Chapter 12: First Sight

As soon as Nan Xiao returned to the Taicheng Palace, Tang rushed into the hall, bowed his head and lifted the clothes of the official uniform, and trotted to the palace.

"Qiqi Sheng, the prince has arrived safely in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and now he is kneeling outside the palace to wait for the decree, waiting for His Majesty to send it!" Don ventured in and kowtowed.

Nan Xiao climbed the steps of His Majesty and sat down on the dragon chair, "Aiqing has worked hard all the way, announce it." The voice was low, without a hint of undulation.

"Xuan ...... The son of North Li Shizi meets ......! ”

Gu Beicheng knelt outside the hall, and when he heard him, he got up calmly, tidied up his clothes, raised his feet and stepped over the threshold of vermilion lacquer, and calmly stepped into the Taicheng Palace.

Every step he took on this royal road, he was like stepping on thorns, and what appeared in front of him was the people of Beili under the whipping, the Yingge who fell in a pool of blood, and the small stool......

Gu Beicheng came to the hall and did not look at Nan Xiao, because his heart was surging with turbulent waves, kneeling, bowing, and at the moment of leaning down, he quietly turned the huge waves in his heart into a shallow smile on his face, "Beili Shizi, Gu Beicheng, knock to see His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"Look up." Nan Xiao's face was expressionless.

Gu Beicheng slowly raised his head, his face was delicately contoured, a little too fat, a little less too thin, thin lips pursed, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his slender eyebrows were handsome, and a pair of deep Danfeng peach blossom eyes were affectionate and uninhibited, glowing with the essence of all things.

"It's not a loss, the son of the first beauty in Beili, Zhong Ling Junxiu." Nan Xiao looked at the Northern Li Shizi under His Majesty's steps and sighed, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever read and read in Northern Li?" ”

Mother said that now you have to endure everything, don't be strong, and don't fight for winning or losing everything.

is too competitive, it will only bring disaster to Beili, Gu Beicheng paused for a second, and replied: "No." ”

"Why?" Nan Xiao looked at him suspiciously, Gu Qiang's only son, how could he not be literate and hyphenated? He didn't believe it.

"My father hired a teacher for me, and I came to the Southern Jin Dynasty." Gu Beicheng's tone was calm.

Could it be ......? Nan Xiao was secretly happy, walked up to him, leaned over and asked leisurely, "Then you can ride and shoot?" ”

"No!" Gu Beicheng replied without thinking.

"This dignified Northern Li Shizi doesn't know anything, so what will you do?" Nan Xiao teased.

Gu Beicheng kowtowed and replied loudly: "Raise a puppy!" ”

The Manchu Dynasty laughed, Nan Xiao was overjoyed, the timing of catching the prince to the Southern Jin Dynasty seemed to be just right, even God blessed the Southern Jin Dynasty, Gu Qiang, Gu Qiang, is just a person without foresight! Is there a reason for Beili to be immortal?

"I didn't expect it, this Northern Li Shizi looks very clever, but he is an illiterate straw bale...... Hahaha......" A minister patted Danfu, "Why doesn't Taifu laugh?" Isn't it funny? ”

Dan Fu smiled in agreement, turned his face and smiled bitterly on his face, after thousands of calculations, he didn't know that this world was originally a blank piece of paper, and now I am afraid that it will be more auspicious and less auspicious...... Sneaking a glance at Gu Beicheng, he suddenly wanted to cry.

Nan Xiao pretended to be serious and said: "Although you are my Southern Jin Dynasty proton, but your homework cannot be wasted, so from today on, Taifu will personally teach you, I will test you from time to time, don't slack off, you know?" Then he glanced at Lin Song, "In the future, you will live in General Lin Song's mansion so that you can take care of it." ”

The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty asked him for a teacher? Hmph, is there such a good thing in the world? A man who is bent on destroying his home country wants to ask someone to teach him to read? Gu Beicheng sneered in his heart, maybe it was a trap.

"Yes! Beicheng obeys! Gu Beicheng's surface was calm, and he kowtowed to thank him.

Lin Song and Dan Fu also hurriedly stood up and knelt down to bow to the order, "Minister, obey the order!" ”

Gu Beicheng secretly glanced at Dan Fu, his eyes were sharp, this Tai Fu seemed to be a weak scholar, if he dared to plot against him, he would definitely kill him with his own hands.

After getting off the court, Dan Fu deliberately ignored Gu Beicheng, and passed by him domineeringly, Gu Beicheng fell to the ground with that weak look, and he couldn't bear to look at him directly.

Lin Song helped Gu Beicheng up, asked him to be careful with his feet, followed closely behind, his attitude was flat, Nan Xiao and his father-in-law stood on the city tower and watched from afar......

"Your Majesty, can you rest assured?" The father-in-law asked, then frowned and said, "The old slave looked, and he didn't see any clues......

Nan Xiao narrowed his eyes and said with his hand: "Don't worry, wait a little longer, and see Bei Li's reaction." ”

The father-in-law arched his hand: "The emperor is sage!" ”

……

As soon as Lin Song got off the carriage, Lin Miaoyin rushed over and hugged him, and said affectionately: "Daddy has worked hard today, my mother personally made your favorite dish, guess what?" ”

"Hmm...... As long as it's made by your mother, Daddy and I love it! Touching Lin Miaoyin's head, "In the future, there will be one more person in our house." ”

Only then did Lin Miaoyin notice Gu Beicheng standing behind Lin Song, a pair of white cloud brocade boots, with a vermilion Xuanyu carved gold ribbon around his waist, and a piece of cockroach pattern hollow mutton fat jade pendant hanging down.

A bright red middle coat, wearing a white cross-collared sleeved brocade robe, on which the crane embroidered with silver thread is lifelike, there are auspicious clouds and dark lines at the robe, and the black hair is tied up with a silver white jade crown, hanging down behind him.

She only met Gu Beicheng's gaze, and at a glance, she fell into it, unable to extricate herself, obviously seeing tenderness in his eyes, but it was like a meteor passing by, leaving a vast expanse.

All the love in this world starts with the heartbeat, but the heartbeat itself never needs a reason, probably at that moment, I just met, and that person is exactly what I like.

"This is my daughter, Lin Miaoyin." Lin Song looked at Gu Beicheng and said, patted Gu Beicheng on the shoulder again, and said to Lin Miaoyin: "This is Gu Beicheng, the son of Beili." ”

After listening to Lin Song, Gu Beicheng was silent, only smiled lightly and nodded at Lin Miaoyin.

He looked better when he smiled, but she faintly felt that he was not happy at all, and even smiled a little reluctantly, and in just a breath, a trace of sadness seemed to flash in Gu Beicheng's eyes.

The door of the house is wide open, there are guards with knives wearing silver armor on the left and right sides, facing the gate of the house is a very wide covered bridge, carved beams and painted buildings, there are several pots of flowers neatly arranged on both sides of the bridge, under the bridge is a pool of clear water, there are several koi fish in it.

Lin Miaoyin led Lin Song to walk in front, she always looked back at him secretly, at this moment, there was no emotion on his face at all, maybe she was wrong just now.

Gu Beicheng walked behind their father and daughter, watching the koi in the pond, and Yu Guang saw Lin Miao's audio turning back frequently, so he deliberately avoided her gaze.

Crossing the covered bridge, is connected to the marble verandah, surrounded by the verandah is the main hall with green tiles and red walls, the four corners are warped, kissing the beast town house, the left and right sides of the verandah lead to Lin Miaoyin's Shuhua Pavilion and the Anzhiyuan specially prepared for Gu Beicheng.

Lin Song strode into the main hall with his head held high, sat down on the Taishi chair in the middle, and the maids immediately served tea and fruit snacks, Lin Miaoyin stood next to Lin Song, with only Gu Beicheng in his eyes.

Today's main hall is very lively, I heard that there is a beautiful prince in the house, and many maidservants have come to watch.

Gu Beicheng stopped in the hall, the eyes of the maidservants flashed instantly, Miao Jing came in from outside the hall, walked by Gu Beicheng elegantly, and asked leisurely, "This is ......?" Seeing Lin Song nodding, she wanted to speak and stopped.

"Someone!" Lin Song shouted softly, "Take the prince back to Anzhiyuan." ”

Several maids rushed in at once, and hurriedly stood behind Gu Beicheng, and secretly looked at him, Miao Jing saw that there was actually someone in charge of sprinkling and sweeping, and couldn't help but laugh.

It's really getting more and more unruly, Lin Song glared at them, and then reluctantly withdrew a few.

Gu Beicheng lowered his eyes, and silently glanced at them with his residual vision, not knowing which Lin Fu was singing, and in a blink of an eye, he found that Lin Miaoyin was smiling at him, and his heart beat slowly for a second.

The old butler arched his hand and asked, "What about the servants of this Ann Garden?" ”

Manservant? Gu Beicheng hurriedly came back to his senses, he was already in prison, and one more stranger by his side would be more dangerous for him, rather than facing the unpredictability every day, it would be better to be quiet and comfortable alone.

"It's forgiven." Gu Beicheng said hurriedly, seeing that Lin Song's face was full of doubts, he added: "Xijing." ”

"Then depending on the son, there is no need for the people who serve, and the housekeeper can arrange for a fixed person to deliver meals and clean up every day." Lin Song paused, "Shizi thinks this is feasible?" ”

"Thank you, General." Gu Beicheng is not only dignified, but also polite, his gentle and elegant appearance is deeply appreciated by Miaojing.

After speaking, Lin Song waved his hand, asked all the maids to retreat, and ordered the guards to send Gu Beicheng back to Anzhiyuan.

As soon as Gu Beicheng left, Lin Miaoyin also left the main hall under the pretext of excuse.

"What a good child, it's a pity that it's a proton, otherwise it's a good match for my sound." Miao Jing looked at Gu Beicheng's distant back and sighed quietly.

Lin Song heard it, walked over and gently hugged Miao Jing's waist, shook his head and said, "I don't think so!" ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Miao Jing was taken aback.

"Don't you think this kid is a little more calm than his peers? If he wasn't too timid, he must be a man with a sword and a halberd. Lin Song was a little worried, "Don't let Yin'er get too close to him for the time being." ”

Gu Beicheng came to the door of An Zhiyuan, he raised his head and glanced at the plaque, and muttered to himself: "An Zhiyuan? Is it safe to come and go? The corners of his mouth lifted.

Surrounded by white walls outside the courtyard, under a round courtyard gate, is a road made of stones.

He walked along the Yong Road, which was lined with blooming magnolias, and the road was connected to a white marble bridge in the garden, which spanned the pond and connected to the pavilion in the pool, which was a bedroom with a sliding door.

The pond is surrounded by green shade and weeping willows, dotted with flowers, water lilies in the pond, and fish playing among the flowers.

The puppy ran in front of him, barking while happily chasing the flying butterfly, Gu Beicheng looked at it, he should give it a name, he brought the puppy over, picked it up, looked at it and said, "What do you call it?" Or...... Let's just tell you to rush in. With that, "Rush" broke free from him and ran away.

Unconsciously came to the front of the room, opened the door on both sides, the light gray cotton and linen curtain hanging in the middle of the room was scattered, and the lotus flower embroidered with white silk was on it, dividing the whole room into two, the front was a low chess table, there was a futon on each side, and the back was a simple bed, sprinkled with white gauze tents, clean and concise.

At night, Gu Beicheng sat at the door of the bedroom, leaning against the door, "daring in" obediently lying at his feet, he looked up at the stars in the sky, I don't know if the night sky can be seen in Beili......

Suddenly, a figure flashed by, hid behind the willow tree by the pool, and "rushed" suddenly rushed over, looking for the smell and ran to the willow tree and barked wildly. Gu Beicheng took off the silver hairpin on his head casually and held it in his hand.

"Go away...... Go away......" Lin Miaoyin kept coaxing the puppy in a low voice.

Gu Beicheng put the hairpin behind him, walked towards the willow tree, and reprimanded, "Who? ”

"Me!" Lin Miaoyin slowly walked out from behind the tree, and under the moonlight, her figure gradually became clear, "Oh, for you." He handed a snack box to Gu Beicheng.

"Aggressive" is still shouting at Lin Miaoyin's feet.

"What?" Gu Beicheng glanced at it, but didn't reach out to pick it up, squatted down and patted the head of the "rush", stopping its scream.

Lin Miaoyin held the box in both hands and handed it to Gu Beicheng, "Snacks for you." ”

Seeing that Lin Miaoyin suddenly stretched the box towards him, Gu Beicheng instinctively flashed to the side, got up quickly, took a step back subconsciously, and moved quickly and neatly.

Then he stood in place, looking at Lin Miaoyin vigilantly, not knowing what she wanted to do when she came to him so late.

Lin Miaoyin blinked her eyes and looked at him with disdain, she was not afraid of a girl, a boy, I don't know what I was afraid of! She's going to eat people or something!

"What are you nervous about? I saw that you had just arrived in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and I was worried that the food would not suit your appetite, thinking that if you were hungry, you could be satisfied. Lin Miaoyin ran to him and stuffed the box to him angrily, "Kindly bring you snacks, what are you running?" Can I still eat you? ”

Gu Beicheng cautiously took the box and said softly: "Thank you." ”

"No thanks, you live in my house, take care of you." Lin Miaoyin bit her lip, pinched her skirt and asked him, "That'...... We'll be friends in the future, right? ”

"Friends?" This is probably the most unexpected thing for Gu Beicheng, as a proton, he can still have friends......

Lin Miaoyin saw him hesitate, and suddenly felt a little lost, "You...... Don't want to? ”

"Yes, but, I'm ......" Before Gu Beicheng could speak, Lin Miaoyin ran away.

She didn't want to hear him say he was a proton, she knew it, but so what? For Lin Miaoyin, he is not a prince of the world, nor is he a proton, just Gu Beicheng.

She ran to the gate of the courtyard and said loudly, "I'll go first...... Come to play with you again when you have time, and remember, we are friends! ”

Gu Beicheng took the box back to the bedroom and slowly opened it, the oval box was divided into four food compartments, each of which contained different snacks.

He stared at the hairpin in his hand for a long time, this snack, he, do you want to try? Thinking of Lin Miaoyin saying that they would be friends in the future, I couldn't help but smile.

Gu Beicheng put down the hairpin, took a piece of snack from the box, hesitated for a moment, slowly put it in his mouth, and took a bite gently.

In the middle of the night, Nan Jinyan had a high fever that did not go away, and the imperial doctors tried their best, but they still did not get better after using medicine, and the emperor sent a chariot to quickly take Miaojing's mother and daughter into the palace overnight.
