Qiao Mingyu temporarily dismissed the idea of adopting a child, and closed the door to live happily with Gu Lian.
The eldest nephew is not here, and finally there is no need to beware of bringing bad children all the time. After all, some things can't be done in front of children, cough, cough.
Gu Lianyi was flipping through a book on the big soft pillow, Qiao Mingyu ran over and squeezed a soft couch with her, reaching out and hugging her waist.
"What are you doing?" Gu Lian yawned and put the book on the small case aside.
Gu Lian had already finished washing up, but Qiao Mingyu ran away after dinner, and only finished bathing just now. Charcoal was burned in the house, it was very warm. Gu Lian started to feel sleepy after reading the book for a while.
"Nothing." Qiao Mingyu's eyes were bright.
Gu Lian couldn't help but smile, reached out and poked her face: "I still want to hide it from me."
Tomorrow is Shangyuan Festival, what Qiao Mingyu is doing now is clear at a glance. There are only a few left and right, just guess and guess.
Qiao Mingyu was not annoyed, she happily leaned over and kissed Gu Lian's face.
Since getting married, this shy princess seems to have completely abandoned her face.
Gu Lian held back a kiss, soft and beautiful. Qiao Mingyu suddenly became excited, picked him up and took him to bed.
With a flick of a finger, the swaying oil lamp in the distance was extinguished, and only a dim candle in the lampshade was still burning. The faint light replaced the moonlight that hadn't come out for a long time, illuminating the room with an ambiguous atmosphere.
"Ah Lian, it smells so good." Qiao Mingyu sniffed between Gu Lian's neck.
"Itching." Gu Lian pushed her away, "The fragrance is the pigling you used, not mine."
Hearing this, Qiao Mingyu raised his hand and smelled his own skin, as if it was indeed the case.
"Sudan said it's better to use some flower petals when taking a bath." Qiao Mingyu said solemnly while unbuttoning her clothes.
Gu Lian lay down on the bed and let her move. Hearing the words, he just wanted to say something when she touched his waist. The sensitive skin on the waist suddenly became numb, and Gu Lian couldn't help but tremble slightly, and it took a long time to calm down and breathe.
"It's useless to add petals." Gu Lian said in a low voice, "Next time I'll add some herbal juice and pour it in, it's good for the body."
Qiao Mingyu leaned over and hugged the skin on the side of Gu Lian's neck, kissing all the way to the collarbone: "What do you want in good health, that's called fun."
In the past, Qiao Mingyu only thought that it was relatively good to be honest when taking a bath. Today, after chatting with Su Dan for a while, he understood a lot. The petals have no practical effect, but the half-covered ones floating on the water are even more uncontrollable.
Her Royal Highness, who had never known about love, finally understood what love was.
If the sweetheart wants to play, Gu Lian will naturally not refuse. She stretched her arms around Qiao Mingyu's fragrant shoulders, and caressed slowly down her arms.
This kind of stimulation made Qiao Mingyu even more excited, so she stopped talking and ripped off the last layer of her coat.
The lantern flower has two cores, and it burns out until dawn.
Qiao Mingyu slept with Gu Lian in her arms and slept until it was almost noon.
Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is the Shangyuan Festival. The curfew in the city will be lifted from today, and there will be a light market in the evening. But this year, Qiao Mingyu and Gu Lian didn't plan to go out to see the lights.
Every year the light market is about the same, and Gu Lian is not interested. I used a bowl of glutinous rice balls at noon. I don't know who wrapped it. It looked round, but when it was boiled, it was deformed, and the dark sesame filling leaked out.
Gu Lian likes dumplings filled with sesame seeds because they are sweet. But she doesn't really like to eat glutinous rice balls. The glutinous rice skin is too sticky and difficult to swallow, and if the skin is too thick, it will not taste good. But at this point, her highness, the princess, made it herself. Even if Gu Lian didn't like to eat, she would eat it cleanly.
A small bowl of glutinous rice balls was only six or seven, but it was the size of a ping-pong ball, and Gu Lian had a small appetite, so he was full after eating these. Qiao Mingyu ate a lot, and after eating, she happily pulled Gu Lian to see the lamp she made by herself.
Because Gu Lian likes irises, Qiao Mingyu specially learned to make this kind of lantern. Qiao Mingyu made one before the Cloud Picking Festival, which was also the Valentine's Day of the Tianxi Dynasty, and wanted to give it to Gu Lian. However, she temporarily retreated. After all, no matter how confident she was, she knew that she had done an ugly job.
The devastated Her Royal Highness finally made a beautiful iris lantern in Shangyuan Festival.
It's just that the lamp is made smaller, so it's not easy to light candles inside, for fear of burning the paper stuck on the lamp.
"Good-looking." Gu Lianhao praised without hesitation.
Qiao Mingyu shamelessly accepted the compliment and decided to ask for a "reward" tonight.
"A Lian..." She looked at Gu Lian expectantly, and then she stopped talking.
Gu Lian pretended not to understand: "What's wrong?"
Qiao Mingyu had long been accustomed to her bad taste, knowing that she was doing it on purpose, and without revealing it, she looked at her with pitiful eyes like a deer.
"Okay, okay." Gu Lian couldn't hold it anymore, "I've prepared a gift for you, but I can only show it to you at night."
It's night, don't worry. As long as there is a gift, Qiao Mingyu is very satisfied. She followed Gu Lian into the room, preparing to read a book together, and it will be night soon.
Gu Lian didn't let her really wait until the evening. It got dark early in the winter, and it was already dark in the evening. Gu Lian took Qiao Mingyu and walked to the closed main courtyard.
She looked back at Qiao Mingyu and reminded, "Don't get too excited."
When she said this, Qiao Mingyu immediately looked forward to it even more.
The courtyard door was slowly pushed open, and the voice that was originally separated from the outside rushed in.
Qiao Mingyu's pupils shrank, is this? !
The huge county master's mansion occupies an area comparable to the royal courtyard. The inner courtyard is surrounded by the outer courtyard, which is blocked by a wide bluestone road surrounding the inner courtyard and a circular garden. This bluestone road is now full of "stalls", and there are also many lanterns hanging on the branches beside the road. The hawker played by the eunuch stood in front of the stall and shouted, while the lady and young lady played by the palace maid were looking at the lanterns to buy things.
This bluestone road is not a fixed road, and there is also a stone and wooden bridge ahead, which is erected on the man-made river that runs through the inner and outer courtyards. There is also a huge pond with a small flower boat parked in the center, above which there are dancers raised by the county lord's mansion dancing gracefully.
It's a shrunken city of lights that can almost look like the real thing.
Because there were not enough people in the county master's mansion, the eunuchs and maids of the princess mansion also came to celebrate the festival together. In order to come up with such a simulated light market, Gu Lian took great pains.
The aroma of fried meat flowers wafts from the street, and there are other sweet cakes. Next to the courtyard gate is an "uncle" who buys candied haws. Qiao Mingyu took a closer look. Isn't that the eunuch chief who used to be by his father's side? It is said that they were sent to Zheng Mansion by Rui Di to take care of their old age, and they did not expect to accompany them.
The door of the yard next door suddenly opened, and Zhu Xiang was wearing a young lady's clothes, pulling Mei Xiang out. As soon as he saw Tang Hulu, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he ran over with his skirt in hand.
"Master, give me two strings." She took out a silver naked child from her purse.
Mei Xiang followed slowly: "Sister, it's enough for you to buy it yourself, I won't eat it."
Zhuxiang didn't care, took one with a smile, and stuffed it into Meixiang's hand: "Eat with me!"
The chief eunuch looked at her with a smile: "Miss Eh, this money is too big, the old man can't find it."
"But this is all I have." Zhuxiang pouted.
Mei Xiang took out two copper coins from her purse and handed them over: "Trouble, old gentleman."
Qiao Mingyu watched this scene without blinking, and her heart gradually became excited. It seems... so fun!
"Let's go, let's go out too." Gu Lian pulled her out of the door.
Role-playing games will always have unimaginable fun, from the elderly to the children, they will all be interested. It's just that this kind of game is usually only played when children are pretending to be home, and the ancients never thought that adults could play together.
Mei Xiang and a few girls are playing wild, and they have long since disappeared. Gu Lian and Qiao Mingyu walked slowly, as if they were really walking down the street.
The maids around them came and went, some stopped in front of the stalls and took rouge gouache and looked at them carefully, and some guessed the lantern riddles and won the beautiful lanterns and rejoiced. By the man-made river and lake in the distance, there are still people making wishes with water lanterns.
Qiao Mingyu didn't eat dinner, smelled the fragrance wafting from the street, and was suddenly hungry. She happily walked to a food stall and sat down, and when she turned back to call Gu Lian, she found that Gu Lian was gone.
At this time, the stall owner has already brought up the hot fried spring rolls and Yangchun noodles. Although it is only plain noodles, the soup base is excellent, and the taste is fragrant and rich in taste, which is no worse than the well-cooked noodles on weekdays. Qiao Mingyu was so hungry that she couldn't help but take a sip, but she forgot Gu Lian.
This is in the house, and I am not afraid of losing people. Ah Lian must be making some interesting surprises, she can only wait.
Sure enough, just after a few bites, a "son" in a brocade robe sat down in front of her. The voice was warm and pleasant: "This girl, can Xiaosheng make a table with you?"
Qiao Mingyu looked up and was stunned.
Ah Lian is also very handsome in men's clothes. If she is really a man, Qiao Mingyu will also abduct her back to the palace as her concubine.
When Gu Lian was in the arena, he would deliberately wear men's clothes to flirt with little girls during the Lantern Festival, but that was many years ago. Later, when the Anshi Rebellion broke out, she never wore men's clothing for the New Year's Day. Now that I put it on again, I suddenly have a sense of novelty that I wear for the first time.
The scene where the talented and beautiful dolls meet seems to be quite emotional.
The author has something to say: If it wasn't for obsessive-compulsive disorder that made my chapter name two words, I would probably write: Aliancheng can play.
I want to play role-playing too! Women dressed as men!
