At the end of the banquet, Mu Qianxia and Gu Li left together.

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, please stay."

When Mu Qianxia heard this, he paused, and turned to look.

I saw the Great Prince of Eastern Qin standing not far behind her, looking at her with a smile.

The Great Prince of Eastern Qin walked towards Mu Qianxia step by step, and stood three steps in front of her, "Eldest princess, are you going to leave without saying hello?" In order to see you again, this king has been chasing you all the way for a long time. ”

"Oh? That was a thought out of the princess. Mu Qianxia smiled slightly, that smile was like the warm sun in this winter, warm and bright.

The Great Prince of Eastern Qin couldn't help but shake his head, and his eyes were full of admiration and amazement. Marrying such a woman back home, even if it is relative day by day, will never be bored.

Gu Li frowned, as a man, of course he could understand the infatuation and fanaticism in the eyes of the Great Prince of Eastern Qin. He quietly blocked in front of Mu Qianxia, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what the eldest prince wants to do with our princess?" Gu Li deliberately bit the word "we", as if telling the eldest prince that he was just an outsider now, and it was not suitable to get too close to Mu Qianxia.

The Great Prince of Eastern Qin didn't seem to understand the meaning of Gu Li's words, so he walked around Gu Li and looked directly into Mu Qianxia's eyes, "Of course, this king misses the eldest princess too much, and he can't wait to see the eldest princess again." Just now, the eldest princess allowed the king to chase her in the main hall, and the king naturally would not miss any opportunity to contact the eldest princess. ”

Mu Qianxia's eyebrows frowned slightly, the great prince of Eastern Qin was far from being as kind and friendly as he appeared, he was good at hiding, the city was extremely deep, as a member of the royal family, if he was really as harmless as he appeared, he would not grow up safely, let alone become one of the best candidates for the crown prince. Even if he helped her today for some reason, she knew that it wasn't his intention, and she wouldn't be stupid enough to think that he fell in love with her at first sight. Although he kept saying that he loved her, she didn't see any affection in her eyes, even if it occasionally crossed a stunning color, it was more like a hunter's appreciation of his prey, which made her dislike it.

But Mu Qianxia didn't show half a point on his face, but smiled slightly, avoiding answering: "Thank you for today's matter, Qianxia, thank you for the help of the eldest prince, Qianxia is grateful."

"The eldest princess is polite, but it's a gesture. The eldest princess doesn't have to see her like this in the future, this king's name is Gu Chenjing, and the eldest princess will call this king Chenjing in the future. ”

Mu Qianxia was also not polite, "In this case, the eldest prince will call this princess Qianxia in the future." ”

"Good. In fact, when Chen Jing was still in Xichu, he had heard a lot of deeds in Qianxia, and he never thought that when he saw it today, Chen Jing's admiration and admiration for Qianxia was even greater. It's just that Chen Jing still has something unclear, since Qianxia has such a ability, why has he been hiding it before, pretending to be crazy and stupid in front of people, until now he is a blockbuster?"

Mu Qianxia said secretly: "It turns out that the focus is here."

Facing Gu Chenjing's tentative eyes, Mu Qianxia said without changing: "We are all members of the royal family, and we must all know very well about the things that the royal family does not see, if I don't pretend to be a little waste wood, how can I grow up safely, the open gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, even if I have my father and brother to protect me, but they can't protect me all the time, so I have to learn to protect myself." Now I don't need to, and I know that if I want to live better, I can only be ruthless. Blindly giving in is a sign of incompetence and cowardice in the eyes of those people, they regard your kindness as the capital to oppress you, for this kind of person, if you can't suppress them at one time, there will be endless troubles. ”

"It's really a hero's vision. Asanatsu, we're so similar, won't you consider marrying me? Gu Chenjing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"That'...... This princess will reluctantly think about it. Mu Qianxia said half-truths and half-truths.

She has always been optimistic and lives in the present, since she has to accept the arrangement of fate, then why doesn't she accept it calmly? This will also avoid some unnecessary troubles. Gu Chenjing in front of him is handsome, powerful, and status, it should not be bad to live a life with such a person, even if there is no love, isn't it okay to respect each other like a guest?

"Hahahahahaha By the way, let me tell you one more thing, your imperial brother has agreed to Chenjing's request, and Chenjing has been accompanied by Qianxia during his time in the capital, so Qianxia won't be unwilling, right? ”

"How come, this is how it should be, the friendship of the landlord, Qianxia still understands." She wanted to refuse, but did she have the right to refuse? He told her after everything had been arranged, how could he ever really care about her opinion?

Gu Li, who had never spoken, suddenly said, "Princess, we should go."

"Huh?" Mu Qianxia didn't react for a while, but she couldn't say a word to Shang Gu Li's dark and deep eyes at the moment, so she could only nod stupidly.

"The eldest prince, there is still something in the house, let's leave first." After speaking, he grabbed Mu Qianxia's hand and left.

…………

The two of them were speechless all the way, even though Gu Li's face was calm at the moment, and even with a light smile, Mu Qianxia felt that Gu Li was angry.

Mu Qianxia didn't know why he was angry, so she didn't say a word all the way, trying to minimize her sense of existence, and wanted Gu Li to be as quiet as possible.

Back in the house, Mu Qianxia walked quietly in front, Gu Li slowly paced behind, and when she reached the fork, Gu Li suddenly called out to her: "Princess."

When Mu Qianxia heard this, she paused, turned around, looked at Gu Li, and waited for him to continue.

"Princess, have you really decided to marry Gu Chenjing?" Gu Li stared at Mu Qianxia tightly and said seriously.

Mu Qianxia didn't answer and asked: "Do I have a reason and right to refuse?"

"As long as you don't want to, I'll find a way to cancel this marriage."

Marriage canceled? Gu Li's power is so strong?

Mu Qianxia suppressed the shock in her heart and smiled bitterly, "No need." Even if I don't marry, I will marry someone else, as a pawn to consolidate power, since I am destined to marry someone I don't love, what difference does it make to marry whom? At least Gu Chenjing looks good, rich and powerful, and is still one of the candidates for the throne, I don't have to look at other people's faces when I get married, and I will respect him like a guest for a lifetime, it should be not bad, right?"

Gu Li was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Okay, I know."

Mu Qianxia said softly: "It's not early, I'll go back first, you can rest early, good night." With that, Mu Qianxia turned around and planned to leave.

Just as Mu Qianxia was about to take a step forward, Gu Li's deep voice came from behind him again, "Princess, do you have anyone you like?"

Mu Qianxia's body stiffened, "Never." ”

"If one day you had someone you liked, would you want to marry him?" Gu Li asked.

"Does this question matter? I'm about to get married. ”

"Important." Gu Li said stubbornly.

"But I can't wait." After a long time, Mu Qianxia's voice came slowly, and it seemed to sigh.

After that, Mu Qianxia didn't wait for Gu Li to continue to ask, and left directly quickly, with a slight panic in his back.

Gu Li stood quietly in place, looking at Mu Qianxia's back, blending into the night little by little......

…………

A small courtyard somewhere in the capital.

"Your Highness, the third prince is here."

"This third brother of this king came really fast. You all go down, and this king wants to have a good talk with the third brother. ”

"Yes."

"Third brother, you're really fast."

"Didn't the eldest brother do today just to let Li come to you as soon as possible?"

The people who were talking in this room were Gu Chenjing and Gu Li.

"Really? I didn't expect this king to be so obvious. Gu Chenjing leaned on the soft collapse and said with a smile.

"What is the purpose of the royal brother's visit?" Gu Li stood in front of the window, looking at the night outside the window, and asked without answering.

"This king's performance should be very clear, this king is here for Mu Qianxia."

"You don't like her, and she doesn't like you." Gu Li is sure of authenticity.

"How can you be so sure? Zi is not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish? How can you be sure that she will not fall in love with this king in the future? ”

"......" him, really not sure. He can control everything about events, but he can't control her, he can't control her heart.

Gu Li hooked his lips and laughed at himself.

Gu Chenjing saw this scene clearly, "Third brother, do you like her?"

"Nope." Gu Li blurted out without thinking about it, but in Gu Chenjing's eyes, it seemed to be deliberately covered up.

"Third brother, you won't be unable to do it then, will you?" Gu Chenjing raised his eyebrows and said.

"No, it won't. Brother Huang, let's take care of my own affairs first. ”

"Don't worry about the third brother." Gu Chenjing said in a deep voice.

"Tell me, how can you give up marrying Mu Qianxia?"

"It's rare to see a beautiful, capable, and interesting woman like her, and it's rare to meet someone who can arouse the interest of this king, you say, why should this king give up?"

"It seems that we can't get along? In this case, I hope that the eldest brother will not blame the centrifugal ruthlessness. After that, without waiting for Gu Chenjing to respond, he walked straight to the door.

"You say, if Mu Qianxia knows that you are close to her one day, and your kindness to her is purposeful, you say, what will happen to her?" Gu Chenjing's deep voice came from behind.

Gu Li's forward footsteps suddenly stopped, and his body stiffened.

What will happen? Gu Li never thought about it, not that it was unnecessary and that he didn't have time, but that he ......

was suddenly mentioned by Gu Chenjing today, and he realized that he was scared from the bottom of his heart, so he chose to escape and not think about it. Now that I think about it, Mu Qianxia may hate him, and even want to kill him. For some reason, when Gu Li thought that Mu Qianxia would hate him, his heart felt as if it was grabbed by a big hand, and it hurt like suffocation.

Gu Li took a deep breath, suppressed the faint pain in his heart, and strode away without looking back.

Gu Chenjing looked at Gu Li's departing back, his thin lips were slightly hooked, which can make a ruthless and heartless person become affectionate, Mu Qianxia's ability is not small, he is really becoming more and more curious about her now.

"Things are getting more and more interesting......"
