Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

Xiao Ce looked at him for a long time, his originally doubtful eyes suddenly revealed a playful smile, and he said uncertainly: "It seems like those rumors were true."

Gu Junxiu did not want to argue with him, so he just stood there indifferently.

As the ambassador, Xiao Fan also got down from the carriage. It was just that she missed the conversation between the two of them, she only felt that the surrounding atmosphere was a little strange, so she spoke naturally and unrestrainedly, "Royal Brother's character is frank and straightforward, I hope everyone does not mind." She did not recognize that the handsome man in front of her was Gu Junxiu.

Xiao Ce's eyes revealed a look of amusement, he pointed to Gu Junxiu and said, "Third sister, this is Prince Yu."

Only then did Xiao Fan raise her head. Seeing Gu Junxiu who was standing upright, his face slightly flushed.

But in the end, she was still a princess, and her cultivation was different from an ordinary girl. She quickly returned to her normal self and gave a curtsy. "Greetings, Prince."

Gu Junxiu said coldly, "Princess, there's no need to be so courteous." Xiao Fan still did not dare raise her head to look at him. She could not believe that such a person could be an existence that was akin to a demon in other people's mouths.

"You guys go and arrange the luggage for the Second Prince and Princess." Gu Junxiu said to the Minister of Rites. He then brought Xiao Ce and the other two into the palace.

He sat on the Dragon Throne Palace's Dragon Throne, and when Xiao Ce and Xiao Fan entered, he saw the bright yellow figure seated at the seat of honor, and greeted him with the etiquette of a Dongqing Kingdom: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

After Gu Qingcheng said a few unimportant words, Xiao Ce finally listed the items that he wanted to pay tribute to, one by one. These were all the same as the previous years, there were no big changes. But just as he was about to leave, Xiao Ce said again.

"I've heard that two days from now will be Your Majesty's birthday. Imperial Father specifically ordered me to bring a special gift." After he finished speaking, he brought Xiao Fan and left the throne room. After Gu Junxiu ordered his men to send them back to the relay station, he immediately returned to the palace.

"Your Highness, His Majesty wants you to go to Hall of Mental Cultivation." Eunuch Su stopped him.

He could only drag his slightly exhausted legs to Hall of Mental Cultivation. Seeing Gu Qingcheng's appearance, he felt a little fidgety.

He could not help but ask, "What is Royal Brother worried about?"

Gu Qingcheng had been thinking about what Xiao Ce had said ever since he left the imperial palace. He said worriedly, "If that old thief from Dongqing Kingdom is actually his daughter, doesn't that mean that our imperial harem is always on guard against a wolf?"

"I heard that Third Princess Xiao Fan is very favored by the Emperor and he would never give her daughter as a present."

Gu Junxiu said calmly. He had already enquired about the two of them before, so he was very sure.

Gu Qingcheng was skeptical about his words, and only waited for the results of the birthday banquet.

The news of Xiao Fan's beauty quickly spread throughout the palace. Even though Zi Juan did not see anyone, she still told every single word that the others had heard, and she asked a little suspiciously, "Is there really such a beauty in this world?"

Because every day, when she saw Gu Junxiu's appearance, she already felt that she had the looks of a god. She could not imagine what she would look like if she were more beautiful than him.

She said half-truthfully, "Maybe you can see it in the future."

Zi Juan did not understand the meaning behind her words and looked at her suspiciously. Originally, Ruan Xiaonuan did not want to clarify the matter, but she kept asking, and continued, "If she were to become a Princess Yu in the future, wouldn't you be able to see her everyday?"

There was no sadness in her voice. Perhaps she had already looked away, or perhaps she had hidden her feelings too deeply that no one could see.

Zi Juan was not talking about Xiao Fan at all, afraid that something bad would happen to her. However, news about a mistress in the Zhaoyang Palace soon spread to Chu Ying's ears. She angrily threw out the things in the room again and asked Yu Er, "Have you seen that foreign princess before?"

She shook her head and carefully picked up the fragments on the ground.

Chu Ying suddenly thought that if she was in Zhaoyang Palace, she would never be able to see the appearance of her biggest enemy. After thinking for a while, she said coldly, "Let's go to Tzu Ning Palace."

After the empress dowager heard her request, she agreed without much hesitation. She smiled and said, "That should have been the case. You're the family of one of the court ministers. You should have gone with Assistant Minister Hua, but your identity has been wronged."

Chu Ying pretended to wipe the tears that did not exist at all, and said sensibly: "This servant did not feel wronged, it's just that the world is unpredictable."

The empress dowager saw that she was neither fighting nor fighting for anything else but was sensible. She felt that this girl was suitable for Gu Junxiu. She pulled her hand and comforted her, "You don't have to worry too much either. Even if Xiao Fan becomes Ah Xiu's wangfei, you will definitely still be concubine."

In Chu Ying's eyes, there was a pleased smile, but it was concealed under her gentle smile. The empress dowager saw her gentle appearance and continued to speak. "If your stomach is able to meet the expectations of the young prince, I can help you raise your position as the son of the young prince."

Chu Ying naturally returned to the Zhaoyang Palace with a satisfied smile. But seeing Ruan Xiaonuan's figure, the person who made her feel so good disappeared without a trace. She couldn't help but taunt, "How long can you rely on your highness for? There will soon be a mistress in the palace. At that time, your return will be even worse than mine. "

Ruan Xiaonuan could only stop in her tracks, and looked at her helplessly: "I know my situation, but Miss, there's no need for you to worry." Chu Ying did not achieve his goal, how could she let this go.

"I heard that this time she is a princess from a foreign country, do you think she will allow someone like you to stay by his side?" If you are a sensible person, you must have requested to leave the Zhaoyang Palace very early on, and not wait for someone to come and chase you away. "

When Ruan Xiaonuan heard her taunting, there was not the slightest fluctuation. When looking at Chu Ying, her eyes was very calm as she said, "Miss Chu is still concerned about her situation. Why do you think that a princess like her would allow you to act so wildly in her place? Perhaps it is not certain who will be the first to be driven out. "

Chu Ying was not as calm as she was. She clenched her hands into fists, and her long nails pierced into her flesh, causing her voice to sound the same as usual. "Ruan Xiaonuan, this is a kind reminder to you.

Ruan Xiaonuan immediately laughed out loud, laughing till she was out of breath, "Then should I thank you?"

Chu Ying looked like she was waiting for to thank her, but all she saw was Ruan Xiaonuan laughing even louder, she angrily said, "Just you wait!" She quickly left the area.
