Chapter 248

 In a dark corner under the stage where the bonfire cannot reach, Wei Hanzhang stood quietly wearing a cloak.

 The hood of the cloak covered most of her head, and the light was dim, so no one around her recognized her.

 And she didn’t know what she was waiting for standing here.

 Autumn wind keeps the noise around you into your ears.

She saw the man on the high platform nodding lightly and lightly praised: "You play well."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding ministers had different feelings.

  Or annoyed, or surprised, or envious.

Yongyihou couldn't hide his joy and hurriedly said to his daughter: "Why don't you thank your highness quickly?"

The girl playing the piano showed just the right amount of shyness on her face. She moved her graceful figure to the middle and bowed gracefully: "Your Majesty, He Lian'er, thank you for your compliment."

Xiao Junzhan held the wine glass, looked at the graceful girl with slightly lowered eyes, and said: "Continue."

He Lian'er was startled at first, but then she realized what she was doing, and she agreed with her face full of shyness.

The sound of the piano sounded again, but this time it was no longer a majestic marching song, but an affectionate Jiangnan tune.

Wei Hanzhang grew up in the south of the Yangtze River and also learned the art of piano. He can tell that this is the famous smoke and cloud tune in the south of the Yangtze River, which is mostly played by men when they pursue women.

This Miss He has extraordinary piano skills. Her **** skills on the strings are smooth and smooth, which is pleasing to the eye. Even those who don't know the name of the music can still hear the girl's shyness and admiration in the melodious sound of the piano.

 …Whoever sees her doesn’t say “love” to me, “love my husband”.

 It’s not wrong for men to be romantic, beauties should be matched with heroes.

 Especially for the current prince and the future emperor.

Wei Hanzhang stood in the cold wind and listened to the music for a while, then turned around slowly, saw the worried eyes of the maid, smiled slightly and said: "You go back first, I will stay by myself for a while."

The man on the high platform seemed to feel something. He frowned slightly and looked down. After finding nothing, he looked back, raised his glass and said calmly: "How is she?"

Ning Hai, who was standing by the side, quickly realized who was asking the question and said cautiously: "After you left, Miss Wei cried for half an hour. The medicine that should be used at night has just been sent over. She should drink it to prepare for rest."

 Crying for half an hour…

Xiao Junzhan paused for a moment. The little girl's eyes were all red and swollen from crying. No one was there to comfort her, so she could only fall asleep aggrievedly.

He tried to suppress his heartache, but in the end he put down his glass of wine and stood up, striding off the stage.

How could he cry so much? He thought she would be happy if he left.

The melodious piano music was jittery for a few beats.

He Lian'er, who was playing the piano, subconsciously held her breath as she watched His Highness the Crown Prince approach, who was above all others.

The ministers all had different looks in their eyes, and while they were thinking, Xiao Junzhan walked past her and left without stopping.

  Not even a glance of pity from the corner of my eye.

Ning Hai sighed secretly.

 Sure enough, except when facing that person, his Highness is still the same as before.

 Not approachable to women, indifferent and without desire.

 In the women's banquet, Jiang Zhixue could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

She said, "How could the Crown Prince, who has such high eyesight, see such a trivial trick?"

That man is so full of heart and eyes that he may not be able to let go of others.

 …

Of course, the master and the servant were in vain, and Wei Hanzhang was not in the tent.

Luzhu said: "The girl said she was bored in the tent and wanted to go for a walk by herself."

 Xiao Junzhan looked at the empty camp and said, "Did she take medicine on her chin?"

Lvzhu lowered his eyes to hide his anger: "...I got it."

Xiao Junzhan glanced at her, "What's the dinner? Is it useful?" "After a few mouthfuls, I said I have no appetite." Luzhu pursed her lips and suddenly knelt down and said, "I have been serving the girl for many years, and this is the first time I have seen her cry. So sad, just now on the competition stage, you..."

 “You went to the deer competition stage?” Xiao Junzhan frowned slightly, “She cried again?”

 “I’m not crying,” Lu Zhu shook her head slowly: “But I know that the girl feels uncomfortable.”

Hearing this, Xiao Junzhan was startled, stood there for a long time, opened the curtain and walked out.

Where is Wei Hanzhang now?

 She was by a stream not far from the camp.

  Hold your knees and sit on a big rock, listening to the sound of gurgling water.

There are bright lights in the distance, but here it is dim and no one will notice.

 But even this place was being robbed by someone.

There was a familiar sound of footsteps behind him. Wei Hanzhang's eyelashes trembled. He lowered his hands holding his face and folded them on his knees, then rested his chin on them.

At first glance, it just makes people feel gentle, peaceful, obedient and cute.

Gu Yunran never thought that these two words would appear on his little green plum.

He stood there and took a deep breath, "It was windy at night. Are you healed? Are you afraid of catching the cold when you go out alone?"

He spoke rashly, and Wei Hanzhang was not surprised. They had grown up together, so don’t think that the sound of this man’s footsteps could deceive her.

But she didn't want to speak, so she remained silent and motionless.

Gu Yunran waited for a while, thinking of the rumors he had heard in the past two days, he walked up to her and said softly: "Are you in a bad mood?"

Wei Hanzhang lowered his eyes and said, "It's really not good."

Under the moonlight, her face was blurry, but her hoarse voice could not be hidden from anyone.

Gu Yunran's expression changed, and he knelt down in front of her, but with the light behind him, he still couldn't see her face clearly.

I don’t know if she cried.

"Don't stay here anymore," he squatted in front of him, and Wei Hanzhang lowered his eyes just enough to see him, and said, "We have an awkward status and can't be alone."

The young man stood still and said softly: "You have changed a lot."

Such an arrogant and wanton girl would be so cautious.

Wei Hanzhang's nose felt sore and he almost cried again.

She endured it for a long time before saying, "We have all changed. Gu Yunran, how are you doing?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she reacted.

Look at what she asked.

His wife just died, so even if he no longer has any feelings for her, how can he be called a good man after he becomes a widower?

Gu Yunran didn't mind at all and just said: "Do you know what the eldest princess said to me on the day Qi Yuxiao was buried?"

Wei Hanzhang tilted his neck and looked at him, "What?"

"She told me that the reason why she forced my family to come to propose marriage that day was because someone gave her instructions," he said in a low voice. "Even if the wedding date is so urgent and is set within a month, it was that person who made the decision."

  "Ran Ran, tell me, who can force the eldest princess to marry her daughter off in a hurry?"

 Does she still need to say this?

Wei Hanzhang lowered his eyes and remained silent.

 After waiting for a while, Gu Yunran said: "We originally..."

"We would have had no results in the first place," she interrupted: "Princess Chengyi has fallen in love with you, and the eldest princess is obedient to her, and you and your Gu family can't refuse the eldest princess, even if he doesn't say anything. , you will eventually marry Qi Yuxiao, it’s just sooner or later.”

Gu Yunran's whole body froze.

 She was right, he was in a humble position and Qi Yuxiao insisted on marrying, so he had no choice but to marry.

 He smiled bitterly: "These days, I often think how great it would be if we had been in Xuzhou."
