C88 The Ghost Spirit Girl!

“Red Jade, Red Jade, what did you bring me?” Lan Qingqian held the two candy in her hands tightly. “Zhou mama, I will talk to Red Jade!”

Zhou mama saw her and immediately smiled. “Yes, I know!” She immediately told Red Jade, “Red Jade, stop working and go play with Ninth Prince. Remember to take good care of Ninth Prince and don’t let anything happen.”

They were all old people in the palace and naturally knew what was important. The thing that the prince liked was naturally something that he had to take care of first.

Red Jade wiped her hands and took the candy from her. Lan Qingqian was especially happy. “You hid it well. Don’t let San Qi find out. He always likes to steal my candy.” She had always guarded against San Qi because San Qi loved to tease her. Every time San Qi stole her candy, he would leave a mark on her. She was so angry that she was like a cat that had its fur blown off.

Red Jade nodded. She thought that if San Qi really wanted to steal her candy, she wouldn’t dare to refuse.

She had been living outside since she was young. She wasn’t like a child that had a golden spoon. She wasn’t as good as a few copper coins when it came to these sweet things.

However, she didn’t dare to say it and pretended to be happy.

“Thank you, Ninth Prince!”

Lan Qingqian patted her shoulder. “Don’t worry. Butler Jiang and I have talked. No one will dare to bully you. You can eat as much as you want. You won’t starve. If anyone dares to bully you, you can come to Freezing Frost Courtyard and tell me. I will beat him up.”

Hongyu nodded, “Alright!”

Just as they were talking, Chun Su hurriedly said, “Your Highness, why did you come out so early? Hurry up and change into some thick clothes. You are weak. What if you get frostbite?”

She picked up Lan Qingqian and left.

On the way, she kept whispering.

Hongyu looked at her and felt envious. It was so nice to have someone to care about!

When the Ninth Princess left, the old lady immediately said, “Hongyu, come and pick the vegetables. We need to prepare the food quickly. Otherwise, the Prince will come back late and we will be punished.”

Hongyu whispered to the old lady, “The Prince seems to be very scary!”

The old lady smiled, “The Prince is cold, but he is not harsh to the servants. As long as they are loyal and do not make mistakes, they will not be punished. However, the Little Mistress in the residence, the Ninth Princess, must be extra careful. If she loses a strand of her hair, we will be in trouble. But don’t be afraid. Our Ninth Highness is strong and she eats a lot. She is as kind and cute as the other children.”

Hongyu nodded, “Is the Ninth Highness the Prince’s sister? Why does she call the Prince ‘Old Marquis’, sometimes ‘Imperial Uncle’, and sometimes ‘Father’?” Lan Qingqian was only six years old.

The old lady said, “Our Prince married the Ninth Princess for the marriage…” She told Hongyu about their relationship.

When Hongyu sent the gifts over, she saw Lan Qingqian sitting on the tree and picking plum blossoms. A young man dressed in white and red was standing under the tree with a straight face. His face was cold, but his dark eyes were filled with patience. He kept staring at the little girl on the tree, afraid that she would fall down.

Hongyu couldn’t help but be stunned. She had never seen a man who was prettier than the Seventh Prince. The young masters who often visited the Pleasure Tower were not even close to him.

“Old Prince Consort, look, I picked so many plum blossoms! We can make plum cake and make tea!” There was a smile and joy in his voice. Hongyu had never heard such a cheerful and unrestrained laughter before. It was like the music from the heavens.

“Old Prince Consort, hold on to me. I’m going to jump down!” Lan Qingqian was very good at climbing trees, but she couldn’t do much when she jumped down. Whenever she was with Gu Jun’an, she climbed up and jumped down to let Gu Jun’an catch her.

A pink figure jumped down. Gu Jun’an caught it with great skill and held it in his arms. He seemed to have weighed it seriously. There was a rare seriousness in his cold eyes. “Yes, if I raise a pig, I can feed it.”

Lan Qingqian protested, “Have you ever seen a pig that looks like me?”

Hongyu saw the two of them talking as they walked over and quickly left with the gifts.

She bumped into someone on the way and scared Hongyu. She said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose!” She looked up and saw a young man in white clothes. He looked like a star in the galaxy. He still had a carefree smile on his face.

Gu Xinghe looked at Hongyu seriously and teased, “It seems that Seventh Brother really likes to be a father at such a young age. Why did you get a little bean sprout to raise him? But this one looks pretty good. Seventh Brother really knows how to pick people!”

Hongyu was stunned. Then, she realized that she was comparing her to the Ninth Princess.

“Don’t stand there stupidly. Bring me to see your Royal Highness!”

Hongyu was still carrying the things. She didn’t dare to refute and could only send him over first.

Actually, Gu Xinghe found the Seventh Lake Courtyard because he wanted to tease this little maid. He couldn’t touch the little bean sprout, let alone talk to it. But he could tease her a little.

Seeing her carrying the things and the clothes she was wearing, Gu Xinghe smiled and said, “These are all little bean sprouts of the same age. The difference is quite big. One is rampant in the residence, while the other needs to work. It seems that having good looks really has an advantage!”

He patted her on the head and smiled.

“But you are much better than her. At least you won’t bite people like a little wolf cub!”

Hongyu sent him over, but her mind was still thinking about what Gu Xinghe said.

The Seventh Prince liked young girls?

Then wouldn’t I be able to get a little bit of his love just like the Ninth Princess?

Just like the Ninth Princess, he would be able to let her be the one who loved him and treat him well.

The first person Gu Xinghe saw when he came in was Lan Qingqian.

“What are you doing here, Gu Xiaowu?”

Gu Xinghe frowned, “You should call me Brother Five.” Seeing Lan Qingqian’s pink face, Gu Xinghe couldn’t help but want to reach out to touch her. When he reached her, he saw her clenching her fist. He was scared.

He immediately pulled back and touched his clothes as if nothing had happened. He continued, “Well, I came to invite Old Seven to drink.”

“Can you bring me along?” Lan Qingqian heard that they were having fun and immediately followed behind him.

Gu Xinghe smiled, “You’re just a little girl. What kind of wine are you drinking? What kind of beauty are you looking at?” His words were filled with disdain.

Lan Qingqian immediately said, “I heard you say that the Third Princess’s little girl is ugly like a monkey. Next time I see the Third Princess or Third Prince, I’ll tell them.” The Third Princess had a new little princess. The newborns were all wrinkled. Gu Xinghe went to join in the fun and said that they were ugly like monkeys. He said it in a very low voice, but Lan Qingqian heard it.

“Hey, you little bean sprout, watch me sew your mouth!” He wanted to grab Lan Qingqian as he spoke.

Lan Qingqian turned around and ran into the house. While running, she said, “Gu Xiaowu, how dare you call the old son-in-law a pervert!”

She ran into Gu Jun’an’s arms right when she entered the door.

Gu Jun’an stood at the door, staring coldly at Gu Xinghe.
