The scumbags all want to turn back

After the first song was over, all the guests at the main table led their partners to the dance floor, and together with the emperor, empress and prince, led the remaining two opening dances.Now only the Duchess of Royce, Mu Jingfeng and Wen Jin are still sitting there.

The Duchess of Royce looked at Mu Jingfeng calmly for a while, and suddenly said: "Why don't you go dancing, do you have no partner?"

Mu Jingfeng withdrew his gaze from Ning Yuanchen, turned to look at the Duchess and said, "I'm not very interested in dancing."

He knew that the Duchess of Royce was Ning Yuanchen's grandmother, so when facing her, not only did the younger generation treat the elders with respect and politeness, but also felt a little anxious and nervous when seeing the parents of his sweetheart.As for Mu Jingfeng, he had a more serious and cold expression, and a more upright sitting posture.

The Duchess of Royce also looked at Mu Jingfeng with the attitude of looking at her grandson's suitor.She believed in Mu Jingfeng's character, but seeing his face that could freeze people to death, and his attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, she secretly shook her head in her heart.She was actually skeptical about whether Gu Ye could protect Ning Yuanchen and give him the compensation he deserved, so she was more inclined to find a reliable ally for Ning Yuanchen, and marriage was the most convenient way .

But a powerful partner is a way to make Ning Yuanchen happy, not a result. If the partner is not suitable and Ning Yuanchen is unhappy in marriage, it is better to give up this plan from the beginning.

So the Duchess of Royce put a cross behind Mu Jingfeng's name.Mu Jingfeng doesn't look like a man who can hurt others, living with him, Yuan Chen can't be suffocated to death?Such a person is indeed not the best candidate for a partner.

Mu Jingfeng didn't know that his impression in the Duchess's heart had lost a bit, and he was choosing the topic of chat very carefully, hoping to leave a better impression on her.

After the three opening dances, the guests slid onto the dance floor leading their partners.Gu Ye returned to the main table and sat down, while Queen Caitlin accepted the invitation and continued dancing.

And Ning Yuanchen danced a few more dances with Gu Zhaoting patiently. He wanted to have a good chat with Gu Zhaoting about the system world. This section is a minefield that the two have never touched, so it is best to soften his attitude first. Let his guard down.After the atmosphere of the banquet became lively, Ning Yuanchen hinted that he wanted to go out to get some air, and Gu Zhaoting immediately took him out of the hall and came to the garden of the palace.

Most of the guests are now in the banquet hall, and there are almost no people in the garden.Gu Zhaoting brought Ning Yuanchen to a secluded corner, and the two sat side by side on the swing bench.

"It's a beautiful garden, as expected of a royal garden." Ning Yuanchen looked at the surrounding scenery and praised, "However, it would be great if there is a shelf on the swing and a wisteria planted."

Gu Zhaoting's eyes lit up, and he immediately reached out to hold Ning Yuanchen's wrist.In the system world, when the two were still living in the cold palace, Ning Yuanchen once personally set up a wisteria, and later tied a swing under the wisteria shelf.Gu Zhaoting used to swing under the wisteria trellis when he was a child.Later, when I met Yan Shi, Gu Zhaoting took her there to play on the swings. Not long after Gu Zhaoting found out, the wisteria stand fell down.

Now that Ning Yuanchen has brought up the past so calmly, could it be that he finally let go of the past, forgot about Yan Shi, and decided to get back together with him?

"If you like it, I'll let someone plant it in the garden of my palace right away. Let's play on the swing together every day, okay?" Gu Zhaoting said eagerly, holding Ning Yuanchen's hand.

Ning Yuanchen laughed: "Swing on the swing every day, do you think I don't have to go to school when I'm at school?"

Gu Zhaoting saw that he didn't completely reject him, so he hurriedly said, "How about coming that weekend? It won't delay your class."

Ning Yuanchen didn't speak, lowered his eyes and looked elsewhere, suddenly thought of something, his expression suddenly faded, and the smile on his face also restrained a lot: "Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, after all, no matter how you do it, it's not The first one. It's a pity, I've planted that vine for so long, when I cut it off, it was like cutting off one of my hands."

Gu Zhaoting immediately understood that he was thinking of Yan Shi again, his face turned pale with fright, and the other hand reached out to hold Ning Yuanchen's hand, as if he was afraid that he would run away, he clenched it tightly, trying to justify a few words, but Not daring to speak, could only hold his hand anxiously.

After a few months of cooling down, Ning Yuanchen had long since left Yan Shi behind. In his opinion, the thing that made him feel so angry and heartbroken was simply stupid. The mention of the swing now is not to blame Gu Zhaoting, but Just trying to bring up my own question.

So he pretended to be dejected for a while, then looked determined, raised his head and looked at Gu Zhaoting seriously, and said: "Zhaoting, since the past has already happened, it is an irreversible past. , there is no need to continue entanglement."

Gu Zhaoting thought that he was going to break up with him, his eyes were red with fright, and tears almost fell down: "Yuanchen! You..."

Ning Yuanchen raised his hand to wipe his eyes, he couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Why are you crying, I haven't finished talking yet."

Then he continued to speak seriously: "I don't want to pursue the past, but there are some problems, I hope you can tell me honestly."

"You said, I will never hide anything from you again."

Ning Yuanchen looked into his eyes seriously: "Can you tell me why you treat me like that for Yan Shi? I have lived with you for so many years, and many ministers have reported that I am a rebellious minister with wolfish ambitions, and I will definitely be in chaos in the future. You didn't pay attention to stealing the country, and even demoted many ministers because of me. But why can a Yan family make you cut off all kindness to me, and even kill me?"

"I, I..." Gu Zhaoting was terrified by his question, as if he was about to kneel down and beg him for forgiveness in the next second.

Ning Yuanchen quickly calmed his emotions, and said: "I don't want to hold you accountable, I just want to know what went wrong between us. After all, I can't figure out why you treat me like that. It's not what you would do at all. The things that came out seemed to be manipulated by others. But if it was really your choice, then there must be something wrong between us that led to that ending. If we don’t solve this problem, we will leave Not far."

Seeing his kind attitude, Gu Zhaoting finally calmed down. After thinking for a long time, he hesitated and said, "Thinking about it now, it's really a bit strange..." He frowned, as if he didn't know how to describe it.

Ning Yuanchen patted the back of his hand and said: "You can think slowly first, it's not too late to talk later."

Gu Zhaoting nodded and said firmly, "I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

After sitting for a while, the two returned to the banquet hall. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a noble girl approaching and invited Gu Zhaoting to dance.Gu Zhaoting couldn't refuse a lady's invitation out of politeness, so he could only leave Ning Yuanchen where he was, and walked into the dance floor holding her hand.

The figures of the two were quickly submerged in the couples of men and women dancing on the dance floor. Ning Yuanchen was about to go back to find Wen Jin, when a female official leaned over and whispered in his ear; "Mr. Ning, the queen wants to find you in private. Let's talk, please come with me."
