Chapter Ninety-Four: The Narrow Road Doesn't Meet

——————

The Prime Minister's Mansion has been silent for many days, and the family atmosphere that was heated up before has also disappeared inexplicably, except for the red lanterns hanging high in front of the mansion that are a little conspicuous, other things are as usual.

For example, tassels, such as Murong.

On the day Gu Qing entered the palace, he explained the crescent moon in a word, that is, he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Murong and inform her of her situation.

What is still clear in my memory is that he stood against a tree that night, his tall figure and the promise he made became a life-saving medicine for Gu Qingxin's thoughts.

After the crescent moon informed Murong of the situation, he immediately got up and went to the palace to find Liancheng.

* In the main hall, the people on the dragon chair only care about dealing with government affairs, sometimes glancing coldly, but also with a kind of arrogance that cannot be beaten.

"Dare to ask the emperor, why did you bring Gu Qing to the palace?"

He asked questions to His Highness. Zhao Gonggong was silent on the surface, but secretly accused the prime minister of being bold. Although there is a grudge between him and Liancheng, now that the two have met as kings and ministers, it is better to pay attention to etiquette.

Liancheng laughed, put down the fold in his hand, propped one hand on the table and said: "There are so many women in the world as if they were renovated, which one I like, even if I bring it back." Why, I still need to ask the prime minister for something?"

Murong hadn't given him a good look for a long time, even if he was a high emperor above ten thousand people, this time it was the same, he had obviously touched his bottom line.

"Does the emperor know that a friend's wife can't be bullied?"

As soon as these words came out, Liancheng's face darkened, and Zhao Gonggong hurriedly said with a panicked face: "Ouch, haven't you heard of Master Gu's family affair with Miss Zhang Luo's third lady?"

What hasn't happened, no matter how you Murong explains, it's useless.

That's right, he proposed marriage, but Gu Qing refused.

"How did I hear that there is a stunning beauty in the Prime Minister's Mansion? It is rumored that she has excellent dancing posture and sultry posture, and since she is a woman from the dance workshop, why not come to the palace and let the big guys see and understand?"

Lian Cheng couldn't speak to make Murong angry, and after a paragraph, he didn't leave any emotion.

"Oh yes, the prime minister rushed to the Qiankun Palace to find me, it wouldn't be just for Gu Qing, right? Liancheng had already seen through everything, and his fingers tapped lightly, waiting for His Highness's response.

Murong raised his eyes, knowing that it was useless to distinguish between them, so he didn't say much nonsense, and only asked, "Since the emperor knows, why do you need to ask Weichen again?"

"Heh, I'm just asking you for an answer. My dear brother, do you really think I am confused about what you have done behind my back for so many years?"

The word confused lowered his voice, venting his dissatisfaction.

The good brother he said was really ironic at this moment.

"The emperor is well aware of the righteousness, and he must not worry about the ministers. ”

Liancheng sneered, it seems that the past few years have not been in vain, at least, the tone of their voices is exactly the same.

"Gu Qing is not wrong, why should the emperor embarrass her?"

"Haha-" Liancheng laughed loudly, and didn't stop until his stomach hurt from laughing, and then pointed at Murong and said: "How can I embarrass a little woman? After a long time, he looks forward to some things that nourish and nourish his children. You say, isn't it?"

In the end, Murong left in a hurry.

The rest of Liancheng looked at the air of His Highness and stayed for a long time.

Gonggong Zhao knew that Liancheng had always been a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and said regretfully: "Why did the emperor say those words? You and the prime minister, since they are brothers, they are easy to talk about, don't let hatred blind you again." ”

Lian Cheng was quiet for a long time before he said: "I used to envy him, because he was the son of the Taifu, he could study in the same room with the prince, and he could enjoy all the glory and wealth. Later, he felt guilty about him, because of a momentary mistake, which led to the death of his godfather. And now, I just want to surpass him, defeat him! He has witnessed too much of my weakness and weakness, from being a poor child to a romantic person today, he has always looked down on me. And I can't swallow this breath after all. ”

As the saying goes, don't steam steamed buns to fight for breath.

Maybe it's because it's been a long time, and the two have never had contact with each other, so he doesn't understand the hatred and pain in Murong's heart. When he saw Mu Taifu lying in a pool of blood with several swords pierced, Murong strengthened his mind and swore to cut off Liancheng with a sword as a filial piety to the undead who had unjustly died to his father.

——————

The bustling crowds, the noisy streets, and the shouting of the vendors.

Liancheng swaggered in front, and bought a large sum of money without saying a word when he saw the jade he liked along the way. He didn't care, on the other hand, Gu Qing was not empty-handed, helping him hold the sword, not to mention, he was still carrying a heavy jade weapon in his hand.

She gritted her teeth, how much she longed in her heart to be able to throw the jade thousands of miles away immediately, but she was afraid that at that time, Liancheng would have to kick her and let her pick it up.

Huh?

Gu Qing suddenly stopped and looked at her hands, when did she become like a little palace maid?

"Why don't you go, tired?" Lian Cheng glanced at her and asked.

"There is a good saying, men and women match, work without getting tired. Emperor...... Childe, you just have nothing to do, why don't you help me mention it first?"

Seeing that she didn't say the word emperor, Liancheng snorted from his nose and silently took the jade in her hand.

When passing by a rouge shop, Liancheng looked at the door plaque for a long time and asked, "Do you want to buy this?"

Gu Qing shook his head: "I don't like to wipe these things." Let's be practical, let's go eat something to fill our stomachs. ”

Liancheng has a black line, and when she heard that she could get out of the palace in the morning, she was full of energy and ate two bowls of rice in a row, and she was hungry after only an hour after leaving the palace?

"Let's go, go in and have a look. ”

Don't talk nonsense, don't care if she buys it or not, Liancheng has already stepped in first.

As soon as the shopkeeper inside saw Liancheng walk in, his eyes quickly looked at it, hehe, yes, this kind of good fabric is by no means owned by ordinary people.

A big stride stepped in front of him: "This son, do you want to buy rouge?

After he finished speaking, Gu Qing slowly twisted in.

On the side of Lianchengtou, he gestured: "Take out your best rouge here and let her choose for herself." ”

"Okay, Childe, wait a minute, the good goods will come soon. "I really met a big customer, and the owner jumped up and walked to the back to pick up the goods.

Gu Qing looked around the shop, and as soon as she came in, she could ask about the rouge smell mixed with a variety of flavors, and she covered her nose: "Who do you buy it for?" ”

"You see if there is anything you like, I took a girl out for the first time and I don't know what to buy. Liancheng said something unnaturally, it was just a sentence, why was it unnatural? He always felt that something was strange, was it wrong?

Hearing this, Gu Qing couldn't help but want to tease: "Tut, it seems that the son is pleasing women, and he has no attainments at all, right?"

"Come on, come on, come and take a look at the good goods in the store. It's all rouge made from secret recipes, and you guys will never find a duplicate in other shops. The shopkeeper was confident, put the rouge on the table in rows, and opened the boxes one by one for Liancheng to sniff.

"Well, this one is good, this one is not bad either. ”

Gu Qing doesn't like rouge, and he doesn't usually use rouge, even when the sparrow groomes himself in the morning, he doesn't use rouge. She didn't like the smell, it stuck to her face, and she always felt uncomfortable.

"Come here, see which one you like?" He was immersed in a scented world.

In fact, to be honest, Liancheng has never seen any high-grade rouge in the palace? If he really responded to what Gu Qinggang said, he would not please girls at all.

Gu Qing casually opened a box and smelled it, the smell of fragrance was very light, and then he put it down to look at another box.

Liancheng picked up the box of rouge she put down, dipped his fingers in a little bit and rubbed it on her white cheeks, turned his fingers to wipe it slowly, and deliberately laughed at her: "I really haven't bought rouge?" Before buying, you have to try it, because the composition of each rouge is different, some women will feel uncomfortable after applying it, and some will not. ”

"So which one do I belong to?"

Lian Cheng stared at the small piece of rouge that had been wiped for a long time, and then said slowly: "I guess...... You are the former. ”

Before Gu Qing could react, he heard Liancheng ask the shopkeeper to bring a wet towel, and after wiping the rouge, a red ball appeared on his face.

Fortunately, I just wiped a little bit, if I didn't try it in advance, I don't know the situation and wiped all over my face, so how can she see people?

"Does it hurt?" Liancheng applied a hot towel to it, with a hint of guilt on his face.

"It doesn't hurt, it's just a little swollen. Give me a mirror and I'll see what it looks like. Gu Qing touched his cheek, feeling like a small lump.

Liancheng didn't give him a mirror, and he didn't buy the last box of rouge, but he rewarded the shopkeeper with a silver ingot, which was regarded as his reward for his diligence.

"Didn't you just say you're hungry? Let's go to the restaurant across the street for a big dinner. ”

Lian Cheng pulled Gu Qing and walked out, his powerful palm covering her arm, without a trace of roughness, and his movements were gentle.

Gu Qing frowned, when he was applying rouge for himself, the two were so close to each other, he concentrated on smearing, and Gu Qing looked into his eyes, and her figure was reflected in his eyes that were not mixed with any impurities.

"Eat...... What to eat?" She stammered suddenly.

Liancheng turned around and said: "Eat whatever you want, there are all kinds of food from all over the world, and you are guaranteed to ......be satisfied."

He didn't say any more after that, because he noticed Gu Qing's expression, and the whole person froze instantly.

Following her gaze, a man and a woman appeared at the door of the rouge shop, Liancheng was slightly stunned, and then protected Gu Qing behind him, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth: "Prime Minister, long time no see?"

The two people who just stepped in at the door were Murong and Tassel.

Seeing Gu Qing here, Tassel took the initiative to hold Murong's arm and asked affectionately, "Childe, who is this?"

Murong didn't answer, his eyes crossed everyone, looking straight at Gu Qing, and he asked, "What's the matter with your face?"

The scene of the tassel holding his arm, Gu Qingzhen really saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but get angry in his heart, turned his face away, and deliberately ignored him.

"Presumably this is Mrs. Zun, right? If she is really a fair lady, a gentleman like the Prime Minister should ask for it. "Liancheng is not afraid of causing trouble, and even adds fuel to the fire.
