Since they were leaving the border tomorrow, there were still a lot of matters that needed to be handled by the Ministry of Public Affairs and the army, Prince Zhan was indeed quite busy that afternoon, forgetting the time when they were busy. It was almost time for dinner, so the Prince Zhan called for someone to place the food at the center of the lake.

"Prince, Miss said that because she didn't eat lunch, she was very hungry early in the afternoon. She only ate some pastries in the afternoon, and now she's not hungry anymore, so I don't need to wait for her." Liu Hong who went to the courtyard to call for his subordinates came to the center of the lake and reported respectfully to the Prince Zhan.

Hearing Liu Hong's words, the Prince Zhan frowned, obviously not in a good mood. The servants in the pavilion all noticed the unhappiness in Prince Zhan, and all lowered their heads with all their might, not daring to even breathe loudly.

"Put your food in Wan Er's yard." The Prince Zhan sighed, he seemed to feel that there was nothing he could do, and his expression eased up as he instructed the people under him.

On the other side of the courtyard, Nangong Waner was currently feeling extremely awkward. She deeply felt that she was unable to control her random thoughts, and at this critical juncture, she really couldn't maintain her composure in front of Chu Xiuhan.

However, she thought about it, then decided that Chu Xiuhan would go to the border tomorrow, and hid tonight. She did not need to hide, and thinking about it this way, she would naturally not be able to eat dinner with Chu Xiuhan.

Suddenly, sounds came from the other side of the yard, as more servants came to clean something up. Nangong Waner was curious, he threw away his drawing book and went to the courtyard to take a look.

"What are you doing?" Nangong Waner pulled a maid that was busy work and asked.

"Miss, Prince ordered for dinner to be placed in Miss's courtyard. The servants are currently packing the tables, chairs, and dishes from the pavilion." The maid who was being pulled said with a smile.

The servants of the Duke Palaces all knew Nangong Waner, and they all said that she was kind and didn't put on airs. As such, the servants of the Duke Palaces all liked her and speaking to her was very relaxed and at ease.

After Nangong Waner heard the servant's words, his eyes instantly became wide open, "Wh … What? Chu Xiuhan is coming to my courtyard to eat dinner? " Nangong Waner immediately turned and ran.

Nangong Waner looked up and saw Chu Xiuhan looking at him with a smile as he walked over. Nangong Waner felt that her heart, which she had settled down so easily, was starting to race again, so he hurriedly lowered his head and did not look at her.

"Wan Er, I haven't eaten anything for lunch. Dinner has to be good." With that, Prince Zhan pulled Nangong Waner to the side and sat down at the dining table. Prince Zhan did not care about what Nangong Waner was feeling uncomfortable with as he arranged a bowl of rice for Nangong Waner by himself.

"I don't like you, I don't like you" Nangong Waner kept saying to himself.

Nangong Waner seemed to be extremely focused as he watched the bowls in front of him pile up to the height of a small mountain. In order to make herself normal in front of Chu Xiuhan, she could only lower her head and look at the bowl in front of her, but didn't dare to raise her head to look at Chu Xiuhan.

Just like this, as Nangong Waner looked at the bowl, she kept brainwashing herself. She didn't like Chu Xiuhan, she didn't like Chu Xiuhan.

Prince Zhan looked at Nangong Waner for a long time but did not take a bite. He had thought that perhaps he was exhausted or scared to death in the morning, hence he did not have much appetite, but Prince Zhan felt that Wan Er was really strange. Ever since he entered the courtyard, Nangong Waner had not taken a proper look at him.

"Wan Er, you have lived in my house for a long time, there are many rumors in the outside world. It is normal for the empress dowager to want to meet you, so you don't have to worry about any burdens." Prince Zhan looked at Nangong Waner and said very carefully.

Without saying a word, he looked towards Prince Zhan and said slowly, "As for my plan to set out for the border tomorrow, I had originally planned to bring you along for a tour of the Green Spring Mountain today, and then tell you in detail. It's just that the empress dowager suddenly summoned us, disrupting my plans."

Hearing Chu Xiuhan's explanation, Nangong Waner's heart was suddenly moved. He could not help but let his imagination run wild, "What should I do if I like him?"

However, the matter of the engagement between the Prince Zhan and Qin Ruxue was not mentioned by the Prince Zhan in Nangong Waner's heart. However, he could not blame Prince Zhan, because there was no such thing in his heart, and Qin Ruxue had never publicly expressed his feelings, so how could a person with a cold personality like Prince Zhan care about rumours?

Nangong Waner, on the other hand, was preoccupied with this matter. He felt that the Prince Zhan was very troublesome to deal with. "I don't like you." As he thought of this, Nangong Waner's burning heart extinguished once again.

The Prince Zhan was very happy when he saw Nangong Waner finally move his chopsticks, and kept picking up the dishes for Nangong Waner. "If I'm not here, you should stay at the Duke Palace. Eat well and watch your stomach. Elder Xiu has already sent me a message that he will be back the day after tomorrow. Don't keep looking at the book. Your eyes can't stand it. "If I'm not by your side, you have to take good care of yourself!"

Nangong Waner saw that the rice bowl in front of him had only been eaten a few mouthfuls by him before Prince Zhan hurriedly added a few more chopsticks. After hearing a few more words from the Prince Zhan that were as trivial as possible, Nangong Waner felt his heart churning violently once more, and couldn't help but silently shed tears.

Prince Zhan thought that Nangong Waner only had the mentality of a child and couldn't bear to part with him. In order to make Nangong Waner happy, he took the initiative to pass a piece of his sleeves over.

Nangong Waner laughed and pulled Prince Zhan's sleeves to wipe his tears away. After he finished crying, he looked at Prince Zhan and laughed brilliantly.

Prince Zhan stayed in Nangong Waner's courtyard late into the night. He only planned to leave after Nangong Waner had fallen into a deep slumber and planned to go to sleep after Prince Zhan watched him climb into bed.

really felt like he was about to fall asleep, yet Prince Zhan stood under the bed and watched for a long time. Suddenly, he turned to Nangong Waner who was about to fall asleep and said, "Tomorrow, I will leave from the city gate. I will come to pick you up before it is time, you can send me out of the city gate."

Nangong Waner was still in a daze, but when he heard about the matters at the city gate, he instinctively rejected it, "No!" and fell asleep right after he turned around.

The Prince Zhan was not annoyed by his words. Smiling at Nangong Waner who was sleeping on the bed with his limbs spread out, he gently pulled out the blanket that Nangong Waner had kicked into a roll and wrapped it around his legs. After covering it up and tucking it up properly, he turned around and left satisfied.
