Because the queen was behind her, Gu Mei sent a delicacy to Qinzheng Hall in the name of the queen that afternoon.
And Gu Mei wanted to shine in front of Emperor Guang this time, so naturally she wasn't as perfunctory as the fried pork slices she made in the Queen's Palace.
What she came up with was the most popular barbecue, tested by the picky tongue of the 21st century.
Even in order to improve the barbeque style, what kind of fruit wood charcoal did she want in the dining room, and what kind of best piece of meat from a pig, marinated with a special sauce, dressed with fat and thin, and finally served Put it on the fire and roast it.
However, when Gu Mei made these, the other cooks in the dining room looked a little disapproving, but it was just some wild barbecue, could it compare to the delicacy they carefully selected and cooked?
Before the barbecue was ready, Gu Mei took a handful of seasonings and sprinkled it on top. The strange smell mixed with the smell of meat permeated the whole dining room, making people salivate involuntarily. The oily meat skewers couldn't bear to move away.
"What kind of seasoning does this lady use, and how does it make it so fragrant, the old man's saliva is about to flow down!"
The person who asked the question was the Marquis of Guannei who presented the meal to Emperor Guang that day. Even if he was named a marquis, he was still willing to mix with the cooks in the dining room. He knew how his nominal Marquis came from .
A trace of disdain flashed in Gu Mei's eyes, and she knew that once she came up with this seasoning that was different from this era, no one would bow down to her.
But Gu Mei thought about the oath she made earlier, she will be successful in the future, and she will never be as arrogant and annoying as Princess Qinghe, so she said with a smile: "If you go back to the Marquis of the Pass, my little girl uses her own special secret seasoning. If Guan Nei Hou likes it, I can give some to Guan Nei Hou."
As for what it is, you don't have to ask!
However, Guan Nei Hou was just a commoner at first, and his deepest experience was as a chef cooking for others in the kitchen of a restaurant, and he couldn't hear the faint rejection in Gu Mei's words.
He didn't understand the meaning of Gu Mei's words, so he naturally had to ask again.Seeing this, Gu Mei saw that the meat was roasted and quickly put it into a food box, took a step back, and bowed her knees: "Marquis of Guan Nei, this roast meat should be eaten while it's hot, my little girl will present it to His Majesty. "
After hearing this, the Marquis of Guannei didn't dare to delay. He has his own persistence in food, and he also knows that some food is particular about the short time from cooking to serving. Sometimes it even affects the taste of a dish good or bad.
"Alright, alright, miss, go quickly, and come back another day to discuss the magical effect of this seasoning with the old man!"
Gu Mei nodded in agreement, and rolled her eyes at the sky when she got out of the dining room. This seasoning is her secret weapon of success, how could she share it with others at will? !
Emperor Guang knew the news of Gu Mei's entry into the palace, but he remembered what Lu Niao said before, and wanted to see this little girl with no hair, and wanted to play tricks in front of him, so he dared to count the royal family.
Therefore, with the acquiescence of Emperor Guang, Gu Mei was able to take advantage of the queen's face and enter the Palace of Qinzheng smoothly all the way.
Incense is burning in the hall, the fragrance is light, and it smells extraordinarily elegant.
Emperor Guang had always liked food, was lazy by nature, and was not very diligent about government affairs. He always only read some important events.
At this moment, after Guangdi completed his day's tasks, he held the travel notes, ate small snacks, and waited for today's meal.
And Gu Mei came at this time, Emperor Guang looked at the big lunch box in her hand, and after Gu Mei knelt down to salute with difficulty, Emperor Guang mercifully let her get up.
This emperor is really good at tossing people, she is about to stand up before she kneels firmly, this meal box is extremely heavy, she will be exhausted to death!
As soon as Gu Mei knelt down and wanted to get up again, she still had to maintain her demeanor, not daring to do anything wrong, so she could only curse secretly in her heart, but she didn't dare to show the slightest thing on her face, and she even wanted to do something wrong. A look of gratitude.
"The servant girl is ordered by the empress to present a meal for His Majesty."
Emperor Guang nodded, and Gu Mei was about to step forward and put down the lunch box in her hand, when the emperor suddenly said, "Your surname is Gu?"
Gu Mei was carrying the heavy lunch box, but she didn't dare not answer Emperor Guang's words: "Returning to Your Majesty, the maid's surname is Gu, and her single name is the word Mei, and she is the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei."
When Gu Mei said this, her tone was softer than usual, and even when she bowed her head to salute, she bent her fair neck into a beautiful arc, revealing what she thought was the most beautiful side face.
They don't know what kind of tricks Guangdi has never seen in the harem for a long time, and it's really funny that she, a little girl who hasn't reached the age of hair, makes such an appearance.
Emperor Guang turned his head to the side with some hot eyes:
"Even so, do you know what good deeds did your biological mother do? A mere concubine dared to carry the imperial gift with her, and even sold it. But she can be forgiven for this crime, living crime is inevitable, I have already ordered her to be punished a hundred times, and she is resigned to fate, what do you think?"
Emperor Guang's words were about the follow-up treatment of Du Shi, and Gu Mei knew nothing about it. Hearing this, Gu Mei almost couldn't lift the lunch box in Gu Mei's hand.
But she raised her eyes to meet the sharp eyes of Emperor Shangguang, she still stabilized her mind, knelt down, and said with trembling lips: "I know that my aunt's sins are serious, and your majesty is kind enough to act on my behalf. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
But what Gu Mei didn't know was that her seemingly ingenious handling was already very thoughtful at her age.
"Tsk, you are loyal to me."
"Loyalty and filial piety have been difficult since ancient times. Since my aunt has done something wrong, the minister will only be grateful to His Majesty. Now, please have a taste of it. How about the barbecue that the minister specially prepared for His Majesty?"
Emperor Guang looked at a little girl who was not yet of the age of Ji, who was so eloquent, cruel and sweet, and felt a chill in his heart, so he wanted to wave her away.
"Forget it, this doesn't embarrass you, a weak woman, you step back..."
At this time, Gu Mei had already opened the lid of the meal box, and she knelt down upright, raising the plate in her hand, and an overbearing and strange fragrance instantly permeated the entire palace.
"Wait, this smell, is this barbecue?"
It's not that Guangdi has never eaten barbecue, he is a foodie among foodies. In the past, when he hunted in autumn, he did not eat less of these things, especially the prey he hunted now. human aroma.
This fragrance is so mouth-watering, it seems that just a slight sniff will whet the appetite. Emperor Guang looked at Eunuch Zhang who was waiting on the side.
After receiving the signal, Eunuch Zhang walked over and brought a plate from Gu Mei's hand. For the sake of convenience and manners, all the barbecued meat had been picked out.
Eunuch Zhang put the barbecue on the table, looked at the unremarkable piece of meat, and shook his head in his heart.
Afterwards, he picked up the chopsticks at the side and put them into his mouth to chew. At this moment, because of the heat preservation of the meal box, the barbecue is still hot. When he bites lightly, the fat splashes in his mouth and mixes with the strange seasoning. Such harmony is so delicious, people can't help but twitch their index fingers after eating it, and they can't stop.
Eunuch Zhang stood there for a while with recollection, and then nodded to Emperor Guang.
Emperor Guang couldn't help it because of the fragrance. Seeing that Eunuch Zhang nodded, he picked up the chopsticks and hurriedly took a piece into his mouth. No matter how it looked, the emperor believed the fragrance alone. Definitely a delicacy.
It didn't take a while for Emperor Guang to eat up the whole plate full of meat. At this time, Eunuch Zhang brought a cup of hot tea with a wink. Emperor Guang drank the tea comfortably and looked at the Gu Mei, who was kneeling on the ground, said slowly: "Not bad, thank you! This is much more delicious than the dish made by old man Liu!"
The old man Liu that Emperor Guang said was the Marquis of Guannei in today's dining room. When Gu Mei heard such praise from Emperor Guang, she was overjoyed.
Previously, the Marquis of Guannei could get a reward from Emperor Guang as a Marquis because of this, so could he get a village lord or even a county lord?
Thinking of this, Gu Mei excitedly clenched her hands in her sleeves into fists, raised her eyes, held her breath, and quietly waited for Guangdi's next words.
And at this moment, Emperor Guang turned his head to look at Eunuch Zhang again, and asked as if thinking of something: "Zhang Debao, today I asked you to see how Qinghe is, but did you get angry at the Zhenbeihoufu? "
After listening to Emperor Guang's question, Eunuch Zhang quickly replied:
"Responding to His Majesty, the slave seems to be a little angry when seeing His Highness, and vaguely said that he will go to Zhuangzi to relax in the past two days..."
Eunuch Zhang’s words made Emperor Guang stop drinking tea. Looking at the empty plate on the table, he shook his head and sighed: “It’s a pity, it’s a pity that Qinghe can’t enjoy this delicacy with me. Without Qinghe’s company, I always feel that I’m missing something."
At this time, Emperor Guang remembered that Gu Mei was still kneeling on the ground, and said with a lack of interest: "Since Qinghe is not in the residence of the Beihou Mansion because of you, I don't think this delicacy is very good, so I will reward you with a face. I heard that your biological mother likes to give you the dowry of the dead, so it must be missing."
Emperor Guang's words almost made Eunuch Zhang who was standing beside him laugh out loud.
At this moment, Gu Mei only felt that cold water was pouring down her face:
"Your Majesty, I, I..."
After listening to Emperor Guang's words, Eunuch Zhang knew how to deal with the concubine who was waiting in the north of the town.
"Presumptuous! Where do you come from, Your Majesty? Someone! Why don't you take this concubine from the north of the town away?!
Your Majesty just had dinner, how about going to the Imperial Garden to refresh yourself? "
Emperor Guang nodded dispensably, and waited for Gu Mei to go far away before asking Eunuch Zhang again: "Is Qinghe really going to Zhuangzi? The conditions for going to Zhuangzi are not good, how did she suffer so much when she was young? "
Eunuch Zhang followed behind Emperor Guang, bowed slightly, and said:
"How dare this servant pass on His Highness's words. His Highness said that there are a lot of bad things in Beijing, which is not very interesting. It just so happens that a good friend wants to accompany him and go to the hot spring village that His Majesty will reward next year."
"Hey, that's all, the child has grown up and has his own ideas, and he doesn't want to accompany this old man like me anymore."
Eunuch Zhang twitched his lips, thinking of so many princes and princesses in the harem, he suggested in a low voice: "Then you can summon the third princess and the fifth prince, the two highnesses are about the same age as Princess Qinghe, I think your majesty can... "
"I get annoyed when I see them, all of them don't even see their shadows except asking for this and that in front of me.
Everyone envied Qinghe's honor and favor here, but they never thought about it, where did Qinghe's honor and favor come from? Do they have Qinghe's perseverance?
It's fine if you just don't have perseverance, but every single one of them can't be saved, I'm ashamed to say that this is the prince and princess of Da Yu! "
"Your highness is still young..."
"Hmph! When Qinghe wanted to get out of the predicament and soak herself in the dining room to taste all the flavors by herself, she was not yet young at that time!
However, Qinghe's temperament is too strong. If the current princes succeed to the throne, I'm afraid it will make things difficult for her. You and I are still young. When the time comes, I will give birth to a baby and let Qinghe take care of her. When I die, there will be someone who can take care of her... ..."
Hearing Emperor Guang's murmur, Eunuch Zhang lowered his head even more. Obviously, he knew the position of Princess Qinghe in Emperor Guang's heart. He mentioned those few people earlier just to make His Majesty feel more at ease, but he didn't expect that ...Your Majesty looks down on them so much.
Gu Mei got kicked out after getting a good reputation, and she didn't get a good face from the queen, so she returned home full of humiliation.
On the other hand, Gu Yan doesn't care about what's happening outside. These days, he either uses the beautifying prescriptions that Lu Niaoyou specially asked for to soak in medicinal baths, smear ointments, or practice calligraphy.
What Gu Yan likes most is when he practices calligraphy every day. At that time, he is the closest to His Highness, and His Highness will write out the characters to be learned every day one by one, and ask her to follow the strokes.
He will patiently teach her how to read and what it means, and even teach her how to write when she can't write.
The tenderness and tenderness at that moment made Gu Yan wish that time would stay at this moment forever.
And this kind of time is like a sharp arrow, and it flies by in a blink.
Counting it, Gu Yan has already stayed in the Princess Mansion for five days. On the morning of the sixth day, as soon as Gu Yan got up, the maid came over with a smile while she was eating, and said, "Today His Highness will take us to Zhuangzi to stay for a few days. Seeing that there is something to bring, the lady ordered the servant, and the servant will prepare it for you."
Gu Yan was a little dazed, but when he thought of what Lu Niaoyou said to Eunuch Zhang earlier, he was a little dazed.
It's just that she only lives in the princess mansion, and she doesn't have any personal things.
"Here, look at the arrangement. I don't have anything to bring."
"The servant will take care of your luggage for you compared to His Highness."
Gu Yan nodded, and when it was almost noon, Lu Niaoyao was finally about to come down, packed up her things, and the two of them staggered towards Zhuangzi in the carriage.
Because Lu Nianiao arranged light carriages for easy travel, only three carriages were prepared, one for the maid, one for the luggage, and the remaining one for the two of them.
Sitting in the familiar carriage and feeling the soft cushions, Gu Yan felt that she was so happy these days as if she was living in a fairyland, she looked at Lu Youyou with her chin on her hands, and asked with a smile: "Why did your Highness leave so late today? "
Feeling the bumps of the carriage, Lu Niaoyou was in pain, and this question with Gu Yan just diverted Lu Niaoyou's attention: "Why do you ask such a question? Let's, this is just a casual conversation." Travel!"
Gu Yan listened to Lu Langyou's joking words, and smiled softly:
"After getting along with His Highness these days, I only think that His Highness must be a person who will only act when everything is prepared, so... I think it's wrong."
Lu Youyou just felt that his body was going to fall apart, and his ass was not his own: "How can everything be in order? In the past, when Mr. Kong Ming led troops to fight, everything was ready, and the only thing I owe is Dongfeng... As for me——"
Lu Niaoling paused for a moment, looked at the rickety carriage, and sighed quietly: "I just want to take the bumps later."
When Gu Yan heard what Lu Niao said, she felt amused, it turns out that His Highness is also such a delicate daughter.
In the past, His Highness appeared as a protector to save himself from fire and water, but he never thought that His Highness would also have a headache.
Gu Yan sniggered in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. He just looked at how uncomfortable Lu Niaoliu was, and suggested in a low voice: "If Your Highness is really uncomfortable, you might as well put your head on my leg and take a nap for a while."
In the past, if the ladies in Beijing had a good relationship, they would do the same when they were tired when they went out together on the road, and this was always a reminder between the most intimate handkerchiefs, and she had only listened to it in the teahouse before.
So when Gu Yan talked about this suggestion, his ears couldn't help turning red, and his heart felt a little uneasy. If His Highness rejects him, how will he deal with himself?
Sure enough, after hearing what Gu Yan said, Lu Niaoyou frowned: "Pillow on your lap, even if your small body is full of bones, wouldn't that mean you're going to die?"
Lu Niao said with some disgust, she herself couldn't bear the pain of the bumps, let alone Gu Yan?
But Gu Yan didn't know the meaning of Lu Niaoyou's words. Hearing what she said, Gu Yan immediately pulled Lu Niaoyou's sleeve and shook it: "Your Highness, believe me, I, I'm not sick, it's very comfortable to sleep on, Your Highness, try it. Try it..."
Being pulled by Gu Yan, Lu Niaoyao was about to refuse with a headache, but she didn't want the carriage to crash on a big stone, which directly made Lu Niaoyao fall down.
"Well, you look thin, and your legs are still soft on the pillow..."
Those slender legs, the thighs are relatively plump, were hidden under the skirt in the past, but they were not visible, but now they are pillowed on them, as if they are pillowed on clouds, they are so soft and unbelievably soft.
Lu Youyou was reluctant to leave after only a while, and then she stood up and said, "The carriage is bumpy, and you are not in good health. If I sleep on it again, your legs will be so weak that you will not be able to walk on the Zhuangzi." , be obedient, sit down..."
Lu Niao was just saying this, but she didn't want to be bumped onto Gu Yan's lap again, which made Lu Niao blush in embarrassment: "Ada! What are you doing?! How are you driving the carriage?!"
Ah Da's helpless voice came from outside:
"Your Highness is not a slave who is not dedicated, but the road out of the city to Zhuangzi is a bit bumpy. Please be patient, Your Highness."
Lu Niaoyou thumped the cushion below in resentment:
"It seems that I must develop the cement as soon as possible, so as not to be punished!"
Gu Yan doesn't know what cement Lu Niaomiao is talking about. Is cement mud made of water?Clay is a mixture of water and soil.
Although she was puzzled, it didn't prevent her from gently pressing Lu Niaoyou's shoulder that was about to get up: "Your Highness is delicate and fleshy, it seems that God wants His Highness to rest on my leg, Your Highness, please don't push me away." Your Highness has done enough for me these days, and I also want to do something for His Highness."
Being pressed by Gu Yan, Lu Niao felt that the pair of jade legs were really comfortable as a pillow. She didn't want to get up, so she had to lie down, but even so, she still held Gu Yan's hand and said in a low voice: "Just now Be brave, if you don't have the strength to enter Zhuangzi in a while, I'll see what you will do!"
Gu Yan smiled:
"Your Highness."
Lu Yanyou pursed her lips and snorted:
"It seems that you have this idea! If you can't walk in a while, I won't hold you in!"
Gu Yan felt that her cheeks were hot and red when she said that. She didn't mean that, but she just thought that His Highness has always arranged everything properly. of.
It was really comfortable for Lu Niao to sleep on Gu Yan's lap, and the rickety carriage soon made Lu Niao fall asleep.
This sleep, I slept outside Zhuangzi.
Gu Yan heard Ah Da yelling to stop the carriage, and asked in a low voice:
"Brother, have you arrived at Zhuangzi?"
Hearing Gu Yan's lowered voice, Ah Da couldn't help but let it go: "Miss Gu, it's already here, Your Highness is still asleep?"
Gu Yan let out a "huh":
"It's okay, let His Highness sleep for a while, it's rare for His Highness to sleep so soundly."
"Can……"
Ah Da was about to say something more when he saw Princess Guyan get off the carriage holding Lu Niaomiao, her movements were as light as a civet cat, for fear of waking up the person in her arms.
Ah Da: ...
I hope His Highness won't ask her how she got in when she wakes up, otherwise, I'm afraid His Highness's reputation will be ruined!
This Miss Gu is also amazing. When I saw her for the first time, she couldn't even climb a carriage. Why is it that hugging His Highness is like hugging a big cat...
Ah Da was speechless in the back, and Gu Yan hugged Lu Niaoliu effortlessly. Along the way, Gu Yan didn't feel any discomfort in her legs. Looking at the girl in her arms, she felt a sense of strength in her heart.
Work hard for Your Highness!
So, Gu Yan, bathed in the attention of all the servants in Zhuangzi, hugged Lu Niaoyiao and under the guidance of Mulian, entered the courtyard that had been prepared for Lu Niaoyao long ago.
Mu Lian looked at His Highness who was being hugged by Gu Yan, and then at Gu Yan's body that hadn't smoked yet, and twitched the corners of her mouth.
Although this Miss Gu has already passed her age, her stature still makes her look like a little girl, but she never thought that one day the little girl would hug her highness, blushing and breathing... Oh my god, What kind of world is this? !
I hope His Highness won't remember this when he wakes up, otherwise...
Gu Yan put Lu Niaoyou on the bed, and felt some soreness when his arms relaxed.
After all, no matter how skinny Lu Niao is, with her complicated clothes and jewelry, she still loses 100 catties...
Mulian hurriedly took Gu Yan out:
"Miss Gu is tired, this servant will take you to the yard and ask someone to massage you."
"It's okay, His Highness seldom sleeps well, don't let anyone wake her up."
The lowered voices of the two gradually faded away, and at this moment, Lu Youyou, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes. She didn't fall asleep completely. She was carried halfway by Gu Yan, and she woke up in a daze. ,only……
Heaven, earth, why did she forget that what she was going to protect this time was a soft girl with strange powers, and if she hugged her all the way, what was her famous name? !
Lu Niaoyou pulled the quilt to cover her face in a heartless way.
And Gu Mei wanted to shine in front of Emperor Guang this time, so naturally she wasn't as perfunctory as the fried pork slices she made in the Queen's Palace.
What she came up with was the most popular barbecue, tested by the picky tongue of the 21st century.
Even in order to improve the barbeque style, what kind of fruit wood charcoal did she want in the dining room, and what kind of best piece of meat from a pig, marinated with a special sauce, dressed with fat and thin, and finally served Put it on the fire and roast it.

As for what it is, you don't have to ask!
However, Guan Nei Hou was just a commoner at first, and his deepest experience was as a chef cooking for others in the kitchen of a restaurant, and he couldn't hear the faint rejection in Gu Mei's words.
He didn't understand the meaning of Gu Mei's words, so he naturally had to ask again.Seeing this, Gu Mei saw that the meat was roasted and quickly put it into a food box, took a step back, and bowed her knees: "Marquis of Guan Nei, this roast meat should be eaten while it's hot, my little girl will present it to His Majesty. "
After hearing this, the Marquis of Guannei didn't dare to delay. He has his own persistence in food, and he also knows that some food is particular about the short time from cooking to serving. Sometimes it even affects the taste of a dish good or bad.
"Alright, alright, miss, go quickly, and come back another day to discuss the magical effect of this seasoning with the old man!"
Gu Mei nodded in agreement, and rolled her eyes at the sky when she got out of the dining room. This seasoning is her secret weapon of success, how could she share it with others at will? !

At this moment, Gu Mei only felt that cold water was pouring down her face:
"Your Majesty, I, I..."
After listening to Emperor Guang's words, Eunuch Zhang knew how to deal with the concubine who was waiting in the north of the town.
"Presumptuous! Where do you come from, Your Majesty? Someone! Why don't you take this concubine from the north of the town away?!
Your Majesty just had dinner, how about going to the Imperial Garden to refresh yourself? "
Emperor Guang nodded dispensably, and waited for Gu Mei to go far away before asking Eunuch Zhang again: "Is Qinghe really going to Zhuangzi? The conditions for going to Zhuangzi are not good, how did she suffer so much when she was young? "
Eunuch Zhang followed behind Emperor Guang, bowed slightly, and said:
"How dare this servant pass on His Highness's words. His Highness said that there are a lot of bad things in Beijing, which is not very interesting. It just so happens that a good friend wants to accompany him and go to the hot spring village that His Majesty will reward next year."
"Hey, that's all, the child has grown up and has his own ideas, and he doesn't want to accompany this old man like me anymore."
Eunuch Zhang twitched his lips, thinking of so many princes and princesses in the harem, he suggested in a low voice: "Then you can summon the third princess and the fifth prince, the two highnesses are about the same age as Princess Qinghe, I think your majesty can... "
"I get annoyed when I see them, all of them don't even see their shadows except asking for this and that in front of me.
Everyone envied Qinghe's honor and favor here, but they never thought about it, where did Qinghe's honor and favor come from? Do they have Qinghe's perseverance?
It's fine if you just don't have perseverance, but every single one of them can't be saved, I'm ashamed to say that this is the prince and princess of Da Yu! "
"Your highness is still young..."
"Hmph! When Qinghe wanted to get out of the predicament and soak herself in the dining room to taste all the flavors by herself, she was not yet young at that time!
However, Qinghe's temperament is too strong. If the current princes succeed to the throne, I'm afraid it will make things difficult for her. You and I are still young. When the time comes, I will give birth to a baby and let Qinghe take care of her. When I die, there will be someone who can take care of her... ..."
Hearing Emperor Guang's murmur, Eunuch Zhang lowered his head even more. Obviously, he knew the position of Princess Qinghe in Emperor Guang's heart. He mentioned those few people earlier just to make His Majesty feel more at ease, but he didn't expect that ...Your Majesty looks down on them so much.
Gu Mei got kicked out after getting a good reputation, and she didn't get a good face from the queen, so she returned home full of humiliation.
On the other hand, Gu Yan doesn't care about what's happening outside. These days, he either uses the beautifying prescriptions that Lu Niaoyou specially asked for to soak in medicinal baths, smear ointments, or practice calligraphy.
What Gu Yan likes most is when he practices calligraphy every day. At that time, he is the closest to His Highness, and His Highness will write out the characters to be learned every day one by one, and ask her to follow the strokes.
He will patiently teach her how to read and what it means, and even teach her how to write when she can't write.
The tenderness and tenderness at that moment made Gu Yan wish that time would stay at this moment forever.
And this kind of time is like a sharp arrow, and it flies by in a blink.
Counting it, Gu Yan has already stayed in the Princess Mansion for five days. On the morning of the sixth day, as soon as Gu Yan got up, the maid came over with a smile while she was eating, and said, "Today His Highness will take us to Zhuangzi to stay for a few days. Seeing that there is something to bring, the lady ordered the servant, and the servant will prepare it for you."
Gu Yan was a little dazed, but when he thought of what Lu Niaoyou said to Eunuch Zhang earlier, he was a little dazed.
It's just that she only lives in the princess mansion, and she doesn't have any personal things.
"Here, look at the arrangement. I don't have anything to bring."
"The servant will take care of your luggage for you compared to His Highness."
Gu Yan nodded, and when it was almost noon, Lu Niaoyao was finally about to come down, packed up her things, and the two of them staggered towards Zhuangzi in the carriage.
Because Lu Nianiao arranged light carriages for easy travel, only three carriages were prepared, one for the maid, one for the luggage, and the remaining one for the two of them.
Sitting in the familiar carriage and feeling the soft cushions, Gu Yan felt that she was so happy these days as if she was living in a fairyland, she looked at Lu Youyou with her chin on her hands, and asked with a smile: "Why did your Highness leave so late today? "
Feeling the bumps of the carriage, Lu Niaoyou was in pain, and this question with Gu Yan just diverted Lu Niaoyou's attention: "Why do you ask such a question? Let's, this is just a casual conversation." Travel!"
Gu Yan listened to Lu Langyou's joking words, and smiled softly:
"After getting along with His Highness these days, I only think that His Highness must be a person who will only act when everything is prepared, so... I think it's wrong."
Lu Youyou just felt that his body was going to fall apart, and his ass was not his own: "How can everything be in order? In the past, when Mr. Kong Ming led troops to fight, everything was ready, and the only thing I owe is Dongfeng... As for me——"
Lu Niaoling paused for a moment, looked at the rickety carriage, and sighed quietly: "I just want to take the bumps later."
When Gu Yan heard what Lu Niao said, she felt amused, it turns out that His Highness is also such a delicate daughter.
In the past, His Highness appeared as a protector to save himself from fire and water, but he never thought that His Highness would also have a headache.
Gu Yan sniggered in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. He just looked at how uncomfortable Lu Niaoliu was, and suggested in a low voice: "If Your Highness is really uncomfortable, you might as well put your head on my leg and take a nap for a while."
In the past, if the ladies in Beijing had a good relationship, they would do the same when they were tired when they went out together on the road, and this was always a reminder between the most intimate handkerchiefs, and she had only listened to it in the teahouse before.
So when Gu Yan talked about this suggestion, his ears couldn't help turning red, and his heart felt a little uneasy. If His Highness rejects him, how will he deal with himself?
Sure enough, after hearing what Gu Yan said, Lu Niaoyou frowned: "Pillow on your lap, even if your small body is full of bones, wouldn't that mean you're going to die?"
Lu Niao said with some disgust, she herself couldn't bear the pain of the bumps, let alone Gu Yan?
But Gu Yan didn't know the meaning of Lu Niaoyou's words. Hearing what she said, Gu Yan immediately pulled Lu Niaoyou's sleeve and shook it: "Your Highness, believe me, I, I'm not sick, it's very comfortable to sleep on, Your Highness, try it. Try it..."
Being pulled by Gu Yan, Lu Niaoyao was about to refuse with a headache, but she didn't want the carriage to crash on a big stone, which directly made Lu Niaoyao fall down.
"Well, you look thin, and your legs are still soft on the pillow..."
Those slender legs, the thighs are relatively plump, were hidden under the skirt in the past, but they were not visible, but now they are pillowed on them, as if they are pillowed on clouds, they are so soft and unbelievably soft.
Lu Youyou was reluctant to leave after only a while, and then she stood up and said, "The carriage is bumpy, and you are not in good health. If I sleep on it again, your legs will be so weak that you will not be able to walk on the Zhuangzi." , be obedient, sit down..."
Lu Niao was just saying this, but she didn't want to be bumped onto Gu Yan's lap again, which made Lu Niao blush in embarrassment: "Ada! What are you doing?! How are you driving the carriage?!"
Ah Da's helpless voice came from outside:
"Your Highness is not a slave who is not dedicated, but the road out of the city to Zhuangzi is a bit bumpy. Please be patient, Your Highness."
Lu Niaoyou thumped the cushion below in resentment:
"It seems that I must develop the cement as soon as possible, so as not to be punished!"
Gu Yan doesn't know what cement Lu Niaomiao is talking about. Is cement mud made of water?Clay is a mixture of water and soil.
Although she was puzzled, it didn't prevent her from gently pressing Lu Niaoyou's shoulder that was about to get up: "Your Highness is delicate and fleshy, it seems that God wants His Highness to rest on my leg, Your Highness, please don't push me away." Your Highness has done enough for me these days, and I also want to do something for His Highness."
Being pressed by Gu Yan, Lu Niao felt that the pair of jade legs were really comfortable as a pillow. She didn't want to get up, so she had to lie down, but even so, she still held Gu Yan's hand and said in a low voice: "Just now Be brave, if you don't have the strength to enter Zhuangzi in a while, I'll see what you will do!"
Gu Yan smiled:
"Your Highness."
Lu Yanyou pursed her lips and snorted:
"It seems that you have this idea! If you can't walk in a while, I won't hold you in!"
Gu Yan felt that her cheeks were hot and red when she said that. She didn't mean that, but she just thought that His Highness has always arranged everything properly. of.
It was really comfortable for Lu Niao to sleep on Gu Yan's lap, and the rickety carriage soon made Lu Niao fall asleep.
This sleep, I slept outside Zhuangzi.
Gu Yan heard Ah Da yelling to stop the carriage, and asked in a low voice:
"Brother, have you arrived at Zhuangzi?"
Hearing Gu Yan's lowered voice, Ah Da couldn't help but let it go: "Miss Gu, it's already here, Your Highness is still asleep?"
Gu Yan let out a "huh":
"It's okay, let His Highness sleep for a while, it's rare for His Highness to sleep so soundly."
"Can……"
Ah Da was about to say something more when he saw Princess Guyan get off the carriage holding Lu Niaomiao, her movements were as light as a civet cat, for fear of waking up the person in her arms.
Ah Da: ...
I hope His Highness won't ask her how she got in when she wakes up, otherwise, I'm afraid His Highness's reputation will be ruined!
This Miss Gu is also amazing. When I saw her for the first time, she couldn't even climb a carriage. Why is it that hugging His Highness is like hugging a big cat...
Ah Da was speechless in the back, and Gu Yan hugged Lu Niaoliu effortlessly. Along the way, Gu Yan didn't feel any discomfort in her legs. Looking at the girl in her arms, she felt a sense of strength in her heart.
Work hard for Your Highness!
So, Gu Yan, bathed in the attention of all the servants in Zhuangzi, hugged Lu Niaoyiao and under the guidance of Mulian, entered the courtyard that had been prepared for Lu Niaoyao long ago.
Mu Lian looked at His Highness who was being hugged by Gu Yan, and then at Gu Yan's body that hadn't smoked yet, and twitched the corners of her mouth.
Although this Miss Gu has already passed her age, her stature still makes her look like a little girl, but she never thought that one day the little girl would hug her highness, blushing and breathing... Oh my god, What kind of world is this? !
I hope His Highness won't remember this when he wakes up, otherwise...
Gu Yan put Lu Niaoyou on the bed, and felt some soreness when his arms relaxed.
After all, no matter how skinny Lu Niao is, with her complicated clothes and jewelry, she still loses 100 catties...
Mulian hurriedly took Gu Yan out:
"Miss Gu is tired, this servant will take you to the yard and ask someone to massage you."
"It's okay, His Highness seldom sleeps well, don't let anyone wake her up."
The lowered voices of the two gradually faded away, and at this moment, Lu Youyou, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes. She didn't fall asleep completely. She was carried halfway by Gu Yan, and she woke up in a daze. ,only……
Heaven, earth, why did she forget that what she was going to protect this time was a soft girl with strange powers, and if she hugged her all the way, what was her famous name? !
Lu Niaoyou pulled the quilt to cover her face in a heartless way.
