Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Seeing how formal she was, Chu Jinxun instantly felt a little nervous.

He blinked: "Aren't you making tea?"

Yan Xining looked at his innocent yet resistant expression and sighed softly: "Chu Jinxun, we need to sort out the relationship between us, otherwise, it will be very troublesome in the future!"

"What's the trouble?" The obsidian eyes looked over steadily, filled with persistence and doubt.

Yan Xining looked at his handsome face, looking at her so directly from such a close distance, which really made her unable to bear to say anything harsh.

But she was a sober person, and she still said, "I remember that it was you who proposed the three rules we agreed on this morning."

"If I say that I want to take back what I said then..." Chu Jinxun lowered his voice very low, with a hint of regret in his tone.

Yan Xining laughed: "With your status, it's not easy to survive until now. Don't trust others so easily."

"I don't trust others easily, I only trust you!"

Yan Xining looked at him, looking so obedient and depressed, and almost wanted to reach out and rub his head to comfort him. It was really the way he looked that made it easy for people to let down their guard and treat him as a well-behaved little brother.

But she quickly realized that perhaps her earlier, careless actions had caused the child to misunderstand her. Ancient people matured early, and at twenty they were already adults, but in her eyes, he was still a little brother. After all, she had been twenty-four when she died in her previous life.

Yan Xining smiled and said, "You are still young and haven't come into contact with many girls. You just developed a sense of dependence on me because I can cure your illness. When you get better, you will know that this feeling now is an illusion!"

"You don't like me? Or am I doing something wrong?"

"Neither!" Yan Xining looked at him with clear eyes: "You are too young!"

"I'm not small, why don't you take a look! Really!"

Yan Xining: “…”

She almost choked on her own saliva. "Little friend, do you want to listen to what you are saying? What are you looking at? Your ID card?"

How could this little puppy say such pure and lustful words so seriously? This is simply tempting to commit a crime! Fortunately, she is a person of principle.

She looked at him seriously, her eyes clear and firm. "No matter what happens in the future, we are just partners now, nothing more! I will cooperate with you when I should, and I am very grateful for your care for me! In my heart, you are a trustworthy partner and a brother who can be loved and cared for. I don't like someone like you, and I don't think you like someone like me either. Don't do anything that you will regret!"

She wasn't lying. She admired the little puppy and enjoyed looking at a beautiful face, just like appreciating a beautiful painting. It was a visual pleasure. But this liking only stayed at the level of appreciation, like a breeze blowing across the lake, leaving only shallow ripples.

In fact, she admires the strong!

For her, the puppy-type guy can only bring her a brief visual enjoyment, but cannot touch the string deep in her heart, cannot make her soul tremble, and cannot really make her fall in love.

The person who can make her fall in love should be someone who can fight alongside her, has the same ideas and concepts as her, and whom she can trust and rely on.

After what happened last time, she actually wanted to have a good talk with Chu Jinxun.

This ambiguous relationship is like walking on a tightrope on the edge of a cliff. Continuing on is full of unknown dangers, and she has no intention of getting into any emotional debt.

The water has boiled. She picked up the kettle and poured in the tea that had been crushed into powder. The tea powder rolled, settled, collided and blended with each other, and then gradually settled. The rich tea aroma wafted away with the hot air.

She handed the brewed tea to Chu Jinxun and said, "Brother, if the partnership is tainted with other things, it will no longer be pure and will be very dangerous!"

Chu Jinxun didn't take the tea. He just looked at her steadily, with a hurt expression.

Yan Xining shook her head. "Have you forgotten that you're ranked fourth on the Jinghua list? Although you can't participate in the selection next year because of me, do you know how many people out there want to marry you? Maybe one of them is your soulmate! You think I'm different, probably because I can cure you. But if you were completely cured, you wouldn't need a doctor like this around you!"

She took a sip of tea, it was delicious!

Chu Jinxun lowered his head to drink tea, and when he raised his head again, his voice was as hoarse as the last tremolo of an old guitar string: "I understand what you mean! The tea is delicious, let's go together next time!" As he said that, he stood up and walked out.

The back figure looks a bit lonely.

Yan Xining watched his back as he left and felt that it was necessary to take him out for a walk more often. This child had been stuck in the house for too long and seldom went out, so he met too few girls!

The next morning, Yan Xining changed into the princess's formal attire and also prepared a set of casual clothes, which she would place in the carriage so she could change.

Yesterday's meeting with Chu Jinxun ended on bad terms, and Chu Jinxun probably wouldn't want to see her. Therefore, she didn't go to Qiyun Courtyard and planned to go directly to the palace.

However, as soon as she left Qingwu Courtyard, she saw Chu Jinxun standing there waiting.

Chu Jinxun smiled at her and held out his hand: "Let's go!"

Chu Jinxun looked pale and sick today. He was wearing many clothes. The snow-white fox fur wrapped him tightly, making his face look even paler.

However, his smile was bright and there was no sign of reluctance, as if what happened yesterday had never happened.

Yan Xining breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and extended her hand, and the two walked together.

As they walked all the way to the outer courtyard and out of the mansion gate, pairs of eyes fell on them, and one or two of them had sparkling eyes.

After they boarded the carriage with the emblem of Prince An's Mansion, the curtain dropped and their hands loosened.

Chu Jinxun opened the secret drawer and brought out plates of snacks: "You didn't have breakfast, so eat something to fill your stomach!"

"Thank you!"

Chu Jinxun smiled and nodded, leaning against the car wall and closing his eyes to rest.

Yan Xining felt full after eating two pieces of dessert, so she closed her eyes and rested.

The two of them were silent all the way.

The carriage entered the palace gate, stopped at the third gate, and was replaced by a small palace sedan chair.

When they arrived not far from Fengyi Palace, they got off the sedan chair, walked to the palace gate, reported, and then waited outside.

It didn't take long before news came from inside that they were summoned for an audience.

It was still early, and it was time for the concubines from various palaces to come and pay their respects to the Queen.

The concubines were talking to the queen, and when they saw Chu Jinxun and Yan Xining, they all looked over at them with scrutiny.

Concubine Lin was still fuming from the previous incident. Seeing the two of them approaching together, she chuckled and said in a veiled tone, "Oh, His Royal Highness Prince An can't leave Princess An alone for even a moment! The Queen summoned Princess An, and Prince An eagerly followed her too. Is he afraid the Queen will treat her poorly?"

Chu Jinxun coughed lightly, as if he hadn't heard the provocation in Concubine Lin's words: "Of course, Queen Mother won't treat Xining badly, but cough cough cough... The King is easy to see, but the little devil is hard to deal with!"
