The prince is very cruel

Li Zhibao smiled bitterly and nodded, feeling a little depressed.

"This old guy is so pedantic. What's wrong with meeting him once? A scholar is a scholar. If you hadn't pulled me aside just now, I would have argued with him. Isn't this like breaking up a couple?" Yuan Xiang said angrily.

"Shh, keep your voice down!" Guan Ning glared at her.

"That's right." Yuan Xiang snorted.

"Since we can't meet openly, let's meet secretly." Guan Ning couldn't bear it when he saw Li Zhibao holding the gift in his hand in a daze.

The three people's eyes lit up at the same time: "Why did you meet secretly?"

Guan Ning grinned wickedly, gathered the three of them together, and muttered something for a while.

After listening to it, Yuan Xiang was eager to try it.

The remaining two timid ones were just stunned.

"Brother Ning, this might not be a good thing. If we get discovered and Uncle Zhao gets angry, I'll be in trouble. Maybe even our engagement will be ruined." Li Zhibao said fearfully.

"Don't worry, we'll cover for you, it won't happen."

"Do you dare?" Guan Ning raised his eyebrows.

Yuan Xiang also looked over: "As a man, don't dilly-dally."

Under urging, Li Zhibao struggled and hesitated, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's do it!"

"..."

So, under Guan Ning's advice, several people took advantage of the night to divide the work and cooperate. First, Yuan Xiang and Tang Xiang'er made an excuse that something was left at Zhao's house, which attracted a large number of servants to go look for it.

Then, Guan Ning took Li Zhibao around to the back door and let him step on his shoulders and climb into the backyard.

The whole process was extremely exciting. If they had been discovered, they might have had to report to the police. Fortunately, Guan Ning was agile, and too many people were attracted away from the front yard, so the two of them were able to sneak in.

Guan Ning was a skilled and courageous man, so he went straight to the boudoir where Miss Zhao was.

"People are here. I can only help you here. After I lead them away, you hurry up and remember what I taught you. It's up to you from now on!" Guan Ning said while hiding in the flower bed.

Li Zhibao tensed up and was extremely nervous: "Okay, okay!"

"Woof woof woof!" Guan Ning continued to imitate a dog barking, the sound was very loud.

"Go and have a look! A wild dog from that house has run in. Be careful not to bite anyone."

"quick!"

The servants came in groups of three or five and were led by Guan Ning in another direction.

When Li Zhibao saw the man leave, he made up his mind, mustered up his courage and rushed in.

Half an hour later.

Li Zhibao slipped out from the back door.

"How is it?" The three of them rushed forward, looking curious. After all, it was obviously going smoothly. The gift was given away and was no longer in their hands, but it was not discovered.

Li Zhibao scratched his head, looking embarrassed: "No, nothing happened, I just sent it away."

"Didn't she say anything?" Yuan Xiang looked at him with a look of disappointment.

"Yes." Tang Xiang'er was also concerned.

"She..." Li Zhibao stretched out his voice.

At this moment, the back door was suddenly opened, and the four of them turned around in fright.

It was a woman who looked like a maid. She was holding something in her hand and came to Li Zhibao cautiously, afraid of being discovered by others.

"Prince Li."

"This is something the lady asked me to give you secretly. She said you scratched your face, so apply some of this on it and be careful on your way home."

The maid handed over a bottle of ointment and a handkerchief.

Suddenly!

Guan Ning and the other two were ecstatic. Yuan Xiang jumped up like it was New Year's Eve. "Hahaha, success!"

"well!"

"Idiot, take it now!"

It was obvious that Miss Zhao responded, which showed that she cared about him. In ancient times, women would never give their handkerchiefs to anyone casually. This showed that her love was successful, and coupled with their engagement, it was definitely a done deal.

Li Zhibao just stood there grinning foolishly.

At this moment, light snow suddenly began to fall from the sky, just like the love between this destined couple, so pure and innocent.

On the way back, the four of them talked and laughed, and were very happy.

Especially Li Zhibao, he almost kowtowed to Guan Ning on the spot. He was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He insisted on recognizing Guan Ning as his elder brother.

When I returned to the palace, it was already the evening hour.

There was already a thin layer of snow on the wide steps and eaves.

"what!"

"Hahaha!"

"Hit him, cluck cluck."

The four of them played snowball fights, talked and laughed as they went home. They were very harmonious in the snow, and their friendship had reached a new level.
