When Zhou Mu saw this detail, he was dragged away by Gu Xiyan without waiting for him to think about it.
He followed Gu Xiyan through flowers and willows, and soon he saw an elegant small wooden house.
After the two entered the cabin, Gu Xiyan dragged Zhou Mu to a wooden cabinet. She opened the wooden cabinet door and wanted to push the tall man in.
This time she felt the man's resistance.
She looked up and met Zhou Mu's deep, ink-like eyes. His eyes seemed to say, "If you dare to push me in, you will be dead."
Gu Xiyan did not dare to be disrespectful to Zhou Mu anymore and whispered: "I will go out and send His Highness the King of Qin. Young Master, please wait for a moment."
"It's too late." Zhou Mu is a martial arts practitioner and has better hearing than Gu Xiyan.
If Zhou Xing finds out that he and Gu Xiyan are alone, Gu Xiyan's reputation will be completely ruined by him.
He looked at the wooden cabinet...
Gu Xiyan had already walked to the door of the wooden house. She was about to open the door when someone pushed the door in from the outside. It was Zhou Xing.
"What are you doing hiding in the wooden house?!" Zhou Xing looked towards the wooden house.
The room was dimly lit and the space was cramped, with only a wooden cabinet placed there. The wooden cabinet was not big, but high enough, and usually contained some gardening tools.
Gu Xiyan was stunned the moment Zhou Xing opened the door. She didn't even dare to look back, her heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to escape from her mouth.
But seeing that Zhou Xing didn't seem to be acting strange, she turned around hesitantly, but there was no sign of Zhou Mu.
Just at this glance, her heart beat faster again, just because a small corner of Zhou Mu's robe was exposed. Just because the light was dark, you wouldn't have noticed this detail if you didn't look carefully.
She stepped back without leaving a trace and leaned towards the wooden cabinet.
"It's quiet here. I wonder what your Highness has to do with a common girl?"
Seeing Gu Xiyan retreating again and again, Zhou Xing thought she was afraid of him. A rare hint of warmth appeared on his handsome face. He took a few steps closer to Gu Xiyan and said, "Although our marriage is cancelled, there is no need for you to be afraid of me.
Except that I cannot give you the status of princess, there is no other difference."
After meeting Gu Xiyan, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.
The swelling on Gu Xiyan's face looked like she had been slapped, so he chased after her to find out.
"Your Highness, Prince of Qin, men and women are not allowed to be intimate. Please stay away from the women of the country, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Gu Xiyan pretended to be afraid, and took a few steps back, finally completely blocking Zhou Mu's exposure.
That corner of the robe.
But Zhou Xing felt that Gu Xiyan's cheeks were flushed, and the ends of her eyes were slightly raised, as if they were hooked, as if she was deliberately bewitching him. Ignoring her heavy makeup, her appearance was still outstanding.
Gu Xiyan has been in love with him for so many years, so it is normal for her not to forget her feelings for him for a while.
