"This is not what I mean..." Gao Hanqi met Du Lanxue's eyes, lowered his head helplessly and said, "It's getting late today, Princess, please rest early."
"I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Gao Hanqi turned his eyes away and said this to Du Lanxue before getting up and heading towards the study.
Gao Hanqi's evasive and blunt attitude made Du Lanxue's heart feel cold.
She repeatedly thought about whether she was overthinking it. Maybe the two of them had no intention of rekindling their old relationship, or maybe they just had something to do in private?
But I couldn’t help but think, since I was innocent, what could I not tell her?
Do we need to hide our private meetings like this?
Du Lanxue was so distraught that she didn't know how to deal with herself for a moment. However, Gao Hanqi never returned to her house after leaving. After Du Lanxue inquired the next morning, she learned that Gao Hanqi had spent the night in the study. After being married for so long, this is the first time he has treated her so coldly.
"What's the matter? You've been so restless all morning?" Du Lanxue went to greet Madam Gao. Madam Gao noticed the difference in Du Lanxue and paused for a while before saying with a smile: "But the relationship with the prince
What happened?"
"As a wife, the princess should understand the hard work that the prince has to do outside." Mrs. Gao took a sip of tea and looked at Du Lanxue with meaning and said: "I have heard that the princess had a romantic relationship with the prince yesterday.
A dispute?"
Mrs. Gao's words shocked Du Lanxue. She quickly lowered her head and said, "What mother taught you was that last night was just a squabble, nothing serious."
Mrs. Gao put down the cup in her hand and spoke with dignity about Du Lanxue's faults and the three obediences and four virtues. She also talked about how she and the old prince had been in the past. Her words were all for Gao Hanqi. p>
She didn't ask anything about what Gao Hanqi did that caused the dispute between the two. It seemed that it was her fault that Du Lanxue made Gao Hanqi unhappy.
Du Lanxue lowered her head and listened to Madam Gao's teachings, her hands in her sleeves clenched a little tighter.
When she married into the prince's palace, she was cautious in everything she did. She served her mother-in-law even more diligently than she did her parents at home. She never missed a day in the morning or dusk. Even so, she was still not as good as her precious son in the eyes of Madam Gao. Du Lanxue knelt for half an hour and listened to many admonishments before coming out of the hospital.
Du Lanxue was swaying under the sun outside. The maid beside her quickly supported Du Lanxue and said: "Princess? Your face is so ugly, but you need to ask the doctor to take a look..."
"No need." Du Lanxue held the maid's hand, closed her eyes and whispered: "Yesterday I had an unpleasant quarrel with the prince, and today I have made my mother displeased. If I call the doctor in trouble, I'm afraid my mother...
…”
"I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine if I take a rest." Du Lanxue took a breath and said with a smile, "Where did the prince go today?"
"I don't know..." The maid shook her head. The prince never told these things, how could they dare to ask more.
Du Lanxue was silent for a moment, and without saying anything, she walked towards her courtyard. As she was walking, she suddenly saw the entourage who often followed Gao Hanqi, and the entourage was carrying a box of snacks in his hand.<
/p>
"Princess." The attendant saw Du Lanxue panicking for a moment, and quickly lowered his head to greet her.
"What's wrong, meeting me is like a mouse meeting a cat." Du Lanxue looked at the attendant and smiled, her eyes slowly falling on the snack box in his hand.
