Chapter 5
"Since that's the case, then the king will take his leave first and don't bother the county lord."
He suddenly threw a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in his hand into the lake in the courtyard, the sound was so abrupt that Liu Chanyi couldn't help but tremble in fear.
When Gu Zhang left, the crown prince looked at her worriedly, and said, "Xiaoya, I'll go to the emperor's uncle to explain later."
Liu Chanyi shook her head, bit her red lips lightly with her white teeth, and said, "No need, Brother Prince, that's it."
She looked deeply at Gu Zhang's tall back and said nothing more.
As for Gu Zhang, after returning home that night, he had a dream. In the dream, Liu Chanyi successfully became the princess, and he watched with a blank face, with severe pain in his heart that could not be ignored.
Gu Zhang struggled suddenly to wake up, only to realize that it was already daybreak, and when he touched his back, he found that his back was soaked in cold sweat.
The girl's smiling face was still lingering in his mind, and Gu Zhang was upset for a while, not knowing the meaning of this dream.
The maidservants waiting outside heard the commotion inside, lowered their heads and filed in one after another, silently waiting for Gu Zhang to get up and wash.
Gu Zhang put on his outer robe and was just about to eat when he heard someone knock on the door: "My lord, General Zhao Ru has a letter."
Because of Gu Zhang's order, the palace has always valued Zhao Ru's letter.
Zhao Ruxin only briefly described a few things in the army. Gu Zhang originally thought that he would be ecstatic when he received a letter from his sweetheart, but his mood was calm from beginning to end.
Today in Xiumu, he made an appointment with his friends to go hunting in the countryside, but when he was about to leave, he received a letter from the servants, saying that His Majesty intends to marry him and Liu Chanyi.
Gu Zhang stood up suddenly, his eyes were full of anger, he didn't understand what kind of tricks his brother was playing.
He ordered the chief follower to send a letter to his friend to temporarily cancel the hunting, and then rode his horse to the palace by himself.
"Brother Emperor!"
As soon as he walked to the front of the hall, he saw the emperor writing an imperial decree. Gu Zhang quickly stepped forward: "Brother, please don't!"
The emperor looked up at him, and threw the pen into the pen holder leisurely: "What's wrong, the male college should be married, and the female college should be married, and I will give you a marriage to hinder your Ninth Prince?"
Gu Zhang had no reason to talk to him about what he said.
The emperor said slowly: "Siblings came this morning and said that Xiaoya was sick last night, and kept calling your name. Sisters and siblings are only one daughter. I thought you don't have a princess, so I might as well give you a marriage." .”
Gu Zhang was silent for a moment.
He knew that Mrs. Liu was pregnant back then, but she had a miscarriage because of rescuing His Majesty who was still the prince, and it took several years before the old clam conceived the pearl and had Liu Chanyi.
"Brother Huang feels ashamed, and I know that." Gu Zhang tried hard to persuade, "But I already have my own heart, and there are many ways to repay my kindness."
"Besides, the Liu family has been favored constantly in recent years, that's enough."
The emperor gave him a deep look.
"You don't understand," the emperor turned his head and ordered the servant, "Go and get my jade seal."
"Brother Emperor!"
Gu Zhang was furious, he lifted his robe and knelt down straight: "I have a sweetheart for a long time, and I swear that I will not marry her in this life, please let the emperor do it. Emperor brother Mingjian."
At this moment in the inner hall, Liu Chanyi, Liu Mu and others were sitting behind the screen. After hearing Gu Zhang's words, Liu Mu looked at her daughter worriedly.
Liu Chanyi held her mother's hand, and she said softly: "Mum, don't worry too much, my daughter is fine. If the emperor doesn't like me, let it be. Since my daughter is the head of the county, she will have a lot of opportunities to choose slowly in the future."
Mother Liu sighed, and said comfortingly: "If you think so, Grandmother will be relieved."
Seeing that the conflict in the outer palace was getting bigger and bigger, Liu Chanyi also knew that it could not go on, otherwise it would be embarrassing Uncle Huang.
As soon as she got up and wanted to go around the screen, she heard Gu Zhang snort coldly and said, "Brother Huang, you may have made a mistake. The county lord may not think highly of me, a powerless prince."
Liu Chanyi paused on the spot.
I just heard Gu Zhang continue to say: "My brother was ordered to visit her in the Liu Mansion yesterday, but I saw the county lord and the prince hugging each other. Brother emperor, you have to ask clearly before you want to marry her. In case the county lord is not willing— —”
"You can make a pair of resentful couples."
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall.
Both Mrs. Liu and the Queen looked at Liu Chanyi at the same time, and Liu Chanyi was holding on to the screen, almost crumbling.
The contempt inside and out of Gu Zhang's words could not be more clear.
He despised himself.
Liu Chanyi held back her tears, she didn't show up for some reason, but hid behind the screen, hoping to hear what Gu Zhang would say.
Sure enough, Gu Zhang's tone was full of sarcasm, he said: "The county lord showed his heart to me the day before yesterday, but turned his head to embrace the prince yesterday. I, Gu Zhang, dare not want such a woman."
Gu Zhang didn't dare to ask for it.
Liu Chanyi was struck by lightning for a moment, she thought about countless ways the emperor's uncle would think of her, but she never thought that it would be like this.
"Snapped--"
The emperor threw the teacup on Gu Zhang's head heavily, and said angrily, "Gu Jianshan! Do you know what you are talking about?! Do you know that back then—"
"Uncle Huang!"
Liu Chanyi interrupted him suddenly, she walked around the screen, knelt on the ground, and said softly: "Uncle Huang, my servant is interested in Uncle Huang, but Uncle Huang already has a sweetheart in mind. A twisted melon is not sweet, please Uncle Huang completes Uncle Huang."
Gu Zhang looked at her in surprise, as if he didn't expect Liu Chanyi to speak for him.
The emperor looked troubled, and he heard Liu Chanyi continue: "The courtiers are young and ignorant, and it is common to mistake worship for admiration for a while."
"It's just that the minister's daughter and the prince's brother didn't give and receive privately," she raised her eyes, "it's that the minister's daughter is too sad, and the prince's brother is just comforting the minister's daughter."
Liu Chanyi turned around, her usually bright and beautiful apricot eyes were full of sadness, she took out a very old jade pendant from her sleeve.
She gently put the jade pendant on the ground in front of Gu Zhang, and said: "The emperor once saved my life, and left behind this jade pendant, which I have been wearing all these years."
She sniffed, and the appearance of the man in the dream wearing a wedding dress appeared in front of her eyes again in a trance.
Liu Chanyi was a little sad: "Uncle Huang probably won't remember, but it's okay. I'll return this jade pendant to Uncle Huang, and I will also return my love for Uncle Huang to you by the way."
Gu Zhang looked at the jade pendant. The jade pendant looked old, but it was still well preserved by the girl. He vaguely remembered that he had had this jade pendant when he was young.
Later, the jade pendant was lost, and he didn't ask again.
He is the emperor's brother and the most honorable prince in Yan. Does he want any jade pendants?
It's just that she doesn't want to, she still keeps it.
Tears welled up in Liu Chanyi's eyes again, she hated herself for crying at every turn, but just like what the prince brother said, this is her Liu Chanyi.
She glanced again at the man she had tossed and turned for him, and dreamed of him, then turned her head away, and said in a nasal voice: "From now on, we will be separated from each other, and I hope you will be happy."
She changed "each" to "may you", not only because they are not husband and wife, but also because she hopes that Gu Zhang and Zhao Ru can grow old together.
Even though Gu Zhang had spoken badly to her before, she was still willing to give her best wishes, not only because Gu Zhang had saved her, but also because this relationship had left her with the best memories.
Whether the dream is real or not is not important, what is important is that it awakened Liu Chanyi.
She wiped away her tears and thought nonchalantly: Just cry, anyway, she will never like Gu Zhang again in the future.
