Chapter 30
Knowing that Xiao Xinghan cared about her, Gu Yanling was extremely attentive to Xiao Xinghan.
"Master, are you thirsty?"
While Xiao Xinghan was reading, he fed him snacks, brought him tea, and kissed him from time to time.
Xiao Xinghan: "..."
Gu Yanling: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Xinghan put down the book in his hand and said, "If you feel bored, you can go out for a walk. You don't have to stay here with me."
Gu Yanling didn't pretend for long before her true colors were revealed: "Master, what are you talking about? I just like being with you. I think you don't want me to accompany you because I'm disturbing you reading!"
Xiao Xinghan: "What did your elder brother Chang Feng say to you again?"
Gu Yanling leaned on the table with her arms propped up and stared at him: "How did you know I was talking to Brother Chang Feng?"
Not only did he know that the two of them had been chatting for a long time in the pavilion, he also knew that Gu Yanling had given Chang Feng a sachet before coming over.
Xiao Xinghan: "Someone will report the affairs of this mansion."
Gu Yanling snorted, "Whose business is this in the mansion? You better explain clearly whether it's just my business. I was wondering how come you even know exactly how many bowls of rice and soup I eat."
That was indeed Gu Yanling's every move, such as how she taught that stupid bird to say something bad about him in the side room yesterday, how she fiddled with a few flowers in the flower garden today, or how she fished in the pond for a long time but caught nothing, and then threw her fishing rod up a tree in frustration. He knew all of this, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not interested in anything else.
Xiao Xinghan picked up the book and ignored him again.
Gu Yanling threw the book aside, hugged his arm and pulled him up: "Master, stop reading, let's go out for a walk. You accompany me. At worst, we can just not go to a crowded place."
After he said this, Xiao Xinghan was pulled up by him and said, "In that case, I will go out for a walk with you."
Gu Yanling smoothed his sleeves and coaxed him with sweet words: "Young Master is so good to Yuanbao. Yuanbao likes Young Master the most."
The corners of Xiao Xinghan's lips rose slightly in a reserved manner, but soon returned to normal.
Li Youfu saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was about to leave the house and was about to call Chang Feng, but Gu Yanling waved her hand and said, "The young master and I are not going far, we are just taking a stroll, you don't have to follow us."
"this……"
Xiao Xinghan: "No need to follow."
Li Youfu couldn't help but worry: "You left the house alone——"
Gu Yanling had also witnessed how they protected Xiao Xinghan like their own eyes. They even tested the wine with a silver needle when drinking outside, and not only that, they also tested the poison on themselves. It seemed that Xiao Xinghan's life was really precious. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Then you should follow me. The young master is so precious. I can't afford to compensate him if he gets hurt."
Xiao Xinghan said calmly: "No need to follow."
Seeing Xiao Xinghan start to walk away, Gu Yanling hurriedly followed him, "I'm telling you, Master, with your skills, why are they so worried? If they really encountered danger, even you wouldn't be their opponent. Even if you brought Brother Chang Feng with you, it wouldn't be any use. Brother Chang Feng isn't as good as you."
Xiao Xinghan glanced at him and said, "How do you know he's not as good as me?"
Gu Yanling smiled and said, "I knew it. In my heart, the young master is the most powerful."
Just praise it, who doesn't like to hear flattery?
Xiao Xinghan said, "Slippery tongue."
Gu Yanling, who was hugging his arm, immediately let go after hearing what he said: "You are so unromantic. Where did you read all the books?"
I read so many books all day! They're all gone!
Xiao Xinghan: "You're cursing me in your heart again."
Gu Yanling took his hand and placed it on her chest: "God is my conscience, I like the young master so much that I can't wait to scold him."
Xiao Xinghan withdrew his hand and refused to fall for his trick.
Gu Yanling made a face at his back and trotted after him, "Master, wait for me."
When going out with Xiao Xinghan, Gu Yanling could do nothing but behave herself.
"Master, wait a minute. The roasted chestnuts there are delicious. I'll go buy a bag."
Xiao Xinghan: "Yeah."
Gu Yanling quickly bought a pack, tasted one herself, and then took another one and fed it to Xiao Xinghan's mouth, "I've tried it for you, don't worry, it's not poisonous."
Xiao Xinghan: "..."
"Master, what are you looking at?"
Gu Qifu looked across the street with a complicated expression, and sighed with his servant, "Look at those two people in public, they are really immoral!"
The servant followed the master's gaze and saw two men standing in front of the roasted chestnut shop. One of them was smiling and climbing onto the other man's neck, feeding him chestnuts. Anyone could tell from their intimate behavior that they had an improper relationship.
It's just that this short man's appearance doesn't match the other one very well.
Apparently, Gu Qifu thought the same thing and shook his head: "It's really strange. This is the first time I've seen someone like this."
After all, homosexuality is prevalent here, so it's not a big deal. It's just that the male favorites kept by those dignitaries are all petite, fair-skinned, and look like beautiful women.
This is too rare.
"Master, perhaps that young man has a unique taste."
Gu Qifu: "Fortunately, our Yan'er is not only a little uneducated, but also not like these young masters who don't learn well! Speaking of Yan'er, he has been in Yaowang Valley for so long, why hasn't he written a letter home? His mother was still nagging him yesterday. This child, he is already this age, and if he doesn't get married, other people of his age will have children crawling on the ground. And his sister, neither of these sisters makes me worry."
He couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned his children.
After Gu Yanling finished feeding Xiao Xinghan, she stood on tiptoe and gave him a kiss. Then she turned around and met his father's disgusted gaze across the street. He was almost pointing at the two of them and saying that the world was going downhill and they were shameless.
“…”
Gu Yanling didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that she would meet his father while shopping. Once again, she felt that she really couldn't be recognized by his parents even when she was in front of him.
Seeing him suddenly look smug, Xiao Xinghan asked, "What are you looking at?"
Gu Yanling: "It's okay. Oh, I'm really awesome."
Xiao Xinghan heard him sigh without any reason: "..."
Gu Yanling: "Let's go, there are delicious foods over there too."
Xiao Xinghan just let him do what he wanted.
Gu Yanling bought a bunch of snacks and took Xiao Xinghan to the theater. Knowing that Xiao Xinghan didn't like crowds, she took him to the private room on the second floor.
Xiao Xinghan saw that he was also familiar with this place, and he was very skilled and natural when giving the reward. Not to mention that Gu Yanling was not only literate, but also had smooth skin on his hands without even a callus, not to mention that his skin was soft and smooth, without any of the rough feeling of a servant working all day.
Gu Yanling poured a glass of wine for Xiao Xinghan, took a sip, and then put it in front of him. "Master, why are you staring at me?"
Xiao Xinghan: "Seeing you come here often?"
Gu Yanling knew that he could not pretend to be a servant. Although the disguise pill made his skin darker, it could not change the texture of his skin. After all, he was a pampered young master, so naturally he had delicate skin and tender flesh. Xiao Xinghan kept touching him all day long, but he could not tell. Therefore, he had a countermeasure in mind.
"Yes, to be honest, Master, I used to come from a wealthy family, but misfortunes happen all the time. My family encountered some problems, and now I am all alone."
Gu Yanling was not afraid that Xiao Xinghan would become suspicious and investigate. A man of his status did come from a well-off family, but his father was a gambler and lost all the family fortune. His mother was so angry that she left Yangzhou and returned to her hometown. Gu Yanling gave this man some silver and let him leave Yangzhou.
Xiao Xinghan stared at Gu Yanling for a while, as if judging whether he was lying again.
Gu Yanling felt no guilt at all and looked at him with blinking eyes.
After a moment, Xiao Xinghan spoke: "Who said you are alone now?"
Gu Yanling knew that he believed her, and began to speak in a pretentious tone again: "Now we have a young master, but he will eventually leave Yangzhou. Then I will still be alone. After all, I asked the young master what I would do if he left Yangzhou, and he said it all depends on my ability."
Xiao Xinghan: "Then you have to hold on tight."
Gu Yanling originally thought that he would coax her tenderly and sweetly, but she never expected him to still have this attitude. She was so angry that she poured herself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"What's so great about it? If you don't want to take me, then don't take me. I know the young master is a high-ranking official in the capital. I think he is just teasing me. It's my low status that makes me unworthy of the young master."
Xiao Xinghan pinched his puffy cheeks and said, "If I go back to Beijing without you, I'm afraid I'll be drowned by your tears."
Gu Yanling: "It's good to know. You've treated me like this and that. You want to abandon me after having fun with me? No way! If you don't take me with you, I will follow you even if I cry and shout. When I follow you to the capital, I will hang a banner at the gate of your mansion, saying that you played with me in Yangzhou. Don't think that because I am a man and can't get pregnant, you can treat me like this!"
The words sounded better than the songs. Gu Yanling almost believed that she loved Xiao Xinghan deeply and didn't want to be separated from him.
Xiao Xinghan: "So much to say."
Gu Yanling could tell that he was in a good mood. She despised him for being pretentious. It was obvious that he enjoyed hearing her say these words. "I can't compare to the young master who is quiet. It's not the first day that the young master has known me."
Xiao Xinghan: "Come here."
Gu Yanling stood up and sat on his lap: "Why did you call me over here?"
Xiao Xinghan coaxed him compassionately: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter even if you are not very capable. If you want to follow me back to the capital——"
Gu Yanling looked at him and said, "What do you mean if I want to, the young master doesn't want me to follow?"
Xiao Xinghan patted his little face: "Don't worry, I won't abandon you, I will take you back to Beijing."
Although it is noisy and chatters endlessly all day long, it can still be entertaining and entertaining to have around.
Gu Yanling took his hand away: "Words are not enough."
Xiao Xinghan took off the jade pendant from his waist and gave it to him: "This is a token of trust. If I don't take you back to the capital, you take this jade pendant and go to the capital by yourself. Take this jade pendant and go to the mansion at the innermost part of Chunjing Street to find it."
Xiao Xinghan is the crown prince. Although he lives in the East Palace, he also has a mansion in the city. The mansion on Chunjing Street is where he occasionally stays. Those who are in charge there can contact him in the palace.
Gu Yanling took the jade pendant. He knew what it was worth. It was very valuable and had excellent water content. Since Xiao Xinghan had given it to him, there was no reason for him not to accept it. He hung the jade pendant around his waist and put his arm around Xiao Xinghan's neck. "I was just joking. I trust the young master."
"Besides, the young master likes me so much now, how could he abandon me? What if he misses me at night? Who says I'm not capable? If I'm not capable, how could I serve the young master so comfortably?"
Xiao Xinghan grabbed his rebellious little hand and said, "You're a coward when the real thing comes."
Gu Yanling: "Who said that? I'm ready. Master, just wait."
Xiao Xinghan: "The pills in the bottle are almost gone. It's better to take them today than to wait for another day."
Gu Yanling: “…”
Xiao Xing sneered coldly.
