Chapter 176: The White Lotus Cousin in Ancient Chinese Literature (5)

Cui Ling led the way, Su Yu followed closely beside him, and the eldest prince walked behind.

As I got closer, I could vaguely smell the cool and refreshing fragrance of pine and bamboo coming from my side, the same scent as the day I first arrived at Cui's house.

Su Yu couldn't help but look up at him. The man had a slender figure and walked with steady and dignified steps. He was as straight as a green bamboo or as tall and straight as a pine or cypress. Just standing next to him gave her an inexplicable sense of security.

Feeling her gaze, Cui Ling slightly turned his eyes to the side.

"What's wrong with me?"

Otherwise why keep looking at him?

Su Yu quickly shook her head: "No, no, I'm just a little curious."

"What are you curious about?"

Su Yu carefully observed his expression and said, "I'm curious why my cousin doesn't want to go over and appreciate the chrysanthemums."

If he wanted to go to appreciate the chrysanthemums, he would naturally not refuse to send her there, as it would be convenient for him to do so, unless he did not want to go there.

Su Yu guessed this in her heart.

She guessed right, but Cui Ling didn't know what to say.

The eldest prince came up to him, waving his broken jade fan, and said with a smile, "It's not that he doesn't want to go, it's that he doesn't dare to go."

"Don't dare to go?"

Su Yu looked puzzled and turned to look at the eldest prince.

However, he did not expect that the man would get so close that he almost bumped into his chest when he turned around. He could clearly see the patterns embroidered with gold thread on his clothes, which looked particularly noble.

A deep, magnetic voice sounded above her head and entered Su Yu's ears: "Han Zhang has a fiancée, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to get away if he meets her in the past."

That person was like a colorful peacock, releasing his charm all the time. Even in autumn he was still fanning himself with a fan, not afraid of freezing to death.

Su Yu suppressed the complaints in her heart, revealed a shy expression, blushed cheeks, and stepped back awkwardly, moving closer to Cui Ling.

"Cousin has a fiancée?"

Cui Ling interrupted their conversation with a slightly cold voice: "Your Highness, please be careful with your words. Han Zhang and Miss Lin are not engaged yet."

A girl's reputation is so important. If it were heard by someone with ulterior motives, it would not be a good thing for either him or Lin Jinse.

The eldest prince was not afraid at all: "Why are you so afraid of someone before you get engaged?"

He smiled and held out his hand to Su Yu: "Cousin, come over here. Miss Lin is very powerful. Be careful that she sees you and Han Zhang together and will kill you."

The eldest prince followed Cui Ling in calling her cousin. His attitude was so intimate and natural. He used the name of protection, and his words were humorous and not frivolous. The girl with a handsome appearance and a simple mind must have been moved a long time ago.

Su Yu blushed innocently.

Look, look, what a dedicated scapegoat. She hasn't done anything yet, but he rushes over. He is much better than the male protagonists in the previous world.

Just as Su Yu was about to speak, her arm was suddenly grabbed.

Cui Ling's voice was cold and warning: "Don't touch her."

These words were spoken to the eldest prince.

Su Yu was pulled to the other side by the arm for no apparent reason. Cui Ling walked between the two of them, using his body as a boundary to separate them.

Su Yu's eyes were timid and innocent: "Cousin?"

Cui Ling glanced at her and seemed to advise her: "He is not a good person."

He slandered the eldest prince in front of him and bluntly said that he was not a good person. It can be seen that Cui Ling was not afraid to confront him.

The eldest prince also knew this.

If he wanted to win over the Cui family, he couldn't fall out with Cui Ling. A dark light flashed in his eyes, and he joked nonchalantly: "Han Zhang, you are wrong. You can't discredit me just because I exposed your shortcomings."

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows at Su Yu: "Cousin, don't believe him."

Finally, he restrained himself and didn't come any closer.

Su Yu looked at Cui Ling, then at the eldest prince, then nodded timidly and walked quietly beside Cui Ling: "I will listen to my cousin."

Cui Ling's eyes softened and he seemed quite obedient.

The eldest prince was amused: "So I am an outsider, and you cousins ​​are teaming up to bully me?"

Cui Ling ignored him.

Su Yu quietly took a step back, poked her head out from behind Cui Ling, and blinked at him, looking playful and cute.

The eldest prince was slightly startled.

When he looked again, the woman had stood up straight and was following Cui Ling obediently, as if the scene she had just seen was just her imagination.

But the eldest prince knew clearly that it was not a fantasy.

It was a secret that belonged to them alone, a secret that was kept from Cui Hanzhang.

interesting.

The look he gave Su Yu suddenly became deep, filled with interest and a strong determination to win.

If I was just dazzled by the woman's appearance before, now I am really interested in her.

He is a prince. No matter how powerful the Cui family is, they still have to bow down to the royal family. Whoever he sets his eyes on, there is nothing he cannot get.

Su Yu suddenly felt a chill on her back.

It's like a small animal that senses danger but can't tell where the danger comes from, so it instinctively moves closer to the person it trusts the most.

Su Yu grabbed Cui Ling's sleeve again: "Cousin, I'm a little scared."

Cui Ling glanced sideways and asked silently.

Su Yu frowned slightly, her eyes confused: "I don't know either, it's just that my back suddenly felt cold, as if something was staring at me."

Cui Ling looked surprised, and then glanced at the eldest prince beside him.

Quite sharp.

As expected, the eldest prince had set his sights on her.

Cui Ling's eyes couldn't help but fall on Su Yu's face.

It is just as my mother said, too much color can easily bring trouble.

But this trouble was not something she wanted to bring upon herself, but something that came to her on her own initiative and she couldn't avoid it.

The eldest prince came here with him, so he should also be responsible for this disaster. Thinking of this, Cui Ling frowned and pondered, thinking about how to deal with it.

"I saw my cousin!" Su Yu suddenly spoke up, interrupting Cui Ling's thoughts.

Cui Ling looked up and indeed saw Cui Yue's figure. As expected, he also saw the figure in ice-blue clothes next to Cui Yue.

He paused and nodded gently: "In that case, go find Yue'er."

Su Yu nodded and bowed to Cui Ling: "Thank you, cousin, for sending me here."

Then, she turned to the direction of the eldest prince: "Thank you also..."

Su Yu was suddenly stuck and blinked blankly. Apparently, she had not thought of asking about this person's identity during the whole journey, and only realized it at this moment.

The eldest prince's mouth curled slightly.

Cui Ling glanced at him and introduced him briefly: "This is the eldest prince."

Su Yu opened her mouth slightly, startled, and stared at the eldest prince with a blank look, looking lively and interesting.

Seeing the reaction he wanted, the eldest prince laughed out loud, not concealing his love and covetousness for Su Yu.

He said meaningfully: "Don't be surprised, cousin. We will definitely see each other often in the future."

Su Yu blinked in panic, her eyelashes drooped, not daring to reply, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Your Highness, for sending me here."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away in a hurry.

Looking at her back, the eldest prince sneered: "You are so timid."

I don't know if it will be fun enough by then.

Cui Ling warned, "She is from my Cui family. I advise Your Highness not to have any ideas about her."

The eldest prince raised his eyebrows: "Why, she is just a cousin."

"Or does Han Zhang also like her?"

Cui Ling's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his voice became heavier: "Your Highness."

The eldest prince's face also turned cold.
