Chapter 28 Chapter 28



Gu Jinke's fingers, holding the wine glass, tapped the wall of the glass occasionally, and his eyes were looking at the beauty outside with a wanton look.

If she didn't speak, Li Yuxin had to squat in a saluting posture and maintain a smile.

But he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong. He squatted there, his manners elegant and graceful, his eyes full of affection and sparkling as he looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He looked a little surprised and curious, but also a little in awe and worship of someone superior.

He seems to be just an outgoing nobleman with a lot of courage.

If we consider his previous deeds of bravely rescuing the young master of the Xue family and taking the lead in fundraising for Jinhe, this young man is affectionate, kind, brave, and comes from a noble family, so there is nothing wrong with him being bold and extroverted.

But...this is Li Yuxin.

Gu Jinke's usually cold eyebrows and eyes softened with a smile, and with the alcohol in his body, he looked even more hazy and lazy: "No need to be polite, you can come in and talk if you have something to say."

Li Yuxin's eyes lit up, he stood up, and walked forward with his personal servant, stepping slowly. When he smelled the lingering aroma of wine, he seemed to realize what he had disturbed, and immediately apologized, "Yuxin is sorry for disturbing your highness's elegant drinking pleasure."

His eyebrows drooped slightly, his eyes drooped, and he bit the corner of his lip. He looked very helpless and pitiful in his apologetic look. His fingers unconsciously stroked the cufflinks, and he looked very nervous.

The beauty's helpless look makes people feel pity. Even the strongest steel can be softened by her. People can't wait to hold her in their palms and coax and pamper her, making her eyes sparkle and smile.

Who could blame him?

Gu Jinke's cold brows softened, and he comforted him in a gentle voice, "No, I just sent Xun Ji down to get some wine. Sir, please take a seat. I wonder if you have eaten anything. Should I ask them to serve some more dishes?"

The young master's face across from her seemed to be suddenly lit up, radiant and bright. He suppressed some of his joy and raised his eyes to look at her, with the corners of his eyes and lips slightly curled up because of happiness: "Your Highness, no need, I have already had my meal. I am presumptuous to disturb Your Highness because..."

He paused for a moment, and Gu Jinke's eyes fell on him, and he continued very considerately: "Why is it?"

Li Yuxin hesitated for a moment, untied the purse hanging in front of her body, took out a small porcelain bottle from it, and held it tightly in her hand.

He glanced at Gu Jinke's arm that was injured from donating blood, his eyes were filled with genuine worry. "I saw your highness donating blood for the Fifth Highness in the palace before. The deep sisterly love is not as rumored by the outside world... I admire her very much. But on the palace road... I saw that your highness used the golden wound medicine but the bleeding still didn't stop. I think the golden wound medicine is not appropriate."

"Last time, Yu Xin was injured and was fortunate enough to receive a kind of golden medicine, which is very effective in stopping bleeding. Today, I want to present it to Your Highness when I see you. I hope it is suitable for Your Highness. I also hope that Your Highness will take care of your body and stay healthy for many years."

He raised his eyes and looked at Gu Jinke steadily, holding the porcelain bottle in both hands and presented the gift, his brows gradually changed from the charming and shy boy to solemn: "Only when Your Highness is in good health can we focus on government affairs with peace of mind, let the case like the military pay case come to light, and seek more welfare for the people of our Great Jin in the future."

Gu Jinke was stunned for a moment, then she laughed in surprise and emotion. She looked at Li Yuxin as if she had seen a close friend.

She reached out her hand to take the porcelain bottle from Li Yuxin's hand with care, and her fingers passed across Li Yuxin's palm like a dragonfly skimming the water, and then left as soon as they touched. Even the hazy feeling of drunkenness had dissipated a little: "Thank you, Master Li."

Li Yuxin smiled with his lips bent, and bowed again: "Then I won't disturb your highness, Yuxin will leave first."

Gu Jinke nodded slightly with some hesitation, his face showing some regret. It seemed that she could not find a suitable excuse to let him stay.

Li Yuxin left as if relieved of a heavy burden. He walked briskly with a smile of ease and satisfaction on his lips, as if he had fulfilled a wish. He quickly disappeared at the door of the box with his personal servant.

The fragrance was hard to find, Gu Jinke frowned slightly, and retracted his attention to look at the fine porcelain bottle in his hand. Perhaps because it was tightly held by Li Yuxin just now, the surface was still warm.

She unplugged it, took a look, and sniffed it again. Slowly, she couldn't help shaking her head and chuckled silently: "Li Yuxin!"

Xun Ji, who followed the shopkeeper around and brought back two jars of fine wine for His Highness, was stunned. He looked at Gu Jinke's smiling face and said hesitantly, "Your Highness?"

Why can His Highness smile so happily at a porcelain bottle? Your Highness seems to be in a better and better mood today?

"Hmm?" Gu Jinke turned around, his eyes fell on the two jars of wine in Xun Ji's hands, his eyes lit up: "Bring the wine."

Xun Ji came over with two jars of wine to fill Gu Jinke's glasses. Thinking of something, she asked, "Your Highness, nothing happened just now, right?"

Gu Jinke sniffed the rich aroma of wine, put away the fine porcelain bottle, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Well, I saw a beautiful and caring little fox."

Xun Ji immediately looked around and asked in surprise, "Are there still foxes here?"

Gu Jinke just smiled and said nothing.

After Li Yuxin left, he quickly returned to his own box. He rubbed his face and saw Xue Luan, who was full of admiration, giving him a thumbs up: "Axin, you are so amazing."

He was squatting by the door just now, but he saw the princess's final expressions of emotion and care.

It turns out that the fierce and cold prince can also have moments like this!

I guess he must have had a different impression of Xin, and this good impression accumulated over time...

Li Yuxin glared at him, interrupting his wild thoughts: "Okay, okay, let's go back, otherwise it will be too late and the mansion will be worried."

He wanted to leave so quickly, Xue Luan thought he was embarrassed, and looked at him jokingly: "Okay."

He took Li Yuxin's arm, and they walked downstairs together: "Xin, you are so beautiful and so good, His Highness will definitely like you."

Li Yuxin let him hold her arm, the corners of her lips curled up awkwardly, but her gaze, blocked by her drooping eyelashes, was calm and peaceful.

Will you like him?

He doesn't think so.

He has met too many women, and he can probably tell when one person has a crush on another.

That Princess Royal Highness...

He smiled a little.

Gu Jinke was drinking happily, but Gu Jinxiu felt a little uncomfortable.

In her imagination, after the Fifth Princess Gu Jinyun woke up, if she heard that it was she who provided the method and donated blood to save herself, she should be very grateful to her, and today's meeting should be very cordial.

After all, based on her daily understanding of the Fifth Princess Gu Jinyun, although this person is a bit arrogant, she also has the habits of a military general, that is, she will repay favors and is loyal and righteous.

But the Gu Jinyun she met today just glossed over this point. There was gratitude expressed, but it was far from the warmth and promises she had imagined.

Things weren't going smoothly, and she couldn't help but feel a little resentful. When she arrived at the residence of her Third Princess, she also had a frown on her face.

When she built her palace two years ago, she naturally assigned the first servants according to the routine, and they were carefully selected by Lord Xian Guijun.

She is a very gentle and considerate beauty named Qingxia. On weekdays, I am responsible for taking care of her daily life and helping her to relieve her stress.

Seeing his mistress frowning with a worried look on her face, he immediately fell on her lap, untied her long black hair, and let it flow down. He looked up at her timidly, "Master, is there something bothering you?"

He knew that his master liked him the most like this.

The beauty's long black hair was flowing, her eyebrows were gentle and timid, and her heart and eyes were filled with only her. Gu Jinxiu's eyes were filled with desire, and she finally smiled. She loosened her clothes and said, "Qingxia is so considerate of the master's heart, and most of the troubles will be forgotten."

Qingxia smiled gently, her eyes like spring water, and she considerately helped her master to undress with her slender hands. Her flexible body also lazily leaned against her master and touched him lightly, seeming to be close yet not too close.

Gu Jinxiu's eyes lit up with interest and she also stretched out her hand.

Inside the house, the clouds had cleared and the rain had stopped. Qingxia leaned against Gu Jinxiu with tears in her eyes, breathing softly. Gu Jinxiu ran her hands through his hair, her eyes full of satisfaction, and most of the depression in her chest disappeared: "Qingxia is indeed the most considerate."

Qingxia looked at her with admiration: "Your Highness is wise and brave."

Gu Jinxiu was very satisfied with the compliments, but she became cold again when she thought about the Fifth Princess's troubles. Qingxia quickly sensed her emotions and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, are you unhappy with the affairs of the court? Why don't you find a counselor to relieve your worries?"

Gu Jinxiu was stunned. She has been low-key and tolerant over the years, and has never done anything out of line. Not to mention keeping advisers, even her making friends or court officials is done in a very secretive manner.

Although I have learned my lessons well, I am really incapable of doing so because I have no one to advise me.

Qingxia's words immediately enlightened her. Even her mother had so many court officials working for her. If she had other plans, in addition to the connections she had made privately, she really needed a team that belonged only to her and was loyal to her.

This is reasonable and legal in the Jin Dynasty. Every princess can keep her own advisers, but they cannot be given ranks. If they are granted the title of king in the future and given fiefdoms, they can be given an official position.

Gu Jinxiu's eyes lit up. Now was the best time to recruit counselors. The autumn examination in the capital had just passed not long ago. If she started looking for counselors now, she would have great potential in both recruiting counselors and finding connections in the future court!

She couldn't help but smile: "Qingxia, good! Good! Good!" She hugged the man who was lying on her, her interest aroused again, and she immediately turned over and pressed the man down.

Qingxia looked at her happy expression, hugged her neck, and couldn't help laughing.

Gu Jinke finally got drunk and fell asleep, and was taken back by Xun Ji. Xin Shuang and Sang Yi couldn't help but worry after they met him: "Why didn't you try to stop His Highness from drinking?"

Xun Ji carried Gu Jinke on his back and put her on the bed in the bedroom, saying in a muffled voice, "Your Highness is happy today."

Xin Shuang was speechless immediately. Gu Jinke might smile or be cold on weekdays, but those who were with her day and night knew best that she had very few moments of true happiness, let alone drinking happily?

Since she is so happy today, let her be.

Gu Jinke was very quiet after falling asleep drunk, except for a slight redness on his cheeks, which was no different from a normal sleep. Sang Yi went to get some water, wrung out a towel and was about to wipe her face, but before Xun Ji could stop him, Gu Jinke had already clamped his hand in his sleep.

"Your Highness!" Xun Ji called out immediately.

Gu Jinke paused and let go of his hand.

Sang Yicai tentatively wiped her face clean. Fortunately, Gu Jinke closed her eyes and did not resist.

But her clothes were still intact, and she was sweating from drinking, so some sweat appeared on her forehead. Sang Yi looked at it for a while and frowned: "Your Highness's clothes?"

Xun Ji and Xin Shuang both shook their heads. Wiping the face was already the limit of what Gu Jinke could tolerate.

Sang Yi couldn't bear to see her suffer, so she reached out to unbutton her clothes. As expected, Gu Jinke grabbed her hands again. She opened her eyes alertly and sat up: "Who is taking advantage of me?"
