HCB Chapter 213
Chapter 213
"Meet the princess."
"Greetings to the Princess and Princess."
"Hello, Madam Duke."
Madam Cheng bowed and greeted everyone one by one. Cheng Shurui, who was held by her hand, also bowed. When her eyes finally fell on Gu Zhiyin, her beautiful black eyes brightened a little, and she pursed her thin lips slightly, raising a shallow arc, smiling shyly and well-behavedly.
But what surprised everyone the most was the man who entered the room one step behind.
Chu Zhimo!
He stood at the door, wearing a white jade crown and a purple brocade robe with gold weaving. The collar and waist were decorated with intricate white algae patterns, all hand-embroidered, as skillfully as the work of nature. His eyes were slanted, and his black pupils were full of light, dazzling.
"I've met His Highness Sixth Prince."
Everyone stood up and saluted.
Chu Zhimo raised his head and said with a smile, "No need to be polite, everyone."
Then he took a long brocade box from the follower behind him and walked in front of Gu Zhiyin under the shocked gazes of everyone.
"New Year's gift, see if you like it?"
What?
Gu Zhiyin stared at Chu Zhimo blankly, forgetting to react.
No, it's okay for you to give gifts when you visit her, but what's the meaning of giving it to her alone?
Sixth Prince, do you know that this can easily lead to misunderstanding?
Mrs. Cheng's mouth twitched slightly, and she stroked her forehead helplessly, "Your Highness, please shut up."
"Princess, you saved His Highness' life that day. His Highness has always remembered this life-saving grace in his heart and has no way to repay you! I don't know what you like, but this authentic work of Master Yu from the previous dynasty took His Highness a lot of effort to get. I hope Your Highness will accept it." Madam Cheng explained with a smile.
Gu Zhiyin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard that. She took the brocade box and bowed with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Chu Zhimo looked at her, his thin lips curled slightly, his eyes sparkling like clear water. Then he turned to Wen and said, "I came here uninvited today, please forgive me, Princess."
Wen waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, we would love for His Highness to come."
Their palace was just hosting an ordinary New Year banquet, so they didn't have the nerve to send an invitation to the prince. Even though Yin Yin had saved the Sixth Prince not long ago, she had no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to curry favor with him. Who would have known that the Sixth Prince came today with Madam Cheng and gave them such a big stimulus right from the start.
It was almost a misunderstanding.
Fortunately, His Highness was just expressing his gratitude to Yinyin.
Chu Zhimo nodded slightly, and then went to the front yard.
This waterside pavilion was a place for entertaining female guests. As a prince, he was not required to come and pay his respects to the Wen family. However, the New Year gift he prepared for Gu Zhiyin had to be delivered to her personally.
When Chu Zhimo left, he took Cheng Shurui away with him.
The little guy pulled a face and looked extremely reluctant: "If you want to go, just go. Why do you want to take me with you?"
He hasn’t even had a chance to talk to Sister Gu, how annoying!
Chu Zhimo squinted at him and said, "They are all female guests. Is it appropriate for a man like you to stay there?"
Cheng Shurui: "I'm just a ten-year-old kid, what's inappropriate about that?"
"Haha!" Chu Zhimo said with a fake smile, "Girls and boys should not sit at the same table when they are seven years old. Where's your face?"
Cheng Shurui glared at him angrily: "..."
Can you please not throw this cousin away?
Chu Zhimo's eyes slightly turned aside, and he frowned at the little girl who followed Cheng Shurui closely. "Why did you bring her out?"
Cheng Shurui also looked at Fu Yunke who was tugging at his clothes from behind with a confused look on his face, and shook his head blankly: "I didn't."
