Chapter 61: The Double-edged Sword
"Alas" Xi Duyun sighed, sat up impatiently and shouted, "Five princes! Five Princes! Is he so idle as a prince? Hang out in other people's homes all day long. β
Xi Duyun's words did not reach the ears of the five princes, but they first stunned Cuiyun.
There are many people in the world who abuse the royal family, and the one who insults the royal family as loudly as Xi Duyun is the first one Cuiyun has seen in many years.
After scolding, Xi Duyun crossed his waist and rested for a while, as if it had taken a lot of effort, until Cuiyun reminded Gu Jianglin again that he was still waiting in the guest room, Xi Duyun passed angrily, and kept cursing and scolding on the way over.
For example, Qi Lichen should be absent when he is not there, dangling in front of your eyes when no one is around, and when someone comes to see him, there is no one in sight. He scolded Gu Jianglin for having nothing to do when he was full, and he didn't do anything serious and went to other people's mansions.
"Do you say that the fifth prince has taken a fancy to your master? I have to see each other every now and then, and trysts are not as diligent as him. β
The one that Xi Duyun complained about was foaming at the mouth, and Cuiyun was worried that she was scolding and scolding to spit water, silently widening the distance between her and Xi Duiyun. In this way, Xi Duyun scolded all the way to the moon cave door outside the guest room before accepting it.
Cuiyun wiped her forehead only to find that she was in a cold sweat, and sighed: "The girl is really witty." β
Scolding people without breathing, without repeating, scolding all the way, even if you quarrel with a woman in the market, you don't necessarily lose.
Xi Duyun threw the headband hanging on his shoulder behind his head, and said proudly, "What is this, I haven't lost if I play tricks." β
Cuiyun's feet slipped and almost fell, but fortunately, she stood still holding on to the moon cave door on the side, she wasn't praising Xi Duyun.
Qi Lichen likes orchids, more or less planted in each yard, and there are also two pots in the guest room, when Xi Duyun arrived, Gu Jianglin sat at the table, staring at the orchid potted plants on the coffee table without blinking, and the strange picture seemed as if he was talking to the orchid.
"The folk girl has seen His Highness." Before coming, Xi Duyun specially asked Cuiyun about the number of salutes, and this time the salute was very angry. There are even some ...... He was proud, as if he wanted someone to praise him.
Gu Jianglin turned his head to look at her, stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Miss Xi's salute is more thoughtful than last time, this is not the capital, nor is it the palace, so let's be casual in private." β
In fact, as long as you are careful, you can find that Gu Jianglin has never called himself the prince in front of people, he always calls himself me.
Xi Duyun picked no, straightened up and sat down opposite Gu Jianglin, the flowers on the table had already bloomed for a round, and now there was only a pot of green leaves, although the orchid was one of the four gentlemen in the flowers, Xi Duyun could not appreciate the spiritual luck of the orchid.
"Does Your Highness have nothing to do on weekdays? Why do you often visit the Qi Mansion, as far as I know, His Royal Highness and Gongzi have not known each other for a long time. β
In front of the powerful who could kill him with a single sentence, Xi Duyun tried his best to speak tactfully. Strictly speaking, the number of meetings between Gu Jianglin and Qi Lichen can be counted on one hand, but when I say this, it means that Gu Jianglin has bad intentions.
Xi Duyun didn't directly say what she wanted to say, but the meaning in her words was not subtle at all.
Gu Jianglin didn't blame her for trespassing, he looked at the orchid on the table, and said with a slight feeling: "I am not familiar with the place of life when I first came here, and I don't have any friends, and I am the same age as the son of Qi, so I can't help but feel close." β
Xi Duyun looked at the man sitting opposite him with his spare eyes, Gu Jianglin's face was soft, gentle and gentle, it was not too much to describe it as a beauty, Xi Duiyun sighed in his heart, he shouldn't really like Qi Lichen, right?
"Mr. Xu is not His Royal Highness's disciple? I can see that he treats His Highness sincerely, His Highness can talk to him more, and the people around him still have to take the initiative to get close, and be careful not to hate His Highness in his heart. β
Speaking of Xu Buzhi's character, Xi Duyun remembered the way his eyes lit up when he ate, Xu didn't know how gentle he was, Gu Jianglin was also gentle, but Gu Jianglin's gentleness was a state of the whole person, and Xu didn't know it was just an expression.
Xi Duyun thought it was strange before, Xu Ming's temperament, it stands to reason that he should be a paralyzed face.
It seems that Xu Zhizhi has a smiling face on his face, he has been with Gu Jianglin for a long time, and over time, he has been Gu Jianglin.
"I don't know that in addition to eating, he only loves to read, but whenever he has time, he never leaves his books, and he never jokes with me, most of the conversations are about business, this is his personality, and I don't like to disturb him when he is doing business."
There was a faint smile in Gu Jianglin's eyes, the two of them were cold and hot, and they could just complement each other when they got along.
"I don't want to, I still haven't been able to see Qi Gongzi. Fortunately, the illness began to heal, and I wanted to be able to get out of bed and walk around soon. β
The orchid on the table seemed to respond to Gu Jianglin's words, and a gust of wind blew in through the bead curtain, and the leaves trembled.
Xi Duyun smiled secretly, Gu Jianglin didn't know, Qi Lichen could not only get out of bed and walk around, but also jump around. It's so good, I don't know where I ran in the morning, so she didn't have time to arrange someone to send the frozen pears to the Sugar Heart Pavilion, it was all money!
Xi Duyun's mind flashed what Qi Lichen had said in the room, Qi Lichen hated the current emperor, I don't know what attitude he has towards Gu Jianglin, Qi Lichen has something to hide, Gu Jianglin is not.
Xi Duyun put his hands on the table, stared at Gu Jianglin for a long time and asked, "What does Your Highness think of Lichen?" β
The eavesdropping incident became a knot in Xi Duyun's heart, and if this matter was not resolved, it would be in Xi Duyun's heart for a day.
It was like a dark cloud shrouded in Xi Duyun's heart, and when she saw the moon, she had to think about it all the time, and she couldn't live in peace.
"Miss Xi and Qi Gongzi are fiancΓ©es, they have been together for a long time, how can you understand him better than me, an outsider, since the girl asked so, she must have some doubts in her heart, at this time, you need your own judgment more than other people's answers."
In fact, Xi Duyun was just a depressed complaint, Qi Lichen was Cuiyun's master, and saying Qi Lichen's matter in front of them was simply a disguise to tell Qi Lichen what he wanted to say.
"Your Highness's answer is really unexpected." Xi Duyun thought that Gu Jianglin would casually say a few innocuous words out of politeness, and he didn't want him to seriously consider Xi Duyun's question and give suggestions.
"Don't tell Your Highness that I can't be judged. Lichen and I have known each other for longer than His Royal Highness, but the marriage between the two of us was decided by our parents, and he agreed at the beginning just to repay his kindness. β
There is a breeze today, but it is not cold, and the bead curtains in the room jingle loudly, as if it is very lively, but if you are in a bad mood, it sounds a little noisy and annoying.
Cuiyun was waiting outside the door, Xi Duyun poured herself a cup of tea and drank it all, she was so good that even Gu Jianglin, who was well-cultivated, had a trace of unnatural expression on his face.
"Later, the two of them have been together for a long time, and they have also shown their hearts, even if this marriage is what you and I want, but I still know very little about things related to him, and I am not sure if I really understand what he really looks like."
All Qi Lichen's words and deeds in Xi Duiyun were completely subverted when Xi Duiyun saw his hideous face through the crack in the window outside the room, and all she knew was what Qi Lichen wanted her to know.
"It's not easy for outsiders to say much about the relationship between the two. But I have a word, I hope the girl will listen to a thing or two, the past that he does not want you to know, may be accompanied by great pain, before he says it, are you ready to bear it with him? β
Gu Jianglin's gaze moved to the jade bracelet in Xi Duyun's hand, and his eyes gently touched the leaves of the orchid.
