Gu Xiyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sweetly.
Ye Qinglan secretly despised herself. When she met Gu Xiyu, she lost even the slightest principle. However, looking at this attitude, she couldn't agree even if she wanted to.
No matter what, just think of it as an eye-opener. Even in ancient times, there were definitely very few people who were lucky enough to enter the palace and see the emperor and queen. If it weren't for Gu Xiyu's glory, it would be a mere three-bedroom concubine in the Changyuan Uncle's Mansion.
How can a woman have a chance to enter the palace?
Only then did Mrs. Zheng react. She glanced at Ye Qinglan in surprise: "Why, don't you want to enter the palace?" Being lucky enough to see Tianyan is a great honor for a noble girl. If she is the queen,
After seeing it, it is easy to find a good marriage. I don’t know how many people want to go but can’t, but she doesn’t want to go?
Only then did Ye Qinglan realize that something was wrong with her behavior just now, and said with a smile: "My aunt misunderstood. Of course I want to go to the palace and see the world, but I am a little uneasy, fearing that I will accidentally say or do the wrong thing and be made fun of.
"
Mrs. Zheng did not doubt that he was there, and nodded with a smile: "Your concerns are somewhat reasonable. In the palace, it is no different than elsewhere. You must always remember the rules and not be rude in the slightest. Don't worry, Grandma Rong will do it.
I will live in the mansion for half a month and teach you the rules of the palace every day..."
Grandma Rong!!!
Ye Qinglan couldn't hold it back and chuckled. What a coincidence, this nun from the palace really had the surname Rong.
The way she tried to hold back her laughter fell into Gu Xiyu's eyes.
Gu Xiyu asked in a low voice: "Why are you laughing?" Learning the rules is a very hard thing. When she thought about having to learn the rules for half a month, she had the urge to frown and sigh. Ye Qinglan could still laugh...
Ye Qinglan responded quickly: "I am very happy that I can learn the rules with you, and naturally I want to smile."
Gu Xiyu was coaxed to smile, and suddenly she felt that learning the rules that was about to begin was not so difficult to accept.’
Gu Xinian didn't know what he was thinking, so he remained silent. His deep eyes paused for a moment on Ye Qinglan's smile, and then moved away.
Ye Qinglan was too lazy to ponder his thoughts, and did not even look at him. She only talked to Gu Xiyu in a low voice. Occasionally chatting with Mrs. Zheng for a few words, she was not lonely at all.
After lunch, we went to Lengyue Pavilion to settle down.
Ye Qinglan stayed in the same guest room as last time. It was fully equipped with everything and was neatly packed. All she had to do was place the few luggage. Ruixue led Guiyuan and the others and packed everything in less than half an hour.
Gu Xiyu stayed in Ye Qinglan's house and refused to leave. Without Gu Xinian and Mrs. Zheng around, the two talked much more casually.
"How are you doing these days?" Ye Qinglan asked with a smile.
Gu Xiyu nodded first, then shook her head. After thinking about it, she continued to nod.
Ye Qinglan burst into laughter: "You confused me. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
Gu Xiyu bit her lips and said in a low voice: "My eldest brother, mother and father are very good to me. However, I always feel bored." When Ye Qinglan was here, life was relaxed and happy every day. But when she left.
It seems that the source of my laughter has been taken away, and every day goes by calmly. It always seems like something is missing.
Gu Xiyu was not good at words and didn't know how to describe this loneliness.
Ye Qinglan felt pity in her heart and quietly held Gu Xiyu's hand. It was already early summer and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. But Gu Xiyu's hand was slightly cold. But Ye Qinglan's hand was as warm and soft as usual.
.
Gu Xiyu only felt that her hands were slowly being warmed by the covering, and her heart also became warm.
Ye Qinglan's voice rang in her ears again: "I heard from Mother Huang that you and Cousin Gu had a fight, right?"
Gu Xiyu hummed. Her eyes were full of grievance: "I want to find you, but he always refuses."
It was the first time she wanted to go to Changyuan Uncle's Mansion. The eldest brother happened to be sick. After a few days, she recovered and she said she wanted to go again. Then the eldest brother found other reasons. Once or twice was enough, but several times in a row
This happened every time, so something was wrong. Although she was simple and naive, she was by no means stupid, and she quickly guessed what her eldest brother was up to.
The eldest brother didn't want her to continue to interact with Ye Qinglan at all.
She was annoyed and angry, and finally couldn't help but question her elder brother.
"...Elder brother's face was so ugly at that time." Gu Xiyu recalled Gu Xinian's face at that time, still a little scared: "But, I am really angry. You are obviously so good to me, why doesn't he like you? So?
, I just had a few arguments with him..."
When Ye Qinglan heard this, she didn't know what to feel in her heart. She subconsciously held Gu Xiyu's hand tightly, as if she wanted to transfer all her strength to Gu Xiyu through such an action.
Gu Xiyu's slightly pale face turned slightly rosy, and she continued: "I told him that if he doesn't allow me to associate with you, I will ignore him in the future."
If this sentence had come from someone else's mouth, it would have been a joke that could not be taken seriously. But when it came from Gu Xiyu's mouth, people did not dare to question her determination when she spoke.
Although Ye Qinglan had already heard some things from Huang's mother's mouth, and guessed that most of the reasons for their brother and sister's quarrel were because of herself. But at this moment, she was still very shocked. Her hands were shaking slightly.
Gu Xiyu, how can I be so virtuous and capable as to be so loved by you...
Gu Xiyu showed a rare sly smile: "Brother always feels sorry for me. When he saw that I was really angry, he gave in." After saying that, he looked at Ye Qinglan eagerly: "How about it, am I very powerful?
?”
It's like a child who quietly does something good and then waits for adults to praise him.
The corners of Ye Qinglan's eyes were a little moist, but the gentlest smile appeared on her face: "Well, cousin Xiyu is really amazing."
The corners of Gu Xiyu's lips were raised high, and she smiled happily. She was very beautiful, but her expression was always a little gloomy. This smile was like spring flowers blooming all over the mountains and fields, making people dazzled.
At this moment, Ye Qinglan suddenly remembered that Gu Xiyu was only a few months younger than Ye Qingning. She was thirteen years old and was considered a young girl. According to the custom at this time, the marriage should be arranged within a year or two at most.
That's right.
But, with Gu Xiyu like this, what kind of husband should she find?
She must be a good match, have good looks and character, and have a tolerant heart to tenderly care for Gu Xiyu. It is best to be loyal and never take concubines, otherwise, Gu Xiyu will definitely not be able to cope with such a house.
Fight. By the way, there is also the unruly and evil mother-in-law, so they must be retreated quickly. Otherwise, it would be strange for Gu Xiyu to be stubborn and not be bullied because of her gentleness and few words.
Where can I find such a candidate?
Ye Qinglan sighed quietly, suddenly able to understand the mood of Gu Hong and Mrs. Zheng a little bit.
Gu Xiyu had no idea what Ye Qinglan was thinking, and smiled innocently to herself: "From now on, you will always live in Lengyue Pavilion, don't go back, okay?"
Ye Qinglan immediately came to her senses and responded with a smile: "That won't work. I have to go back."
Gu Xiyu bit her lip and said nothing, a trace of grievance and reluctance appeared in her eyes.
Ye Qinglan patiently coaxed: "It was my fault last time. I didn't come to see you after I went back. This time I will keep my promise. As long as you miss me in the future, I will come to see you."
Gu Xiyu was coaxed and became happy again, her big eyes sparkling: "Okay, from now on you will visit me twice a month and stay for half a month each time."
…
Didn't Mother Huang say that Gu Xiyu has become more silent and withdrawn than before? But look at her smart appearance, how can she look like an autistic person?
Ye Qinglan couldn't help but changed the subject: "Have you been to the palace before? What is it like in the palace?"
Gu Xiyu's attention was indeed attracted, she shook her head and said: "No." After thinking about it, she added: "Yes, it was only when I was very young."
After falling into the water at the age of six, her temperament became very cowardly and introverted, and she refused to see outsiders at all. Although Mrs. Zheng wanted to take her with her every time she entered the palace, she was worried that her appearance would cause trouble in the palace, so she had to
Leave her behind.
Ye Qinglan was very curious about the Queen Gu in the palace, and asked with a smile: "Do you still remember what the Queen looks like?"
Gu Xiyu shook her head without thinking. The queen could not leave the palace easily, and she had never been to the palace. She had only seen her a few times when she was very young. Now that she has not seen her for several years, she can no longer remember her appearance.
"Then do you know Queen Gu's likes and dislikes?" Ye Qinglan continued to ask without giving up. Since entering the palace has become a foregone conclusion, there must be some preparation. At least you should know Queen Gu's likes and dislikes, so as not to accidentally violate taboos.
Facts have proved that she still overestimated Gu Xiyu's emotional intelligence. How could a person who can't even remember his own aunt's appearance remember the other person's preferences?
Gu Xiyu looked at Ye Qinglan with a blank expression.
Ye Qinglan also understood that she had asked a stupid question, and couldn't help but laugh at herself: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
Gu Xiyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Are you afraid of entering the palace?" Otherwise, why would you ask these questions?
Ye Qinglan smiled and replied: "Fear is out of the question." It's just that she wasn't very interested in that place. Affected by the influence of TV dramas, the word "palace" in her eyes represented endless fighting and struggle.
It was dark. She just wanted to live a peaceful life, and she naturally wanted to stay away from such a place that could endanger her life at any time.
"If you don't want to go, I'll go and tell mother." Gu Xiyu made up her mind, stood up suddenly, and pulled Ye Qinglan to walk out.
Ye Qinglan felt warm in her heart and said with a smile: "Who said I don't want to go? Being able to enter the palace to open up one's horizons is a good thing that many people can only dream of! I was just too pleasantly surprised and was a little confused for a moment."
Is it true? Gu Xiyu's eyes were full of doubts.
Ye Qinglan continued without changing her expression, her heart not beating: "How could I lie to you! I really want to go." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, you
