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

Feng Zhanye raised his eyes to look at her, then lowered them again.

"It's cold in the yard, I don't want to go out."

"Not in the yard..."

Seeing that he had no interest in the book but insisted on flipping through it, Gu Qingzhi asked, "Do you want to go outside the courtyard and take a look?"

The young man frowned slightly, closed the book, stared at her and asked, "Are you mocking me on purpose, or have you really forgotten that I was grounded?"

Gu Qingzhi knew that he was in a bad mood and spoke directly, but she didn't argue with him and just looked at him straight in the face.

"Of course I remember. You just need to think about whether you want to go out or not. I'll figure out the rest."

Feng Zhanye laughed coldly, "What can I do if I go out? To see how they despise me?"

"Kyoto is much bigger than the Imperial City. It has markets and various shops, which contain many things that are not available in the Imperial City." Gu Qingzhi listed the things that could attract him and tried to guide him in some way.

Feng Zhan Ye recalled that when he was a child, his mother had told him about what she had seen and heard in Kyoto before she entered the palace as a concubine, and there were many interesting stories among them.

At that time, he had already developed a longing for the outside world, and the mother and son had even imagined together that if they could get rid of the evil spirit one day, they would also like to go out and see the world.

Thinking about how things have changed now and how he would be hated by everyone if he went out, the boy hesitated and shook his head.

"Forget it. I have evil spirits and shouldn't have such delusions."

This child is really stubborn!

"Don't worry, just stay away and look around. You don't need to contact others. The important thing is that no one there knows you, so don't worry."

The young man lowered his eyebrows, and the mole on his nose swayed slightly under the candlelight, reflecting his hesitant face.

Gu Qingzhi had no choice but to use her trump card.

"Your Highness has gone. If I can go to the palace to see the Queen in the future, I can tell her more interesting stories."

Sure enough, this trick worked. Feng Zhanye finally raised his head. He asked her half-doubtfully, "Then... can you really take me out?"

Gu Qingzhi nodded firmly.

"Of course, I'll take that as your agreement."

Feng Zhanye turned his little face away and nodded reluctantly as a response.

"Okay, then go to bed early and set off early tomorrow morning."

Gu Qingzhi pulled him up from the chair, held his wrist and walked towards the screen in the inner room.

"Wait, don't..."

Feng Zhanye was startled and wanted to pull his hand away, but she saw through his intention and held it even tighter.

Gu Qingzhi had no intention of listening to him in the first place, but now this excuse made it easier for her to find excuses.

"Your Highness should get used to this from now on. I will naturally protect you in this way the whole time you go out tomorrow."

"You! You really are not afraid of death!"

Feng Zhanye pouted and wanted to scare her, but he saw her stop and turn around to stare at him.

What should I do if my child is stubborn? It's not a big deal, just treat it.

"When you were scared and jumped on me, you were much more obedient than you are now."

When talking about this, the boy's ears suddenly turned red. He didn't know why he was so tactless at that time. He avoided her eyes in panic and didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. He could only let her pull him like a little wife.

Perhaps because he felt embarrassed, Feng Zhan Ye was surprisingly obedient and fell asleep very quickly.

Gu Qingzhi had been injured for so many days that she had already mastered the skill of sleeping while sitting. She regarded it as a kind of mental training, which made her calmer when encountering things.

Although there was not much difference between sleeping and not sleeping, Gu Qingzhi still got up early, checked her wounds that were about to scab off, changed into plain cloth clothes, and felt much more refreshed.

She informed Wu Fang and Aunt Liu. Although both of them expressed concern, they also agreed to let Feng Zhan Ye go out for a change of mood, and they both agreed to cover for them.

Nanny Liu was afraid that Feng Zhanye might be recognized if he went out like this, so she found a piece of white gauze, cut it and sewed it into the hat.

Not to mention, the handsome young man didn't look out of place with the hat on his head, but instead added a touch of mystery. Walking with the heroic Gu Qingzhi, he looked like a worldly expert described by a storyteller.

The two came to the corner where Gu Qingzhi had sneaked out last time. She took the lead and climbed up the wall two or three times to check the patrol situation of the palace army. After confirming that there was no one nearby, she extended her hand to Feng Zhanye.

The arms looked lean, without any excess flesh, and the fingers were slender and long. If it weren't for the calluses, there would be almost no signs of martial arts training.

Feng Zhanye inappropriately recalled her teasing words to him last night and remained silent for a long while.

"Give me your hand." Gu Qingzhi reminded him softly, and he finally reacted and stretched out his hands awkwardly.

Gu Qingzhi only felt that he was a little lighter than last time. She didn't have to use much strength to lift him up and made him sit steadily astride the wall.

Feng Zhanye hastily adjusted his hat to steady himself. He took a deep breath and looked outside the courtyard, only to find that this was a bamboo forest behind the prime minister's residence.

The bright sunlight shines through the bamboo leaves into the air, and the mottled light spots gather into light columns, which remain motionless despite the morning mist rising. It is a completely different scene from the other courtyard.

Gu Qingzhi jumped down from the courtyard wall lightly. Although she didn't want to disturb Feng Zhanye from enjoying the beautiful scenery, she was afraid that the palace troops would pass by later, so she urged him on.

"Jump down, we have to get out of here quickly."

Jump? Are you kidding?

Feng Zhanye looked at the courtyard wall that was more than three feet high from his feet, and doubted whether she was serious.

Gu Qingzhi also realized that it seemed a bit difficult for him, so she scratched her head and stretched out her hands.

"Just jump, and I'll take over."

The young man looked at his current situation and realized that he was in a dilemma. Since he had decided to go out, he had better be decisive. He closed his eyes and made up his mind.

Gu Qingzhi originally wanted to take a horse stance to steady herself, but she saw the young man had already leaped down.

This kid is really honest. He doesn't waste any time when asked to dance!

Fortunately, she was quick-witted and just when Feng Zhanye was ready to fall to the ground, he was caught firmly in a soft embrace.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of eyes as dark as thick ink in front of him. She held his waist and legs with her arms and gently lifted him to relieve the force, and his whole body was suspended in the air.

He screamed, and in order to maintain his balance, he unconsciously hooked his hands around her neck, breathing very close to her.

"Hurry...put me down."

The boy could not stay in her arms for another moment and was about to jump down in a hurry.

Gu Qingzhi didn't notice anything wrong with him, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and put him safely on the ground.

Feng Zhanye's face seemed to be completely burned, hot and red, and he didn't know if it was because of shock or something else, but his heart was pounding non-stop.

If it weren't for the hat covering his face, his emotions would be so clearly shown on his face that Guard Gu would definitely laugh at him and he would be the one making fun of him again.

Gu Qingzhi helped the boy adjust his hat, smoothed down the corners of his clothes, stood up and said, "Let's go."

Her actions were exactly the same as last night. As she spoke, she grabbed his wrist and pulled him out of the bamboo forest.
