Chapter 16 Birthday Gifts
"Slave, welcome to the prince."
"Concubine, welcome to the prince."
"Get up!"
Yan Ze didn't have anything to do here, but he heard that Gu Qing was here, so he came over to take a look, but he didn't expect such a large group of people to be there.
"Lord Wang, it's a coincidence that you came, these sisters are here today." Gu Ning handed Yan Ze a cup of tea.
Yan Ze took it, "What are you talking about?" I heard your voices outside. ”
"I didn't say anything, didn't I say it before, your birthday, my lord, is coming, and the concubines will take their sisters to discuss here. I thought that my sisters might not have made new clothes for a long time, so I thought about stopping by and doing it together. ”
Yan Ze secretly glanced at Gu Qing, who was staring at him intently, this girl was not ashamed, staring at the man, but Yan Ze was still very satisfied in his heart. At least, it proves that this girl really likes him.
"How's your discussion?"
Gu Ning replied: "Didn't you send someone over just now, Lord Wang, and said that this birthday banquet would be held simply?" The concubine thought that since it was a family banquet, why not hold it in the courtyard, you can enjoy the flowers and enjoy the food. It's good to call two more singers and sing the song. ”
Yan Ze is very satisfied with Gu Ning's arrangement, the princess does things, Yan Ze has always been at ease, "Then do it according to your arrangement." If you need anything, just tell Liang Kai and let him assist you. ”
"Yes, lord."
As soon as Yan Ze finished speaking, he shook to the side, yawning and touching Gu Qing, who was touching her stomach, it seemed that this girl was hungry.
"Princess, it's not too early for this king to see the sky, so I will tell everyone to eat together."
"Yes, my lord, the concubine will order to go down." I always thought that there were many people eating this time, and everyone's tastes were different, so it took time to arrange.
By the time the meal really started, Gu Qing was already hungry and had no strength, and his whole person was loose.
"Look, Gu Qing, this girl, it seems that she is hungry, she is almost ready, and she will eat immediately." Gu Ning beckoned to Gu Qing, and Gu Qing leaned over obediently.
"Mother, I'm so hungry!" Gu Qing, who is hungry, can be coquettish to anyone.
Gu Ning couldn't stand Gu Qing's soft and glutinous voice, and directly hit her heart. Sure enough, both the princess and the prince are voice-controlled.
Gu Qing nodded obediently and waited on the side.
"Mother, it's time to eat."
"yes, got it." Gu Ning nodded and said to Yan Ze. "Lord Wang, let's go to dinner!"
"Hmm."
This side starts to do nothing, and there are rules for seats in the palace, and not anyone can sit in any position. The location is also divided into good and bad, the closest to the prince and princess is of course the best, you can serve closely, and the far away ones are of course some nameless and silent.
"Qingqing come over and sit next to this king."
"Oh." Gu Qing didn't know anything about this, just thinking that Yan Ze was calling her over, so she honestly went over and sat next to each other, not noticing at all that some of the people around her were red-eyed.
Some of the self-aware ones also sit honestly in the farthest position, and the rest are either high-status or thick-skinned to squeeze in front.
Xiao Qingqing saw that the position next to the prince had been preempted by Gu Qing, so she had no choice but to turn around and sit next to Gu Ning, squeezing out the person who was thinking about sitting next to Gu Ning.
Yiren clenched the handkerchief in his hand, gritted his teeth, walked to Gu Qing's side, and sat down.
Gu Ning, who saw everything in his eyes, didn't speak, just pretended not to see it, and continued to talk to Gu Qing about what he didn't have.
Because it was a meal at the princess's side, the dishes on the table were extraordinarily rich, at least the dishes that Gu Qing usually couldn't see. Let's take that meat as an example, there are seven or eight kinds, and Gu Qing drooled.
"It's not too early, let's all do it." Yan Ze took the lead in opening the dish, and the others saw that Yan Ze had already picked up the dish, so they dared to do it.
Gu Qing couldn't wait to clip a piece of braised pork, but before he could take it out of the plate, he was pressed by Yan Ze's chopsticks.
"This stuff is too greasy for you to eat." Knowing that Gu Qing couldn't control his mouth, Yan Ze was glad that he stopped Gu Qing in time, otherwise when the time came, what would he do if he had a bad stomach.
Yan Ze is the boss, since he has spoken, Gu Qing has no choice but to honestly take the chopsticks back.
Gu Qing's aggrieved expression fell in Yan Ze's eyes, "This is greasy, you can't eat it, but this light, lion head is still okay." ”
Gu Qing originally thought that Yan Ze would not allow her to eat meat, but she didn't expect him to let her eat the lion's head as soon as he changed his words.
Seeing the lion's head that the swallow gave him in the bowl, Gu Qing hurriedly picked it up with chopsticks and fed it into his mouth, well, this taste is good. Gu Qing, who has delicious food, is satisfied with everything.
After eating a dinner, only Gu Qing ate the most, and the rest of the people either had a bad appetite, or they didn't dare to eat more because of the presence of the princess and the prince, feeling that it would damage their image.
"Okay, everyone has eaten today, and the clothes have been chosen, so let's go back and rest." At dinner, the princess began to drive people away.
Xiao Qingqing knew that the prince would go to her again tonight, so she honestly saluted the princess and left with someone.
Some people don't have thoughts, but that doesn't mean that others don't, such as Yiren.
Since becoming an aunt, I feel that the princess seems to be a lot more estranged from her. At first, Yiren didn't think so much, after all, the change of identity, there will be some changes between them, which is normal, but Yiren feels more and more wrong.
Although the identity has changed, it will not be so estranged, just take today, when the seat is eating, if it was once, then, the princess will definitely not arrange it like this. Yiren really couldn't figure it out, and wanted to stay and ask me.
What's more important is that according to the people, they haven't had a round house with the prince until now. On the day she was promoted to an aunt, Yiren was also arranged by the princess, but when the time came, the prince sent someone to say that Gu Qing needed him, so he didn't come, but after that time, he seemed to be forgotten.
Not to mention that the prince didn't mention it, even the princess didn't mention it again. It's not a good thing to go on like this, according to people, she can't sit still anymore, it just so happens that the prince and the princess are here today, can I hint at them a little?
Gu Ning, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly saw a person with a frown. Gu Ning can probably guess why one person is worried, but it's just a matter of sleeping! It stands to reason that she should arrange some things, but if she does something wrong, she will have to take responsibility, and if she chooses the wrong path, she will have to go on her own.
"Lord, the concubine has a period today, ...... you"
Today is the fifteenth day, and according to the custom, the first and fifteenth days of the new year must rest at the princess's place, but Gu Ning doesn't want to do this today and let some people succeed.
Originally, Yan Ze was still thinking about what excuse to use to leave, but he didn't expect the princess to give him an excuse to cooperate so much today.
"Then princess, you have a good rest, this king will take Qingqing and leave first." Yan Ze stood up and helped the sleepy Gu Qing to leave.
"Then the concubine won't send the prince, so it's good to go."
Yan Ze nodded and left.
According to people, I didn't expect that the prince would not stay with the princess today, she didn't think that there was a suitable reason to speak, why did she leave? But these are not, she can control it, so she can only watch as Wang Ye and Gu Qing leave. turned around, looked at the princess who was still sitting on the throne, and still thought that since the princess was gone, there was only one way to contact the princess.
Here, Gu Qing was lazily drowsy, and he was in a soft sedan with Yan Ze.
"Lord Wang, what birthday gift do you want?" Looking at Yan Ze's handsome face, Gu Qing asked.
Yan Ze pinched the nose of the person who was staring at him obsessively, "As long as it's sent by Qingqing, I like it." ”
"That's not good, people, there's always something you like." Regarding Yan Ze's perfunctory, Gu Qing didn't buy it. "Lord Wang, don't you have anything you like?"
"Something you like?" This question stumped Yan Ze, from childhood to adulthood, Yan Ze could get whatever he wanted, so that no one really asked him what he really liked, it has always been what others gave him, and he continued. "Me? What I love is you. ”
"Huh? Me? Gu Qing pointed to his nose and asked, "This doesn't count, I'm already yours." ”
"Well, since you've said it, then I don't have anything I particularly want." Yan Ze held Gu Qing's little hand and took advantage of the night to hold the person in his arms.
Gu Qing played with Yan Ze's hand: "Since this is the case, then I will think about it myself, you can't dislike it when the time comes." ”
"Okay, as long as it's sent by Qingqing, I like it."
Along the way, Gu Qing began to think about what to give Yan Ze? It's too expensive, she can't afford it, it's too cheap, and she can't afford it. Let's cook a meal with your own hands, my cooking skills are not good, I want to write a poem to express my meaning, but I can't write. If you don't play a song by yourself, you can't get the simplest basic song.
After thinking about it like this, Gu Qing felt like for the first time, really, useless. She was a little aggrieved in her heart, so she cleaned up her mood. Thinking wildly, is there something that existed in the past and modern times, inconspicuous, but would be very meaningful in ancient times?
With this proposition, I didn't even cooperate well with Yan Ze when I was sleeping tonight, so I let Yan Ze eat it over and over again.
I don't know, Gu Qing has messy thoughts buried in his heart, Yan Ze only feels that Gu Qingyu tonight is exceptionally obedient. After eating and drinking, he hugged Gu Qing in his arms, hummed a little song, and coaxed him to sleep.
As soon as Yan Ze's lullaby sounded, Gu Qing couldn't hold his eyelids. My head went blank, and I fell asleep.
