Chapter 452: Heart-to-heart
Zheng Junyan suddenly understood, and asked in a low voice, "Is there a social?" "After entering the officialdom, there is more entertainment. The "connection feelings" between colleagues, the flattering and flattering invitations of subordinates, and the banquets of the bosses to win people's hearts are basically not easy to shirk.
Gu Xinian snorted.
If it's any other entertainment, it's just a private banquet set up by the prince himself. If he doesn't show up, he can't really say it. It can be seen that the opportunity to meet Ye Qinglan is so rare. It's hard to choose......
Gu Xinian thought for a moment, and finally made a decision: "I'll have someone send a letter to the prince's mansion later, just say that I am slightly ill and will not go to the banquet tonight." ”
Zheng Junyan raised his eyebrows and laughed in a low voice: "I really didn't expect that my cousin would even push back the invitation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the sake of the tenth sister." ”
Gu Xinian smiled faintly, and his eyes quietly fell on Ye Qinglan, who was smiling and whispering on the side.
In fact, he was surprised that he would make such a decision.
Men should focus on their careers, and should not spend their days in love with their children. He never denied that he was an ambitious man, both determined to avenge his past life and eager to seize power and protect all important people. At present, it seems that the first goal has not been fully achieved, but the second goal is already close at hand.
With the strong rise of the prince's faction in the court, the three princes' faction has been suppressed everywhere and has fallen behind. As the backbone of the prince's faction, he has a deep relationship with the prince, and the natural scenery is infinite. The head of the household is old and sleek, and if he can push it, he can hide it. Qian Shilang is not his opponent at all, and now the household department is basically all in his hands. As long as the household department is still closed. He is the next Tobe Shangshu. At this time, it is the time for him to let go of his hands and feet and work hard. The connection with the crown prince must be close and must not be lost.
Can be these days. He was upset for that girl, and he was arrested at night to visit the boudoir. Now that I see her, I don't even want to go to the prince's mansion......
It seems that there is only one way to solve this problem as soon as possible!
Gu Xi began to seriously think about what kind of method he should use to marry Ye Qinglan back to his house as soon as possible......
Because of the arrival of Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian's brother and sister, Zheng Yun and his wife specially set up a family banquet. In this way, there are separate seats for men and women. In the women's seat, in addition to Ye Qinglan, Ye Qingning, and Gu Xiyu, there are also Mrs. Xu and Zheng Min.
As usual, he finished dinner quietly, and then went to the side hall to gossip with Mrs. Xu's "cordial" greeting. Zheng Min is a stuffy gourd. Gu Xiyu doesn't like to talk much. Mrs. Xu focused her attention on Ye Qinglan.
In fact, today's Ye Qinglan is no longer the same in the eyes of Mrs. Xu. Empress Gu's niece and daughter-in-law, the future granddaughter-in-law of the Dingguo Mansion, and the future wife of the prince of the Dingguo Mansion, this identity is simply a world of difference compared to the insignificant concubine in the past. Therefore, Mrs. Xu's attitude towards Ye Qinglan this time can almost be called kind. asked about the current situation first, and kindly told her to stay a few more days before going back.
Ye Qinglan smiled and dealt with the past one by one. It's a bit of a pampering.
Mrs. Xu saw it in her eyes and couldn't help nodding secretly.
The men's seats dispersed late. Ye Qinglan had never seen Meng Zijun's figure, and she couldn't help but feel secretly strange in her heart. couldn't help but ask Ye Qingning in a low voice: "Sixth sister, why haven't you seen Cousin Meng all the time?" ”
Ye Qingning sighed lightly and replied in a low voice: "He has been since the New Year. I rarely come back. Most of the time he lived in the accommodation provided by the Penal Department. The accommodation and food conditions there are not very good, and your brother-in-law has visited him a few times. and persuade him to come back. But he just wouldn't say anything. ”
Perhaps, it's because I'm afraid of coming back to touch the scene......
Ye Qinglan lowered her eyelids. There was some astringency in my heart.
"You came suddenly this time, but I'm afraid he didn't know it, so he didn't come back." Ye Qingning was talking, and suddenly saw a figure coming from the corner of his eye, and immediately reminded in a low voice: "Hey, Cousin Gu is here, don't think nonsense." ”
Ye Qinglan pulled the corners of her lips silently, raised her head, and met Gu Xinian's eyes.
Once, those seemingly gentle eyes were actually condensed and distant, full of wariness. I don't know when the coldness in his eyes gradually melted away like spring snow, replaced by a faint smile and gentleness.
A trace of throbbing flashed in Ye Qinglan's heart, and Meng Zijun's figure suddenly faded, and there was only the handsome man who came over in his eyes.
The past has forever become the past, and the man she is about to spend her life with is Gu Xinian! He was slowly changing himself and trying to be good to her. She should also really open her heart and return the same sincerity and affection......
Ye Qinglan stared at Gu Xinian, and the corners of her lips slowly bloomed with a beautiful smile.
Gu Xinian's footsteps paused, and a burst of joy suddenly floated in his heart. How keen is he, how can he not detect the subtle changes in Ye Qinglan's feelings? That blooming smile was the first time Ye Qinglan really opened her heart to him!
The two looked at each other, and time seemed to stand still.
Ye Qingning glanced at Gu Xiyu a few times, and seeing that she didn't move at all, he simply took her hand and walked away. It was only about a meter away that he stopped. The maids were naturally more knowledgeable, and they retreated far away without orders, guarding the intersection.
The moon and stars are scarce, the breeze is gentle, and the dark fragrance of flowers and plants floats in the air. Looking at the beauty under the moon, it is a little more graceful than usual. What's more, Ye Qinglan was born beautiful. In the glossy moonlight, it looks even more moving.
Gu Xinian's proud self-control was in jeopardy, and he couldn't help but take a step closer. At this angle, he only needs to bow his head to kiss her smooth face......
Just when Gu Xinian's heart was fluttering and his thoughts were fluttering, Ye Qinglan suddenly said softly: "Gu Xinian, if I sue you, in fact, I feel more guilty about Meng Zijun, will you believe it?" ”
Gu Xinian's smile gradually converged, and he looked at Ye Qinglan fixedly.
The name Meng Zijun has almost become a forbidden area between the two of them, and as long as it is mentioned, it always ends in a fierce quarrel. The night of the Chinese New Year's Eve was a bloody lesson. Although in the end, the two of them each took a step back, but the so-called peace and quiet were only on the surface, and the name was like a thorn in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the first topic of reunion after a long absence will still be Meng Zijun!
Ye Qinglan's soft voice sounded low in the evening breeze: "That night, I was angry with you, so some words were hard to hear. Between me and him, it's actually not what you think. I've known him for a long time, and he's always had a crush on me, but he's never confessed to me. Later, because of one thing, I had a chance to get along with him day and night. I liked his humor and his cheerful enthusiasm, so when he finally mustered up the courage to confess to me, I didn't refuse him. If we have the opportunity to get along well in the future, we will probably be a very loving couple. But God didn't give us this opportunity, and as soon as I agreed to be his girlfriend, I had an accident. When I open my eyes again, it becomes what it is now. ”
Gu Xinian listened silently and did not make a sound.
"The moment I met him again, I was surprised and delighted, but I was also puzzled. I don't know why he's here. Ye Qinglan's tone was a little obscure: "Later, I learned that after I had an accident, he chased him out regardless of his life in order to catch the person who shot him." In the end, although he caught the man, he also died from excessive bleeding and injuries......"
Gu Xinian was finally moved: "So, do you feel indebted to him?" ”
"Yes." Ye Qinglan's eyes flashed faintly: "I do feel sorry for him." He was bent on renewing his relationship with me, but I ruthlessly rejected him. Every time I think about this, I feel very uncomfortable. ”
Seeing Ye Qinglan sad for another man, Gu Xinian's heart was very uncomfortable. But she was willing to open her heart to him and tell the truth, and she really made him ecstatic. All kinds of complex feelings are intertwined and converge into an indescribably complex taste.
Ye Qinglan raised her eyes, and looked at him pleadingly with watery eyes: "I know, this place is different from my previous world." Women should not have too much contact with men, lest they provoke gossip. I also know that you care about me in your heart and don't like me to meet him. But I owe him much. If I had to cut ties with him from now on, I would never have been able to do it. Can you be considerate of me? ”
On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he gritted his teeth and reluctantly backed down, agreeing that she and Meng Zijun could interact like ordinary friends. But both of them knew very well that he didn't really agree to this at all. In the future, there will inevitably be quarrels over the matter of Meng Zijun.
But now, she didn't provoke with sharp words, nor did she deliberately confront him with a tough attitude, but just frankly exposed her softest part in front of his eyes and begged him for sincere forgiveness......
In the face of her tough and resolute, he can harden his heart and fight back without hesitation. But in the face of such a fragile and helpless and completely honest Ye Qinglan, he didn't have the strength to refuse!
Gu Xinian was silent for a long time, and then exhaled a long breath: "Okay, I promise you, from now on, I will never quarrel with you over the matter of Meng Zijun." ”
He was well aware of what the promise meant at this time.
From now on, he had to watch Meng Zijun appear around Ye Qinglan at will. But he can't be jealous and pantothenic acid at will, and he can't get in the way......
Ye Qinglan knew very well what a concession he made such a promise. He is such a proud, conceited, possessive and strong man......
Tears poured out of their eyes, quickly moistening their cheeks.
Gu Xinian's last trace of reluctance also retreated in her tears, and she sighed lightly: "Don't cry, I was bad before, I must have changed it in the future, okay?" ”――
