Chapter 23 Cousin Chen is timid

Although the scenery of Taoyuan is beautiful, you can meet Princess Changhua on the outside. If you go further in, you may not know who you will meet again.

Besides, today the ladies are all here for him. The ladies who just left are looking at him reluctantly. After they go back, they will definitely find a way to meet him again.

After thinking again and again, Shen Qiqi looked at Gu Tingshu, with resistance in her sparkling eyes.

Gu Tingshu rubbed the jade pendant around his waist, looked at the gold and silver treasures, and said, "Take the girl to the Huxin Pavilion to rest."

Princess Suyang had already reached the hillside. There was no one in the pavilion in the middle of the lake at this time, so she was there just in time.

"Thank you cousin, Qi Qi will leave first."

Before Jinbao could respond, Shen Qiqi struck up a conversation first, and after giving a blessing to Mu Chengze, she greeted Yinbao to get the food box.

The two of them just ignored themselves. Mu Chengze gritted his teeth and snorted, his expression half-smiling.

When Shen Qiqi walked away, he punched Gu Tingshu on the shoulder, "A Shu is getting more and more courageous, and he doesn't even listen to Gu Tingshu's words."

"Cousin Chen is timid."

It was this sentence again. He had blocked himself with this sentence several times.

Mu Chengze put his arm on his shoulder and sighed, "Although you are a bit disobedient, it still happened for a reason, so let's leave it at that."

"But Ashu, why didn't you tell me earlier that my cousin is so beautiful? Her delicate appearance is like a cat scratching her heart."

Although his words were frivolous, his expression was serious, as if he was just praising him.

Gu Tingshu took a step to the side, avoided his hand and flicked his clothes, with the word disgust clearly written on his face.

"Your Highness, these words are too frivolous."

"If my cousin hears this, she will avoid you like a savage beast."

Mu Chengze wanted to say that he didn't hear anything, but seeing that he was very defensive, he changed the subject again.

"You have to explain things in the past two days. After finishing the private soldier's affairs, you will go to Ningzhou on the way."

Although Ningzhou is not a border town, it is far away from Kyoto and the terrain is steep and difficult to defend and difficult to attack. In recent years, the prefect of Ningzhou City has made some small moves in private.

There have been no natural or man-made disasters in the past few years, but the amount of money and food turned over to the national treasury has been getting less and less year by year. We must guard against wild ambitions.

The road to Ningzhou City is far away, and the official road near the city is full of stones. The horses do not dare to run wildly, and the speed is even slower.

"This comes and goes, it won't last for three or four months."

Gu Tingshu said calmly, and Mu Chengze chuckled, "If Ashu is reluctant to part with his cousin Shen, he can find someone to take his place."

Although that is said, finding someone who can replace Zhenbei Hou is extremely difficult.

Furthermore, if you are in danger, there is no guarantee that the person you brought will be willing to risk your life to save you.

Seeing that Gu Tingshu was silent, Mu Chengze glanced at him and whispered, "Ashu, you can't take it seriously, right?"

"That won't work. If Ashu doesn't go with us, I won't dare to go to Ningzhou."

He said it exaggeratedly, and Gu Tingshu said "hmm" and moved on.

Knowing that he meant yes, Mu Chengze chuckled and strode forward to catch up.

After leaving the Taoyuan, Liu Qingyuan waited there and asked the maid to call the carriage.

Yao Xiang had seen no one before, so she dared to ask her doubts, "Why does the girl treat Miss Shen so well?"

The girl is someone who doesn't want to get into trouble with others, and she just stood up for Miss Shen, whom she only met once.

You can tell by looking at everyone's expressions that Princess Changhua is someone who is not easy to offend. If the girl offends her, she will probably have a hard time in the city of Kyoto in the future.

"My father was favored by the Shen family when he was young. He has talked to me from time to time over the years, but he only lamented that there was no chance to repay the favor. Today I just said a few words for Miss Shen, which is nothing."

Compared with the guidance and teachings Shen gave her father, these few words of hers are not worth mentioning at all.

"If you meet Miss Shen in the future, you must make it easier for her. Don't be embarrassed and look down on her."

"Yes, girl!"

Yaoshu followed the driver and Liu Qingyuan stopped talking and held Yaoxiang's hand to get into the car.

After playing in Taoyuan for half a day, Shen Qiqi met Gu Qingning and others at the gate of Taoyuan when she returned.

She stepped forward to say hello, but she only received a blank look from Gu Qingyun, and the rest of them rolled up their sleeves and got into the car.

Looking at their looks, you can tell that things are not going well today without asking.

Shen Qiqi touched the purse in her sleeve, pursed her lips and smiled before following her.

On the way back to the city, as expected, they lost track of the Gu family's motorcade again. No matter how slow Shen Qiqi was, she knew they did it on purpose.

Anyway, she lost track of them all, so she didn't rush back. After entering the city, she asked Eleven to walk more slowly, and then she lifted the curtain and let Jin Bao buy some food.

There were many small stalls on the roadside, but Jinbao only bought a small amount of each item. When he arrived at the side gate of Houfu, the carriage was packed with snacks.

Jinbao handed a lot to Eleven, and then Shen Qiqi made room for him to go out.

After getting off the carriage, when she was about to go in, she found that the side door had been closed. Shen Qiqi pursed her lips and put away the smile on her face.

The gate of the Hou Mansion is usually closed, and ordinary people cannot enter through the gate, so the side door is opened.

But now, knowing that she is still behind, my cousin has asked someone to close the side door. Although it is not a big deal, I still feel uncomfortable in my heart.

Jinbao took the things from Eleven's hand, winked at him, and motioned for him to call the door.

She was not very good at winking, so this movement was not only inflexible, but also distorted her face, making it difficult for her to speak.

Eleven looked away and turned around silently.

The boy guarding the door was originally ordered to let Shen Qiqi go in through the back door, but when he heard that the person calling the door was Eleven, he was so frightened that he quickly opened the door.

"Good luck to you, sir, but you didn't do it intentionally."

The boy didn't dare to raise his head. From the corner of his eye, he saw someone standing behind Eleven. Thinking that Eleven was usually with Gu Tingshu, he trembled and knelt down.

"Sir, please spare my life. I only acted like this after being ordered by the second girl. I beg you, please spare my life for the sake of my love for guarding the door for so many years."

As he spoke, he kowtowed his head. Shen Qiqi's pupils shrank slightly and she hid away in fear.

I had known earlier that my cousin had been a powerful figure in the mansion for a long time, but I didn't expect that these people were so afraid of him.

Although I was afraid, it was also because I had seen the murderous side of my cousin, but they had never seen it before, so how could they be so afraid?

She was a little confused and wanted to ask Eleven, but she could see his serious face and silently put away his curiosity.

Although my cousin is fierce, he is my cousin after all. No matter how scary he is, he will not do anything to me. But Eleven is different. He is not related to anyone, and he is even scarier than his cousin when he is cruel.

"Okay, hurry up and open the door, my cousin is back."

In front of Shen Qiqi, Eleven didn't want to say anything more and just asked the boy to get out of the way quickly.

"Girl, my subordinate has important matters to attend to, so I won't escort the girl back. I hope you will forgive me."
