In the box of Jubao Tower, Shen Qingxu and Gongsun Jiayan sat face to face. Gongsun Jiayan's every move revealed elegance, and his perfect everything interpreted what a dream lover was.

Facing such a Gongsun Jiayan, Shen Qingxu felt a little nervous, and Gongsun Jiayan's eyes and attentive care made her look embarrassed.

Gongsun Jiayan had a handsome face. He picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a dish for Shen Qingxu himself. His movements were smooth and natural, and his posture was quite charming.

Seeing Gongsun Jiayan like this, Shen Qingxu had a lot of thoughts in her mind. If there were no conspiracies and purposes, Gongsun Jiayan's every move would be really pleasing to the eye. Lin Shuyao had told her before that there were many handsome men and beautiful women in Nanjiang, and there were often handsome men and beautiful women dancing and drinking in the restaurant.

Gongsun Jiayan is handsome and elegant. If he were in that restaurant, there would surely be a constant stream of customers and it would be very busy.

But Shen Qingxu felt a little embarrassed. Gongsun Jiayan was a scholar after all. It would be inappropriate to compare him with the handsome and beautiful waiters in the tavern. Her sister said that there should be no distinction between different classes in this world. As long as one did not commit crimes, steal, gamble, or prostitute, he should be recognized and respected.

If Xu Xingyi and Mu Yunzhou were here, they would definitely scold Gongsun Jiayan: slut.

Gongsun Jiayan and Shen Qingxu savored the food leisurely. During the meal, Gongsun Jiayan bluntly and boldly expressed his thoughts and guilt towards Shen Qingxu, "Princess, I never thought that you would suffer this because of me!"

Shen Qingxu shook her head, not caring. Instead, she said in a gentle tone, "Even if you weren't there, if it was someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to escape this either. I can only blame myself for being careless. It doesn't matter. I wasn't hurt anyway, right?"

Who would have thought that after hearing these words, Gongsun Jiayan's face showed even more guilt. He tilted his head, lowered his eyes deeply, and looked at Shen Qingxu with a look full of heartache: "Princess, how I wish it was me who suffered this, not you!"

Gongsun Jiayan's deep and magnetic voice, his gentle and handsome profile, and his look of deep pity made Shen Qingxu feel helpless and sympathetic for a moment.

Oh, how should she act?

She won’t do that later.

Gongsun Jiayan seemed to care too much about her. Seeing him looking so distressed, she must be unable to stop feeling distressed.

Shen Qingxu lowered his head and said nothing, then picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a big chicken leg for Gongsun Jiayan.

Perhaps because Gongsun Jiayan's emotions were too passionate, she lowered her head and continued eating.

But after thinking about it, why did she become so pretentious?

Gongsun Jiayan had bad intentions, so why did she pick up the chicken leg for her?

snort!

"Princess, Princess..."

Shen Qingxu smiled at Gongsun Jiayan with her white teeth, then reached out and patted Gongsun Jiayan on the shoulder, and said again with certainty: "Mr. Gongsun, this really has nothing to do with you, you don't need to have such a heavy psychological burden!"

Originally, she was abducted after Gongsun Jiayan left, and because he was Xu Xingyi and she grew up with him, she was not on guard at all. So to be honest, she had no reason to blame Gongsun Jiayan. She just didn't understand why Gongsun Jiayan approached her and had someone kidnap her.

She wanted to take advantage of the situation and find out Gongsun Jiayan's purpose, maybe she could help her sister share some of the enemies.

"It's a pity that I'm already studying at the academy in Daliang, so I can't come to Rui'an Academy to study with you."

"It's alright, Senior Gongsun is studying at Daliang Academy. With your talent and knowledge, you will definitely become a pillar of the court after you pass the imperial examinations."

"But, I can't be with the princess, this is such a pity for me!"

His eyes were full of affection and guilt. Shen Qingxu felt uneasy when she saw this. It seemed that Gongsun Jiayan had always lived in his own world. He must be too sensitive.

However, Shen Qingxu still patiently comforted her: "It really doesn't matter, it's the same everywhere. Are you looking for someone else in Daliang just because I'm studying in Rui'an Academy?"

"How could that be? Princess, you know me. I have never hidden my feelings!" Gongsun Jiayan retorted anxiously, fearing that this would lead to other misunderstandings.

Shen Qingxu curved the corners of her lips, and small dimples appeared on both sides of her cheeks, looking particularly innocent and cute: "In that case, what are you still worried about? Study hard, and when we meet again next year, I hope you will be the top scorer in high school!"

Seeing that Shen Qingxu really didn't care too much and believed what he said, Gongsun Jiayan stopped showing off, lest the princess think he was doing it on purpose.

Gongsun Jiayan nodded heavily and said, "Princess, please rest assured. I will study hard in Daliang Academy and pass the imperial examination as soon as possible. When you reach the age of marriage next year, if you haven't fallen in love with someone else, I will come to propose marriage and marry you!"

"I, I..." These words made Shen Qingxu put down her chopsticks. She stared at Gongsun Jiayan with wide eyes. For the sake of his goal, this man actually said he wanted to marry her?

It seems that Gongsun Jiayan has great ambitions and is willing to make such a big sacrifice. No, she must get away from Gongsun Jiayan as soon as possible. She can't handle it. She wants to go to the palace to tell her sister and let her sister find a solution.

"Don't worry, Princess. I will have a position next year, and only then will I be worthy of such an excellent princess!"

These words made Shen Qingxu start digging her toes into the floor. Shen Qingxu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's destroy it!"

See what else you can say.

However, she herself does not have any prejudice against family background in love, but the prerequisite is that the person treats her sincerely and she also likes this person.

Shen Qingxu took a breath again. Okay, let the conspiracy come more fiercely.

"Mr. Gongsun, you don't have to put so much pressure on yourself. It doesn't matter to me whether you pass the exam or not. I don't really have any prejudice against family background. As long as we two are in love, that's all that's fine!" Yilan was listening to Shen Qingxu's words and almost slipped and fell to the ground. She quickly straightened herself.

Her princess was saying some lewd words when she suddenly changed the subject.

"Cough cough..." Yilan coughed twice. Shen Qingxu sat upright, knowing that his words had scared Yilan, so he stopped talking.

Shen Qingxu's answer made Gongsun Jiayan stunned for a moment. This little princess was indeed too naive and romantic. She was not smart in love. On the contrary, she was always considerate of others and her every move was still a little childish. Gongsun Jiayan looked guilty, and this scene was captured by Shen Qingxu. She knew that with Gongsun Jiayan's appearance, how could a man really fall in love with her if he had no purpose.

She was too rude and didn't know anything. Apart from her status as a princess, she wasn't worthy of him.

Otherwise, she should not try to play along with the enemy's trick. How could she have such a good brain to play with Gongsun Jiayan? She should go directly to her sister and let her sister find a way to deal with Gongsun Jiayan, so that others will not laugh at her in the future!

Gongsun Jiayan looked at Shen Qingxu's depressed look and thought to himself that something was wrong.

"A beautiful woman like the princess, innocent and kind, is exactly what I admire."

Shen Qingxu felt so sad when she heard this. She was such a fool that she couldn't even act and deceive people: "Master Gongsun, forget it. I know myself well."

Shen Qingxu's eyes were misty. When she looked at him like that, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Did he really want to deceive her for that little bit of fame and fortune?

But if you miss this opportunity, you may never find this store again. Shen Qingxu is Shen Qiuchi's favorite. Even Xiao Qi, who loves Shen Qingxu as much as he loves her, loves her like a father.

As long as he could climb up the high branch of Shen Qingxu, his future career would naturally be bright and all resources would be inexhaustible.

The Queen controls so many resources that she would promote him more even for Shen Qingxu's sake.

This is the fastest way for him to achieve his goal!

The regret and guilt only lasted for a moment. After a moment, Gongsun Jiayan regained his affectionate look, and when he looked at Shen Qingxu again, he was tender and affectionate again.

"Princess, if you like me, we are in love with each other. I will definitely take good care of you in the future!"

Shen Qingxu stared at Gongsun Jiayan blankly without saying a word.

Seeing this, Gongsun Jiayan raised his hand and swore to the sky. He looked at Shen Qingxu with his eyes full of stars, and said seriously: "I, Gongsun Jiayan, swear that if I fail the princess in the future, I will be struck by lightning that day! I will not die a good death!"

Shen Qingxu felt as if struck by lightning, she had never heard of such a serious oath. Daliang took oaths seriously. If it was for a purpose, then one would swear like this. What exactly did Gongsun Jiayan want?

Gongsun Jiayan’s oath was too heavy, and she was still thinking about how to respond for a moment.

Gongsun Jiayan took Shen Qingxu's hand. At this time, the atmosphere in the box had reached its peak. Gongsun Jiayan was about to speak more emphatically, but unexpectedly, the sudden words from outside interrupted their affectionate gaze!

"Princess, Master Gongsun, this is a drink given to you by our store. Can you bring it in so that you can try it?"

The boss of Jubaolou knew Shen Qingxu's identity, so he naturally wouldn't miss this great opportunity to show his courtesy. However, Shen Qingxu had a good temper and didn't understand the ways of the world. When he heard the boss's greeting, it happened to break the awkward atmosphere. Shen Qingxu hurriedly pulled his hand out of Gongsun Jiayan's, like a child who had done something wrong.

Gongsun Jiayan was also a little embarrassed. He had never treated a woman like this before. He felt embarrassed and blushed, and felt despicable in his heart.

Shen Qingxu's heart was pounding. She took a deep breath, patted her red face, and the residual heat gradually subsided!

When his pounding heart gradually calmed down, he cleared his throat and said, "Come in!"

Gongsun Jiayan also breathed a sigh of relief, but in Shen Qingxu's eyes, Gongsun Jiayan looked relieved!

Shen Qingxu's complexion and mentality have returned to normal.

The boss came in with a tray.

"Princess, in addition to the drinks, there is also this snack, specially made for women, with donkey-hide gelatin and deer antlers. I'll serve it to you, would you like to try it?"

Because of the boss's arrival, there seemed to be some distance between the two of them.

As soon as the shopkeeper left, Shen Qingxu no longer looked like a little girl, but was now calm and composed.

Gongsun Jiayan watched Shen Qingxu return to her normal state and couldn't help but feel puzzled. This princess's temperament changed so quickly. She must be either a scheming person or a heartless person.

He thought about his future and had no intention of thinking about anything else. The two sat face to face again without saying anything for a long while. Gongsun Jiayan mentioned again that it was almost the end of spring and the scenery outside was beautiful, so it would be better to go for an outing with the students.

"I heard that the suburban courtyard of Duke Rong is open to the public in late spring. The scenery there is infinitely beautiful. I went there once. The scenery is ingenious. It is connected to the mountains, and there are branches of rivers running through it. There are gurgling bridges and flowing water, and there are weeping willows. The most wonderful thing is that there is said to be a sea of ​​flowers in the suburban courtyard. It is carefully cultivated by foreign gardeners specially hired by Duke Rong. Now, the flowers are in full bloom, just right for us to go and play!"

Hearing about this beautiful scenery, Shen Qingxu couldn't help but feel a little moved, but she thought it would not be a good idea to go out alone with Gongsun Jiayan.

So I planned to refuse.

"Young Master Mu will also go."

"really?"

"Really? Every year at this time of year, Master Mu goes to the other courtyard of the Duke of Rong's Mansion to dig up a Yanwu flower and brings it to Madam Lin in Kangzhou."

Knowing that Mu Yunzhou was going, Shen Qingxu did not refuse. She just thought it would be better if Xu Xingyi could go. However, when she thought about what would happen if Xu Xingyi saw Gongsun Jiayan's madness, she was afraid that Gongsun Jiayan would be beaten again before she could explain.

Gongsun Jiayan continued to talk about the interesting things that happened during outings in previous years, as well as the unique scenery of Duke Rong's courtyard in the suburbs. For so long, even outings were not as beautiful as Gongsun Jiayan described.

In Gongsun Jiayan's words, those beautiful scenes seemed to be already in front of Shen Qingxu's eyes. Shen Qingxu seemed to see such a beautiful picture and couldn't help but feel a little yearning.

I couldn't help but think of the past moments in my mind, and my thoughts went back to Liangcheng, where, in late spring every year, their home was so beautiful next to that straw house.
