Chapter 586 Guards
Yu Chan's heart was trembling. In his opinion, it was probably impossible?
What if the second princess didn't like it?
"If the second princess doesn't like him, let him fend for himself." In the emperor's view, this was like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh.
In the eyes of a man like the emperor, Chu Gu is not some fool. He probably just wants to marry the second princess.
After all, their family was already a ruined and impoverished family.
In Fengzao Palace, the Queen and the Second Princess were all stunned when they heard Chusi's words.
The second princess didn't react for a long time: "Who is Chu Gu?"
"He is courting death and ruining my reputation? Could it be that he is saying that I have feelings for him? And that we have secretly decided to spend our lives together?" The second princess jumped up.
The queen looked helplessly at her daughter who had read many storybooks.
"Yi'er."
The second princess had no choice but to sit down.
"That's not the case. Chu Gu only said that he wanted to marry the second princess and didn't say anything else." Chu Si said.
The second princess looked a little better: "Who is he?"
Chusi found it funny and thought that the princess didn’t even remember it.
So Chusi told the story of the second princess buying a rabbit that day.
"Ah? Him? Is he crazy? He wants to marry me with all his heart. It's over. Father will beat him to death." The second princess shook her head.
The queen looked at her and thought that this girl didn't have that idea.
"What the emperor means is, Princess, what do you think of this man?" Chusi asked again.
"I didn't see it clearly. I just remember that he was shy. Hi, I'll go over there." The second princess stood up and said, "Mother, I'll go over there and take a look."
"Go." The queen waved her hand.
At Taiji Palace, the second princess saw Chu Gu kneeling. She then took a closer look and found that he was quite good-looking.
But she was not upset. She came here to prevent her father from beating this man to death.
After all, he is a person who loves her, so his crime does not deserve the death penalty, right?
"Are you stupid? Even if you wanted to marry me, you should have told me first. Now you are bound to be beaten. You might even lose your official position." said the second princess.
"It's...it's wrong to say these things to...to the princess in private without the permission of our parents." Chu Gu stammered.
"...Fool. Okay, I'll plead for you, at least save your life. I don't like you, so you can choose another girl to marry in the future. Don't be so stubborn." said the second princess.
Chu Gu lowered his head and said for a long while: "Oh...thank...thank you, Princess."
The second princess thought to herself, this might be a stutterer.
I didn't care and went straight to Taiji Palace.
The emperor laughed when he heard her intention. "Really? I heard he's pretty good looking."
As for where he heard it, he remembered that Concubine Jing had said it, and he had even joked with her in a ambiguous way.
The second princess shook her head, her beautiful eyes clear and bright.
The emperor smiled and said, "Well, go back then. Your father will choose your marriage carefully and will definitely satisfy you."
The second princess blushed, "Yes, thank you, father. Then please listen to me and don't beat him up. Although I don't like him, I am still a little proud."
Qi Yixiu laughed: "Okay, let's go back."
The second princess had just left when the sixth prince arrived.
Qi Yixiu raised his eyebrows: "Yan'er is also here to plead for this Chu Gu?"
"No, no, no. He deserves to be beaten for coveting the princess. I'm just here to pick people up. If my father leaves him a breath, I'll be in need of guards." The Sixth Prince looked at the Emperor calmly.
"Why does Yan'er like him?" Qi Yixiu laughed again.
"He's good at martial arts. Although he's a little stupid, his skills are really good. As for being stupid, he will get better after being beaten, right? Father, please beat him as much as you want. I will definitely not stop you." said the Sixth Prince.
Qi Yixiu shook his head: "Then give him fifty strokes of the cane. Since your Sixth Prince is waiting to pick him up, don't beat him up. As for the official position, when he goes to Ruiqing Palace, he can only be a sixth-rank guard."
The highest guard serving the princes was of the sixth rank, and was considered the leader. The others were all of the sixth rank.
Chu Gu didn't know what was going on, and didn't struggle when he was pulled out.
His outer clothes were taken off at the place where the guards were beaten for making mistakes.
The executioner sighed: "Guard Chu is really a lucky man."
"Of course."
Chu Gu was dumb and didn't say anything, thinking to himself, I'm already like this, how can I still be blessed? I guess after the fight, I will have to leave the palace and go home to eat myself.
Fifty strokes of the board. Even though the executioners were careful not to hurt him, Chu Gu had never suffered such an injury before, and it was still very painful.
I was sweating all over after the fight and there was blood on my waist, abdomen and buttocks.
I could still stand, but I couldn't walk.
The Sixth Prince sent someone to take him to recuperate, but he refused to go out and stayed in Ruiqing Palace.
The main reason is that he has no one at home, his parents have passed away, and he only interacts with his uncle's family occasionally, but they are not very close after all.
The Sixth Prince came to see it in person and said bluntly: "He only received fifty strokes of the cane and nothing serious happened. Chu Gu, do you know why?"
"I don't know." Chu Gu was at a loss.
"Fool, I have told my father that I want you to be my guard. Since I have been asking for mercy for you in a roundabout way, I naturally didn't beat you up. But you can only start from the sixth rank and slowly rise up." said the Sixth Prince.
"Ah?" Chu Gu was at a loss, and after a while he said, "Oh, thank you very much, Your Highness. I will definitely go through fire and water for you in the future, even if I die."
"Tsk, you're too silly. If it weren't for your good martial arts skills, I wouldn't want you. Take good care of yourself and have the same three meals a day as my study partner. Someone will naturally apply medicine for you, and the imperial physician will be here soon. When you get better, teach me your skills first." The Sixth Prince said with disdain.
"Yes." Chu Gu had no objection. He could learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the imperial family.
Serving the emperor and the prince is the same.
"Don't think about the princess anymore. Let's talk about getting married in a few years. Wouldn't it be better to find someone gentle and kind?"
"Yes, I dare not." Chu Gu said shyly. He was a stupid guy, but he was also stupid enough to understand.
Since the second princess didn't have such an intention and he had misunderstood her, he would naturally not insist on it. Not only would he not insist on it in action, he would also give up psychologically.
The next afternoon, on the training ground, when Shen Qingling was alone with the Sixth Prince, he smiled and said, "Your Highness has a keen eye for talent. Chu Gu is a loyal man. Now that he has come to you, it is naturally the same."
"Hahaha, I just think he is a fool. But his martial arts skills should not be wasted. It turns out that my uncle also sees a lot of advantages in him, so I haven't lost out." The Sixth Prince laughed.
"Of course, Your Highness the Sixth Prince is smart." Shen Qingling said with a smile.
He often went to the palace to teach the princes martial arts, so he often saw the Sixth Prince.
To be honest, I have seen much more than Shen Qinghe and Shen Qingyang.
In addition to his personality, calling him the Sixth Prince was actually quite nice to him.
Shen Chuliu naturally knew about this matter and just laughed it off.
She thought that the child had grown up and knew what to do.
This Chu Gu is a good material to be a guard.
In a few years, the girl from a good family who is well-behaved will get married.
Chu Gu himself was not sad, just a little depressed.
Chu Gu: I lost my love.
Author: You will get a future you never imagined.
