Lin Jie was depressed for the whole afternoon.

He had been holding his chin all afternoon with his cheeks puffed out and his eyes wide open, as if someone owed him a lot of money.

Liu Ziqing was unable to continue looking, so he knocked on the table beside Lin Jie.

"What?"

Hearing the voice, Lin Jie's eyes moved, and he looked at Liu Ziqing.

"Is crown princess listening?"

Liu Ziqing frowned.

"I'm listening."

Lin Jie snorted, but he did not look like he was attending a lecture.

"…"

Liu Ziqing was a little helpless against Lin Jie.

"Don't worry young master liu, I will listen to the lesson seriously."

Lin Jie sighed, put down his hand that was supporting his chin, and said.

Liu Ziqing nodded.

"As for now, I have already made an appointment with Gu Yan. When the time comes, it will be all up to you, young master liu!"

Lin Jie said with a smile.

Hearing that, Liu Ziqing could not help but blush, he lowered his head and nodded, "Thank you crown princess."

On the other hand, Lin Jie was rather satisfied. He discovered that he did have the potential for Yue Lao to link them together.

Deep into the night

Since afternoon, when Shen Qinghan returned, he had locked himself in his study room, not allowing anyone to wait on him. Even Jiang Yang was miserably chased out to guard the door.

After an unknown period of time, a servant hurriedly rushed over and whispered a few words into Jiang Yang's ears.

Hearing this, Jiang Yang knocked on Shen Qinghan's door.

"What is it?"

At this time, Shen Qinghan who was at the office desk raised his head, frowned, and said coldly.

These two words caused Jiang Yang's body to tremble, and he immediately replied, "Your Highness, Prince Gu Yan is here to pay a visit."

"Nope."

Shen Qinghan did not even think about it, and immediately blurted out with an ice-cold expression.

Hearing that, Jiang Yang was startled, the Prince Gu Yan had a good relationship with Shen Qinghan, like this time, Shen Guyan had personally come to visit, but those that Shen Qinghan directly said that he did not want to see were extremely rare.

"Then, how should I reply to Prince Gu Yan?"

Jiang Yang said helplessly.

"Tell him to scram."

That cold and clear voice that seemed to contain a trace of anger sounded from the room, and Jiang Yang was immediately petrified.

"What's wrong?"

Just then, Shen Guyan's voice sounded out.

Jiang Yang turned his head, only to see Shen Guyan smiling as he stood behind him.

Naturally, Jiang Yang did not dare to tell Shen Guyan to scram like what he had said, so he could only euphemistically say to Shen Guyan, "Prince Gu Yan, His Highness is currently handling official matters, I'm afraid he will not be able to leave."

Shen Guyan smiled gently, as her eyebrows curved, "It doesn't matter, I was just passing by the Crown Prince's Palace to meet royal brother, that's all. Since he's busy, then I won't disturb you."

Jiang Yang heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, this prince was still considered to be righteous.

"But, I seemed to have heard the royal brother say 'scram' just now?"

However, Shen Guyan's tone suddenly changed, he was obviously still smiling merrily, for some reason, he had become even more terrifying.

Jiang Yang swallowed his saliva.

"You're not talking about me, right?"

Shen Guyan continued to smile.

"This... "This …"

Jiang Yang didn't know how to respond.

"I'm talking about you."

At that moment, a cold voice rang out from the room.

Hearing that, Shen Guyan exploded, rolling up his sleeves and rushing in, "royal brother, you are going overboard, I did not do anything, how can you treat your own brother like that?"

Shen Qinghan did not speak.

There was no response for a long time.

Jiang Yang hurriedly stopped Shen Guyan, lowered his voice, and whispered into Shen Guyan's ears, "Prince, calm down, your Highness is in a rather bad mood today …"

"You can do this just because you're in a bad mood?"

Only then did Shen Guyan calm down, tidied up his clothes, and said angrily.

"Your subordinate will escort Prince back first."

Jiang Yang hurriedly said.

"No need, I'll go back by myself."

Shen Guyan glanced at the tightly shut door, snorted, and then turned to leave.

Jiang Yang looked at the door, then looked at Shen Guyan's leaving figure, and sighed helplessly. "Your Highness, what happened today? "Like a hedgehog …"

Finally, the appointed day arrived.

Lin Jie had San Xi prepare a table of dishes and wine early in the morning, and then, he and Liu Ziqing would quietly wait for Shen Guyan's arrival in the pavilion.

The sun set and the moon rose

candlelight flickering

"Will the Prince Gu Yan come?"

Liu Ziqing said worriedly.

"Of course I will. It has already been arranged."

Lin Jie rolled his eyes, "I didn't think that you, young master liu, would be so cowardly in such matters."

"This is my first time doing this, how can I not be nervous?"

Liu Ziqing said.

Just as Lin Jie was about to speak, he suddenly saw the light of a lantern not far away.

"Here it comes."

Lin Jie raised his chin, pointed not far away, and said indifferently.

Hearing that, Liu Ziqing immediately turned around, and when he saw the red robed Shen Guyan who was slowly approaching, he was stunned.

San Xi carried a lantern and followed beside Shen Guyan.

"You're here?"

Lin Jie smiled.

"Then this servant will take his leave first."

San Xi laughed, then took the lantern and turned to leave.

"Yo, and they even prepared such good food and wine."

Shen Guyan glanced at the wine and dishes placed on the stone table and laughed.

"I've been waiting for you to come. Sit."

Lin Jie said.

"young master liu is here too?"

Shen Guyan looked at Liu Ziqing, and was startled.

"This official greets tenth prince."

Liu Ziqing suddenly stood up, cupped his fists, and bowed.

"No worries, no need to be so courteous."

Shen Guyan hurriedly helped Liu Ziqing up. Shen Guyan's unintentional act caused his face and ears to turn red, and he firmly lowered his head, trying his best to conceal his abnormality.

Lin Jie saw all of this, and could not bear to see it anymore, so he extended his hand to stroke his forehead.

Sure enough, Liu Ziqing was beyond saving.

"Take a seat. If you get cold from so many good dishes, it won't taste good."

Shen Guyan didn't notice Liu Ziqing's expression in the slightest, as he sat down and poured himself some wine to eat.

Lin Jie immediately pulled Liu Ziqing to sit down.

"Lin Jie, you specially came to find me to treat me to a meal?"

Shen Guyan poured a cup of wine and asked.

"No?"

Lin Jie laughed.

"I didn't say that."

Shen Guyan took a sip of the wine, and laughed: "Good wine, this wine is not bad."

"Is that so? This wine was prepared by San Xi, I do not drink. "

Lin Jie said.

"I wonder if young master liu can drink?"

Shen Guyan asked Liu Ziqing as he held his wine cup.

Liu Ziqing stared blankly at first, but then, he finally answered with a little helplessness, "Drink some."

Lin Jie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why was the usually talkative Liu Ziqing stuttering at this time?

Could it be that in front of her lover, she had become so bad with words?

Thinking of this, Lin Jie suddenly felt that it was strange.
