Chapter 44: One Leaf
Gu Xi looked back at Yun Yanzheng, the corners of his lips rose slightly, the smile was different from the leisurely and leisurely in the past, it seemed to be helpless, but in fact there was a trace of imperceptible cunning, and suddenly said softly: "Then please ask the eldest princess to pay homage to Gu." ”
Yun Yanzheng ignored this one, and stared back at him expressionlessly at the moment, regretting it late at the end, and he was really unwilling in his heart.
The emperor saw through the ridicule and hesitation between the two at a glance, so he mediated: "The imperial sister is the eldest princess and the commander in the army, so she just nods three times." I wonder if Mr. Gu can exercise discretion and forgive this gift? ”
Gu Xi smiled slightly, and said kindly: "Your Majesty intercedes on your behalf, and it is okay to change the apprenticeship ceremony of three kneeling and nine bows a little." ”
Yun Yan was relieved, even if he was reluctant, he still nodded to Gu Yi three times as a salute. Even if he worshiped his door, there was a sense of frustration and aggrieved in his heart, which was really uncomfortable. But it also made her taste it again and again!
The monarch and the ministers sang peace, and the war was roughly agreed, and the two left the palace together.
After leaving the Qinzheng Palace, Yun Yanzheng's face was gloomy, and he deliberately lagged behind a few steps. Looking at the person's graceful and elegant steps from behind, the light and lonely back of the white clothes, walking in this luxurious and prosperous palace, actually made her feel a strange feeling of alienation and fit. There was another storm in my heart. I didn't want this person to set off with the army, and it seemed safer to leave him to guard in this heavily armed Gyeonggi city. But she thought about it, she really didn't know what kind of situation would be stirred up if she left him in Beijing, so it would be more appropriate to let him go with the army and keep it guarded in front of her. Although how to place this person can't make people worry less, at least keep an eye on it at all times, and let her take precautions and see tricks.
Keep the most dangerous people on your side. Yun Yanzheng pursed her lips, and secretly sighed again, who would understand her hard work?
"Eldest princess, you don't have to sigh so long, you ...... with a lot of worries," the person in front of him said in a low voice, standing still and turning around.
She didn't speak, only a little color, and he knew what it meant when he heard the strings. Do you even know what is going on in her mind? This man is terrible.
Yun Yan was slightly stunned, but he still stopped quickly. Half a step away from them, she looked up at him. He was half a head taller than her, and her chin had to be raised because of the proximity, forming a soft and graceful arc from her cheeks to her neck, and her complexion was fair and warm, and in the reflection of the sun, it was more and more clean and flawless as white jade. Her appearance is not enchanting, but it is also as pure and vulgar as a pine wind spring forest, full of flying and free and easy peerless demeanor.
She only saw that his eyes were vast and boundless, and he had never seen her beautiful appearance in his eyes like others, nor did he seem to have touched the slightest heartstring in his heart, but he staged a drama of "Phoenix Yu Fei, making me fall" in front of the world. He had only been leisurely smiling with a shallow smile that was as light as a cloud and as indifferent as the wind, and that world was still as mysterious to her as it was when she first saw it. At this moment, he lowered his head slightly, and said what he wanted to say to her: "...... Please relax, this battle as a teacher will definitely do his best to help you, the eldest princess. ”
His voice was low and soft, but his tone was firm, like an oath.
But her heart was tumbling with doubts, and she always felt that the word "teacher" that he called himself a teacher had a kind of almost ridiculous meaning. Yun Yanzheng narrowed his phoenix eyes, chuckled and said, "Sir, do you want to do your best to help this palace win a thousand miles?" She blinked, catching the emotion hidden in his jet-black eyes. It was rare to see this person's eyes so closely, how could she easily miss such an opportunity? Again, he asked seemingly casually: "Or do you want to do your best to help Hongu fail?" ”
Gu Xi's breath blew lightly on her forehead, curled up a few strands of hair on her forehead, and flew with the breath, scraping her cheeks with a slight itch. His eyes were half-constricted to the inquiry in those slightly narrow eyes, and the smile in his eyes was blurred little by little, like the ripples on the surface of the bottomless sunken lake, rippling layer by layer, forming a circle of graceful splashes.
Looking at it from a distance, the two of them seemed to be glued at this time, smiling knowingly, but they didn't know that every word and every move between them was the sharpness of the hidden edge. The palace ladies watched from afar, and could only hide their mouths and smile, and secretly whispered that these two people were so bold and reckless, completely ignoring the rules of the palace*.
"Could it be that in the eldest princess's heart, there is something else besides conquering the enemy army...... Unknown ...... Objective? He looked at her with a smile, his eyes were as bright as snow, and he said softly as if he was attached to his ear: "If the eldest princess wants to win, the teacher will naturally do his best to help you win." On the contrary, as a teacher, you must be able to do good. ”
At the moment when he spoke, Yun Yanzheng didn't see the slightest ripple in the secluded pool in his eyes, but what he said inadvertently hit her heart, making her smile on her face. Not to mention that this is the palace where the forbidden army patrols and the secret sentinels are hidden, who can guarantee that they are not under the surveillance of others, and who can guarantee that there will be no walls on both sides of this road? What's more, what kind of mind did he have to say such a thing? At this moment, they were standing in the corridor of the palace where the palace people and guards were going back and forth from time to time, Yun Yanzheng was expressionless, and he didn't say a word, but he had already seen his clear eyebrows and eyes bent just a little.
Gu Xisu Yi stood in the dazzling sunlight like snow, but his eyes were so clear that there was no trace of variegation, and the gusts of spring breeze blew through the soft clothes and lay on his bones, vaguely showing the power full of tension, not like the warmth and elegance of his face, nor different from the elegant and immortal elegance of his usual demeanor, and there was a faint domineering momentum in his eyes.
"What do you mean, sir?" Yun Yanzheng ignored the smile in his eyes and asked sharply. Her eyes were as calm as a mirror, reflecting the indifferent complexion of the person in front of her.
"The eldest princess wants to test Yu as a teacher." Gu Xi's eyes were as soft as water in an instant, and Fang Cai's cold sharpness disappeared like a mirror, and he paused for a moment, and his tone eased: "Why don't you want to test you as a teacher, the eldest princess?" You and I have always been jealous of each other...... Kill each other, how can we join hands to defeat the enemy in the future? ”
He paused, but he didn't expect Yun Yanzheng to be so unscrupulous and unreasonable, and suddenly put his palm close to his heart, pressing down the steady beating heart.
I don't know how he managed to make her heart beat so calmly and calmly under the palm of her hand, or if he really meant the truth?
Yun Yanzheng raised his eyebrows, and patted him on the shoulder. For this series of natural behaviors of his own, there is no awareness of the difference between men and women, and he smiled and became bright and bright, and whispered: "Mr. Hope's heart ...... Won't lie. ”
Gu Yi chuckled lightly, and his voice was leisurely: "How could the eldest princess ever be honest with Gu?"
"......" Yun Yanzheng was speechless, blinked his phoenix eyes, looked up at his gaze again, and said with a smile: "Corporal Lixian, treat him sincerely, and this palace also looks forward to being honest with Mr." ”
The corners of Gu Xi's lips curled slightly, and he reached out to brush the wrinkles on his cuffs. His eyebrows and eyes were calm and beautiful, like the bright moon among the clouds, and he said leisurely, "I sincerely hope that this day will come sooner, and then I can have a heart-to-heart relationship with the eldest princess." ”
The two talked happily this time, and each showed some sincerity, and then they joined forces to leave the palace. After saying goodbye to each other in front of the majestic palace gate, Yun Yanzheng boarded the gorgeous carriage back to the eldest princess's mansion, and Gu Xi also boarded the double carriage back to the palace of the king. The people who can glimpse King Heng's Mansion have been paying attention to Gu Xi's whereabouts, presumably it is the order left by the third brother before going to the imperial tomb. And Emperor Fang Cai wanted to assign a residence to Gu Xi, and he also thanked him politely. It is only said that everything is very good in Heng Wangfu, and he will leave for the border in the near future, and His Majesty does not have to bother to work for such a trivial matter.
The two carriages went out of the long street before and after, and then they were divided into two ends, and each ran to the east and west.
The carriage shook slightly, and Yun Yanzheng lazily leaned against the side wall to stretch his body before exhaling a long breath. I only felt that my chest was full of breath and panicked, and I remembered that when I controlled that person's heart on the palace road just now, I forgot to breathe. Whether his embarrassing behavior has already fallen into the eyes of that man, he will be laughed at again. At this moment, she already felt that her cheeks were slightly hot, even her fingers were a little hot, and her heart was pounding.
Then the curtains opened and closed, and a cool breeze came in. A pair of phoenix eyes gradually calmed down, looking at the street scene outside the window, her eyes were gloomy. Thinking about what the two guys were up to in mind?
The third brother must have known that the emperor asked him to guard the imperial mausoleum, which meant that he was under house arrest and guarded against the slightest deterioration. However, he made people pay close attention to Gu Xi's movements? Now that Gu Xi has been given the important task of the emperor, and has some meaning of wooing, the third brother is so blatant that people sent a carriage to welcome him back to the palace, so he will not be afraid that the emperor will suspect that this is a party for personal gain? The third brother has always been clean with the court, why is he unscrupulous and does not avoid suspicion this time?
Is it to express his sincerity and trust and appreciation to Gu Xi?
Share honor and disgrace, not afraid of life and death?
The third brother is showing his heart to the emperor, calmly?
Yun Yanzheng frowned slightly, she never doubted the third brother's wisdom and wisdom, if it weren't for the many considerations and helplessness in between, the third brother and Gu Yi might be able to become friends of life and death.
The third brother tied himself to this person so tightly, he was not afraid that if one day Gu Xi turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands for rain, and even the emperor was afraid of him, how could he, the prince of Heng, who was already tabooed by the imperial brother, get out of the situation and clear the relationship?
