Chapter 117: Accepting the Favor Euphemistically



She deliberately met the emperor on the way with Lan'er. The emperor's sedan happened to pass by and saw someone singing a ditty. In a trance, she seemed to hear Ying's voice.

"Little stool, who is that person in front?"

"In reply to the emperor, it seems that she is a newly selected concubine."

"Beautiful lady?" The emperor looked ahead in confusion. It was dark and he couldn't see clearly.

"That's right, Your Majesty. Yesterday, Consort Shu conferred titles on you to one Zhao Liangdi and one Gu Cairen."

After Xiaodeng finished speaking, he looked at the emperor's face. The emperor got off the sedan chair and walked curiously to the back of the garden. The singing voice of this beautiful girl was moving, melodious and bright, and he didn't know whose daughter she was.

"Who are you?" The emperor came behind Gu Junyao and saw her slender arms waving in the air. She was singing and dancing, just like a fairy descending from the sky.

"I didn't know your Majesty was here. I'm sorry for disturbing you. Please forgive me." Gu Junyao slowly turned her head and lowered her eyelids slightly, her face shy and embarrassed.

The emperor frowned and asked in confusion, "How do you know I am the emperor?" Gu Junyao looked up quietly, then flattened her lips and said, "The emperor is the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven is majestic without anger. I can feel it just by being close to me."

For some reason, even though he knew she was just trying to please him, he still felt that this woman had some merits. He walked up to her and held her hand tightly, and the two of them returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Xiao Dengzi looked at the two people's backs and squinted his eyes carefully. This girl looked so familiar. Wasn't she Miss Gu's sister?

The next morning, the news that the emperor favored Concubine Gu spread throughout the harem. Concubine Shu lazily raised her charming eyes, looked at Zi Yan and said, "What methods did Gu Junyao use to win the emperor's heart?"

"To answer your Majesty's question, I heard that this Lady Gu performed a good show in the backyard and charmed the Emperor. It seems that the daughter of the Gu family is indeed extraordinary."

A Gu Yunru and a Gu Junyao are indeed not simple people.

"Oh, I wonder how long this Gu Cairen can be so arrogant. Is there any news about Zi Luo?"

"Zi Luo hasn't sent any news back yet, so he must have died outside the Great Wall."

After hearing this, Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows slightly.

The scene turns to the outside of the Great Wall, where there is singing and dancing in the hall.

Gu Yunru listened to the music coming from the bells and drums in the hall and closed her eyes with an intoxicated look on her face.

"I didn't expect Miss Gu to be good at music?" Huck looked at her in surprise. What on earth was there about Miss Gu that he didn't know? "I know a little bit, but it's just some superficial knowledge that makes the prince laugh." Gu Yunru smiled shyly. It was the first time someone praised her for her knowledge of music. Her attainments in medicine were very high, but she couldn't say the same about music.

"This glass of wine is for you, young lady." Hake talked to her in a lively manner. This scene was also seen by King Bian Xi and Rong Zhen. King Bian Xi saw that Rong Zhen only had eyes for Miss Gu, so he raised the glass towards him.

"Prince Zhao's sister is just like Prince Zhao, with a generous personality."

No one knew the relationship between them. King Bianxi only vaguely heard that they were very close and mistakenly thought that they were brother and sister, so he said this.

Seeing that King Bian Xi had already picked up the wine glass, everything was in this glass of wine.

Rong Zhen has completely won over the King of Bianxi, and there will be no unrest or chaos on the border for the next three years.

"Hehe, Hake and Miss Gu actually get along so well. How about Miss Gu just stay here?" These words came from King Bian Xi's mouth. After spending these days together, King Bian Xi also likes Gu Yunru very much.

Looking at the light in his son's eyes, he thought that Gu Yunru must be his sweetheart, and there was nothing wrong with getting a daughter-in-law for free.

"no."

This sentence was said in unison by a man and a woman, Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen. When they looked at each other, they both looked away in embarrassment.

Gu Yunru moistened his throat and coughed lightly. He stood up and said, "Actually, I like Bianxi very much. The customs and habits of the people are very good. It's just that I grew up in the Central Plains, so I'm afraid I can't get used to it."

She could only smile perfunctorily. Although she liked the exotic customs, she could never get used to them.

"Ms. Gu, isn't there anyone or anything you like here?" Prince Huck has always been passionate and unrestrained, so he just said it directly and boldly. He was afraid that if he missed this opportunity again, he would not be able to see her next year.

"I like both you and the old king, and I have made many friends here. However, the prince and I came here to make peace between the two countries and stop the war. This will also benefit the people."

Rong Zhen breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and in order to prevent others from noticing the change in his expression, he drank a glass of wine to conceal his feelings.

"Miss Gu..." Huck lowered his eyelids in disappointment. He didn't expect that she didn't like him at all.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yunru blinked at him happily, thinking that Prince Hake and King Bianxi were simply reluctant to leave them, but she didn't expect Prince Hake to leave the hall with a melancholy face.

"Hey, why did you leave without saying a few words?" Gu Yunru looked at his back in confusion. Looking at Rong Zhen who looked somewhat smug opposite her, she sat down in confusion.

After the banquet in the hall was over, Gu Yunru returned to the room with a heavy face. Looking at Qingxing who walked in behind him, he said, "Qingxing, I didn't say anything wrong, why did the atmosphere suddenly become a little heavy?"

All the way she was thinking hard, wondering if she had said something wrong or if she had offended Huck, but she couldn't figure out what she had said wrong no matter how hard she racked her brains.

"Miss, everyone in the hall has seen that Prince Hak is interested in you. I didn't expect that..."

Even Qingxing could see it, how could others not see it? Only Gu Yunru sat in her seat stupidly, eating what she should eat and watching the performance, not caring about Prince Hake's mood at all.

"Is it true? Don't talk nonsense." Gu Yunru said to Qingxing with a serious face. Qingxing covered her mouth and said flatly: "But Miss, I didn't say anything nonsense. If you don't believe me, ask that maid Caiju."

Caiju was a night watch maid serving at the door. However, she could not speak the Central Plains dialect and could barely express her meaning. Unexpectedly, even an outsider could see that Prince Huck was interested in her.

"Oh no, oh no, did I miss something?" Gu Yunru sat on the bed with a look of collapse on her face, pounding her head. Qingxing held her hand worriedly and said, "Miss, you are not interested in Prince Hake too, are you?"

"Of course not. I treat him like a brother or sister. I don't have any improper thoughts towards him at all."

Thinking back to those few nights when they chatted together, she realized that they got along very well, but she never expected that Prince Huck would be interested in her.
