Oh my god, can you play like this?

Gu Shurui and the Fifth Prince stayed together for a while before the Fifth Prince ordered the food to be served.

The reason why Piaoxianglou is so famous in Kyoto is because its dishes are unique in Kyoto.

The Fifth Prince took great pains to recruit a royal chef from the palace, so the dishes naturally taste good.

During the meal, the Fifth Prince said a lot of words to coax Gu Shurui, and Gu Shurui behaved very shyly the whole time. It should be after the Fifth Prince kissed her eyes, Gu Shurui was still immersed in that kiss and couldn't extricate himself, and was still shyly savoring it.

There is no way. A young boy who is just beginning to fall in love is certainly not as experienced in love as the Fifth Prince.

The fifth prince is four years older than Gu Shurui and has a concubine and a young mistress. It would be easy for him to fool Gu Shurui.

The general's mansion does not allow men in the family to take concubines, so naturally they are not even allowed to have maids in the room.

How could such an innocent boy possibly be better than the Fifth Prince in terms of emotions? He was coaxed into being flattered by the Fifth Prince.

"Will it be difficult for you after the general returns home?" Seeing that the other person had been coaxed enough, the Fifth Prince began to get to the point.

When Gu Shurui heard the Fifth Prince asking about Gu Lanzhi, his heart skipped a beat. It wasn't because he was afraid that Gu Lanzhi would snatch the Fifth Prince from him. He knew very well that Gu Lanzhi had no such intention towards the Fifth Prince, otherwise he would not have allowed him to seduce the Fifth Prince.

But when the Fifth Emperor asked about Gu Lanzhi, Gu Shurui was still instinctively afraid. He was afraid of the murderous aura emanating from Gu Lanzhi, and he also felt guilty towards Gu Lanzhi.

But he had no choice but to answer the Fifth Prince's question, so he forced a stiff smile and said, "No."

The fifth prince narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then he sent someone to tell me to come see you twice, what does that mean?"

Gu Shurui felt sad, what else could it mean? He doesn't like you so he wants me to be a shield for him.

"Why...I...actually I begged Third Brother. I missed the Fifth Prince too much and you avoided me, so I had no choice but to ask Third Brother for help."

The fifth prince frowned after hearing this. How could he possibly believe this?

Apart from anything else, his younger brother snatched his fiancé while he was away from the capital. No one could let this go easily. The Fifth Prince could not believe that Gu Lanzhi had no grudges at all.

But what Gu Shurui said could only mean that some kind of deal was reached between the two men. The Fifth Prince came to see Gu Shurui today just to find out what kind of deal the two men had reached.

"Then...about the two of us...didn't the general say anything?"

Gu Shurui looked up at the Fifth Prince blankly, "What did you say?"

Although Gu Shurui is not smart, he is not stupid! How could he tell the Fifth Prince about the agreement between him and Gu Lanzhi?

If he didn't say it, he and the fifth prince might still be together, and his mother might still be protected.

If he told the Fifth Prince everything, not only would the Fifth Prince not cancel the engagement with Gu Lanzhi, he would probably hold Gu Lanzhi even tighter. Then what chance would Gu Shurui have?

So Gu Shurui's performance was very smooth, it really seemed as if Gu Lanzhi hadn't said anything to him, it was just the brother helping the younger brother.

The Fifth Prince looked at Gu Shurui's face and really couldn't see any sign of acting at all, which made the Fifth Prince a little overwhelmed.

Could it be that the relationship between these two brothers is really so good that Gu Lanzhi doesn't mind what Gu Shurui did at all?

The fifth prince is a prince, born into a royal family. How could he be so easily deceived?

Although he didn't see anything from Gu Shurui's reaction, he didn't believe what Gu Shurui said.

"Shu Rui, the man I'm engaged to is a great general after all. Although I have you in my heart, I can't go against my father's will. We..."

I haven't said everything, but anyone who is not a fool can understand it.

Gu Shurui's tears came instantly. It was both an act and true emotion. Big tears flowed down his cheeks.

"I know, I know that it's you and my third brother who are engaged, but can you not know Shu Rui's feelings?

I have been wanting to see you these days because I want to tell you in person that I want to ask my third brother to change the engagement with you to mine..."

"What?" Before Gu Shurui had even finished his words, the Fifth Prince was so shocked that he stood up and lost his usual composure.

Originally, Gu Shurui's tears were flowing smoothly, but the Fifth Prince's reaction was so shocking that Gu Shurui's tears stopped.

"Brother Yun, you..."

The Fifth Prince realized that he had lost his composure and quickly sat back next to Gu Shurui, patting his back soothingly.

"It's okay, it's okay. I just didn't react for a moment. Don't be afraid, Shu Rui."

Gu Shurui smiled bitterly in his heart. How could he not understand why the Fifth Prince reacted so strongly? But what could he do? He just pretended that he knew nothing.

"Brother Yun doesn't want to?"

The Fifth Prince wanted to say, "Of course I don't want to," but he still patiently comforted Gu Shurui, "It's not that I don't want to. My engagement with the general was granted by my father. How can I change his words?"

Gu Shurui held the Fifth Prince's hand with tenderness in his eyes, and held the Fifth Prince's hand in his own palm, "I have thought about it. The emperor is very happy that Third Brother has returned victorious this time. I believe that at this time, let Third Brother tell His Majesty that the marriage contract should be changed to me. His Majesty will agree to it because of Third Brother's contribution.

Besides, it’s not like I’m breaking off the engagement. I’m just changing the person in the engagement to me.

Third brother is not in good health and cannot attend the court yet. When he can attend the court, I will ask him to speak to His Majesty."

The Fifth Prince was so anxious! He felt so miserable! He really wanted to slap Gu Shurui in the face so that he would wake up!

Can Gu Shurui be compared with Gu Lanzhi? One is the fourth son of the general's mansion, and the other is a popular general who just returned from victory. Are these two people of the same weight?

If Gu Lanzhi died on the battlefield, you, Gu Shurui, would indeed be useful. But Gu Lanzhi is back, with military power and influence in the court. Can you, Gu Shurui, compare with him?

But the Fifth Prince couldn't really say this, so he felt very uncomfortable holding it in. He couldn't let Gu Shurui see any problem and had to coax Gu Shurui.

"Shu Rui, this matter is not urgent..."

"Why aren't you in a hurry? Doesn't Brother Yun want to marry Shu Rui?"

The Fifth Prince really wanted to bite off his tongue. The three words "I don't want to marry" were about to slip out of his mouth, but he forced himself to hold them back.

"Shu Rui, look, the general just came back and was seriously injured. We can't use our affairs to provoke him anymore, right?"

The Fifth Prince wanted to continue speaking, but when he saw Gu Shurui's accusing look, he didn't say anything.

"Brother Yun, you really don't want Shu Rui anymore, right? You're saying so much now because you don't want to break off your engagement with Third Brother and marry me, right?

You really want to give up Shu Rui for the help that Third Brother can bring you, right?"
