Zhao Chengyuan took the notebook in his hand and flipped through a few pages, "This congratulatory gift from the prince came in handy unexpectedly." ”

"Congratulatory gifts?"

Han Youning didn't know that Zhao Chengyuan still had this notebook, and when she saw Zhao Chengyuan take it out, she was very puzzled.

"Well, it was brought by the prince when he came to the banquet in the first month. He said that he didn't have any money on hand, so this note should be used as a New Year's gift, and it can be used when our children are enlightened in the future. ”

Zhao Chengyuan's thought at the time was that Zhao Chen was demonstrating to him by doing this, challenging his trust in Youning.

After all, he gets along with Youning day and night, and it is easy to find out that there is a problem with Youning's handwriting. If he loses his mind in the heat of jealousy, the relationship between him and Youning will be over.

Now it seems that Zhao Chen's true intention may be to make up for the flaws for Youning.

Youning's words have always been a big flaw in her, and if they are discovered by someone with a heart, they will definitely be used to attack her. And if he is generous enough, this book can be used as a shield.

What the truth is, I'm afraid only Zhao Chen himself knows.

"I'll see."

Han Youning took the notebook from Zhao Chengyuan's hand.

This poster is exactly the same as what he wrote for her in his previous life. No, the words in this book seem to be more neat, and each word is dipped in ink, and the power penetrates the back of the paper.

She couldn't guess what Zhao Chen's true intentions were, but for more than a year, he really didn't do anything to hurt her. If it was his good intentions, she believed it.

She handed the notebook back to Zhao Chengyuan, "Put it away." ”

Zhao Chengyuan took the notebook into the study and placed it in the most inconspicuous place on the ground floor of Duobao Pavilion. He was very reluctant to admit that others were considerate of Yu Ning's protection.

In this life, he took the lead and protected You Ning behind him before Zhao Chen, and he wanted to protect her by himself.

It was only a moment before he entered the study, and when he came out again, Youning was already there drowsy, his eyelids half-closed.

He walked over and asked with a smile, "So sleepy?" ”

Han Youning suddenly woke up and opened his eyes, "Oh, I had a late lunch break today." ”

She gestured to her feet.

Zhao Chengyuan bent down and picked her up, "I haven't hugged you for some days." ”

Han Youning pushed him, "During the day, there are still people outside ......"

"Afraid of what they do." Zhao Chengyuan pulled over the cloak, wrapped her tightly, and walked out of the living room with his feet.

Han Youning didn't struggle anymore, nestled in his arms and hugged him.

"Lord Wang, I'm so happy that you believe me."

Being trusted, no matter what she encounters, she doesn't have to be afraid, it's really a very down-to-earth and happy thing.

She didn't even need an explanation.

"Silly girl."

Zhao Chengyuan hugged her steadily, walking slowly, strolling in the cold winter wind.

Even though Youning has reconciled with her previous life, the heartbreak she suffered from not being trusted has always haunted her, making her very vulnerable and cautious every time she encounters this threshold of trust.

She had already endured too much at such a young age, and how could he bear to make her feel a little uneasy.

——

Wang Caidan returned to the Zhenguo Mansion and met Liao Yuansi as soon as he entered the mansion.

Liao Yuansi was dressed in moon white, thin and sharp, and the indigo cloak he wore on his body hunted in the wind.

She had only regarded him as a scholar who came and went at a moment's notice, and had never found that he was so aggressive and so subtle.

Wang Caidan walked forward without squinting.

The last person she wants to see now is Liao Yuansi.

"Is the county lord dead?"

Liao Yuansi looked at her red and swollen eyes and asked.

Wang Caidan stopped and said coldly, "I can't die and have nothing to do with you." ”

Liao Yuansi smiled lightly, "You have already accepted the marriage decree, and as your fiancé, I naturally have to care about you." ”

Wang Caidan said, "You are dreaming! As long as you don't have six ceremonies, this family business will not count! ”

Liao Yuansi smiled, "Today, Jiaci carried Cai Li to propose marriage, exchanged you and my birthday, and I have already passed the six ceremonies." ”

Wang Caidan's face was ugly, and he rushed to the mourning hall angrily.

Mrs. Wang thinks differently from Wang Can and Wang Mao, and she thinks differently from Wang Caidan, she has no ambitions, nor does she have the mind of a concubine, she just wants to live in peace and stability now.

Although it is humiliating for her daughter to marry the enemy Liao, it can reassure the emperor, protect the peace of the Wang family, and also keep her daughter safe, then this is a good family matter.

She let her daughter cry and vent her troubles, and persuaded Wang Caidan to go back to rest.

Wang Caidan was disappointed that her mother used her to keep her safe, she knew that she could not change anything, and her only hope was in the queen.

She did not go back to the courtyard, but stayed in the mourning hall, thinking about what Uncle Seven Emperor said in her heart, thinking about the bits and pieces of more than ten years, and feeling sad in her heart.

Hu Mingzhu is here.

Hu Mingzhu's face was pale, he looked weak, but his spirit was very good.

After all, Wang Caidan is her biggest opponent to become the crown princess, and now that Wang Caidan is accused of marrying Liao Yuansi, the possibility of becoming the crown princess is much greater.

Although she had a peculiar smell, her grandmother said that as long as the prince found the thousand-year-old snow lotus and came back, she would give her the snow lotus. With that holy relic, she will be fine.

After she gave a salute in front of the spirit, she gloated and stood beside Wang Caidan, "I heard that you have a good family business, and I am here to congratulate you." ”

Wang Caidan had never looked at Hu Mingzhu before, she didn't want to be the crown princess, so naturally it didn't matter if Hu Mingzhu had a deep love for the prince. But now that he has ended up miserable, seeing Hu Mingzhu so arrogant, he feels uncomfortable.

Wang Caidan said lightly, "Before the last step, this family matter doesn't count." My cousin was a little bit older. ”

Hu Mingzhu pouted, "Is there still a time for the emperor's marriage to be counted?" Besides, you are now the daughter of a criminal minister, even if you can't do it, it is absolutely impossible for you to be the crown princess. ”

Wang Caidan sneered, "There are no absolutes in the world. ”

Wang Pu scolded, "Eldest sister, Nanzhang came to see you, you can talk to her well." ”

Wang Pu is now the prince of Zhenguo, and his voice is much higher than before. And now that Wang Caidan has no possibility of being the future crown princess, he doesn't have to scruple about it, and he is becoming more and more unkind to her.

Wang Caidan sneered, "The villain has a will." ”

Wang Pu's face sank, "You are now discussing your marriage, you should be more cautious in your words and deeds, if you marry into the Liao family and still have such words and deeds, I am afraid that you will be disliked by your mother-in-law, which will not be good for you." ”

Wang Caidan still wanted to ridicule him for a few words, but when he saw a few younger brothers and sisters coming over, he threw off his sleeves and left the mourning hall and went to the warm pavilion in the back.

Hu Mingzhu followed.

She took a sip of tea with a smile, sighed contentedly, and said, "I know you're unwilling, but what's the solution, this is fate." It's not yours after all, and no matter how hard you try, it won't help. Cousin, you have to accept your fate. ”

The sentence "It's not yours after all, it's not yours" stabbed Wang Caidan, and she raised her head suddenly, "Yes, it's not yours after all." Not to mention whether the prince is willing to marry you, the blood certificate is a terminal illness, cousin, you have to accept your fate. ”

Hu Mingzhu didn't react for a while, "What blood evidence, what does it have to do with me?"
