Chapter 227: Still Trying to Seduce My Wife
"I actually never dared to dream of being liked by her. I originally thought that she didn't have a lover and would stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for the rest of her life. I could also meet her occasionally under various excuses, which would not be bad."
Unexpectedly, the change came so quickly. Before he ascended the throne, Gu Siqing got married first.
Chi Hongyuan was so sad at the moment, he never thought that the reason why Gu Siqing and Bai Ziyu decided to get married so early was because of him.
He was so sad just knowing that Bai Ziyu had proposed marriage. If he knew that Gu Siqing was in a hurry to find a son-in-law just to get rid of him, he would be even more sad.
The guard did not say anything else. He silently brought clothes for Gu Siqing to change and ordered someone to help his master wash up.
When leaving the house, Chi Hongyuan was still absent-minded, but when he arrived at the court, he was still the vigorous and decisive Crown Prince.
When Chi Hongyuan left the palace after court, the guards were already waiting in front of the carriage. They put down the footrest for him and were about to help him get on the carriage. Unexpectedly, the master suddenly said, "I have one last chance to see her before she gets married."
Guard: “Hmm?”
Having served Chi Hongyuan for many years, the guard had never known that his master was actually an infatuated woman.
That night.
The signal flare quietly rose above Zui Xiang Lou. Gu Siqing expected Chi Hongyuan to see her and was waiting. When she saw Zui Xiang Lou sending out the signal flare, she immediately went there. However, she went there with Bai Ziyu.
When Gu Siqing arrived, Chi Hongyuan had been waiting for a long time.
The door of the wing room was pushed open, and when Gu Siqing walked in, his back was exceptionally straight.
Now that she has been engaged to Bai Ziyu, there is nothing she can do even if Chi Hongyuan is still unwilling to give up.
Chi Hongyuan saw what she was thinking and curled the corner of his mouth. When he saw Bai Ziyu walking in behind her, his face turned cold in an instant.
"Dr. Bai has come to the Xiangfu to propose marriage. The two families haven't even finished the formalities yet. You, a grown man, are following Miss Gu. It's unsightly."
Chi Hongyuan spoke with a wry smile to mock Bai Ziyu. The bluntness of his words was almost the same as directly saying that Bai Ziyu was an eyesore.
"Your Highness is a modest gentleman. It is indeed much more polite to meet a woman in a brothel before she gets married. Such behavior is indeed beyond my reach."
Bai Ziyu has been practicing medicine for many years and has become very good at talking. He was not willing to be outdone in front of Chi Hongyuan and retorted.
"Is it in accordance with etiquette? The two of them haven't even gotten married yet, but they're already wearing the sachets she embroidered and walking around in public. Aren't you afraid of damaging her reputation and being accused of having a secret relationship?"
Chi Hongyuan, who was originally sitting, snorted coldly, sat aside, and was unwilling to look at Bai Ziyu.
"My fiancée gave me the sachet as a gift, so why shouldn't I wear it? This was given to me by my fiancée on the day of the engagement, and everyone in the prime minister's residence witnessed it, but some people are just jealous."
Bai Ziyu was made to laugh by Chi Hongyuan. If Gu Siqing didn't give the sachet she embroidered to her fiancé, would she give it to Chi Hongyuan?
"Put away your smug behavior. It seems that Doctor Bai is very good at putting on an act in front of Prime Minister Yin." Chi Hongyuan implied that he was a mean person and was used to putting on an act in front of his elders.
"Siqing, look at the Ninth Prince, he actually slandered me like this." Bai Ziyu turned around and held Gu Siqing's hand, pitifully asking her for help. Gu Siqing saw the two people arguing until their faces turned red and their necks became thick. She was already in a difficult position being caught in the middle, and she was pulled by Bai Ziyu to complain, feeling a little bit amused.
Everyone in Zui Xiang Lou saw that their master and Mr. Bai were meeting as rivals in love, and they were extremely jealous, so they left the room early.
"Miss Hong, since the master is interested in Miss Gu, why not take the initiative earlier? It is obvious that you can get the upper hand by being close to the water."
After leaving the wing room, Qinnv asked Hongnv in confusion. After knowing Gu Siqing's true identity, they all saw that the master was interested in Miss Gu. How could he miss the opportunity and let others take the lead?
"It's hard to say who is the one who is close to the water. The master has a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders. He didn't expect that Doctor Bai would propose marriage so quickly."
Miss Hong shook her head regretfully, not knowing that she was only half right. Chi Hongyuan didn't even expect Bai Ziyu to come back.
Each of them has his own personality and neither of them is willing to submit to the other. In the past, they could live in harmony because there were no conflicts. But now, they have a big grudge against each other. Although they will not fight to the death, they are bound to dislike each other.
"Why don't you two have a cup of tea to calm down." Gu Siqing smiled reluctantly. He glanced at the hot tea on the table, and hurriedly pulled Bai Ziyu to sit down. With a playful smile, he poured tea for the two of them.
When the tea was pushed in front of them, they both slapped it on the table at the same time and said in unison: "When did I get angry?"
One of the two men practiced martial arts, and the other studied medicine for many years. They both had strong hands and almost knocked the teacup over.
Gu Siqing: “…”
Doesn't this look like a bit of a temper? Gu Siqing sighed secretly, somewhat regretting bringing Bai Ziyu with him.
Although Chi Hongyuan hadn't said why he had called her here, she could vaguely guess why. Since Chi Hongyuan hadn't forcibly destroyed the marriage, he probably wouldn't do anything else. She wouldn't be in danger if she came here tonight.
"I don't get angry easily, especially for some unworthy people. But I have to taste Siqing's tea carefully and not let her down." Chi Hongyuan took a breath, picked up the teacup and closed his eyes to sip the tea.
"Tsk." Bai Ziyu sneered disdainfully, "You are just putting on airs. Who are you trying to show off to? Are you trying to seduce my wife?"
"How dare you!" Chi Hongyuan slammed the teacup on the tea table. Gu Siqing's breathing stagnated. She held her breath and lowered her head. She was sandwiched between these two people, as if she was in a world of ice and fire. She was in great torment, fearing that the two of them would fight if they disagreed.
"You've only gone to the prime minister's residence to propose marriage, and you haven't really married her yet. How can you keep calling her my wife!" Chi Hongyuan had probably never done anything so disrespectful before, but today he was actually speaking harshly and pointing at other people's noses and cursing them.
Gu Siqing looked up at the sky with despair in her heart. If Chi Hongyuan really fought with Bai Ziyu with fists and feet, Bai Ziyu would probably not be Chi Hongyuan's opponent. One was the crown prince of Yue State, and the other was the King Xiaoyao of Qi State. They couldn't afford to offend either of them.
"It is true that my words were inappropriate, but Siqing will soon become my official wife. When the time comes, Your Highness must come and drink a glass of wedding wine to congratulate us on our marriage."
Bai Ziyu spoke with the principle of angering people to death, and every word was heart-piercing. Gu Siqing put her hand on the table and pinched him. Bai Ziyu felt pain and looked at Gu Siqing aggrievedly, his eyes seemed to ask why he was pinched.
"Don't be so ungrateful. What you said is a bit too much." Gu Siqing lowered her voice and whispered in his ear.
She reminded Bai Ziyu, and Chi Hongyuan heard that the two of them were whispering to each other. Chi Hongyuan felt sad but could do nothing about it. He was a step behind others, and he couldn't make Gu Siqing fall in love. There was nothing to say. If you miss it, you miss it.
