Chapter 14 Chapter 14



The two looked at each other, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.

Very tacit understanding.

The fundraiser will begin soon.

The previous content is very relaxing. Since you have come to the peony garden, you naturally want to appreciate the peonies. Pots of blooming peonies are brought up, in all their colors and shapes, all very beautiful.

Everyone present praised the peony loudly, some recited poems, some painted, praising the beauty of the peony.

The Third Princess Gu Jinxiu looked at Gu Jinke, who was leaning lazily on the main seat with a faint look, and asked, "Your Highness, don't you want to go down and take a look?"

Gu Jinke shook his head: "Just send the best ones to my residence, and I will appreciate them myself."

Her eyes swept across the crowd with disdain.

Gu Jinxiu was stunned and understood what she meant. Not only did she complain about being crowded, but she also wanted to eat and drink for free, and finally take away some precious peonies?

The most shameless!

But when she thought of something, her eyes flashed and she agreed.

It’s okay, it’s better to keep Gu Jinke here!

At the conclusion of the flower viewing, Gu Jinxiu looked at the blooming peonies in front of everyone and praised them endlessly. Then, she expressed her feelings of peace and prosperity in the Jin Dynasty based on the magnificent view of the peonies, and expressed her gratitude and praise for the empress's wisdom.

The idea of ​​being prepared for danger in times of peace and prosperity also reminded me of the people in the past who had nowhere to escape when the Jin Dynasty suffered natural disasters because the dams collapsed.

Her emotions could not help but become passionate and infectious. Finally, I sincerely hope that everyone can do their part to raise funds to build and reinforce the dam for the long term, so that the country can remain peaceful and the people can live in peace forever. We can meet again next year to appreciate the beautiful peonies together.

Her words were rich and her expressions were sincere and earnest. When she was moved, her eyes became red. Several young masters who were listening attentively even shed tears and hurriedly wiped their tears with handkerchiefs.

Li Yuxin's eyes also turned slightly red, which made his complexion even more red. He stood up first and set an example: "Your Highness the Third Princess said it well, be prepared for danger in times of peace. I am a humble boy, but I am willing to do my best to help. I hope that there will be no more displaced people along the Jin River!"

The young masters who came here all came from good families, so they naturally wouldn’t be short of money. They were already very moved by what they heard, and wanted to do their best to help.

Moreover, Mr. Li, who has been praised by everyone recently, has taken the lead in expressing his willingness to donate, so naturally there is no more concern, and they all responded: "I am willing, I am willing."

The donation box was placed on the table next to the Third Princess. Li Yuxin took the red envelope and walked over first to put it in. He pursed his eyes with a handkerchief and sobbed softly, "May the country be peaceful and the people be safe!"

Xue Luan followed closely behind, put the red seal in, and then went over to support Li Yuxin.

Several other young masters also put red envelopes in.

Jiang Mo also put a red envelope in the back, and compassion and hope flashed in his eyes.

He had seen people displaced by flooding caused by heavy rains.

Gu Jinxiu's eyes swept over the young masters one by one, thanking them, and finally her eyes stopped on Jiang Mo.

In a tone that was both praiseworthy and gentle, he said: "The men of our Great Jin have great love and great virtue! If men are like this, what about women?"

Her gaze turned towards the noble family.

One sentence immediately aroused the woman's desire to compare. Anyway, we have to donate more or less, and we can't donate less than these young masters.

Immediately, people from noble families swarmed over with thick red envelopes.

The third princess was surrounded in the middle, and a smile flashed across her eyes, feeling very proud. She subconsciously looked up and wanted to see Gu Jinke to see her current expression.

Who would have thought that in just a short while, she was no longer in her original position, and the high seat was empty, without any trace of her.

Gu Jinke, who was missed by Gu Jinxiu, was listening to Xun Ji's report in a secluded corner of the Peony Garden.

"Your Highness, the Fifth Princess was assassinated on her way back to the capital. She was knocked off her horse by the assassin's sword. Not only was she injured, she was also unconscious. Thanks to the quick-witted and desperately protected a lieutenant who was accompanying her, she was able to save her life. However, she is still unconscious at the official road post station."

After Xun Ji finished speaking, Gu Jinke rubbed his thumb and said, "Confirmed?"

Xun Ji nodded: "Our people have already been confirmed."

Gu Jinke frowned, "I always feel a little uneasy. Send someone to follow them and report any abnormalities immediately. When will the palace receive the news?"

"Two days later, they had already sent an urgent letter to the capital over a distance of 800 miles."

Gu Jinke hesitated for a moment and said, "Two days? Then let's wait and see. I feel like something is a little strange."

The Fifth Princess is quite skilled in martial arts, so how could she be knocked off her horse by an assassin with just one sword?

Even in a coma?

She was still thinking when she saw Xun Ji move and disappear.

Gu Jinke retracted his confused expression and his face turned pale.

A person came around the corner, dressed in fluttering white clothes, looking cool and elegant.

It turned out to be Jiang Mo.

Jiang Mo seemed surprised to see her as well. He bowed and saluted: "Mo greets His Highness."

The corners of his eyes were slightly red, as if Gu Jinxiu's speech just now had deeply touched him. This cold and immortal-like man was also moved, touched, and contaminated by the mundane world.

Gu Jinke nodded: "No need to be polite, Mr. Jiang, please do as you please."

She said this and was about to leave with her hands behind her back.

"Your Highness!" Jiang Mo called her.

"Is there something?" Gu Jinke turned around and looked at him.

Jiang Mo pursed his lips and said, "I heard that you took the job at the Dali Temple and built a mansion outside the palace. Mo has not yet congratulated you."

This was indeed something worth celebrating. Moving out of the palace and setting up a mansion meant that Gu Jinke had come of age and could get married. Accepting the assignment meant that she had taken on the position of princess and had begun her training.

Although the congratulations were given a little late, Gu Jinke nodded and accepted it.

After all, the friendship we had growing up in childhood is still there. When Jiang Mo was a child and hadn't become an ice cube yet, he was still very cute. At that time, he didn't know the difference between superiors and subordinates. He followed her around and took care of her for several years, calling her his elder sister. She was grateful.

"Thank you." After she finished speaking, she saw that he didn't say anything else, so she turned around and left without staying.

Jiang Mo stood there, biting his lip in self-blame.

His eyes dimmed.

It seems like he has ruined this rare opportunity again!

It was obviously very difficult to see her, but every time there was such a precious opportunity to meet her, after he mustered up the courage to say something, he was at a loss and didn't know what to do or say.

He was so stupid and always messed up everything, and he couldn't even let her stay for a moment.

He clenched his sleeves, his eyelashes trembled, and a crystal clear tear fell helplessly, landing on the bluestone slabs of the courtyard.

Jiang Mo blinked quickly, and his fingertips rubbed the end of his eye, leaving a thin red mark. He straightened his back subconsciously. He couldn't lose his composure. She wouldn't like it.

"Huh? What's wrong with you?" The girl's voice sounded surprised and hesitant.

Jiang Mo's body trembled. He subconsciously turned sideways to avoid her gaze and hide his embarrassment.

Gu Jinke came back to look for the jade pendant.

After walking a few steps forward, she found that the jade pendant on her waist was missing. She had just stopped here, so she turned back to look for it. Unexpectedly, she saw Jiang Mo here alone.

Are you crying?

This is Jiang Mo, who is usually cold and noble. He seems to be always as cold and as quiet as an immortal, elegant and decent, and calm in the face of emergencies.

That's why she asked out loud in surprise just now.

She hesitated for a moment, but still took out a clean Supa and handed it to him: "Here."

Jiang Mo handed over a handkerchief while lowering his eyes. His fingertips moved uncontrollably, and his body was faster than his brain. He took it and hurriedly said thank you in a low voice.

Gu Jinke hummed coldly, and found the jade pendant fallen on the grass where he had just stood. He picked it up, nodded, and left quickly.

Handing him the handkerchief was already a sign of soft-hearted gratitude, and it crossed the line.

No matter what happens, it is not her, Gu Jinke's business.

Since the hero of this book had inexplicably become cold to her at first, she is not prepared to get in touch with him again and become intimate with him now.

Especially at times like this.

Jiang Mo looked at the girl's hurried back and clenched the handkerchief in his hand.

The gloomy heart just now seemed to be roasted in a furnace, and in an instant it became hot and restless.

As soon as Gu Jinke turned around, he keenly noticed something wrong. The corner of a robe was exposed on the other side of the wall.

Her eyes were sharp, as if she was soaked in ice and snow: "Who is sneaking around there? Get out!"

The corner of the robe seemed to tremble in fear, and then quickly shrank behind the wall.

Gu Jinge sneered and said stubbornly: "Xun Ji!"

The wind moved, Xun Ji drew his sword, and a terrified scream suddenly came from the other side: "No, you can't kill me. If you dare to kill me, I will tell my mother!"

However, the man had already had Xun Ji's sword at his neck, and was forced to walk out tremblingly. Gu Jinke looked at him coldly, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

It was Xue Luan, the son of Xue Cang.

However, the young master, who usually lived a life of luxury, had turned pale due to Xun Ji's fright. The healthy blush on his face was gone, his round cheeks were wrinkled, and tears flowed down like a waterfall, he cried so pitifully and sadly.

Gu Jinke wanted to frown when he saw the tears, and couldn't help wondering whether he had made a mistake by coming here today to check on Gu Jinxiu's fundraising progress.

Sometimes I bump into this person who is crying, sometimes I bump into that person who is crying.

Although the latter one seemed to be scared to tears by them.

She frowned unconsciously, her beautiful and delicate face was as cold as ice, with some of the coldness she had just said still lingering.

Xue Luan looked at them with tearful eyes, and the things the two young masters in the carriage had said about her began to buzz in her ears.

In addition, the sword on his neck was icy cold and seemed like it could cut his neck at any time. He felt desperate for a moment: It seemed like he would not survive today!

It’s true what my mom said about curiosity killing the cat!

He was overwhelmed with grief and gave up on himself, thinking that since he was going to die anyway, he might as well die crying. Suddenly, she couldn't hold it back anymore, opened her mouth and burst into tears, her fair, round face turning a light pink due to her excitement.

His big round eyes were filled with tears.

The crying was deafening.

Gu Jinke took a deep breath to resist the urge to grind his teeth, and said coldly: "Haven't you learned not to look at or listen to anything indecent? How dare you cry here now?"

Perhaps out of fear, Xue Luan shouted without hesitation, "How would I know you were here?"

"Burp, I came here to see Master Jiang." He burped, and all of a sudden the fierce and aggressive tone in his voice disappeared, and his voice sounded like a child's coquettish voice.

After he said that, he couldn't help but pout, feeling even more aggrieved!

There is no momentum in arguing before death!

If I could do it again...

He will definitely kill her!

It’s a pity that it can’t happen again. Thinking of this, he let out a “wow…” and started crying again.

Gu Jinke: ...For a moment I was so angry that I almost laughed.

She couldn't help it and could only puff out her cheeks to hide her cold expression.

"I can choose not to kill you," she said.

Xue Luan's eyes lit up, and he looked over with eyes filled with tears, accompanied by uncontrollable sobs.

He didn't want to die yet. He wanted to eat a lot of food. He wanted to be with his mother and father and Li Yuxin. In the future, he wanted to marry a wife who was the best to him and have a lovely child.

"But what happened today..." He saw Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess's phoenix eyes looking at him indifferently.

"I understand! Hiccup~I understand!" He nodded vigorously.

"I didn't see anything, and I didn't hear anything. If I leak it, God will punish me with lightning!" He understood this. It was all said in the picture book. He should learn to play deaf and dumb and forget everything that happened today.

Gu Jinke: That’s good as long as you understand.

It's just right that she doesn't have to waste any more words.

Seeing him being so smart, Gu Jinke winked at Xun Ji, and Xun Ji drew back the sword. Xue Luan's tense nerves relaxed, his legs went limp, and he couldn't help falling into Gu Jinke's arms.

The author has something to say:

Hahahaha, it's the other young masters' turn~

Do you want Her Royal Highness to hold you? Or push him away?

Who is on this side?

I saw everyone’s comments. The male lead is buying stocks, so it’s undecided! !

Of course I like every one of them! ! ! !

I want to start a harem again~ I jump back and forth between each young master every day! !
