There seemed to be a faint fragrance in the air.
Xu Qingyi's gentle palm touched my head, and a tingling feeling spread to my heart.
For some reason, Gu Qingsheng's eyes suddenly became wet.
Even she herself was a little surprised by this sudden feeling of sadness and familiarity.
Why exactly?
The touch on the head was fleeting, and he put down his hand, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle.
"Then I'll go and prepare first. I'll send someone to pick up the princess later."
Gu Qingsheng nodded for some unknown reason, and when he raised his head, his eyes were red, which made Xu Qingyi stunned for a moment.
Thinking that she was still in a state of distress, Xu Qingyi took out a handkerchief from her bosom and stretched out her hand, as if to wipe her tears. However, she hesitated for a moment in Gu Qingsheng's confused eyes, then put her hand down and placed the handkerchief in her palm.
"Princess, please don't cry. Someone will be here soon."
It was a long time after Xu Qingyi left that Gu Qingsheng came back to his senses. He clenched the handkerchief in his hand, and his eyes flashed.
…
"I think there's something going on this time!"
The palace maids around him saluted Xu Qingyi in groups of three or four. He did not look away, seemed to be in a good mood, and walked briskly.
This voice came from his arms. Seeing that Xu Qingyi ignored her, she hummed a few words and continued
"I don't know why this princess has changed her personality. She's completely different from before. Since she doesn't like that... Chu... Chu..."
The voice rang for a long time but I couldn't think of the name, so Xu Qingyi reminded me
"Chu Zhiyao."
"Yes! Chu Zhiyao! Since she doesn't like Chu Zhiyao! Then just go for it boldly! Stop cowering like a coward!"
"You have a profound cultivation, but you've been a coward your whole life! You have to be brave this time, young man!"
But Xu Qingyi still didn't answer, which made the voice anxious, and it felt like scratching its head.
"Damn it! Say something! I'm dying of suffocation!"
"In our time, someone like you would never find a partner! Bah! What's the point of being good-looking!"
The sound kept chattering, like a noisy bird chirping in his ears.
"Shut up."
As if he had finally been unable to bear it any longer, Xu Qingyi slowly uttered these two words.
The voice fell silent for a second and shut its mouth obediently.
"I still want to respect her own choice."
Such a sentence floated in the air, and then scattered in the wind, carrying a bit of regret.
The invited officials and noble ladies arrived one after another. In front of the palace gate, Chu Zhiyao stood quietly at the end of the line.
The two noble ladies in the carriage beside him were discussing something, and Chu Zhiyao heard every word they said.
"Why is the Queen so slow? If she goes any later, it will delay the time."
"Not only the Queen, you see, the Princess and the Imperial Preceptor haven't come yet."
"When I entered the palace this morning, I heard that the princess was the first to arrive, but she was injured at the gate of the palace. This alarmed many people, and the emperor and empress all went to visit her."
The noble lady sighed and looked strange after hearing this.
"As expected, having royal blood is noble. Even if she did those shameful things a few days ago, the Emperor and Empress still love her."
"It's really pitiful for our young general to be harassed by such an arrogant and unreasonable person..."
The two men's voices became lower and lower. Chu Zhiyao raised his eyes, hiding a solemn look in them, and took a few steps forward, as if he sneered at what the two were talking about.
A small dark red carriage appeared in his sight.
Because there were many female relatives coming and their families were all well-off, this dark red crown without any jewels was not conspicuous, but it made Chu Zhiyao's eyes light up.
His heart was beating very fast, and he seemed to be running. He didn't care about the eyes of people around him. When he was about to approach the girl, a slender hand opened the side curtain of the girl, revealing pink nail polish.
The hurried footsteps suddenly stopped.
His pupils slowly widened as he looked at the beautiful white face emerging from the side curtain. Every frown and smile touched the deepest string in his heart.
The sounds around me quieted down.
"Zhao Zhao."
Chu Zhiyao heard himself shout.
Luo Zhaozhao was obviously attracted by his voice and looked over here.
Wherever our eyes meet, there is tenderness and nostalgia.
Luo Zhaozhao blinked
"Who are you……"
"The Queen has arrived!"
"Princess Changle has arrived!"
Eunuch Li's voice interrupted the scene, and the voices of the surrounding discussions became quieter. Countless female relatives came down from the carriages one after another and saluted the Queen.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen!"
This scene made the queen nod, and her voice was full of majesty.
"Everyone, get up."
She held Gu Qingsheng's hand and smiled at her kindly
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"I am fine now. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Gu Qingsheng also smiled back.
The ladies could no longer sit still, looking at each other and grumbling at the strange sight.
In the past, the queen was indeed special to the princess, but I have never heard of them being so good to each other.
This picture is really weird.
Unexpectedly, the two of them walked up to Chu Zhiyao.
A strong sense of coldness suddenly blossomed around Gu Qingsheng! She slowly retracted her smile and looked at Chu Zhiyao calmly, hiding the deepest pain and hatred in her heart. The wind even slowed down, leaving only the deepest thoughts in their calm eyes.
Chu, Zhi, Yao.
I meet you again.
Gu Qingsheng slowly raised the corners of his lips, and a hint of cunning quietly fell on her lips.
Chu Zhiyao narrowed his eyes due to intuition, and subconscious thoughts flashed through his mind.
Danger.
We passed each other in a flash.
The two of them looked at each other as if nothing had happened. When passing by Luo Zhaozhao again, Gu Qingsheng didn't even take his eyes off her.
There is a long way to go, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Chu Zhiyao slowly turned his head, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
He looked deeply at Gu Qingsheng's back, his eyes as dark as a swamp.
After the queen got on the carriage, the noble ladies also got on one after another.
I thought that Princess Changle would meet General Chu today, and they would be able to watch a good show.
In the end, nothing happened, and they waited in vain.
The second carriage after the Queen's carriage was supposed to be for the Third Princess, but now that she was under house arrest, according to her status, this position naturally belonged to Gu Qingsheng.
She stood steadily beside the carriage, head held high and chest puffed out like a sturdy white peony in the wind, accepting all the gazes coming from the carriages.
"It's almost time, why hasn't she gone up yet? What is she doing standing by the road?"
"Perhaps it will attract General Chu's attention."
A low voice was heard, and Bai Lu frowned and was about to yell over there.
“No need.”
Gu Qingsheng slowly raised his hand.
