Chapter 162
When Wang Jiulang and Gu Chongyang returned to the capital, Ruifeng, who had returned to the capital first, had already put the collected information on Wang Jiulang's desk.

Looking at the exact information that Gu Chongyang said, Wang Jiulang tapped his fingers on the table a few times.

Mei promised to be favored very much, and was named Mei Concubine on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival; and the emperor did have the idea of ​​going to Yaoshan to hunt.

It seems that he wants to have a good talk with the little girl.

He remembered that Gu Chongyang seemed to like eating cat ears, so he told the boy: "Buy some cat ears, and prepare some other snacks."

The servant responded and left, but when he finished reading all the books, Gu Chongyang still did not arrive.

They made an appointment today to discuss his condition.

Wang Jiulang put down the book and asked Ruifeng, "Has Miss Gu gone back yet?"

"No." Ruifeng came in and reported: "Madam has guests, and Ms. Gu is helping them."

Wang Jiulang's face fell slightly, and his voice was a little cold: "Who is this guest?"

"Back to Master Jiu, it's Master He Shan of Ruizhu Academy and Miss Gu's family of Qingyang Hou. This time I'm here to discuss with my wife about this year's Yaoqin Festival."

Wang Jiulang nodded, got up and walked out.

Ruifeng knew that he planned to go and see for himself.

He Shanchang liked Gu Chonghua very much. She trained Gu Chonghua as a direct disciple. From the very beginning, she was sure that Gu Chonghua would be able to pass the five trials and become the number one in the talent competition. She worshiped under the name of Mrs. Baozhen.By then, the reputation of Ruizhu Academy will definitely be even more prominent.And she, as the head of the mountain, can also make a perfect curtain call.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Baozhen actually accepted a little-known little girl as her disciple, and this little girl didn't even have the qualifications to enter Ruizhu Academy.

This matter once caused outside rumors that Mrs. Baozhen did not get along with Ruizhu Academy. She, the head of the school, offended Mrs. Baozhen, so Mrs. Baozhen deliberately accepted such a person to slap her in the face.

He Shanchang couldn't sit still anymore. During the time when Gu Chongyang and Wang Jiulang went to Taihu Lake, she came to the door again and again, lobbying Mrs. Baozhen to accept Gu Chonghua: "Chonghua and the fourth miss of the Gu family are sisters, and one is a doctor with excellent medical skills. Your miraculous doctor, who is known as a talented woman, and it is a good story for two people to worship in your name together."

Mrs. Baozhen smiled, but did not speak.

Gu Chonghua is indeed a talented woman, she has heard of her name a long time ago, but she has seen too many talented women, and there is only Gu Chongyang who can impress Jiulang's heart.

She is a young student with a simple mind, and can't understand Jiu Lang's mind at all, and Jiu Lang doesn't take the initiative.In order to be able to embrace her grandson as soon as possible, she tried every means to create opportunities for Jiulang.

She wished that Jiulang could be with Chongyang day and night, so as to impress Chongyang's heart as soon as possible.Sometimes she feels that she is superfluous, so why would she bring Gu Chonghua in to disturb them?

"I'm old and my energy is low, so I really don't want to teach students anymore."

She has a ruddy complexion and looks like someone in her 20s. How old is she?
He Shanchang knew that Mrs. Baozhen was talking nonsense with her eyes open, but she had no choice but to retreat and said: "It's really regrettable that Madam said so. I actually came here this time to invite Gu Si Miss will participate in the Yaoqin Festival, and at the same time, please ask Madam to be the judge of this year's Yaoqin Festival."

The first empress of the Great Qi Dynasty, Taizu’s original concubine Empress Sheng Jia loved listening to and playing the qin. Taizu treated the qin masters kindly and collected famous qin to please his wife. The most outstanding luthiers compete with each other, and those who are outstanding will be rewarded.

Empress Shengjia and Taizu returned to dust a long time ago, but the Yaoqin Festival has been handed down, but it has evolved from a competition of luthiers to a competition between the daughter of the boudoir and the son of the family.The annual Yaoqin Festival is becoming more and more grand, and it can be said to be a grand event for young men and women in the Great Qi Dynasty.

Mrs. Baozhen is a talented woman. When she was young, she was keen to participate in the Yaoqin Festival. After she got married, she judged the Yaoqin Festival every year. After her husband died, she seldom attended because Wang Jiulang didn't like it.

She originally wanted to refuse, but she thought that Gu Chongyang, as her disciple, would definitely show up at this Yaoqin Festival.As a teacher, she has to cheer her disciples on no matter what.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Baozhen smiled and agreed to He Shanzhang's invitation.

The Yaoqin Festival is on June [-]th, and He Shanchang came here today to deliver an official post.

Gu Chonghua and Gu Chongyang sat opposite each other, and they both laughed suddenly.

They are all members of the Gu family, but one is studying at Ruizhu Academy and only goes home once every half a month, and the other is studying with Mrs. Baozhen and can only stay at home for half a day.Counting the days, the two of them haven't seen each other for two months. They didn't expect to meet somewhere else, not at the Gu family.

Seeing the sisters of the Gu family like this, Mrs. Baozhen laughed: "The flowers in the garden are blooming well. Chongyang will take your sister to have a look. Don't hold back when we talk."

He Shanchang was surprised by Mrs. Baozhen's easy-going, but Gu Chonghua felt uncomfortable in his ears.I didn't expect Mrs. Baozhen to be so easy to get along with. She was completely different from the aloofness and coldness rumored outside. What's more, I didn't expect that the fourth sister could walk around in Duke Wen's mansion at will.

Since you can move around at will, you must be able to meet Wang Jiulang.

And all of this should have been hers.Now it is taken away by Gu Chongyang, how unfair is it?
She smiled, took Gu Chongyang's arm, and asked her kindly: "I heard from my uncle and grandma that you went to Taihu Lake to treat relatives in Wen Guogong's mansion. Did it go well?"

"It's going well, the patient has recovered." Gu Chongyang's face felt a little hot when he thought of the details of being with Wang Jiulang this time.

She watched the moon with Jiulang, drank together, he was drunk and kissed her, she told him her biggest secret, and he also told her his illness, is this considered another kind of heart-to-heart Woolen cloth.

Seeing the corner of her mouth smiling and her face flushing slightly, Gu Chonghua was a little surprised, but couldn't help being jealous.Gu Chongyang is getting more and more beautiful, even more beautiful than Princess Hanshan who is known as the Pearl of Daqi.

She is the most beloved lady of the old lady of Changfang, and now she has the name of Mrs. Baozhen's disciple.

Gu Chonghua's eyes darkened, but the smile on his face remained unchanged: "Tell me, what interesting things happened when you went to Taihu Lake?"

Before, because of Gu Chongyang becoming Mrs. Baozhen's disciple, the two sisters had quarrels, but after the conflict was resolved, Gu Chonghua treated her much more affectionately than before.

Gu Chongyang was very happy, so he smiled and told her what he had seen on the road: "There is nothing interesting, but I met an old woman selling donkey meat on the road..."

The two sisters turned around the corner of the corridor arm in arm, Gu Chongyang was still talking to himself, but Gu Chonghua suddenly let go of his hand and stood still.

Following her line of sight, Gu Chongyang saw the suave and elegant Wang Jiulang dressed in white, with a relaxed expression, as if he had accidentally passed by here.

Gu Chongyang wanted to go up and talk to Wang Jiulang, but when she saw Gu Chonghua stop and bowed her head slightly, like a famous lady should, she imitated Gu Chonghua and stood aside, waiting for Wang Jiulang to arrive.

Pretty good at pretending!

Wang Jiulang laughed silently, and when he walked up to her, there was no smile on his face: "Why are you standing here?"

"Sir is talking to He Shanzhang, we are going to go to the garden." Gu Chongyang introduced: "This is my eldest sister, who is now studying at Ruizhu Academy, and is He Shanzhang's beloved student."

With a slight smile on Gu Chonghua's face, he took a step forward and said softly, "Gu Chonghua has met Jiulang."

She is generous, neither humble nor overbearing, and she has the appearance of a real aristocratic daughter.

Wang Jiulang nodded slightly: "Miss Gu, please do yourself a favor, Chongyang will follow me."

After finishing speaking, he walked past Gu Chonghua without looking sideways.

Gu Chongyang felt a little sorry: "Big sister, are you going to the garden by yourself? Why don't you wait for me here for a while, and I'll be back in a while."

"Wang Jiulang must have something important to see you, so go over there quickly." Gu Chonghua smiled slightly: "It's probably time for the head of the mountain to finish talking, so I'll go back now."

Gu Chongyang was apologetic, and shook Gu Chonghua's hand: "Big sister..."

"What are you doing?" Gu Chonghua said unhappily: "You are a girl from the Gu family, and every move you make represents the face of the Gu family. How can you ignore Jiulang's words? You go, why should we two sisters see each other like this? "

She pinched Gu Chongyang's nose: "I don't need you to accompany me this time, but if you don't come on the Yaoqin Festival, I will definitely be angry."

"Big sister, don't worry, I will go there early that day to cheer for you!"

"You can't just cheer for me!" Gu Chonghua laughed and said, "Who doesn't know that the Gu family of Marquis Qingyang has two jewels? One is Gu Chonghua, a talented girl from Ruizhu Academy, and the other is Gu Chongyang, a closed disciple of Mrs. Baozhen." You seldom show your face in front of the public, and everyone is very curious about you. This time, at the Yaoqin Festival, you have to show your hands anyway, otherwise you will disappoint everyone?"

"I'm actually worried too." Gu Chongyang frowned lightly: "I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself that day and lose my husband's face."

Gu Chonghua patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, there is still some time before the Yaoqin Festival, you can practice slowly, and you can always get by. Don't worry about these things now, Wang Jiulang is still waiting for you, hurry up go."

Gu Chongyang's brows stretched out: "Big sister reminded me that I must practice hard recently."

After Gu Chongyang left, Gu Chonghua's face slowly turned pale.

Wang Jiulang didn't even look at himself, but called his fourth younger sister Chongyang... Looking at Gu Chongyang's situation just now, it is clear that he is very familiar with Wang Jiulang. Since when did they become so close?
For so many years, she has worked so hard to read books, recite poems and practice the piano, her fingers are covered with calluses, in order to become Mrs. Baozhen's disciple and get one step closer to Wang Jiulang.

But now all of this has been ruined by Gu Chongyang...

She is not reconciled, so unwilling!

Gu Chonghua stared fixedly at Gu Chongyang's receding back, and secretly made up his mind.She must take back what belongs to her.

At this time, Wang Jiulang had already gone boating with Gu Chongyang on Taiyi Lake.

In early summer, there are lotus leaf pavilions on Taiyi Lake, and weeping willows and flowers are planted all over the lake.Butterflies and bees linger among the flowers, the wind blows, the lotus leaves dance with the wind, sending bursts of fragrance, and the weeping willows on the bank are graceful and colorful.

Wang Jiulang was rowing the boat by himself with the long wormwood in his hands. Gu Chongyang was sitting upright at the stern, looking up at Wang Jiulang with unmistakable greed in his eyes.

Jiulang has promised to let her be cured, and when he is cured, she should say goodbye to Jiulang.

Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity to get along with Jiulang now, she should cherish it even more, look at him more often, and strive to imprint him in her heart.

When she gets old in the future, she can savor it slowly.

Pushing the boat to a secluded place, Wang Jiulang stopped and sat opposite her.

"You said earlier that the emperor was frightened when he went hunting in Mount Yao, and he couldn't get sick after returning. What happened afterwards?"

The boat was not big, and the two of them were very close, their knees almost touching each other.Gu Chongyang's heart started beating like thunder again, and she felt a wave of heat from her ears to her face, making her feel a little hot.

She didn't need to look in the mirror to know that her face must be red.

But Jiulang was still sitting across from her, looking at her, waiting for her answer.

She looks like this, how can she speak well.

It's really worthless, that's why I blush and my heart beats like this!
She bit her lip in frustration, moved her butt back, and only answered Wang Jiulang's words after she calmed down.

"After the emperor fell ill, the second prince served him closely, tasted the medicine himself, and even invited the direct disciple of Divine Doctor Xue to help the emperor heal his illness. In March of the following year, the emperor recovered from his illness, and his appearance was joyous. He relied heavily on the second prince's trust."

The eldest prince has a meek personality and a fat body. He has no major shortcomings, but he is not very outstanding. He is relatively mediocre and gentle.

But as a prince, not being outstanding is the biggest shortcoming.In particular, there was a second prince who was only one year younger than him, but he was handsome, tall, tall, personable, and articulate, and he was immediately compared to him.

Even the emperor said that the second prince is very similar to him when he was young, which shows how much the second prince pleases the emperor.

Wang Jiulang tapped his fingers, lost in thought.

If the emperor wants to establish a prince, he will definitely ask the Wang family for their opinions.The second patriarch is Wen Guogong, who is also the chief assistant of the cabinet, and he is the crown prince, so no matter what, he cannot be surpassed.

As far as he knew, the emperor actually favored the second prince in his heart, but in the end he established the eldest prince, which probably had something to do with the second grandfather.

Although the eldest prince is mediocre, he is gentle and courteous in his dealings with others, and he is the queen's descendant who has assumed the status of the eldest son, so he probably caught the eyes of the second grandfather.The mighty general, the queen's natal brother, held great power, and the emperor had to consider it.

Wang Jiulang thought about finding an opportunity to talk to the second old man recently, so his eyes fell on Gu Chongyang's face.

The scorching sun was gentle, and fell on the little girl's white and clean face like suet jade. Perhaps she was sunburned, her face was slightly red, and some sweat broke out from the tip of her nose.

Wang Jiulang couldn't help stretching out his fingers to gently wipe off the sweat from the tip of her nose. The skin at the tentacles was delicate and warm, and the delicate and straight Qiong nose made him linger.

Probably because his action was too sudden, the little girl was frightened, her eyes widened slightly like a frightened deer, she was indescribably cute and pitiful.

"Jiulang, what's wrong with you..." Gu Chongyang curled his lips, his red mouth was even more attractive, his big eyes were blinking, a little at a loss.

That pretty face was even more flushed red, like a blushing apple, making one want to take a bite.

He finally realized his gaffe, but it was too late to take back his hand at this time.

What would she think of him if he couldn't hold back and made the little girl abrupt?

"Kuro!"

He held her chin in his hand and rubbed it against the tip of her nose. The sensual impact made her heart beat like thunder, her face flushed like fire, and her goosebumps were about to rise.

Her heart was like a cat's paw, which made her restless, and the evil fire came up again. She felt that she couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to throw herself into Jiulang's arms and push him down.

no!If this continues, she will lose control.

"Jiulang!" Gu Chongyang raised his hand, about to wave his arm away.

"Don't move!" Wang Jiulang suddenly leaned over and got close to her, breathing on her face: "A bee has landed on your head."

Gu Chongyang froze, and all the charming thoughts in his heart receded, leaving only panic: "Is it bees, ants, or other insects?"

Bees are less poisonous, while ants are more poisonous. If it is other insects, it may be even more terrifying.

Wang Jiulang stared fixedly at the top of her empty head, and said, "Like a bee, bigger than a bee."

Gu Chongyang believed it, and his voice changed in fright: "Is it the kind with a round body as thick as a little finger, a black head, black wings, and shorter tentacles?"

Wang Jiulang observed it carefully for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, don't be afraid, I will drive it away for you."

Wang Jiulang stood up, the boat shook, Gu Chongyang felt scared, and hugged Wang Jiulang's waist.

Wang Jiulang froze and stood there blankly for a while, suddenly a blush crept across his face, and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

"Are you ready? Jiulang, have you chased away the ants?" Gu Chongyang hugged him tightly, not daring to move, apparently terrified.

Wang Jiulang lowered his head, stretched out his hand to touch her hand, and said with unprecedented tenderness: "Don't be afraid, I've already chased it away."

Gu Chongyang hurriedly let go and touched the top of his head, but he didn't find anything, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

After the tossing just now, there was more sweat on her body, and there was also sweat on her forehead.

Wang Jiulang saw that her face was flushed and her temples were wet with sweat. He felt distressed and blamed himself, so he took out a handkerchief and handed it to her to wipe off the sweat, then reached out and picked a neat lotus leaf, and put it on her head himself. Only then did the boat support itself, rowing away like a Taiyi lotus boat.

"Tell me again, what happened next?"

"First, the mighty general died of illness, and then the princess's father was defeated by the Japanese pirates in Fujian. The emperor Longyan was furious, and reprimanded the prince for the disadvantage of deploying troops, nepotism, and delaying state affairs. Then the disciple of Xue Shenyi discovered that the emperor used it in the palace. The incense is poisonous, the emperor was furious and ordered Jin Yiwei to conduct a thorough investigation, and all kinds of evidence point to the prince."

"The prince was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned for life. The second prince was established as a prince. In May of the same year, the emperor died of illness and the second prince ascended the throne. One year after the second prince ascended the throne, King Rong rebelled, and the eunuch in the palace was bought by King Rong and poisoned to death. The new emperor, King Rong successfully rebelled."

Wang Jiulang nodded, and continued to hold on, without speaking.

Gu Chongyang was a little anxious: "Jiulang, can you prevent the second prince from ascending the throne? The second prince is quite stupid and absurd. If he hadn't been thinking about alchemy and seeking medicine and immortality all day after registration, he would have made the court a mess. King Rong will never succeed in rebelling so easily."

If King Rong hadn't succeeded in rebelling, how could Duke Wen's mansion be ransacked and beheaded, and how could Wang Jiulang be forced to that place?

The undisguised anxiety and concern in Gu Chongyang's eyes made Wang Jiulang's heart swell, and it feels so good to be relied on and trusted by others.

"Okay!" Wang Jiulang nodded slightly, his voice was like the spring breeze in March, which was slightly smoky: "Don't worry, the scene in your dream will never appear, I promise."

He wants to live well and protect her well.

Facing his gaze, Gu Chongyang could clearly hear his beating heartbeat and feel his pulsating blood.

There is no doubt that she really fell in love with this stalwart man in front of her who was as tall as a pine tree.

He protected her, cared for her, took care of him, and now it was finally her turn to repay him.

"Kurang, have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare? Your illness really can't be delayed any longer, and you must be treated immediately."

"The things are ready, let's go ashore and talk about it."

When the boat docked on the Taiyi Lotus Boat, Wang Jiulang landed first, and then naturally stretched out his hand to Gu Chongyang.

The fingers are slender and fair, with well-defined joints and strong clank.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help swallowing, she was already 14 years old, and Jiu Lang still regarded her as a child.

While she was still hesitating, Wang Jiulang had already grabbed her wrist, and with a light lift, she fell firmly to the ground.

Gu Chongyang looked back at the boat, then at the ground, estimated the distance in his heart, and couldn't help being a little confused.

So far away, Jiulang lifted her up all at once, how did he do it?
"Kuro, do you know kung fu?"

She widened her eyes and looked at Wang Jiulang in amazement, with expectation and admiration in her eyes.

No matter how calm and sophisticated Wang Jiulang is, he is just an ordinary young man in front of the woman he loves at the moment, seeing the little girl looking at him like this, he can't help feeling a little elated.

The little girl's adoring eyes and surprised tone made him feel like he had eaten ginseng fruit, and there was not a single spot on his body that was not ironed.

He was extremely happy in his heart, but his face was very calm, he only slightly curled his lips and nodded: "I know a little bit of kung fu."

"I knew it, I knew it!" Gu Chongyang's eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, and he looked at him without blinking: "You must not only know a little bit of kung fu, you must be very good, right? Jiulang, you are amazing, Not only are you proficient in the rhyme of poetry and books, but also kung fu, no wonder people say you are a god and first-class character, no wonder so many little girls admire you."

Gu Chongyang stopped abruptly, raised his head and asked solemnly: "I read in the legendary book that there is a kind of person who knows kung fu, who can fly over eaves and walls, shrink bones and deform them, touch water like a dragonfly, and be invulnerable to swords and guns. Is this true?"

The little girl's eyes were wide open, she asked strange words solemnly, she was extremely cute, Wang Jiulang couldn't hold back, he couldn't help laughing, and shook his head helplessly.

Gu Chongyang was stunned.

Kuro usually has a straight face, and even if he occasionally smiles, it's just superficial and very perfunctory. It's rare to laugh out of heart like today.It's like the sky just after the rain, it's bright and refreshing, and it brightens up people's hearts.

Seeing him go far away, Gu Chongyang stepped up to catch up and asked: "Jiulang, do you really know?"

"Some will, some won't." Wang Jiulang gave her a doting look, and comforted him, "Some are not as powerful as you said."

"That is to say, Jiulang, you really know it?" Gu Chongyang sighed: "It's amazing, flying over the eaves and walls must be difficult for Jiulang, no wonder I took a bath that day, Jiulang, you..."

The voice stopped abruptly, Gu Chongyang wished he could bite off his tongue, and calmly mentioned what happened that day.

Her face was red enough to drip blood, and she remained motionless, not daring to look at Wang Jiulang's face.
