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

"Yes," Gu Nianzhi answered without hesitation, "This is where Master Shu taught me how to spear fish."

The night was dark and the fluorescence was weak. Gu Nianzhi did not notice that Sima Yao's face had turned a little ugly. She pointed to the remains of the fire not far ahead.

"See that? That's where the four of us grilled fish during the day."

"Four?"

"Originally, my master and I were supposed to meet, but Princess Yun'an wanted to find an opportunity to play with Shu Huaiyuan, so I asked her out. When I thought about the two of them being together, I would be very bored, so I also asked Miss Qiluo to accompany me..."

"So, you want to bring Yun'an and Huaiyuan together?" Sima Yao's face seemed to relax a little.

"Lin Heng mentioned to me that Princess Yun'an is Bai Mo's daughter, and the Bai and Shu families have always been at odds. But Princess Yun'an was so affectionate to Master and begged so earnestly that I softened my heart..."

"Don't do this kind of thing in the future." Sima Yao said: "The grudge between the Bai family and the Shu family is not as simple as you think. Shu Huaiyuan will never accept Princess Yun'an. Although we all know that Princess Yun'an is different from the Bai family, simple and lovely, she is still a member of the Bai family after all."

"If Princess Yun'an is not from the Bai family, do you think Shu Huaiyuan will fall in love with him?"

Sima Yao turned his head and looked at Gu Nianzhi.

"I have always thought that Mr. Gu is wise and intelligent, but I didn't expect that you would think so simply about the issue of love between men and women."

Sima Yao sat down on the spot, patted the grass beside him, and motioned Gu Nianzhi to sit next to him.

After Gu Nianzhi sat down, Sima Yao continued speaking.

"Whether it's me or Huaiyuan, we can only marry for profit. Liking or disliking is just a temporary illusion. In the face of profit, it will be broken with a single poke."

"You are indeed different from ordinary people."

The two looked towards the center of the lake, and fireflies flew by from time to time.

Gu Nianzhi recalled the scene when the two of them were catching fireflies by the stream. Although they were facing a life-and-death chase, the happiness at that moment was so direct and simple. Now that everything seems to be safe and there is no danger to their lives, it seems difficult to find that happiness again.

A firefly flew in front of the two people.

It actually flew straight between their ears. Their eyes followed the track of the firefly and they accidentally looked at each other.

The firefly flew away, but the two people's eyes did not continue to move forward with the firefly, but looked at each other.

Time seemed to stand still.

Sima Yao's eyes were clear under the moonlight, and his pupils were like a deep pool, so dark and bright.

Gu Nian was stunned for a moment.

Sima Yao, he is really handsome.

It was Sima Yao who first looked away.

He coughed lightly, turned his head and looked at the lake.

An ambiguous atmosphere suddenly lingered between the two of them.

"It's getting late, Third Prince, we should go back early."

Gu Nianzhi opened his mouth, turned around and met Sima Yao's gaze, and as if he had been electrocuted, he quickly looked away.

She was afraid that she would sink into a man's eyes like this, after all, she was not from this world.

What's more... I am just a man now, how dare I have any improper thoughts about love between men and women.

The ambiguous atmosphere by the lake made both of them feel a little uncomfortable.

After returning to the palace, Sima Yao lay in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep.

I was on the verge of falling asleep several times, but I would always wake up suddenly because Gu Nianzhi's face suddenly appeared in my mind.

After several attempts, he put on his coat and took a walk in the garden under the moonlight.

"Since Nianzhi likes fireflies so much, is it possible to build a water feature in the mansion and catch some fireflies back..."

Thinking of this, Sima Yao was actually somewhat happy and prepared to find someone to implement it the next day.

However, in a flash, I was suddenly frightened by my own thoughts.

"What am I doing?"

"Why would I take the initiative to cater to his preferences?"

"Just a counselor!"

"Why should I care about him?"

"We are all men..."

Sima Yao's mind was in a mess, and he was about to turn around and go back to his room, but he saw Gu Nianzhi leaning against the moon in the pavilion in front of him.

She was wearing a huge cloak that wrapped her entire body, with her face facing the moon. The moonlight made her face look so cold at this moment.

Gu Nianzhi looked at the moon, Sima Yao looked at her.

Two people under the bright moon, each with their own thoughts.

It was not until the wind started and Gu Nianzhi couldn't help sneezing and turned back to her room that Sima Yao left.

The dreams at night are also restless.

He dreamed that he was stabbed and bled a lot.

Gu Nianzhi cried and called his name.

"I'm afraid... I'm afraid you'll die... If you die, I'll die too. I'm still so young... I don't want to die..."

"Sima Yao, wake up, wake up!"

Suddenly, there was another scene. Gu Nianzhi drank sweet water. The water was in a strange container and tasted a bit strange, but the more he drank it, the more he liked it.

Then the two of them stared at each other in silence...

All the scenes are related to Gu Nianzhi.

It was not until he dreamed of Shu Huaiyuan and Gu Nianzhi riding together and circling in the training ground that Sima Yao in the dream angrily shouted "No".

This brought his anxious dream to an abrupt end.

Gu Nianzhi was like a phantom, always appearing in Sima Yao's mind.

He couldn't get rid of it, but he was happy with it.

The next day, Sima Yao and Gu Nianzhi had breakfast together.

Seeing that the two of them were not in good spirits, Lin Heng asked, "Third Prince, what did you and Mr. Gu do behind my back last night? Why do you both have dark circles under your eyes?"

Sima Yao was drinking porridge when he was frightened by Lin Heng's words and choked on his trachea, coughing continuously.

Gu Nianzhi was also very embarrassed. "What are you talking about? What can we do in the middle of the night..."

"I saw you guys riding out on horseback with my own eyes... I shouted for a long time from behind, but you didn't hear me..."

"Oh, you mean this." Sima Yao began to lie with his eyes wide open: "Huaiyuan asked me to take Mr. Gu out to practice horse riding when I have time."

"It's already dark, and we still need to practice horse riding?" Lin Heng looked confused.

"There are special precautions for riding a horse at night. Naturally, you must go out at night." Sima Yao turned his head and looked at Gu Nianzhi: "What do you think, Mr. Gu?"

"Yes, after learning it, I have indeed made a lot of progress."

Gu Nianzhi cooperated.

"But I saw you two riding one horse, how did you practice that?"

"Why do you have so many questions?" Sima Yao put down his chopsticks, which made a "pa" sound on the bowl, and seemed a little angry.

Lin Heng hurriedly ate the porridge in his bowl, not daring to say a word.
