Chapter 405 (1/2)
Linglong heard a silver bell like smile outside, rubbed her eyebrows and woke up from bed. She didn't know what had happened bleary eyed. The maid knocked at the door and said, ”is Miss awake? Princess Gu came to find her to put the paper kite.”
Linglong can't help feeling numb on her scalp. After accompanying the princess for several days, the daughter who grew up on the grassland can toss people better than anyone. She is almost overwhelmed. I didn't expect to find myself to put the paper kite so early. Suddenly, my whole body was soft and I just wanted to sleep in bed. She said vaguely. ”No, I'm sick today. I can't get up.”
The palace maid hurriedly worried and said, ”are you all right, miss? Do you want to let the imperial doctor come and have a look?”
”You tell the princess first that I can't get up,” Linglong deliberately made it difficult to speak. ”I don't need a doctor first. Maybe I'll just drink more hot water. Go and tell the princess that I can't go out with her to put paper kites.”
There was a rustle outside the door. Gu Zhen knocked on the door and asked, ”Linglong, are you all right? Am I tired of taking you to catch butterflies yesterday? So you were ill. Open the door and let me see. I'll get you a royal doctor.”
You didn't toss about. Linglong rolled her eyes in her heart and coughed deliberately. ”It's no big deal. I just can't get up. I just want to sleep a little longer. Go and find the maid in charge to put a paper kite for you. I'll be fine tomorrow.”
Gu Gu asked again outside the door. Seeing that she didn't open the door, she thought she was really tired. She didn't even have the strength to get up from bed and open the door, so she lost her strength and walked away.
Time without playmates is always boring. Gu Gu and the maid in waiting have nothing to say. She walks in the garden with a paper kite and loses her direction in the twinkling of an eye. She looks blankly behind her. There is only one palace here and no one can see. She feels thirsty and impatient, so she goes to knock on the Palace door.
After knocking several times, no one answered the door. Just when she was disappointed, the door was opened. A familiar face came out and looked at her with the same surprised eyes.
”Aren't you Chu Changqing's brother,” Gu was slightly surprised. ”Xu Han flew here. How can you live in the back palace?” ”this is not the back palace. This is already the emperor's Outer Palace. I follow the emperor and naturally want to live in the outer palace,” Xu Hanfei frowned. ”Why are you here, not with Chu Changqing?”
”I'm not always with him,” Gu said, licking his dry lips. ”Can you let me in for a drink? I'm lost here.”
”You can't even tell the inner palace from the outer palace in the back palace. How can you not get lost,” Xu Hanfei reluctantly spread his hands. ”Your envoy Xirong lives in the inner palace. I live in the outer palace. The queen is in the back palace. She is still in the East Palace.”
”I can't understand you coming and going to the palace. Why don't you let me go in and drink water,” Gu Tao stopped his arm and went in. ”Do you live in such a big palace alone?”
Xu Hanfei twitched his lips behind him. ”Some people's palaces are bigger than me. I'm really nothing.”
Gu Tu put out his tongue and said with a smile, ”you're not talking about the queen. She must be bigger than you, or it won't make sense.”
As soon as Xiyu entered the door, he smelled the wine rising to the sky. While covering his nose, he asked the waiter to wake up the wine soup. ”Lord, you didn't drink early in the morning. Drinking this morning is very harmful. Why don't you pay attention to your body?”
”I'm neither the emperor nor a pregnant woman, and I don't have to go to the front to fight. I should pay attention to my body,” said Chu Chengxun with a smile on his lips and a slight drunkenness on his face. ”I just drank a few cups. Don't be so surprised.”
”The slave was surprised. When he saw the emperor coming that day, he knew you would drink. He didn't expect to drink like this,” Xi Yu rubbed his eyebrows and sighed slightly. ”You must not let the emperor see it. He will inevitably think more.”
”He'll think more when he sees anything. Even if I drink tea, he'll think more. It's better to tell me to fly away,” Chu Chengxun smiled bitterly. ”Why did we listen to the former Emperor and go back to the state of Qin? How good it was to stay in Xirong.”
”Now Xirong and the state of Qin are at war, and the people living in the two countries will suffer. In the state of Qin, they can still live a good life by virtue of their status as a prince,” Xi Yu frowned. ”We heard that the soldiers on the front line are living a very hard life, and we can be described as singing and dancing.”
Chu Chengxun raised his eyes and looked at him, ”why, you want to go to the front to fight with Xirong. Don't forget that you are from Xirong. Has the flood washed the Dragon King Temple?”
”I have long regarded myself as a person of the state of Qin. I got a massacre in Xirong,” Xi Yu's eyes darkened. ”I want to go to the front line, but there is a lord to take care of. How can I rest assured?”
