"It's getting late, and the old minister should leave." Seeing that the sky outside the window was getting darker, Gu Xingzhi was about to get up and say goodbye.

"Why don't Master Gu stay in the Prince's Mansion for dinner?" Murong Sichen rushes to keep people before Chai Qingyue speaks.

Chai Qingyue also quickly echoed: "Yes, Uncle Gu doesn't have to be so polite. Why don't you stay in the Prince's Mansion for a dinner?"

Gu Xingzhi hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "No, I promised our old woman today that she would go back early, and it would be hard to explain if she was late."

When Chai Qingyue heard Gu Xingzhi mention his "Aunt Gu" and smiled relievedly, she smiled and said, "Then Qingyue won't leave Uncle Gu."

Looking back, he signaled Murong Sichen not to speak with his eyes, Chai Qingyue continued, "Then, Uncle Gu must leave soon, otherwise he would be cleaned up by Aunt Gu when he went home."

Chai Qingyue learned about her family's situation. In front of Murong Sichen, Gu Xingzhi didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he smiled heartily: "So forgive the old minister for being rude, so the old minister will say goodbye first."

Murong Sichen and Chai Qingyue, who received the prompt, sent Gu Xingzhi to the entrance of the study room, but were stopped by Gu Xingzhi: "Your Highness, Empress, stop. No need to send it away, the old minister can go back by himself."

"Okay, then Master Gu walked slowly."

"Uncle Gu walked slowly."

Murong Sichen and Chai Qingyue replied together, and Murong Sichen told He Ming to send Gu Xingzhi to Gu's mansion in person.

Seeing Gu Xingzhi walking away, Chai Qingyue turned around and explained to Murong Sichen: "Uncle Gu is actually famous for his "wife strict control". Uncle Gu is particularly afraid of Aunt Gu, so if Aunt Gu says he will return home before You hour, Uncle Gu will definitely not dare to get home at the moment of You hour."

"That's it." Murong Sichen nodded seriously, "But this statement has not been leaked in the capital, so I dare not know it."

"Puchi." Chai Qingyue laughed out again accidentally, "How could Uncle Gu let outsiders know? Moreover, in front of outsiders, Aunt Gu has always given Uncle Gu enough face, so naturally others will not see anything."

Murong Sichen nodded as usual and thought about it carefully. Seeing that Murong Sichen was thinking about things, Chai Qingyue couldn't say anything to disturb him, so she shut up and stood by waiting for Murong Sichen to speak.

But this scene fell in the eyes of Xiaoyu, who had just walked out of the side room, and it was another sarcasm that forced Xiaoyu to plan his next plan.

After a long time, Murong Sichen looked up at the sky, stretched his waist, lowered his body and climbed on Chai Qingyue's shoulder, attached it to Chai Qingyue's ear and said, "Qingyue is really my little lucky star."

Chai Qingyue blushed because of the heater that was scraped from her ears, and she gently pushed Murong Sichen's chest: "How could you joke with me?"

Murong Sichen smiled, and without saying a word, he took Chai Qingyue's hand and left: "Let's go, it's almost time to have dinner. Go to Yingxue Pavilion and let someone pass on the meal. I'm hungry."

"good."

Chai Qingyue felt that she didn’t seem to get along with Murong Sichen much recently, and it was a bit... a bit too... ambiguous, yes, ambiguous.

After shook his head and squeezed some messy thoughts out of his mind, Chai Qingyue then took up the chopsticks and had supper with peace of mind.

After dinner, Murong Sichen did not leave as usual. Seeing the maid busy for a while and after all the mistresses left, Murong Sichen spoke to Chai Qingyue, but he asked about the topic that had not been finished outside the study: "Qingyue, did you say before that Gu Ge "has "super strict wife"?"

"Yes." Chai Qingyue didn't know why Murong Sichen mentioned this again, so she answered honestly, "Uncle Gu, when he was young, he always loved to drink alcohol. Once, he drank too much, which hurt his spleen and almost lost his life. So, after that, Aunt Gu began to take care of him. It was from that time that Uncle Gu began to pay attention to health."

"That's it." Murong Sichen didn't expect that Gu Ge Lao would have such a past event and smiled, "So that's it. I was ignorant before."

Chai Qingyue smiled and said, "These are other people's housework. How can His Royal Highness be considered ignorant? I am also closer to Uncle Gu's house because of my father, so I know a little more."

Murong Sichen found that Chai Qingyue smiled a lot today, and her smile looked particularly good. Murong Sichen found that his heart seemed to jump particularly fast when Chai Qingyue smiled.

When Murong Sichen was looking for a while, he didn't know this, so he was called heart-tempered. Murong Sichen recalled when he started to like Chai Qingyue until he died, and then he remembered that he seemed to have fallen in love with Chai Qingyue for a long time ago, so long that he didn't know when he started.

"Qingyue, I'll ask you a question." Murong Sichen couldn't help but talk about this question that had been hidden in his heart for dinner, and began to raise the topic.

"Hmm?" Chai Qingyue turned her face, asked with a confused look on her face, raised her eyebrows.

Clearing his throat, Murong Sichen pretended to be reserved and asked: "Well, I, oh, no, I want to ask you, will you treat me like this in the future?"

"Where?" Chai Qingyue's heart kept beating, afraid that Murong Sichen's question would be the one he thought. If it was true, how would he answer it?

"Just... that's..." Murong Sichen began to hesitate and asked with a bumpy look, "That's right, will Qingyue treat me like Mrs. Gu in the future?"

Forget it, just embarrass it, Murong Sichen struggled powerlessly.

Sure enough, but Murong Sichen asked in a more subtle way. Chai Qingyue thought about it and found a more appropriate wording: "No, you are the crown prince, how dare anyone care about you? You should still be like Aunt Gu, no one dares."

It seems that Chai Qingyue does not fully understand what she means, but it is not embarrassing.

Murong Sichen thought so in his heart, but his disappointment was not reflected on his face. Murong Sichen spoke in a tone that was the same as usual: "Yes, I am the crown prince now, and I will be the emperor in the future. No one in the world dares to care about me."

Chai Qingyue smiled gently and began to remain silent. She didn't say anything else she was not sure about, for fear that Murong Sichen would see the clues.

Murong Sichen was very disappointed when he failed to get the answer he wanted. Although he tried his best to show it, Murong Sichen felt that he could no longer sit in Yingxue Pavilion, so he had to get up and say goodbye.

Chai Qingyue sent Murong Sichen away and sat on the soft collapse just now thinking, could it be that Murong Sichen...? He was shocked by his bold guess and broke out in a cold sweat, so Chai Qingyue had to stop thinking about it.
