Chapter 2 He's Not Happy
Gu Zhang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Liu Chanyi to pick these sweet-scented osmanthus with all his heart, but to make steamed rice for himself.

"No need," he refused flatly, "Steamed rice with osmanthus flowers is what I used to eat when I was young, but I don't like it now."

"I really can't afford to worry about the county magistrate Lao Lao."

There are many soft nails in Gu Zhang's words, but Liu Chanyi didn't hear any of them, she only knew that her sweetheart no longer liked to eat sweet-scented osmanthus steamed rice.

"Oh……"

Liu Chanyi was a little downcast, but the girl didn't feel depressed for a long time. She asked the mother to put away the osmanthus flower basket, and quietly approached Gu Zhang by herself.

Gu Zhang caught a glimpse of her actions from the corner of his eye, and asked directly, "Is there something wrong with the county lord?"

"Ah? Ah!"

Liu Chanyi was startled suddenly by him.

The emperor's uncle seemed to be in a good mood today, which made Liu Chanyi's heart inexplicably surged with courage.

With her hands hanging by her sides, she pinched the corners of her clothes shyly and nervously, and looked down at the ground: "That, that is, what... Uncle Emperor, do you have a sweetheart? If not, what kind of woman do you like? "

Gu Zhang looked at the girl kicking the pebbles under her feet uneasily. He is an adult man, and Liu Chanyi is still a girl, and she is going to marry in the future.

He used to be scruples about Liu Chanyi's mood, so he didn't tell her directly, but short-term pain is worse than long-term pain, and Gu Zhang didn't want to delay her any longer.

He said slowly: "This king already has a sweetheart."

Liu Chanyi raised her head with a "swish", and looked at him eagerly with those pair of water-cut autumn pupils, feeling apprehensive and slightly expectant in her heart.

"Uncle, may I ask who it is?"

Gu Zhang's broken memories were once again aroused by these words, and the heroic female general Zhao Ru will always go forward bravely to the front line.Although there were several arrows in his body, he still gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Obviously they are all women, but the delicate girl in front of her who only understands love and loves and sheds tears at every turn is in such a sharp contrast with the female general who protects her family and defends the country and does not give up to her husband.

Gu Zhang could see the expectation in Liu Chanyi's eyes, and knew what she was expecting.

"This king... doesn't like boudoir women very much," Gu Zhang said tactfully, but the meaning in his words was obvious enough, "This king admires women who can fight bravely on the battlefield, and those who can fight side by side with this king." .”

Liu Chanyi's palm-sized face instantly turned pale.

"So, Uncle Nine Emperors doesn't like me... don't you like boudoir girls?"

He nodded: "Yes."

Unknowingly when tears had formed in the eye sockets, Liu Chanyi let out an "oh" and tried her best to hold back the tears so that they would not fall down.

My mother told her that the tears of her daughter's family are the most precious pearls, so she can't cry.

Liu Chanyi lowered her head, not looking at the man beside her.In the past, the emperor's uncle was honest with her, and she thought that maybe the emperor's uncle was like this on weekdays, but today Gu Zhang clearly rejected her.

She had never felt so embarrassed.

Liu Chanyi sniffed, and said: "Since the emperor doesn't like me, then forget it, I wish the emperor and his sweetheart will be together forever."

Hearing this, Gu Zhang's tense mood completely relaxed, and now that he has made everything clear, he will finally be able to be more pure in the future.

He thought of Zhao Ru, she was not beautiful but her expression was always firm.

Gu Zhang thought about his sweetheart, a smile floated on his face, and he said, "My lord, I would like to thank the county lord for his kind words. My king left beforehand, so please don't blame the county lord."

"You go."

Liu Chanyi turned her back, not wanting to see him: "I... the county chief will pick some sweet-scented osmanthus flowers here, since the emperor doesn't like steamed rice, then the county chief will use them to make steamed cakes."

What is this?

Gu Zhang couldn't help laughing at the child's immaturity: "The county magistrate, please go ahead."

After Gu Zhang left, Liu Chanyi glanced behind her first, and after confirming that he had really left, she finally couldn't hold back her tears.

Beady tears flowed down the girl's fair cheeks, Liu Chanyi's eyes were blurred, she stretched out her hand to wipe the tears, crying silently by herself.

The wind in autumn is always cold and biting. It blows the girl's bare hands as cold as her heart. After picking off the sweet-scented osmanthus, the palace guard quietly left, waiting by the yard, not daring to disturb her.

The entire courtyard was silent, only the raging autumn wind rolled up the withered yellow leaves and made a whimpering sound, as if she was crying with a girl.

But Liu Chanyi didn't know that the prince was standing at the gate of the courtyard right now, with the palace servants kneeling on the ground behind him.

As long as she cried, how long did he stand here with her.

During the evening banquet, Mother Liu saw her daughter's eyes were red and swollen like walnuts, so she couldn't help asking with concern.

Liu Chanyi didn't want her to worry, so she shied away from seeing Hualuo hurt and cried a lot.She looked around and saw that Gu Zhang didn't attend the banquet, she didn't know what it was like.

After the banquet was over, Liu Chanyi listlessly followed behind her mother, but was suddenly stopped by a maid, saying that the prince had something to ask her to come.

Liu Chanyi was a little surprised.

She turned left and right with the maid, and finally stopped in front of a hidden lake.

The prince stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the lake in the distance, for an unknown how long.

After the maid left, Liu Chanyi asked: "Brother Prince, did you ask me to come?"

The prince turned around and looked at her tenderly.

Today's prince is not as handsome as the emperor's uncle, but his appearance is also outstanding.

He took a few steps forward, and suddenly a pair of eastern pearl earrings emerged from his palm. The prince handed them to the girl, and said, "The pearls that are only produced in the north, I have someone make a pair of earrings for you overnight."

Liu Chanyi's eyes widened in surprise, but after a while she withdrew her hand in confusion: "I can't take it, Brother Prince, I'm just the county lord, which doesn't conform to the rules of etiquette."

All kinds of events during the day appeared in front of the prince, he must not delay any longer, otherwise he could only watch his sweetheart marry someone else.

"Cousin, Gu Xin pleases you."

……

After the maid finished pruning the flowers, she gave her young lady a strange look. After returning from the palace, she held her chin like this and looked at the moon for a long time.

At this moment, she suddenly heard Liu Chanyi let out a long sigh.

The girl blinked her apricot eyes, feeling very troubled in her heart.

She likes the emperor's uncle, but the emperor's uncle doesn't like her, the prince's brother likes her, she doesn't like the prince's brother...

Ah!
Liu Chanyi lay on her back in frustration, she wrapped herself into a silkworm chrysalis, and looked at the bright moon outside the window with a frowning expression.

Why do people have so many troubles when they grow up? Is she going to toss and turn tonight like the book says, and can't sleep all night?
