Chapter 73: Return to the palace

"Why is Ning'er so concerned about Your Highness all of a sudden?" Liuli put away the towel she wiped for Gu Yining, and asked curiously as she soaked it in the water.
As soon as Liuli's voice fell, two blushes appeared on Gu Yining's face unconsciously, as if something extraordinary had been discovered by Liuli: "Where is there...?"
Liuli raised her eyes, looked at Gu Yining, and couldn't help but snickered. She had never seen Gu Yining caring about Mo Jianchen before, and she wished that Mo Jianchen had something to do every day, so that he would not have to come to Zhiyuan Pavilion every day: "Ning'er is tempted by His Highness?"
This question seemed to have hit Gu Yining’s weakness, and the peaceful pool in his heart was stirred up by Liuli's words: "Nothing!"
She did not hesitate to deny, not so much denying, as she was hiding something.
"Yes, yes~ Ning'er was not tempted by His Highness." Liuli couldn't help looking at Gu Yining with a smile.
"You said..." Gu Yi stared at Liuli and continued to ask tentatively, "Does Mo Jianchen have any feelings for me?"
Gu Yining's voice is getting softer and lighter, and it seems that he is losing his confidence.
Sometimes loving someone can be humble from the bones to the dust.
Liuli raised her eyes again, and there seemed to be a hint of weirdness in her eyes, but soon the weirdness was replaced by a burst of laughter, which was an intriguing smile: "How could your highness not like Ning'er? What? Think about it. Wasn’t it the second lady of the Gu Mansion who insisted on marrying you?

It is correct to say that, but such a reply does not seem to make Gu Yining happy, because she knows that Mo Jianchen has another plan to marry her as a concubine.
Seeing Gu Yining not speaking, Liuli continued to speak, "Besides, after marrying Ning'er, didn't your Highness come to Zhiyuan Pavilion to find Ning'er? Liuli has been with Your Highness for so many years, and Liuli's careful thoughts, Liuli How can you not see it?"
Indeed, Mo Jianchen sometimes expresses his likes very obviously, but she didn't hear the words from him personally, she always felt that this like was a little unreal.
"Then do you know what kind of girl Mo Jianchen likes?" Gu Yining continued to inquire about Liuli.
"Knowledgeable, gentle, innocent girl?" Liuli sorted out, guessing what type of woman Mo Jianchen would like.
There are too many intrigues in the world, and sometimes, Mo Jianchen also needs to get away from this cruel reality, hide in such gentleness and take a good rest.
After Liuli finished speaking, the air fell into a mysterious silence. Gu Yining did not continue to speak. Her clear eyes became a little hollow at the moment, as if thinking about something.
Gu Yining sat there blankly, she was really stunned, because Mo Jianchen liked the type, she couldn't even touch the sides, she didn't know how to read, she was careless and careless every day.
Suddenly, for a moment, she wanted to make herself better, she wanted to become the kind of woman Liuli said, so that she had the confidence to stand proudly beside Mo Jianchen.
"Ning'er?" Liuli walked to Gu Yining's side leisurely, raised her little hand and waved in front of Gu Yining's eyes.
Gu Yining's thoughts were suddenly pulled back, and she suddenly looked at Liuli: "What's the matter?"
"Should Liuli come to ask this sentence?" Liuli still kept a slight smile, looking at Gu Yining in front of him with concern.
"Liu Li, follow me back to the palace." Gu Yining said, and jumped out of bed without any explanation.
Liuli didn't know why Gu Yining wanted to return to the palace, but just followed Gu Yining all the way obediently.

I thought that Gu Yining was looking for Mo Jianchen when he returned to the palace, but he didn't want Gu Yining to take Liuli all the way to the empress dowager's palace.
"Ning'er..." Liuli seemed to be a little flustered, "What are you doing here in Cishou Palace?"
"It's been a long time since I saw the emperor's grandmother. I miss her." Gu Yining raised her eyebrows lightly, and while speaking, she walked into Cishou Palace lightly. No one knew what she was thinking about.
There is peace in the gold and silver inlaid Cishou Palace, and such quietness seems to precipitate an impetuous heart.
The empress dowager was sitting right in front, her hand resting on her cheek, and she was napping. The two maids beside her were holding fans in their hands, fanning her quietly.
The weather in May in Mo State was like a child with cloudy weather, sometimes rainy, and lightning flashed and thundered two days ago. Today, the sun is shining suddenly, and the heat makes people feel a little irritable.
Seeing the empress dowager, Gu Yining suddenly felt a touch of kindness, as if she had seen a family member whom she hadn't seen for a long time, she ran to the empress dowager quickly.
"The emperor grandmother!"
Her voice was sweet, but the empress dowager felt surprisingly nice, and she couldn't help but feel joyful. She opened her closed eyes and looked at Gu Yining, with a kindly smile on her face involuntarily.
"What's the matter with Ning'er coming to Ai's family today?" The empress dowager asked Gu Yining without delay.
"It's okay, I just miss the emperor's grandmother." Gu Yining sticks to the empress dowager like a clingy cat.
The empress dowager of course knew that Gu Yining came over this time just because she missed it so easily. She smiled and joked: "Nothing to do, no..."
"I like you very much." Before the Queen Mother could finish speaking, Gu Yining interrupted the Queen Mother.
Just finished saying this, the empress dowager's heart was as sweet as honey, this little girl can be said to be the sweetest person in the palace.
When Gu Yining said so, the empress dowager was very happy. She squinted her eyes and looked at the flowery girl in front of her with joy: "Say, what else is there other than this?"
"Grandma, granddaughter-in-law thought..." Before Gu Yining could finish her words, her voice was softened involuntarily. She wanted to learn some etiquette in the palace, wanted to make herself gentle and deserving. Shang Mo Jianchen, but she didn't know how to say it. After all, she was also born in a big family. This kind of thing... should be the skills that every big family was born with?
"Huh?" The Queen Mother looked at her patiently.
"Grandson-in-law wants to learn... etiquette..." Gu Yining's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of being heard clearly by the Queen Mother.
But the empress dowager did hear clearly, she looked at Gu Yining in surprise: "Why do you want to learn such a thing?"
"Gentle and elegant, knowledgeable, your Royal Highness would like such a woman very much, right?" Gu Yining muttered softly.
"Could it be that Chen'er has changed her heart?" The empress dowager suddenly tightened her soft eyes when she heard Gu Yining's muttering.
"No, no..." Gu Yining immediately denied that she could not let the empress dowager find out that they had no feelings at all when they were married. Your Highness..."
The queen mother heard that her expression seemed a little bleak, as if she had discovered something, she sighed lightly, and smiled helplessly: "Shangguan, take Ning'er to find Mother Lin."
As soon as Shangguan took a step, the Queen Mother gently grabbed her wrist. As usual, she bent down and put her ears to the Queen Mother: "Don't let Mother Lin see her."
