Dong Gong Mei

"His Royal Highness, tell me, how should I return to the position I should return to? What is the position I should return to? I am no longer who I used to be, so how can I keep everything the same!!"

She pointed at the man in front of her, eyes full of anger and pain: "Cousin, answer me!"

Since the day her family was demoted, she never called him cousin again.

The girl's ignorant affection was first born, but she was attacked by family interests and court politics, but even so, her heart was like a raging fire, and despite the wind from southeast to northwest, it never extinguished.

After four years of living in the frontier, the fire died little by little.

Until returning to Beijing again, the remaining warmth quickly lit another fire—this fire is called "Taste the Courage".

What she wants is no longer his love, but his power!

She doesn't care if he doesn't love her, as long as she can be his princess and share his prestige and status, even if he has someone in his heart, she doesn't care.

But now...he let her go back.

She paid so much... She almost sacrificed the innocence that a woman cares about most...

How could she still turn back? !

Li Xuanye shook the wine glass slowly, and said in a calm voice, "The He family was humiliated because of you, and the banquet in the palace was ruined because of you. How can you convince the crowd with such behavior?"

"Li Xuanye..." Gu Yuci's face was pale, and he took a few steps back, his eyes filled with disbelief, "What did you say? I can't convince everyone?"

"So I'm not worthy to be your princess, am I?"

"why?"

No one answered her.

Tears welled up in his eyes, but he gritted his teeth fiercely and forced them back.

She is the eldest lady of the Gu family, and the most stunning beauty in Chang'an City. She has read a lot of books since she was a child, and her eyes are higher than the top, and she thinks highly of herself.

She has experienced the glory of flowers and brocade, and also experienced the trough of desolation and loneliness.

When she was only a teenager, she had already become as strong as an iron wall. In the face of gossip and gossip, she dealt with it proudly, never knowing what humbleness was.

But, on this man, I can't ask for it again and again.

"For Zhao Xiwei, isn't it?" She smiled bitterly, and finally said the name that was not mentioned but also had a strong sense of presence, "You want to rekindle the old relationship with her, so kick me away, Yeah?"

Li Xuanye did not answer her.

He didn't look at her at all, he just stood up, "I'm thinking of everything today for the sake of my father, so I won't go into it. I hope you..." His tone paused, and finally he squinted at her, "It's good for you treasure."

The implication of this is to draw a clear line, and they will be irrelevant from now on.

Gu Yuci's heartstrings suddenly broke.

With one hand on the table, she raised her voice suddenly: "Li Xuanye! How is she better than me?"

She really hated her so much, and those inappropriate words that she could not bear to say on weekdays all came out in a sharp voice: "In terms of birth, the Gu family is a century-old family, in terms of status, the Gu family has been honored for generations, and in terms of blood, it is even the empress's family!"

"How can I, the dignified eldest daughter of the Gu family, be inferior to a country concubine?!"

Li Xuanye narrowed his eyes, and a trace of coolness emerged.

As a person who was raised as an emperor since he was a child, what he dislikes the most are the so-called "big family", "excellent family" and the like.

The empress dowager has been entrenched in the court for many years, and was finally uprooted. From then on, this world is only his Li family's world.

What kind of background and status, what kind of honorable royal relatives, are nothing more than falling flowers and flowing water.

As for Zhao Xiwei...

"Country concubine?" He chuckled softly, his eyes swept over the seat, "Where is Zhao Ziyi?"

Across the almost transparent gauze, a man left the table in response: "Your official is here."

Dressed in purple and crowned with gold, neat and tidy, it was Zhao Ziyi.

Li Xuanye didn't need to mention something, he flicked his sleeves and responded calmly: "The lower official has recognized Shen as Yuan's wife, and Zhao Xiwei is the eldest daughter of Zhao's first wife, so why did you say that?"

"what?!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Yunjiao broke out first: "Zhao Ziyi, what are you talking about?!"

The eldest princess also stood up: "Zhao Ziyi, you are presumptuous!"

"Zhao Ziyi——" Xu Yunjiao opened her eyes wide, and then she yelled, her abdomen hurt instantly, the pain of losing her child, and the anger of being cheated, all rushed up, making her internal organs almost explode, and then She screamed and cried: "I lost a child because of you, but you plan to make another woman your wife!! Then what am I?"

When Xu Yunjiao made a fuss, she didn't care about the situation and shame. The old lady rushed to grab her hand, but she was thrown away. She just hugged Zhao Chengyan next to her and started crying: "Zhao Ziyi, you are so cruel, Sister Yan Son, why are our mothers so miserable—"

The eldest princess's face was livid, she wanted to scold Zhao Ziyi more than anyone else at this moment, but she also knew better than anyone that this matter was probably ordered by the prince.

So he endured it again and again, until he couldn't bear it anymore, he covered Xu Yunjiao's mouth fiercely, and gritted his teeth at Zhao Ziyi: "Zhao Xuan, you are good! You are really good!"

"Does the eldest princess have anything to say?" The prince asked again calmly.

The eldest princess grabbed Xu Yunjiao who was struggling desperately, and her voice was almost full of blood: "I have nothing to say."

"That's very good." His Royal Highness just smiled faintly. He stood upright and looked around. When it landed on Zhao Xiwei's face, the boredom that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time was suddenly swept away, replaced by bright and cheerful.

He owed her a lot, and now, he can finally pay her back everything.

Identity, status, sincerity.He will give her everything without reservation or shyness.

Only in this way can he feel satisfied.

He is the crown prince, he holds great power, but he can't have a loved one, so what's the use of this power?Only by doing what others do not do, can we do what others cannot.If you want a country, you need a beauty, and this is not in vain at the peak of power.

Seeing that everyone was struck by lightning, knowing that they couldn't slow down for a while, they flicked their sleeves, said something to Gu Yu, and casually called, "Yuan Ce, send Miss Gu back to the mansion."

Hearing this sentence, Gu Yuci suddenly raised his head, is this going to drive her back home? !

She was about to refute, but Madam Gu pulled her hard: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

He gave a slight nod, and said again: "Mrs. Gu is a polite person, so I will give you a hundred taels of gold." After saying that, without looking at the crowd, he stepped up to attend, and left for the outer court.

One hundred taels of gold, this is for the Gu family!

The dignified Miss Gu lived in the East Palace before she could be granted a title, and she paid 100 taels of gold for it!

What a shame!

Gu Yuci pinched the palm of his hand hard, even though the blood was dripping, he didn't say a word.

"Respectfully send off His Royal Highness—" Everyone watched him step out of the courtyard, until the banquet was reopened, Fang woke up like a dream.

Everyone said how powerful the crown prince is, and today he has finally seen it thoroughly. The marriage bestowed by the emperor, if he said no, he would not, there was no room for change.

Zhao Xiwei suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Gu Yuci is the only daughter of Gu Yong, the only bargaining chip of the Gu family, and the most powerful supporter of the East Palace.The reason why the emperor chose Gu Yuci for his son was not necessarily out of long-term interests.

But Li Xuanye just refused.

Gu Yong's ups and downs, but still standing in the court, his strength can be seen.Being so cut off from the back, there must be some work in the open and in the dark.

No matter how calm Li Xuanye appeared on the surface, when he returned to the court, he had to face the entanglement of the Gu family's forces, and he might even be chased and scolded by the officials of Yushitai.

But he did it anyway.

It was said that he disowned his relatives, but for the sake of his brothers and sisters, he chose to be tolerant several times when faced with Pei Cairen's crimes.

It was said that he was heartless, but in order to reunite, facing her indifference, he chose to bow his head several times.

After all, you are young, even if you are tainted by power, you still have a youthful heart...
