After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

"I know you've never had feelings for Yuan Xu and have always wanted to cancel the engagement. It's just that it happened so suddenly that you don't know how to answer me now, right?"

Helan Xuenuo really wanted to escape. She couldn't bear the sight of Gu Yanli's affectionate look, especially when she thought about the three children he and Qi Didi had in his previous life.

She forced a smile and said, "Your Highness, I have been stubborn since I was a child. Once I make up my mind about something, I will never change it. Yuan Xu and I have been childhood sweethearts, and I cannot let him down."

Helan Xuenuo didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she could only use Yuan Xu as a shield. However, Gu Yanli's sudden declaration of love really caught her off guard.

Gu Yanli was also an extraordinary person. Even after Helan Xuenuo repeatedly refused, his expression remained gentle, without a trace of anger. He still smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you."

Helan Xuenuo stood up and saluted, "Your Highness, Yuanxu's younger brother Yuanzhao is outside with my maid. I promised to take good care of little Yuanzhao, so I have to leave now. We will talk again some other day. If I am fortunate enough to attend your wedding ceremony, I will definitely bring you a generous gift as a token of my gratitude."

After Helan Xuenuo finished speaking, she ran away in a hurry without waiting for Gu Yanli to say anything. She really couldn't stay for another quarter of an hour.

Before leaving the house, General Helan specifically told her to stay away from the Second Prince. It seemed that it was not that simple that the Second Prince happened to appear in Wenxiang Tower when she went out today. And there was no sense of loss in Gu Yanli's eyes despite her repeated rejections. She could see that Gu Yanli did not love her.

There is only one possibility, that Gu Yanli is interested in the Helan Mansion behind her.

It seems that the reason why Qi Didi was able to marry Gu Yanli in the previous life was mostly because she had such a scandal, and Qi Didi recommended herself. If the Second Prince married Qi Didi, he would have the support of the Prince's Mansion and the Helan Mansion.

All thoughts are sorted out.

She couldn't help but smile.

Just as she thought, in her previous life, after Helan Xuenuo married into the palace, Qi Didi approached the Second Prince and, having changed her previous attitude of inferiority, said, "Second Prince, as long as you marry me, I can guarantee that you will have the support of both the palace and the Helan Palace."

"How do you guarantee that?"

"Why don't you take a gamble? All I want is the position of concubine. If I'm lying to you, you can kill me. If what I say is true, I will surely help you ascend to the lofty throne. But if you ascend to the throne, I must become the queen."

"it is good."

Everything is under Qi Didi's control. She wears a phoenix crown and a red bridal robe, a beauty in red, and dozens of boxes of jewelry prepared by General Helan and Madam Helan. She marries into the prince's mansion in a grand manner.

When Helan Xuenuo came out of Wenxiang Tower, she saw Xiao Yuanzhao holding a string of candy balls in his left and right hands.

Xiao Zhu also had a piece in her hand. She bit down and ate one. Her left cheek was bulging with stuff, but it didn't affect her speech. "Girl, why are you so panicked?"

"Don't mention it, it's incomprehensible." Helan Xuenuo was having a headache.

Xiao Zhu opened her eyes wide and said, "Miss, could it be that the young man admires you?"

Helan Xuenuo made a hushing gesture to Xiaozhu, and pulled Xiaozhu and Xiao Yuanzhao to walk in another direction.

"That is the current Second Prince."

"What?" Xiao Zhu was surprised. A candy ball got stuck in her throat and made her cough.

"I can see that he doesn't love me."

"Then why is he courting you? The Second Prince! If you marry the Second Prince, you will have the chance to become..." Xiao Zhu no longer had the appetite to eat the candy ball.

"He only has his eyes on the Helan Mansion. His appearance at Wenxiang Tower today is indeed too coincidental. I'm sure he must have sent someone to follow him."

"So..." Xiao Zhu touched his head, confused.

Seeing Xiao Zhu's confused look, Helan Xuenuo knew that Xiao Zhu's brain was very limited and couldn't handle all these messy things. "Forget it, I'm telling you that you might not understand. Let's pay more attention in the future."

"Miss, I understand. This Second Prince is ambitious and has many evil schemes. Be careful."

"Yes."

Helan Xuenuo remembered that there was a little dumpling beside her. She looked down and saw little Yuanzhao eating the candy ball intently, taking a bite from the left and then a bite from the right.

Watching Xiao Yuanzhao chewing the sugar coating of the candy ball, a sense of familiarity came over her at that moment, and she realized that she had seen Xiao Yuanzhao before.

In her previous life, she and Xiao Zhu sneaked out of the palace, and came out of Wenxiang Tower after eating Drunken Chicken. At that time, Xiao Yuanzhao was also biting the sugar coating of the candy ball and handed a box of sour jujube cake to Helan Xuenuo.

Helan Xuonuo recognized this sour jujube cake. All the sour jujube cakes made by the pastry shop in Liancheng would be printed with a red seal with the word "Liancheng".

At that time she asked little Yuanzhao, "Whose family are you from?"

Little Yuanzhao avoided her gaze and looked back, then turned back and said innocently, "Sister, you are a fairy! Mother said that sour jujube cake is the favorite food of fairies."

Before she could ask any more questions, Xiao Yuanzhao slipped away.

Coming back to her senses, she looked at Xiao Yuanzhao, who was still eating the candy balls, and asked curiously, "Xiao Yuanzhao, have you ever tried Liancheng's sour jujube cake?"

"What is that? Is it delicious?" Xiao Yuanzhao looked up at Helan Xuenuo, still chewing on the candy ball in his mouth.

If Xiao Yuanzhao had never eaten sour jujube cake, why did she get a bag of it in her previous life?

She couldn't figure it out, but she didn't want to think about it anymore. Looking at Xiao Yuanzhao being so naughty, maybe it was because he ate the sour jujube cake later and happened to meet her. It just happened that she was lucky.

However, when she recalled how little Yuanzhao praised her as a fairy in her previous life, she felt very happy. Since she was a child, everyone would praise her for being cute, but no one had ever seriously praised her for being pretty.

She looked at Xiao Yuanzhao, nodded in agreement, and uttered a few words, "You have good taste."

Xiao Zhu heard Helan Xuenuo's voice and blinked and asked, "Who has good taste? Are you talking about me, girl?"

"Yeah."

"Hehe, that's natural. I've been judging people by my feelings since I was a child. Don't I have good taste?" Xiao Zhu laughed proudly.

While chatting and laughing, they walked to the bustling part of the market where there were many small vendors. Little Yuanzhao was attracted by one selling malt sugar.

I saw an old man hitting malt sugar with a hammer, making a tinkling sound. Little Yuanzhao was squatting in front of the stall, watching while biting a candy ball.

"Would you like some?" The old man placed the malt sugar in front of little Yuanzhao and shook it a few times.

"Is it delicious?" Little Yuanzhao leaned forward, his eyes fixed on the malt sugar cube in the old man's hand.

"My malt sugar is made with malt, honey, isatis root, and pear juice. It's not only delicious, but also helps clear the lungs and strengthen the spleen."

"Then give me a few pieces." Xiao Yuan had just finished speaking when the old man quickly knocked down a few pieces and wrapped them in oil paper.

Xiao Zhu reached into her purse and asked, "How much money?"

"Three Pence"

The old man took the money with a smile and continued to knock on the coins, making a jingling sound. "Maltose, delicious maltose."

Helan Xuenuo also took a piece and tasted it. While chewing, someone whispered in her ear, "Miss Xuenuo, what's delicious to eat?"
