As soon as she took two steps forward, An Ruowan unconsciously looked back. She always felt like someone was staring at her in the dark.
But when she turned around, she saw nothing, which made her frown slightly.
But she hadn't found Song Li yet, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried in her eyes.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, which made her subconsciously look back, just in time to see Gu Beichen walking towards her.
"My lord, when you come over there, have you seen cousin Song Li?"
Gu Beichen shook his head slightly, Qingfeng took half a step forward and bowed to An Ruowan.
"Mrs. Zhao seems to be at the table."
Although she didn't know when Song Li returned, since she was safe and sound, An Ruowan was relieved.
"Let's go."
Seeing An Ruowan's face relax, Gu Beichen walked in with her.
After the two figures disappeared, a figure walked out of the darkness, staring in the direction they left, narrowing his narrow eyes.
"Princess Rong, Princess Yuanshuang, it's true that seeing her is better than hearing it a hundred times."
In fact, An Ruowan's feeling just now was correct, there was indeed someone in the dark, but at this moment, he didn't want to be discovered, so he hid his appearance.
Before he could recover, someone was already running over behind him, panting, "Your Highness, why are you here? The Queen ordered me to invite you over."
After the words fell, the figure in front of him slowly turned around.
Gu Cong's face is not very similar to Gu Qishen's. If anything, it is somewhat similar to Gu Beichen's.
Under the leadership of the servant, Gu Cong went straight to the queen and bowed to the two of them.
"My son, I have met my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen."
When the emperor saw Gu Cong coming over, he nodded slightly and asked him to sit aside.
But with the appearance of Gu Cong, everyone's eyes fell on one place uncontrollably.
If it weren't for Shen Qinghai's wedding today, I might not even be able to see him.
On weekdays, the prince is only busy with government affairs and rarely appears on such occasions.
Maybe it was An Ruowan's misunderstanding, but she always felt that Gu Cong's eyes seemed to stay on her for an extra long time.
When An Ruowan looked up, Gu Cong had returned to his upright expression, making it impossible to see any flaws.
On the contrary, she thought of something else when she saw His Highness the Crown Prince in front of her. She found Qin Xianglian's figure in the crowd, and saw her staring intently in front of her.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was drinking and chatting in groups. An Ruowan sat at the banquet, feeling bored.
Just as she was recalling how difficult it was for the newlyweds to achieve success today, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, causing her to subconsciously look up, her eyes filled with surprise and she raised her brows.
"I've met Auntie Huang."
Gu Cong noticed the surprise in An Ruowan's eyes, smiled and leaned slightly towards her.
Seeing this, An Ruowan couldn't continue to sit. He stood up and nodded slightly, "Is there something wrong, Your Highness?"
Gu Cong unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth, "If nothing happens, I can't come to see the Emperor's aunt?"
A flash of surprise flashed across An Ruowan's eyes, and before she could say anything, she heard Gu Cong continue speaking.
"This is the first time I have met the Emperor's Aunt. The Emperor's Aunt is no different from what I imagined."
For some reason, An Ruowan always felt that there was something in Gu Cong's words.
Before she could think about it, Gu Beichen strode to her side, stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, and raised his eyes to look in front of him.
Sensing the displeasure in Gu Beichen's eyes, Gu Cong unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I have met the emperor uncle."
Gu Beichen responded calmly, not caring what he wanted to do, he just felt that he had some ulterior motives when he came to An Ruowan.
"This palace has long heard of Princess Rong's name, but has never had the chance to meet her. Now that we finally meet her, your uncle is really lucky."
After the words fell, Gu Beichen simply took a step forward and protected An Ruowan behind him, "I remember that the prince is of marriageable age. I wonder if the queen has any arrangements?"
As soon as these words came out, several people around him quickly looked at his nose, nose and heart, for fear of hearing something they shouldn't hear.
Only the two people in front of him seemed not to notice anything. Gu Cong raised the corners of his mouth slightly and cupped his hands at Gu Beichen.
"Thank you for your trouble, uncle. We have no plans for the time being. If the Queen Mother has any arrangements, we will inform your uncle of the matter as soon as possible."
"Get a wife as soon as possible so that the emperor can rest assured."
After saying these words, Gu Beichen felt that Gu Cong should leave, but Gu Cong's eyes fell on An Ruowan again.
"If I had met such a lovely person like Auntie Huang as soon as possible, maybe I wouldn't have waited until now."
The look in Gu Beichen's eyes became more fierce, but disappeared completely in an instant, and he sneered, "So what the prince means is that if he had met Wanwan earlier, she would not be Princess Rong now. But the Crown Princess?"
When the last word fell, all the momentum around Gu Beichen was released.
The emperor quickly noticed that something was wrong here, but he didn't know what happened, so he just looked towards this place.
"You uncle and nephew haven't seen each other for a long time. Did you say a few more words after all?"
As the emperor's words fell, Gu Congcai turned around with a smile, "Of course, the emperor's uncle thought about it for me and advised him to marry as soon as possible."
Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help laughing and said, "Zi Tan is really a worried person."
With this interruption, Gu Cong did not stay any longer. He cupped his hands with the two people in front of him and turned back to the queen.
But the expression on Gu Beichen's face did not calm down for a long time. He lowered his eyes for a long time before suppressing the anger in his eyes.
Although An Ruowan remained silent the whole time, she came out from behind Gu Beichen at this moment, put her palm into Gu Beichen's palm, and looked up at him.
"In my impression, the prince would not be so restless."
Hearing An Ruowan's voice, Gu Beichen's cold aura was broken at this moment, "It doesn't matter, this prince has always been uneasy and kind-hearted. If you see him, just pretend you haven't seen him before."
An Ruowan nodded to him, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have a sense of discretion in my heart."
Seeing that she agreed to the matter, Gu Beichen didn't go back and simply sat with An Ruowan.
During the banquet, the figures of the two sitting together were particularly conspicuous, but that person was Prince Rong. Even the emperor did not speak, so naturally it was difficult for others to say anything.
An Ruowan didn't say much, but she didn't take back her hand.
The two of them were sitting together, truly a pleasing couple.
Even after Gu Beichen sat down, his eyes still fell on Gu Cong from time to time, but since Gu Cong returned, he has been staring at him and never looked here again.
The movement here also fell into the eyes of Princess Pingning. She rolled her eyes, summoned a maid at random, and whispered something in her ear.
The maid looked troubled and was about to say something, but Princess Pingning's eyes widened impatiently.
"You are a little maid, can't I command you?"
When she said this, the maid didn't dare to say anything more. She could only bite her lips and stand up, walking quickly towards a certain place.
