Shen Jinyan suddenly had a bad premonition, and asked tentatively, "Linlang, do you know what my sister asked me to do?"

Linlang smiled as usual: "The slave doesn't know what's going on, the mother is still waiting for the son." Please also ask the son to go over with the slave to see the mother now. ”

Shen Jinyan had no choice but to respond.

Gu Wanning actually left all the ladies in the first hall and waited for him alone in the side hall.

When Shen Jinyan saw this posture, his scalp couldn't help tingling, he stepped forward with his head down, and stood with his hands down: "Sister came to me, I don't know what happened?"

Gu Guanning said lightly: "You didn't do anything wrong, what are you panicking, sit down and talk." ”

Shen Jinyan answered, sat down, and still lowered his head.

Gu Wanning glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Why don't you dare to look up at me?"

Shen Jinyan had to raise his head: "Today is the first day of the New Year, and my sister must be very busy, so she even took the time to see me." It really makes me feel uneasy. ”

Gu Guanning snorted lightly: "I even learned to apply grease and powder to cover my face and fool me perfunctorily." ”

Shen Jinyan: "......"

Shen Jinyan couldn't wait to wash off the fat powder on his face immediately.

It's all Gu Fu, what a bad idea!

A dignified seven-foot man, what kind of fat powder is he wearing! He is still trying to get away with it in vain! Facts have proved that he can't hide Gu Guanning's sharp eyes at all. Pingbai was reprimanded more!

Gu Wanning's gaze fell on Shen Jinyan's reddened and embarrassed face: "Why did you go to the Bafang Inn last night?

Shen Jinyan also tried in vain to cover up: "I stayed in the palace alone and was depressed, so I quietly slipped out of the palace alone." happened to walk near the Bafang Inn, so I went to see the fourth sister. We didn't drink much, though, just a few glasses......"

The more you talk, the lower the voice.

Gu Wanning didn't say anything, just looked at him so fixedly.

Shen Jinyan couldn't make it up, and explained honestly: "I drank most of the pot, she drank more, and she was drunk last night." ”

She?

Gu Wanning's eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly asked, "You didn't sleep all night last night?"

Shen Jinyan never could hide his thoughts, and when he was asked like this, he quickly told the truth: "Well, I didn't sleep in the first half of the night, and I barely slept for a while in the second half of the night." When I woke up in the morning, my face was too ugly to let my sister see it. That's why I listened to Gu Fu's suggestion and smeared a little grease powder. ”

A smile flashed in Gu Wanning's eyes, but his tone was still cold: "Nonsense! Do you think you can fool the past in this way?"

Shen Jinyan blamed himself with shame: "What my sister said is true." I won't dare again. ”

Gu Wanning's words changed: "Why didn't you sleep well last night?"

Shen Jinyan's expression was a little stiff, but he answered very fluently: "When I saw her last night, I thought of my life experience, and I was sad for a while, and I couldn't sleep for a long time. ”

It's her again!

Can't even the fourth sister shout?

Gu Wanning's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze swept over Shen Jinyan's face.

Shen Jinyan didn't bow his head this time, he took the initiative to raise his head and look at Gu Wanning, his eyes were quite calm: "My sister cares about me so much, it really touches my heart." In the future, I will definitely take care of myself and not worry my sister. ”

Gu Wanning's expression softened a little: "It's good that you know I'm worried about you." After the New Year, you will also be twenty. You should also know that you should take good care of yourself. ”

Shen Jinyan obediently replied.

Gu Wanning didn't say anything more, said a few words, and then got up and went back to the main hall.

Shen Jinyan let out a long sigh of relief.

……

On the occasion of the New Year, the palace is always a little more lively than usual. There are many children in the Jiaofang Palace, and it is becoming more and more noisy.

The four sisters and brothers of Gillian all like the gentle and good-natured Shen Jinyan, and come to him from time to time to play and talk. Shen Jinyan has not experienced such a warm and comfortable life for a long time, and his life is quite comfortable.

It's just that there is always some unspeakable emptiness and loss in his heart.

There were many people during the day, and he thought of Gu Wanqi a little less, but at night, he couldn't suppress it. The desire and urge to see her again became stronger.

He couldn't suppress the thirst in his heart, and went out of the palace alone on the fifth day of the new year.

In order not to arouse Gu Guanning's attention and suspicion, he deliberately chose to leave the palace in the evening. Then he went to the Bafang Inn with secret joy.

It's a pity that it was empty.

The steward who was guarding the inn said apologetically: "Today, the third lady of the Dingbei Hou Mansion invited Miss Qi to a banquet in the mansion, but Miss Qi was disrespectful and did not come to the inn. The son wanted to see the young lady, so the slave went to the Hou Mansion to send a message. ”

Shen Jinyan was extremely disappointed in his heart, but his face did not show it, and he said gently: "It's okay, I'll come back tomorrow." ”

The steward was deeply impressed by this handsome and outstanding Shen Gongzi, and secretly pondered his intentions in his heart, and responded with a smile when he heard the words.

……

The next day, the pepper room hall.

Linglong reported softly: "Miss, Shen Gongzi is out of the palace again today." ”

Gu Wanning's expression did not change, and he asked lightly: "Or go to the Bafang Inn?"

Linglong nodded.

Gu Wanning was silent.

Linglong quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Wanning, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to send someone to continue to stare at Shen Gongzi?"

"No need!" Gu Wanning said unexpectedly: "Just send someone to protect his safety secretly." When he leaves the palace and returns to the palace, he doesn't have to go back. ”

Linglong responded.

After Linglong went out, Gu Guanning sat alone for a moment before sighing for a long time.

She has been looking forward to Shen Jinyan untying her heart knot as soon as possible, meeting her sweetheart as soon as possible, marrying a wife and having children...... didn't expect that God would make such a big joke.

Shen Jinyan, Qi Wan'er......

Gu Wanning showed a bitter and helpless smile in his eyes.

……

At this time, Shen Jinyan was immersed in the joy of seeing Gu Wanqi again, and he didn't know that the fact that he had covered up in every possible way had been exposed.

"Yo, I'm really dressed today. Gu Wanqi grinned: "When you go out like this, I don't know how many big girls and little daughters-in-law want to look back at you." ”

I didn't feel that I was molesting a twenty-year-old unmarried young man with words.

Today's Shen Jinyan is wearing a moon-white brocade robe embroidered with dark patterns of water waves, a jade belt around his waist, and his long hair is tied up with a jade crown. is extravagant, and he is handsome and extraordinary.

Shen Jinyan was secretly happy when he was praised. glanced at Gu Guanqi a little shyly, and boldly praised back: "You are also exceptionally beautiful today." ”

Gu Wanqi's facial features are good, although she is a little older, her eyebrows are radiant, and she is a little more heroic than an ordinary boudoir girl.

She was not tolerant of applying grease and powder, and she did not deliberately dress gorgeously, just wearing a simple azure robe. His long hair was half pulled up, half of it was scattered on his chest, and he wore only a golden hairpin on his head, and no other decoration.

She has a leisurely attitude, a free and easy demeanor, and a smile and a smile, which has an eclectic charm.
