Chapter 111 Disguise

Ruan Youqing spent the past few days in the Nanting people's barracks...not like a prisoner should live.

Not to mention delicious food and drink, every evening, that Prince Nanting would spare half or an hour to chat with her for a while.

According to his own words, always pay attention to her situation. In case... One day I can't think about it and feel wronged and insulted and commit suicide.

Regarding this, Ruan Youqing could only smile awkwardly.

It wasn't until another chat that Ruan Youqing found out that for this Prince Nanting, her father and grandfather... are equivalent to the terrifying shadows of children who are disobedient at night and are used to intimidate them.

That's why Prince Nanting treated her so courteously.

The other party chatted with her so frankly, she didn't want to be too hostile.

It's just... that Gongsun Sheng would chat with Ruan Youqing every time after Prince Nanting left.

for example..

"Don't think that because our prince treats you well, you are not a prisoner."

"Our prince is just here to coax you, don't take it seriously."

On this day, Prince Nanting came to find Ruan Youqing again.

Ruan Youqing at this time is different from when he left yesterday, the two of them were chatting and laughing yesterday, but today he just opened the curtain to go in, and saw Ruan Youqing shrinking back like a beast.

Prince Nanting was very puzzled, because the relationship between the two was already considered harmonious, but every time he came to find her the next day, the other party looked at him in horror.

Then, he took the trouble to comfort her.

"Youqing...what's the matter? Why every time Gu finds you again, you always go back to the time when you were estranged from Gu again." Prince Nanting looked slightly surprised, and continued to walk forward.

Ruan Youqing pursed her lips without saying a word, but her eyes glanced out unconsciously.

Prince Nanting tilted his head slightly, then frowned and said to the guards outside the tent: "You all go back first, there is someone alone here."

The guards outside the tent looked at each other, and said in embarrassment: "His Royal Highness, it is General Gongsun who asked us to watch here..."

"Gu or General Gongsun, who do you think is more important?" Prince Nanting still spoke gently, but his tone seemed to be born with an undeniable coercion of the emperor's family.

The guard then left.

Hearing that there was no movement outside, Prince Nanting turned his head to look at Ruan Youqing who was far away from him, and said helplessly: "Okay, you can say something now."

Then Ruan Youqing's eyes were slightly red, and he said softly: "You...your general Gongsun... said...you treated me so tenderly because you lied to me...I...just a prisoner. So...your attitude towards me has always been Is it fake?"

Prince Nanting heard this, and walked forward, with a touch of loneliness in his eyes: "You Qing, you are indeed...just a captive to us now, but...this does not conflict with Gu being kind to you."

"But.."

「Is it General Gongsun who came here and said something ugly?」

Ruan Youqing lowered his head and nodded lightly, as if he had been wronged.

Seeing this, Prince Nanting continued to speak softly: "General Gongsun, he is just doing his own thing. If he is like Gu, he may not have much prestige in the army in the future. But Gu is different. Those who like to do things. I think you are very good, so I came to chat with you."

Ruan Youqing then raised his head, with complicated eyes: "But...but you are from Nanting, I am from Ningguo, we...we can't always be so harmonious..."

"However, we can still be friends before we are officially hostile." Prince Nanting smiled with his eyes bent.

The young man's eyes were as clear as a pool of clear water, it was easy, and it made people feel good.

After thinking for a while, Ruan Youqing nodded with some relief and said, "That's true, let's talk about the future. It is a great honor for you to meet such a speculative friend as the prince."

"Why don't you just call me by my name!" Prince Nanting suddenly moved closer to Ruan Youqing, and his smile at this time seemed even more cordial.

His eyes widened in fear, Ruan Youqing whispered in disbelief, "Can I call you by your name?"

"That's right! Don't use honorifics either! After all, Gu is the prince of Nanting, and you are a citizen of Ningguo. Remember, Gu is called Baili Huaijin, and you can be called Gu Huaijin."

"Huaijin? Huaijin holding Yu..." Ruan Youqing murmured.

Nanting Crown Prince Baili Huaijin continued to smile and nod harmlessly.

Finally, under his expectation, the delicate girl Yingying smiled and called him Huaijin.

Boys and girls happily together will only make people feel harmonious.

The two chatted for a long time before Baili Huaijin reluctantly left.

Smiling and waving goodbye to him, seeing him leave completely, the smile on Ruan Youqing's face faded instantly.

In the past few days, Baili Huaijin has been getting along with her like this. It looks very sincere, even...sometimes a little unworldly and simple.

However, Ruan Youqing knew in her heart that everything the other party showed her was a disguise.

Just like her.

She has heard about the Baili family, the royal family of Nanting Kingdom.

Nanting's succession to the throne is very different from their Ningguo.

Generally speaking, the succession to the throne is mostly the eldest son inheritance system.

Nanting, on the other hand, does not stand out for its strengths.

This excellent naturally refers to being superior to others.

Baili Huaijin is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he has already been established as the crown prince. Although he was rumored to be talented, his talent alone was not enough for the emperor of Nanting Kingdom to appoint him as the crown prince.

so..

This Prince Nanting is not as pure and simple as he has shown.

On the contrary... the city is extremely deep.

Therefore, Ruan Youqing completely gave up the idea of ??abducting him back as a prisoner after getting along with him in the past few days.

This person...not to be provoked easily.

Ruan Youqing is thinking carefully.

Baili Huaijin on the other side has also gone to find Gongsun Sheng.

"General Gongsun, you don't have to go these few days." At this time, Baili Huaijin seemed to be a different person. His expression was no longer as warm as when he was with Ruan Youqing, instead it was gloomy like an iceberg howling in the cold wind.

Gongsun Sheng is no longer as domineering as he is with others at this moment, but becomes extremely submissive.

Originally, he thought that the prince was really sent here by the emperor.

As a result, in the past few days, he realized that His Highness the Crown Prince had long been thinking about Jingbian City in Ningguo.

Seeing that Ruan Youqing is a delicate young lady, he just wanted to start with her.

Therefore, it can be said that he has tried his best to get close to her these few days.

For Baili Huaijin, he felt that the easiest way to get her hooked was to make the other party feel that he was a gentle person.

Of course...if...she can like herself...that would be the best.

And Gongsun Sheng's cold mockery and threats to Ruan Youqing were all ordered by him.

He needs to act both hard and soft, so that... the young lady of the Ruan family will gradually feel dependent on him.

However, what he didn't expect was that the other party had already noticed that he was not as harmless as his appearance.

Because...every time he put on a very approachable and simple appearance in front of Ruan Youqing, he never forgot to call himself lonely.

The name Gu, in Nanting Kingdom, is a title that belongs exclusively to the prince.

And Baili Huaijin was not born as the crown prince. So he has always called himself lonely, not out of habit.

Rather, he wanted to show his unique status all the time.

Even if he pretended to be innocent and ignorant of the world, his aloofness and indifference had already been carved into his bones.
