Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 108 Respect...Respect to my husband-in-law

Baili Jiuge looked at this scene, and couldn't help thinking of his good sister who once said that wherever Ziqi went, there was a miasma of smoke.Looking at it today, it is really true, and it is true.

Prime Minister Rong You picked up the glass with great difficulty and refilled the wine. Since the guests were present, he couldn't blame Ziqi any more.He could only cough a few times and wink at Rong Hui.

Rong Hui understood and smiled coquettishly at the guests.He said: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, our Right Prime Minister's Mansion has invited a girl to perform a dance for everyone, which can be regarded as adding to the fun."

He got up, clapped his hands three times, and shouted: "I invite the dancing fairy from Fangfei Hall, Miss Gu Lian."

Everyone present showed different expressions. After all, there was a lot of noise about Gu Lian and Mo Li a few days ago, and some dandies present were used to talking about these things, so they couldn't help but focus on Mo Li and Baili Jiuge here.

Baili Jiuge was speechless, subconsciously leaned to Mo Li's side, wrapped his arms around him, and murmured in a mosquito voice: "Why does the Youxiangfu love you so much? Please take care of me. The last time Rong Hui got married, I also asked you to take care of me." pity……"

A soft halo flowed through the moon-like pupils, and Mo Li smiled softly: "Are you uneasy?"

"A little..." Baili Jiuge admitted frankly, and said: "If Gu Lian gives you flowers again this time, you must not take them. You promised Bai Qiang that you will only have Baili Jiuge as a wife in this life." .”

Mo Li's smile deepened, and he freed up his other hand to pat the top of Baili Jiuge's head.

"Good," he said.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Lian came slowly.Her dress today was beyond everyone's expectations. It was plain and plain, wearing a clean coarse floral shirt and a pure-color snow satin skirt, pretending to be a beautiful and simple village girl.

She was carrying a flower basket full of flower branches, and she started dancing like this.

Stepping, leaping, turning, and bending, this exquisite dancing skill is amazing no matter how many times you watch it.

Carrying a flower basket, she walked through the worldly scenery, her mouth was as delicate as orchids, her hands were as delicate as jade, her pink lips were as delicate as petals, and she kissed the flying black hair.Those beautiful eyes like pearls were full of energy, and the long skirt was lifted up, layered on top of each other, making Gu Lian like a blooming lotus, eye-catching.

After the dance, there was another round of applause.

Gu Lian smiled and started what she must do after the dance - to thank every dancer for their blessings.

Walking in lotus steps, first Prime Minister Rong, then the wives around him, and then his children... After that, according to the seating order, it was Yin Haochen, Yin Liehuo... Every time she blessed each person, she took out a flower basket. Flowers, dedicated to the person in front of you.

Since this time was a family banquet in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, the arrangement of the seats was not so rigid, and the crowd actually formed a circle.Therefore, Gu Lian saluted all the way along this ring, and finally came to Mo Li and Baili Jiuge.

"Jiu Ge." She smiled as brightly as peaches and plums, clear and charming, but the depths of her eyes seemed to be covered by mist, which made Baili Jiu Ge's heart beat violently and became more and more uneasy.

He could only say: "Gu Lian, I didn't expect you to be invited to dance at Youxiang Mansion again. You danced really well. I've never seen it before. You're dressed up as a village girl!"

Gu Lian replied with a smile: "Perhaps I was too flashy in the past, and I was a little bored during this period, so I thought about changing the style, so that I can return to the basics in dancing."

"Well, I think this is also very good, it's so bright!" Baili Jiuge sincerely praised him, thinking that he must be supercilious, today's Gu Lian will not show his love to Mo Li again.

Gu Lian laughed and teased: "Jiu Ge, I'm pretty familiar with you anyway, so I won't thank you." He took out a flower from the flower basket and handed it over, "This flower Keep it, I just cut it out!"

"Okay, thank you!" Baili Jiuge took it lala.

This flower is really freshly cut, it is a snow-white hibiscus, it is big and pure, with some water droplets hanging on it, it is really beautiful.

Baili Jiuge couldn't help but bring Mu Furong to her lips, smelling the fragrance of flowers, and looking at Gu Lian.Seeing her walking lotus in front of Mo Li, blessed her body, "His Royal Highness."

Mo Li responded blankly: "Miss Gu."

Hearing his tone as calm as water, Gu Lian's complexion paled a little involuntarily, but still with a soft smile, he took out the last flower in the basket, held it between his fingers, and handed it to Mo Li.

At this moment, Baili Jiuge was no longer uneasy, seeing Gu Lian handing Mo Li flowers, he didn't pay much attention, but suddenly heard someone gasp.

The man seemed to have discovered something, and sighed suspiciously: "It turns out that Miss Gu's flower basket contained a lotus-colored hibiscus, and I thought it was all white."

Baili Jiuge was stunned, and then realized that the hibiscus that Gu Lian handed to Mo Li was indeed a different color from the others!
Akane.This made Baili Jiuge have to think of the pink lotus that Gu Lian handed to Mo Li last time. This seems to be the same thing at all!
Subconsciously shouted: "Mo Li, don't pick it up!"

The sound was so loud that it shook the entire hall brightly.For a moment, it seemed that everything was silent, and all eyes gathered here. Just like last time, several people were in an awkward situation.

The blood on Baili Jiuge's face was half faded, and he sneered angrily: "Gu Lian, what do you mean by this, why did you only give Mo Li a flower of Qian color? Mo Li won't pick it up!"

Gu Lian's gaze was hot and flickering, yet somewhat unbearably sad.

She coolly asked Mo Li: "His Royal Highness has already discredited me once, and I will never forget such humiliation. Today, I just want to confirm one thing with you. Your Royal Highness, would you rather insult me ​​again?" I won't take my flowers even once?"

Mo Li looked straight at Gu Lian indifferently, despite all the eyes around him, he was still at ease.

He said in a nonchalant manner: "I have stayed in the capital for more than a year, and I know some things in general. For example, among the female relatives of princes, grandsons, and dukes, it is red, which can only be worn by the royal family, while Qian color is just right. It is the color that the side room wears when it is accompanied by the main room."

Ask back: "Miss Gu, I also want to confirm one thing with you. Is this what you mean by letting me accept this hibiscus?"

Gu Lian didn't expect Mo Li to directly expose her, so she couldn't help being stunned, and ended her sentence.

The guests, of course, understood everything, and someone jokingly said: "Last time it was a lotus flower, this time it was a basket of hibiscus, anyway, the soup is not the medicine, Miss Gu still wants to be your side concubine for Prince Zhou. "

Baili Jiuge's face turned even paler, he stared at Gu Lian angrily, hugged Mo Li's arm and leaned closer, unintentionally, he assumed this possessive posture.Little did he know that in Yin Haochen's eyes, the pain was so painful that every time he took a breath, the pain spread throughout his body.

Gu Lian gritted her teeth, plucked up her courage, and asked Mo Li with a smile: "His Royal Highness, do you really have the heart? Have the heart to reject me again, so that from now on, I will never be able to be a human being again, and I will not even be able to be in Fangfei anymore." Living in the museum."

Mo Li did not speak.

Baili Jiuge couldn't help but said: "Gu Lian, you...why do you have to step in! There are so many good men in this world, why do you have to fight your back for Mo Li?!"

Gu Lian's smile was a bit bleak and helpless: "Jiu Ge, do you think I am happy doing this? Let me hurt you, and doing such a thing hurts me too. But, I am not reconciled! I am not reconciled that my efforts have not been rewarded, Not reconciled to being rejected and insulted by the person you like. Today, you say that I am going to fight with my back, I have no way out, do you have the heart to let me be doomed?"

"I—" Baili Jiuge was speechless.

Does she have the heart?How could she bear it!

However, how could she endure the man she liked marrying another woman?This is even more impossible!
He sneered: "One matter is another matter! The matter between you and me, you and I resolve it. As for the matter about Mo Li, if I disagree, even you don't want me to change my mind!"

Gu Lian smiled miserably, at the moment she was still holding the flower between her fingers, and handed it tremblingly in front of Mo Li, waiting for him to raise his hand and give her face back.

However, he didn't move for a long time, but he just looked at her lightly, and there was a darkness in his eyes that she couldn't read at all.

At this time, there was a guest who couldn't stand it anymore, and tried to persuade him: "Zhou Shizi, how cute you are to look after Miss Gu! You don't want it, we still want it, but the person who likes you is you. If you reject it once, you can come again. , How much courage is needed! Why are you so ignorant of flattery?"

"That's right! Why do you only guard one main concubine, and add another side concubine? Do you understand what is the blessing of Qi Ren!"

"Oh, it's just... so ignorant!"

Such whispers gradually became louder, and hearing Baili Jiuge's ears, her heart throbbed, and she wanted to rush over and kick those people away.

However, at this moment, a petite figure suddenly ran over from the opposite seat and snatched the Qian Se Mu Furong from Gu Lian's hand.

The guests were in an uproar.

Gu Lian was stunned.

Baili Jiuge was also stunned.Ziqi... what is this for?

It was Ziqi who took the flowers. He turned around and left with confidence, and complained as he walked: "Why are you arguing, it's so annoying! Do you only care about being happy when you get flowers? No one found Rong Yi There are no flowers!"

She bounced back to her seat, gave the flower she had snatched to Rong Yi, and said with a crackling voice, "Such a beautiful flower should be given to Rong Yi too, she is the lady of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, okay?" ?”

Deliberately made a face at Gu Lian, "Sister, do you have flowers of other colors? Give Rong Yi a few more flowers to play with, more colors will make it more lively!"

Gu Lian's face was completely white.

The guests were dumbfounded.

And Rong Xiang, almost turned over again.With the support of the two side rooms, he managed to sit still, and hurriedly coughed to smooth things over: "Zi...Miss Ziqi, if you want flowers, there are flowers in the backyard." He just wants to drive this crazy girl away go out!
But Zi Qi gave him a blank look, "I'm sorry, uncle, I suddenly don't want to look for it anymore, so let's play with Rong Yi first!"

Rong Youxiang finally couldn't help it, and fell back on the back of the chair.

Rong Wei-jun was speechless to support his forehead... Did the Rong family collectively owe Ziqi money in the previous life?But after thinking about it, he smiled like a bright mirror.Ziqi, oh Ziqi, is not only a troublemaker, but occasionally can have a positive effect.Just like this time, did it resolve the situation of Mo Li and Jiu Ge?
Gu Lian pursed her lips, almost speechless: "You...you...you actually..."

"What's the matter with me?" Zi Qi put his hips on his hips, and hummed with his tongue sticking out: "If you have nothing to do, don't call me, I still want to play with Rong Yi!"

"You..." Gu Lian became furious, and the flower basket was slammed down on Mo Li's desk.

She held back her tears, sobbed and ran away, rushing out the door, and from a distance, she could not stop crying loudly.

"Gu Lian!" Baili Jiuge stood up and was about to chase her out, but Mo Li grabbed her hand.

She was stunned, her heart felt as if it had been broken into pieces, she just felt that the knot with Gu Lian was becoming more and more entangled.Cutting constantly, the reasoning is still chaotic, just thinking about it makes her annoyed and blames herself, she doesn't know what to do.

But at this moment, she heard Mo Li coughing.

Baili Jiuge was startled, and quickly sat down, hugged Mo Li, and asked with concern: "What's the matter, are you feeling unwell?"

"Ahem..." Mo Li coughed lightly, frowned, and said with a smile: "Maybe the room is a bit stuffy, if you go out to breathe, it should be better."

"Then I'll help you out!" Baili Jiuge blurted out, carefully mixed with Mo Li, helped him up, thought for a while and said to the guests present: "Mo Li is not feeling well, I will accompany him to the back garden to have a fresh look." Breathe, everyone please continue, excuse me!"

Supporting him like this, he walked out slowly. When passing by Yin Haochen, Baili Jiuge couldn't help but glance at him.

At this moment, the pain and sorrow in his eyes were like a hammer hitting Baili Jiuge's heart hard, causing her to look away in pain and guilt.

After leaving the hall, under the illumination of those gorgeous palace lanterns, Baili Jiuge watched the road carefully, supported Mo Li, and walked along the gravel path.

Since she has been to the Rong's Mansion several times before, she knows the shortcut to the back garden. Presumably, the air there should be much better.

Thinking this way, he didn't notice that Mo Li's weak breathing had returned to normal.

The gentle night wind blowing the sleeves and temples of the two of them also brought a sweet scent, which Baili Jiuge could smell immediately, it was the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus.

"Jiu Ge, let's go over there." Mo Li pointed to the direction where the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus came from.

Baili Jiuge nodded, "Okay." He helped him over.

They came to a pool, and Mo Li clearly remembered that it was here last time, when he met Gu Lian, and even saw Gu Lian fall into the water... Thinking of this, his eyes darkened without a trace, and then looked at Baili Jiuge At that time, it was as soft as falling flowers.

"Nine Songs..."

"Ah?" She blinked stupidly, "Mo Li, you don't seem to be feeling bad anymore."

Mo Li smiled and replied: "It wasn't really uncomfortable at first, I just wanted to go out with you, talk, and pretend to be sick to deceive them."

It is so!

Baili Jiuge was stunned for a moment, his face turned red all of a sudden. "Okay..." It turned out that Mo Li wanted to be alone with her. This realization made her feel happy, like eating honey.

But... "But Mo Li, I feel like you didn't eat much at the banquet just now, aren't you hungry?"

Mo Li laughed: "Why are you hungry? You're full just by drinking tea. The food at Youxiang's Mansion is far worse than what you cook."

When Baili Jiuge heard it, he couldn't help laughing: "You turned out to be like my master and Gu Yan, and I spoiled my appetite! Especially Gu Yan, who likes the lotus leaf soup I made the most, Every time he comes back from outside, he complains to me that the lotus leaf soup outside is like slop, which is far worse than mine!"

She said, but because she thought of Gu Yan, her bright expression quickly dimmed.

Baili Jiuge murmured a little dejectedly: "Gu Yan... I don't know what's wrong, if Yuying has found him as you said, why hasn't there been any news for so long, maybe Gu Yan was seriously injured ...and Gu Lian..."

She couldn't help looking at the bright moon above her head, "Gu Lian and I used to be good sisters who talked about everything, but now they have become like this. The beauty of thousands of miles is still the same, but the surroundings have long been different."

Mo Li looked at her distressedly, sighed softly, took Baili Jiuge into his arms, and coaxed lovingly: "Don't think about it, no matter how difficult it is to solve, there will eventually be a turning point. I'm not happy with myself."

"Hmm..." She murmured softly, and nodded in Mo Li's arms.

The night breeze is cool, and the sweet osmanthus fragrance lingers around me.Baili Jiuge originally closed his eyes and felt Mo Li's embrace quietly, but he suddenly heard him ask: "That night, why did you go to Fangfei Hall with Prince Chen and get drunk?"

Baili Jiuge was startled, and left Mo Li's embrace, only then remembered that he had something important to say to Mo Li.

He said: "I went to find Yin Haochen that afternoon, and seeing that he was suffering from love, as soon as I couldn't bear it, I took off the human skin mask and showed him."

Mo Li's eyes changed, making Baili Jiuge a little embarrassed.

"I... I also picked it when I wanted to, so I told Yin Haochen the truth! He was deeply shocked, and wanted to drink away his sorrow, so he wanted me to accompany him to the Fangfei Pavilion, so that he would not return drunk. In my heart Treating him as a friend, how could I refuse an invitation from a friend? So I drank a lot..."

As he spoke, his face blushed a lot, and he raised his eyes and asked, "Mo Li, I was drunk that night, and I vaguely remember saying a lot of exaggerated things to you, in front of so many people. Mo Li, don't you Do you blame me?"

He shook his head, and whispered tenderly and pitifully: "What are you to blame? In a common saying, if you can't slap a slap, you will misunderstand me. There is also my reason for this. After all, the difference between you and me There are too many points, and conflicts and frictions are inevitable."

"I know." Baili Jiuge said: "But I believe that as long as the two of us can communicate more, listen to each other more, and discuss things more, gradually, we should be able to understand each other more and more with just one look. idea."

"Hmm..." Mo Li smiled softly, took Baili Jiuge's hand, stroked it lightly, and asked, "Why are your hands so cold? I saw you drinking during the banquet just now, and thought your hands would be cold." Warm up."

"I can't warm up, I'm scared cold by Gu Lian."

Baili Jiuge murmured and told the truth, but now for some reason, he suddenly became a bit greedy for alcohol, and said with a smile: "It would be great if there is wine now, just in line with the atmosphere here, I offer three glasses."

"Who is Jiuge going to honor?" he asked softly.

Baili Jiuge said without even thinking about it: "Is there any need to ask? Of course, the first cup is for the beautiful scenery of Liangchen! The second cup is for the bright moon and the breeze!"

"What about the third cup?"

"The third cup, toast..." Something flashed in my mind, and my face turned red all of a sudden.

This actually aroused Mo Li's interest, and he asked: "What are you respecting, Jiu Ge, why don't you talk?"

"Respect... respect..."

"what?"

She blushed unbearably, and simply shouted: "Respect... I respect you, my husband!"
