The city of no elephant, the extreme of poverty, is the capital city that has been deeply rooted since the establishment of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty.

Walking on the streets of Elephantless City again, Gu Yuyin was a little confused, and unconsciously walked to the alley where he had made an appointment with that person that day.

"Moan."

Hearing a low call from the man, Gu Yuyin and the maid Yuzi raised their eyes at the same time.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The person who came was Gu Yuyin's husband not long after, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is now favored by the emperor.

Dressed in a purple robe, decorated with a dragon pattern, about the age of his early twenties, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, sharp edges and corners of the jaw, and above the high bridge of the nose, a pair of ink-colored pupils are now particularly breathtaking.

Seeing Gu Yuyin Shi Ran saluting, the prince only took three steps and made two steps towards them, and said as he walked:

"Hurry up, between you and me, there is no need for this."

Gu Yu said: "The prince is kind, the little girl is ashamed." ”

"That will, you only think... Is it kindness? ”

The prince's heart is also like a fish in his throat at the moment, he understands that he is not in love with Gu Yuyin, and marrying her also has other intentions, but when he heard this today, he didn't know why, his heart was inexplicably unbearable.

Gu Yuyin replied: "The prince and I both know it. ”

"It's okay, it's just that you have to believe me,"

The prince looked at each other, and the two pairs of stunning eyes had their own merits, but there was an unusual Huabo flowing under their eyes.

"I will never do anything to hurt you."

The Adam's apple moved slightly, and he added:

"For the sake of our long-time friends."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince."

Seeing that Gu Yuyin was about to salute again, the prince hurriedly helped her up, and inadvertently took her hand out of the alley.

"Master, this is..."The prince's attendant, Qian Ce, also frowned rarely.

"I've taken a fancy to my young lady."

As Gu Yuyin's confidant, Yuzi naturally knew about the matter between her and the prince, she only felt that these two people hadn't recognized their hearts yet, and when they peeled off the fog, everything was not a matter of course.

"......" Qiance didn't bother to explain, and followed the big stride out of the alley.

"You wait for me!" Although Yuzi is a person who practices martial arts, his pace is not as fast as Qiance, who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, so he has to trot to keep up with the pace of the three.

Qian Ce followed behind the prince and Gu Yuyin, and his brows unconsciously twisted into a knot in his heart.

Seven days ago, the prince's mansion.

"Prince, you're back."

The prince sent him to garrison the border pass, and Qiance, as the prince's most powerful henchman, stayed in Wuxiang City, responsible for keeping an eye on every move in the city, as well as that person.

"Hmm." The prince Chi Li walked straight to the main seat and sat down, and the armor that had not had time to fade still showed the master's dust and service in the past six months.

Qiance saluted: "The matter has been done." ”

The prince continued: "In three days, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage. ”

Qian Ce was surprised: It's so fast, and now this matter is on the cusp.

Qian Ce is neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Highness can put this matter on hold for a while." Then he glanced at the prince's uncertain face.

The prince frowned, and then spoke: "It's okay, you can just go and prepare." ”

What else did Qian Ce want to say: "The emperor's ......"

The prince only waved his hand and told him to retreat.

Half a month ago, in the prince's mansion, Qian Ce received a letter from the prince that he was about to return to Beijing, and there was another thing mentioned in the pen, which was related to that person.

Qian Ce was silent, although this matter was not like the prince's style, it was still done as early as always.

The man is only twenty years old, the sword eyebrows fly obliquely into the mane, the thin lips are slightly pursed, and the woman who follows him is small and exquisite, and the country is beautiful.

The prince and Gu Yuyin, the fiancée on the cusp of public opinion in the capital, appeared outside the most prosperous Jingyang Building in Wuxiang City, which attracted a lot of side eyes for a while, and there were also whispers to Gu Yuyin.

"How can she still have a face."

"How can such a person be worthy of the crown prince?"

"I don't know what kind of fox trick I used to secretly climb into the prince's bed."

"Such a person, I'm afraid it's unbearable to be abandoned by my lover."

"It's just ......"

These naturally fell into the ears of the quick-hearing prince, and the majestic gaze swept away, and those who either had a disdainful look or a word of rejection were silent for a while, and seeing that Gu Yuyin beside her looked as usual, she was pulled to prepare to enter the most prestigious Jingyang Tower in the capital.

"Prince," Gu Yuyin suddenly shouted to stop him, seeing his inquiring gaze coming, his eyes signaled to the prince's tightly gripping wrist.

The prince hurriedly let go of his understanding and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was abrupt." ”

is about to become a husband and wife, and it is nothing to pull hands in public, this is Gu Yuyin, this is really special, even though she knows in her heart that the prince married her for some situation, but she doesn't want to smear her reputation again.

"Snort." Disdainful laughter came, and a girl in a goose yellow dress blocked Gu Yuyin's way.

"Who is playing a pure drama here?"

The girl's face was full of disdain, together with the golden hairpin at the end of her hair, flashy and unpretentious, as soon as the girl spoke, her tone was aggressive:

"The prince's hand, are you worthy?"

"I don't deserve it, don't worry about Miss Liao."

The girl in front of her, Gu Yuyin also recognizes it, Liao Mengzhu, the daughter of the household servant, in the circle of young ladies in Beijing, she has a lot of bullying others with her family, and she is usually no match for Gu Yuyin.

Without waiting for Liao Mengzhu to answer, the prince opened his mouth: "Miss Gu is the princess of this king, please Miss Liao respect herself." ”

The prince hid the word "side" and bit the word "princess", no matter how big Liao Mengzhu was, he understood a few guesses.

Liao Mengzhu stomped his feet unwillingly, and unconsciously rubbed the silk handkerchief in his hand in the palm of his hand: "Brother Prince~"

The tone of the snort only made Qian Ce behind the prince tremble goosebumps, such a pretentious woman, Qian Ce only felt that the prince couldn't appreciate it as much as him.

"Please Miss Liao, respect yourself." The prince only dropped this sentence, and took Gu Yuyin to the private room on the second floor.

Without the crown prince, Liao Mengzhu's face was exposed in front of everyone, and her reputation in Beijing was not much better than that of Gu Yuyin, who was a little corrupt now, and she was the only one who was embarrassed today.

Hearing the ridicule of others, Liao Mengzhu gritted his teeth tightly:

's father said that he would recommend her as the crown princess this time, but the prince displeased His Majesty this time, and a good dream has been dashed; Today, she was humiliated in front of so many people, and she Liao Mengzhu would never swallow this breath!

In the private room on the second floor, Yuzi and Qiance were retreated, and the prince and Gu Yuyin sat facing each other by the glass platform by the window.

"Yin'er." The prince looked at Gu Yuyin opposite and smiled gently, "It's okay to call you like this?" ”

Gu Yuyin looked at the scenery downstairs and said lightly: "It's okay." ”

In the past, the prince called her Miss Gu in front of her, and at most she had a "whisper", but now she is about to get married, and she can also be called with a "chant".

Gu Yuyin withdrew her gaze from the window and looked at the prince: "I only wonder why me." ”

"Why not you." The prince's tone was calm, and he couldn't see joy, anger, sorrow, or joy.

Gu Yuyin said: "You know, I am not worthy of you now. ”

The corners of the prince's mouth pulled a faint arc: "What's not worthy, since it's you, it can only be you." ”

Gu Yuyin had no intention of playing Tai Chi with him, and simply cut it off with a knife:

"If you are for the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yu Song is the best candidate."

Seeing that the prince was silent, Gu Yuyin lightly tasted the new dim sum in Jingyang Building, the faint fragrance of flower gardenia, it was really the best quality.

"If you want to take revenge on Shu Yun, it's too late to cut me now."

Gu Yuyin turned his head away, not letting the prince hear the tremor in his voice:

"He has nothing to do with me."

Shu Yun was captured by the prince himself, Gu Yuyin knew it, but the young man's temptation, what reason can he speak of. Gu Yuyin only thought that she and the prince were innocent at the beginning, so the moth put out the fire, regardless of anything else, now, it is really ironic.

The prince said, "I know your relationship with him. ”

The prince also said, "Although I have no sincerity towards you, but when I enter the palace, I will treat you well and will not treat you badly." ”

Gu Yuyin smiled self-deprecatingly:

"I didn't expect that this eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion who has lost her virtue will be of such great use to His Royal Highness the Prince."

The crown prince frowned:

"It's not a good thing to be self-deprecating."

"I don't say much," Gu Yuyin stood up and raised the wine glass on the table in greeting:

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince." Then drink it all.

The prince also raised his glass in return, he had done everything the man had told him, and he would never refuse his words.

After Gu Yuyin left, not long after, the door of the private room was pushed open again:

"This king is late."

With a hearty laugh, the guest was the third prince - Chi Xiaoyu.

Today, there are four sons in the saint, the eldest prince Chi left the age of three and became the crown prince, the second prince Chi Yunling died young, the third prince Chi Xiaoyu is born of today's concubine, the fifth prince Chi Huai is still young, the world knows that the future emperor is not the eldest prince, or the third prince, and only these two can compete for the supreme position.

The three princes are boys and girls, with picturesque appearances, beautiful and exquisite, lip grease, and peach blossoms in their eyes. This kind of demeanor is like a very beautiful concubine, and the emperor himself named Chi Xiaoyu. Compared with the talent, the third prince is not inferior to the eldest prince by half a point, the concubine Niangniang is a foreign family, and the mother's family is not weaker than other mothers, but in the end, it is not a native person, and the throne will naturally not be thought about on the head of his son Chi Xiaoyu, but it does not mean that Chi Xiaoyu does not covet the throne.

Over the years, the open and secret battles have made everyone look at them, but big things will not be on the surface, and they can be regarded as the surface of brothers, friends and brothers.

"Big brother, this is drinking and talking with a beautiful woman." As soon as he entered, Chi Xiaoyu saw the bottle of marigold cup opposite the prince, picked it up and watched it, sighed twice before putting it down.

"It's not as good as the third brother, I heard that my younger brother and sister gave birth to Lin'er, congratulations." The prince signaled, and Qian Ce stepped forward and handed over a jade brocade gift box.

The prince said: "This thing congratulates my nephew on the full moon, and the third brother should not think that the eldest brother is stingy." ”

The third prince returned the salute: "Where, where, the gift of the eldest brother, it must be well collected." ”

Open the brocade box, it is a gold-inlaid jade-style longevity lock, the jade is clear and clean, at a glance it is a treasure jade that is difficult to find in the world, the third prince Chi Xiaoyu praised:

"Good jade, I have to thank his imperial uncle for Xiao'er."

The prince smiled, different from the gentleness just now, this smile didn't even reach the bottom of his eyes.
