When passing by the lotus pond, Gu Li suddenly stopped.

Pointing to the crystal clear water, he said lightly: "Princess, otherwise, you can wash it there, right?" ”

Mu Qianxia's thoughts were still in a mess, and now he suddenly said this, and he didn't react for a while, "What are you washing?"

"Blood on your hands." Gu Li patiently explained.

Mu Qianxia reacted at this time, the blood stains on her hands had not been wiped clean before, she frowned, and couldn't help but say, "Do you think it's appropriate?"

Her eyebrows were annoyed and slightly displeased, but the anger she had had already dissipated.

She wasn't angry anymore.

Gu Li hooked his lips and said in a low voice: "With me pulling you, you won't fall." This is not far from Fengyang Palace, if it is not possible, the princess can go to the queen to wash. ”

Hehe.

The Chen family was defeated, and the queen was afraid that most of the account was counted on her, plus she had just bullied Chen Chen and slapped the Chen family in the face. Although there was no one around just now, she believed that the queen must have known about this matter, and it was impossible for a woman with no skills to stay in the back position for so long.

So, of course, she can't go to the queen, otherwise what's the difference between sending it to the door to find a fight?

Mu Qianxia pursed her lips, walked to the lotus pond, bent over, and squatted there to wash her hands.

Gu Li stood behind her and carried her back collar like a chick to prevent her from accidentally falling, but suddenly......

Gu Li pushed her forward!

Mu Qianxia was washing her hands defenselessly at the moment, and was suddenly pushed by him like this......

"Ah......h

Mu Qianxia let out a short scream, and was almost about to throw herself into the river!

Fortunately, Gu Li grabbed her again at the critical moment and brought her back again.

Mu Qianxia took two breaths in shock, closed his eyes, calmed his beating heart, and turned back suddenly, "Gu Li!" ”

She looked at him in disbelief, "What were you doing?" ”

Gu Li's expression was calm, "Did I do something?" ”

Mu Qianxia, "......"

She knew at a glance that Gu Li must have done it on purpose, but she couldn't even lose her temper with a straight face, and laughed angrily, "What an old person, you are not naïve!" ”

Deliberately scaring her? She didn't play this kind of trick when she was three years old before, okay? He is now a person of dozens of years, whether he has no childhood or what, he has only made up for it now! The point is, make up for her too! It's just too much.

Gu Li lowered his head and tidied up Mu Qianxia's collar, lowered his eyebrows, and said in a gentle voice: "Princess, don't be afraid, I won't throw you down." ”

Mu Qianxia sneered, "Then do I still want to thank you?" ”

"It doesn't have to be."

Mu Qianxia, "......"

Scold.

She squinted at Gu Li's calm appearance, suddenly turned around, bent over, held a scoop of water, and then spilled it on his handsome face.

Another unprepared action!

probably didn't expect Mu Qianxia to "retaliate" against him like this, Gu Li just stood in place and was splashed all over her face.

Qing Shui dripped from his well-defined handsome face, and Mu Qianxia smiled slightly, "Hehehehe." ”

She raised her eyebrows and looked at him defiantly, "The cold water in winter, there is wood and so refreshing?" Do you like it more than that?"

Gu Li didn't seem to be angry, and kept looking at her with a smile on his face. Although his face was full of water at the moment, he did not feel the slightest embarrassment, but looked even more sexy.

Mu Qianxia was stared at by Gu Li, and goosebumps rose all over, although he was still smiling like just now, but she was inexplicably weak, and even a little ...... Afraid. She turned her face away uncomfortably and coughed, "That...... That's it, the matter between us is written off! This princess doesn't blame you for your childish behavior of suddenly pushing me just now, let's get out of the palace! ”

After saying that, he immediately turned around to leave.

But the wrist snapped and was grabbed. Gu Li suddenly pulled her back, her body slammed straight into his chest, and Gu Li's dark eyes were close at hand, looking at his thin lips and lightly opened, "Princess, run away after doing things, how can there be such a simple thing in the world?"

Mu Qianxia immediately asked defensively: "What do you want to do?" This is the palace, what do you dare to do to this princess?"

"Princess, you should know me, if I want to do something, no matter where I am or in front of whomever I want, I have a way to do it. There's nothing I can't do as long as I want to. Gu Li lowered his head and whispered in Mu Qianxia's ear.

His voice was low and soft, making people feel warm as if they were in the sun, but Mu Qianxia only felt tired and cold, and his body couldn't help but shiver.

The corners of Mu Qianxia's mouth hooked, and he pulled out a stiff arc, "Hehe, this princess just made a joke, I'll help you wipe it off immediately." ”

After speaking, he immediately took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and carefully wiped the water on Gu Li's face.

When the princess treats her like this, I'm afraid she will be the only one in the past. Why is her life so miserable!

"By the way, why did you enter the palace today?"

"The queen has something to look for me."

"Oh." Mu Qianxia wisely did not continue to ask. She already knew from Gu Li's attitude that even if she continued to ask, he wouldn't say anything.

"Gu Li, if it weren't for Chen Chen, why would you ...... Do you like to wear moon white?"

Gu Li's pupils constricted......

Mu Qianxia didn't hear his answer for a while.

It's just that she doesn't have time to think about it now, so she took advantage of this effort to quickly wipe the water stains on his face.

For a long time -

Gu Li's expression did not change, and he said lightly: "It's just a habit." ”

Mu Qianxia frowned slightly, "How can you have such a strange habit?" ”

Isn't it strange?

Gu Li looked at the delicate and moving woman in front of him, his Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes darkened several degrees.

[Ah Li, sure enough, it is still moon white that is most suitable for you. 】

In fact, it's just a color, and just wearing it has become a habit. As for some memories that are too old, they have long been buried deep in the corners, and they are already full of dust from the years. If someone hadn't brought it up unintentionally, he wouldn't even think about it again. But once I think about it......

Mu Qianxia closed her eyes, a trace of coldness quickly flashed under her eyes, and said lightly: "Princess, let's go home." ”

Mu Qianxia seemed to sense his displeasure, frowned, and her voice was soft, "Okay." ”

Gu Li rubbed her hair, there was a bit of thickness and complexity in her eyes, and the coldness faded into a faint softness that even he didn't notice.

…………

In Fengyang Palace, the queen's face was very bad.

Chen Chen came to see her just now, asking her to rescue Chen Jing and save the Chen family. However, they already knew each other that they couldn't be saved.

The Chen family is dying.

As her mother's family, as the strongest relative of ***, if she is really powerless, she will definitely come to the rescue.

The fall of the Chen family today will inevitably deal a great blow to the power of the crown prince, and it will also make several other princes even more eyeing it!

But what could she do? She has lived in the harem for a long time, and she doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, although the prince often talks about her, but she is a woman in the deep palace, how much can she have her own opinion on the situation in the court?

If she blindly pleads, not only will it not help her brother, but it may also make the emperor more dissatisfied and disappointed with her and the prince, and in the end, the gains outweigh the losses.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and held the teacup in her hand tightly.

…………

On the way home, Gu Li and Mu Qianxia walked and strolled. Originally, Gu Li planned to take the carriage back to the house, but Mu Qianxia thought the carriage was too stuffy and wanted him to accompany her to go back. Gu Li thought about it, he didn't have anything to do when he went back anyway, so he readily agreed, so he asked the coachman to go back first, and the princess's mansion was not very far from the palace.

Walking and walking, Mu Qianxia suddenly stopped and pulled his sleeve, "Wait!" ”

Gu Li looked at her sideways.

She bit her lip suddenly, "Gu Li, can I ask you a question?" ”

Gu Li hummed lightly and smiled slightly, "Yes." I just don't know what's wrong with the princess? If I can answer it, I will know everything. ”

"Eh, it's not that complicated, it's just...... Just a small issue, a small ...... Very small question. ”

"Oh?" Gu Li raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

"Actually, I think you sometimes treat me ...... That's good for me, huh? ”

"Okay."

"......" Mu Qianxia directly ignored Gu Li's sometimes angry three sentences, and continued to ask, "Then why are you so good to me?"

Gu Li's eyes darkened slightly, and he said with a smile: "Princess, this seems to be the second question, right?"

Mu Qianxia, "........."

She grimaced, "Why, can't the second question be answered?" ”

Gu Li narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "I was thanks to the princess at the time, if it wasn't for the princess to come to the rescue, I'm afraid I wouldn't have my life standing here talking and laughing with the princess now." What's more, I'm still living in the Princess's Mansion for the time being, and I'm under the protection of the Princess's Mansion, which is just what I should do. ”

Mu Qianxia snorted lightly and said unhappily: "Then I can understand that we are getting along well now?" ”

Gu Li smiled slightly and said, "You can think so."

Mu Qianxia didn't want to say any more nonsense, so she went straight to the point, with a bit of inadvertent temptation in her tone, "Gu Li, what do you have to ...... Favorite ...... Objects or people? ”

Gu Li smiled, "What, because I'm okay with the princess, do you plan to buy the princess I like?" ”

Mu Qianxia was quiet and asked without answering, "Then what do you like?" ”

Mu Qianxia's eyes stared at him for a moment, for fear of missing any minor changes in his face, but Gu Li's handsome face always maintained the same gentle and calm as always, and his thin lips lightly spit out two words, "No." ”

Mu Qianxia's heart was slightly stalked, and there were bursts of sourness and sudden gushing out.

She bit her lip and asked again in a different way, "There really isn't anything you like?" Isn't there anything or people?"

"Nope."

It's still two words of low and indifference, without thinking or hesitating.

The anticipation in Mu Qianxia's eyes gradually dimmed, and the sourness in her heart became stronger. She nodded a little disappointed, "Oh......"

That was certainly not the answer she was looking for.

She liked him, and at first she didn't know it, but after she noticed it, she began to try her best to hide her thoughts. She had never seen him clearly, so it was impossible for her to find out what he was thinking. In fact, she didn't want to ask him so soon, she thought that emotional matters could be cultivated slowly, anyway, she had time. But today she was stimulated by the marriage, although she was ready for the marriage, but seeing Gu Li's kindness to her just now, and thinking of the imperial brother's words, various factors prompted her to open her mouth impulsively, making her want to make a final attempt. She has never been a person who succumbs to fate, even if Gu Li has half a hesitation or expression, she will work hard for it. Even if their identities are very different, she will do everything possible to ask the imperial brother for their consent and give them a marriage......

Pity......

Mu Qianxia sighed imperceptibly.

Now, now that you have the answer and the decision in your heart, you don't have to be obsessed with it.

She has always been open-minded, and since she is destined not to get it, it is better to let it go sooner......
