Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

Just after noon, Madam Liu took Wu Fang and two servants to turn the soil, while Gu Qingzhi squatted at the door of the back hall and repaired the moldy chairs in the house.

Feng Zhan Ye sat bored on the side watching the others busying around. He coughed while drinking the pear soup cooked for him by Nanny Liu, and from time to time he took out the herbs given by Gu Fengping and smelled them.

Wu Fang was swinging the hoe so hard that it was smoking. He took a breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and started complaining.

"Mammy, why do you bother with these broken pieces of land?"

Madam Liu turned around and rolled her eyes at him. "There's plenty of sunlight here, so it's perfect for growing a vegetable garden. I happened to bring some seeds with me, so I can grow some vegetables to survive the winter."

"But it just rained, and it's so wet that it's really hard to turn it over. My waist is almost broken."

After saying this, Wu Fang pounded his waist again, "Ouch, ouch," pretending to be overwhelmed.

"You should be content. It just rained and the soil is soft. It's the best time to till the soil. If you don't want to work, you can't eat the vegetables I grow."

Nanny Liu had obviously found out Wu Fang's weakness of greed and bullied him with her words.

Wu Fang became deflated upon hearing this, and stared at Gu Qingzhi under the eaves with envy, holding his hoe.

"Brother Gu, how about we switch places? I can also repair the stool in your hand, and you can help me swing the hoe."

Gu Qingzhi was busy chipping away at the mildew-corroded parts of the stool and had no time to pay attention to him.

But Aunt Liu turned around and said, "Don't be lazy! Get to work!"

Wu Fang said "oh" in grievance, then looked at the other two servants, and pointed at the servant who was beaten yesterday and whose mouth and nose were wrapped like a pig's head, imitating Liu Ma's tone and said: "You too! Hurry up and work!"

Servant: Who have I offended again?

As they were busy, they saw a strange maid approaching, stopping in front of Feng Zhanye from a distance of eight feet, and said, "Today is a great day for viewing autumn in the maple garden of the Xiangfu. The Left Xiang will be waiting for you in the west courtyard of the main mansion at three o'clock in the afternoon. Please come on time."

Without waiting for anyone to react, the maid left in a hurry.

"What did the girl say? I couldn't hear a word I said standing so far away." Wu Fang pinched his ears and asked first.

Madam Liu frowned and said, "You don't even bend your knees when you see your master. This servant in the Prime Minister's Mansion really has no manners at all."

Then, as if she had thought of something, she stood up and said to Feng Zhanye, "Your Highness, the Left Prime Minister has ignored you for three days since you entered the palace. Now that he suddenly came, there must be a trick. In my opinion, it is better not to go."

Feng Zhanye hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "The more I don't go, the more they will think I'm easy to bully, and my life will become more difficult."

"But if you go, won't they just bully you openly?"

Nanny Liu was very worried, so she put down her hoe and walked closer to him.

"Don't worry, Mammy. I'm not stupid. I won't hide when they bully me."

Although he didn't have much confidence, in order to reassure Aunt Liu, Feng Zhanye still forced a smile.

Gu Qingzhi stood up, patted her clothes, and looked at Aunt Liu: "Don't worry, Aunt, I will go with His Highness."

Nanny Liu had just witnessed Gu Qingzhi's abilities yesterday and knew that if she went along, she could at least guarantee Feng Zhanye's safety. Seeing that Feng Zhanye had made the decision, she hesitated for a long time but finally agreed.

This was the first time Feng Zhanye had walked out of the villa since he was driven out of the palace.

The sunshine after the rain is particularly abundant, and the magnificent main palace becomes even brighter after being washed by the rain.

The pavilions and towers along the way are classical and elegant, quiet and beautiful. The green tiles on the eaves are exquisitely carved, and the various patterns are lifelike, all of which show the noble status of the owner of the mansion.

Feng Zhanye changed into an indigo robe with silver cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs. His black hair was tied up high with a silver-threaded jade crown, and the ends of his hair hung down along his shoulders, making his skin look dazzlingly white.

This was the clothes he brought out from the palace, at least it was one of the few decent clothes he had.

Gu Qingzhi followed behind him with a stern look.

As she was about to meet Zuo Fuhong, she tried her best to calm herself down to avoid being discovered by Feng Zhanye.

Following the direction indicated by the maid, they walked all the way to the west courtyard and walked around a screen wall engraved with pine and crane symbols of longevity. They were both attracted by the scenery in front of them.

What comes into view is a red maple forest, with each maple tree stretching out its branches in different postures. The golden oaks in the courtyard appear lonely against the backdrop of the maple forest, lacking some of their intoxicating charm.

A breeze blew, and the forest was dyed with colors. The fiery leaves fell on the path, paving a road of autumn colors.

Although he knew that the purpose of the Left Prime Minister asking Feng Zhan to come to Maple Garden at night was not simple, the autumn scenery he saw at this moment was truly fascinating.

Gu Qingzhi was watching intently when she felt someone suddenly hit her arm hard. She looked down and saw a young man in beautiful clothes passing by her.

"Tsk... a good dog doesn't get in the way."

The young man had a handsome face and held his head high. He was not at all aware that he had bumped into anyone. He glanced at her with disgust, then turned and walked deeper into the maple forest.

Feng Zhanye frowned unhappily and glanced at the man, then turned back and asked Gu Qingzhi, "Are you okay?"

Gu Qingzhi shook her head and didn't take the collision seriously.

Before coming out, Gu Qingzhi specifically reminded Feng Zhanye to control his temper no matter what happened. Now it seems that he has done a good job.

Gu Qingzhi had some impression of the man who bumped into someone. If she remembered correctly, he was the useless second son of the Zuo family - Zuo Chengran.

No wonder this fellow became a well-known playboy in Kyoto in the future. It turned out that he was so arrogant at this moment.

After being distracted by this, the two of them no longer had any interest in appreciating the beautiful scenery. They soon reached the depths of the maple forest and heard bursts of happy laughter.

The banquet for the left prime minister was held here. There were several elegant small tables with exquisite cakes on them. The innermost table was slightly larger and had a richer variety of food on it.

Ever since Feng Zhanye stepped into here, all the happy smiles disappeared in an instant, and everyone looked at him at the same time.

Some of the younger children seemed to be afraid of him and hid away from him. Two women dressed as aunts were whispering while holding babies.

"What is he doing here? An abandoned prince, coming here to eat and drink for free?"

"If I had known he was coming, I wouldn't have come! Doesn't he know what's wrong with him? Why is he still running around?"

Although the two spoke in low voices, every word still fell accurately into Feng Zhanye's ears. His face darkened and he could not help but glare at the two men and clenched his fists.

He knew that these people were afraid of him and were afraid of being contaminated by the evil spirit in him. They were gossiping about him so blatantly right next to him, obviously not taking him seriously at all.

The two of them were puzzled by his stare, glared back at him, and continued to gossip about him even more vigorously.

Gu Qingzhi understood that such a scene made him uncomfortable, so she took a step forward, got closer to him, and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Your Highness has not recovered from the cold yet. If you are tired, please sit down for a while."

A cool feeling on his back gradually calmed him down. Gu Qingzhi helped him sit on a stone bench at the side and glanced at Zuo Chengyu who was sitting closest to the upper seat.

He took a sip of wine and stared at Feng Zhanye with interest, with a slight smile in the corner of his eyes, looking gentle and noble.

As if he noticed someone was looking at him, he raised his eyelids slightly and met Gu Qingzhi's gaze.

Gu Qingzhi hastily withdrew her gaze and straightened Feng Zhanye's clothes.

She could even feel those eyes still on her. She couldn't be sure whether she had inadvertently revealed murderous intent just now, and her back felt a chill.

Zuo Chengyu is a very shrewd person, and it would not be a good thing if you were targeted by him.

When Gu Qingzhi was nervous, a voice came from not far away.

"Lord Zuo Xiang is here!"
