Wei Hanzhang lowered his eyes to avoid his gaze and whispered, "So, who is standing in front of me now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or Xiao Boqian?"

In order to keep cool, she did not wear any outer clothes in the room. She only wore a thin smoky pink summer dress, with her arms half exposed and her long hair simply tied up with a hairpin.

Now, she was standing in a room with open windows on three sides. The summer breeze came in from the window and blew her skirt. She lowered her head, her profile was quiet and beautiful, and the girl's gentle charm was inadvertently revealed.

From Xiao Junzhan's height, her slender neck could be vaguely seen...

His eyes trembled slightly, his gaze fixed on it, his Adam's apple slid slowly, and he said: "In front of Ran Ran, I will always be Xiao Boqian."

Wei Hanzhang was completely unaware of his gaze. He turned his head and said, "Since you are Xiao Boqian, I will be frank. I have always hated being lied to since I was a child. You have been treating me like a fool for these days. Shouldn't I be angry?"

Gu Yunran had taken two concubines without her knowledge. When she asked him about it, he knew she would be angry, but he still told her the truth because he knew that Wei Hanzhang hated being deceived the most, especially by people close to her.

He is the prince, so she naturally has to be respectful to him, but since he said he was Xiao Boqian, she would definitely be angry.

How can I not be angry when I was deceived and fell in love?

Wei Hanzhang felt angry, sad and depressed.

She didn't understand her own psychological reaction, but she knew she was feeling bad, and of course she couldn't smile at him.

The girl's angry look was very lively and vivid. She didn't look angry at all. In Xiao Junzhan's eyes, it was no different from acting coquettishly.

He was so soft in his heart that he coaxed her softly from the bottom of his heart: "I was indeed careless about this matter. How can Ranran not be angry? I promise that I will never lie to you again in the future, okay?"

"Not good," Wei Hanzhang said calmly, "Do you know what I was thinking when I found out you were the Crown Prince?"

"I was thinking, what virtue do I have to ask you, a prince, to stay in the minister's courtyard every day, using someone else's name to tease me."

Teasing her is like teasing a toy, and watching her call you "Prince" all the time, isn't it interesting?

Well, Wei Hanzhang actually knew that this might not be what he really meant, but she was just angry.

How could this happen? She was completely fooled.

The most infuriating thing was that she was actually deceived by him and fell in love with him! This was what annoyed her the most! He hadn't even revealed his identity, but she was foolishly tempted by him, like a fool.

It feels bad to be cheated, and the more she trusts him, the worse it feels.

Wei Hanzhang lowered his head, feeling inexplicably aggrieved and his nose sour, "You broke into my yard, forced me to open the door, and flirted with me."

It's not enough to hug her, he even wanted to kiss her just now! Even if you are the prince, you can't just break into a girl's boudoir and hug her!

Isn't it humiliating to treat a girl who is still waiting to be married like this?

She lowered her head, tears welled up from her eyes and dripped onto the ground, making people panic-stricken for a moment.

Xiao Junzhan couldn't hold back any longer, and led her over with one hand, raised his other hand, and gently wiped her tears: "Ranran, don't cry, I asked someone to inquire about you, and I know that there is no one else here, so I came here."

His movements were so gentle that Wei Hanzhang couldn't help but sniffle.

"As for flirting with you..." Looking at the stubborn look of the girl in front of him, Xiao Junzhan's eyes were filled with emotion. After a pause, he said, "I just couldn't help myself."

Although he spoke sincerely, Wei Hanzhang couldn't help but glare at him angrily.

It's 'can't help feeling' again, he always uses the name of 'can't help feeling' to flirt with girls.

Feeling a little uncomfortable with her stare, Xiao Junzhan lowered his eyes to avoid her sight, coughed lightly, and changed the subject: "I was going to confess my identity to you two days ago, and it happened that your maid called you back. Ranran, do you still remember?"

Wei Hanzhang didn't say anything.

Now, of course, whatever he says is what it means. If she hadn't caught him, who knows when he would confess.

"It's true that I like you and want to marry you. I understand that you are angry now. I will wait until you calm down before asking you again." Xiao Junzhan held her hand and said softly, "As long as Ranran nods, the candidate for the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace will be you."

Wei Hanzhang was unmoved, and gently broke free of his hand, saying, "Your Highness, can you leave now?"

Why is the girl he likes so hot-tempered?

After coaxing for so long, it still didn't work. Xiao Junzhan felt helpless and took off the black jade that he had given away twice and said, "This jade was given by the Emperor Gaozu. I have worn it for many years and it has become a token of trust. If I come in person, I can mobilize the Eastern Palace Guards and the Imperial Guards of the Capital. Will you accept it?"

Wei Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, then refused outright: "This item is so valuable, Your Highness should keep it for yourself."

"...Actually, it has another use." Xiao Junzhan leaned closer and smiled softly, "Didn't you ask me for a jade pendant? How about this one?"

“Not so good!” Wei Hanzhang took two steps back and said seriously, “I don’t want it!”

After being rejected again and again, Xiao Junzhan's eyes, which were bright enough to dazzle people, flashed a dark color. He stared at her for a long time before sighing, "It's my fault. I had to pick a time when Ranran was upset to send her something."

Wei Hanzhang lowered his eyes and didn't look at him: "You have stayed here for too long, please go back."

…………

After Wei Hanzhang opened the door and let Xiao Junzhan in, Ning Hai's tension in his heart was immediately relieved. He leaned against the entrance of the corridor, enjoying the cool breeze while talking to Luzhu and Lulan.

Being able to become the prince's attendant eunuch, Ning Hai naturally had a very versatile mind. He behaved extremely easy-going, and while chatting and laughing with the two maids Wei Hanzhang, he had found out almost all the information they wanted to know indirectly.

He knew almost everything about Miss Wei's temperament, preferences, what she was worried about recently, and whether she was tossing and turning and crying secretly because of the broken engagement with the Gu family.

He smiled complacently in his heart, and thought to himself that these two girls had no vigilance at all. They would have to be properly disciplined when they entered the Eastern Palace in the future, so as not to be easily tricked by others.

His Highness has been a widow for twenty-five years before a girl from the Wei family appeared and moved his heart. He thought that it would not be long before the girl from the Wei family would enter the Eastern Palace and become the Crown Princess and the future Queen.

Those who serve her must be extremely careful.

Just as he was worrying about what would happen in the future, he saw his prince coming out of the room of the girl from the Ziwei family. Ning Hai looked at her expression and was suddenly startled.

Why...it doesn't look like they've reconciled? Xiao Junzhan's face was as gloomy as water. He stood in front of the closed door for a while before turning around and leaving with Ning Hai.
