Chapter 763 Princess 12
Lord Xu, also known as Xu Zhinian, withdrew respectfully.
He returned to his office and continued to process and organize the books.
But when I look up from time to time, I can always see that gorgeous cluster of brocade.
The clusters of flowers are like butterflies spreading their wings, flying and dancing among the books...
Sheng Huan didn't know what Xu Zhinian was thinking, she had already taken a detour to another bookshelf.
The Royal Library is like a vast ocean, with countless books inside. I am afraid that many of them have never been opened by anyone.
"pig?"
Sheng Huan pulled a book from the bookshelf, opened it, and saw something. Her expression became more serious, so much so that her thick eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes.
Behind Sheng Huan, Xue Qing, who had been following her like a transparent person, subconsciously looked up when she heard her princess's doubtful voice. Then, her eyes fell on the old-looking book in her master's hand.
Xue Qing wanted to ask if there was something wrong with the book, but when she saw her princess turning the pages with great interest, she kept quiet for fear of disturbing her.
The princess has her own reasons for reading whatever books she wants.
-
The other end.
The eldest princess's mansion.
Gu Zhouyan climbed up the wall again and again.
He sat on the wall for a long time, but Sheng Huan didn't come back, so he just pulled up the leaves of a big tree nearby out of boredom and rolled them up.
Alas, what happened to Feng Ning? It was almost dark, why hadn't she come back yet? Moreover, the young prince thought absentmindedly, why did she stay out for several days?
"Young Prince! The Princess Royal is here."
Suddenly, an anxious and obviously low voice of a follower was heard from under the wall.
When Gu Zhouyan heard this, his eyes suddenly opened, and he jumped off the wall at a very fast speed, and he wanted to run.
"Zhou Yan."
Before I took a step, I saw the eldest princess walking leisurely and with a playful look on her face in the corridor.
"Mother." Gu Zhouyan said awkwardly, standing up straight: "Why are you here?"
The princess' eyes swept over him and said, "I heard from the servants that you climbed the wall. Come and take a look."
Gu Zhouyan: “!!!”
Gu Zhouyan's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably. He immediately put his hands behind his head, looked up at the sky and the ground, and laughed: "The scenery here is nice. There is a saying that the higher you stand, the farther you can see. The ancients were right."
He moved his feet: "Mom, I have finished seeing the scenery, it is getting late, I will go back to eat!"
Looking at Gu Zhouyan's back as he ran away, the eldest princess did not stop him. Instead, she started talking to Nanny Liu beside her.
"Feng Ning has been running to the palace library these days. I couldn't go to her princess residence to talk to her."
"Hey, Madam Liu, you don't know. There are so many books in the library." She seemed to think for a moment, as if she remembered something, and said with a hint of gossip: "The one who is sorting the books in the library now... seems to be Mr. Xu Zhinian from high school last year. I have seen him before. He is really good-looking, well-read, and well... a gentleman as gentle as jade."
Over there, Gu Zhouyan, who was running very fast, suddenly paused, and then ran even faster.
When the eldest princess saw this, the smile on her face deepened.
This brat.
-
Gu Zhouyan's residence.
Gu Zhouyan couldn't sleep tonight.
He tossed and turned in bed.
All that was in my mind was the pretty figure of the owner of the princess's mansion next door.
He sat up suddenly.
"Young Prince, are you going to get up for the night?" The night watch attendant heard the noise and hurried in from outside.
The young prince sat on the bed and scratched his hair irritably. He didn't say whether he could get up or not, but instead he became very troubled.
"Wei Song." He looked at his follower, hesitant to speak: "What do you mean by thinking of a woman from time to time?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Song instantly understood what he meant.
He even understood immediately that his master was in love.
After all, the young prince didn’t have this kind of worry before. The only person who could make him mention this matter was probably Princess Fengning, who made the young prince climb walls every day without getting tired of it.
Wei Song held back his laughter. He never expected that the young prince would end up like this.
Gu Zhouyan was lost in thought and naturally did not notice Wei Song's abnormality. If it were usual, he would be so angry that he would kick him out.
Wei Song was afraid that Gu Zhouyan would find out that he was about to laugh, so he quickly said in a serious tone: "If that's the case, I guess the young prince is already in love."
"nonsense!"
"What do you mean by fluttering hearts?! Wei Song, do you have any words at all? Get out of here!"
When Gu Zhouyan heard this, he subconsciously scolded her, but his heart seemed to be stirred by something and beat rapidly, like a drum hitting hard. His earlobes were instantly covered with red.
The blush did not fade away even after Wei Song left.
"what!"
The image of the young girl flashed through Gu Zhouyan’s mind. He screamed out in a somewhat crazy and shy voice, then quickly turned over and crawled into the quilt. But in the blink of an eye, he was twisted into a knot.
"How is that possible? I have very high standards!"
After a while, a low voice came from under the quilt again.
"Feng Ning hey...very good."
"Ah!" The young prince held his head in his hands. The bed was shaking as he rolled over and over in excitement.
-
Sheng Huan read too late today, so he just stayed in the Xinghua Palace in the palace.
The queen was worried that she was too tired from reading, so she came over in the evening.
"Mother, I know my limits." After hearing the Queen's caring voice, Sheng Huan hugged the Queen's arm and started to act coquettishly. She also proudly handed over the letter from County Magistrate Han.
"Mother, I am so happy. I feel like I have found some meaning in life. I am full of energy every day and not tired at all."
The queen looked at the letter in her hand, then at her daughter's beautiful face, and her heart couldn't help but tremble.
She really didn't expect that her child would spend all the money for printing.
"If you like it, I will support you." The queen touched her daughter's head.
"Thank you, mother." Sheng Huan buried her head in the queen's arms. She raised her little face to the queen, her eyes twinkling cutely: "Mother, you are so kind."
The queen laughed, a gentle smile on her lips.
Later, when she returned to Fengyi Palace, Emperor Tiancheng had already arrived.
The couple lay in bed, and the Queen and Emperor Tiancheng talked about this.
Emperor Tiancheng proudly said: "Zi Tong, Feng Ning is very courageous. She is worthy of being my daughter."
County Magistrate Han is also very good and does a good job.
I just hope he stays like this and never let him and Feng Ning down.
-
The next day, after Sheng Huan got up and had her meal, she went to the Royal Library again.
"The official has met Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Xu Zhinian has found the time pattern of Sheng Huan's coming, and they appear in a tacit understanding. Perhaps because the man has read too many books, he is filled with bookish air, and coupled with his graceful demeanor, he has the elegant demeanor of a gentleman.
Xu Zhinian: "Princess, I have asked the palace maids to sort out the book you were reading yesterday, and it will be on the table in a moment."
"Okay." Sheng Huan nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, Master Xu."
Gu Zhouyan finally made it to the palace and begged his uncle the Emperor to allow him to come to the library, but he didn't expect to see this scene.
The man and woman in front of him were very eye-catching, and they looked familiar with each other. Especially when he saw Xu Zhinian's appearance and eyes, Gu Zhouyan felt an unprecedented sense of vigilance in his heart.
"Feng Ning!"
Sheng Huan was holding a book, and when he heard this, he subconsciously looked up.
Soon, a butterfly-like boy appeared in front of her. He was wearing gorgeous red clothes, with an exquisite hair crown, and he looked high-spirited and noble. As he walked, the rings on his waist collided with each other, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
Gu Zhouyan stood directly in front of Sheng Huan, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, he pushed Xu Zhinian away.
Xu Zhinian was naturally not angry. He also recognized Gu Zhouyan and raised his hand: "Young Prince."
"Yeah." The young prince nodded perfunctorily, his eyes always on the girl in front of him.
"Why are you here?" Sheng Huan didn't know whether Fa noticed or not, but when she saw him appear, she was shocked to realize that she seemed to have not returned to the princess's mansion for several days.
The little prince's Adam's apple tightened slightly, his eyes slightly raised, and he had the aura of a little overlord: "Let's go to the palace to see the emperor uncle."
"Now?" Sheng Huan was surprised.
It's court time now, and I haven't seen anyone else coming into the palace so early for no important business.
"Yes." Gu Zhouyan was sure, not panicking at all, confident and calm: "But my uncle went to court, so I walked around and took a look. I saw the library, so I just came in casually."
Sheng Huan stared at his face. Her eyes were calm, but for some reason, Gu Zhouyan felt as if his ears were burning inexplicably.
The little bully who usually talks back at everyone didn't know where to put his eyes when he was looked at with such eyes.
No one knew that his mind was in a mess at this moment.
Why was Feng Ning looking at him like that? Did she also notice that he had dressed up specially today? Did she also think he was handsome?
"Oh." Just as Gu Zhouyan was thinking about this and that, Sheng Huan retracted his gaze: "Then you watch, I'll go get busy first."
Sheng Huan walked to another bookshelf.
Seeing that she didn't even turn her head back, Gu Zhouyan felt anxious and nervous, and hurriedly chased after her.
Xu Zhinian stood behind, he watched the young man excitedly but cautiously approaching the girl step by step. His eyelashes moved slightly, he watched for a long time, and finally... left.
……
When Sheng Huan walked to his seat with a book, Gu Zhouyan followed him and even pulled out a chair for Sheng Huan.
"Gu Zhouyan." Sheng Huan put down the book, and there seemed to be more confusion in his black and white eyes: "Is there something wrong with you? Why are you following me all the time?"
When she went to choose books just now, Gu Zhouyan had never left and was very close.
"No, no." Being stared at by such a pair of clear eyes, Gu Zhouyan was inexplicably nervous, and even felt that the collar was a little tight. He thought, maybe it was because of the poor fabric of this dress, otherwise why is it so airtight.
He said, "I just think this place is pretty good, so I'll follow you around and take a look."
"Okay." Sheng Huan didn't pursue the matter. She sat down, her beautiful eyes fixed on him: "Gu Zhouyan, I have to be busy, you can play by yourself."
Gu Zhouyan's eyes suddenly widened. Play? He didn't want to play. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, in her eyes, is he so playful?
He was clearly...was...When he found a reason to refute, the girl's eyes were no longer on him.
Gu Zhouyan frowned, afraid that someone would notice something unusual, so he picked up a book and casually flipped it open as if to hide it from others. However, his gaze moved uncontrollably to the girl next to him little by little.
"Feng Ning..."
"Gu Zhouyan, I will play with you again in the future. Be good and be quiet first." The girl's voice was very pleasant. When she lowered her voice, it seemed to pass by my ear, making me feel tingling and numb.
That stunning glance was more like a snow lotus blooming on the top of a snowy mountain in winter, making people intoxicated.
All of Gu Zhouyan's words were stuck in an instant.
The only word left echoing in his ears was "good boy".
His heart began to surge and his heart beat wildly. He could no longer suppress the smile on his lips and he smiled foolishly with joy.
