After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Xie Ran took the drunken Gu Jin all the way back to Jinxiu Courtyard. Ruyi was even drunker than her, so Xie Ran asked Wumu to go to the kitchen to make a bowl of sobering soup for Gu Jin.

Gu Jin lay on the table and said lazily, "I already said I'm not drunk, why would you make a hangover soup?"

Xie Ran walked over and put his arm around her waist, "I'll help you get on the bed and rest."

"What? You want to have sex with me?"

Xie Ran: “…”

"I treat you as a comrade-in-arms, but you want to sleep with me. Is this reasonable? Huh?" Gu Jin looked at Xie Ran with confused eyes and reached out to grab Xie Ran's collar.

She thought her expression at the moment was ferocious, but she didn't know that in his eyes she was just a charming little fox.

The soft and boneless hands tenderly tugged at his collar, and the peach blossom eyes, which were already sparkling and affectionate, seemed to contain a hook, teasing the heart.

Especially when she lost her balance and fell into his arms, the rich fragrance of the girl was like a love potion that made people lose their minds.

Gu Jin raised his head and looked at Xie Ran carefully as if he was seeing him for the first time. He suddenly smiled and raised his hand to lift Xie Ran's chin, "We are all adults, it's not that I can't understand.

If the target is you, a one-night stand might not be a problem."

Xie Ran lowered his eyes and looked at her, his dark eyes were bottomless, "Do you know what you are doing?"

Gu Jin raised his head and thought for a moment, then smiled innocently, "Am I seducing you?"

Xie Ran's Adam's apple moved and his eyes became deeper. He picked up Gu Jin and put him on the bed.

His slightly heavy breathing blended with her light breath, their gazes were ambiguous and lingering, and in the dim candlelight, there was only each other in their eyes.

When Wu Mu came in with the sobering soup, she saw Xie Ran leaning over and stroking Gu Jin's cheek. Her face turned red and she quickly put down the tray and walked out.

Xie Ran was not bothered by it, he just stared at Gu Jin. The woman under him had such charming eyes that it was breathtakingly beautiful.

He knew that this was an expression she would never show when she was sober.

If it were today, perhaps she would not refuse.

If he had her, maybe she wouldn't want to leave.

Maybe tonight is a gift from God to him.

Her lips were as soft and rosy as cherries, tempting him to kiss them.

He lowered his eyes and leaned down, but his movements finally stopped in mid-air.

He slowly opened his eyes and let out a deep, helpless sigh.

He pulled the quilt over her and tucked the corners of the quilt in. His eyes swept across her eyebrows, lips and nose, and finally he stood up and left.

If he really did it, then how is he different from those men who only want to besiege women throughout their lives.

If she was not interested in this, how could he clip her wings just for his own benefit?

She was a bird in the forest and should not be trapped in a golden cage.

Gu Jin looked at Xie Ran's resolute back and blinked dazedly, then quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep, while the light in the study was on all night...

When Gu Jin woke up the next day, she felt her head was as heavy as if there was a big pot on it. She sat up on the bed and raised her hand to knock her dizzy head.

"Have I drunk too much? This shouldn't be the case." Gu Jin muttered to himself.

She wanted to call Ruyi in to ask, but found that the girl was not waiting outside today.

"Ruyi drank too much yesterday and is still asleep now." Wumu walked in with a basin of water and said in a calm voice.

Gu Jin responded calmly, washed his face with clean water, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively, "I didn't do anything out of the ordinary yesterday, did I?"

Wu Mu raised an eyebrow, and his tone sounded a little sarcastic, "When has the young mistress not done something out of line?"

Gu Jin frowned, then smiled, "Don't mention it, it's true!"

ebony:"……"

Gu Jin sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at herself. She only remembered drinking in the restaurant yesterday and that Xie Ran came to pick her up in person. She seemed to have touched Xie Ran's eyelashes in the carriage. She couldn't remember anything that happened after that.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she turned around and asked, "When did your general leave?"

"I do not know either."

"Then...did he sleep here last night?"

Wu Mu gave her a strange look, "Where else should the general sleep if not here?"

Gu Jin cleared his throat and said unnaturally: "Did I do anything to your general?"

Wu Mu blushed as she thought of the scene she accidentally saw last night. "How...how should I know this?"

Gu Jin felt even more depressed when he saw this. Could it be that she was drunk and couldn't resist the temptation of Xie Ran's beauty and touched him?

She really didn't know that the wine in ancient times had such a strong aftereffect and tasted sweet like modern barrel wine.

She would have listened to Shen Wuji earlier. Why is she trying to imitate Li Bai who drank ten thousand cups of wine? Doesn't she know what kind of person she is?

Gu Jin felt a little restless the whole day, just waiting for Xie Ran to come back and find out.

But Xie Ran did not return home today. Someone came to tell him about his return at dinner time, saying that the Dali Temple was busy with official business and he would stay overnight there.

Gu Jin always felt that something was strange and he experienced insomnia for the first time when he lay alone in bed at night...

……

Bai Yiyi had been depressed for a long time since the palace banquet, and only recently did she adjust her mentality.

There are so many men in the world, why does she have to hang herself on a tree with Li Ziheng!

What she didn't know was that four imperial edicts were actually issued from the palace that day, but one of them was stopped halfway before leaving the palace.

Emperor Hui'an thought that Li Ziheng was interested in Bai Yiyi, so he made a scene in Princess Jingmin's palace. However, he never expected that it would turn out to be such a big mistake.

Bai Yiyi went out to relax. After all, only outside could she have the opportunity to meet new targets.

She happened to pass by a jewelry store, and looking at her plain clothes, she thought it was time to dress herself up, so she walked in.

She took a fancy to a butterfly hairpin, which was delicate and lively and matched her temperament very well. As soon as she stretched out her hand, it was snatched away by another hand.

Bai Yiyi frowned and looked over, then saw Li Ying'er fiddling with the hairpin in her hand in a proud and arrogant manner.

"Miss Li, I was the first one to see this hairpin."

Li Ying'er sneered, "What you see is yours, right? According to what you said, you have seen this shop, so it belongs to you too?"

Li Ying'er and Bai Yiyi had little in common, and the reason she made things difficult for Bai Yiyi was purely out of anger.

After the palace banquet, she didn't find a family that satisfied her, so she put all the blame on Gu Jin.

If Gu Jin hadn't embarrassed her in the Jiang Mansion, even if she, a daughter of the Minister of Personnel, could not become a princess, she should at least marry into the mansion of a duke.

She couldn't deal with Gu Jin, so could she not deal with Bai Yiyi, an orphan?

Li Ying'er looked down at Bai Yiyi with a sarcastic tone, "I saw you went to the palace banquet last time, you are overestimating your own abilities!

The Qixi Palace Banquet is for the rich and powerful to attend. How could anyone be interested in you, an orphan living in your maternal grandparents' home?"

"What if I am the one who is blind?"
