Chapter 61 Princess Hug

In the study, Gu Ci lit the oil lamp himself. Under the dim light, the flattering expression on the woman's face was clearly visible.

Gu Ci: What kind of evil is this?

Gu Ci sat down at the seat farthest away from Tang Zhao.

Tang Zhao pouted and glared at the man angrily, then walked forward with a bowl in one hand and a chair dragged laboriously with the other.

Slightly heavy.

The chair made a screeching sound as it dragged across the floor.

Gu Ci sighed, walked forward, picked up the chair and placed it opposite.

Tang Zhao moved forward again, and after sitting down he realized that the distance was a bit too close.

Gu Ci felt a little uncomfortable and turned his head slightly to avoid looking at him.

Tang Zhao was very satisfied. How does the word go? A long and intimate conversation.

If their relationship wasn't that close, she would have wanted to pull him into bed and cover herself with the quilt to talk.

After all, judging from the secret meeting on the lake island, the waters in the palace are very deep, and there may be people with ulterior motives in the Bitan Courtyard.

If even a word or two is missed, it will be detrimental to subsequent work.

Seeing the woman's wandering eyes, Gu Ci asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"

Tang Zhao blurted out, "Sleep with you!"

Gu Ci:.
There was silence in the room.

Chaohui Chaoyi, who were guarding outside the door, quietly moved away.

Tang Zhao held the oil bowl and explained anxiously, “No, I don’t want to sleep with you, I want to go to bed with you.”

Gu Ci continued to remain silent. What difference did it make?

What a difference! Tang Zhao looked at the handsome man in the dim light. Perhaps because he had just been woken up, a hint of laziness that he had never seen before appeared on his face, like a seductive male fox.

Tang Zhao, captivated by her beauty, asked, "How about we go to bed and talk?"

Gu Ci slowly turned his head to look at her. Tang Zhao smiled awkwardly, "It's just a suggestion."

If you don't want to, forget it.

Gu Ci stood up, moved the chair back three steps to a safe distance, and sat down again.

Tang Zhao felt that his mind was a little unclean at the moment. At most, she wanted to talk to the handsome man up close in bed, but anyone with a discerning eye could see what Gu Ci was thinking.

Oh man.

Gu Ci suppressed the urge to kick him out, and said in a voice that was nine parts anger and one part embarrassment, "What exactly are you doing here?"

Tang Zhao lowered his voice, tactfully skipping the previous topic, and stretched out his arms as if offering a treasure, "Look!"

Gu Ci had noticed what was in Tang Zhao's hand early in the morning and kept it in his hand like a treasure. Although he didn't understand what was so precious about a bowl of yellow liquid, he didn't inquire into it too much and politely avoided his gaze.

It was not until Tang Zhao brought the bowl of oil right under Gu Ci's nose that he took a closer look at it.

The porcelain bowl was half filled with a bright yellow liquid: translucent, somewhat sticky, and emitting a slight bean smell.

Tang Zhao took out a silver spoon from his arms.

Gu Ci paused before taking it. He held the bowl in his left hand and hesitantly scooped a small spoonful with his right hand. He tasted it and found that the bean smell was stronger and a bit greasy.

"How?" Tang Zhao asked expectantly.

"Nothing," Gu Ci said indifferently. He had been given tofu pudding before, which tasted very good even though it looked strange. But now he was given a bowl of fishy and greasy soup.

Are you still angry about the incident with the lake island?
Tang Zhao was anxious. "What do you mean by 'nothing'? Do you know how many soybeans I wasted in just a few days of pressing soybean oil?"

You, a warrior who only knows how to fight, have no idea about the hard work and sadness that we, who do research, experience!

"Soybean oil? Soybeans?" Gu Ci grasped the key words sharply.

Humph, Tang Zhao snorted coldly.

Gu Ci brought the bowl of oil to his nose and sniffed it carefully. Beneath the strong bean smell, there was a faint scent of sesame oil.

He scooped another spoonful and savored it slowly. It was indeed oil, without the aroma or the greasy smell of lard. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, "Is this soybean oil really edible?"

"Cooking it is definitely no problem," Tang Zhaocheng thought, "If you want to drink it raw, that's fine too."

"Let's go!" Gu Ci stood up, without moving the soybean oil in the bowl.

"what?"

"Go to the kitchen," Gu Ci lowered his eyes and looked at the soybean oil in the bowl, "fry two dishes."

Tang Zhao pointed to the sky outside and said, "Believe it or not, if we start a fire here, even the guard dog in the palace will know about it the next morning."

Now they are not in Luoyang. Besides them, there are Concubine Han and the couple Gu Yang and Gu Bai in the mansion, so there are many people and eyes.

Gu Ci frowned. He couldn't wait to try out this soybean oil. If it could really replace animal oil, then...

Gu Ci looked at the woman sitting on the chair with her legs crossed.

Tang Zhao looked at him arrogantly, his face full of the words: Beg me! If you beg me, I will help you.

Gu Ci pursed his lips, turned around and found a porcelain bottle on the shelf. He carefully poured soybean oil into it, put the lid on and put it in his arms. Then he walked to Tang Zhao, leaned over, picked up the woman and walked out of the room.

Tang Zhao, who was caught off guard and carried by a princess:?

Tang Zhao lowered his voice and said, "Gu Ci, put me down!" He felt so insecure!
Gu Ci turned a deaf ear to him, signaled to Chaohui and Chaoyi not to follow him, and carried Tang Zhao out of the small door.

By the back lake, Dongmei, who had been waiting, stared blankly at her brother-in-law holding the girl, who appeared in front of her from the other side of the lake in the blink of an eye.

Tang Zhao was so tired from beating Gu Ci that he crossed his arms and sulked.

Seeing Dongmei, Gu Ci knew that his guess was correct. This woman really had a backup plan. "Where are you going?"

Tang Zhao was so angry that he ignored him.

She had never been carried like a princess in her entire life, and she felt completely humiliated.

Gu Ci looked at Dongmei, who didn't react and subconsciously said, "Tofu shop."

Gu Ci nodded, changed his hug to an embrace, took the cloak from the maid's hand and wrapped the person tightly, then held her tightly in his arms, and disappeared into the night with a leap.

Dongmei was stunned for a moment before she realized that the girl had been taken away by her brother-in-law, and she hurriedly chased after him.

In the tofu shop, Xia Mo was busy preparing food in the kitchen, while Qiu Yu was standing at the door looking out.

Suddenly, a figure flashed by. Qiuyu was startled and looked closely. It turned out to be her brother-in-law.

Qiuyu breathed a sigh of relief. Her son-in-law had really come. Then she realized: No, where are the girl and Dongmei?
Gu Ci put the person in his arms down and pulled him out from his cloak and outer garment like peeling a banana.

There was no way. Winter was approaching and it was very cold at night. He was moving very fast and the person in his arms was shivering constantly.

He had no choice but to stop halfway, take off his coat and wrap the person in his arms with another layer.

Tang Zhao breathed in the fresh air eagerly while glaring at Gu Ci fiercely.

He hugged her so tightly that he almost suffocated her!

Gu Ci coughed lightly and looked away.

Qiuyu hurriedly helped the girl into the kitchen. Xiamo moved a small wooden chair next to the stove, poured hot water and put in the hot water bottle, making sure everything was in place.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Gu Ci moved a small stool and sat next to Tang Zhao.

Tang Zhao gave him the hot water in his hand.

Gu Ci was stunned.

"Hold it!" The man was only wearing a thin coat and would be even colder than her.

Deserve it.

Gu Ci took it after a while, lowered his head and took a big sip. The heat spread throughout his body, dispelling the chill of late autumn.

In a corner a hundred meters away from Prince Xuan's Mansion, the spring breeze stirred the charcoal brazier, waiting anxiously in the warm carriage.

Why hasn't the girl come yet?
