Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

Chapter 085: How could it be you? While you were talking, Ling Qinglian handed the bowl of wine in her hand to Gu Shaoyuan who was sitting opposite him, but on his handsome face, there was the joy of reunion after a long absence.

Taking the wine bowl from him, Gu Shaoyuan raised his head and drank it down without saying a word.The wine dripped down along the corners of his slender lips, and landed on the royal blue shirt.

After finishing the bowl of wine in one gulp, he lifted up his sleeve to wipe the overflowing wine from the corner of his mouth, with a smile on his face as well.

Seeing him so free and unrestrained, Ling Qinglian also picked up the wine bowl in front of her, raised her head and drank it in one gulp without the slightest ambiguity.

After drinking a lot, the two had a drink and chatted with each other.

Lifting the wine jar on the table and filling the wine bowl in front of Gu Shaoyuan, Ling Qinglian asked aloud, "Why did you suddenly decide to come to the capital?"

After he filled up the wine, Gu Shaoyuan picked up the wine bowl and took a sip before replying: "I was traveling around, and I went wherever I went. I just came to see you when I passed by the capital. Since you left , I seem to have not seen each other for more than two months, right?"

After contemplating for a while, Ling Qinglian nodded, with a look of reminiscence on her face: "It seems that it has been more than two months, I never thought it would take so long."

Gu Shaoyuan smiled and said nothing, just continued to sip his drink, with a trace of travel dust on his handsome face, presumably he must have traveled for a long time.

The two were silent for a while, Gu Shaoyuan put down the wine bowl in his hand, folded his hands on the table, and said calmly: "Has anything happened in the capital?"

Restraining her expression, Ling Qinglian frowned and said, "It's nothing serious. If we say the most sensational thing that happened in the capital in the past two months, it would be the marriage of the Fourth Prince."

"Oh?" Raising a monosyllable, Gu Shaoyuan looked at him suspiciously, and asked puzzledly, "What's so strange about the fourth prince's marriage?"

Shaking her head slightly, Ling Qinglian smiled unconsciously, and her expression softened: "It's nothing strange, it's just that we all spread rumors to each other, so everyone knows it. It's actually just a simple marriage. The fourth prince and his younger sister have been married for more than a month." The head is in the wine.

"It turned out that my sister was married." Gu Shaoyuan put on a look of sudden realization, "It's really a coincidence. If I came to the capital one month earlier, I might be able to join in the fun."

However, after hearing what he said, Ling Qinglian slightly restrained her expression, raised her eyebrows and asked, "You really dare to say it. Do you really have the guts to attend my sister's wedding?"

A little dumb, Gu Shaoyuan twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a sneer: "Isn't Lingmei married for more than a month?"

Shaking her head helplessly, Ling Qinglian sighed and said in a low voice: "You can only say that after the fact."

Gu Shaoyuan smiled embarrassingly, so he had no choice but to pick up the wine bowl and drink in order to hide his embarrassment.After drinking half of the wine in the bowl, he said again: "I wonder if the eldest lady or the second lady is getting married?"

"Ruoyao is my second younger sister." While speaking, Ling Qinglian's expression softened, and even her eyes showed a bit of doting, "After coming back this time, I found that she seems to be a little different from before."

"What's the difference?" Gu Shaoyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, but he didn't let go of any change in his face.

Frowning and meditating, Ling Qinglian said slowly: "She is not as stupid as before, on the contrary, she is full of cleverness, and the whole person is much smarter than before."

Looking at him deeply, Gu Shaoyuan said with a smile on his lips, "You have been away from home for two years. In these two years, it is not impossible for your sister to become smart."

With an elegant smile on her lips, Ling Qinglian chuckled and said with a slight sigh: "Yes, I have been away from home for two years. Many things have changed in these two years."

His expression became serious, Gu Shaoyuan stared at Ling Qinglian who was opposite, his deep eyes were stained with a worried look: "Qinglian, there are some things that you have to control yourself, some affections are not allowed."

What he said made Ling Qinglian stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant for a while: "Brother Gu, what do you mean by that?"

Sighing, Gu Shaoyuan shook his head helplessly, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, maybe I'm worrying too much."

Seeing that he didn't want to make it clear, although Ling Qinglian was still puzzled, she didn't continue to ask. She just picked up the wine bowl on the table and took a sip of the wine.

Putting the wine bowl back on the table, he looked at Gu Shaoyuan, hesitated for a moment and said, "This time, how long do you plan to stay in the capital?"

"I will leave after a few days." After speaking, Gu Shaoyuan was silent for a while before continuing, "Qinglian, don't forget your mission."

Hearing his words, Ling Qinglian immediately put away the faint smile on her face and replaced it with a serious expression, even frowning tightly: "I will never forget it for a moment."

"So, I'm relieved." Gu Shaoyuan said and nodded.

For a while, no one spoke again.The hall was still very quiet, except for the occasional murmur of a drunk drunk.

Outside the restaurant, the gust of wind was still howling and rushing across the street, and the downpour finally came, pattering on the roof and washing the streets and alleys of this bustling city.

*****

Standing by the window, Ling Ruoyao couldn't help letting out a long sigh as she looked at the gloomy and gray sky outside the window and the rain pouring down like a flood.

When it rains, she feels bad. Looking at the smoky sky, she will feel that her mood is also covered with smog.

When it was raining, this house was the only area of ​​activity for her, and the only thing she could do to pass the time was staring at the heavy rain outside the window in a daze.

Days like this are really boring.

Just when she was so bored and sighed, Caizhi and Caizhu came to Ling Ruoyao holding a bamboo basket respectively.

"Miss, let's cut the window grilles." Caizhi walked up to Ling Ruoyao and said with a smile, with a look of anticipation on her delicate face.

Withdrawing her gaze from the window, Ling Ruoyao fixed her gaze on the bamboo basket in the arms of the two of them.I saw scissors and bright red colored paper in the bamboo basket.

Seeing the two looking at her so excitedly and expectantly, she was also infected.Anyway, there is nothing else to do, so let's cut the window grilles with the two of them, as a way to pass the time.

Nodding slightly, Ling Ruoyao walked back to the round table next to her, sat on the round stool with her back facing the outside room, looked back at the two people who were still standing still, and said with a smile: "Aren't you going to cut the window grilles? "

The two were taken aback for a moment, and immediately came back to their senses, and hurriedly came to her with a smile, put the bamboo basket on the table, took out the scissors and colored paper in the bamboo basket, and handed it to Ling Ruoyao.

After receiving the scissors and colored paper from the two of them, Ling Ruoyao raised the corners of her mouth and began to cut the window grilles.However, she overestimated her hands-on ability, a piece of intact red color paper, under her cutting, instantly fell to pieces, smashed to pieces.

He raised his eyes to look at Caizhi and Caizhu, but saw that they were very handy, and after a while, they cut out a beautiful window grille.

What Caizhi cut out was a peony flower in full bloom. She held it up to look at it, then handed it to Ling Ruoyao, and said as if asking for credit: "Miss, how did the servant girl cut it?"

Taking the peony flower carefully, Ling Ruoyao looked at it carefully, nodded, and said approvingly: "Very good, quickly take it and paste it."

After receiving the order, Caizhi took the peony flower, found paste, and stuck the peony flower on the window very seriously.

In contrast, Caizhu's movements were much slower. Caizhi had already pasted the window grilles, but Caizhu hadn't finished cutting it yet.

So, the two of them cast their eyes on Caizhu's hands at the same time, seeing that she was holding scissors in her right hand and colored paper in her left hand, cutting with dexterity and agility.

Ling Ruoyao felt that her two eyes were going to go blurry, and she hadn't seen anything special yet, so she simply looked away, and waited for her to finish cutting, and then took a closer look.

"Princess, the slaves have finished cutting." Finally putting down the scissors in her hand, Cai Zhu said with a smile, and hurriedly handed the paper-cut in front of Ling Ruoyao.

Looking at the window grilles she spread out in her hands, Ling Ruoyao was speechless for a moment, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably twice.

Although the window grilles were cut extremely finely, enough to show how dexterous Caizhu's hands are, why did she cut out a pair of cuddling, seemingly intimate men and women.

Looking carefully, Ling Ruoyao became even more speechless, the twitching of the corners of her mouth could no longer express the turbulence in her heart, and even the corners of her eyes twitched.

This Caizhu's hands are indeed dexterous enough, she can actually cut paper-cuts of her and Huangfu Yi cuddling each other.

However, no matter how she looked at it, she found it dazzling, and she just stared at this paper-cut in a daze, without saying a word.

Caizhi also saw the meaning contained in this paper-cut, and seeing Ling Ruoyao's reaction in this way, she sighed inaudibly, shifted her gaze to Caizhu, and shook her head helplessly.

Confused by the reactions of the two, Caizhu blinked her clear eyes, looked at Caizhi, then looked at Ling Ruoyao, and asked cautiously, "Don't you like it?"

Slowly coming back to her senses, Ling Ruoyao twitched the corners of her mouth, laughed twice and said, "It's...not bad. Let it go."

"Don't you need to stick it on the window?" Caizhu continued to blink her eyes and asked suspiciously.

Why is this girl so stupid at this time?She told her to put it down, she definitely wouldn't let her stick it on the window, why didn't she understand?

Usually, I think this girl is quite clever, why is she so stupid when it comes to the critical moment?

Seeing that Ling Ruoyao's face darkened a little, Caizhi winked at Caizhu hurriedly, and said in a low voice, "Let's continue cutting, cut out better window grilles, and paste them on."

Only then did Caizhu realize belatedly, thinking that her paper-cuts must be unattractive, and Ling Ruoyao refused to let her paste them on the window.So, she picked up the scissors again and continued to cut the window grilles.

Knowing that her hands-on ability is poor, Ling Ruoyao no longer continued to cut the window grilles, but propped her chin with both hands, and just watched the two of them cut out various window grilles without moving.

The rain outside the house was still falling non-stop, with no sign of stopping at all, and there were very few people walking around in the courtyard in the entire palace.

However, in this hazy heavy rain, an oil-paper umbrella moved slowly along the courtyard wall until it reached the open courtyard gate, but did not go in.

In the room, Ling Ruoyao yawned and suddenly felt drowsy, but seeing that Caizhi and Caizhu were still very excited, she didn't want to spoil their interest, so she let them continue.

"Miss, are you sleepy?" Sensing that she was out of her mind, Caizhi asked suspiciously.

After waving his hands, Ling Ruoyao said casually, "It's okay, you guys continue to cut. I'll watch." After speaking, she continued to rest her chin with both hands, staring at the two of them intently.

At this moment, an oil-paper umbrella outside the yard slowly approached the house.The torrential rain slapped on the surface of the umbrella, dripping down strings of raindrops, but none of them fell on the person who came.

Walking up the stone steps, Huangfu Yi put away the oil-paper umbrella and leaned against the door, lifted the hem of his long gown, and then stepped into the room, but there was no servant behind him.

The room was very quiet, only the slight rustling sound of colored paper rubbing against each other, but the three of them were all focused, so they didn't notice Huangfu Yi who came in.

Walking into the room with light steps, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards Ling Ruoyao who was sitting at the round table with his back facing him.

Caizhi, who had been cutting the window grilles with her head depressed, seemed to be aware of it, raised her head slightly, and saw Huangfu Yi at a glance, just about to make a sound, but was stopped by Huangfu Yi. .

Making a silent movement to her, Huangfu Yi quietly came behind Ling Ruoyao, but at this time Ling Ruoyao was once again attacked by sleepiness.

Bending down to Ling Ruoyao's ear, Huangfu Yi raised the corner of his mouth and said softly: "What is the princess doing?"

The sudden sound startled Ling Ruoyao, her drowsiness dissipated immediately, and she was frightened to straighten up suddenly, but she didn't want her head to hit Huangfuyi's chin all of a sudden because of the excessive movement.

So, both of them showed painful expressions at the same time.

When the pain hit, Ling Ruoyao frowned in an instant, her delicate brows were frowned, and there was a look of displeasure on her pretty face, thinking to herself, who would dare to be so bold as to tease her.

Turning around, she looked angrily at the person coming, but when she saw Huangfu Yi who also had the same dissatisfied expression, she froze for a moment, and murmured: "Why is it you?"

Rubbing his chin with a generous big hand, Huangfu Yi frowned his handsome sword eyebrows, and his narrow and deep phoenix eyes were full of displeasure, but his gaze stayed on her all the time.

With a soft snort, he said angrily, "Why can't you be my king?"

This woman is really funny!
