On the stage in the center of the main courtyard, singing and dancing are leveling, and at this time "Full Bed Wat" is being staged babblingly, and the guests are indulging in lust, talking and laughing, and they are happy and auspicious. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Except for Gao Xun, who likes to join in the fun, Gao Heng and Gu Hanqing did not sit in the courtyard, but walked through the lively crowd and walked to the sparsely populated back garden.

"What are these two going to do? Do you want a tryst?"

Cheng Jinzhi followed the footsteps of the two of them not far away, and this "terrifying" thought just popped up in his mind, and he was strangled to death by her in the bud in an instant.

"I have not yet thanked Your Highness for saving your life the day before yesterday. ”

"You and I don't have to say thank you. In this eventful season, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it is always impossible to prevent it. ”

Gao Heng's gaze stopped at a place in the courtyard distantly, and his words seemed to be reminding Gu Hanqing, but more like talking to himself.

Gu Hanqing is such a keen person, he naturally heard the meaning of Gao Heng's words, thought for a moment, and then said tentatively: "Your Highness knows in your heart that the godfather will not entertain the prince today, it is obviously an ulterior motive. ”

"I know. Gao Heng pondered for a moment, his tone tepid, "However, I came to the banquet and did not represent any position. It's a pity that my eldest brother is too suspicious, and all he thinks about all day long is to eliminate dissidents and stabilize his position, and never think about how to govern the country and how to calm the people's hearts. ”

"I'm just a businessman, I don't dare to talk about the situation in the court, but I know one thing very well......" Gu Hanqing's eyes flashed slightly, "If this world is obtained by His Highness, it will definitely be a blessing for all the people." ”

Gao Heng raised his eyes to look at the flowing clouds floating in the air, his heart seemed to be experiencing a long torment, and he was silent for a long time, and then he slowly spoke: "Since ancient times, the heights have been cold, and the world has only seen the emperor's glamorous and gorgeous shell, but they don't know the loneliness and bitterness inside. Like my mother said, sometimes you seem to get everything, but you lose more. ”

Although Gao Heng's words were perfunctory, they were actually full of helplessness, Gu Hanqing knew the concerns in his heart, so he smiled: "It seems that in this world, only Concubine Hui will make Her Highness think twice." ”

"And you. Gao Heng raised his eyebrows and smiled, "But you don't have to be too moved. ”

"Are these two men flirting in broad daylight?"

Because of the distance away, Cheng Jinzhi didn't hear the conversation between the two clearly, but just looked at the speculation of the two people's words, his heart was unhappy, and he subconsciously moved forward.

At the same time, Gao Heng suddenly stood still as if he sensed something, raised his hand to interrupt Gu Hanqing's answer, and his sharp eyes swept around, as if he had locked on to the target.

Just when Cheng Jinzhi thought that his whereabouts were exposed, a round rabbit suddenly popped out of the flowers in front of him, and then a bejeweled woman chased after him, and before he could run a few steps, he inexplicably fell to his foot and fell delicately in front of the two.

Cheng Jinzhi looked at it intently, the woman was none other than Cheng Xiuning.

"Golden Branch, come back quickly. Cheng Xiuning shouted angrily at the rabbit that was less than a foot away from her, and her eyes glanced at Gao Heng and Gu Hanqing affectionately from time to time, hinting that she needed help.

"Bah, this Cheng Xiuning is really haunted, and she actually named this fat rabbit my name. ”

Thinking about it, Cheng Jinzhi smiled evilly, and took the lead in rushing forward when Gu Hanqing and them took action.

"Oh, Second Miss, you call me!"

Cheng Jinzhi pretended to be eager to help Cheng Xiuning up, and before she could speak, without saying a word, he reached out and grabbed the rabbit next to him and threw it to her: "It's all because of this stupid rabbit, it hurt the second lady's daughter's body, why don't I send it to the kitchen to stew in a pot, and relieve your anger for the second miss." ”

Gu Hanqing knew Cheng Jinzhi's personality, and he was really surprised by her actions, so he couldn't help laughing on the side. And Gao Heng, who had never met Cheng Jinzhi, was obviously a little surprised, he looked at the exaggerated behavior of the woman in front of him, revealing a look of disbelief.

"No need!"

Because of the presence of outsiders, Cheng Xiuning could only hold back the anger in her heart and pretend to smile in order to preserve her image. She dusted off her skirt and glared at Cheng Jinzhi fiercely, so angry that her eyes were about to burst out.

"It turned out to be Miss Cheng Er, I don't know where Miss got hurt?"

"Oh, it's just a small sprain, it's not a big deal, it's Xiu Ning who lost her temper in front of the two. ”

As soon as she heard Gu Hanqing's words, Cheng Xiuning's tone instantly softened a lot.

"Sprains can be big or small, Miss should go back to rest quickly, if you hurt again, it won't be good. ”

Although Gao Heng said words of concern, his tone and expression were very blunt.

"Thank you His Royal Highness King Yan for your concern, then Xiuning will leave first. ”

But Cheng Xiuning didn't hear the meaning of Gao Heng's words, she moved slowly, and with the support of Cheng Jinzhi, she limped towards the backyard, and after walking a few steps, she didn't forget to look back and show her shyness, and Cheng Jinzhi was embarrassed for her.

"Do you know that maid?"

"She is not a maid, she is the third lady of Cheng Mansion. ”

"Third Miss?" Gao Heng looked at Cheng Jinzhi's back with disgust, "So she is Lord Cheng's daughter?"

"That's right, it's not strange that His Highness mistook her for a maid, in fact, I don't understand why my godfather treats her so differently from other children. Gu Hanqing sighed softly, her eyes lowered, "She is obviously such a kind and strong girl." ”

"It seems that our young master Gu seems to have a lot of appreciation for this third young lady. ”

Gu Hanqing looked sideways slightly, looked at the direction where Cheng Jinzhi was far away and smiled, but did not answer.

At this time, the troupe on the stage of the main courtyard had been withdrawn and was about to prepare for the next play. Gao Heng was a guest of honor, and he didn't like to deal with others, so he sat alone in a pavilion a little further away from the crowd.

"Lin Shangshu, Li Shangshu, General Chen... These people are all good friends with Master Cheng, but their seats are far away from each other. ”

Gao Heng calmly poured tea into his cup.

"Your Highness thinks that they are deliberately hiding from others?"

Gu Hanqing looked at the crowd in front of him, took a sip of the tea he had poured.

"My father has always hated party strife the most, and they are in important positions, so it is inevitable that they will attract attention, and it is better to be cautious than to cause unwarranted trouble for themselves. ”

"But the truth is that although they have their backs to the big tree of my godfather, they all want to go to the mountain of His Highness. ”

Gao Heng raised the corners of his lips lightly when he heard this, showing a sneer: "Then I am really flattered, you must know that they all regarded me like a tumor back then and avoided me." Besides, I'm used to it, and I don't want to drag anyone down. ”

"It's true that he is alone, but when the prince reaches the age of His Royal Highness, he has already married a wife and had children. ”

"Because I know very well that being my woman will not be happy. Gao Heng said solemnly, and suddenly looked at Gu Hanqing pretending to be serious, "Besides, I like you more than women." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Gu Hanqing knew that Gao Heng was arrogant, and couldn't help laughing, "Then thank His Royal Highness King Yan for your kindness." ”

But Cheng Jinzhi didn't know that what these two people said was all jokes, she was originally lying under the pavilion eavesdropping, but now when she heard such a conversation, she almost "blood splashed".

She trembled and propped herself up against the wall, and for a moment she felt that the sky above her was gray.

"Please ask His Royal Highness King Yan to make a play. ”

Just when Cheng Jinzhi was "afraid of ashes", a domestic servant suddenly came over respectfully and presented the play list.

Gao Heng and Gu Hanqing glanced at each other, took the play list and opened it, their eyes swept over them one by one, and they stopped: "What kind of track is this "Qingluo Sleeve", it seems that I have never heard it. ”

"Back to Your Highness, this is a new repertoire specially arranged by the master for this birthday banquet, and it can't be heard outside. ”

"Really?" Gao Heng closed the playlist, "Then order this one." ”

"Okay, His Royal Highness King Xie Yan. The servant happily put away the playlist, and in an instant he rushed into the crowd.

Soon, the stage opened the red curtain again, but this time it was not the singing of opera, but the melodious dance music.

After a while, I saw a graceful woman with a skirt and flying sleeves, accompanied by all the dancing girls, descending on the stage like a hollow valley orchid, Cheng Jinzhi took a look, only to find that the woman who danced was actually Cheng Sujin, the eldest lady of Cheng Mansion.
