Tyrant's First Favorite Concubine

Chapter 156

The general's residence continued to sing and sing for several days. Dozens of musicians and dancers came in and out, as if they were preparing for some important banquet.

Also on this day, all the famous princes in the imperial capital received invitations from General Zhengxi, including Xu Linan, the son of the current prime minister, Guo Ziliang, the commander of the imperial guards, and of course, the current prince Dongfang Shangyu. The list of invitations is full. More than ten people, these more than ten people are the veins of the entire imperial capital, and they are all young talents.

From the day Youtong gave Yu Li an identity, Gu Cenya accelerated the process of planning, he had to control everything in advance, otherwise, it would be a torment for both him and Yu Li.

However, Yu Li didn't understand.

She accepted the title of young lady of the Gu family just to avoid embarrassing Gu Cenya.

At this time, Yu Li was sitting lazily on the corridor in front of the house, the stream rushing through the bottom of her feet, which made her heart feel peaceful for a short time.

At this time, Zhu'er said: "Miss Yu, Miss Youtong is here."

Yu Li raised her eyes, and saw Youtong was wearing a light blue thin shirt and a simple and elegant white flower skirt. She was still as usual, with a light veil covering her face, only showing a pair of beautiful eyes.

Yu Li stood up and gave up her seat, and gave a slight salute.

You Tong didn't return the courtesy, and sat down on a chair by the fence, saying: "It's so hot, why are you still sitting outside the room?"

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhu'er who was beside him: "Go to the butler Rong and ask for some iced sour plum soup."

Pearl responded and walked to the front yard.

Only Yu Li and You Tong were left here, and it was very quiet for a while, after a long silence, Yu Li asked: "You send Zhu Er away, do you have something to say to me?"

Youtong stood up and asked instead of answering: "I see that you have reduced a lot when you came in. Why, are you dissatisfied with your current status?"

Yu Li stared at the stream under the corridor, and slowly said: "My identity doesn't matter, but what Yu Li is curious about is, what kind of identity will Miss Youtong live in the General's Mansion?"

You Tong was slightly startled, she originally thought that Yu Li was just a weak woman who came out of a big mansion, but unexpectedly, she was so fierce.

It seems that she underestimated her.

Youtong smiled, and those beautiful eyes became more charming, "Are you jealous of me?"

Yu Li's face darkened, and he didn't answer.

You Tong put away her smile and said: "If you are jealous of me, then you have found the wrong person, because a real mistress will come to this general's mansion soon, I don't know what Cen Ya can tell you Pass?"

A real hostess?

Yu Li was taken aback, and asked, "Is he going to get married?"

Youtong nodded, and said: "The emperor bestowed the marriage on the current Princess Jinhe."

Yu Li felt dizzy for a while, and the words "Jinhe Princess" echoed in her mind over and over again like echoes.

She clutched her chest to keep her heart from hurting so much.

This scene seemed to be expected by You Tong. She calmly approached Yu Li, approached her, and said, "If you really like Cen Ya, don't let him have any worries. Do you know that Jin and the princess are the current emperors?" If Cen Ya resists the marriage, she will die! Yu Li, do you want him to die?"

Yu Li looked up at You Tong, and murmured: "He said, he won't let me down, he said, told me to trust him, he said, he just needs a little time..."

"Shut up!" Youtong yelled coldly, "You should give up your heart! Some things have been destined since you were born!"

"Haha..." Yu Li suddenly laughed, she stood up, wanted to walk out of the corridor, wanted to go to Luanxi Pavilion, she wanted to go to Gu Cenya, and ask him which sentence he said was the truth.

Unexpectedly, Youtong pulled her back and shouted: "Are you going to find him? Do you know that you will kill him if you do this! You owed him in the first place, and your parents killed his whole family. Now, you even His only remaining life is also taken away?"

When Youtong said this, apart from anger, there was a trace of pain in his eyes, so red that he seemed to be about to shed tears.

Yu Li turned around, with nothing but despair on her face.

Perhaps, as Youtong said, her and Gu Cenya's fate was predetermined since birth. She is the daughter of his enemy, so she will always owe him and can never fight for anything.

With a smile in her eyes and a hoarse voice, Yu Li asked, "Don't you love him too? Why are you so calm about him getting married?"

You Tong let go of Yu Li, and suddenly she leaned against the corridor as if she had lost some support. After a long time, she said: "I love him. In this world, the only person I love the most is Cen Ya. So, I will always help him!"

help him?Yu Li smiled bitterly in her heart. Could it be that the best way to help him now is to let him marry Jin and the princess smoothly?

*************

As night fell, the general's mansion was still full of singing, piano music, and brightly lit lights.Yu Li, who hadn't been to the front yard for a long time, came to the lobby of the front yard today accompanied by Zhu'er.

In the hall, Gu Cen Ya sat high on the main seat, watching the musicians and dancers rehearse the banquet repertoire with cold eyes.

"Stop!" Gu Cen Ya shouted in displeasure, and said to the woman playing the piano: "I heard that you are the best luthier in the imperial capital, why, your level is only like this?"

The woman was embarrassed for a while, not knowing how to answer.

Just at this moment, Gu Cenya saw Yu Li standing not far away. Ever since the meeting in Luan Xige that day, he was trying his best to restrain himself, his longing for her, and his dependence on her. He wanted to , if we don't meet each other, will there be less heartache?

Just today, why did she appear here?And well-groomed, with a smile on his face?

Yu Li walked in and said to Gu Cen Ya: "What song are you playing? Why don't I try it?"

Gu Cenya was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to reply incoherently: "Qiao...Qiao Hanmei..."

Yu Li nodded, nodded to the dancers in the middle of the hall, and said, "Let's do it again."

The dancers glanced at Yu Li gratefully, knowing that they had already been scolded by Gu Cenya dozens of times just tonight.

Gu Cenya looked at Yu Li who was sitting on the ground from a distance, there was no sadness, no complaints, no resentment on her face, what was there was just as indifferent and peaceful as before.

Li'er, do you forgive me?

Gu Cenya asked in his heart.

Yu Li met his gaze and gave him a peaceful smile. Her fingers, as thin as green onions, were slowly plucking on the strings, her voice was clean and neat, but it lingered endlessly.

"The decree arrives—"

Gu Cenya frowned, and subconsciously glanced at Yu Li.At this moment, Yu Li had stopped playing, and there was a trace of sadness on her face after all.

"The general accepts the order!" As the voice fell, Xiao Zengzi, the personal eunuch next to Dongfang Jing, walked into the hall holding the whisk and the imperial order.

Everyone in the hall, including Gu Cen Ya, knelt down together.

"Great General Gu Cenya, who has both ability and political integrity, has made many military exploits, is humble and has a good temperament. I have always cherished and loved talents. I miss my only daughter, Jinhe, who is about the same age as you, and her talent and appearance match you. Therefore, I Personally bestow the marriage, and three months later, I will announce it to the world, hereby."

The imperial decree had been read out, but there was no sound in the hall, and Gu Cen Ya's face was ashen, and he did not kowtow to accept the decree.

Is it too late?Is it too late?Gu Cenya asked himself again and again in his heart.

A few days ago, he got the news that Dongfang Jing intended to give him a marriage, so he accelerated his plan, hoping to let himself control everything before the imperial decree was conveyed.

However, he did not expect that this decree would come so quickly.

"General?" Little Zengzi smiled all over his face, the one in front of him is the future son-in-law!

Gu Cenya raised his head, just stared at Xiao Zengzi, but still didn't accept the order.

At this time, Youtong walked in, she knelt beside Gu Cenya, and said with a smile: "Isn't the general too excited? Even if you are excited, you have to accept the order first!"

After finishing speaking, You Tong leaned close to Gu Cen Ya's ear and said, "Do you want to resist the edict?"

Against the decree?Gu Cenya forced a smile, it's not that he didn't dare, it's just that he is no longer qualified to resist the decree, he has involved too many people and shouldered too many responsibilities...

He turned his head and looked at Yu Li with such an ugly smile on his face.

Then, he kowtowed and said: "Gu Cen Ya accepts the order, thank the emperor for his kindness."

"Haha..." Xiao Zengzi heaved a sigh of relief, quickly helped Gu Cenya up, handed him the imperial decree, and said, "From now on, when I meet the Great General, I don't even know what to call him. Is it better to be called the General, or the Son-in-Law..."

Seeing that Gu Cen Ya was holding back his anger, You Tong hurriedly said to Xiao Zeng Zi: "Eunuch, the flower hall has prepared tea and pastries, please move."

"well……"

After Youtong and Xiao Zengzi left, the musicians and dancers saluted together: "Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general—"

"Get lost!" Gu Cen Ya yelled.

The crowd didn't seem to understand, until they saw Gu Cen Ya's frightening face, they left the hall quickly.

The hall once again returned to tranquility.

Standing in the middle of the hall, Yu Li took a deep breath, as if nothing had happened, and said, "What song does the general want to listen to? If you don't want to listen, Yu Li will step back first..."

Gu Cenya looked at her with a painful expression, "You called me General again? You know I don't like it when you call me that..."

"..." After a moment of silence, Yu Li said: "Cen Ya, it's getting late, I'm tired..."

Saying that, Yu Li turned around, wanting to leave.

However, Gu Cenya took a stride and hugged Yu Li from behind. He hugged her tightly, as if he would never let her go forever.

He said hoarsely, "I'm sorry, I let you down again..."

Seeing that Yu Li didn't answer, Gu Cen Ya turned her around, but saw that the beautiful face was already full of tears.

He wiped her tears in confusion, and said uneasily, "Don't cry, Li'er..."

If he had a choice, he could really give up all the glory and wealth, and take Yu Li away alone.

However, now he has already embarked on this path, and he can only keep going.

He only hopes that when this road is over, Yu Li will still be by his side. At that time, no matter how difficult it is, he will firmly guard her.
