Chapter 106 Proposal (End of Text) From this moment on,...

Ji Zhiyang is in the mansion? After recuperating for a month and a half, he couldn't bear it anymore and stayed in the mansion all day? He was almost going to get sick from being bored!

He wanted to go out for a walk, but Gu Huai wouldn't let him.

Ji Zhiyang begged, "Just let me go out for a walk! I'm fine now."

Gu Huai shook his head, his attitude was firm, there was no room for negotiation, "No, you haven't recovered yet."

Ji Zhiyang continued to beg, "I won't go far. I'll be back in an hour at most. The imperial physician also said that I'm recovering well..."

Gu Huai hit him? He interrupted him, "The doctor said that you need to rest for two months, not a day less." He stroked Ji Zhiyang's cheek and said in a gentle tone: "Be obedient, didn't you say you wanted to ride a horse? When you are better, I will take you to the suburbs? Ride a horse, okay?"

Rejected, Ji Zhiyang could only lower his head and nodded reluctantly, "Okay."

Gu Huai is stubborn sometimes. Even though the imperial physician said Ji Zhiyang is fine, he is still worried.

Ji Zhiyang looked at Jiang Wang's nervousness and caution towards himself, but was he really already in the mansion? He had been bored for too long. If Jiang Wang was here, maybe he could hear some interesting things, but he didn't know what he was busy with. He had only seen him once in a month.

He came and didn't stay long before leaving in a hurry.

Fortunately, Han Jingzhi would come to see him whenever he was free, which saved him from a lot of loneliness.

Gu hugged Ji Zhiyang, kissed his forehead, and said softly, "Are you hungry?"

"Not hungry." Ji Zhiyang complained, "I can't leave the house. All I do every day is eat and sleep. I'm almost like a pig."

Gu Huai pinched the tip of his nose, smiled indulgently, and said, "You are too thin, you should eat more." He grabbed Ji Zhiyang's hand, put it on his lips and kissed it, "I will accompany you to the courtyard to bask in the sun, okay?"

"No." Ji Zhiyang tightened his hand around his neck and buried his head in his shoulder, rubbing it, "It's too sunny."

It was the hottest time of the summer, and even in the afternoon the sun was blazing.

Ji Zhiyang didn't want to at all? Go out and feed the sun.

Seeing Ji Zhiyang acting like a spoiled child, Gu Huai hugged him tighter, lowered his head and kissed his forehead, "Okay, let's sit down and talk for a while."

Ji Zhiyang rested his chin on his shoulder and hummed lazily.

The two chatted for a while. Ji Zhiyang felt a little sleepy. His eyelids slowly drooped and he leaned on Gu Huai's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Huai laid him gently on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and gazed at his peaceful sleeping face with a gentle gaze. After a moment, he turned around and walked out of the room.

Ji Zhiyang slept for about a quarter of an hour and then woke up.

I wonder if it's because I've been staying at home for more than a month and it's been too boring that I've developed the habit of taking a nap.

He stretched his body and got out of bed.

As I walked to the door, I saw Gu Huai coming towards me with a bowl of noodles. "You must be hungry." He put the noodles on the table.

Ji Zhiyang was stunned for a moment, looking at the bowl of noodles awkwardly, "Did you cook it?"

Gu Huai smiled? Nodding, "Well, eat it while it's hot."

Ji Zhiyang sat down, stared at the bowl of noodles for a few seconds, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, then looked up at Gu Huai again, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

Looking at him, "How does it taste?"

Ji Zhiyang drank the tea and forced a smile. "It's just the same as always..." It was hard to swallow.

He did not utter the last four words. He felt that it was time to let Gu Huai know whether the food he cooked was edible. If he never told him, maybe he would be happy in the future and he could cook for him every day. Wouldn't he suffer more then?

He pushed the bowl in front of Gu Huai and said, "Take a bite too."

Gu Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked in confusion? He picked up the noodles and put them into his mouth?

Are the noodles cooked? They are cooked, and the taste is indescribable.

He chewed for a while with a frown on his face, then swallowed it down forcefully, resisting the urge to vomit.

So nasty!

He didn't even know that what he cooked was so unpalatable.

Gu Huai picked up the teacup and took a sip, slowly swallowing the bitterness in his throat, clenched his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, "I'll ask the chef to make another one."

I know what I made is not delicious, but I still don't give up? I tried several times, but all ended in failure.

Seeing him so persistent, Ji Zhiyang decided to teach him how to cook noodles himself.

Logically speaking, cooking noodles is the easiest thing, and no one should be able to do it, but Gu Huai failed several times in a row.

Finally, Ji Zhiyang came to a conclusion that some people are born to be rich and blessed, and are not suitable to work in the kitchen at all...

Han Jingzhi still went to the Four Princes' Mansion to find Ji Zhiyang when he was free. After many days of indirect persuasion, he finally determined Ji Zhiyang's preferences and ideas, and then developed a perfect proposal plan.

Ji Zhiyang discovered that Han Jingzhi, who had originally said he was going home, actually walked out of Gu Huai's study. After asking Yun Fu, he learned that Han Jingzhi had been staying in the study for a while almost every day these days.

Ji Zhiyang was curious, wondering when the relationship between the two became like this?

When he was going to bed at night, he couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

Gu Huai naturally would not tell him the truth, but simply explained casually: "I originally wanted to talk to Liao Yuan about something, but he was not available, so I asked Mr. Han to convey the message to him."

Ji Zhiyang said "oh" and stopped asking. When he was about to close his eyes and go to sleep, he suddenly thought of something and asked again: "Where is Ye Qingqing? Is she back?"

Gu Huai said: "No, she? She's still in Beili."

Ji Zhiyang was a little surprised. She was still in Beili? Didn't General Ye say he would bring her back? She wasn't coming back?

Seeing Ji Zhiyang's puzzled expression, Gu Huai explained, "General Ye changed his mind temporarily and decided not to take her in? She's back."

"Why?" If you didn't tell me before and didn't take her over, would she die?

"It seems that the new king of Beili married her?" Gu Huai said casually, "As for the specific reason, I am not sure."

Ji Zhiyang's eyes widened.

The son marries a stepmother?

Isn't this too absurd?

Gu Huai didn't notice his unusual expression and pecked his ear gently. "In a few days, when you can leave the house, I will take you to Tingfeng Lake. The scenery there is beautiful and you will definitely like it."

Ji Zhiyang rubbed his arms and said, "Okay."

The two chatted for a long time, and as the night deepened, they gradually fell asleep.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Ji Zhiyang felt as if something touched the tip of his nose.

He frowned, opened his eyes, and saw Gu Huai half leaning against his body, with one hand? On his philtrum?, as if to check his breathing.

Ji Zhiyang rubbed his eyes and asked, "Having a nightmare again?"

Gu Hui shook his head, lay down, and held him in his arms? He held him in his arms, "Did I wake you up?"

Ji Zhiyang put his face close to his chest, closed his eyes and murmured, "No? Yes."

Since he woke up from his last coma, Gu Huai has been having nightmares frequently. Several times, he felt someone was sniffing his breath in the middle of the night.

He knew that Gu Huai was frightened by him last time, so he always dreamed of such scenes and would wake up at the slightest disturbance.

…

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. Ji Zhiyang thought that after knowing that he was fine, Gu Huai would definitely pester him and not let him go out. But what happened? Gu Huai suddenly became busy. For five whole days, he went out early and came back late every day.

He felt vaguely that something was odd, but he couldn't tell exactly what it was.

Gu Huai was so busy that he had no time to rest? Ji Zhiyang was happy to be able to go out and relax because he had recovered. Occasionally he would go to Xianxianglou to have a drink with Han Jingzhi, and occasionally he would go out to buy some small items that the children liked.

On the morning of the sixth day, when Ji Zhiyang woke up, he found himself lying next to Gu Huai, who was sleeping soundly with his arms around his waist.

He was startled, then reached out his hand? and poked Gu Huai's cheek. Gu Huai grabbed his hand? and wrapped it in his palm? "Are you awake?"

Ji Zhiyang nodded, resting his head on his arm, "Are you not leaving the house today?"

He went out early a few days ago. He said he might be busy for a few days. I thought he was busy today too.

Gu Huai looked down at him and said softly, "I'll accompany you today. Didn't I say earlier that I would take you horseback riding and to Tingfeng Lake? Let's go today."

Ji Zhiyang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Really?"

Carefully doting? She pinched his nose and said, "Of course."

Ji Zhiyang asked urgently, "When are you going?"

Gu Huai said, "We'll set out after breakfast."

Ji Zhiyang was so happy that he got what he wanted. He got up and said, "Then hurry up and get dressed and wash up."

Gu Huai kissed his lips and pulled up the bed curtains, "Okay."

After they washed up and had breakfast, Gu Zhiyang, holding Ji Zhiyang's hand, left the palace. Seeing the carriage parked in front of the palace, Ji Zhiyang was slightly stunned, "Aren't we going on horseback?"

Gu Huai pulled him into the carriage, smiled softly, and said, "We'll ride on the horse when we come back."

"Oh." Ji Zhiyang responded obediently and got into the carriage.

Gu Huai sat beside him, perhaps fearing the bumps in the carriage, so he held his waist and protected him tightly, making him unusually quiet throughout the journey.

Ji Zhiyang just thought Gu Huai was a little strange. He usually flirted with him whenever he got the chance. What happened to him these days? He looked like a well-behaved, polite, and restrained gentleman?

Just like at this moment, sitting in the carriage, she just held his waist, other than that, there was no other movement.

The more Ji Zhiyang thought about it, the more strange it seemed. He simply turned his head to look at Gu Huai's expression and saw that he had a smile on his face, just like usual.

He looked away, thinking to himself, maybe he was thinking too much.

The carriage drove slowly for half an hour and finally arrived at Tingfeng Lake.

The summer sun is bright and shining, shining on the water, creating ripples. The lakeside is lined with green trees, and the shadows of the trees sway in the wind, as if dancing. It is very beautiful.

Ji Zhiyang couldn't help but exclaim, "The scenery here is really beautiful."

Gu held him and walked forward, smiling and asked, "Do you like it here?"

Ji Zhiyang nodded, "I like it."

Gu Huai and Ji Zhiyang were chatting and laughing? Laughing? As they walked forward, Ji Zhiyang noticed something was wrong.

The road was covered with flower petals, winding forward as if guiding him and Gu Huai.

Ji Zhiyang was slightly stunned. Was this the surprise that Gu Huai prepared for him?

He turned his head to look at Gu Huai, but Gu Huai held his hand tightly and led him forward step by step on the petals.

Ji Zhiyang stepped on the petals and felt as if he was in a sea of ​​flowers.

Gu Huai held Ji Zhiyang's hand tightly. Maybe it was because the weather was too hot or he was too nervous, his palm was already covered with sweat.

Ji Zhiyang's heart beat faster for unknown reasons, vaguely expecting something.

His eyes followed the trajectory of the petals, moving forward along their traces, and finally saw an empty place in front of him. There were a few people standing there. Looking closely, it seemed to be Han Jingzhi and his friends.

He walked forward for a distance before he realized that Yun Jin was there too.

They stood aside, all showing happiness and excitement on their faces.

Ji Zhiyang saw that roses were arranged in the shape of a heart in the center, and in front of the roses were five large characters written with petals, "I love you, Yangyang."

Want to? No need, he knew that this was Han Jingzhi's masterpiece.

He turned his head to look at Han Jingzhi, and saw Han Jingzhi winking at him, as if to take credit, as if to say, "How is it? It's surprising and romantic enough!"

Ji Zhiyang laughed? Old enough? So rustic!

He looked up at Gu Huai and saw that Gu Huai was still holding his hand, staring at him without blinking. That burning gaze seemed to melt him. His heart began to beat wildly. Although he had expected it, he still couldn't help being nervous at this moment.

He lowered his eyelids shyly, his heart filled with sweetness and happiness, even a little dizzy, as if he was in a dream.

Gu Huai let go of Ji Zhiyang's hand? She suddenly knelt down, looked up at Ji Zhiyang, and said with a little nervousness, but unable to hide her joy: "Yangyang, marry me."

He said, and took out a jade ring from his arms.

Ji Zhiyang was startled. Before he could speak, Han Jingzhi beside him hurriedly said, "One knee! One knee!" Are you going to the grave or are you preparing to become sworn brothers? ! He held his forehead with one hand, as if he was disappointed with his partner.

I worked so hard to prepare for so long, and you brought me to the heart of the rose? In the middle? Kneeling on the ground? Proposing! You kneel in the middle of the road? What does that mean?

Han Jingzhi simply couldn't understand it.

No matter how anxious you are, you won't be so anxious! It's just a few steps away. If I had known you would be so impatient, why would I have found such a good place and wasted my time and energy to arrange it?

It would be better to propose directly in the palace and go straight to the bridal chamber after the proposal!

Gu Huai knelt on one knee as he was told, holding up the jade ring and staring at Ji Zhiyang.

He had prepared a lot of things to say, but at this moment he didn't know what to say.

Ji Zhiyang also had the same feeling. He was nervous and anxious, but also very happy. He hesitated for a moment and slowly stretched out his left hand towards Gu Huai.

Gu Huai immediately held his hand? .

Han Jingzhi with one hand? He stood aside with his forehead in his hand, shaking his head.

It’s useless! It’s useless!

No words at all? Just a few words and you get straight to the point? ! What kind of marriage proposal is this?

Gu Huai held Ji Zhiyang's hand tightly, put the jade ring on his ring finger, raised his eyes and looked into Ji Zhiyang's eyes affectionately, "In the past few days, I have rehearsed today's scene countless times in my mind, and thought of many things to say to you, but at this moment I don't know what to say..."

He lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on Ji Zhiyang's back, then raised his eyes to look at him again and said seriously, "I have offered the entire palace as a betrothal gift, my heart as a gift, and I will give you a bridal tiara and formal marriage. I will never let you down in this life... Ji Zhiyang, are you willing to marry me?"

"I do."

Ji Zhiyang nodded heavily, "I am willing to marry you, and from now on, we will be together through life and death, and never leave each other."

Gu Huai stood up and held him in his arms. "Yes! In life or death, we will always be together, never leaving each other!"

He kissed Ji Zhiyang's lips, as if he had forgotten how many people were standing beside him, and where he was at the moment, and he was immersed in happiness. The sunlight sprinkled on their faces, making their figures kissing each other particularly beautiful.

Gu suddenly recalled that when he first met Ji Zhiyang, the weather was also as sunny as this one, and he also exuded a faint rose scent, like a summer breeze, refreshing.

However, from now on, this flower will be kept privately by him.
