Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 234 Gu Lingqing's Thoughts

After Gu Lingqing walked into the house, she closed the door tightly to block the cold wind from outside. She saw Zhao Min sitting by the fire and eating oranges leisurely, as if the person who fled just now was not her.

Looking at Zhao Min's cheeks stuffed with oranges, chewing them like a squirrel, Gu Lingqing couldn't help coughing twice, suppressing the smile on her face, and walked beside her Sitting with a straight face on purpose.

Gu Lingqing made a loud noise on purpose, and put the wooden box in her hand on the far side from Zhao Min.

After hearing the sound, Zhao Min raised his eyes and found the wooden box next to Gu Lingqing. When Gu Lingqing entered the hospital just now, Zhao Min felt guilty and quickly fled back into the house, not even noticing whether he was holding a box in his hand. Something else.

"How can some people be so disobedient, regardless of their own bodies, and have fun playing against the cold wind. Tell me, how should I punish this person?"

Gu Lingqing tilted her head, the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed, and Zhao Min who was looking straight at him didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Even if Zhao Min lowered his head, he could still feel a fiery gaze looking at him. After all, he couldn't bear this feeling. Zhao Min raised his head to look at Gu Lingqing, and stretched his neck, feeling like a strong man going to die : "Okay, okay, I was wrong, how to punish, it's up to you."

As Zhao Min said, she closed her eyes. Gu Lingqing could see from her slightly trembling eyelids that she was also very anxious. Gu Lingqing tried her best to hold back her smile, and stretched out her hand, but she flicked it lightly. On Zhao Min's forehead.

Zhao Minmin received this innocuous "punishment", opened her eyes, and saw the smile in Gu Lingqing's eyes, and immediately realized that she had been fooled: "Okay, how dare you play tricks on me!"

Zhao Min rushed towards Gu Lingqing with all her teeth and claws, but she didn't want to stumble under her foot when she got up, and fell straight on Gu Lingqing's body.

Zhao Min looked at the handsome face that was close at hand, especially the way Gu Lingqing looked at her, which made Zhao Min feel as if there were stars and seas in his eyes, so attracted that she couldn't look away.

Gu Lingqing tightly held Zhao Min's waist, and a smirk appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Is it so impatient to throw yourself into your arms?"

Hearing the ridicule in Gu Lingqing's words, Zhao Min came back to his senses, slapped Gu Lingqing on the chest, quickly got up from him, sat aside and muttered: "You are so self-indulgent!"

If the roots behind Zhao Min's ears hadn't turned red, this sentence would be more believable.

Gu Lingqing felt that Zhao Min like this was very cute, and she didn't intend to tease her anymore, so she put the wooden box she brought over on her lap: "It's for you."

In the past few days, Zhao Min was restricted by Gu Lingqing and was not allowed to go out to play by herself, so she felt very bored after staying in the house all day.

So every time Gu Lingqing searched for some good things for herself, Zhao Min would look very curious and excited, and this time was no exception.

Although Zhao Min was a little angry just now and Gu Lingqing deliberately teased her behavior, but at this moment, she opened the wooden box on her lap neatly, looked at some exquisite wooden products inside, and played with it in her hands.

The crackling sound of the fire next to it added a trace of fireworks to the quiet room. Gu Lingqing felt the atmosphere at this moment and made a secret decision in her heart.

"Thank you, Ling Qing." Zhao Min's eyes were shining brightly, Gu Lingqing was a little stunned for a moment.

It wasn't until Zhao Min stretched out his right hand and waved it in front of Gu Lingqing's eyes that he came back to his senses.

"What's wrong with you? What were you thinking just now? I called you several times and didn't answer."

"If, I mean, if I want to do something extremely risky, will you support me?" Gu Lingqing rubbed her fingers unconsciously, caring very much about Zhao Min's answer.

Zhao Min was playing with the wooden product in his hand just now. After hearing this sentence, he quickly raised his head: "What is dangerous? What are you going to do?"

Zhao Min's face was full of worry, and Gu Lingqing pursed her lips tightly: "Don't worry, I just said if."

There was a wry smile on Zhao Min's face. If possible, she would like to live in the countryside with Gu Lingqing, but she also knew that the thought in her heart was just a beautiful yearning. After all, Gu Lingqing wanted to achieve something of her own. For a big cause, can I be his stumbling block?

"You can do whatever you want without worrying about me. No matter what the situation is, I will unconditionally support your decision."

Although Gu Lingqing only said if, but he would not ask such a question for no reason, he must have made a decision in his heart.

Zhao Min raised his head and looked straight at Gu Lingqing with firm eyes.

Gu Lingqing didn't speak, instead she gently hugged Zhao Min into her arms, which strengthened her thoughts, that such a woman, she must not let her fall into danger again.

It’s almost the end of the new year, and the snow has been falling very heavily these past few days. There has been no movement from the emperor’s side, and Gu Lingqing has never been invited to the palace for an audience. Gu Lingqing also has her own opinions in her heart. It must be during the New Year’s Eve, during the palace dinner , the emperor will definitely take action.

Gu Lingqing's guess was indeed good. On the night of the New Year's Eve, the emperor held a banquet in the palace, and Gu Lingqing, as his nephew, would naturally also attend.

Gu Lingqing was arranged to sit next to Gu Qi. After he was seated, Gu Qi's gaze was cast on him frequently, but Gu Lingqing kept looking forward the whole time, drinking by herself, without giving him a look.

A look of disappointment flashed in Gu Qi's eyes. A few days ago, after hearing that the poison on Zhao Min's body was cured, he was also very happy for her, but he couldn't muster up the courage to come to see her.

Zheng Yihui, who was sitting next to Gu Qi, saw that Gu Qi had been drinking in suspense, one after another, and persuaded him: "Your Highness, the banquet has not started yet, so it is not appropriate to drink too much."

With a "bang", Gu Qi vigorously put the wine glass in his hand on the table, which startled Zheng Yihui who was next to him: "Your Highness..."

Gu Qi didn't even look at him, and planned to get up and walk towards Gu Lingqing, wanting to explain to him.

But I never thought that at this time, Eunuch Li's sharp voice came: "The emperor is here."

Gu Qi had to suppress his inner impulse and sat down again in his seat.

The emperor and the empress walked slowly to the main seat and sat down. After taking their seats, Eunuch Li filled the wine glass in front of the emperor.

The emperor raised his wine glass: "After tonight, it will be a new year. Tonight is just a family banquet. You don't need to be too restrained. Just treat it as an ordinary family having a New Year's Eve dinner together."

Everyone stood up and toasted with the emperor. After seeing the emperor drank the wine in his hand, everyone drank it one after another.
