Li Bingchen?
Isn't that the Fifth Prince?
Which of the "legendary" least favored fifth princes was the child born by the daughter of the king and a minor official from Nanjiang due to an accident?
"Duo'er, you mean your little friend told you his name is Li Bingchen?" Gu Shaoyong looked at Yun Duo and asked as if to confirm.
“Yes.” Yun Duo nodded and said, “When we were in Qingping County, he told me that his name was Li Cheng. But tonight I saw him in the palace garden and he told me that his real name is Li Bingchen. However, he cannot tell others his real name when he is out in public. It is a rule set by his king father.”
He also said that he was the fifth prince of China.
"Then, what does he look like?" Gu Shaoyong still couldn't quite believe it and asked Yun Duo in a low voice.
"He's incredibly handsome! I've never seen such a good-looking child!" Yun Duo said earnestly, showing signs of being a bit of a fangirl. However, she quickly recovered, stuck out her tongue sheepishly, and then, feigning nonchalance, gave a brief description of Li Bingchen's appearance. She didn't mention to Gu Shaoyong that when she met Li Bingchen, he was fighting (or being beaten up) with Li Binghao.
We should always give pretty kids some face!
Listening to Yun Duo's description, Gu Shaoyong's face became more serious.
This really is the Fifth Prince.
As we mentioned before, Gu Shaoyong was a favorite of the king. In fact, he was also one of the king's confidants, so he was well aware that the king had different expectations for Li Bingchen than for the other princes.
In other words... this 'legendary' least favored little prince is very likely the heir apparent chosen by His Majesty the King—the Crown Prince.
They have an agreement with the King that a daughter of the Gu family can become the Crown Princess.
But... he didn't want his daughter to get involved in this mess.
Although it's a bit early to think about these things now, he actually knows that the Fifth Prince, despite not being favored by everyone, is actually very arrogant and doesn't mince words with anyone.
I wonder what his attitude is towards his daughter.
However, judging from his daughter's tone and expression, Gu Shaoyong guessed that things were probably still going well.
Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey...
How did they get to know each other?
And when my little girl talked about the Fifth Prince, she looked so happy and approving...
Gu Shaoyong felt a bit worried.
Zhou Huiyu, however, was happy.
Although Gu Shaoyong treated Zhou Huiyu very well and valued her more than himself, he was still mindful of boundaries and hadn't told Zhou Huiyu about these things.
Therefore, like most people, in Zhou Huiyu's mind, Li Bingchen is still that "legendary" neglected fifth prince.
Zhou Huiyu was happy not for any other reason than that her daughter finally had a friend.
She had lived in Changle Town for a while and knew that her daughter, while not exactly a loner, rarely played with other children. She had even secretly worried that Yunduo's lack of sociability might be psychological, and had even felt guilty about it.
But now, their daughter finally has her first friend—yes, until now, Yun Duo has only ever told them about Li Bingchen. Clearly, this is the first friend she truly acknowledges.
