Yu Taizhi sat opposite Ling Chan.

He picked up the chopsticks, added a shrimp and put it in Ling Chan's bowl, and said with a chuckle: "This table of delicacies, it's really a waste not to eat, since they are gone, let's eat?" ”

The gauze on the girl's head fluttered slightly, and the face hidden behind it was hazy, and she said lightly: "His Royal Highness Prince Xie, it's just that this table of dishes is already cold, so it's better to call someone to come here." ”

"But I'm curious, what are you and my brother going to eat." Yu Taizhi said softly, "It's really inconvenient to wear a hat, you can take it off." ”

Ling Chan remained motionless.

Taizhi asked softly, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

"No appetite."

"Will you lose your appetite too?" Taiji seemed to chuckle.

So His Royal Highness the Crown Prince put down his chopsticks, he sighed, his tone was still gentle, "Are you willing to eat with your third brother, but you don't want to join me?" ”

"-Chan."

This is the first time that he called Ling Chan's name so intimately, but his tone was cold and chilling.

"I'm waiting for you with great anticipation, you're walking through the streets with my brother, are you having fun with him? Have you ever thought of me? ”

Ling Chan was silent.

"Do you like him? Even if he shoots an arrow at you at the gate of the palace, regardless of your safety and your life, he stomps your face on the ground? Even so, would you like to go out with him to see the lanterns? And even for this...... Broke his promise with me. ”

The proper etiquette that has been raised since childhood reminds you to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor all the time...... At this moment it was suddenly discarded by its owner.

When Taizhi walked in front of Ling Chan, he did not lift Ling Chan's curtain, but held Ling Chan's face through a thin gauze.

"I was really happy when I received your letter at the palace gate. I returned to the palace and retraced the mask you brought to me, what were you doing at that time? ”

The system screamed in her head, and Ling Chan was quite calm.

She took off the hood on her head, and the gauze between her cheeks and palms was removed little by little, and the cold cheeks and warm palms were intimately close together.

She saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of her, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who used to be high above and didn't put anything in his eyes, at this moment the phoenix eyes were red, his demeanor was completely lost, every word, and the vinegar was sparkling, "You also saw the look when you were on the platform just now?" ”

"That girl is my cousin, she coveted her family background when she was in Taiwan, her grandfather of the elders of the three dynasties, and that is the wife who is in his heart."

"You see, I left you here alone for her sake - even though you have shown your resistance to me."

"Your Highness......"

Ling Chan stretched out her hand and put it on Taizhi's face, and she said softly: "All this is my fault, Your Highness, please don't hurt yourself." ”

Taizhi opened his reddish phoenix eyes and looked at her silently, like a cold trial, and like a silent request.

"Your Highness in my eyes, a gentleman is upright, upright, and never lies to others behind his back...... Your Highness, Ling Chan is an orphan girl, she is not worthy of you. ”

Yu Taizhi said coldly, word by word: "Do you want to say this?" ”

Ling Chan was hit by his cold gaze, and seemed to tremble slightly.

Her long eyelashes twitched, and she burst into tears.

"It's all my fault. His Royal Highness King An invited me to ...... I can't say no. ”

A girl from a humble background, even her crying is weak and restrained and depressed.

The catharsis of sincerity was only for a moment, and then she put on an indestructible mask, got up and bowed, and said calmly: "Your Highness, Ah Chan water-based Yang Hua, Chao Qin Duchu, is not worthy of His Highness, please forget me." ”

The girl who bowed down in front of her was slender, and her curved waist was soft, like a flexible willow that would not be broken.

The prince clenched his fists, "Why me?" "Why am I the one who was rejected? Do you prefer King An? Even if he leaves you halfway?

These words are too ugly to ask, the gaffe just now is enough, Yu Taizhi took a deep breath and told himself that he had done enough, he had done enough for Ling Chan, don't let yourself look like a slave of feelings who wags his tail and begs for mercy......

"Don't you like me at all?"

That was the last sentence, he told himself.

On that day, in the back alley of the Lin Mansion, the smiling girl's eyes were blazing and bright...... He didn't believe it was all his own imagination.

"I like Your Highness."

Ling Chan raised her eyes to look at him, still the fierce and bright gaze in his memory, "I only like Your Highness." ”

"But I can't be with Your Highness."

Ling Chan's water-washed eyes became clearer, "I will only bring harm to His Highness, just like today, King An used me to make His Highness sad, and today he almost succeeded...... If I had kept in touch with His Highness, he would have succeeded. ”

"Ling Chan's identity is weak, anyone can drive me, and anyone can use me. But I don't want to be a sword for others to hurt His Highness. ”

"The conversation in the back alley that day, these days of exchanges, should not have been, but Your Highness's demeanor is clear, I yearn for it, I want to get close to Your Highness...... The greed of this time has caused the bitter fruit of today. ”

"I can't get any closer to Your Highness."

As he listened, his eyes lit up, he chuckled, and the demeanor of the past returned to him, "In your heart, am I so incompetent?" ”

Ling Chan panicked and wanted to explain, but Taizhi interrupted her unreasonably, "I was careless this time, but I promise you that there will be no next time." ”

"I will protect you well and will not let our feelings become a reason and excuse for anyone."

Tang Taizhi is a gentleman, with a subtle personality, accustomed to hiding and being clumsy, even if he likes Ling Chan, he never shows it directly, but this time, he endured his enthusiasm, took Ling Chan's hand through his sleeve, and said seriously: "I will ask my father to marry you!" ”

"You are not anyone's pawn, your fate is not in the hands of your parents' family!"

"Whoever wants to control you, I'll help you take it back."

"You belong only to yourself."
