Gu Hanzhang pretended not to understand Linglong's deliberately joking words, but walked towards Linglong step by step.
Inside the house, Linglong was wearing a red dress and had heavy makeup of the same color on her face.
Ignoring whether Gu Hanzhang came in, Linglong was lying lazily on the soft couch, her gestures full of coquettishness.
There was no bed in the house, only a soft couch and a chess board. It was obvious that this was not an exquisite bedroom, but a room for playing chess. Gu Hanzhang also understood.
Gu Hanzhang held the brocade box in one hand, walked to the table, and put it down. There was a sense of strategizing in his movements.
"Miss Linglong, what are your plans for giving such a generous gift to my princess?" Gu Hanzhang asked coldly.
Although he said he was asking, he actually had something in mind.
Linglong smiled softly, propped herself up and sat up slowly, letting the gauze on her shoulders slip slightly, but Gu Hanzhang's expression remained unchanged.
"Your Majesty, don't be like this. I don't think the Nu family has any other intentions. I just think that the Crown Princess is a very good person. I bumped into the Crown Princess's carriage a few days ago, and then we went to the lake together. Some time ago, the Crown Prince
The concubine also embroidered a sachet for me, so I was so moved that I gave the set of chess pieces to the Crown Princess. Even if the Crown Princess does not like to play chess, she can still use them when she has nothing to do.
"Linglong smiled charmingly.
Gu Hanzhang's heart did not waver at all, and he completely ignored Linglong's secret glances at him on the soft couch.
"Whatever my princess needs, I will help her find it. Miss Linglong's gift is too expensive, and she deserves it." Gu Hanzhang said coolly.
Linglong raised her eyebrows, "I didn't expect the prince to be so good at talking now. In the past, he would not speak for a long time. He could play chess with me without saying a word during the whole process. Now that the prince has got married, his temperament has changed a lot. It is different from the past. There are more
Quite popular.”
"There will always be changes when getting married. The Crown Princess asked me to return the chess pieces to Miss Linglong. I think this set of chess pieces will meet a more suitable owner in the future." Gu Hanzhang opened the brocade box placed on the table.
After all, it is such a valuable thing, why should I open it and take a look when returning it to someone else?
It wasn't that these chess pieces were too valuable that Gu Hanzhang couldn't afford them, but that things like black jade were priceless and too rare.
Linglong chuckled, suddenly stood up from the soft couch, and walked towards Gu Hanzhang.
When he reached Gu Hanzhang, he suddenly stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Gu Hanzhang's shoulder.
"Your Majesty, don't be so heartless, we still have some friendship."
Gu Hanzhang calmly brushed Linglong's hand away, "Stop pretending."
As soon as these words came out, Linglong's smiling face immediately stopped smiling and became a little cold, something she had never shown in front of outsiders.
"Your Majesty, what do you think I'm pretending to be?" Linglong asked quietly.
Gu Hanzhang glanced at Linglong coldly and said, "Stay away from my imperial concubine, otherwise I don't mind letting you become a real 'Linglong girl'. My Daqi territory can accommodate other small countries, but I don't allow you to have
wild ambition."
Linglong's face looked a little ugly. She didn't expect Gu Hanzhang to know everything. She thought he was ignorant.
"When did you know about it?" Linglong asked.
"Since you entered the capital, I knew that you were not from Daqi, but you had no ill intentions towards Daqi, so I ignored it," Gu Hanzhang replied.
Hearing this, Linglong was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed again.
"It turns out that this is the case. People in the capital say that Chao Li is chasing after you, and you don't have any pity for her. Now I feel that you don't have no feelings for her in your heart. You should still like her, otherwise you wouldn't
Because of her, she came to warn me and revealed my identity. She even threatened me to become a real Linglong girl. I said, Prince, are you jealous?" Linglong said with a smile.
Gu Hanzhang did not deny that he had some understanding of what kind of person Linglong was.
The reason why he was a little unhappy with him was simply because he blocked Linglong's plan, but he would not compromise.
This time Linglong targeted Chaoli, and Gu Hanzhang couldn't sit still.
That's why he came to warn Linglong.
"Have you finished talking?" Gu Hanzhang said coldly.
Linglong still had a smile on her face, "I don't want to have a good relationship with the Crown Princess, so that I can cooperate with the Crown Prince in the future. Maybe the Crown Prince will be of use to me one day. Now that the Crown Prince has said everything frankly, doesn't it mean that I don't even have the opportunity to cooperate?
Even if you don't give it to me, the prince is really cruel, and the slave family will be heartbroken to death."
Gu Hanzhang looked at Linglong faintly, "Why, after pretending to be a woman for so long, do you really think of yourself as a woman?"
Yes, Linglong was originally a man.
Earlier, Chaoli felt weird when he saw Linglong and found that he was very tall. In fact, it was because he was a man.
The collars of exquisite clothes are relatively high, also to cover the Adam's apple.
In the entire Daqi, there were only a few people who knew that Linglong was a man, and Gu Hanzhang was one of them.
Linglong also knew very well that contact with Gu Hanzhang would inevitably lead to his identity being discovered, but Gu Hanzhang did not reveal it at the time and was always willing to cooperate with him.
Perhaps Gu Hanzhang was wiser than he thought.
"You can't say that, isn't it because of my identity that I can only be a woman?" Linglong said with a smile.
Seeing that Linglong was still out of shape, Gu Hanzhang didn't want to say anything more.
"The things are returned to you. Take your leave."
After saying that, Gu Hanzhang was ready to leave. He didn't want to have too much to do with Linglong.
Just after taking a step, Gu Hanzhang stopped again and turned to look at Linglong.
The smile on Linglong's face became even wider, "What's wrong with the prince? Are you reluctant to leave the slave family? Oh, you should have told me earlier. Whether you want to play chess with Li Yi or play something else, the slave family will agree."
"Give me the stuff." Gu Hanzhang stretched out his hand and said coldly.
"Oh, I don't know what the prince is talking about, what is it? The slave family remembers that the prince seems not to have left anything here, otherwise the slave family would have dug three feet in the ground to find it for the prince." Linglong said deliberately.
In the past, Gu Hanzhang had the upper hand, but today I can see a different Gu Hanzhang, all thanks to Chao Li.
Who would have thought that Chaoli, who was widely rumored in the capital to only have Gu Hanzhang in his mind, turned out to be not the case. On the contrary, Gu Hanzhang, who had no feelings for others, was thinking about him heartily.
Even if the other person comes into contact with other men, he will be jealous.
Of course Linglong knew what Gu Hanzhang was talking about just now. It was nothing more than the things Chaoli sent as a thank you gift before. He also stored them well and did not throw them away.
Gu Hanzhang lost his patience and his eyes became more and more cold.
