King Ding has been waiting outside the hall, he is afraid that if he enters, it will be bad if he attracts the emperor to get angry again.
Seeing everyone coming out, some people were happy and others were worried, he saw Gentiana Qin from inside.
Although she is not the kind of woman who is stunning at first glance, for some reason, she always catches his attention immediately, like a white plum in the snow. At first glance, she is just pure and graceful, but the calmness and gentleness exuding in her bones moved him.
He took a few steps to greet him, "How is the emperor's grandfather?"
"It's much better, I'm arguing with the master." Qin Gentian replied helplessly.
The two old children simply hated seeing each other.
Gu Jiuxiao smiled, and from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Liu Pingting, who was held in Kang Wang's arms, staring at him in a daze, and turned away after meeting his gaze. He suddenly became a little impatient with her pretentiousness and shamelessness, turned around slightly, put his arms on Qin Geng's shoulders, and protected her from walking. From Liu Pingting's point of view, it seemed that Prince Ding was embracing Princess Ding.
Liu Pingting gritted her teeth, feeling sore and astringent in her heart.
Kang Wang saw that she was fixedly looking in Ding Wang's direction, and he followed suit, sighing, "Second elder brother and second sister-in-law have a much deeper relationship."
Liu Pingting looked away, and sneered, "Your lord, do you think seeing is believing? Ding Wang and his wife were arguing about reconciling not long ago, but now they are just pretending in front of people."
His newlywed wife has always been soft-spoken and gentle, and has never been so sharp and vicious. King Kang stared at her blankly, was silent for a moment, and then persuaded, "I know that you are not feeling well and in a bad mood, but don't say such things in the future. If you provoke someone who wants to take advantage of you, it will be bad for you."
Liu Pingting's complexion changed slightly, she raised her hand to cover her heart, her voice lowered, "Pingting knows."
Naturally, Gu Jiuxiao and Qin Geng did not know about the quarrel between Kang Wang and his wife.
The two of them were walking out of the palace. Seeing that King Ding's hand was still on her shoulder, Qin Geng turned her head and glanced back in a protective posture, and lightly bumped his chest with her elbow, "Kang Wang and Concubine Kang have already left, so there is no need to act like that anymore?"
She still remembered what King Ding said, that they would pretend to be affectionate in front of King Kang, so when he put his hand up, she didn't refuse.
Gu Jiuxiao was stunned for a moment, the five fingers of his hand on her shoulder curled up into a fist, and he put it down reluctantly, and said dryly, "Oh, it turned out to be gone, the princess has sharp eyes."
Qin Gentiana looked at him suspiciously, and distanced himself from him, "By the way, what is the origin of that orchid, and why does the emperor treat it like his life?"
"It's fine to ask the king, but don't ask the imperial grandfather face to face." Gu Jiuxiao immediately gave her a warning look, really afraid that the imperial grandfather would lock her in the palace in a fit of anger.
Qin Gentiana coughed subconsciously.
"This matter is taboo in the palace, and I don't know the specifics. I only heard that it was a gift from the beloved of the emperor's grandfather." Gu Jiuxiao looked calm and warned her, "In short, you should be less curious."
The implication is to tell her not to inquire.
Qin Gentian knew that the two of them were now one body, one was prosperous and the other was damaged, so he nodded.
Seeing her well-behaved, Gu Jiuxiao curled her thin lips lightly, and smiled slowly, "Mr. stayed in the palace, will the princess still have classes tomorrow?"
"Master, let me take a day off." Qin Gentian replied without raising her head, her attention was attracted by the relic hanging around her neck, it was starting to get hot, she held the relic anxiously, not understanding what was wrong.
"Then tomorrow..."
"I'm going to visit Kaiyuan Temple tomorrow." Qin Jia didn't hear what he was going to say, and was startled when he finished speaking, "What did the prince just say?"
Gu Jiuxiao pursed his lips, "It's nothing."
He didn't know that the impulse in his heart just now was to ask her out for a stroll.
Qin Geng did not doubt that he was there, and got into the carriage with him, she suddenly thought of something, leaned against the wall of the carriage and said, "Grandpa Huang entrusted King Ping with the task of supervising the people behind the scenes."
Gu Jiuxiao was taken aback for a moment, but was a little surprised, "I thought it would be King Kang."
Qin Gentile raised his hand to lift the curtains of the car, and seeing the carriage of King Kang's Mansion not far away, he couldn't help twitching the corner of his lower lip, with a half-smile, "Concubine Kang hopes that King Kang will take over the errand."
She put down the curtain and turned her face back, "You don't know that Concubine Kang was in the Qingyuan Palace just now, she was frightened and out of breath."
Seeing that Gu Jiuxiao's face was calm and not panicked, Qin Geng gave him a strange look, "Your sweetheart is frightened and angry, and you're not in a hurry?"
"Huh?" Gu Jiuxiao opened and closed his eyes, "Since I married my third younger brother, this king has nothing to do with her."
Besides, he would treat Liu Pingting with all his heart, but he mistook her as his savior, and that was a feeling based on kindness, not love.
Although he doesn't understand love, he can still tell the difference between kindness and family affection.
Gentiana Qin didn't believe it. She rubbed her fingers over the slightly hot Buddha bone relic, and said with a light smile, "Then do you know why Princess Kang is frightened?"
Gu Jiuxiao froze for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at her.
"She saw the intact orchid in my hand."
Gu Jiuxiao's eyes changed, and his face became condensed, "What do you mean?"
