Chapter five hundred and twentieth IX: Returning home
What is home? It is not a gorgeous house or exquisite furniture, but the place where the loved ones are. That is the real home.
It has been a few months since Ye Qinglan married into the Dingguo Palace, but she has never looked forward to returning to the mansion more than now.
In addition to their husband and wife, there were also Zhang Yue and a few maids on the carriage, so there were quite a few people on the carriage. However, Gu Xinian held Ye Qinglan in his arms.
Since he didn't mind anymore, Ye Qinglan just shamelessly stayed in his arms, closed her eyes and silently counted his heartbeats, which was also a very rare and new experience.
Zhang Yue had long known that the two of them were in love, but seeing them so intimate in public just couldn't get used to it. He simply closed his eyes and fell asleep, which saved him a bit of embarrassment.
Ye Qinglan lay in Gu Xinian's arms and fell asleep in a daze.
When he opened his eyes, he was already lying on a familiar bed. The sound of steady breathing came to his ears. When he turned around, he saw Gu Xinian's tired face. After staying up for a whole day and night, and being exhausted both mentally and physically, even if
Even a tough person can't stand it...
Ye Qinglan was afraid of waking him up, so she simply closed her eyes again and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Her body was still a little sore, but the peace of mind brought by such a long sleep and returning to a familiar environment was enough to make Ye Qinglan feel full and content. Just as she was about to break free from Gu Xinian's arms, Gu Xinian
Nian also opened his eyes.
In the dim light of the morning, it is really a pleasant thing to embrace a new day with your loved one in your arms.
Gu Xinian kissed her lightly on the forehead. His voice was lazier: "Why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"I've been lying on the bed for the past two days, and I'm going to get moldy if I sleep any longer." Ye Qinglan smiled and said: "Besides, I came back late yesterday and didn't have time to say hello to the elders. They must also have a lot to say.
Ask me if I can get up early today."
Gu Xinian frowned reflexively: "You are still very weak, so it's better not to get out of bed and move around. If you have anything to do, it won't be too late to wait until you are completely recovered." Probably because he is used to being in a high position for a long time.
He spoke naturally with a commanding tone.
If it were in the past, Ye Qinglan would definitely feel uncomfortable again. However, after this poisoning incident, the relationship between the two has taken a step further. Even such shortcomings are cute in the eyes.
Ye Qinglan smiled and reassured: "I know you are worried about me, don't worry, I care about my body more than anyone else. It won't be a big deal if I take a few steps. If I really can't take it anymore, I promise to come back and rest after I leave, okay?"
good?"
After all the hard talk, Gu Xinian finally gave in reluctantly: "I'll be back in half an hour at most."
Ye Qinglan agreed without thinking. She knew that half an hour was definitely not enough. She walked to Jingxinyuan and waited until the whole family was gathered before going to Shunyitang. With Sun's temperament, she would not spend this month in the palace.
After asking clearly what happened there, he probably wouldn't let her back. If you think about it, even an hour might not be enough.
The maids quickly came in to help Ye Qinglan dress and wash up. Others were just fine, but Guiyuan came in with red eyes. When she saw Ye Qinglan, who looked slightly pale and looked sick, Guiyuan's nose felt sour, and tears suddenly came out of her eyes:
"Young mistress, I heard from Sister Ruixue that you were poisoned in the palace. This slave didn't sleep well all night..."
Ye Qinglan has always been partial to the honest and loyal Guiyuan. Seeing her like this, her heart warmed up. She smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, the imperial doctor has prescribed medicine for me. I'll be fine after just a few drinks. Now.
It's just that my face doesn't look good for the moment. You can look again in a few days and I'm sure it's the same as before. Okay. Stop crying and come and comb my hair."
Guiyuan obediently agreed and wiped her tears with her sleeves. In fact, the job of combing hair was usually done by Ruixue or Hongluan. Hongluan was clever and handy, and Ruixue was also thoughtful and knew how to comb hair in many ways. In comparison,
Next, Guiyuan is a bit clumsy and occasionally pulls a strand of hair.
However, Ye Qinglan remained calm and even praised with a smile: "Guiyuan's hands are really getting better and better!"
Guiyuan was naturally happy after hearing this and smiled happily.
Because her face was a little pale, she naturally had to put on some makeup to cover it up. Ruomei carefully applied powder to Ye Qinglan, picked a little rouge, and spread it evenly on her face. Her face really looked much better.
Ruomei looked at it for a few times, then picked up a thin eyebrow pencil and was about to draw eyebrows for Ye Qinglan. Suddenly she heard a calm voice: "Give it to me!"
Ruomei was startled, then realized what she was doing, and handed the eyebrow pencil to Gu Xinian with a smile. She winked at Ye Qinglan again, and after a thin layer of blush appeared on Ye Qinglan's face, she pursed her lips and withdrew with a smile.
.
Gu Xinian's elegant and slender hand held an eyebrow pencil and drew Ye Qinglan's eyebrows carefully.
The two of them were very close, and Ye Qinglan could clearly see his focused eyes. Looking down, he saw the straight bridge of his nose, and then down to his beautiful thin lips and smooth chin. If he was not careful, his eyes would stay there.
After a while...
Gu Xinian paused slightly in his movements, and then laughed in a low voice: "If you look at me like that again, I don't know what my eyebrows will look like."
Ye Qinglan deliberately glared at me and said coquettishly: "If you dare to draw my eyebrows crooked, I will sleep in the study tonight!"
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows, continued to move his hands slowly, and replied casually: "I don't mind sleeping in the study, I'm just worried that you won't be able to sleep alone..."
Ye Qinglan didn't hold back and burst out laughing. The smile blooming on the corner of her lips was more moving than the most beautiful flowers in the world.
Gu Xinian sighed, finally put the eyebrow pencil aside, leaned down and kissed her lips. Probably because he was concerned about her frail body, Gu Xinian was not too indulgent. The kiss was as gentle as a butterfly's.
It fell on the stamen of the flower, and it tasted for a while. He quickly raised his head, and then solemnly warned: "I'm going to draw the other eyebrow for you. If you tease me with a smile like this again, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Ye Qinglan bit her lip and couldn't help but smile, her eyes were full of water and she was extremely charming.
Gu Xinian couldn't help it, and lowered his head to kiss her for a while, then finally let her go. He concentrated on drawing her eyebrows.
By the time the couple walked out together, it was already two cups of tea later.
Rui Xue smiled and joked: "My servant usually paints her eyebrows in the blink of an eye at most. After all, the young master is very careful and has been painting for so long. This makes my servant ashamed."
Gu Xinian was in a good mood, so he didn't mind this little joke. Ye Qinglan felt sweet in her heart, and Zuo Guyan changed the subject: "Is breakfast ready? I haven't had a sip of water since yesterday.
, I’ve been hungry for a long time.”
Ruomei immediately smiled and said: "Breakfast has been prepared long ago. Please go to the dining room with the young master and the young mistress."
Gu Xinian hummed, held her soft white and delicate hand, and went to the dining room. The breakfast was exquisite and rich. There were four kinds of porridge alone, as well as various kinds of pasta and exquisite...
A table full of side dishes was laid out.
The couple sat down next to each other intimately and had breakfast.
After getting married, breakfast was mostly eaten in Jingxinyuan. The scene of the couple sitting together to have breakfast like now is very rare. It makes this morning a little more cozy and warm.
Ye Qinglan's appetite was very good. She drank two bowls of porridge and ate two soft steamed buns. She was still unsatisfied and was about to get the third one. Gu Xinian gave her a disapproving look: "The imperial doctor said
, the remaining toxins in your body have not been cleared, so your meals should be light and moderate. You have eaten a lot, so you can’t eat more."
Ye Qinglan muttered dissatisfiedly: "It doesn't bother me to care about things."
If it were in the past, the two of them might have quarreled over such a trivial matter. But after such an ordeal, the mentality of the two of them had subtly changed. Unknowingly, they each made some concessions silently.
.He tried his best not to act too domineering, and she tried her best to be more tolerant, so of course there would be no quarrels.
Just after breakfast, a familiar figure appeared.
"Sister-in-law!" Gu Xiyu trotted over in a hurry. The moment she saw Ye Qinglan, her eyes suddenly lit up and she threw herself into Ye Qinglan's arms without thinking: "You are finally back. You are not here these days, but I can't
I miss you so much!"
Speaking of which, Gu Xiyu has always been a little taller than Ye Qinglan. But when she throws herself into Ye Qinglan's arms so coquettishly, the scene is quite harmonious.
Ye Qinglan's actual age is nearly twice that of Gu Xiyu. She has always regarded Gu Xiyu as her sister in her heart. After marrying Gu Xinian, she became Gu Xiyu's sister-in-law. Her love for this sister-in-law is obvious to all. At this time, she smiled
He hugged Gu Xiyu and coaxed softly: "I miss you every day even in the palace!"
Gu Xiyu smiled happily, her pure smile was as innocent as a child's. It made people feel pity from the bottom of their hearts: "If you go to the palace in the future, I will go with you. I don't want to stay alone in the palace."
Already."
Ye Qinglan burst into laughter, and just as she was about to say something, Gu Xinian said lightly: "Don't worry, your sister-in-law will never go to the palace again."
Ye Qinglan: "..."
Gu Xiyu blinked, with confusion on her face: "Why?"
Gu Xinian said casually without changing his expression: "My aunt's illness has recovered and she doesn't need anyone to accompany her anymore. Therefore, Lan'er doesn't need to go to the palace anymore."
As for the thrilling things that happened in the palace, including Ye Qinglan's poisoning, it was better not to let Gu Xiyu know about it, so as not to scare her.
