"Boom!"
When the door to the wing was knocked, Gu Qingtang reluctantly let go of Yin Ning's lips, grinned triumphantly, and said loudly: "Come in."
Yin Ning wanted to scold Gu Qingtang, but Mingyue had already pushed the door open, so Yin Ning had to adjust her clothes calmly. Little did she know that such a small move in Mingyue's eyes would make her a little more ambiguous. mean.
"Prince-in-law?" Mingyue glanced at Gu Qingtang thoughtfully, with a suppressed smile in her eyes. She lowered her head and carefully placed the wine on the table. She took a step back and saluted Yin Ning, " The servant pays homage to Her Royal Highness."
Yin Ning looked at her carefully. Although she was beautiful, as Gu Qingtang said, she was just an inconspicuous maid.
"I heard from my consort that you are good at tying knots?"
"Go back to the princess, please wait a moment." Ming Yue said, then she picked up the jug and poured two glasses of wine for Gu Qingtang and Yin Ning, then respectfully offered the consort to the princess, "Please come first, the consort and the princess." Have a drink and let the servant tie the knot to show off one's appearance."
"Aning, please." Gu Qingtang handed Yin Ning a glass of wine.
Yin Ning pushed Gu Qingtang's hand away and went to get another glass, "I have my own hands, so I don't need you to serve me."
Gu Qingtang smiled bitterly and looked at Mingyue, only to see Mingyue wink at her, as if to indicate that the wine had been tampered with.
"Aning, the wine at Chunfeng Tower is always sweet. Just drink this glass and you'll be fine. Otherwise, if you get drunk, I'll have to carry you back home."
"I don't care about your back!" After saying that, Yin Ning lowered his head and looked at the wine in the glass. Just one sip of the aroma of wine that hit his face made him feel drunk.
Gu Qingtang reminded, "If you are really afraid of getting drunk, you won't drink."
"Are I still afraid of you?!" Yin Ning drank in a low voice, raised her head and drank the glass of wine. She only felt the strong wine juice entering her stomach, and her drunkenness instantly amplified a hundred times. She raised her head When she looked at Gu Qingtang, her vision was blurry and her features could no longer be seen clearly.
"Aning?" Gu Qingtang quickly put down the cup and went to help Yin Ning, but was pushed away by Yin Ning.
"Go...go away!"
The medicinal effect in this wine was really powerful. After pushing Gu Qingtang away, Yin Ning's remaining rationality disappeared without a trace in an instant. His vision went dark and he fainted in Gu Qingtang's arms.
Gu Qingtang looked at Mingyue seriously, "What medicine did you use?"
Ming Yue replied: "It's just a drug with added medicinal properties. Don't worry, she will sleep for five hours before she wakes up. This medicine will not hurt her body."
Gu Qingtang said in confusion: "I had a way to coax her to leave, so why did you just kill her with drugs?"
Ming Yue said in a deep voice: "This is the second time that the little princess has led troops to surround Chunfeng Tower. What do you want the prince to think? Qingtang, I advise you, don't forget your identity. The prince will not want to A dangerous chess piece, if you continue to mess around with the little princess, I'm afraid something will happen to you."
Gu Qingtang smiled lightly and said: "There is no need to wait for the prince to take action, I'm afraid someone is already targeting me."
Ming Yue was startled, "Who?"
Gu Qingtang smiled meaningfully, but did not directly answer Mingyue's words, "Today, the little princess suddenly brought people to Chunfeng Tower to kill. Someone is definitely causing trouble. I must find out about this matter." After saying, She added, "It's enough for me to investigate this matter."
Ming Yue looked at her worriedly, "Qingtang, if repaying kindness costs your own life, is it really worth it? I remember you once said that only when people are alive can they have hope."
Gu Qingtang smiled, "For An Ning, it's worth it, and for the hope to come true, I have to live." As he said that, Gu Qingtang thought of something, "In recent days, I learned about something from Taiwei Nian. According to the news, the Royal Court of Dache seems to be sending envoys to make friends with me, Daling. If the prince wants to get more information, he must keep my chess piece no matter how much he hates it."
"That's not right. Didn't the King of Dachuche have an appointment with the prince to plan something together? Why did he suddenly come to visit?" Mingyue was surprised again.
Gu Qingtang blinked and said with a smile: "Sister Mingyue, think about it, I have been doing a lot of mischief in the past few days, and the prince will naturally dislike it, so if I don't instigate Taiwei Nian to secretly infiltrate the powerful forces, , I’m just afraid it will become more and more worthless.”
"You are so brave!"
"The cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks. This principle has been used for thousands of years. You and I are both chess pieces. If you are too determined, I'm afraid you will die faster." Gu Qingtang looked at the bright moon steadily, "In addition to protecting Good An Ning, I have to protect you and Yun'er, you are my best friends in this world, I won't let anything happen to you two."
Ming Yue sighed, "I just want to live a safe life with Yun'er."
"The prince and Lieutenant Nian have not decided the winner for a day, and you and I are both useful chess pieces." After Gu Qingtang said solemnly, he smiled and said, "Of course, as long as it is a chess game, there will be an end to the game. One day, so we must find a way away from the chessboard before the end of the game. This is the way for you and me to save ourselves."
"Will she go with you?" Mingyue felt warm after hearing this, and glanced at the little princess Yin Ning, "She has been cute and cute since she was a child. Is she really willing to give up her wealth and glory for you and escape with you? ”
Gu Qingtang just shook his head and sighed, "As I said, if one day she finds someone who treats her well, as long as she tells me to let go, I will..."
"Letting go is not something the Gu Qingtang I know would do." Mingyue suddenly walked up to Gu Qingtang, lowered her body slightly, and pulled up the red thread tied to the little fingers of Gu Qingtang and Yin Ning. He smiled and said, "The red thread has been tied, and the bright moon is the witness. Once this concentric knot is tied, no matter what, you can't be the one who pulls the red thread apart."
Gu Qingtang nodded and smiled: "Sister Mingyue has already spoken, how dare I disobey her?"
"Poor talk!" Mingyue tied a knot and rolled her eyes at Gu Qingtang, "I'd better leave your glib words to the little princess."
Gu Qingtang said with a bad smile: "That's right. As for Sister Mingyue's glib tongue, it's better to leave it to Yun'er, haha."
"Are you looking for a fight?"
"Sister Mingyue, if you don't hit me, will I teach you another move?"
"Say!"
"Promise me first not to hit me."
"..."
"Forget it, forget it, I said that's it, come on." Gu Qingtang motioned for Mingyue to come close to her face.
Ming Yue came closer and heard Gu Qingtang whisper something. Her face instantly turned red and she stamped her feet and said angrily: "You are a girl, how can you be so full of bad things?!"
"You can't blame me. The most developed thing in my hometown is communication. It's easy to understand these things." Gu Qingtang shrugged innocently, bent down and picked up the little princess, "I'll carry it first. Aning has returned home, it would be good for her to rest more."
Ming Yue nodded, watching Gu Qingtang carrying Yin Ning out of the wing, all the way out of Chunfeng Tower, disappearing from sight, and murmured, "Qingtang, what kind of place is your hometown? ”
Today's Daling Capital, because the little princess led troops to capture her husband, and was later carried back to the Prince Consort's Mansion by the Prince Consort in broad daylight, gave the people a lot of gossip.
I thought I could see the little princess making a big fuss in Chunfeng Tower, but I never expected that in the end, the prince-in-law would carry the princess on his back and return to the prince-son-in-law's house with great love. Now the rumors are vividly describing the relationship between the little princess and the prince-son-in-law. The lingering love between them, every word that fell into Nian Wanniang's ears was heartbreaking.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Nian Wanniang smashed the wine glass in her hand to the ground, shocking the guests in the restaurant to cast surprised looks.
"What are you looking at!" the accompanying general shouted, forcing the guests to quickly lower their heads to eat their food and drinks, not daring to look at this side again.
Nian Wanniang sat down on the sloping railing, trying to calm herself down. She raised her tearful eyes and looked in the direction of the Prince Consort's Mansion, and said to herself: "Aning, do you really like him? Even if he is just a father. I have a dog and you like him too?”
With deep hatred welling up in her heart, Nian Wanniang suppressed the other words she wanted to ask in her heart, "Just because I am also a woman, you can't accept the way I treat you at all?"
In the Prince Consort's Mansion, the sun is shining brightly and the pear blossoms are rustling.
Xiao Xi, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the prince-in-law walking over with the sleeping little princess on his back from a distance. She quickly walked up to meet her, looked at the little princess's face anxiously, and asked anxiously: "Princess, is she angry?" Faint? ”
As Gu Qingtang walked away, he smiled and said: "Xiao Xi, do you even think that I am the kind of annoying guy who always makes the princess unhappy?"
Xiao Xi knew that she had made a mistake, and she quickly lowered her head and said, "I made a mistake, my slave." After saying that, she saw the red knots tied by Gu Qingtang and Yin Ning's little fingers, and exclaimed in surprise and joy, "This It’s a concentric knot!”
Gu Qingtang smiled and looked far away into the depths of the Prince Consort's Mansion, "Yes, the knot of the same heart, after tying it, never untie the knot of the same heart."
Xiao Xi stroked her palm and said, "I hope the consort and the princess will live long!"
Gu Qingtang nodded and praised: "Xiao Xi, your eloquence has improved a lot in the past few days. I'll reward you!" After saying that, Gu Qingtang stepped into the Prince Consort's Mansion and told Xiao Xi, "A Ning is too drunk. You're drunk, go ahead and prepare some hot water, and then tell the cook to make some stomach-warming dishes."
"Yes!"
Not long after, Gu Qingtang carried Yin Ning to the bedroom. She put Yin Ning on the bed very gently, bent down and took off her shoes.
Xiao Xi walked in with hot water, and when she saw Gu Qingtang's gentle movements, she felt so envious that she couldn't help but laugh.
Gu Qingtang turned around and smiled, "Xiao Xi, put the hot water here and you can step back."
"Yes."
Seeing Xiao Xi exiting the dormitory, Gu Qingtang rubbed his hands and put his right hand against the wall of the copper basin to make his palm even hotter. Then he turned around and placed his hot right palm on Yin Ning's lower abdomen. Move slowly.
The heat penetrated through the ironed clothes, making the discomfort in Yin Ning's lower abdomen much relieved.
Whenever the heat in his palms cooled down a bit, Gu Qingtang put his right hand against the wall of the copper basin. After the heat returned, he gently rubbed Yin Ning's lower abdomen.
"A Ning..." Gu Qingtang's left hand fingers tightly clasped Yin Ning's right hand. She stared blankly at the concentric knot hanging between their hands, with smiles in her heart and eyes, "You, don't even think about running away from me. The palm of your hand."
