The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

Chapter 159 Sleeping in each other's arms

Gu Jingzhi stayed in the palace for a while longer and had lunch with Emperor Jian'an before leaving.

As soon as he left the imperial study, he ran into the prince.

"I have seen the prince."

"Jingzhi, we are all family, why should we be so polite." The prince reached out and supported him, "It's been another year since we last met. In a few days, when you have settled down and recovered, we can have a good reunion."

"Okay." Facing the prince's invitation, Gu Jingzhi accepted it immediately with a relaxed smile on his face, "It just so happens that someone wants to introduce you two to each other."

The prince raised an eyebrow, "Oh? It should be my sister-in-law who hasn't married yet?"

Gu Jingzhi did not deny it.

Seeing him like this, the prince smiled and said, "I never thought I would see you like this in my lifetime.

Okay, I won't bother you anymore, go back and see the person you love most."

Gu Jingzhi ignored his teasing and said, "Your Highness is busy now, I will take my leave now."

"Let's go, let's go, I also have things to do." The prince waved his hand.

The two of them separated and left.

After coming out of the palace, Gu Jingzhi did not return home immediately. Instead, he went to the most famous restaurant in Beijing and ordered a few of their specialties. Then he asked someone to carry the food box back home.

After returning home, Gu Jingzhi stopped outside Weirui Pavilion, took the food box from Zhang Hao, and said, "You are tired from the journey, you should go down and have a rest."

Zhang Hao glanced at Weirui Pavilion, understood what was going on, and turned and left without saying anything.

After Zhang Hao left, Gu Jingzhi carried the food box and entered Weirui Pavilion. Weirui Pavilion was arranged urgently for people to live in, and there were no maids or servants serving inside, except Li Xi and Hong Tao.

So Gu Jingzhi was not discovered when he first entered. It was only after he entered the room that Hongtao, who was doing needlework, heard the noise and looked up and saw him.

Seeing the young general coming, Hong Tao quickly put down her needlework and stood up, "This servant greets the young general."

"Where is she?" Gu Jingzhi glanced towards the inner room. Is she asleep?

"Replying to the young general, the girl went to her bedroom to rest after washing up. She specifically asked her to have a good sleep and asked people not to go and disturb her..."

At the end of her words, Hong Tao looked up at Gu Jingzhi cautiously, as if she was afraid that he would break in.

This is both an explanation and a small warning.

Unfortunately, she was facing Gu Jingzhi, a man who looked gentle on the outside but was the opposite on the inside.

"She didn't have lunch?"

"The girl has been sleeping and has not gotten up."

Gu Jingzhi glanced at the food box in his hand and it seemed that he had come at the right time.

"You are not needed here. Please go down first." Gu Jingzhi said as he walked towards the inner room.

"Major General!" Hong Tao never expected to hear the Major General say this. Although the Major General had said that the girl was his fiancée, they were not married yet after all. Entering the bedroom of an unmarried girl, especially when she was still asleep, was inappropriate no matter how you looked at it.

Hong Tao wanted to stop her but didn't dare to. Although she was serving Miss Li now, she was still a member of the Zhenbei General's Mansion after all.

How dare she stop the major general?

Gu Jingzhi stopped and looked at Hong Tao, his eyes slightly gloomy, and his voice was low, "Go down."

"Yes Yes."

Hong Tao's courage did not last long. She trotted out of the room and did not lean against the wall until she was out of Gu Jingzhi's sight. She covered her chest and gasped for breath.

The major general didn't say anything serious, nor did he act very harshly, but she was just so scared. When the major general looked at her, she felt like her heart was about to jump out.

in the room.

After Hongtao left, Gu Jingzhi put the food box on the table outside, pushed open the bedroom door and walked in.

The curtains in the room have been drawn, and the light from outside can only come in through a small gap in the middle of the curtains. The light in the room is a little dim, but you can still see things.

Gu Jingzhi saw the protruding human figure on the bed at a glance and walked over.

Li Xi was buried in the quilt, sleeping soundly. Gu Jingzhi sat down beside the bed, looking at Li Xi's face.

After a while, without disturbing Li Xi, he took off his outer clothes, shoes and socks, gently lifted the quilt, and lay down beside her.

He turned sideways and looked at Li Xi's sleeping face. He felt his heart full. As he looked at her, he became sleepy and slowly closed his eyes.

……

When Li Xi woke up again, she was awakened by hunger. She had slept for a long time and was hungry.

The first thing she found when she woke up was Gu Jingzhi beside her, but she was actually a little dazed when she just woke up. She stared blankly at the handsome face that appeared enlarged in front of her, with no reaction on her face.

It took her a while to come back to her senses. Because the curtains were drawn, she couldn't estimate the time from the sky outside. However, Li Xi, who had slept for a long time, didn't plan to sleep any more. She touched her stomach and decided it was time to eat.

Seeing the dark circles under Gu Jingzhi's eyes, she slowed down her movements, got up from the bed, crawled to the end of the bed, and then quietly got out of bed.

Sitting on the bed, putting on her shoes and clothes, she quietly walked out of the room again.

She came out and saw that there was no one outside. She was a little surprised. Where was Hong Tao?

After Hong Tao was driven away by Gu Jingzhi, she didn't dare to come in again, for fear of seeing something she shouldn't see. However, she didn't dare to go too far away, so she sat in the yard not far from the room.

As soon as Li Xi walked out of the room, she saw the red peaches under the corridor, and of course she also saw the setting sun. It seemed that she had slept too long.

"Red peach." Li Xi said in a low voice.

Hong Tao was already restless. She kept embroidering the pattern in the embroidery studio, and then she tried again and again. In the whole afternoon, she didn't embroider anything at all. While she was embroidering, she kept paying attention to the movements in the other room, but there was no movement in the room.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she lowered her head, she heard someone calling her name again. When she looked up, it turned out to be Miss Li.

"Girl." Hong Tao put down the needle and thread in her hand and stood up.

"Is this what Gu Jingzhi brought back?" Li Xi was holding a food box in her hand, which was the one that Gu Jingzhi had placed on the table earlier.

Hong Tao nodded blankly, "It was brought by the Major General."

Li Xi had just looked at the things inside. There were several dishes, and he thought they were probably bought by him for himself.

"The food inside is cold. Take it to the kitchen and ask them to heat it up." Li Xi handed the food box to Hong Tao.

Hong Tao took it in a daze, "Yes, I will go right away."

After saying that, she left with the food box.

Seeing her leave, Li Xi turned around and went back to the room. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Gu Jingzhi walking out of the bedroom.

"Awake?" Li Xi hugged her chest and half leaned against the door frame.

Gu Jingzhi walked over, took her hand, and pulled her to his side, "Wake up."
