The palace gate was closed by the hour.

Shen Jinyan was just returning to the palace at the end of the day. He has a palace waist card on his body, and he can enter and exit the palace gate at any time. The guards of the forbidden army guarding the palace gate naturally knew this famous Shen Gongzi, and immediately opened the palace gate.

Shen Jinyan quietly returned to the Jiaofang Palace.

He wanted to quietly go back to the bedroom alone to sleep, but he didn't expect that Gu Wanning hadn't rested yet, and when he heard that he was back in the palace, he immediately ordered someone to call him over.

When Shen Jinyan stepped into the bedroom, what he saw was the scene of the emperor and queen talking in a low voice and looking at each other and laughing.

In the past, he would only be happy for his sister and brother-in-law's affection and deep affection. At this moment, there is a subtle hope and yearning.

I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated.

In a long lonely life, if there are people who share the same heart and cherish each other, what will it be like?

"Ah Yan," Gu Wanning heard the footsteps and looked over with a smile: "Why are you in a daze there?"

Shen Jinyan quickly came back to his senses, smiled vaguely, and stepped forward to salute.

Xiao Xu's gaze swept over Shen Jinyan's flushed face, and he smiled casually: "I haven't seen you all night." Where did you sneak away and drink alone?"

Shen Jinyan knew that the wine on his body couldn't hide from people, and he didn't want to mention Gu Guanqi at this time, so he said casually: "I had nothing to do alone, so I went out of the palace and walked around, found a restaurant at random, and drank a few glasses." I didn't expect this smell of wine to be smelled by my brother-in-law. ”

Xiao Xu glanced at Shen Jinyan meaningfully.

It's a lie that's not very clever. If you can't hide it, how can you hide it from the careful and keen Gu Wanning?

Sure enough, Gu Wanning smiled and frowned slightly: "Where did you go?"

Shen Jinyan: "......"

Shen Jinyan and Gu Wanning looked at each other for a moment, and then obediently explained: "I went to the Bafang Inn and drank wine with Miss Qi for one night. ”

Gu Guanning: "......"

Xiao Xu: "......"

For the emperor and queen, Gu Guanqi is undoubtedly the name that he is most reluctant to mention.

Gu Wanning was willing to ask, and he didn't want to say more in front of Xiao Xu, so he nodded casually: "It's not early, you can go back and rest quickly!"

Shen Jinyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left.

……

There are many vacant rooms in the Jiaofang Temple.

Shen Jinyan deliberately chose a remote and quiet one.

Chang Sui Gu Fu greeted him with a bitter face: "Childe, you are back." The queen mother knew that the prince went out of the palace alone, and reprimanded the slave fiercely. ”

Gu Fu is also hard enough.

followed Shen Jinyan for several years, and did not have a day of peace. first suffered in the Puji Temple, then in the Prince's Mansion, and then in the Tai Hospital. Then he stayed at the border for two years. It's rare to go back to the capital, and I was reprimanded by the queen!

The most important thing is that over the years, Gu Fu and Pearl have been procrastinating again and again, and they did not get married until the end of the year. didn't wait for a few days to get together, and next year I had to leave the capital with Shen Jinyan.

Shen Jinyan looked at the long entourage that had accompanied him for many years, and there was a hint of apology in his eyes: "It's me who is willful and has affected you." ”

In just one sentence, all Gu Fu's grievances disappeared.

As a master, he treats the people around him so generously, except for Shen Jinyan, there is no second person in the world!

Gu Fu immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, the slave is old and thick-skinned, and it doesn't hurt to be counted a few words." By the way, Childe's body is full of wine today, could it be that he has been drinking? The slave has already prepared hot water, and Childe has taken a bath, and then goes to rest after drinking. ”

Gu Fu has always been clever and discerning, and seeing that Shen Jinyan didn't mention much, he didn't ask a word. After waiting for Shen Jinyan to take a bath and change clothes, he retreated.

The candles in the room had all been extinguished, and only the cold stars outside the window shone faintly.

Shen Jinyan lay quietly on the bed, not moving.

The scene of meeting Gu Guanqi tonight kept flashing in my mind. Scene by scene, it was so vivid, as if engraved in his mind.

Gu Guanqi when she is smiling, Gu Guanqi when she is naughty, Gu Wanqi who laughs heartily, and Gu Guanqi who is sparkling with wine......

A heart seemed to jump out of its chest.

Shen Jinyan blushed, turned sideways, and continued to think about her.

In her eyes, he was just a young and ignorant young man, and she didn't treat him as an adult man at all. Moreover, his background is a shame that is difficult to wash away from the Gu family. She may sympathize with him, but she also hates him as much as the rest of the Gu family......

No, she was so kind and close to him, how could she hate him?

So, she likes him!

It's just that this liking is just a sister-brother emotion, and there is no love between men and women......

Shen Jinyan sighed gloomily and turned over again.

……

I couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, when Gu Fu saw Shen Jinyan with a gloomy face, he was taken aback: "Childe, you ...... Could it be that you haven't slept all night?"

Shen Jinyan touched his face: "Is my face ugly?"

Gu Fu nodded unusually sincerely: "It's very ugly." ”

Shen Jinyan: "......"

Shen Jinyan and Gu Fu stared at each other for a moment, then frowned and said, "I have to go and say hello to my sister." This look should not be seen by my sister. ”

So what to do?

Gu Fu also frowned and thought hard, and soon had a way: "The slave went to find a box of fat powder and put some on the son." Let the prince look better, and the queen mother will not be angry and ask. ”

What kind of bad idea is this?!

Shen Jinyan subconsciously refused: "I'm not a girl, how can I be greased and powdered." ”

Gu Fu spread his hands helplessly: "The slave is gone." If the son is not afraid of the mother's questioning, then go to see the mother like this!"

Shen Jinyan: "......"

Shen Jinyan gritted his teeth and was ruthless: "Okay, you move faster." ”

Gu Fu perked up, answered, and retreated numbly. In less than a moment, he came back happily. A box of fat powder escaped from his sleeve like a treasure: "Childe, this is a special fat powder in the palace, delicate and smooth, and fragrant." I finally got a box from Pearl. ”

Shen Jinyan had a heroic and righteous expression: "Okay, don't say it." Apply less, just cover up a little bit. ”

After a cup of tea, Shen Jinyan, who had a "fair-skinned" complexion, walked out of the bedroom.

Gu Fu was born with a pair of skillful hands, and he had no self-knowledge of grease and powder. A thin layer of fat powder covered up Shen Jinyan's haggard depression that had not slept all night.

Today is the first day of the new year, and the ladies of the decree are to enter the palace for an audience as usual. Gu Wanning has been very busy this day. Shen Jinyan took advantage of the fact that he saw Gu Wanning after breakfast, and after "passing the customs safely", he was relieved.

It's a pity that his heart was put too early.

After the palace banquet at noon, when everyone was ordered to enjoy the song and dance, Linlang came with a smile: "Shen Gongzi, Niangniang, please come over and speak." ”
