Chapter 137: Our Palace!
Seeing Gu Zhixing looking at himself with a teasing expression, Su Mian's intestines were full of regret.
This is good, Bai is worried that not to mention it, but to accompany Gu Zhixing to attend his least favorite banquet, it is simply more than worth the loss.
Gu Zhixing stood in place, looking at her annoyed look, he knew that she must have made a decision because she was so rash just now, and she regretted it.
Su Mian really didn't want to attend Gu Zhao's birthday banquet at all, she rolled her eyes, and she said tentatively: "Since the loss of this fifty percent of the military power does not have much impact, is it okay for me not to go?" When the time comes, it will be said that I am sick and unwell...... What do you think? ”
Every time she had a ghost idea and discussed it with Gu Zhixing, she was like some kind of clever little animal, with a pair of big watery eyes looking at Gu Zhixing intently, cute and unaware.
A dark light slipped under Gu Zhixing's eyes, and he just wanted to say yes, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly changed his mind.
He naturally knew that Su Mian's trouble-feared character was the most reluctant to attend such an occasion, but it was not a day or two since such a disgusting word circulated in the court.
It is naturally easy for him to help Su Mian push away this matter, even if it is Gu Zhao, it is impossible to come directly to the palace to rob people, but the opportunity is rare at the moment, since this is the case, it is better to take advantage of this public occasion to let them all recognize Su Mian's position here, so as not to let someone talk nonsense everywhere without a long eye.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhixing shook his head gently: "Since I have already agreed, I'm afraid it's not easy to shirk." ”
Seeing that Su Mian immediately became a little wilted, Gu Zhixing hurriedly said: "But Ah Mian doesn't have to follow so many rules by my side, just do whatever you want, the imperial dining room in the palace will produce some special dishes every year on Gu Zhao's birthday, Ah Mian should go and taste something fresh, how about it?" ”
Speaking of delicious food, Su Mian was slightly moved.
During the period when she was sick, she didn't have much meat, and after she got better, she didn't dare to eat too much in order to lose weight, and when she heard that there were special dishes, her eyes lit up slightly.
Gu Zhixing seems to be right...... I watched it on TV before, the ancient emperor did have a big banquet when he had a birthday, and when he was in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, his father didn't like to be noisy, and every year's birthday was just a simple meal with the closest princes and princesses......
After thinking for a while, Su Mian had no choice but to nod: "Okay, since you have agreed, you can only go...... By the way, you don't have to stay in the palace at night, right? ”
I don't want to live in the palace! If you stay there, you will definitely have to live in the same room with Gu Zhixing at night and sleep in the same bed!
Seeing through her careful thinking, Gu Zhixing said with a smile: "Naturally, you don't have to live in the palace, I will take you back if Ah Mian wants to come back." ”
"Then I'll be back in the evening!" Su Mian immediately spoke, and added uneasily: "No matter how late it is, I have to come back!" ”
Gu Zhixing agreed with a smile without hesitation: "Okay, no matter how late it is, I'll bring you back." How could he not know what Su Mian was thinking, Su Mian didn't want him to see too close, so he took the initiative to distance the two of them as she wished.
Hearing his promise, Su Mian put it down, and couldn't help but have some expectations for Gu Zhao's birthday banquet ten days later.
Since he was going to attend the birthday banquet, he naturally had to prepare a congratulatory gift, Su Mian didn't know what to send, so Gu Zhixing consciously took all these things on himself, and personally asked people to spend a lot of money to get a fist-sized night pearl from the Western Regions, and he would definitely not lose the face of the palace.
On the night when the Night Pearl was sent back, Su Mian seemed to have discovered a new continent, and circled around it, with a look of surprise in her eyes.
I rub! That's too big, right? I thought this kind of thing was nonsense in TV dramas, but I didn't expect it to really exist?
Gu Zhixing saw that she seemed to like it very much, his eyes couldn't help but be stained with a smile, and he said lightly: "If Ah Mian likes it, he will stay here, and I will find something else to give to Gu Zhao." ”
"No, no, no." As soon as the words fell, Su Mian hurriedly shook his head: "Tomorrow, those ministers don't know what congratulatory gifts have been prepared, in case you can't find a better one than this, wouldn't it be a loss of face for our palace, not to mention that Gu Zhao just received fifty percent of the ......"
As Su Mian spoke, she suddenly felt that Gu Zhixing's gaze on her face was too warm, and she couldn't help but get quieter and quieter the more she spoke, and slowly stopped.
"You...... Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face? She asked, and reached out and touched her face for some unknown reasons, very good, her skin has been well maintained recently.
The benefits in Gu Zhixing's eyes were almost overflowing, and seeing Su Mian looking at him blankly, he opened his mouth and asked, "What did Ah Mian say just now?" ”
"I said that Gu Zhao just received ......"
"It's not this one, it's the last one." Gu Zhixing kindly reminded.
"Last?" Su Mian was even more confused: "The last sentence was...... If we can't find a better one, we will lose our ......."
Realizing where he said something wrong, Su Mian hurriedly closed his mouth firmly, and his cheeks flushed in an instant.
Am I taking the wrong medicine? Or Alzheimer's? Say what "our royal palace?" That's their palace! ”
Su Mian stood in front of the table, her face was red and white because she had said the wrong thing, and she didn't know how to respond for a while.
"I ...... I mean...... It's not good to lose the face of your palace...... Right? She coughed lightly, and repeated what she had just said as if nothing had happened, as if she had begun to be an ostrich again.
As long as I'm calm enough, I can act as if nothing had happened!
Su Mian frantically brainwashed herself in her heart, trying to ignore Gu Zhixing's increasingly hot eyes on the other side.
Knowing that if he said one more word, the person in front of him would probably be annoyed and angry, Gu Zhixing hurriedly accepted it: "Ah Mian is right, then ...... I'll find an identical one for Ah Mian tomorrow, otherwise if there is really nothing to send tomorrow, I'm afraid I will really lose the face of our palace. ”
He deliberately lengthened his voice when he said, "Our palace", and sure enough, he saw the expression on Su Mian's face change instantly.
"I ...... I don't look at it! You take it away, I'm going to rest! Su Mian was really annoyed and began to drive people away.
Gu Zhixing stood up with a smile, asked someone to put away the night pearl, and let Su Mian push her shoulder and push herself out of her room.
"Ah Mian, I have to get up early tomorrow morning and rest early." Gu Zhixing leaned against the door, said to the two doors that had already been closed, and then waited quietly.
"Got it......" After a moment, Su Mian's somewhat reluctant voice finally came from the room.
A heavy smile crossed his eyes, and Gu Zhixing raised his feet and left.
……
Early the next morning, Su Jin didn't call himself with a painting, so he sat up from the bed very consciously.
When Zhihua pushed the door open, Su Mian was already standing on the ground and was about to change clothes.
"Miss Su, you can't wear this today." Zhihua kept a straight face as always, and when he came up, he frowned and took the clothes from Su Mian's hand.
"Huh? What to wear without this? Su Mian looked down at the box she usually used to put clothes, her expression was a little embarrassed, and a hint of foreboding slowly rose in her heart.
"Your clothes are ready, I'll call someone in." Zhihua said as he clapped his hands in the direction of the door.
Then Su Mian saw three or five maidservants walking in with something in their hands, and after a closer look, Su Mian saw that each person was holding some rouge gouache, gold and silver jewelry, and the clothes she was going to wear today.
"This ...... It's all for me? Su Mian looked at those things, and the corners of her mouth twitched without a trace.
These things look like a lot of trouble...... I feel like I have to wear at least a pound or two on my head!
Sure enough, Zhihua didn't give her a chance to resist at all, but directly pressed the person on the chair, and commanded the handmaidens to start dressing up for Su Mian.
Su Mian sat helplessly in place, watching her originally scattered hair being made into a bun that she didn't know how to make, and then closed her eyes and let Zhihua sneak on her face, and finally changed into a long dress embroidered with gold thread.
"Okay, Miss Su has indeed lost a lot of weight recently." After doing all this, Zhihua pushed Su Mian to stand in front of the mirror.
"Right? I also think I've lost a lot of weight lately! "How can a girl not like others to praise her thinness, as soon as this topic was mentioned, Su Mian immediately came to her senses, and then she was slightly stunned when she saw herself in the mirror.
This also ...... Isn't it pretty?
Is that person in the mirror really me?
Thinking of her round appearance a few months ago, Su Mian was almost moved to tears.
Sure enough, people are still thin and good-looking.
Just as he was sighing in his heart, Su Mian heard a sound of footsteps outside the door.
"Ah Mian, are you all packed?" It was Gu Zhixing's voice.
After a slight pause, Su Mian glanced at herself in the mirror, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
I don't know how Gu Zhixing will react when I see this?
I'm sure I'm going to say something nasty again......
Here Su Mian was thinking about it, but seeing that she didn't react, Zhihua had already stepped forward and opened the door, invited Gu Zhixing in, and retreated very consciously.
"Mian?" Gu Zhixing only saw Su Mian's back when he came in, and couldn't help shouting.
Su Mian was like a named elementary school student, and subconsciously responded: "Here!" ”
Then he turned around with a sad face.
Why does it seem that when I meet Gu Zhixing recently, I don't have enough IQ?
was complaining in his heart about his incompetence, and when he saw the clothes on Gu Zhixing's body that were the same color and decoration as himself, Su Mian didn't know what to say.
It's actually a couple's outfit! I should have thought of it when I saw those clothes!
