"Your Majesty?"

Zhuo Qian first saw Gu Mingheng's figure and murmured in surprise.

Seeing the prince suddenly come out, he initially thought that the prince had some instructions. Just as he was about to stand up and ask, he saw that the prince had already strode out.

Zhuo Qian was shocked.

But he also knew that the prince was not in trouble, but was preparing to leave.

He couldn't sit still anymore.

He patted Wu Ji and Zhuo Qian's arms and said hastily, "The prince is gone!"

Wu Ji exclaimed.

He drank a little too much today. Although he was not drunk, his brain's reaction was slower than usual.

At this moment, he held the wine bowl and blinked, wondering, "Why did you leave?"

Zhuo Qian and Qing Xin had already put down what they were holding, said something to Shen Daqing, and chased after him.

Wu Ji also woke up at this time.

He cried out, looked forward, and saw the prince leaving. He was so scared that he quickly put down the wine bowl in his hand.

"Why did the prince leave suddenly?"

Amid Shen Daqing's worried words, Wu Ji hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, the prince probably has something to deal with, Steward Shen, we'll drink next time."

As he spoke, he patted Shen Daqing on the shoulder and followed the other two.

However, when the three of them saw Princess Changle chasing after them, they hesitated for a moment, and no one went over. Instead, they stayed behind and waited for the princess to talk to the prince first.

Ming Jin didn't notice Wu Ji and the others.

She chased Gu Mingheng out of the yard.

Fortunately, she has been practicing diligently recently, otherwise she might not be able to catch up.

"Your Majesty." She called out.

When Gu Mingheng heard the voice, he immediately turned around and saw Ming Jin right behind him. Because she had been running for a while, her face was slightly red and she seemed to be breathing heavily.

He quickly changed his expression and walked back.

"Why did you come out? Didn't I tell you not to send me off?"

"It's my fault that I didn't hear you and made you walk this longer." He said this with some self-blame.

I regretted that I was too distracted just now and didn't notice it, otherwise I wouldn't have made her run so quickly.

Mingjin said it was okay.

She stood there for a while, and her breathing became less rapid.

She did not ask Gu Mingheng what was wrong, but only said to him, "Please do not blame me for my poor hospitality today, Your Majesty."

When Gu Mingheng heard this, he hurriedly said, "No, you did a great job."

"it's me……"

He lowered his eyes slightly, his tone unable to conceal his self-blame: "I ruined everyone's mood. I hope you can be more calm after I leave."

When Ming Jin heard this, he remained silent but felt a little distressed.

Looking at Gu Mingheng's annoyed face, Ming Jin sighed silently before saying to others, "I don't think the prince has ruined our mood."

After all, it was her fault.

If she had only invited Gu Mingheng and the others at the beginning, this would not have happened.

But it's too late to say this now.

"I'll invite His Majesty to my house for dinner in a few days."

Seeing Gu Mingheng raise his eyes in confusion, Mingjin added: "It will be just us then, no one else."

Of course Gu Mingheng was happy to do so.

The sadness in his heart was reduced a lot, but before agreeing, Gu Mingheng still hesitated: "Won't it affect you?"

Mingjin saw that he was still thinking about her even at this time.

Her heart moved.

When he said this, he looked very calm: "Of course not. Your Majesty, have you forgotten that according to seniority, I still have to call you uncle?"

"What's the harm if my niece invites my uncle to a home-cooked meal?"

Gu Mingheng heard her say this.

I should be relieved, happy even.

In fact, he had always hoped that she could call him uncle like she did when they were little.

But for some reason, seeing her calling him like this with a calm expression and smiling eyes, he suddenly felt depressed again.

I couldn’t tell why, it felt like a huge rock was blocking my heart.

He frowned, puzzled by the emotion.

Ming Jin didn't know what was wrong with him, but when he suddenly frowned, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"No."

When Gu Mingheng heard her voice, he immediately came back to his senses.

He suppressed the inexplicable emotion in his heart, and when he faced Ming Jin, he changed into the gentle look he usually showed to her: "Okay."

He complied.

Worried that she would be overworked and busy, he added, "There's no rush. You can do it whenever you are free."

"I've been in the palace for a while. If you have anything to say, just send someone to deliver the message."

Ming Jin was obviously relieved when he saw that he agreed: "Then I will not keep you here today, Your Majesty. You should have a good rest."

Gu Mingheng nodded to her.

"Come in. It's windy today and you've been drinking. Don't look back or you'll have a headache." He let Ming Jin go in first, fearing that she would feel uncomfortable if she looked back and was blown by the wind.

Ming Jin hesitated for a moment, but did not insist with Gu Mingheng.

He bowed to him and turned to go in.

When they got inside, Ming Jin saw Wu Ji and the other two, and said to them, "I'm sorry for not treating you well today. I'll invite you to dinner later."

The three of them didn't know what had happened.

But if you think about it, it is impossible that someone has offended the prince.

Hearing Ming Jin say this, they just took it as a polite remark. They bowed to Ming Jin, said "You're welcome, Princess", and hurried out.

Mingjin watched them leave before going back.

Entered the house.

Ming Jingting faced the door, and when he saw her come in, he immediately stood up and asked, "Is the prince gone?"

Although Zhou Que didn't say anything, he looked at Ming Jin.

Ming Jin nodded softly.

Seeing the worry on his second brother's face, he smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, second brother, the prince is really in trouble."

"so……"

Ming Jingting breathed a sigh of relief.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, really worried that it was because he had not entertained the guests well enough or had said something wrong.

Yuan Yu was completely drunk.

Ming Jin told Aunt Pei, "Aunt, ask someone to cook some hangover soup."

Aunt Pei said, "Miss Xu has already given instructions."

Ming Jin didn't say anything else.

She asked her second brother and Zhou Que to continue eating well, and asked someone to take Yuan Yu to the guest room to rest, while she went in herself.

"Seventh sister (cousin), is the prince okay?" Ming Sheng and Zhou Shuangyue asked hurriedly when they saw her come in, and there was worry on their faces.

Mingjin smiled and comforted them: "It's okay."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Xu Zhaojun did not believe Mingjin's words.

After Mingjin sat down, she looked at Mingjin.

"Are you really okay?" she asked in a low voice.

"fine."

Mingjin shook his head.

In fact, she didn't know why Gu Mingheng suddenly acted like that before, but she also knew that he left because he must have felt that he had affected them and ruined their mood, rather than being angry.

She felt sorry for him.

He is such a noble person, but he has to suffer injustice.

She poured herself another glass of wine in silence and drank it slowly.

Xu Zhaojun couldn't help but frown when she saw her like this.

She always felt that Ajin was acting strange today.
