Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

Autumn is in full swing and the wind is blowing.

In the back garden of the prime minister's residence, the garden is full of colorful autumn chrysanthemums competing for beauty, and the fallen leaves are flying everywhere, which is very beautiful.

Three men in elegant attire stood in the garden, enjoying the autumn scenery.

Walking in the front, the oldest Zuo Chengyu, with his signature noble smile, picked a few white chrysanthemums and handed them to the two people behind him.

"This flower is called 'Yaotai Yufeng'. It is a famous tribute from Qinghuai Prefecture this year. Your Majesty rewarded my father with some flower seeds, so I planted it here. I didn't expect it to bloom so quickly."

As he spoke, he tore off a petal and put it in front of his nose to smell it, his expression calm and composed.

"It is said that this flower can be used to brew tea in a purple clay teapot, which has a mellow and sweet taste and can also dispel heat and dryness." Zuo Chengran added.

Compared with the two of them, the young man named Liu Ming, who was wearing a brown brocade robe, didn't seem to be very interested in this.

He took the flower from Zuo Chengyu's hand and tried to smell it, but he couldn't get it.

However, since Zuo Chengyu said that the flower was precious, it must be a good thing, so he still pretended to be interested.

"Well, it is worthy of being a gift from His Majesty. It smells unique. Thanks to Master Zuo, I have been able to broaden my horizons today."

"Mr. Liu, you are too polite. Our fathers knew each other well, and you are Cheng Ran's friend, which means you are also my friend. I made some scented tea with these flowers. If you like, you can take some back with you when you leave."

"Then I would rather obey your orders than respect you."

Seeing Zuo Chengyu being so friendly, Liu Ming was a little flattered and spoke very politely.

The eldest son of the Zuo Xiang family is of a quiet nature and has always liked quietness, and now he has seen it.

But he was familiar with Zuo Chengran and they hung out together all day. Neither of them could sit still, so he only wandered around the garden for half a while before finding it boring.

Liu Ming pulled Zuo Chengran aside and whispered in his ear: "Hey! Your prime minister's mansion isn't a place of quiet cultivation like this, right? Is there anything fun?"

Zuo Chengran shook his head. "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. My father values ​​a good reputation, so our house was built strictly according to the regulations. There is no..."

Before Zuo Chengran finished speaking, Zuo Chengyu took over the conversation: "Why don't I take you to the North Courtyard? There might be something there that might interest you."

Although Zuo Chengran didn't understand why Zuo Chengyu did that, Liu Ming's eyes lit up when he heard it.

"That's great, let's go!"

The three of them and their respective servants came to the purple bamboo forest outside the north courtyard. There was a beautiful lotus pond here, and Liu Ming's eyes were wide open at the slightly reddish leaves of the giant Victoria amazonica.

"Oh my god! What on earth does this Victoria amazonica feed on? Its leaves are so big that they are almost as big as the boat!"

Zuo Chengyu seemed very satisfied with his surprised expression. He squinted his eyes and asked him to guess with a smile.

But Liu Ming gave more than a dozen answers in a row, but he denied them one by one. In the end, he just pretended to be profound and said that it was a secret.

Liu Ming scratched his head, not understanding why this man had to speak in such a profound and mysterious manner. He couldn't help but wonder if he looked like a fool in his eyes, and looked around awkwardly.

A small door in the distance suddenly caught his attention. His intuition told him that this place did not fit in with the residence of a wealthy family, but rather looked like the entrance to a small courtyard in the countryside.

"What is that place?"

Liu Ming pointed at the low door and asked the two brothers.

Zuo Chengran glanced in the direction of his finger and said angrily, "It's just a disgusting yard."

When Liu Ming saw him like this, he felt that this place was not simple and became even more curious.

Zuo Chengyu smiled and explained, "Don't be afraid. You must have heard of the people living in there."

"I've heard of him? Who was it?" Liu Ming asked in confusion.

"Prince Duan, Feng Zhan Ye."

Upon hearing this name, Liu Ming was visibly stunned. Not to mention him, this name was known to everyone in Kyoto.

"He has been in poor health recently and is being nursed back to health in another courtyard. Although it is impolite, it is better for us not to disturb him. After all, he..."

Zuo Chengyu didn't say the rest of the sentence, and Liu Ming also reacted, "I understand, I understand."

He was still feeling smug about his quick thinking when a maid came over from a distance, approached Zuo Chengyu and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zuo Chengyu nodded, turned around and said to Liu Ming with an apologetic look on his face, "Mr. Liu is visiting our house, and I should be accompanying him throughout the whole process. But it's really unfortunate that my father has something to tell Cheng Ran and me. If you don't mind, you can walk around the house first, and we'll be back soon."

Liu Ming had already been attracted by the door leading to the other courtyard. Hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "You guys go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me."

After nodding, the two men hurried away with their servants, leaving only Liu Ming and his servant standing beside the lotus pond.

Liu Ming was concerned about Zuo Chengyu's words and endured it again and again. He kept wandering around the lotus pond. After a while, he felt extremely bored and squatted on the ground to ask the servant.

"It's really boring to stay like this, Qishun, help me think of something fun."

Qi Shun, with his dark skin, looks a little clever.

He understood his master's temper best. He rolled his eyes and said, "Sir, why don't you go to the other courtyard? The abandoned child is sick now. It would be very interesting if we could think of some way to prank him."

These words touched Liu Ming's heart. He thought for a moment and slapped his forehead.

"Qishun! I remember there are some interesting things in your hometown in southern Yunnan that are specifically designed to scare people. Go and prepare some, and we can sneak in and scare him!"

"Okay! I'll be right there!"

-------------------------------------

In the villa, Gu Qingzhi waited for three full days for the wound to slowly scab over. For three days, she couldn't sleep well and it was inconvenient for her to do anything. She was so exhausted that she almost regretted having taken the initiative.

However, the people in the villa were all very nice to her. Nanny Liu didn't ask her to carry heavy objects, and she also prepared a light meal for her every day.

Wu Fang saw her difficulties and took the initiative to swap shifts with her, letting her be on duty during the day.

After a few days of this, all three of them had dark circles under their eyes.

Oh yes, the third person who couldn’t sleep well was Feng Zhan Ye.

Don't ask, the only thing is that Wu Fang's snoring at night was so loud that it seemed to reach the sky, which made Feng Zhanye throw him out of the inner room that night.

But even when he was sleeping on the floor in the outer room, this big brother's snoring did not decrease at all.

Finally, Feng Zhanye couldn't stand it anymore and asked him to stand guard at the door at night and not to sleep.

Gu Qingzhi looked at Wu Fang's sad face and felt embarrassed to let him keep watch for her, so she planned to switch with him by keeping watch day and night.

In the past few days, Feng Zhanye really no longer had any physical contact with Gu Qingzhi, and even put on his clothes and changed his shoes by himself.

Gu Qingzhi also held her breath and didn't bother to say anything, so she just let him be.

After noon, seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Gu Qingzhi ran to the kitchen as usual to help Nanny Liu prepare the food and brought it to Feng Zhanye.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw Aunt Liu standing in the middle with a gloomy face. Xianmei and Xianman stood aside with their heads down, as if they had done something wrong and they didn't dare to breathe.
