happy match

From a distance, Mrs. Zheng and her party were seen.

Gu Xiyu was by Madam Zheng's side, and the elegant young man on the other side was Gu Xinian.

They had met each other in the palace a few days ago, but seeing each other now seems like a world away.That familiar figure and face was strange.

Ye Qinglan suppressed the sobs and bitterness in her heart, and followed Ye Qingning to greet her as if nothing had happened.

When Gu Xiyu saw Ye Qinglan's figure from afar, her eyes lit up. If it wasn't for the fact that everyone was there, she might have run over with her skirt in her hand.After finally suppressing his excitement, Lianbu walked up to Ye Qinglan and shouted joyfully, "Cousin Lan."

Ye Qinglan was also happy to see Gu Xiyu, she smiled and took Gu Xiyu's hand, looked her up and down: "Cousin Xiyu, I haven't seen you these days, you have become more beautiful."

Gu Xiyu was also beautiful before, but that beauty was pale and fragile like a fragile porcelain doll, making people love and pity her and dare not get too close.But now Gu Xiyu, with less fear and anxiety between her brows, has a ruddy and healthy complexion, much more lively and cheerful than before.

Seeing Gu Xiyu like this, Ye Qinglan felt very relieved, she kept joking with Gu Xiyu in a low voice, and naturally ignored Gu Xinian who was beside her.

Gu Xinian's eyes turned around her face, and he felt a little dissatisfied when he saw that she didn't look at him directly from the beginning to the end.Naturally, it is inconvenient to talk to her in front of everyone, so I have to find a chance to be alone with her for a while...

Everyone followed Mrs. Zheng into the main hall of Luomei Courtyard, where they sat down as guests and hosts.The maids were busy serving refreshments.

Mrs. Zheng said with a smile: "Sister Ning is about to get married, and I, as an aunt, don't have much good things to give, I only brought some things like rouge, rouge, powder and eyebrows that girls like to use, and a few pieces of cloth. , just don’t dislike it.” Saying that, a few maids behind her brought up some delicate boxes.

Naturally, Mrs. Zheng knows the goods, and after just one glance, she knew that these wooden boxes contained excellent rouge and gouache, which were specially used by the concubines and ladies in the palace.Ordinary concubines are not qualified to use such high-end things.Only favored concubines have it.This kind of rouge gouache is extremely expensive to make, and a small box is worth more than a hundred taels of silver.The price of these boxes is really expensive.

As for those few bolts of cloth, they are all extremely expensive silk and satin, and they cannot be bought in the cloth shop with silver.They are all royal treasures.The cost of a horse is at least several hundred taels of silver.

Do a rough calculation.The things Mrs. Zheng sent to add makeup to Ye Qingning were worth at least 2000 taels of silver.This move can be regarded as very generous, and it is not much better than the jewelry given by Concubine Zheng.

"Elder Sister really took the trouble." Zheng smiled hurriedly and thanked: "I thanked Ning'er first."

Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "Why are you being so polite, Sister Ning is my niece, and now she is marrying Jun Yan again, so I'm so happy. A few things, just to express my heart."

Ye Qingning also opened her mouth to express her thanks obediently and gracefully.

On such an occasion.Ye Qinglan naturally didn't have the chance to intervene, she just talked to Gu Xiyu in a low voice.Gu Xiyu asked casually: "Brother came back a few days ago. Tell me you entered the palace again a few days ago."

Ye Qinglan paused for a moment with a smile, and then nodded as if nothing had happened: "The imperial concubine called the sixth sister into the palace, and I was lucky to go with her. I happened to meet Cousin Gu."

Originally a sweet encounter, who would have thought that they would meet Zhang Yue who was summoned into the palace by Queen Gu immediately after?

Gu Xinian was sitting on the other side of Gu Xiyu. The two seemed to be very close, but they didn't even have a chance to talk.Although she didn't look up, she could still feel his eyes falling on her from time to time.

There were bursts of bitterness in Ye Qinglan's heart.There was still a calm smile on his face.

At this moment, Ye Qingning smiled suddenly: "Mother, it's very boring to sit here, how about I take Cousin Xiyu to the garden?"

Mrs. Zheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

As Ye Qingning expected, Gu Xinian also stood up with a smile: "It happens that I'm bored too, so let's go to the garden with Yu'er and Cousin Ning!"

Ye Qinglan raised her eyes, happened to meet Gu Xinian's gaze, and then quickly moved away.

Gu Xinian narrowed his eyes slightly. By this time, if he could no longer see Ye Qinglan's deliberate alienation and indifference, he would have lived in vain for so many years.What is the reason?Shouldn't she be annoyed because he didn't reply...

After leaving Luomei Courtyard, Ye Qingning led the crowd to the garden.

Today's atmosphere is a bit weird, Gu Xiyu has always been a reticent person, but Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning were silent as well.

Gu Xinian seemed to be leisurely following behind the three girls, secretly thinking about how to coax Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qingning didn't want to go shopping in the garden. After walking for a while, he smiled and said, "After walking for so long, my legs are sore. Let's sit in the gazebo!"

Gu Xiyu was startled: "We've only walked a few steps, is Cousin Ning tired?"

Ye Qingning: "..."

Ye Qinglan coughed, and smiled to help Ye Qingning: "I'm a little tired too, let's sit down and talk for a while."

Gu Xiyu didn't suspect him, and nodded obediently.Then he asked curiously while walking: "I remember, you used to walk with me in the garden for half a day without feeling tired. Why do you feel tired after walking a few steps today?"

Ye Qinglan: "..."

Gu Xinian's voice sounded: "Yu'er, I actually feel tired too. You must be in good spirits today, that's why you don't feel like you've walked far."

Gu Xiyu: "..."

If it wasn't for the obscure mood, Ye Qinglan would probably have laughed already.Gu Xiyu was clearly telling the truth, but she was fooled by the three of them, with a serious expression on her face, obviously remembering how far she had come before.

A small wooden table and four wooden stools were placed in the gazebo, and the four of them just sat down.

Ye Qingning casually ordered: "Zhixia, I'm a little thirsty, go back to Huancui Pavilion and bring the tea set."

Knowing how clever Xia is, she immediately understood.In fact, Ye Qingning didn't want to drink tea, but wanted to dismiss the maids.Although Gu Xinian was there, Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu were still there, so there was no need to be taboo about men and women being alone.

Zhixia winked at the other two maidservants: "You two, come with me to move the tea set." Then he laughed softly: "Rui Xue, you can help too!"

Ruixue was taken aback for a moment, then agreed.

After the maids left, Ye Qingning calmly smiled and said, "Cousin, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet!"

Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows: "What does Cousin Ning mean, and where does my joy come from?"

Put on a show!Ye Qingning was secretly annoyed, but there was a sweet smile on her face: "Cousin, don't hide it. There is nothing to hide about such a happy event. Everyone will know sooner or later." Paused , and said with a pointed smile: "Cousin won't admit it, isn't it because he wants to hide it from us all the time!"

……

Gu Xinian frowned.

The dissatisfaction and questioning in Ye Qingning's tone were obvious.Thinking of Ye Qinglan's indifference and indifference, he vaguely guessed something.A series of thoughts quickly flashed through my mind, and I smiled naturally: "Don't play charades, I really don't know what you are talking about."

A flash of anger flashed in Ye Qingning's eyes, and she was about to blurt it out when Ye Qinglan looked over gently: "Sixth sister, can you accompany cousin Xiyu to enjoy the crabapple flowers?"

Ye Qingning was taken aback for a moment, but immediately understood.Ye Qinglan wanted to have a showdown with Gu Xinian on her own, and she had indeed overstepped her role just now.Well, then go to "Appreciate Begonia Flowers".

Ye Qingning smiled at Gu Xiyu and said, "Cousin Xiyu, there are a few begonias in full bloom over there, let's go and admire them."

Gu Xiyu looked puzzled: "But, didn't you just say that you were tired and needed to rest? Why do you still have the strength to walk over to enjoy the flowers?"

Ye Qingning: "..."

Ye Qinglan immediately smoothed things over for Ye Qingning: "Sixth Sister likes crabapple flowers the most, and with only a few steps, she should be able to hold on."

Gu Xiyu nodded, and then said naturally: "Since we want to enjoy the flowers, let's go together. There are more people and it's more lively."

Ye Qinglan: "..."

So, simple-minded children are sometimes the hardest to fool.If it was someone who was shrewd and smart, he would have heard the string song and knew that he would avoid it with interest.

Gu Xinian's eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Yu'er, you and Cousin Ning go to enjoy the flowers. Cousin Lan and I have something to say, so we won't go there."

Gu Xiyu let out a cry, and naturally accepted the reason, and stood up without asking anything, "Cousin Ning, let's go then!"

Ye Qingning: "..."

Ye Qinglan: "..."

Ye Qingning came to her senses quickly, smiled and walked away with Gu Xiyu.In the gazebo, only Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan were left.

After a brief silence, Gu Xinian said in a low voice: "Are you angry why I didn't reply to your letter? A few days ago, the crown prince went on tour, and I went with him. I just returned to the capital last night, and the secret guards didn't have time to send the letter to you. It was handed over to me, so I didn't reply to you in time." In fact, he didn't even know what was written in that letter, and he could only read it when he went back tonight.

Ye Qinglan smiled faintly: "You are busy with court affairs, and it is not intentional that you have no time to read and reply to the letter. I don't blame you."

The tone is calm, the attitude is calm, and it really doesn't look like he cares.Gu Xinian should have breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, looking at Ye Qinglan who was unusually calm and indifferent, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

What exactly was written in that letter?

Ye Qinglan's voice was as gentle and calm as usual: "It doesn't matter if you didn't read the letter. If you don't have the heart to tell me directly about something, then let me say it! From today, let's break up!" (unfinished To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
