Chapter 159: Crown Princess
At this moment, the atmosphere was just right. Chen Hechuan recalled the scene in the storybook that he and Gu Jinxi had read that day. He couldn't help but look at Gu Jingchun and slowly lowered his head.
Even Gu Jingchun, who was rational, was briefly confused by this dreamlike scene.
Therefore, she also raised her head, closed her eyes slightly, and prepared to respond to Shen Hechuan's actions.
Just when their lips were about to touch, Tianji's voice suddenly sounded outside.
"Your Highness."
Tianji gritted his teeth at this moment, wishing that Shen Hechuan could not hear his voice.
She was also afraid that Shen Hechuan couldn't hear her voice.
"Your Majesty asks you to come over."
After she finished speaking, she immediately took a step back, fearing that she would be affected by Shen Hechuan's anger.
After all, no one knew better than him how long his master had been preparing for this moment.
But now, Emperor Rongcheng's men are waiting outside.
No matter how brave he is, he wouldn't dare to hide it at this time!
So, I can only bite the bullet and come to disturb you...
At this moment, Chen Hechuan paused and prepared to continue.
But Gu Jingchun regained his senses, quickly stepped back, and pushed Shen Hechuan.
Chen Hechuan opened his eyes, and his eyes, which were originally full of affection, were instantly covered with coldness.
Hearing the increasingly anxious voices outside, Chen Hechuan didn't care about anything else. He gently comforted Gu Jingchun and then went forward to open the door.
When Chen Hechuan came out, Tianji shuddered when he saw his face change immediately.
"Your Highness, someone from His Majesty's side has sent for you to come over. We have been waiting for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Chen Hechuan's expression became even colder, and he whispered another instruction to Tianji.
"Put her in a good place."
Tianji nodded, and Chen Hechuan went out and followed him to Wanhe Hall.
At this time, Gu Jingchun was sitting alone in the hall.
This place was obviously carefully decorated by Chen Hechuan, and every place is extremely beautiful.
As long as she looked up, she seemed to see stars.
In the center of the hall, there is an extremely beautiful swing with various beautiful flowers tied on it, and fireflies flying around it, which is extremely beautiful.
Gu Jingchun sat on the swing and finally vaguely remembered that the layout here was very similar to the backyard of the inn.
That was Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan's favorite place.
Every night, they would lie on the roof together to watch the stars.
The swing in the backyard was also made for her by Shen Hechuan himself.
Whenever she sat on the swing, Chen Hechuan would consciously push her from behind.
He pushed her high up, scaring her so much that she trembled all over.
Then he held her in his arms and comforted her carefully.
And this comfort will accidentally soothe you to the bed.
At this moment, she sat on the swing, as if she had returned to the old days.
However, there was no one behind him pushing the swing.
Gu Jingchun didn't know how long he sat on the swing.
However, Chen Hechuan never came back.
Until, Tianji's voice was heard outside.
"Miss Gu, the banquet is about to begin."
After hearing this, Gu Jingchun came out of this dream-like hall.
As soon as she came out, she was blinded by the strong light.
When I opened my eyes again and saw the real scene, my wandering heart finally found its place.
When Gu Jingchun returned to the banquet again, the banquet had already begun.
Because of Gu Jingchun's identity, he can only sit in the corner at the back.
Because it was inconspicuous, Gu Jingchun's action of sitting down did not attract the attention of people around him.
As soon as she sat down, she heard discussions around her.
"Have you heard that His Majesty is going to choose a princess for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Gu Jingchun was feeling a little hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and wanted to eat something.
Hearing this, she paused and her face turned pale in an instant.
But it was just a smooth process.
Soon her movements returned to normal.
She put down her chopsticks, slowly picked up the tea and took a sip.
The conversation around me continues.
"Who else could it be? Of course it's the Chief Censor's daughter, Situ Mingji!"
"I heard that the Empress Dowager had a crush on Miss Situ, but I don't know why she delayed it."
"I didn't expect His Majesty to bring this up again."
"I heard that His Majesty had already asked the Chief Censor for his opinion yesterday, and now he's just waiting for the Crown Prince's approval."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Situ Mingji.
But Situ Mingji seemed not to see it, and still sat there dignifiedly with just the right smile on his lips.
Every gesture she makes is a model of a lady from an aristocratic family.
The conversation around Gu Jingchun continued.
"When I arrived just now, I saw the Crown Prince heading towards Wanhe Hall. I guess Your Majesty wants to talk to him about this matter."
"It seems that the Situ family's heyday is about to come."
"Tell me, is it too late for us to try to please Situ Mingji now?"
As everyone was talking, someone stared at Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun had just finished his tea when he heard a sharp voice.
"Gu Jingchun, what did you do just now?"
"Do you think you are still the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion?"
"As a commoner, it's already an honor for you to be able to attend this banquet. How dare you be absent without a reason? You simply don't take the Queen Mother and Concubine Hui seriously."
The person who spoke at this time was the woman in the yellow dress.
Her father worked under the Chief Censor Situ Qinghe, and usually flattered the weak and put down the powerful.
Now that she knows that Situ Mingji is the future Crown Princess, she immediately wants to help her deal with the beauties around the Crown Prince in order to please Situ Mingji.
Naturally, he would not miss the opportunity to deal with Gu Jingchun at this moment.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun glanced at her calmly before saying, "I wasn't absent. The Crown Prince had something important to discuss with me, so I was away for a moment."
Upon hearing this, the woman in yellow immediately chuckled.
"What a joke! You're just a widow. Why would the prince want to discuss something with you?"
"It seems to me that you relied on your good looks to deliberately seduce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun did not refute it for a while.
After all, what she said was right. Shen Hechuan did not discuss things with her, and she did seduce him.
If they hadn't been interrupted just now, who knows what they would have done!
When Gu Jingchun thought of this, his face turned slightly red, and it was hard not to think too much.
When this expression fell into the eyes of everyone, it immediately took on a few other meanings.
The woman in yellow was so angry that her face turned red.
"You...you are so shameless that you actually want to seduce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is an ordinary man that you can seduce casually?"
"Let me tell you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never been interested in women."
