162. Chapter 162

By the time Wang Jiulang and Gu Chongyang returned to the capital, Ruifeng, who had returned to the capital first, had already put the collected information on Wang Jiulang's desk.

Looking at the information that was exactly what Gu Chongyang said, Wang Jiulang's fingers tapped on the table a few times.

Mei promised to be very favored, and was named Mei Concubine on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival; And the emperor did have the idea of going to Yaoshan to hunt.

It seems that he is going to have a good talk with the little girl.

He remembered that Gu Chongyang seemed to like eating cat ears very much, so he instructed the little servant: "Buy some cat ears, and prepare some other snacks." โ€

The little servant left in response, but when he finished reading all the books, Gu Chongyang still didn't arrive.

They made an appointment to discuss his condition today.

Wang Jiulang put down the book and asked Ruifeng: "Has Miss Gu gone back yet?" โ€

"Nope." Ruifeng walked in and reported: "It's Madame, there are guests there, and Miss Gu is helping to entertain the guests." โ€

Wang Jiulang's face fell slightly, and his voice was a little cold: "What kind of guest?" โ€

"Back to the ninth master, it is He Shanchang of Ruizhu Academy and the eldest lady of the Gu family of Qingyang Hou, and this time I came to discuss with my wife about this year's Yaoqin Festival."

Wang Jiulang nodded, got up and walked out.

Ruifeng knew that he was going to see it for himself.

He Shanchang likes Gu Chonghua very much, she cultivates Gu Chonghua as a disciple, and from the very beginning, she is sure that Gu Chonghua will definitely be able to pass five levels and cut six generals to become the champion of the talent competition, and worship under the name of Mrs. Baozhen. At that time, the reputation of Ruizhu Academy will definitely be even more prominent. And she, as the head of the mountain, can also have a perfect curtain call.

What I never expected was that Mrs. Baozhen actually accepted a little-known little girl as a disciple, and this little girl didn't even have the qualifications to enter Ruizhu Academy.

This incident once made it rumored that Mrs. Baozhen and Ruizhu Academy were not in agreement, and she, the head of the mountain, offended Mrs. Baozhen, so Mrs. Baozhen deliberately accepted such a person to slap her in the face.

He Shanchang couldn't sit still, during the time when Gu Chongyang and Wang Jiulang went to Taihu Lake, she came to the door three times and twice, and persuaded Mrs. Baozhen to accept Gu Chonghua: "Chonghua and the fourth miss of the Gu family are sisters, one is a miracle doctor with superb medical skills, and the other is known as a talented woman. โ€

Mrs. Baozhen smiled and did not speak.

Gu Chonghua is indeed a talented woman, she has heard of her name for a long time, but she has seen a lot of talented women, and there is only one Gu Chongyang who can move Jiulang's heart.

Her disciple is young and simple-minded, and she can't understand Jiulang's mind at all, and Jiulang doesn't take the initiative. In order to be able to hold her grandson as soon as possible, she tried her best to create opportunities for Jiulang.

She can't wait for Jiulang to be with Chongyang day and night, and touch Chongyang's heart as soon as possible. Sometimes she felt that she was all superfluous people, so how could she get another Gu Chonghua to come in and disturb them?

"I'm old and don't have a lot of energy, so I really don't want to teach students anymore."

She has a ruddy complexion and looks like a person in her twenties, where is she old?

He Shan Changming knew that Mrs. Baozhen was talking nonsense with her eyes open, but she was helpless, she could only retreat and say: "It's really a pity that Madame said this. I came this time, in fact, I wanted to invite Miss Gu Si to participate in the Yaoqin Festival, and at the same time, I asked Mrs. to be the judge of this year's Yaoqin Festival. โ€

The first empress of the Great Qi Dynasty - Tai. Zu Yuan and Queen Sheng Jia love to listen to the piano and play the piano. Zu treated the pianist well, collected famous pianos to please his wife, and also set up the Yaoqin Festival on the birthday of Empress Shengjia, so that the best violinists in the world could compete and test their piano skills together, and the outstanding ones were rewarded.

Empress Sheng Jia and Tai. The ancestors have long been returned to dust, but the Yaoqin Festival has been handed down, but it has evolved from a competition between the piano master to a competition between the daughter of the boudoir and the son of the family. The annual Yaoqin Festival is also becoming more and more grand, which can be said to be a grand event for young men and women in the Great Qi Dynasty.

Mrs. Baozhen is a talented woman, and when she was young, she was also keen to participate in the Yaoqin Festival, and after she got married, she judged the Yaoqin Festival every year, and then her husband died, because Wang Jiulang didn't like it, so she rarely attended.

She originally wanted to refuse, but thinking that Gu Chongyang, as her disciple, would definitely show up at this Yaoqin Festival. She, who is a husband, has to cheer for her disciples.

Thinking like this, Mrs. Baozhen smiled and agreed to He Shanchang's invitation.

The Yaoqin Festival is on June 15, and He Shanchang came today to send an official post.

Gu Chonghua and Gu Chongyang sat opposite each other, and suddenly they both laughed.

They are all Gu family members, but one of them studies in Ruizhu Academy, and they only go home once every half a month, and the other follows Mrs. Baozhen to study, so they can only stay at home for half a day. Counting the days, the two haven't seen each other for two months, but they didn't expect that this meeting would be elsewhere, not at the Gu family.

Seeing that the Gu sisters were like this, Mrs. Baozhen smiled: "The flowers in the garden are blooming well, Chongyang will take your sister to see, let's talk, don't be restrained." โ€

He Shanchang was surprised by Mrs. Baozhen's easy-goingness, but Gu Chonghua felt that it was not a taste in the center of his ears. I didn't expect Mrs. Baozhen to be so easy to get along with, which was completely different from the arrogance and coldness rumored outside, and what I didn't expect was that the fourth sister could walk around at will in the Wenguo Mansion.

Since you can move around at will, you must be able to meet Wang Jiulang.

And this qiฤ“ was originally supposed to be hers. Now that he has been snatched away by Gu Chongyang, how unfair is God?

She smiled, took Gu Chongyang's arm, and asked her kindly: "I heard that my grandmother said that you went to Taihu Lake to treat your relatives in the Wenguo Mansion, can you still be happy?" โ€

"It's quite smooth, the patient has recovered." Thinking of the bits and pieces of being with Wang Jiulang back and forth, Gu Chongyang's face was a little hot.

She admired the moon with Jiurou, drank together, he got drunk, kissed her, she told him her biggest secret, and he also told her the cause of his illness, which is not considered a heart-to-heart in another sense.

Seeing the smile on the corner of her mouth and her face slightly reddened, Gu Chonghua was a little surprised, and couldn't help but be jealous. Gu Chongyang is getting more and more beautiful, even more beautiful than Princess Hanshan, who is known as the Pearl of Great Qi.

She is the most beloved young lady of the old lady of the long house, and now she has the title of a disciple of Mrs. Baozhen.

Gu Chonghua's eyes darkened, but the smile on his face remained the same: "Tell me, what interesting things happened when you went to Taihu Lake?" โ€

Before, because Gu Chongyang became a disciple of Mrs. Baozhen, the two sisters had a disagreement, but later the contradiction was resolved, and Gu Chonghua treated her much more affectionately than before.

Gu Chongyang was happy in his heart, so he smiled and told her what he saw and heard on the road: "It's nothing interesting, it's just that I met an old woman who sells donkey meat on the road......"

The two sisters turned around the corner of the corridor holding hands, Gu Chongyang was still talking, but Gu Chonghua suddenly let go of his hand and stood firmly.

Following her line of sight, Gu Chongyang saw Wang Jiulang, who was dressed in white and suave, with a relaxed expression, as if he had inadvertently passed by here.

Gu Chongyang wanted to step forward to talk to Wang Jiulang, but when she saw Gu Chonghua stop and bow her head slightly, she looked like a famous Shuyuan, so she learned Gu Chonghua to stand on the side, waiting for Wang Jiulang to arrive.

Quite good at pretending!

Wang Jiulang laughed silently, and when people walked up to her, there was no smile on his face: "Why are you standing here?" โ€

"Sir is talking to Chief He, and we are going to go around the garden." Gu Chongyang introduced: "This is my eldest sister, who is now studying at Ruizhu Academy, and is He Shanchang's favorite apprentice. โ€

With a light smile on his face, Gu Chonghua stepped forward, blessed himself slightly, and said softly: "Gu Chonghua has seen Jiulang. โ€

Downright and generous, neither humble nor arrogant, she has the appearance of a real noble girl.

Wang Jiulang bowed slightly: "Miss Gu, please take care of yourself, Chongyang will come with me." โ€

After speaking, he walked past Gu Chonghua without squinting.

Gu Chongyang felt a little sorry: "Big sister, will you go to the garden by yourself?" Or wait here for me, and I'll be back later. โ€

"Wang Jiulang must have something important to look for you, you should go over quickly." Gu Chonghua smiled lightly: "It is estimated that the mountain chief should finish speaking, and I will go back." โ€

Gu Chongyang's face was full of apologies, and he shook Gu Chonghua's hand: "Big sister, ......"

"What are you doing here?" Gu Chonghua said unhappily: "You are a girl of the Gu family, and your every move represents the face of the Gu family, how can you ignore Jiulang's words?" Go quickly, why do we two sisters see each other like this? โ€

She pinched Gu Chongyang's nose: "I don't need you to accompany me this time, but if you don't come on the day of the Yaoqin Festival, I will definitely be angry." โ€

"Big sister, don't worry, I will definitely come over early that day to cheer you on!"

"It's not enough to just cheer me on!" Gu Chonghua said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that the Gu family of Qingyang Hou has two pearls now?" One is Gu Chonghua, a talented girl from Ruizhu Academy, and the other is Gu Chongyang, a closed disciple of Mrs. Baozhen. You rarely show up in front of everyone, everyone is very curious about you, this Yaoqin Festival, you have to show your hands anyway, otherwise won't it disappoint everyone? โ€

"I'm actually worried." Gu Chongyang frowned lightly: "I'm afraid that I will make a fool of myself that day and lose my husband's face." โ€

Gu Chonghua patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, there is still a period of time before the Yaoqin Festival, you practice slowly, and you can always pass perfunctory." I'm not worried about these things now, Wang Jiulang is still waiting for you, go quickly. โ€

Gu Chongyang's brows furrowed: "What my eldest sister reminded me is that I must practice hard recently." โ€

When Gu Chongyang left, Gu Chonghua's face slowly turned pale.

Wang Jiulang didn't even look at himself, but called the fourth sister Chongyang...... Looking at Gu Chongyang's situation just now, it is obvious that he is very familiar with Wang Jiulang, when did they become so intimate?

For so many years, she has worked hard to read books and memorize poems and practice the piano, and her fingers are calloused, in order to become a disciple of Mrs. Baozhen, one step closer to Wang Jiulang.

But now this qiฤ“ has been ruined by Gu Chongyang......

She is unwilling, so unwilling!

Gu Chonghua looked at Gu Chongyang's distant back steadily, and secretly made up his mind in his heart. What belongs to her, she must take it back.

At this time, Wang Jiulang had already boated on Taiyi Lake with Gu Chongyang.

In early summer, the lotus leaves are pavilions on Taiyi Lake, and weeping willows and flowers are planted all over the lake. Butterflies and bees wander among the flowers, the wind blows, the lotus leaves dance with the wind, sending a burst of fragrance, and the weeping willows on the shore are colorful.

Wang Jiulang held the long artemisia in his hand and rowed the boat himself, Gu Chongyang sat upright at the stern of the boat, looking up at Wang Jiulang, with greed in his eyes that could not be mistaken.

Jiurou has already promised to let her be cured, and when Jiurou's illness is cured, she should also say goodbye to Jiurou.

Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity to get along with Jiulang now, she should cherish it even more, look at Jiulang a few more times, and strive to imprint him in her heart.

When she gets old, she can slowly reminisce.

Propping the boat up to a secluded place, Wang Jiulang stopped and sat across from her.

"You said before that the emperor was frightened when he went hunting in Yaoshan, and when he came back, he couldn't afford to get sick, what happened later?"

The boat was not big, and the two were so close that their knees were almost together. Gu Chongyang's heart began to beat like thunder again, and she felt a wave of heat from her ears to her face, making her feel a little hot.

She didn't have to look in the mirror to know that her face must be red.

But Jiurou was still sitting across from her, waiting for her to answer.

She looks like this, how can she talk well.

It's really useless, so I blushed and my heart beat like this!

She bit her lip in annoyance and took the fart. He moved to the back, and only when he calmed down did he begin to answer Wang Jiulang's words.

"After the emperor fell ill, the second prince served closely, tasted the medicine himself, and also found a disciple of Doctor Xue to come over to help the emperor treat his illness. In March of the following year, the emperor recovered, and he relied on the second prince very much. โ€

The eldest prince has a gentle personality, is obese, has no major shortcomings, but is not very good, and the whole person is relatively mediocre and gentle.

But as a prince, not being good is the biggest shortcoming. In particular, there is a second prince who is only one year younger than him, but he is handsome, tall and prosperous, personable, and articulate, and he is compared to him at once.

Even the emperor said that the second prince was very similar to him when he was young, which shows how much the second prince pleases the emperor.

Wang Jiulang's fingers tapped, lost in thought.

If the emperor wants to make a crown prince, he will definitely ask the opinions of the Wang family. The second maternal ancestor is the Duke of Wenguo, and he is the first assistant of the cabinet, and he is the crown prince, so he can't cross him no matter what.

As far as he knew, the emperor was actually more inclined to the second prince in his heart, but in the end, he set up the eldest prince, which may not be inseparable from the second ancestor.

Although the eldest prince is mediocre, he treats people and things gently and politely, and it is the queen's concubine who occupies the identity of the eldest son, I am afraid that he has entered the eyes of the second ancestor. The empress's mother's brother is a powerful general, and the emperor has to think about it.

Wang Jiulang thought that he was going to find an opportunity to talk to the second old lady recently, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Gu Chongyang's face.

The sun was gentle, falling on the little girl's white and soft face like mutton fat jade, maybe it was sunburned, her face was slightly red, and the tip of her nose was also dripping with some sweat.

Wang Jiulang couldn't help but stretch out his fingers and gently wiped the sweat from the tip of her nose, the skin at the tentacles was delicate and warm, and Qiong's nose was small and beautiful, so he couldn't help but linger.

It is estimated that his movements were too sudden, and the little girl was frightened, her eyes were slightly wide as a frightened deer, and she was indescribably cute and pitiful.

"Jiulang, what's wrong with you......" Gu Chongyang pursed his lips, his red mouth was even more tempting, his big eyes blinked, and he was a little overwhelmed.

That pretty face was even more red, like a red apple, which made people want to take a bite.

He finally realized his gaffe, but it was too late to withdraw his hand at this time.

In the end, he couldn't help it, and abruptly abrupt the little girl, what would she think of him?

"Kuro!"

His hand cupped her chin and rubbed against the tip of her nose, and the sensual impact made her heart beat like thunder, her face flushed, and goosebumps rose.

Her heart was like a cat's claw, which made her anxious, and the evil fire came up again, she felt that she couldn't help it, and wanted to throw herself into Jiulang's arms, wanting to push him down.

No way! If she continues like this, she will lose control.

"Kuro!" Gu Chongyang raised his hand and was about to wave his arm away.

"Don't move!" Wang Jiulang suddenly leaned over and approached her closely, and his breath was about to spray on her face: "There is a bee that has stopped on your head." โ€

Gu Chongyang's body stiffened, and all the beautiful thoughts in his heart receded, leaving only panic: "Is it a bee or a bee or another insect?" โ€

Bees are less venomous, and ants are more venomous, and if they are other insects, it may be even more terrifying.

Wang Jiulang looked at the top of her empty head fixedly, and said, "Like a bee, it's bigger than a bee." โ€

Gu Chongyang believed it, and his voice changed in fright: "Is it the kind with a round body as thick as a little finger, a black head, black wings, and relatively short tentacles?" โ€

Wang Jiulang observed carefully for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, don't be afraid, I'll help you get rid of it." โ€

Wang Jiulang stood up, the boat shook, Gu Chongyang felt scared, and hugged Wang Jiulang's waist.

Wang Jiulang's body stiffened, and he stood in a daze for a while, when suddenly a trace of blush crawled across his face, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled.

"Okay? Kuro, did the bees drive away? Gu Chongyang hugged him very tightly and didn't dare to move, obviously very scared.

Wang Jiulang lowered his head, reached out and touched her hand, and said with a gentleness that he had never felt before: "Don't be afraid, I have already driven it away." โ€

Gu Chongyang hurriedly let go and touched the top of his head, but sure enough, he didn't touch anything, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

After the toss just now, she sweated more on her body, and there was also sweat on her forehead.

Wang Jiulang saw that her little face was red, her sideburns were wet with sweat, she was a little distressed and a little self-blamed, she took out a handkerchief and handed it to her to wipe her sweat, and reached out to pick a neat lotus leaf, and personally put it on her head, so she supported the boat, like a Taiyi lotus boat rowing.

"Tell me again, what happened next?"

"First of all, the mighty general died of illness, and then the crown princess's father was defeated by the Japanese in Fujian, and the emperor was furious and reprimanded the prince for unfavorable troop transfer, nepotism, and delaying state affairs. Later, it was Xue Shenyi's disciples who found that the incense used in the emperor's palace was poisonous, and the emperor was furious, so Jinyiwei investigated thoroughly, and all kinds of evidence pointed to the prince. โ€

"The crown prince was demoted to a concubine and โ–กโ–ก for life. The second prince was made the crown prince, and in May of the same year, the emperor died of illness, and the second prince ascended the throne. A year after the second prince ascended the throne, King Rong rebelled, and the eunuchs in the palace were bribed by King Rong and poisoned the new emperor, and King Rong's rebellion was successful. โ€

Wang Jiulang nodded, continued to support Artemisia, and did not speak.

Gu Chongyang was a little anxious: "Jiulang, can you stop the second prince from ascending the throne?" The second prince is quite mediocre and absurd, if it weren't for the fact that he thought about alchemy and medicine all day after registration, seeking the art of immortality, and making the court into a miasma, King Rong would not have succeeded in rebellion so easily. โ€

If it weren't for the success of King Rong's rebellion, how could the Wenguo Mansion be beheaded by the whole family, and how could Wang Jiulang be forced to that step?

The undisguised anxious concern in Gu Chongyang's eyes made Wang Jiulang's heart swell, and it felt good to be relied on and trusted.

"Good!" Wang Jiulang bowed his head gently, and his voice was like a spring breeze in March, which was slightly smoky: "Don't worry, the scene in your dream will never appear, I promise." โ€

He wants to live well and protect her well.

Opposite his gaze, Gu Chongyang could clearly hear his pounding heartbeat and feel his pulsating blood.

There is no doubt that she really likes the majestic man in front of her.

He protected her, cared for her, took care of him, and now it was finally her turn to repay him.

"Jiurou, have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare? Your illness really can't be delayed any longer and must be treated immediately. โ€

"We'll talk about it when we're ready."

The boat docked at the Taiyi Lotus Boat, and Wang Jiulang was the first to land, and then naturally stretched out his hand towards Gu Chongyang.

The fingers are slender and white, with distinct joints and strong bones.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help but swallow his saliva, she was already fourteen years old, and Jiulang still treated her as a child.

People were still hesitating, Wang Jiulang had already grabbed her wrist, and with a light lift, her whole person landed firmly on the ground.

Gu Chongyang looked back at the boat, then looked at the ground, and estimated the distance in his heart, and couldn't help but be a little confused.

So far away, Jiurou brought her up at once, how did he do it?

"Jiurou, do you know kung fu?"

Her eyes widened and she looked at Wang Jiulang in amazement, with anticipation and adoration in her eyes.

No matter how calm and sophisticated Wang Jiulang is, he is just an ordinary young man in front of his beloved woman at the moment, and he can't help but feel a little fluttering when he sees the little girl looking at him like this.

The little girl's adoring eyes and surprised tone made him feel like he had eaten ginseng fruit, and there was nothing on his body that was not ironed.

The heart is extremely happy, but the face is very calm, only slightly hooked lips and nodded: "It's a little bit of effort." โ€

"I knew it, I knew it!" Gu Chongyang's eyes were as bright as stars in the sky, and he looked at him without blinking: "You definitely don't know a little bit of effort, you must be very powerful, right?" Jiulang, you are so good, not only proficient in poetry and rhyme, but also kung fu, no wonder people say that you are a first-class character of a fairy, no wonder there are so many little girls who love you. โ€

Gu Chongyang suddenly stopped, raised his head and asked solemnly: "I read that the legendary book says that there is a kind of person who can do kung fu, can fly eaves and walk walls, shrink bones and deform, dragonflies and water, and can be invulnerable, is this true?" โ€

The little girl's eyes were wide open, and she asked strange things seriously, which was extremely cute, Wang Jiulang couldn't help it, couldn't help laughing, and shook her head helplessly.

Gu Chongyang was stunned.

Kurou usually keeps a straight face, and even if he occasionally smiles, it's only shallow and very perfunctory, and it's rare to laugh heartily like today. It's like the sky at the beginning of the rain after the rain, bright and comfortable, and people's hearts are brightened.

Seeing that he was walking away, Gu Chongyang stepped up to catch up and asked, "Jiulang, will you be able to?" โ€

"Some will, some won't." Wang Jiulang looked at her dotingly and said comfortingly: "Some are not as powerful as you say. โ€

"In other words, Jiurou, you really know?" Gu Chongyang sighed: "It's so powerful, it must be difficult for Jiulang to walk on the wall, no wonder I took a bath that day, Jiulang, you ......."

The words stopped abruptly, Gu Chongyang hated to bite off his tongue, and he wanted to mention what happened that day.

Her face was so red that she could drip blood, and she didn't move, not daring to look at Wang Jiulang's face.
