"My lord, Mr. Cui Jiuling Cui handed over the name sticker and came to visit the adult."

"Oh, this is a rare guest, please let him in."

More than a month has passed since the hunting in Nanshan, and because the weather is getting warmer, even Qingjue's body has slowly recovered. On this day, the sun was just right. After lunch, Lian Qingjue was lighting orchid incense in the pavilion, plucking the yaoqin on the table at will. After a while, I saw Lian Pu leading a man in a pink brocade robe, with a delicate face but a bit of heroism between his eyebrows.

"Cui Jiuling, see your lord."

"Mr. Cui, please take a seat."

Lian Pu bowed and retreated, Lian Qingjue glanced at Cui Jiuling, but he didn't say much, and his subordinates didn't stop, and the distant and ethereal sound of the piano continued to leak out from under him.

"My lord, Jiu Ling is here, and I have something to ask for."

Knowing that Lian Qingjue was waiting for him to speak, Cui Jiuling bowed and said.

"Mr. Cui just spoke."

Lian Qingjue stroked the strings with his hand, and the sound disappeared instantly, leaving only the chirping of birds on the branches.

"Yesterday, someone from the palace said that the emperor asked me to enter the palace tomorrow to sing."

"Oh? Your Hongxi class is famous all over Yu country, you should have thought of such a day. ”

Lian Qingjue gathered the light cloak on his body and said.

"I know that there will be such a day, if it is just singing, why should Jiu Ling naturally scruple about it, but the emperor ...... him"

Cui Jiuling seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and halfway through speaking, she bit her lip and stood there.

"Then I don't know what I can do to help Mr."

understood what Cui Jiuling meant, and Lian Qingjue said.

"The emperor's order, I and other civilians dare not disobey, but my lord, you have a great friendship with the emperor, after singing, please protect Jiuling and retreat."

"Oh? Except for the fifteenth, there should be no intersection between us, how can Mr. Cui think that I will help you? ”

Lian Qingjue raised his head and stared at Cui Jiuling.

"I ......"

Cui Jiuling looked at Lian Qingjue, and her amorous eyes were full of grievances and unwillingness.

"Lian never makes a loss-making business, if I help you and annoy the emperor, the emperor will naturally blame me, so why should I do it?"

lifted the teapot on the stove beside him, poured a cup of hot tea leisurely, and said to Qingjue.

"Even the adults have a point."

Knowing that Lian Qingjue had no intention of helping himself, a trace of disappointment and sadness flashed in Cui Jiuling's eyes, and then, Cui Jiuling bowed and said, "It's Jiuling who is reckless, take your leave." ”

"Mr. Cui, let's go."

Seeing that the pink figure disappeared after turning the corridor, Lian Qingjue slowly tasted the tea in the cup, smiling lightly.

Thinking that he Lian Qingjue has never been a sentimental and soft-hearted person, this Cui Jiuling really found the wrong person this time.

……

"If you're not in good health, why are you sitting in this tuyere again?"

After song, it's already sunset. Gu Caizhi walked into the garden and saw that in the pavilion not far away, Lian Qingjue's thin body was wrapped in a wide white cloak, sitting there quietly, brushing the strings with his hands.

"Master Gu is here?"

Hearing the sound, Lian Qingjue just turned his head to look at the person, then turned his head and continued to pluck the strings under his hand.

"It seems that my body is indeed a lot better."

Walking into the pavilion and sitting down, Gu Caizhi looked at the obviously rosy cheeks of the person in front of him, and said.

"Haha, I'm not a boudoir girl, how can I be so delicate."

Lian Qingjue smiled, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Gu Caizhi.

"This afternoon, Cui Jiuling came to look for you?"

After being silent for a moment, Gu Caizhi took a sip of tea with residual warmth and said.

"yes."

Lian Qingjue nodded.

"What's the matter?"

Gu Caizhi put down the cup and frowned slightly.

"Hehe, why does Master Gu care so much about Mr. Cui? He only came in the afternoon, you know? ”

Lian Qingjue raised his hands and said with a smile.

"What is the matter with him coming to you?"

Gu Caizhi stared at Lian Qingjue and frowned.

"The emperor asked him to go to the palace to sing tomorrow, but he was afraid that the emperor had other intentions for him, so he wanted me to help him, so that he could get out of the palace tomorrow."

It could be seen that Gu Caizhi seemed to be a little angry, and even Qing Jue stopped teasing him and explained.

"The emperor ...... to him Don't have any intentions? ”

Gu Caizhi was puzzled.

"Heh, on the fifteenth, didn't you see the emperor's eyes on him? But I like it tightly. ”

Even Qingjue's smile deepened, "But this Cui Jiuling is also strange, it stands to reason that he can be favored by the emperor, who is not grateful to Dade?" But he wasn't happy. ”

"That'...... If the emperor takes a fancy to you, will you also be grateful to Dade? ”

Hearing this, Gu Caizhi's brows, which were gradually relaxed, couldn't help but tighten together again.

"Hahaha, Gu Caizhi, you won't be ...... I'm jealous. ”

Seeing the change in Gu Caizhi's expression, it wasn't until this moment that Lian Qingjue understood why he repeatedly asked Cui Jiuling about it.

"Inexplicable."

Gu Caizhi glared at Lian Qingjue, picked up the cup again, and took a sip of tea.

"Hahaha."

Looking at Gu Caizhi's obvious desire to cover up, even Qing Jue's eyes narrowed into a slit, but he might as well suddenly choke on a mouthful of saliva into his throat, and coughed with his head down.

"You ......"

Gu Caizhi resisted the urge to splash the tea in his hand on Lian Qingjue's face, put down the cup and stood up, patting Lian Qingjue's back a little hard.

"You...... cough cough cough ...... I'm afraid you're going to take advantage of it...... Cough...... Kill me, hahaha...... Ahem......"

Feeling the strength on his back, Lian Qingjue smiled even more happily.

"Childe, Childe, are you okay?"

Xu heard the movement in the garden, and Lian Pu hurriedly ran over, but saw his son-in-law coughing and laughing uncontrollably, while Master Gu stood beside his son-in-law with a cold face as usual, but his hand kept patting his son's back.

"It's okay...... Ahem...... Uncle Park, go down. ”

"Yes."

Hesitantly looked at his son-in-law, and saw that there was indeed nothing wrong with him, although Lian Pu was full of doubts, he still slowly left.

"Enough laughing, haven't you been?"

Hearing that the person beside him was still laughing, Gu Caizhi withdrew his hand and stood up, just staring at the person who was trembling slightly from laughter without saying a word.

"Hahaha, no."

Lian Qingjue looked up at Gu Caizhi. However, about just now coughing and laughing, at this time, Lian Qingjue's eyes were full of tears, and his cheeks were unusually ruddy, and he actually had a seductive charm that he didn't usually have.

"You ......"

Looking at Lian Qingjue's appearance, Gu Caizhi couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

"How am I?"

Lian Qingjue didn't feel any different from usual at all, and said with a smile.

"You ......"

This time, it was Lian Qingjue's turn to be stunned. Because he didn't expect it, Gu Caizhi suddenly leaned down, and his warm lips gently fell on his lips.

"Ahem."

With a gentle kiss, Gu Caizhi quickly got up and coughed lightly, as if to hide his nervousness.

"It's ...... It's the second time. ”

Lian Qingjue came back to his senses, touched the corners of his lips, and said.

“……”

Gu Caizhi was silent.

"I didn't expect you to look wooden and cold, but you like to take the initiative so much."

Lian Qingjue continued.

"It's getting late, I'm ...... Went first. ”

Gu Caizhi only felt irrepressible pleasure in his heart at this moment, but he was also a little nervous, and before the words fell, he had already walked out of the pavilion.

And Lian Qingjue was sitting there, but he was thinking about Gu Caizhi's expression before he left just now, just now, he seemed to smile? Although it was fleeting, Lian Qingjue was sure that he was absolutely not mistaken, the person who always had a face that no one would approach on weekdays, actually smiled!
