The night became darker and darker, and the white furnace quietly followed Xie Yun step by step towards the Qinghe Courtyard where he lived, and when he crossed the threshold, he suddenly looked up, and he saw a few people standing under the corridor of the main house.

Xie Yun's steps couldn't help but pause, his originally somewhat gloomy eyes suddenly returned to gentleness, sorted out all his thoughts, and tried his best to dissipate all the uncertainties in the eldest princess's mansion.

"About the eldest princess's mansion, don't tell cousin Jiu'er about them. ”

The young man's low and firm voice sounded slightly in his ears, Bai Lu was slightly stunned, and he wanted to say something, but he suddenly remembered the carriage of the East Palace that had stopped them on the way, thinking that his son had gotten into the carriage of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, although he didn't know what the two said in the dark night, he could probably guess a little.

It seems that Gongzi is going to join forces with His Royal Highness the eldest grandson to deal with the eldest princess Zhaomao, and avoid the cousins, so as not to worry.

"Small, got it. ”

As soon as Bai Lu lowered his head, the figure in front of him took off his robe and walked straight towards the house.

When Xie Yun walked inside, he saw that the girl was sitting under the south window, twisting her fingertips, slightly pouting her chin, her eyes were as quiet as a lake, and under the silence, she could only hear the faint sound of insects under the corner of the wall outside the window, which made people suddenly know that this was still spring.

At this moment, the girl's eyes suddenly moved slightly, as if the lake at night was slightly rippling, only to hear the sound of "pop", the girl firmly pressed the chess pieces in her hand on the chessboard, and then the corners of her lips were hooked, and her eyebrows were raised, and a picture of the quiet years was fixed in Xie Yun's eyes.

At the moment of this chess piece, Gu Yanling felt the thirst in his mouth, and when he just raised his hand to pick up the teacup and poke it slightly, he saw the figure standing at the door in the afterglow, and when she looked sideways, she smiled slightly in her eyes, and did not get up, only put the teacup down gently, and then pointed her finger at the chessboard and said: "Cousin, this game of chess, I will help you play." ”

Xie Yun retracted his gaze with a smile when he heard this, walked over and looked at the chessboard without hesitation, and then raised his eyes and said: "Your chess skills have indeed improved, it seems that I really have to think about it." ”

When Xie Yun spoke, the tip of Gu Yanling's small nose moved almost imperceptibly, and then smiled and pinched a handful of sunspots in his hand and said: "When my cousin hasn't come back yet, my mother was supposed to come and wait in person, and my cousin also knew my mother's body, so Ah Jiu persuaded me to come and wait for my mother, my cousin went to the eldest princess's mansion today, is it okay?"

In the end, the girl's smile gradually faded away, replaced by a silent seriousness.

Xie Yun smiled slightly in his eyes when he heard this, and quite naturally took the teacup from the girl's tray and took a sip, then gently put it on the case and said: "It's okay, cousin Jiu'er, don't worry, it's just that Aunt Lao and the elders in the house are worried today." ”

Gu Yanling's smile gradually opened when he heard this, and the palm that was originally holding the chess pieces spread out slightly, and the chess pieces slid into the chess box one by one, making a "bang" sound.

"Well, when I heard the news that you had returned, I had already persuaded my grandfather and them to rest, and it was already late at night, and my cousin had rested earlier. ”

Seeing the girl's smiling appearance, Xie Yun's hand hidden under the sleeve paused slightly, and then calmly got up with a smile and said, "Cousin Jiu'er rest early." ”

When the girl heard this, she got up, and seeing that Xie Yun was about to send it, she smiled sideways and said, "Just a few steps, Cousin Yun Mo has sent it, let's rest." ”

After saying that, Xie Yun paused, and Gu Yanling walked out accompanied by Yubi.

"White furnace, send it to my cousin. ”

When Bai Lu heard this, he hurriedly followed, and when he came to the porch, Gu Yanling gathered his cloak, and when he heard Bai Lu's send-off, his feet that had originally leaned down the stone steps were slightly retracted, and then he said calmly: "Today, the eldest princess has a banquet, and your lords are setting up a single seat, or everyone is seated together." ”

Bai Lu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then blurted out without thinking: "Back to the girl's words, it is a single seat." ”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Lu couldn't help but feel strange, but the girl in front of her only let out a slight "oh", and her picturesque side face did not change in the slightest in the night, so she turned to say: "Serve my cousin and drink the decanting soup." ”

Bai Lu hurriedly said yes when he heard this, and when he looked up again, the girl wrapped in a cloak had already gone away, and her figure disappeared into the night little by little.

When the master and servant were on the way back to Liuliyuan, seeing that the girl was silent, her expression was unusually calm, and both Jubi and Jiang Zhu thought that their girl seemed to be in a bad mood, so they were more cautious.

At this moment, Gu Yanling was walking, thinking about Fang Cai's affairs, and from Xie Yun's seat, she smelled the smell of gentleness, but Xie Yun told her with a look of indifference that there was nothing wrong with today's banquet.

And in the question between Fang Cai and Bai Lu, it is even clearer that today's banquet is a single seat, even if Xie Yun sits in the position of the leader, as a gift to the monarch and ministers, Xie Yun will naturally not be too close to the seat of the eldest princess Zhaomao, since it is not so close, then where does this smell of the gentleman's fragrance come from?

As such a charming female spice, she didn't think that the civil officials of the dynasty would use it, if it was a concubine who served wine, they couldn't afford to use such a precious spice in their identity, and they couldn't use it except for the eldest princess Zhaomao, there seemed to be no one else.

But to let such a smell stain Xie Yun's body, if the two of them are not close to each other, it doesn't sound reasonable at all, peeling off these details little by little, Gu Yanling has already sniffed out a little ominous premonition, coupled with the impression of the eldest princess Zhaomao in these two lives, with her arrogance in handling things, she can do anything appalling.

When all of this was strung together and gradually turned into a terrible and abominable conclusion flashing through her mind, Gu Yanling could barely restrain the anger in her heart.

Because it was night, Yubi and Jiangzhu, who were close to her, did not see the girl's gloomy face at the moment, let alone her clenched hands and a trace of cruel eyes.

With the marriage of Xiao Yi, the mastermind of Pingyi County, in the past, she still wants to fall on Xie Yun with her greedy eyes.

The eldest princess of Zhaomao, this is determined to get along with her and the people around her.

Since the two of them can't get along with each other, it's better to let this fight get started.

"Did you go to ask, did you have the letter to my second uncle? ”

The girl's abrupt words made Jubi and Jiang Zhu slightly stunned, and then Jiang Zhu said loudly: "Back to the girl, listen to Song Yan, the letter sent has already arrived, and now the reply from the uncle is about to return to Beijing, but I am afraid that it will only be these two days." ”

The corners of Gu Yanling's lips hooked slightly when she heard this, since the second uncle gave a reply, it means that the matter in Suzhou has been controlled by him, so her plan is one step closer.
