Her gaze first landed on Gu Lin Chao. Suddenly thinking of yesterday’s incident, she grimaced and turned away her gaze.

Of course, with Gu Lin Chao’s character, it was impossible for him to do something so boring, so the person who had just knocked down a corner of the fake mountain at the back must have been Wen Ting Xuan.

That muffled laughter must have come from him as well.

She had wanted to fix him up a bit, but froze when she saw the armour and sword he was wearing, “Second Brother, why are you dressed like this?”

Seeing that she finally noticed the attire on his body, Wen Ting Xuan said rather proudly, “Naturally, it’s because I won the top spot in this martial arts test, and the Emperor has already appointed me as a General of the Army. Starting tomorrow, I will be serving in the military barracks.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Qi Qi was very happy, “Congratulations Second Brother.”

Wen Ting Xuan was concerned about Gu Lin Chao being here so he didn’t dare to get too carried away, and he only smiled.

Wen Qi Qi naturally understood him. If not for Gu Lin Chao’s presence here, she was afraid that this kid’s tail would be going up to the sky.

She coughed lightly and looked at Gu Lin Chao, “Wang Ye, it can’t be that you’re the one who gave Second Brother the position through the back door, right?”

Hearing this, without waiting for Gu Lin Chao to speak, Wen Ting Xuan was the first to yell and grunt, “What are you talking about? I got this position by strength, what back door? Don’t you talk nonsense.”

Gu Lin Chao also said, “It’s true that Ting Xuan got it with strength. I wasn’t in the capital on the second and third day of the competition.” After a pause, he said in a warm voice, “Even if I was in the capital, Ting Xuan doesn’t need me to give him the back door. He won first place in all three days of the competition.”

When Wen Ting Xuan heard this, he immediately looked at Wen Qi Qi, “Do you hear that? I don’t need a back door at all.”

Wen Qi Qi rolled her eyes, “Wang Ye was being polite, but you took it seriously?”

Wen Ting Xuan sniffed, his handsome face reddened and looked at Gu Lin Chao, “I ……”

Seeing this, Gu Lin Chao busily relieved him, “I’m not saying polite words, Ting Xuan does have that strength.”

Looking at the two people who are more serious, Wen Qi Qi was somewhat aloof, “Alright, alright, I’m joking with you guys.”

Wen Ting Xuan glared at her in a somewhat depressed manner, this girl was really lawless.

If not for Gu Lin Chao being here, he would have to teach her a lesson.

Wen Qi Qi saw his stifled feelings in his eyes. Her eyes rolled, and holding back her laughter, she suddenly walked over to Gu Lin Chao’s side and pulled his sleeve. She then lifted her small face and said in a resigned manner, “Your Highness, Second Brother just bullied me, you must be the judge for me.”

At those words, Wen Ting Xuan’s face stiffened, and he had a bad premonition.

No, when had he bullied her.

How could this girl talk nonsense with her eyes open?

However, he quickly remembered what had just happened and stared at her with wide eyes full of dismay.

No way, that wasn’t a big deal. Wasn’t he just firing from behind and knocking off a corner of the fake mountain?

Did she have to complain to Gu Lin Chao?

However, he didn’t believe that Gu Lin Chao could still reprimand him for such a trivial matter.

Although Gu Lin Chao was older than him, his seniority to Qi Qi was greater than his.

If it was an ordinary family, Gu Lin Chao would still have to call himself Second Brother.

Thinking this way, Wen Ting Xuan had the courage of his convictions, and was just about to take out his elder brother’s style and reprimand Wen Qi Qi, when he saw that his Regent’s brother-in-law suddenly turned his head to look at him.

When Wen Ting Xuan saw that he suddenly looked at him, his heart felt a bit furtive and he had a bad premonition.

Shen Xiang Courtyard.

Seeing Wen Qi Qi return, Lu Qiao was surprised, “Miss, why have you come back?”

Wen Qi Qi said, “If I didn’t come back here, where else could I go?”

Looking at her own young lady, obviously in a bad mood, Lu Xiao muttered in a low voice, “This slave girl thought that young lady was going to stay in the West Garden tonight and not come back.”

When this matter was mentioned, Wen Qi Qi was depressed.

She wanted to stay, but she wasn’t prepared to do so.

Thinking about this, Wen Qi Qi was even more depressed.

Gu Lin Chao, that idiot. How could he be so indifferent when a beautiful woman throws herself at him?

Did he really want her to take the initiative?

She sighed, it was better to forget about it.

At this time, Lu Qiao suddenly asked, “Miss, where is this painting and calligraphy going to be hung?”

Wen Qi Qi came back to her senses and saw the calligraphy and painting she was holding in her hand, then she remembered what she had said in front of Gu Lin Chao in the evening.

After a pause, she surveyed her room, then, raising her hand, she pointed to the wall directly opposite the door, “Hang it there.” Hanging it in that place, one could see it at a glance as soon as they entered the door.

Lu Qiao nodded, “Then this slave girl will go and find someone to hang it up.”

Wen Qi Qi nodded, “Good.”

When she came out after bathing, the calligraphy and painting had already been hung.

Looking at the calligraphy and painting on the wall, Wen Qi Qi was quite satisfied. She really wanted to ask Gu Lin Chao to come over and take a look, but when she thought of what had just happened, she grimaced. She would rather forget about it.

After she dried her hair, she sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced her internal martial arts.

Although practicing internal martial arts was a long process, she was still unwilling to give up.

She practiced a little bit every day and believed that she could always succeed.

……

The next day.

Wen Qi Qi had nothing to do, so she carried her staff and went to the garden to practice.

She realized that the originally very common staff technique was immediately much more powerful when it was combined with the set of footwork taught by Gu Lin Chao.

She was very happy about this.

After finishing a set of staff skills, she remembered that she had been practicing the internal martial arts during this period of time, so she wanted to try out the results.

When Wen Ting Xuan followed Gu Lin Chao from the veranda, he saw his own little sister, who kept pushing her palms in the direction of the rockery.

“What is she doing?” Wen Ting Xuan asked, the corners of his mouth twitching.

Gu Lin Chao naturally also saw Wen Qi Qi’s odd behavior in the garden, and his footsteps paused, “She’s been practicing her internal martial arts lately, she should be testing her results.”

Wen Ting Xuan heard this and was a little staggered.

Was this sister of his an oddball?

Did she think she was a martial arts prodigy, or what?

After only a few days of practicing, she was delusional enough to think that her internal strength would suddenly increase dramatically?

Wen Qi Qi had struck out several palms at the rockery. Not to mention that not a single stone had rolled off the rockery, even the grass stems and leaves on it had not moved a bit.

Was she standing too far away?

Thinking that, she took a few steps forward, set up her horse stance, and launched another palm in the direction of the rockery.

She had no hope, but then, a miracle suddenly happened.

With a “pop” sound, the fake mountain suddenly cracked a corner and hit the ground.

Wen Qi Qi was stunned. Her eyes widened in shock. Oh my god, she had actually knocked down a corner of the fake mountain with her bare hands.

Could she be the legendary martial arts genius?

In just a few days, her power had improved to the point that she was able to knock down a rock on the rockery with a single palm strike?

While she was gloating, so happy that she wanted to jump up and down, a muffled laugh suddenly came from behind her.

The smile on her face froze and she slowly turned around.

When she saw Gu Lin Chao and Wen Ting Xuan standing behind her, she froze, then reacted, pulling a small face and said, “So, just now, when the fake mountain suddenly crumbled, it was you guys who did it?”

Chapter 295: If You Stay, I Must Serve in Bed

The girl suddenly came over, the hot and wet breath from her mouth, brushing against the side of his ear. Gu Lin Chao felt that not only his face was hot, but his body was also hot, as well as the words that this girl said ……

His fingers resting on his legs, quietly curled up tightly and he realized that his lips were dry.

“Why is Wang Ye’s face so red?” The girl’s soft fingers, suddenly gently poked at his face. Gu Lin Chao’s eyes darkened, sensing that there was something in his body that looked like it was about to get out of his control.

Looking at the girl’s beautiful face close at hand, the knot in his throat slid and his fingers moved, and it was at this moment that Wang Hou De walked in with his subordinates.

“Wang Ye, Wang Ye, the dinner is ready.”

Gu Lin Chao snapped back to his senses. The passion rising in his eyes receded, his fingers clenched. He got up and said in a muffled voice towards Wen Qi Qi, “You eat first.” After saying that, he hurried into the inner room.

Looking at his hurriedly walking into the figure, Wen Qi Qi felt somewhat strange. What’s wrong with Gu Lin Chao?

It couldn’t be that he was aroused by her to the point of reacting, could it?

She raised her eyebrows.

But soon, she shook her head and dismissed her thoughts.

Gu Lin Chao has always been sensible, that is, after being hit by the bone-dispersing incense, he was unable to hold back from touching her. She didn’t do anything just now, but she just verbally took advantage of him a little bit, it’s not as if she was going to ……

Thinking of this, she shrugged her shoulders, and sat down at the table, waiting for him to come out so that they could eat together.

Gu Lin Chao didn’t let her wait too long, and in no time, he came out.

Wen Qi Qi’s eyes were sharp enough to see the hair on his forehead was a little wet, as if he had just washed his face. She paused and couldn’t help but ask, “What did Wang Ye just do?”

The corners of Gu Lin Chao’s mouth pursed, and when he met the girl’s clear gaze, his expression was slightly stunned. Immediately, he shook his head, his voice clear and cold, “Nothing.”

“Oh.” Wen Qi Qi saw that he was not willing to say, then did not ask more questions.

After dinner, Wen Qi Qi thought that Gu Lin Chao should have obediently kept her in the West Garden for the night. If he opened his mouth and asked, did she want to stay?

Because if she stayed, she would inevitably have to serve in bed.

Thinking about this aspect, she was a bit torn in her heart.

But when she turned her eyes to see his handsome and peerless face, she felt that it was actually not a big deal to stay. Anyway, it was not like she was at a disadvantage, and it was just the right time for her to try to unlock the various poses on the erotic drawings.

Moreover, she was curious, what would a sensible and serious person like Gu Lin Chao be like in bed?

Would he be gentle, or wild?

Curiosity flashed across Wen Qi Qi’s beautiful peach blossom eyes.

However, she had no way of knowing this, but she could be sure that it must be sweaty.

Thinking of Gu Lin Chao sweating on the couch, for some reason, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated and she suddenly became a little weak in the legs ……

While Wen Qi Qi was fantasizing, the man’s low voice suddenly rang out, interrupting her thoughts.

“Wang Hou De, send Wang Fei back.”

Wen Qi Qi: “……”

What Gu Lin Chao said was tantamount to pouring a basin of cold water on her all of a sudden, and any thoughts were swept away.

Wen Qi Qi couldn’t help but raise her eyes and look at the man’s cool and unruffled face, her peach-blossom eyes flashed with disbelief.

What is it? He has such a beautiful woman in front of him, but he can still say that he will send her back like this?

She bit her lip and gave him a depressed look.

Gu Lin Chao was stunned and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Wang Ye, are you serious?” Wen Qi Qi asked in an exasperated voice.

“What?” Gu Lin Chao looked at him in disbelief.

Wen Qi Qi became even more depressed and said stiffly, “It’s nothing, then I won’t disturb Wang Ye’s rest.” After saying that, she walked straight out.

Looking at her back as she hurriedly walked out, Gu Lin Chao furrowed his brows… Why did he feel as if Wen Qi Qi was angry?

But why?

Obviously, she was just fine.

Gu Lin Chao was puzzled.

Ellie Note: Qi Qi, either jump him or leave the poor man be. You should know by now he isn’t going to take the initiative.

Edited by EllieKit

Gu Lin Chao walked out from behind his desk, “In the evening, let’s have dinner together.”

Wen Qi Qi heard this and looked at him with some surprise. Reacting to his proactive invitation, she blinked her eyes and agreed extremely quickly, “Yes.”

After thinking about it, she handed over the calligraphy in her hand, to Wang Hou De.

“Eunuch Wang, please go and help me send it back to the Shen Xiang Courtyard.”

Wang Hou De hastily took it and agreed, “I’ll go now.”

Wen Qi Qi saw him go out, and only then did she turn back to hold Gu Lin Chao’s right hand, “The injuries on His Majesty’s left arm, you need to change the medicine today, come on, I’ll help you change it.”

Gu Lin Chao froze, wanting to say no, but against the girl’s warm and soft eyes, he couldn’t say the words of refusal after all.

The two of them went back to the Western Garden together.

Although the medical skills of the old man in the clinic was good, the town was remote, and the medicine prescribed by the old man, was also more crude. Yesterday, after returning to the capital, Imperial Doctor Lin had already re-prescribed the internal and external medicines.

Wen Qi Qi found the medicine and reapplied it to Gu Lin Chao.

Gu Lin Chao sat on a chair. He looked at the girl’s meticulous and serious appearance under the lamplight, and a smile crossed his eyes.

Although Wen Qi Qi had seen his wound long ago, when she looked at it again, her heart could not help but be shocked.

“Your Highness, does the wound still hurt?” She couldn’t help but lower her head and blow gently on his wound.

Gu Lin Chao’s gaze landed on her pouting pink lips, and his handsome face burned as he turned away his gaze.

This wound is really nothing to him, he was just about to say that it doesn’t hurt anymore, but he heard the girl say first: “The wound is so deep, it must be very, very painful ……” Saying this, she suddenly let out a soft sob.

Gu Lin Chao’s heart tightened, his fingers clenched, hesitated, reached out and lifted her face, when he saw her crystalline teardrops, sliding across her white, smooth face, his heart sank. He frowned and asked, “Why are you crying?”

“I’m not crying.” Wen Qi Qi pushed away his hand and said in a twisted voice, but her voice clearly carried a trace of choking.

The corners of Gu Lin Chao’s mouth pursed, and for a moment he didn’t know how to coax her.

A moment later, he took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears.

Looking at the man’s furrowed brows, Wen Qi Qi didn’t speak for a long time before she mumbled, “…… Seeing Your Highness’s wounds, my heart hurts and aches in my chest ……” After saying this, she lowered her head and applied medicine to his wounds. She then took cotton gauze to bandage him.

Afraid of tearing his wound, she moved with extreme caution.

Hearing what she said, Gu Lin Chao was greatly shaken inwardly.

He had been on the battlefield for half his life, how could he not be injured?

On the battlefield, injuries are commonplace. He had long been accustomed to it and didn’t take it seriously, but for the first time, there was such a girl who said so clearly that she felt sorry for him, which made Gu Lin Chao’s heart soften into a mess all of a sudden.

Only after a long time did he say, “It’s just a small injury, don’t worry about it.”

Wen Qi Qi just happened to give him a hug to finish tying up the gauze. She pulled his sleeve down, and when she heard this, her eyebrows knit tightly, “How can you say it’s a little wound, the wound is so deep and so long ……” she said, again looking like she was going to cry out.

Seeing this, Gu Lin Chao hurriedly spoke out to guarantee, “I won’t do this next time, I won’t let myself get hurt again.”

“Really?” Wen Qi Qi looked at him skeptically.

“Uh-huh.” Gu Lin Chao nodded his head.

Wen Qi Qia beamed, “Then if you go back on your word, I’ll have to beat your ……” Here, she paused, her eyes turned wryly, and suddenly came to his ear, whispering, “If you go back on your word, I’ll beat your ass.” After saying this, she saw that a certain prince’s handsome face had already reddened, spreading to the roots of his ears.

Authors Note: Wen Qi Qi are you sure you are not flirting with Wang Ye? Flirting so immovably, Wang Ye who is such a rookie to love will be unable to resist.

Chapter 293 – Gu Lin Chao’s Heart Gives Birth to an Inexplicable Sense of Satisfaction

The owner of the Orchid Garden Calligraphy and Painting Shop sniffed and was very sorry.

He had been in this industry for many years, and had appraised countless paintings and calligraphy, but there was not a single pair of characters that could compare to the one in front of him.

Therefore, in his opinion, this pair of characters must have come from the hand of a certain reclusive scholar.

Originally, he also intended to personally go to the door to ask that great scholar to give his some calligraphy, if he could get that great scholar to write a piece of calligraphy, his business of this calligraphy and painting workshop, will certainly rise more than double.

Unfortunately, this little girl is not willing to disclose the name of the other party.

Thinking about it, he asked in a compromise: “Miss, this set of characters of yours, are you willing to sell it to me?”

Wen Qi Qi saw that he only took one look at the characters and was so respectful and appreciative of it, and thought to herself, ‘This boss seems to have a discerning eye as well.’

However, on this trip, she had no intention of selling these characters, and thus was somewhat surprised by his question.

Still, she couldn’t help but say, “It depends on how much silver you are willing to offer.”

The owner of the calligraphy and painting store hurriedly raised a finger, “It’s worth at least this much.”

Wen Qi Qi asked, “Ten thousand taels?”

The owner of the calligraphy and painting store was surprised, “Ten thousand taels? Miss, are you trying to rob me?”

Wen Qi Qi blankly glanced at him, “This piece of writing of mine is worth 10,000 taels of gold, you’re too visionless, I don’t want to sell it to you.” The other party must not know Gu Lin Chao’s stamp, otherwise those three characters alone would be worth ten thousand gold.

Although the owner of the calligraphy and painting store had the ability to appreciate calligraphy and paintings, he was still a bit shallow in his knowledge, and surprisingly, he didn’t even recognize Gu Lin Chao’s personal seal.

“I’m not selling this word, you help me frame it.” Wen Qi Qi said.

Although the owner of the calligraphy and painting store felt that this character was rare, ten thousand taels would still be too expensive.

Unexpectedly, this girl is so young, but her asking price is so ruthless.

She was simply asking for a lot of money.

He shook his head, and although he had some regrets in his heart, he didn’t dwell on it.

Instead, he honestly helped Wen Qi Qi frame the calligraphy.

After the calligraphy was framed, Wen Qi Qi returned to the Regent Residence.

She also specially took the framed calligraphy to the study.

“Your Highness, look, do you see what this is?”

As soon as she walked into the study, she showed it to Gu Lin Chao with gusto.

Gu Lin Chao was burying his head at his desk, when he heard this, he was stunned and raised his eyes towards her.

When he saw the framed calligraphy in her hand, he looked visibly stunned, “What are you ……”

“Doesn’t Wang Ye remember, this is the calligraphy you wrote to me in the morning with your own hand ah.” Wen Qi Qi explained.

Gu Lin Chao naturally remembered this matter, just looking at the framed calligraphy, he was a bit surprised.

After a pause, he said, “It’s just an ordinary set of characters, there’s no need to go to so much trouble.”

Wen Qi Qi said with a straight face, “How can this be an ordinary character? It was written by your own hand, Wang Ye, and is unique in the world today. I naturally have to treat it carefully. Not only that, I’m going to hang it in my room and view it day after day.”

When Gu Lin Chao heard this, his handsome face burned a little.

She also wants to view it day in and day out ……

Although he felt that she was exaggerating a bit, Gu Lin Chao had to admit that his heart was doubly delighted by the girl’s words.

At the same time, an inexplicable feeling of fulfillment unexpectedly arose in his heart.

This feeling was even more pleasing to him than if he had won a battle.

Wen Qi Qi didn’t notice his difference and said, “Wang Ye, I’ll go back first, I have to hang this calligraphy up.”

Gu Lin Chao sniffed, he returned the brush in his hand to the brush holder, hesitated, and called her back, “Wait a moment.”

Wen Qi Qi looked at him suspiciously, “What’s wrong?”

Ellie Note: Bet that shop owner would kick himself if he knew whose calligraphy he just passed up on.

  Chapter 292 – Why has Gu Lin Chao’s Face Change?

When Wen Qi Qi heard the words, her heart ached for a while. Gu Lin Chao was really a loser, such a good painting, he even wanted to destroy it?

Although it is a pornographic picture, but that painting skill was unique in the world. If it was destroyed like this, it would be a pity.

Thinking about it, her eyes turned around and said, “How about this, Eunuch Wang will give the box to me, I will go and destroy it for you, and make sure that it leaves no traces to satisfy Wang Ye.”

Wang Hou De thought of the fact that this box was given to Wang Ye by her, plus the fact that she had already made a guarantee, so he answered, “That’s fine, then I’ll trouble you, Wang Fei?”

“Eunuch Wang is polite, this is nothing to me. I’ll just bring it to the Shen Xiang Courtyard to destroy it.” Wen Qi Qi said with a smile.

Wang Hou De sighed in relief and watched her head towards Shen Xiang Courtyard.

What he didn’t know was that Wen Qi Qi returned to Shen Xiang Courtyard with the box, then locked herself in her room and didn’t come out again.

If Gu Lin Chao had seen the scene in the room, he would have wanted to kill Wang Hou De.

He had taken every precaution, but not against Wang Houde.

He did not let Wen Qi Qi look at the scroll, but now it was spread out on the floor, and she squatted next to it, admiring it.

“Tsk, worthy of a palace erotic picture, this is also too erotic right ……”

But looking at it, she suddenly furrowed her brows.

The face of the man in the painting, how did it become Gu Lin Chao’s face, and the face of the woman in the painting, it seems to be somewhat similar to her ……

Thinking that she had thought of something she shouldn’t have, she hastily slapped her burning face to stop her rambling thoughts.

She didn’t dare to look at the erotic pictures again. She hurriedly put them away, stuffed them back into the box, and then kicked them under the bed.

Seeing that Wen Qi Qi had gone in for half a day and didn’t come out, Lu Qiao couldn’t help but feel a little worried. She knocked on the door, “Miss, the kitchen has made your favourite fried chicken for you, this slave girl has brought it to you.”

As soon as her words ended, the door opened, and Wen Qi Qi patted her face while walking out in a feeble manner.

“Miss what’s wrong with you?” Seeing her red face, Lu Qiao couldn’t help but ask.

Wen Qi Qi took the fried chicken in her hand and said vaguely, “I’m just a little hot.”

Lu Qiao hurriedly said, “This slave girl will go and get you some water.”

“Good.” Wen Qi Qi nodded and carried the fried chicken out of the room. She sat down directly at the stone table in the courtyard.

She pulled off the leg of the fried chicken and took a hard bite, however, the fried chicken that she usually liked so much, was somewhat tasteless in her mouth at this time, mainly because her heart was still too weak.

Did she really think about Gu Lin Chao like that?

Thinking of this, she shivered and felt that she was a little out of sorts.

Sure enough, that kind of thing, you can’t look at it too much. If you look at it too much, you will become strange.

Thinking about it, she took the words Gu Lin Chao had written to her and decided to go out and find a framer.

She wanted to frame the words Gu Lin Chao had written for her.

She asked someone and heard that the painting and calligraphy workshop called Orchid Garden had the best framer, so she went straight there.

When she entered the Orchid Garden Painting and Calligraphy Workshop, it was indeed very grand inside. Any painting hanging on the wall could be called a masterpiece of the world.

As soon as the Orchid Garden Painting and Calligraphy Shop’s owner saw the words she handed over, he was awestruck and praised them again and again.

“This poem is really marvelous, and this writing, really is the most graceful writing I’ve ever seen ……”

The owner of the calligraphy and painting store praised it a lot, and at the end of the day, he remembered to ask: “Miss, I wonder which master’s hand this characters came from?”

Wen Qi Qi mysteriously said, “I cannot tell you this.”

Edited by EllieKit

Wen Qi Qi continued, “Sweets can make you feel happy, Wang Ye should try to eat more.”

Gu Lin Chao listened to her rambling voice, and the corner of his mouth curled up, “Okay.”

After finishing the snacks in her hand, Wen Qi Q wiped her hands with a handkerchief, then said, “Wang Ye, then I won’t disturb your work, I’ll go back first.” Saying that, she placed the tray of snacks into his hands.

She then instructed, “If Wang Ye is hungry, then eat a piece. Our family’s cook is good at her craft, and this peach blossom cake is well made.” After saying that, she hugged the set of characters and left.

Our family ……

Gu Lin Chao was stunned. Looking down at the plate of snacks in his hand, a smile swept between his brows.

A moment later, he put down the plate and sat down behind the desk, but when he saw the box on the desk, his face abruptly became somber.

Why would his mother let Xiao Yan bring him this kind of thing?

And Xiao Yan, he must have known what was inside the box, so he intentionally gave the box to Wen Qi Qi, and caused her to see such an unclean image.

Thinking of this, his face became ugly.

“Someone come!” He suddenly raised his voice in a deep tone.

Wang Hou De immediately walked in, “Master?”

“Take the contents of this box and destroy them.” Gu Lin Chao commanded.

Wang Houde didn’t know what was inside the box, but knew that it was sent over by Wang Fei.

He was a bit puzzled, but he didn’t dare to be negligent.

“Yes.” He hurried forward, picked up the box and left.

As soon as Wang Hou De left, Gu Lin Chao remembered something and got up and walked to the bookshelf, taking down the scroll he had just put on it.

His long fingers slowly unfolded the scroll.

A beautiful young girl, jumped on it, the beautiful eyes looked forward with a clever smile…….

If Wen Qi Q saw the painting, her jaw would drop, because the person in the painting was her.

And things are not like what Gu Lin Chao said. Not only is the painting not bad, but she has been painted in an exceptionally vivid way, and between the knitted brows and the smile, it’s had all of her charm and charisma.

Gu Lin Chao’s gaze fell on the young girl in the painting, and his handsome face couldn’t help but get a little hot.

Just now, when he was painting, what came to his mind was the knitted brows and smile of Wen Qi Q.

He subconsciously drew her out …….

He raised his hand and pinched his brow, incredulous himself that he would do such an absurd thing.

After all, this was what he drew behind Wen Qi Q’s back.

Thinking of this, Gu Lin Chao pursed his lips, looked at it for a while, and then put the painting back away.

Besides, after Wang Hou De left the study, he went to find a hidden place and tried to destroy the contents of the chest.

He has not yet opened the box, and does not know what is contained inside, but thinking of the obvious tone of disgust when Wang Ye mentioned the box just now, Wang Houde felt that the things inside, must be something dirty and filthy.

Since it was something dirty and filthy, then naturally he had to keep it away from his master.

However, when he was looking around on the veranda, searching for a place, a hand suddenly reached over from behind and patted his shoulder.

Wang Hou De was so startled that he almost threw the box in his arms, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Wen Qi Qi. He patted his heart and said in shock, “What’s the matter, Wang Fei? You scared this servant a bit.”

“It’s broad daylight, what did Eunuch Wang do to be so startled?” Wen Qi Q asked with a raised eyebrow.

Wang Hou De hastily shook his head to clarify, “I didn’t do anything.”

As Wen Qi Q’s eyes fell on the box in his hand, she paused and asked, “Eunuch Wang is holding a box, what are you trying to do?”

Wang Hou De said, “Wang Ye asked this slave to destroy the contents of this box, and this slave is looking for a place to do so.”

Thinking about it, she thoughtfully said, “Suddenly having to make a painting out in such a short time, I’m afraid that Wang Ye is not inspired. It doesn’t matter, when Wang Ye is free next time you can help me paint another one, you can also give me a set of characters now.”

She had seen Gu Lin Chao’s writing, and it was really beautiful, quite elegant, strong and forceful. Every stroke was just as upright and elegant as his character, and between the lines, there was even a rare righteousness.

She believed that after those literati read it, they would definitely pursue it very much.

Gu Lin Chao smiled. He set the painting aside on the bookshelf behind him, walked back to the table, and lifted his pen to write a pair of characters for her.

Almost instantly, he finished writing it.

Wen Qi Qi was just about to go over to see what he had written, when she saw him hand over the finished characters to her.

She looked down and cried out in surprise, “Isn’t this, isn’t this the poem I recited at the last palace banquet?”

“Recited?” Gu Lin Chao froze.

Wen Qi Qi said, “Yes, does Wang Ye still think that with my qualifications I can compose such a famous poem from over a thousand years ago?”

“A thousand years old famous poem?” Gu Lin Chao frowned. He admitted that the poem was indeed very good, but if it was a famous poem of the past, why had he never read it before?

“Yes, it’s the famous poem of the past thousand years. It’s something I accidentally read from a book, the author’s name is Wang Han, it’s a poem he made when he accompanied the army to the border.” Wen Qi qi paused, “Your Highness hasn’t heard of it, perhaps it’s because this poet is too low-key, plus it’s too old.”

Gu Lin Chao was surprised when he heard this. He then took the paper scroll from her hand and re-penned the words “Poet Wang Han” next to the poem.

Seeing this, Wen Qi Qi quickly said, “Can you put on your personal seal Wang Ye?” Seeing his gaze looking doubtful, she hurriedly said, “This is the first time that Wang Ye has written for me, I want to properly treasure it.”

Gu Lin Chao pursed his lips, but did not hesitate. He directly took his personal seal and stamped his name at the bottom of the paper scroll.

Seeing that he was done, Wen Qi Qi hurriedly held it up with both hands.

When she saw the three words Gu Heng Zhi at the bottom of the character, her eyes immediately blossomed with color.

Haha, she was going to be rich.

“Many thanks, Wang Ye, Wang Ye has worked hard.” She said with a smile and brought over the desserts on the side, “This is what I just went to the kitchen to bring, it’s just been cooked from the pot, oh, Wang Ye should try it”

For these types of sweets, Gu Lin Chao didn’t love them. He shook his head, “I’m not hungry, you can eat it yourself.”

“But it’s really delicious, it’s too bad that you don’t try it.” Wen Qi Qi said. She picked up the pastry and took a bite, smacking her lips in admiration, “It’s really too tasty.”

Turning her head to see his unmoved look, she subconsciously handed him the pastry in her hand, which she had taken a bite of, and held it to his mouth, softly urging, “Wang Ye quickly taste it.”

Gu Lin Chao was stunned and wanted to remind her that she had eaten this pastry.

But when he met the girl’s pure and unsullied eyes, he opened his mouth in a mysterious manner.

Wen Qi Qi smoothly stuffed the pastry in.

“Is it delicious?” She couldn’t wait to ask, not realizing in the slightest that her fingers pressed against the man’s lips and tongue.

Gu Lin Chao lowered his eyes and chewed, and upon hearing this, his phoenix eyes fell on her lips, hesitated, and nodded, “Uh-huh.”

Once Wen Qi Qi heard this, she smiled and said, “See, I didn’t lie to you, it’s really delicious.” Saying that, she picked up a piece of pastry and ate it herself.

Gu Lin Chao’s mind flashed over that touch just now, and was a bit distracted.

Thinking, she said nervously, “What’s wrong? Why can’t I look at it, I think the painting, the painting is very good, very realistic ah ……”

When Gu Lin Chao heard this, he saw that she really didn’t understand what it was, and was greatly relieved in his heart.

She should not have seen anything just now, her attention was only attracted by the painter’s painting skills, and did not pay attention to the other details.

He consoled himself with this, and reached out to take the painting out of her hand, rolled it up, and threw it back into the box, and then explained, “This painting is not good, I’ll paint one for you some other time.”

“Really?” Wen Qi Qi said in surprise.

“Really.” Gu Lin Chao noticed the girl’s curly and thick eyelashes, blinking in his palm, and he immediately felt a little itchy, like he was being scratched by something on his heart.

His gaze could not help but fall on her red lips, and he immediately felt his mouth dry. His throat rolled uncontrollably, and a thin layer of sweat suddenly seeped out from his bare forehead.

Obviously the bone dispersing incense was resolved, why did he still have that kind of impulse?

His brows tightened and his eyes darkened.

Wen Qi Qi didn’t notice his abnormality. She pulled down his hand and said, “If you are free now, can you paint me a picture now?”

Gu Lin Chao’s hand painted work, if it was taken out to sell, it would be very sought after, and at that time, maybe she could organize an auction.

Thinking about it, it was as if she could already see the gleaming gold beckoning towards her.

Gu Lin Chao was actually unavailable. He had already fallen behind for two days in his political affairs, and the files were already piling up, but when he encountered the girl’s ardent and hopeful eyes, he was surprisingly unable to refuse.

“Okay.” A moment later, he nodded.

“Then I’ll grind ink for you.” Wen Qi Qi was overjoyed and hurriedly said attentively.

“Hmmm.” Gu Lin Chao answered. He took out the rice paper with one hand, spread it on the table, and pressed the edges with a paperweight, then picked a thinner wolf hair brush from the brush holder.

Seeing this, Wen Qi Qi suddenly pulled his sleeve, “But Wang Ye’s injuries have not yet healed, it’s better to forget about it and wait until Wang Ye’s injuries have healed, then you can paint it for me.”

Gu Lin Chao paused in his movements. He looked at her with downcast eyes, and said in a warm voice, “It’s not a problem, I can paint with one hand.”

Saying this, he took a brush and dipped it in the ink pad to saturate it with ink, then held the brush and stared at it without moving.

Seeing this, Wen Qi Qi didn’t try to persuade him any further, but took the ink pad and stood aside to grind the ink, but her eyes couldn’t help but quietly measure him.

She knew that painting had to be quiet, so she didn’t dare to make a sound at all.

The world-famous painting from Gu Lin Chao was about to come out, and her heart leapt with joy and excitement.

With Gu Lin Chao’s influence in Da Ye, if his paintings and calligraphy were to come out, they would surely attract many people to rush after them.

And she is the one who will be able to own this world-class painting right away.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and the softer her eyes became when she looked at Gu Lin Chao.

After grinding the ink, Wen Qi Qi didn’t want to disturb him in the study, so she quietly retreated.

When she came back from eating snacks, Gu Lin Chao had already finished his drawing.

She was just about to walk over to look at it with her snacks in hand when she saw Gu Lin Chao suddenly roll up the painting on the table.

She froze and asked, “What’s wrong, what did Wang Ye draw?”

Gu Lin Chao’s handsome face was a little hot. He didn’t dare to look her in the eyes, “This painting is damaged, I’ll paint another one for you.”

Wen Qi Qi was a little surprised. She always felt that he looked different, as if it was more than just a bad painting.

Could it be that his painting skills are actually very average, but then he boasted in front of herself, and now it’s difficult to get off the tiger?

In the study, Gu Lin Chao was drinking medicine and had just put down the bowl when he saw her walk in from outside.

“Your Highness.” Wen Qi Qi curtsied and then patted the box in her hand and said, “Just now I ran into Uncle Xiao at the front. He asked me to pass this box to you, saying that the Grand Empress Dowager had asked him to bring it out of the palace.”

When Gu Lin Chao heard this, he thought of the fact that before leaving the palace, the young eunuchs of Jing Ci Palace had invited Xiao Yan away.

“What’s inside?” He asked.

Wen Qi Qi immediately asked, “Will Your Highness allow me to open it and look at it?”

Gu Lin Chao saw her curious face and nodded, ” Hmm.”

Wen Qi Qi then carried the box to the desk in front of him, then slowly opened the lid.

At first glance, there were several pairs of scrolls.

She froze, and said with disappointment, “So it’s paintings and calligraphy.” But on second thought, since it was sent by the Grand Empress Dowager, it must be very precious calligraphy and paintings, that are also worth a lot of money, she couldn’t help but say, “Your Highness, can you send me one of these paintings?”

Saying that, she attentively rubbed his shoulders.

Gu Lin Chao did not expect her to suddenly act like this. His whole body stiffened and reacted, and his handsome face burned a little. He pulled her busy hand, “If you like it, all of them can be given to you.”

Wen Qi Qi smiled and screamed in her heart, oh my god, she’s going to be rich.

Gu Lin Chao is really generous.

Looking at his handsome face, she couldn’t help but move over and give him a kiss, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

The moist touch on his face made Gu Lin Chao nearly unable to return to his senses.

This girl ……

The fingers resting on his leg, quietly clenched.

“You ……” he said one word, and then he was a little unsure of what to say.

Wen Qi Qi also realized at this time that she had gotten carried away and kissed him. She immediately looked shy and lowered her head while playing with her sleeve and said, “I’m just too happy.”

Gu Lin Chao said somewhat uncomfortably, “I know, it doesn’t matter ……”

The words left his mouth, and then he felt that it wasn’t right to say so. He was just about to say something else, but then he saw that she had taken a scroll out of the box.

“Actually, I don’t know much about calligraphy and painting, it’s better to let Wang Ye help with understanding it first.” At that time, if she were to sell it, she would know roughly how much she could sell it for, so that she wouldn’t get screwed over because she didn’t understand it.

She slowly unfolded the scroll.

Originally, she thought that she would be able to see images of landscapes or flowers and birds or something like that, but as soon as she opened it, she saw two naked men and women, doing indecent things. There were so many actions that were painted in a marvelous, lifelike manner.

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were infinitely wide, “This, what is this?”

Gu Lin Chao saw that she looked different and came over to take a look, and when he saw the painting on it, his handsome face reddened into a blush as well.

How could it be something like this?

He wrinkled his eyebrows and was just about to snatch the painting over, when he heard the girl say in awe, “This painting skill is also too good, it’s so good that even their figures are painted so clearly. I’m afraid that even the camera of the latter days doesn’t do as good a job as this, right?”

Gu Lin Chao looked at her in shock.

Does this girl even know what she’s looking at? And what are these two doing?

Seeing that her eyes were about to glance downwards, he quickly reached out his hand and covered her eyes, saying in a low voice, “Don’t look.”

Wen Qi Qi froze, and only then did she react to what she had just done and said.

Yaaaah, she can’t let Gu Lin Chao know that she’s an old driver, otherwise how will he look at her?

(TN: old driver means she’s very experienced if you know what I mean *wink wink*)
