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

Chapter 43: Entering the Palace with an Attendant

In the next few days, Feng Zhanye's cold was almost cured, and he began to prepare the items he would need to visit his mother in the palace.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu smiled with joy, and prepared many cakes for Feng Zhanye to take away.

The villa has never had such a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. Qiu Jiang and Qiu Hong were busy helping Aunt Liu with the preparations. There was peace from top to bottom.

Gu Qingzhi was the same as usual. Although she felt that the atmosphere in the villa was very good, she still had a hint of worry.

According to rumors from the previous life, Feng Zhan Ye killed his own mother with his own hands in the future.

Although she didn't know whether it was true or not, and it hadn't happened yet, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

But seeing that Feng Zhanye had never been so happy as he was now, Gu Qingzhi really couldn't bear to tell him what would happen in the future.

In short, even if something was going to happen, she would do her best to stop it.

Soon the day of the visit arrived, and small snowflakes began to float from the sky early in the morning.

Nanny Liu brought a large food box for Gu Qingzhi to take with her. According to her, it contained the cakes that Concubine Hui always loved to eat. Feng Zhanye also specifically asked Wu Fang to go out and buy some Poria cocos cakes early in the morning.

The carriage arranged by the Lin family to enter the palace was parked in front of the gate of the villa. As soon as Gu Qingzhi got on the carriage with Feng Zhanye, she began to murmur in her heart.

Normally, someone had just died in the other courtyard, and the news had spread widely. The reaction in the palace should have been disgust, but now the situation was contrary to normal.

Moreover, it was too smooth just now. The soldiers from the branch courtyard watched them leave but only asked a few symbolic questions. No one from the main residence came to stop them, which was really suspicious.

But I can't come to any conclusion just by thinking about it now. Gu Qingzhi was pondering in her mind, when she saw Feng Zhanye approach her face, looking at something unknown.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qingzhi asked puzzledly.

"Azhi, your hair is not combed properly." Feng Zhanye grabbed a strand of hair that was not tied into a braid behind her head and shook it in front of her.

Gu Qingzhi then realized that it was probably because Nanny Liu came too early this morning. She had hurriedly climbed up from Feng Zhan's bed and fell down in a panic.

She was just about to take the hair and tie it up casually, but the boy smiled and said, "You can't see it yourself, let me help you."

Before Gu Qingzhi could open her mouth to refuse, Feng Zhanye reached out and tore off the cloth that was tying her hair.

The refreshing scent of soapberries wafts in the face, and the black hair slowly falls in front of the eyes and hangs on the shoulders, making the pair of phoenix eyes more charming, making it almost impossible to take your eyes away.

This was not the first time he had seen her hairy, but now that he was so close to her, he had a different feeling, one that made his heart palpitate for no apparent reason.

He didn't dare to look into her eyes again, and his gaze slowly moved down, only to meet her plump lips.

That touch of cherry pink is really tempting against the black hair, like a ripe peach, which will burst out with sweet juice with just one bite.

This dangerous thought made Feng Zhanye's throat roll uncontrollably, forcing him to eagerly distance himself from her.

Unexpectedly, the carriage suddenly jolted without any warning. Feng Zhanye just raised his foot to step back. The jolting was not a big deal, but the shaking of the carriage made him lose balance and he suddenly fell to the side.

Feng Zhanye instinctively stretched his hand forward to stop the falling trend.

"Be careful."

Gu Qingzhi reacted quickly. Without even thinking, she put her hand around his waist and held him firmly in her arms, preventing him from getting bumped.

Their eyes met, but both of them remained frozen in that position.

The person was caught, but Feng Zhanye's hand was pressing on Gu Qingzhi's chest.

Although Gu Qingzhi is thin and has bound her chest to dress like a man, she is still a woman after all!

The soft touch made the boy's scalp tingle instantly. He stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. Gu Qingzhi had never expected such a situation to happen and didn't know what to do for a moment.

When the two men were in a stalemate, the coachman stopped the carriage.

"Is the Third Prince okay?"

Almost at the same time when he lifted the door curtain, Gu Qingzhi and Feng Zhanye instantly sat on both sides, and Gu Qingzhi even grabbed her hair and quickly tied it up.

“Nothing.” Feng Zhanye’s heart was still beating wildly, but he pretended to be calm.

The groom did not notice the subtle atmosphere between the two. He just smiled apologetically and said, "There was a big rock on the road just now. I didn't see it. I hope you are okay."

For the rest of the journey, an extremely awkward atmosphere permeated the carriage.

Feng Zhanye was so embarrassed that he almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Gu Qingzhi. He didn't even realize that he had entered the palace.

In the past, Gu Qingzhi had only seen tall city walls from the outside. The more than three-meter-high city wall seemed to divide the inside and outside into two completely different worlds.

Just after entering the first level of the palace gate, Gu Qingzhi looked at the scenery inside the palace wall through the curtains that were blown by the wind from time to time.

There was really nothing to see, just endless vermilion walls and green tiles on the roof.

The tall palace walls completely blocked out the sunlight, locking power and greed inside, making it seem dull and depressing.

There are three levels of palace gates. The first and second levels of palace gates only inquire about the purpose of the visit. The news of the third prince's entry into the palace had been announced long ago, and the people on duty were the imperial palace guards, so they did not make things difficult for the few people and let them pass directly.

Soon they arrived at the third-level palace gate. When the groom drove the carriage near the palace gate, he was stopped by a team of guards. One of the guards asked according to the rules: "Who are you and what do you want?"

The coachman told the guards everything. After listening, the guards walked around the carriage and gave it a rough inspection.

Feng Zhan Ye had a bad aura about him, so no one was willing to search the interior of the carriage he was riding in. After entering this door, they could only walk further inside, so the coachman did not need to drive behind them. Naturally, the guards all focused their attention on Gu Qingzhi's hands.

"What are you holding in your hand? Bring it down and let us see." Seeing that Gu Qingzhi didn't know the rules and didn't move for a long time, the guard said something to her impatiently.

Gu Qingzhi didn't care at all. She nodded to Feng Zhanye to reassure him, and then took the food box containing snacks out of the car by herself.

Soon a guard with a sturdy build and fierce face came over. Although he was not tall, he had a very strong aura.

The guard first glanced at Feng Zhanye in the carriage, then opened the food box and checked each plate carefully. Although Gu Qingzhi felt sorry for the cold cakes, she couldn't say anything.

They had passed the last level of inspection. The snow had silently started to fall heavily. Gu Qingzhi was afraid that Feng Zhanye would catch a cold again, so she packed up as quickly as possible and walked over.

When Feng Zhanye saw her coming, he immediately gave her a questioning look, not even caring about his ears and hands that were red from the cold.

Gu Qingzhi shook her head to indicate that everything was fine, then lowered her eyes and obediently returned to his side.

"After entering the palace, do not cause trouble, avoid people as much as possible, and leave the palace on time within two hours. Do not cause trouble for yourself. Do you understand?"
