That night, Prince Wei's Mansion.

Gu Chen stepped into the door of the mansion and saw Zhao Hongling sitting alone in the corridor, waiting for him.

She was wearing a home-style pomegranate red trousers, her black hair was half loose, she had not put on any makeup, and her brows and eyes were full of idleness.

She knew that he would be late to see his friends today.

And he and she had already had such a self-evident tacit understanding.

Huai'an and Huaining had already gone to bed.

She and several servants were still waiting for each other quietly under the lamp in the mansion.

This tacit understanding has lasted a lifetime.

It's like this every night, never changes.

Gu Chen stepped into the hall.

"Brother."

Gu Chenxing walked up to her and stared at her.

Not a word was spoken.

Suddenly he reached out his hand and took her into his arms.

The hug was very tight, her ear was firmly pressed against his heart, and his heartbeat could be heard through the fabric.

Zhao Hongling was stunned: "Brother Chen? What's wrong?"

She didn't push him.

She had never seen him like this.

If in the past, she had asked him to take the initiative to hug her like this, it would have taken her a lot of ingenuity and a lot of wrapping around her fingers before Brother Chen would clumsily take the initiative to hug her.

Besides, there were maids watching helplessly.

For a moment, all the maids waiting in the hall were stunned.

Who doesn't know the prince's usual dull temperament?

After many years of service, this was the first time I saw him hugging the princess for no reason.

The old housekeeper was still well-informed, so he quickly made a gesture and quietly dismissed a few maids who were still stunned.

Gu Chen refused to let go.

He closed his eyes and buried his face in her hair.

That faint scent smells like home.

After a long time, his voice slowly reached her ears, and he called out in a low voice: "Hong Ling."

"Yeah."

"I don't know how to tell you. In short, this matter is really complicated. But I want to tell you that I am honored to meet you in this life."

Zhao Hongling was puzzled for a moment, but she still curled her lips and responded with a smile:

"Brother, I am also honored."

Gu Chen let go of her and then said: "Tomorrow, accompany me to a place. Zhuanling Temple."

Although Brother Chen took the initiative to hug her and she was very happy, this was really not Brother Chen's style.

"Why, are you going to pray for someone?"

"No."

She couldn't help but ask: "What's the reason for that? Brother Chen, what happened to you tonight? Didn't you go to see off a good friend? And you suddenly have to go to Zhuanling Temple."

"I'll tell you tomorrow."

After all, he couldn't fully confirm this today.

-------

The next day, before daylight came through, Gu Chen had already stood up.

He stood in front of the window, looking at the gray sky outside.

What Pei Zhang said last night has been swirling in his mind.

Gu Chen returned to the bedside, sat sideways for a moment, and lowered his eyes to look at Zhao Hongling's sleeping face.

He never felt that time had taken away anything from her.

No matter when, no matter how many times I watch it, I never get tired of it.

Looking left and right, horizontally and vertically, he felt that she would always make his heart beat.

After a while, Zhao Hongling opened her eyes drowsily: "Brother Chen, is it so early?"

"We agreed last night to go to Zhuanling Temple." Gu Chen said, "You accompany me."

Zhao Hongling rubbed her eyes and regained consciousness: "I had a bad dream yesterday, brother."

Gu Chen reached out and gently brushed away the broken hair from her forehead: "What did you dream about?"

"Oh, I dreamed that I would die alone and never marry for you. You...you married Sister Liu, but she always treated you badly."

Gu Chen smiled and his movements of touching her were still gentle: "Fortunately, that was just a dream."

"Well, when I woke up, I found that Brother Chen was beside me."

Although Zhao Hongling said this in an understatement, she still felt in her heart that the dream last night was so long and so real.

However, everything is false after all.

This is the most important thing.

She sat up, called the maids in, changed her clothes and made up, and arranged everything properly.

When the couple was about to go out, Gu Huaian had already gotten up and was doing his morning homework.
