Chapter 138: Deliberately
When the banquet was not over, Gu Yanling saw Wang Youjun's personal maid Lu Zhu walking over from a distance, and said something in her ear slightly, Gu Yanling pursed the corners of her lips slightly, raised the wine cup, covered it with her hand, and when she drank it, she happened to see Wang Youjun facing her with disbelief and slightly jealous eyes.

There was almost no need to think about it, she could guess what the maid said from Wang Youjun's revealing face.
However, she was extremely indifferent, as if she didn't realize it, she still tasted the delicacies in front of her, and after a while, she almost realized that the time had come, Gu Yanling got up quietly, only whispered a few words in Ruyi's ear, and walked towards the table with Yubi and Jiangzhu.
Xie Shi, who was sitting on Concubine Cheng's side, naturally saw this scene, and groaned slightly, but finally withdrew his gaze and did not say anything.
If she still had some scruples in the past, then with the observation of many things before, she already knew that this daughter acted in an extremely measured manner, and it was even more appropriate, it seemed that she did not need to worry too much about anything.
On the contrary, it was Cheng Guifei, who faintly glanced at this scene, her eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of her lips raised an almost imperceptible arc.
β¦β¦
The green willows blow the embankment, skim the frozen river and look into the distance, the cornices of the attic palace, the top of the mountain surrounded by beautiful trees are all covered with snow, the cold wind blows, the thin ice surface has not changed at all, but the water flow under the ice is more urgent. from
Feeling the cold wind, Gu Yanling gathered the crane together, and there seemed to be a sound of the swaying copper bell under the eaves of the palace in the distance.
"Ahemβ"
The sound of the young man's cough came slowly, gradually dissipating with the wind, leaving no trace.
Gu Yanling faced the jade fence by the river, a cold smile pursed slightly at the corner of his lips, and then turned around, but he was always cold and dignified.
The young man is still as warm as jade, wrapped in plain green and big hair, just like the appearance of the previous life, the same scene, the same person, only different, in the previous life, she came here because of sobering up, but in this life, she came here for someone.
"Your Highness the Nine. β
Xiao Yan looked at the girl in front of her, who was neither humble nor arrogant, her slightly pale lips floated into a gentle smile, and then she raised her hand lightly and said, "Miss Gu, please get up." β
Gu Yanling got up like a stream, and the young man in front of him couldn't hide his gentle lips and asked, "Why is Miss Gu here?"
The girl didn't seem surprised when she heard this, and said in a calm tone as always: "The courtiers were greedy for a cup at the banquet, so they quietly came out to sober up. β
Xiao Yan's eyes rose to the girl's red cheeks when she heard this, indeed, she had drunk a lot.
"Although it is sobering, the river embankment is wet and cold, and I happen to be fine alone, so Miss Gu might as well enjoy the scenery of the concubine together, and it should be sobering. β
Gu Yanling sneered slightly in her eyes, but because of the covered eyelashes, she was not noticed, and when she raised her eyes again, the girl advanced and retreated to a certain extent, and did not refuse.
Xiao Yan smiled slightly in his eyes, then stretched out his hand, and made a very gentlemanly gesture of please, Gu Yanling nodded politely, took a step ahead, only in the middle of raising a step, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a delicate figure in the distance, with a smile in his eyes, and went generously.
The winter wind was blowing in the warm sun, Gu Yanling raised his hand to wrap the hood of the crane, and then quickly put his hand back into the mink tube, and then felt that the temperature on his hand gradually returned.
"Are you afraid of the cold?"
Xiao Yan's voice came from his ears, Gu Yanling's delicate eyelashes were slightly covered, hiding the coldness in his eyes, gently stepping on the pebble path, and silently counting the words Fushou inlaid and spliced on it.
"The courtiers are afraid of both cold and heat. β
Xiao Yan glanced at the girl beside her when she heard this, the corners of her lips floated slightly, and before she could speak, she heard the girl's beautiful voice sound again.
"Your Highness the Nine, what are you afraid of-"
As she spoke, the girl slowly raised her head, and looked at her with a pair of jewel-like eyes plain and with a hint of a smile.
Xiao Yan walked up, his eyes condensed slightly, and for some reason, there was a trace of strangeness in his heart.
It seems that there is another overtone in the girl's words.
However, the girl in front of her didn't reply, and didn't say anything, so she retracted her gaze calmly, lowered her head again, stared at the pebble ground with her eyebrows, and seemed to continue to count the lines on it.
Xiao Yan lowered his eyes, and couldn't help but feel that he was too sensitive.
No matter how much the daughter of the Xie family is, it is just a twelve-year-old daughter of the back house, and what is the difference between it and the daughter of the boudoir next to her.
No matter how far you think, you can't go beyond the back house.
"Because of the cold, I was more afraid of cold since I was a child. β
"Cold?"
The girl raised her head curiously, Xiao Yan smiled at the corner of her lips, and then nodded her jaw, with a slight helplessness and imperceptible bitterness in her words.
"It's all old and old. β
The girl paused slightly when she heard this, and then unintentionally looked away, her tone as calm as ever, but with a hint of imperceptible apology.
"I'm sorryβ"
Xiao Yan looked at the girl beside him gently, her eyes rose slightly, and her tone was more tolerant.
"It's okay, Miss Gu doesn't need to blame herself. β
Speaking of this, Gu Yanling gradually turned his head, but saw that the young man in front of him was staring at the pavilion in the distance, his eyes were gentle and calm, and a faint ray of sunlight fell on the young man's shoulder, filled with a warm halo.
The young man's slightly blood-colored lips opened slightly, and the words he spoke were so light and light, just like the humble gentleman who was not stained with dust.
"Destiny is destined, since I have never even blamed destiny, how can I blame the girl. β
When the young man said this, he turned his head slightly, and his warm and clear side face was like a piece of beautiful jade that did not need to be carved under the soft halo, and a pair of good-looking eyes stared at her with a smile like a breeze, and gently, it could touch anyone's heartstrings.
"However, Miss Gu was the first person to say these three words to me for this reason, which made me want to introduce the girl as a confidant. β
The words fell, and the surroundings fell into a peaceful silence, the girl's eyes paused slightly, looking at Xiao Yan who was smiling in front of her, I don't know how long it took, a trace of warmth gradually appeared in her eyes, and the corners of her lips outlined a soft arc that Xiao Yan had never seen for the first time.
At this moment, it seemed that time had stood still, the wind was still blowing, but the winter sun was quietly enveloping the two of them, floating with a warm halo.
Everything was as quiet as that.
Xiao Yan's gentle smile gradually reached the bottom of his eyes, looking at the dazzling girl in front of him, the corners of his lips were almost imperceptibly hooked.
Gu Yanling naturally didn't see the slightest change in Xiao Yan's eyes, but the smile on her lips became more and more natural.
has been married for decades, she can fully understand Xiao Yan's mind, if it comes to acting, Xiao Yan should be second, if not first.
It's just that he doesn't know that today's visitors are not only her.
β¦β¦
Wang Youjun quietly hid himself in the shadow of the flowers, looking at the harmonious and quiet picture in front of him, there was a bang in his head, and his face gradually became more and more ugly.
Her hands gradually clenched, crumpled her skirt in the palm of her hand and refused to put it down, and that indescribable jealousy was like a gradually rising flame, igniting her confidence and pride little by little, almost burning into a raging flame, burning to ashes.
She bit her lip stubbornly, and her beautiful eyes looked motionlessly at the dignified girl in the distance.
Unwilling and faintly inferiority in her inner life, she felt a threat that she had never felt before.
She never thought that when she was full of hope, thinking that she could reap the status and love as she wished, stand on a higher place, enjoy all the glory, and completely change that humble fate.
But this Gu Yanling suddenly appeared in front of her, and she didn't expect that God gave her almost everything precious.
Honorable status,
Beautiful looks,
There is also Hua Ran's bearing.
It seems that wherever you go, you are destined to be the focus of everyone.
And these are all things that she can't compare.
What scared her the most was that even her aunt and cousin seemed to be leaning towards her.
The set of faces that her aunt gave to Gu Yanling was too meaningful, which made her fall into endless jealousy and confusion at this moment.
If from the beginning, both the aunt and the cousin chose Gu Yanling, then what are the aunt's hints and the cousin's gentle actions?
Could it be that she is just an alternative to the icing on the cake?
When this thought crossed her mind, Wang Youjun almost embedded her nails into her flesh, and the burning jealousy gradually swallowed her last reason.
She Wang Youjun will only want the best in the world!
