Under the moonlight, his eyes were as gentle as water, and his lips were full of a doting smile.
There were still tears on Ye Qinglan's face, but there was endless sweetness in her heart. Only at this moment did she feel like she was being loved and cared for wholeheartedly...
This kind of frank communication was the first time for them. The effect was also obvious. There was no tense confrontation, no wary testing of each other. Her sincerity was rewarded with his tolerance and understanding.
In the closest moments before, it was like there was a layer of veil between the two of them. Now, the barrier between them has finally disappeared. There was no hug, but it was more intimate than a hug.
Gu Xinian stretched out his hand and wiped away the tears on her face. After wiping away the tears, his big hand lingered freely on her fair and smooth cheek.
Ye Qinglan finally couldn't bear it and glared at him.
It’s not over yet, just eat the tofu and it’s almost done! There are still a lot of people around!
Gu Xinian smiled lowly and finally withdrew his hand, sighing with some regret: "I really want to hold you in my arms and kiss you hard."
Ye Qinglan blushed slightly and spat at him, her eyes full of charming charm.
When Gu Xinian looked at her like this, he felt that somewhere in his body was slowly waking up...
He moved unnaturally, and his voice was strangely hoarse: "You go back and rest early. I will come to see you tomorrow." The atmosphere in front of the flowers and under the moon was so charming that if he stayed any longer, he was really worried that he would not be able to control it.
An accidental act that one should not do...
In his unusually hot and bright gaze, Ye Qinglan's cheeks were burning. Her heart was soft and soft, and she let out a soft hum.
Gu Xinian stared deeply at Ye Qinglan, finally withdrew his gaze and turned around to leave.
After Gu Xinian left, Ye Qingning and Gu Xiyu turned around together. Looking at Ye Qinglan's shining eyes, Ye Qingning suddenly became jealous and teased in a low voice: "Look at your sweet and happy look, what did cousin Gu just say?
Are you talking sweetly?"
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled softly, but of course she refused to say anything. How could the private words between lovers be known to others?
Ye Qingning just joked casually and did not ask further questions. After joking for a while, the three of them returned to Danfeng Garden together.
Gu Xiyu lived with Ye Qinglan as usual. After washing, the two girls sat side by side on the bed and talked privately.
"...After the Lantern Festival, my mother asked me specifically again. She asked me if I really had to marry Shen Changan." When Shen Changan was mentioned, Gu Xiyu's fair and jade-like cheeks were stained with a thin layer of red.
flush.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, Xie Peng and Shen Changan appeared at the same time, and the purpose was obvious. After Mrs. Zheng learned what happened that night from Gu Xinian, she thought about it for a few days, and finally she was cautious about it.
Gu Xiyu talked for a long time and asked the question that had been in her heart for a long time.
Gu Xiyu nodded almost without hesitation.
Mrs. Zheng must have been prepared in her heart, so she was not too shocked this time. She was just stunned for a long time. Then she sighed: "Even so, I have nothing to say. It's just that your eldest brother hasn't gotten married yet. What do you do?"
You can't get ahead of your elder brother when it comes to your sister. It won't be too late to arrange your marriage to Shen Chang'an after your eldest brother gets married."
…
"Is this really what my aunt said?" Upon hearing this, Ye Qinglan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Gu Xiyu nodded shyly, her eyes full of joy.
Since Mrs. Zheng has nodded to this marriage, there is no resistance from Gu Hong. As for Sun and Gu Tong, they are even more in favor of it. The only thing that is unclear is Gu Xinian's attitude. .
Gu Xiyu whispered: "After the Lantern Festival, my elder brother's attitude seemed to have softened a lot. When Shen Changan came to the house, my elder brother even let me meet him once."
Ye Qinglan felt very relieved after hearing this. With Gu Xinian's temperament, it is not easy for him to give in to this step. If this continues, Gu Xiyu and Shen Changan will definitely get married in the near future. !
From that day on, Ye Qinglan lived in Dingguo Gongfu.
Gu Xinian came often if he wanted to, but unfortunately he was busy with official duties and had a lot of entertainment, so he didn't have much free time. Most of the time he came to take a quick look at her in the evening, and then had to leave in a hurry after not staying long. Sometimes the two of them didn't even have time to say a private word. .Such a short get-together can only relieve the pain of lovesickness. It cannot satisfy Gu Xinian at all.
But for Ye Qinglan, these days have been an unprecedented period of quiet joy. Her relationship with Gu Xinian has also made rapid progress. The two of them finally opened their hearts to each other, and there was no need to weigh things before speaking. Think later.
Gu Xinian even took the initiative to mention Shen Qiuyu's matter: "...you don't know yet! Shen Qiuyu's life in the Prince's Mansion has been very difficult recently. One of the concubines beside the Prince is pregnant, and she has been very favored recently. .The relationship between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess is far more harmonious than before, and with Concubine Lin, the Crown Prince rarely goes to Shen Qiuyu’s yard anymore.”
Ye Qinglan raised her delicate brows, deliberately smiled and teased: "You must feel distressed, right?"
Gu Xinian glanced at her with a half-smile: "If I say yes, will you be jealous?"
Ye Qinglan snorted softly and glared at him with a pretentious look: "I won't be jealous, I will just dump you and find a new love!"
"Don't even think about it." Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows lazily: "You are destined to be mine in this life, and no one can take it away from you."
Gu Xiyu, who was concentrating on painting on the side, did not listen to the conversation between the two at all. Ye Qingning also wanted to imitate Gu Xiyu, but it was a pity that her ears were sensitive. Even though they were five or six meters apart, the conversation between the two of them was still intermittent. got into her ears.
Ye Qingning rolled his eyes indecently and simply walked away. Then he ordered the maid to move the guqin.
The afternoon sun was warm, and the spring scenery was just right in the garden of Duke Dingguo. Gu Xiyu was painting, Ye Qingning was playing the piano, and Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian were sitting in a pavilion not far away talking. It was a beautiful and quiet scene.
Hearing the sound of the piano, Ye Qinglan couldn't help but think of a fragment, and the corners of her lips raised slightly.
Gu Xinian seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and laughed softly: "Since the birthday party last year, Shen Qiuyu has never played the piano again."
This is definitely a very painful thing for a woman whose exquisite piano skills are indispensable for a day. But Shen Qiuyu did it in order to show her true feelings. If it weren't for her different stance, Ye Qinglan would really want to praise her for her greatness. .
"How do you know so clearly about Shen Qiuyu?" Ye Qinglan asked out of pure curiosity, without any probing in her tone.
In the past, Gu Xinian probably would not have answered such a question head-on. But now he smiled lightly and said: "A few years ago, I quietly arranged for a few people to work in the Prince's Mansion. One of them was in Shen Qiuyu's yard. I work as a maid here. Naturally, every move she makes cannot escape my eyes."
Ye Qinglan thought for a while and suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, it's not difficult for you to take her life." As long as you secretly poison someone or use some other sinister means, Shen Qiuyu's life would have been long gone. No longer guaranteed.
Gu Xinian readily admitted: "Yes. However, this is too easy for her. Sometimes life is more painful than death!" Especially for a woman like Shen Qiuyu, let her live safe and sound, but watch her helplessly. Losing her favor and living in loneliness and regret day after day is the biggest punishment for her.
Ye Qinglan sighed sincerely: "You are so cruel!"
Gu Xinian thanked him politely: "Thank you for the compliment!"
"However, I also like you like this." Ye Qinglan smiled with a curved lip. She was surprised to see a flash of discomfort on Gu Xinian's face, and couldn't help but purse her lips and snicker.
It turns out that Gu Xinian also has such a cute side...
Gu Xinian stared at Ye Qinglan who was snickering proudly, lowered his voice and sighed: "I will marry you back home as soon as possible! If this continues, I really don't know how long I can survive." When it comes to the word "suffer", His voice was low and hoarse, but his eyes became hot.
Ye Qinglan felt a faint warmth in her ears, but she refused to show it on her face: "I'm only fourteen years old..."
"How old are you really?" Gu Xinian asked unexpectedly.
Ye Qinglan refused to tell the truth: "A little older than now." More than just a little older, she was already twenty-eight years old before the time travel, which was exactly twice as old as she is now. However, it is better not to tell him this kind of thing. Otherwise, she Wouldn't it be like an old cow eating young grass...
Gu Xinian's eyes flashed and he smiled leisurely: "You should be older than me, right?"
Ye Qinglan refused to admit it even to death: "Of course not."
Gu Xinian didn't say anything, but just smiled incomprehensibly. His joking eyes clearly said that he was already an adult, so stop pretending to be an ignorant girl!
Ye Qinglan coughed and said: "Anyway, no matter how old I was before, I am only fourteen years old now, and I haven't even had haircuts yet!" A woman is only of fifteen years old when she has haircuts!
Gu Xinian nodded: "Okay, then we'll get married when you're old enough." Just grit your teeth and endure it for more than half a year!
Before Ye Qinglan could protest, Gu Xinian looked over again with that irresistible gentle look: "Okay?"
...The beauty trap is the most despicable and shameless thing!
Ye Qinglan cursed angrily in her heart, and reluctantly responded: "I can't make the decision on this kind of thing, let the elders discuss it."
These words were enough! Gu Xinian raised his thin lips and began to secretly figure out how to work hard with his father-in-law...
At this moment, Zheng Junyan came over in a hurry. He was walking in a hurry and looked solemn, which made Ye Qingning startled: "What happened?"
Zheng Junyan glanced at the affectionate man and woman in the pavilion not far away, and then whispered: "Something happened to Cousin Meng!"
Ye Qingning was startled and stood up suddenly.
Ye Qinglan seemed to have noticed something and looked over. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
