Shuang Hua originally did not want to go over to take a look at Third Young Miss.

Gu Mingyan loosened the corner of her clothes and said softly: "At least she's my half-sister. Even if I don't like her, I should still consider the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Seventh Prince's residence. If the sisters fight, if word of it gets out, I'm afraid the Seventh Prince might even cause trouble for me again."

It seemed that he had overestimated himself, Shuang Hua was helpless and could only watch as she walked past.

Gu Mingyan bent over and wiped the water droplets off Gu Zixi's clothes, not caring about her struggles.

He used a voice that only the two of them could hear and said, "If you don't want your father to punish you, then say that you fell into the lake while jumping, do you understand?"

The intention of the inquiry, but Gu Mingyan used too much force, had nearly squeezed Gu Zixi's wrist until it turned red and purple.

If one were to take a closer look, they would see that the juice had dyed all of his meridians.

Gu Zixi's body trembled so violently that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence. He held her in his embrace with a cold gaze, and with a sisterly pose, he pressed her into his embrace, gently stroking her back and ordered: "Third sister is scared, why don't you hurry and prepare the charcoal brazier and clean clothes? Aren't you afraid that your third sister will be affected by the cold? "

The servants by Gu Zixi's side rushed forward to welcome him, but Gu Mingyan did not let them go, and coldly said: "Hurry and go!"

The servants could only leave, and the palace eunuchs hurriedly tidied up the side hall. They then heard Gu Mingyan saying softly, "Little sister, it's true, next time if you want to give big sister a surprise, you should also be careful."

When those words were heard by the others, they only knew that it was a joke between the two sisters. They would not say that it was the opposite of a sister.

Shuang Hua, who was at the side, heard her words. He saw the small act of her poisoning him and the bruise on her wrist.

Raising the corners of her lips, she still walked forward to receive Gu Zixi, "It's still better to leave him in Shuang Hua's care."

It seems he heard it.

"Sorry for the trouble, Sister Shuang Hua." With that, he quietly stuffed a pill into Shuang Hua's hands.

This matter was left unsettled. No one wanted to stir up trouble at the winter feast, so they could only hide it.

Gu Zixi had already flown outside the sky with his consciousness, but Shuang Hua was surprised that his eldest miss was able to bring the poison into the palace. However, with the antidote in hand, it would not be too late to ask about it in the future.

Gu Mingyan didn't want to quietly wait by the lakeside, so he simply went to a pavilion and sat down.

A court lady then sent a gift, "It has frightened the young miss."

"It's all because of my sister's mischievousness. Please don't let this matter spread like wildfire. The Yu family's sister is at a disadvantage."

Gu Mingyan giggled at Yan Yan, he sat on the stone bench and used a handkerchief to wipe away the water stains, and quietly sat alone in the pavilion, staring blankly at the horizon, not knowing when the last snowfall would occur.

With some anticipation, and also some curiosity.

When Crown Prince Xiao Ze and Gu Ziyan arrived and saw such a beautiful scenery, they stopped in their tracks.

Gu Mingyan and Gu Ziyan were not blood relatives, so if one said that Gu Ziyan was a delicate and pretty beauty, then Gu Mingyan would say that she had an ethereal, ethereal, and misty aura. Today, wearing a pure white, shallow gold dress, and a belt that seemed like fire, made her slim waist look even more seductive.

Gu Ziyan originally thought that Gu Zixi had already gotten his hands on her, but seeing her sitting right there, he secretly clenched his teeth.

When he turned around, he found that the lustful Crown Prince was actually in a daze.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Ze regained his senses after calling out gently, and coughed a few times in embarrassment.

As he followed Gu Ziyan into the pavilion, Gu Mingyan stood up and bowed to the crown prince. Thinking that the crown prince did not seem to be on good terms with Xiao Qiran, his expression became indifferent, and only wore a polite smile as he poured a cup of hot tea and passed it to his side.

He didn't say anything. He rolled up his sleeves and poured himself a cup as well. It seemed that he was not going to talk to the Crown Prince.

Gu Ziyan could only let out two light coughs and said, "Your Highness seemed to want to take a walk beside the lake with Zi Yan?"

So today's goal had become the crown prince.

Gu Mingyan couldn't help but laugh. For the sake of power and position, he was willing to spend the rest of his life here.

If they were to say that it was the home of a commoner, they would have died if they didn't stand up. Or, it could also be said that they would have died if they didn't stand up for it.

However, the Prime Minister already possessed monstrous power. If he were to once again attach himself to the prince, then a queen would emerge in the future. Yet, he would similarly bear the responsibility for many of these princes' accomplishments, as well as the many problems that arose.

It would be better to be a diligent prime minister.

Just as she was thinking that the two of them could finally leave, she heard Xiao Ze say, "Dong Ri, why don't you sit in this pavilion?"

Why didn't he leave!

Gu Mingyan was extremely dissatisfied to be disturbed like this.

"In that case, I won't disturb my sister and Your Highness from your sitting."

If you won't leave, I'll leave.

"Hold on." Xiao Ze still called out to her: "On that day, I didn't say much to Eldest Miss in the evening court, and coincidentally Zi Yan is here today, so I might as well sit down and chat for a bit, so that I can agree to the reunion of the winter feast."

"In that case, I shall follow His Highness' wishes."

The corners of his mouth twitched, so Gu Mingyan could only sit back down, lowering his eyelids, touching the walls of the cup with his fingertips, he felt extremely awkward.

She did not know what to say to the crown prince, much less the fact that she had met him before when she was the Swallow Swordsmen. She was afraid that the more she saw, the greater her chances of being exposed would be.

"I heard that Miss Ming Yan grew up in the countryside. I wonder what kind of place she grew up in, to be able to raise her up to be so beautiful." Xiao Ze's voice could not help but carry a bit of gentleness.

Even though Gu Ziyan was impatient, he merely gave Gu Mingyan a silent glare.

Gu Mingyan then raised the corner of his mouth, and the shallow dimples of tears appeared. With a soft voice, he said: "I grew up in the Chen Village by the side of the Sunset Mountain, the village was big, and their families were separated by a distance, half of them were fishing for a living, while the other half were craftsmen, paper workers, embroidery mothers, hunters and butchers, all of them exist."

"Then, what skills does Miss Tsing Yan know?" Xiao Ze saw that Gu Mingyan's eyes were opened a little foolishly.

"Mingyan has been a fool since he was little, he can't learn anything."

Gu Mingyan laughed dryly a few times. Upon thinking about it, she only had some bad memories about the Sunset Mountain, not to mention learning how to cook, it was already good enough that she did not get thrown around like a stone or an egg.

There was no way to talk about this.

Xiao Ze was embarrassed for a moment, but Gu Ziyan said gently: "Big sister is shy, don't blame me, Your Highness."

Xiao Ze laughed dryly, but Gu Mingyan's eyes lit up, he seemed to be more lively.

Shuang Hua slowly walked over after taking care of Gu Zixi, but did not expect Xiao Ze to be here, and quickly bowed.

Seeing Shuang Hua, she heard Xiao Ze laugh coldly, "So Seventh Brother really valued Miss Ming Yan."

"Your Highness, you're right." Shuang Hua laughed lightly, he then stopped and stood behind Gu Mingyan and said: "Miss Zi Xi has already changed her clothes and taken a good rest, I am afraid that she has been frightened to the point of lying down for four hours."

Gu Ziyan immediately climbed up, and started crying, "But what happened to little sister Zi Xi?"

The corner of Gu Mingyan's eyes twitched, why did you learn to cry when you heard me cry?
