"Thank God, thank God, the princess is back! Back!" When Xiao Xi helped Yin Ning back to the Prince Consort's Mansion, she once again thanked God excitedly, and said respectfully to Yin Ning, "I will go and prepare for the princess right away. Hot water, shower and change clothes.”
Yin Ning nodded, glanced sideways at Gu Qingtang beside him, and said sternly: "You are not allowed to come in while I am bathing, and you are not allowed to enter the palace alone, do you understand?"
Gu Qingtang shrugged and said with a smile: "Yes, Qingtang obeys the order." After saying that, he lowered his head and glanced at his waist, "I'll put the belt with you first. I'll go back to the study and change into clean clothes, okay?"
"Yeah."
"See you later, An Ning." Gu Qingtang smiled softly, turned around and walked towards the study.
Yin Ning watched her back walking away, always feeling uneasy in her heart. She kept a cautious eye, turned around and said to the guard waiting at the door of the Prince Consort's Mansion: "If the Prince Consort wants to leave the mansion, stop him first and report back immediately. This Palace."
"Yes."
Feeling slightly relieved, Yin Ning felt a bit of an unpleasant smell on her body. Thinking of An Tu's disgusting face today, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
Not long after, Gu Qingtang changed into a clean official uniform and sat beside the desk. She sharpened the ink, dipped it in her pen, thought for a moment, and then wrote something on the white paper.
"Hiss——"
After a while, she cut the white paper she had written on, folded it into ten small squares, and called out: "Come here."
"What are your orders, Prince Consort?" The boy waiting outside the door came in and lowered his head to ask.
Gu Qingtang sighed softly, "Go and find Xiao Xi."
"Yes."
After a while, Xiao Xi walked in from the outside with her head lowered, and said to Gu Qingtang: "See the Prince Consort."
"Xiao Xi, this matter must be done by you." Gu Qingtang waved to her and sighed, "Oh, it seems that those kites will be used for other purposes." As she said this, she motioned to Xiao Xi He looked at the ten small squares and marked them with a brush, from one to ten, and said seriously, "Starting from today, there are ten questions here. When you get the answers every day, leave the answers on the kite. Fly it outside the northwest corner of the imperial city. By the way, Xiao Wu Ding is still outside the city. He has the kite in his hand. You two can do this together."
"Prince-in-law, Xiao Xi doesn't understand." Xiao Xi looked at the little square in bewilderment and shook her head in confusion.
Gu Qingtang smiled faintly, "It's better not to understand some things, Xiao Xi, but remember, you have to take them apart one by one every day. It's only you and Xiao Wu who know about this. Don't let the princess know. ”
"Yes."
Looking at her worried look, Gu Qingtang smiled a lot deeper, "Is the princess taking a bath now?"
Xiao Xi nodded.
Gu Qingtang smiled with interest, "You put these questions away first, and I will wait for the princess to bathe today."
Xiao Xi's face suddenly burned up and she responded in a low voice, "Yes."
Gu Qingtang straightened his clothes, walked out of the study with a smile, and strode towards the bedroom.
"Wow——"
As soon as Gu Qingtang walked to the door, he heard the sound of water inside.
"See..."
"Shh, all of you, please step aside."
Gu Qingtang quickly dismissed the maid waiting at the door of the dormitory, opened the door and walked in.
Yin Ning leaned on the edge of the tub, narrowed her eyes and said, "Xiao Xi, come here, give me a squeeze on my shoulders."
Gu Qingtang walked quietly behind Yin Ning, rolled up his sleeves, put his gentle fingertips on Yin Ning's shoulders, and said softly: "I will serve the princess today, okay?"
"Gu..." Yin Ning was startled and hugged her arms tightly to her chest in shame, "You...you...you bullied me again!"
Gu Qingtang raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "How can this be considered bullying? I just want to give you a squeeze on your shoulders." As she said that, she looked at Yin Ning with something in her eyes. With a hint of nostalgia, "I am the same as Xiao Xi... we are both princesses. She can serve you, why can't I serve you?"
Yin Ning felt that there was something strange about these words, but she really had no way to refute it. She blushed and said angrily: "I...I can wash it myself..."
Gu Qingtang knelt down beside the tub. She lay on the edge and looked at Yin Ning with rosy cheeks with a smile, "You really don't want me to serve you?"
"No!" Yin Ning turned around and stammered, "You...you go out first..."
Gu Qingtang looked at Yin Ning's jade-like back and smiled mischievously, "If the spring peaches are ripe next year, can I ask the princess to give me a pair to taste?"
"Shameless!" Yin Ning glanced at her chest subconsciously, feeling her whole body burning even more, "If you don't get out, I'm going to be angry!"
"Wow——"
Gu Qingtang stretched out his hand, stirred it in the water, and said with a smile: "I'm talking about the kind of peach you eat, An Ning, where did you think you were going?"
"You..."
"Besides, if you have it, I have it too."
Yin Ning didn't have time to think about the meaning of Gu Qingtang's words, but felt even more ashamed, "Gu Qingtang, you are shameless!"
Gu Qingtang muttered: "We agreed to have a mandarin duck bath, does the princess want to cheat?"
"My lord...how did I promise you a mandarin duck bath?" Yin Ning's face turned red with embarrassment, and she turned away with her eyes widened, "Gu Qingtang, if you don't go out, I... I will never ignore you again!"
"Haha, An Ning, you asked me to go out." Gu Qingtang asked.
Yin Ning quickly added, "It's time to leave the dormitory!"
"Yes." Gu Qingtang stood up and took a deep look at Yin Ning, "An Ning, remember, Gu Qingtang will always like Yin Ning, forever."
Yin Ning looked at Gu Qingtang blankly, "Why did you suddenly say this?"
"I'm afraid you won't want me!" Gu Qingtang answered simply. She walked closer to Yin Ning, suddenly held her cheek, and took a careful sniff, "It smells good, An Ning does smell good."
Her beautiful face was so close in front of her, and the atmosphere at the moment was so ambiguous. Yin Ning couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of perfume, and felt a buzzing sound. Everything in front of her became blurry, except for a clear face. It's her Gu Qingtang.
Gu Qingtang leaned closer, gently rubbed the tip of Yin Ning's nose with the tip of his nose, moved his lips to her ear, and said quietly, "A Ning, in fact, I am just like sister Wan Niang..."
"Why did you suddenly mention her?" A strong uneasiness filled her heart. Yin Ning stared at Gu Qingtang's face closely, only feeling that her skin was really fair, fair and more like... a woman... …
No! Will not! Will not!
Gu Qingtang let go of her cheek and said with a smile, "I just want you best."
Yin Ning's tense heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She grabbed Gu Qingtang's hand in panic. She could only say one sentence, "You are my consort..."
Gu Qingtang smiled lightly and said, "Yes, the consort can't even take a mandarin duck bath."
"Why...why do you always say these rude and frivolous words?"
"This is the truth I want to say."
"How can anyone tell such truth?"
"In this situation, I actually want to say one more thing."
"What?"
Gu Qingtang glanced wildly under the water and felt his cheeks burning, "An Ning, I think..."
"Crash--!"
Yin Ning quickly tightened her body and sat at the bottom of the tub, saying shyly: "Gu Qingtang! You...you won't change your stubbornness!"
"You get scolded for telling the truth these days, alas." Gu Qingtang shook his head with a wry smile and straightened up, "Aning, then I'm leaving?"
"Get out!"
"Are you really leaving?"
"Out..."
"Oh, you can't bear to leave me?"
"..."
Gu Qingtang put down his rolled-up sleeves, smiled at Yin Ning, and strode out of the dormitory, not forgetting to tell the maid waiting outside the palace, "Take care of the princess."
Yin Ning's violent heartbeat finally calmed down. She gently touched the tip of her nose with her fingertips. With the words Gu Qingtang just said echoing in her mind, she couldn't help but smile hoarsely and said, "Gu Qingtang, you are bullying me." I, I will find your weakness one day and bully you back!"
"It's not good! It's not good!"
When Yin Ning changed her clothes, the guards at the door of the Prince Consort's Mansion hurried to the door of the bedroom and said in a hurry: "My Prince Consort... None of us can stop our Prince Consort, he left the mansion alone!"
"He...he..." Yin Ning's face darkened, and she walked out of the dormitory in shock. She gritted her teeth and said, "What are you still doing? Even if it means tying him up, I will kidnap him back!"
Uneasy heart palpitations jumped up violently. Yin Ning recalled what Gu Qingtang said just now. If she said "stay", maybe, maybe Gu Qingtang would really listen to her and stay.
Gu Qingtang, how can you keep your word? !
"To kill him, someone must come forward to take the blame, otherwise it will be difficult."
The words Nian Wanniang said suddenly appeared in her ears, and Yin Ning shook her head in panic, "Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"
"What are your orders from the princess?"
"Find out my court uniform, I want to go into the palace to see my brother!"
"Yes."
It was too easy to get rid of the generals in the Prince Consort's Mansion. As soon as Gu Qingtang stepped out of the Prince Consort's Mansion, he disappeared into the alley as if he had evaporated.
However, Gu Qingtang did not go directly to the palace, but went to the Taiwei's Mansion first. The person he asked to see was not Taiwei Nian, but Nian Wanniang, who had just returned to the mansion.
Nian Wanniang, who had just finished bathing and changing clothes, was a little surprised by Gu Qingtang's sudden visit. She didn't want to see her at first, but then she thought about it, maybe it was related to Antu's death today, so she ordered someone to invite her into the backyard. In the small pavilion.
"Master Gu, please." The maid brought a cup of hot tea to Gu Qingtang and bowed respectfully to Gu Qingtang.
"We haven't seen each other for a few days, and Xiaohong has become more energetic." Gu Qingtang teased casually, and the maid bowed her head and retreated with a smile in embarrassment.
Gu Qingtang took a sip of tea and caught a glimpse of Nian Wanniang walking over from the corner of her eye.
In the distance, the eldest princess Yin Ying, who was walking in the garden, saw Gu Qingtang, and she felt happy. She wanted to go up and say a few words, but she saw Nian Wanniang walking into the small pavilion, and she couldn't help but stop. .
"Princess?"
"Please step aside, I want to sit here quietly for a while." Yin Ying sat on the stone bench, looking at Gu Qingtang from a distance, thinking silently in her heart - Gu Shaofu, who can stay far away It’s okay to look at you.
