The so-called self-punishment of three cups is actually a disguised plea to the prince, and of course everyone understands it. They all looked at the prince.

The prince's eyes flashed, and he also smiled and raised his glass: "Self-punishment is boring, why don't we drink three cups together?" Such a statement is to show that he does not mind the other party's gaffe. Such tolerance and generosity naturally won the respect of everyone.

This little episode passed quickly.

After the banquet was dismissed, everyone left the table one by one. The prince left Gu Xinian alone and invited him to the study for tea and chat. After some incomparable gossip, the prince suddenly said, "Cousin, do you really not mind at all?" ”

This sudden question was vague, but Gu Xinian understood it as soon as he heard it, and responded indifferently: "It seems that His Highness still doesn't believe me." The unintentional words of the surnamed Shen made the prince fall in love. It can be seen that the prince's trust in Shen Qiuyu is in jeopardy, and he is even suspicious of him.

The prince was said to be in his mind, and coughed a little embarrassed: "Where is this, when did I not trust you." I'm just worried that what they're saying tonight will be too inappropriate and will upset you, so I wanted to ask you. ”

In the past, when encountering such a topic, Gu Xinian smiled faintly at most, and then pulled the topic away without a trace. But this time, he said frankly: "Cousin, I did like Cousin Qiu Yu before. You know, I grew up with her childhood sweetheart, and she was a beautiful and moving girl, so it was normal for me to fall in love with her. In fact, my cousin was also deeply fascinated by her back then, wasn't he? ”

The prince smiled a little embarrassed and embarrassed: "What are you doing with these old things?" "Every time I talk about this. He was always extraordinarily weak-hearted. Back then, Gu Xinian and Shen Qiuyu were talented and beautiful, and they were the most suitable pair in the eyes of everyone. But he snatched Shen Qiuyu by such disgraceful means...... After that. He always had an indescribable apology and guilt for Gu Xinian. Because of this, he was also very tolerant and accommodating to Gu Xinian.

Gu Xinian glanced at the prince with a smile. said slowly: "Some things, although they are never mentioned, are like a thorn in the heart, even if someone else mentions it casually, that thorn will ache faintly in the heart." Wouldn't it be better to say it completely and pull out this thorn completely? ”

The prince did not say anything, but his expression was a little subtle and moved.

Gu Xinian's voice was very calm: "Actually, I haven't finished what I said just now. I did like her before. But that's all from the past. Ever since she married you as a side concubine, I've been determined to forget about her completely. It took me four whole years to do this. Later, I met Ye Qinglan. I knew she was the one I really wanted to spend my life with. The words I said tonight are indeed from my heart. In my eyes, no one can compare to Ye Qinglan! Even your Concubine Shen is far inferior to her. This is probably what is out of the eyes of the lover. ”

Gu Xinian did not accentuate his tone. It's still so indifferent. But as long as you are familiar with his temper, you will know that at this time he will never say half a word against his will.

The prince was finally moved, and whispered apologetically: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have suspected you casually......"

Gu Xinian's eyes flashed. smiled faintly: "Since I have already said everything today, I will simply say it clearly." Cousin, I know what you're worried about. You're afraid I'll have no feelings for her. I'm also worried that she will never forget her old feelings for me. Yes and no? ”

The prince smiled wryly, but said nothing. It's a default.

Gu Xinian smiled slowly: "If my cousin really can't rest assured, I'll promise you now." From now on, I will never see her again. Now you should believe it! ”

"Believe it, of course I do." The prince smiled busily, and his heart finally really fell.

Just as Gu Xinian was familiar with him, he also knew Gu Xinian's temperament very well. Since Gu Xinian opened his mouth like this and promised, he would never see Shen Qiuyu again in the future. As long as Shen Qiuyu can't see Gu Xinian, the old feelings in his heart should be gradually forgotten......

Gu Xinian looked at the energetic prince, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

The prince didn't realize the true meaning of what he had just said. He is now the number one celebrity around the prince, shouldering the heavy responsibility of giving advice to the prince, and he is also a frequent visitor to the prince's mansion. If Shen Qiuyu never saw him again, there was only one way, and that was to let Shen Qiuyu stay in his own courtyard.

In this way, Shen Qiuyu, who is already on the verge of falling out of favor, will undoubtedly speed up the pace and pace of falling out of favor. With the Mo family and Concubine Lin and others sparing no effort to suppress them, Shen Qiuyu is afraid that his future life will become more and more difficult......

The two of them each had their own wishful thinking, looked at each other and smiled, and had a tacit understanding to end the topic.

When I came out of the prince's mansion, it was already three o'clock in the morning. At this time, the breeze was blowing and the sky was full of stars, and Gu Xinian, who had a little bit of alcohol, suddenly had the urge to see Ye Qinglan.

Calculating, he hasn't seen her since the day of the Shangyuan Festival. In the past, she could invite her to the mansion as a guest in the name of Gu Xiyu to relieve the pain of lovesickness. But now, he has a marriage contract with her, but he has no chance to meet. According to the rules, the two could not meet again until the night when the two got married. It was already his limit to endure a few months......

As soon as this thought came to mind, it suddenly became irrepressible.

Gu Xinian turned over and got on the horse, and casually ordered the little servant Quanfu next to him: "I still have some things, you can go back to the house alone!" ”

Quan Fu was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something, but Gu Xinian had already clamped the horse's belly, and in a blink of an eye, the horse ran away, and it was too late to shout.

Traveling all the way to the outside of Changyuanbo's mansion, Gu Xinian realized his impulsiveness and recklessness. Tonight is completely different from the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve. There were a few secret guards who let him out that night, and Ruomei was inside to answer him. Tonight he was unprepared, and even if he was quite neat, it would not be easy to bypass the guards in the mansion. Not to mention sneaking into the beautiful woman's boudoir over the walled courtyard......

However, it's all here, and it's really unwilling to leave without seeing the previous side.

The horse is human, Gu Xinian only patted the horse's back, then flicked its tail and walked to the dark place in the corner of the wall and waited quietly.

Gu Xinian put his ear to the wall and listened for a moment, then climbed onto the wall neatly, and then jumped down with a loud sound. It is impossible to talk about landing silently, but at this time, when the guards are changing shifts, this is the most remote corner of Changyuan Bofu. Therefore, Gu Xinian didn't arouse anyone's idea, so he quietly flashed in.

He followed his previous memories all the way to the outside of the Hefeng Courtyard. Lightly climbed up the wall again, and then jumped lightly.

It was late at night, and there was silence in the Hefeng Temple. Obviously, all the masters and subordinates have rested. Ye Qinglan is used to sleeping alone, as long as she quietly touches her outside the bedroom, she can see her safely......

Thinking of the smart face, soft red lips, and soft and smooth body, Gu Xinian only felt that his whole body was hot. Now, all he had to do was quietly walk around the hallway and walk outside her room.

It's a pity that Gu Xinian's good luck has obviously run out.

He had only walked a few steps when he heard a slight sound of footsteps behind him. Gu Xinian secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly dodged to the side, but after all, he had not practiced martial arts seriously, and he couldn't talk about how flexible his skills were. What's more, he was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, which was too conspicuous in the dark night......

"Who?" A low, guarded man's voice came.

When Gu Xinian heard this voice, he rarely experienced a taste of embarrassment, and his ears were a little hot. But he had to turn around and meet a pair of surprised and incredulous eyes.

This personable middle-aged man is Ye Chengli, Ye Qinglan's father-in-law Gu Xinian's quasi-father-in-law.

Ye Chengli didn't feel sleepy after getting up at night, so he got up and walked a few steps. Suddenly, he saw a figure, thinking that it was a thief, so he warned him. But he never thought that this thief would be Gu Xinian!!

Gu Xinian has always been calm and calm, and has the bearing and demeanor of Mount Tai who does not change his color when he collapses in front. But at this moment, Gu someone, who is very strong in face and psychology, can't wait to find a hole to get into.

It is indeed a very elegant thing to visit the boudoir at night, but the premise is that no one finds out...... If it happens to be caught by the future father-in-law, it can only be described as a cup!

As everyone knows, Ye Chengli's heart at this time is also in turmoil.

What is the intention of Gu Xinian's intention, a fool can guess......

He, the father, of course, has to swear to protect his daughter's honor and chastity. The most important thing to do now is to shout and let people come and arrest this disciple who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead......

And then what? Beat up and put him in the firewood room or send it to the government? Clearly inappropriate. This is Ye Qinglan's future husband, and he is also a dignified household servant and a third-grade member of the imperial court, such a punishment is really undignified! What's more, he inherited such a big favor from the other party, and after the Shangyuan Festival, he made up for Li Langzhong's lack and became a minister. At this time, it is really unreasonable to turn your face and not admit it!

But if you don't ask, then where will the dignity of his father-in-law be placed? You can't just watch Gu Xinian go to her daughter's boudoir!

After thinking about it, Ye Chengli couldn't think of how to deal with the tricky scene in front of him for a while.

The two were less than eight meters apart, just looking at each other dryly.

After a while, Ye Chengli reacted. I saw him turn around unhurriedly, and "muttered to himself": "It seems that I drank too much tonight, and I was dazzled for a moment and mistakenly thought that there was someone in the yard." (To be continued......)
