Helian Hongyi lit it with tea and drew it on the table: "Helian family originated from the north, the ancestral house is in Dadu, and the town is guarded outside the pass, most of the time, it is to resist the Chu State, and the outside of the pass is also very close to the Chu State, our group, including Lord Liu, they have all come to the territory of Chu with me, and the palace doesn't know how many times they have broken through, it was not Chu Yanzhang who was the emperor that year, who came?" Chu Yanzhang's uncle?. ”

As he was talking, the mutton came up, Gu Banqin was hungry, and his eyes lit up when he saw the meat: "Wow, it's very good." ”

The second brother listened to Gu Banqin's words, and immediately agreed: "Guest officer try it, although our shop is not big, the taste is excellent." ”

There was a plate of spicy oil next to a plate of sliced mutton, which was cut with ginger strips and minced garlic, and it was fragrant without eating, Gu Banqin couldn't wait to clip a piece of meat, dip it in the sauce and send it to his mouth, and nodded to Helian Hongyi again and again: "It's delicious." ”

Helian Hongyi was also happy to see that she liked it, and reached out to wipe a little red oil from the corner of her mouth, Gu Banqin was aroused by her appetite, and she dipped it in chili peppers and ate it wildly.

Helian Hongyiwu poured himself a glass of soju, and seeing that Gu Banqin was not afraid of spicy at all, he couldn't help but remind: "Can you eat so spicy?" Do you want less? ”

Gu Banqin shook his hand: "Don't, no, it's not spicy at all, it's very fragrant, I like to eat it." ”

Seeing that Helian Hongyi didn't believe it, Gu Banqin sandwiched a piece of meat, dipped it in hot sauce and sent it to Helian Hongyi's mouth, Helian Hongyi opened his mouth and bit it, and after making sure that it was not so spicy, he was relieved to let Gu Banqin continue to eat.

After a while, the braised mutton also came up, the meat was stewed quite soft, Gu Banqin bit down, there was a feeling of melting in the mouth, needless to say, continued to eat wildly, after eating, I really couldn't eat anymore, so I burped and said to Helian Hongyi:

"Why don't we have such a delicious mutton shop in Daqi?"

Helian Hongyi drank wine on the side, didn't eat much meat, and said worriedly:

"I knew you could eat it before, but I didn't expect you to be so able to eat it."

Gu Banqin was wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, and when she heard his words, she couldn't help glaring at him, and then said to Xiao Er: "Cut me two more two-catty mutton, I'll take it away, and give me more of that dipping sauce." ”

Helian Hongyi was speechless: "Haven't eaten yet?" ”

"I'll take some back and give it to my mother. She must have never eaten such delicious mutton. ”

Gu Banqin got up, glanced at Helian Hongyi, and said, "And you, just now I was only concerned about drinking, and I was hungry at night, if I don't bring some back, I'll see what you do." ”

The fact that the second princess and the third princess were bullied on the street also set off a little storm in the palace, but it was a very small storm, because the names of the prisoners provided by the two did not match at all.

For this, Queen Chu also specially summoned Chu Xiaocheng and asked him about Zhongyitang, Chu Xiaocheng and the second princess, and after the third princess understood the situation, she also came to Gu Banqin for questioning.

Because the second princess and the third princess said that the bully guard was with Gu Banqin that day, Gu Banqin only insisted on it, and the man said that his name was Gao Feng, where he was, Gu Banqin didn't know, and said that it was the Duan family who arranged to go to the street with her to protect her, and he never appeared again after that.

After going back and forth, who the guard who beat people seemed to have become an unsolved case, Chu Xiaocheng checked the people who gave the Duan family several times, but he didn't find a person with a corresponding design.

The matter dragged on like this, and eight days later, Daqi's ceremonial driver finally arrived in the state of Chu.

In other words, Helian Hongyi finally didn't have to hide in Gu Banqin's room, and appeared justifiably.

Gu Banqin got up early in the morning and went to Duan's place, he couldn't sleep anyway, there was a lot of movement outside, this time Chu Yanzhang in order to welcome Helian Hongyi's personal arrival, the whole country rejoiced, and used an extremely huge momentum to express his welcome.

It is said that when Daqi's ceremonial procession arrived outside the capital, Chu Yanzhang set off in the palace and personally greeted the city gate, the firecrackers and drums made Gu Banqin and them hear it clearly even at home.

Duan asked Gu Banqin to cut the pattern for her, Gu Banqin sat by the window, absent-minded at all, the scissors in his hand opened and closed, Duan looked flustered, and simply went over and snatched the scissors in Gu Banqin's hand, which startled Gu Banqin: "Mother, what are you doing?" ”

"What am I doing? What are you doing? For so long, I haven't cut out a single pattern. ”

Duan's words made Gu Banqin come back to his senses, and he glanced down, and sure enough, there was no shortage of patterns in front of him, and the one on top was cut in half, hehe, he smiled, and Duan sighed:

"You! If he hadn't come to pick you up, I'd see how you'd cry then. ”

Gu Banqin didn't care: "Then if he comes to pick me up, will you go back with me?" ”

Duan was stunned by Gu Banqin's question, looked away, and did not answer.

There were only two of them in the room, so Gu Banqin didn't have to worry about anything when she spoke, and chased over to Duan Shi and asked, "Mother, answer me, if Helian Hongyi is here to pick me up, then you can also go back to Daqi with me." ”

Duan sat on the soft couch, picked up the embroidered bandage, sighed faintly, and said:

"Now that I'm back, I'm not going to go again. Also...... Can't go. ”

Gu Banqin sat next to her and wondered, "Why can't you go?" Don't you want to live a life of freedom? You came back for me before, but if Helian Hongyi and I returned to Daqi, what are you doing in Chu alone? Chu Xiaocheng can't recognize you. ”

Duan raised his eyes and looked at Gu Banqin, as if he wanted to speak and stopped, and after hesitating for a while, he replied:

"It's not as simple as you think. Chu Yanzhang won't let me go. ”

Speaking of Chu Yanzhang, Gu Banqin felt a little angry, for fear that the Duan family still had feelings for him, so he said: "Mother, don't take care of that Chu Yanzhang, I can understand it these days, he seems to care about you and his long-term relationship with him on the surface, and wants to get you back, but, for so many years, has he ever guarded you like a jade?" ”

"Don't say what the situation is not up to him, I think he is simply a flower, seemingly amorous, but in fact ruthless, such a man who hugs left and right says infatuation, isn't it ridiculous, he won't let you go, that's his own selfishness, it's the desire to conquer, he feels that there is no woman in this world that he can't conquer, he ......"

Duan interrupted Gu Banqin's chatter: "Okay, don't say it." It's not the same thing. Even if I didn't have this, he wouldn't let me go. Besides, if I go to Daqi with you, it will actually be no different from being in the Chu State. ”

Hearing this, Gu Banqin seemed to hear a little different taste.

remembered that she had asked Helian Hongyi before, and wanted to ask for an answer to Duan's body.

She always thought that Helian Hongyi wanted to ask about the situation of Chu State, but she and Helian Hongyi had been in Chu State for so many days, and it could be seen that Helian Hongyi's understanding of Chu State was not necessarily worse than that of Daqi.

Therefore, the secret that Helian Hongyi wanted to ask about the Duan clan should have nothing to do with the distribution of the situation in the Chu State, and now that he heard the Duan clan say this, Gu Banqin naturally became suspicious and wanted to ask clearly.

"Mother, what secrets do you have, Helian Hongyi is holding you, what do you want to ask you? And you said that Chu Yanzhang won't let you go, isn't it because he wants to conquer you, but also because it has something to do with the secrets on your body? ”

Duan raised his eyes and groaned, and then nodded slowly.

"What secret, can't even I tell you?" Gu Banqin asked Duan.

Duan shook his head decisively: "Naturally, even you can't say it, I'm going to tell you, it's hard to guarantee that you won't be peaceful in the future." ”

"But if you don't say it, I'm even more curious. Reveal a little bit, don't tell me the key to the secret, just remind me. ”

Gu Banqin made such a request to Duan, but Duan's attitude was resolute, and he pushed Gu Banqin away from his side: "Let's go, don't be an eyesore here." I won't tell anyone this secret, Helian Hongyi can't ask from me, and Chu Yanzhang doesn't want to ask either, I will enter the coffin with the secret, and no one will say it! ”

Gu Banqin wanted to know Duan's secret, but Duan insisted that she couldn't do anything if she didn't say it.

Duan's and Helian Hongyi are different, Duan's said not to tell Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin is useless even if he is coquettish, it is better to Helian Hongyi, thinking to himself, when he sees Helian Hongyi, grind with him, maybe Helian Hongyi can tell her a little.

Just thinking about it, there was a sound of a trombone outside, Gu Banqin leaned in front of the windowsill and looked out, the sky was blue and refreshing, the spring flowers were blooming, and the trombone sounded, which meant that Helian Hongyi had arrived.

Gu Banqin regretted a little, she knew that she would go to both sides of the road early in the morning to occupy a place, and it was better than guessing the situation at the scene in the room now by relying on her imagination.

Duan's raised his eyes and looked at Gu Banqin, sighed, and didn't know if this girl's blessing was greater than her, Duan's had always been not optimistic about the so-called imperial love, but only felt that the so-called imperial love was the most unreliable emotion in the world.

Chu Yanzhang also swore to her, she also believed it, but no matter how firm her trust was, she couldn't match his betrayal three times and twice, after the Duan family left the Chu State, he had been lurking in the northern country, being Gu Fengmao's concubine, and never thought that one day he would return to the Chu State and return to Chu Yanzhang's side.

But now that she has not only returned, but also accepted his canonization and become Mrs. Anshen of Chu State, although this bad relationship has not been reunited, she has finally compromised a little.

She thought that Gu Banqin and her should be the same, she fell in love with Helian Hongyi, and Duan thought that Helian Hongyi would be the same as Chu Yanzhang.

But now that he has come to the Chu State, although she said to Gu Banqin that Helian Hongyi may not have come for her, she understands in her heart that Helian Hongyi chose to come at this time, and ninety percent of them came for Gu Banqin.

Otherwise, he could have chosen another time, because he had this understanding in his heart, so the Duan family felt that Gu Banqin's fate might not be like her, because, at least, Helian Hongyi was very different from Chu Yanzhang.

Seeing his daughter lying in front of the window and smiling like a little nymphomaniac, Duan couldn't help but shake his head and shouted:

"If he did come to pick you up, you should leave with him in two days, right?"
