MTL - Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times-Chapter 55
It was not evening yet.
But Jiang Ying's bedroom was covered with a layer of shading fabric, so it was a bit hazy and dark at night.
Jiang Ying ordered Qiu Ju to light up a few candles around her.
Under the faint candlelight, several people could vaguely see each other's faces.
"Sit here." Jiang Ying pointed to Jiang Libai at the soft chair beside her, then glanced at the star in her arms, pursed her lips and suggested, "Why don't you give the star to the nurse."
"She's sleepy now, and I have to coax her to fall asleep." After Jiang Libai sat down, she gently tucked Xing Xing's blanket over her body.
Qiu Ju had already come out with several emerald jade boxes, carefully placing them in front of Jiang Ying and Jiang Libai.
But Jiang Ying's full attention was on Jiang Libai at the moment, she only glanced at Dongzhu lightly, and then turned her attention to Jiang Libai again.
The tenderness in the depths of the pupils seemed obscure and secretive in the dense darkness.
"It's so beautiful!" Jiang Libai looked at the faintly shining beads, raised her hand and took one up to watch carefully, "It's round and transparent, clear and bright, it's really beautiful!"
Most women in Beijing like these shiny beads, and Jiang Libai is no exception.
When she touched the bead, her tentacles felt warm, and she was a little surprised: "How come it is like warm jade in your hand, and it can warm your palm?!"
Jiang Ying looked at her with a smile, "This is the uniqueness of these Dendrobium pearls. Even in winter, you won't feel cold when you hold them in your hand."
"If you like it, I will give you all these, okay?"
There was an unknown tenderness in this soft voice, but Jiang Libai didn't hear it.
Although she likes these beads, after all, her fifth sister got them, so she accepts them all no matter what.
She picked out the bead she had been holding in her hand from the beginning, and asked Jiang Ying with a smile: "I like this one, how about Fifth Sister giving me this one?"
The girl's eyebrows are curved, and the eyes are shining brighter than Dongzhu.
Jiang Ying was stunned for a moment.
Qiu Ju beside her coughed lightly, and then pulled her back from her mind.
"Okay." Jiang Ying told Qiu Ju to pack the bead and let Chunxi hold it first.
Then he asked Qiu Ju to bring out some gadgets, put them in front of Jiang Libai, and said softly, "This is for Xing Xing, you should also accept it together."
Jiang Libai looked at those exquisite and small gadgets, smiled, and did not refuse: "Okay."
As he spoke, he nodded at the soft little face of Xing Xing who was still asleep: "Thank you soon, auntie, she gave you a lot of toys!"
Xing Xing's round eyes were still rolling around, probably because she heard her mother talking to her, she was very face-saving, she grinned, and smiled happily.
Jiang Ying was attracted by her smile and paused.
"She looks just like you."
Jiang Libai looked down at the dim candlelight, "Really?"
Hmm... Xing Xing's eyes seem to be somewhat similar to hers.
"Yeah, she smiled, just like you, very well-behaved."
Such praise made Jiang Libai a little embarrassed: "Fifth sister, I am nineteen years old, and you still praise me like this, how shameful..."
When she was young, her fifth sister would praise her from time to time, but as she got older, it was rare for her to hear her fifth sister say that about her again.
The candlelight is dim and the years are long.
Such a relaxed atmosphere made Jiang Ying feel dizzy.
Ever since Jiang Libai got married and moved out of the palace, she has never chatted with her like this.
"And Xing Xing's eyes are just like mine, but her eyebrows and mouth are more like Gu Yun..." Jiang Libai looked at the little Xing Xing in her arms seriously, but she didn't realize that after she finished speaking, Jiang Ying's face next to her changed slightly. The change.
Jiang Ying clenched her sleeves tightly, and her expression returned to the relaxed and natural look at the beginning.
She also looked down, carefully studying the eyebrows and eyes of Little Xingxing.
Although the child is still young, the faint eyebrows are almost the same as Gu Yun's...
The more Jiang Ying watched, the more frightened she became, her fingertips tucked into her sleeves turned white.
"It really looks like..."
At this moment, she could no longer maintain the expression on her face. After pursing her lips and smiling reluctantly, she clenched her hand into a fist and put it next to her mouth, coughing twice: "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night. My son is feeling unwell, why don't I get together with you next time when I feel better?"
Hearing this, Jiang Libai was a little worried: "Then let the imperial doctor come and take a look?"
Jiang Ying shook her head: "It's an old problem, and it will probably be much better after a night of sleep."
After speaking, he ordered Qiu Ju to send them out: "Send Princess Jianing and the little princess back properly."
Jiang Libai knew that she, the Fifth Sister, seemed mild-tempered, but was actually the most stubborn, so seeing that she didn't want to see an imperial doctor, she didn't say anything more.
After saying goodbye, she left with Xing Xing in her arms.
Before removing the shading fabric, the light in the room dimmed again.
Jiang Ying watched the figure slowly disappear at the door with indifferent eyes. After saying "Call Jiang Heng" in a very low voice, she turned the wheelchair and slowly returned to the inner room.
She thought in a trance, some things seemed to be beyond her expectation...
It was getting late outside, and lanterns were hung on every corner of the yard.
Gu Yun sat in the pavilion in the garden, bored watching the players playing and singing outside.
Even though she knew that the fifth princess arranged these things for her, she was afraid that she would be bored. But now she just wants to go back with the princess as soon as possible, so she also finds it boring because of the outstanding skills of those actors.
After drinking glass after glass of wine, Gu Yun supported his head with his hands and looked at the sky.
It's almost time for dinner, and the princess should be coming out soon.
When the servant beside her was about to pour her wine, she covered the rim of the glass: "Okay, you don't have to wait here anymore."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard footsteps coming from outside.
She stood up and walked out of the pavilion.
Sure enough, the smiling Seventh Princess walked over with Xing Xing.
She hurriedly greeted her: "Have you had a good time today?"
Jiang Libai looked at her flushed cheeks, frowned, and moved closer to her to sniff.
"you've been drinking?"
Gu Yun took her little hand: "Well, the fifth princess was afraid that I would be bored outside alone, so she arranged songs and dances for me, and also brought me a lot of food."
Now that she is still outside, and in front of so many outsiders, Jiang Libai can't say anything about her.
"It's getting late, we should go back."
Before coming to the carriage, Jiang Libai gave Xingxing to the nanny, and asked them to take Xingxing to the carriage behind.
"Why doesn't the princess let Xing Xing be with us?" Gu Yun was a little puzzled.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was paying attention to them, Jiang Libai quietly glared at her: "Get in the carriage."
Gu Yun dared not disobey Madam's order.
After getting into the carriage obediently, she sat down politely.
Jiang Libai sat beside her, looked her up, and moved closer.
Picking up her collar, she took another deep sniff.
"How much did you drink?"
Feeling drunk, Gu Yun reacted a little slowly, "No... not much." As soon as the servant poured it for her, she picked it up and drank it casually, without paying attention to how much she drank.
"The whole body is full of alcohol, and I'm not afraid of smoking the stars!" Jiang Libai kicked her calf, "Drink less in the future."
When the calf was touched, Gu Yun subconsciously clamped Jiang Libai's foot, and then responded faster than his mind: "Okay, I will drink less in the future."
Jiang Libai looked at the foot that was clamped by Gu Yun, and suddenly became angry, "It's bright and sunny, don't let me go!"
Now that the stamina has picked up, Gu Yun's reaction is much slower.
She wobbled and hugged Jiang Libai, changed her usual indifference and nobleness, and buried her head in Jiang Libai's chest like a little beast begging for caress.
"male
Lord...you are so fierce..."
Jiang Libai: "???"
Is Gu Yun feeling wronged? !
She really wanted to slap her head away, but the woman rarely showed a bewildered look, which made her very surprised and... happy?
The anger just now subsided a lot, Jiang Libai raised her hand to gently caress instead, her fingertips pierced Gu Yun's soft black hair, she pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Do you think I'm very fierce to you?"
Although Gu Yun was a little unconscious, she could still hear a little bit of eerie calm from the Seventh Princess' tone?
According to her temperament of never contradicting the Seventh Princess in the past, she should be shaking her head now.
But now she nodded honestly with her gallbladder, and then said in a low voice: "Sometimes you are very fierce...I am afraid...you are angry..."
Really drunk and cowardly!
The smile on Jiang Libai's mouth gradually deepened.
Ignoring the numbness brought by the warmth of her chest, she reached out and raised Gu Yun's head, "Are you afraid of me?"
Gu Yun was forced to raise his head, and his eyes gradually became slack.
She didn't answer, but when Jiang Libai looked at her quietly, she straightened up and kissed Jiang Libai's lips unprepared.
Jiang Libai: "..."
Dreadful!
She still wanted to tease this delirious dog, why was she suddenly kissed? !
She struggled, trying to push Gu Yun away.
But Gu Yun was so strong that he restrained her fidgeting little hand with one hand, and then pressed her on the cushioned soft chair.
Jiang Libai didn't notice for a while, and fell down.
Her hands were locked above her head, unable to move.
The touch of her lips was so intense that she almost couldn't breathe.
She bit the tip of Gu Yun's tongue lightly, trying to wake up Gu Yun's mind with pain.
They are still in the carriage!
She doesn't want to be like this with Gu Yun here, if someone outside hears it, wouldn't it be too shameful!
"Smelly rascal... you are sober... a little... um..."
She wanted to say something more, but the dense warmth on her collarbone made her breathe out, and she couldn't say another word.
Infected by Gu Yun's enthusiasm, Jiang Libai's whole body became hot. The little face is flushed, the tails of the eyes are full of affection, and she is as soft as a forest elf, which is very cute.
As soon as it got dark, the carriage returned to Seventh Princess' Mansion.
The wooden paddle didn't hear what was going on in the carriage, and he just drove the carriage into the backyard.
After stopping, he hurriedly asked Chun Xi to take the others down.
"...You mean the princess and the son-in-law are inside...?" Hearing what the wooden paddle said, Chunxi was shocked, unbelievable, and couldn't believe that her Seventh Princess could be like this...
Although quite surprised, she still commanded the nanny to take the little princess back, and ordered the other servants to retreat in a low voice.
After leaving the world to the loving young couple, she looked back at the extremely peaceful carriage, and then shook her head troubledly.
"Oh... it really is different after being married..."
