Contract Prince

After Jiang Shitang left, Gu Yunjing did not return to Xiao Muxue's room immediately.She thought that the queen and the princess should be talking about secret topics, so she shouldn't embarrass herself.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen the master for a few days. This old man has a heart that needs greetings from his apprentice.Therefore, Gu Yunjing walked towards the small courtyard where Shangguan Lan lived.

This is an extremely quiet and secluded place in the Hou Mansion, where flowers and plants are planted. Although it is not as spacious and luxurious as the front yard, it is still elegant.Shangguan Lan didn't like servant girls to follow him, so all the servants in the yard were sent to clean up, and he was the only one left alone.

When Gu Yunjing arrived, Shangguan Lan was leaning on the grand teacher's chair with his eyes closed, holding a jug in his hand, and slowly shaking the chair.Every time the chair swung back and forth, he poured the wine into his mouth rhythmically.

Shangguan Lan raised his head slightly, and the moment he drank the wine, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.Although I drink with my eyes closed, every time I drink without leaking.He had a peaceful expression on his face, as if all the turmoil in this world had nothing to do with him.

"Steal half a day of leisure in a floating life." This is the life Gu Yunjing yearns for the most. Seeing Shangguan Lan's leisurely look, she is really envious.

Gu Yunjing made his footsteps very soft, quietly walked to Shang Guanlan's side, and was about to snatch the wine pot from the master, but before he could move, Shang Guanlan had already opened his eyes.

"If you want to take the jug from the master, you have to practice for decades." Shangguan Lan said with a smile, "You must at least draw with Caiyue."

Gu Yunjing touched his nose, and said resentfully: "I have never succeeded in playing this game since I was a child. Master, you know that I don't know martial arts, so can't you let me play it?"

"Put the water in secretly, then even if you win, it would be disgraceful." After Shangguanlan finished speaking, he poured the wine into his mouth again, and after a few clicks, he put the jug on his hand and asked, "Why is there a chance today?" Just ignore me as an old man, don't you need to accompany your daughter-in-law?"

"Of course my daughter-in-law will accompany you." Gu Yunjing said with a smile, "I took time out of my busy schedule to visit you."

"You still have a conscience."

"Master, you live here alone, if you need anything for living expenses, just tell me."

Shangguan Lan glanced at the wine jug that had bottomed out, and said: "There is nothing necessary for living expenses. The wine in the courtyard is almost exhausted. You can send someone to bring some."

"Success, I'll have someone bring it later." Gu Yun slightly lifted his clothes, sat on the stone bench, and said happily.

"By the way, Chun. Xin. Dong has been developed as a teacher." Shangguan Lan took out a dark brown vial from his arms and handed it to Gu Yunjing, "This is the medicine."

Gu Yunjing opened the bottle cap, gently spread the palm of his hand, and poured the medicine into his hand, only to see small round particles lying in his palm.

"Is this what people eat to make their sex, desire, and arousal?" Gu Yunjing murmured.

"I didn't sleep for several days and nights as a teacher, so I developed it." Shangguan Lan coughed, and added embarrassingly, "But this is the first time I have formally developed this medicine. I don't know if this medicine is pure or not?"

Gu Yunjing stared and said, "Master, aren't you sure?"

"The founder of this medicine is Huangfu Yun. I also developed it by referring to the method recorded in the ancient book. The book only records the development method and the required medicinal materials, and does not mention the temperature and heat required for making this medicine."

It turned out that when Huangfu Yun developed Chun Xin, he didn't know what his intention was, and he recorded the prescription in the medicine book.After the incident of framing Shangguanlan was revealed, Huangfuyun was so busy running for his life that he forgot to take the medicine book he secretly wrote out of the teacher's school.

Although Shangguan Lan hated Huangfuyun's behavior, he also appreciated his talent after all, so he kept the medical books.While browsing, I accidentally found a record about Chun.Xin.Dong.

Shangguan Lan said: "Alchemy and pharmaceuticals are very particular about the heat. If the heat is not right, it will affect the efficacy of the medicine."

"This plan is no small matter, we must make sure that nothing goes wrong." Gu Yunjing tightly squeezed the pill in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "If Lu Zhong still maintains a clear mind after taking it, then our plan will fail."

Shangguan Lan chuckled: "It's not easy, find someone to try it, isn't it enough?"

Gu Yunjing was helpless and angrily called out: "Master."

"Do you think I'm joking with you? I'm serious. According to experience, I can control the heat very well. Let people try it and see the effect. If it's not good, I'll control the temperature of the development. It should be higher, so we can make improvements earlier and speed up the development of another batch of Chun.Xin.Dong.”

Gu Yunjing thought about it carefully, and Shangguan Lan's words were not unreasonable.At this critical moment, we must ensure that the plan is foolproof, and we can only find someone to try it.

Spring. Heart. Movement is □□, so you can only find married couples to try it.Gu Yunjing turned around in her mind, but she couldn't find any married people within her social circle.This is no wonder, because her friends are so pitiful.

She frowned and said, "Although that's the case, I can't find the best person to try."

Shangguanlan thought, if Xiao Muxue knew the identity of her apprentice and could still fall in love with her, then the consort of the princess would be very suitable to try this medicine.Although Chun. Xin. Dong's reaction to women is not as strong as that of men, but it can still play a role in flirting.

Of course, looking at the current situation of the two of them, Gu Yunjing's secret must never be revealed, so they are not blessed to enjoy this boudoir medicine.

Shangguan Lan asked: "Are there no married people in Hou's mansion?"

Gu Yunjing nodded, paused and said helplessly: "Ah, to tell the truth, Master, there really isn't one."

"If you think about it carefully, the princess has so many brothers and sisters-in-law, and none of them are suitable?" Shangguanlan reminded.

Having said that, Gu Yunjing immediately thought of Xiao Zhan and his wife. They have been married for many years, and Princess An's stomach has never moved.This spring, heart, and movement couldn't be more suitable for Wang An and his wife.

"Yes, thank you, master, for reminding me." Gu Yunjing smiled, "I have to hurry up and go to work, master, I will take my leave first."

"Go, go, don't forget to send someone to bring some wine." Shangguan Lan urged, after all, wine is his lifeblood.

When Gu Yunjing returned to Xiao Muxue's room, the empress had already left.

"Your Highness, I have some good news for you." Gu Yunjing walked into the room, only to find that the atmosphere was still a bit ambiguous. She carefully looked at Xiao Muxue, and unexpectedly found that Her Royal Highness's face was a little pink.

The thin-skinned princess was very embarrassed by what the empress said just now.Although the queen left, those embarrassing words still lingered in her ears, whenever Xiao Muxue thought of it, her heart would thump.

The Empress painstakingly taught her some knowledge on how to please her husband on the bed, and secretly explained in Xiao Muxue's ears some postures for making love in bed.From the queen's point of view, she felt that some men didn't give up. It wasn't because of their incompetence, but also because of their wives' improper cooperation.

In her previous life, Xiao Muxue was so busy with shopping malls that she didn't even have time to talk about love. Emotionally, she was a pure and flawless piece of paper.To be ashamed, even with Du Niang, a powerful person who unlocks all kinds of knowledge every minute, Xiao Muxue never secretly gave herself knowledge of popular science.

After listening to the queen's introduction, her world seemed to open a new door.The Queen's explanations were all about the affairs between men and women. To the former Xiao Muxue, she was very disgusted with listening to matters between men and women.However, when she brought herself and the son-in-law into it by herself, she didn't feel disgusted in her heart.

Only at this moment did Xiao Muxue realize that love has nothing to do with gender, as long as that person is Gu Yunjing.Her Royal Highness was immersed in it, her heart was swaying secretly.

"Your Highness, what did the queen mother tell you just now? Are you so happy?" Gu Yunjing asked with a smile.

"It's nothing. What good news do you want to tell me, son-in-law?" Xiao Muxue lowered her eyes slightly, as if she didn't want Gu Yunjing to pierce her daughter's family's concerns.

"Master has developed Chun.Xin.Dong."

"It's so fast, Senior Shangguan really deserves his reputation."

Gu Yunjing said slowly: "The drug has been developed, but I don't know how effective it will be?" Immediately afterwards, he told Xiao Muxue everything Shangguan Lan had said.

After Xiao Muxue finished listening, she asked seriously: "Is the son-in-law going to let Brother Sanhuang try this medicine?"

"Yes, there are no more suitable candidates than them. This medicine is only for flirting and has no side effects. Gu Yunjing squinted and smiled, "After taking it, Wang An and his wife may be able to hold a big fat boy in the next year. "

Xiao Muxue actually didn't have the heart to disturb Gu Yunjing's good interest, but she felt that she still had to speak, she said softly: "My mother told me just now that Princess An is pregnant."

Gu Yunjing pursed her lips and quietly changed her expression.This, this, this is really embarrassing.She sighed slightly again: "It seems that we have to find another person. Your Highness, think about whether there is any suitable person? It must be married."

"It's a bit disgraceful to say this, so I can only find people who are close to me." Xiao Muxue said, "I am the same as the son-in-law. I have no other relatives in the palace except father, mother, queen and brother three."

"So, I can only think of other ways." Gu Yunjing whispered.

Xiao Muxue stole a few glances at Gu Yunjing intentionally or unintentionally, she hesitated to speak, after some hesitation, she finally spoke, and said softly: "My son-in-law, besides telling me about the pregnancy of the third emperor's sister-in-law, the queen also mentioned that My Shougongsha."

Gu Yunjing sighed: "After all, paper can't contain fire. How did Her Royal Highness answer?"

Xiao Muxue was silent for a long time, then lowered her head and said: "The queen mother must not be allowed to know about the contract, so I can only tell the queen euphemistically that you have problems in that aspect, son-in-law, and it is not suitable for you to have a house."

The latter sentence was almost hummed.Xiao Muxue thought that Gu Yunjing would be angry or unhappy after hearing this, after all, this is the most taboo privacy issue for men.Who knows, after hearing this, Gu Yunjing showed no other expression except for a faint smile.

"That's a good excuse. At least it can help us delay for a year." Gu Yunjing didn't think much about it, but just followed Xiao Muxue's words.

Xiao Muxue was inexplicably sad, she hoped that Gu Yunjing would be angry more than the concubine's faint smile.A faint smile showed that the son-in-law didn't care about this matter at all.If the son-in-law is angry, it means that he has a certain weight in Gu Yunjing's heart.

This sentence can be dragged on for at least a year, like a small knife, gently stabbing Xiao Muxue's heart.She closed her eyes, and countless pictures about Gu Yunjing floated in her mind.

The boy who discussed the court situation with her during the bridal chamber.

The young man who advised her when the crown prince was in trouble.

The young man who swore, "I will protect you, Your Royal Highness, for the rest of your life."

The gentle and careful boy who fed her medicine and massaged her back.

…………

Son-in-law, is it because of your affection or other factors that you treat me so well?You know, I'm already in it.If you have no intention of being nice to me, you don't have to be so nice to me, it will only make me sink deeper.

You bring me joy again and again, and you make me sad again and again.Gu Yunjing, you are a bad guy, you are a bad guy through and through.

Xiao Muxue slowly opened her eyes, looked straight at Gu Yunjing, summoned up her courage and said, "My son-in-law, what are your plans after one year?"

The princess still didn't have the courage to confess to her son-in-law, she was afraid that she was really wishful thinking and misunderstood Gu Yunjing's meaning.If the words got out of the way and the son-in-law had no intention of treating her, wouldn't those two people be extremely embarrassed?Maybe Gu Yunjing won't even give her the only tenderness.After thinking hard for a while, Xiao Muxue could only ask questions in a reserved way.

Gu Yunjing also looked at Xiao Muxue intently, and asked: "What is your highness' plan? I want to hear what you think."

Xiao Muxue bit her lips tightly, and said word by word: "My son-in-law, if I lose that contract, what will you do?"

"Your Highness, are you joking or serious?" Gu Yunjing's eyes brightened instantly, but when she remembered her identity, her eyes dimmed again.Rubbing the palms of his hands, he reluctantly said after a long time, "It's okay, we're writing two copies."

She said silently in her heart: Your Highness, I'm sorry.Speaking of this, Yun Jing already understands what you mean.I'm very happy that you like me, but I really can't let you have illusions about me anymore.You love Gu Yunjing who is only a man, not me who is a woman.

Gu Yunjing's heart was about to become entangled.For a long time, she wanted to know Xiao Muxue's heart, but when she really knew, her worry was more than joy.

Xiao Muxue likes her, but she really can't respond to Her Royal Highness's feelings.After her identity is revealed, Xiao Muxue will definitely call her a complete liar.In addition, the lives of all the people in the Hou Mansion are at stake.

Looking at Xiao Muxue's sad expression, Gu Yunjing's heart was bleeding.It felt like being stabbed with a knife, or being pressed down by a mountain, painful and suffocating.

"Very well, I understand what you mean." Xiao Muxue's tone seemed to have taken a 360-degree turn compared to before, and she returned to her cold and noble appearance.

"You go out first, I don't want to see you, I want to be alone. Don't enter the house without my order. From now on, I don't need your care." Xiao Muxue said coldly , every word punishes the heart, it is not one person's heart that is punished, but two hearts that have just opened their hearts and are lingering.

These heartbreaking words, like a sharp dividing line, completely opened the distance between the two, and all the tacit understanding and intimacy in the past disappeared in an instant.From now on, you and I are passers-by.

"Your Highness, I..."

"Get out!" Xiao Muxue's vision gradually became hazy, and tears of despair and sorrow slowly dripped down her face.

"Your Highness Princess..." Gu Yunjing said sadly, at this moment she wanted to confess everything to Xiao Muxue so much, but when she thought of her father who was away at war, she held back again.

"Get out!" Xiao Muxue's tone became even colder, and Gu Yunjing's heart felt thick with ice.

Gu Yunjing, since you don't mean anything to me, let's stop entanglement, and we will break it when we break it.From today, I will bury my feelings for you.You go your way, I live mine, don't interfere with each other, until the day when the contract expires.

Gu Yunjing knew that no matter what she said, Xiao Muxue would never treat her tenderly again.There was a severe pain in her chest, and her internal organs seemed to be torn open, the pain made her almost twitch.Tears were like broken beads, dripping one by one, wet her face, wet her clothes, and freeze her heart.

"Your Highness, I love you from the beginning to the end." Gu Yunjing yelled frantically in his heart, clutching his aching chest.

"Your Highness, I love you. But I can't say it, it will harm the whole family. I can't be so selfish and ignore the Marquis Mansion because of my own feelings. Gu Yunjing can't be unfaithful, filial, benevolent, and unrighteous. .”

"If you knew that I was a woman, you would definitely hate me to the bone. You should marry a good man and live a truly happy life. I'm sorry, I shouldn't let you fall into such a relationship. Your Highness, stop it , forget it, it’s good for you and me.”

Gu Yunjing had already forgotten how she walked out of the room, she was walking like a walking corpse, her eyes darkened for a while, and she fainted to the ground.

When she woke up, Caiyue appeared in front of her eyes.

"My lord, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly faint on the ground?" Caiyue looked at Gu Yunjing, whose face was as white as paper, and was extremely worried.

Gu Yunjing was silent, obviously she was not in the mood to talk to anyone.His eyes were no longer as clear and transparent as before, but empty and sad.

"My son, I know there are some things I have no right to say. But I still want to say that your pain and sorrow must be due to Her Royal Highness, and she is the only one in the world who can control your emotions."

Gu Yunjing remained silent.

Caiyue continued to speak earnestly: "I know that you have deep feelings for the princess, and I can see that the princess has affection and righteousness for you. Otherwise, she would not risk her life to save you. I guess it must be because of your status." , and depressed in my heart. Sometimes I also blame God, why do you have to play tricks on you two lovers?"

"However, this is the end of the matter, and your identity cannot be changed. Even if you are not with Her Royal Highness, you still have Master Hou, Master and Mistress, Junior Junior Sister and me. We are all your relatives. No one would want to Seeing you so sad."
