Chapter 114 Green
Gu Qinghe came down first, then reached out to help Li. Gu Ruoxing was still putting on makeup in front of the mirror.
"Ruoxing, please come down quickly, we are already late."
"Okay." Gu Ruoxing said, and then stuck her head out. Xing'er stepped forward and stretched out her arm. Gu Ruoxing grabbed it and got off the carriage.
The three of them walked a few dozen meters in and saw Madam Chen. "What a coincidence, Madam Chen."
Upon hearing this, Madam Chen glanced at Gu Qinghe and smiled knowingly, "Isn't it? The eldest madam brought her two nieces to burn incense?"
"Yes, my own daughter is married, so if I want to go out, I can only borrow my brother's sister-in-law's daughter." Li smiled, then found a stone table under the tree and sat down with Mrs. Chen.
Gu Qinghe and Gu Ruoxing also sat aside, talking to Mrs. Chen's daughter.
Gu Ruoxing's eyes were wandering, as if she was anxiously looking for something. Li coughed softly, "Ruoxing, didn't your mother ask you to go to the Changsheng Palace to take a look? Go quickly, don't delay."
"Okay, then Ruoxing will excuse me first." Gu Ruoxing stood up and said, then slowly walked out.
Another half cup of tea passed before Mrs. Chen pointed at her daughter and said, "She has wanted to meet Qinghe for a long time. Just now, she saw two persimmon trees in the back. They look good, so she gave the monk some money and planned to take some back for the old lady to taste. It's a good opportunity for Qinghe to get some too. After all, the persimmons grew in the temple."
Everyone present knew that they were not going to see persimmons, but they still had to say polite words, "Thank you, Madam Chen. Qinghe, you can come with us."
Gu Qinghe listened to Chen Jingzhi talking and laughing all the way, and looked at the scenery on the roadside. Perhaps because he was in a Buddhist temple, the scenery was not so desolate in this season of falling leaves.
"Third Miss, I think I twisted my ankle. Can you go up by yourself? It's just ahead."
Gu Qinghe looked at Chen Jingzhi, who was standing with one foot on the ground. The little girl was really trying hard. She smiled and replied, "Okay."
Chen Jingzhi leaned on the girl beside her with satisfaction, "I'll wait for my sister here."
Gu Qinghe continued walking forward with Yingchun and saw two men in the pavilion. They thought it was Chen Yuan.
The closer he got, the more he realized something was wrong. Which of these two men was a servant? They both had their backs to him and were well dressed. If it wasn't that the Chen family was too nice to their servants, then it was Chen Yuan's problem. Why did he bring his friends along for advice when meeting others?

"This matter is of great importance. I want to entrust it to you. I have also told my father that Jiang Huizhou's location has been basically determined. You should bring him back." Xiao Jingheng solemnly instructed. He had selfish motives in making such arrangements, but for the public good, he had to do so because Chen Yuan was the most reliable candidate.
"I will definitely live up to the trust of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Chen Yuan bowed and replied, but he was still very puzzled. He had just been in the pavilion, obediently following his mother's instructions and waiting for his sister to bring Miss Gu over.
As a result, Miss Gu did not wait for the person, but instead waited for a man who called himself "Gu" and brought him an urgent task, which required him to set off in the next two days.
"Your Highness, I learned about such an urgent matter through a chance encounter with you. The fate between you and me is truly indescribable." Chen Yuan said.
Xiao Jingheng said "hmm" lightly, "Of course, we grew up together, so our tacit understanding is much stronger than others. The Royal Grandmother is going to come to Xiangguo Temple, and she has decided on today. I came here to get some fresh air, and I met you again."
Chen Yuan nodded and smiled. He looked at the sun and estimated the time. His sister would be arriving soon. "Your Highness, the Queen Mother must be around. You've been talking to me here for so long. Why don't you go back quickly?"
"The person leading the team today is from your Jinyiwei. How can I not be at ease? Besides, Zhang Wen is also with the Empress Dowager." Xiao Jingheng did not look anxious at all. He sat on the stone bench, his eyes looking straight at the path opposite.
He had people inquire around, and found out that anyone who came to Xiangguo Temple under the pretext of burning incense or looking for a date would basically choose this pavilion. It was said that most of the men and women who met here would fall in love with each other, and their marriage would go exceptionally smoothly.
Looking at Chen Yuan today, he was wearing an indigo brocade robe and dressed in an elegant manner. It was obvious that this guy was up to something.
Xiao Jingheng snorted in his heart. Doesn’t he know that it is better to be simple in front of the Buddha?
He appeared here and wanted to eliminate all possible signs before they appeared. He knew that he was not being honest, but he really couldn't stand idly by, and he didn't want to disappoint the brother who grew up with him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingheng's face became much darker than before, and Chen Yuan's face was also full of anxiety.
Xiao Jingheng waited for a while and glanced at Han Desheng, meaning: What's going on? Why hasn't Gu Qinghe come yet? Did something unexpected happen on the way?
Han Desheng shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know. He had always been with the prince, so how could he know where he was going? He felt really miserable...
When will this hard time ever end?
Han Desheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked up, he saw his savior, Miss Gu San, coming over. However, why did her steps look a little hesitant?
Xiao Jingheng naturally noticed Gu Qinghe's hesitation, which was almost like taking three steps forward and two steps back. He secretly wondered if Gu Qinghe was dissatisfied with Chen Yuan?
*
Gu Qinghe had a question mark for Chen Yuan, but for Xiao Jingheng, she had to draw a wrong number.
Dog Prince, why are you here?
Gu Ruoxing, who had been waiting for Gu Qinghe to act alone, could no longer hold back her voice. "Your Highness? What's going on?"
By chance?
Before Gu Ruoxing could figure it out, Xiao Jingheng spoke first, "Chen Yuan, an acquaintance is here."
Han Desheng bit the flesh on his cheek tightly and remained serious. "Your Highness, are you going to take the initiative?"
Gu Qinghe was about to turn around and leave, but when she saw Chen Yuan standing next to Xiao Jingheng, who was confused, she bowed and asked, "Are you Mr. Chen?"
What? This is the classic opening of a relationship between a man and a woman? Xiao Jingheng coughed hard.
"Yes, the girl is the third daughter of the Gu family, right?" Chen Yuan replied, wondering in his heart, this girl didn't seem to know the prince, but the prince said that she was his acquaintance.
"This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Chen Yuan introduced him politely.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Qinghe said expressionlessly, bowing slightly.
"I just came here with Jingzhi to get persimmons. She twisted her ankle, so I came up by myself." Gu Qinghe said, and then looked at the two small baskets in the pavilion, where the persimmons were bright red.
Han Desheng only felt that there was something green on the prince's head...
