The next day, Qin Qi made an appointment with Cheng Yan.When the two got up to greet the eldest princess, the eldest princess looked at Qin Qi more inquiringly than usual.Qin Qi didn't pay attention, and continued talking and laughing.However, Gu Li found that the eldest princess glanced at the old nanny next to her without any trace, and the old nanny nodded slightly.

After the three of them had breakfast together, the eldest princess grabbed Qin Xi and said, "Qiqi, don't run around today. Go back to Kangyuan and rest more." She then told Xiuru, "Order the kitchen to send some supplements to Kang." Go to the garden. Also let the nanny who is beside Xiqi come over."

Qin Qi looked at the eldest princess in confusion, "Mother, what happened?"

The eldest princess looked at her daughter lovingly, and said with a smile: "It's okay. My Qi Qi has grown up, of course, mother should tell your nanny to be more careful. You go back first, Li'er and I have something to talk about."

Qin Qi looked at Gu Li with some reluctance.Gu Li patted her head, "Good boy, I'll be back in a while."

"Yeah." Qin Qi left with Rice and Xiaomi.

The eldest princess waved away all the maids and maids, and there were only mother and daughter in the room.Gu Li already guessed what the eldest princess was going to say, just waiting for her to speak.

"Li'er, Qiqi is still young and doesn't understand anything. You should take good care of her about the matters in the boudoir." The eldest princess said this very directly.

Gu Li's face was still red. "Mom, I..."

"You don't need to rush to explain anything. From the day you two lived together, I knew that this would happen sooner or later. I'm very pleased that you can keep up with Qiqi and Jiji. Now that Qiqi has become yours Man, I will always accept this betrothal gift." In the last sentence, the Eldest Princess smiled slyly.

"Betroth gift?" Gu Li was stunned.

"What? Qiqi is the most beloved Princess of Mingxi Kingdom. Since you choose to be with her, shouldn't you prepare a betrothal gift? Although you are both women, you cannot hold a big wedding. But the private betrothal gift , but it cannot be saved.”

Gu Li's eyebrows twitched, "All my things are in Kangyuan's warehouse. If you don't mind, mother, I'm willing to use these rewards as betrothal gifts." She knew that the eldest princess's purpose was not to want these gold and silver things.

Unexpectedly, the eldest princess shook her head and said: "These things are not enough. I want you to say a word."

"One word?" Gu Li didn't understand.

"My Qiqi has been tortured by inflammation and poison since birth. This is my mother who is sorry for her. So I hope her life will be smooth and smooth. Li'er, from the first time I saw you, I knew you were a good boy. You came from Feiyejin Academy, so even if you don't rely on your status as a royal family, you still have enough ability to protect Qiqi. Therefore, I will give you Qiqi with confidence. As a mother, I have nothing to ask for, I only want Qiqi to be happy. Even if she is not the princess, even if we are gone, I still hope she is happy and safe. Li'er, can you give me such a promise?"

The eldest princess has experienced many twists and turns in her life, but she is a decisive person.Otherwise, how could she drink that cup of poisoned wine for her brother?And how could he assist his elder brother to ascend to the throne in a harem that was in constant crisis?It's just that all the successes are not worth the debt to Qin Qi.As long as Qin Qi can be happy, she doesn't care about anything.

"Mother." Gu Li solemnly knelt on the ground, raised his head and said, "Gu Li promises to you today that he will truly love Qi Qi in this life. Let her live happily and worry-free. Keep her safe."

After listening to Gu Li's words, the eldest princess stretched out her hand to help her up. "So, I solemnly hand over Qiqi to you." The two women held hands together.These are the two most important women in Qin Qi's life, and they work together to protect her life without any worries.

On the way back to Kangyuan, Gu Li ordered Xiangmi to hand over the ledger recording the rewards to the eldest princess for review. Although the words were said, the actual things had to be available.In fact, although those things are all precious things, they are still a little less as a dowry gift for marrying Qin Qi.But the eldest princess didn't care, took a look, smiled and said to Xiangmi: "You are the most powerful person by my side. I gave you to Li'er to be the aunt in charge. Dami and Xiaomi are younger, and Jiangmi is more than clever. , lack of composure. From now on, you will be responsible for the affairs in Kangyuan. Xiangmi, don’t let me down."

Xiangmi hurriedly knelt down and said, "I will definitely do my best, thank you Your Highness for your kindness."

When Gu Li returned to Kangyuan, Qin Qi was playing with Zidou.One person and one mink were running around the house, and they didn't stop for a while.

As soon as Qin Qi saw Gu Li, he immediately dropped Zidou and came to Gu Li's side.Seeing Gu Li, Zi Dou ran over and touched Gu Li's shoulder two or three times.

"What did mother tell you?" Qin Qi asked.

"Mother said she wanted to marry you to me." Gu Li said with a smile.

Qin Qi blushed, but looked at Gu Li with big eyes without blinking, "And then? Did Sister Li agree?"

Seeing her expectant look, Gu Li's bad intentions rose again. "Of course not. You said you would never marry, right? You even made a poisonous oath."

"I..." Qin Qi was stunned.She did take a poisonous vow never to marry.But the married person here refers to marrying a man.Marrying sister Li should not count, right? "Marrying a woman doesn't count, does it?" Qin Qi lowered his head and whispered to his fingers.

Gu Li just pretended not to hear. "In order to prevent your poisonous oath from being fulfilled, I can only refuse Mother's proposal." Gu Li spread his hands, looking like "I am also very helpless".

Qin Qi's big eyes gradually filled with tears.She suddenly raised her right hand, pointed at the sky with two fingers and said: "God, what Qiqi said before is not marrying a man. You must hear it clearly, women don't count."

Gu Li couldn't help laughing out loud.Qin Qi turned his head and looked aggrieved. "Is this okay?"

Only then did Gu Li realize the tears in the little rabbit's eyes, he hurriedly picked him up and put him in his arms, Zidou ran to the side table and lay down on his stomach.Gu Li wiped Qin Qi's tears with a handkerchief and said, "Why are you so stupid? How could I refuse? It's been so long, don't you know my heart?"

After being coaxed by Gu Li, Qin Qi, who was originally only full of tears, cried so hard that he gasped and hiccupped.

"Qiqi is afraid... I'm not enough... well, I'm afraid that sister Li... hates me. Sister Li... is always like this, Qi Qi will... be afraid." Qin Qi hiccupped, speaking intermittently .

"Okay, it's my fault. Be good, don't cry anymore." Gu Li patted her back carefully, comforting her little by little.

Another afternoon later, Cheng Yan went out of the palace to attend an appointment in the royal garden outside the city.

"Qiqi, I have something to ask the princess." Gu Li said.

"En." Qin Qi nodded obediently.Take Sanmi to the side to play together.Fragrant rice has become the aunt in charge, and ordinary things no longer follow her.

Cheng Yan's gaze also followed Gu Li to Qin Qi who was going away. "Senior Sister wants to pamper someone, she really pampers her to the sky." No action is needed, just that look in her eyes fills people with a sense of happiness.

"It was you who poisoned me, right?" Gu Li asked directly without going around the corner at all.

Cheng Yan took a deep breath, "It's me."

Gu Li finally turned to look at her, "Do you have anything to say?"

"What if I don't say it?" Cheng Yan stood up straight and said provocatively, "Will you kill me?"

"You know Feiyejin's rules. It's unacceptable to hurt fellow disciples." Gu Li still had a faint look in his eyes.But Cheng Yan knew that Gu Li did the same thing when he killed someone.

Cheng Yan lowered her head and smiled. "Actually, it's not bad to die at the hands of Senior Sister."

Gu Li frowned.What's the idea? "Give me an explanation I can understand."

Cheng Yan restrained her smile, "I was the one who poisoned you. But I don't know anything about King Rui." She raised her head, "Do you believe what I say, Senior Sister?"

"I believe."

Cheng Yan was a little surprised by Gu Li's answer. "You believe me?"

"I believe you also don't want to see me with King Rui." Gu Li said coldly. "What happened to King Rui? You must have some clues, right?"

Cheng Yan thought for a while, "I did this with Miao Shuang."

"Princess Miao Shuang?" Gu Li didn't expect that she would be involved.

"I..." What Cheng Yan was going to say next seemed to be difficult to say, she hesitated for a long time before saying: "My original intention was to poison senior sister to hallucinate, and then with me... even if nothing happens, at least it can destroy you The relationship with Feng An." Cheng Yan raised her head and said stubbornly: "I just can't be reconciled."

Gu Li now wants to open Cheng Yan's head to see what's inside?What is the purpose of all this fuss?To get her?Cheng Yan has been with her for five years, doesn't she know her temperament?How can she be coerced by such a thing?Even if Cheng Yan's wishes were really fulfilled, she would not give in.And Cheng Yan is more likely to be held accountable by Fei Yejin.At that time, Cheng Yan, the princess's name, might not be able to cover her.

"You should be thankful that you didn't succeed. Otherwise, would you be able to bear the thunderous wrath of the headmaster?" Gu Li trembled three times thinking about the anger of the headmaster.

Of course Cheng Yan knew the consequences, but she was still unwilling to reconcile those words.

"What did Princess Miao Shuang do?" Gu Li continued to ask.

"She is responsible for distracting Feng An so that I can go to the apse to find you without attracting attention. But when I was about to find you, she tripped me up."

Cheng Yan is not a fool.At that time, she was caught by Cheng Yun and immediately realized that the situation had changed.Cheng Yun tripped her, Gu Li behind must be in danger.She knew the poison she had given herself. With that amount of crushed heart fruit powder, ordinary people would have lost consciousness long ago.Even though Gu Li has high martial arts skills, it is still very hard to stay awake.So she used martial arts to hold Cheng Yun to the apse while no one was paying attention.Unexpectedly, when he pushed open the door of the apse, what he saw was King Rui and Gu Yin.

"So it's Princess Miaoshuang's problem. She drugged King Rui, and she let King Rui in. Her ability is really great." Gu Li analyzed.

"Senior Sister, don't you believe me?" Cheng Yan could hear the strange tone in Gu Li's last sentence.

Gu Li glanced at Qin Qi who was playing in the grass in the distance, turned his head to look directly at Cheng Yan and said, "Junior Sister Cheng Yan, can I believe your words?"

Instead of calling her "princess", she called her "junior sister". Gu Li was asking this as a senior sister.Cheng Yan knew what this meant.It means that Gu Li is willing to let the relationship between the two go back to the academy period, back to the good old days.This is already the greatest trust Gu Li can give her.

"Senior sister, I guarantee that what I said at this moment is true." Cheng Yan sighed countless times in her heart.Faced with such a face, I really can't bear to cheat.

"Okay, I believe you." Gu Li immediately asked another question. "Why did Princess Miao Shuang join forces with you? And why did she use King Rui to harm me?"

"I can only answer your first question." Cheng Yan turned her head without hesitation and said, "Because of her."

"Qiqi?" Gu Li frowned.How could it be related to Qin Qi.

"Because of his father's relationship, Miao Shuang has no friends since he was a child. Our clan has some gatherings every year. She is going to attend, but she is not seen. She often hides in a corner and watches us play together. Until Feng An found out Her. Feng An will play with her every time, and the relationship between the two is getting better and better. But you also know Feng An's temperament, he likes to be lively, and after playing with Miao Shuang for a while, he will go to play with other sisters. She is The most favored, the sisters all like to play with her. So Miao Shuang was left out in the cold again. Later...she first wanted to monopolize Feng An. She used some small tricks, and after being discovered by the mother, I don’t know what tricks Miao Shuang used. I didn't dare to do it anymore. I found out after I came back from Feiyejin that Miao Shuang actually started to resent Feng An. It was also for this reason that she pushed Feng An into the water last time. But she didn't mean to kill Feng An. She knew that Feng An was a good swimmer. I just did this. Senior sister, Miao Shuang likes Feng An. It's just that this liking is not normal anymore." Cheng Yan told Gu Li everything she knew, and immediately felt a lot easier in her heart.It turns out that a person hides too many things in his heart, and he will be tired.

"Thank you for telling me this." Gu Li felt scared after hearing this.This Princess Miaoshuang seems to be about the same age as Qin Qi, and her life experience is also very poor, but with such a temperament, she can't get any closer.

Cheng Yan smiled, "Sister, don't forget, I am the one who poisoned you. Tell me what you want to do with me. Even if you want my life, I will give it to you."

Gu Li shook his head.His eyes were full of disapproval. "You are young, how can you talk about life and death lightly? Junior sister, let's forget about this time. But if there is another time, I will report to the academy. What kind of punishment will be imposed at that time is not up to me," she asked. There was something I wanted to know, and I was ready to end the conversation. After turning around, I turned back and said, "Master Miaoshuang can't do these things alone. It's convenient for you to do things in the palace. You might as well find out who is cooperating with her." .”

Gu Li walked towards Qin Qi.The back is tall and straight, like a stalk of green bamboo, standing upright at the festival of Lingyun, swaying but still holding on to itself.

Cheng Yan smiled, as expected of someone she had liked for so many years.It is a pity to miss it so much, but it is also helpless.She knew she would never do it again.The moment she saw King Rui appearing in the apse, she felt extremely flustered.She was afraid that something would happen to Gu Li.If anything happened to Gu Li at that time, she would never forgive herself.

A woman like Gu Li should be as transparent and straight as a green bamboo, despite the wind and rain, she should still be noble and self-sufficient.

"Princess..." Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, Cheng Yan's personal maid came over and waited for orders.

"Go back to the palace." Cheng Yan glanced at Gu Li who was playing with Qin Qi in the distance, then turned and left.

Seeing Gu Li approaching, Qin Qi stopped and wiped the sweat off his face, "Have you finished talking with Cousin Yuqian?"

"Yes. I asked a few questions and got some answers." Gu Li took the handkerchief from Jiangmi's hand and pulled the little rabbit over to wipe off his sweat.

"What answer?" Qin Qi was curious.

"Let's talk about it when we get back. It's rare to go out of the city today, so I can play with you for a while." Thinking about what Cheng Yan said just now, Gu Li felt that this rabbit should be pampered well and cannot be wronged.

"Okay." Qin Qi was happy.Greeting Sanmi, the five master and servant played a game of tag on the grass.

Qin Qi ran hard, but he couldn't be caught up by sister Li.She ran all the way to the top of a small hill, when suddenly her foot slipped and she fell down.

"Oh!" Qin Qi yelled.In a whirl, he was hugged by someone and jumped back to the hillside again.

"You see how dangerous it is, why are you running so hard?" Gu Li began to scold Qin Qi without letting go of his arms.

Qin Qi lowered his head and buried his face in Gu Li's arms. "I know I'm wrong. But Qiqi doesn't want to be caught by Sister Li, so she has to run quickly."

Gu Li seemed to see the little rabbit's ears drooping. "Are you... called to run quickly?" Gu Li was seriously suspicious.

"I... I... It's not easy for Sister Li to bully Qiqi!" Since you can't say it, then act like a baby.

Gu Li pinched her little nose, took her hand and walked back.

"Sister Li, let's go back to the city for a while and eat steamed buns from Cai's Restaurant, okay?" Qin Qi felt hungry.

"Up to you." Gu Li didn't care much about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and she followed Qin Qi whatever he ate.

Cai's Restaurant in Dongcheng has a small facade, but Qin Qi likes to eat the meat buns here.One bite, the mouth is full of juice, and the mouth is watering just thinking about it.

It was not time for meal when Qin Qi's carriage arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.There were not many people in the restaurant, and there were a few sparse tables.

Gu Li waited for the five masters and servants to go up to the second floor, and sat at a table near the window.Qin Qi ordered two drawers of buns, a few refreshing side dishes, and a pot of tea.Xiao Er wrote it down and went down to get busy.After a while, the tea was brought up first.

Xiaomi poured tea for the two of them.The three people on my side also fell down.It's been the custom for Qin Qi to go out to eat since he was a child, and the servant girl eats at the same table as her.Now that I have Gu Li, I don't care about these things, so every time I go out to eat, the maids don't have to stand and wait, let alone open a separate table.

"Sister Li! Sister Li!" Qin Qi, who had been looking at the street scene outside the window, suddenly took Gu Li's arm and said, "Look at those people."

Gu Li followed her fingers and looked across the street downstairs, but saw several men in foreign costumes shopping.Qin Qi looked at the strange costumes of foreigners, but Gu Li recognized them.This is the costume in the court of Ling Kingdom.The masters who teach etiquette in the academy have taught court costumes in various countries.

"This is from the Ling country." Gu Li said.But why did people from Ling country come to Mingxi?

Jiang Mi is well informed. "My maidservant heard that the envoys of the Ling Kingdom just entered the capital yesterday."

"What are you here for?" Gu Li asked.

"It seems to be a marriage." Jiang Mi said.

"Marriage?" Not only Gu Li and Qin Qi, but also Da Mi Xiaomi asked.

"Should I marry in or marry back?" Rice asked.Marriage is nothing more than two kinds, one is to send your daughter into the palace.One is to marry a noble daughter and return home.

Jiang Mi spread her hands. "How do I know that?"

At this time, Xiaoer who came to serve the food said: "The girls are interested in Ling people. I heard that Ling Guo sent one of their princesses to make a kiss this time. Everyone went to the street to watch and kiss. Princess, how many don't you know?"

It was only then that Qin Qi remembered, no wonder the eldest princess didn't let her go out yesterday, it turned out that she knew there was excitement in the city and was afraid that she would be in danger.

"I really want to see this concubine princess." Qin Qi said.

Xiaoer smiled and said: "This girl is talking about it. Who wouldn't want to see the princess? But yesterday the carriage was tightly covered and drove directly into the post house. No one saw it." After he finished speaking, he went down again busy.

"There will always be a chance." Gu Li didn't have much interest in this.Princesses from all over the world seem to be rich and precious, but in fact, most of them want to marry and get married far away.So she never envied the princess's origin and identity, it was a kind of power, but also a kind of obligation.

Qin Qi was still thinking while holding the meat buns, he was really curious about how he and the princess would look like!

After eating steamed stuffed buns, and then went to the night market to stroll around from beginning to end, Qin Qi went back to the Princess's Mansion contentedly.

After bathing, the two rubbed each other's hair.Qin Qi said: "Sister Li, what did you say to Cousin Yuqian today?"

Gu Li asked without answering: "Do you know that Princess Miao Shuang likes you?"

"Huh?" Qin Qi was stunned.He touched his head and didn't speak for a long time.After a while, she laughed and said, "Sister Li, you're bluffing me again. How could Miao Shuang like me? She pushed me into the water last time, have you forgotten?"

Gu Li recounted what he heard from Cheng Yan about Cheng Yun and Qin Qi playing together when they were young, but Qin Qi seemed to have forgotten it.She thought hard for a long time and seemed to be able to recall a little fragment.

"At that time when Uncle Cheng Ye was imprisoned, Miao Shuang didn't speak at all, and she was very withdrawn. I thought Miao Shuang was so pitiful, so I always took her to play with her. Later, I saw that she was not as withdrawn as before. , and went to play with other sisters without worry. But how could this happen?" Qin Qi couldn't figure it out.

Gu Li understood Cheng Yun's feelings.Although Qin Qi was poisoned by inflammation, he had sunshine in his heart.She treats everyone with the greatest kindness, and her helping Cheng Yun is just a matter of effort.I even forgot after helping, and didn't take it to heart at all.But for Cheng Yun, that was the only hand he reached out to her when she was most lonely and helpless, and it was her only salvation.So she can't live without Qin Qi. In order to keep Qin Qi, she can do many seemingly incomprehensible things.
