The Gu Clan had been quite lively recently, so Gu Qingyi wasn't used to it.

However, as the owner, there were some things that couldn't be avoided, such as …

"Cousin, I've been rather busy these past few days and didn't have the time to congratulate you. This is a congratulatory gift that I've prepared for all of you." A faint smile hung on his face. In Xuanyuan Jing's hand was a jade ruyi. It could be seen that this jade ruyi was truly not bad. An old jade of good quality was impeccable in both color and shape.

However, Gu Qingyi did not really want it, "You're too polite. How can you accept such a precious gift? It's still okay, your highness."

She really did not want to have too much contact with Xuanyuan Jing. This kind of person seemed gentle on the surface, as if he was kind to all saints, but in reality, he was deep in thought. He had his own motives for everything. Don't think that she doesn't know that this jade ruyi isn't so easy to collect …

"Look at what my cousin is saying, don't even mention a ruyi, even the best cousin is worth it." Xuanyuan Jing didn't care about Gu Qingyi's rejection at all, he just passed the ruyi to the maidservant by her side. The maidservant had been troubled for a few days, but she didn't dare to refuse, so she could only hold onto the scalding jade ruyi and sullenly look at Gu Qingyi.

Wuu wuu, she really didn't do it on purpose, who knew that His Highness suffered so quickly?

It's just that this piece of jade doesn't look too bad. Since this kind of treasure was given by His Highness, why didn't the Miss accept it? The little girl's mind was going over and over again, but she didn't understand. It seemed that Miss had always disliked His Highness. Every time she came down, even though the young mistress had a smile on her face and it seemed as though nothing had changed, the truth was that after waiting by her side for a long time, she could tell that the young mistress wasn't happy at all.

"Alright, keep it. Since His Highness gave it to me, then I will just leave it to you and find a place to give it to you. Sooner or later, I will burn it to pay my respects." Gu Qingyi stealthily rolled her eyes. She didn't understand. The Xuanyuan Jing that she remembered was a very arrogant person. He had always been aloof and aloof, not putting anyone in his eyes. In his previous life, when he was with him, he had always been cautious, afraid that he would accidentally offend him.

But now …

Instead, he acted as if he couldn't understand his sarcasm and refusal. The more he mocked, the more he took heart from it. The more he rejected, the braver he moved forward. She suddenly felt as if she didn't understand this person before her. No, it was as if she had never understood this person before. A sense of powerlessness suddenly arose within her.

"Haha, cousin really knows how to joke around. Naughty." As if he didn't understand Gu Qingyi's sarcasm, Xuanyuan Jing did not get angry. Instead, he laughed heartily.

Gu Qingyi rolled her eyes as she felt powerless to retort in her heart. This kind of person …

How can there be such a person? Could it be that I don't understand my mockery? Really …

Fine, she wouldn't believe that he didn't understand her ridicule. What kind of person was he, Xuanyuan Jing? Without mentioning anything else, his brain was definitely sufficient. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him, who had so many corpses, to succeed in his previous life. If such a person wasn't smart, then there wouldn't be any smart people in this world.

It was enough to lose one's life in the hands of such a person. They would never be able to walk the same path in their entire lives.

"If Your Highness has nothing else, please head back. I'm a bit tired." Gu Qingyi was in a bad mood and she didn't want to waste any more time with this person. She felt uncomfortable looking at this kind of person. It was the first time that Gu Qingyi had issued the order to expel her guest.

All her life, she had been very careful. Although she knew that she should avoid a lot of people and things, she didn't want to do it too obviously and cause unnecessary trouble. After all, she had to be very careful in her current situation. Nowadays, his life wasn't in his hands. Sometimes, he could say something wrong and do something wrong that would bring about a disaster. For example …

He had always been very careful when it came to his marriage with Xuanyuan Lian. He even thought of luring Xuanyuan Lian onto Gu Huoyan, but in the end, he still hadn't been able to escape. There was a saying that goes' disaster falls from the sky '. She was a classic example! Thinking about it now, he was too naive. Because he was still young, he didn't have much fear. After all, he was only a child of eleven or twelve years old. He had never thought that these people would be so anxious. It seemed that he had been too careless. It seemed that he had to be extra careful in the future.

Of course, he believed that one of them was this Xuanyuan Jing. This person was too dangerous, he had to carefully keep his distance, otherwise …

No matter what, Xuanyuan Lian was still a pretty good choice. Although he was of the royal bloodline, there was still another layer separating them. As long as he was careful not to take the wrong spot in the future and live a peaceful life, it wouldn't be difficult. Although she didn't know much about Prince Lian and his wife, she could tell that Prince Lian's wife was at least a smart person. She should still be able to distinguish between right and wrong when it came to these matters.

"Why are you so polite, cousin? If cousin has anything to tell you, cousin will accompany you. " He didn't think much of Gu Qingyi chasing him away at all, but Xuanyuan Jing had actually gone along with it.

Instantly, Gu Qingyi felt a black line running down her face. Why did this person suddenly become so thick-skinned? Could this person not be Xuanyuan Jing? Looking at his shameless appearance, it was obvious that only Xuanyuan Lian could do it.

Waiting for Xuanyuan Jing, Gu Qingyi felt her jaw drop, "What happened to Your Highness today? Why did he say such strange words? Your Highness, you should go back earlier. I don't have anything here that needs your Highness' help. "

Since the other party was already so thick-skinned, then he would no longer be polite.

Anyway, the only thought she had right now was to stay away from Xuanyuan Jing. It would be best if she didn't see him again for the rest of her life.

It hadn't been easy for her to not see him for the past few days, but Gu Qingyi was still relieved. She thought to herself: Could it be that after getting engaged, Xuanyuan Jing suffered a blow and then gave up? However, before he could relax for two days, he actually … He actually came looking for him. Furthermore, from the looks of it, his skin seemed to be thicker than before. It was really hard for people to adapt to such shamelessness.

"Cousin, don't say such words. We are family. If you have any unhappy matters you can tell Cousin, I will definitely help you solve them." Xuanyuan Jing seemed to be addicted to it. The more he said it, the more it sounded like it.

Gu Qingyi didn't feel touched in the slightest when she saw his face full of the concern for his sister. Instead, she felt a chill run down her spine.

This feeling... It was as if he had suddenly met a venomous snake, and was smiling at him. This kind of smile didn't make people think that it was a friendly smile, but instead … On the contrary, it caused one to feel a chill all over their body, and it even made one feel as if... He felt like he could be eaten at any moment …

"Your Highness sure is funny, your status is noble, Qing Yi doesn't dare to reach up to you." Sneering coldly, Gu Qingyi did not want to talk to him anymore, so she stood up and said: "Qingyi is a little tired and wants to go back to her room to rest. Your Highness can do whatever you want."

Alright, if you don't want to leave, then I'll leave by myself.

Gu Qingyi quickly stood up and left without a look back, not caring about how Xuanyuan Jing shouted from behind.

"I heard that the temple came to our house today?"

In the evening, Gu Yinian, who hadn't seen any roads for a long time, returned home for the first time and even went to find Gu Qingyi by himself.

To be honest, in his previous life, plus his entire life, Gu Qingyi had spent very little time with him. Although he was a father, he was still a prince who led soldiers to war. In his eyes, families could never compare to his military camp.

He had been reborn in this life. Because of his own initiative, he had only interacted with him a few times, but that was limited to the usual interactions.

He's talking to me in private, that's just...

"En, yes, His Highness also gave her a jade ruyi. Originally, she didn't want to take it, but Her Highness directly gave it to the little girl." Gu Qingyi nodded. Without hiding anything, she told him everything.

She believed that since her father came to find her, it meant that she already knew. Since he already knew, there was no need for her to hide it anymore. But... It seems like the person who defeated you is still unclean. Today's matter is only known by the people in my courtyard, and my father rarely comes home … This sentence is always sentimental … How would he know if no one told him?

With a slight frown, Gu Qingyi lowered her head and bit her lips. Her mind went back and forth a hundred times.

It seemed that he needed to do a thorough check of the people around him once this matter was settled.

"En, since His Highness has given it to you, you can keep it. In any case, it's not something precious, so on a different day, Father will choose a gift for you and send it back." After a long time, Gu Yinian lightly nodded, as if he didn't care in the slightest. It was as if a jade ruyi was nothing more than a worthless item that was casually brought over by him …

Gu Qingyi's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know how much power the Gu King's Manor had, but she was very clear on one thing. The daily consumption rate of the Gu King's Manor was only average. She had always thought that the Gu family didn't have much money, which was why they were so thrifty. However, hearing her father's tone, it seemed that …

Eh, did I discover some incredible secret?

"Alright, you've grown up. The emperor's arranged marriage has also come down. Very soon, he'll get you engaged. You can be considered an adult now." "We have to be extra careful about these things in the future. Although we're relatives, we're still male outsiders, so it's still better to be a little more sparse." Gu Yinian was sitting at the side of the desk, his bony fingers lightly tapping on the table. He was frowning slightly, as if he were deep in thought.

Gu Qingyi stood obediently at the side. She didn't refute him and instead nodded her head obediently.

Fine, in truth, she was waiting for these words. She wished that her father would restrict Xuanyuan Jing from coming to find her. Of course, this sort of thing was impossible. After all, Xuanyuan Jing's identity was still there.

"Mm, in two days I'll find a master to teach you some martial arts. As a girl, some self-defense skills are also good." After a long time, Gu Yan Nian spoke again. This time around, he seemed to have thought it through.
