late night song

Chapter 265
After a brief tidying up, the two set off to the front yard to take a carriage. When passing by the small garden, Ling Buhuo glanced at Shu Yuan carrying several layers of kraft paper boxes and humming a tune as he passed by. Gu Yuchu was about to call him out, but he couldn't stop him. He was nimble and vigorous, and caught her mouth in an instant, turned around and dragged her behind him, hiding her in the corner of the corridor. He waited until the sound of the ditty disappeared and he looked around to confirm that no one was around before letting go.

"What do you think? You act like a thief in your own house." Gu Yuchu frowned slightly and pretended to be angry.

"Wait a minute, I'm not the owner of this house, your two brothers are!" Ling Buhuo drew back his sleeves angrily, revealing a little helplessness in his anger.

"Then why not invite them both together? They also like to eat wontons." The woman covered her face and smiled, deliberately provoking.

"No!" Ling Buhuo squinted his eyes and objected.

"why?"

"I don't want to see them today!"

"But even if we don't see you today, we will definitely see you tomorrow."

"I just want to be alone with you today, no one can disturb me!"

When Gu Yu saw Ling Buhuo's aggrieved and serious look for the first time, he couldn't help but hold his belly and laugh. He couldn't bear to tease him anymore and coaxed him: "Okay, okay, just the two of us."

Ling Buhuo's smile spread across his eyes and brows again, and he led his beloved into the carriage together, heading towards the lively market.

On the carriage, the more Gu Yuchu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The two brothers had exchanged identities. It was impossible for outsiders to know such a secret thing. All they saw was that General Yuesheng was replaced by General Lingyu, and Prince Ling had his wife taken away by his own brother. , this is already the biggest hot news in Yunjing.

Now that King Jingchuan had only been married for two days, the two losers in the wife-stealing war were openly dating side by side. The script did not dare to write like this, so she felt a little uneasy for a moment.

"Isn't it a little inappropriate for the two of us to go out on the street rashly like this?"

"General Yuesheng, Prince Jingchuan's palace cannot accommodate him, so he turned around and started planning the prince's palace again. It's not appropriate."

"How do you know that others won't say that Prince Ling was aggrieved when his beloved was taken away, so he retaliated with tooth for tooth and robbed King Jingchuan of his most capable female general?"

"Then what do you fear?"

"I have nothing to be afraid of. It's just that you have to restrain yourself a little despite Ling Ziyu's tattered reputation."

"You also know his reputation and don't care about one or two more ridiculous things."

"You think it's ridiculous, but you still do this."

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"Change your appearance? It's as easy as drinking water for you."

"I don't think it's necessary. General Yuesheng will marry into the prince's palace soon. When the time comes, there will be endless rumors, so why bother now?"

"Then how about I change my appearance? Let's change into men's clothes." Gu Yuchu still didn't change his mind and said thoughtfully.

"Don't do it. Then there will be rumors again that Prince Ling is in pain of having his wife taken away from him. He can't extricate himself. It's better to switch to Longyang for comfort. At that time, I won't be able to escape even if I jumped into the Yellow River."

"Hahaha, it seems to make sense."

"But you've finally reminded me." Ling Buhuo looked Gu Yuchu up and down and said seriously.

"what?"

"Prince Jingchuan has a mistress. The tragic ending of your cousin's wife is rumored in the public circles. Some people commit suicide by jumping into a lake, some escape into Buddhism, and some go crazy and run away. But you are showing this picture. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint them by going to and from the market like this, but even so, do you want to make them extremely disappointed?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Just asking if you want it?" Ling Buhuo whetted her appetite.

Gu Yuchu's playfulness was lured out in this way. Although she had long been accustomed to dealing with rumors indifferently, if there was an opportunity to take the initiative in her own hands, she would never let it go easily, so she did not comment.

Ling Buhuo understood the situation and explained it to the driver. He turned around and went straight to the back door of a courtyard.

"What is this place?"

"Jinxiu Building, the make-up staff of the rich and noble ladies in Yunjing City all come from this building."

"Prince Ling is really well-informed." Gu Yuchu clapped his hands in a strange way and boasted.

"If Madam is unwilling, we can leave." Ling Buhuo deliberately raised his voice and replied with a smile on his face.

"Who is your wife?" Gu Yuchu cursed shyly in a low voice. Before she could continue, a girl with a pretty face came out to greet her. Ling Buhuo nodded to her, and she ushered the two of them into the main room.

The fresh and elegant furnishings and unique window panes in the house fully demonstrate the taste of the owner. Gu Yuchu had just wondered which cool and beautiful lady could make Ling Buhuo a guest here, but when he saw the huge mirror in front of the room When the man sitting on the floor with his long hair disheveled turned out to be a man, she was really shocked.

"Your Highness, this is the first time I have brought a woman here. How can I change my mind? I no longer have to put on a false front to welcome the world." Although the man's words were gentle, he said harsh words. He thought he was an old acquaintance.

Gu Yuchu glanced at the calm and leisurely Ling Buhuo, and felt a little guilty. The man in front of her only thought he was Prince Ling, but she actually misunderstood that Ling Buhuo could freely enter and leave such a place.

"There has to be that first time, two hours. I wonder if Mr. Xiang's magic stroke can make this woman recognize her true appearance."

"I will definitely live up to this trip, girl, please sit down."

Gu Yuchu stepped forward suspiciously and sat in front of the huge mirror. Only then did she see clearly the true face of the man named Xiang Jun. She saw that there was a ferocious scar about an inch long on the end of his right eye, which made her feel sad. Trembling, but the calmness in his face and eyes made the man's mouth slightly raise.

"Let me tell you, the girl brought by His Royal Highness is definitely not an ordinary woman."

Ling Buhuo sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, sipping tea, smiling but not answering.

Gu Yuchu didn't say anything, just letting Xiangjun play with his hair and face.

"Girl doesn't want to be trusted by others, but she is born innocent. I don't know if this troubled world has taught you to understand others or yourself? This Suiyun bun looks casual, but it is not simple. She is cautious and follows her own heart. Wouldn’t it be better?”

"Girls are used to being strong, and don't feel the pain from being exposed to the sun or rain. This aloe vera gel is the most nourishing. It can reverse the skin fat, but it's hard to warm up when your heart is cold. If there is a beloved person who really wants to protect you from the wind and rain, just let yourself go. Once it is fulfilled, you will never leave it."

"The girl has a firm mind and naturally sharp eyebrows. I'll calm down a little for you and continue with Yuan Dai. She neither changes her heroic appearance nor deliberately coquettishly."

"Girls don't want to join the secular world, but you can't escape your fate when flowers are blooming. This rose powder is the most delicate, and it lightly sweeps away the clouds, which can be regarded as a formal return of gratitude."

"The girl has a calm appearance, but she is most proud in her heart. Although she does not wish to be superior to others, she is not willing to be inferior to others. Once her red lips are lit, she should let them bloom beautifully and no longer need to be limited by other people's words."

Xiang Jun was talking and dressing himself, completely revealing the side of Gu Yuchu that he had tried so hard to hide for so many years, and then gently comforted her, making her fall into deep thought unconsciously.

This didn't look like dressing up, but rather like washing the soul. When she raised her eyes to look at herself in the mirror, she didn't dare to recognize her for a moment. She was even convinced for the first time that she was as beautiful as the palace wall.

"What do you think, girl?" Xiangjun asked softly, satisfied with her reaction.

"Xiangjun's wonderful writing is well-deserved." Gu Yuchu did not hesitate to praise him at all.

Xiang Jun smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously. He had long been accustomed to such compliments. "Now that the makeup is done, it's time to dress. The newly made jade blue moonflower skirt with dark honeysuckle patterns is exactly the same as your body shape, and paired with a silver-white cloak, it's cool and elegant without losing the charm. Let's try it on in the back hall, girl. Try it.”

Gu Yuchu glanced at Ling Buhuo, who remained unmoved throughout the whole process, and retreated angrily under the leadership of the girl he had just introduced.

Xiang Jun had nothing to do, so he picked up his hair, picked up a paintbrush and traced his scars, not forgetting to tease Ling Buhuo, who was pretending to be calm.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has encountered a tough situation this time. This girl seems to be docile, but in fact she is willful and stubborn, and it is difficult to handle her."

"I was sincere, so what's wrong with being manipulated by her?" Ling Buhuo raised his eyebrows, put the cup down gently, looked out the window at the small scene in the garden, and confessed his defeat.

"His Royal Highness, it's too much. He expressed his willingness so beautifully."

"Xiangjun just lives too clearly, aren't you tired?"

"Each each other."

The two men did not look at each other during the entire conversation, but each smiled indifferently, which was also subtle.

When Gu Yuchu appeared in front of the hall again, Ling Buhuo refused to move his eyes for a moment. After being stunned for a while, his smile spread.

He knew her beauty, but he didn't know that this long-hidden grace was so thrilling.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xiang. The reward will be sent to your house the next day."

Ling Buhuo took a few steps forward and took Gu Yuchu's hand, leading her away with a swift stride. Gu Yuchu couldn't help but look back at the man named Xiang Jun. He happened to be watching them leave indifferently. She was surprised by the ferocious look on his face. The scars seemed to disappear in an instant, revealing the man's stunning beauty.

On the street, Gu Yuchu received attention for the first time because of his gorgeous appearance.Ling Buhuo held her hand tightly and walked through the crowd. The smile that never faded from the corner of his mouth revealed the joy in his heart.

They drank tea and cakes, tied ropes to pray, watched plays and listened to books, and arranged all the usual leisurely activities for a leisurely couple to visit the lake and gardens. They did not want to leave home until the lights dimmed.

The moon was bright tonight and the wind was clear, so it would be nice to enjoy the moon and have a drink. However, Ling Buhuo's good spirits were completely defeated by two bitter-faced stumbling blocks.

"Your red date, longan and lotus seed tea." Gu Fan thrust a honey-colored teapot into Gu Yuchu's hand.

"Your rouge rice cake." Shu Yuan also gave her a plate of cakes.

Gu Yuchu was at a loss and glanced at Ling Buhuo. He had a bad look on his face, but he held himself back from getting angry. Then she looked at her two brothers with a confused expression, not knowing what to do.

"Eat."

"Drink."

Gu Fan and Shu Yuan ordered with livid faces. Gu Yuchu lowered his head unexpectedly, took a bite of the cake and took a sip of tea, and laughed mischievously.

"You dress up like a fairy, but you can't get used to eating ordinary people's cakes and tea? It's just a small sip, who are you perfunctory with?" Shu Yuan held his arms and mocked in a weird way. He was still angry. There was no news from this woman for two days. , only caring about his own fun, causing his younger brother to worry in vain.

"That's enough." Ling Buhuo finally couldn't help it, and softly scolded the two little bastards who were pushing their noses and faces.

"Why are you so cruel?!"

When Gu Yu first saw his two younger brothers, who were still aggressive just now, he was immediately deflated. He was eager to protect his younger brothers, and instinctively poked the man next to him with his elbow. When the two young men saw this, their eyes shone again, although they did not dare to go too far, and the corners of their lips and nostrils could not hide the pride inside.

Ling Buhuo glared at them both angrily and walked away angrily.

Seeing that they were no longer intimidated, Shu Yuan and Gu Fan surrounded Gu Yuchu with smiles and started interrogation mode.

"You just sold yourself out like that? You should be more reserved."

"Did he go too far? Are you uncomfortable in any way?"

"It's done. At least you gave us both a piece of news, which kept us awake all night, worried that you would suffer a loss!"

The two of them didn't care whether they should ask or not, and kept chattering. Gu Yuchu was so embarrassed that he had to face it calmly, and said back: "Why, these two young masters are not satisfied with this result?"

"Satisfied! Satisfied! Quite satisfied!" They both replied with a smile.

"Then don't ask for details, okay?"

Gu Yuchu gritted his teeth and said helplessly in a low voice. It was such magnanimity that made the two teenagers feel embarrassed for a moment. They regretted their rude words just now, but they still said plausibly: "Who asked you to leave them behind?" The two of us went away happily."

"I'll take you to eat the roasted whole lamb from Shuxiang Pavilion tomorrow." Gu Yuchu said seductively with a smile.

"There are also roasted squab, belly meat, and goat's milk wine." The two teenagers added.

"Okay, okay, you can eat whatever you want. That's compensation."

"A word is settled!"

"It's a deal. So, you can go back now and come back tomorrow, okay?" Gu Yuchu coaxed them, thinking that there was an old man in the room waiting for her to please, and sighed unconsciously.

"No, we have a yard in this house." Shu Yuan blinked, dragging Gu Fan and retreating with satisfaction, leaving Gu Yuchu alone, stunned at the meaning of these words, but the jealousy in the house could not wait for anyone, she He shook his head and hurried over.

Ling Buhuo held the chess book with an unhappy look on his face. He seemed to be focused on it, but he didn't know where his mind had wandered.

Gu Yuchu stepped forward with a smile on her face, leaned on the narrow edge of the table, and pretended to peek, but Ling Buhuo completely treated her as if she didn't exist, neither pandering nor resisting.

"You are so serious. During this long night, Your Highness is planning to study chess records?"

Ling Buhuo remained silent. Gu Yuchu suppressed his laughter and walked around to him. He raised his hand and grabbed the chess book. Then he sat directly on his lap, put his arms around his neck, and continued teasingly: "I won't drink that wine either." No more? No more rewards for the moon?"

Ling Buhuo remained silent. Although his expression was serious, his face looked much better.

"Come to think of it, some people still want to be alone, so I won't bother you." Gu Yuchu pretended to be disappointed and deliberately stood up to leave, but without any surprise, he was firmly held by the man.

"The two of them are indeed too idle." Ling Buhuo said leisurely, seeming to have a plan in mind.

"More experience is a good thing, but don't be too deliberate. It will be bad if people think you take too much care of them." The woman emphasized, not wanting her two brothers to receive preferential treatment and be ostracized by their colleagues because of this special relationship.

"Too much care? They think so." Ling Buhuo snorted, "It's hard for me to take too much care of you."

"When did I let you take too much care of me?" Gu Yuchu patted him on the shoulder twice, thinking of his strict self-discipline and hard work in the army, and said angrily.

"Yesterday, and every day from now on."

Ling Buhuo smiled slyly, hugged the woman, and gradually disappeared behind the curtain in a few steps.
