Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1133: Chapter 1134: Is It Really Safe?

Just as Ye Zhi reached a hundred and nine skips, about to make it a hundred and ten, Gong Jue Chen stealthily walked up to Xiao Changyi and then darted into the rope.

As soon as he barged in, Gong Jue Chen tripped over the rope, causing Ye Zhi’s skip count to stop at just over a hundred, one less than An Jing’s.

Ye Zhi looked at her feet, she clearly hadn’t tripped over the rope. How had it suddenly stopped? Almost immediately, she turned around and saw Gong Jue Chen standing behind her.

Even without seeing Gong Jue Chen’s feet, she knew he was the one who had tripped the rope.

An Jing burst into laughter, ”That’s what you get for bragging. You lost. Next time, brag less. You can never be sure of the outcome until the very end. Hahaha...”

Gong Jue Chen, with an innocent face, said to Ye Zhi, ”I just wanted to join in and witness this important moment with you; I didn’t expect to trip and cause you to lose...”

Right then, Ye Zhi was absolutely furious and charged at Gong Jue Chen, intending to hit him.

What a perfect opportunity to beat her boss, and it was ruined by this man!

”Gong Jue Chen, how dare you ruin my chance!” Ye Zhi was truly furious, ready to grab Gong Jue Chen and beat him mercilessly.

”I really just wanted to share this important moment with you...” Gong Jue Chen kept his innocent demeanor while running everywhere to avoid being caught by Ye Zhi.

Because she was so angry, Ye Zhi couldn’t calm down and kept cursing at Gong Jue Chen while chasing him, trying to hit him.

The Emperor of Xiyun saw this scene and frowned heavily. Even though Gong Jue Chen looked like Mrs. Han, he was his son after all. How could he allow a woman to chase him like this?

But, his son was really ineffectual to let a woman chase him around.

At this time, Xiao Changyi walked into the pavilion and casually said, ”He likes this kind of life.”

After a pause, Xiao Changyi added, ”Ignorance is innocence.”

The first statement was clearly about Gong Jue Chen. Compared to being a prince, he truly preferred this kind of life; the latter was in defense of Ye Zhi.

Ye Zhi didn’t yet know that Gong Jue Chen was actually a prince.

Hearing these two statements from Xiao Changyi, the Emperor of Xiyun felt relieved and sighed.

He didn’t say anything about Ye Zhi chasing Gong Jue Chen, instead he simply stood up, ”I am tired.” It was clear that he intended to return to the palace.

Eunuch Fu quickly stepped forward to support him.

Su Chengyu also returned to the palace with the Emperor of Xiyun. Before leaving, though, he cast complicated looks at both Gong Jue Chen and Gong Juese.

Especially the look he gave Gong Jue Chen, filled with a complexity that no one could understand.

And on the way back to the palace, in the carriage of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort.

Ning Wenxian hesitated for a moment, then quietly asked, ”Your Highness, is that Gong Jue Chen... really safe?”

Su Chengyu didn’t say if it was safe or not, but simply stated, ”I hope he sees clearly and does not force me to take drastic actions.”

From that, Ning Wenxian understood. As long as Gong Jue Chen kept to himself, he would definitely not harm him.

...

As soon as they left Prince Yi’s Mansion, and seeing that she couldn’t catch up with Gong Jue Chen, Ye Zhi stopped chasing him. Instead, she turned around and went back to find An Jing.

Before reaching An Jing, Ye Zhi shouted, ”Boss, let’s compete again, this round doesn’t count!”

An Jing teased, ”What, can’t accept defeat?”

Ye Zhi replied, ”It’s not about not accepting defeat; it’s about not being able to accept such an unjust loss! It’s all that idiot’s fault! If he hadn’t interfered, I could have at least tied with you, how could I possibly lose to you?”
