Chapter 402: A Chance Encounter

Gu Qinghuan followed Ah Shuang to the back of the Qianqing Palace for a while, and then smelled the faint fragrance of plum blossoms.

The fragrance is a little faint, but it is a little different from the richness of the plum. The red plum in the cold winter wax moon is not only dazzling, but also has a long fragrance.

It is no wonder that the ancients always had countless praises for red plums, and in fact, some reasons can be glimpsed from them.

"Does Fujin still feel bored? It smells good. ”

Ah Shuang stopped, closed her eyes and inhaled softly. Sure enough, after the fragrance entered the tip of the nose, the previous boredom in the hall was swept away.

"It seems to be much better." Gu Qinghuan stopped and looked at the shadow of the plum tree in the distance, and said, "It's still the plum tree in the palace." There are only one or two trees in our house, and there are too few. ”

The palace is a large place, and a small piece of merlin can be planted.

The place of the Fourth Elder Brother Mansion is so small, and once there are more types of trees planted, there will naturally only be one or two red plum trees.

"If Fu Jin likes red plums..."Ah Shuang tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "When the slave maid goes out another day, buy some and come back to insert bottles, right?" ”

"When the slave went out a few days ago, she saw a vendor selling it."

"It's fine." Gu Qinghuan felt that this idea was good, and said, "We've been out for a while, it's time to go back." ”

Before she came out, she told Yinzhen that she would only come out for a quarter of an hour.

"Hmm." Ah Shuang nodded, and reached out to hold Gu Qinghuan's hand. The snow on the ground looks like it has just been cleared, but it's too cold for it to freeze along the way, and it's going to be slippery.

For the sake of prudence, it is safer for two people to support each other.

"Four Blessings?"

As soon as he turned around, a figure appeared in front of him. Gu Qinghuan was seriously looking at the road under his feet, and when he heard a somewhat familiar voice, he stopped and raised his head.

The person who caught his eye turned out to be the prince.

How did he come out? Gu Qinghuan recalled the scene when he first came out, and at that time the prince seemed... Not in his place.

At that time, Gu Qinghuan didn't think much about it... It turns out that this guy also thinks the palace is too stuffy and sneaks out?

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Qinghuan obeyed his body, which can be regarded as a formal salute by Zhou Zhou.

"Lone went out for a walk at will, and I never thought of meeting Sifujin. It just so happened that Lone had hidden something in his heart for a long time, and he wanted to consult Sifujin. I don't know, is the Four Blessings empty? ”

The prince had a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and his attitude was also very polite. But I don't know why... When he said this, there was a sense of oppression that people couldn't refuse.

Gu Qinghuan couldn't help frowning and quietly looked around.

There are still heavily armed guards all around, even if there are people in every corner. Want... The prince shouldn't make any moves.

"Okay." Gu Qinghuan bowed his head and saw that the prince pointed in a direction. There, under a tree.

It's just that in the cold winter, the leaves are almost withered. There are a lot of ice crystals hanging on the branches, and they are still beautiful from a distance.

"Fu Jin..."Ah Shuang was still a little worried. Inside... I am really a little afraid of this prince of the Qing Dynasty.

"It's okay, you just stand a little farther away and watch, don't worry." Gu Qinghuan said gently, leaned over to Ah Shuang's ear again, and said, "There are a lot of people here, don't be afraid." ”

Ah Shuang gritted her teeth, and after thinking about it, she stood in place and watched Gu Qinghuan walk away.

Around the tree, there were indeed a little fewer people. But only a dozen paces away, there were guards standing.

"Did Sifujin think that the palace was too stuffy and came out to relax? Or do you think that such an occasion is too boring and lazy to wait for a long time before you come out? ”

The prince looked at the ice crystals on the treetops, but his eyes did not stay on Gu Qinghuan's body, and asked such a question lightly.

Gu Qinghuan followed the prince's line of sight and looked at the tree, and suddenly felt that he didn't feel like he was looking at the treetops, but more like looking at the slightly gray sky.

What does he mean by this question?

Such an occasion is too boring, too lazy to stay? Is it because that's what he thinks in his heart?

Does the prince think that such a Lantern Festival for family reunion is actually too cumbersome and boring? Most people, on such occasions, are just hypocritical and aggrieved, pretending to be lively?

Truly. Many of the people in the palace are best at doing superficial work.

Just like that... It is really surprising that such a "fact" came out of the prince's mouth so easily, without concealing it.

"It's not like what His Highness would say."

Gu Qinghuan said: "Your Highness is in a high position, and the people around you are all welcomed. It's rare, but there is such an idea. ”

Some people, who have been touted so much, float up and don't know where their place is.

"Always be prepared for danger in times of peace." The prince smiled indifferently, and his eyes looked a little deep. He glanced at Gu Qinghuan seriously, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Gu Qinghuan was a little uncomfortable with such a look, but he still raised his head to meet his gaze and said, "When I came out before, I said that I would go back in a quarter of an hour." ”

"Hmm." The prince responded gently, but there was still no practical reaction.

Gu Qinghuan felt even more depressed in her heart. He might as well say, "Then you can go back" or something. If she just turned around and left, wouldn't it seem a little rude?

Just as Gu Qinghuan thought about it and was about to really turn around and leave, the prince suddenly spoke again.

"I helped you, is that how you are?" The prince said leisurely.

Gu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, and then took back the steps he had just moved, and looked at the prince with some puzzlement. What does he mean by that? Helped her? What's busy? Listening to this, it seems like a little complaining.

Suddenly, Gu Qinghuan felt a little furious, calmed down a little, and said, "I don't know what His Highness said." ”

"It's Suiyuan's business."

The prince's tone was very indifferent, as if he was mentioning something inconsequential, and said, "Didn't you let people stab things in front of me?" ”

Gu Qinghuan's pupils contracted slightly, and then he was a little relieved, and said, "I thought that in this matter, I and His Highness's goals and interests are the same. ”

"So speaking of which, it doesn't mean who helped whom. His Royal Highness is in a high position, and once the people around him with ill intentions are not controlled, isn't it also a bad thing? ”

"At the end of the day, it's just a mutual benefit."
