On Chinese New Year's Eve, Zheng Rui rushed back in the twilight quadrangle, Xu was quick to whip up all his physical strength, he had obvious fatigue on his face, but he had to answer the summons of the palace and enter the palace with Gu Qingwan to keep the year.

Gu Qingwan's heart, which had been hanging for a few days, finally fell, and asked Hongjin and Bi Su to take out the clothes that had already been prepared, and personally freshen up Zheng Rui.

When Hongjin and Bi Su were in Zhuangzi earlier, they had some vague guesses about whether their prince was different from what the world said. The two of them were waiting by Gu Qingwan's side, Zhuangzi was not as different as Rui Wangfu, there was not so much difference between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, Zheng Rui was nowhere to be seen all day long, how they didn't know in their hearts.

Besides, some time ago, Gu Qingwan and Zheng Rui cleaned up those account books all day and night, and there were always people around them to wait, Gu Qingwan asked Hongjin and Bi Su to take turns to keep vigil, and they never avoided them.

Hongjin is delicate, Bi Su is forbearant and calm, and they are all very smart and knowledgeable people. Although I have the bottom in my heart, I understand that this is a matter of my life.

Therefore, from the first signs to the present, they have never been tempted, let alone shown the slightest surprise. Even between the two, they never said a word more on this topic.

Zheng Rui sent someone to stare at them for more than half a month, and when he saw that they were indeed as Gu Qingwan said, he didn't care anymore.

The two of them got into the carriage that drove directly to the palace, and Zheng Rui, who had refreshed himself, was less dusty, but he could barely cheer up.

It's just that as soon as he got in the car, he said in a pitiful tone: "I haven't slept for three hours in the past few days of rushing with stars and moons. Now I am so sleepy that I have to go to the palace for a banquet. I'll sleep for a while, and I'll have to deal with a bunch of old foxes later. ”

Without waiting for Gu Qingwan to reply, she lay on her like an octopus, and even found a comfortable position on her neck socket, and lowered her head as soon as she drooped.

Gu Qingwan's face turned red, and she pushed Zheng Rui with some difficulty, but he didn't move a bit. Gu Qingwan had no choice but to lower her voice and said, "Hurry up, there are pillows on the carriage, just for you to lean on for a while." ”

I don't know if I really slept or pretended, but I heard Zheng Rui mutter. As if dissatisfied with Gu Qingwan pushing him away. Unexpectedly, she moved towards Gu Qingwan again, but she hugged her tighter.

Gu Qingwan waited for a long time, but Zheng Rui didn't react at all, so he could only stretch out his only right hand that could still move. Pull out the pillow and put it behind your back. Resigned to his fate, he leaned over. There is support. It's better than stiffening your body.

Although the road into the palace is very flat, the carriage is inevitably bumpy. Gu Qingwan looked down at Zheng Rui, whose brows were furrowed, and she was a little unbearable. put the pillow on his knees, and struggled to hold up Zheng Rui's upper body on the pillow.

Finally completed this without waking up Zheng Rui, Gu Qingwan breathed a long sigh of relief, only put her hands lightly on Zheng Rui's back, and squinted her eyes and pretended to sleep. didn't know that Zheng Rui, who had already fallen asleep at this time, had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zheng Rui was in a hurry to wear the stars and the moon, and Gu Qingwan had not had a good time these days, not only to deal with the temptations of various people in the clan, but also to hide the news of Zheng Rui's absence in the house.

What made her even more anxious was the secret of Zheng Rui's visit this time, and now that there were many people in Beijing, he never sent anyone to reveal his news to Gu Qingwan.

For several days in a row, Gu Qingwan was always awakened at night. Seeing Zheng Rui return safely today, her heart that had been uneasy for a long time finally fell, and she felt that all the problems and troubles before seemed to be less tricky.

Originally, she just wanted to sleep for a while, but she didn't expect to fall asleep in the bumps of the carriage.

"You slept soundly." In a daze, Gu Qingwan heard something laughing in her ear, and the slightly hot breath blew in her ears, and there was a hint of tingling.

She subconsciously tilted her head to dodge, but her lips touched a hint of softness. She heard a gasp in her ears, and then felt her senses be wrapped in softness, which cut her lips and teeth and explored it more freely.

Gu Qingwan gasped and opened her misty eyes, her face was flushed, and her eyes were still filled with water vapor.

Zheng Rui saw that Gu Qingwan was awake, but he didn't have any scruples, and as soon as his body turned over, he picked up Gu Qingwan and sat on his lap. His eyes were like a deep pool, but now they were rolling up turbulent waves, and before Gu Qingwan could come back to his senses, he held up her chin, and his lips eagerly caught her lips.

The lips of the two were together, Gu Qingwan only felt a throbbing from the soles of her feet to the limbs, and she didn't even have the strength to refuse, so she could only let him take what he wanted.

"Prince Bing, Princess Bing, has arrived at Zhengde Gate, and the carriages in the house cannot enter." The voice of the red brocade outside was exceptionally clear, like a basin of cold water on Zheng Rui's head.

Zheng Rui remembered that it was precisely because he was about to enter the palace that he wanted to wake up Gu Qingwan. But Gu Qingwan inadvertently touched his lips, but he involuntarily indulged in it, and even forgot the purpose.

Gu Qingwan also came back to her senses in an instant, and her face was instantly red and could drip blood. She was a little busy and straightened her clothes, stroked her sideburns and said to Zheng Rui: "It's all your fault, my hair bun is messy, it's all your fault!" ”

"Okay, well, it's all my fault." Zheng Rui hurriedly responded, but really looked at Gu Qingwan carefully, "It's really a bit messy." ”

Gu Qingwan touched her head for a while, and said nervously: "Where is the mess, you point to me." ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Zheng Rui's eyes, and he quickly pecked Gu Qingwan on the face, and laughed loudly, "Well, that's fine." ”

After speaking, Gu Qingwan lifted the curtain in a daze, jumped out of the carriage first, and stood aside to help her.

Gu Qingwan endured it, and instantly returned to normal in front of everyone's eyes, only "hummed", and regardless of Zheng Rui's outstretched hand, she got out of the car on Hongjin's shoulder.

Zheng Rui couldn't help laughing, came to Gu Qingwan again, and said aggrievedly: "Qingwan, did I make you angry again?" I apologize to you, don't be angry, okay? ”

Gu Qingwan pursed her lips, but Hongjin glanced at Zheng Rui rather strangely, and immediately turned around as if she couldn't bear to look at it.

The grandmothers sent out of the palace were waiting outside the Zhengde Gate early, and when they saw the carriage of the Rui Wangfu coming, they hurriedly came forward to serve. It's just that the carriage hasn't moved for a long time, and now seeing that Lord Rui said this, he guessed whether the two of them had a conflict.

But seeing that Prince Rui smiled and apologized, those palace people immediately lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at it again, but they all raised their ears high, for fear of missing a word.

Princess Kerui only said "go back and talk about it", which made Prince Rui immediately silenced.

While regretting in the hearts of those palace people, they couldn't help but sigh that this Princess Rui really has the means, and she actually ate Lord Rui to death, and she didn't dare to refute a word.

Gu Qingwan looked at Mama Huang with a knowing look, and couldn't help feeling bitter in her heart, but she still said with a shelf: "Mama Huang has been waiting for a long time, and I bother to ask Mama Huang to lead the way." ”

Mama Huang waved her hand again and again, saying with a smile on her face that she couldn't say the word "please", and at the same time asked people to carry the soft sedan chair that had already been prepared.

Although Mama Huang is the old lady next to the Queen Mother, she is not as important as Liu Yi and the Queen Mother, but she is the palace person who has served the Queen Mother for the longest time. Over the years, the palace maids and grandmothers around Empress Dowager Chen have changed one after another, and only she and Liu Yi have been serving the phoenix.

Gai is because she is the most observant and very knowledgeable about current affairs. Who can be offended and what people cannot be provoked, she knows very well in her heart.

For example, the princess Rui in front of her, now is the most popular time, the queen mother and the eldest princess Huihe are holding her, saying that they will not let her suffer a trace of grievances, and Mama Huang will naturally not touch her moldy head.

Zheng Rui sat on the soft sedan chair in front, Gu Qingwan's soft sedan chair followed the front and back, and the group slowly went to the deep palace. Gu Qingwan chatted with Mama Huang along the way, mostly asking if Empress Dowager Chen was in good health and eating and living well on weekdays.

Mama Huang answered them one by one, and time passed quickly between questions and answers, and in a blink of an eye, she could faintly hear the sound of silk and bamboo.

This palace banquet was still held in Heqing Garden, because Empress Dowager Chen said that this year's Chinese New Year's Eve would only be held for family banquets, so most of the people attending the banquet were from the clan family, and of course, there were also clan daughters who married outside and brought their husbands.

As soon as she got off the sedan chair, Gu Qingwan saw Yun Xin standing aside with a smile, saluted Zheng Rui and Gu Qingwan, and said: "The princess is a little late, this person has almost arrived, and the queen mother and the eldest princess have read it many times in the back." ”

Gu Qingwan also responded with a smile, and only said, "Some things have been delayed, but fortunately, it's not too late." ”

"Lord and princess, please come with the slaves and maids." Yun Xin led the way in front, and pointed to the seat that was under the high platform and said, "The seat of the prince and the princess is there." ”

Gu Qingwan still sat down, and saw that on her left hand side was King Huai and Princess Huai, and on her right hand side was Princess Chengjun, sitting next to Princess Chengjun, Gu Qingwan saw it for the first time.

At the palace banquet in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, she and her concubine Ke Yunyan were designed by Concubine Xian, but Princess Chengjun indirectly helped her, and she was grateful to Princess Chengjun.

King Ke mutinied, and after the succession to the throne, just look at who has risen to prominence and who has fallen into the dust, you can know which people have stood in line before.

But this Chengjun King, who holds real power, has never stood in line from beginning to end.

The grandfather of King Chengjun and Zheng Rui's great-grandfather were the same mother, and Zheng Rui's great-grandfather had promised King Chengjun that the fifth generation would not be demoted. In addition to King Huai in the clan, it is his branch that is closest to Zheng Rui's bloodline.

Moreover, starting from Zheng Rui's great-grandfather, the Chengjun Royal Mansion has been in charge of a heavy army in Gyeonggi for generations, and he is very important in terms of seniority and strength.

In the past hundred years, the imperial power has changed, and only the king of Chengjun in the clan has always been standing, in addition to the fact that the previous kings of Chengjun have quite a few means, but also because they can see their position clearly and have never stood in line.
