Chapter 53: I Can't Hold It Back

After returning to King Ning's Mansion and bypassing the rockery, I saw two people sitting on the other side of the pavilion, and Hexiang followed behind Gu Jinli and said in a low voice: "Miss, look, it seems to be Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yu over there." ”

Gu Jinli raised her eyes and saw two women sitting next to the stone table, one wearing a pomegranate red dress and a flower cloud satin skirt, and the other wearing a blue pleated Ruyi moon skirt, constituting a beautiful scenery.

It has been nearly twenty days since she married into the palace, and except for a few times of unhappiness with Mrs. Yu before, she usually has no contact with these two.

Where there are women, there is right and wrong, so she thinks it is better to stay in her own yard.

It's just that on the second day of Yin Suwan's marriage, if Mrs. Liu hadn't sacrificed herself for Yin Suwan to block the bowl of hot porridge at the first time, Qi Hao would have cut off her hands in a fit of anger at that time......

I thought about finding an opportunity to go to Qiuju Courtyard with gifts, but later I temporarily forgot about dancing for the Queen Mother.

Although it was Mrs. Yu who stumbled behind her back, the porridge cup flew out of her hand, and the porridge was also splashed on Mrs. Liu, so she owed Mrs. Liu.

Since she met today, she should thank Mrs. Liu in person.

Thinking like this, Gu Jinli walked in the direction of the pavilion.

"Sister, the prince hasn't entered my yard for half a month, tell me, is it possible that the princess has entered the door, and we people have become decorations?" Pulling a grape on the plate, Mrs. Yu looked resentful, and her tone was full of sourness.

Although Qi Hao is not a person who covets beauty, as he said to Gu Jinli in the cave before, he is a normal man. There are also seven emotions and six desires.

What is rare is that he is only three times a month, first, he has strong self-control, and secondly, Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Liu are not the people in his heart, and this kind of love under the bed is better to share with his beloved.

However, men don't seem to like women who are too restrained and reserved in bed, and Mrs. Liu served by the Queen Mother's side in her early years, and her character is not to be said, but she has never been as unrestrained and enthusiastic as Mrs. Yu, and she is too dull to do, so Qi Hao has stayed in Yulu Courtyard more often over the years.

It stands to reason that Mrs. Liu should be more uncomfortable, but in the face of Mrs. Yu's jealousy and injustice, she just comforted in a low voice: "It's not up to us to control where the prince wants to go." Sister, it's better for you to calm down. ”

"Hmph, the prince only goes to my sister's yard once in three or five months, sister, you have long been used to it, and your mentality is naturally better than that of your sister." Madame Jade rolled her eyes and spit out the grape skin in her mouth with a "poof".

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yu have known each other for five or six years now, even though each other's tempers have long been figured out, but when they hear Mrs. Yu's merciless cynicism, their faces still stiffened.

Lowering her eyes, she stopped talking.

Seeing that Mrs. Liu's expression was lonely, Mrs. Yu also knew that she had just spoken a little too much. Then he patted her hand, "Sister, don't be uncomfortable, I heard that the princess is actually ......."

Lowering her voice, she whispered in Mrs. Liu's ear, and then covered her mouth and grinned: "It's been six or seven days since the princess got married, and the princess hasn't had sex with her yet, maybe, the princess is very concerned about the princess's legs!" How can it be said that men and women are in love, they can't use the same posture, right? The princess's legs...... Tsk, I can't toss new tricks! ”

As she spoke, the sarcasm in her eyes increased.

Mrs. Liu is even more dull. also understood the meaning of Mrs. Yu's words, her face flushed, and she pushed Mrs. Yu's arm: "You are not ashamed, you can't say this again in the future!" If you let the prince and princess know, you will have to be punished! ”

Madame Yu disagreed, pursed her lips, she picked up two more grapes, and sneered: "If the prince doesn't touch the princess, it is absolutely impossible to go to the east wing to find that woman, and when he can't hold it back, he has to stay in my Yulu Courtyard!" ”

Looking at Mrs. Yu's smug face, Mrs. Liu was a little envious, and just wanted to say something, only to see that Gu Jinli was already standing four or five steps away.

Putting down the teacup, she stood up and saluted respectfully: "Concubine Gu." ”

Mrs. Yu wiped the grape juice on her hands, still sitting still, and said in a strange manner: "Ouch, who should I be, it turned out to be Concubine Gu who shined at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet!" ”

"What's the matter, our concubine Gu just came back from outside?"

"Mrs. Liu doesn't have to be polite." Gu Jinli didn't want to take care of Mrs. Yu, so she didn't even bother to give her a look.

Motioning to Mrs. Liu to get up, she said sincerely: "Mrs. Liu's arm was burned by hot porridge that day, I don't know if it is better now?" ”

Mrs. Liu didn't expect Gu Jinli to come over to ask about her injuries, and hurriedly said, "Concubine Lao Gu is worried, and the concubine's injuries have been healed." ”

"Heh, Concubine Gu is really a cat crying mouse fake mercy!" Mrs. Yu didn't hide that she was neglected, she shook her handkerchief, looked Gu Jinli up and down with a pair of apricot eyes, and said with a gun and a stick: "I haven't forgotten, if it weren't for Concubine Gu's clumsy hands and feet and didn't hold it steady, Sister Liu would not have been injured on behalf of the princess!" ”

"After many days, you remembered Sister Liu's injury? Will it be a little too late? ”

Gu Jin's eyes fell lightly on Madam Yu, and she said unhurriedly: "Madam Yu, whether it is the fault of the concubine or someone deliberately did something, you must know better than anyone else." ”

"This side concubine will not pursue you, I just hope that you will be good and do your own thing, and don't have nothing to do! If you don't let it go, then the concubine doesn't mind making a big fuss to the prince! ”

When Mrs. Yu heard this, she stood up and said angrily, "What do you mean? Feet grow on you, dare I instructed you to take porridge to splash the princess? ”

"Sister." Mrs. Liu thought that everyone would bow their heads and not look up in the future, so she tugged at her arm and motioned for her to speak less.

However, Mrs. Yu was pulled by Mrs. Liu, and she was more like a rooster with a crown on her head, "If you have the ability, you can go to the prince to make trouble, and see who can't eat and walk around in the end!" ”

"If Mrs. Liu doesn't bother, this concubine will prepare a heavy gift another day and go to Qiu Ju Courtyard to thank you in person." Gu Jinli didn't want to fight anymore, smiled at Mrs. Liu, and then turned to leave.

Regardless of whether Mrs. Liu's sacrifice of her life to block the porridge was really out of kindness, or whether it was to gain Yin Suwan's favor and Qi Hao's other treatment, in this deep courtyard, it is better to have one more friend than to set up an enemy.

Even if this is just a person who is false and wronged with himself on the surface.

She believed that Mrs. Liu was not stupid. I don't even understand this truth.

"Hey, I ......" Mrs. Yu saw Gu Jinli leave without looking back, as weak as a punch on cotton, very crazy, "She ...... Who let her go! ”

Mrs. Liu shook her head helplessly, pulled Mrs. Yu to sit down, and said earnestly: "Sister, your temper really has to change!" She is the prince's side concubine, we are just little ladies, there is a difference between dignity and inferiority! ”

Hearing the words "respect and inferiority", the anger in Mrs. Yu's heart was instantly aroused, and she threw the grapes on the table on the ground, "This little cheap hoof, I am inseparable from her!" ”

Not far from the pavilion, Gu Jinli met Qi Hao and the Eighth Prince who had just come down from the garden stone bridge.

With a flash of light, she wanted to turn around and walk to the bluestone path on the side, but she was still spotted by Qi Hao.

"Stop!"

There was a loud shout behind him, which made Gu Jinli stop.

"When you see this king and Xiaoba, why do you want to hide?" Walking up to Gu Jinli with his hands behind his back, Qi Hao said quietly: "Gu Jinxiu, didn't you do something bad and have a weak heart?" ”

After returning from the cave, he hadn't seen this woman for two days, and seeing her dress today, he was very attentive, and she dared to wander around this palace, which was really rare.

Gu Jinli sighed secretly in her heart, leaned over slightly, and her voice was not big or small, "The concubine has seen the prince and the eighth prince." ”

The Eighth Prince glanced at Qi Hao, who had a cold face, and nodded.

remembered that at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Gu Chengen said that she jumped into the pool with an injury to save people, and she was assassinated that night, so she couldn't help but ask: "Concubine Gu's body has recovered?" ”

"Huh?" Gu Jinli was stunned and a little puzzled.

After thinking about it, the queen sent someone to send ginseng yesterday, and the eight princes must have also known about her assassination, so they said: "Thank you for your concern, the concubine is fine." ”

Qi Hao glanced at the Eighth Prince, and snorted coldly: "You are familiar with yourself, anyone can care about it!" ”

After the words fell, he flicked his sleeves and strode in the direction of Yixin Courtyard.

"Uh, fourth brother......" The eighth prince blinked his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "People have saved me, so I should care about it." ”

smiled awkwardly at Gu Jinli, he hurriedly chased after Qi Hao, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, are you angry?" ”

Qi Hao didn't make a sound, slapped off the eighth prince's hand and continued to walk.

Gu Jinli looked at the ingenious appearance of the eighth prince, and her eyes moved slightly.

Seeing that the eighth prince is so cordial to Qi Hao, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is very good.

The little boy who thanked her solemnly under the moonlight came to mind again, Gu Jinli retracted her gaze, and also raised her feet and walked towards the east wing.

People are alive with masks, and there are several faces. You may not even know it.

Whether it is innocence and kindness or youth and old age, it is just a protective color......

Otherwise, in a place like the palace that eats people and does not spit out bones, how can a nine-year-old child gain a foothold?

Although he is the adopted son of the queen, the blood flowing in his body is different after all, if you want to be sincere, how many points can the queen give him?

Sighing again, she suddenly felt that people were so tired of living!

In the courtyard, colorful parrots jumped up and down on Yin Suxi's shoulders, poking her earrings with their beaks from time to time.

"Sister, Babao is going to be spoiled by you!" Holding the two legs of the parrot upside down, Yin Suxi pouted and threatened: "If you dare to be presumptuous, be careful that I throw you into the kitchen to stew!" ”

"Xi'er is bad, Xi'er is bad!" Babao flapped his wings and shouted twice.

"Wanwan save me, Wanwan save me!" After breaking free, Babao flew to the table next to Yin Suwan's hand and rubbed her red-haired head on her arm like a coquette.

Yin Suwan touched Babao's head, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Xi'er, don't say it, this little thing is really smart, I taught it idioms last day, and it will be in less than an afternoon!" ”

As if in response to Yin Suwan's words, Babao immediately straightened his head and said sharply: "Blessing is like the East China Sea, and Shoubi Nanshan!" ”

"Oops, I've been training Babao for so long, and it's never spoken more than four words! My sister is amazing! Yin Suxi listened and clapped his hands excitedly at Babao, "Come on, say it again!" ”

Babao tilted his head and didn't give face.

Yin Suwan broke a small piece of walnut crisp on the plate and put it at the feet of Babao, the curvature of the corners of her lips was reduced a little, and she sighed: "I can't do it with my legs, if it weren't for Babao as a companion, I'm afraid I'm really going to get sick." ”

The maid on the side listened to it and said to Yin Suxi: "Second Miss, the slave maid hasn't seen Miss so happy for a long time, since you are here, stay and stay for a few more days to accompany Miss!" ”

Yin Suxi squatted down, carefully caressed Yin Suwan's leg with her hand, and asked with red eyes, "Is my sister's leg still unconscious?" ”

Yin Suwan shook her head and reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth, "Maybe this is fate." Xi'er, don't worry. ”

Yin Suxi held Yin Suwan's hand tightly, and said in a choked voice: "Sister, you are so good, God will definitely make you better." ”

Yin Suwan wiped her tears for Yin Suxi, "Silly girl." ”

Sitting down again, Yin Suxi asked again: "By the way, sister, are those concubines in the house still safe?" Did you ever bully you? ”

"They ......" didn't wait for Yin Suwan to speak, only to hear Shuang'er preemptively say: "Second Miss, the two ladies in the side courtyard are fine, but the most annoying thing is that Concubine Gu!" ”

"If she hadn't offended someone and caused trouble, the prince wouldn't have fallen off the cliff with her the night before! Don't you know, Miss, she knows that the prince is distressed to death after he is injured! ”

"Mouthy." Yin Suwan glared at her eyes unhappily, and said with a calm face: "The robe made for the prince has not yet been finished, you step back and nail the button on!" ”

"Yes, miss." Shuang'er saw that Yin Suwan's face was not good, so she hurriedly retreated.

"Sister, I also heard from my father and mother about the assassination of Gu Jinxiu and my brother-in-law." Yin Suxi hesitated for a while, but still whispered: "They ...... Really spent the night in the cave? ”

Following Babao Mao's hand tightly, Yin Suwan's slender nails unconsciously exerted a few points, causing Babao to feel a pain, and she screamed and fluttered her wings and flew out of the window.

Yin Suxi noticed Yin Suwan's gaffe, and she hurriedly said: "Sister, although Gu Jinxiu is not a good person, I believe that brother-in-law will not be able to do anything sorry for you!" After all, you've been ...... since you were a child."

Halfway through her words, she caught a glimpse of Qi Hao and the figures of the Eighth Prince arriving at the door, so she stopped her mouth in time.

"As soon as I arrived in the yard, I saw Babao as if someone had plucked his hair, who provoked it?" Qi Hao's voice was full of laughter, low and deep like a feather, sweeping and itching people's hearts.

When he entered the house, he found that there was another person in the room, and he was stunned, and then he removed the smile from his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "It turns out that Xi'er is also here!" ”

Yin Suxi got up and saluted, and smiled sweetly: "Brother-in-law, the eighth prince." ”

"Sister Suxi, I've said it many times, you are the same as the fourth brother and Sister Wan, just call me Xiaoba." The eighth prince took out a piece of handkerchief from the placket of his clothes, handed it over and said, "Sister Wan, I heard Aunt Qiu Cicada say that Xiaoye Rosewood has the effect of calming the nerves, so I asked her to string the beads for you to make a bracelet." ”

Yin Suwan opened the handkerchief, and sure enough, she saw a delicately made red sandalwood bracelet lying inside. Seeing goodbye to the eighth prince's warm eyes, revealing sincere concern, he said movingly: "Thank you, Xiaoba, Sister Wan will tell Shuang'er to make crystal cakes for you in a while." ”

"Hehe" laughed twice, and then the eighth prince told Yin Suwan about the interesting things in the palace recently, which made her and Yin Suxi laugh.

The sound of laughter wafted over the courtyard, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

In the east wing, Gu Jinli handed the purple jade bracelet under the pillow to Hexiang, "Put it with my jade pendant and Xiao." ”

After the eldest lady returned the jade pendant and jade Xiao to her, she locked them in the cabinet, and since this bracelet was used to threaten the eldest lady, it was natural that it should be cleaned up.

Lotus Xiang answered. Carefully lock the bracelet in a brocade box in the cabinet.

Seeing Aiyue holding the clothes she had just changed into and preparing to go to the backyard, Gu Jinli called out to her: "Wait a minute." ”

"Miss?" Aiyue was puzzled, only to see Gu Jinli pointing to the handkerchief that fell from the ground.

Gu Jinli poured a cup of tea and said lightly: "Be careful, the veil is poisonous." ”

"Ahh When Aiyue heard this, the hand she had just stretched out immediately retracted in fright, and her voice trembled: "Miss, how can this handkerchief be ......?"

Gu Jinli took a sip of tea and said coldly: "It's just that there are some stains in the middle of the veil, you can be careful." ”

"Yes, miss." Aizuki's eyes were half-closed. With two fingers cocked, he pinched the handkerchief nervously.

After Aiyue went out, Gu Jinli said slowly: "If I'm not mistaken, the hall should be lit with black agarwood." The eldest lady wanted to harm me, but I didn't expect that I would recognize the 'Senecio' in the tea, if you don't understand pharmacology, you may really follow her way! ”

Even in that cushion, there are needles hidden in the cotton!

Hexiang's heart tightened, and she said uneasily: "Miss, although you spit out the tea, but in the end, do you want the slave to make you a bowl of medicinal soup?" ”

Gu Jinli shook her head, "It's okay, after the 'Qianliguang' and the black agarwood enter the body, it will take half an hour before they take effect, and it is impossible for the eldest lady to let me die in the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

After hearing this, Hexiang put her mind at ease, but she was still annoyed and said: "Miss, the eldest lady didn't succeed in sending someone to assassinate you last time, and she didn't give up this time, this is an iron heart for your life!" ”

"Or else?" Gu Jinli smiled, and her eyes fell on the silver bracelet on her wrist. "In the past, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she didn't do anything just because I didn't get in her way. Now...... I'm a thorn in her side, a thorn in her flesh, and she naturally wants to get rid of me as soon as possible! ”

"Miss......" Hexiang tugged at the handkerchief, her little face heavy: "What should we do?" ”

Gu Jinli thought that in a few days, Chen Liang should decorate the teahouse according to her requirements, as long as the teahouse is open again, she doesn't dare to guarantee that the business of the teahouse will be profitable, but she is sure that the money she earns is enough to pay the guys' salaries, and she can afford to support Aiyue and Hexiang.

When they have saved up a large sum of money, they will be free!

Thinking like this, she raised her lips and raised her eyes to look at Hexiang, "Hexiang, don't worry, after a while, we can leave King Ning's Mansion." ”

Although Hexiang went to the teahouse with Gu Jinli today, she didn't think much about the reason for buying the teahouse, and only thought that the young lady might want to save a little more private money.

Now after listening to Gu Jinli's words, she suddenly realized that Miss had a longer-term plan, and couldn't help but be excited: "Miss, can we really ......?"

"Shhhh Gu Jinli made a silent gesture, "Don't tell Aiyue yet, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better." ”

Hexiang nodded, "The slave understands." ”

"Knock knock", then there was a knock on the door.

Immediately afterwards, Steward Zhou's voice sounded outside the door, "Concubine Gu, the prince instructed the old slave to convey to you, and I want you to go to the flower hall for lunch together in a while." ”

Since he knocked over the porridge cup on the day of the fight, Qi Hao no longer allowed himself to serve at the dinner table, and he actually allowed himself to go to the flower hall for lunch?

Probably. Is it because the Eighth Prince came to the palace today?

Gu Jinli is not afraid of eating, but she is afraid that there will be too many people, and what will happen......

Hearing that there was no movement in the house, Steward Zhou thought that Gu Jinli hadn't heard it, so he raised his voice again and repeated.

"Concubine Ben knows." Gu Jinli rubbed the corners of her eyebrows and responded patiently.

After Steward Zhou left, Hexiang looked at the plain clothes on Gu Jinli's body and said, "Miss, do you want the slave maid to go to the cabinet and find you another piece of gorgeous clothes?" ”

"No, the eighth prince is here to see the princess, if I dress up too eye-catching, I will steal the limelight from the protagonist." Gu Jinli leaned back on the soft collapse. Close your eyes, "I'll sleep for a while, it's almost time for you to call me." ”

Seeing that Gu Jinli was indeed tired between her eyebrows, Hexiang retreated obediently.

Gu Jinli went to the flower hall with lunch, not because she deliberately delayed the time, but because she thought she had arrived early, but she was the last.

Stepping into the flower hall, I saw Qi Hao sitting on the main seat, Yin Suwan on the right hand, and the eighth prince on the left.

Next to Yin Suwan was Yin Suxi, and Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Liu were lined up in turn.

OK. There was an empty seat between Mrs. Liu and the Eighth Prince, and Gu Jinli's seat was not embarrassing.

Before everyone spoke, she bowed her head and saluted: "The concubine is late, and I hope that the prince and the eighth prince will forgive their sins." ”

Qi Hao's cold gaze stayed on Gu Jinli, picked up the chopsticks, and said expressionlessly: "Eat!" ”

Mrs. Yu pinched her chopsticks, glanced at Gu Jinli, and muttered, "Let so many people wait, the face is really big!" ”

Gu Jinli sat down calmly, and did not show any restraint in her every move.

Qi Hao picked up a dish of roasted fish with hibiscus, and then carefully removed the bones. Put it in Yin Suwan's bowl: "Wanwan, you have lost weight in the past few days, eat more." ”

With that, he continued to pick at another piece of fish thorn.

Yin Suwan looked at him and looked focused, and her heart was sweet, "Okay." ”

"Alas, brother-in-law, my sister still wants me to stay with her in the house for a few days, seeing you so sweet, I'd better not be an eyesore!" Yin Suxi sighed, pretending to be lost.

The Eighth Prince cooperated: "Sister Suxi, Xiaoba will pick fish bones for you." ”

There were seven people at a table, except for the eighth prince who livened up the atmosphere at the right time, and Yin Suxi and Yin Suwan said a few witty words, the remaining three women all lowered their heads and ate the food on their dishes.

Gu Jinli had nothing to say to these people, Mrs. Liu didn't talk much, and Mrs. Yu, she was waiting for Yin Suxi to point her gun at Gu Jinli.

After all, on the day of Yin Suwan's wedding, she had seen how powerful this little girl was.

The two sisters of the Yin family have a deep relationship, and they are at the same table with the person who harmed Yin Suwan, so she doesn't believe that Yin Suxi can finish this meal calmly!

"Concubine Gu, the tea is gone." Sure enough, after a while, Yin Suxi shook the empty teacup, hooked his lips and smiled: "The sins you have created will not be paid off in a lifetime." Pour my sister a cup of tea, isn't it? ”

I found a super nice song, Nine Cards!! The single has been looping for a long time, good night!
