Drunk House

  Chapter 359 Underestimation (one more)

  The cook in Meishan Bieyuan is very good at cooking, especially some wild vegetables, which have a special flavor.

  After lunch, Su Rong and Ye Guixue left Meishan Bieyuan and drove back to the city.

  Same as when they came, Ye Guixue and Su Rong played a game of chess, both of which were draws, and the carriage arrived at the gate of Xie's mansion, just as the game of chess was over.

  Su Rong didn't get out of the car as usual, but waited for Ye Guixue to speak.

  Ye Guixue said in a warm voice: "I plan to leave in two days. The only thing I can't let go of is my little niece Qiuying. The princess said earlier that she would arrange Qiuying to be taken care of in the East Palace. I think it is very appropriate, but I still have this idea now. I wonder if the princess has other ideas?"

  Su Rongdao: "If you trust me, you can place Xiao Qiuying in the East Palace. Although I haven't mentioned this matter to the Crown Prince, I think the Crown Prince will not object."

  Ye Guixue nodded, "Then arrange it like this!"

  He pursed the corner of his mouth, "Will the queen see me off on the day I leave?"

   "Naturally." Su Rong nodded.

  Ye Guixue smiled, and said softly, "Prince, get out of the car! I'm fine."

  Su Rong nodded, got out of the carriage, and waved to him as usual.

  Ye Guixue took a quiet look at her, lowered the curtain, and the carriage left Dongsi Hutong.

  Su Rong stood at the door, watched Yegui's snow carriage go away, and let out a sigh of relief, feeling extremely exhausted all over.

  She didn't go to the courtyard where the eldest lady lived, but went straight back to the courtyard where she lived. After entering the house, she returned to the bed, got into the quilt, and fell asleep.

  The eldest lady heard that Su Rong was back, looked at the sky, and asked strangely: "Why did you come back so early? The wintersweet on the hillside outside the city hasn't bloomed yet? Didn't you get a reward?"

   No one answered her.

  So the eldest lady went to Su Rong's yard.

  A servant girl sent by the princess mansion went up to the eldest lady and said in a low voice, "Miss Seven looked extremely tired when she came back. I told anyone not to disturb her. She wants to have a good sleep."

  The lady thought to herself, what happened? She asked in a low voice: "When she came back, was she injured?"

  The maid shook her head, "I don't see any injuries, but I look tired."

  The eldest lady nodded, "In that case, send someone to tell me when she wakes up."

  Handmaid should be.

  The eldest lady took two steps back, still not at ease, she turned around again, came to the window, leaned close to the window, opened the sash lattice window, peeked in, saw that the curtains in the back room had not been drawn, vaguely saw Su Rong lying on the bed covered with a quilt, she was indeed sleeping, she turned and left.

  Ye Guixue, who returned to Duke Cheng's mansion, couldn't even smile when facing Ye Qiuying who was waiting in her room.

  Ye Qiuying was a very sensitive child. Looking at Ye Guixue's face, she carefully pulled his cuff and asked, "Little uncle, what happened? You don't look very happy."

  Ye Guixue looked at Ye Qiuying's grape-like eyes, sat down, and said in a gentle voice, "Little uncle is a little unhappy, you can tell."

  Ye Qiuying raised her small face, "Your complexion is not very good, and your expression is not very good, it is easy to see."

   "Little clever ghost." Ye Guixue pinched the tip of her nose and sighed softly, "It's my little uncle who is too confident. I just realized today that no one should be underestimated, and I can't rely on my own ability to be more righteous than myself."

  Ye Qiuying frowned, "Little uncle, did something happen? It's about sister Su Qi?"

  Ye Guixue nodded, "Yes, it's about her."

  Ye Qiuying was puzzled, "What's wrong with sister Su Qi? She treats you very well, little uncle. I can feel that she likes you very much."

   "She admires me more." Ye Guixue said: "For a while, she has been seriously trying to like me, but unfortunately, I was too confident and didn't grasp it, so that now, she..."

  He suddenly stopped, laughed dumbfounded, and put his hands on his forehead, "I really...how can I talk about whether I like it or not with a child like you."

  He reached out and rubbed Ye Qiuying's head, "Your sister Su Qi still likes you very much. As for me, my little uncle will handle it by himself. You little brain, don't pretend to be an adult all day long. Be careful not to grow taller."

  Ye Qiuying was already worried, but now she was rubbed by Ye Guixue, half of it was loosened, and she pouted, "Little uncle, although I am a child, but now I am the only one who can tell you what is in my heart. Just don't treat me like a child. I can understand what you say. Otherwise, you will be alone, and it will be very uncomfortable."

  Ye Guixue laughed, "You're a big kid."

  He stretched out his hand to hug Ye Qiuying, let her sit on the seat, and said softly to her: "I have already made an agreement with your sister Su Qi. After I leave Daliang Capital, she will place you in the East Palace."

  Ye Qiuying looked at him, "Little uncle, what happened to you guys? You can't keep me from knowing, otherwise I won't know what's going on after you leave."

  Ye Guixue thought for a while, looked at her young adult appearance, nodded in agreement, "Yes."

  He said softly: "She returned my betrothal gift to me. She doesn't want the tiger amulet for a hundred thousand soldiers. So, our engagement is broken."

  Ye Qiuying's face turned pale, "Little uncle, why is this happening?"

  Ye Guixue said: "It's my little uncle's fault, I didn't make her fall in love with me. It's also because I was too confident and didn't make sure. In short, we have agreed to get along like close friends. If you stay in Daliang, she will mention it to His Royal Highness and place you in the East Palace. This will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, and your life is safe. As for me, after returning to Nanchu, I will discuss with your grandfather and your father..."

  Ye Qiuying bit her lips, "Little uncle, you have broken off the engagement, and she has returned you the tiger charms of 100,000 soldiers and horses. Sister Su Qi doesn't want to go to Nanchu to become king?"

  Ye Guixue shook her head, "It's not that she doesn't want to be king, but she doesn't want to use the position of husband in exchange for the Ye family's support for her."

  Ye Qiuying was puzzled, "Why?"

  Ye Guixue explained patiently and warmly, "She has someone more important and caring. Even if she doesn't become the throne, she can't bear to let her down. And I, maybe I was wrong at the beginning. I thought that the tiger charm of the Ye family and a hundred thousand soldiers and horses was my reliance and reliance. She is such a calm and rational person, so she naturally knows what is best for her. Since she accepts me, she has made up her mind. Yes. It's a long stream, and it may not be deep, and slowly, little by little, it took root in her heart. But now, it is obvious that I was wrong, so I said that I was overconfident."

  He sighed softly, "If I had known earlier, I would have sought her heart. I am the one who underestimated people."

  Ye Qiuying seemed to understand, and asked in a low voice: "Little uncle, who did you underestimate? Is it... the little brother from the Zhou family?"

  Ye Guixue was slightly stunned, remembering that Ye Qiuying went to Dongsi Hutong with him to congratulate Su Xingze that day, and Zhou Gu went to Dongsi Hutong with Su Xingze, Su Rong and others that day. Zhou Gu met Ye Qiuying and gave her a shuttlecock with a smile. Not only that, he also kicked the shuttlecock with Ye Qiuying for a while. He kicked the shuttlecock in a variety of ways. He could kick the shuttlecock into the air for hundreds of times without falling, which made Ye Qiuying scream with her mouth covered and her eyes wide open. In this kind of thing, no one in the family would play with her. He was always prudent, and he didn't play shuttlecock with her. From then on, Ye Qiuying called Zhou Gu little brother.

  She also thinks Zhou Gu is very good.

  He smiled, "Yeah, that's him. The little uncle underestimated him."

  In any case, he never thought that Zhou Gu, who had been resolutely divorced by Su Rong, would turn his back on him and **** her away from him.

  He was two years younger than him, and he hadn't entered the court yet, but he was bloodless, so he was given such a big gift.
