Chapter 198 Sour
"If you really are an evil star, then I am the one who specifically fights against evil stars. We happen to be a perfect match, and we can't live without each other. Only you can help me."
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
Regardless of whether Shen Hechuan's words were true or not, the fact that she could hear them meant that he really cared about her, which made him feel somewhat relieved.
But she is not the kind of person who would dwell on these things.
After he finished speaking, he stood up and continued to go to Shou'an Palace.
Chen Hechuan also followed behind Gu Jingchun, saying that he also wanted to go to Shou'an Palace.
And he always wanted to hold her hand.
Gu Jingchun naturally refused to let him go. After all, there were complicated people in the palace, and she didn't want to become the target of public criticism now. She could only use her eyes to stop Shen Hechuan.
In the end, Chen Hechuan could only follow Gu Jingchun with a cold face and a bit unhappy.
That face was full of resentment, making people afraid to approach.
After arriving at Shou'an Palace, Gu Jingchun explained his purpose and then asked someone to pass the message on.
After a while, Nanny Li came out.
When she saw Gu Jingchun and was about to salute, she saw Shen Hechuan behind Gu Jingchun. She paused for a moment, and after saluting again, she said:
"Your Highness, Miss Gu, the Queen Mother has guests in her room right now. You..."
As she spoke, her tone hesitated a bit.
Gu Jingchun immediately noticed her abnormality, but Shen Hechuan asked directly: "Who is in there?"
Nanny Li then said, "Your Highness, it's Miss Situ."
After saying this, Shen Hechuan paused and didn't speak again.
Gu Jingchun snorted coldly and glanced at Chen Hechuan indifferently.
"Since Miss Situ is here, Your Highness should go in quickly. You can also take the opportunity to say a few words to Miss Situ!"
"Come to think of it, Miss Situ hasn't been here for a while. I guess Your Highness misses her."
Chen Hechuan: ...
He looked at the sky helplessly, then at the ground, then at Nanny Li, and finally at Gu Jingchun.
What happened out of the blue?
How should he explain it?
Nanny Li was also very embarrassed, so she smiled and explained softly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never been very close to Miss Situ. Miss Gu may have misunderstood."
Chen Hechuan nodded quickly and looked at Li Ma Ma with appreciation.
Gu Jingchun snorted coldly.
"If that's the case, then why doesn't Your Highness dare to go in?"
Chen Hechuan: "When did I dare not go in?"
As he said that, he lifted the door curtain and walked in regardless of Li Ma's obstruction.
In the room at this time.
Situ Mingji was sitting in the lower seat, his eyes constantly falling on Gu Jinxi who was beside the Queen Mother.
"This child is truly adorable. It's truly a blessing for him to be liked by you, the Queen Mother."
Situ Mingji had a smile on his face, but there was a hint of deep jealousy in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother glanced at Situ Mingji.
"That's because this child is lucky and well-born. He doesn't mind me being old and boring. It's a blessing for me to have him accompany me."
The Queen Mother's words were more than just a defense; she was clearly elevating Gu Jinxi to a position higher than her own.
This made Situ Mingji grit her teeth, and deep down in her heart there was a resentment that only she knew.
Why!
Is this old woman crazy?
He was just a kid from the countryside, and he didn't even know who his biological father was. How could the Queen Mother still praise him so highly?
She thought that Shen Hechuan might be protecting Gu Jingchun because she was pretty.
After all, he is a high-ranking official who has lived in the palace for a long time and has seen countless women. It is inevitable that he would be attracted to a country girl like Gu Jingchun.
After a long time, once the novelty wears off, they will definitely forget about Gu Jingchun.
However, she never expected that the Queen Mother would be so concerned about the child brought by Gu Jingchun.
This made her so angry that she could hardly maintain her expression.
It was at this time that Shen Hechuan walked in.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but smile when she saw Shen Hechuan coming over.
"Your Highness, you've arrived just in time. This child was just clamoring to go back. Why don't you take him back with you and let him rest. He's been too tired lately."
Chen Hechuan nodded, "He must be missing his mother. His mother is here today."
As he said this, he turned and looked behind him.
Behind him, Gu Jingchun just lifted the curtain and came in. After seeing Chen Hechuan, he glared at him fiercely, causing Chen Hechuan to chuckle.
After glaring, Gu Jingchun no longer looked at Chen Hechuan, and immediately stepped forward and knelt in front of the empress dowager to pay his respects.
The Queen Mother saw a moment of embarrassment on Gu Jingchun's face, and her gaze lingered on Situ Mingji for a moment. Only then did she let Gu Jingchun stand up and speak with a smile.
"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. The child was just crying that he missed his mother, and you came now, which saved the time of going back and forth to call him."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun turned to look at Gu Jinxi.
Gu Jinxi was standing beside the empress dowager. After seeing Gu Jingchun, she did not rush over as she did before.
Instead, she stood still, first looking at Gu Jingchun, then slowly stepped forward, stopping five steps away from Gu Jingchun, bowed, and finally raised her head, pouting and saying:
"Mother."
Gu Jingchun frowned when he saw that his once lively and active child had become like this in just a few days.
She took a step forward, held Gu Jinxi in her arms, and comforted her softly:
"What's wrong, Xi'er?"
"Are you unhappy because you haven't seen mother for too long?"
Gu Jingchun looked at Gu Jinxi, but Gu Jinxi slowly shook her head and buried herself in Gu Jingchun's arms, looking aggrieved, but not saying a word.
This made Gu Jingchun feel even more distressed. He held Gu Jinxi in his arms again, carefully comforted her with a few words, and then looked at the empress dowager.
"Your Highness, Xi'er must be a little tired. I'll take him back first and let him rest."
When the Queen Mother saw Gu Jinxi's expression, she understood what was going on, so she sighed and let them go.
Since they have entered the palace, this step is inevitable.
After all, the first step of this royal education is to free him from dependence on his mother.
It was normal for Gu Jinxi to feel uncomfortable at first, but after a while, she got used to it.
The same goes for Gu Jingchun.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother sighed.
When Chen Hechuan saw Gu Jingchun leaving, he wanted to leave as well, but was stopped by the empress dowager.
"Prince, please stay."
When Shen Hechuan heard this, he turned around and saw the Queen Mother saying:
"Miss Situ has been coming over here often to talk to me lately."
Shen Hechuan just listened to one sentence and turned around to leave.
Seeing this, Situ Mingji quickly stood up and said first, "This servant has been in the palace for a while today, and it's time to leave."
"Let's go back now. Your Highness, why don't you stay and talk to the Queen Mother?"
As she spoke, the Queen Mother also felt relieved.
