Ting Tong looked behind him in confusion.

The princes smiled and waved.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Gu Zibei has no choice but to bite the bullet.

"I actually want to tell you..." He said with difficulty.

Tingtong seemed to see his predicament, she was the first to smile lightly: "Thank you, my lord."

Gu Zibei was startled: "Thank me for what?"

Tingtong said sincerely: "I've heard about the embroidery workshop. It turns out that the real patron is the prince."

"My lord has cared quietly over the years, and I can feel it, so I want to thank you for your help."

"When I was at my worst, it was always you and the princess who reached out and gave me a hand."

"I can't repay this kindness."

The embarrassment on Gu Zibei's face faded.

Tingtong opened up the chatterbox first, and he naturally had a lot of it.

"We never thought of asking you to reciprocate. Seeing that you are living a good life, we are also relieved." Gu Zibei replied.

Ting Tong raised her dark eyes and looked at him fixedly.

"May I ask the prince a question?"

"What do you want to ask?"

"The prince took care of me a lot, because after we cleared up the misunderstanding, you thought of being harsh to me in the past, so you did it out of sympathy and pity?"

Gu Zibei directly retorted: "Of course not!"

Tingtong immediately asked, "What is that for?"

Gu Zibei opened his lips, looked at her clear face, eagerly waiting for an answer.

He hesitated again.

"Because you are helpless in Daqi, we met before, and I should help you based on my past friendship."

Tingtong's eyes flickered: "Is it just because of past affection? Well, there are some things I don't say now, because I'm afraid I won't have a chance to say them in the future."

"Girls are actually very restrained. I'm not a princess anymore, and I don't have enough confidence to express my heart to you."

"So, I just want to say it one last time. Does the prince know the reason why I haven't married for so many years?"

"The person who lives in my heart, I have never let him go."

The undisguised affection in her eyes made Gu Zibei startled slightly.

"Gu Zibei, I still like you." Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was also nervous.

Ting Tong took a deep breath and summoned up her courage.

"I thought you wouldn't accept me at all, but when I learned that my embroidery workshop was actually funded by you secretly, you couldn't understand the joy in my heart."

"I can also feel your attention. If...you like me too, then..."

Gu Zibei was stunned.

He stared at her blankly, as if he didn't know what to say.

Tingtong has a very restrained personality. After losing her status as a princess, she hasn't told her all of her thoughts like this for a long time.

Seeing that Gu Zibei was only looking at her in surprise, Tingtong stomped her feet: "You talk! You...how much do you want me to talk about?"

Just at this moment, a guard ran over from the side.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty invites you to come over."

Gu Zibei subconsciously pulled Ting Tong behind him, blocking her shy and eager face.

He said to the Guards: "Okay, I'll go now."

After the imperial guards left, Gu Zibei looked back, Tingtong's eyes were still dark, shining with anticipation.

Gu Zibei pursed his thin lips: "I will answer this question for you after I see Brother Huang."

Tingtong's eyes seemed to be dyed with spring colors.

She nodded slightly: "Okay! I'll wait for you."

Gu Zibei walked away quickly.
