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

Chapter 305 The Plum Blossom Blooms For Her
Gu Changgeng was silent for a moment, then said: "You need to be on duty in the palace."

Shen Fei suddenly remembered, "Yeah, I almost forgot... But it just so happens that I don't want to go back to the Marquis Mansion, otherwise my father will read my ears till it's cocooned..."

After Shen Fei left, Gu Changgeng's mind came back to Lin Qingqian and what Gu Bo said that night to Ji.

"This plum blossom is about to bloom. The third lady came over the day before yesterday and was still talking about picking plum blossoms for her when the young master came back the next day. It seems that the third lady is going to be disappointed..."

……

On the eve of New Year's Eve.

"Miss, can we go now? Master Xiang, the old lady and the second young master are already in the main hall of the front yard, ready to watch the night together."

Lin Qingqian put on a thick cloak, rubbed her hands together, and said, "Well, let's go."

"Yes."

Chun Xia followed her to the main hall of the front yard. As soon as she entered, the old lady smiled and waved to her, "Qingqian, come and sit next to grandma. There is a brazier here, so it's warmer."

"Yes, grandmother."

Lin Qingqian walked up to the old lady, blessed her body first, and shouted: "Father, second brother, hello, ladies and gentlemen."

Lin Langtian nodded lightly, "Get up."

"Yes, thank you father."

Lin Qingyuan still didn't want to see Lin Qingqian, so he snorted coldly and said, "It's really a great face to have people wait for you every time you watch the New Year's Eve."

"Second brother, I'm sorry, Qingqian realized my mistake."

Lin Qingyuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the old lady's displeasure, "It's just that Qingqian is a little late, and it's not that she didn't come. You are the elder brother, so can't you be more forgiving to my sister?"

"Grandmother, I'm afraid she has never regarded me as an elder brother in her heart, she..."

Lin Langtian said: "Okay, don't say a few words, be more careful in the future."

Lin Qingqian lowered her eyebrows and said obediently, "Yes, my daughter remembers."

The old lady pulled Lin Qingqian to sit beside her and talked to her. Seeing Lin Qingrou beside her, her heart was full of unwillingness and resentment.

Nowadays, not only the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion try to curry favor with Lin Qingqian, but other aunts also do the same, they often flatter Lin Qingqian on weekdays.

Watching the new year was the same as in previous years, the old lady was tired, so Lin Qingqian helped her back to Jinglan Garden to rest, and then back to Willow Garden, when she passed by Liyuan, she stopped in her tracks.

In previous years, I stayed with Gu Changgeng to watch the New Year's Eve, but this year he was not here, so I felt a little uncomfortable.

Fascinated, Chun Xia reminded in a low voice: "Miss, let's go back to Liuyuan quickly, didn't you tell Sister Chun Xia and Miss Han Yue to prepare hot pot?"

Lin Qingqian laughed lightly upon hearing this.

"Are you hungry?"

Chun Xia bowed her head in embarrassment, "The servant did not..."

"Okay, let's go back quickly, we must have a good meal tonight!"

Back in Liuyuan, the hot pot was ready. Before eating, Lin Qingqian said, "Wait a minute, I'll go in and get something out."

Chun Xia and the others looked at each other with blank expressions.

Lin Qingqian came out and pushed the box in front of Chun Xia and the others. Inside were several earrings, bracelets and hairpins and other accessories: "You guys choose, this is what I'm going to give you."

"The winning money that Miss gave us?"

"The winning money will be given tomorrow. This is a gift for you."

Chunxia and Qiudong were so touched, their eyes were reddish and they said: "Thank you, miss."

"You're welcome, pick it quickly." Lin Qingqian said, "Han Yue, take a look, do you like it?"

Hanyue was quite surprised, "Do I have it too?"

"Of course, there are spring, summer, autumn and winter, why don't you?"

Hanyue felt a little strange, Gu Changgeng told her to follow Lin Qingqian around, she was a little dissatisfied at first, Lin Qingqian was not from Sun Moon Pavilion, but a delicate young lady, but Lin Qingqian treated her very well, never She was not treated as a servant.

Hanyue said sincerely: "Thank you, miss."

"Okay, let's pick quickly, and when we're done picking, let's eat!"

After eating, when it was already ugly, several people rubbed their chubby stomachs with satisfied faces, Lin Qingqian asked them to go down to rest, and save it for tomorrow.

Going back to the bedroom and lying down, Lin Qingqian thought, what is Gu Changgeng doing in the palace?Wouldn't you be on duty in the cold wind and heavy snow?

……

in the palace.

After Gu Changgeng finished his duty, it was already three quarters of ugly time.

Shen Fei rushed over excitedly, "Chang Geng, let's go, today is the day to watch the New Year's Eve, and it's the first time I'm not staying in the Hou Mansion, let's have a drink together, Han Ye is also here, let's go together."

I thought Gu Changgeng would agree, but he pushed Shen Fei's arm away from his shoulder and said: "You and Han Ye have a drink, I will go out of the palace."

"Leaving the palace? It's so late, why are you leaving the palace? If I remember correctly, you will be on duty tomorrow, right?"

"I'll be back before duty."

After finishing speaking, Gu Changgeng left without looking back, Shen Fei yelled at his back several times without pausing for a moment.

Shen Fei said with a depressed face: "It's still snowing here, isn't it cold? What are you going to do when you leave the palace..." He put his arms around Han Ye's shoulders, "Let's go, leave him alone, let's go drink, tonight Shou Sui, you must miss your family very much, it’s okay, you have brother to accompany you, you are not alone!”

Han Ye: "..."

When Gu Changgeng rushed back to the prime minister's mansion, it was already Yin time, he got off his horse, snow fell from his clothes.

From the hole he dug into the fenced garden, looking at the plum tree in full bloom in the yard, the tenderness in his eyes was particularly vivid in the ice and snow.

He once said that next year the plum tree will bloom for her again.

At daybreak, Uncle Gu got up early to clean the yard as usual, but when he came out, he saw a black figure standing under the plum tree in the yard. He was startled at first, and after seeing the man's face clearly, he shouted in surprise : "Master! You're back?!"

Gu Changgeng turned around, his hair and body were covered with snow, his clothes were wet by the snow, obviously he had stood in the snow for a long time.

He nodded slightly, "Uncle Gu."

Gu Bo walked up to him and looked at the folded branches of plum blossoms on the snow, "Master, what are you..."

"Later, you will send the plum blossoms to Liuyuan to Qingqian, and say that you folded them. If she wants to fold the remaining plum blossoms on the tree, remind her to ask the servant to fold them, and don't let her climb the tree by herself, and this... ..." Gu Changgeng took out a purse from his pocket, "This is more than money, and it is said that you gave it to me."

"Master, why don't you give it to the third lady yourself?"

Gu Changgeng's eyes flickered, "I don't want people to know that I have returned to the prime minister's residence, and I will return to the palace to be on duty soon."

"Master, you know that the third lady is ice-snow and smart. It is reasonable to say that the plum blossom was broken by the old slave. If the winning money is said to be given by the old slave, the third lady will definitely guess that it is you."

Gu Changgeng hesitated for a moment, "Then tell her, I gave you the winning money a month ago when I returned home, and I told her to hand it over to her today."

Uncle Gu looked at the folded plum blossoms on the snow, then looked at Gu Changgeng, and said, "The young master came back last night to fold the plum blossoms for the third miss, and prepared the winning money, so why don't you leave without seeing her? "

Gu Changgeng said: "No need."

"But……"

"Uncle Gu, I'm leaving, remember what I said just now, don't let Qingqian know that I broke the plum blossom."

Seeing that Gu Changgeng insisted, Gu Bo said helplessly, "Yes, young master."

Gu Changgeng came out of Liyuan and rode back to the palace.

He never closed his eyes for a day and a night, and rode for several hours in the wind and snow. He was tired, but it was enough to think of Lin Qingqian's sweet smile when he saw the plum blossoms.
