famous eldest daughter

Chapter 96 Lost

Xiao Yu glanced at Prince Duan, his face fell in displeasure, and said: "Uncle, you don't take me seriously. I sent someone to send a message this morning, saying that I would come to your house to play. , didn’t you receive it?”

"This bamboo forest in your house is the best in the whole capital. I'll cut down some bamboos and make cages to raise crickets." As Xiao Yu spoke, he glanced at the bamboos around him and then looked at Prince Duan. "Is it possible that you are reluctant to part with the bamboo, uncle, and are deliberately pretending not to know that I am coming? Uncle, you are too stingy."

When Prince Duan heard this, the corner of his mouth suddenly trembled, "If you want bamboo, why don't you just send Ming Lu to get it? You have to do it yourself!"

While talking, Prince Duan remembered that he seemed to have heard the butler's report in the morning that the fourth prince was coming to visit.

At that time, he had something to deal with, and Xiao Yu was used to being a dishonest person, so he didn't take it seriously.

As his thoughts passed by, the suspicion in Prince Duan's eyes gradually dissipated.

After hearing what Prince Duan said, Xiao Yu pouted and said, "Fourth uncle, I think you sincerely don't want to give me bamboo. This bamboo forest is in the inner courtyard of the mansion. If I had only sent Ming Lu, he would have been able to enter." This inner courtyard? I’m afraid they’ll be kicked out before the door can be opened.”

Prince Duan knew what he said was reasonable, so he could only smile and said: "That's all, you can choose which bamboo you want. You can choose the bamboo from this bamboo forest, lest you say I'm stingy again and run to the emperor." Sue me and say that I can't bear to give you bamboo to play with."

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and curled his lips and said, "It is."

Prince Duan still had things to deal with, and he didn't want to grind his teeth with Xiao Yu here, so he smiled and said: "I can't afford to offend you, so I can always hide. Your aunt is holding a banquet in the flower hall, and you have chosen the bamboo in a while. Come over and have some wine.”

What Prince Duan said was vicious. Xiao Yu, a prince, went to join in the fun at the banquet of female guests. If he really went, his reputation would be even worse.

Gu Yuqing listened and silently scolded Prince Duan for being sinister.

But Xiao Yu didn't realize it and agreed with a smile.

Prince Duan turned around and left with a thick smile on his lips.

This fourth child can make people mad with just a few words, but Prince Duan likes this kind of prince who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. How wonderful!
The princes were all vying with each other, so what he wanted to do would naturally be less troublesome.

It would be great if Xiao Duo could learn from Xiao Yu!
Seeing Prince Duan leave without any doubt, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, he was worried that using the cloak to cover Gu Yuqing would be seen through by Prince Duan, but fortunately, Gu Yuqing was thin and thin, while he himself was tall, so it was not obvious that Gu Yuqing was hugged close to his chest under the cloak.

In addition, the color and texture of Gu Yuqing's dress today are the same as his cloak, which is pine green brocade, so even if there is a trace of it, it is not conspicuous in this bamboo forest.

Listening to the footsteps, and after confirming that Prince Duan and the old man were gone, Xiao Yu opened his cloak with a "huh", took a deep breath, summoned up all the courage in his body, lowered his head and looked at Gu Yuqing gently: "Are you tired? "

The voice is dull and extremely magnetic.

His breath hit Gu Yuqing's cheek, and the faint rosin smelled warm, and Gu Yuqing couldn't help but blush.

When the danger was over, Gu Yuqing took two steps back, put a certain distance away from Xiao Yu, and said with a smile, "Thank you, His Highness the Fourth Prince, for saving your life today."

As he said that, Gu Yuqing remembered the scorching temperature when he touched Xiao Yu's chest, and worriedly asked: "Is Your Highness sick? Your body is so hot."

Xiao Yu looked at Gu Yuqing seriously, feeling that he couldn't get enough of it. Hearing these words, his body suddenly trembled, "Ah... that... yes, I am sick, sick." He looked away from Gu Yuqing. , looked straight at the big rock on the side, looking very attentively.

Although everything seemed calm on the outside, Xiao Yu was almost crying in his heart.

It was such a happy thing to hold the girl he loved under his cloak, but Xiao Yu never expected that Gu Yuqing, who was hiding in the cloak, would...actually reach out and touch him.

Xiao Yu almost jumped when he was touched so unexpectedly by the girl he longed for.

Of course, his body was burning hot. The blood in his veins was about to burst with excitement. It would be weird if it wasn't hot.

Xiao Yu had just managed to gather up enough courage and said a few normal words in front of Gu Yuqing, but at this moment, his heart was racing and he knew that he would never be able to say a normal word again, so he was still attached to being alone with Gu Yuqing. Given the opportunity, he was still very self-aware and decided to run away!
If you don't leave, you don't know how you will be ruined by him if you are a hero to save the beauty.

Xiao Yu, you coward!Silently scolding himself, Xiao Yu said, "Well, I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you. I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, Xiao Yu turned around and left in a swoosh.

Gu Yuqing looked at Xiao Yu's fleeing back, and the three black lines on his forehead suddenly became thicker and darker.

What do you mean, don't bother me... Say goodbye first... He clearly saved his own life.

Gu Yuqing found that Xiao Yu seemed to speak strangely every time he met him.

But no matter what, Gu Yuqing will remember Xiao Yu's kindness today.

Looking around, there was no one around. Gu Yuqing picked up her skirt and returned to the winding path from the bamboo forest. She swept away the grass clippings on her skirt and walked towards the flower hall where the banquet was held.

At this time, Gu Yuhe had not returned yet.

As soon as Gu Yuqing entered the flower hall, everyone's eyes fell on her. Princess Duan's eyes were sharp and sharp, but she still had a smile on her face and asked: "Why have you been here for so long?"

Gu Yuqing's eyes quickly glanced around, and she saw in the corner the little maid who was rushed to get the dress by Gu Yuhe. She was still holding Gu Yuhe's dress from the carriage in her hand.

Looking away, bowing Yingying, Gu Yuqing said: "I thought I could catch up with Yuhe, so I didn't bother the maid in the house. But I never thought that I was lost before I walked out of the bamboo forest." Gu Yuqing had a look on his face. An annoyed look.

Princess Duan's smile froze when she heard the words, "You said you got lost in the bamboo forest?"

Gu Yuqing nodded, "Yes, I saw a maid in an orange-pink dress leading Yuhe towards the bamboo forest, but when I chased after her, there was no one there. I couldn't find the direction, but luckily I met His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince rafting bamboo in the bamboo forest, and His Highness was kind enough to show me the way, so I came back proudly."

As Gu Yuqing spoke, his gaze passed over Princess Duan's smiling face, and she sneered in her heart, adjusting her posture, "It's Yuqing's fault that Princess Duan is worried about her."

As he spoke, Gu Yuqing murmured again, "Hey, why hasn't Yuhe come back yet?"

Princess Duan has always been very deep in the city. Even though Gu Yuqing's words made her heart feel like a huge wave, she still calmed down at the banquet. She smiled slowly and said to Gu Yuqing: "Is there something wrong? There is a delay. You don’t have to worry about it at my house. I will ask someone to help you look for it, so you can sit back and relax."

Saying so, Duan Wangfei called her confidant maid, and whispered a few instructions, and the maid obeyed her orders and left.

Gu Yuqing looked at the back of the maid as she quickly left, and twisted a piece of mung bean cake with a smile.
