The prince's wife is even more cruel, and the weak prince is afraid of his wife.

"Well, so, can I give you a hug?" Jiang Yubai said weakly, coughing a few times as he spoke.

"No, you have to get used to it." Gu Qianyue refused decisively. After all, he was going to the battlefield. No matter whether he was really scared or pretending to be scared, he had to learn to get used to these scenes.

"Okay, let's hold hands." Jiang Yubai didn't get angry. He just gave a reasonable reason and held Gu Qianyue's hand again.

He seems to like holding his hand very much. Could it be that he also has a system in his body that needs my energy?

"Impossible, there aren't that many smart people in this world to create so many systems." Xiao Lan complained.

"You are so smart, have you ever thought that one day you will need to recharge?"

Xiao Lan laughed it off awkwardly. If Qianqian didn’t come to him for recharge next time, he would be locked up in a dark room for the rest of his life.

Woo woo woo, this system is too difficult.

"Let's find a place where we can talk alone?" Gu Qianyue looked at Jiang Yubai, who was pretending to be pitiful, with interest.

"Okay, let's go to my study." After saying that, he took her hand and left, and stopped the guards and maids who wanted to follow.

Jiang Yubai put away all the books on the table as soon as he arrived at the study. Then he raised his chin slightly and said, "Qianqian, is there anything you want to discuss with me?"

Gu Qianyue just raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course it's a matter of cooperation."

"How can we cooperate?" Jiang Yubai felt a pang in his heart when he heard what she said. It was just like what my mother said, Qianqian didn't like me.

But it was not noticeable on his face, and his eyes became much dimmer.

Gu Qianyue stood quietly in front of the study window, the sunlight shining softly on her body through the translucent window paper.

Her figure is upright and elegant, like a beautiful painting.

After a while, he said, "Anyway, I can't get rid of the Gu family and you in the short term, so how about we have a temporary cooperation?

When you get what you want, we will part ways, and you must cancel the engagement no matter what. This is my only request."

Jiang Yubai watched her place her hands gently on the windowsill, her fingers long and slender.

There was a gentle breeze blowing outside the window, bringing a hint of fresh air and a faint fragrance. It seemed to be the scent of osmanthus or some other flower, but it smelled very good.

At this quiet moment, Gu Qianyue seemed to merge with the whole world. This scene was still imprinted in his mind many years later.

Seeing that Jiang Yubai didn't answer for a long time, Gu Qianyue thought that he was considering the matter, so she didn't rush him and waited quietly for his answer.

Jiang Yubai was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "During this period, it doesn't matter what I do."

Although Gu Qianyue was puzzled as to why he asked this question, she still nodded slightly.

Jiang Yubai started laughing after getting a positive answer. His laugh was extremely bright, but it didn't last long before he started coughing again.

Although Gu Qianyue has seen him smile many times, she is still amazed by his smile. If this smile were seen by others, how many young ladies from aristocratic families would fall into his arms?

"Xiao Lan, how long do you think he can keep smiling like this?"

"Once he goes to the battlefield, it probably won't exist anymore." Xiao Lan said, touching his chin.

Once a person kills the first person, his facial features will begin to change drastically, and he will definitely not be as elegant as he is now.

After Jiang Yubai finished coughing, he said, "It's a pleasure to work with you. I will definitely do my best on this matter."

"That's great. I hope you remember what I said today and don't regret it later."

"That's great. I hope you remember what I said today and don't regret it later."

Jiang Yubai smiled and said, "How could I be the kind of person who doesn't keep his word? Just relax, as long as you and I work together, we will be able to achieve our respective goals soon."

As for whether to cancel the engagement or not, that is a matter for the future. Thinking of this, he gave another sly smile.

Gu Qianyue looked at Jiang Yubai. Seeing him being so straightforward, she still had doubts in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.

"That's good. I hope we can all get what we want." Then he left the study, and Jiang Yubai followed closely behind.

The frightened maids and nannies had nightmares for many days in a row. They couldn't help but go to people they knew to complain about Miss Gu San's cruelty.

Gradually, rumors spread in the capital that the Third Miss Gu was vicious, but while some people believed it, there were naturally others who were skeptical.

As for the rumor that Gu Qianyue tried to please the Queen Mother in order to help herself and the Prince, it was thus refuted.

The maids didn't know that their long tongue had bought them another chance to live.

Jiang Yubai was originally going to punish those who humiliated Gu Qianyue, but he didn't expect that they had dispelled the rumors in advance. So let's give them a chance to make up for their mistakes.

"Miss, you've come at the right time. Old man Zhang has already made it. Try it." Liu Yue introduced in a familiar manner.

Sure enough, when it comes to eating, nothing can stop her.

Jiang Yubai followed closely behind, and at the same time found the gap beside Gu Qianyue, Liu Yue.

Unexpectedly, this maid who had always been hostile to me actually liked food.

"Old Zhang?" Gu Qianyue asked doubtfully.

"That's the person we rescued from the Grand Princess' Palace." Xiao Lan added as she searched for information.

No wonder I felt that the white-haired old man looked familiar when I saw him just now. I couldn’t remember him at all. I didn’t expect that he was still in Prince Ming’s Palace.

"He is my grandfather. He has always wanted to thank you in person." Jiang Yubai stood behind Gu Qianyue and said in her ear.

From a distance, it looked like Jiang Yubai was hugging Gu Qianyue from behind.

Yang Weizhou woke up and came over to see this scene.

I didn't expect Xiaobai to make such a great sacrifice to get Miss Gu San into the game. I really admire him.

"Hahaha, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. What delicious food are you cooking this time, Lao Zhang?" Yang Weizhou came over following the fragrance.

As he said this, he reached out to the plate to take a piece of meat, but Old Man Zhang opened it with chopsticks.

"It's unruly. Can't you see there are guests?" Old man Zhang pointed at Gu Qianyue and said, besides, the pig was killed by a girl, so he had to wait for her to take a seat first.

Just by looking at the way they get along with each other, you can tell that they are both people who don’t care about details.

"Guest?" If they are so familiar with each other, can they still be considered guests?

Yang Weizhou glanced at the two of them with a puzzled look. He didn't expect that Miss Gu San was so beautiful at such a young age. No wonder Jiang Yubai was also fascinated by her.

"Miss Gu San, please take a seat." Old Man Zhang gestured.

Gu Qianyue sat down without any pretense. After everyone was seated, Old Man Zhang began to introduce them.

"This dish is made with the pig heart that Miss Gu just killed, and it's called Ama Zun Meat.

Because we didn’t have enough time, I made a simple dish with pig heart, pig liver, pig tail, pig ears, and pig intestines cut into cubes and put together. Add the special ingredients I made, and the taste is absolutely amazing. Try it.”

"Try the pig heart soup, too." While saying this, Old Man Zhang did not stop adding the side dishes and scooping the soup.

"Hmm, it's really delicious." Everyone sighed.

When Butler Mu saw this scene, he began to reminisce about the past. When the Marquis was still alive, he would also have meals and get together with the soldiers, and he never cared about trivial matters.

Ever since the death of the Marquis, there hasn't been such a harmonious scene between master and servant in the Ming Palace for a long time. They have always been suspicious, either guarding against this or that.

Unexpectedly, the arrival of Miss Gu San today broke this situation. Everyone felt more relaxed and there was more laughter.

The prince's face also had many more smiles.

"Well, not bad." Gu Qianyue tasted all the dishes one by one and said that this person was not saved in vain.

Xiao Lan, how much silver do you think I should pay to hire him as a chef in the restaurant?
