Chapter 161: Preparation
"The crown prince of the Song Kingdom?" Gu Liyi took two sips of tea and paused. She raised her eyes to look at Shen Qingqing, with a slight trace of doubt and uncertainty in her tone, and that confusion was fleeting. After she asked, she paused, and when she turned her eyes to look at Gu Mingxiu, the doubt disappeared.
Gu Mingxiu picked up the teacup and took two sips slowly, and glanced back at Gu Liyi: "Huh? ”
Not paying attention to the interaction between the two sisters, Shen Qingqing raised his hand on the table, and said unconcernedly: "You originally sent me a message saying that you went to Qingcheng Mountain for treatment first, and Tingting came to tell me that you rarely write letters and exchanges, I am afraid that it is a little difficult to treat the disease, so you probably don't know that this is also the reason why the general's mansion came back this time." ”
Shen Qingqing sighed: "The relationship between Song Guo and Da Shen may not be so dangerous, but my father said that Song Guo's movements have been a bit big recently, and I think there is something different." She raised her eyes to look at Gu Mingxiu, and her voice was slightly heavy, "The General's Mansion was recalled, just to prevent this. King Xiao and the General's Mansion are the two strictest lines of defense in Da Shen, and you ....."
Shen Qingqing paused, Gu Mingxiu's expression did not change in the slightest, but Gu Liyi was scared by her so much, unconsciously clenched the teacup, and said nervously: "That, what does that have to do with Sister Xiu?" Sister embroidery does not participate in the ...... of government politics"
I don't know if I thought of the things in my previous life, Gu Liyi's words trembled slightly, with a little uncertainty, and when he looked at Gu Mingxiu, he was a little uneasy and dazed. Her tone was lower, as if she was faintly a little weak-hearted, Shen Qingqing glanced at her, but she didn't think much about it.
Chin chuckled, Shen Qingqing said: "It should have nothing to do with your embroidery sister, but in the eyes of others, it may not be." The general's mansion and King Xiao have two lines of defense, King Xiao and Shen Huai, not to mention it for the time being. ”
The name that was mentioned again didn't teach Gu Liyi any thoughts, but when she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Gu Mingxiu with worry, she saw that when the name was mentioned, the fingers of the girl who had always been shallow and peaceful holding the teacup trembled slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled a little involuntarily, as if she had hidden some emotions that were difficult to calm down.
Gu Liyi was slightly stunned.
"But the General's Mansion now favors your embroidery sister, which is almost a well-known thing in Yangzhou." Shen Qingqing didn't pay attention to the two of them, but just said slowly, "If Song Guo has a different intention, then I am afraid that how much of this coming is on the General's Mansion and King Xiao." King Xiao is this person.... It's elusive, and there's no handle to it, so the General's Mansion is different. Now that Xiao Xiu'er is in the limelight, what if the prince of Song Kingdom has the heart to get closer? ”
"Ah........?" Gu Liyi opened her mouth, remembering that the suave young master Lin in Jing Zhou couldn't help but close her mouth again when she was in Jing Zhou's various courteous actions towards her sister's embroidery, silently glanced at Gu Mingxiu, and then looked at Shen Qingqing silently, and said silently in his heart that person had already begun to get close, where else did he need to be afraid.....
They had different thoughts, but Gu Mingxiu seemed to be talking about not her: "What's the matter, I'm not afraid of his behavior, if he doesn't have any thoughts, then it will be regretful....." A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Gu Mingxiu's lips, with a hint of indifference, "Besides, the prince of the Song Kingdom is here, I'm afraid he may not have the energy to put his mind on me, maybe ..... The minds of others are also in him. ”
Gu Liyi was stunned, and asked a little confused: "Who....?" Shen Yang? ”
But with a smile and a silent glance at his sister's confused appearance, Gu Mingxiu said softly: "Shen Yang will naturally come into contact with the prince of Song Kingdom, but he doesn't dare to expose his ambitions so openly. But there are some people.... But not necessarily. ”
Shen Qingqing immediately understood, and said with a sneer: "Yes, the prince of Song Kingdom is a powerful figure in the end, naturally someone will not let him go in vain." Fingertips lightly swiped across the table, and Shen Qingqing's eyes were a little sarcastic, "That talented woman who is 'famous in Yangzhou' naturally wants to show off her limelight, and she can't wait for all the men in the world to kneel in front of her, and it is best to admire herself." ”
If she taught others to hear this, they would be more or less surprised, but the people in the courtyard seemed to have long been used to it.
Gu Liyi also reacted at this moment: "What you are talking about... Gu Changge? She looked at Shen Qingqing's disdainful gaze and Gu Mingxiu's slightly smiling gaze, and couldn't help but feel a little incredulous, "But, but Shen Yang is not already with Gu Changge..... So how dare Gu Changge ....."
"Why wouldn't she dare?" Gu Mingxiu asked rhetorically, the smile on her lips contained a little indifference, Gu Mingxiu said, "Now that Shen Yang is not as good as before, Gu Qingyuan is very dissatisfied in his heart, if Gu Changge's mind changes, then Gu Qingyuan may not support her." For Gu Qingyuan, it doesn't matter who the person who takes refuge is, as long as Gu Changge can be made the queen, whether it is Da Shen or Song Guo, there is no difference. ”
Her words were very cold, and there was a slight hint of complex emotions in her tone.
Stunned, Gu Liyi looked at her worriedly: "Then should we also take precautions against Gu Changge....?" ”
"Prevent her from doing anything." Gu Mingxiu took away that indifference, lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, and when he raised his eyes again, he smiled a little faintly, gentle and calm, and his tone was soft, "Didn't Gu Xiaodie say that we didn't care about sisterhood and embarrassed them everywhere." This time, we will help our 'second sister' who is 'thinking about us' everywhere and fulfill her idea. ”
Mo said Gu Liyi, Rao is Shen Qingqing was also stunned: "What do you mean?" Xiao Xiu'er, do you want to push Gu Changge and the prince of Song Kingdom? She frowned slightly, disapproving, "Don't you know who Gu Changge is?" If you expect her to be able to make Shen Yang ...... the crown prince of the Song Kingdom," Shen Qingqing paused and sighed, "What are you thinking?" ”
Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly: "Soon, you will know." ”
Shen Qingqing didn't know the situation, but he didn't continue.
The few of them talked for a while, and then Shen Qingqing said goodbye and left.
After Shen Qingqing left, there were two sisters Gu Mingxiu left in the courtyard. Gu Liyi casually bit the pastry brought by Mozhu, and looked at Gu Mingxiu's quiet side face as if worried, looking a little uneasy. After being silent for a moment, Gu Liyi asked with determination: "Sister embroidery..... Can I can, can I .... Ask me about you and Shen and Xiao Wang? ”
As she could see, the girl who had just picked up the teacup almost spilled it. However, she only quickly stabilized, took a sip quietly, and said softly: "You can ask whatever you want." With a slight smile in his eyes, Gu Mingxiu said, "I saw that you were restless earlier, and I was still thinking about what you were worried about, it turned out.... I wanted to ask about it. ”
"Hmm", Gu Liyi bit his lip and said, "I haven't seen His Royal Highness King Xiao come to look for you in the past few days, he... His people have never appeared again, Sister Xiu, you went to see His Royal Highness King Xiao that day, did something happen? ”
Gu Mingxiu put down the teacup and didn't look at her, her tone was full of gentleness and calmness: "Yiyi, today we need to rely on ourselves to complete what we want to do, and we can't think about relying on the strength of others." His Royal Highness King Xiao and us, in the end, are two people, don't ask him for news in the future, you must be careful after all.... It's just a matter of avoiding people's eyes and ears. ”
Gu Liyi bit her lip and said slowly: "Sister Xiu, it has nothing to do with those. I... It's not these that I want to ask you.,I know you have ideas about these things.,What I want to ask is.,Sister embroidery.... What the hell are you and His Royal Highness King Xiao... You, what kind of feelings do you have for His Royal Highness King Xiao? ”
The wind gently picked up the girl's delicate skirt. The fallen leaves fluttered one after another, Gu Liyi looked at Gu Mingxiu with a nervous and worried face, and looked at the girl holding her fingertips holding the teacup for a moment of silence, and then said slowly: "Shen Huai and I, from the beginning, there is no possibility. ”
Her voice was clear, faint, drifting in the wind.
Sure enough, as Shen Qingqing said, the news that Gu Changge specially asked someone to spread did not circulate in Yangzhou for too long. The news of the Song envoy soon set off a storm in Yangzhou City, and the people were slightly panicked, and from time to time they had to go to the gate of the General's Mansion to walk around, and then they were slightly relieved.
On the day of the arrival of the crown prince of the Song Kingdom, it was very lively. Gu Mingxiu didn't go out, and invited An Ting to his yard, and specially cooked some pastries by himself. An Ting was very surprised, he was very surprised to see Gu Mingxiu in the small kitchen, thinking about it and being afraid of helping, he had to help Gu Liyi with no match.
After waiting for the pastries to come out of the pot and slow down some time, Gu Mingxiu estimated that General An and the others would come back from the court soon, so he asked Mozhu to invite An Li and the others to come over and have a meal together.
Mo Zhu soon came back, and whispered in Gu Mingxiu's ear: "General, they are back, and the slave maid saw that the general's face was very ugly from afar, as if he had lost his temper. The two young masters were also very angry, and a few people came and walked very quickly, and they didn't know what was going on. ”
Gu Mingxiu said "um", instructed Mu Lan to put up the pastries made on the side, and casually instructed Mo Zhu: "You go and tell Agarwood, what I want her to do, you can inquire now." ”
"Yes." Mo Zhu blessed his body, and then turned around and went down.
When An Li came with Xu's family, Gu Mingxiu happened to bring out all the finished pastries. An Li looked at the table of delicacies, and his face was slightly surprised: "When Xiu'er learned to make this, I don't even know at all." ”
"Sister Xiu used to always like to read some recipes when she had nothing to do, and no one cooked in Qingcheng Mountain for a few days, so Sister Xiu learned to make some by herself." Gu Liyi didn't wait for Gu Mingxiu to answer, so he quickly and naturally said this passage, as if he had been prepared for a long time.
Gu Mingxiu smiled without saying a word, just lowered her eyes and smiled lightly: in the past, she wanted to learn to be a good lady and cook for that person to taste. It's just that although the other party was smiling, he gently told her that as the crown princess, there was no need to do this.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
