What responded to her were weak sobs and arms hugging her tightly.
Ye Qinglan is one year younger than Gu Xiyu and slightly shorter, but Gu Xiyu is still a child mentally. When the two are together, Ye Qinglan plays a role similar to that of a sister. Gu Xiyu has long been accustomed to relying on her.
Just like this moment, Gu Xiyu leaned her head on Ye Qinglan's shoulder, crying aggrievedly. It was like an abandoned child who finally found a relative again.
Ye Qinglan's nose was sore, and all her eloquent words were forgotten. She just clumsily patted Gu Xiyu's back and kept murmuring: "Don't cry, didn't I come to see you?"
?”
Gu Xiyu still kept crying, and her hands unconsciously clenched Ye Qinglan's skirt, as if she was afraid that she would run away at any time. Ye Qinglan's eyes were also a little moist, and she unconsciously hugged Gu Xiyu tightly. At this moment,
Anyone can be moved by his true feelings.
The Fourth Young Master Gu, who was ignored for the first time in his life, stood silently aside, quietly looking at the pair of girls hugging each other and crying, with a complicated light flashing in his eyes.
Was what he did before really right?
Because the girl in front of him has a mysterious origin and strange and unknown special abilities, he is afraid that she will use it to hurt his most beloved sister and force her to leave. He thought that this was the best for Gu Xiyu. However, he did not expect that
, Gu Xiyu would be so depressed and sad. She even had an awkward quarrel with him because of this girl...
Finally, he reluctantly gave in and personally agreed to Gu Xiyu's invitation to Ye Qinglan to visit again.
In his heart that is already as hard as rock and as hard as iron, his weak and withdrawn sister is probably the only soft corner. No matter what, he hopes that Gu Xiyu will be happy. Even if it takes some risks, it is worth it. If Ye Qinglan shows up
Damn it, he will never let her go...
But at this moment, seeing Ye Qinglan's eyes turn red and showing his unprecedented true emotions, he suddenly believed what Ye Qinglan once said.
I can assure you that I have no intentions towards cousin Xiyu. I just want her to become more lively and cheerful.
Ye Qinglan's self-control was many times stronger than that of Gu Xiyu. She quickly calmed down from the excitement of meeting again after a long separation, calmed down, and comforted her softly: "Stop crying, okay? I'm not standing in front of you properly."
What?"
Gu Xiyu choked and raised her head, her eyes were red and there were still tears on her face. She was as lovable as a little rabbit: "I miss you so much, do you miss me?"
Ye Qinglan smiled softly and said in a very gentle voice: "Of course I have. If there weren't things happening one after another in the house, I would have come to see you a long time ago."
Gu Xiyu sniffed and accused: "You don't mean what you say. You clearly promised to come see me, but you haven't come for so long."
Ye Qinglan coaxed patiently: "It's not that I don't want to come, it's just that I really can't leave. A lot of things have happened recently. When I'm free, I'll tell you one by one." As he spoke, he gently explained to Gu Xiyu
Wipe away tears.
Gu Xinian, who had been completely ignored, stepped forward and said with a faint smile: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later!" Standing here crying and fussing, it was really embarrassing.
Ye Qinglan then raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Xinian. She also nodded calmly.
She had not forgotten how many conflicts they had had before, nor had she forgotten how unpredictable and dangerous the man in front of her was. When she thought about the other person knowing her secret, she wished she could turn around and leave immediately, never to have anything to do with him again.
That's great. It's a pity that it backfired because because of Gu Xiyu, the chances of the two meeting each other will probably be many in the future.
She can't get any benefit from tit-for-tat. It's better to keep a distance and act calmly and honestly. Gu Xinian won't be so narrow-minded as to trouble her again!
Gu Xinian took a steady look at Ye Qinglan, who had an indifferent expression, and suddenly smiled. That fleeting smile was truly stunning, enough to make any woman obsessed.
Ye Qinglan was the only exception. Without even looking at him, she took Gu Xiyu's hand affectionately and entered the house.
Gu Xinian's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes darkened. The feeling of being ignored didn't seem very good...
Ye Qinglan was completely focused on Gu Xiyu, and had no time to care about the expression of Gu Xinian behind her. Gu Xiyu's excited mood slowly calmed down.
Soon we arrived at Jingxinyuan.
A maid had already cleverly ran to report. After a while, Mrs. Zheng came out in person with a friendly and easy-going smile: "Sister Lan, you are finally here. Yu'er has been waiting all morning. Just now
I'm really anxious and have to go to the door to wait for you. If I hadn't been busy with something else, I would have been dragged to the door to wait together."
Ye Qinglan responded with a busy smile: "My aunt's words really upset me. I have the audacity to come and disturb you, and there will be a lot of trouble in the future! Then don't find me annoying, aunt."
"You kid really has a clever mouth." Mrs. Zheng laughed dumbly: "If Yu'er can be as good as one-tenth of yours, I will be satisfied." If only Ye Qinglan could understand Ye Qinglan's knowledge, taste, eloquence, intelligence and transparency.
How nice would it be to give a little bit to Gu Xiyu?
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly: "I don't agree with what my aunt said. I think cousin Xiyu is simple, innocent, calm and elegant, and is much better than me." With Gu Xiyu's status, why should she act based on other people's faces?
After hearing this, Mrs. Zheng felt naturally happy and couldn't help but sigh again. What a pity. It would have been better if Ye Qinglan was not a commoner and had a higher status...
Entering the side hall, Gu Xiyu naturally sat down next to Ye Qinglan and childishly grabbed Ye Qinglan's hand and refused to let go.
Ye Qinglan laughed softly and said: "Cousin Xiyu, I'm here to accompany you this time, and I won't leave easily. You don't have to hold my hand all the time."
Gu Xiyu was a little stunned when her thoughts were seen through, and finally let go.
Mrs. Zheng felt comforted when she saw a smile on Gu Xiyu's face. Since Ye Qinglan left last time, Gu Xiyu has not really smiled in the past two months. She watched helplessly as Gu Xiyu changed back to before.
That withdrawn and silent look made her feel more anxious. Now she was finally fine. When Ye Qinglan came, Gu Xiyu suddenly seemed cheerful again.
Gu Xinian quietly looked at the smile on Gu Xiyu's lips, feeling both relieved and unspeakably sad.
Gu Xiyu has indeed grown up and started to have her own opinions and ideas. He, the eldest brother, is no longer the most important and irreplaceable person in her heart...
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Zheng said with a smile: "By the way, there is something I almost forgot to mention. The nun sent by the palace will arrive at the house in the afternoon. Sister Lan will accompany Yu'er to study together.
The rules are in place."
In the palace? Nanny?
When Ye Qinglan heard these two words, a hideous face full of folds appeared in her mind reflexively - Aunt Rong! Her expression suddenly became a little subtle. For a moment, she even forgot to ask why the palace sent a nun to teach her.
thing.
Fortunately, Mrs. Zheng quickly explained with a smile: "The Empress's birthday is coming soon, and the Emperor was particularly gracious and allowed everyone from the Dingguo Palace to enter the palace to celebrate the Empress's birthday. The rules in the palace are very strict, and Yu'er has been here for so many years.
This is your first time entering the palace, so the Queen has taken special care of you and specially assigned an experienced nanny to come to the palace. While there is still half a month left, I will teach you all the rules of the palace."
After a pause, he smiled and said: "The opportunity to enter the palace is rare. You must learn the rules seriously to avoid making mistakes and making people laugh."
you?
This happened quite suddenly, even though Ye Qinglan reacted quickly, she couldn't help but be stunned.
What Mrs. Zheng meant in her words was that she clearly wanted her to accompany Gu Xiyu into the palace. Palace, Queen, Your Majesty... Why does this constant string of words make people feel dizzy?
People who are obviously very far away from her world are suddenly coming to her alive. This kind of impact is really not something that ordinary people can bear.
No matter how courageous Ye Qinglan is, she can't help but gasp. TV series and novels say so, the palace is a very dangerous place. People often kneel and kowtow to be punished, and even die inexplicably. Can she not go!!!
When Mrs. Zheng saw that Ye Qinglan didn't say anything for a long time, she thought she was so surprised that she couldn't speak. She smiled and comforted her: "You have never been in the palace before, so you will inevitably be a little nervous for the first time. Don't worry, you and Yu'er will be with me when the time comes.
That’ll be fine.”
Wait, let’s stop for now!
Ye Qinglan coughed and said with a smile: "Aunt, I am naturally happy to accompany cousin Xiyu to learn the rules. But it is better to avoid entering the palace! I am of low status, how can I meet the nobles in the palace..."
"You are with Yu'er, who dares to think you are of low status?" Mrs. Zheng's tone was calm, but there was a hint of pride in her eyes.
Well, if others don’t dislike her, can she do it if she doesn’t want to go?
No wonder Gu Xinian was willing to lower his head and invite her to be his guest. No wonder Mrs. Zheng was so happy to see her coming. It turned out that the idea was for her to accompany Gu Xiyu into the palace. She thought it was strange before, she was just a concubine.
, even if he is on good terms with Gu Xiyu, it is not important enough that Gu Xinian needs to personally come and invite him! The relationship is to trick her first...
Ye Qinglan gritted her teeth and was about to politely refuse.
Gu Xinian looked over at the right time and said with a polite smile: "Yu'er has always been timid. If cousin Lan doesn't want to accompany her, I'm afraid she won't dare to enter the palace."
These words were exactly what Gu Xiyu wanted. Gu Xiyu nodded vigorously, then looked at her pitifully with her big dark eyes: "Cousin Lan, can you accompany me?"
This brother and sister are simply her nemesis!
Ye Qinglan sighed helplessly in her heart, then squeezed out a smile and nodded. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
