    127: Masked Prince Consort & Straw Princess (31)

    For some reason, Su Yan always felt that Gu Chengling was a little afraid of people from Tianyong Kingdom. Maybe he had some connection with people from Tianyong Kingdom.Thinking about it this way, she became somewhat interested in tonight’s palace banquet.

    “Is the princess in the room?” Just as she was thinking about things, she heard Gu Chengling’s questioning voice. The little maid replied “Yes”, and then the crystal curtain was opened, and Gu Chengling in a blue official uniform walked in. Su Yan looked at him doubtfully, but found that one side of his face was a little red, which was a bit obvious in contrast to his fair complexion. She couldn’t help but ask: “What happened to your face, was it beaten?”

    Gu Chengling walked to the table and sat down, saying nonchalantly: “Nothing.”

    Seeing that he refused to say anything, Su Yan didn’t ask further questions. She just didn’t know what happened to his face. It must be quite painful, right?

    “Why don’t you take care of your face?” After she finished speaking, she realized that Gu Chengling’s eyes were staring at her unblinkingly, as if there was a tiny light shining in them.She added, “I’m going to attend the palace banquet tonight, and I’m afraid that you will lose the face of the princess palace!”

    Gu Chengling suddenly laughed, “It turns out that the princess cares about me so much… It will embarrass the princess’s house, so I will take care of it.” After saying that, he took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and put it on the table. He looked at Su Yan and said, “Princess, come and apply medicine for me.”

    Su Yan’s heart tightened at the first half of what he said, and she couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him after hearing the last sentence, “What a beautiful idea!”

    Gu Chengling didn’t insist, he opened the cap of the bottle and started applying it.

    “What are you doing here?” Su Yan asked as she watched him apply the medicine.

    Gu Chengling paused and continued to paint, “If you have nothing to do, come and sit with the princess.” After coming back from the imperial sister, he always wanted to come and see her. It didn’t matter even if she said bad words to her. Who would have thought that there would be such a surprise, and Ayan was not completely merciless to him.

    “Is this palace’s room a place for you to relax? I have already moved out of the main courtyard. Do you want me to live in the side courtyard?” Su Yan was so angry that she couldn’t help but kick the stool he was sitting on.

    Gu Chengling couldn’t help but curled her lips again, “I told the princess a long time ago that when you are angry, you can come to your husband. The stool will not be given to the princess like your husband.”

    Su Yan obviously also remembered that she hurt her foot by kicking the stool that day. She hummed softly and ignored him. Instead, she asked the maid to come in and do her makeup. Although she had already done it when she got up in the morning, she was going to see an envoy from Tianyong Kingdom today, so she couldn’t be as casual as usual.

    She sat by the dressing table, and the little maid untied her hair and combed it carefully. After a while, Gu Chengling didn’t make any move to leave. Su Yan looked up and saw his focused eyes in the mirror. She even noticed that she saw him and smiled at her.

    Su Yan immediately lowered her head, her heart beating a little fast, but she said reluctantly: “Why don’t you leave? Isn’t this interesting?”

    “It’s indeed interesting.” Gu Chengling said gently.

    Su Yan curled her lips and ignored him again.After Su Yan finished cleaning up, she found that Gu Chengling had fallen asleep on the soft couch in the room at some point. His quiet and handsome sleeping face looked particularly beautiful, at least much more innocent and pleasing to the eye than his half-smiling look when he was awake.The redness and swelling on his cheeks had faded a lot, but they were still obvious. Maybe it was because his skin was too fair, Su Yan thought silently.

    Su Yan didn’t wake him up and went out quietly with her little maid. She didn’t know why she didn’t wake him up. Maybe it was because Gu Chengling was too harmless now.

    It wasn’t until Su Yan gently closed the door that Gu Chengling gently opened her eyes, her eyes full of smiles. She said she wanted to drive her away, but in the end she couldn’t bear to wake herself up. Maybe even she didn’t realize the softness in her heart.Thinking like this, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again, having a good dream. In the dream, Ayan finally admitted her feelings for him, and they grew old together, with children and grandchildren…

    “Hey, Gu Chengling, wake up soon, it’s time to leave for the palace!” Gu Chengling was woken up from his sweet dream by Su Yan, and he still had some unfinished thoughts. He sighed secretly in his heart. When will Ayan understand her feelings for him?

    ~~~~~~~~~~

    There was a lot of joy in the main hall. Su Yan and Gu Chengling were sitting under the emperor. As soon as she picked up a glass of wine, she was intercepted by Gu Chengling, “Princess, it is not appropriate to drink today.” She struggled twice, but failed to break away, so she had to put the glass down, but secretly glared at Gu Chengling.

    Gu Chengling said softly: “If you want to drink, I will drink with you when you get back.”

    “Who wants to drink with you!” Su Yan snorted angrily.

    Gu Chengling was about to continue saying something, but someone happened to greet him, so he had to deal with that person in a gentle manner.

    Su Yan was bored when she noticed a line of sight falling on her. She raised her eyes and looked over, but it was Lu Ze. He seemed to have something to express. Seeing her looking over, he nodded to the palace maid next to her. The palace maid stepped forward to add a plate of pastries for her and secretly handed her a note. Su Yan looked at Lu Ze doubtfully and saw him slightly nodding to her.

    Su Yan secretly opened the note and took a look. When she saw the content on the note, she almost laughed.In the past, she tried every means to meet him and coerced him to go to the Imperial Garden with her, but now he asked her to meet him in the Imperial Garden.

    It was funny, and she could guess some of Lu Ze’s purpose. It was probably for Gu Chengling’s matter. He had reminded her last time, and now he might have new clues. Thinking of this, she nodded lightly to Lu Ze, and Lu Ze looked away.

    At this time, the eunuch outside the palace gate reported: “Princess Tianyong has arrived.”

    Su Yan immediately sat upright and paid more attention.Princess Tianyong took the lead, wearing a fierce red dress, and with her stunning appearance, she looked gorgeous and flamboyant. The palace seemed to be brightened by her arrival.

    “See the Emperor Wuye.” Princess Tianyong said with cupped hands in the center of the palace, and then waved people to bring up boxes of gold and silverware, as well as treasures from Tianling and Earth. “This time, I specially brought some Tianyong specialties to show the goodwill between the two countries.” Princess Tianyong showed a heroic appearance in every move she made, unlike other women in the boudoir who were so coquettish.

    “Haha, I am very pleased that Princess Tianyong can come in person. I will give you a seat for the princess and all the envoys.”

    The person from Tianyong’s side thanked her and sat down on her seat, just opposite Su Yan. She raised her eyes and glanced at Su Yan, which seemed a little unfriendly.She never paid attention to Su Yan after that glance, and only talked to Emperor Wuye from time to time, but it seemed that she was more hostile to Emperor Wuye. Even she could see this. It made no sense that Emperor Wuye couldn’t see it, but he still had such a good attitude towards Princess Tianyong?
