Chapter 168: Advice
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little delicate, Mrs. Zheng took over the conversation with a smile, and told the episode just now in a few words. At the end, he joked: "No wonder Sister Lan is unhappy." If you really think that I am a godmother, you will have to live in the Cold Moon Pavilion every day to accompany Yu'er in the future. ”
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows in surprise, glanced at Ye Qinglan slowly, and said with a meaningful smile: "Although Cousin Lan is young, she is smart and resolute, and she is very assertive, since she is not willing to agree, she naturally has her reasons." Mother, don't be strong. ”
Mrs. Zheng smiled dumbly.
Ye Qinglan laughed dryly and laughed twice, and simply didn't explain anything. Anyway, she doesn't want to, and no one can do anything about her.
Gu Xinian asked with concern about Gu Xiyu's rules.
Gu Xiyu replied honestly: "Mama Rong has taught a lot, but I can't remember it." "It's right, and it's not empty at all.
Mrs. Zheng gave her a helpless and amused look. Gu Xinian responded as a matter of course: "If you can't remember it, don't remember it." It's just a trip to the palace, even if the etiquette is not thorough, my aunt won't blame you. If you don't want to learn, don't learn. ”
Gu Xiyu was so happy when she heard this, she glanced at Mrs. Zheng. Big brother has said so, don't let me learn!
Mrs. Zheng said angrily: "How can this work." When so many people look at it, if Yu'er loses her manners, she will become a laughing stock. ”
Gu Xinian said casually: "Who dares to make fun of Yu'er? "The emperor will not worry about a young girl, the queen is her own aunt, and she will definitely not worry about her. As for the others, at most, they just muttered a few words in their hearts. No one will say it without interest.
Mrs. Zheng was choked for a moment, and then said, "It's always good to learn more rules." Yu'er is not young anymore, so she can't stay in the house all the time and not go out to meet people! In this fluttering remark, it is obvious that there is something else.
Gu Xinian's eyes narrowed slightly. The smile faded.
Ye Qinglan's heart was also moved. What does Mrs. Zheng mean by that? Could it be that he wanted to take advantage of this entry into the palace to find a suitable family for Gu Xiyu?
Gu Xiyu didn't hear anything extraneous, she looked at Mrs. Zheng innocently, then at Gu Xinian, and then at Ye Qinglan. I also felt strange in my heart. What exactly are they talking about? Why didn't she understand a word?
"It's not too early, you all go back and rest!" Mrs. Zheng broke the silence and gently instructed: "Yu'er, you cheer up tomorrow and follow Mama Rong to learn the rules, do you hear?" ”
One mentions learning the rules. Gu Xiyu lost her spirit and responded listlessly.
Gu Xinian's eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a smile: "It just so happens that I am also going back to Yunxuan." Let's go together. ”
Gu Xiyu happily agreed. Since Ye Qinglan came back, she and Gu Xinian have automatically reconciled.
Gu Xinian hadn't seen Gu Xiyu smile so gently and sweetly at him for a long time, and while he was happy, he was a little embarrassed. If he hadn't bowed his head and given in, if Ye Qinglan hadn't come. I'm afraid that Gu Xiyu still won't pay attention to him!
silently walked out of Jingxin Garden, and then was silent all the way.
Gu Xiyu doesn't like to talk, Gu Xinian is full of worries and has no intention of talking, but Ye Qinglan can't wait to lower her sense of existence and not provoke Gu Xinian's attention.
can't be provoked, she can always hide!
It's a pity. Things do not turn out the way you want. Gu Xinian didn't know what he thought, so he suddenly looked at her and said idly, "Cousin Lan." Can you take a step to speak? ”
Ye Qinglan opened her mouth and refused without thinking: "It's getting late, let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to say!" The temptation of the two has already had a result, and they tacitly only don't know each other's secrets. Now it's best to keep your distance from the well, and keep your distance!
Hearing this obvious prevarication, Gu Xinian was not angry. just said lightly: "There are some things I want to say to you now." ”
……
Hey, hey, hey. Don't say it's so ambiguous. This girl is sitting up straight, and it has nothing to do with your half a dime!
Ye Qinglan replied angrily: "Cousin Gu, you should always understand the truth that men and women don't kiss!" ”
Gu Xinian tugged at the corners of his lips, and a familiar mockery appeared in his eyes again: "Don't worry, I just have a few words to tell you." It means nothing else. "With your stinking face and shriveled body, what can I do?
……
Ye Qinglan gritted her teeth secretly. In front of Gu Xinian, her proud self-control and calmness are gradually disintegrating, and every time she sees his arrogant face that seems to be smiling but not smiling, she has the urge to beat people!
Gu Xiyu saw that the atmosphere between the two was wrong, and suddenly became a little nervous: "Big brother, what's wrong with you and Cousin Lan?" "The most respected brother and the best friend are not in the right place, and there is nothing more annoying to her.
The last time the two had a quarrel, Cousin Lan left, and the eldest brother deliberately prevented her from going out of the house to see Cousin Lan. finally forced the eldest brother to give in, she didn't want to see the two quarrel again......
"Nothing!" The two people who were frowning coldly just now invariably squeezed out a smile to appease Gu Xiyu. I almost forgot that Gu Xiyu was still on the side!
Gu Xiyu glanced at the two of them uneasily and confusedly: "Is it really nothing?" You almost got into a fight......"
"Yu'er don't worry," Gu Xinian interrupted Gu Xiyu unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "I just have something I want to ask Cousin Tolan in private." ”
Ye Qinglan suddenly became vigilant when she heard this. What is Gu Xinian's idea?
After Gu Xinian comforted Gu Xiyu, he looked at Ye Qinglan politely: "Cousin Lan, please come here." ”
Ye Qinglan reluctantly followed Gu Xinian a few steps away and stood still under a begonia tree. The maids stood far away, so that they would not be heard, and they would not be criticized under the melon fields and plums.
The lanterns not far away were softly lit and dim. The handsome face with a compelling grace added more hazy beauty in the soft light.
Isn't there a saying that says? Look at the beauty under the lamp, the more you look at it, the more beautiful it becomes. Even if it is only eight points, it will become ten points under the lamp. What's more, the man in front of him is a top-notch beautiful man with extremely lethal power. In the dim light, it is even more handsome and breathtaking. And at this moment, those black eyes like black jade were looking at her fixedly.
Ye Qinglan only felt that her cheeks were slightly hot, and her heart skipped a beat. Although I repeatedly comforted myself that this was just the most normal physiological reaction to seeing a beautiful man, the inexplicable chagrin in my heart lingered. The tone is naturally not much better: "Let's talk about something directly, no need to go around in circles." ”
As for what Gu Xinian said just now, please ask her, she naturally won't believe it.
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows and smiled suddenly. That smile is completely different from the usual shallow and indifferent, a little playful and probing: "I don't seem to offend you when we meet this time!" How did you see me like a hedgehog. ”
In the past two days, she has obviously avoided him. When they met occasionally, they never looked at him much, and the number of conversations between the two was even rarer.
Ye Qinglan shot back without thinking: "Since we all know each other's details, don't pretend to be like this." If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. ”
Spending more than a second with him, she felt uncomfortable and awkward. The thought of the other person knowing their secret makes it even worse. It's like being defenseless in front of an enemy with a strong force value. It's like being naked in front of strangers**...... Uh, the latter metaphor is too obscene, shoot off!
Gu Xinian's eyes flashed slightly, and he said lightly: "Okay, time is running out, I'll make a long story short." This time when you enter the palace, you must remember to stay by Yu'er's side all the time, and you can't let her out of your sight. Even if your aunt wants to summon her, you have to follow. Also, don't let any strangers get close to her. ”
This request was not too much, but somehow, Ye Qinglan smelled something unusual: "Why?" ”
Gu Xiyu is just a delicate woman, she lives in the boudoir on weekdays, and she knows very few people. It shouldn't be that someone specifically targeted her. What's more, Queen Gu is Gu Xiyu's aunt, so it won't be bad for her!
Gu Xinian replied lightly: "Since I told you so, I naturally have my reasons. ”
Ye Qinglan frowned, quickly stretched out, and said lightly: "If you don't make it clear, please forgive me for not being able to obey." ”
A trace of coldness flashed in Gu Xinian's eyes, and his voice also cooled: "Knowing too much will not benefit you." ”
Ye Qinglan tugged at the corners of her lips, and a sarcastic smile appeared in her eyes: "Cousin Gu has a good plan, he wants me to help, but he doesn't tell me anything." Why do you think I'm going to listen to you? ”
Gu Xinian's tone was cold and sharp: "Because you also care about Yu'er's safety, don't you?" ”
Safety?
Ye Qinglan sensitively caught this word, and suddenly sighed in her heart: "What do you mean by that?" Could it be that there is any danger in entering the palace this time? ”
The man in front of him is a reborn person, and what happened in his previous life is naturally clear. Now that that's what you say, something unusual will definitely happen when you enter the palace this time!
Gu Xinian refused to explain more, but simply repeated it again: "You just do it." ”
Ye Qinglan's eyes narrowed slightly, the anger in her heart was completely provoked, and she looked back defiantly: "If you don't make it clear, I won't agree to you." ”
Gu Xinian's eyes darkened, and his tone became more and more cold and impatient: "It's not a good habit to always like to get to the bottom of things." ”
"Personally, I think it's one of my greatest strengths." Ye Qinglan fought back without fear: "If you want me to help, you have to show sincerity." I'm not interested in being kept in the dark as a pawn. ”
The last smile on Gu Xinian's face was gone, and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
