The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 207

After Uncle Gu retreated, Lin Qingqian wandered around in Liyuan's yard.

She used to come here almost every day, but since Gu Changgeng was gone, she rarely came here.

This place is obviously very familiar, but there seems to be a sense of strangeness.

The swing is still hanging under the willow tree, the lotus pond is empty, and the dug hole is still blocked by bundles of firewood...

Turning around, Lin Qingqian's footsteps stopped under the plum tree in the courtyard.

The plum blossoms have already withered, and they are not used in previous years. This year's plum trees bear plums.

In previous years, the plum blossoms were folded by Lin Qingqian and failed to bear fruit. After Gu Changgeng was no longer in the Prime Minister's Mansion this year, Lin Qingqian never folded them again, but now they have yielded a lot.

Lin Qingqian stretched out her hand and pulled down the branch. Seeing Chunxia, ​​she couldn't help but said: "Miss, it will take two months for the plums to ripen. Picking them now is astringent."

"I didn't want to pick it off."

"Miss, this is..."

Lin Qingqian let go, and said, "It's okay, just take a look, let's go, let's go back to Liuyuan."

"Yes, ma'am."

……

Another ten days passed.

Gu Changgeng tried to find an opportunity to visit Jiang Yunting's residence again, but since the last night visit was discovered, many soldiers were sent to guard Jiang Yunting's residence, so he could only temporarily give up his plan to go again.

Gu Changgeng was on duty in the palace, most of them were with Shen Fei, some people wanted to embarrass him secretly, but they couldn't succeed because of Shen Fei's intervention.

Although Shen Fei is only a school lieutenant now, but his status as the son of Pingyang Houfu is there, who dares to offend at will.

"Shen Fei, I saw you talking with someone today. It seems that the clothes are servants of your Pingyang Marquis Mansion, why? The Marquis is reluctant to let you suffer, and agreed to let you go back to the mansion?"

Shen Fei crossed Erlang's legs and replied casually: "No, it's my mother who misses me and wants me to go back and see her."

"Then you won't go back?"

"Not going back, my father said, unless I am willing to continue taking the imperial examination and become an official in the court, otherwise I will not step into Pingyanghou's mansion."

Yang Yutang laughed when he heard that, "Then it can't be like this forever, why don't you go back to the Marquis Mansion, don't you miss your mother?"

"I want to return, but I can't lower my head than my father first..."

While speaking, Shen Fei looked at Gu Changgeng who was on the opposite bed, raised his voice and asked, "Chang Geng, you have been in the barracks for so long, do you want to be clear?"

Gu Changgeng's eyelashes trembled slightly, he pursed the corners of his lips, and remained silent.

Shen Fei couldn't see his expression, put his arms under his head, let out a long sigh, and said, "I knew you wouldn't think about Qingqian, you are indifferent to everyone... But Qingqian trusts your elder brother so much, she should miss him You."

Gu Changgeng's thin lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.

Yang Yutang caught it out of the corner of his eye, and asked in confusion, "Chang Geng, what did you just say?"

Gu Changgeng said: "No."

Yang Yutang thought he was wrong, so he said "oh", but he didn't feel relieved.

As everyone knows, just now Gu Changgeng silently mouthed a word, thinking.

……

Three more days passed.

Qiu Dong came in from the door, blessed her body and saluted, "Miss."

Lin Qingqian turned her head and said, "Who was talking outside just now?"

"Miss Hui, it's Nanny Zhang."

"Nurse Zhang? But what's the matter with grandma?"

Qiu Dong said: "Nurse Zhang came to say that tomorrow is the eighth princess's birthday, the queen held a birthday banquet for her in the imperial garden, and invited ladies and wives from various prefectures to go, the old lady asked the lady to prepare, and tomorrow will be with her and the fourth lady Let's enter the palace together."

Lin Qingqian's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she thought to herself: Gu Changgeng has become a soldier of the Imperial Forest Army, so he should be on duty in the palace. Will we be able to see him tomorrow?

"Well, please call back to grandma for me, I understand."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Qiudong withdrew, Chunxia helped Lin Qingqian comb her hair, and said, "It seems that Miss is very happy to enter the palace tomorrow. Since Mr. Gu is not in the mansion, Miss has been depressed."

Lin Qingqian smiled helplessly, and said: "You think too much, it's because it was too cold a while ago, and I was frozen."

……

Early the next morning.

Lin Qingqian was wearing a long lotus root pink dress. She had a beautiful appearance, a gentle smile, and a graceful and elegant appearance.

Lin Qingrou was wearing a light purple long dress. Although her appearance was not inferior to Lin Qingqian's, but standing together, Lin Qingqian's temperament was even more outstanding.

After the two saluted the old lady, the old lady said lovingly: "Qingqian, come, let's ride in the same carriage with grandma."

"Yes, grandmother."

Seeing the two getting into the carriage, Lin Qingrou cast a bitter look, then turned and walked towards her carriage.

On the carriage, the old lady said: "Today is the eighth princess's birthday, and most of the family members are women. You don't have to be too cautious, but remember, don't offend the nobles in the palace."

Lin Qingqian said: "Yes, Qingqian understands."

The carriage drove for a stick of incense and stopped in front of the palace gate.

Everyone got off the carriage one after another and followed the eunuch leading the way to the imperial garden.

Along the way, Lin Qingqian used the corner of her eye to look at the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army who were on duty or patrolling, trying to see Gu Changgeng.

But all the way to the Royal Garden, she had never seen Gu Changgeng, so she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Fortunately, Su Yingxue was also there after entering the table in the Imperial Garden, and the two sat together.

"Qingqian, I knew you would definitely come today."

Lin Qingqian raised her eyes and smiled, "Yeah, I haven't seen you for a while, how are you lately?"

Su Yingxue smiled wryly and said, "Except for being forced by my father to go back to the capital these few days, I went to learn female celebrity and female ring... everything else is pretty good."

When Lin Qingqian heard this, her brows and eyes were slightly curved, and her eyes were full of smiles.

Su Yingxue is older than Lin Qingqian, but they are the same age, and they will grow up in a few months, no wonder Su's father is anxious to let her learn female red and so on.

While chatting, the Queen and Concubine Shu came. Although the two were amiable on the surface, they talked too much. Lin Qingwu wanted to be by Concubine Shu's side, so although others were not paying attention, he stared at Lin Qingqian twice, but twitched Don't leave to trouble Lin Qingqian.

Halfway through the banquet, Su Yingxue lowered her voice and said, "Let's go Qingqian, I'll take you to a place."

"But this banquet still..."

"It's okay, if we say our stomach is unwell, just go to the toilet."

Taking advantage of no one's attention, the two sneaked out of the banquet in the imperial garden.

Lin Qingqian asked in confusion: "Yingxue, where are you taking me?"

Su Yingxue turned her head and said with a smile: "Before entering the palace, I asked someone to find out that both Shen Fei and Gu Changgeng are on duty at the Nangong Gate, let's go and see them."

Lin Qingqian clenched her hands subconsciously, "Really?"

"Really, let's go."

When the two of them walked to the Nangong Gate, Su Yingxue saw Shen Fei who was leaning against the wall in a dawdly manner at a glance, waved to him, and shouted: "Shen Fei!"

Shen Fei looked up and saw the two of them, and quickly walked to the side of them, and said excitedly: "Yingxue, Qingqian, why are you here?"

"It's Princess Ten's birthday today, and the empress invited us into the palace to attend, so we'll stop by to see you."

"I see……"

Lin Qingqian looked around but did not see Gu Changgeng, frowned slightly, and asked, "Shizi Shen, where is Brother Changgeng? Does he not work with you?"

Shen Fei said: "Chang Geng just went on patrol, I'll take you to find him, he's right in front."

Shen Fei led Lin Qingqian and the others forward, and as expected, he encountered a patrolling Imperial Forest Army in front, and Shen Fei shouted at the top of his voice: "Chang Geng! Look who's coming!"
