Li Chaoge looked at Gu Mingke's face from a close distance. Gu Mingke's pupils were very dark, and it seemed that even light couldn't pass through the depths, but the whites of his eyes were extremely clear, and he was naturally ruthless. When being looked at by such eyes, it makes people feel cold and small for no reason.
Confrontation is a test of the heart. If a person dares to confront others, one can see whether the person's ego is strong enough. Obviously, both Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke are extremely powerful people at heart. Li Chaoge was used to monopolizing power in his previous life. He used his eyes to coerce others. Only she suppresses others so that they dare not raise their heads. There is absolutely no reason for her to back down for others. Unexpectedly, Gu Mingke did the same.
This is not a character that can be cultivated by a sick and weak son who depends on others. The two of them stared at each other for a long time, and neither of them took the lead to look away. Finally, Li Chaoge smiled and said, "Are you sure? I'm not willing to do it?"
unwilling? Gu Mingke's lips ticked slightly? Hooked, and said: "Princess, you can try."
Try to see if you are reluctant, or you can't beat it.
Li Chaoge looked at this beautiful face, with stiff browbones, deep eyes, high and straight nose, but thin lips, with a sense of coldness and alienation. From top to bottom, Li Chaoge couldn't find a fault, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
I'm really sorry.
Li Chaoge said slowly: "I'm the most annoying people in my life, especially those bastards in Dali Temple. I want to do it when I see them. But you are good-looking, and I don't want to, so... I just talked to you nicely? Discuss. Gu Mingke, my patience? There is a limit, you should stop when it is enough."
It's really arrogant, Gu Mingke also looked directly at her, and said slowly: "What a coincidence, I am also the most in my life? I hate people who know the law and break the law."
The eyes of the two people were full of flames, and they were about to explode. Suddenly, a male voice came from the side. It sounded a bit unbearable: "Princess Sheng Yuan, Cousin Gu, what are you doing?"
The battle that was brewing was interrupted by outsiders. Li Chaoge withdrew his hand with a cold face, and Gu Mingke also lowered his head to clean his sleeves. Both of them looked unhappy. Pei Ji'an held back his anger, walked up to him, and asked sharply, "What were you doing just now?"
Gu Mingke never answered meaningless questions. He concentrated on arranging his sleeves without any intention of talking. Li Chaoge sneered, she was reluctant to fight Gu Mingke, but it didn't mean she changed her profession to believe in Buddhism. She was full of stomach, and there was no place to vent her anger, so by chance, Pei Ji'an came up to her. Li Chaoge looked at Pei Ji'an, and said in a bad tone, "What's none of your business?"
Pei Ji'an choked, thinking? Yes, what does Li Chaoge have to do with him now? Pei Ji'an shook his fist, suppressed his emotions and said, "I naturally have no right to interfere with what the princess wants to do. But today is a Jinshi banquet, and my cousin is a Jinshi and a junior of the Pei family. I hope the princess will look at the face of the Pei family." Come on, pay attention to the defense of men and women, and don't cross the line."
Li Chaoge snorted lightly, and said disdainfully: "The Pei family? Is it only teaching? Giving? Is there any difference between men and women? He blamed me first, and I will give? It's only natural for me to ask for justice. It's only natural for you to talk about it?"
Gu Mingke reminded coldly: "I haven't made any promises, are you thinking too much?"
When Li Chaoge was mentioned, she became angry. She turned her head and stared at Gu Mingke, raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "When you agreed at the beginning, didn't you just acquiesce to this rule?"
"Only you think so." Gu Mingke was unmoved at all, and said coldly, "Those? The so-called unspoken rules are to disregard discipline and law and play power for personal gain. As a princess, you actually encourage this kind of behavior." Unhealthy winds and evil spirits? There is really no way for kings."
Li Chaoge wanted to do it again after hearing it, Pei Ji'an couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted angrily: "Enough?"
Pei Ji'an is from a family? A son? For many years, he has been gentle, self-denying and respectful, and rarely gets angry. But now, his face was livid, and his fists were clenched tightly. It was obvious that his anger had reached the extreme.
Both Pei Chuyue and Li Changle were frightened by such Pei Ji'an? Even Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge finally stopped talking and looked back at him together.
Pei Ji'an knew that he had lost his composure, but he couldn't help it. He originally thought it was Li Chaoge's wishful thinking, and Li Chaoge even picked Pei Ji'an's cousin on purpose, just to anger him. So although Pei Ji'an looked at those two people as an eyesore, he never took it seriously in his heart. He arranged his marriage with Li Changle step by step, selfishly? In his heart, he was sure? Li Chaoge couldn't let him go.
After all, in the previous life, for Li Chaoge's sake, he was so crazy that he even did not hesitate to fight against the people of the world. How could it be possible for her to love so desperately? How could she suddenly transfer her love to someone else
Deep down in his heart, Pei Ji'an never believed that Li Chaoge would really fall in love with Gu Mingke. It's just that Gu Mingke and him are cousins, and their looks and temperaments are very similar. Li Chaoge doesn't know whether it's out of revenge or sustenance, so that's why he keeps his eyes on Gu Mingke frequently? But truth and falsehood are different after all. After the initial novelty passes, Li Chaoge will get tired of it sooner or later.
Pei Ji'an never expected that Li Chaoge would come for real. What was said just now was directly shattered? Pei Ji'an's calmness and superiority, Pei Ji'an didn't know what they talked about earlier, but the following words were enough to make Pei Ji'an feel cold and furious
Both inside and outside the words show that Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke have a substantive relationship, and Gu Mingke doesn't want to take responsibility yet. Pei Ji'an originally thought that it was just Li Chaoge's wishful thinking and entanglement. Who would have thought that Gu Mingke was the one who was really sluggish. He looked at the wind and the moon, cold and aloof, but in the end
Pei Ji'an was so angry that he couldn't speak. He didn't know whether he should hate Gu Mingke for being inconsistent, or whether he should hate Li Chaoge for not remembering to eat or beat, and whether he should fall on the man after rebirth. Li Changle and Pei Chuyue stood not far away, and they fell silent when they heard what Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke said.
The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are open. Although they are still unmarried ladies, they know what they should know. The royal family of Li and Tang has Hu people's blood, and after many years of integration of Hu and Han in the north, the shackles on "women" are not so strict. It is common for women to show their heads in public, and it is not uncommon for aristocratic girls to have close contacts with men, and it is not uncommon for them to be virgins even before they get married.
Anyway, as long as the marriage is clean and dignified, it will not affect the alliance between the two families. But the noble girls are all the assets of the family, and the future husband's family symbolizes their lifetime investment. No matter how generous the man says it is, it is impossible for him to ignore it in his heart. Therefore, in order to marry a good husband, girls who are valued by the family generally don't mess around before marriage, even if they fuck, they can't have sex with them.
So just now when Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke were arguing, they understood it all at once. Li Changle and Pei Chuyue were clear in their hearts, but they couldn't show that they understood to the crowd, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while. Fortunately, at this time, a servant came over and relieved the surrounding crowd.
The servant crossed his hands and bowed to Li Chaoge and Li Changle: "Princess Sheng Yuan, Princess Guangning, the Queen of Heaven welcomes you."
Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke were standing by the water, and the two of them were conspicuous. Did the Empress see the entanglement just now? After a few days, I took a closer look and found that the two daughters were chasing after the man. They felt that it was out of place, so they sent someone to call Li Chaoge and Li Changle away.
Li Chaoge doesn't want to leave, she and Gu Mingke haven't talked yet? Okay, why should we go? But can't Li Chaoge say what Tianhou said? He didn't listen, so he turned his head and stared hard? Gu Mingke glanced at him and threatened, "Wait, we're not done with today's business."
Gu Mingke just sneered slightly at this, not paying attention to it at all.
After Li Chaoge and Li Changle left, only the brothers and sisters of the Pei family and Gu Mingke were left in place. Pei Chuyue coughed, and asked innocently, "Cousin, what were you talking about with Princess Sheng Yuan just now, and why did you get into an argument at the end?"
Gu Mingke's eyes were clear and straight, and he asked his heart? He said without shame: "Business."
Pei Chuyue hesitated to speak, with a look of embarrassment. Pei Ji'an didn't expect it to be this time? Gu Mingke was still covering up. Pei Ji'an was so angry that he was about to explode. He lowered his voice and warned, "Cousin, it's only reasonable for you to study history. I hope you don't do it." Shameless."
Gu Mingke nodded, and said calmly: "Naturally."
Li Chaoge actually wanted to influence the outcome of the judicial verdict? He also wanted him to acquit Mo Linlang, so Gu Mingke of course immediately rejected her.
It is absolutely impossible to bend the law for personal gain
Seeing Gu Mingke's firm, bright, upright eyes, Pei Ji'an almost believed it. Pei Ji'an thought that he was used to seeing intrigues in his previous life, but this time, for the first time, he clearly realized what it means to know people, know their faces, but not their hearts.
He doesn't know his cousin at all. He and Gu Mingke have lived in the same house for many years, so it is reasonable enough to know the basics, but in this short month, Gu Mingke has refreshed his cognition time and time again. Pei Ji'an was also very curious, how much of Gu Mingke did he not know
Pei Ji'an really couldn't calmly stay with Gu Mingke peacefully, Pei Ji'an hurriedly said a word of impoliteness, turned around and strode away, almost running away. Pei Chuyue called out anxiously, she looked at Gu Mingke, then at her angry brother, sighed helplessly, and asked in a low voice, "Cousin, do you have any secrets?"
Gu Mingke's brows moved slightly, and he looked at Pei Chuyue puzzledly: "What?"
Pei Chuyue didn't know what to say? She gestured and said, "It's between you and Princess Sheng Yuan. She is a princess after all. If you have a secret, you can tell me? I'll let my father come forward. Is there a Pei family? , she dare not mess around."
When Gu Mingke heard it, he immediately said calmly: "No need, I have already rejected her."
Li Chaoge tried in vain to influence the verdict by drawing connections? Gu Mingke could solve this trivial matter by himself, so why would the Pei family need to come forward? What Gu Mingke thought about was the case, but when it fell into Pei Chuyue's ears, the meaning changed completely.
Pei Chuyue's mood was ups and downs today, a young girl's heart seemed to be crushed, soaked in vinegar, bitter, sour and astringent. Her immaculate and unattainable cousin is going to propose a marriage, but the person is not her, and the cousin is forced by the princess to rob her. This is the white moonlight she has liked for so many years, how can Pei Chuyue accept it
On the other side, the servant led Li Chaoge and Li Changle down the corridor. Li Changle followed Li Chaoge. She raised her head quietly and looked at Li Chaoge's bright and flying face. Gu Mingke, what's going on?"
Li Chaoge glanced coldly? Li Changle glanced: "Why are you asking this?"
The servant in front is the Queen of Heaven. Li Changle couldn't say it? He was too straightforward, so he hinted: "It's not interesting, I'm just a little worried. That's all. I don't know what my sister and Gu Mingke talked about today? What, why are they arguing?" Get up? I'm afraid it won't be good if you don't look up and see you when you look down."
Li Chaoge snorted disdainfully, and said, "It's just about business. In public speaking, no matter how stupid he is, he won't be able to trip me up in business affairs in the future."
Li Chaoge was very angry at Gu Mingke today, but she still trusted Gu Mingke's character. If someone offends Li Chaoge, Li Chaoge will take advantage of his position to retaliate, but if it is Gu Mingke, he will not.
Li Chaoge still has this eye for seeing people.
Li Changle raised his eyebrows, glanced quickly at Li Chaoge, and pouted his mouth, but didn't say anything. Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke didn't even look for excuses, they actually said it was for official business. How do you say? They think that others are fools
With such a beautiful scenery, Li Chaoge ran over to discuss official business, and Gu Mingke stood with her for so long, also for official business. Say? Who will believe it
Li Changle snorted lightly in his heart.
Today's Jinshi Banquet originally focused on more than 20 new Jinshi, but now Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke completely stole the limelight. Li Chaoge is a topical figure, and he has been in the limelight recently in Dongdu, while Gu Mingke is the number one in the Ming Law Department, which is unanimously respected by the Ministry of Rites and Dali Temple Minister. When these two people get together, it is difficult not to attract attention.
Moreover, the two of them got together, and the movement was not small.
The hearts of the women's family members are broken for a while, but the husband's place is much more lively. Several officials and sons got together and joked: "Gu Mingke is so beautiful, Princess Sheng Yuan specially ran to him to talk to him, until she was called away by the Queen of Heaven, she was reluctant to part. I heard? That's right? Gu Mingke is very concerned?"
"That's right. You didn't see that at that time. There were so many people in the palace. Princess Sheng Yuan ran down the steps holding her skirt and walked towards Gu Mingke without looking back. Looking at that posture, I thought the two People have known each other for a long time, this is a reunion after a long absence."
All the gentlemen looked at each other. They were all bloody young men. They didn't need to say too much. They understood everything at this moment. They laughed, and someone saw that Pei Ji'an was there, and deliberately approached him, and joked: "Pei Dalang, your family is really blessed with good luck. You are engaged to Princess Guangning on the front foot, and your cousin will hook you on the back foot." Gone? Princess Sheng Yuan. You brothers can do it!"
Pei Ji'an was already in a bad mood, but when he heard this, his mood plummeted, and his face turned cold immediately: "This is in the palace, you should pay attention to your words."
Everyone was joking and saying that it was going well, but suddenly a disappointed person came out, and everyone was very upset, saying: "What's the matter with you recently? When you mention your cousin and Princess Sheng Yuan, you feel weird."
Pei Ji'an said nothing with a sullen face, he also wanted to know what happened to him. At this time, many people looked up, and Pei Ji'an looked up, and saw Li Chaoge walking over with a long cloak, she stopped under a peach blossom, her vermilion skirt reached the ground, her tassels were swaying, her appearance was brighter than the peach blossom behind her .
She is as beautiful as a flower, but her expression is as cold as ice. Li Chaoge's eyes were cold, and he asked, "Where's Gu Mingke?"
All the gentlemen were being attracted by the beauty, and when they heard another man's name, they were immediately disappointed. Only Pei Ji'an and Gu Mingke were related. Li Chaoge's words were obviously about Pei Ji'an.
Pei Ji'an raised his face and said, "Cousin is out of the palace?"
Out of the palace?? Li Chaoge gritted his teeth secretly, this bastard actually ran away? Li Chaoge was called away by the Queen of Heaven just now. She originally thought it was the result of the Demon Suppressing Division incident? However, the Queen of Heaven was admiring flowers and tea with them, and talking about poems and songs again and again, without mentioning serious things. Li Chaoge knew that the emperor was not persuaded so quickly, and it was not really a matter of Tianhou calling them over.
Tianhou simply dismissed them.
Li Chaoge had no choice but to wait until Tianhou let her go. She came back aggressively, only to find that Gu Mingke had left. Now that Gu Mingke has left the palace, Li Chaoge and Pei Ji'an have nothing to say? She turned around and left without saying anything.
Seeing Li Chaoge's resolute departure, all the gentlemen were shocked on the spot. They stared wide-eyed, in disbelief: "Pei Dalang, Princess Sheng Yuan came here specifically to ask you Gu Mingke?"
"So ruthless, don't you even pretend what you say?"
Pei Ji'an was still jumping for joy, but Li Chaoge talked to her alone in the crowd, saying that she was different from him. In the end, Li Chaoge talked to him only to ask about Gu Mingke's whereabouts.
If you understand it, then this tool will be useless.
Pei Ji'an smiled wryly, feeling so confused for a moment that he couldn't distinguish his inner feelings.
