After Li Chaoge finished speaking, he waved to the people behind him. The tall and burly soldiers immediately stepped forward and lined up to surround the corridor. Gu Peishi backed away in panic, and Pei Chuyue turned pale with fright.
Gu Pei screamed: "You? What do you want? What are you doing? This is the Pei family, you? Are you so presumptuous, aren't you afraid of being punished by the Holy Queen?"
Gu Mingke is taking a rest today, but Pei Xiang and Pei Ji'an are both in the court, and they are not in the mansion at the moment. When Mrs. Pei heard the news, she hurried over with her skirt in hand. Because she ran too fast, Mrs. Pei almost fell down.
"Princess Sheng Yuan!" Mrs. Pei was out of breath. She brushed her hair from her sideburns and assumed the posture of a housewife of aristocratic family. You are besieging the prime minister's mansion, are you trying to rebel?"
"Mrs. Pei, be careful." Li Chaoge glanced at Mrs. Pei lightly, and said, "They are wearing crotchless robes and have neither armor nor swords. Where did the rebellion come from? Me? I just want to invite Mr. Gu to the mansion That's all, you? If you insist on forcing me, don't you? Blame me for tearing my face."
The rain was so powerful that it seemed to drown out all sounds in the world. Drizzling? Amidst the sound of the rain, a person suddenly smiled and said, "The princess is so excited, she even puts on such a big show for the guests. I don't know what the princess wants me to see?"
Gu Mingke looked at her with a smile, his eyes were calm and calm, and he was able to do a job with ease. She is the only one who can put the guests in a rebellious posture.
How could Li Chaoge ask Gu Mingke to look at any calligraphy and painting, this is just an excuse she made up casually. Gu Mingke's eyes seemed to have seen everything, Li Chaoge refused to be defeated, her eyes were clear, and instead said: "Mr. Gu will know when he enters the princess mansion."
"What if I don't go?"
Li Chaoge moved his wrists, lowered his head and tied his sleeves tightly, his eyes were calm and quiet: "Then I can only invite you."
Gu Peishi looked at it in astonishment? Li Chaoge, why do you need someone? Tighten your sleeves? She's not asking, she's clearly robbing!
Gu Mingke glanced at Li Chaoge, and saw that she was wearing the uniform of the town monster, and she probably rushed over from the scene of the case. The clothes under the cloak were already soaked, and she seemed to have stayed in the rain for a long time.
What happened that made her so anxious that she didn't even dare to waste time waiting for the rain to stop
Gu Mingke secretly sighed in his heart, and Jiaowei stretched out his hand. Jiao Wei looked at Young Master's slender and beautiful fingers, was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood what Young Master meant. Jiao Wei ran to the back and asked for a knife from the servant of Pei's mansion, and put it in Gu Mingke's hand like a treasure. Gu Mingke was waiting for something, and suddenly felt a heavy palm. He looked down and saw the knife in his palm, and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You? Give me? What is the knife for?"
Jiao Weizheng is very proud, look at how smart he is, he can understand with just one look from the young master. Suddenly asked back by Gu Mingke, Jiao Wei choked and almost bit his tongue: "Sir, you? Don't you want a weapon?"
In Gu Mingke's sight, Jiao Wei's voice became lower and lower. Gu Mingke held back, paused word by word, and said straightforwardly: "Bring the umbrella."
Jiao Wei really this time? He was stunned. He took the umbrella like a log, handed it to the young master, and watched with his own eyes? The young master opened the bamboo bones and walked down the steps without haste.
Jiao Wei felt that his brain was no longer enough. He looked at Gu Mingke in astonishment as he put the umbrella on Li Chaoge's head, and his voice was clear and pleasant: "You? Think clearly?"
The rain was blocked by the umbrella, and Li Chaoge's world suddenly became much more stable. She brushed her chin with her hand, wiped off the water on her face, and said decisively, "Of course."
"Okay." Gu Mingke just nodded slightly at this, and said in a very ordinary tone, "Then let's go."
As Gu Mingke said that, he walked back. Li Chaoge didn't even realize it. She stayed where she was, and was drenched by the rain again in an instant.
Not to mention the members of the Pei family, even Li Chaoge, the person involved, couldn't accept it. She originally thought that there would be a fierce battle today
Li Chaoge specially counted the days, today is seventeen, Gu Mingke will take a rest. Fortunately, Gu Mingke took a rest, otherwise, Li Chaoge would have to be the first princess to rob someone in the imperial city.
Li Chaoge had never formally fought against Gu Mingke, and he was not sure that he could fight or win. But Li Chaoge has nowhere to go, no matter what the result is, she must let go. In terms of real strength, Li Chaoge must be far inferior to Gu Mingke, but Gu Mingke has to pretend to be weak in front of everyone, and this is Li Chaoge's opportunity. Li Chaoge planned to use all her strength, and the best result she expected was to subdue Gu Mingke and bring him back to the princess mansion, but Li Chaoge did not expect that Gu Mingke would not do anything at all, and would take the initiative to follow her.
He didn't even put on an air of resistance. Gu Mingke took a step and realized that Li Chaoge was not following, so he raised the umbrella higher to cover Li Chaoge from the rain above his head, but he was exposed to the outside.
Gu Mingke lowered his eyes and looked at her calmly: "What's wrong?"
Li Chaoge shook his head, waved his hands calmly, and signaled the soldiers in the Princess Mansion to retreat: "It's okay."
The victory came so quickly, she was a little confused.
The soldiers lined up and retreated quickly, just like when they came, floating like thunder and swift like a dragon. The members of the Pei family were stunned. Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Dingguo frowned tightly, not sure what kind of medicine Li Chaoge sold in the gourd.
Not to mention what was going on in Gu Mingke's mind.
Gu Pei's face was already very ugly. Regardless of the rain, she quickly walked down the steps and asked sharply, "Gu Mingke, what are you doing?"
The soldiers had already received Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge flicked the water on his sleeves and waited calmly with arms folded. The umbrella in Gu Mingke's hand was still mostly covering Li Chaoge's body. He looked back at Mrs. Gu Pei with a calm and calm gaze: "The princess is very kind, but she is disrespectful. I? Go to Princess Shengyuan's mansion to appreciate calligraphy and painting. Mother doesn't have to wait for me."
"You?!" Gu Peishi was so angry that Li Chaoge danced with knives and guns all day long, believing that there were calligraphy and paintings in her house. Li Chaoge is clearly taking the opportunity to rob people, once Gu Mingke enters the princess mansion, how can he get out
What's more, even if he retreated 10,000 steps, Li Chaoge really invited Gu Mingke to go to the mansion to appreciate calligraphy, but she brought so many soldiers who came uninvited, how could she have any respect for the Pei family? If Gu Mingke was really "invited" to leave by Li Chaoge, what face would they have in seeing the Eastern Capital in the future
It is enough to shock the world by forcibly robbing women in the street, but Li Chaoge is even better, just breaking into other people's homes and robbing them. Gu Pei's family loves her face as much as her life. If it is her? The princess kidnaps her son, it will be far more uncomfortable than killing her.
Gu Peishi was standing on the steps, and the maids were afraid that Gu Peishi would get caught in the rain, so they hurriedly tiptoed to hold an umbrella for Gu Peishi. Gu Pei's face was ashen, and his tone already had the meaning of scolding: "Gu Mingke, Princess Sheng Yuan is messing around, and you? Are you following? You? You are the son of Guangyuan Gu's, and every move represents the face of the Gu family. You "Father's accumulated reputation all his life can't tolerate your corruption."
Li Chaoge got angry when she heard this, she was about to refute with a cold face, but was suppressed by Gu Mingke. Gu Mingke calmly watched Mrs. Gu Pei, and said: "Grandfather and father's fame comes from their talents and learning, not their surnames. I earn my living, abide by the law, and never do anything that is not allowed by the law. If I follow the princess as a guest Even if it insults the lintel, then don't want this lintel? "
Gu Peishi was so angry that he was about to faint, but Gu Mingke didn't want to say any more. He turned around in front of everyone in the Pei family, signaling Li Chaoge to leave. Li Chaoge glanced at those people coolly, and said loudly, "Let's go."
When Li Chaoge came, it was like a gust of wind, and when he left, it was also like a storm passing by, rushing out the door all the way. Jiao Wei looked around, snatched an umbrella from the maid, smiled awkwardly at Gu Peishi, and hurried forward to chase Gu Mingke.
There was a carriage parked outside Pei's mansion. The head of the Princess Mansion, Shi, thought something was wrong, so he sent a carriage to Pei's house. When Li Chaoge saw the carriage when he went out, he didn't refuse, he just lifted his clothes and got into the carriage.
Gu Mingke followed behind, closed the umbrella unhurriedly, and followed closely.
Li Chaoge's cloak was no longer waterproof, so she untied the cloak and threw it in the carriage. Li Chaoge silently twisted the water on his clothes, and Gu Mingke Shiran sat across from him. There was no one else in the carriage, and he no longer hid himself. With a flash of light from his fingers, a clean veil was condensed.
Gu Mingke handed it to Li Chaoge, Li Chaoge looked at it, took the handkerchief, and wiped the water on his hair vigorously. Gu Mingke flicked his sleeves, and asked leisurely: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Why did you suddenly go crazy and go to Pei's house to rob someone
Li Chaoge knew that he couldn't hide it from him. In fact, Gu Mingke was willing to cooperate with her, and Li Chaoge was already very grateful. Her strength is far inferior to Gu Mingke's. If Gu Mingke insists on refusing, Li Chaoge really can't take him away.
Li Chaoge wrapped a towel around his hair, twisted the ends of his hair hard, and said, "It's nothing. The Tubo people want to get married, and someone proposed me? I dare not be careless, so I can only take risks."
Gu Mingke had heard about the marriage, but did the palace really agree? Gu Mingke couldn't help but frowned, and asked, "Who suggested it?"
Li Chaoge bowed his head and twisted his hair, his tone light and light: "Prince."
Gu Mingke's pupils dilated slightly, and he didn't speak for a while. He thought about many people, but he never thought that it was the prince.
Gu Mingke was silent. Li Chaoge seemed to be thinking about it, and said: "There will always be such a day. Sending me away is good for the prince. He can make up his mind so quickly, and he is worthy of the words and deeds of the emperor and the empress for many years. This is Li. The struggle within the family, but now you are dragged in for no reason, sorry."
Li Chaoge knew that what he did was extremely shameless. If someone forcibly slandered her reputation in order to take refuge, Li Chaoge would definitely beat him to the ground. As long as there are other choices, Li Chaoge will not involve innocent people.
However, the matter was urgent, and Li Chaoge had no time to arrange it, so he could only rely on this low-level method. She didn't want to get married, but she was the only one left in the palace without a husband's family. Once it was put on the table to negotiate, Li Chaoge would have no way to fight back. She had no choice but to take a slant and create an image for herself of being obsessed with someone and even willing to be a bully, so as to destroy her reputation first.
Such things are devastating to a woman's reputation, not even a princess. Although the princess of the Tang Dynasty had a high status, it was a time when men were superior to women. In the era, it was already deviant for a princess to keep a male favorite in private. She dared to rob a man openly. I am afraid she would be scolded to death by the literati all over the world.
And Li Chaoge wanted to make a big deal out of it, and it would be best if the whole city knew about it, so she wouldn't be able to make a kiss. Li Chaoge wrung out the water from his hair, wiped his chin casually, raised his eyes and said to Gu Mingke, "How about we make a deal?"
Li Chaoge's eyelashes were still stained with drops of water. Her eyes were like a starry sky, clean and bright, with a clear view. When you look into her eyes, you can see your own reflection. Gu Mingke quietly looked at? Li Chaoge, wait? Her next words.
Li Chaoge was suddenly a little nervous, she tightened her fingers, and pinched the handkerchief into crooked creases. But on the surface, she still looked indifferent, and said in a very understated tone: "Your mother should have arranged for you to see that woman today, right? I need a marriage cover, just like you Our family is also urging you, why don't we? Let's work together and get married. Don't worry, it's just a fake marriage. After marriage, each will live his own life. I won't interfere with you, and you won't either. Just ignore me, everything is the same as being unmarried. If you meet a woman you like in the future, we will divorce after three years."
After Li Chaoge finished speaking, he didn't dare to look directly into Gu Mingke's eyes, and avoided his gaze by wiping the water. This agreement is actually not fair. Now Li Chaoge urgently needs to get married, but Gu Mingke is not. Although the family members urged him, as long as Gu Mingke stood firm, Gu Pei and others could not do anything to Gu Mingke. But Li Chaoge is not.
She is facing the biggest crisis since her rebirth. If she can't find a suitable candidate, all her dedication and planning over the years will be in vain. The urgency of the two parties is not equal. Gu Mingke did not agree? Necessary? Besides, this agreement is not beneficial to Gu Mingke.
Li Chaoge said that after marriage, each has his own life, but how can he be married to the royal family? You? Once you marry the princess, the concubine can no longer take concubines. Even if the princess dies of illness in the future, the son-in-law cannot remarry.
Li Chaoge's promise of reconciliation after three years is actually very difficult to achieve, unless she herself becomes a queen and can say that she can say exactly what she wants, otherwise, this is a big cake that can't be seen or touched.
Gu Mingke didn't answer for a long time, and Li Chaoge gradually couldn't sit still. She held on and said calmly: "I'm too strong. You? , but it's okay to be a married boy..."
"good."
Li Chaoge was taken aback, unfinished? The words were stuck in his mouth, and he forgot all of a sudden. Gu Mingke looked at him and was still very calm. He condensed a silk handkerchief with his magic power, gently wiped the water droplets on the side of Li Chaoge's face, and said, "Bai Qianhe is hard to win people's trust. If you find him, the saint may It's an attack on the demon town."
This was the second time Li Chaoge was shocked today, even more unexpected than Gu Mingke's promise to go with her. Did he really? Agree
Li Chaoge couldn't help asking: "Did you hear what I said just now?"
"Of course." Gu Mingke's eyes lightly fell on her shoulder, and said, "You? The wound is not healed yet. After staying in the rain for so long, the wound should be inflamed. Go back and bandage it."
Li Chaoge responded subconsciously. Neither of them spoke after that, Li Chaoge leaned against the carriage for a while, and finally could believe that Gu Mingke agreed to marry her.
This engagement was so bizarre that Li Chaoge seemed to be stepping on a cloud, without any sense of reality. Li Chaoge couldn't help looking at Gu Mingke, Gu Mingke noticed her gaze, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
He was still so cold and calm, as if he had agreed? It was not a marriage contract, but going to have dinner together tomorrow. Li Chaoge didn't know whether to be relieved or disappointed. She pursed her lips, knowing that she shouldn't be willful, but she still couldn't help asking: "You? Really don't care at all? If you change someone today, don't you? Will you agree to get married without hesitation?"
Gu Mingke said quietly: "I think, apart from you, there won't be another woman in the world who grabs a foreigner by force and forces them into marriage."
Li Chaoge thought about it again, it was true. No matter what purpose Gu Mingke agreed to her, as long as the matter is settled, there is no need for other reasons? Get to the bottom of it. It's rare to be confused in this world, he should be satisfied if he is willing to help her, and there should be no extravagance for other things.
Li Chaoge sat upright, and solemnly thanked Gu Mingke: "Thank you. Thank you for helping me out this time. If you are in trouble later, I will definitely die."
Gu Mingke nodded: "Okay, thank you." When he said this, he didn't really take it seriously. Gu Mingke, as the head of the four heavenly courts, has accumulated great prestige and powerful mana. What else is needed? Did Li Chaoge help
There was a soft noise from outside the carriage, and the princess mansion had arrived. The coachman shouted outside: "Princess, the Princess' mansion is here."
Li Chaoge didn't hesitate anymore, he opened the door and got out of the car first, followed by Gu Mingke unhurriedly. Chang Shi waited in fear at the door? His eyes widened when he saw the princess Zhang Yang returning with a man behind him.
Chang Shi saw the face of the visitor clearly, and his voice became stammered: "Gu... Gu Shaoqing?"
Li Chaoge stood calmly in the eyes of everyone, and didn't feel that he had done such a shocking thing: "Mr. Gu wants to be a guest at the princess mansion for a while, and prepare a guest room for Mr. Gu. No, it's too late tonight, I ?Take Mr. Gu back to the main courtyard."
Chang Shi's eyes almost popped out, the main courtyard is Li Chaoge's? Sleeping hall! What is the princess doing
After Li Chaoge finished speaking, Chang Shi was stunned. She disliked these people's talkativeness, so she directly dragged Gu Mingke to the main courtyard. Chang Shi was stunned and stunned. After a while, he finally came to his senses and hurriedly chased after him: "Princess, don't do it yet? Go back to the main courtyard..."
However, Chang Shi reminded? It was too late. How could he compare to Li Chaoge's? Chang Shi was out of breath, and just saw Li Chaoge's back. She pushed open the door and strode into the main courtyard.
Chang Shi covered his eyes unbearably, and said in despair, "Princess, don't do it yet? Go back to the main courtyard, Pei Shiyi is inside."
Li Chaoge pushed open the courtyard door. She was wondering why the door was closed, when she saw a person standing up slowly in the main hall opposite.
The three of them looked at each other, and the rain fell from the eaves, splashing large and small splashes on the bluestone slabs. The maids did not expect Li Chaoge to come back suddenly, let alone Li Chaoge brought a second man back. They tensed their faces, and committed themselves to salute to several people: "See the princess, see Gu Shaoqing."
After Pei Ji'an came out of the palace, the first thing he did was to look for Li Chaoge. But the people from the town demon said that Li Chaoge had already left, Pei Ji'an braved the rain to rush to Princess Sheng Yuan's mansion, and the chief minister of the princess mansion faltered and said that Li Chaoge was not there.
Pei Ji'an was very calm at the moment, he declined Chang Shi's kindness, and sat alone in Li Chaoge's main courtyard and waited. The Princess Mansion is distributed like a royal palace, and the central axis is distributed with the auditorium, the main courtyard and the backyard. The auditorium is a place for weddings and funerals, receiving imperial edicts, etc., and is not usually used; The center of the Princess Mansion; the backyard is temporarily empty. When Li Chaoge gets married or has a child, the backyard should be occupied. Pei Ji'an was waiting for Li Chaoge in the main courtyard. He kept thinking about what to say when he met Li Chaoge. He thought about many possibilities, but he never expected that Li Chaoge would come back with another man.
Pei Ji'an looked at the familiar person, and his heart became colder and colder. That's right, he should have thought of it a long time ago, isn't Li Chaoge just waiting to die? People, how could she wait? Others rescue her, she prefers to break the situation by herself.
This time, she chose Gu Mingke.
The two cousins, Pei Ji'an and Gu Mingke, looked at each other silently. No one asked why the other was in the princess mansion. The maid didn't dare to look up in embarrassment, and Li Chaoge also felt the strange atmosphere belatedly. She cleared her cough and said without changing her face: "I? I didn't know that Pei Shiyi was here. How rude. How do you entertain guests? Just let the guests sit here alone?"
Chang Shi stood at the door, hesitant to speak but stopped. He originally wanted to remind Li Chaoge? Who knew that Li Chaoge walked like flying, and he trotted all the way without catching up.
The maids bowed their heads and humbly accepted the accusation. In the silence, Pei Ji'an said: "Princess, don't criticize others. It has nothing to do with them. I want to wait for you here alone."
He admitted it directly, leaving Li Chaoge at a loss for what to say. Pei Ji'an glanced at Gu Mingke, looked at Li Chaoge, and said, "Princess, I have something to say to you."
Li Chaoge nodded, and casually walked into the room: "Let's talk."
Pei Ji'an's eyes were deep and his body remained motionless: "These words can only be said to the princess alone. Please avoid Gu Shaoqing."
Li Chaoge was stunned, she glanced at the two people, and felt something was wrong. Of course, Gu Mingke noticed that Pei Ji'an's address to him was changed to an official title. Gu Mingke nodded slightly, looking very good-tempered: "Okay."
After Gu Mingke finished speaking, he turned around and went out. Jiao Wei chased after him to the princess mansion, he looked back and forth, and hurriedly chased Gu Mingke out again.
Jiao Wei ran all the way, and his trouser legs were completely wet. He followed behind Gu Mingke, and asked in disbelief: "My lord, you? Just came out like this?"
"Hmm." Gu Mingke glanced at Jiao Wei lightly, and asked strangely, "Otherwise?"
Jiao Wei was silent, not knowing what to say for a while. The sound of rain continued outside the house, and the cool wind passed through the rain curtain and echoed in the long corridor. Jiao Wei followed? Gu Mingke walked for a while, then said quietly: "My lord, you are so virtuous."
Princess Sheng Yuan came to the door to snatch someone, but the young master followed without a word; when he came to the princess mansion, there was another man standing in the main courtyard. The other man asked to have a private chat with the princess. Wandering in the middle, and completely give the space to the man and woman.
Jiao Wei couldn't help but slander him, it looks like he's a son-in-law? Material! Look at this belly, look at this heart, who can match Dongdu
Gu Mingke was a little helpless, and said: "It's Pei Ji'an's turn to be on duty today. He was supposed to be in the palace, but just now he was completely soaked and waited directly at the princess mansion. His? Behavior is very strange. Maybe, he really? What's the matter? Tell the princess about it."
"My lord, please don't explain." Jiao Wei looked at Gu Mingke with a sad face, as if he had seen the faint green light on the monument of the Gu family ancestor, "I understand."
Gu Mingke was choked. Things are actually not what Jiao Wei thinks, Gu Mingke believes that Li Chaoge has no personal affection for Pei Ji'an, Pei Ji'an came to see her on a rainy day, most likely he really? has something to say. Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge were originally married by agreement and would not interfere with each other. They are not married yet, so why would he interfere with Li Chaoge's personal affairs
Gu Mingke knew that he couldn't explain clearly to Jiao Wei, so he simply let him go. Gu Mingke gazed through the vast mist, and tried his best to look at the sky. After a while, he whispered: "Jiao Wei, after the rain stops, send a letter to the Gu family's ancestral house, saying that I
When Jiao Wei heard it, he was stunned for a long time, and asked in disbelief, "My lord, when you met the third lady of Duke Ding's mansion just now, you? Didn't you just say that you have no intention of getting married?"
The sky was dim, and Gu Mingke's side face reflected the rain curtain under the corridor, like a dream, like a dream, clean and unparalleled: "I? Changed my mind."
