Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

"Your Highness is coming. Why didn't you send someone to the military camp to inform me in advance?"

Gu Huai put down the lunch box and sat down next to Xie Qingchen.

The two of them were friends who had gone through life and death together, so although they were bound by the relationship of monarch and subject, the atmosphere in private was not so solemn and restrained.

"You're back." Xie Qingchen turned his head, his slightly drunken eyes fell on Gu Huai, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "It's okay, I just had a sudden impulse."

"Come, have a drink." He picked up a pot of wine beside him and handed it to Gu Huai.

Gu Huai took it and took a sip.

Perhaps because he felt that drinking alone was boring, Gu Huai opened the food box he brought back and took out a piece of peach blossom cake from it. Before he could open his mouth to ask Xie Qingchen if he wanted to eat it, he had already snatched the cake from his hand.

Xie Qingchen's sharp gaze almost made two holes in the pastry.

"Where did this come from?"

Gu Huai rubbed his wrist, which was pinched and hurt, and hesitated. "A friend... did it."

"Lu Yaoyao?" Xie Qingchen was very perceptive and guessed it immediately.

"Uh... um."

Gu Huai became increasingly uneasy because His Highness's attitude towards Miss Lu had always been somewhat strange.

"You are not allowed to eat it. I want to take this away."

Xie Qingchen put the cake in his hand back into the lunch box, closed the lid, and walked downstairs carrying the lunch box.

"Your Highness, I promised to return this lunch box to Miss Lu. If you like this pastry, I'll have someone get a new lunch box for you to take away!"

Xie Qingchen's slightly depressed voice came from below, "I'll return the food box to her for you."

Gu Huai followed Xie Qingchen's back as he walked away quickly, with a look of astonishment on his face.

……

Lu Yaoyao lifted her skirt and climbed up the stairs, when suddenly a force hit her.

Before she could react, her back was slammed against the wall. Immediately afterwards, a fierce and hot kiss came down like a storm. "Yaoyao, are you back?"

Lu Yaoyao's body suddenly stiffened and she even forgot to struggle.

Xie Qingchen mercilessly ravaged her lips repeatedly, and the fiery kiss even spread to her neck unsatisfied, as if he wanted to pour out all the longing and anger that had been suppressed for many years.

His hands tore open her collar, and she just felt a hint of coolness, and was immediately covered and devoured by his lips and tongue.

The guards at the Lu family's gate looked at this exciting scene and stood there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.

My young lady has been offended. Do you want to go up and help?

But the other party is the current prince!

Lu Yaoyao was dizzy from Xie Qingchen's kiss and fell into a state of confusion and passion. In the end, it was the smell of alcohol coming out of his mouth that sobered her up a little.

She pushed him away with all her strength, shouting, "I'm Lu Yaoyao."

Xie Qingchen paused, his head still buried in the crook of her neck, breathing heavily.

After a long while, I finally heard his hoarse voice, "No, you are not. You are He Yaoyao. Now that you are back, why don't you recognize me? Are you still blaming me?"

Why did he suddenly say that he was He Yaoyao?

Lu Yaoyao calmed down, but still couldn't remember when she was exposed.

Her eyes accidentally swept over the fallen food box on the ground and the peach blossom cake that fell out, and she suddenly understood.

Xie Qingchen must have met Gu Huai before and saw her giving him the peach blossom cake, so he concluded that she was back.

After all, peach blossom cake has special meaning to them.

Many of the two people’s good memories are related to peach blossom cakes.

After finding out the reason, Lu Yaoyao calmed down completely. "Your Highness, you are drunk. I am not the He Yaoyao you mentioned. I have heard General Gu mention this woman before. She is someone you loved deeply, but she is now dead. Even if she were to reincarnate, she would not be as old as me."

Lu Yaoyao's well-reasoned analysis made Xie Qingchen start to wake up.

His dark eyes were deep and sharp, staring at Lu Yaoyao for a long while like locking onto prey. He suddenly pushed her away, his phoenix eyes flashing with embarrassment and anger, "You really don't look like her, and you don't deserve to be like her."

He suddenly turned around and staggered down the stairs. Qingfeng was afraid that he would fall, so he reached out to support him, but he pushed his hand away violently.

"I can walk on my own."

Xie Qingchen disappeared suddenly, just as he appeared suddenly. Lu Yaoyao's heart ached, but she put on her clothes and hair as if nothing had happened. When she turned around, she saw Lu Jinglin standing at the door, looking at a loss.

"Daughter, you...you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

Lu Yaoyao didn't want to say much, so she just casually said, "He drank too much and acted crazy," and then entered the Lu Mansion.

She looked unhappy, and Lu Jinglin didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The next day, Lu Yaoyao invited Gu Huai to go on a night tour of West Lake.

Gu Huai went there happily.

The two of them sat on a boat hung with lanterns, enjoying the scenery on both sides of West Lake, playing chess and drinking tea. It was so pleasant.

Gu Huai looked at Lu Yaoyao steadily. Her beautiful eyes were calm and dazzling, with a unique kind of beauty that captivated people.

Being with her, my restless heart will become calm.

"Yaoyao, has anyone ever told you that you have a unique temperament?"

Lu Yaoyao's lips curved slightly, "I'll just take it as General Gu praising me."

"Bang... bang..."

The sounds of explosions came one after another from the other side of the lake. Gu Huai looked in the direction of the sound and saw fireworks blooming brilliantly where the water and sky met on the other side of the lake, and various patterns of generals practicing martial arts were spread across the sky.

Gu Huai was stunned. He turned his head to look at Lu Yaoyao, who was looking at him with a smile.

He understood instantly, "You arranged this?"

"Well, do you like it?"

"like."

It probably takes a lot of thought to make this kind of fireworks.

"There's more." Lu Yaoyao took out the food box from under the table like a magic trick, opened the lid, and the aroma of delicious food immediately emanated.

"I made some new snacks, please try them."

"it is good."

Gu Huai reached out and took one, took a bite, and praised it for being delicious.

Seeing that Gu Huai had eaten a lot of snacks, she took out another food box from below, opened it, and took out the sweet soup she made herself.

"Drink a bowl of this to relieve your greasiness."

Gu Huai took the sugar water, drank two sips, and gave a thumbs up, "Miss Lu, you can open a shop with your skills."

"But there is only one customer I want to serve." Lu Yaoyao looked at Gu Huai lovingly.

Gu Huai's face suddenly turned red.

Lu Yaoyao: "You blush so easily, doesn't General Gu even have a concubine in his room?"

"Of course not. If this general were to marry, she would be the only woman in his life."

Lu Yaoyao felt a pang of pain in her heart. Although it was impossible for her to be with Xie Qingchen anymore, sometimes she couldn't avoid comparing him with Gu Huai.

She spent ten years trying to persuade Xie Qingchen to give her what he wanted, but Gu Huai had already made up his mind.

He is truly God's choice, a suitable target for her to capture.

"Gu Huai." She no longer called him General Gu in a teasing tone, but Gu Huai, her tone more serious than ever before, "Even if you are attracted to me, please don't agree to my request for a relationship too soon, okay?"
