The prince loves me like his life, but I force him to rebel

Gu Nianzhi took the peach blossom pastry but did not eat it. Instead, she continued to ask questions.

"How would I know if you don't tell me?"

"You know everything about astronomy and geography, so how come you can't guess even the smallest bit of my thoughts?" Sima Yao raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on the peach blossom pastry that Gu Nianzhi had not eaten a bite of.

"People's minds are hard to predict. Just tell me directly. I don't like guessing."

"What's the point of having to say it myself?"

"You want me to guess, what does this mean?"

As soon as Gu Nianzhi finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

This really sounds like a funny joke I've seen before, when a boyfriend and girlfriend are arguing.

"You should at least have a bite of the peach blossom pastry." Sima Yao stretched out his hand and brought Gu Nianzhi's hand holding the peach blossom pastry to her mouth: "Today I went to the Empress Dowager's place and tasted a piece that tasted good. I thought you liked to eat pastries, so I brought it back for you."

Gu Nianzhi took a light bite. The peach blossom pastry was soft and glutinous with a strong sweet fragrance, as well as an aroma mixed with rice flour and milk. It was indeed a top-grade product.

"Well, it's delicious."

Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but stuff the rest into her mouth.

"Slow down, no one will compete with you."

Sima Yao pushed a cup of tea over, as if he was afraid that Gu Nianzhi would choke.

"I brought you a whole plate from the Empress Dowager. But you went to Jiya Pavilion, and I didn't have time to give it to you. If you had come back earlier, these cakes wouldn't have been broken like this."

"Whether it's broken or not, don't they all taste the same?"

"How can they be the same? A whole is better than being cut in half."

Sima Yao seemed to be talking about the pastries in front of him, but also seemed to be talking about something else.

Gu Nianzhi tilted her head and looked at Sima Yao.

"I always feel like you're a little weird today. Tell me, who offended you?"

Sima Yao pursed his lips, glanced at Gu Nian, and ate half a piece of peach blossom cake angrily.

"If you don't tell me, I won't ask you again. Even if you want to tell me, I won't listen."

Gu Nianzhi's calm demeanor ignited Sima Yao's anger once again.

"Who else could it be? It's all because of you."

"I?"

Gu Nianzhi's mouth opened into an O shape.

"Yes, you're the one who made me so angry."

"You entered the palace early this morning. When you came back, I had already gone to Jiya Pavilion. We didn't even meet. How could I have offended you?"

He was so angry that he drank to drown his sorrows, but the culprit looked so innocent that Sima Yao could not help but raise his voice several octaves higher.

"You...you went to Jiya Pavilion and had sex with Qiluo...had sex with Qiluo." Sima Yao stood up angrily and pointed at the peach blossom cake on the table. "I even remembered to bring you a piece of cake to taste. Let me ask you, when you were having sex with Qiluo, did you ever think about my feelings?"

Gu Nianzhi hasn't come to her senses yet. What's wrong with chatting with her bestie and talking about personal matters?

She still looked at Sima Yao with a blank look.

"How do you feel?"

"Yes, that's how I feel!"

Gu Nianzhi seemed to finally understand something.

She went to see Qiluo with the intention of meeting her best friend, but in Sima Yao's eyes, she was just going to meet a girl for a drink.

Could it be that Sima Yao was jealous of me for finding Qi Luo?

Isn't this too funny? Thinking of this, Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"dare you laugh?"

Sima Yao felt like he was going crazy.

He knew he shouldn't say it.

He is a prince, but he is competing with a prostitute for Gu Nianzhi and is jealous of a prostitute!

Although he was extremely reluctant to admit it, the facts were right in front of him.

He's going crazy.

Just when he was about to burst into tears with anger, Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, "You are really cute when I laugh."

"cute?"

Although he felt it was strange that Gu Nianzhi used the word "cute" to describe him, Sima Yao's anger seemed to be suppressed.

"Yeah." Gu Nianzhi stood up, hugged Sima Yao's waist, put her ear on his chest, listened to his surging heartbeat, and said softly: "Sima Yao, I really have never seen a man as lovely as you. I really, like you. Really."

It was like he had ascended from hell to heaven, or like someone had stuffed the sweetest plum into his mouth after he had taken the bitterest Chinese medicine. Sima Yao's anger was instantly and completely extinguished.

Despite this, he still used his remaining rationality to weakly ask his question.

"But, but I know everything about what happened between you and Qiluo today... in Jiya Pavilion..."

Gu Nianzhi was shocked. Could it be that Sima Yao knew the secret of her chest binding?

"You know everything? You know what."

Sima Yao pouted slightly and said aggrievedly: "I knew you went to Jiya Pavilion and was unhappy, so I went there too. Who knew that in front of Qiluo's door, I heard your groaning voices. You...you moaned so unrestrainedly that I couldn't bear to hear it."

"Unruly? Can't bear to hear it?"

"Yes, so I didn't push the door open, and you guys just pissed me off and left."

“Did I scream ‘Ahhh’ like this?” Gu Nianzhi imitated the sound she made when Qi Luo pressed on her breasts and she couldn’t help but scream in pain.

"Don't listen to anything indecent... But it's almost like this."

Gu Nianzhi was having a hard time holding back her laughter, so she teased Sima Yao on purpose.

"It's like this in brothels. If you like, you can go and give it a try."

Sima Yao's face turned slightly red, he took a small step back with some disgust, and his expression became a little unsightly.

"I know, I know that our relationship is not something that can be put on the table, and I don't dare to ask Mr. Gu to give up his love for me and ignore Miss Qiluo, but I only know that I am devoted to Mr. Gu and there will be no one else."

Gu Nianzhi was actually somewhat touched.

Is Sima Yao confessing his feelings to himself?

Sima Yao continued, "I only have one love for this person. No matter if it's a man or a woman, there is only one person."

Gu Nianzhi looked at Sima Yao in front of her infatuatedly. He seemed to really love her very much.

Sima Yao's eyes were deep, and he spoke each word in a very serious tone.

"It's human nature for you to like women. Sima Yao only asks you to keep it a secret from me when you go to Jiya Pavilion in the future. I really didn't know that I would be so sad."

Gu Nianzhi put away the smile on his face.

Sima Yao's true heart is right in front of him, and he really shouldn't take this as a joke.

She really wanted to slap herself twice.

When Sima Yao recalled what he had heard in Jiya Pavilion today in front of him, he actually thought it was just ridiculous.

——Look, that man is so stupid, he thought I, a woman dressed as a man, went to Jiya Pavilion to drink and have fun!

——He actually thought there was something going on between him and Qiluo, and he was jealous! So funny,

It's not funny. It's really not funny at all.
