Beyond Gold and Jade [Rebirth]

An Lingwei is only ten years old this year, and she is a girl who was pampered in her boudoir. First she was frightened, and then she was sprayed with tea all over her face. This kind of grievance, when you flatten your mouth, you burst into tears, that is a miserable situation.

In the quiet courtyard, only the girl's cries could be heard, one over the other, and a few gray sparrows flapped their wings on the old locust tree and fled away.

Ye Chonghui had never seen such a battle before, wiped the tea from the corners of his lips, and looked bewildered.

"Cousin, please don't cry..."

He tried to comfort him, but his tone was still cold when he spoke. When An Lingwei heard it, the crying became louder.

Gu Chen frowned slightly, he was already displeased, An Lingwei's crying made him even more annoyed, he reprimanded in a deep voice: "Shut up for Gu."

The girl stopped crying suddenly, looked up at his cloudy face, paused for a few breaths, and then started crying again, she looked like she had been greatly wronged, and she was willing to cry until she died.

Although Gu Chen was impatient, he also knew that he had made a mistake first, and he couldn't get angry at a little girl, so he had to hold his forehead and endure.

Ye Chongjin covered his mouth and snickered, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has always had a heart higher than the sky, and the innocent Young Master Hengzhi, two future figures of the Daegu Dynasty, are helpless with a little girl at this moment. This scene is really interesting.

Just as he was about to watch the excitement for a while, someone pulled his sleeve lightly, and his brother was giving him a wink.

The child snorted softly, in the end I still want the young master to go out.

He took out a light green brocade handkerchief from his sleeve. Because he didn't like the smell of incense, Madam An usually used mint leaves to infuse it a little. When she smelled it closely, there was a faint fresh grassy smell, which was inexplicably soothing.

An Lingwei sniffed a pleasant scent of mint, shrugged her nose, raised her head, and looked into a pair of black and bright eyes through the tearful eyes, those eyes were as delicate and beautiful as black agate, she Lost in sight, he gradually stopped crying.

A stack of square veils was handed to her. It was a lighter blue color than the green grass in spring, like a misty green bamboo forest, and like a gurgling spring flowing in a mountain stream, full of vitality. Smart and natural, just like the child in front of me.

An Lingwei unconsciously reached out to take it.

The child said: "This is to wipe my cousin's tears. Ah Jin apologizes to you on behalf of my brother. He didn't mean it."

An Lingwei clenched the handkerchief tightly, but was reluctant to wipe her face with it, sobbing, "No, it's okay."

After receiving the stare from Gu Chen, Ye Chongjin said again: "His Royal Highness didn't mean it, and my cousin also forgave him, okay?"

The ten-year-old girl of the official family is different from the girls of ordinary people. Although she is also afraid of big caterpillars, ghosts, and crying because she has been wronged, she has a scale in her heart. She knows who can afford to provoke her. , who can't afford it.

Although the cousins ​​of the Ye family and cousins ​​are of high family status, they are relatives after all. Since they have an aunt who loves her very much, it's okay to play a little bit of their temper.

But if it was the prince in the palace, or even the prince, she would never dare to provoke her.The reason why she dared to cry before was because her father had a low official position and she had never met the prince.

After all, it was the first time seeing such a noble person, An Lingwei was inevitably curious, and peeked at him. Gu Chen noticed her gaze, and she was frightened by just a slight glance, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's okay." Yes, His Royal Highness didn't mean it either, it's because I'm timid myself, no wonder others."

Ye Chongjin secretly thought that the little girl was clever, and smiled at her again. He was born to be good-looking, and with such a sweet smile, like a bright moon shining brightly, all the exotic flowers in the garden lost their color.

An Lingwei's cheeks flushed, there is no one more beautiful than Cousin A Jin in this world.

Gu Chen watched from the side, secretly vigilant.An Lingwei had been interested in Song Li in her previous life, and she has become a cousin in this life. If she fell in love, it would be another trouble.

They have been arguing here for a long time, and they have already alarmed the people outside. Mo Huaixuan led a group of domestic slaves to come, seeing them, it was not too surprising.

After saluting to Gu Chen, he said to Ye Chonghui: "Young master Ye, Lingtang is waiting for you and young master at the side door. I will ask the servants to lead you there."

Ye Chonghui nodded his thanks, and the child beside him asked, "What about my father?"

Mo Huaixuan said: "My father wants to stay until the funeral is over. If the young master is reluctant, he can naturally stay and wait for my brother's funeral."

Ye Chongjin was not afraid of seeing the coffin after the funeral, but...he glanced at Gu Chen, this man rarely came out of the palace, just to see him, so he just left, isn't it not good.But after thinking about it, he is not someone from Gu Chen, so why consider all these things for him.

He shook his head and said, "I'll just go home and wait."

After speaking, he glanced at Gu Chen with a guilty conscience. Unexpectedly, he didn't listen to the movement here at all, his eyes were fixed on An Lingwei, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The child stared, dragged his brother out, and said: " Brother, hurry up, it's not good to keep mother waiting for a long time."

Ye Chonghui only thought that he was afraid, so he hurriedly responded, took his little brother's little hand, and silently quickened his pace.He was also afraid that Gu Chen would recover and continue to entangle.

In the Qinxiang Garden, Mo Huaixuan slightly raised his eyebrows, and said: "Your Highness, if Zifeng remembers well, Imperial Physician Xu said that you are not allowed to go to the ground within ten days. If the empress finds out, I'm afraid she won't let you off easily."

Gu Chen glanced at him, but said nothing.

Mo Huaixuan handed over a handkerchief, "Wipe off the cold sweat on your forehead first, then I will arrange for someone to take you back."

Gu Chen didn't answer, but looked at An Lingwei who was at the side, stretched out his hand, and said, "Ah Jin's handkerchief, give it to Gu."

The girl was taken aback for a moment, then she tightly held the light green brocade handkerchief in her hand, and whispered: "This is given to me by my cousin A Jin."

Gu Chen frowned, and said patiently, "To Gu."

An Lingwei is not someone who easily compromises, but the Crown Prince in front of him is really unusual. His face is pale, and his forehead is covered with fine sweat, as if he will fall down in the next moment, unconscious, but a pair of secluded pools Her eyes were like wolves and tigers, exuding a strong hostility, as if it could tear people apart. It was a power she had never seen before, but subconsciously feared.

An Lingwei was finally scared, and handed the handkerchief to him tremblingly.

Gu Chen pinched the brocade handkerchief in his palm, sniffing the faint scent of grass and trees, as if he came back to life.

Mo Huaixuan raised his hand and said, "Send Miss An to Xinghe Yuan."

Several house slaves stepped forward and took the frightened little girl out, only Mo Huaixuan and Gu Chen were left in the yard.

Mo Huaixuan helped him to sit down, and said: "That day, His Highness had already discovered the trick His Highness King Ming set up, why did he jump into it?"

The eldest prince, Gu Ming, was conferred the title of King Ming by the emperor half a year ago.

Gu Chen adjusted his internal energy and said calmly, "What do you think?"

Sitting opposite him, Mo Huaixuan picked up the purple sand pot placed on the stone table, first poured a cup of herbal tea for Gu Chen, then poured a cup for himself, and took a sip.

"I used to think that His Highness was just playing tricks and wanted to bring down His Highness King Ming with this matter, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that there were many things wrong. First, Your Highness should know the Holy One very well, knowing that he is the most indecisive, even if this matter is taken If he uncovers it, he will only try to cover it up, for the sake of the royal family's face, he will never severely punish His Highness King Ming, this deal is not worthwhile, so His Highness will not do it."

Hearing his evaluation of his father, Gu Chen laughed instead of being annoyed, and said: "What a indecisive man, what he said is right, as long as the orphan is not dead or disabled, he will not be willing to punish anyone. To him, Xiao Wu is his good son. , Gu Xian is his unfulfilling son, Gu Ming is his useful son, and Gu is the prince referred to by the previous emperor, the future monarch, nothing more."

He took a sip of the herbal tea, his face was pale, and he couldn't see any emotion.

Mo Huaixuan then continued: "As for the second thing, a person like His Highness can't do tricks that can hurt someone a thousand times and hurt himself eight hundred times. If you want to deal with King Ming, you must have a way to get out of your body. Put yourself at risk."

Gu Chen raised his lips and said, "You know Gu."

Mo Huaixuan said: "Don't dare, I couldn't figure it out a lot before, but seeing Young Master Ye today, I can figure it all out."

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, but he heard him say: "There is only one person who can make His Highness the Crown Prince willingly suffer the knife, even go to death, and search all over the world."

After a long time, the black-haired boy in black clothes picked up the jade-white porcelain cup, rubbed his fingertips along the mouth of the cup, his expression was extremely gentle, and he sighed softly: "Because there is only one, so we should cherish it all the more."

=========

When Ye Chongjin returned to the mansion, Madam An ordered a few maids to burn wormwood and smoke it on him. The smoke was so lingering that the child could hardly open his eyes.

"Mommy, what are you doing?"

Mother An said: "Little master, did you go to the Duke of Yue's mansion today? The mansion is not very clean. It's better to get rid of bad luck, so as not to get any bad things. It's a pity that you can't find wicker in this kind of day. Let’s use mugwort leaves first, and tomorrow this old slave will go to Jinguang Temple to ask for a peace talisman, and the presiding abbot will chant scriptures and bless it, then it will be appropriate.”

The child didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Our family is full of righteousness, what kind of evil dares to come, isn't it afraid of being saved, Mammy just thinks too much."

"I think too much about being a nanny, and the little master sees that the old slave is getting old, so I can give the old slave peace of mind."

Ye Chongjin had no choice but to nod, and said, "Just this one time, don't do it next time, this grass smells really bad."

Nanny An agreed with a smile, but she thought about being prepared, no matter how upright she is, it will not be as effective as her few wormwood plants.

Xia He took the clothes that the child changed today, walked over, and asked strangely: "Little master, where is the handkerchief you took out today? Why didn't I see it?"

Ye Chongjin didn't care much and said: "Give it to Cousin Lingwei, she cried in the Duke's mansion today, so I wiped her tears with the handkerchief."

Xia He burst out laughing, "Little master, you are only young enough to know how to coax little girls."

"..."

Nanny An walked over and knocked her on the head, and said, "You girl, you dare to insult the little master's ears with any nonsense words. Miss Lingwei is over ten years old, and it's time to talk about marriage in a few years, don't you?" It’s good to use it as a joke, and then talk nonsense, be careful with your tongue.”

Xia He shrank her head and begged for mercy: "Don't dare, don't dare anymore, Mammy, please spare the servant."

She ran out of the room with a smile, but Ye Chongjin frowned. An Lingwei was Gu Chen's concubine in his previous life, no wonder he cared so much about her today.

After all, she is one of the four concubines, although she has never received favor, there should be some affection.

The little white tiger rubbed against the couch and touched Ye Chongjin's bare little feet with his head. Nanny An took care of it every day, so she couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. Seeing this, she smiled and said, "Speaking of which, this little tiger hasn't been named yet. , After thinking about it for a long time, I still haven't made up my mind, so it can be seen that the little master really likes it, so I can't make a decision for a long time."

Ye Chongjin glanced at the little white tiger, and snorted, "Whoever said that, I'll fetch it right now, and call it... just call it a fool, an idiot, or just call it a big silly cat!"

The corners of Nanny An's mouth twitched slightly, this was another stimulus.
