100: Masked Prince Consort & Straw Princess (4)

Su Yan originally thought that the lotus cakes that Gu Chengling said were just talk, but when she woke up the next day, she found a box with exquisite packaging on the table. The little maid followed her gaze and looked over, beaming and saying: “The princess and the consort are really in love. The consort went to Bichunfang early this morning to queue up and bought the lotus cakes before going to the morning court.”

There was obvious flattery in the little maid’s tone, but Su Yan lowered her eyes. She didn’t know what Gu Chengling wanted to do. It was just a show in front of outsiders, but he went out of his way to buy it. She didn’t believe that the original owner treated him like that, and that he could still have love for the original owner. So, what was his purpose?

“Okay, you go down first, I want to be alone for a while.” Su Yan ordered a little irritably.She glanced at the exquisite sandalwood box on the table. Even the box was so carefully thought out, she didn’t know how delicious the contents would be.She accidentally opened the box, and the fragrance of lotus came to her nostrils. She couldn’t resist the temptation of sweets, so she picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. The soft and glutinous rice cake had a faint bitterness, sweet but not greasy, which was very suitable for her taste. When she came to her senses, she had already reached for the second piece.

She hurriedly retracted her hand, a trace of regret flashed in her eyes. She shouldn’t have been tempted. The original owner never touched the things Gu Chengling gave her, so what should she do?She had an idea and moved the other pieces around, filling in the gaps between them, so that it looked like they had not been touched.After doing all this, she carefully closed the lid and walked out of the room. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but eat…

Gu Chengling did not go home for lunch at noon. After he won the first prize, he became a princess. Although he served in the Hanlin Academy, his official position did not stop there. After all, according to the laws of this dynasty, the consort was not allowed to approach the center of power. Perhaps editing in the Hanlin Academy would be his lifelong position.

Su Yan was also tired of coping. It would have been better not to come back. She always felt that this prince-in-law was a bit unusual, and it was not just what he seemed on the surface. However, when faced with his approach, she would often get confused.

He also asked someone to bring a message back for dinner, saying that he was socializing with colleagues and would not come back to eat with her.When Gu Chengling came back, Su Yan was holding a storybook and leaning on the bedside, looking fascinated. When she saw him opening the door and coming in, she frowned and said displeased: “Did I say that you are not allowed to enter this room with the smell of alcohol? Have you forgotten? Don’t let me get out yet!”

Gu Chengling looked at the scene of the beauty frowning under the lamp, and his heart moved slightly. He walked towards the bed as if he was drunk. When he passed the box of lotus cakes, he stopped and asked inarticulately: “Princess… are the lotus cakes in Bichunfang delicious?”

Su Yan showed a look of disdain, “Do you think I would eat such shabby food?” She seemed to dislike him completely.

Gu Chengling was not affected at all, and still staggered towards Su Yan. Su Yan looked at his figure getting closer and closer, and couldn’t help but said warily: “Gu Chengling, what are you doing here?” She hurriedly sat up and stared at him, fearing that he would suddenly fall towards her.

However, Gu Chengling stopped awkwardly beside her bed, bent down and stared at her closely, his warm breath blowing on her face, with a strong smell of alcohol, Su Yan’s heart skipped a beat, she hurriedly moved back, distanced herself from him, and pretended to be stern: “Bold!”

Unexpectedly, Gu Chengling’s thin lips moved slightly the next moment, almost murmuring: “It’s so beautiful.” After saying that, he fell unsteadily towards Su Yan. Su Yan was thrown on the bed by him. In a panic, she pushed his shoulders with her hands and warned: “Be brave, get up for me!” But it didn’t help. Gu Chengling seemed to be drunk and unconscious.

Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief. If she continued like this, she would definitely fall into his trap!After using all her strength to push him away, Su Yan stood by the bed and glared at him angrily. She seemed to be annoyed and kicked him hard on the calf.She didn’t ask the maid to come in and clean up for Gu Chengling, but opened the door and walked out. Now she was not sure again. They all said they spoke the truth after drinking. Gu Chengling was able to say “so beautiful” to her after being drunk. Does it mean that he still likes the original owner in his heart?

After the door was closed, Gu Chengling’s closed eyes slowly opened. There was no hint of drunkenness in his clear eyes. He walked leisurely to the table, opened the delicate lid of the box, and took a quick look. It turned out that it was not touched at all.No… there should be nine yuan in a box. One piece was missing, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. Was it shabby…?

Su Yan didn’t go back to the bedroom all night, but slept in the guest room all night, not to mention how frustrated she felt. The bed in the guest room was far less comfortable than the one in the bedroom, but if she went back, she would either sleep in the same bed with Gu Chengling or sleep on a soft couch, neither of which was a wise move.

When Su Yan walked into the bedroom the next day, she thought that Gu Chengling had already gone to court, but she didn’t expect that he was sitting at the table with a pot of hot tea in front of him, as if he was waiting for her.Seeing her coming in, he stood up slowly and said, “Princess, I was rude yesterday. Please forgive me, Princess.” His voice was full of apology.

Su Yan snorted heavily and said displeasedly: “Gu Chengling, are you violating my bottom line again and again because I don’t dare to let outsiders know? You don’t have to come back next time if you drink. I don’t have the time to accompany you to be drunk!” After saying that, she sat on the stool and poured herself a cup of tea. From the corner of her eye, she saw Gu Chengling also sitting down with her, and she said dissatisfied: “Aren’t you going out yet?”

There was no trace of self-consciousness on Gu Chengling’s face. He looked at her with clear eyes and said warmly: “Princess, it was indeed my fault last night, and it won’t happen again in the future.”

Su Yan curled her lips helplessly. He apologized to herself like this, as if they were really a loving couple. It was really awkward.

“If you like to stay here, just stay alone!” After Su Yan said this, she stood up and slammed the door. Did he really have such a good temper?Or is it all just pretending?

According to the memory of the original owner, she came to Gu Chengling’s study alone, trying to find some clues. As soon as she entered the door, she went straight to the desk to check if there was anything suspicious on the table, but her eyes were firmly caught by a piece of paper. There was only a poem written on it, “There is no wind or rain or sunshine.” The writing style was sharp and sharp, which was completely different from his character. I didn’t expect that he was not only talented, but also wrote so well.

She didn’t spend too much time on his handwriting, but quickly looked for unusual places. However, except for some books and his copybooks, there was not a single personal letter in his study, and there was nothing wrong with it.But she felt there was a problem. The consort’s study was too clean.

Just as she was turning the desk into a mess, Gu Chengling pushed the door open and entered with a deep look in her eyes, “What are you doing, princess?”
