After retiring, I saved the crazy prince

Chapter 31 Beaten Up
"The elder brother has always been the support of the younger sister."

Qi Jiuzhu leaned on Qi Shao's shoulder, her nose was a little sore, it would have been nice if Auntie was still there, as a family together, it would be bitter and not afraid of being tired.

"No, when I went back to the front hall, I didn't see my brother either. Could it be that my brother has taken a fancy to a certain lady at the table, and spent time with her and went to talk about love?"

Qi Shao's face turned red, and he lightly pinched the tip of her nose, "I think you are getting more and more courageous, and dare to make fun of your brother, see if I won't teach you a lesson."

Qi Jiuzhu quickly ran away and hid behind Qi Hui, "Hui'er, quickly block my brother for me."

Qi Hui patted his small chest, "Don't worry, sister, Hui'er will protect sister. Brother, don't come here."

Qi Hui's back was straight, and he spoke and acted like a little adult. He didn't look like he was hiding behind an adult when he was in Liuxiangyuan, and he looked cowering. Come out laughing.

At nightfall, Qi Shao patrolled the palace at night as usual, and walked outside Zhaoming Palace without knowing it, and the sound of silk and bamboo in Zhaoming Palace could be heard endlessly.

Several men in elegant clothes ran out laughing, and then that familiar figure chased after him. Wei Xiyue, with bare feet and long hair hanging loose, and a thin white silk gauze covering her eyes, she laughed and chased after him. Those men in hiding.

Those men hooked their fingers at Wei Xiyue and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I am here, come and chase me!"

Wei Xiyue reached out to the man and chased after him.

Perhaps it was because the marble floor was too slippery, she fell forward while chasing, the man in green clothes grabbed her waist, Wei Xiyue grabbed the crescent-shaped jade pendant around his waist, pulled off the blindfold strips of cloth.

"I got you!"

She stepped forward and lightly hooked the jade belt around the man's waist, "It's you tonight."

The man picked her up and carried her back to the bedroom.

Witnessing all this, Qi Shao felt that something was broken in his heart. He turned around and silently returned to the side hall where Jin Wuwei was. For some reason, he felt a little stuffy in his heart, as if his heart was being held tightly by someone. , uncomfortable tight.

The man in green took Wei Xiyue back to the bedroom, put her on the bed, knelt on the ground again, put her beautiful jade feet in the silver basin, gently washed off the dust on her feet, and helped her Gently massage the soles of your feet.

"Your Highness, let Zichu stay to serve you tonight, okay?"

Wei Xiyue lightly closed her eyes, but did not answer, and let him gently press her.

Xu Zichu was bold enough to bend down to kiss her lips, but before touching her lips, she suddenly opened her eyes, "Zichu, the fragrance on your body makes me lose all interest tonight."

Xu Zichu quickly knelt down, he just wanted to imitate that man's clothes and attire, and wanted to please the princess.

The world said that the princess was absurd, that she raised male pets and made the palace dirty, but who could know the pain in the princess' heart.

Only he knew that the princess would keep them in Zhaoming Palace, but only as a substitute for that person.

"Back off! You are not brother Zhanglan, no matter how much you look like you are not him, and he has already abandoned me forever, and will never come back to look at me again."

Xu Zichu had no choice but to bow and back out.

Wei Xiyue took a few sips from the jug in her hand, threw the silver jug ​​in her hand on the ground, and murmured: "It's all a lie, I don't believe you anymore, you leave, you don't want me anymore , some people are willing to accompany me, all of them are devoted to this princess, and none of them are better than you."

She laughed, her face covered with tears.

……

Today is the day that Gu Yan agreed to come to the door. It stands to reason that Gu Yan will be called by Qi Shang to the front hall for questioning, and then Qi Jiuzhu will be called to go. If everything goes well, Gu Yan can go back to prepare for the engagement after his father nods. First, the matchmaker will come and hire, and then there will be three books and six ceremonies, and then the marriage can be prepared.

As usual, she got up early, had breakfast with Qi Hui, and then waited for Gu Yan to come in Yangui Courtyard.

From Gu Yan's visit today until the matchmaker chooses a date to come to propose marriage, it will take a few more days. She hopes that her cousin can shorten the time to propose marriage, so as not to be manipulated by the mother and daughter in Liuxiangyuan.

As long as this marriage is settled, she can breathe a sigh of relief, and find a chance to deal with Liuxiangyuan slowly in the future.

Qi Shao went back home early in the morning, and saw the Gu family's carriage parked in front of the door from a distance, and then remembered that today was the day when Gu Yan and his sister agreed to visit the house. He thought that Gu's family and the county lord Qiongyu got married, so he would not come again up.

Still struggling to figure out how to speak to my sister.

He was already in a bad mood, but when he saw Gu Yan, he became even more furious.

He took three steps at a time and hurried forward. Before Gu Yan got out of the carriage, he grabbed his skirt and dragged him out of the carriage.

"Well, you are a heartless and heartless man! Since you have already planned to marry the county magistrate Qiongyu, you still dare to come here. Since you came to your door today, don't blame me for being rude to you."

He raised his fist and punched Gu Yan in the face. Gu Yan received a punch, and his right eye suddenly became red, swollen and blue.

Although Gu Yan is a weak scholar, if he turned his head to avoid it, he would not have been beaten so hard, but he felt that he was ashamed of Qi Jiuzhu, so he took this punch, "Cousin, please listen to my explanation. "

"Why don't you hide?"

Qi Shao used all his strength for this punch, but when the punch continued, Gu Yan's face was like a crown of jade, leaving a thick bruise on his handsome face, but he was not annoyed, and still smiled gently at Qi Shao. Shao bowed and saluted, "Cousin, please let me see Jiuzhu, I want to say a few words to my cousin."

"What else do you have to say? Is it a fake marriage between the Qiongyu county lord and your Gu family? Or is it that the high-ranking county lord is not interested in you?"

Gu Yan was at a loss for words for a moment, but he didn't know how to tell for himself. The fact that Qiongyu wanted to marry him was also a disaster for him.

He had never met the county lord Qiongyu before, and he didn't know why she wanted to marry him.

When he returned home from school last night, his grandfather called him into the Gu family ancestral hall and told him the good news. He said that the crown prince was very fond of his talent and appreciated him quite a lot. Wife, this is a supreme honor for the entire Gu family.

The Gu family's family has been in decline, and it's not easy to hold on until now. He is the most competitive among the descendants of the Gu family. He passed high school at a young age. With his talent, he will definitely be among the top three in high school in the future.

But Chujun took a fancy to him and relied on him so much that after he married the county lord Qiongyu, he was asked to go to Yunnan for three years as an aide to the prince.

Three years later, the prince promised that he would definitely use him again, and that he would enter the cabinet and assist the prince in the future, and he would have a bright future.

When his grandfather said these words to him, he had already stayed where he was. He was just a concubine who ranked fourth in the Gu family. Studying was his only way out. Good day.

He also repeatedly confirmed to his grandfather whether he had heard it wrong.

Gu Yan and Jiuzhu are childhood sweethearts, they grew up together, but Jiuzhu had a marriage contract since childhood, and the other party is the son of the general of Zhenguo, his and Lu Mingtan's identities are very different, at that time he just He can hide his feelings for Jiuzhu in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the General Zhen Guo's mansion suddenly resigned, and his mother also wanted Jiu Zhu to be his wife. After he got the news, he was even more delighted, and hurriedly urged his mother to make an appointment as soon as possible. Today he officially came to the house to discuss with the Qi family Regarding the matter of getting married, I didn't expect that bad news would come from the sky, and the prince would propose marriage for him.

Before leaving, his grandfather patted him on the shoulder, "Yan'er, you won't let grandfather down, will you?"

Grandfather is over eighty years old, his beard and hair are all white, his body is hunched, and he has worked hard for the Gu family all his life. He looked at him with such hopeful eyes, and Gu Yan was speechless for a moment. All the words were stuck in his throat. Looking at his grandfather's eyes full of expectations, he could only swallow all the words in his heart.
