Chapter 81

On the day of the palace examination, Gu Qilin went to Huayan Palace and sat on the edge of the bed looking at Chu Yan who was still sleeping.

She slept peacefully, but he didn't know how long this tranquility could last.

Because they all knew that she was far from being so carefree on the surface.

Gu Qi tucked the two corners of the quilt for her, then bent down and kissed her on the forehead, sighed, and then turned around.

One step, two steps.

As if with a premonition, he suddenly stood still, and then turned around without warning.

Chu Yan still maintained the posture just now, her black eyes were wide open, looking at him without blinking.

She woke up early.

This tacit understanding came so inexplicably, and he didn't know why he turned around inexplicably, as if he had a premonition in his heart that she would not sleep so soundly.

Gu Qi looked at those translucent black eyes, sighed, and went back to the bed.

"When did you wake up?"

She blinked, and replied in a lazy and slightly low voice, "When Your Highness gets up."

...So, you have been awake for half an hour?

Sitting beside her, Gu Qi poked her smooth forehead, "Why don't you continue to sleep?"

"Can't sleep." The answer was expected.

He naturally knew why she couldn't sleep, and hesitated for a moment, "If in the past, the emperor was drafting in the imperial examination, the empress should also be there. Now the emperor has never returned to the palace, and I will do everything in person. If you are worried..."

After a pause, "If you are worried, go with me."

He was serious, looking at her with heavy eyes, as if as long as she nodded, he would take her there without hesitation.

Chu Yan laughed suddenly, her eyes sparkling, "Your Highness, do you know that you are really handsome when you play for your own interests?"

"...Handsome?" He frowned slightly, not quite understanding.

Chu Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that she seemed to have used the wrong word!
She smiled and took his hand and took a bite, "It's just to praise Your Highness that you are handsome and unrestrained. In the future, you must protect your weaknesses and bend the law for personal gain!"

Gu Qi laughed suddenly, and pinched her face helplessly, "Stop flattering, should we go or not?"

"No." Chu Yan shook her head, "I didn't want to see them in the first place, so why make fun of myself? If I see everyone prettier than me, wouldn't I feel aggrieved?"

Pulling up the quilt to cover her face like a resentful woman.

Gu Qi really admired her childlike temper, stretched out his hand to pull away the quilt, and rescued her blushing face buried under it, "There are thousands of beauties in the world, if they don't fall in my heart, no matter how beautiful they are, they are just skins."

He pointedly pointed at her forehead, "Whoever can enter my heart, beauty or not beauty is in my heart."

Chu Yan retorted unconvinced, "Your Highness, what do you mean, I am not beautiful anymore?"

"Are you really sure you've found the key point?" Someone raised his forehead.

"I'm just talking about the facts." She refused to accept it and insisted on him giving an answer, "Your Highness, tell me, am I beautiful or not?"

Gu Qi almost wanted to laugh out loud, could she be any more shameless?

"Meimeimei, is it alright?" He said three words in succession, expressing his agreement.

"No, it's too insincere to say that, it's purely perfunctory!" Chu Yan became even more irritable, "Are you serious, Your Highness?"

I really don't understand how a person who was so melancholy about the draft a moment ago that he couldn't sleep, can be so energetic and entangled with him on this kind of issue now.

But her eyes are rebellious and crystal clear, like a cunning and willful little fox, her cheeks are bright red, she doesn't know whether she is angry or just suffocated by being covered by the quilt, her peach-like lips are still opening and closing Said something, very attractive.

Gu Qi didn't have so many scruples, he simply leaned over and kissed the chattering mouth, and finally the room was quiet.

Chu Yan's first reaction was: She hasn't rinsed her mouth yet!

...It doesn't matter, anyway, it's not her who is disgusting, and His Royal Highness doesn't bother, what does she care about so much?
Lingering, silent, tossing and turning, sucking, biting and kissing.

This kiss lasted for quite a while, until peach blossoms crawled all over Chu Yan's face and ears, Gu Qi finally let her go slightly.

"The princess is so beautiful, so beautiful that when I see you, I can't help but want to do this or that to you."

Chu Yan: "...."

He looked at her with a smile, "Is this sincere enough?"

Enough is enough, you are too much!

Wrapped in the quilt, Chu Yan shrank into the bed, turned her back to him suddenly, muttered something like "Dengtuzi", and then ignored him.

The white earlobes exposed outside the bed were turning red, like the ears of a bunny.

Wan Xi outside the door urged, "Your Highness, if you don't leave... I'm afraid it will be too late."

The show girls entered the palace overnight, and they must have been waiting outside the palace for a long time at this moment.

Gu Qi restrained his smile, and finally said softly, "Then I'll go first, come back earlier in the evening, and have dinner together."

The person huddled under the quilt didn't move or make a sound.

He just stood there and waited.

In the end, Chu Yan couldn't hold back, and muttered casually, "Go, go, go and see your beauties, lest Deng disciples keep harassing me."

Gu Qi laughed, shook his head as he walked out, and did not forget to tell him before going out, "Don't go to bed too late, breakfast is too late, and you won't be able to eat at noon."

He finally left Yong'an Palace.

The morning sun showed a bright red corner in the distance, the rays of the sun surged, and the vermilion deep palace ushered in a new day.

There was a faint smile on the corner of Gu Qi's lips, and he was in a particularly comfortable mood.

He caressed the corner of his lips thoughtfully, as if reminiscing about the sweet taste just now.

He thought he understood Chu Yan's intentions, such a childish side was not only a spoiled act of his wife, but also a comfort and encouragement to him.

At least now he has enough peace of mind to go to Huayan Hall. Since she trusts him, he must bear her trust.

There are thousands of beauties in the world, if they don't fall into his heart, no matter how beautiful they are, they are just skins.

But Chu Yan was different.

Her beauty is natural, not only because of her appearance, but also because of her precious heart.

Inside the room, Chu Yan's smile faded slowly.

The prince treated her more and more tenderly, but she did not let down her vigilance at all.

The rain is about to come, how much has she prepared for?
It is important to seize the prince's heart, but the group of beauties who are about to enter the palace should not be underestimated, so the road to treacherous concubine is a long way to go.

When the crown prince was drafting in Huayan Palace, Chu Yan drank tea lazily in Yong'an Palace.

A few days ago, this year’s tribute tea was sent to the palace, the Lion Dragon Well Tea from West Lake, Junshan Yinzhen from Yueyang Dongting, Maofeng from Huangshan, Yunwu tea from Lushan...

The prince likes the refreshing and mellow Longjing, while Chuyan prefers the freshness and sweetness of the silver needle.

In the past, there was almost no other tea in Yong'an Palace, only Longjing would be enough, but now... the crown prince smiled, and asked people to keep most of the silver needles here, and the rest of the tea was distributed to the palace. master.

Chu Yan sat on the edge of the promenade basking in the sun, drinking tea, holding a small folk book in her hand, and lived a leisurely life.

After all, the number of ancient works that can survive in modern times is too limited. Many interesting folk books have been lost in the end. Chu Yan, a bookworm, has a good way to pass the time in the Xuan Dynasty.

It's just that after a while, someone suddenly visited outside Yong'an Palace.

The little eunuch on duty came in and announced that the wife of Captain Xiao Cheng, Mrs. Feng, had come to pay her respects to the Crown Princess.

Chu Yan's brows stretched, and she smiled slightly, "Quickly ask her to come in."

Feng Jingshu?
That lovely, always comforting woman.

Knowing that the crown prince was drafted, he expected her to be in a panic, so he came here to accompany her?
The rising sun is born, and the sun is shining brightly.

The eunuch outside the door shouted in a long voice, "Chuanxiu girl enters the palace to meet—"

Ten women in pale pink cloud brocade palace dresses and embroidered skirts walked in from outside the Huayan Hall gracefully, lined up in two rows, with elegant and beautiful postures.

In the main hall, there are the prince, queen mother, Concubine Mu, Zhao Ronghua, and some officials of ceremonies and female officials of Shangyi Bureau.

Originally, the selection required several high-ranking harem masters to be present, but the queen didn't like these things, and Zhao Ronghua, although low in rank, was the birth mother of the prince, so he made up for this vacancy.

Gu Qi sat calmly on top of the hall, looking at the two rows of beautiful girls in front of him, his eyes quickly passed over their faces.

The seven beautiful girls come from the official families in the capital, and the three come from the folk, either rich or noble.

Among them, Princess Qingyang, daughter of Mu Qingzhuo, Mu Nianqiu, daughter of the admiral of the capital, Shen Xin, and Princess Qi's niece, Shi Yanting, have the most prominent family backgrounds. Although the other three are not as distinguished, they are all from the famous courtiers in the capital. family.

The beautiful girls entered the palace yesterday, and learned some basic rules under the guidance of the female officials of the Shangyi Bureau. Now, no matter what their backgrounds are, they are all wearing the same basic palace clothes.

Gu Qi noticed that Qing Yang, who was standing first on the right, had no rules at all, and looked up at him straightly, frowning slightly, which was really sad.

No matter what, it is impossible for him to choose Qingyang into the palace. This girl is unreasonable and lacks family education. Gong, what will happen to her?
Being arrogant and doing her own way, she definitely regards the imperial palace as her own princess mansion.

And what is the harem?Cannibalism does not spit out bones, whether she can live in peace is a question.

Gu Qi didn't really care too much about whether she would commit suicide, what he cared about was that once she succeeds in committing suicide, what would Qin Yuanshan do?
It's just that Qingyang came to the palace to harass him again and again, and because of Qin Yuanshan's face, it was inconvenient for him to care about it.

Seeing that Qingyang's name was impressively on the draft list this time, his heart moved and he had an idea.

The unruly princess is a big problem, and any grandson in the capital will have to take a detour if he sees it, so as not to offend this little ancestor.

How the eldest princess was domineering in the palace in the past, this little ancestor followed suit, and even surpassed it, so no young prince has ever struck up a conversation with her or said a few words to her.

What if she was summoned into the palace by chance of the draft, but in the end she was not selected into the harem, but... instead, proposed marriage for her?
If it refers to a good family, firstly, it can solve the problem of always being harassed by Qingyang, and secondly, it can be regarded as a kindness to Qin Yuanshan, and the financial distress of the Princess Mansion over the years can also be alleviated.

Gu Qi's idea really kills three birds with one stone.

He feels awesome.

However, whether it is good to implement is another matter. You ask me why?
Well, because Qingyang is born in the year of Ox!
