The evening wind swayed the bamboo shadows.

After finishing the sacrificial banquet for the Shangsi Festival, the group left Tianyi Pavilion and went back to their own residences. Gu Junci followed behind the princess, feeling the cool wind blowing around him, listening carefully to the whispers of the other aristocratic princes. Xiao Yuan's evaluation.

"This Xiao Yuan is a role model recognized by the young masters of the family. I didn't expect that this time he would fall into the shoes of others and become a lucky man in the world." The young master of the Yuan family laughed mockingly.

The son of the Song family in Luzhou said with a smile: "You can't say that, I have never seen the second son Xiao being very courteous to the princess."

Wang Yuanjing of Luoyang Wang Clan showed a lot of nonsense in his tone: "He is a cousin, so he is naturally closer than us people, and he is used to holding his posture. I see that he wants to find another man while his fiancée's body is not cold. Gao Zhi."

"Young Master Wang seems to be jealous that he is not favored by the princess by making such a comment."

It was Qinghe Cui's son who spoke, his voice was handsome and clear, with a bit of a smile, even Gu Junci couldn't help turning his head to look at him.

After his words, no one else commented on Xiao Yuan, and they all went back to their residence in silence along the way.

But as soon as she stepped into the door, the princess grabbed the teapot and threw it at Gu Junci's feet, and the tea pots were scattered all over the floor, venting her anger.

The princess pointed at Gu Jun at the door and resigned: "He actually has an engagement! Why didn't you tell me that he has an engagement!"

Gu Junci clasped his fists and saluted, and said solemnly: "I heard from the girl of the Xiao family that the second son of Xiao did have a marriage contract, but that girl passed away before, so..."

The princess covered her chest with red eyes and said: "So? So you don't tell me, just watch me fall in love with him, don't you! What is my status! How can I be with someone who has a marriage contract like him!"

Gu Junci nodded in silence, and did not answer the princess's words.

The princess pushed all the things on the table to the ground as if venting her anger, her voice was so harsh that Gu Junci was told to get out.

Gu Junci sighed, and turned to leave after saluting, but he didn't want to meet Xiao Shunhua, a girl from the Xiao family in the courtyard.

She looked worriedly at the princess's room, and seeing Gu Jun resign, she stepped forward and said, "Is the princess angry?"

Gu Junci nodded: "I was wrong, I should have told her on the sidelines that Second Young Master Xiao has a marriage contract."

Xiao Shunhua lowered his eyes and sighed: "But I don't want the princess to mind so much."

Gu Junci smiled and said: "It's okay, the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, what kind of consort can't be found, but Second Young Master Xiao, can he still talk about a good wife in the future?"

Xiao Shunhua nodded and smiled slightly, shaking his head: "Brother Yuan's fate depends on God's will."

Gu Junci smiled back, and then looked at the princess' room: "I'm a man, and I'm just a Jinwu guard. It's hard to say, please, Miss Xiao, please comfort the princess."

Xiao Shunhua nodded, and after seeing Gu Junci raised his hand to salute, he strode away from the courtyard and disappeared into the night.

Gu Junci walked in the evening wind on the bluestone road back to his residence, accompanied by the rustling of leaves, Gu Junci stopped and walked, and finally stopped in the gazebo by the pond, looking at the water reflecting the bright moon, Can't help but sigh.

He was a majestic prince living in another world, not only became a guard of the imperial city, but even became a guard beside the princess.

Such an inferior status, even after adapting to it for more than half a year, he still can't adapt from the bottom of his heart. Gu Junci is the prince of Xuanji Kingdom, so he should be superior. The current embarrassment cannot make him like this all his life. He has to change this predicament.

With such thoughts in Gu Junci's mind, he naturally began to think about which path he should take in the future.

Although Prime Minister Xie cannot dominate the court at present, he is the emperor's confidant, and most of the other courtiers also submit to him.

Could it be that he, Gu Junci, also wanted to be that person who followed suit and joined the prime minister's camp?

Gu Junci stroked his face with both hands, really embarrassed.

Especially among the aristocratic families, Fan Yang and the Lu family are completely idle in the court. Even if they ask for help from others, it is just a thin face of selling their status, but in fact they have no foundation in the court.

Right now because of Xuanjitu, the Langya Wang family will naturally not accommodate him anymore.

So among the families, the only one who has the ability to compete with Prime Minister Xie, and even has prestige among the families, is probably the Lanling Xiao family.

Lanling Xiao's...

Gu Junci let go of his hand, Xiao Yuan's face was actually reflected in the water that reflected the bright moon, but then he remembered what the eldest son of the Xiao family said when he was still ill, and immediately extinguished this thought

"No matter where I am, I live under the fence of others. Can't I set up my own family?"

Gu Junci murmured softly, raised his eyebrows for a moment, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, but no matter what, he would not be willing to be just a Jinwu guard, even if he was in a different world, he would also be a person under one person and above ten thousand people.

A familiar voice approached from far to near, Gu Junci immediately became alert, carefully distinguishing the source of the voice, and gradually realized that two people were walking towards this direction, as if they were still talking about something.

Gu Jun Cixuan hid himself in the bushes beside the pavilion, so that no one would find him.

Pei Sheng and Xiao Yuan were together, they walked side by side to the gazebo by the pond and stopped and called out, Pei Sheng stood in front of Xiao Yuan, and his tone was puzzled:

"I don't understand. The princess didn't say she fell in love with you. How could you use this method to break her thoughts? If you ruin your future like this, there will be no girls willing to marry you in the future."

Xiao Yuan turned his head to meet his eyes, and nodded slightly: "Didn't Brother Pei say that Shunying's bones are not cold, how can I find another new love."

Pei Sheng sighed: "I...you know that's not what I mean. I am very sad that Shunying left, but as her elder brother, I know her best. She doesn't think much, I just hope you are well. "

Xiao Yuan lowered his eyes, his expression was calm, but in Gu Junci's eyes, his heart was a little more puzzled.

Could it be that in Tianyi Pavilion just now, Pei Sheng pointed at Xiao Yuan and said that he is Bo Xinglang, they planned it a long time ago?

Just to stop the princess from thinking about Xiao Yuan?

This is too much to justify.

After a long time, Xiao Yuan opened his lips and said, "Didn't you realize that my elder brother likes princesses?"

Pei Sheng was a little puzzled: "What does that have to do with your game tonight?"

Xiao Yuan looked at the pond under the gazebo, and walked towards the pavilion with his hands behind his back: "Brother is the eldest son, the eldest son, and will inherit the Lanling Xiao family business in the future. To me, although he is the elder brother, he is a family member. Master, you cannot be disobeyed. Brother likes the princess, so tonight's game is not for the princess, but to break my thoughts about the princess."

Pei Sheng was thoughtful: "Could it be that you have to sacrifice your own happiness just because he wants to inherit the family business?"

Xiao Yuan continued: "It's not a sacrifice, at least I treat the princess like a younger sister, so I don't care."

Pei Sheng snorted coldly, turned his back and didn't look at Xiao Yuan: "If my sister is still there, wouldn't you have to let the eldest daughter-in-law bully her after you get married? Then my natal family will not agree."

Xiao Yuan looked sideways at Pei Sheng's back, just raised his lips and smiled, and found the person hiding in the night, couldn't help but lower his eyes, and said coldly:

"After listening for so long, why don't you show up and discuss with me?"

Gu Junci froze, and slowly walked out from behind the tree, looked at the surprised Pei Sheng with a fawning smile, then bowed to them, and then said:

"I did not do it on purpose."

Pei Sheng pointed at him: "Young Master Gu, why are you here?"

Gu Junci walked forward pretending to be relaxed: "I have been here early in the morning, and I only hid when I heard someone coming."

Xiao Yuan stared at Gu Junci's eyes, the things hidden in those eyes were far more than that, he couldn't help saying: "Brother Gu, don't you want to say something?"

Gu Junci pondered for a while, and finally the smile on his face gradually faded. He scratched his head: "Brother Xiao, is it worth it for you to do this? Although I have not been with you for a long time, I still want to ask, Second Young Master Xiao doesn't feel wronged." Is it?"

Xiao Yuan looked at him: "Why are you wronged?"

Gu Junci leaned closer with his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Xiao is definitely not a man who can run a family. He is headstrong and arbitrary. I'm afraid even you will be threatened in the future."

Xiao Yuan lowered his eyes and tilted his head, chuckled lightly: "It's okay, there is always a solution."

Hearing Xiao Yuan's answer, Gu Junci naturally couldn't say anything, he just took a step back and saluted Xiao Yuan: "In the future, if the second son of Xiao can use me, he must open his mouth and go through fire and water, I will choose to do it." Yes, anyway, I will help you."

Pei Sheng who was on the side couldn't help laughing: "If you go through fire and water, shouldn't the ones following you be willing?"

Gu Junci Shi Shiran said: "My ability is limited, so naturally I can only choose to do it."

For a moment, Pei Sheng felt that his excuse was quite good, so he didn't know what to say.

Xiao Yuan felt a little helpless: "Brother Gu did this, I owe a lot of favors."

Gu Junci quickly waved his hand: "Isn't this a serious illness before, thanks to brother Xiao's care, and return your favor."

Xiao Yuan frowned slightly and thought about it, and then said: "Then let me say, if you saved me once before and only took care of you, wouldn't you also say that it was because I helped you cover that time?"

Gu Junci was stunned: "Isn't it?"

Xiao Yuan couldn't help nodding his head and smiling, bowed to Gu Jun and said: "Brother Gu, I'm afraid we can't tell who owes whom between us. Since Brother Gu is generous, I'd rather be respectful than obedient. If I need anything from you in the future, I will definitely ask."

Gu Junci thought about it for this reason. Between him and Xiao Yuan, who accepted who's love, and who saved each other one more time, is really innumerable.

Pei Sheng sighed at the side: "Looking at it now, I'm a bit redundant."

Xiao Yuan and Gu Junci looked at each other with a smile, and immediately said: "Let's go, it's late at night, it's time to rest."

Pei Shengcai ignored the two of them, but walked out of the gazebo with arms folded and walked towards the courtyard where he lived.
