Chapter 221: Concentric Locks
Gu Jiuge sighed: "Today and last year, the situation is very different. ”
Now that the Jiang family has been removed, her mother's revenge has also been avenged, Gu Qinglai has been much more honest since she married Xuan Lang, and she has not shown up for a long time since Jiang's death, Xu is too sad. Now, Gu Jiuge's life is very stable, and the people around her seem to be getting better and better, so she doesn't need to worry about it.
Every time she thinks about it, she thinks that it's not bad to go through it all over again.
"What do you think?" Mu Liang flicked her forehead and asked softly.
Gu Jiuge said with a smile: "I'm wondering, has the misunderstanding between Nantian and Huiqiu been solved?" I'm wondering, has Qian'er thought about it? I am thinking, my brother and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess ......"
Before she finished speaking, she was suddenly pulled into her arms by Mu Liang's long arms. She felt Mu Liang burying her head in her hair, her voice gentle, but with a bit of resentment.
"Do you think I'm okay?" He whispered in Gu Jiuge's ear, quite aggrieved.
Gu Jiuge smiled, hugged him, and asked, "You are by my side, what do you want you to do?" ”
Mu Liang let go of her, held her shoulders, stared at her eyes, and said seriously word by word: "You should think about when you are willing to marry me." ”
Gu Jiuge was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I heard that the ring in the east of the city has been placed, if you can get the concentric lock and give it to me, I will marry tomorrow!" ”
Mu Liang leaned forward slightly, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and said, "This is what you said!" After speaking, he pulled her and ran to the east of the city, and Ren Gu Jiuge didn't listen to anything.
Not long after the two of them left, they happened to see Zhao Qianqian coming from another street, Zhao Qianqian saw Gu Jiuge at a glance, trotted up all the way, and threw herself into Gu Jiuge's arms.
Gu Jiuge was pounced on by her like this, and took several steps back in a row, almost falling down.
"How old you are, you still look like a child." Gu Jiuge pinched her face and pretended to reprimand.
Seeing Mu Liang beside her, Zhao Qianqian stood out of Gu Jiuge's arms with a smile, after all, Mu Liang was a person who didn't even want Zhao Bingye to call Gu Jiuge's name.
Gu Jiuge's gaze crossed Zhao Qianqian and landed on Xuan Yue behind her, as if she had thought of something, and the smile on her face suddenly brightened.
"The sachet on the waist of the fifth prince is very familiar." As Gu Jiuge spoke, she didn't forget to look at Zhao Qianqian who was standing next to her with her spare eyes, and she said with a smile: "This seems to be Qian'er's technique." ”
In a word, Zhao Qianqian's face was so red that she could drip blood. Holding Gu Jiuge's arm, he tried his best to be coquettish. Since Xuanyue asked Mu Yao for marriage that day, Zhao Qianqian didn't think about anything when she went back, and it only took three days to embroider this sachet.
Thinking about it, Xuan Yue should be able to understand her thoughts.
"Cousin, where are you going?" Zhao Qianqian opened the topic.
Mu Liang preemptively said: "Go and fight, take the concentric lock, and marry the princess." ”
What he said was very brief, one sentence from east to west, which made Zhao Qianqian very confused. Gu Jiuge glanced at him helplessly, just now she just said it casually, Mu Liang actually took it seriously.
"I don't know what the prince means." Zhao Qianqian scratched her head and said, "But it sounds very interesting to me, cousin, take me along." ”
"Okay, someone is watching, lest she cheat."
After speaking, Mu Liang looked at Gu Jiuge and smiled gently, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
A group of four people walked to the ring in the east of the city, but it happened that Gu Lisheng also took Mu Wanyu to that side, but Mu Wanyu walked for a long time tonight, and her face gradually showed tiredness. He wanted to send Gu Lisheng back, but Mu Wanyu said that he wanted to go and see the ring.
The six of them met in the ring, looked at each other for a moment, and then laughed.
There are already people in the ring who are challenged, but the wheel is spinning very fast, and it is difficult to shoot, not to mention that it is even more difficult to find the flower ball with concentric locks hidden in the twelve flower balls.
Zhao Qianqian stood under the stage, looking at the three contestants above, the arrow went off the string, she nervously grabbed Xuanyue's arm, and after seeing the arrow miss, she couldn't help but sigh with some pity. She looked at it seriously, as if she was participating in it herself.
"Do you want it?" Xuan Yue looked at her and asked softly, Zhao Qianqian smiled and nodded vigorously.
Xuan Yue's eyes were full of pampering, and she said, "Okay." ”
Mu Liang, who was standing next to him, heard this, his eyes darkened by three points, he was running for this concentric lock, how could he let others shoot, even his own nephew!
Here, Gu Lisheng saw Mu Wanyu staring at the ring, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and he also made up his mind to shoot down the concentric lock.
Just as he was thinking, a figure squeezed in from the crowd and happened to rest beside him and Mu Wanyu. Mu Wanyi was suddenly pushed by someone, and her feet were unstable and she leaned back, Gu Lisheng hurriedly reached out to help, which stabilized her.
After stabilizing Mu Wanyu, Gu Lisheng took a closer look and found that the person who came was Gu Qingwei.
"Where did the big brother go, Wei'er waited for a long time and didn't see you come back." Gu Qingwei grabbed Gu Lisheng's arm and complained.
Gu Lisheng patted her hand and said softly: "I happened to meet Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, so I accompanied Her Royal Highness to play for a while." ”
Mu Wanyu stood to the side, watching his brother and sister talking and laughing.
She tilted her head slightly, thinking in her heart: Gu Lisheng seems to be so gentle and careful to everyone.
Gu Qingwei still didn't let go, glanced back at Mu Wanyu, blessed slightly, and said with a smile: "The courtiers have seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”
"Miss Gu is polite, there is no need to be polite outside."
After Mu Wanyu finished speaking, his gaze moved downward, and fell on Gu Qingwei's hand holding him, and he quickly moved away. Gu Lisheng sensed that something was wrong, pulled out his hand, stood beside Mu Wanyi, and said, "This is my third sister, Gu Qingwei." ”
Mu Wanyu just chuckled when she heard this, but didn't say anything.
As soon as such a fuss came out, the three people in the ring had already finished shooting the arrows in their hands, but looking at their dejected appearances, the result could be imagined.
"Is there anyone else to challenge?" The people in the ring looked at the crowd and asked loudly.
Mu Liang's eyes lit up, his toes were a little bit, and he flew into the ring. Seeing this, Xuan Yue and Gu Lisheng also followed, and the three of them stood in the ring, which immediately caused a commotion.
Mu Liang glanced at the two of them and said, "Ge'er said, if this king gets this concentric lock, he will agree to marry me." At this point, the threat was clear.
Hearing this, Xuan Yue bowed to Mu Liang and said, "Uncle Huang, each has its own secrets, and I have offended." ”
Gu Lisheng also smiled: "Please forgive the prince for the crime of rudeness." ”
The three of them looked at each other and stood, and with the sound of a gong, the three of them drew their bows and arrows neatly, pulled their bows and arrows, and aimed at the rotating turntable in front of them. Mu Liang fired the arrow first, Xuan Yue followed, Gu Lisheng suddenly changed direction, aimed the tip of the arrow at the tail of Mu Liang's arrow, said that it was too late, and then it was fast, only to see Mu Liang's arrow was split in mid-air, and the remnant arrow fell to the ground, and some of them also broke Xuan Yue's arrow.
For the first time, the three arrows didn't even hit the target.
Mu Liang took a deep breath, and secretly persuaded himself in his heart, "This is Gu Jiuge's elder brother, my brother, I can't move, I can't move!" After doing a long period of psychological construction, Mu Liang pulled out the second arrow.
And the result, the same as the first time.
For the last time, all three of them shot arrows at the same time. This time, all three of them stared at the rotating target, carefully judging which flower ball had a concentric lock behind it.
Just then, a gust of wind blew. Gu Lisheng's eyes lit up, he aimed at a flower ball and let go of his hand, and the arrow from the string flew quickly and firmly stuck on the flower ball. The flower bulb burst open, and everyone looked closely, and a concentric lock hung wobly from the arrow.
"Good!"
There was a burst of cheers under the ring, and the person in the ring ordered someone to take off the concentric lock and send it to Gu Lisheng, and said with a smile: "This son is really heroic. ”
Gu Lisheng took the concentric lock and smiled at Mu Liang and Xuan Yue: "Thank you for the mercy of the prince and the Fifth Highness!" ”
Mu Liang was like a child who had lost sugar, and flew out of the ring with a gloomy face and returned to Gu Jiuge's side.
Gu Lisheng walked off the stage and waved his hand lightly at Mu Wanyi, with a smug and happy look on his face, as if he was showing off something to Mu Wanyi.
Mu Wanyu chuckled in response to him and nodded secretly.
After Gu Li was born, Gu Qingwei stepped forward before Mu Wanyu and said with a smile: "Big brother is so powerful, this concentric lock is so beautiful, is the big brother going to give it to me?" She smiled innocently and delicately.
Mu Wanyu, who was following her, was stunned, and the steps she had just raised were put down again, and she didn't step forward again.
Gu Lisheng chuckled and touched her hair, and patiently coaxed: "Don't make trouble, this is a concentric lock, I am your brother, how can I give you a concentric lock!" His voice was a little high, as if he had deliberately said it to Mu Wanyi.
"It's okay, the big brother doesn't have a sweetheart now, and Fen'er really likes this concentric lock, my brother loves me the most on weekdays, so he will follow me." Gu Qingwei took his arm and began to be coquettish, and everyone looked at it and praised his brother and sister for their deep affection.
"No." Gu Lisheng's voice was a little stern, he had never spoken to Gu Qingwei like this. After that, he walked towards Mu Wanyu, handed the concentric lock to her, and said, "Your Highness has been saying that this concentric lock is interesting, so I will give it to Your Highness." ”
His eyes were fixed on Mu Wanyi, and his eyes flashed with a sparkle of anticipation.
Looking at the concentric lock lying in his hand, the smile on the corner of Mu Wanyi's mouth slowly sank, and when he looked up again, his eyes returned to normal.
"Miss Gu San is right, this concentric lock is given to my sweetheart, and I can't accept it. Thank you Gu Gongzi, I'm very happy tonight. Mu Wanyi looked at him and said with a chuckle, but never looked at the concentric lock again.
"Your Highness, I ......"
"I was a little tired from playing today, and there was some cool breeze, and my head hurt a little, so I went back first. Gu Gongzi, you have fun. Mu Wanyi forcibly interrupted him, said goodbye to everyone, and then helped Yunwei to leave.
