The weight on his shoulders was light, but the sound of his breathing carried a faint warmth as it wrapped around his neck and brushed past it.

The palace maid by his side tremblingly welcomed him and poured him another cup of fine wine, only to see that this Young Miss Prime Minister's Mansion had still been lazily resting her hand on his leg, tilting her body to the side as she descended.

Just as she was about to fall, Xiao Qiran would raise her hand and pull her into his embrace, while moving her head with her other hand.

He cast a cold glance at the palace maid who had yet to leave: "How long more do you want to see?"

"Your servant has been rude …"

The palace maid suddenly regained her senses and saw that Shuang Hua had already slowly walked over, half-kneeling by Xiao Qiran's side, and had no choice but to leave in a hurry.

When all the people around were sent away, Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince were still ridiculing the young miss for not knowing her manners, but hearing that Shuang Hua had used his inner force to disperse the inner Qi around her, causing people to not be able to listen, they said: "Your Highness, if you didn't allow me to bring the young miss to the side hall to rest."

"No need. She's just drunk. Today, she interrupted the plans of others. If she were to leave, I wonder if I would be able to save her."

Xiao Qiran looked around, he did not sense any danger.

With this said, it was hard to tell if he was being selfish or truly careful.

Shuang Hua also knew that her majesty wanted to know more about priorities, so she didn't say anymore and simply went around to Gu Mingyan's side and knelt down on the side, and used her other hand to pick her up: "You should change the position of the young miss, because tomorrow, my neck will hurt."

Xiao Qiran suddenly felt that Shuang Hua's hands were getting in the way.

Having received his own highness's eyes for no reason, Shuang Hua was still determined to pull her over, but who knew that it would awaken the drunk.

Gu Mingyan hugged Shuang Hua's waist with a reddened face and chuckled. "Sister Shuang Hua …"

The girl in his arms was so cute. Even the drunk girl was so mischievous and adorable.

Being hugged like this, Shuang Hua only felt that the girls' bodies were all soft and fragrant, and actually blushed.

At this moment, Xiao Qiran had already raised his hand to pull her into his embrace. Gu Mingyan's body slanted to the side and fell into Xiao Qiran's embrace as he gently laughed. He raised his hand to hug's waist, then simply sat down on his lap and nestled into his neck.

It seemed like he was hugging someone and calling them by their name.

Xiao Qiran's expression did not improve at all, he only coldly looked at Shuang Hua: "It is truly disrespectful of you to wait on me here, it would be better to wait at the side. If you find anything and report it to me."

"Shuang Hua understands." Shuang Hua left with a red face, but the soft touch of the incense had not left her body yet.

If Eldest Miss were to be with His Highness in the future and have a girl by her side, she would probably have such a soft and fragrant appearance.

However, they didn't know that Xiao Qiran had already treated his closest subordinate as a thorn in his eye, and only calmly pulled at the blanket for the person in his embrace, ignoring the scolding from the distance, as if saying that Gu Mingyan was just a young lady that hadn't even come out of the pavilion, and yet he had already thrown himself into the man's arms, was truly inappropriate.

But Xiao Qiran was too lazy to care about these things, he could only gently support her waist from the blanket.

This waist is too thin.

His body was too light.

Xiao Qiran was a little regretful that he had taken away her pastries, even if it meant eating some long meat.

The matter of the two of them hugging each other during the winter banquet was quickly treated as a topic of conversation.

Gu Zhiyuan watched from afar and thought that his eldest daughter, Yu Zhui, was quite knowledgeable in this aspect of enticing men and was actually able to eat his highness, the Seventh Prince, so he had a weird expression on his face. He found a place to leave his seat with his daughter Gu Ziyan and went to no one in the palace, making the eunuchs and maids wait at a corner.

"Today, you have also witnessed your elder sister's ability." Madam Liu stopped and looked painfully at his daughter before sighing softly, "Although you are prettier than your elder sister, and you are also more skilled in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, you are still more reasonable and reasonable than her. In the end, you are still a beauty in the mountains in the eyes of the masses, not comparable to her cute and lovable, making it difficult for your mother."

If it was in normal times, Madam Liu would naturally reprimand Gu Mingyan first.

Yet today, he was trying his best to persuade himself.

A trace of gloom flashed past Gu Ziyan's eyes, but on the surface, he was unsatisfied with his family members: "Mother, do you mean that I'm still not comparable to a Gu Mingyan?"

"Mom definitely does not mean that. I just have something to ask you."

Only now did Madam Liu realize that he had touched his daughter's anger, and immediately let out her voice, saying: "Can she be sad for you?"

"Last time, the girl was poisoned …"

Gu Mingyan has never bought the poisonous substance that you were infected with. Presumably, it is you who provoked Shuang Hua, who is next to His Highness the Seventh Prince.

The Madam Liu shook her head. Seeing Gu Ziyan's words, her expression immediately changed, and she quickly said: "Mother isn't speaking up for Gu Mingyan, but this matter is indeed fishy. On the other side, Mother thinks that you are sisters now, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, if we cooperate …."

"How can I work with a country girl?" Gu Ziyan's face changed, and his eyes became cold.

"Listen to mother explain in detail."

The Madam Liu could only briefly tell Gu Ziyan what they had discussed today.

If this matter could really be accomplished, then the hearts of these two sisters would indeed be able to shake the current situation.

After hearing that, Gu Ziyan became silent for a moment.

She could currently be considered one of the three great beauties of Shengan, but although her name sounded impressive, one of the three great beauties was actually a courtesan in a pavilion, which was why her name had changed.

Furthermore, she could be considered one of the Shengan's most talented girls. Furthermore, her family was high, so no one dared to get close to her.

As for the princes, most of them were high and mighty. Even if they liked it, they wouldn't personally come to propose marriage. It would be difficult for them to progress step by step with the princes.

However, if there was a medium like Gu Mingyan, he could use the name of the Seventh Prince to get to know the crown prince.

In addition, the inner court can help the mother of Madam Liu to raise her family, and on the surface, it can help her father stabilize his position as prime minister. When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, she will become a phoenix that soars through the nine heavens.

"But mother, Gu Mingyan is definitely not as simple as he looks."

Gu Ziyan had always felt that Gu Mingyan's intentions were different, the viciousness he displayed when he was dealing with others in the Academy was definitely not something ordinary people could compare to.

In addition, she did everything she wanted to do, but she also had a very obedient appearance. How could anyone believe that she had done so many things?

"I know, but today, I have also seen how deeply she loves His Highness the Seventh Prince. Do you know that His Highness' lower leg could be like this for the rest of his life? He won't be able to become the emperor in the future, and he won't be a hindrance to you either."

Madam Liu took a step forward and said seriously: "Don't even mention it, since we are on good terms with each other, it will only benefit you and me. In the future, Seventh Prince will bestow the title of Prince. My Zi Yan is a person who wants to become a phoenix.

Gu Ziyan clenched his teeth, but still agreed: "But I still have to observe for a few more days before I make my decision, my daughter will tolerate it."

"That's good." The Madam Liu smiled, "Take this opportunity to ask the Empress about some matters."
