Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

In Kyoto, news about Prince Duan always spreads very quickly.

Earlier, before Feng Zhanye left the palace, he was assassinated by Cao Shuyi. He used his own strength to protect himself and found out the real murderer of Concubine Hui and the Seventh Prince. The news had already spread throughout Kyoto.

Small vendors on the street, women in the alleys, and storytellers in teahouses were all telling rumors about this incident.

However, this rumor has completely overturned Feng Zhanye's image as a villain in the minds of the people, and also made the voices praising Lord Zuo Xiang even louder.

Of course, there were doubting voices among the crowd, but the facts were before them. The current emperor personally issued an edict to grant the palace, making it impossible for them not to believe it.

Today, the reputation of the word "Prince Duan" has undergone a drastic reversal, and it is difficult not to hear the news in the villa of the prime minister's mansion.

At noon, Qiu Jiang and Qiu Hong went out to buy some things, and soon they hurried back to the villa.

"Slow down, slow down. I am an old woman who is not as nimble as you young people. You are so mysterious and came back without even buying any food. What happened?"

Nanny Liu was curiously pulled into the kitchen by the two men. When she saw Gu Qingzhi and Wu Fang were there, she knew that things were not simple.

Qiu Hong helped Madam Liu sit down at the table, and Qiu Jiang could not wait to point outside and said, "We just went to the street, and it was so busy. They all said that the current emperor suddenly gave our prince a palace and chose the noble Consort De to raise him!"

Qiu Jiang danced excitedly and used gestures to tell the story. Aunt Liu seemed to be infected by her and nodded continuously.

"Okay, okay, it looks like our Highness has succeeded this time."

Wu Fang also jumped up and down following Qiu Jiang.

"Young Master has done a great job this time. If we follow him in the future, won't we be able to enjoy a good life and never have to worry about the Zuo family's faces again?"

Although Gu Qingzhi knew that he would succeed, she did not look as excited as they did, but she did feel a little emotional in her heart.

With today's result, she is one step closer to revenge. The Zuo Xiang and his son will no longer be able to manipulate Feng Zhan Ye at will. From now on, she can do her best.

After listening to Qiu Hong's account of the details, everyone was happy for a long while. Although Nanny Liu was nervous, she also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the bad guy had been brought to justice.

"His Highness has been too exhausted these past two days. Although we want to celebrate, we cannot make him too tired. Let's clean up the yard and prepare a good meal to welcome His Highness."

"It just so happens that the soft pillow for your highness is almost ready. I will try to finish it as soon as possible so that we can greet your highness outside the door when he returns."

Several people agreed in unison and went their separate ways to prepare.

Wu Fang was cleaning the yard, Qiu Jiang and Qiu Hong were still out shopping, Nanny Liu went back to the room to sew pillows, and Gu Qingzhi went to clean the back hall on her own initiative.

In the evening, the Gao family's carriage stopped outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. Feng Zhanye saw from afar several people standing at the door, looking at him.

Apparently they had heard the news and were waiting for him to return.

Thinking of that thin figure, the young man could no longer hold back his anticipation, jumped off the carriage and walked towards the gate.

Nanny Liu was the first to come forward.

The old woman held the boy's hand, tears flashing in her eyes.

"Mammy, I'm back."

Feng Zhanye smiled at her.

Madam Liu kept nodding her head: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. This trip was so dangerous, Your Highness is not injured, right?"

Feng Zhanye shook his head: "Don't worry, Madam. I'm fine."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked behind Nanny Liu.

The young man looked around. Everyone was there, except the person he wanted to see the most.

His heart sank, and he asked, "Mammy, where's Ah Zhi?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Wu Fang scratched his head belatedly, "Eh? Why didn't Brother Gu come out? I just called him specially."

Hearing this, the young man's face stiffened slightly. Aunt Liu noticed that something was wrong with him, so she slapped Wu Fang and quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Guard Xiao is probably tidying up the room in the back hall. I just changed the pillow and mattress for you. I asked him to make the bed. Let's go back to the room and you will be able to see him."

Although Feng Zhanye nodded, his expression did not relax. He just walked into the door surrounded by several people.

In the back hall, Gu Qingzhi was combing Xiaohua's hair when she heard the door being pushed open.

She looked up and saw the boy's familiar features.

"Aye, you're back, how's everything going?"

Gu Qingzhi put Xiaohua on the couch and stood up to greet her.

The young man still felt a little chilly from outside. He paused before slowly closing the door behind him.

His narrow eyes stared at her for a moment, then slowly moved away.

"It went pretty well."

He said this indifferently, and simply walked around her and took off his cloak.

Gu Qingzhi reached out to take it, and Feng Zhanye handed it over subconsciously. When his hand was about to touch her fingers, he paused for a moment, put his cloak aside, and picked up Xiaohua on the couch to touch her.

Gu Qingzhi was stunned, feeling that his reaction was somewhat strange.

She was about to ask for details when the boy slowly raised his eyes to meet hers.

"Sister Azhi, how have you been these past two days?"

Gu Qingzhi didn't understand, so she answered honestly, "It's nothing special. Everyone just cleans the house and does farm work or something like that."

She didn't notice that the boy's face darkened a little.

"anything else?"

Gu Qingzhi thought for a moment and continued, "There's not much movement in the main residence, it's pretty quiet."

"Any more?"

Gu Qingzhi didn't quite understand what he meant. She was stunned for a long time before she spoke again: "Generally speaking, nothing happened in the villa these two days. You can rest assured."

The boy's face darkened, and he opened his mouth slightly: "Well... I've been away for so long, do you have anything you want to say to me?"

Gu Qingzhi was even more confused. Wasn't it good news that everything was stable in the other courtyard? Why did she look even more unhappy when she saw him?

This child's mind is becoming increasingly difficult to understand.

Seeing him holding Xiaohua and gently scratching its chin, Gu Qingzhi tentatively said, "Uh... Xiaohua stole two pieces of meat from the kitchen yesterday and was lectured by Aunt Liu, but Aunt Liu gave it back half a piece in the end."

Feng Zhanye looked at her speechlessly, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

Still not right?

Gu Qingzhi was still thinking, but the young man sighed: "Forget it, Aunt Liu just asked us to have dinner, Sister Azhi, go first, I will come later."

Gu Qingzhi couldn't stand this weird atmosphere, and couldn't help asking, "Aye, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?"

The person on the couch was silent for a moment, and there seemed to be a light flashing in his eyes. Feng Zhanye put Xiaohua on the couch, stood up and walked step by step to Gu Qingzhi.

The handsome face gradually approached, and a meaningful look passed across her eyebrows.

The boy seemed to be intentionally using his current height to oppress her. The distance between them was already very close, but he still had no intention of stopping, but instead moved his head closer.

Their breath was so close, Gu Qingzhi stared at him meaninglessly, motionless. The boy's eyes drooped slightly, scanning from the mouth and nose.

His mood seemed to be getting worse.

Then, a faint sigh sounded from above, and the boy's unique scent came to his face.

Feng Zhanye suddenly leaned over, put his head on her neck, and took a deep breath. Before she could react, a pair of hands appeared on her waist.
