Chapter 507: Love without a clue (11)

Facing her mother’s questioning, Gu Meng’er blushed instantly: “Mother, please don’t talk nonsense. How dare I covet the prince?”

Seeing her daughter like this, Sun Mengli understood everything.

Then, she sighed heavily and said, “With our family background, it’s not that we can’t help you achieve your wish, but I don’t want you to enter the palace.”

Now that her mother had seen through her, the little girl no longer hid it: “Mom, are you worried that I will be wronged in the future?”

Sun Mengli nodded and said, “I’ve had enough of the frustration and depression of being trapped by love and bound by power in my life, so I don’t want you to follow my old path.”

Zhang died before Gu Meng’er was born, and the little girl did not witness the conflicts between her parents.

The little girl blinked her innocent eyes and said, “Although Daddy married someone else, he always loved Mommy, and Mommy also liked Daddy. Isn’t that enough?”

Sun Mengli smiled bitterly and replied, “It’s good for two people to be in love, but if power and interests are involved, even the strongest relationship will be worn out. Although I eventually became your father’s wife and we were equal, the hardships and grievances that mother went through when Zhang was alive are engraved in my heart for the rest of my life. What’s the use of love? If I had to choose again, when your father was forced to marry Zhang, I would never be so infatuated as to be his mistress and spend my best years in pain. Instead of that, I would rather choose someone from a simple family who can treat me wholeheartedly.”

She paused, raised her hand and gently stroked her daughter’s head: “So, mother wanted to marry you to Zhao’er because she saw that his family is simple and you don’t have to endure those troubles in the future.”

“Although the prince is good, once he enters the palace, it’s like entering a deep sea. In the future, he may marry many daughters of powerful ministers to consolidate his power. Rather than wasting time among so many women, it’s better to marry someone who is less troublesome.”

Gu Meng’er stammered, “But the prince is a man of his own ideas. I don’t believe he will be coerced by others.”

Sun Mengli said: “Silly child, you are still too young. He is the crown prince, the future emperor. Even if he has you in his heart now, he will put the country first.”

The little girl was silent for a moment, then she retorted, “But the current emperor only has the queen. I have been in the palace so many times and I have seen with my own eyes that even at his old age, he still has a special affection for Queen Qin and dotes on her very much.”

The originally serious Sun Mengli was amused by his daughter’s mention of “old age” and started laughing: “Your Majesty is one year younger than your father, don’t say that about him.”

The little girl retorted: “Isn’t my father old?”

He added: “They are all old, at least, compared to us.”

Yes, they are all old, and their children are already old enough to get married, so how can they not grow old?

Zuoyou also opened his heart to his mother, and the always straightforward Gu Meng’er simply admitted generously: “I like the prince.”

“I don’t know when I started to like him.”

She looked at her mother, her face twisted with worry. “I understand what my mother said, but I still can’t control my heart. I went out today and met him on the street. He confessed his feelings to me. I felt happy and nervous at the same time. But he is too smart. He always sees through my thoughts, which makes me feel scared.”

As she spoke, the little girl threw herself into her mother’s arms: “Mom, I am really conflicted. I am afraid of him, but I can’t bear to leave him.”

That night, although Gu Meng’er had her mother’s caring company, she still couldn’t sleep well.

As soon as she closed her eyes, the prince’s figure appeared in her mind, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.

Because she did not sleep well at night, the little girl took a nap in the pavilion after breakfast the next day. Perhaps she was too tired and sleepy, she finally fell asleep.

She was sleeping soundly when she heard the little maid pushing her aside and calling, “Miss, there is someone outside the door looking for you.”

Even though she was asleep, Gu Meng’er woke up instantly when she heard these words.

The prince came, Lu Chengyun came to see her again. She was inexplicably happy in her heart.

“Where is he?” She rubbed her eyes and got out of bed immediately.

“The person is outside the mansion. The servant at the gate came to report.” said the little maid.

Gu Meng’er put on her clothes and went out. When she looked up, she saw Lu Chengyun standing at the door of her house with a handsome appearance.

“Why don’t you come in?” She looked at him and couldn’t help asking.

Seeing someone coming out, Lu Chengyun took a few steps forward, with a smile on his face, and replied: “I want to go in, but I’m afraid it’s too abrupt.”

Gu Meng’er couldn’t help but glared at him: “You are the prince, isn’t it rude to come here like this?”

Seeing that the other party was in a good mood, Lu Chengyun’s originally anxious heart also settled down a little, and he couldn’t help but joked: “I know it’s not appropriate to come here so rashly, but there’s nothing I can do. I’m afraid that I upset you yesterday and made you angry with me. In fact, I wanted to come to you last night to apologize. I’ve been waiting until now, which is already the limit.”

Gu Meng’er burst out laughing when she heard this: “You are the most dignified and serious Crown Prince, how can you be so childish?”

Seeing people laughing, Lu Chengyun also laughed: “It depends on who you are with. I can be steady and serious with others, but I can’t do that with you.”

Gu Meng’er glared at him, then shyly made a ‘please’ gesture: “Come in, Your Highness, please stand here. If my father finds out, he will blame me for being indecent.”

“Don’t rush to see Uncle Gu.”

Lu Chengyun still stood at the door, looking at Gu Meng’er and asked, “My behavior yesterday was a bit abrupt, but heaven and earth can testify that I was absolutely sincere and it was not something I did on impulse.”

The young man tried his best to express his feelings, and his handsome face turned red.

“I understand.” After a long time, the little girl replied hesitantly.

Lu Chengyun glanced at her quietly: “Then can you agree?”

Gu Meng’er raised her head and glanced at Lu Chengyun: “How could you like me? The Queen has selected so many noble ladies to enter the palace, and each one is better than me.”

The young man was delighted when he heard this: “I am choosing a wife for myself, not a talented woman. I just follow my heart.”

He looked at her with clear eyes and said sincerely: “I just like you. I feel very comfortable and at ease when I am with you.”

The little girl’s face turned red.

He continued, “You said that being a prince is a tough job and I should find joy in the hardship. Then, I’m afraid you are the only one in this world who can be the only joy in my miserable life.”

The little girl, blushing with shame, couldn’t help but laugh: “Look at what you said. If you don’t agree, it’s like you’ve been pushed into a sea of ​​suffering.”

Hearing this, Lu Chengyun’s eyes curved with joy: “As long as you agree.”

“You bring me joy, and I will never let you down in this life.”

As he spoke, he stepped forward, took her hand, and strode towards the Gu Mansion: “Since you agreed, I will have the confidence to meet Uncle and Aunt Gu.”
