The prince stepped on the stones and crossed the stream. The East Palace guards behind him also brought a lot of prey, cleared an open space on the opposite side of the stream, and followed Gu Zhao's example and started preparing barbecue.

Gu Zhao stood up to greet him, somewhat surprised as he spoke, "Your Highness, why are you here too?"

The prince jumped over the water lightly and landed in front of Gu Zhao, the girl's serious but delicate face reflected in his deep eyes.

"Why, are you just allowed to ignore the outcome, Mr. Gu, and not be able to be alone for even a moment?"

Gu Zhao bent his eyes and smiled, "Why not? It's nice to be free, and you can be our companion."

Prince Qingjun's face was filled with warmth, and there was a hint of tenderness hidden in his eyes as he looked at Gu Zhao.

He was just about to take another step closer to Gu Zhao, when suddenly a figure flashed in front of him, and a small crane walked over and separated him from Gu Zhao.

The prince didn't take it to heart.

The little cranes in the Control He Division come from all kinds of backgrounds, and many of them are rough and tumble men who don't understand the rules of the court at all.

They are all wearing black wide-brimmed hats with a red tassel hanging on the top of their hats. They are walking like the wind. They are completely different from the guards of the East Palace. There is no reason to care about these warriors who are working hard to gain a future.

On the contrary, the prince took a step back gracefully and waited for the little crane to walk over before continuing to walk with Gu Zhao.

The summer sun was very hot. The guards of the East Palace first cleared a clean and flat ground under the shade of the trees, opened the apricot-colored umbrellas specially designed for the prince, and placed carpets, tables, and futons under the umbrellas. They invited the prince and Gu Zhao to come.

rest.

Gu Pandi hurriedly followed Gu Zhao, quietly followed Gu Zhao's example, and sat down cross-legged.

The prince looked at the busy scene in front of him and said with a smile, "Master Gu, why don't you have a chat with Lone Hand?"

Gu Zhao said jokingly, "While killing animals and grilling meat, making fishy fireworks, talking with black and white hands, and tasting tea, it's quite interesting."

The prince put his hands on his hands and laughed, his brows showing no signs of fading, "That's right, that's right, what I like most about Master Gu is that she is different from those beauties who are cast from the same mold. She is extraordinarily lively and interesting."

Gu Zhao glanced at him coldly, this guy was really a good actor, he spoke as if it were true.

The prince blinked at her and waved to the little eunuch who was waiting on him, "Go and take out the jar of Mingqian tea that I have and let Mr. Gu have a taste."

Gu Pandi rolled her eyes, stood up quietly, lowered her head and walked towards the forest.

Except for Gu Zhao, the whole place was full of grown men. Looking at her posture, they guessed that she might be looking for a place to relieve herself, so they all unanimously remained silent.

Gu Pandi put her hands in her sleeves, sweating nervously, and pinched the small porcelain bottle through the thin cloth.

Not long after, the little eunuch stood up with the tea cup, but when he turned his head, he bumped into someone. The hot tea was spilled and poured on the little eunuch.

The little eunuch's face turned pale with pain, and he was about to get angry, but when he raised his head, he saw that the person he bumped into was the sister next to Master Gu Zhao, and his face turned red again.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Gu Pandi lowered her head and apologized hastily, "Did father-in-law get burned?"

It was already summer, and the clothes were very thin. Such hot water must have caused a lot of scalding. But when the little eunuch thought of Gu Zhao, he didn't dare to argue with Gu Pandi, so he could only say in a low voice, "It's okay."

Looking at the dripping tea and a few tea leaves on the little eunuch, Gu Pandi said sheepishly, "I'm sorry, father-in-law, do you want to change clothes?"

The little eunuch lowered his head and looked, how could he appear in such a miserable state in front of the prince?

He was angry, but he didn't dare to get angry at Gu Pandi. After hesitating, he could only find a place to change clothes.

Before leaving, he also told Gu Pandi, "Don't touch this tea. It's for His Royal Highness. I'll be back soon."

Gu Pandi nodded repeatedly, very meekly.

As soon as the little eunuch's back left her sight, Gu Pandi's expression changed, and she quickly walked to the tea stove and pulled out two teacups.

Without a trace of hesitation, after Gu Pandi looked around to make sure no one was staring at her, she immediately took out the small bottle that was already warm in her hands from her sleeve and poured it into a teacup.

Pour the tea into the cup, Gu Pandi holds the two cups of tea on the tray, slowly moves her feet, and carefully walks under the umbrella.

The prince and Gu Zhao have already played half of their chess game. The chessboard is full of black and white chess pieces. They look very focused and seem to have completely forgotten everything else.

Gu Pandi didn't say anything, and silently placed the two teacups in their hands.

When she retreated outside the carpet, her hands holding the tray were trembling, but her eyes were full of excitement.

She is about to succeed!

Sure enough, with Gu Zhao as a cover, these people were not wary of her at all, and actually allowed her to achieve her goal so easily!

Gu Pandi couldn't control the proud expression on her face, and the scene of the prince marrying her kept reappearing in her mind.

They all asked themselves to drug Gu Zhao and let Gu Zhao have a relationship with the prince, so that he could become the prince's concubine.

She had thought about it many times these days, and finally figured it out, why should she listen to them? Why did everyone think that only Gu Zhao could be the crown prince?

Even if Gu Zhao becomes the crown princess, she won't take care of them. It would be more cost-effective for her to become the crown prince herself.

She wanted them to know that her Gu Pandi was no worse than Gu Zhao!

Therefore, she did not put the medicine into Gu Zhao's tea at all, but gave it to the prince.

When the prince's medicine takes effect later, she will be the only woman in the hunting ground besides Gu Zhao. What other choice does he have?

Gu Pandi stared intently at the two people playing chess, refusing to look away.

Gu Zhao didn't seem to notice the tea cup at hand. When he raised his hand, he accidentally knocked over the tea cup and spilled the tea on the table.

Gu Pandi's heart skipped a beat when she saw this scene. She couldn't help but cast her eyes on the prince. She prayed wildly in her heart, God bless her, Buddha bless her, let the prince drink the tea! Don't be as careless as Gu Zhao.

!

As if a god or Buddha really heard Gu Pandi's prayer, the prince smiled and nodded to Gu Zhao, "Master Gu, you have failed me with your good tea."
