Chapter 5: Temptation [1]
"I want to know why Ah Ling is willing to help me." This is the first time that Qing Ruifan has not bent around. He likes to put other people's words out, rather than saying what he wants so voluntarily. This was a sign of insecurity to a certain extent, and he didn't know it. He only knew that he didn't want to pretend to be in front of Gu Lingge.
"Looking for excitement." Gu Lingge's answer was very straightforward, just like she promised. "You need more help from above, I need to be stimulated every day, it's fair to take what you need, isn't it?" The tone of the rhetorical question is reasonable.
Qing Ruifan stood up straight, unable to say anything to refute for a while. Living to the extent of Gu Lingge, it is indeed easy to get bored, and it is easy to find a pastime. Surprisingly, he didn't feel how angry he was at being the object of the pastime. It was as if something was sprouting in my heart, and it slowly settled in the soil.
"Why does Ah Ling like to wear black?" Qing Ruifan felt that the current Gu Lingge was the one who was strategizing, but he was the one who fell behind. He thought that he knew what Yang Li'er was thinking with a look, but Gu Lingge couldn't, he couldn't do anything about those eyes that had no aura but no waves.
"Mourning." Gu Lingge frowned, and his answer was slightly perfunctory. They didn't have anything to do with each other now, and she didn't want to answer that kind of question. But people are like this, the more they are covered, the more they want to see.
Gu Lingge saw that he still wanted to say something, lost the arrow and turned away, without saying a word but there was a feeling of running away, she didn't know why, it was really a bit embarrassing to say.
But she's just a little dizzy, so she doesn't forget everything. Qing Ruifan is testing her. The royal people are suspicious, and there is never anything wrong with what her father told her, it was a lesson in blood and tears.
"Gu Huai......" Zhu Lip opened lightly, and the two words that the woman whispered softly gradually drifted into the night breeze with the soft night breeze, bringing out a string of melancholy, blending with the boundless moonlight, a rare moonlit night. The white moon was so beautiful, like that woman's face, round and fair, and so beautiful that it could not be seen.
The second Qing Ruifan got up early, but Gu Lingge was even earlier, as soon as he opened the tent, he saw Gu Lingge standing outside alone, straight like a natural warrior, which made him wonder if she was really just a girl who knew kung fu. Leaned sideways to let her in, and without saying a word, she heard a delicate female voice coming in: "Your Highness, Li'er has come in." "Even the voice is so gentle that it can pinch out the water.
Gu Lingge heard Yunshuang say that this woman, a Jiangnan person, has a gentle personality, cowardice and hidden ruthlessness, and is a harmless existence if handled well. But it has nothing to do with her, that's not what she wants.
The curtain was opened, and a pair of white plain hands walked in with a basin, but the water rippled but not sprinkled at all. In a place like the barracks, she still has Su embroidery on her, which shows how much Qing Ruifan likes her, Gu Lingge's eyes darkened, disaster water or interpretation flower? Let's be a different story.
"What is this?" With a hesitant voice, Gu Lingge felt that there was no hostility in the gaze on his body, raised his head, and looked directly at her. She still doesn't like to talk. "Miss Ling." Qing Ruifan used not "Ah Ling", but "Ling girl", Gu Lingge's heart jumped.
"I see. Miss Ling is fine, little girl Yang Li'er. Put the washbasin away, and Yang Li'er came over. She didn't have any aversion to this girl with an indifferent face. may be because of her big background, she doesn't have a good impression of those good-hearted ladies, but she is kind to this kind of people who roam the rivers and lakes, at least she doesn't have so many scheming. She didn't know that one day she would become the person she was extremely disgusted now, and in the end, she would die with the woman in front of her, of course, for another time.
"Okay." Gu Lingge nodded. The soft nails made Yang Li'er's face embarrassed, and she didn't stay or stay when she left. Qing Ruifan didn't pay attention, and let the two women stare at each other during the washing process. Why didn't Gu Lingge delve into it, because it was unnecessary. She came here for something, not to meddle in others.
"What's the matter?" After washing, Qing Ruifan still had a trace of wet hair on his forehead on his face, looking a different kind of handsome, and even his voice was just as sparse, Gu Lingge felt that the frizziness in his heart was suppressed.
Yang Li'er stepped forward, reached out and took the silk handkerchief and rubbed it on his forehead: "Your Highness is always careless, and you can't even wipe the water clean." The happiness and coquettishness in her voice Gu Lingge didn't know how many people had said it, but for the first time, she felt harsh and disgusted, and the sweetness she pretended to be for the sake of acting made her feel sick to her stomach. Why bother? Everyone in love thinks that other people of the same sex are rivals in love, but in fact, how can it be? It's just self-inflicted.
"Ahem. If Li'er is fine, go to breakfast first, this palace and Ling girl still have something to deal with. Gu Lingge's face was as usual, and Qing Ruifan couldn't help it first. Of course he knew what Yang Li'er was deliberately for, he didn't expose it, but it was enough, he always felt uncomfortable in front of Gu Lingge, if it was Chang Dong, he would be nothing, but it was Gu Lingge.
"Yes, Li'er is leaving." Li'er wore a bright green apricot ribbon breast-length skirt today, and a light green blouse, which not only lined her whole person with a young and beautiful person, but also added a smell of fireworks in the world, he subconsciously thought of what it would look like if Gu Lingge wore it, but he couldn't imagine it. Her aura is too strong.
"Do you want to kill it directly or let the civil and military officials come to Xuande Gate to greet you?" This autonomy is in the hands of Qing Ruifan, after all, the country is his. It is good for civil and military officials to go out of the city to greet him, but he has been away from Beijing for too long, and it is a big project to conquer people's hearts. Since ancient times, the country has been fought by force, and literati are used to defend the industry. Xuande Gate is the entrance to the imperial city, and the flow of people is large enough, but this kind of shelf is useless.
"Is Ah Ling testing me?" Qing Ruifan seemed to be smiling. He could think of Gu Lingge as much as he could, and the only remaining possibility was a temptation. It's also a woman who doesn't suffer losses, he just asked a little yesterday, is he going to come back today.
"It's good not to get carried away. Mu Er and Chang Dong have already entered the city, you will go later. Today fifteen. Gu Lingge was used to giving orders, he didn't notice Qing Ruifan's self-title, and he didn't care that Qing Ruifan's face changed several times after he blurted out. I only think that fifteen is the day of the temple fair, and it is easy to do things when there are many people.
"Uh...... Okay, I got it. Are you going? Subconsciously, Qing Ruifan didn't even know what he was asking. Gu Lingge was a little surprised, shouldn't he go with his Li'er? Something flooded up in my heart. "I don't like it." She hates noisy environments and hates to show her face. There is more or less fear behind the embodied disgust, which she doesn't know, Qing Ruifan knows.
"Does Ah Ling usually have a favorite thing?" It was completely accommodating, and Qing Ruifan himself didn't expect that he would be so patient one day. He has always only pitied Yang Li'er, but he is not spoiled, what does this mean?
"The prince has overstepped the rules." Gu Lingge's eyebrows were faint, but there was already a threat in his voice. This feeling of being watched made her uncomfortable. Without further speech, she turned to leave. Yes, Gu Lingge, what do you like after living for so many years? How can you hope that others will understand an answer that you can't give yourself?
Walking out of the barracks, she made a miraculous turn into the city. It's time for the morning market, the cries are endless, and the sweet smell of food is in front of you. How long has she not felt such fireworks?
Forgetting when she was thrown into the snake cave by her father, forgetting how many people were walking with or opposing her, and even forgetting the appearance of her parents, now she only knows that she really hasn't felt the world well. Summer, spring, winter and snow, she hasn't been involved at all, so it's not bad to look at it occasionally, right?
It has been said that lonely people are kind.
So she walked halfway and saw a boy covered in scars, with clear and delicate eyebrows and eyes, no more than eight years old, not yet grown, just from a small and tall nose bridge, white and pure face, you can see that it should be a good appearance in the future.
When the boy saw her as if he had seen an evil spirit, his face contorted and frightened, he hurried past her, bringing a gust of wind with him. She brushed her ears away, stood up, and looked directly at the meaty man in front of her. She has a lot of wisdom to hide, she rarely wears black after going down to Changling, and today is a good day for the temple fair, she changed into a white robe, gentle and quiet, a white jade hairpin next to her sideburns, plain and white more quiet and peaceful.
"Hand over that little bastard to Lao Tzu." The man is not only burly, but even his voice is like a Hong Zhong, full of momentum. But Gu Lingge only lightly spit out two words: "Mu Yi." "Mu Yi, the boss of the Mu family, as his name suggests, was born full of knotted muscles, born in martial arts but with a good nature. The man in front of him is the Mu family, and at a glance, he knows that Mu Yi likes men with the same physique as him, so he can practice his hands in this way.
"The girl is my friend?" There was shock on the man's face. Although Mu Jiawutang is famous here, he has never seen this girl, where did she come from? "Take me there." Gu Lingge never dragged his feet.
Men don't want to. That boy was named by the second boss to ask for it, and now not only has he escaped, but he hasn't been caught yet, and he won't be able to pay the difference when he goes back. "I'll bear the consequences." Gu Lingge looked at the hesitation on the man's face, and with the increasingly crowded streets, she had no patience.
"Girl, please." The man looked at Gu Lingge back and forth several times, and finally bowed his head. Turn around and lead the way ahead. He didn't know how to say it, but he always felt that the woman in front of him was as weak as a bamboo pole had a natural aura, and he couldn't help but want to surrender to that cold face. He is also a lot of people in the martial arts hall, but this kind of person who is not angry and arrogant is too rare.
On the other side, Yunshuang was face to face with Yang Li'er in the barracks. Yang Li'er came to Qing Ruifan to find her when she was dealing with affairs. Yunshuang's tent was not far from Gu Lingge's, and she ushered in Yang Li'er before she could go to find Gu Lingge.
"Miss Yang, what's wrong?" Yunshuang turned her head and saw the person in front of her, she was a little disliked. It's annoying for people like this to come in and out at will without other people's consent.
Yang Li'er looked indifferent. This entire military camp belongs to Qing Ruifan, and Qing Ruifan is hers, where will she have a place where she can't go? "When does Miss Yun have a plan to leave?" There is no room for women in the barracks, but there are still two of them, and no matter how generous she is, she can still feel a sense of crisis. All her reliance is on Qing Ruifan, where can she let it go so easily?
"Miss Yang doesn't seem to be able to control us here, right? Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince given you permission to ask us like this? Yunshuang shook the water in her hand, and her white ten fingers looked so weird to Yang Li'er. The lowly billet who practiced martial arts was just a green onion with ten fingers.
Yunshuang looked at her face with a little resentment, and clearly saw this woman's thoughts. It's good that she didn't have a seizure in front of Qing Ruifan, or she can play with her. "Even if it is at the behest of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as long as my master doesn't say anything, no one dares to say such things."
Yunshuang's plain face, her eyes were bright and bright, looking at Yang Li'er with willow leaves and eyebrows, and pink and delicate. It is true that this is a weak woman who is easy to protect, but Yunshuang is not a man after all.
"If Miss Yang really has nothing to do, she can go out for a walk, and there may be some good things going on at the temple fair in the city today." Yun Shuang put down this sentence, picked up the short dagger on the table, and walked in front of her lightly.
