When you wake up the next day.
Only then did Gu Wuyou know that Shen Shao had come last night. At that time, she was sitting in front of the dressing mirror. Hearing this, she asked Bai Lu, "Last night, when you sent the second sister out, you didn't see the Shen family. uncle?"
Bai Lu was combing her hair, and when she heard this, her hands stopped for a while before she replied softly: "I see, the slave asked him if he wanted to go to the flower hall for a meeting, but Lord Shen said that the uncle is not here, so it's not good to disturb you. ."
"I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I didn't tell you."
"Then you should tell me."
"He's an elder, and it doesn't matter what he's here for. How can a junior like me stay in the house and not care about anything?"
After Gu Wuyou finished speaking, she saw that Bai Lu's face in the mirror was a little pale, and she softened her tone, and said softly, "It's not your fault, I know you have always been measured..." After she finished speaking, she paused and turned to look at the person. , frowned, and said in a concerned tone, "Why do I think something is wrong with you today, are you uncomfortable?"
"Slave is fine."
Bai Lu shook her head and looked into Gu Wuyou's eyes. Just as she was about to open her mouth, Li Qinyuan, who had finished her sword practice early in the morning, came in.
Seeing Li Qinyuan, Gu Wuyou didn't care to ask Bai Lu any more. He got up and greeted the person. Seeing him sweating profusely, he said with disgust, "I don't know where you got so much energy." She is still late, but she can get up so early.
That being said, when Hong Shuang brought the water, she still twisted a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face.
Li Qinyuan put his hands on his knees, bent over and tilted his head and let her wipe it. While the maids didn't see it, he said something jerk to people's ears, making the little daughter-in-law blush and snicker. .
Gu Wuyou was ashamed to death, and because several maids were still there, he couldn't say anything about him, so he could only blushed and glared at him... During dinner, I mentioned to him something about Shen Shao's visit last night, "Uncle It’s hard to come to the house, I don’t know yet, and I don’t know what he will think.”
"fine."
Li Qinyuan didn't take it seriously, he put a xiaolongbao for her, and said casually, "I'll ask him when I'm going to the court." Seeing her worried face, he smiled again, "Uncle has a lenient temperament, no I will compare with our group of juniors."
Hearing him say this, Gu Wuyou didn't take it to heart, and told him about Gu Ting, "Second sister came here last night, I think she's looking much better these days..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fried dough stick in Li Qinyuan's hand fell to the ground.
"What's wrong?" Gu Wuyou looked at him with doubts in his eyes. He didn't understand how Li Qinyuan, who had been talking and laughing just now, suddenly changed his face when he heard the second sister's name.
Li Qinyuan asked her, "Second sister also came last night?"
"Yeah." Gu Wuyou asked people to clean up the fried dough sticks that fell on the ground, and then he said to Li Qinyuan, "I didn't have time to tell you when you came back last night."
Li Qinyuan nodded, didn't say anything about his strangeness, just said to her in a soft voice: "When I'm going to rest in a few days, you will invite the second sister to come to the house as a guest, and also call your fifth sister and ninth brother. , lively and lively."
There is no reason why Gu Wuyou shouldn't, but he was really interrupted, and he no longer wondered about his previous strangeness.
Li Qinyuan's heart was full of emotions.
When he was about to turn his head and ask Shen Shao what he wanted to do!
After going to court that day, Li Qinyuan didn't leave immediately like before, but deliberately slowed down and waited for Shen Shao to come out before walking out side by side with him, and when there were fewer people around, he asked him, "I heard Manman say, Uncle came home yesterday?"
"Um."
Shen Shao nodded without concealing it from him, "I originally wanted to visit you, but I went back when I knew you weren't here."
"Last night, Sister Gu Yu also went to my house," Li Qinyuan said, observing the expression on Shen Shao's face, "I wonder if my uncle saw it?"
Hearing these words, Shen Shao held Yuhuan's hand slightly, and after a while, he turned to look at Li Qinyuan, with a light smile on his face, "Qilang, what do you want to say?"
"I should ask my uncle, what do you want to do?"
Li Qinyuan pressed his voice and said, his face was not good-looking: "You have been married now, and you will be married to Princess Changping soon, and you suddenly go to pester others, what do you want to do?!"
"uncle-"
Li Qinyuan looked at him and sighed, "You've been awake for so many years, why are you confused now? If you are known by someone who cares, not only you, but also Sister Gu's reputation will be affected."
"And Changping, what do you want her to think?"
The sky is bright and the sky is bright, but Shen Shao's face looks a little pale under the sun, his slender fingers are tightly grasping the jade wat, so strong that even the fingertips are white, "...I don't know what I am. what to do."
"I just,"
He lowered his eyes and said hoarsely, "I want an answer."
He passed by Qilang's house yesterday, and saw Gu Yu's carriage parked at the gatehouse, and then he went in in a daze, without letting the servant pass the information or even being followed. Later, he even used the name of drunkenness to go beyond the line. thing.
For more than 20 years, he has not been awake for a day.
Only when I met her, I didn't see anything clear or sober, like a gambler, like a lunatic.
But even so, she refused to give him a satisfactory answer.
The slender eyelashes trembled slightly, Shen Shao pursed his lips, and stood on the long palace road. He was obviously already a third-rank official, a confidant of the emperor, and the son-in-law that everyone admired in the future, but he felt that his heart was empty. of…
Seeing him like this, Li Qinyuan felt uncomfortable, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Uncle, there are some things that we can't control... Ask yourself, what do you want, don't get it to the end? , everyone can't be closed."
He doesn't like to meddle in these things.
But firstly, this matter involved Shen Shao, his only uncle, and secondly... Gu Yu and Changping were all sisters of Manman. He didn't want things to get too turbulent in the future, and it would be difficult for her to be caught in the middle.
Shen Shao pursed his lips and said nothing.
He naturally knows what he wants, he only needs one Gu Tu from start to finish.
for her…
He can have nothing.
What about Gu Chu
I'm afraid she would like him to stay away from her... Otherwise, why wouldn't she even lie to him
Maybe he should really let go, stop bothering her, and let her be her second Miss Gu. Maybe he can call her a certain Mrs. in the future... He should bless her and leave some good thoughts for her. Think, instead of messing up her life like a lunatic.
And he should take good care of Changping.
Even if he can't like her and treat her like Gu Yu, he will respect her.
In a few days, it will be the birthday of Prince Xiao Jingxing.
The palace has not been lively for a long time, and this time Xiao Dingyuan planned to take care of it. He sent the Ministry of Internal Affairs to handle the birthday matter, and then posted a message to the clan and officials... Gu Wuyou and Li Qinyuan were also on the invited list. .
Gu Wuyou had always been on good terms with his cousin, the prince, and he had not entered the palace for a long time, so he entered the palace with Li Qinyuan before the hour came.
Li Qinyuan first went to the East Palace to congratulate Xiao Jingxing, while Gu Wuyou went to Weiyang Palace to visit Empress Wang and Changping. Changping was happy to know that she was here, but he was afraid that his mother would not be happy, so he took her to his palace. The palace servants were sent out again.
Seeing her like this, Gu Wuyou couldn't help laughing, "I'm going to leave the palace soon, why are you still in such a hurry."
Chang Ping muttered: "They are here, I am not happy to talk." He leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Cousin, what are you saying outside?"
Gu Wuyou asked knowingly, "What did you say?"
"Cousin!" Chang Ping pouted and blushed again. He held the ends of the handkerchief with two fingers and kept turning. He lowered his head and muttered, "Just me and Shen Shao's marriage."
"Why are you still taking care of these things?"
Gu Wuyou said this again with a smile, fearing that he would be too funny, he raised his eyebrows and talked to her seriously, "It's all good words, some say that Lord Shen is lucky enough to marry you, some say you He has a unique vision, after all, Lord Shen is now the most popular prince in the capital."
Hear her talk in detail—
Changping also bent his lips like a satisfied kitten.
Seeing her like this, Gu Wuyou smiled again, holding her hand and asking softly, "Then what do you think? Do you like this person and this marriage?"
Chang Ping was startled when he heard this. Recently, many people have asked her if she is satisfied with the marriage. Her father, her mother, even her brother and sister-in-law have asked her... But never Someone asked her if she liked Shen Shao.
Does she like Shen Shao
"What do you like?" Changping asked Gu Wuyou, his bright little face was full of doubts.
"Like it… "
Gu Wuyou thought for a while before answering: "I like it when I can't see him, I miss him very much, and when I see it, I don't know what to say to him, my heart beats unconsciously, and I can't help blushing. When I see something I like, I want to share it with him first, and when I see him happy, I can’t help but feel happy, and when I see him uncomfortable, I feel uncomfortable.”
"Is it so troublesome to like someone?"
I have been a carefree person since I was a child, how could I have thought about such a complex issue? But she still intends to think about it.
Changping supported her chin, twisted her thin eyebrows, and thought slowly... Since she was a child, she liked scholars with good writing skills and thought they were amazing.
exactly.
Shen Shao fits her two conditions very well.
As for the emotions mentioned by her cousin, she remembered that when her father gave the marriage to her that day, she secretly stood behind the curtain and looked at Shen Shao who was kneeling in the hall, and when the sunlight reflected on him, he made him look handsome and unpretentious. At that time her heartbeat was beating fast and her face was very red.
She also misses him a lot these days.
She wanted to see what Shen Shao was like after the marriage, and wanted to ask him if he liked it.
So it seems...
Changping raised his head and looked at Gu Wuyou, his eyebrows curved and his voice clear, "I think I like him."
Although she hadn't liked it yet, and when she thought of something, she was the first to want to share it with him, and she wasn't happy because of his happiness or uncomfortable, but what was the point? After such a long time in the future, if they get along, she will definitely like him very much.
Just like my cousin treated that Li Qilang.
"By the way—" After talking about his own business, Changping looked at Gu Wuyou again, smiled like a cat that stole a fishy cat, and asked her, "Cousin, do you have a baby?"
Gu Wuyou was eating grapes, and when he heard this, he seemed to be choking, holding the handkerchief to cover his lips, waiting for the cough to ease, then looked at her with his water-drenched eyes, "You ,What did you say?"
"Baby."
Chang Ping was not embarrassed at all, and asked carelessly: "You and Li Qilang have been married for so long, is there any news yet? My sister-in-law gave birth to a son before, who is very cute, but I still like girls..." She followed a Like a small child, he stretched out his hand and pulled her arm, acting coquettishly, "Cousin, give me a baby girl to play with, I'll give her all my beautiful jewelry, what she wants, I Buy them all for her."
"you-"
Gu Wuyou blushed. Seeing her innocent appearance again, he felt that his anger was just looking for guilt for himself, so he could only twist her face angrily, and said angrily: "Pack up, come see me with me. Sister-in-law of the Crown Princess, I have to tell my aunt well when I look back, don't care about your open mouth, whatever you say will go out."
"What did I say wrong?"
Changping rubbed his face innocently, feeling that he was wronged to death, but he didn't dare to talk back to her.
The East Palace was already very lively.
Although it wasn't time for the feast yet, people were almost there. The male guest was outside, and the female guest was in the inner courtyard... Gu Wuyou and Changping accompanied the Crown Princess Zhuang in the inner courtyard, teasing the children, beside them. She is the wife of every family.
Although Gu Wuyou and Zhuang Shi hadn't gotten along a few times, they didn't feel unfamiliar with each other's temperaments.
At this moment, she was being pushed to hug the little grandson, and there were several women who ordered her to talk, "It is said that women who have not had children should hold more children, and they will be able to conceive immediately. Grandson, I'm afraid there will be good news soon."
Hearing this, Gu Wuyou couldn't help blushing.
These women were not Changping, and she couldn't shut them up because she was shy, so she lowered her head and asked Mrs Zhuang nervously, "Sister-in-law, is this how you hug?"
She hasn't held a baby yet.
She also hugged her little fifteen, but after all, people and small animals are not the same.
Seeing that her entire back was stiff, Mrs. Zhuang couldn't help laughing. While instructing her on how to hug her more comfortably, she said with relief, "Don't be afraid, yes, that's it, just relax..." Later, he said again: "This kid in my family is not so easy to be hugged, but today he is obedient, so it can be seen that he likes your little aunt."
Changping was also on the side, holding a rattle, and said angrily: "Every time I bring you so many good things, you don't look at me directly, and I won't play with you in the future."
"You-"
Zhuang shi reached out and tapped her forehead, smiling helplessly.
Gu Wuyou looked at the little guy in his arms. He was dressed very festively, with a big red gown embroidered with Wanfu, and a melon rind hat. His eyes were dark and bright. He was staring at her at this time, and he didn't know what interesting things came to his mind. He even grinned at her.
My heart that was still a little nervous at first melted away because of this smile.
Gu Wuyou couldn't help thinking that if she and Li Qinyuan also had children, they would be as cute as this child.
In her previous life, she regretted not being able to have a child with Li Qinyuan. In this life... she should get what she wanted. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look down at her belly. It's been a few months, why hasn't she moved. Woolen cloth
Could it be…
Zhuang Shi was careful, and seeing her expression, he could guess what she was thinking.
Just as someone from outside the palace came to pass the word that it was time to have dinner, Mrs Zhuang smiled and got up, "Let's go, Changping, you lead the ladies first." Then she asked the nurse to carry the little emperor and grandson inside. After resting and going out with Gu Wuyou, he said in a low voice, "Don't think too much, how long have you been married to General Li, this is normal."
"I also got pregnant after marrying the prince for half a year. Some women have to wait until a year later."
"But if you're in a hurry, I have a nourishing recipe. I'll have someone send it to you quietly."
When such a private matter was told outside, Gu Wuyou blushed, "I, I'm not in such a hurry..." Looking at Zhuang Shi's smiling eyes, he lowered his head in embarrassment, and said angrily, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Thank you, we are all family."
Zhuang clapped her hand with a smile and led her outside.
Here the female guests are lively eating and talking, and the male guests outside are naturally very lively, but there are some people who do not fit into such a lively place, that person is the King of Jin Xiao Ke, and he congratulates Xiao Jingxing Then he found a place to sit quietly.
Holding a pot of wine, he sat in the pavilion, poured himself a drink, and watched the lively scene not far away, a sneering smile appeared on his lips.
Who still remembers that his birthday is also in July
Just because he was only a few days apart from Xiao Jingxing, he had been concealed from childhood to adulthood, and he had never even had a decent birthday. Although his father would ask Dean to bring him gifts every time, how could this be? Same
He is also a prince!
He is also surnamed Xiao, not much worse than Xiao Jingxing...
How could Xiao Jingxing's birthday be so impressive and congratulated by everyone, but what about him? Can only be alone, not even a congratulatory person.
The more you think.
The resentment in Xiao Ke's heart became more and more hidden, and he couldn't tell anyone. He could only lower his head and drink stuffy wine.
"Why is your lord here alone?"
A person suddenly walked into the pavilion, Xiao Ke looked up and said in surprise, "Chengyou, why are you here?"
Zhao Chengyou smiled and sat beside Xiao Ke, "I see that the lord is here alone, so I will come and have a look."
"You shouldn't have come..." A sneering smile appeared on Xiao Ke's lips. "On such days, you should stay there instead of being in the company of people like me." After he finished speaking, he poured himself another cup Wine, he looked up and drank bitterly.
Zhao Chengyou said warmly, "I always remember how the lord treated me when I was just a white robe."
As he said, he poured a glass of wine for Xiao Ke, sighing as if he was worthless, "The prince is also the prince and grandson, so he shouldn't be left out like this."
When Xiao Ke heard this, he laughed at himself: "What's the use of that? When the emperor is gone, this world will be his Xiao Jingxing's world, I... I'm afraid I won't even be able to stay in the capital in the future, so why not be left out? ."
"Don't you hate your lord?"
Zhao Chengyou watched Xiao Ke raise his face and looked directly into his eyes, "Your mother concubine, Concubine Chen, is His Majesty's most beloved woman, and you are His Majesty's favorite son..."
"But because the prince has the power of the Wang family behind him, no matter how well you do, you can only be subservient to him, and you can't even handle a decent birthday ceremony."
"His Royal Highness King Jin, can you really bear this breath?"
The expression on Xiao Ke's face changed from the initial stunned to the later shock. He stood up suddenly, the wine cup in his hand fell to the ground, the wine cup was broken, and the wine splashed around. He looked around nervously and was sure that no one was there. Then he suppressed his voice and scolded: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Zhao Chengyou, are you crazy?!"
"His Royal Highness—" Zhao Chengyou looked calm, stood up under Xiao Ke's gaze, his voice was still calm, "Wei Chen is just not worth it for you."
"Think about the ending of your uncles. When Your Majesty dies, what do you think... What kind of ending will you have?" After saying this, he bowed his hands to the people, "Three days later will be His Highness's birthday, if His Highness Yes, Wei Chen would like to accompany you to drink a glass of wine."
Then he said no more and walked straight out of the pavilion.
Xiao Ke looked at him leaving, and still felt extremely absurd... Zhao Chengyou said those words, he didn't think about it, but it was just a thought that flashed when he was unwilling. The emperor's love has grown to this day, knowing that the father's greatest expectation is to look forward to his health and stability.
And how could the power behind him be comparable to Xiao Jingxing
Instead-
That has to be something!
"It's absurd, it's really absurd..." Xiao Ke murmured in a low voice, looking at Zhao Chengyou's figure walking farther and farther.
But even as he said this, there was still a beast that had been dormant for many years in his heart as if whispering to him, "Where did he say something wrong? You are also the prince and grandson, your mother-in-law is Concubine Chen, and you are His Majesty's most important person. Dear son, how can you compare to Xiao Jingxing?"
"He just had a good life and was born into Queen Wang's belly!"
"When it comes to true talents and practical learning, Xiao Jingxing may not be able to compare to you!"
"You have been oppressed for more than 20 years, do you still want to be oppressed by him for the rest of your life? When Xiao Jingxing ascends the throne, what do you think you will have a good life?!"
…
Those voices were getting louder and louder, Xiao Ke only felt that his whole brain was about to explode, he stumbled out, for fear that others would see him like this and not even have time to say goodbye.
Zhao Chengyou didn't go far, he looked at Xiao Ke's figure leaving, and there was a sneering smile on his lips.
This person is still as cowardly as in his previous life, no wonder he lost a mess in his previous life...
If it wasn't for no other way, he wouldn't find Xiao Ke.
But fortunately, although this person is confused, he is also very confused, and with his help in this world, I believe that there will be different results... Withdrawing his eyes, he continued to walk into the crowd, not looking at today's protagonist Xiao Jingxing instead looked at Li Qinyuan beside him.
Seemingly aware of his sight, Li Qinyuan also looked over.
When he saw Zhao Chengyou, his eyebrows moved slightly, his thin lips pursed lightly, and the two stared at each other across the crowd. In the end, Zhao Chengyou retracted his eyes first, like a ghost in the silent night, and continued to walk forward aimlessly. .
“Qilang, what are you looking at?” Xiao Jingxing asked with a smile when he saw that he had been looking straight ahead.
heard.
Li Qinyuan looked back, "It's nothing."
"I'm afraid that Qilang is thinking about his wife again." The person who spoke was a son of the clan, who had known each other since childhood, and a few of them spoke openly.
Li Qinyuan didn't look embarrassed at all, holding the wine cup, raised his eyebrows and sneered, "I think my wife, what's hindering you? People like you who are not married will not appreciate the fun of our married men."
"Oops, Li Qilang—"
Several people laughed and made trouble, but Li Qinyuan didn't think about Zhao Chengyou anymore. :,,,
