Gu Shao led his people away. Originally, Li Yi was preparing for the finale. Now that he has been defeated, there is no need to continue.
Before leaving, he glanced at Gu Qingyuan and said, "You will still be well. Go back and rest early."
As he spoke, he glanced vaguely at the man standing in the yard, whose face was as dark as night.
Gu Qingyuan leaned on the door frame, a burst of heat suddenly rushed to her face, she cleared her throat and pretended to be fine and said,
"My daughter heard the sound of fighting in the courtyard, so she came over to take a look. Since nothing happened, she came back immediately."
Gu Shao felt sour in his heart. A woman who likes a husband cannot hide her eyes.
How could he not know where his daughter's eyes fell as soon as she arrived in front of the courtyard?
After feeling sour in his heart, he sighed again.
He raised his hand to touch Gu Qingyuan's head, but finally put it down and glanced coldly at Pei Jinting, that brat.
After sending Gu Shao and his party away, Gu Qingyuan turned around and saw a man with a dark face in the dark night.
Before she could react, she was pulled into someone's arms.
The man directly pressed her against the door of the moon cave, clasped her waist with one hand, lowered his head, and brought it to her lips.
The two of them were very close, and Gu Qingyuan took a deep breath.
The man's hot and moist breath caressed her lips gently.
"Yuanyuan. I'm injured. It hurts so much."
Seeing that Gu Qingyuan was silent, she possessed her body and said softly,
"Don't believe it? Try it."
After that, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
The corners of the broken lips smelled like rust.
Let Gu Qingyuan taste it carefully.
Gu Qingyuan's voice trembled slightly and she said urgently, "Someone, please go back to the house."
After talking about it, I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Pei Jinting raised her lower lip, leaned close to her ear, and said meaningfully, "Okay. Then don't go back. Make it up to me."
What compensation is needed is self-evident.
Gu Qingyuan's face turned red, "Pei Jingheng, I'm telling you something serious now."
How can he break up the atmosphere with his casualness?
Although it was night, there were still guards and maids outside.
"What I'm talking about is the most serious thing."
The corners of his mouth curled up, and his tone was casual,
"Don't worry. Even if you don't go back, your father-in-law won't say anything."
Gu Qingyuan suddenly felt speechless because of his careless appearance.
Okay. She forgot.
The man in front of me is used to being shameless.
The next day, before Gu Qingyuan got up, Gu Shao saw Pei Jinting on the school grounds.
"Yuanyuan was walking around last night and was too tired, so I let her sleep in the living room. When she wakes up, I will have someone take her back to the yard."
Pei Jinting said in a deep voice.
After he finished speaking, Gu Shao withdrew his punch.
Reluctantly, she squeezed out a breath from her nasal cavity, "Let her stay in the guest house well. If she gets sick again, how will she recover?"
Finally, when Gu Shao relented, his efforts last night were not in vain.
Gu Qingyuan stayed in the mansion for a while, and soon welcomed the Queen's birthday party.
This year's birthday banquet is different from the past. Although it is not a birthday party, a palace concubine proposed to the emperor that during the queen's birthday banquet, she would invite the royal family members to enjoy the flowers and have a night out.
The emperor thought this idea was a good one, so after discussing it with the queen, he handed the matter over to the harem.
Originally, Gu Qingyuan did not want to enter the palace, but the queen specially sent someone to send an invitation to the Zhenguo Palace.
Not only does she want to enter the palace, Princess Rongchang also wants to enter the palace.
Gu Qingyuan had a splitting headache at the thought of having to deal with the queen after entering the palace.
During the flower-viewing night tour, all the people who came were members of the royal family, and the rules were more relaxed than the usual banquets with ministers and their families.
During the meal, you can also see many low-ranking concubines doing their best to wish the Queen happy birthday, but in fact they are performing arts to invite favors.
However, I have to admit that those who can become the emperor's women are all very good, and all the dances are stylish.
The queen sat at the top, always smiling gently, as if she didn't understand the thoughts of these women.
After the performance was over, he took everyone to the palace pool to enjoy the flowers at night.
Along the way, there are flowers every ten steps. Under the illumination of night lights, it is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away. Even on the river, there are also flower lanterns.
Not only that, hot tea and snacks are also prepared along the way for those who are tired to stop and rest.
Gu Qingyuan didn't want to be in the limelight on such an occasion and kept quiet.
Just as she was sitting by a pavilion with snacks to rest, she unexpectedly met Ming Wei and Princess Rongyang.
With them was Princess Rongchang.
From the moment Gu Qingyuan appeared, everyone's eyes have been fixed on her.
Especially Princess Rongyang.
Sisters who used to often hang out together have become less frequent since the Huangzhuang earthquake.
Not to mention after that crazy dog incident in the princess's house.
Princess Rongyang picked a good-looking fruit from the serving plate of the maid next to her, fed it to her mouth, and then glanced at Gu Qingyuan.
"Ayuan. I heard that the cousin of the Pei family was kicked out of the house by you. You are really amazing."
She stared at Gu Qingyuan with some sneer, "Ah Yuan. What a good idea. You can eradicate dissidents once and for all without taking action personally."
Gu Qingyuan had often heard Princess Rongyang say some weird words.
Just because at that time, Concubine Lu always stood her up there and told Princess Rongyang her good points, in order to belittle Princess Rongyang.
"Princess. What are you talking about?"
She gently sat down among the three of them, "I heard that the cousin of the Pei family stole other people's work and used it to gain benefits. Didn't she also defraud His Majesty of the reward?"
"What does this have to do with me?"
She thought for a moment and said expressionlessly, "It doesn't matter. Doesn't the princess know? I am the one whose credit was stolen."
Princess Rongyang's expression became very complicated, and her eyes changed several times.
She is a high-ranking princess, and she has a commanding and scornful tone when she speaks.
Many people treated her respectfully, but Gu Qingyuan looked gentle, but was actually distant and cold.
With slender fingers, she clenched the cup carelessly,
"Really? I'm not sure about this."
Gu Qingyuan raised her eyebrows slightly and advised sincerely,
"Princess is kind-hearted, but you should distinguish between the authenticity of what others say."
"You." Princess Rongyang's eyebrows were raised, which was obviously mocking her lack of brains. "Don't worry about me, girl."
As she spoke, she swung the tea cup in her hand and threw it on the stone table. A cup of tea spilled out and flowed on the table, soaking Gu Qingyuan's dress.
"Ayuan. I'm so sorry." Princess Rongyang's face was frozen for a moment, and her eyes looked quite concerned.
"Ayuan, how about I accompany you to clean up?"
Gu Qingyuan's eyebrows drooped slightly. She didn't want to stay here any longer, so she took this opportunity to leave the palace and return home.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Princess Rongchang, who had never spoken, suddenly said,
"Ayuan, I happen to be feeling a little uncomfortable too. Let's go back home together."
Gu Qingyuan felt gloomy in her heart, always feeling that there was something going on behind Princess Rongchang's back.
