"I dare not." Gu Xiong immediately knelt down, "Crown Prince, Ninth Prince, this is not what I meant."
"Yes." The Fourth Prince Bei Mingye spoke at the same time, "The Crown Prince would not bother with a little girl, especially the cousin of the future Crown Princess. The old general is worrying too much."
Gu Shirong was wondering why everyone was speaking for Gu Changan. In the past, only his younger sister Gu Shijia had such an honor.
Seeing his grandfather's terrified face, he immediately knelt down and said, "Prince, this is my younger sister. I don't know the rules. I've embarrassed you...ah!"
Gu Shirong didn't finish his words. With a "ah" coming out of his mouth, he fell to the ground.
When he looked up again, his face was covered in dirt. The bird droppings that fell from above his head landed right on the tip of his nose and then on his lips.
"Pfft...Hahaha!" Gu Changan couldn't help laughing, "Brother, you look so...I can't help but be impressed."
Everyone couldn't help laughing at Gu Shirong's funny and unlucky look.
"Gu Shirong." The prince looked at the man who immediately got up from the ground. "I see, it's not your sister who makes me laugh, it's you who makes me laugh."
"Yes!" Gu Shirong looked embarrassed.
Gu Changan's eyes were bright and there was a brilliant smile on his face.
But she didn't know that her little action towards Gu Shirong just now was seen by Bei Mingxuan and the fourth prince Bei Ye.
Bei Mingxuan had a blank expression on his face, and glanced at Bei Mingye as if he hadn't noticed anything. As he expected, Gu Changan had successfully aroused the curiosity of the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince.
"General Gu," the prince said, but his eyes never left Gu Chang'an. "I happen to be free today, so I'll have lunch at your house at noon."
"Yes." Gu Xiong agreed happily. He knew clearly what the prince was up to.
If Changan is still the useless granddaughter, he doesn't mind what the prince has in mind towards Changan.
But in today's Chang'an, he didn't want to give such good resources to this incompetent prince. "It is an honor for me that the prince can dine in my house."
General Gu led the three princes to the front hall. "Chang'an, tell your father that the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Ninth Prince have arrived at the mansion. Tell him to come to the front hall."
Chang An understood that Gu Xiong wanted her to avoid the prince, and she was happy to leave. With a respectful look on her face, she agreed lightly. "Yes."
"Old General, Chang'an is Miss Sun of the General's Mansion. A servant can handle this kind of thing.
"Miss Chang'an, please come with me. Oh... and the future Fourth Prince's wife, it would be more lively if we could go together."
"Yes." Gu Xiong couldn't refuse.
"Prince, please forgive me." Gu Shirou refused. "Shirou wants to wait here for my elder sister to wake up. I hope Your Highness will grant me this."
The prince didn't care whether Gu Shirou was present or not. He was only interested in Gu Changan.
So the prince stopped talking and looked at the fourth prince Bei Ming Ye.
"Okay." Bei Mingye said, "When your elder sister wakes up, go to the front hall and report to the Crown Prince."
"Yes." Gu Shirou agreed, standing in the yard and watching the group leave.
But her eyes fell on the back of the ninth prince Bei Mingxuan.
It was an intuition. Bei Mingxuan always felt that someone was looking at him. He turned around subconsciously and his eyes met Gu Shirou's.
In the instant of collision, Gu Shirou's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if she was holding a little rabbit in her arms.
However, Bei Mingxuan had a calm expression and felt nothing at all.
He walked at the end of the group, keeping a distance from Chang'an, but sent a message to Gu Chang'an alone, "General Gu is thinking about you. You should find a way to get out."
Gu Changan didn't look back. She lowered her head, frowning slightly, and thought to herself, "Who lets me be the prince? Besides, if I don't come, how can you let this fisherman take advantage of it?"
Bei Mingxuan was surprised, the corners of his lips slightly raised and he said nothing else.
lobby.
The Crown Prince kept talking about Gu Chang'an. "Fourth brother, ninth brother. This Crown Prince is extremely curious about Miss Chang'an's appearance. Is this stunning beauty and the person people are talking about really the same person?"
As he spoke, his eyes turned to Gu Changan, "I wonder if Miss Changan can help this prince solve his doubts?"
"Chang'an has never set foot outside the General's Mansion." Gu Chang'an's face remained calm, her eyes slightly lowered. It wasn't that she didn't dare look at the Crown Prince, but rather that she didn't want to see his expression. "So, I wonder if the person the Crown Prince is talking about, the person people are talking about, is actually Chang'an."
Gu Changan's answer was flawless, with such an attitude and words.
Gu Xiong breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart. He found that Gu Changan at this moment really made him look at him differently.
"..." The Crown Prince was slightly stunned and turned to look at the Fourth and Ninth Princes. "Can you tell me what the rumors are out there?"
Bei Ming Ye looked at Bei Ming Xuan and said, "Ninth brother, among all the princes, you are the only one who walks closer to Gu Qingfeng. Haven't you discovered that Miss Chang'an is not as the rumors say?"
Bei Mingxuan had an innocent expression on his face, "Fourth brother, you are joking. To be honest, I really don't know.
Although he was closer to Gu Qingfeng, he only asked Gu Qingfeng for advice on chess and had never met Miss Chang'an.
Besides, when I saw Miss Chang'an at the general's mansion yesterday, she still had scars on her face, but now she looks completely different.
"I am still confused. As for the rumors outside... she is a piece of trash, black and ugly, unsightly, and has a female body for nothing."
"The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince were just in my cousin's room. Didn't they already know the whole story?" Chang'an looked puzzled. "Why are they asking now?"
"Just curious," the prince said, "Don't be surprised, Chang'an."
While talking.
Wan Xin walked from the side room carrying tea to Gu Changan's side and said softly and inconspicuously, "Miss, the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince were not invited by the First Prince. According to some clues our people have found..."
Gu Changan listened to Wanxin's words and glanced at Beimingxuan, "Beimingxuan, you are really a scheming guy, so calculating!"
Bei Mingxuan's heart tightened inexplicably. He subconsciously glanced at Gu Changan and found that she was looking at him with a puzzled expression.
That doubt, coupled with her clear and pure eyes, actually made him feel guilty.
"Ninth Prince," Gu Chang'an said softly, his tone full of confusion. "How can you say that? Chang'an, although I've never left the General's Mansion, but... if someone outside really spreads such bad things about Chang'an, you should at least say something fair for Chang'an!"
At least, considering that Chang'an's father often played chess with you, you should also say something that is not against your conscience."
