Chapter 22 Absentmindedness
At this time, Shunde, the eunuch beside Emperor Yuan Jing, came in from outside and winked at the maid, who hurriedly left.

"Your Majesty, the Queen and Lian Zhaoyi are here and waiting outside."

Emperor Yuan Jing closed his eyes, his withered face full of impatience: "I don't have time, let them go back."

"Yes."

Shunde withdrew and returned to the queen.

Emperor Yuan Jing became irritated when he heard the word "queen". Not long after the prince's matter was settled, the grand master began to be restless these days. He united with a group of ministers to attack the imperial concubine, causing harm to the country and the people.

Shunde took over the position of the palace maid and poured tea for Emperor Yuan Jing: "Your Majesty, please try this tea. The imperial concubine sent me this tea, saying it can help refresh your mind."

Emperor Yuan Jing took a sip of tea and relaxed his eyebrows: "Shunde, you understand me best, Concubine Xuan."

Shunde smiled and went to deliver the order.

……

Autumn has arrived, a wisp of cinnamon is intoxicating and fragrant, and the moon is shining over the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and every household has prepared early. The red sun is setting in the west, the stars and moonlight are coming, the capital is brightly lit, and the streets are blooming. Everywhere you look, there are silver flowers and trees, eight streets and nine streets, and people are everywhere. So lively.

"Miss, I heard that Master Chi and Miss Chi are also here today. They should stay in the mansion for a few days."

Gu Qingyuan hummed indifferently and continued to insert the hairpin in her hair.

"Don't think about it, my mother must have asked them to come."

After changing her clothes, Gu Qingyuan took another photo in front of the bronze mirror before leading Ningdong out.

Gu Qingyuan was wearing a crimson skirt with scattered flowers, and the skirt was embroidered with large begonia flowers, as if they were blooming at her feet. As the girl walked, the flowers bloomed and swayed step by step.

There are plum blossoms on her forehead, bright fox eyes, and a charming smile.

When Gu Qingyuan and his servant arrived, everyone was already here. Even the old lady was there. He just glanced at her lightly. Gu Liangyue was sitting next to her. I wonder if it was because the food in the General's Mansion was good. , she always felt that Gu Liangyue seemed to have gained some weight.

Sitting next to Mrs. Xie was Gu Yanci, and next to her was a girl in pink clothes. She looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a strand of black hair hanging on her chest. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and was charming. She looked closely at Xie. There are still some similarities between his eyebrows and eyes.

A hint of imperceptible jealousy flashed in the girl's eyes.

"Jiaojiao, come quickly!"

The young man in purple clothes beside Gu Yanci suddenly stood up, which startled Gu Qingyuan, and looked up at him. The young man's face was as white as jade, his eyes were like stars, and his clear eyes seemed to be full of tears, which was provocative. Love.

Chi Yinan stuttered and called Sister Gu.

Gu Qingyuan reached out and rubbed Chi Yinan's hair. He saw Chi Yinan's eyes widened and his face flushed. He looked at her in shock with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Why, when I grow up, my sister can't even touch it."

"Jiaojiao, don't mess around." Gu Yanci interrupted.

Gu Qingyuan stuck out her tongue at him, and the two sat down obediently.

Mrs. Xie looked on with amusement: "Jiaojiao, this is no longer our childhood. You must not bully Yinan anymore."

"Speaking of which, you, Yinan and Lianxue haven't seen each other for a while."

Gu Qingyuan nodded, Chi Lianxue and Chi Yinan were the children of her biological aunt, Xie's biological sister, Xie Yan.

Chi Lianxue and Chi Yinan are twins, but they are not very similar in appearance or appearance. Xie Yan was ignorant when he was young and was attracted by Chi Liang's appearance and eloquence. He insisted on marrying a businessman despite his parents' opposition. Too shameless to come back
According to Mr. Xie's words, Chi Lianxue and Chi Yinan are both poor children, and they could do with more pain.Gu Qingyuan ate a piece of mooncake. It was a bit sweet and she didn't like it very much. She took a bite and put it down. Her eyes were attracted by the fragrant osmanthus wine on the table in Chi Yinan.

After checking that there was nothing on her table, he touched Chi Yinan with his elbow: "Pour me some of your wine, thank you."

Chi Yinan subconsciously refused. You must know that Gu Qingyuan not only couldn't drink, but his wine was also bad. He drank too much last time at Pingnan Marquis Mansion and chased him to compete. He had not been able to beat Gu Qingyuan since he was a child. Naturally, that time Likewise, he was pushed to the ground and beaten by Gu Qingyuan until his nose and face were bruised and swollen.

Gu Qingyuan narrowed her eyes slightly: "Huh?"

Chi Yinan nodded resignedly, okay, who makes him afraid of Gu Qingyuan.

"As promised, we can only have one drink."

Gu Qingyuan kept nodding her head like a chicken pecking at rice. She had been craving this sweet-scented osmanthus wine for a long time, but Mrs. Xie was usually strict about it and hid all the wine and wouldn't let her touch it.

The aroma of the wine in the glass attracted her, and Gu Qingyuan swallowed subconsciously, and her hand was pressed down as soon as it touched the glass.

who? !

The owner of that big hand was Gu Yanci, who was sitting nearby. He said in a cold voice: "No drinking." After saying that, he took the cup away.

Gu Qingyuan could only watch as the fine osmanthus wine entered Gu Yanci's mouth, and the other party took the wine cup away from the table.

She was a little depressed, but had no choice but to raise her head and focus on the big, round moon.

Everyone was drinking and talking and admiring the moon, when two young men came in one after the other.

"Madam, this is sent by Prince Fu."

Everyone's eyes fell on the boy. Chi Lianxue's eyes beside Xie suddenly lit up, while Gu Liangyue thought of something and her almond-shaped eyes dimmed.

The smile on Mrs. Xie's brows was gone, her sharp eyes were raised, and she snorted coldly: "You are becoming more and more unruly. You dare to take anything from the house and not throw it out!"

I don't want to give any face to Fu Huaian.

"Okay, it's a big holiday. The prince of this family kindly gave it to me. If you throw it out, you will be disgracing the Prime Minister's Mansion." The old lady did not agree with Xie's approach and took the gift with her own hands.

Thinking that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival and there were other people around, so it was hard to argue with the old lady, Ms. Xie turned her attention to the other boy: "What about you? Who sent this to you?"

"Back to Madam, this is from Mr. Pei Xiaohou, saying it is for the eldest lady."

"For Jiaojiao?"

Gu Qingyuan stood up and stepped forward in confusion. Even Gu Yanci put down his chopsticks and frowned. When did his sister get involved with such a person?
The boy opened the box, which contained tea called Ignorance of Spring. There was a box of tea from the Holy Master, and the other box was given to Pei Qingci, which fell into Gu Qingyuan's hands again.

"Jiaojiao, since when did you become so familiar with Mr. Pei Xiaohou?"

Gu Qingyuan chuckled: "Um, it's nothing, I just did a small favor for the Marquis unintentionally last time."

Gu Yanci's brows still didn't loosen, obviously he didn't believe Gu Qingyuan's words. He knew his sister too well, and would touch her ears involuntarily whenever she told lies.

"Okay, okay, let's eat first."

Mrs. Xie noticed Gu Qingyuan's embarrassment and came to the rescue at the right time.

Everyone had their own thoughts during the meal. Gu Qingyuan observed Gu Liangyue from time to time, and the other party seemed absent-minded all night for some reason.
