Spring Drunk Chang'an

A low and melodious sound, like the pleasant sound of a guqin, rang in his ears. The familiar tone made Liu Changan's body slightly startled.

She froze in place for a moment, then bit her lip calmly, turned around and looked at him with a pair of watery almond eyes.

Sure enough, outside the mansion of Duke Cheng'en, under the poplar tree that could be hugged by three people, Prince Xiao Chuo stood there tall and graceful amidst the snow.

He put one hand behind his back, his jade-like face slightly raised, and a faint smile appeared on his thin lips. His pair of ink-like eyes were ruthless, yet seemed to be gently gazing at Liu Changan.

Like a god sculpted from ice and snow.

"Your Highness." Liu Chang'an breathed softly, her eyes dazzled by the brightness. She stepped forward, her figure like a lotus leaf in the wind, and bowed slightly. "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness be blessed with good health."

"I've told you many times, you don't have to bow to me." Xiao Chuo frowned slightly, looking unhappy. He stretched out his slender hand, held Liu Chang'an's wrist without any hesitation, and squeezed it lightly.

Liu Changan could no longer continue with this courtesy. She stood up with the force, her face slightly flushed, but she said, "No matter what, courtesy cannot be abolished."

"It was fine in the past, but now I can't embarrass my uncle and aunt."

She used to be a maid, but later she redeemed herself and became the sister of a minor official. Her relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a private one, so there was nothing wrong with them being casual with each other.

But now it’s different. The Cheng’en Mansion is the most solid force of the Queen’s party. How many eyes are watching the Song family?

She can't take it lightly.

Liu Changan chuckled.

Xiao Chuo kept looking at her with a frown. After a while, she suddenly smiled and said, "You are really sincere, Sister Chang'an."

He put the emphasis on the word "sister".

The cry was low and ambiguous.

Liu Changan was surprised. Her big almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened. She looked up suddenly and whispered, "Your Highness, why are you suddenly calling me like that?"

What about brother and sister? I'm not used to it!

Her ears felt numb from the shouting.

"You are my aunt's daughter, and now you are a member of the Song family. Like Chinian, you are naturally my sister."

Xiao Chuo said as a matter of course, lowered her eyes and called out again, "Chang'an... my sister."

His voice lowered two degrees, becoming infinitely gentler.

Liu Chang'an blushed slightly and lowered his eyes involuntarily, but he still felt a hot and powerful gaze staring at him.

Her face flushed, she didn't know what to say, but she also knew she shouldn't remain silent. So she coughed lightly and said hurriedly, "Um, um, Your Highness, you're not busy lately? How come you have time to come over?"

"Are you looking for grandpa and grandma?"

Since she recognized him, the prince has visited the mansion many times, and he comes and goes quite frequently. However, perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was intentional, the two of them had never met each other.

Once, Liu Changan deliberately waited for him until he finished discussing important matters with his grandparents and reported that he wanted to pay a visit, but he didn't even look at him.

This is also the reason why her heart turned cold.

She was afraid that the prince was deliberately avoiding her.

Liu Changan didn't know why. Perhaps it was related to the talent show, or perhaps it was due to something else. But she was a girl, and since the prince had made it so clear, she couldn't rush into it.

Thinking of this, the blush on Liu Changan's face gradually faded and his chest gradually calmed down.

His expression also became dull.

"Sister Chang'an, I came here today specifically to find you." Xiao Chuo's eyes were filled with smiles and longing, and she stared at Liu Chang'an in a daze.

It had been a long time since they last met, and he really missed her.

But recently, he has been busy making all the arrangements for the audition.

After all, the woman who passed the final selection had to live in the palace for two months. If he didn't make good arrangements for her, he was afraid that Chang'an would suffer grievances in the future.

Apart from other things, just being a "roommate" is a matter of consideration. Most noble ladies are arrogant and look down on others. He doesn't care about Chang'an's previous identity, he just feels distressed. Is he afraid that outsiders will look down on him?

He had to find someone with a good temper and a gentle personality to live with Chang'an in the palace in the future.

and……

Although they were both connected and definitely in love, they never explained their feelings to each other. If he had confessed his feelings, and asked him to boast to Chang'an before things were properly arranged, he, he...

Still a little shy.

Xiao Chuo felt that it was not possible to make Chang'an the Crown Princess, so it was not easy to tell her directly. This was also the reason why he had not come to see her.

Well, I just feel embarrassed.

Xiao Chuo's ink-like eyes sparkled.

"You came to see me specifically? What do you want from me?" Liu Changan looked puzzled.

I'm going back to the mansion for such a big thing, and you didn't come at first, and then you didn't come? Now that everything has been settled offline, you're here?

What to do? She has already adapted well!

"Sister Chang'an, let's go for a walk in the garden. I have something to tell you."

Xiao Chuo did not answer, nor did he notice Liu Changan's strange look. His whole mind was focused on "confession today, mutual love".

He directly held Liu Changan's hand.

Liu Chang'an frowned and tried to shake his eyebrows twice but failed. He frowned and opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, he was grabbed by the wrist by the excited Crown Prince and taken straight into the palace.

Xiao Chuo took Liu Chang'an straight to the small garden.

At this time of year, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. The weather in Beijing in January is as cold as ice. All the flowers in the small garden have withered, only branches of the green willows are left, and the viewing lake is frozen.

There are definitely no butterflies or bees flying around.

Even the insects in the garden were frozen to death.

Especially at this time, it was already completely dark, and the only lights in the small garden were a few palace lanterns.

Liu Chang'an, holding the prince's hand, walked into the garden. In just that short distance, she had already kicked several stones.

It’s nothing, I just can’t see clearly.

When she kicked something again and her toes hurt, Liu Changan finally couldn't bear it anymore and stopped abruptly. She shook her hands fiercely, and her almond-shaped eyes were boiling with anger. She shouted, "Your Highness, what do you want to tell me?"

"Stop hiding it!!"

"Speak directly!"

“Hurry up and tell me!!”

Even if you ask her to help arrange a marriage, you have to explain it clearly. Why are you dragging her in the dark?

No need to torture her like this, her ears are almost frozen off!

Liu Changan was angry and cold.

Xiao Chuo was a man in his prime. He was very strong due to his martial arts experience. He was wearing a cloak and did not feel cold at all. He was even so excited that sweat broke out on his forehead.

He was so excited and nervous that he lost his usual caution and calmness. He didn't notice Chang'an's angry tone at all. He thought she was shy too.

Xiao Chuo took a deep breath and went straight to the point, "Sister Chang'an, I want you to be the Crown Princess."
