“Mother, we will definitely give you the best present. Be good and wait for us to come back!” Lingbao waved at Gu Qingxue, then left with her brothers.
Gu Qingxue could not stop them, so she could only shake her head helplessly.
Qin Yun, who was standing by the side, could not help but laugh. “Eldest Miss is indeed very popular. Everyone is trying to think of ways to make you happy.”
Gu Qingxue’s heart felt warm as she gently instructed Qin Yun, “Go and look after the chefs in the kitchen and prepare dinner for tonight. Remember to prepare more and make it more sumptuous. Tonight, we’ll do as they say and gather together to celebrate.”
Qin Yun smiled and nodded obediently. “Eldest Miss can be at ease, this servant will definitely do it properly.”
That night, Gu Qingxue was dragged along by Gong Lingyu and the others to celebrate.
Gong Lingyu was in high spirits. She even asked her subordinates to bring over the alcohol that was buried under the wintersweet tree in the princess’ residence. She drank half a jar of it with Gu Qingxue and stayed in the guest room, drunk.
The four little ones were also tired from playing around. After freshening up, they also lined up in a row and burrowed into their beds, snoring loudly.
After Gu Qingxue settled everyone down, she sat alone in the main hall and rubbed the space between her brows with a tired expression.
Qin Yun came forward and considerately served Gu Qingxue some tea. “Eldest
Miss has worked hard, go back to your room and rest early.”
Gu Qingxue’s gaze followed the half-opened door and looked toward the courtyard. She said in a soft voice, ” “There’s no rush. Drinking some wine makes me want to be alone. Qin Yun, it’s getting late. You should go back and rest. I’ll go back to my room later.”
Qin Yun answered obediently before she turned around and left.
Soon, Gu Qingxue was the only one left in the hall.
Taking in everything before her eyes, Gu Qingxue thought about entering the palace the next day and could not help but feel a little tired.
Lifting her hand to support her chin, Gu Qingxue unknowingly fell asleep.
The cold wind from outside kept blowing into the room. Gu Qingxue shrank her neck in her sleep and mumbled unhappily, “Oh, it’s cold.”
Gu Qingxue furrowed her brows in dissatisfaction. She was completely unaware that a figure had entered the room when she was not paying attention. The figure strode over to her.
Rong Zhan looked at Gu Qingxue’s flushed face and stood still. He could already smell the alcohol from her body.
‘This little thing was actually drinking?’
As Rong Zhan thought about it, he saw Gu Qingxue humph twice and shrink her neck, looking very cold.
He took off his cloak and covered Gu Qingxue with it. Rong Zhan walked up to her and carried her up easily with a calm expression.
Gu Qingxue felt the jolt and lazily opened her eyes, looking up at Rong Zhan.
From her angle, she could see Rong Zhan’s chin and the side of his face.”Your
Royal Highness? Why are you here at this hour?”
Rong Zhan saw the confused look on Gu Qingxue’s face. He blinked his big eyes and looked at him curiously. With a calm expression, he said, “I just happened to pass by.”
Gu Qingxue only felt that Rong Zhan’s words sounded familiar. She was too lazy to move and leaned into his embrace, feeling her cold body warm up. “Your Royal Highness, you just happen to pass by every time.”
Rong Zhan carried Gu Qingxue all the way to the back hall and placed her on the soft couch.
Gu Qingxue casually found a soft cushion and placed it under her head. She looked up and glanced at Rong Zhan out of the corner of her eyes.. “Since you’re just passing by, shouldn’t it be time to go back?”
