Gu Ziliang sat upright and elegant, and listened quietly.
In the water-blue ice eyes, there seems to be a river slowly passing by, all of them are small but gentle flashes.
"But you are a little dark now. I guess you have a safe life, but you are not happy."
Otherwise, she will not sleep well.
This means she tries her best to laugh during the day.
But at night, she dropped her disguise.
Ling Qingge froze suddenly.
Even if she said so much and concealed it so well, Gu Zilii could still see it.
His gentle voice directly penetrated all her disguise.
Those icy blue eyes seemed to see Ling Qingge's heart, the little girl who had been hiding in the corner and crying.
Ling Qingge's eyes were slightly red, her smile gradually faded, and she lowered her head.
Gu Ziliang comforted in a deep voice: "What troubles do you have, you can tell me, I will share with you, Qingge, I said, you have a backer in Daqi."
A drop of hot tears, from Ling Qingge's eyes, fell on the back of her hand.
After a while, she sighed.
"Actually, if I say it, it will appear that I am hypocritical, and I don't know what to do."
"However, I really can't ignore it. Everyone knows that Empress Lu and my biological mother, the Zhong family, were mortal enemies."
"So Empress Lu is in charge of the sixth palace, and my brother and I are under her protection. Many people say that we are ungrateful white-eyed wolves."
Ling Qingge covered her eyes: "But it was obviously the mother who hurt me first. She abandoned her brother back then. Everyone couldn't see what she did, and they would only accuse us of being unfilial."
Gu Zilai's eyes showed a little pity.
"Qingge, in this world, the most difficult thing to manage is the mouths of others. No matter how good you are, there will always be people who make irresponsible remarks."
"But I want to tell you that Zhong's consequences are entirely her own fault."
"You can't choose what kind of parents you have, but you can at least decide your own life. Without Zhong's control, you are now happy and free."
"The days are still long, and we all have to look forward."
Ling Qingge blinked her eyelashes lightly, raised her head, and looked at Gu Zilian.
"You're right, come here and toast you." She raised her wine cup and smiled.
The two talked about everything. When it came to Yun Linzhou, Ling Qingge only said: "I came here in disguise as a guard, and my brother doesn't know it yet."
After she finished speaking, she added: "I'm here this time to hide from those old officials. They always yelled at the royal father, saying that when I was of age, they wanted to show me."
"Fortunately, Mother Lu was concerned about my thoughts, and stopped and refused several times. Hey, Lisheng, you are approaching the age, your father, the queen, and the concubine, do you want to say kiss for you?"
Gu Ziliang chuckled: "No, there are several brothers in front of me who haven't married, so I'm naturally not in a hurry."
Ling Qingge blinked: "The eldest prince doesn't have a favorite girl, right?"
Gu Ziliang pondered for a while: "I haven't heard the elder brother say it, not to mention that he is really busy on weekdays, and he shouldn't have time to contact women."
Ling Qingge wrote down these words and planned to go back and tell Zhuang Ruoyun.
Later, when she was happy, she drank too much, and Gu Ziliang asked her to temporarily rest on the bamboo couch in the private room.
He didn't leave, just read a book on the side, planning to wait until she woke up before leaving.
Ling Qingge was lying on her side drunkenly, squinting her beautiful water eyes and looking at Gu Zilai's direction.
She suddenly giggled twice.
"You Daqi's sons are all good-looking, but no one has blue eyes like you."
"Long Sheng, you are the best looking."
After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes, muttered something, and fell asleep.
Gu Ziliang held the book and sat on the stool some distance away from her.
He looked at her sideways for a long time, then chuckled lightly.
Just walked over and put his cloak on her body.
