Ye Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but feel a little bit ashamed.
Although she has deceived Gu Xiyu more than once, it is really difficult to lie to such an innocent and pure girl. Not to mention, Gu Xiyu is "protecting" out of her own position and ideas.
She...
Ye Qinglan left the pavilion, changed direction naturally, and walked to Ye Qingning's side.
Ye Qingning was sitting under a tree playing the piano, about ten meters away from the pavilion. Gu Xinian was on the other side of the pavilion, so they were further apart.
Seeing Ye Qinglan coming over, Ye Qingning did not stop the movements in his hands, but lowered his voice and teased: "Why did you come to my place if you didn't go to Cousin Gu?"
"Stop making fun of me." Ye Qinglan smiled bitterly: "Cousin Xiyu is very determined. I don't want to make her angry."
Ye Qingning gave her advice: "This is not easy, just express your feelings to her directly." Gu Xiyu is resolute now because Ye Qinglan did not say it clearly. If Ye Qinglan told Gu Xiyu that she and Gu Xinian were really in love with each other.
They are in love with each other, and there is no way Gu Xiyu can stop it!
...This method is indeed simple and effective, but she still wants to see more of Gu Xinian's deflated appearance, so she is not willing to expose this layer so early.
Ye Qinglan immediately asked him: "Sixth sister, how about I play a song too?"
Ye Qingning responded with a smile, stood up and stepped aside. Ye Qinglan sat down with a smile, pressed the strings with both hands, and played with them gently, and the tinkling sound of the piano began to sound.
Compared with Ye Qingning's superb and proficient piano skills, Ye Qinglan's piano skills can only be regarded as mediocre. However, it is no problem to play some simple piano music. With her fingers briskly, the piano sound immediately changed from soothing to lively and cheerful, which made people excited.
My mood also soared.
Ye Qingning's sharp eyes caught sight of a figure walking over slowly, and when she was about to say hello, the other person quickly shook her head at her. Ye Qingning pursed her lips and smiled, and as expected, she didn't say anything again. After the figure approached, she simply said nothing.
He walked away lightly.
Ye Qinglan, who kept her head down and focused on playing the piano, had no idea that someone had changed behind her.
A young man in a moon-white brocade robe stood quietly behind her. From his angle, he could only see her long black and silky hair, small white ears, and slender and graceful neck.
He had never looked at her so quietly and carefully.
Every time they met, they were either quarreling or competing with each other, and most of the time they had to keep a distance and pretend to be distant. It was so peaceful and quiet like this now, it was really unique. He just looked at her quietly, and his mood was unprecedentedly happy and peaceful.
calm.
Ye Qinglan had been playing for a long time, her fingers were a little weak, and she accidentally played the wrong note. She couldn't help but laugh at herself: "I'm doing a lot of tricks in front of Sixth Sister today." As he spoke, he raised his head with a smile, and faced the unexpected pair of words.
When he saw the dark eyes outside, he couldn't help but be stunned.
When... did he come over?
Those eyes that were always unfathomable were now filled with a gentle smile. It almost made people drown in them, unable to escape: "Who said you were just doing your own thing? I heard it very well." It was obviously a teasing tone.
.But there is an unusual kind of intimacy. It is less cold and tit-for-tat in the past, but more gentle and doting.
...How shameless! He actually used a beauty trick on her!
Ye Qinglan despised his behavior, but she couldn't deny that she really liked this feeling. After all, women are emotional animals. No matter how strong and independent a woman is, she cannot refuse such tenderness.
Seeing that she remained silent, Gu Xinian's smile deepened: "You're tired, how about I play a song for you?"
Ye Qinglan's heart moved. She responded with a smile: "I have long heard that cousin Gu's piano skills are unparalleled, and I want to learn from him today." Gu Xinian's piano skills are superb. But since the day Shen Qiuyu betrayed him and married the prince, , he never touched the piano again. I didn’t expect that he would be so interested today.
Gu Xinian was actually a little surprised by what he blurted out. However, now that he had spoken the words, he would never take them back. Back then, he had secretly made a vow in his heart that he would never touch her again if the blood feud was not avenged. The piano and the like were of course forgotten.
Ye Qinglan stood up, and Gu Xinian elegantly sat down in front of the guqin. He randomly fiddled with the strings a few times to try out the sound, and the long-lost familiarity came to his heart again. He naturally played his favorite qin music.
Once the master takes action, it is indeed extraordinary.
The melodious and beautiful sound of the piano is like a gurgling stream flowing through a mountain stream, like a cheerful oriole singing on a branch, or like a shy girl confiding her love in the ear of her lover. It makes the listener mesmerized.
The attention of the maids was attracted, and they gradually came closer unconsciously. Gu Xiyu, who was painting in the pavilion, also stopped painting and listened to the music in a daze.
Ye Qingning, who was standing next to her, was very intoxicated and couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't heard my cousin play the piano for many years, and he is indeed far better than me." A true piano master can not only play the piano fluently, but also It can make the listeners feel as if they are actually there. From this point of view, Gu Xinian is a well-deserved master.
Gu Xiyu also sighed softly: "My eldest brother has not played the piano for a long, long time. Ever since Shen Qiuyu got married, my eldest brother has never touched the piano again."
The lovers who met under the crabapple tree and played the piano together have now become the crown prince's concubine. But Gu Xinian is still alone. Gu Xiyu always feels very gloomy every time she thinks about this. So, Gu Xinian said jokingly. She didn't believe in marrying Ye Qinglan at all, nor did she take it to heart.
But at this moment, she suddenly wasn't sure...
The young man playing the piano under the tree had soft eyebrows, raised lips, and smiling eyes. The brilliance radiating from the inside out was so dazzling that people could not ignore it. Gu Xiyu had seen that kind of brilliance in Shen Changan's eyes before. . She knew that it was the look a man would have when facing a woman he likes.
Big brother...do you really like Cousin Lan too?
Gu Xiyu stared blankly at her radiant brother, then looked at Ye Qinglan who was standing by with a smile, and began to think seriously.
"Cousin Xiyu," Ye Qingning's voice sounded low: "Haven't you seen it yet? My cousin and my tenth sister really like each other. If the two of them can be together, they must be the most suitable couple... "
"But, what if eldest brother hasn't forgotten Shen Qiuyu?" Gu Xiyu retorted unexpectedly: "That's too unfair to Cousin Lan."
Ye Qingning smiled and said: "How could this be! If my cousin hadn't forgotten Shen Qiuyu, he wouldn't have accepted Cousin Lan."
"That's not certain." Gu Xiyu still insisted: "Anyway, before I'm sure that my eldest brother really likes Cousin Lan, I don't agree with Cousin Lan to associate with him. Otherwise, Cousin Lan will always suffer in the end." Of course eldest brother's happiness is important, but cousin Kelan's happiness is equally important.
For the first time in his life, Ye Qingning experienced Gu Xiyu's stubbornness. After a long time of persuasion, it had no effect. He was helplessly defeated: "Well, since you are so persistent, there is nothing I can do." She actually wanted to help Gu Xi. It's a pity that I am so young, but I am powerless.
Gu Xiyu stopped talking, but stood up and trotted over with her skirt in hand.
Gu Xinian had already caught sight of Gu Xiyu's actions out of the corner of his eye. He looked at Gu Xiyu's unhappy pretty face and sighed in a low voice: "Yu'er is here." It seemed that he and Ye Qinglan had a rare good time together. It will be over soon.
Ye Qinglan was immersed in the beautiful music of the piano. She was slightly startled when she heard the words, and immediately reacted, teasingly saying: "When Shen Changan comes to see Cousin Xiyu again in the future, you might as well think more about your mood at the moment. Maybe. There won’t be such fierce opposition.”
Gu Xinian rarely said anything to refute. The main reason was that Gu Xiyu was already in front of him and it was too late to say anything...
Gu Xiyu first smiled at Gu Xinian: "Brother, I haven't heard you play the piano for a long time. You play so beautifully."
Gu Xinian smiled and was about to say something when he saw Gu Xiyu holding Ye Qinglan's hand with a smile: "Cousin Lan, I have already made a sketch. Please hurry up and see if there is anything else that needs to be modified. "
Ye Qinglan agreed with a smile and followed Gu Xiyu back to the pavilion.
Gu Xinian looked at the figures of the two girls and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He sighed secretly in his heart. He originally thought that the biggest resistance between him and Ye Qinglan would come from his elders, and Gu Xiyu would definitely be happy to see it happen. Really? Unexpectedly, Gu Xiyu was the first to speak out against...
What Ye Qinglan just said came to mind again. When he firmly opposed Gu Xiyu and Shen Changan's relationship, would Gu Xiyu feel so helpless and uncomfortable?
For the first time in his life, Gu Xinian began to reflect...
Of course, this definitely does not mean that he will change his attitude and view of Shen Changan. He still firmly believes that a vulgar martial artist like Shen Changan is not worthy of his delicate and kind sister.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw a maid hurriedly running over to report: "Young lady, Mr. Shen from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion is here. He handed over his name card and is waiting at the concierge."
Gu Xinian's smile suddenly disappeared. On the contrary, Gu Xiyu pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes shining with joy.
Ye Qingning said naturally: "Go and invite Mr. Shen to Danfeng Garden. We will go back soon..."
"Wait!" Gu Xinian's voice suddenly sounded.
Gu Xiyu's heart tightened and she glanced at Ye Qinglan subconsciously. Ye Qinglan gave her a comforting look. This was in the Zheng Guogong's mansion. Even if Gu Xinian was unhappy, he couldn't stop the guests from entering!
I don’t know if Gu Xiyu understood the hint in her eyes. However, Gu Xiyu’s expression became much calmer.
Gu Xinian walked over expressionlessly and said calmly: "My cousin is not in the house, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go to Danfeng Garden. It's better to invite him to Songtao Garden! Let me greet him." ( To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
