Watching the two difficult women walk away one after another, Tao Yao breathed a sigh of relief. The little face that had been forcibly stretched showed a heartfelt smile, and she looked at the man in front of her who was like her father, and her tone was full of gratitude: "Thank you Uncle Gao, if you hadn't arrived in time, I really wouldn't have been able to bear it." ”

Splashing the glass of wine aside, Gao Sheji half-bent down, raised his hand and rubbed the top of the girl's hair: "What are you doing with me so politely." Girl, you are not small, you know that their purpose is not pure, but you dare to take their wine? "I'm not sure if there's anything in there, but this kind of thing from the opponent, once touched, is gambling with his own life.

"It's not like I couldn't refuse." Tao Yao pursed her little mouth, very aggrieved. Of course, she knew that this glass of wine was not drinkable, but the situation was stronger than people.

If Gao Sheji hadn't arrived in time just now, then she would have had to play a trick in front of the two of them and pretend to drink it herself. Her third brother may not be talented enough in his studies, but he has always been first-class in his little tricks. And thanks to him, in order not to drink those bitter medicines, she once played these tricks in front of her mother, and she was not poked once. However, the scene just now was different from when she was at home, and she was very uncertain, so it was naturally great if someone could help.

"Don't underestimate these people, they're not that easy to deal with." Gao Xianzhi didn't know when he was already standing beside her, a pair of obsidian-like eyes reflecting the candle flames all over the hall, revealing a bit of coldness for no reason: "In their eyes, human life is like grass mustard, and it is the most worthless thing in the world." ”

"Okay, you kid, how can you scare people like this." slapped his son on the shoulder, and when Gao Sheji turned to Tao Yao, he smiled gently: "I still have to say hello to a few colleagues, little county lord, you can talk to Huai Jin first." ”

"Okay." Nodding, Tao Yao looked at Gao Xianzhi's overly calm expression, and inexplicably felt a little weak: "Brother Huaijin, are you angry?" He was angry because she was too bold and sloppy. Although the person in front of him looked no different from usual, she could feel the mood swings in his heart.

He wanted to be angry, but in front of her eyes, he couldn't show his temper even if he had a big temper.

Smiling helplessly, Gao Xianzhi changed a hot tea for her, and then said, "I'm just a little sorry, you can't even remember to ask me for help when you encounter something." ”

As early as when he first entered the Guanfeng Palace, he was paying attention to the situation here in Taoyao, which is why Gao Sheji could appear in such a timely manner. But this conscienceless little girl was absent-minded from the beginning, and she didn't notice that she didn't say anything, and she didn't even remember to ask him for help in the face of the unreasonable difficulties of those two. This made him involuntarily frustrated, as if in Tao Yao's heart, he was not so important, and he was not worthy of her trust and dependence.

Is it because of this? Tao Yao's eyes widened unexpectedly, and then she laughed again: "But there will always be times when I face difficulties alone, if I look for you to save the scene every time, then you must not be annoyed by me?" As she spoke, her voice lowered slightly, and she seemed a little embarrassed: "Moreover, I don't want Brother Huaijin to think that I am a burden, I can also solve many things." "Although it may seem a bit risky at times, she is by no means a lamb to the slaughter, and even if she loses all her protection, she has the ability to protect herself.

"No matter when I die, it will not be a burden to me." Smiling slightly, Gao Xianzhi's eyes were gentle, and the little man in his pupils was also extremely delicate. On the contrary, she is the driving force for him to move forward, no matter how hard he works, he hopes that he can be strong enough to stand in front of her whenever and wherever she is, shielding her from the wind and rain. The girl in his heart can always be the most precious peony in the garden.

Anytime not? Tao Yao pursed her lips, maybe. But she is the little county lord of Yongwang's Mansion, as long as she is in Shendu for a day, she will never allow herself to be the weakness of her parents and brothers, and Uncle Gao and Brother Huaijin are the same. Princess Taiping is right, since she has been born in this family, she has no choice but to live in her own way. And her way has nothing to do with others.

"Fortunately, we're about to leave here, and there will be no more distractions in the future." Seeing that her complexion was wrong, Gao Xianzhi consciously changed the topic. However, thinking of Li Bao'er's appearance of leaving just now, he couldn't help frowning again: "I always feel that the appearance of the county lord of Anle is a little strange......"

"Huh? Are you saying she's interested in Uncle Gao? In the end, it is still a child's heart, as soon as he said this, Tao Yao showed an extremely narrow smile.

Gao Xianzhi's biological mother died early, and Gao Sheji didn't stand still, coupled with his handsome description, respected status, and reputation as the first beauty in the gods, it was not surprising that he hit him with the idea. Moreover, since Wu Cao's accession to the throne, the women of this dynasty have been subject to a lot less constraints, and among the nobles of the clan, there are no one or two lovers who can take it. Even Princess Taiping is not exempt from vulgarity, let alone poor and extravagant people like Li Bao'er? It's just that Gao Sheji may not cooperate with her.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Gao Xianzhi found that he was getting more and more helpless to deal with her: "You just want her to have something to do with my family?" "Let my father be Li Bao'er's guest in the curtain...... Tsk, it's scary to think about.

"I'm just talking about things." Giggling, Tao Yao winked innocently: "Moreover, I know that Uncle Gao will definitely not agree." "He is such a clean and self-conscious person, if he really values women, then he should have continued as early as Gao Xianzhi when he was young. But in order to understand his son's feelings, he pushed away countless family affairs sent to the door. How could such a heroic man who stands up to the sky and the earth look down on such a wanton and unscrupulous style as Li Bao'er? I'm afraid that it will be disgusting if it is contaminated at all.

"That's true." I don't know if it's good or bad that she's so sensitive in this regard, Gao Xianzhi sighed, and still told her the old things one by one: "Not long after my mother died of illness, matchmakers came to the door one after another to say goodbye to my father. The candidates include many famous ladies in the Divine Capital, not to mention, among them, there is also the name of this Anle County Lord. Later, my father said that he had been walking in the army all the year round and had no intention of delaying others, so the matter came to an end. After that, the county lord of Anle was also ordered to marry Wu Chongxun, the king of Gaoyang County. ”

"And that kind of thing." Half-holding her cheeks, Tao Yao listened fascinated: "But the crown prince and the crown princess would actually allow their daughter-in-law to be a general's stepfamily, this is too inconsistent with the identity, right?" ”

"The county lord of Anle was born on the way when the prince was demoted to the king of Luling, it is said that the conditions were extremely difficult at that time, and the princess Wei could not even prepare for swaddling, so the prince had to tear off his clothes and wrap the baby, which is also the origin of the name of the lord of Anle." Gao Xianzhi looked around the lively hall and found that no one was paying attention to their direction, so he continued: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels ashamed of this daughter-in-law, so he has been very tolerant of her since she was a child. And later, the county lord of Anle was unusually beautiful again, and she was known as the first beauty, and the prince and the princess were even more fond of her, even if she wanted the moon in the sky, there was nothing wrong with it, not to mention that she just wanted to marry someone she liked. ”

In this way, it is simply another princess of Taiping. Tao Yao scolded a sentence, and then remembered that Gao Xianzhi seemed to be taken away from the topic by herself: "You just said that she looks very strange?" What's weird? ”

"I think she walked too simply." Normal people are blocked from retaliating with personal grudges, and they will be more or less unwilling, right? Li Jijiang is a good example, but as a legendary person who is extremely domineering, Li Bao'er left very chic. It is so chic that it seems that all the threats and methods before are just a farce, and it always gives people a sense of déjà vu of thunder and rain.

"Well, I feel the same way. Even if she meets someone she likes, she won't just retreat. With Li Bao'er's character, Gao Sheji's maintenance should add fuel to the fire, making her so resentful that she wants to tear herself up, how could she sell face to him, and then leave her sister on her own? This kind of behavior is really abnormal.

Just thinking about it, Tao Yao suddenly felt a palpitation. Without warning, it was menacing, so that she subconsciously covered her heart.

How, how did it suddenly become so uncomfortable? She seemed to be a little out of breath......

"Xiao'er, what's wrong with you? Is there something uncomfortable? In just a few breaths, the girl in front of her turned pale and sweated on her forehead. Gao Xianzhi hurriedly supported her, and cut her pulse with one hand to see a thing or two.

"Wai...... Brother Huai Jin's ...... clenched his sleeves, Tao Yao's throat was tight, and he was almost speechless: "I...... I'm so uncomfortable......"

"Yao'er, Xiao'er, you hold on, I'll go find you a doctor!" Gao Xianzhi only had time to say this, and the next moment, the girl who was still talking and laughing with him lay on the table and didn't move anymore.

"Young!"
