Chapter 2567: Loving the prince, but he doesn’t know (Part 13)

Luo Qing Chen sat down beside him and he helped her pour some tea.

The fragrant tea touched the water for the first time and the aroma of the tea lingered in the cup.

“I slept quite well.”  Luo Qing Chen put her cheeks in her hands and looked at Du Jiu Sheng with a blush on her face, “It feels like I’m not a maid, but rather a young miss.”

Actually, it wasn’t just a feeling, it was what it was!

She wanted to use a ‘radical’ way to stay by his side and had thought of countless possibilities.

Du Jiu Sheng was indifferent, Du Jiu Sheng would be disdainful, Du Jiu Sheng would hate her……

After all, this was their first time meeting and her bold ‘confession’ really wasn’t reserved.

But Du Jiu Sheng wasn’t indifferent, disdainful, or hated her.

Rather……he strangely pampered her……

Although he didn’t say it clearly, she could feel it.

“You never thought of being a maid when you came to the Cold North Palace, right!”  Du Jiu Sheng took a sip of the tea.  There was a faint sparkle in his deep eyes and a faint smile on his lips.

Without knowing why, his boring days from before had suddenly become meaningful.

“I……”  Luo Qing Chen pursed her lips and said, “How did I not come here to be a maid that protects herself!”

“You’re certain?”

Seeing Du Jiu Sheng questioning her with a playful tone, why did Luo Qing Chen feel that he was teasing her!?

Since it was like this, why not ‘hurt each other’!

She raised a brow and looked at him with an enamoured look, “I……Didn’t I come to the Cold North Palace with the dream of being big brother Jiu Sheng’s wife?”

There was a slight tremble in his eyes.  Du Jiu Sheng looked at her with a blush on his face, “This mouth!  Are you willing to get married to a poor prince?  If it wasn’t for the prefecture governor manor being framed, the one you should have married…..was the crown prince, right!”

Without knowing why, he felt a strange sense of pain in his heart in the latter half of his words.

Although he was the prince of the cold palace, he had only been keeping a low profile over the years.

He didn’t fight for the throne, but to build up his power.  He wasn’t willing to die without the ability to fight back.

He had used half an hour to learn everything about Luo Qing Chen.

The former daughter of the prefecture governor and the fiancee of the crown prince, Du Jiu Sheng.

“It seems like big brother Jiu Sheng has been keeping a low profile in the Cold North Palace.  You investigated my identity so quickly.”  Luo Qing Chen felt the change in his eyes and said with a smile, “Including the matter of the crown prince.”

“Could it be this has poked the pain in Qing’er’s heart?”  Du Jiu Sheng looked up with a dim glow in his eyes, but he couldn’t hide the emotions that were in them.

“Is big brother Jiu Sheng jealous?”  Luo Qing Chen looked at him with a happy look, “My dad was the one who saved the empress in the past and to repay my father, the empress had me engaged to the crown prince.  It’s a pity that the crown prince didn’t like me.”

Luo Qing Chen only said half of it to see Du Jiu Sheng’s reaction.

“So you didn’t marry him because he didn’t like you?”  Du Jiu Sheng narrowed his eyes as he felt very uncomfortable.

It was clear that they had just met today, but every word from her seemed to affect his emotions.

It was a feeling that he never felt before.  It was like an invisible thread that was pulling his and her life closer and closer together.
