With the addition of Qin Youjin, the atmosphere among the group felt a bit strange.

Qin Youjin's enthusiasm continued and he kept chatting up Gu Zhao, but Gu Zhao remained cold and indifferent. He only gave him some simple answers when he had to speak.

Although Kang Jian had a smile on his face, he only spoke to Gu Zhao occasionally.

Only Gu Pandi followed at the end, with tears in her eyes. No one paid any attention to her, leaving her to feel sorry for herself.

Even her maid Suan Miao did not dare to say anything for fear of offending this sensitive young lady.

"Master Gu, please come inside." After finally arriving at the prince's residence, Kang Jian bowed to Gu Zhao and led her inside.

Then he bowed perfunctorily to Qin Youjin and said, "Prince Xinyang, please come in."

Qin Youjin didn't feel dissatisfied. During the decades he had been in the palace, it was a good thing to be treated coldly. Being bullied was normal.

That is to say, when he first came back, he had not yet gotten rid of his identity as the prince, so he couldn't control himself and said those things that he shouldn't have said.

This period of silence made him sober up a lot, and he had to accept the reality.

In any case, the current situation is much better than he was at the beginning. He knows a lot of things that others don't know, and he may not have the possibility of becoming the final winner.

He had sat in that high position before, and it would still be his now.

Gu Zhao, he will never give up!

Qin Youjin followed Gu Zhao with a smile, "I and others arranged the flowers and trees in His Royal Highness's yard. You see, this row of sycamore trees were all moved from the back mountain of Bieyuan. They all held rulers.

Measure the size and select each plant..."

Gu Zhao nodded perfunctorily, but he felt wary in his heart.

Qin Youjin looked like this, making her feel like a snake hiding in the shadows, swooping out to bite people when they weren't paying attention.

Qin Youjin's expression darkened, but he quickly cheered up and followed Gu Zhao inside.

"Your Highness, Mr. Gu is here, and Prince Xinyang is also here." Kang Jian went inside to report. Prince Qin Youzhen, who was playing with an inkstone in front of the window, turned around and smiled towards the door.

Gu Zhao actually didn't want to see the prince again. She was very unhappy with the prince's domineering behavior that time.

But she knew that avoiding the problem would not solve it.

This time, the Gu family was brought over by Lin Weikang to control her, which made Gu Zhao think of cooperating with the prince to fundamentally solve the problem——

As long as Lin Weikang and Duke Li's palace fell, there would be no need for the prince to marry her.

Today, the prince is wearing a jade crown and a flowing green shirt. He looks more like a scholar.

And Gu Pandi's spirits lifted, she finally saw the prince!

These days, she didn't know how many times she imagined the prince's appearance, handsome, wealthy, and affectionate. Every time, she got stuck in it and couldn't extricate herself.

But when she actually met the prince, Gu Pandi realized that her imagination was too poor.

The prince was more attractive than she imagined.

He just stood there in the hall full of beauty, but it was more dazzling than the luxurious furnishings behind him.

Especially those long and narrow red phoenix eyes, with an affectionate smile, when they glanced at Gu Pandi, she felt that her whole body felt hot and weak, and she almost lost her footing.

The prince came towards her!

Gu Pandi felt her heart beating like a drum. She couldn't help but put her hands on her chest and looked at this young and noble man with longing eyes.

However, the prince didn't see her at all. He only had Gu Zhao in his eyes.

"Azhao, why are you here?" The prince's voice was gentle and clear, as if coming from the clouds.

Gu Pandi walked forward involuntarily and stood side by side with Gu Zhao. She didn't even feel Suan Miao tugging on her sleeve.

The prince's eyes were slightly surprised, and he glanced at Gu Pandi, who was standing next to Gu Zhao like an ugly duckling, "Ah Zhao, who is this?"

Gu Zhao still had the same respectful and polite expression, "A younger sister, Gu Pandi, just came from Jiangnan. I will bring her here to open her eyes."

The prince suddenly understood, glanced at Gu Pandi again, and said with a smile, "This sister... looks a bit familiar, as if she has seen her somewhere before."

Gu Pandi's head buzzed, her whole body was enveloped in endless surprise, and her eyes were almost dripping with water, as she stared at the prince.

Gu Zhao glanced at Gu Pandi, and then looked at the prince with a half-smile. She just asked the prince to give Gu Pandi a little hope, but she did not ask the prince to perform at such a high level.

She is not responsible for the consequences caused by this.

Seeing the dark-skinned Gu Pandi, her whole body seemed to be on fire, her head and face were all red, and the prince himself was a little shocked.

This reaction is too much. Isn't it just a joke? Is it like this?

And he wasn't completely lying. He really felt that the sister Gu Zhao looked familiar in some way, like someone he knew, but he just couldn't remember it for the moment.

Being stared at by Gu Pandi's eyes that were on fire, the prince felt uncomfortable all over his body. This girl was too unreserved, as if she wanted to eat him in front of so many people.

He has seen many women who have thoughts about him, but he has never seen such an eager and terrifying one.

The prince turned his head away, trying his best to hide the disgust in his heart, greeted Gu Zhao and Qin Youjin, and invited them to take a seat.

"Tenth brother is here too. Is there something wrong?"

Qin Youjin smiled and saluted, "I have always been under the care of Fifth Brother. I happened to hear that Fifth Brother was going to entertain guests in Bieyuan, so I came to see if there is anything I can do. If there is anything, Fifth Brother, please feel free to give me your instructions."

"

Gu Zhao was shocked to find that Qin Youjin had really changed a lot now. He dared to talk in front of the prince and was obviously much more confident.

Although Gu Zhao also arranged for people to keep an eye on the Prince of Xinyang County, Qin Youjin rarely went out and never caused any trouble. So how did he undergo such a big change?

The prince, on the other hand, seemed to have completely forgotten that Qin Youjin had made such wild claims in Yuxian Tower, claiming that he was the prince and the new king of Bei'an. He was still kind to him, and he looked like a good brother who loved and cared for his younger brother.

But Gu Zhao knew that these were just appearances.
