General's humble stand-in

The brocade quilt is soft and smooth, rippling under the body like water waves.Tao Zhuo lay on his side, with his cheeks pressed against the jade pillow, the slight coolness dissipated the heat on the surface of his skin.

Barely opening his eyes, he watched the general take off his shoes and socks.With every gesture, he is gentle and elegant.The beautiful jade that seems to be flawless, makes Tao Zhuo love her, and wants to engrave the young master's every move in her mind.

After all, he couldn't withstand the erosion of the fever, Tao Zhuo drooped his eyelids, and fell asleep faintly.

In the middle of the night, I woke up thirsty.

I only heard the rain outside, the ticking of water drops on the eaves and the rustling of rainwater sweeping through the windows, intertwined like music.

Tao Zhuo struggled to open his eyes, only to see Gu Ye sleeping beside the bed.The short distance made Tao Zhuo's heart skip a few beats.

The vision in the room was dim, and his handsome profile could be vaguely seen, every outline seemed to be carefully crafted.Pulling Taozhuo's sight, it freezes.

Like a ghost, Tao Zhuo sneaked closer and left a kiss on Gu Ye's cheek like a superficial kiss.

Then he quickly retracted his body, covered his beating heart, buried his face in the quilt, not daring to breathe.

Everything in the world seems to fall into silence, only the sound of my own heartbeat can be heard.

A moment later, Tao Zhuo poked his head out from under the quilt, staring at Gu Yejiao's beautiful side face with his dark almond eyes, licked his chapped lips, and then quietly moved closer.

With a light kiss, the cool skin is like a sweet spring, making Tao Zhuo sweet all the way to the bottom of my heart.

This kind of intimacy is addictive, Tao Zhuo couldn't bear it and posted it again.When the dry lips were about to touch Gu Ye's cheek, Gu Ye suddenly turned his head, the distance was too close, and the lips of the two almost brushed.

The amber eyes looked at Tao Zhuo without blinking, Tao Zhuo was shocked as if struck by lightning, and his mind went blank for a moment.

"Young Master, Young Master." Tao Zhuo stumbled, eyes full of panic and guilt, "You, what, why did you wake up?"

In the night, Gu Ye's eyes were also dark, like a bottomless deep pool that tightly trapped Tao Zhuo.

"Can't sleep." Gu Ye said.

Tao Zhuo was taken aback, "Didn't you sleep all this time?"

"Well, I haven't slept all the time."

Tao Zhuo was dumbfounded... Then, wouldn't it be that he knew everything.

Flustered, afraid that he would be angry.Afraid, knowing that he didn't like this closeness.With apricot eyes hanging down, Tao Zhuo bit her pale lips, nervously waiting for the general to reprimand or drive him away.

For a long time, no sound was heard.Tao Zhuo plucked up the courage to raise his eyes to look at Gu Ye, only to see that he was still maintaining that posture, his eyes were a little blank.

After a while, Gu Ye asked, "Are you feeling sick again?"

Tao Zhuo replied softly, "A little thirsty."

So Gu Ye got up, poured a cup of tea and came back.Then he lifted Tao Zhuo up, and handed the cup in his hand to Tao Zhuo's lips.

When Gu Ye turned back to put the teacup, Tao Zhuo wrung his face very hard, and he almost oozes tears from the pain.

It's not a dream, but it's even more ethereal and unreal than a dream.

Gu Ye lay back on the bed again, and whispered, "Go to sleep."

Tao Zhuo nodded and closed his eyes.The eyelashes trembled slightly, panic and joy filled every nerve.

Gu Ye opened his eyes when the even breath reached his ears.He turned his head to look at Tao Zhuo, with fear and confusion in his eyes.

She didn't even reject Tao Zhuo's kiss, and she allowed him to dodge it twice.Gu Ye was afraid that he would disappoint Ziyu with the passage of time, but he couldn't bear to abandon the person in front of him any longer.

The next day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared.

When Tao Zhuo woke up, there was no one beside the bed, if it wasn't for the empty teacup on the table, Tao Zhuo could hardly tell whether last night was a dream or a reality.

There was a medicine bowl on the table, still warm, and the bitter taste of the medicine soup was overflowing.Tao Zhuo pinched his nose and drank it in one breath, the bitter taste remained in his mouth, but it was slightly sweet in his heart.

After a spring rain, a few peach blossoms in Tingfang Garden have bloomed.Facing the warm spring breeze, the pink and tender petals are delicate and charming.

Holding the hemp paper for calligraphy practice in his arms, Tao Zhuo stopped outside Tingfang Garden.Xu Shi's name is related to peach blossoms, so all the flowers are blooming in spring, but only the peach blossoms are nostalgic.

Putting the hemp paper lightly on the road stone beside him, Tao Zhuo tiptoed off a peach blossom and wanted to keep it in a bottle in the house.

Suddenly he heard a stern reprimand from behind, "Who is bold? How dare you pick the flowers in Tingfang Garden."

Tao Zhuo turned her head in panic, only to see Princess Pingnan walking with an outstanding woman on her arm.And it was Cai Zhu who scolded Tao Zhuo.

"I thought it was someone who was so unruly. It turned out that you are a lowly person who doesn't know how to be polite." Princess Pingnan raised his eyebrows slightly, and regarded Tao Zhuo as humble as an ant.

Tao Zhuo hastily stepped forward to salute, "Young Madam please be well."

The princess ignored her, but the gorgeously dressed woman beside her looked at Tao Zhuo carefully and asked, "What's your name?"

"Peach burning."

As soon as the words fell, the princess slapped her on the face, and the thin armor ran across her cheek, leaving a small bloodstain.

"Presumptuous, if you don't know the rules on weekdays, I will indulge you. Now that Princess An Ning is so disrespectful, I see you are becoming more and more domineering. Don't think that you can be lawless if the general protects you."

Tao Zhuo doesn't defend himself, it's wrong to say anyway, it's better to kneel down and listen to the scolding, so as not to be beaten.

"It's not been a long time since we came here. Don't you know that Tingfang Garden is a garden bestowed by the royal family? You dare to pick here, are you impatient?"

After saying that, he turned his head and ordered Caizhu, "Take her down and beat her hard until she is killed."

"Wait a minute." Princess Anning at the side suddenly stopped her.

Smilingly, he took Princess Pingnan's hand and persuaded him, "Why hasn't your temper changed at all? It doesn't matter if you kill him. The knot between you and General Gu is getting deeper."

Hearing this, Princess Pingnan showed pain in his eyes, "Anyway, he doesn't like me, who cares whether the knot is dead or alive."

"Speaking of anger again." Princess An Ning sighed, "You and I grew up together, if others don't know me, don't you know? If you can accommodate the second one in your heart, you won't cry all day long."

Speechless, Princess Pingnan held Princess Anning's hand tightly.

Glancing at Taozhuo again, Princess Anning said softly to the Princess, "Follow me."

Leaving aside the maidservant beside them, the two found a secluded place.

"Have you noticed that Taozhuo looks like a person?"

Princess Pingnan was puzzled, "Who?"

"Mo Ziyu." Princess Anning replied seriously.

The princess thought for a while, and then showed a look of sudden realization, "He? There is a little bit of resemblance."

He asked again puzzled, "Why did you mention him for no reason? A son of a criminal."

Princess An Ning looked around, and when she saw that there was no one on the left or right, she leaned over and whispered in the princess's ear.

Princess Pingnan's face became paler, and finally, his feet were weak and he staggered and almost fell.

"No wonder." Princess Pingnan murmured absentmindedly, "He never put me in his eyes, I just thought he was angry and I forced him to get married, it turned out that he had other people in his heart."

"Fortunately, the person is dead, so there is no trouble." Princess Anning said, "It's just that there is such a similar person by the general's side, I'm afraid your life will be difficult after all."

Princess Pingnan grabbed her sleeve, "Sister, you have to help me."

Far away, the two returned side by side.Tao Zhuo was still panicking in his heart, he was careful everywhere in this general's mansion, but he was always unavoidable to avoid disasters.

Stopped in front of Tao Zhuo, only to hear Princess Anning say, "I think you are pitiful, I can't bear my sister to punish you, so you can follow me into the palace to serve you."

Tao Zhuo's heart sank suddenly...
