"Is the Mountain and River Diagram that important?"

Gu Mingyan frowned, if he said that the map was extremely important, and not to be known by others, it was understandable.

However, over the course of many years, the mountains and rivers have changed, the terrain has changed, and even if he obtained the Mountain and River Diagram, it did not mean that he obtained it all, and he was even more easily misled by this rigid thing and could not make the right decision, not to mention that he hid it within his sword, it did not seem very important.

Xiao Qiran responded with silence. His eyes were cold, and it was obvious that he did not want to explain anything to her.

She had to pout and stare at the plate of pastries next to his hand with her cheek half propped up, thinking that now that the handsome emperor was here, the rest would be the gifts of the princes and princesses, and the singing and dancing that usually went on at the palace banquet, until midnight, and then when the time came.

She also wanted to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion and properly deal with the Madam Liu.

While he was indulged in his fantasy, his forehead was lightly tapped by the person beside him. He said in a low voice, "Sit properly."

She could only lazily withdraw her arm that was supporting her face and sat upright on the mat. Both her hands were on her thighs, but she was devoid of interest as she looked at the treasures that she had contributed. In her eyes, they were nothing more than hundreds of silver flowers, and they did not seem to be of much use.

To everyone's surprise, there was not a single handsome man who was more handsome than the one sitting on the dragon throne.

His body slightly tilted towards Xiao Qiran's side, and said in a small voice: "Your generation, actually doesn't have a single princess?"

Xiao Qiran no longer wanted to ask her why she hadn't noticed it until now and only replied: "This year's winter banquet is special. The princesses are all in their prime, it's inconvenient for them to attend.

His gaze was much gentler. Even though he and his sisters were not the same mother and son, they could still get along well since they were not competing for the right to be the same.

All of them were lively and cute, with a bit of willfulness. Royal father liked them even more, and if it wasn't for the imperial family's rules, Royal father would not easily let his daughters marry other people, but this winter banquet was indeed an ancestral system, so he could only follow the rules.

At most, they could choose to leave behind a few princesses during this year.

Xiao Qiran was well aware of royal father's thoughts, but in Gu Mingyan's opinion, they were nothing more than old customs.

Love for a husband is nothing more than a matter of course. When did it come about that a woman of appropriate age should marry someone of the same age? Thus, her expression turned cold: "You want to marry your sister that much? Are they women my age? "

"They are princesses, even though they have risen from the four seas and are rarely ever on friendly terms, they still carry the heavenly might of our royal family on their shoulders. If they were to be married to ordinary citizens, would you know what those ordinary citizens are thinking? Or did you intend to make use of it? "

Xiao Qiran's expression was full of contempt as he turned and rubbed her head, "Some of the higher ups would still be afraid, after all, their parents are in royal father's hands, but the commoners are all afraid, and even the Nine Clans are forced to cut off their daughter because of this, which is what it means to be a heartless emperor."

This voice was soft, for a moment, Gu Mingyan felt that he was his own daughter.

However, the big hand on top of her head was also warm, and she also understood that there were many considerations, but she could not help but say: "If I am not the young miss of Prime Minister's Mansion, I naturally would not be fated with you."

"Yes."

Xiao Qiran frankly admitted: "If you did not have that title, in the future, even if you saved my life and protected me with your life, you would not be able to marry you. Even if you were to use true love, you would not dare to even take half a step into the Palace.

He was stunned, this was an answer that made Gu Mingyan happy.

"Makes sense." Gu Mingyan nodded his head in agreement, then went forward and looked him in the eyes: "Everyone has their own fate, and what you say is not empty words, but in this world, there are people that you can't see clearly, and thus, there are two people in this world. When you were alive, you had an enemy, and all the people in this world have enemies, and all have their own bitter consequences."

It could be said that Xiao Qiran's personality was extremely to her liking.

There were only two paths in his life. Endure till the end, and be carefree until the end. Those who had their edges rubbed off had never truly lost their instincts. They only chose to endure.

As for that person who was passionate like fire and fearless of the dark, even though he was shackled and did not stop his footsteps, it still gave him a different feeling.

Who said that His Highness Seventh Prince was unsettled? In the opinion of Ming Yan, His Highness does not stop for a long time and has a carefree journey, not knowing what patience is. He actually dares to tell me about the secrets of the palace, why do you trust me so much?

Xiao Qiran was the second kind of person.

It was just to spray the passion in front of her eyes and let her see it.

But before Xiao Qiran could stop, he saw a pair of unmatched eyes on that young and tender face. It was completely different from his current age, and more like he had experienced many things, and finally returned to his original pair of eyes.

As he was watching in a daze, Xiao Qiran took the opportunity to pinch a strand of black hair by her ear, and laughed: "You're not saying that I'm heartless?"

"If it was Wuqing, you wouldn't have said the words' see her throw herself into someone else's embrace '."

Gu Mingyan laughed lightly and moved over to let him pinch her hair. He tilted his head and asked, "Since that's the case, you shouldn't treat Big Sister Shuang Hua too well.

After being speechless for a while, Xiao Qiran could not help but burst out laughing.

So it turns out that this girl was thinking about the matter between him and Shuang Hua.

"What are you laughing at?" Gu Mingyan's expression was stern, as she tapped the corner of his mouth with her finger: "If you say it like this, then Big Sister Shuang Hua is not from a powerful family, you think you won't marry her, and now you're hanging her up, how can she find a good person?"

The fingertip at the corner of his mouth was slightly cold, and his eyes slanted to the side in a serious manner, but it was hard to tell if he was serious or not.

Xiao Qiran grabbed her wrist to stop her moving, and could not help but ask: "Then tell me, should I chase or push?"

"Of course it's to be pushed out! Big Sister Shuang Hua is the best woman!" Gu Mingyan looked at him with wide eyes, it was as if he was looking at a man who had lost his heart. "You can't start and leave, and even more so, you can't be disinterested in Big Sister Shuang Hua. You can have groups of wives and concubines, but Big Sister Shuang Hua can only marry one person, that's not fair!"

Gu Mingyan's voice grew louder and louder.

Xiao Qiran lifted his hand to cover her mouth, and when the prince beside her looked over, he pressed her back down in her seat.

"Is this how I act?"

Xiao Qiran whispered into her ear.

"Men are all playboy, who knows if you are or not?"

Gu Mingyan unceremoniously rubbed his mouth that was just covered a moment ago, and then wiped it on his sleeve.

"Since you're sitting beside me, why did you provoke the crown prince in the afternoon?"

"When did I provoke His Highness the Crown Prince!?"

Gu Mingyan opened his mouth wide.
