Gu An was quite surprised to hear this. It seemed that the emperor really liked Jiang Yi very much. Not only could he not tolerate his attention to Jiang Yi, he even wanted to make Jiang Yi's seemingly stupid brother a marquis.
You have to know that even with his background and the title of third place in the imperial examination, he still had to start from a small official and work his way up step by step.
"How is it, Gu Qing, do you feel embarrassed?" asked the emperor.
Gu An hurriedly said, "It's not difficult."
The emperor said, "I thought that because Gu Qing was born in the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, he had an instinctive dislike for Xiaoyi's younger brother, which is why he resisted the mission I gave you."
"Actually, if you think about it, you're not wrong."
"I remember when Cheng first married into the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, before she even mentioned her firstborn child, the old lady of the mansion was the first to speak out, saying she would absolutely not accept Cheng taking Xiaoyi and her brother into her family."
"You were raised by the old lady, so it's normal for you to have an instinctive resistance to Xiaoyi and her brother. If you really don't want to, I will never force you."
Gu An felt that the emperor's remarks were extremely nonsensical. When did he say that he was unwilling?
His grandmother has been dead for several years. How did the emperor know about the Gu family's affairs?
"Your Majesty has misunderstood me." Gu An said.
The emperor then said, "Don't force yourself."
Gu An didn't know what to say.
"I see that you don't look too happy. It seems that you really don't like me making Xiaoyi's brother a marquis. Never mind. Go away. I'll let someone else do this.
Gu An: “…”
Gu An went down with an expressionless face.
He roughly realized why the emperor said that. The emperor said it on purpose for Jiang Yi to hear.
It is really despicable that the supreme ruler uses such despicable means!
Would Jiang Yi misunderstand?
Unlike Gu An's resentment, Pei Siliang was very happy.
His face was always cold and never smiled, but now it was tinged with a clear smile.
Eunuch Li had watched the emperor grow up, and seeing him happy, he felt happy too. He glanced at Gu An's back and said, "This young Master Gu seems to have some feelings for our queen."
He had just seen it clearly from the side. Lord Gu clenched his fists tightly as he listened to the movements of the Emperor and the Empress.
Most people would just feel embarrassed.
When thinking about the emperor's attitude towards Gu An, Eunuch Li felt that he had an epiphany.
Pei Siliang said, "I'm not afraid that he has no thoughts, I'm just afraid that his thoughts are too shallow."
He saw all the little actions that Marquis Wu'an made in private.
How can I allow others to sleep soundly on the king’s bed?
Marquis Wu'an held on to the military power and openly entered and left the Empress Dowager's bedroom. His thoughts were almost shown on his face.
He could not tolerate Marquis Wu'an, let alone his son.
Pei Siliang lowered his eyes, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
After reviewing some memorials, Pei Siliang returned to the bedroom. Jiang Yi was lying on the couch with her little face buried in the quilt. Hearing the noise, she looked up and glanced at him quietly.
Pei Siliang quickened his pace. He sat down beside the couch, put his big hand on her head, and lingered on her neck.
"What's wrong? Xiaoyi just looked like a woman who resented her husband's death in spring. I felt that I had tried my best, but I still couldn't satisfy Xiaoyi."
Jiang Yi turned her head and bit his hand.
Her breath was cool and her teeth were small, which left a small string of teeth marks on the back of the emperor's hand, making her look very cute.
Pei Siliang's already deep eyes became even darker.
"Are your teeth itching? Let me take a look."
He inserted his index finger into her lips and swirled it gently.
Jiang Yi showed no mercy this time and bit him hard.
Pei Siliang felt pain and naturally retreated.
"Are you really angry?"
"Your Majesty is still saying that you knew there was someone outside, yet you still embarrassed me."
"You've thrown away all my people!"
Her face flushed, obviously angry.
Pei Siliang smiled and said, "It's okay, no one dares to laugh at you."
"Aren't you laughing at me?"
"I'm ignoring you!"
Jiang Yi turned her back, revealing her small back of the head. Pei Siliang thought Jiang Yi's back of the head was so cute.
He changed his mind, took off his boots, climbed onto the couch again, and slept opposite Jiang Yi. He held Jiang Yi in his arms, resting his chin on her head. His breathing became noticeably heavier. He said, "Xiaoyi, I want you again."
Jiang Yi: "It's daytime."
"It was daytime just now." He looked like he was in a bad mood.
"Do you want to be a tyrant?" Jiang Yi teased him, "I heard that you used to be the most diligent in your work."
At that time, Pei Siliang put all his attention on political affairs and nothing else.
He was raised by the late emperor. Since he was ten years old, the late emperor has been taking him to handle government affairs.
"I didn't have you before, but now that I have you, it doesn't matter if I become a tyrant."
He added, "I was born for you."
He rubbed Jiang Yi's little face. Jiang Yi was still angry and didn't want to pay attention to him, but he was really good at rubbing her.
And she had to admit that the emperor's words just now really made her heart move.
He said he was born for her.
Although this was a bit exaggerated, she still felt sweet in her heart.
The emperor was the first and only person who treated her so well.
She said, "Brother Pei, I like you so much, even more than yesterday."
"I can eat whatever Xiaoyi likes, and it's okay to have more." He became more and more encouraged.
As we whisper to each other, the morning light returns again.
