Gu Zhao didn't know what Lin Xuerong meant by introducing her to Qin Youjin? Whose young lady didn't show her best side when they looked at each other? She actually laid out her most miserable past in front of her.

Gu Zhao sneered in his heart.

Didn't he promise Lin Xuerong to marry her? Gu Zhao just wanted to see Qin Youjin's embarrassment when he had to approach him even though he was unwilling.

Qin Youjin looked at Gu Zhao quietly for a while, as if he was recalling something, and even showed a faint smile, "Miss Gu is so kind and admirable."

As if a switch was turned on by Gu Zhao's frankness, Qin Youjin's attitude became obviously warmer. "Miss Gu is so frank and treats me as a friend. So don't be polite to me and call me Youjin."

Gu Zhao was a little surprised. Why did this man seem to have changed?

"Your Highness, this is not in line with etiquette."

"I agree." Qin Youjin looked at Gu Zhao deeply, with endless emotions in his dark eyes, "Can I call you A Zhao?"

Gu Zhao's eyebrows wrinkled. Is this Qin Youjin? In their previous life, Qin Youjin never mentioned such an intimate title when they were husband and wife.

What went wrong?

Gu Zhao looked at Qin Youjin, and Qin Youjin didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and met Gu Zhao's eyes with a smile on his lips.

Qin Youjin has a tall and straight figure and handsome appearance. He is wearing a moon-white cloak. His snow-white hair outlines an elegant arc on the edge of his chin. The bright red plum tree behind him has become the best background.

He became even more handsome and incomparable.

Qin Youjin's eyes were as deep as a pool, and Gu Zhao's face was reflected in his eyes, as if Gu Zhao was the only scenery left in his eyes. Qingzhu was pulled by Qin Youjin's eunuch and was not allowed to come close. Looking at this scene from a distance, he couldn't help but hold it in his hands.

in my chest, my heart beating wildly.

If there was such a handsome and noble young man staring at her affectionately, she would definitely be unable to control herself and fall into his arms!

How come the second young lady is so lucky! First she became the adopted daughter of the Duke of Guo, and now she is loved at first sight by His Highness the Prince...

Under Qin Youjin's focused gaze, Gu Zhao said calmly, "Your Highness, please respect yourself." After saying that, Gu Zhao turned around and walked past Qin Youjin...

The atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

The expression on Qin Youjin's face was almost broken, and his eyes were full of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that Gu Zhao would react like this.

Qingzhu and the eunuch also couldn't believe their eyes. Gu Zhao actually rejected His Highness the County Prince!

Qin Youjin was the first to react, turned around and caught up with Gu Zhao, "Ah Zhao, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude, I just couldn't help myself."

It turns out that at this time, Qin Youjin had already obeyed Lin Xuerong's words to this point.

He is really an infatuated person, because he knows that he can't steal the crown prince, so he actually agrees to marry his sweetheart's sister so that he can see his sweetheart often.

In his previous life, he took the bait easily, so Qin Youjin could remain cold; in this life, his attitude was cold, and Qin Youjin became enthusiastic.

After thinking about this, Gu Zhao looked at Qin Youjin with more and more indifference.

"Your Majesty, please be careful what you say." Gu Zhao took two steps to the side and distanced himself from Qin Youjin. He frowned slightly and said with a serious face, "Although I come from the countryside, I also know that a woman's reputation is precious.

When Your Highness speaks like this, where does that put me?"

Qin Youjin looked at Gu Zhao in surprise. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and apologized, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

He walked a few more steps and stopped, "Azhao, look at this plum blossom. It's graceful, gorgeous but not flattering. It's really the best."

With that said, he waved his hand and called his chief eunuch over, "Fusheng, come and break off this plum blossom and send it back to the Duke's Mansion for Miss Gu to put in her room for viewing."

Fusheng hunched over and trotted over with a smile, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely take care of it for you."

He took out a bright yellow ribbon from his pocket and tied it neatly on the plum blossom branch to mark it. This way, when others see it, they will know that someone has taken a fancy to the plum blossom and will not break it.

When Gu Zhao's eyes swept over Fu Sheng's body, they were as cold as a sharp blade eager to drink blood.

"Does Azhao like it?"

After Fusheng and Qingzhu took a few steps back, Qin Youjin lowered his head and asked in a soft voice.

If it were another young girl who was just beginning to fall in love and was treated so tenderly and considerately by a man of the same age who was so handsome, even if she knew that Qin Youjin had an embarrassing status and a lot of troubles at home, it would be difficult to refuse his affection.

But Gu Zhao, who had been fooled once, saw Qin Youjin's face and thought of Qin Youjin's ungratefulness in his previous life, his cold words in the cold palace, and his cruelty of watching his daughter being beaten to death.

She wished she could take out the dagger from her sleeve, pierce eighty-one holes in Qin Youjin, and let him lie in the wind and snow, and experience what it would be like to have his blood drain out and his body temperature drop until he dies.

The corner of Gu Zhao's mouth curled up, with a desolate coldness. "I don't like it, it's too gorgeous." She pointed casually, "I think that one looks better."

The branch of plum blossoms chosen by Qin Youjin has slanting branches, and the red plum blossoms on the branches are crowded in clusters, which is prosperous and brilliant.

But the branch Gu Zhao pointed to had strong branches, with only two or three plum blossoms blooming sparsely, trembling slightly in the cold wind, and full of cold silence.

Qin Youjin couldn't appreciate it, but he nodded slowly and agreed, "Ah Zhao has good eyesight."

Before he could think of any suitable words of praise, Gu Zhao had already taken the lead and walked deep into the plum forest.

There are many people admiring plum blossoms in the plum forest, and from time to time you can meet young people in groups of three or two, but looking at the route, everyone seems to be heading in the same direction.

"Not far ahead is Luomei Cliff." Qin Youjin introduced, "The scenery there is unique. On one side is a huge stone platform, with a few plum trees blooming in the cracks of the rocks. On the other side is a cliff, adjacent to the valley, with a deep view. His Royal Highness likes it best.

Sit there and enjoy the plum blossoms
