The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 370 Retribution (Part 2)

Xiao Liulang didn't work overtime tonight, and the two went back to Bishui Hutong together.

As soon as they arrived at the door of the house, a small figure scurried out, pounced on Gu Jiao, hugged Gu Jiao's leg, and called out with a small voice of grievance: "Jiaojiao!"

It's small headroom.

He had been away from Jiaojiao for two days and two nights, he missed Jiaojiao so much, his heart ached when he thought of her!

Gu Jiao hugged the little guy on her lap: "Auntie let you come back?"

Xiao Jingkong said: "I want to come back myself!"

It was also Empress Dowager Zhuang who really couldn't stand this little trumpeter. Without Gu Jiao being by his side, he was really good at trumpeting. Even the little bastard raised by Eunuch Qin was made autistic by him.

It is important to have a great-great-grandson, but it is even more important to live until the day when the great-grandson comes out.

So when he proposed to go out of the palace again, Empress Dowager Zhuang hurriedly asked Eunuch Qin to pack him up and send him back.

After Xiao Jingkong finished speaking, he hugged Gu Jiao's neck, resting his small head on her shoulder: "Jiaojiao, I miss you so much, do you miss me a little bit?"

Gu Jiao was amused by him, and nodded amusedly: "Yes, I thought about it."

"I knew it!" The little guy was so proud that he writhed in Gu Jiao's arms.

Xiao Liulang looked at the little guy who was unscrupulous and coquettish with Gu Jiao, his handsome face turned black little by little.

"Jiaojiao, there is a lantern festival tonight!" Xiao Jingkong didn't notice the stinky face of the bad brother-in-law. He hugged Jiaojiao's neck and sighed, "I'm so old, I haven't seen the lantern festival yet!"

The little guy has also learned to beat around the bush.

Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang had nothing to do tonight, and Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun happened to be at home, so after dinner, the young couple went out with their three younger brothers and two secret guards.

The Lantern Festival is held on Chang'an Avenue. Except for the street and the end of the street, a long section of stalls in the middle are covered with dazzling lanterns. Some of these lanterns are sold directly, some are offered for rewards, and some meet friends with lanterns and get together. It is right to recite poetry.

Gu Jiao looked at it, and there was only one thought in her mind: There are so many people, so many people!

After coming to the capital for so long, it was the first time that Gu Jiao was so shocked to feel the prosperity of this city.

"Oh! Oh! I can't see it!" The small clear space was too small, completely blocked by the people around him, and he jumped around anxiously.

The dark guard hugged Xiao Jingkong and let him ride on his neck.

His gaze suddenly became higher, and Xiao Jingkong's eyes widened in surprise: "Wow!"

The air above is so fresh!

The dark guard wears a small clear space,

Following behind Gu Yan, Dark Guard B followed behind Gu Xiaoshun.

They are dark guards, not dragon shadow guards. Their brain circuits are normal, and they have very keen judgment and strong comprehensive action ability. They know that they only need to look at the three little men.

My uncle doesn't need the two of them to worry about it. The eldest lady is worth ten, so I will protect my uncle!

"Jiaojiao! Look! Lotus lantern!"

"Jiaojiao! Peach Lantern!"

"Jiaojiao! Tiger Lantern!"

When Xiao Qingkong saw a light, he wanted to tell Gu Jiao again. At first, he could get Gu Jiao's response, but he didn't know where to start, and they were scattered by the crowd.

When Xiao Qingkong turned around, Jiaojiao was gone!

"Jiaojiao?"

Just now a lantern maker came to a small stall, he didn't need copper coins to buy it, and he would give away if he guessed the lantern riddle correctly, so many people heard about it, and when the crowd got crowded, they pushed Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang aside.

The moment they were about to be washed away, the two reached out at the same time and grabbed each other's hand.

Gu Jiao did it subconsciously, and so did Xiao Liulang. The difference was that Gu Jiao was used to being nice to Xiao Liulang, so openly, aboveboard, and without any concealment.

Xiao Liulang has always been extremely restrained and restrained.

So, it was the first time for him to grab her hand without thinking.

Fortunately, Gu Jiao's mind is not that sensitive, maybe someone else should ask him why he is so active today?

Gu Jiao didn't ask, she just turned her head to look at him, her eyes were shining, and the corners of her lips slightly curved: "Don't worry, I will catch you, and I won't lose you."

Xiao Liulang was relieved.

Fortunately, she didn't think much about it.

But the next second, he frowned again.

Why didn't she think about it?

Didn't she notice that he took her hand? Doesn't she think things are not simple?

He took a deep breath, looked at her and said, "You..."

"Huh? There really are peach lanterns."

Gu Jiao looked at a big pink peach in front of her and exclaimed. After she finished speaking, she realized that he had also spoken just now. She asked, "What did you just say?"

Xiao Liulang opened his mouth: "...it's nothing."

There were more and more people, and the two held hands and walked to the end of Chang'an Avenue.

Xiao Liulang actually doesn't like excitement, he feels very noisy, too much sweat and makeup smell in the air will make him breathless, but none of this happened tonight.

A road that should have been very difficult seems to have become less difficult.

After visiting the Lantern Festival, they met Gu Yan and the others at the other end of Chang'an Avenue, Xiao Jingkong cried like a sieve.

"One more time! One more time! I want Jiaojiao!"

The Lantern Festival is incomplete without Jiaojiao, and Xiao Jingkong feels that he has spent a lot of shopping tonight!

He cried so sadly!

However, the lantern festivals were all gone, and the streets were desolate, with only the broken lantern papers that had been trampled on the ground left.

Even the streets fit his mood so well!

"Whoa—"

He howled!

It wasn't until Gu Jiao promised to take him to the lantern festival alone next time that he barely stopped crying, his small eyes were red and swollen, and he said with a twitch, "Then, then I'm going to sleep with Jiaojiao tonight."

The corner of Xiao Liulang's mouth twitched, little monk, I think your sadness is fake, but sleeping is real, right?

Gu Jiao agreed.

It's just that the little guy cried so hard that he was exhausted and fell asleep on the way back.

Xiao Liulang shook his little head back and forth, but he didn't wake up!

Xiao Liulang: "Hehe."

Xiao Liulang planned to carry Xiao Jingkong to Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun's room, and then went to Gu Jiao's east room by himself, but when he came to the main room, he heard Gu Xiaoshun say: "No brother-in-law, you don't have to talk to us tonight." Squeeze, Westinghouse's bed is fixed!"

Xiao Liulang was taken aback for a moment: "Fix it? Who did it?"

"I fixed it! I fixed it in the afternoon!" Gu Xiaoshun patted his chest and said.

He is his master's direct disciple, and his carpentry work is very good. It's just a bed, but he can still repair it!

and many more.

Why is everyone's face so ugly?

Is it because he cultivated too slowly?

...

The moon was dark and the wind was high, everyone fell asleep, and the noisy city fell into silence.

The sound of the wooden fish in the nunnery also stopped, and only sporadic candle lights danced lightly on the candlesticks.

Eunuch Wei stood outside the door, thinking that His Majesty had eaten this meal for too long, and why did he keep silent while eating?

Suddenly, the door of the meditation room was opened, and Concubine Jing came out slowly.

Eunuch Wei saluted hurriedly: "Ms. Taifei."

"Your Majesty was so busy with state affairs that he fell asleep while eating. Go and ask Hui'an to bring a mattress and a pillow."

Eunuch Wei looked in and saw the emperor sleeping on the dining table, he was very worried, but he still went to the little nun named Hui'an to get the mattress and pillow.

The wooden floors are clean.

Concubine Jing spread the mattress behind the emperor, and Eunuch Wei supported the emperor to lie down gently.

"Pillows," she said.

"Yes." The little nun placed a pillow on the emperor's head.

Concubine Jing personally opened the thin quilt and covered it gently for the emperor.

She held the emperor's hand and murmured: "Sleep, wake up, you will be mother's Hong'er again."

Eunuch Wei gave Concubine Jing a strange look.

This is a taboo, since she has not become the Empress Dowager, she has no right to call the emperor by name, let alone call herself mother.

However, what he cares more about is the phrase "Wake up, you will be your mother's Hong'er again", why do you say that?

Isn't it before you wake up?

The emperor slept for a long time, and it was already light when he woke up.

Concubine Jing guarded him all night, and when it was approaching dawn, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she fell asleep on the table beside her.

Her hand was holding the emperor's hand all the time, and when the emperor moved, she was awakened immediately.

Although it was covered with a thick mattress, it was no more comfortable than the dragon couch, and the emperor felt a little sore in his back.

"Eunuch Wei." He called out in a daze, he was still a little unconscious.

Concubine Jing sat up straight, looked at him tenderly with eyes full of eyes: "Hong'er."

The emperor looked at her with his eyes open, and frowned: "What's your name?"

Concubine Jing was slightly taken aback.

She looked at the emperor for a moment.

But he found that the emperor's eyes did not have the expected admiration, on the contrary, there was only iceberg-like indifference and alienation.
