"Lord Wang, the young lady is unwell and has fallen asleep." He Xiang had already received Gu Jinli's instructions, so she stayed at the gate of the courtyard early in the morning.

It's just that the two of them thought that the person who came over again would be Steward Zhou, but they didn't expect Qi Hao to come over in person.

Moreover, looking at his gloomy face, it can be seen that the person who came was not good.

"Not feeling well?" Qi Hao naturally didn't believe Hexiang's words, and while flicking his sleeves and continuing to walk in, he snorted coldly: "You are still sharp and energetic during the day, and you are sick so soon?" ”

"Lord Wang!" Hexiang stood in front of Qi Hao, and said respectfully: "Our young lady is really sick, you see, the lights in the house have been turned off early!" ”

Qi Hao narrowed his eyes and pushed away Hexiang, "Since you're sick, then this king has to go in and have a look!" ”

What does it mean when the lights go out? This woman wants to trick him? What a daredevil!

Although Qi Hao's strength was much smaller than that of Madam Tuiyu just now, he still almost pushed Hexiang to the ground.

"Squeak", the door opened, and was it really inside? A piece of paint.

Through the faint moonlight shining in at the door, Qi Hao vaguely saw Gu Jinli's half side face lying on the bed.

"Lord Wang, the slave really didn't lie to you...... Miss, she had indeed fallen asleep. Hexiang stood behind Qi Hao, her voice revealing nervousness.

Qi Hao strode in and said coldly: "Palm lamp!" ”

Seeing that Hexiang hesitated and didn't move, his tone sank a little and repeated it again.

Hexiang had no choice but to light the candle lightly.

Qi Hao took a few steps forward, and really saw Gu Jinli's face showing an abnormal flush, and her forehead was dense. beads of sweat, really like I'm sick.

Frowning, the anger in his heart disappeared by half.

Leaning over and reaching out to probe at the door of her head, he turned to Hexiang and said, "It's burning so badly." Why don't you go to a doctor? ”

"Miss said that it was not in the way, and it would be fine if you slept well, so the slave maid ......" In Qi Hao's cold eyes, Hexiang lowered her head weakly.

Qi Hao said unhappily: "Go now!" ”

Hexiang glanced at Gu Jinli and whispered, "But ......"

Gu Jinli was pretending to be sick, wouldn't it be exposed if she invited the doctor?

Moreover, Aiyue has already gone down to rest, will it be a little inappropriate to leave Qi Hao in the room by herself?

"Could it be that your young lady is pretending to be sick?" Tightly locked on Hexiang's unnatural little face, Qi Hao's eyes dimmed.

"Slave maid...... Slave and maid, go now! Hexiang didn't dare to say anything more. I was afraid that there would be too many flaws, so I could only run out of the yard.

Gu Jinli listened to the conversation between the two, and her eyebrows frowned slightly.

After Hexiang left, Qi Hao's eyes fell on Gu Jinli's ruddy little face, and he looked at her carefully intently.

Noticing that the sheets next to her pillow seemed to have a large tea stain that had not dried, Qi Hao lowered his head and touched it a few times without a trace.

Gu Jinli closed her eyes and couldn't see what Qi Hao was doing, she only felt that his breathing was close at hand, and her heart beat faster.

Pinching a tea stem, he hooked the corner of his lips.

Look up at the table again. Not to mention the missing teapot, there was also a teacup lying crookedly in the tray, half spilled and soaking the tablecloth.

Standing up, Qi Hao walked to the table and tried the temperature of the tea again, it was very hot, it should have been brewed not long ago.

Listening to the sound of walking beside the bed, Gu Jinli's heart became more and more uneasy.

Qi Hao saw that the middle of Gu Jinli's quilt was slightly bulging out a little bit more than other places, and he probably had a number in his heart.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he stared at her like that, doing nothing, trying to see how brazen she could be.

Qi Hao's eyes were even more roasting than the hot teapot Gu Jinli was holding in her arms. Gu Jinli felt that every minute passed so long.

The beads of sweat on her forehead are getting bigger and bigger, and if she covers it like this, I'm afraid that her whole body will be roasted.

Moving the teapot down little by little, both afraid that Qi Hao would find out, and afraid that the teapot would overflow from the spout, Gu Jinli did it very hard.

However, before she dared to make a big move, a big hand pressed against her teapot through the quilt.

Gritting her teeth, Gu Jinli slowly opened her eyes and said in a weak tone: "Wang ...... Lord, why are you here? ”

Qi Hao withdrew his hand, and didn't break her, and said with a smile: "This king heard that you were sick, so he came to see you." ”

Gu Jinli quickly moved the teapot into the quilt, stood up, covered her mouth and coughed twice, "The concubine is fine, it may be that the wind and heat enter the body during the bath, just let Hexiang grab a few pairs of medicine tomorrow." ”

Sneaking a glance outside, she was a little anxious.

When Hexiang began to salute Qi Hao, she extinguished the candle as soon as possible, and then climbed into bed with the hot tea she had just brewed.

Because she was in too much of a hurry, she knocked over a teacup, and she didn't have time to help it up.

Now Hexiang has been sent to the doctor by Qi Haozhi, what should the doctor do to take her pulse in a while?

Qi Hao nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This king heard that you don't want to go to the palace with this king for a banquet?" ”

Gu Jinli pulled her lips, and said with a smile: "It's not that the concubine is unwilling, but the concubine is unworthy." ”

"The prince and grandson, the important ministers of the court, only the wife is qualified to attend the palace banquet, and the concubine still understands this rule."

Although he said that he was not worthy in his mouth, he did not have any inferiority complex and shame in his eyes.

Besides, if she really minded being humble and humble, how could she protect Aiyue and Hexiang like she did before?

It's rare that Qi Hao didn't follow her words to sarcastically mock her self-knowledge as usual, "It's okay, it's also Wanwan to let you go to the banquet, what qualifications do others have to point fingers at the family affairs of my Ning Wangfu?" ”

He looked at her with burning eyes, and there was no doubt: "I will ask the doctor to boil a bowl of medicine for you, and tomorrow you will accompany this king into the palace." ”

"Lord Wang...... The concubine really doesn't need to look at the doctor. Gu Jinli suddenly felt that she was very uncomfortable in the face of such a Qi Hao.

If he loses his temper with her at every turn as before, or slaps her, she can still respond to all changes.

Of course, she doesn't have any masochistic tendencies, but now she can't guess his ambiguous mind, and she is very passive.

Capturing the embarrassment that flashed in Gu Jinli's eyes, Qi Hao leaned forward, raised his hand to rub her smooth chin, and said with an indistinguishable expression: "Gu Jinxiu, no one in this world dares to deceive this king." ”

"For those who have deceived this king are dead."

Gu Jinli's body trembled, and she looked at him with wide eyes. I moved my lips, but I didn't know what to say.

"Lord Wang, the doctor is here!" At this time, Hexiang hurriedly came in with the doctor.

Not far from the opposite side of Wangfu Street, there was a medical center, and she was afraid that Qi Hao would do something excessive to Gu Jinli while she was away, so she ran back all the way.

The doctor was also out of breath, bowed down, and saluted Qi Hao: "The villain has seen Lord Ning." ”

"Let's get started." Qi Hao waved his hand and motioned for him to diagnose Gu Jinli's pulse.

Gu Jinli and Hexiang glanced at each other, and when they saw Hexiang nodding to themselves quietly, they knew that she had already taken care of the doctor on the way, so they stretched out their wrists.

The doctor was about to put his hand on Gu Jinli's wrist, but he heard Qi Hao suddenly say, "Slow! ”

Gu Jinli and the doctor were shocked at the same time, especially the doctor, who immediately retracted his hand tremblingly.

"Hexiang, veil!" Qi Hao looked at the lotus fragrance and said something incomprehensible.

Hexiang took out the handkerchief in confusion, I don't know if it was for the doctor or whom, so she could only hand it to Qi Hao and whispered: "Lord Wang, give." ”

The furrow between Qi Hao's eyebrows wrinkled again, and before he could speak, a plain white jade hand took it.

After Gu Jinli put the handkerchief on her wrist, she said to the doctor, "It's okay." ”

Hexiang remembered that Gu Jinli had also put a veil on Yin Suwan's pulse in Yixin Courtyard, and now she understood, it turned out to be what it meant!

However, Gu Jinli did that to prevent Yin Suwan and Shuang'er from taking the opportunity to frame them, why is this?

Recalling that Wei Liao and Imperial Physician Wang didn't seem to have used a veil before, whether they were taking Yin Suwan's pulse or detoxifying Gu Jinli, could it be that Qi Hao didn't believe the doctor outside?

Thinking like this, Hexiang looked at Qi Hao's eyes more and more strange.

Gu Jinli didn't dare to be amorous and thought that Qi Hao meant that she didn't like others to touch her, but she was just like last time, afraid that the doctor's hands would be too cold and her pulse would not be accurate, so she would really see what was wrong.

The doctor quickly finished his pulse, stroked his sparse beard, and said with a pretentious feeling: "Has Concubine Gu been poisoned before?" ”

Seeing Gu Jinli nodding, he said in a solemn tone: "The toxins in the body have not been cleared, so we have to recuperate for some more time." ”

After that, he got up and saluted Qi Hao, "Lord Wang, boil some ginger soup and sweat, and Concubine Gu's wind heat will be able to subside." However, don't get angry, it's best not to run around and get tired, just calm down and recuperate. ”

"There's Dr. Law." Seeing that Qi Hao didn't speak, Gu Jinli breathed a sigh of relief, and pretended to say, "Hexiang, send a doctor." ”

Hexiang answered, and hurriedly walked out of the room with the doctor.

"Lord Wang...... You also heard what the doctor said just now, it's really not that the concubine doesn't know how to lift, it's really that the concubine is inconvenient. Gu Jinli sighed, sounding very helpless.

Qi Hao pursed his lips and said unmoved: "It won't take half an hour to go from the palace to the palace. This small distance is not much of a tiring journey. ”

"You go with this king just as an ornament, eat more and talk less, no one will pay attention to you, let alone be angry."

"Uh......" Gu Jinli's facial muscles twitched a few times, and she was dumbfounded by Qi Hao's fluttering words.

"Clothes will be sent to you by Steward Zhou in a while, and this king will go back first!" Very satisfied with Gu Jinli's reaction, Qi Hao said goodbye and walked to the door.

In the past, he was furious with Gu Jinli, and almost killed her a few times, especially when he looked at the calm and light appearance on her face at that time, it was like adding fuel to the fire.

And just now, he was rare and calm, but he could see on her face that he wanted to refute but was powerless, how could he be in a bad mood?

Stopped, Qi Hao turned around unexpectedly, and was so shocked that Gu Jinli, who had just lifted the quilt and got out of bed with a teapot, almost didn't stand firm.

Her big clear eyes were full of panic, and one of her legs was already on the ground, and she didn't know whether to withdraw it or drop the other leg on the ground.

The corners of his lips curled wider, and there was a hint of imperceptible pleasure in Qi Hao's voice: "Don't forget, let Hexiang boil you a bowl of ginger soup." ”

With this look, he obviously saw through his tricks a long time ago.

After Gu Jinli heard this, her flushed face turned red again, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Qi Hao chuckled twice, leaving Gu Jinli with a back.

"Miss......" Hexiang came in from outside, and when she saw Qi Hao smiling at the door, she couldn't help but run in quickly, and said strangely: "Lord Wang, is he okay?" ”

Gu Jinli put the teapot heavily on the table, looked at the dancing candle flame, nodded irritably, and shook his head again.

She really didn't have the face to tell Hexiang that Qi Hao actually knew from the beginning that she was pretending to be sick.

I always feel that I and Hexiang must be like clowns jumping off the beam in Qi Hao's eyes tonight, what a stupid fool who pretends to be smart!

Thinking of Qi Hao's smiling peach blossom eyes when she left, her heart became irritable again.

poured a cup of tea, Gu Jinli was about to put it in her mouth, but her tongue hurt from being burned, "Hmm......"

"Miss, why don't you go to the kitchen and get you some herbal tea?" Seeing this, Hexiang immediately took the cup in her hand.

"Concubine Gu, the old slave was ordered by the prince to send you the clothes that you will enter the palace tomorrow." I didn't expect that as soon as Qi Hao left, Steward Zhou arrived so soon.

Hear him outside the door. Gu Jinli lay on the table and said in a muffled voice, "Go, bring it in." ”

Hexiang was stunned, and then she understood why Gu Jinli looked so depressed.

After bringing the clothes in, Hexiang comforted: "Miss, since the prince insists on asking you to go to the banquet, then you can relax." ”

"Don't worry if you have a slave with you."

Looking at the jewelry in front of him that radiated a gorgeous light under the candlelight, Gu Jinli sighed heavily and said, "That's it, it's hard to ride a tiger, I'll just go." ”

got up and walked in the direction of the bed, and she said, "However, tomorrow you stay in the house to guard the courtyard, and let Aiyue accompany me." ”

"Yes, miss." After making the bed, Hexiang withdrew.

Gu Jinli stared at the tassels hanging from the curtain, twisted the quilt corners, whispered Qi Hao's name a few times, and let out a long sigh.

Qi Hao, Qi Hao, when will I be able to leave this cage and leave you!

Turning over, she closed her eyes depressedly and fell asleep for a long time.

The banquet to welcome Xuan Shizi back to Beijing was still held in Yonghe Palace.

Although it was a dinner party, Qi Hao set off with Gu Jinli from King Ning's Mansion before the time of the unitary.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the ministers' carriages had stopped one after another.

Gu Jinli opened the curtain and saw a large group of familiar figures.

Next to the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, stood the luxuriously groomed eldest lady and the exquisitely dressed Gu Jinxiu.

Next to Gu Jinxiu, there are the fourth young lady Gu Jinyao who can't hide the joy on her face and the third young lady Gu Jinyu who is timid and restless.

With her eyes moving slightly, Gu Jinli couldn't help but be a little surprised.

According to the rules, Gu Jinyao and Gu Jinyu, the two concubines, should not appear here, and the eldest lady never disdained to take them to the palace banquet before.

So, what is the calculation of the eldest lady this time?

And a few carriages next to it. Those who came down were several sons and young ladies of the Yin family, the Jiang family, and the Shen family.

Yin Zike was still dressed in white clothes like a fairy, and after his eyes met her unexpectedly, he was stunned at first, and then looked away.

"If you don't come down yet, don't you want this king to hug you?" A low reprimand made Gu Jinli notice that Qi Hao was already standing outside the carriage.

Gu Jinli lowered the curtains, cut her hair, and slowly got out of the carriage with her skirt.

"Remember what this king said, eat more and talk less!" Qi Hao flicked his clothes, then turned and walked forward.

Gu Jinli followed behind Qi Hao, keeping a distance not far away. Speechless, staring at his back.

Eat more, talk less?

He'd already said it once yesterday, and she's not deaf and can't hear, so as for repeating it again?

As Gu Jinli and Qi Hao approached, those people couldn't help but look at her.

Looking at her extravagant clothes and jewelry, the women began to envy and hate again.

"That clothes belong to Yunshuifang, right? It's a bargain to wear her! ”

"It looks like Yunshuifang, but it may also be imitated by other unknown shops, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, and the hairpin on her head and the pendant on her ear, it must also be the goods of Qimengge!"

"If it's genuine. If you don't say anything, you have to get 100,000 taels! How could Prince Ning spend so much silver on her? Needless to say, it's also a fake! ”

"Oh, not necessarily, look at this woman's eyes like a fox, in case she seduces ......"

I don't know who it is, the more I talk about it, the more I go too far, I cover my mouth and laugh with disdain.

……

Although it was not the first time Qi Hao had heard these discussions, he felt that it was very harsh.

Stopped, his cold eyes swept over those people one by one, and in an instant it was like a gust of wind blowing, so frightened that they all quickly shut up.

"Bang", Gu Jinli didn't expect Qi Hao to stop suddenly. A headfirst hit on his solid back.

Covering her sour nose, she said in an urn voice: "Lord Wang, what are you stopping for?" ”

Qi Hao heard that there was some blame in her tone, then turned his head and glared at her, and turned around inexplicably and left her behind.

Gu Jinli blinked, looking at the women around her who were obviously jealous but afraid, and her heart moved.

Could it be that he was angry because he heard others talking about her?

Looking down at the clothes on his body, huh...... Compared with others, her clothes today are indeed very eye-catching!

Unconsciously curling her lips, she lifted her heel.

As soon as Gu Chengen got out of the car, he saw a smile on Gu Jin's lips, and he couldn't help but purse his lips.

But Gu Jinli didn't see him, and gradually walked away.

"Hmph, what's there to be angry about! Shameless ......" Gu Jinli was dressed so dazzlingly, which was really unexpected by Gu Jinxiu, so the tone of her words became even more resentful.

"Shut up!" When the eldest lady saw Gu Huai get out of the carriage, she immediately gave Gu Jinxiu a look, lowered her voice and instructed the other two concubines: "There are many people entering the palace today, you must pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't make trouble!" ”

Gu Jinyu and Gu Jinyao hurriedly said, "Yes." Mother. ”

Gu Chengen glanced at Gu Jinxiu coldly, and then took the lead with Gu Huai.

Since his conspiracy was exposed by Gu Chengen that day, he has been lacking confidence in front of Gu Chengen.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the eldest lady also raised her chin, and led her three daughters to follow with a dignified manner.

Because there were too many people attending the banquet today, after everyone was seated, the entire hall was almost full of people.

In the middle are the seats of the queen mother, the emperor and the queen and other concubines, which are still empty for the time being.

The vacant seat at the bottom left is Xuan Shizi, Qi Hao sits down at the bottom right, Gu Jinli is next to him, and opposite is Xiao Ba and the absent-minded Seven Princes.

Xiao Hachi wanted to run over to say hello to Qi Hao, but thinking that there were many people, he still endured and sat down.

"Seventh brother, seventh brother." Pulling the Seventh Prince, who was bored and pouring wine, he grinned and said, "Didn't you attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet when you were sick last time, look, the person next to the fourth brother is Gu Jinxiu." ”

The Seventh Prince took the wine glass in his hand, looked up at Gu Jinli, and pouted, "Two eyes and one nose, what's so beautiful." ”

When the Eighth Prince heard this, his eyes widened. "Seventh brother, she is the first talented woman in our country, and she is also good-looking, you actually say that there is nothing good-looking?"

The Seventh Prince said impatiently: "Little child, what do you understand! ”

"The fourth brother never treated me as a child." The Eighth Prince lowered his eyes and muttered.

The Seventh Prince sneered, as if he hadn't heard it.

Among the many princes, except for Qi Hao, the eighth prince is only close to the seventh prince.

The Seventh Prince is the only prince who has not been crowned a king and lives in the palace after reaching adulthood, and his mother Concubine Shufei was sent to the cold palace in his early years because of angering the emperor, so he was raised by the queen when he was a child.

The empress once gave birth to a crown prince for the old emperor. But the little prince died unexpectedly when he was two years old, and the queen has not had children since.

adopted the Seventh Prince, and the queen wanted to have a good future to rely on, so she taught him strictly since she was a child, even if she made a little noise during dinner, she would definitely be severely punished.

As the Seventh Prince grew up, his temperament became more and more timid and inferior.

Faced with a dou who couldn't be helped, the queen was very disappointed.

On the second day after the mother of the eighth prince died in childbirth, she immediately asked the old emperor to adopt the eighth prince again.

Because of the lessons from the past, the queen learned the lessons of the failure of the Seventh Prince in the education of the Eighth Prince, and was a little more tolerant and relaxed towards the Eighth Prince.

Fortunately, the eighth prince is smart and clever. It is very liked by the old emperor, and the queen can be regarded as having a sense of accomplishment.

It is precisely because the seventh prince and the eighth prince were raised under the queen's knees, so the two eat and live together in the Mingyang Palace, and the relationship is also good.

However, the Seventh Prince privately did not believe in the brotherhood between Qi Hao and the Eighth Prince.

After all, in all dynasties, such rebellious things as killing brothers and fathers abounded.

Qi Hao is not a good person, he is good to Xiaoba now, isn't he afraid of going against him in the future?

"The emperor has arrived!"

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

"The prince of Nanyang has arrived!"

Suddenly, the sharp and unique voice of Grandpa Jia came from the door.

Everyone hurriedly stood up from their seats, began to kowtow, saluted, and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." The Queen Mother is a thousand years old and a thousand years old, and the queen mother is a thousand years old and a thousand years old! ”

The old emperor and the queen supported the queen mother on the left and the right, and Concubine Li, Concubine De, and the two princesses Hua Qiong and Xiyue followed behind the queen.

The last person, the gorgeous purple clothes, the graceful demeanor, and the peerless face, there is no doubt that it is the prince of Nanyang!

After the old emperor said "flat", when Gu Jinli stood up and sat down, Chen Zexuan happened to pass by her and Qi Hao's table.

After seeing Chen Zexuan's face, Gu Jinli was stunned.

The first time I met was in the teahouse, he was the evil son at the same table.

The goodbye was when she got out of Qi Hao's carriage in a state of embarrassment. He was a kind passerby who drove her home.

Now, he's ...... How did he become the son of Xuan Shizi who was infatuated by thousands of girls in Beijing?

Chen Zexuan hooked his thin red lips, smiled wantonly, shook his fan and nodded and continued to move forward.

Well...... The male protagonist sees through it and doesn't say anything, because he found an interesting soul! The tip of the iceberg melts, good night! Well, weakly said, I can take medicine for the time being, and I will go to the hospital for a review after a while, and if the situation is not good, I can only have surgery, thank you for your concern, Aso is very grateful! Thank you and good night...... I'm Asu, and I'm also Mianmian, Momoda.
