Nian Jincheng's Resentment

Su Liang was not used to sleeping with others, so she gave her bed to Yuan Ying, who slept on the couch.

Yuan Ying accepted it without hesitation. Although she was enthusiastic about Su Liang, she was not as hypocritical and clingy as Yan Shiba.

It was almost dawn.

Su Liang felt a little itchy on her face, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Yuan Ying's enlarged smiling face.

Yuan Ying was tall and plump, with a charming and attractive appearance. When she smiled, she was a charming beauty.

"Little girl, sister is leaving." Yuan Ying saw Su Liang wake up, stretched out her hand to pinch her face, and stood up.

Su Liang got up quickly, "So early? Don't you want to eat something before you leave?"

"Next time, when Xiaoye is well, I'll take him to see you, my benefactor." Yuan Ying said, putting on a cloak, and suddenly asked Su Liang seriously, "What is your relationship with Xiao Gu..."

Su Liang smiled, "We are good friends."

Yuan Ying's beautiful eyes were stunned, "Just, friends?"

Su Liang shook his head, "We are still brothers, family, and master and apprentice."

Yuan Ying looked puzzled, "What did he teach you?"

Su Liang shook his head again, "We are master and apprentice. He taught me martial arts, and I taught him medical skills."

"You two are really interesting." Yuan Ying smiled meaningfully. She was sure that Gu Ling was not ordinary to Su Liang, but it was obvious that the two had not yet broken the window paper. As a bystander, she didn't interfere blindly to avoid annoying Gu Ling.

"By the way, medicine! Wait a minute!" Su Liang put on her clothes and went to the next door to knock on Gu Ling's door.

After a while, the door opened a crack, and a hand stretched out from inside, handing the medicine bottle to Su Liang.

Su Liang took it, "Master, Sister Yuan is leaving, won't you come out to see her off?"

"No." Gu Ling said, and the door was closed again.

Yuan Ying took a look at the medicine made by Su Liang and nodded immediately, "That's it, that's right! Little girl, you are young, but you are really capable. It's me who underestimated you before. Let's talk about medicine and poison next time we meet."

Su Liang gave Yuan Ying a bundle, which contained clothes for her and some snacks.

"This is good, give it to me!" Yuan Ying pointed to the inconspicuous wooden hairpin on Su Liang's head.

Su Liang refused, "This is not good, it's a gift from someone else."

Yuan Ying guessed that it was most likely given by Gu Ling, so she didn't want it anymore. She picked up the bundle, put her arm around Su Liang, and turned away, saying that she would definitely see him again.

"Take care, Sister Yuan." Su Liang stood under the eaves, watching Yuan Ying disappear from sight, and turned back to find that Gu Ling had also come out.

"We just met, why are you so reluctant to leave?" Gu Ling asked.

Su Liang inexplicably felt that his tone was a bit strange, "It's okay, Sister Yuan is much cuter than Yan Shiba."

Gu Ling did not comment on this, and turned to the kitchen.

"Master, I want to eat small wontons for breakfast." Su Liang said that it was really good to be able to order dishes.

Then he heard Gu Ling answer, "I don't want to cook."

Su Liang: ... Okay, okay, it's good to have something to eat, and she always didn't let Gu Ling order dishes before.

As a result, after Su Liang exercised and washed up, he ate a hot breakfast, stirred the sour soup noodles with chopsticks, and saw a few small and exquisite wontons floating up from below.

Su Liang's eyes were instantly filled with smiles, "Master, don't you want to make it? After listening to me, do you also want to eat it?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "Practice."

Su Liang said that this was very good, "Master, if you have any dishes you want to practice, just make them. I promise to taste them carefully and give you fair comments."

On the freezing cold New Year's Eve, it started snowing when she had breakfast. After a bowl of hot wonton noodles, Su Liang felt comfortable all over and hummed a little song while washing dishes.

After entering the palace to give Situ Han acupuncture again today, Su Liang received a gold-plated invitation, inviting her and Gu Ling to attend the royal banquet on New Year's Eve.

Su Liang expressed her pleasure and took the invitation out of the palace and returned to Ning Wangfu. Situ Han also gave a lot of rewards, and sent people to deliver them directly to Ning Wangfu.

Su Liang rode in the snow, not fast. Halfway through the journey, she heard the sound of urgent horse hooves behind her, and someone was calling "Dr. Su". She turned around and saw two palace guards riding horses.

She learned that one of Situ Han's concubines had a difficult delivery, so she asked her to go back to the palace to save her. Su Liang turned back.

Gu Ling was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner at home, and many ingredients had to be fried first. He agreed with Su Liang to eat less at the palace banquet and come back to stay up together.

Su Liang was very busy today. First, she gave Situ Han acupuncture, and then delivered his favorite concubine. Near noon, the child was born, and the mother and child were safe. She thought she could leave, but Queen Mother Min sent someone over again, saying that she had a severe headache and asked Su Liang to go over and take a look...

Su Liang was still very easy to talk to, and readily agreed, and followed the people to Min's place. Min just didn't sleep well recently, and Su Liang didn't prescribe medicine. After a few injections, she felt that her head was not so dizzy.

So, when Su Liang left the palace again, he got a lot of rewards.

Back at Prince Ning's Mansion, Gu Ling brought a plate of freshly fried dumplings and a bowl of fresh fish soup, which was the lunch that Su Liang missed.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master." Su Liang smiled, "Then I'll start."

Gu Ling turned back to the kitchen and continued to prepare the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner, thinking that the route and policy were right. It's only been two days, and Su Liang has been conquered by his cooking skills...

But in fact, Su Liang thinks that it's just a change in the division of labor, which is good. If they really break up one day, their life skills will be completely fine.

After Su Liang had a late lunch, went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and helped Gu Ling light the fire, he mentioned Yuan Ying again, "Sister Yuan is so beautiful and has a good figure, but you don't like her?"

Gu Ling raised his knife and cut a fish head into two halves. But as he always pursues perfection and precision in his cooking skills, this time the knife was a little crooked, and the size of the cuts was obviously different.

Gu Ling looked down at his pale fish eyes, thinking about how to answer Su Liang's question, but he couldn't say that he was not interested in women anymore, so he heard Su Liang said with a smile, "But that's right, you are not interested in women. She doesn’t understand the charm at all, so Sister Yuan still needs to find a man who knows how to appreciate her beauty.”

Gu Ling raised the knife and turned around, just when Su Liang looked up and was startled, "Master, what are you doing?"

Gu Ling's face was calm, "The fish head is broken, replace it with a new one." As he said this, he fished out another fish from the basin, raised the knife in his hand, and got a new fish head.

Su Liang looked at the one that Gu Ling threw away and expressed confusion, "What's wrong? Isn't it a freshly killed fish?"

"The two halves are cut into different sizes," Gu Ling said.

Su Liang complained speechlessly, "You have an obsessive-compulsive disorder."

The two of them also made a basket of jujube steamed buns based on Su Liang's memories of his previous life and what he learned from Aunt Bai when they were in Sujia Village. Gu Ling basically did it, and Su Liang was only responsible for putting the washed red dates on top.

Gu Ling opened the lid of the pot, and the kitchen was filled with hazy heat. The heat dissipated a little. Su Liang looked at the steamed jujube steamed buns. Each one was in a perfectly symmetrical shape, and there was no distortion during the expansion process. He gave Gu Ling a thumbs up again, "Perfect!"

When Rendong saw the finished product, he praised Su Liang's work for being so beautiful.

Su Liang acquiesced, because people could not know that Gu Ling was cooking with her apron on every day, which would be a devastating blow to the cold image he had always cultivated in front of outsiders...

As the sky darkened slightly, Liandong drove Gu Ling and Su Liang into the palace for the banquet.

This was a banquet attended only by members of the Liang Kingdom's royal family, and Su Liang had already seen most of them.

Situ Han, who had not been seen in public for two months due to facial paralysis, had only seen the Empress Dowager and the King of Yue. Today he appeared in front of people in high spirits, with a happy face. He has good looks and always behaves very gently every time he sees Su Liang, but he feels somewhat similar to Duanmu Yi to Su Liang. Perhaps emperors who are not stupid are often smiling tigers with deep intentions.

The position arranged by Situ Han is very interesting. Opposite the prince are Su Liang and Gu Ling, and Yue King Situ Xie sits below them.

Although Su Liang and Gu Ling were distinguished guests, this arrangement made the atmosphere a bit delicate. Throughout the banquet, Situ Han joked with Su Liang from time to time and asked Gu Ling if the dishes were to his taste, but he completely ignored Situ Xie and didn't even give him a look.

Min took the initiative to smooth things over, "During the time when the emperor was ill, the King of Yue sent people all the way to invite Dr. Su to treat the emperor, and also helped with government affairs. He worked hard. There are no outsiders here today. Shouldn't the emperor give a toast to the king of Yue?"

Hearing this, Situ Han laughed loudly, picked up the wine glass, and looked at Situ Xie.

Situ Xie smiled warmly, raised his glass and stood up.

"Uncle Emperor." Situ Han said, drank the glass in one gulp, put down the glass, and his smile deepened, "Uncle Emperor is old, and I feel guilty for working so hard. From today on, Uncle Emperor will take care of everything that needs to be done. Let everything go and enjoy your life! This is my filial piety as a nephew, please don't refuse it, uncle!"

The first person whose expression changed was the Queen Mother Min, followed by Situ Xie's children and grandchildren.

There is no fool here. Who doesn’t know what Situ Han means? Letting Situ Xie enjoy his old age was clearly asking him to hand over the power in his hands.

Situ Xie's expression did not change, he only narrowed his eyes and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration." He did not really express his position.

The specific power struggle will naturally not be made explicit, but it is obvious that Situ Han has declared war on Situ Xie, and the result is still unknown.

Su Liang's only interest in the Liang royal family's increasingly explicit internal strife was watching the show. She and Gu Ling were outsiders. Their purpose of coming here had been achieved and they were just waiting for the right time to leave.

The banquet ended not too late. After leaving the palace, Su Liang and Gu Ling got on the carriage and walked for a while before Su Liang said, "Will Situ Xie rebel? After all, it is not the same for his illegitimate son to be the emperor and his legitimate descendants to be the emperor." Likewise, even if Situ Han knows that he is his biological father, he doesn't have to admit it. Looking at the current momentum, I wouldn't be too surprised if Situ Han wants to wipe out Situ Xie's entire family. "

The fight between a royal father and his son is nothing new. What's more, this is an invisible father and son who had an affair with an uncle and his sister-in-law.

"Let them." Gu Ling was not interested in this.

Su Liang thoughtfully said, "Maybe it is destined to be a life-or-death situation. After all, Situ Han has his own children and grandchildren, and Situ Xie also has children and grandchildren he raised by himself. Even for the safety and future of his children and grandchildren, reconciliation is impossible. After all, There is only one throne.”

Seeing that Gu Ling was silent, Su Liang turned to something related to them and lowered her voice, "Yuan Ying came too quickly, took Xuelian and left. What should we do about our marriage?"

The original plan was that Yuan Ying would descend from the sky to snatch the bride on the wedding day. When the time came, they would take advantage of Yuan Ying's appearance to annul the marriage. But now this plan is no longer feasible.

"Let nature take its course," Gu Ling said.

Su Liang shrugged, "Okay. That's all we can do. After all, no one on either side can afford to offend."

Now that things have happened, they have accepted the marriage offer and cannot deny it without any reason. As for the things Duanmu Yi asked them to do, they couldn't leave easily before they succeeded.

Although in fact it is considered successful, the secret record will be obtained sooner or later. But whether to hand it over to Duanmu Yi and how to hand it over are matters that can only be discussed when we see Old Man Mu again.

Now Su Liang is waiting for Duanmu Yi to send someone, whether it's to warn her or reprimand her, it doesn't matter. As soon as people arrived, she had a reason to withdraw.

…

New Year's Eve.

This is the second year that Su Liang has passed since time travel, and Gu Ling is still by his side.

Last year they celebrated the New Year in Sujia Village. On New Year's Eve, Su Liang prepared a New Year's Eve dinner, including a tea-flavored chicken made with Dahongpao, which was quite luxurious.

There was no Dahongpao in Yaocheng this year, but Gu Ling used the precious tea leaves given to Su Liang by Situ Han to make tea-flavored chicken, which had a unique flavor.

Su Liang tasted every dish and kept nodding in praise.

The last fish head with chopped pepper, two pieces of fish head, placed completely symmetrically on the plate, even the fish eyes look like mirror images.

"Master, do you feel uncomfortable looking at asymmetrical things?" Su Liang asked Gu Ling.

Gu Ling shook his head, "No."

"What did you do wrong with that fish head that was chopped off?" Su Liangxiao asked.

Gu Ling looked calm and said, "I have a disease, obsessive-compulsive disorder, can you cure it?"

Su Liang almost choked on the fruit wine she just took in her mouth, coughed lightly and said, "It's just cooking, it's not that serious, no need for treatment."

The windows were open and it was snowing heavily outside.

Su Liang was eating delicious food while recalling her experiences after time travel. Gu Ling listened quietly. He was by Su Liang's side most of the time. It felt good to find that she also remembered those things.

When she was almost done eating, Su Liang put down her chopsticks and walked to the window. Suddenly she turned around and suggested to Gu Ling, "Master, it's still a long time before dawn. Let's go out for a walk later?"

Gu Ling nodded, "Okay."

As soon as she left, Su Liang went back to her room, changed her clothes, put on her cloak, and picked up a small hand stove she bought at the market the day before yesterday.

When he went out, he saw Gu Ling ready and waiting in the corridor.

"Master, you are cold." Su Liang handed over the stove.

Gu Ling took a look and shook his head, "Not as cold as you."

"You can't even laugh." Su Liang complained.

Gu Ling said in a faint tone, "Brown sugar ginger and jujube tea."

Su Liang: ...speechless...

The two left Prince Ning's Mansion and walked aimlessly in the heavy snow. Listening to the sound of snow under their feet, they felt as if they were the only ones left in the world and no one else.

Gu Ling said that he wanted to know how the children in Su Liang's previous life grew up.

Su Liang began to talk about her experiences from childhood to adulthood, what kind of school she went to, which teachers left a deep impression on her, classmates she had not forgotten, and stupid things she had done.

"When I was in high school, a boy confessed to me." Su Liang said and laughed.

Gu Ling's eyes flashed slightly, and Su Liang continued, "Master, guess how I refused at that time?"

Gu Ling frowned slightly, "You said you need to study hard?"

"Master, you guessed it right!" Su Liang expressed surprise.

Gu Ling: ...Yes, Su Liang is now at the same age in this world as she was in high school in her previous life. Her focus is also on studying and improving her strength. And this is one of the reasons why Gu Ling doesn't plan to confess now. He respects and appreciates Su Liang's mentality and efforts.

"Where's the university?" Gu Ling asked.

Su Liang shook his head, "We don't even have time in college. Medical students are very busy and have a lot to learn."

Gu Ling: ...Very good, if Su Liang likes him, then he will be the first and only man Su Liang likes in her life.

…

New Year's Day.

When it was dark, Su Liang and Gu Ling returned to Prince Ning's Mansion.

Thick snow fell on the ice lake, and the two of them built a cute little snowman on it.

"This is winter." Su Liang looked happy, "Master, Happy New Year."

Gu Ling swept the snow off Su Liang's hat with her hands, "Xiao Liang, happy New Year."

Exactly the same conversation as last year. It was rare for Gu Ling to call Su Liang like this, just for the sake of confrontation.

Back in the main courtyard, Su Liang mentioned his friends, "Your brother, Comrade Xiaonian, must be having his sweet wife in his arms right now and living a happy life."

…

At the same time, Nian Jincheng, who had to leave his newlywed wife behind and couldn't return home on New Year's Day, was rushing to Yaocheng in the ice and snow. He sneezed suddenly, his face full of resentment, and he silently complained in his heart: Blame that bastard Gu Ling, if he had married Su Liang earlier, how could he have been in this mess...
