Gu Zhige bowed and said, "Greetings to Prince Duan and...young uncle."

Prince Duan is also a special existence in the court. He is the younger brother of the current emperor, but not from the same mother. It is rumored that he was the most favored at the time. If the previous emperor had not died too early, the current emperor would not have sat on the throne.

But when the previous emperor died, he left a talisman to his most beloved son, an army of 100,000 in the northwest, and ordered him to garrison in the northwest after he came of age, and his fiefdom was also there.

Over the years, the 100,000-strong army in the northwest has always been a thorn in the emperor's heart, but he has been unable to remove it, so the two brothers can only maintain a state of disharmony in their hearts.

The emperor summoned him back to the capital several times, but Prince Duan always rejected him because the war in the northwest was tense.

This time, Princess Duan was seriously ill, so he had to bring his wife and children back to the capital to seek treatment from the imperial physician.

So, all in all, he should call the little boy in Prince Duan's arms "little imperial uncle".

Meng Dingfeng stood there for a while indignantly. When he saw that everyone at Guanyantai had left, he dejectedly followed Meng Liu and the others away.

When I went downstairs, I happened to meet Prince Duan and Gu Zhige.

Fu Wenting, the little boy, was like a cat with its fur standing on end when he saw Meng Liu: "Why are you here too?"

He thought that the only time he was embarrassed since he could remember was when he was hiding in the Plum Garden of the Imperial Palace and crying and was caught by her.

Prince Duan took a look at Meng Liu and became interested: "Oh? Does this girl know my boy?"

Meng Liu bowed and explained: "I was once in..."

"You are not allowed to say that!" Fu Wenting struggled to get off Prince Duan's hand, ran over to grab her hand, and forcefully pulled her aside.

"You promised me you wouldn't tell!" He warned fiercely in a low voice.

Meng Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Such a young person was quite concerned about his reputation: "Okay, I won't tell you."

Prince Duan seemed very curious about what unspeakable things had happened between his son and her, but seeing Fu Wenting's angry look, he didn't tease him anymore.

"Since you are Ting'er's friends, why don't you stay and watch the fireworks together?" He glanced at Gu Zhige, "You should stay too."

Prince Duan had a beard and a big body, making him look like a rough warrior. However, he was surprisingly approachable and did not look down on others because of their humble family background. He could tell jokes about the army at will, which made the young men laugh.

As for Fu Wenting, he had no intention of listening to his father repeating those old stories. He followed Meng Liu closely, fearing that she would tell others about his ugly deeds that day if he was not paying attention.

‘Bang’ sound.

The first firework soared into the sky, cutting through the night sky and bursting with dazzling light.

Meng Liu subconsciously lowered his head and covered Fu Wenting's ears.

The noise is too loud and the child's organs are not fully developed, so it is best not to irritate their ears. This may also be the subconscious reaction of a mother.

Everyone was watching the fireworks and no one noticed what was happening here.

Fu Wenting looked up at her. Fireworks exploded and went out behind Meng Liu, and the colorful lights reflected on her face.

Well...it's pretty good looking.

Before this, Fu Wenting always thought that his mother was the most beautiful woman in the world. Now it seems that although this woman is not as beautiful as his mother, she is better than most women in the world.

When he grows up and gets married, he wants to marry someone like this.

Fireworks rose into the sky one after another, blooming in various shapes and colors in the night sky. Some looked like blooming flowers, some like flying butterflies, and some like the bright starry sky.

Every time the fireworks bloomed, they were accompanied by cheers from my two cousins ​​and the people on the street. Everyone was excited with every rise of the fireworks.

After watching, the group said goodbye to Prince Duan.

Seeing his son staring at the girl blankly, Prince Duan couldn't help but smile: "I will have to stay in Beijing for more than a month. If you are free, you can come to the palace to have a gathering. This boy is worried about having no friends."

If it were any other time, Fu Wenting would definitely be furious, as he is at his age and cares most about his reputation, but this time he didn't say a word for some reason.

Meng Dingfeng and his cousin Li agreed with great trepidation. They never expected that after watching the fireworks together, they would be able to climb up to Prince Duan's palace.

After Prince Duan took his son away, everyone noticed that there was also a Crown Prince Gu Zhige beside them.

He took two steps forward and said to Meng Liu, "Miss, can I have a word with you?"

Meng Dingfeng stood in front of his sister and said, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Gu Zhige smiled and said, "Nothing, Brother Meng, if you are worried, you can come along, I will say a few words."

Seeing how persistent he was, Meng Dingfeng didn't want to be too unkind, so he pulled his sister aside and went with him.

Gu Zhige looked at Meng Liu with some obsession. It had only been a few days since they met for the second time, but he felt that she had become more beautiful.

Meng Liu nodded: "What do you want to see me for, my lord?"

Gu Zhige hurriedly took something out from his chest.

A wrinkled rose.

He checked again and again before going out. Maybe there were too many people on the street and they were squeezed, so the roses no longer looked beautiful.

He scratched his head and stretched out his hand embarrassedly: "You said last time that you liked roses, so I specially asked the gardener in the mansion to pick a few. This one is the best, so I wanted to give it to you, but it’s a pity that I can’t do it now..."

Meng Dingfeng's eyes widened. What did he mean by saying he liked Rose last time? Did they have met before? So this guy came here just for his sister?

Seeing his depressed tone, Meng Liu took two steps forward and took the flower: "No need, blooming flowers should grow on trees. No matter how you preserve them, they will wither in two days at most."

"You're right. I won't do it again next time." Gu Zhige looked a little bitter, and then he said, "I was serious about what I said to you last time. I have already told my mother at home, and she agreed..."

"Prince, please be careful with your words." Meng Liu took two steps back.

She knew very well what Gu Zhige was thinking. He was simply attracted to her because of her beauty. To be honest, this guy was not bad looking, but his actions seemed strange to her.

It was the first time we met, and I didn’t know if it was an accident or if he came here on purpose.

Anyway, he spoke a little recklessly that time.

There is no problem in modern times, but this is ancient times. If anyone hears it, her reputation and the Meng family's name will be ruined.

The second time was this time.

The intention of sending flowers is good, but is the relationship between them such that gifts can be given? Once again, he has overstepped his bounds. I can only say that he has no sense of propriety.

Then came the thing he had wanted to mention time and again, which was to propose to her.

This kind of thing is usually decided by parents and matchmakers, so why is he coming to tell her?
