I heard you want to let me down

Gu Nian's voice fell, and the courtyard was silent.

After being quiet for a while, Rong Jin smiled nonchalantly: "If you follow me there, will you be able to hunt or farm?"

Gu Nian said seriously: "I can carry water, light a fire, carve things, and play the piano for you. As long as I can do it, I'm willing to do it for you."

There were still some red marks in the corners of Gu Nian's eyes, but the black and white stubbornness could already be seen in the eyes.

Because of his status, Rong Jin has met many people in the palace in this life.The most nonchalant person he has ever seen is the Seventh Princess.Her mother's family is powerful, she was born to be extremely favored by the emperor, and her temperament is gentle, charming and generous, she has never had any troubles, and she has no ambition to compete.But even so, in the eyes of the Seventh Princess, and in the smile she often carries, there is also a meaning that belongs to the palace.Rong Jin has always felt that it is the instinct of everyone in the palace to hide all the ups and downs and show a neat and calm and nonchalant attitude.

But Gu Nian is not like this, or in other words, he is not like this in front of Rong Jin.Sometimes Rong Jin even felt that Gu Nian really didn't look like someone who grew up in the palace at all.When they were together, Gu Nian seemed to be looking at him like this all the time, as long as he turned his head, Gu Nian's eyes would always clearly reflect his appearance, with undisguised tenderness and affection.It was as if he could take anything he wanted from this man.

Rong Jin suddenly avoided Gu Nian's sight, thinking: What a mess.

In this encounter, apart from the dazed stretching out of his hand at the beginning, Rong Jin always seemed to be the one who had the upper hand.Gu Nian was at a loss and even cried, but he was always calm and indifferent.Only he himself knew that at the end, he really gritted his teeth and relied on the last bit of reason and persistence in his heart to survive.

Rong Jin went back to his own room, spread out on the bed, covered his face with the quilt upset.He comforted himself, how could it be possible, let alone whether Gu Nian would be a good emperor, and went to Changyan Gorge with him, and he didn't believe the first half of the sentence.Gu Nian, an emperor who just took office, is probably too busy to touch the ground every day. It is not easy to come and see him now. How can he keep looking at him when he is free?

But when it was dinner time, Rong Jin came out of the room and found that Gu Nian really hadn't left yet.He asked someone to move a table to the small pavilion opposite Rong Jin's room, and there was a thick stack of memorials on the table.Gu Nian was sitting on the table reading the excerpts, facing Rong Jin's room, and he could see the door when he raised his eyes.

Rong Jin ate alone in the room and didn't go out.When I was about to fall asleep, I heard a knock on the door.He opened the door and saw Gu Nian standing outside the door.

Gu Nian was wearing an old homely gown with the crown removed, her long hair tied up with a hairpin, and she hugged a mattress.Not like an emperor, but like a poor scholar shut out by his wife.Seeing the door opened, he raised his eyes and said softly: "Can I sleep on the couch outside your room?"

Subconsciously, Rong Jin wanted to bluntly refuse, but Gu Nian lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on his face, and he carefully observed his expression, seeming very disturbed.Rong Jin's heart softened: "I won't run away."

Gu Nian didn't speak or move, like a tree, as long as Rong Jin didn't agree, he planned to stand here for eternity.

Rong Jin thought to himself, very good, it seems that he lied to Gu Nian once three years ago, and his reputation with Gu Nian has been completely bankrupt.And three years later, as expected of a person who has gone through a brutal struggle and finally became the emperor, it is getting more and more difficult to deal with.Obviously, it was very easy to deceive before, very easy to coax.

Rong Jin turned sideways angrily, and let Gu Nian in: "Your Majesty, you don't want to be an emperor, are you planning to change your career to become a jailer?"

Gu Nian went in with the quilt in her arms, put the quilt on the couch outside, and made the bed for herself in silence.

Seeing Gu Nian so resigned, Rong Jin couldn't help but feel a little pain in his conscience.He leaned against the screen to watch Gu Nian make the bed, and secretly sighed.

He clearly made up his mind to treat Gu Nian as a powerful emperor of another country.But reflecting on his relationship with Gu Nian today, it is obviously not the same thing.It's not the same after all.He used to always feel that people who talk about their sincerity and temperament with the emperor in Gongdou dramas are stupid, but it really falls on him, how can it be so easy?

Could it be that he would let other emperors come to sleep in the small couch outside his room?Rong Jin thought bitterly, of course, other emperors would not want to come.

That couch is not for sleeping people, on weekdays there is a small low table in the middle, just for two people to sit and drink tea or play chess.Gu Nian is not tall, it is a bit small where he sleeps.Rong Jin is a little shorter than Gu Nian, but he knows that if he proposes to sleep on the small couch by himself, Gu Nian will never agree.

But sleeping in a bed is too ambiguous.

The two didn't talk much, they turned off the lights and went back to their respective quilts.After the lanterns were blown out, dark night fell.After all, Rong Jin drove for half a day during the day, and saw Gu Nian again during the other half of the day, and his mind was ups and downs.He was really tired, lying on the comfortable quilt, and soon fell asleep.

Rong Jin woke up in a daze when he was half asleep. He felt a little thirsty and decided to find water to drink.As a result, he just got up and put on his shoes when Gu Nian's voice came from outside: "A Jin, what's wrong?"

Rong Jin was very dizzy when he just woke up, he sat on the edge of the bed and said vaguely: "It's okay, drink some water."

Footsteps sounded from the outside, and after a while, a faint light came through from the outside.Gu Nian walked in, holding a cup of tea, and handed it to Rong Jin's mouth.Rong Jin took a few sips of Gu Nian's hand.

The cool tea dispelled the drowsiness in his mind, Rong Jin woke up completely, and the first sentence was: "Are you asleep?"

Gu Nian said softly, "I sleep lightly."

Rong Jin and Gu Nian haven't slept a few times, and he doesn't know if Gu Nian is a light sleeper or not.But he thought, there was more or less his reason.He could feel the uneasiness that Gu Nian had been lingering around after seeing him this time.

Rong Jin sighed: "I said I won't leave. When will my words not count?"

Gu Nian thought to herself, talking often doesn't count.

In fact, Rong Jin misunderstood, he was not afraid that Rong Jin would sneak away at night.Since Rong Jin came here on behalf of Shao Guo, he would not sneak away before he made it clear to Gu Nian and before the other Shao Guo envoys left.It's just that in the past three years, Gu Nian has had many dreams. Whether it's the sweet past, the painful farewell, or the longed-for reunion in the dream, Rong Jin is always there.But when he finally woke up at dawn, he was gone.

Over time, I slept lightly.

Rong Jin stood up, walked to the window and looked, the moon was still high in the sky, half of the night was over.He looked at Gu Nian who had no sleepiness in his eyes, and thought that not sleeping was not an option.

The shadow of the lamp was dim, Gu Nian was wearing a thin tunic, her long hair was scattered behind her back, her eyes were black and white, reflecting the thin light.It is said that beauty should be seen under the lamp, Rong Jin has never understood the meaning of this sentence as deeply as now.Rong Jin thought to himself, in fact, those old men in Shao Guo didn't wrong him, he did have lustful genes.

Rong Jin walked over, climbed onto the bed and got under the quilt, moved inside, and let out a breath: "Go to sleep. Sleep next to me, so I won't be afraid that I will run away now."

When Gu Nianan settled down, she lay down eight feet away from Rong Jin.Rong Jin sighed, thinking to himself, things like principles, you get used to throwing them away: "Is there a tiger in the bed? I don't want to go under the bed in the middle of the night to catch you."

After talking for a while, most of Rong Jin's doze was gone.Darkness can always bring people a greater sense of security, making people temporarily forget their scruples and troubles. Rong Jin shrank back from the quilt and couldn't help but said: "You can't really look at me all the time. Your Majesty, will tomorrow Are you not going to court?"

Gu Nian said softly: "I have explained to Ah Yi that I have caught the cold and will not go to court for a few days, so I asked the ministers to write down all the important matters in the memorial and hand it over."

Rong Jin: "..."

It seems that not only Liu Yi is a sycophant, Gu Nian also has the potential to be a fool.

"Go to sleep quickly."

"Ah."
