Chapter 30: Mourning
"This king used to have a sister." Gong Linggui stopped, looked at the flowers and plants in one place, and his voice was low.
Su Yunran stopped and listened quietly.
"Her name is Xuan'er." Gong Linggui had a reminiscent expression on his face, with some melancholy, "But she left at a very young age. ”
Su Yunran was silent, Gong Lingxuan She had also heard that it was born by Concubine Yue, and she died in infancy, and she didn't even have a title, and over time, people forgot that there was such a princess.
After all, in the palace, some people leave, some people arrive, people come and go, people only see the blooming flowers in their eyes, and no one cares about the desolation of dry bones and sand.
The power of the bloodline is here, thin and terrifying.
Gong Linggui continued, "Really, she was very young at the time. ”
"I just called my mother and my brother."
"She smiles when I feed her rice porridge, and she looks good when she laughs, just like a flower in the garden."
"She has a nice smile and makes people feel warm."
Gong Linggui said, his tone was flat and smiling.
Su Yunran stood like this, quietly listening to Gong Linggui's memories, and lowered his eyebrows.
Once, she was also in the cold palace, listening to other people's descriptions, looking at the portraits on the walls, imagining the legendary woman in everyone's mouth, and missing her mother.
Now, even though Gong Linggui's tone was flat, Su Yunran still heard a different flavor - mourning.
Mourning, remembrance, dearest.
After a while, Gong Linggui looked at Su Yunran and smiled warmly, "The concubine likes you very much." ”
Su Yunran said: "It's the mother's love." ”
Gong Linggui said helplessly: "You don't have to have so many courtesies, after all, you are still a child, and you don't need to care about other people's opinions." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and broke off a flower, put the hairpin on Su Yun's sideburns, and then said, "If there is anything, come to me directly, Hanyue Hall or Jingwang Mansion, you can do it." ”
Gong Linggui paused, and said softly: "Sister Yunran." ”
Su Yunran raised his head suddenly, but saw that Gong Linggui's warm eyes were full of soft light, like a lake of water, and they were deeply inclusive.
Su Yun paused for a moment and replied, "Thank you King Jing." ”
Gong Linggui chuckled lightly, and tapped Su Yunran's forehead with his fingers, "Sister doesn't have to be polite, just call me Brother Ling Gui." ”
Su Yunran was even more surprised, she knew that Rong Yue and Gu Ruying had a good relationship, and Gong Linggui would take care of herself, but today was actually the first time she and Gong Linggui met, and Gong Linggui's attitude was really strange.
Is he thinking of his sister and going crazy?
Su Yunran hesitated: "This ······ It's not right. ”
Gong Linggui raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong, is it because this king is not as good as your good brothers?" ”
Su Yunran was speechless, organized the wording, and said: "The people's daughter is grateful for the prince's love, but the people's daughter's status is low, and she can't be compared with the prince." ”
When Gong Linggui heard this, he laughed directly, "That's right, it's a good mouth." ”
Su Yunran: "······"
That's not the point, okay.
Gong Linggui looked at her with a look of annoyance, laughed a few more times, turned around and said, "Let's go, this king will send you back, it's not good to delay lunch." ”
Su Yunran said, "Yes." He followed Gong Ling and walked towards the palace gate.
Gong Linggui kept sending Su Yunran into the carriage, instructed a few words, and watched the carriage leave his sight before turning around and preparing to leave.
After walking a few steps, he saw Gong Lingyan in a royal blue brocade robe.
Gong Lingyan walked over with a smile, "Brother Four Wang." ”
Gong Linggui said lightly: "How can the fifth royal brother have time to enter the palace today?" ”
Gong Lingyan was already accustomed to Gong Linggui's faint tone, and replied: "Recently, the concubine has been unwell, so she came to the palace to take a look. ”
"Then Brother Wang should go earlier, Brother Wang still has something to do, so go first." After speaking, Gong Linggui directly crossed Gong Lingyan and left.
Gong Lingyan looked at Gong Linggui's back, smiling rather than smiling.
