"Governor Gu." Nangong Xuanyi had a faint smile on his face, and raised his left hand horizontally to signal. "You may be seated."

"Thank you, Second Prince." Gu Yanran sat down cross-legged opposite Nangong Xuanyi.

Nangong Xuanyi took a teacup, poured it full of tea and brought it to Gu Yanran, with a little interest in his words. "Governor Gu usually looks at other men, but he is also so direct?"

After Nangong Xuanyi said this, Gu Yanran realized that she had been staring at him directly from the moment she sat down.

"Ahem, uh-huh." Gu Yanran hurriedly retracted her gaze, trying to change the topic with a weak heart. "The study starts today, I wonder which art the second prince wants to study first?"

Nangong Xuanyi didn't seem to hear Gu Yanran's question, and concentrated on playing with the cup in his hand.

Gu Yanran was also very patient, did not urge him to answer, and was silent with him.

Inside Yazhu, it was so quiet that only the sound of the surrounding water waves and birds and cicadas chirping.

And after a while, I heard him throw again.

"I heard...... The imperial grandmother gave you the Treasure Pavilion and Qing Drunken Pavilion under my name? ”

"The second prince misunderstood." Gu Yanran explained solemnly. "The Empress Dowager didn't give me the Treasure Pavilion and Qing Zuixuan, but just handed it over to me to take care of it for the time being, and now that you are back, the management of these two shops will naturally be handed back to you."

Nangong Xuanyi put down the cup he was playing with, crossed the table with his long arms, and picked up Gu Yanran's chin with his fingertips. "I don't know if Governor Gu has a marriage match?"

“！！” Gu Yanran's breath stagnated, and her red lips opened slightly in surprise.

"Huh." Nangong Xuanyi withdrew his hand with a smile, propped one hand on the side of his face, and stared at her intently.

When Gu Yanran came back from her surprise, she was facing Nangong Xuanyi's smiling gaze.

What do you say about being withdrawn and not liking people...... She knew she couldn't believe it!

Gu Yanran tried hard to suppress the indescribable throbbing in her heart. “…… The second prince is sure that he didn't ask the wrong question? ”

"If you heard it right, then I heard it right." Nangong Xuanyi replied ambiguously.

Gu Yanran replied with a down-and-out smile. "There is no marriage yet."

"I heard that Governor Gu has four unique skills, has both ability and political integrity, and is even more beautiful than Huayue." Nangong Xuanyi raised his sword eyebrows lightly. "Such a beautiful woman, but there is no marriage?"

"It seems that the two princes only hear one of them, but they don't know the other."

Nangong Xuanyi couldn't hide his curiosity. "What do you mean by that?"

"In the eyes of the world, the concubine of the Protector Mansion is ignorant, rude, immoral, unscrupulous, abusing and oppressing sisters, beating and scolding slaves, and even shamelessly seducing men...... Well, for the time being, I only remember so much, if the second prince wants to hear more comprehensively, why don't you send someone out to inquire? ”

Gu Yanran was in a calm state, as if those evil words were not aimed at her.

After a long time, Nangong Xuanyi held back a sentence. "Governor Gu is ...... Free. ”

"Thanks for the compliment." Gu Yanran took Nangong Xuanyi's words as a compliment to her.

Nangong Xuanyi was dumbfounded for a while. “……”

"Did the second prince think of studying He Yi first?" Gu Yanran tried to change the topic again.

"I'm more interested in you than studying the four arts." Nangong Xuanyi's words were straightforward and did not hide his intentions.

Gu Yanran couldn't help but doubt her ears. "What, what?"

She can't be an auditory hallucination, right?

It's auditory hallucinations, right?

Well......

It must have been an auditory hallucination.

Nangong Xuanyi saw Gu Yanran's panic and helplessness, so he didn't repeat, but answered Gu Yanran's last question. "Let's learn chess."

Halfway through the third game of the game, Gu Yanran put the chess pieces in her hand back into the chess box.

"I throw in the towel." Gu Yanran admits that she has no ability to teach Nangong Xuanyi chess. "The second prince is superb in chess, if you want to continue to study this art, you can ask for another master."

"Let's learn the art of the piano."

"The second prince's piano skills are extraordinary, if you want to continue your studies, please be smart."

"Let's study painting."

"You won."

"Study calligraphy."

“……”

……

Gu Yanran lost the four arts of piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and completely lost to Nangong Xuanyi.

"Second Prince." Gu Yanran said with an expression that was so serious that she couldn't be more serious. "You are excellent in the four arts, and you are much better than me, and when I return home, I will write to the monarch to ask the monarch to replace the master of the four arts for you."

When Nangong Xuanyi heard this, he was thoughtful. "So, your four arts are not as good as mine?"

“…… It's not as good as it. "Not to mention, she was so shocked that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to get into.

"Then I will be your master of the four arts."

“……”

## #翌日, Shangheng Academy

Gu Yanran felt that the atmosphere around her was strange since she entered school early in the morning, and she was suspicious.

The evil words that have been in her ears since she was born again are gone.

No, it should be said...... Is it that no one in this school is talking about her right or wrong?

Regardless of the past, let's just talk about the housekeeper children who were clamoring to go home the day before yesterday and ask the elders to participate in her book.

There was no class for her in the school yesterday, so she returned to Yingyue Mansion after receiving the decree in the morning, and went to Yi to live in seclusion at the appointed time.

Although he suffered a series of blows, he was finally escorted back to Yingyue Mansion by Nangong Xuanyi.

During the whole process, she didn't have the opportunity to get in touch with the bad things that were directed at her.

As usual, the topic of her latest events would have to go on for days.

This time, why is it a little different?

She was really surprised.

Just when Gu Yanran was puzzled, someone who could solve her puzzles came.

"Sister Chang."

Gu Yanran looked for prestige, and sure enough, it was Gu Kerou who caused her latest incident two days ago.

And accompanying Gu Kerou was the culprit who drowned in her previous life, Du Mengyao.

"Sister Chang." Gu Kerou stopped in front of Gu Yanran and raised a coquettish smile. "I heard that you went to the Second Prince's Mansion to give a lecture yesterday?"

Gu Yanran wanted to see Gu Kerou's next tricks. "Well, there were."

"Really went?" Du Mengyao questioned.

"Don't ask me if you don't believe me." Gu Yanran turned around and wanted to leave.

Du Mengyao and Gu Kerou hurriedly grabbed Gu Yanran's left and right hands one by one.

"Wait!"

"Sister Chang!"

"Shhh Gu Yanran felt a tearing pain in her right wrist, and quickly shook off the two. "Let go of me!"

Gu Yanran lifted her long sleeves to look at her wrist, and saw a slender blood mark.

"Gu, Ke, Rou!" Gu Yanran glared at Gu Kerou angrily. "Can't you stop me for a day?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, sister." Gu Kerou only said a few words, and tears fell. "I didn't mean to, I just wanted to stop you."

Gu Yanran had no patience. "Don't cry and pretend to be pitiful, I said, I'm not interested in acting with you, just say it if you have any purpose!"

Du Mengyao glanced at Gu Kerou who was doing bad things hatefully, and saw that she was still crying, and she didn't bother to care.

"I want to see the second prince!" Du Mengyao commanded. "I know you're going to the Second Prince's Mansion to teach later, take me with you!"
