Because no one had lived there for many years, the palace looked very old, like a cold palace, but Zhao Jingyan was in high spirits.
"This is the desk I had when I was a child. When I was studying, I loved carving things on the desk. I carved all the patterns on it."
A child seemed to appear in front of Qingguan's eyes. At a young age, he would sit down and write. When he got tired from writing, he would draw a line on the desk, naughtily.
"This is my bed. Look, is it big?"
Qingguan's eyes showed surprise. This bed can accommodate six people.
"I used to be very dishonest when sleeping. I would often fall off the bed when I turned over. My mother simply ordered someone to beat me. I never thought that I would fall off more often."
Qingguan lowered his head and thought, "Why is this?"
Zhao Jingyan smiled and said: "This bed is so big, I do somersaults and juggle on it, and I often fall off by accident."
Qingguan couldn't help but chuckle. I never thought that the handsome prince had some ridiculous moments when he was a child.
"Have you ever been injured?"
"Don't say anything when you are hurt, otherwise you will be scolded by your father."
"Are you afraid of the emperor?" Qingguan raised an eyebrow.
"Afraid!"
Zhao Jingyan admitted frankly, "The king of a country, the Supreme Being, can scare people to the point of peeing in their pants with just a straight face."
"Why aren't you afraid now?" Qingguan frowned.
Zhao Jingyan looked sideways at her.
Her beautiful face was covered with a layer of soft light, and her two beautiful eyebrows were knitted together. There was no longer the coldness before, and even the air around her was soft.
"Firstly, because I scolded him a lot, I became more courageous. Secondly, I am protected by my mother, concubine and brother."
Zhao Jingyan let go of her hand and lay down on the bed, her head resting on her arms and her legs slightly bent.
Qingguan walked over and sat down on the stool next to the bed.
Zhao Jingyan then pointed to the Duobao Pavilion in the corner and said: "Behind the Duobao Pavilion, there are many gadgets from the past, such as dried butterflies, wooden arrows given to me by my brother, and puppets deceived from my mother-in-law. …”
The man's voice was as low and gentle as a guqin in the night, and he was talking about trivial things.
Qingguan listened with great interest.
She knew that this man wanted to tell her all about growing up, playing, and rolling around.
He described the joyful, sad, happy and tearful past in front of her eyes, making her happy for his joy and worried for his worries.
While Zhao Jingyan was talking, he observed the subtle changes in Qingguan's expression. Every reaction she had was reflected in his eyes.
He had wanted to do something like this for a long time.
"Wan Wan, do you know what my first time was like?" Zhao Jingyan wanted to tell her without hesitation.
There is nothing to hide from her. He just wanted to shed everything about himself and tell her everything about the child growing up into a man.
A blush appeared on Gu Qingwan's face.
He was already a weakling, and he was also the prince's grandson, so it was absolutely impossible for him to enjoy love between a man and a woman. Should she say something like this? She really didn't want to hear it.
There was a sneer on Zhao Jingyan's lips, but her eyes fell on Qingwan's face, anticipating her reaction.
Gu Qingwan is a doctor, so he knew what was fishy here as soon as he heard it. That nice smell is probably an aphrodisiac.
"You fell into someone's trap."
Zhao Jingyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she suddenly sat up from the bed and looked at her with a focused expression.
"How do you know?"
Gu Qingguan sneered, "Anything that smells good is not a good thing. You are a prince, and you are used to seeing fat and thin people. How can you get so distracted by a white breast?"
Zhao Jingyan smiled.
The moonlight shone on his body, making his whole body so bright and clean, as if the man who was distracted by his chest was not him at all.
Gu Qingguan turned his face away, not looking at that face. Just because the eyes on this face were too hot, she didn't dare to look at them.
"You also know that when a prince favors a woman, he can keep it secret or report it to the palace. I saw that the palace maid was pretty and cute, so I wanted to give her a title. After my mother found out, she sent a palace steward Grandma, come and investigate carefully. The result is as you expected."
Gu Qingwan remained silent.
The former empress assisted the emperor in ascending the throne and took charge of the six palaces. She was favored for many years and was indeed very powerful. There must be someone behind this matter. A palace maid would never have this kind of spice.
Zhao Jingyan stood up and walked over, lowering his head and looking at her face.
Gu Qingwan didn't want him to notice the strangeness in his heart, so he turned his face away.
Who would have thought that face would enlarge in front of her eyes, getting bigger and bigger. There was no way to hide, so he closed his eyes. However, every breath was filled with the faint smell of dust on the man's body.
Zhao Jingyan smiled, touched the scar on her head with her hand, and whispered: "It was an unpopular concubine of the father who bribed the maid and wanted to use me to say a few good words for her in front of the father. The maid I want to climb up, so I agreed..."
Gu Qingwan bit her lip lightly, feeling all kinds of feelings welling up in her heart, which was hard to distinguish for a moment. There are countless branches and vines in the palace, and there is a conspiracy behind every branch.
After years and years of being trapped here, even the most innocent woman will become beyond recognition because of fame and fortune.
"The queen mother ordered her to be executed. I was kept in the dark and ran to question her." After Zhao Jingyan took a deep breath, she said: "The queen mother said to me sincerely that the palace is cold and there is never pure emotion. Even if we sleep together on the same bed. The bed is just a dream. You are the emperor's favorite. There are so many pairs of eyes in this palace staring at you, trying to get on top of you to achieve their goals.
. Therefore, you can be romantic with women, but you cannot be emotional. Once love strikes, you lose. "
Gu Qingguan opened his eyes suddenly and looked up at the person in front of him. There was a deep understanding in his watery eyes.
Zhao Jingyan's face had already stopped smiling at this moment, and her eyes were looking at her deeply.
"From then on, I understood one thing. Under power, behind the so-called love is nothing but use and calculation. Therefore, I became the dandy prince."
Gu Qingguan only felt that something was blocking his throat, which was uncomfortable and tight.
"But you are different." Zhao Jingyan slowly squatted down and put her hands in her palms. "It was not my wish to meet you. You gave me many weaknesses. But now that I have met you, I will never do it again." Let go. In this world, in my whole life, there will never be a woman who does not seek fame or profit, but only for me.
Come personally. "
"How do you know that I am not interested in your identity as the prince?" Gu Qingwan whispered.
Zhao Jingyan smiled lightly, "I have eyes, I can see clearly."
"Sometimes what you see may not be true."
"In addition to my eyes, I have a heart."
Qingguan was speechless.
How can one deceive others through the contact and attraction of heart to heart
It's just that when he brought her to the former palace and said so many words, there was always a reason. What is the reason? Qingguan habitually thinks deeply about it.
Zhao Jingyan did not let her wait any longer. She sighed softly and said seriously: "The Ninth Five Supreme Being is actually the dream in every prince's heart. Sitting in that position, the world, power, wealth, are all in your hands. But I don't like it. ”
Gu Qingguan's eyes lit up and his breathing froze for a moment.
Zhao Jingyan suppressed the nausea in her heart, "That place is cold and cruel. It is both heaven and hell. It is extremely bloody. Every step I took in the past was actually for my brother."
The deposed prince Zhao Jingqiong
This was the second time Gu Qingwan heard this person from his mouth.
She thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to give this position to him?"
Zhao Jingyan nodded, "Brother is smarter than me and is more suitable for that position. So Wan Wan, what I have to do now is to secure the country and hand it over to him."
At this moment, Qingwan understood the true intention of the man in front of him.
If the prince of Jin Dynasty wants to secure the country, there is only one thing he can do. Wait for the emperor's death, wait for the transfer of power, wait for all the waterways to be established.
However, before the emperor died, the first thing he did was to choose a competent princess for the prince. This princess will never be her.
In other words, his and her affairs still need to be kept in the dark.
Zhao Jingyan moved her slender fingers and whispered: "This is unfair to you. However, compared to being unfair, I don't want to put you at the forefront of the storm. The heart of an emperor is unfathomable. I can't let you be in any danger."
Gu Qingguan's hands trembled, with disbelief in his eyes. It seems that she still underestimated the dirty road to imperial power.
Seeing that she understood, Zhao Jingyan revealed her true intention word for word, "So, once my father grants you a marriage, I will accept it. Don't take it personally."
Don't take it seriously, he was just forced to act out a show.
The man's voice was like a deep stream, slowly flowing into her heart. Qingguan was moved.
In fact, she knew it even if he didn't say it. When people live in this world, even the emperor cannot do whatever he wants. The intersection of priorities and priorities makes this choice the best way.
Qingwan's lips curled up into a smile, "I understand everything. And I even know who your crown princess is. Do you want to know?"
"In no mood!"
She was so well-behaved and transparent, but Zhao Jingyan's heart flashed with gloom. Sheng Shiba is right, when a man wrongs a woman, in fact, to put it bluntly, that man is useless.
If he could, he would like to tell the whole world that this woman is his deep love.
However, at this moment, he could do nothing and could only use this despicable way to seek her consideration and understanding.
And she... has always been so considerate.
Zhao Jingyan was silent for a moment and buried her face in her palm. Gu Qingguan was amused by his action, "Zhao Jingyan, I found that you are really not suitable for that position. Your heart is too soft, you are not as bold as an emperor to kill, and you are too affectionate."
