…
The prime minister was granted a marriage.
It is a marriage certificate that I personally requested.
Lin Gunian's white clothes are as white as snow, and his beauty is unique, there is no one like him in the world.
Countless girls in the capital secretly shed tears of longing in their boudoirs, and after just a few glances, they were deeply captivated and unable to extricate themselves...
When people heard that Lin Gunian was planning to get married, the threshold of the Lin family's house was almost broken by the people stepping on it.
Elder Lin sighed helplessly, "He said he was going to get married, but he hides in his study all day long... This isn't about getting married, this is clearly mourning... Fortunately, I'm in good health..."
When Old Lin opened the door of the study, he saw scrolls all over the floor. Who else could the stunning woman in the painting be but the current Princess Ning Zhao?
This feeling is clear at a glance.
Elder Lin's suspicions were confirmed. He sighed, "Gu Nian, I am Ning Zhao's tutor... I have never met a woman as smart as Ning Zhao. She has her own ideas... If you are interested in her... you should have told me earlier."
"You know Ning Zhao's feelings for you. She's been waiting for you for years. If you don't like her, just reject her... Don't waste her time..."
"What should I say? What should I say..."
Lin Gunian rubbed his forehead in pain and murmured to himself, "I want to tell her that I have taken care of her since she was a child..."
"That's easy. You two are not much different in age. No matter how you describe it, it's just a happy ending for childhood sweethearts... If you're afraid of the world's eyes, then Gu Nian has forgotten everything I've tried to tell him?"
"Father, you taught me to be an upright and honest gentleman since I was young..."
Lin Gunian's face turned even paler. "My son wants to be selfish just once, just this once... But I can't ruin Shushu's happiness..."
"I won't live more than ten years, Father."
"After I die, how will Shushu cope with herself... This dynasty has always been harsh on women, with many demands placed on them, especially their reputation... Although the grave can protect Shushu's lifelong glory... But how can Shushu endure those gossips that could kill ten thousand people? I can't bear it, and I don't want Shushu to end up in such a situation..."
"My son only wishes that Shushu will live a happy and healthy life."
In the moonlight, the tall, straight shadow was shrouded in mist.
Old Lin lamented, looking a dozen years older in an instant. "I have devoted my entire life to the well-being of the country and have carefully taught my son to be polite and chaste. Why are you so unkind to me, God? My son has been suffering from serious illnesses since he was a baby... Oh God... What did I do wrong? After taking away my first wife, I am now taking away my son's life..."
"Father, go to bed early."
Lin Gunian stared at the marigold that was slowly withering in the moonlight.
The wind was blowing, and snow flakes like broken jade fell one after another. The marigolds soon died in the snow.
The corners of his eyes gradually turned crimson, like rouge that was naturally applied.
The gentle and cold face suddenly became attractive.
The bright moon in the sky gradually dimmed, the swaying pool water and the distant shadows became blurred and disappeared...
He coughed twice.
Lin Gunian smiled bitterly.
For the first time, this usually kindhearted man felt resentful. Why was he given a crippled body, and then forced to fall heartbreakingly in love with someone... and forced to cruelly push her away, even though he was already riddled with wounds.
Why.
"Lin Gu Nian."
Lin Gunian suspected that he was hallucinating, otherwise... why would he hear Ning Zhao's voice?
She had always been heartless, so she wouldn't be upset by the news of his marriage... She would probably put it out of her mind quickly... That Chu Sui had a similar temperament to hers...
Ning Zhao always said Chu Sui was interesting, but he was old-fashioned and boring...
Lin Gunian felt sad.
"Lin Gunian! What are you doing? Come quickly, my shoes and socks are soaked by the snow! It's so cold..."
Lin Gunian looked over in disbelief, only to see Ban Shu tidying up her shoes and socks with a wronged look.
The haze in his heart was swept away.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Lin Gunian squeezed the snow water out of the socks, and held the girl's delicate feet tightly with his large and warm palms, trying to keep her warm.
He looked at Pan Shu sitting on the stone, serious and worried, "You can't wear shoes and socks anymore. It's too cold and you'll catch a cold if you go back. Be obedient... go to my room first. I have your usual clothes and socks in my room."
"Why do you always keep these? Keeping girls' clothes in your room isn't something a gentleman would do..."
Lin Gunian smiled helplessly, "Shushu, please don't make fun of me... If Shushu wasn't always so reckless and didn't know the coldness of the world... I wouldn't have kept a few pieces of clothing of your usual style in my carriage every day when I went to court..."
"You're definitely wrong... This is called a flower thief..."
Lin Gu bent his fingers slightly and gently touched Pan Shu's forehead. "Do you remember last month, when you went out of the palace to play in the snow... your clothes were all soaked. You're so delicate, how could you wear clothes from ordinary cloth shops? In the end, didn't you wear the clothes I prepared? And the month before last... last year... this year, it was the same."
"Come up, I'll carry you."
The man smiled and spoke softly in the moonlight.
Walked a short distance.
Pan Shu buried her face in the man's warm neck and said in a muffled voice, "You usually look pale, so I thought you were cold, even your heart was cold... But now I know that you are just pretending to be cold..."
"You are nice to everyone but not to me..."
"You take advantage of my liking for you and won't let me touch this or that..."
"Before, Chen Que rewarded you with a hairpin, and I thought you would definitely give it to me. I waited and waited... but I couldn't get that broken hairpin. I thought you were reluctant to give it to me... But, a few days later, I saw it on Anyang's bun... Everyone else praised her beauty and said... you liked Anyang. I even heard... they didn't like me. They said you couldn't like me even if you liked a pig..."
There was a small wet spot on Lin Gunian's neck.
He smiled slightly, and tried to speak gently so as not to scare her, "Who said that? Are there still people who gossip like this?"
"So who do you think is prettier, the pig... or me?"
Lin Gunian didn't find it funny at all. He carefully placed Ban Shu on the soft bed, looked into her eyes carefully, cherishing her and saying softly, "You are prettier than anyone else."
"Well, how does it compare to Anyang..." The little girl lowered her head and wiped her tears.
"Father has always liked Anyang and disliked me since she was a child. He said Anyang was well-behaved and virtuous, and all the nice things he said were about her... Everyone else also liked Anyang and disliked me... except Chen Que."
"You don't like me either...you like Anyang too..."
Lin Gunian explained softly, "His Majesty has reserved a portion of all his goodies for you. I wanted to give it to you, but then Anyang came over and said you already had one, and she didn't, so I just gave it to her... It's not what you think."
"She has nothing, and you're giving it to her? Before my father died, I had nothing, and Anyang has everything... Do you feel sorry for Anyang? But, Lin Gunian... before this, I had nothing either... I could only watch her dress up beautifully, with all kinds of beautiful clothes and jewelry, but I had nothing..."
