Chapter 153: If You Don’t Run, You’re a Fool
"What do you want these seeds for?" Liang Guijun asked in confusion.
"Of course it is useful." Gu Qingyuan smiled mysteriously. If they could cultivate delicious and large grapes, then everyone would be able to taste grapes that were not sour.
Liang Guijun had the grape seeds wrapped in brocade cloth, and took out a bunch of grapes, asking Gu Qingyuan and the others to take it back after the palace banquet was over.
"This...just grape seeds will do."
Gu Qingyuan evaded the question.
"Nothing, you guys take it."
It was soon noon and the palace banquet lasted until the evening. Seeing that it was almost time, Gu Qingyuan and Wen Shubai said goodbye to Liang Guijun and went to meet the empress.
General Gu had already gone there and was talking to the Queen.
Officials also arrived one after another and sat down in the assigned seats.
Lin Xinghe followed Lin Weiwei into the palace and kept looking around as if he was looking for someone.
When he saw Gu Qingyuan, he was a little excited and wanted to go over and talk to her.
But Lin Weiwei reminded him: "There are many people in the palace, don't run around."
She also had to take people on patrol, and because she was worried about Lin Xinghe, she left one person to guard him.
But Lin Xinghe couldn't sit still and looked absent-minded.
In the palace, Gu Qingyuan met several acquaintances from the academy, as well as Master Shen and another master.
Gu Qingyuan went to greet Master Shen. After seeing Gu Qingyuan, she asked, "Are you planning to come to the academy?"
Gu Qingyuan went to the academy less and less frequently, and Master Shen even missed her presence.
“Maybe I should go again in the future.”
After all, if she didn't go to the academy, others would wonder how she could have learned so much from her so-called master in such a short time.
"You are always welcome to the academy."
After seeing Master Shen, Princess Wen Danyue also walked over here, raised her glass and toasted her.
"Hahaha, it's been a while since we last met. Your Highness has grown a lot."
Master Shen looked at her and missed the time when he taught the princess in the palace.
She was still very young at that time, only reaching her waist. Who would have thought that time would pass so quickly.
"I would also like to thank Master Shen for his guidance."
Afterwards, the princess noticed Gu Qingyuan and chatted with her.
On the other side, Lin Xinghe was sitting there anxiously. He also wanted to talk to Gu Qingyuan and thank her for saving him last time.
But there was always someone around her, so it was inconvenient for me to go over, and I could only wait for the right opportunity.
Lin Xinghe drank the wine on the table as if it were water.
After taking a bite, his throat hurt from the spiciness and he started coughing violently.
"Mr. Lin, please eat something and relax."
Said a guard who stayed behind to guard Lin Xinghe.
He nodded and ate something, but his eyes were still looking in the direction where Gu Qingyuan had just stood.
But in the blink of an eye, he could no longer see her. Lin Xinghe was a little anxious. Where did she go?
In fact, Gu Qingyuan was just invited over for a drink, and her figure was blocked by other people, but Lin Xinghe thought she had gone out.
"I...I'm going to the toilet."
Lin Xinghe suddenly stood up and said.
"I'll accompany Master Lin."
Lin Xinghe said angrily, "I'll be back soon, you don't have to follow me."
"But, Master Lin..."
After all, there are differences between men and women, so the guards couldn't really follow him, so they just stood not far away.
The fourth princess came out of her palace. She put a lot of powder on her face to hide her weak complexion.
When she was about to reach the place where the palace banquet was held, she saw the back of a strange man.
She had never seen that man in the palace before. He looked around as if he was looking for someone.
The fourth princess walked towards him and said, "Young Master, are you waiting for someone?"
Hearing a woman's voice, Lin Xinghe turned around and guessed from her attire that it must be a princess, and took a step back.
Lin Xinghe dressed up carefully to meet Gu Qingyuan before entering the palace. After seeing him, the Fourth Princess suddenly had the idea of taking him into her own palace.
"I, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Lin Xinghe turned around and wanted to leave, but the Fourth Princess blocked his way.
"Whose family are you from? Who is your mother?"
Lin Xinghe was a little scared, but the Fourth Princess was relentless and wanted to find out which family he was from.
If he was just from a minor official's family, then she would have no worries and could just accept him.
If his mother had some power, although it would be a little difficult, as long as we promised her some benefits, I think she would send the person over obediently.
Lin Xinghe began to regret coming out. This woman was too difficult to deal with. She kept blocking him and wouldn't let him leave.
No matter which direction he went, she moved quickly to stand in front of him.
Seeing that he refused to answer, the Fourth Princess became a little angry. "I'm asking you this out of respect. If you still don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for making you lose face in the palace today."
Before Lin Xinghe understood what she meant, he saw her about to pounce on him.
There were not enough people in the palace, and the guard left behind by Lin Weiwei was called away again. At this time, Lin Xinghe was isolated and helpless. He looked in the direction of the guard again and again, but did not see her.
Lin Xinghe was terrified when he saw her slowly approaching him.
The Fourth Princess was determined to teach him a lesson. She couldn't deal with the Crown Princess and Gu Qingyuan, so how could she not do anything to a man?
"Save...Save..."
Before Lin Xinghe could finish his words, the Fourth Princess crossed her arms, stood in front of him and said, "Go ahead and yell. Then I'll say you seduced me and I've lost my innocence."
Lin Xinghe's face turned pale and he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
If other people saw him standing with the princess, he would be speechless.
"You, what do you want to do?" Lin Xinghe mustered up the courage to ask the Fourth Princess.
"Simple, I want you."
Although there were bed warmers in her palace, she was tired of them all. She was interested in the young man in front of her.
Lin Xinghe's face turned even paler when he saw the naked desire in her eyes.
"It's still early, why don't we..."
Lin Xinghe didn't dare to hesitate and ran forward.
He would be a fool if he didn't run away, so he just had to get to where there were more people.
The Fourth Princess was chasing him from behind, and Lin Xinghe used all his strength as if the one chasing him was an evil ghost.
As he was running, he bumped into someone's arms, "No, sorry..."
A voice he had been thinking about for a long time sounded above his head, "Lin Xinghe?"
He looked up and found that it was Gu Qingyuan whom he had been looking for.
His hair was a little messy from running, and there was some sweat on his head. When he came out of Gu Qingyuan's arms, he said with some fear: "Save me!"
"What happened?"
Lin Xinghe hid behind Gu Qingyuan, still holding her arm.
"Someone just tried to molest me."
"Is there such a thing in the palace?"
He nodded affirmatively. After the Fourth Princess appeared, he retracted his head like a little turtle and hid his body behind Gu Qingyuan.
"It's her."
