He took a breath and looked sharply at Wen Xun'er, who stuck out her tongue provocatively at him.

Just at this moment, a bright line of sight came from a distance. Wen Xun'er followed the line of sight and saw Gu Yunzhi sitting in the crowd, looking in their direction with dark eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

The smile on Wen Xun'er's face froze and he immediately looked away.

The banquet finally started.

In the center of the banquet hall was a huge open-air venue. As soon as the musical instruments sounded, a luxuriously dressed dancer walked into the venue with lotuses and danced to the music.

The wind blew, bringing bursts of fragrance, and a circle of flowers were placed around the edge of the venue.

Wen Xun'er relaxed and watched the singing and dancing, eating a few bites of food from time to time and sipping a few sips of fruit wine. When she came back to her senses, the sky had completely darkened. It was only then that she realized that Xiao Jiwei was missing.

She subconsciously looked at Li Yunni at the next table, only to find that Li Yunni was also missing!

This bitch refuses to see Li Yunni, but secretly goes to see him in private. He is getting bolder and bolder!

Wen Xun'er finished the glass of fruit wine in his hand and stood up decisively.

"Ms. Wen, be careful!"

Someone from the palace helped her in time, and Wen Xun'er realized that her head had been shaking just now.

"This fruit wine is actually a bit intoxicating!"

The palace attendant laughed: "Although fruit wine is not strong, it is wine after all. If you drink too much, you will get sick!"

It's true, but it's trivial at this level!

Wen Xun'er greeted Mrs. Xu and left with a palace attendant.

As soon as she left, she realized that most of the young people at the palace banquet had left, and those who stayed behind were almost all the officials and their wives.

In the venue outside, the ladies were sitting together in twos and threes chatting, and some gentlemen were even reciting poems to each other. Perhaps it was the darkness of the night, or perhaps it was because of the royal palace banquet. At this time, the ladies and gentlemen became bolder, and some even came in pairs.

Walking together in pairs!

Wen Xun'er searched around and found neither Xiao Jiwei nor Li Yunni.

She concluded in her mind that the two people were in the same place, so she called the palace attendant behind her: "Have you seen His Highness Ninth Prince?"

Among the emperor's sons, the Ninth Prince has always been the most eye-catching. The little maids like him behind him should also pay attention to Gu Yunzhi's whereabouts.

As expected, the palace official actually saw it!

"This slave just saw His Highness Ninth Prince leaving the table and heading south!"

South?

Wen Xun'er identified Fang Xi, and after getting the palace man's approval, he looked in that direction.

As she got further away from the crowd, the surrounding area gradually became quieter. The palace man walked in front with a lantern, and she started looking around.

It was so dark that every person he saw had to be distinguished carefully. Wen Xun'er's search was very difficult!

Just when she searched around and was about to give up, she suddenly heard several voices coming from far away. Just as she was about to follow the direction of the sound, she ran into a wall of flesh.

"Well..." Wen Xun'er covered his head and raised his head. He was so close that he happened to see Gu Yunzhi's clear and handsome face.

At this moment, Gu Yunzhi was holding her arm to prevent her from falling.

"Wen Xun'er?" A surprised voice came from the side. Wen Xun'er turned his head and saw that the third prince Gu Ying's eyes widened, as if he was surprised to meet her here.

"I've met the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince!"

Wen Xun'er quickly took a step back and saluted the two of them, then looked at Gu Ying and said, "Third Prince, can you step aside for a moment? I want to have a few words with the Ninth Prince alone!"

Surprise flashed across Gu Yunzhi's eyes. Before Gu Ying could answer, he turned his head and said, "Third brother, please go back first."

Gu Ying swallowed the "no" that was stuck in his throat.

"Okay."

He shook the folding fan and reluctantly left.

Wen Xun'er glanced at the maid behind him. The maid understood and immediately walked away with the lantern. Suddenly, only the two of them were left.

A gust of wind blew their clothes, but neither of them spoke.

Wen Xun'er was thinking about how to speak, but Gu Yunzhi was clearly waiting for her.

"Nine……"

"What's the matter?"

The two spoke at the same time, and Gu Yunzhi frowned.

Wen Xun'er immediately cleared his throat and decisively said everything he wanted to say: "Your Highness, Ninth Prince, although our engagement has long been over, there are some things that I feel it is necessary to give you an explanation for."

Gu Yunzhi said nothing, obviously waiting for her to continue.

"Before last year, I had always regarded you as the ideal husband. But after experiencing life and death, I realized the distance between me and you, and from then on I no longer wanted to marry into the royal family."

"The marriage decree was an accident. I really didn't expect that Concubine Yue would match us up like this. But the decree has been issued, and I can only accept the reality. I had originally planned to fulfill my engagement, but it's a pity that things didn't work out as I wished.

Sick with disease, covered with pus

Sores... At that time, I heard the imperial doctor said that I was likely to be scarred and disfigured, and I panicked. On the one hand, my appearance was definitely not worthy of the royal family. On the other hand, what daughter's family doesn't love beauty?

After much struggle, I asked my father to break off the engagement!"

"As for Xiao Jiwei, it was decided by my father for me. I have never thought about marrying him, and there is absolutely no love between childhood sweethearts! I can swear to God, before I was fourteen, I did like you.

, there is no such thing as eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. So, can you let go?"

"Relief for what?"

"It's just a matter between you and me. It starts innocently and ends innocently. There is absolutely no third person in the middle. It's all a matter of fate. Can you understand it?"

"Is this how you understand it?"

"Otherwise?" Wen Xun'er asked back, "But I also know that you like Miss Li. Although things have twists and turns, fortunately, everything is back on track. Then everything with me is just an episode. But if you

If you really mind, I can sincerely apologize to you!"

After saying that, she took a step back and bowed ninety degrees to Gu Yunzhi: "I'm sorry, Ninth Prince, but I would like to ask you to have enough time to let the bad relationship in the past become a thing of the past. Just pretend that nothing happened, okay?

"

Before she could stand up while bowing, she saw a pair of boots passing in front of her eyes.

Gu Yunzhi left.

He actually left without answering?!

"Your Highness, have you accepted it or not?" Wen Xun'er chased after him.

Seeing that Gu Yunzhi didn't answer, she simply stopped in front of him: "I think it is necessary to settle this matter today to avoid any embarrassment when we meet in the future!"

Gu Yunzhi stopped and looked at her face seriously: "Everything is your decision, whether it is an engagement or annulment, Wen Xun'er, if you really treat me as the ninth prince, you should ask me

opinions, rather than being good at making opinions from beginning to end!”
