Chapter 30: Indifference (2)
"Why is the prince standing here alone?" Shen Qinglan was the first to see the figure of the prince of Qi, plucked up the courage to get up and took a few steps closer, and asked softly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The prince of Qi reluctantly withdrew his gaze and looked over.
It turned out to be the Shen family's cousin!
In the Zhenghe Hall just now, Mrs. Tai specially introduced Shen Qinglan's identity.
This beautiful and delicate girl with watery eyes and the bright, dazzling, proud and stubborn Gu Guanning are like two extremes. The same beauty is outstanding, but the temperament is completely different. It's impressive.
Prince Qi smiled faintly: "I want to talk to Cousin Ning for a few words." Please Miss Shen send me a message. Just say I'm waiting for her under the eaves. ”
The handsome face had a shallow smile on his face, which overshadowed the bright candle flame in the room.
Shen Qinglan's heart swayed, only to feel that her face was quietly hot, and she answered softly, and then turned back to the table. leaned into Gu Guanning's ear and whispered: "Cousin Guanning, the prince wants to say a few words to you alone, saying that he is waiting for you under the eaves." ”
Gu Guanning paused in his hand and looked at Shen Qinglan: "I'm not available." ”
Shen Qinglan: "......"
Shen Qinglan's face flushed, this time it was not because of shame, but because of inexplicable anxiety and anger: "You are obviously free, why don't you want to go?"
The corners of Gu Wanning's lips seemed to smile: "Cousin Qinglan, this is holding grievances for the prince of Qi? Do you think I don't know how to lift? If you really can't stand it, it's better for you to go for me." ”
Shen Qinglan: "......"
Under those eyes that seemed to know everything, Shen Qinglan was a little embarrassed: "Cousin Wanning, how can you talk nonsense like this." My son and I are not related to each other, and we only met for the first time today...... I'm just preaching a word for the son. You can go if you want to, or if you don't want to go, it's all up to you. ”
After saying that, he pretended to be calm and went back to his place and sat down.
Wu Lianxiang was whispering to Yao Ruozhu while drinking fruit wine, and did not notice Shen Qinglan's actions.
Gu Guanning dismissed Shen Qinglan in a few words, but his mood did not become happy because of this. Painful and chaotic memories of the past are churning in my mind, making people feel irritable, short of breath and tight.
"Linlang, pour wine for me. ”
Linlang frowned slightly, and persuaded tactfully: "Miss, you have already drunk a lot today." If you drink it any more, you'll get drunk. ”
How could she be drunk with this little wine?
Gu Wanning was about to open his mouth, and when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly remembered that he was indeed shallow at this time. It's no wonder Linlang is so worried.
Her drinking skills were gradually cultivated after she escaped from the capital.
The fugitive life of being chased and killed makes people nervous. The panic of the day and the fear of death enveloped her all the time. You have to be calm and calm in front of people.
It was only at night, alone in the house, that she could remove her disguise and indulge herself in a moment of vulnerability and helplessness.
It was also in those years that she began to have the habit of drinking.
Wine is indeed a good thing. The moment I drank it, my whole body warmed up, my body was no longer tense, and my spirit was much soothed.
Later, she killed the entire family of King Qi and became the queen mother of Cining Palace. Not to mention the cumbersome government affairs, from time to time there are also bold officials who secretly make stumbling blocks. She killed more and more people, but the smile on her face became less and less. The habit of drinking a few glasses has been retained.
Her alcohol consumption is naturally getting bigger and bigger.
With two pots of fruit wine, she won't get drunk.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, just don't drink it. Gu Wanning smiled at Linlang and put the wine glass down.
Linlang breathed a sigh of relief, smiled slightly, and showed her thin teeth: "Tonight the kitchen made beef soup, can the slave maid serve a bowl to the young lady?"
Gu Wanning nodded, and said seriously: "Eating beef has the longest strength, very good." ”
…… Linlang is funny and helpless at the same time.
Other ladies and daughters mostly use piano, chess, calligraphy and painting as a pastime. Her own young lady is obsessed with archery and martial arts, and her white and tender slender jade hands are about to become rough when she looks at them. It's useless to persuade you......
The loyal Linlang muttered in his heart while serving Gu Wanning a bowl full of beef soup.
……
The night is breezy and breezy.
The sky is full of stars and the wind lanterns hanging under the eaves of the porch.
The prince of Qi stood under the eaves of the porch, the smile on Jun's face gradually disappeared, and his brows furrowed.
Xiao Dezi, the chamberlain standing on the side, said cautiously: "The prince has been out for so long, Miss Gu Er still hasn't come, maybe she won't come......"
Before he finished speaking, the prince of Qi had already glanced coldly.
Xiao Dezi's scalp was numb, and he quickly changed his words: "The slave means that the girl's family is thin-skinned, and Miss Gu Er may not have the courage to come even if she wants to come." It's so late today, the prince might as well find another time to come over another day. When the time comes, bring some gifts that the second lady likes and coax her. ”
King Qi's face looked a little better: "What you said is not unreasonable. ”
Xiao Dezi was secretly happy in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the prince of Qi changed his words and said: "However, I always feel that something is wrong with her today." I don't know why I'm angry with me and don't want to pay attention to me. I'll have to ask today!"
Xiao Dezi: "......"
Come on, the feelings just now are in vain!
Xiao Dezi bravely opened his mouth and asked without fear of death: "But, what if the second lady never comes?"
The prince of Qi looked at him coldly again.
Xiao Dezi gritted his teeth, and simply said what he thought in his heart: "If the second lady was willing to come, she should have come a long time ago." Since he hasn't shown up, he obviously won't come. The prince can't stand here all the time!"
Young people's self-esteem is particularly strong.
The prince of Qi was proud of his young and vigorous youth, where could he listen to such a consolation, and his expression was cold: "She will come to see me." ”
Xiao Dezi had to keep his mouth shut.
……
After a cup of tea.
A slender figure appeared in front of him.
Wearing a crimson dress, the girl's complexion is better than snow, and her complexion is overwhelming. The starry sky seemed to fall into the girl's eyes, cold and dazzling.
King Qi's heartstrings trembled, and the corners of his lips raised: "Cousin Ning, you are finally here." ”
I knew you were coming.
Gu Wanning's expression was faint: "I don't know why the prince invited me to come?"
She's really mad at him!
In front of everyone, she called him the son.
In private, she always called him "Cousin Rui".
Prince Qi smiled helplessly and took a few steps closer: "Cousin Ning, I haven't come to see you for two months in a row, are you angry with me?"
"In the two-month academic assessment, I only won the first place in riding and archery martial arts, and I was not as good as my cousin in reading and discussing scriptures, history, and dynasties. I had to work a little harder behind my back, so I didn't leave the palace. I don't mean to snub you. ”
