"You are the legitimate daughter of your family. Pei Changying was still an unpopular prince with no future at that time. Even if you were attracted to Pei Changying, your family would never agree to let you marry him."
"Forget it, let's not talk about these old things. What's the matter with you contacting me?"
Gu Qingrou was stunned for a moment.
Yes.
So what if the emperor likes me?
She is the legitimate daughter of the Gu family.
How could she marry a bastard who was abandoned by everyone? Moreover, at that time, she simply looked down on his background.
At this moment, Gu Qingrou actually felt as if she had never gained anything, as if she could not compete with Gu Sang in anything, and even that little delusion was gone.
She said with self-mockery and melancholy, "I just want to tell you that since you've already gone back, don't come back."
“Sometimes what you see may not be what you see.”
"Gu Sang, do you know what your only shortcoming is?"
Seeing Gu Sang frown, Gu Qingrou chuckled and said:
"Even I can see that your biggest flaw is your grandmother. You could say your grandmother is your weak spot."
"Every time you show your emotions, it's because of your grandma."
"No one in the palace is unaware of this, because there's a good chance someone will use this to trick you back."
Gu Sang had long guessed that the scumbag must have a backup plan.
So it’s here!
Gu Sang smiled and narrowed his dark eyes dangerously: "It's Pei Changying, right?!"
"It doesn't matter who it is. I just want to tell you that if you encounter it, observe carefully. If it's fake, it's fake. Pay more attention to details and you won't be fooled."
"Otherwise, I don't want to say more to you."
"You know, you are nothing but a disaster to me."
"If possible, I really hope that you never existed in my world, and you never appear again!"
Gu Qingrou's vague words made Gu Sang guess Pei Changying's plan. Combined with her previous conversation with Pei Changying, she immediately figured out the whole story.
Even the following words.
Gu Sang didn't care at all.
Who would compete with you for Pei Changying?
for you!
You guys are locked up!
So, he looked at Gu Qingrou with a little more gentleness in his eyes: "Okay, thank you for reminding me, I will be locked in with Pei Changying for the rest of my life."
"Anything else?"
Gu Qingrou looked at the glowing screen, and heard Gu Sang thanking her. A look of discomfort flashed across her face.
She has always regarded Gu Sang as her love rival, and she hated her even more for being a stepping stone between her and Pei Changying.
Even though Gu Sang knew Pei Changying first, the one who is not loved is the third party!
But at that time, she didn't have the courage to say to Gu Sang, you third party, Pei Changying doesn't love you, you should go away quickly, Pei Changying loves me.
She must be secretly envious and jealous of Gu Sang in her heart.
Because although Gu Sang has never received Pei Changying's love, she has the ability to help Pei Changying seize the throne.
So, she could only watch Pei Changying coax Gu Sang with a humble attitude.
Watching the man she loved most, being affectionate with her one moment, and going out with Gu Sang the next, receiving everyone's blessings.
She has always had complicated feelings towards Gu Sang. She can’t say she feels resentment, but she does feel disgust and jealousy.
Gu Qingrou turned her head and faced Gu Sang with her side profile, hiding her emotions under the other half of her face.
"Also, I don't want you to come back! Ever!"
"I am not like you who have a choice. In this place, my husband is my life. The best outcome for me is to hold on to the emperor tightly and defend my position as queen to the death."
"So, I don't want you to come back. If you come back, given the Emperor's current obsession with you, he will definitely make you his empress."
"I have already sacrificed all my happiness. There is no way back. I cannot lose the position of Queen!"
Seeing the stubborn mind beneath Gu Qingrou’s weak appearance.
Every word and sentence represents a position.
There is deep affection in his eyes.
Gu Sang suddenly found it ridiculous. She sighed and asked, "You gave up so much, did so many evil things, even hurt yourself, and have been diligently guarding your position as queen."
"Whenever there's a slight disturbance, you act like you're facing a formidable enemy, making yourself so embarrassed."
"Is this what you wanted? Is it worth it?"
Gu Qingrou was slightly startled, and her lips trembled in the light of the candle.
This moment.
Countless images flashed through her mind.
There are live broadcasts in later generations.
There is Pei Changying's tenderness towards herself.
And her father's expectations of her.
A trace of confusion flashed across her eyes. Finally, she took a deep breath and said firmly:
"I don't care whether it's worth it or not. I only know that I like Pei Changying. No matter how much of a loser he is in your eyes, in my heart, he is my favorite person. Even if he has shortcomings, I still like him."
"I have nothing left to lose but the Emperor."
"Gu Sang, he's the only one I have."
"You're asking me if it's worth it? Oh, how ironic."
How to choose if there is no choice?
Just like the rich never understand why the poor are so poor, and they think that as long as the poor are diligent, they will definitely become rich.
She and Gu Sang are from two completely different worlds. Gu Sang can fall in love freely. She has received education from later generations and has the courage and confidence to choose what she wants.
But she was trained to be a good wife and mother since she was a child.
The path she was destined to take was to be a wife and mother, she had no choice!
Gu Sang actually wanted to say a lot, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
Gu Qingrou had never seen light in her married life. How could she long for light? She didn't even know what it was!
But Gu Sang is different. She was born in a bright future. She is proud and will never give in.
Gu Sang was silent for a long time, so long that Gu Qingrou thought Gu Sang had left long ago, until Gu Sang's sigh sounded again.
"Well, whatever you want."
"I'll show you our married life in the future when there's a chance."
"It seems that since ancient times, our parents have asked us to learn how to cook and do housework, just so that when we marry into another family, we can take good care of our husband's family."
"But this is actually moral kidnapping. Why must women be the ones who pay? Why must women be the ones who handle both the living and the kitchen?"
"In our later generations, many boys can now do housework, such as cooking and washing clothes. People's mindsets are gradually changing."
"From small changes like these to a shift in mindset, both men and women have come to realize that marriage is something both partners need to work on, not just one person putting in the hard work."
"A partner who is emotionally stable, understands you, and loves you is the one you deserve. As for a partner who doesn't take you seriously, it's best to cut your losses in time."
"Take care of yourself, Gu Qingrou."
