"!!" Jiayu was startled.

She didn't expect the prince to come. In the past, the prince had a good relationship with her, but the eldest brother was influenced by Princess Ping and didn't like the prince very much.Although Jiayu and him were on good terms, but because they had been in contact with the crown prince a lot, the elder brother kept nagging, so the two of them were either in Prince Ping's mansion or outside the mansion, and never brought the crown prince to Shen's house.

"The crown prince came here in a humble suit. He didn't enter through the gate. No one knew about it. He only said that he had something to see the young lady." Seeing that Jiayu's expression was not very good, the housekeeper hurriedly added.

Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then where is he?"

The four corners of the small pavilion next to the pond are carved with auspicious birds spreading their wings, and the red-painted columns stand upright, and the plain white shrimp whisker curtains that hang down gently swing with the wind.

Jiayu wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, straightened her skirt, and then walked towards the small pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Lifting the bead curtain, she drew back her knees and prepared to salute, but before bending over, the young man with his back turned took a step back suddenly, leaning slightly to the right.

The prince is tall, and Jiayu is not short among girls, but he is still half a head taller than her, and his lips just reach her hair.

He leaned to the right, Jiayu subconsciously stretched out her hand to hold him, the two of them were slightly wrong, and his back was facing her again, the strong right back bumped into the soft part of her left breast by chance.

Jiayu's whole body trembled suddenly, and she gritted her teeth to keep herself from making a sound.This feeling is far more intense than that day, and all the sharp touches are concentrated in a certain point, which is far more disconcerting than the magnification of countless points.

However, the prince didn't seem to notice their gaffe, he just tried his best to stand up straight, and pressed his forehead to smack.

When Jiayu saw her, she didn't care about being shy anymore, and asked worriedly, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

The prince stabilized his body and turned his head back, waving his hands lightly at Jiayu: "It's nothing serious, it's just that, it's not completely resolved, it's affecting the body, just standing for a long time, so it's just a little unstable, did you bump into my cousin?"

He had a radiant face, frank and upright, Jiayu thought it was just an accident, she shook her head and said no.

But he whispered again: "Since Your Highness is not in good health, you should recuperate in the Eastern Palace. Why did you come here today?"

The prince's eyes fell on the red sapphire dripping bead and phoenix-headed golden step in her thick hair, and the darkness in his eyes flashed: "I came to see you, you are better, have you used yesterday's medicine?"?”

"It's much better." Jiayu tried to make her look calmer.

The prince's eyes fell on her red earlobe, which was round and small, and now it was stained with pink, like the juice made of crabapple flowers, which had been smeared carefully.It really made him want to put it between his lips and teeth, lick and bite gently.

"That's good." The prince said softly.

Jiayu's eyes were fixed on the sparkling water on the lake, her slender fingers were tightly clenched on a piece of her cuff, she said hesitantly: "Your Highness has a lot to do every day, so don't worry about such small things."

The prince listened and said something softly.

But his voice was too low, Jiayu couldn't hear clearly, so he asked softly, "What did Your Highness say?"

He shook his head, said nothing, then opened the small fragrant nanmu box carved with yarrow patterns on the stone table, and said with a smile: "These are some jewelry that Gu picked out from the warehouse, do you like it, cousin?"

Jiayu's gaze followed, and the prince's palm was broad. He took out the exquisitely crafted small boxes from the fragrant nanmu box, and opened them one by one in front of Jiayu's eyes.

Pearl tendril hairpins at cloud feet, jade-inlaid ruby hairpins, red gold pearl earrings, and silver silk double-button bracelets, all are exquisite and ingenious, unlike ordinary things in the world.

Jiayu originally liked the hairpin she bought today, but when she saw the jewelry in front of her, she suddenly felt that if she put that hairpin in, it would feel ashamed.

She moved her eyes away from them, bit her lips lightly and said: "Your Highness, these things are too expensive, and my servants cannot accept them."

When they were young, they had a good relationship, and they would give each other gifts during the festivals, but at that time he was a poor little prince in the palace who didn't love his father or mother, and what he gave was only novel but worthless things.

But today, each of these things is extremely precious and of high value.

She doesn't accept his things, but she enjoys Zuo Hengming's!

God knows, as long as he thinks that she used to be the wife of Prince Ping's son, he would like to kill him.

The prince's expression didn't change at all, he said:

"Since my cousin doesn't like it, Gu will go back to the treasury to pick one. I will be able to pick out something my cousin is satisfied with, and then send it over."

"!!!???" Jiayu was stunned, she clearly didn't mean that.

"Your Highness, the servant girl is saying..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted straight away: "Cousin, your kindness to Gu can be repaid with a few jewelry, why do you have to be so alien to me."

Now Jiayu can't hear him talking about kindness, because it means constantly reminding him of the absurdity of the mess between him and her.

She raised her eyes and glanced at him, only to see the prince's eyes were fixed and his expression was persistent, Jiayu was silent: "I accept it, thank you Your Highness."

He listened, showing a happy smile as it should be.The prince is not very old, only nineteen years old, but he has been calm and introverted since he was a child, especially now that he has become a prince, he is even more restrained. Jiayu hasn't seen him smile like this for a long time, and she couldn't help but lose her mind.

She likes good-looking things, not just clothes and jewelry, but also maids and servants, sisters and friends, she likes to associate with good-looking people.She looks good, even if she does something wrong, she can hold a boat in the prime minister's belly.

However, Jiayu thinks that she is used to beauties, but now seeing the smile of the prince when she grows up, Jiayu suddenly feels that the beauties in the past were all vulgar and vulgar.

"What is my cousin looking at?" the prince asked with a smile.

His tone and demeanor are extremely normal, but if there is a counselor who is proficient in people's hearts, he will be able to detect the temptation to confuse people's hearts in every frown and smile of the young man.

Let you obediently obey, let you follow obediently.

"You look good." Jiayu blurted out.

After the words fell, she finally came to her senses and realized that she had lost her composure. She covered her lips and laughed dryly twice.

"My cousin is also pretty, but she will look even better with this hairpin." Just as she was not sure what to do, Jiayu only heard this sentence, and then the boy's warm breath sprayed on the top of her head.

The prince coldly took out the red sapphire dripping bead and phoenix head from Jiayu's bun with golden steps, and then inserted the hairpin he brought into her bun bit by bit, and gently passed the person today with his palm.With the top of her rubbed hair, her eyes are gloomy and deep.

"This hairpin is suitable for my cousin." His tone was as gentle as possible.

Jiayu didn't dare to move, he was too close, all the ambergris on his body diffused into her nose.It made her have to recall that in the bed yesterday, he approached everywhere.

Thinking of this, she took a quick step back.

Seeing her losing her composure, which she was trying to suppress, the prince curled his lower lip.She is timid, so she has to simmer slowly on a low fire, so she can't be frightened.

So he changed the subject in a gentle voice: "Gu Ji's cousin is weak and sick. Besides these jewellery, someone sent me some ginseng and deer antler just now. Cousin remember to let my cousin take it."

Speaking of which, the crown prince used to be the second son of Prince Ping, and Princess Ping and Mother Shen were cousins, so it was no problem for him to call her auntie, but now he has passed under His Majesty's knees, and even Princess Ping, the birth mother, can only be called an aunt, this cousin and the cousin he called are also inappropriate.

But after all, there is some warmth in his heart. Whether it is the short, black and thin poor son in the palace back then, or the future emperor with great power, he is still in his heart and attitude towards his weak cousin who is not helpful to him.Nothing has changed.

Jiayu said: "My mother is in good health, and she is now worshiping the Buddha at the White Horse Temple, thank you Your Highness for your concern."

The prince hummed lightly, he didn't care whether his cousin was healthy or sick, but she was just an eyesore.

But he thought about it day and night to get the girl in front of him, in order to please her, he didn't mind putting on an appearance she liked.

"Since that's the case, I won't bother you any more."

Seeing that he was finally leaving, Jiayu got up to see him off.I was relieved.In the past, she regarded him as her own younger brother, and she never felt bad when they often communicated with each other, but now that something like that happened between the two of them, it is very difficult for Jiayu to continue to face him calmly.

Although she was a bit reluctant, she felt that it would be better for the two of them not to have any contact with each other except for doing that thing again in the future.

It's just that half of the talent was given away, so Mother Chen hurried to find him. After saluting the prince, she whispered: "Girl, Prince Ping's concubine is here, and she wants to see you at the side door."

Jiayu was stunned for a moment, why did Xue Xiuxiu come, she just met her husband by chance today, she came to the door in the afternoon, but this timing is really unlucky.

The crown prince was about to go out, but she was at the door. If she went straight, the two of them would definitely run into each other.Thinking of this, she bit her lip and looked at Prince Zuo embarrassedly: "Your Highness, my servant first ask someone to push her away."

As soon as the words were finished, Jiayu turned her head and told Nanny Chen to ask her to wait in the flower hall.

The prince frowned after hearing this: "Are you going to see her?"

Jiayu hummed.

Hearing this, he looked a little hesitant: "She and Zuo Hengming treat you like this, since that's the case, why should you give her face."

His face was full of concern for her, and Jiayu suddenly remembered that when she reconciled with Prince Ping's son, he said angrily that he would clean up the team of people who had done her wrong for her.

Obviously Prince Ping's son is the elder brother of his one-mother compatriot, but he looks like a raging little beast, and he wholeheartedly wants to stand up for her.

But now he is the crown prince, his every move is under the supervision of all the officials, he can't be as casual as before, thinking of this, Jiayu said: "Your Highness, that is all in the past, I don't care anymore."

He listened, and his expression seemed a little weird: "You don't care anymore?"

Jiayu didn't realize the deep meaning in his words, she only thought that he wouldn't be as angry as before, looking for someone to settle accounts.

"I didn't care at all. I have nothing to do with Prince Heping. It's actually a good thing to reconcile early and not delay each other's time."

Her tone was calm and sincere, and the prince stared at her, trying to find her current attitude towards him from her calm tone.

She smiled at Yan Yan, and when she mentioned the words Prince Ping, it was the familiar tone of an old man.

The crown prince suddenly felt a sense of regret, his methods were still too gentle back then, it was right for those two people to engrave a heavy mark on Jiayu's heart, and treat them as strangers who do not communicate with each other from now on.

Of course, you can't keep love, and you can't keep hatred either. Her love, her hate, all her feelings, except for him, he is stingy to share with anyone.

"Okay, then it's up to you, but if someone dares to apologize to you, remember that Gu will always protect you." He said softly.

Jiayu looked at him, her heart warmed, if such a good prince hadn't been poisoned, and there was no need for them to do that kind of thing, she really couldn't bear to draw a line with him.

Today's Prince Ping's concubine is called Xue Xiuxiu, her father is a servant of the Ministry of Industry, and her grandfather was originally Tian Shelang, but his father is well educated, once he won the list, he changed his family.

Of course, Jiayu doesn't care about her background, what she cares about is that she was once her close friend in the boudoir.

I haven't seen her in the past two years, and Jiayu hasn't seen her face yet. She only looks at her back in the flower hall, and can't help but sigh, she is still very attractive, so pitiful, I feel pity.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Prince Ping's concubine turned her head abruptly, moved her lips a few times, and then said, "Jiayu, you, are you okay?"

It was exactly the same as her husband's question, Jiayu nodded after listening, "I'm fine."

Princess Ping bit her lip, she looked at Jiayu, she didn't expect her to be so calm, her eyes fell on her face, trying to find a little bit of discomfort from her face.

Jiayu didn't like being watched like this, especially when this person was Prince Ping's concubine, so she immediately said, "If you're fine, go back."

She didn't want to see her just now, but if she didn't see her, it would be even more troublesome if Princess Ping would come to the Hou's mansion all the time.

Holding the hem of her skirt with her hands, Xue Xiuxiu took two deep breaths: "It's nothing serious, I just heard that you came back from Jiangnan, I miss you in my heart, so I wanted to come and see you, now that you are fine, I am relieved.”

While talking, she looked at Jiayu, watched her expression, and carefully chose her words.

She looked like she was walking on thin ice, and Jiayu felt a little emotional.

She remembered that she was not fierce, so why did she act cautiously that she wanted to eat her.

"Is there anything else?" Jiayu didn't want to continue talking about this embarrassing past with her.

Xue Xiuxiu said cautiously: "Jiayu, I'm here to apologize, Hengming and I..."

Before she finished speaking, Jiayu quickly interrupted her: "This matter is over, don't bring it up again." After speaking, she saw the expression of Prince Ping and Princess Concubine, and paused, "What's more, I met the eldest daughter today.Cousin, he and I don't care about it anymore, so you don't have to keep thinking about it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Xiuxiu suddenly said loudly: "You went to see him today, when, why didn't you tell me?"

Jiayu almost rolled her eyes: "It's not that we met on purpose, but by chance."

At the end of the sentence, Princess Ping seemed to realize that she had lost her composure, and she carefully grabbed Jiayu's arm and said, "Then Jiayu, what do you mean, are we still good sisters?"

Jiayu had a headache.

She looked at her, wondering how she could say such a thing.

Be good sisters with your husband's ex-wife.

She laughed dryly, took her hand away, and said lightly, "You can do whatever you want."

In fact, Heli did not have much impact on Jiayu herself. She did not feel too sad when she left Prince Ping's son, but a sense of relief that should have been so long ago.

Moreover, in the first half year of their marriage, their relationship was no different from the relationship between their cousins before. In fact, she never regarded him as a husband in her heart. If she could continue to maintain the superficial peace, Jiayu would not mind having this cousin.

It was only when she saw Princess Ping and Prince Ping that she realized that the two of them plus Prince Ping were a messy account. No matter whether this account is bad or good, it has now been bound into a book.to turn it on again.

Princess Ping heard this answer, her eyes dimmed and she asked, "Jiayu, do you still blame me and Hengming?"

Jiayu once thought about her question when she was bored. Prince Ping has treated her very well since he was a child.This wife, except that he has a woman he loves deeply.

At first, she thought that it would be good to live like that, and it could be regarded as respecting each other as guests, but she didn't realize it. Half a year later, she saw her husband and his best friend rolling together.

She didn't want to be the villain who cut off the mandarin duck, and she didn't want to stay alone in the empty room for the rest of her life, so the next reconciliation was logical.

"Jiayu, I know he is your husband. At that time, I just wanted to visit him and persuade him to forget me and live with you. I didn't expect him to be drunk. Jiayu, I'm sorry." Prince PingThe concubine said excitedly, her eyes began to turn red.

Jiayu waited quietly for her to finish, then took a brocade handkerchief and handed it to her: "I know, I know you are sorry for me, so can I go back now?"

Princess Ping, who was crying, widened her eyes in disbelief when she heard the words.

Jiayu yawned: "I'm sleepy and want to take a nap, so I won't see you off in person, Nanny Chen, take Shi Zifei out."

Prince Concubine Ping only said a few words when she was full of words, and she was blocked back like this. When she regained her strength and wanted to open her lips again, her maid hurriedly ran in.

"Concubine Shizi, it's not good, Shizi's left hand is broken."

After Jiayu heard this, her drowsiness ceased immediately. Why did Prince Ping lose his left hand?When he rubbed her hair with his left hand today, it was very raw.
