"The prince is here!"
The sound of "The prince is coming" made Gu Yue overjoyed.
Since she entered the palace, this was the first time that the King of Chu had taken the initiative to step into her room. How could he not be happy, how could he not be surprised.
Regardless of her five or six-month-old belly, she ran to the door to greet them, bringing with her a gust of fragrant wind.
"Your Majesty!"
The call of "Prince" was soft and charming.
The King of Chu's expression was gloomy. He reached out and lifted her chin, forcing her to tilt her head back.
Gu Yue's heart was pounding and her eyes were full of spring.
Even though she knew that she could not sleep with the king because of her pregnancy, it did not stop her from using her charm on the king of Chu and preparing to gain his favor after giving birth.
"They are obviously sisters, why are they so different?" The King of Chu was very confused.
Gu Yue was even more confused than him, she thought she had heard it wrong.
She asked cautiously, "I don't understand what your Highness said."
The King of Chu laughed sarcastically, "Madam Zhao is pregnant."
Gu Yue first exclaimed "Ah!", then asked with a look of joy: "Is my elder sister pregnant? She has been married to Master Zhao for two years, and she is finally pregnant. Congratulations. Your Majesty, can I go visit my second elder sister?"
The King of Chu snorted, "Not only is Madam Zhao pregnant, but the Emperor's grandfather also specially sent Chen Dachang to the Prince of Ning's mansion to give her gifts."
Gu Yue was shocked.
Even though she knew nothing about the court and was a novice in the harem, she knew that this was definitely the first time that the emperor had given a gift because the emperor's grandson's wife was pregnant.
How could Gu Yue deserve such an honor?
The voice of the King of Chu rang in her ears, "Marrying a wife is like gaining an army. Not only did he gain a woman and money, but now he also has the special attention of the Emperor's grandfather. You are both members of the Gu family, and you are sisters. Why is there such a big difference between you?"
Gu Yue opened and closed her lips. What should she say? What could she say?
She looked pale.
Even though she didn't understand the King of Chu's temper, she could see the intense anger in his eyes.
The King of Chu was really angry.
"Madam Zhao is famous throughout the world, but you, her sister, are worthless. You can't even get close to her. Tell me, what use do I have for you?"
The King of Chu did not hide his dislike for Gu Yue at all.
Moreover, he pinched Gu Yue's jaw with increasing force.
Gu Yue felt pained and looked aggrieved. "Your Highness, it's not like that. It was just a little misunderstanding between my sister and me. We can talk it out."
The King of Chu laughed, "You mean you have a way to get close to Madam Zhao?"
Gu Yue nodded repeatedly, "I will not lie to Your Majesty."
The King of Chu had an unclear expression and a deep look in his eyes. It took him a while to make a decision. "Stay here and don't even think about leaving the palace."
Gu Yue was surprised.
She refused to give up, "Your Majesty, I am really close to my sister."
The King of Chu sneered, "So what?"
Gu Yue was confused, "Didn't the prince just say..."
"What did I say? Do I need to please Liu Zhao, or do I need to please your sister?"
Gu Yue knew she had said the wrong thing and shook her head repeatedly, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was..."
"Whatever you mean, stay here and be obedient to me."
The King of Chu interrupted Gu Yue twice in a row and was obviously very impatient.
He pushed Gu Yue away with a look of disgust, then turned and left.
The King of Chu came and went like the wind, and Gu Yue's expression was unpredictable.
"Liangdi..."
Bang!
Gu Yue turned around and slapped the maid Grape directly on the face.
Grape knelt on the ground and apologized as if by reflex.
Gu Yue gritted her teeth and said, "I've already married into the Chu Palace and become a concubine. Why won't Gu Jiu let me go? Tell me."
"Liang Di, be careful of the child." Grape advised.
Gu Yue snorted coldly, "Shut up. Child, child, all day long is for the child. If it weren't for this child, would I have endured so much suffering?
Why did Gu Jiu want to harm me? She was pregnant, so what? Which woman wouldn't get pregnant? Why was she the most high-profile? Why did His Majesty value her so much?
Her pregnancy has nothing to do with me, yet I have to suffer this misfortune because of her. Do you think I am innocent or not? "
"Liang Di is naturally innocent."
Gu Yue sneered, "Of course I'm innocent. I'm also pregnant, but no one has cared about me for such a long time in this courtyard. But Gu Jiu can get everyone's blessings and attention. Why?"
Grape crawled on the ground, not even daring to raise his head.
She still retained a little bit of her own thoughts in her heart.
She wanted to say that just because Gu was the imperial wife and Gu Yue was only a concubine of the prince's mansion, Gu Jiu could get everyone's blessings.
No matter how good a concubine is, she is still a concubine.
No one would bless a concubine to be pregnant. Isn't that a slap in the face to the original wife?
This path was chosen by Gu Yue herself. She had to be aware of this when she was carried into the palace.
There is no harm without comparison.
With the comparison, I feel that I don’t deserve to live in this world. The gap is too big and too stimulating.
They both have the surname Gu, are both legitimate daughters, and are sisters. But in just a few years, the gap between them is already so huge. Isn't this irritating?
Gu Yue was filled with anger, but helpless.
Not to mention causing trouble for Gu Jiu, she couldn't even leave the palace.
At the princess's command, the doorwoman didn't care whether she was a concubine or not and just drove her away.
Want to leave the house? Just dreaming.
Unless she has the ability to gain the favor of the King of Chu and get the King of Chu to support her, she will be qualified to compete with the princess.
But above the princess is the Dowager Consort Sun.
Gu Yue, this road is not easy to walk.
She cried!
I felt so wronged that I cried.
She suddenly realized that the gap between herself and Gu Jiu was like a chasm.
How much effort does she have to put in to fill this gap?
It was obvious that when they were at her mother's house, they were sisters, they were equally matched, and there was no gap between them at all.
No, there is a gap between her and Gu Jiu.
At the beginning, she was the proud third daughter of the Gu family, loved by her parents, and she was far better than Gu Jiu.
At some point, Gu Jiu quietly caught up with her, closing the gap between them. Then, without making a sound, he secretly distanced himself from her.
It seemed that everything was destined from the moment their marriage was decided.
The sisters clearly had the same starting point, but in just a few years, the gap between them was so obvious. What went wrong?
Gu Yue had cried enough. She wiped her tears and asked her maid Grape, "Am I beautiful?"
Grape nodded, "Liang Di is very beautiful, even when she is pregnant."
This is the truth.
All the members of the Gu family, regardless of gender, legitimate or illegitimate, have good looks.
In today's terms, it was a good-looking family.
Gu Yue asked again: "Am I smart?"
Grape said sincerely, "Smart." More than smart, she is extremely shrewd and powerful.
"I'm beautiful, smart, and come from a good family. Why do you think I've fallen to this point? Why am I inferior to Gu Jiu in every way?"
Grape opened his mouth but didn't dare to speak.
"Speak! I want to hear the truth."
Grape said cautiously, "I think Liang Di always makes the wrong choice at critical moments."
The first mistake was to choose Zhao Erlang from Haixibo Mansion, and he reaped the consequences.
The second time I made a mistake, I chose the King of Chu. As for the ending, we will have to wait a few more years to see.
Gu Yue's expression twisted. "Are you saying I'm stupid and chose the wrong path?"
"That's not what the servant meant."
"What do you mean?"
"Your servant, your servant, I want to say that marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. If Liangdi had listened to the arrangements of the master and the mistress, she would be the mistress of the house now, with unlimited glory."
Bang!
A slap hit Grape hard on the face.
She pointed at the grapes and said, "How dare you laugh at me? Get out!"
Grape ran out as if he had been pardoned.
Gu Yue was crazy and wanted to destroy everything.
Then she didn't dare.
If she dared to smash any of the decorations in the room, the princess would deduct money from her monthly salary without mercy.
She had limited money on her and she didn't dare joke with her own money.
I endured it and finally managed to hold it in.
She sat slumped.
In her dreams at midnight, she also thought about this question: Did she really make the wrong choice?
If she had followed the arrangements of the master and the mistress, would she really have found a good marriage?
It's hard to say.
But he will definitely be able to perfectly avoid the scumbag Zhao Erlang from Haixibo Mansion.
If she hadn't married Zhao Erlang, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
"hehe……"
It turns out that it was really a wrong choice.
Bang!
Gu Yue slapped herself hard.
You have to admit, she's a ruthless person. She's ruthless to others and to herself.
"Since I've already made a mistake, I might as well make it all the way. Can things get any worse than they are now?"
Gu Yue gritted her teeth and encouraged herself. She was determined to go all the way.
In fact, the truth is that Gu Yue has no way back.
From the moment she got on the sedan chair and was carried into the palace, there was no turning back.
If you become the King of Chu’s woman, even if you die, you must become the King of Chu’s ghost.
…
Gu Ting was beaten.
He was beaten up by his father, Lord Gu.
Lord Gu was almost angry to death.
"Treason!"
Agreeing to Gu Ting's joining the army was already Lord Gu's bottom line of tolerance.
As a result, Gu Ting quietly submitted a report and took the initiative to apply for a rotation to the northwest.
Not only did he change guard, he also took the initiative to apply to join the unit with the heaviest casualties.
Are you tired of living?
The troops that suffered the heaviest casualties would not hide on the city walls and shoot arrows. They would only fight the enemy with bayonets in the fields, with white knives in and red knives out.
This unit is truly in a life-or-death situation.
"How many lives do you have? Why do you insist on serving under the Marquis of Lu? You want to die, and I will grant you your wish."
Lord Gu picked up a stick and hit Gu Ting.
Gu Ting dodged around the yard. "I decide my own life. My name is already on the list. Don't try to stop me."
Lord Gu was heartbroken. How could he give birth to such a rebellious son like Gu Ting?
The third young master of the Gu family didn't want to be a good person, but insisted on going to the border to fight, and even called it making great achievements.
What a shitty achievement, what a shitty career.
If you have lost your life, how can you achieve anything?
"Do you think war is a joke? Childish!"
"I'm not naive. I've been prepared for this. These past two years of training have been all preparation for going to the northwest and serving under the Marquis of Lu."
Gu Ting stiffened his neck, refused to give in, and directly confronted Lord Gu.
Lord Gu was almost angry to death.
From this, it can be seen that Gu Ting must be a die-hard fan of Lu Hou Pei Ren. His admiration for Lu Hou is like a torrent of water that never stops.
Gu Yan learned the news and arrived in time to stop Lord Gu.
"Father, calm down. Now that things have come to this, why don't you think about how to make arrangements for Third Brother so that he can directly receive an easy and convenient job when he arrives in the northwest."
"You are not allowed to do anything for me. How can I achieve anything if I get an easy job?" How can I support my sister?
Gu Ting didn't appreciate it at all, and Gu Cheng was so angry that he laughed.
He found that Gu Ting was a stubborn person. Once he made up his mind, no one could change it.
If he wants to serve under the Duke of Lu, he must go.
He was going to go after the unit with the heaviest casualties, and no one could stop him.
A stubborn person can sometimes really make the people around him angry to death.
Because even if you talk your mouth off, you can't change their decision.
At this moment, Gu Yan was very depressed.
Gu Jiu also specifically asked him to help Gu Ting.
But with Gu Ting’s attitude, how could he help?
Lord Gu was both depressed and tired.
To have such a son must have been a sin in a previous life. Gu Ting is what is commonly known as a debt collector.
Lord Gu threw the stick away and said, "Since you won't listen to anything I say, you are seeking death yourself. I will not stop you."
Gu Ting smiled happily, "Thank you, father, for your help."
"roll!"
Is Master Gu helping others? Master Gu is just abandoning himself because he is too lazy to care about things because he can’t.
If Lord Gu had met Gu Ting, he would probably have lived five years less.
Gu Ting laughed out loud.
He didn't care about other people's attitudes, he just knew that no one could stop him. So happy!
On the day Gu Ting returned to the military camp to report, Gu Jiu personally saw him off and brought half a car of luggage.
If it weren't for the inconvenience of the journey, Gu Jiu could prepare a car full of luggage for Gu Ting.
The luggage contained shoes, socks, clothes, cotton-padded jackets, various prepared high-quality wound medicines, medicinal herbs, prescriptions, and various dry food, enough to last for ten days and half a month. There was also three thousand taels of silver notes.
Gu Ting opened his mouth wide, "So many!"
Gu Jiu glared at him and said sternly, "This is the luggage we have reduced again and again, you are not allowed to throw away any piece.
I want Li Chuan. I'll send him to the northwest, and he'll work for Nanny Gui. Every month, he'll accompany Huang Zhuo to the military camp to visit you. If you need anything, tell Li Chuan and he'll take care of it for you.
When the weather gets colder, I'll send you cotton clothes and shoes. These wound medicines were personally prepared by me and are highly effective. Keep them with you to protect your life.
These prescriptions are all for saving lives. This one is for fever after injury, this one is for wound infection, this one is for post-injury recuperation, and the last one is for strengthening muscles and bones. You get one of these prescriptions, and Li Chuan gets one too, just in case. Don't worry about the herbs; I've already sent someone to the northwest to prepare them..."
Gu Jiu said a lot. She was afraid that Gu Ting would forget, so she wrote down various precautions on kraft paper and gave them to Gu Ting for safekeeping.
Gu Ting kept smiling, completely changing his previous playful and aggressive appearance. He seemed particularly patient and gentle.
As he listened to Gu Jiu's nagging, his heart seemed to be filled with something warm.
He secretly thought, "It's great to have a sister. Except for not being able to fight on the battlefield for me, she has thought of everything for me. I must be the happiest brother in the world."
Gu Jiu looked at his silly look and snorted coldly, "Brother, I said so much, did you remember it?"
Gu Ting nodded repeatedly, "Remember, remember everything."
"Then let me ask you, what is the medicine in this white porcelain bottle used for?"
What is it used for?
Gu Ting was confused.
He chuckled, "I was distracted just now. Didn't you write it all down? I promise to remember it all."
Gu Jiu snorted, "You'd better remember that these critical moments can save your life."
Gu Ting nodded repeatedly, "I know. Sister, don't worry about me. As the saying goes, good people don't live long, but evil people leave a thousand years. A evil person like me is guaranteed to survive."
Gu Jiu covered his face, unable to bear to look.
No one would say that he is a disaster.
Brother, could you please stop being so stupid?
Gu Ting felt pretty good about himself. "Sister, you see how self-aware I am. On the battlefield, I will definitely pick on the weak. If I can't win, I will definitely use my wits to defeat them."
Gu Jiu's mouth twitched, and she wanted to ask: Are you smart?
"Brother, take care on your journey and make sure you return safely and intact."
She couldn't bear to see her brother with broken arms and legs, and couldn't bear to see him spend the rest of his life in inferiority.
She hoped that he would always be that proud and cocky brother.
Gu Ting felt a little embarrassed and patted his head. "Sister, I couldn't make it back when my nephew was born. This is for you. It's a gift I prepared in advance for my nephew."
Gu Ting took out a wooden carving of a horse and a child.
Gu Jiu was delighted to see it, "Is this carved by my brother himself?"
Gu Ting nodded, "I carved every single one of them myself."
Gu Jiu held the wood carving and cherished it very much.
"I didn't expect my brother could carve."
Gu Ting chuckled, "I was bored in the military camp, so I learned carving. I didn't expect I had this talent."
So you are fat and you are really out of breath.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "When the child is born, I will tell him that this is a gift carved by his uncle himself. It is more precious than any other gift."
Gu Ting waved his hand, "Don't say that. A piece of wood is not worth much. Next time I will find a piece of red wood and carve a better gift for my nephew."
"Then it's settled. When the child turns one, the gift from his brother must be delivered."
This is the agreement between the brother and sister.
Brother, you must live and live well.
Every birthday of your child looks forward to receiving a gift from you.
