Leng Shuang's hands squeezed the clothes on her chest tightly, and tears burst into her eyes.
The man's unparalleled handsome face appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help crying.
"I am the prince's fiancée, why doesn't he even want to see me?"
"Princess, the prince may be delayed by something important, or he may be busy with other things. He will come to see you when he is done. Don't think too much about it."
Leng Shuang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her eyes became firmer.
"I'll wait for him."
She believes that he will definitely come!
"In addition, Princess, the prince has asked me to give you this letter," the guard took out a letter and handed it to Leng Shuang, "Princess, please don't lose it, otherwise, the prince will blame me."
"Okay," Leng Shuang calmed down her sadness, "You can go."
"Thank you, Princess, for your thoughtfulness."
The guard raised his fists before turning and leaving.
Prince's Mansion.
The man stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, his eyes deep and gloomy.
His eyes were always fixed on the peach blossom tree in the back garden, and the pink peach petals were reflected in his eyes, with a confused look.
He remembered that every time the peach blossoms bloomed in this season, the girl would be waiting for him under the tree.
Until the fallen flowers are colorful and fragrant.
pity……
In this life, he was not by her side.
"Your Majesty," the butler walked in cautiously from the door and reported respectfully, "The princess has agreed to leave the Gu Mansion."
Gu Tingyu was startled. He turned back to look at the housekeeper and frowned slightly: "Are you sure?"
"I dare to put my head on my neck as a guarantee," the steward said solemnly, "My lord, I advise you that it is best to send the princess away, so as not to cause trouble if the prince sees you, or even...
The queen knows that the princess is back and will definitely deal with her!"
Gu Tingyu was silent for a moment. He raised his head and looked at the scenery outside the window.
"I know this, and I have kept this matter from my mother for now. If she finds out, I'm afraid she will cause trouble again."
Over the years, the queen mother has become tired of her, and she does not want her mother to continue to work for her.
Because she...is really tired.
"My lord, if you are reluctant to let go of the princess, I will find a way to make the princess stay."
Gu Tingyu lowered his eyes, his indifferent voice filled with coldness.
"No need,"
His thin lips raised a sneer: "I have never liked her, so how can I be reluctant to let her go? Please step aside, there is no need to tell me anything about Shuang'er again."
The housekeeper sighed, he also knew that the prince had been trying to hold on these days, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he came to tell the prince.
Since the prince refused to see the princess, he... could only respect the prince's choice.
After all, he was raised by the prince, and everything he did was for the prince's consideration.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The butler stepped back slowly.
Gu Tingyu quietly stared at the peach blossoms on the peach blossom tree, his eyes warm, as if he could see the cute and cute girl through them.
"Shuang'er, have you ever hated me?" He murmured to himself, his tone slightly disappointed, "Hate me for abandoning you, hate me for abandoning you for power..."
"But, I also have a last resort. If I don't fight or grab, my fate will be worse than anyone else's! Do you understand?"
"Shuang'er, you know, our Gu family is different from others. My father died young, leaving only my mother and queen. I must live for my mother and the entire Gu family."
He is the hope of the Gu family. Only when he is strong can he protect the Gu family.
For this reason, regardless of whether Shuang'er is willing to marry him or not, he has to marry her!
"Shuang'er, you shouldn't have come back. Your existence will only bring trouble to the Gu family. I just ask you not to cause trouble to the Gu family. Just pretend... there has never been fate between you and me."
His eyes gradually returned to calmness, he turned around calmly and walked towards the study.
The spring breeze in March is gentle, blowing people's cheeks warmly.
A carriage drove into Gu's mansion and stopped slowly.
The maid opened the sedan curtain and helped a girl in a goose-yellow dress get out of the carriage.
"Second girl, the master is in the study, you go find him first."
"Um."
Gu Zhirou nodded gently and walked towards the study.
As soon as I opened the door to the study room, a strong smell of medicine hit my nostrils.
Gu Zhirou was stunned for a moment: "The prince is sick?"
Gu Tingyu shook his head: "It's okay. I didn't get enough sleep last night. What do you want from me?"
"Your Majesty, I heard... cousin Shuang'er is coming back today?" Gu Zhirou bit her lip and asked timidly, "I'm worried that cousin Shuang'er will be wronged in the palace, so I specially prepared a gift for Shuang'er.
cousin."
Gu Tingyu frowned: "Shuang'er has a stubborn personality. No one can change the things she decides, so you don't have to worry about it."
Gu Zhirou smiled bitterly and said: "Cousin Shuang'er has a stubborn temper. I'm afraid she will annoy the prince. After all, the palace has many rules. If cousin Shuang'er breaks the rules, it will be bad."
Gu Tingyu's stern face remained calm, and he said calmly: "If you want to visit her, I can send someone to take you there. I don't have time to entertain guests."
Gu Zhirou was stunned for a moment, she did not expect that the prince would refuse so thoroughly.
"Your Majesty," Gu Zhirou pursed her lips, "I just want to help cousin Shuang'er..."
"No need!" Gu Tingyu shouted coldly and scolded, "No one in my palace dares to bully her. If anyone dares to do anything bad to her, I will definitely kill him!"
His voice was filled with coldness, which made Gu Zhirou tremble all over. She hurriedly knelt on the ground, shivering.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gu Tingyu's expression softened slightly: "If you have nothing to do, please leave. I still have official business to deal with."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gu Zhirou lowered her head, her fingers clenching her sleeves tightly, her face slightly pale.
She didn't understand why the prince still doted on Leng Shuang before, but in the past few years, he hated her more and more!
In what way is she inferior to that ***?
Why can she have such a happy life, but she can only live in jealousy and hatred?
She is not willing to give in!
Gu Zhirou gritted her teeth until she tasted the smell of blood in her mouth, then she barely suppressed the anger in her heart, stood up, turned and left.
After Gu Zhirou left, Gu Tingyu's hand caressed the table, his eyes far away, as if he was looking at someone far away through these lush peach blossoms.
"Shuang'er..." He whispered softly, "Are you okay?"
It's not that he doesn't want to see her, but... he doesn't dare!
When he cruelly drove her away, it was destined that he would never have a relationship with her in this life!
He was also afraid, afraid that when he saw her again, he would hold her in his arms and rub her into his arms, unwilling to let go.
The three-day period is coming soon, Leng Shuang is sitting in the yard basking in the sun, bored.
"Oh my, what's wrong with me that I'm wandering around here?" Leng Shuang laughed at herself, "No, I have to go back quickly so that my father and mother won't be anxious."
"Shuang'er!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.
Leng Shuang raised her eyes and saw Gu Zhirou running towards her quickly.
"Zhirou, why are you here?" Leng Shuang asked in surprise.
"The prince asked me to give you a generous gift, so I came."
"A generous gift?" Leng Shuang blinked, and a thought flashed through her mind, "Could it be that the prince wants to give me a betrothal gift?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Zhirou took out an exquisite box from her sleeve and handed it to her.
"What's this?"
"Open it and take a look."
Leng Shuang hesitantly stretched out his hand and opened the box.
There is a dazzling jadeite in the box, which shines dazzlingly under the sunlight.
Leng Shuang raised her eyebrows, looked at Gu Zhirou, and a trace of teasing appeared on her lips: "I don't believe that the prince would be so kind."
"Cousin Shuang'er, don't underestimate this jade. I personally selected this jade for a long time." Gu Zhirou said with a smile, "You must cherish it. This is a rare treasure in the world. I
But I bought it after a lot of effort."
"Oh?" Leng Shuang smiled, "There really is something you like in this world."
"Cousin Shuang'er, I know you like jade, so I specially chose a jadeite to give you." Gu Zhirou said with a smile, "This is my most beloved thing."
Leng Shuang looked at the dazzling jade in her hand, and felt a strange feeling in her heart.
"Zhirou, this gift is too valuable." Leng Shuang shook her head, "I can't afford it, you might as well take it back."
"Cousin Shuang'er, this is my intention, just accept it." Gu Zhirou coquettishly pulled Leng Shuang's arm, "And this thing belongs to you, I just borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha."
Leng Shuang had no choice but to put the jade in her arms, but there was a vague feeling in her heart.
"By the way, cousin Shuang'er, I also brought a gift." Gu Zhirou took out a piece of red satin from her lapel.
The silk satin is embroidered with a delicate peony, which is so lifelike that people can't take their eyes away.
"This is the betrothal gift given to you by the prince, please accept it quickly."
"A betrothal gift?" Leng Shuang was stunned, "Why would the prince give me a betrothal gift?"
Gu Zhirou smiled and said, "What the prince means is that he likes you and wants to marry you."
"What?!" Leng Shuang's eyes widened and she shook her head in disbelief, "Why did the prince suddenly propose to marry me?"
Gu Zhirou curled her lips and said in a sour tone: "Who knows? Maybe it's because Sister Leng is my cousin, or maybe it's because Sister Leng, you are so beautiful that the prince is fascinated by you."
"Bah!" Leng Shuang snorted softly, "I didn't know, it turns out that the prince also likes to say such sweet words to coax girls."
"Oh, it's a fact anyway!"
Leng Shuang was too lazy to pay attention to her and just played with the jade in his hand.
Although this piece of jade is not a rare item, it is the best ice type red jade and is extremely valuable.
She didn't think that Gu Tingyu wanted to marry her, but simply wanted to please herself and the Prime Minister's Palace.
