"Your Highness, then you taste it slowly, I will retire first." Gu Liangsheng leaned down slightly, and said respectfully to Gongsun Xianye.

Just as Gu Liang said that, he picked up the empty tea tray on the front bookcase, and was about to retreat from the side, Gongsun Xianye, who was drinking tea, suddenly called Gu Liang and said, "Wait a minute, Sheng'er." ”

Gu Liangsheng, who was full of joy because he was called by Gongsun Xianye, immediately stood firm and wanted to leave, and then asked Gongsun Xianye softly: "Do you have anything else?" His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you, don't you have to take this teapot or cup away?" Gongsun Xianye asked Gu Liang to express his doubts.

"I won't take it away today, Your Highness, you can enjoy it slowly. When I come back tomorrow to serve your highness flower tea, it will not be too late to take it away, anyway, there are all kinds of teapots and teacups in the kitchen of this castle. Gu Liangsheng responded.

Gu Liangsheng responded, and by the way, revealed to Gongsun Xianye that she would come here tomorrow to serve flower tea.

When Gongsun Xianye heard this, he just nodded as if he should have promised, and did not show joy or disgust.

However, from this day on, Gu Liangsheng really went to Jian Zeyuan every day, and changed his way to serve flower tea for Gongsun Xianye; A variety of fragrant flowers, coupled with a variety of tea, a day without interruption, but also a day is not the same. Over time, this has become an invisible agreement between Gongsun Xianye and Gu Liangsheng.

And with the passage of time, Gongsun Xianye and Gu Liangsheng became more and more familiar, although Gu Liangsheng was still respectful when serving flowers and tea to Gongsun Xianye every day, but after all, it was not like the first day, and the days after the first day.

And when Gu Liangsheng served flower tea to Gongsun Xianye every day, he always stood on the side of Gongsun Xianye's bookcase as on this first day, and served the first brew of flower tea to Gongsun Xianye; And she was not in a hurry to leave after serving the first brew of flower tea, she always habitually stayed for a while and stayed with her grandson Xianye for a while; To be precise, it is to stay by Gongsun Xianye's side for a while. Because whether Gu Liangsheng stays for a while or not is really insignificant to Gongsun Xianye; For Gu Liangsheng herself, it is very important, just because this moment is completely alone time for her and Gongsun Xianye.

Occasionally, when there is leisure, most of them are days when there is less work in the fort, after Gu Liangsheng served the first brew of flower tea for Gongsun Xianye, he would stay quietly from the side until the second brew of flower tea for Gongsun Xianye, and then leave.

And this occasional, and very boring moment, is undoubtedly a dream but extremely rare for Gu Liangsheng, who voluntarily became a maid.

Although it is extremely rare, it can always be obtained, and it is better than staying in the palace of King Qi thousands of miles away and not seeing Gongsun Xianye, even if you can only whisper here, and you can be pampered thousands of miles away. At least that's what Gu Liangsheng thinks, I'm afraid that only Gu Liangsheng will think so in the world and the world! Because she is stupid, she loves to the point of being stupid.

In the fifteenth year of Kunqian, the twenty-fifth and seventy-ninth years of the lunar month.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching, and half a day before this day, in the Fuling City of the Celestial Dynasty, on Jinhong Street, in the backyard of Shuixin Fort, Gu Liangsheng came to Jian Zeyuan as always to serve flower tea for Gongsun Xianye.

After Gu Liangsheng, who was standing on the side of Gongsun Xianye's bookcase as usual, skillfully served the first brew of flower tea to Gongsun Xianye, Gongsun Xianye casually picked up a brocade box placed next to the bookcase in front of him, and handed it to Gu Liangsheng, who was standing respectfully on the side.

Seeing this situation, Gu Liangsheng, who was at a loss for a while, naturally did not immediately reach out to pick up the brocade box handed to her by Gongsun Xianye.

So I only heard Gongsun Xianye, who was holding a brocade box, urging Gu Liang to say: "Give it to you, take it, and open it again by the way." ”

When Gu Liang heard this, he came to his senses, and then respectfully took the small and delicate but extremely delicate brocade box handed to her by Gongsun Xianye with both hands.

I saw Gu Liangsheng, who took the brocade box, obeyed the meaning of Gongsun Xianye, and opened the brocade box with anticipation, and found that the contents of the box were wrapped in a small square brocade pa. So Gu Liangsheng had to firmly hold the brocade box with one hand, and carefully opened the brocade in the box with the other, only to see that the brocade was wrapped in a smooth, warm and crystal clear hibiscus jade bracelet.

Seeing this, Gu Liang subconsciously asked Gongsun Xianye: "Your Highness, this is ......"

"A bracelet, made of hibiscus jade, do you like it?" Gongsun Xianye replied casually and asked Gu Liang in a rhetorical voice.

"I like it." Gu Liangsheng couldn't help but blurt out, and after instantly regaining her senses, she asked Gongsun Xianye, "It's just that I don't know why His Highness suddenly remembered to give me such a valuable gift?" ”

"It's just a bracelet, it's not valuable, and the reason why I gave it to you is to thank you for coming to serve me flower tea recently." Gongsun Xianye replied without thinking.

When Gu Liang heard this, the surprise he had just received from Gongsun Xianye was swept away in an instant. Because this jade bracelet is just a thank you gift from Gongsun Xianye, she is just thinking too much about it inadvertently.

At this moment, Gu Liangsheng couldn't help but think: The prince of the Heavenly Empire is so big! Say "it's just a bracelet, it's not valuable"! For Gu Liangsheng, who was born as the princess of Qi Kingdom, it is indeed not valuable, and it is really not a rare object; But as far as the maid is concerned, this bracelet is not only precious, but also a rare object that has never been heard of, never seen, and even unimagined.

Gu Liangsheng thought of this, and couldn't help blurting out to Gongsun Xianye, who was sitting on the side: "The prince of the Heavenly Dynasty is generous!" casually rewarded a maid who served flower tea, and it turned out to be a unique hibiscus jade bracelet as soon as she made a move. ”

"It's not like no other." Gongsun Xianye corrected Gu Liang and said.

"What?" Gu Liangsheng didn't seem to hear clearly, and asked Gongsun Xianye Dao in disbelief.

"This bracelet was originally a pair, not unparalleled in the world, it was handed over to me by my mother before I left the palace on this trip, that is, the former aunt and grandmother of the Jinhong Shuixin Baili family. The queen mother said that she had specially prepared it for her eldest sister-in-law and her niece, and asked me to pass it on to them on her behalf. One of them, on the first day of entering this Jinhong Water Heart Fort, I personally handed it over to Aunt Xie; And what you are holding in your hand at this moment is another one that is ready to be given to Liushen. And this other one, the reason why it will appear in your hands at this moment, must be that even if I don't say it, you know why! Gongsun Xianye explained in detail to Gu Liangsheng.

"Could it be Miss Liushen, she doesn't accept it?" Gu Liangsheng tried to guess.

"Yes, for the sake of this bracelet, I have personally visited the Avatar several times, wanting to visit my cousin; But my cousin had a strange nature, and after I had eaten several closed doors in a row, I finally agreed to summon me; However, when I took out the hibiscus bracelet and tried to give it to her, she refused the kindness of me and my mother without any reason, and immediately invited me out of the Avatar House. And when I mentioned this matter to Ze Qi by chance, Ze Qi said to me with a smile after hearing it, inviting me out of the Illusion House is a special treatment for me by her sister. Gongsun Xianye explained the facts to Gu Liangsheng.

"Your Highness, although this hibiscus jade bracelet is not unique in the world, after all, it is also your mother's intention for her relatives. Even if Miss Liushen doesn't accept it, then you can store it on your behalf, and you can't just give it away, just use it to reward me with a maid. Gu Liang said insincerely to Gongsun Xianye.

"Sheng'er, how can you think so and say that? Shall I give a reward of my mother's heart? The reason why I give you this hibiscus jade bracelet is that I really want to thank you for your tireless insistence on serving me sweet flower tea. Just as your mind is in this flower tea, my mind is also on this jade bracelet, but your flower tea is brewed for me by yourself, and my jade bracelet is my flower offering to the Buddha. Gongsun Xianye explained to Gu Liangsheng.

"What a 'borrowing flowers to offer Buddha'! Your Royal Highness the Prince, you must know that this is not a casual flower, this is a valuable jade! And I'm not a noble Buddha, I'm just an ordinary person who is happy to be ordinary, so I can't stand your Highness's 'borrowing flowers and offering Buddhas'. Gu Liangsheng said, and then rearranged the brocade box opened in his hand, and then put it back on the bookcase in front of Gongsun Xianye with the box and bracelet.

And the reason why Gu Liangsheng resolutely rejected Gongsun Xianye's heartfelt gift was for three reasons:

One is because this hibiscus jade bracelet is something that has been pushed out of the door for hundreds of miles, although Gu Liangsheng, who was born as the princess of Qi Kingdom, is not pampered, but she always has a pride in her bones that cannot be underestimated.

Of course, this is not the main reason why Gu Liangsheng rejected the jade bracelet. Because Gu Liangsheng also knows that Baili Liushen is weird, and knows that the reason why Baili Liushen is not accepted must have nothing to do with the gift itself, and it must have nothing to do with the person who gave it; And Baili Liushen is the cousin of Gongsun Xianye, who is connected by blood, and is a relative who is like a fake, not other young women who are threatening to Gu Liangsheng; Therefore, the things that are rejected by the hundreds of miles are not the same nature at all as the things that others don't want; So I can't talk about what others don't want, and she doesn't want Gu Liangsheng either.

And because this jade bracelet was not specially prepared by Gongsun Xianye for her voice, as Gongsun Xianye himself said, he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. Although whether it is prepared by hand or borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, the meaning to be conveyed is roughly the same.
