At night, Liu put out the candle and just closed her eyes when she felt a breeze blowing. Just as she was about to open her eyes, she saw a dark shadow standing at the head of the bed.
Liu was startled and was about to grope for the candlestick, but the man had already spoken, "It's me."
The candles went out, and the window was opened by the visitor. Liu could see the determined outline of the visitor in the moonlight. It was undoubtedly the Marquis Gu who had come during the day. Liu bit her lip. Logically, she should be angry, but she had not seen him for many days, and now she suddenly saw him again, she felt a different kind of emotion in her heart.
"It's the middle of the night, it's probably not appropriate for you to come."
"Whether it is suitable or not, you have to try it to know?"
Gu Yong was already impatient. If this was in the army, two men and women who fell in love would have done it several times. He pulled Liu over and carried her to the bed and started kissing her. Liu's small arms and legs naturally couldn't push him away. He kissed her for a while and she stopped struggling. Gu Yong thought she was willing to accept him.
When I was about to kiss her again, I tasted a salty teardrop.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Yong looked at the woman crying silently with her eyes closed, and felt a sudden rage in his heart, "You weren't like this before?" She was clearly not like this before?! How come he has become a pervert now!
Liu opened her eyes which were misty from crying, and seeing that his eyes were also red, she was no longer afraid.
After thinking for a moment, she simply leaned over to him and said, "I know that the Marquis has me in his heart. If the Marquis really wants me, I..." Liu couldn't say it, but she took off her coat. Gu Yong didn't understand what she was thinking. Why was she crying if she was willing? Liu knew what he meant, "I can be with the Marquis, but I don't want to enter the Marquis' Mansion. If the Marquis is annoyed with me in the future, just pretend that he has never seen me, okay?"
Liu said this hopefully. She felt that this was the best way to deal with it. Now she was still young and beautiful, and Gu Yong liked her. She asked him to let her go, but he refused. It would be better for them to be together for a while, and when he became indifferent in the future, they would naturally break up.
Liu thought it was a good idea, but she saw the man in front of her almost gnashing his teeth, "You woman, do you think this marquis is a prostitute?" What do you mean you don't want to enter the marquis's mansion? She followed him but didn't enter the marquis's mansion. Did she think he, Gu Yong, was a small official she recruited? Thinking of the special habits of the noble ladies of this dynasty, Gu Yong's face was dark for a while.
His face darkened, and Liu no longer showed any tenderness or affection, and she pushed him away.
Having done more business these days, she is no longer as soft as before, "I will never be a concubine again."
Gu Yong was stunned for a moment, "You want to be my legal wife?" Not to mention that she had been married before, even if she was a pure virgin, it was impossible for her to enter the Marquis' Mansion with her status. Liu knew this, so she never dreamed of becoming a Marquis's wife.
But now she didn't want to get entangled with Gu Yong anymore, so she nodded directly, "Yes, I don't want anyone to look down on me or bully me."
"Either you marry me as your legal wife, or we can just treat this as a fleeting romance. I will never be your concubine." Liu said resolutely.
Gu Yong, who had always been flattered by women, was humiliated by a woman for the first time in this way.
After a while, he got off the bed and put his clothes in order. "I see that you are not thinking clearly. I will come to find you when you are sober."
Normally, when something like this happens, most men would coax the woman, but Gu Hou always asked others to serve him. Although he liked Liu, he felt that Liu was too spoiled, so it would be better to ignore her for a while.
After all, as long as she calmed down, she would know that, considering her status, he had done his best to let her be his concubine, which was already a grace from him. Although he loved Liu, he had to let her understand some things, otherwise, she would just keep arguing with him in the future when she entered the mansion.
But Liu's heart gradually turned cold after he left. She didn't want to be a concubine before and still had some tender feelings towards Gu Yong, but his departure made Liu sober up. How could a man be reliable? He could still be affectionate with him in the tent some time ago.
Today, he can be cold to her just because she boasted that she would be his legal wife.
So why do women get married?
Having married the wrong man once, would she want to marry again? Liu's originally gentle eyebrows reflected the moonlight at night, and unexpectedly seemed a little hard.
——
"Cough cough..." Gu Yanwei pressed his handkerchief against his lips uncomfortably.
The queen at the side saw this and hurriedly said with concern: "Old Nine is not feeling well, why did you pour him cold wine? Quick, change a bowl of warm tea."
The children of the royal family have been attending various banquets since they were young, and they can drink at the age of six or seven. Moreover, Gu Yanwei will be eleven this year. He thanked the queen gently. As expected, the queen, who was always kind, showed reluctance, "Your Majesty, I see that Xiaojiu looks so unhappy. The banquet will last for more than an hour, and it will be cold in the second half of the night. Why don't you ask Xiaojiu to go back and rest first?"
Thinking that today was not a big festival, the emperor readily agreed, "The queen is thoughtful."
Gu Yanwei sighed inwardly and stood up from the banquet. The eunuch Chunxi who was serving beside him wrapped him in a thick and wide cloak and said, "Father, I will take my leave now."
Emperor Cheng Xi looked at his son who was sitting down. Although he was weak, he looked like an immortal at such a young age. He smiled like a kind father and said, "Take good care of yourself. I will come to see you in a few days."
Gu Yanwei bowed and was then helped away by the eunuch.
"What is your Highness doing? He's obviously feeling much better after taking the medicine... Such a banquet is a good time to show off!" Chunxi was indignant. He could see that His Highness had left the banquet on purpose! Gu Yanwei said, "It's annoying." He was annoyed when he saw those women competing for beauty.
"But Your Majesty..."
Gu Yanwei knew what Chunxi was worried about, "No, as long as my health is not good, he will never forget me." After saying that, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his lips again. Being in the vortex, no one is much cleaner than anyone else.
In a blink of an eye, he somehow thought of that strange little girl again... She was so strange, she said whatever she wanted to say and hit whenever she wanted to hit.
"Chunxi, return to the palace."
"twitter!"
At the other end of the palace banquet, the concubines accompanied the emperor to wait to see the ancient crabapple that had finally bloomed in the imperial garden. The prince sat quietly at the table, and Princess Changping, who was next to him, was holding a bright crabapple in her hand and smiling at her cousin, the prince. "I heard that my cousin was in a bad mood recently, so I learned a magic trick for him."
Prince Gu Tang turned his head. He had thick eyebrows and bright eyes, and looked very unrestrained and romantic.
"What magic trick?" The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and the charm of her appearance alone made Changping's heart beat wildly.
She held a crabapple flower in her hand and stared at Gu Tang with eyes wide open on purpose. She knew that she looked best when pretending to be innocent like this, "Cousin, please look carefully..." Then she gently swept the flower in her hand across Gu Tang's face. The moment the petals fell, the crabapple flower in Changping's hand disappeared, and a beautiful baby swallow was in her hand.
Now it is howling.
Gu Tang stretched out his fingers to tease the nipple, and then looked at his cousin's shy expression. It was Tang in his name, and it was a letter sent by wild geese. Should he accept his cousin's kindness or not? Gu Tang picked up the crabapple flower that Princess Changping had dropped from under the table, put it to his nose and smelled it. The man with a high nose and red lips was a picturesque scene. He looked at Changping with a charming smile, and Changping immediately lowered her head shyly, and tentatively pulled her cousin's hand.
"Look, it's the young lady from the Wang family!"
Gu Tang rolled up his sleeves slightly. Although Changping was a little embarrassed, there was still a hint of shyness on her face.
Wang Qingluo wore a pleated green skirt and a light-colored shawl on her upper body. She held a small and exquisite fan in her hand. The elegant thing was that the fan was painted with a beautiful woman catching butterflies among the wisteria flowers. Wang Qingluo showed off the new skills she had learned from Liu, turning the fan back and forth, and instantly became the focus of attention among the ladies in the room.
Even Gu Tang couldn't help but look there.
"Sister Wang, the prince is looking at you!"
"Really?" Wang Qingluo asked, but in her heart she was thinking, how could that bastard look at her? He might be having a hot relationship with that little bitch Changping. But when she turned around, Gu Tang was indeed looking at her with a smile.
"Lola, come here."
Calling Gu Tang made Luo'er feel so nauseous that she vomited her food for several days.
Wang Qingluo still walked over. Gu Tang looked his fiancée up and down, and his eyes fell on the beauty fan in her hand. The fan was embroidered intricately, and what was rare was the green feathers at the end of the fan, which made her look even more elegant when she played with it.
"Luo'er has learned the fan-twisting technique quite well. Can you show it to me again?"
Wang Qingluo was reluctant at first, but when she turned her head and saw Changping's fingers clenched together and turned red, she immediately smiled and squeezed over to sit next to the two of them, "Okay, I'll demonstrate it to Your Highness." Wang Qingluo demonstrated it again. Gu Tang was a frequent playboy, and he immediately played with the folding fan in his hand and turned it around.
The two of them did have something to talk about.
Wang Qingluo tried to talk to Gu Tang again, and Princess Changping tried to interrupt her several times but failed. Later, Gu Tang didn't even notice that she had left.
"hateful!"
After leaving the palace, Changping crushed Ruyan to death. The maidservant felt sorry for him and said, "Princess..."
"They are all useless." She originally wanted to send a letter to improve their relationship, but was snatched away by that bitch Wang Qingluo. "Go home! Find out who taught her the fan-turning technique!" Since the prince likes it, she will learn it too.
The maid glanced at the wet swallow on the ground and knelt down to say yes.
Not long after the two of them left, Wang Qingluo also came out from the side. She frowned at the scene just now. The maid said, "Princess Changping is usually gentle and kind. Why is she like this behind her back?"
"This woman is always good at pretending. Men just fall for it." Thinking about marrying the prince in the future and fighting with such a two-faced woman, Wang Qingluo was fed up, "Go home!"
