The chopsticks poked at the rice in the bowl weakly, Gu Qing raised her eyes from time to time to glance at them, but fortunately she only leaned a little closer, and there were no other intimate movements, otherwise she would really have to escape from here.

"Eh, did my sister just say that she was looking for me?" Gu Ning suddenly said, and his inquiring expression was very innocent.

Suddenly being named, Gu Qing's eyes widened for a few seconds, and he rolled his eyes before remembering that she was asking Gu Ning for help, but he was a little hesitant whether he should say it, after all, Liancheng was here.

"Let's talk about it after lunch. Gu Qing was a little jealous, his eyes glanced at him, and saw that he was only concentrating on eating his own food, and his ears were not listening to anything else.

"Sometimes things can't be said in front of the emperor? Besides, with the extremely smart emperor here, he can come up with a solution, right?"

Gu Qing silently read a sentence, second sister, second sister, everything is the emperor, and you don't leave the emperor in three sentences, you are really poisoned!

Gu Ning persuaded like this, and it was not something to be embarrassed about, Gu Qingyi gritted his teeth and told all the causes and consequences of Liu Piaopiao's incident.

After speaking, there was silence on the table.

No one said anything, and Liancheng's action of eating stopped, and he kept his head buried and didn't know what he was thinking.

Gu Ning sensed his displeasure, and in order to break the tense atmosphere, he hurriedly smiled and asked Gu Qing to eat obediently, "You girl, it's not your own business, why are you worrying about it? Hurry up and eat, it's cold." ”

Gu Qing didn't realize the undercurrent, and it could be heard from Gu Ning's short sentence that she didn't approve of what she did, and the food tasted the same as the wax in her mouth, and there was no taste.

She didn't give up and asked: "Second sister, Piaopiao is your cousin, and you should also help her in this relationship." ”

Who knew that as soon as these words came out, Gu Ning's face changed, and he tried his best to give her a look and tell her to stop.

Lian Cheng suddenly raised her head and slammed her chopsticks on the table, the loud sound made Gu Qing stunned, as if she realized that she had said the wrong thing, she looked at Gu Ning helplessly, asking for help.

"Relationship, if everything in the world can be solved by the word relationship, then why did I lead troops to rebel back then?"

The sharp words like thorns pierced straight at her, Liancheng was too serious, making everyone present hold their breath, and what he said was intimidating.

Who in the world doesn't know that he has no relatives and no reason to be an orphan? This sentence that came out of his mouth, the words of leading troops to rebel could not be more ordinary, there was no cover-up, no cover-up, * naked to the ears of everyone.

Gu Qing secretly screamed badly, and held back the nervousness in her heart, how could she forget the emperor who was sitting opposite him who controlled the world? As an emperor, especially an emperor with such a temperament, he hated the word "relationship" with people around him the most.

It turned out that she was too anxious and said the wrong thing.

Gu Ning swallowed unconsciously, a smile froze on his face, he patted Liancheng's back gently, and said, "The emperor is angry, my sister is still young, and she has never done anything mundane, and she is a little confused when she speaks. I still hope that the emperor, don't go to my heart. ”

"Oh yes, how can I see her, so clever and thoughtful?" Liancheng's eyes became gloomy, and his eyes were especially focused, as if to see her transparently.

Seeing that it was useless to persuade Liancheng, Gu Ning rebuked Gu Qingdao softly: "Qing'er, why don't you apologize to the emperor soon?"

Shocked by Liancheng's eyes, Gu Qing didn't have the heart to think about anything else at all, and even forgot the basic etiquette, after being reminded by Gu Ning, he threw away the dishes and chopsticks, lifted his skirt and knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "The people's girl is gaffe, she is promising, and she hopes that the emperor will give her sin." ”

Lian Cheng didn't want to hear these words at all, and it was useless to eat any more food, so he got up, didn't say a word, and strode away with a flick of his sleeves.

Leaving Gu Qing to sit paralyzed on the ground, he was afraid for a while.

Gu Ning sighed lightly, pulled Gu Qing up and placed him on the seat, pointed at her head and blamed: "You, you, you don't have a little heart, since the emperor is here, what to say and what not to say, you should have a number in your heart." You see, the emperor is angry, fortunately he didn't have a seizure, otherwise you would have felt better. ”

How did Gu Qing know this? She hadn't gone to the Etiquette Department to study, and no one taught her how to speak carefully, but after the words came out, she saw their faces and knew that she had lit the fire.

"Second sister, I really don't know ......"

"Alright, don't say it. "Gu Ning doesn't care, what can Gu Qing understand about a child's family?

After thinking about it, he asked, "Why do you want to help Piao Piao so dedicated?"

Gu Qing opened his mouth and wanted to tell Gu Mo what he had done, but he had promised him not to tell anyone before, so he casually put up a pretense and said, "Since the second sister left, I have been very bored in the house alone. happened to go to the street one day to buy rouge and get acquainted with Piaopiao, and after chatting with each other, I realized that it was my own sister, so I made a friendship, which is my friend, second sister, you say, friends are in trouble, can I stand by and watch?"

"That's true, it's just that you're too reckless. If you come to the palace to find me, what good way can I do? You have also seen that the emperor is so angry, I am afraid that I will have to avoid suspicion of this matter. ”

Gu Ning was right, Gu Qing had no idea for a while.

"The day before yesterday, my mother brought me a letter that also said that everyone has their own destiny and life, and the sky is determined to arrange it like this, and our artificial strength cannot change anything. ”

Gu Ning said again, and bitterly advised his stupid sister to let go and not to get involved in the affairs of adults.

Seeing Gu Ning's attitude, Gu Qing knew that she didn't want to mention this in front of Liancheng, and she was even more afraid of ruining her image in his mind. The good and bad life in this palace already depends on the favor of Liancheng. Gu Qing lowered her eyes and was silent, and suddenly felt that the second sister had become so strange, she was no longer the simple-minded second sister she used to be, but now she started to do things, looking forward and backward, and always taking care of herself.

Yes, it's always good to have more eyes in the palace. I think it's because she is too impulsive, not to mention that Gu Ning is unwilling to help, even if she is willing to contribute, it is only a temporary peace, and the days will be long in the future, I don't know how Second Master Liu will act.

Then, the two sisters talked about their hearts and talked about many interesting things, until it was getting dark, and Gu Qing said goodbye to Gu Ning and prepared to leave the palace and return home.

Gu Ning didn't stop her, and as soon as Gu Qing left on her front foot, she hurriedly called her personal maid Xiaoyu to prepare lotus seed porridge and go to the imperial study to see Liancheng, lest he mind Gu Qing's nonsense and be cold to herself.

Coming out of Ningxin Palace, all the lanterns in the palace have been lit, and the lights are like warm and bright torches, shining on the entire palace, and the small chandeliers on the eaves are dotted with stars, like small fireflies.

Even if the light is bright, the corners of the palace wall are still dim.

Ancient books, seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards, all leaning on the window alone to watch the moonlight. Even if you are favored by many honors, what if you can only hope that the emperor will flop when he is in a good mood?

Gu Qing silently walked behind the palace maid, and when she turned a corridor, she saw Liancheng who was enjoying the scenery on the riverbank, and quickly opened her eyes, muttering in her mouth, she didn't see me, she didn't see me......

Finally walked through the corridor, Gu Qingzheng was glad that he had escaped, and a little father-in-law came in front of him to block the way, shook off the dust, and said with low eyebrows: "Miss Gu, the emperor ordered me to bring you a message." He said that everyone has selfish desires, whether it is a noble family or a general. If Miss Gu is not clear, take him as an example. ”

Gu Qing was surprised: "The emperor really said that?"

Xiao Gong said: "No fake. ”

She glanced slightly, looked at the person on the other side of the river, and happened to see him looking at her, and her little heart trembled with fright, and she hurriedly turned around and returned to her little father-in-law: "Please ask your father-in-law to bring a message to the emperor again, Gu Qing is still ignorant and young, and he doesn't speak properly, and I hope the emperor doesn't mind." Also, what the emperor explained, Gu Qing wrote it down. ”

The little father-in-law smiled sweetly, he didn't expect the young lady of the Gu Mansion to be so polite, so he bowed his head and turned around to report.

On the other side of the river, the evening breeze blew the ends of his hair, accompanied by a little coolness, the little father-in-law told Gu Qing's original words to Liancheng, the corners of his mouth twitched, she just wrote it down? If she didn't even understand such a simple truth, then she was a dumb fool.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ning is waiting for you outside the imperial study. A palace maid stepped forward and said.

Liancheng frowned slightly, she was in good spirits all day long, and she changed her ways to please him, and she didn't know how to appreciate so much gold, silver and jewelry.

It's not yet time to leave her aside, the coming day is long, since he is blessed with a thin beauty, he naturally won't miss it, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go now." ”

——————

Everyone has selfish desires? Take him as an example? Gu Qing combed these two sentences back and forth along the way, comparing his case to an example...... The most famous is that he rebelled and founded the country for the sake of power, wealth, and wealth. Did you mean that the dark willow was fluttering? Didn't you give her a look at her face at noon? Why did you think of giving her an idea again?

What is selfish desire? According to the understanding, it is personal desire, and there are many kinds of desire, such as status, power, beauty, and ...... Money.

Gu Qing's eyes lit up, she seemed to understand, why Second Master Liu hurriedly married Liu Piaopiao.

As soon as she returned to Gu's mansion, as soon as she jumped out of the carriage, Gu Qing was invited to the study, not so much to be invited, but to say that she was carried to the study by the subordinates.

Master Gu's face was ugly, he held his forehead with one hand, and gently patted it on the table with the ring ruler in the other, and when he saw Gu Qing walking in, he was even more angry, trying to calm down, and asked, "Is it fun in the palace?"

Gu Qing pursed his lips, knowing that it was a big mistake to steal the token, and he didn't argue, he lowered his head and took the token off his waist, and offered it with his obedient hands, his small mouth was long, and explained: "Father is angry." The second sister is very good to Qing'er on weekdays, counting the days, Qing'er hasn't seen the second sister for several months, and she especially misses it. When I heard that life in the harem was not easy, I thought that the second sister would be hungry, could she be cold, and could she be punished? As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't wait to rush to the palace to visit the second sister. Qing'er also knew that stealing tokens was a big crime in the house, and despite her father's punishment, Qing'er had no complaints. ”

What an emotional card!

Because Gu Qing is the youngest and the daughter born to Yu Niang, among his three children, he is a little partial to this girl.

At this time, when I heard what she said as if she was crying, she was quite moved, and the ring ruler that she had held tightly in her hand was also put aside, sighed twice, and pointed at Gu Qing and persuaded him bitterly: "Qing'er, I don't mean to blame you for being a father. The token is just a trivial matter, but your behavior is wrong, sneaking is the work of a thug, you are the daughter of my Gu Mansion, how can you do such a thing?"

"My father taught me. ”

Taking the token she handed over, Master Gu rubbed it repeatedly, remembering the small box where the token was placed, and wondered if the contents had been discovered by her, so he asked tentatively, "Did you just take the token?"

"Of course. Gu Qing replied affirmatively, she was already thankful that she could steal a token, if she dared to take other things, according to her father's temper, she was not allowed to hang her on the wall and whip a few whips first.

Gu Qing's answer made him feel at ease. After discovering that the token was missing, Master Gu woke up with a beard that was angry, the token was a trivial matter, but if she found the contents of the yellowed paper in the box, it would be troublesome.

I had already thought about how to punish her, so I waited for her to come back and obediently admit her mistake and receive the punishment.

It's good now, she obediently admitted her mistake, and he, a father, couldn't bear to eat a stack of deep emotional cards.
