Chapter 32
Since we have to stay in the suburbs for two days this time, we are not as casual as before and we are not accompanied by many people.
Before getting on the carriage, Gu Yanling glanced and saw that there were several carriages following behind, and behind them was a team of people who were on patrol as usual. Not only that, there were also four servants from the courtyard, and even the cook and doctor from the mansion came.
We're just going out for a few days, why is there such a big fuss?
Seeing Gu Yanling's surprised face, Li Youfu explained, "Young Master is not used to using things from other places. Those carriages are filled with things that Young Master needs on a daily basis."
Gu Yanling really couldn't understand. This trip was too much trouble. He always brought a servant with him when he went out. This time, he told his family that he wanted to go back to Yaowang Valley to celebrate his senior brother's birthday, and asked the servant to bring gifts.
Li Youfu reminded him, "Hurry up and get on the carriage. If you delay any longer, you might not be able to make it before noon."
Gu Yanling stepped on a footstool and got into the carriage. Li Youfu closed the door and continued to drive outside with Chang Feng.
Xiao Xinghan was not reading this time, but making tea. The cup made his finger bones stand out clearly, like jade, and looked particularly beautiful. Gu Yanling's attention was immediately attracted and she sat down next to him.
Gu Yanling couldn't help but hold Xiao Xinghan's hands with both hands.
Xiao Xinghan looked at him calmly: "What are you doing?"
Gu Yanling pretended to spread Xiao Xinghan's right hand in her palm and said, "Let me read your palm."
Xiao Xinghan found it funny: "You can also read palms?"
Gu Yanling: "Of course! I've learned some before!"
He didn't learn things in depth. He just wanted to play around and learn everything, but he lost interest after learning the basics.
Xiao Xinghan: "Then take a look."
Gu Yanling rubbed his palm again and again, and then began to pinch Xiao Xinghan's fingers. It was these two fingers that really made him... wuwu.
"Master, your fingers are so long."
Xiao Xinghan pretended not to know: "Aren't you here to read my palm? Why are you touching my fingers?"
Gu Yanling said confidently: "What do you know! I call this bone touching!"
Xiao Xinghan: "But what did you find out?"
Gu Yanling began to examine him carefully and exclaimed in amazement, "Young Master, you have the appearance of being extremely wealthy and powerful. You can even get promoted in the future! It will be a higher position than your current one!"
Xiao Xinghan didn't take it seriously, thinking he was just talking nonsense again, thinking he was a high-ranking official in the court. However, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would inherit the throne in the future, so it could barely be considered a "promotion" as he said.
Gu Yanling took another closer look and said happily, "Young Master, you can live a hundred years!"
Xiao Xinghan just thought he was just sweet-talking him: "Anything else?"
Gu Yanling covered his mouth: "Don't disturb me, let me take another look, the young master's offspring is not prosperous——"
After Gu Yanling finished speaking, she quickly withdrew her hand and covered her mouth.
The carriage suddenly became quiet.
Xiao Xinghan didn't mind his disrespect. "Why are you feeling guilty? You're right. I still don't have any children."
Gu Yanling remedied it, "Master, don't worry too much. It's just not many. You still have offspring."
Xiao Xinghan pulled his cheeks to the sides: "Really? You are so good at fortune-telling, but have you ever read your own face?"
"You definitely can't show it to yourself, it will reveal the secret. I didn't show it to you for free just now." Gu Yanling was most annoyed by Xiao Xinghan pinching her face. She slapped his hand away, took the jade ring off his thumb, put it on her hand, and found that it was a circle bigger, so she put it back to him, "You have to pay me."
Xiao Xinghan was wearing a Panlong jade pendant today. After hearing what he said, he took it off and gave it to him.
Gu Yanling waved her hands quickly: "No, I already got a jade pendant from you yesterday, you can use that as a reward."
Xiao Xinghan: "Why don't I see you bring it?"
Gu Yanling: "I put it away. What if I lose such a precious jade pendant?"
Xiao Xinghan: "You still think it's precious? Don't even think about pawning it."
Gu Yanling: "What are you talking about, Master? I can't bear to pawn the things you gave me. They are all kept in my room."
Xiao Xinghan handed the Panlong jade pendant to Gu Yanling and put it on herself. "Put that one away, and you can take this one with you. It doesn't matter if you lose it."
Gu Yanling blinked her eyes, thinking that he was quite generous. The nonchalant tone was almost like asking him to play with it. "Is there something special about that jade pendant? I think this piece of jade is also valuable. How come you just kept it?"
That jade pendant was the only one of its kind in the world and had been blessed by the imperial master. It promised safety and prosperity to the wearer, so he had kept it with him since he was a child. Even though he didn't believe it, the royal family was declining, and his father and mother also cared about it.
Xiao Xinghan would not say this to Gu Yanling: "Just keep it well."
Gu Yanling: "I understand. I will keep it well. After all, it is a token of trust from the young master."
Having not slept well last night, Gu Yanling yawned and leaned on Xiao Xinghan's shoulder: "Master, I'm so sleepy."
Xiao Xinghan patted his cheek and said, "There's a couch in the inner room. Go and sleep for a while. I'll call you when we get there."
Gu Yanling felt a little lazy and said coquettishly, "Please carry me over. I don't want to move."
Xiao Xinghan: "..."
Xiao Xinghan finally picked him up horizontally. Gu Yanling's weight seemed so light to him. "You eat so much all day, where did it go?"
Gu Yanling snorted: "Master, you are too strong."
Xiao Xinghan put him on the couch and rubbed his butt, "There is some meat here."
Gu Yanling kicked off his shoes, lifted the blanket and crawled in, muttering, "It's time to let them see how serious and dignified the young master is in front of others, but how dishonest he is behind others."
Xiao Xinghan smiled but said nothing. He did not leave and sat on the couch. "Aren't you sleepy? Why don't you go to sleep?"
Gu Yanling raised her foot and kicked his waist through the blanket: "How can I sleep if you are here? Get out now."
Xiao Xinghan: "No rules."
Gu Yanling retracted her foot and turned sideways with her back to him: "I'm going to sleep."
Seeing that he was really sleepy, Xiao Xinghan got up and left. Gu Yanling woke up and just arrived at the farm in the suburbs.
This manor was specially built for dignitaries to live and play. The scenery inside is picturesque. You can go boating, enjoy flowers, ride horses and hunt. In the hot summer, it is a good place to escape the heat. There is a natural cold spring inside.
When Li Youfu heard Gu Yanling say she was coming to visit yesterday, he sent someone to tell the manager of the manor not to receive any other guests in the next few days. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince carries the badges of the six ministries when he goes out, so these people naturally dare not neglect him.
Gu Yanling said excitedly: "Let's eat hotpot tonight. In the afternoon we will go to the mountains to pick some mushrooms to make side dishes."
Xiao Xinghan gestured to Li Youfu.
Li Youfu: "I will go and tell the kitchen to prepare hotpot for dinner."
Gu Yanling clapped her hands and said, "I've already made plans. After picking mushrooms in the back mountains this afternoon, we'll go to the cold springs and ride horses tomorrow."
Xiao Xinghan had no objection, as he had come here to play with him.
After lunch, Gu Yanling couldn't wait to drag Xiao Xinghan into the mountains. Chang Feng and Li Youfu accompanied them. Yaowang Valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides. When Gu Yanling was a child, he often dragged his senior brother to wander in the mountains. Once he entered the mountains, he felt like a fish in water.
Gu Yanling said to Xiao Xinghan proudly, "You can't just pick mushrooms casually. Some mushrooms are poisonous and you can't touch them."
"You can ask me before you pick it."
Of course, Xiao Xinghan couldn't pick these things, not because of whether they were poisonous or not, but simply because he didn't want to dirty his hands. But Gu Yanling was having fun.
Li Youfu was responsible for carrying the basket and following Gu Yanling to pick up the mushrooms and wild vegetables he picked.
Chang Feng kept an eye on all sides to prevent snakes and insects from appearing, and stayed beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Gu Yanling had already picked a circle, and when she turned around, she saw Xiao Xinghan was far behind, so she ran over to pull him, but Xiao Xinghan blocked his dirty little hands with a fan.
Gu Yanling curled her lips and wiped her hands on her robe.
Xiao Xinghan: "..."
Li Youfu hurriedly took out a clean handkerchief and said, "Hey, I have a handkerchief here. Please don't wipe it with your robe."
Gu Yanling thought they were really particular. "Why don't you bring clean clothes? You can change into them after you finish soaking in the cold spring."
Chang Feng frowned and said, "It's better not to stay in this mountain for too long. I'm afraid there will be snakes and insects that might hurt people."
Li Youfu was also worried about this.
Gu Yanling: "Snakes and insects are afraid of people. They run away faster than anyone else when they see people. Don't be afraid. I brought insect repellent sachets with me. Do you see any insects along the way? There are not even any birds. Don't worry."
Chang Feng wanted to say something more, but Gu Yanling snorted, "Then you all go down the mountain, I'll play by myself."
These people are really boring.
Chang Feng saw that he was a little unhappy: "Yuanbao, I don't mean anything else."
Xiao Xinghan used his fan to push aside the obstructing branches and walked towards the mountain. Gu Yanling's expression immediately changed, and he said with a grin, "Master, I'm here to protect you."
Seeing this, Chang Feng and Li Youfu had no choice but to follow behind.
Li Youfu is good at coaxing people. From time to time, he would ask Gu Yanling whether these mushrooms could be picked. Sure enough, Gu Yanling started chattering again. When he came across wild vegetables and medicinal herbs, he would take the initiative to tell them about their therapeutic effects.
Xiao Xinghan was also listening quietly on the side.
Li Youfu really didn't expect Gu Yanling to know so much. Gu Yanling, getting carried away, started to say, "How would you, who are from the capital, know all this? It's normal for you to be so ignorant. I've been hanging around in the mountains since I was a child, so naturally I know a lot."
“…”
After showing off, Gu Yanling felt a little tired. After all, he was busy running around all the time. He was not a martial artist and did not have much physical strength. "Let's go to the cold spring to relax."
Xiao Xinghan: "Let's go."
Gu Yanling saw that Xiao Xinghan's clothes were clean and he was walking in the mountains as if he was strolling in the garden. Then she looked at her own clothes which were dirty and snorted in dissatisfaction.
Xiao Xinghan glanced at him and his lips moved up and down.
Gu Yanling understood his lip language. Xiao Xinghan said that he was like a wild monkey, which made Gu Yanling very angry. The corners of Xiao Xinghan's lips rose slightly.
Xiao Xinghan and Gu Yanling wanted to soak in the cold spring. Li Youfu and Chang Feng stopped dozens of meters away from the cold spring and did not follow them.
Gu Yanling called out, "Come together. This spring water can not only relieve fatigue, but also has the therapeutic effect of strengthening the body. It is very comfortable to soak in it."
Xiao Xinghan took the initiative to hold Gu Yanling's hand: "Let's go."
Gu Yanling thought about how strict these people were with their rules, so she had no choice but to say, "Then wait until we're done, then you can come and have a bath. Since we're here, it would be a shame not to experience it."
Xiao Xinghan pinched Gu Yanling's fingers. Gu Yanling looked at him with a small look: "Now you don't mind me being dirty anymore?"
Xiao Xinghan: "I thought you had no self-awareness."
Gu Yanling: “…”
When they reached the shore of the cold spring, Gu Yanling quickly stripped herself naked and was about to go into the water barefoot when she saw Xiao Xinghan acting like a young master waiting for someone to help him undress.
As Gu Yanling untied his belt, she said, "Young Master, could you please lift your noble arm?"
Xiao Xinghan lowered his eyes and looked at him: "You are becoming more and more presumptuous now."
Gu Yanling said shamelessly: "I am arrogant because of my favor. Isn't that what the young master likes me to be like this?"
Xiao Xinghan snorted coldly. After Gu Yanling took off his outer robe, she boldly stepped on his boots and said, "I won't help you take off your shoes. Take them off yourself, or call Li Youfu over."
After saying that, Gu Yanling went into the water, splashed some cool spring water to wash her face, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Xinghan sat on a stone pier nearby and took off his boots. He did not go naked like Gu Yanling, but went into the water with his underwear on. Gu Yanling splashed water on him as if playing a prank, "Master, why are you still wearing clothes?"
Xiao Xinghan raised his hand to wipe the water off his face, ignored him, and sat aside with his eyes closed to rest. Gu Yanling liked to tease him, so she ran over, sat on his lap, and kissed him on the lips.
Seeing that Xiao Xinghan still ignored her, she kissed along his jaw to his neck and opened her mouth to suck on his Adam's apple.
This trick works every time.
Seeing that he was like this, Xiao Xinghan couldn't remain indifferent. He pinched his jaw, put his index and middle fingers into Gu Yanling's mouth, and slowly played with his tongue.
Gu Yanling whimpered twice, unable to close her mouth, and her saliva covered Xiao Xinghan's hands.
Xiao Xinghan asked knowingly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Gu Yanling was frank and shyly took his hand and put it behind her back. Xiao Xinghan laughed in his heart, but he also followed his wish and kissed him.
Just like last night.
Not long after, Gu Yanling couldn't stop crying softly.
Xiao Xinghan teased him deliberately: "Uncomfortable? Then I won't do it."
Gu Yanling cried even harder and grabbed Xiao Xinghan's hand to prevent him from leaving. Xiao Xinghan thought to himself that she really knew how to enjoy it.
…
Gu Yanling once again felt the electric rush of pleasure throughout his body, and he thought to himself that if he had known it would be so comfortable, he wouldn't have been so worried all these days! !
Whatever he was thinking was written on his face, but Xiao Xinghan pretended not to see it.
The two of them stayed in the cold spring for half an hour before getting out. Gu Yanling's feet were exhausted. When she got out and was about to put on her clothes, she caught a glimpse of a green snake coiled on the stone pier behind Xiao Xinghan, sticking its head out and opening its mouth. At the critical moment, she hurriedly pulled Xiao Xinghan over and kicked it, "Master, be careful!"
Xiao Xinghan was pulled aside unexpectedly and saw that Gu Yanling's feet were entangled by a snake. He felt his breath was choked. The green snake spit out its tongue and quickly bit Gu Yanling's ankle, then fell to the ground and disappeared in a few seconds.
Gu Yanling knew that the snake she had identified was not poisonous, otherwise she wouldn't have bitten it directly. She did this purely to impress Xiao Xinghan. However, the bite did hurt. When Xiao Xinghan held her in his arms, she tearfully said, "Master, I've been bitten by a snake. Will I die?"
Xiao Xinghan quickly calmed down, carefully examined his wound, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't be afraid, this snake is not poisonous."
Gu Yanling buried herself in his arms and cried, "Wow, I was scared to death."
Xiao Xinghan naturally felt pity for him. He touched his head and softened his tone: "Be good, stop crying. Let's go back and call the doctor."
Gu Yanling had never heard him speak so gently before. She was so happy in her heart that she cried non-stop.
Even if the snake was non-venomous, at such a critical moment, facing the brightly colored snake, he risked his life to save Xiao Xinghan. This must have moved Xiao Xinghan to death!
