Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 358 Old Landscape
"Ah Chao, you know that's not what I mean." Tang Feng said: "In the past two years, news about Princess Huayi's love for you has been coming in an endless stream, especially during this period of time, it is even more popular. I didn't stand up to refute it, so I thought you liked the princess; that's why I was so surprised when I suddenly heard you say that you don't have any feelings for the princess."

Listening to Tang Feng's explanation, Gu Yanchao naturally knew that what he said was not malicious. The reason why he lost control of his emotions just now was due to the invisible pressure from Princess Huayi and the imperial concubine on the one hand, and on the other hand It came from the guilt towards Tang Feng in my heart.

Now, seeing his good brother apologize to him without knowing anything, Gu Yanchao couldn't help it anymore, and said: "Ah Feng, you and I have been brothers for many years, and we know each other's lives best. You are the son of the Tang family. , and with your current achievements, don’t your family ever ask you to get married? Or do you have no girl you like? "

It was the first time Tang Feng mentioned this topic to Gu Yanchao, he laughed out loud on the spot, and said, "It seems that you are really annoyed by me, so you brought the topic around to me. Ah Chao , don't you know what kind of person I am? If I really have a woman I like, I will naturally tell the elders in the family and marry her into the house; now, since I am a bachelor, it proves that I have not find such a woman."

Hearing what Tang Feng said, Gu Yanchao asked even more eagerly, "I haven't found it yet? Then what kind of girl do you like? Although there are many girls around me, there are no less girls around you. , among so many girls, is there no one you like?"

Tang Feng's hand holding the rein tightened slightly, and the expression on his face remained the same: "Maybe it's because my marriage hasn't arrived yet, and this kind of thing can't be rushed. Oh right, it was originally in the Talking about your matter, why did it come to my head like this? A Chao, brother, I would like to persuade you, since you don't like the princess, you'd better tell the princess what you want as soon as possible, so as not to wait for the emperor to give you a marriage in the future, It will be too late to say anything at that time.”

Gu Yanchao felt a headache when he mentioned this matter, "I naturally know that this kind of matter needs to be clarified early, but you also know that Princess Huayi has a noble status, and the imperial concubine seems to want to get involved. Under such circumstances, if it is not handled properly, I'm afraid it will bring about unwarranted disasters for the Gu family; if this kind of thing really happens, then I will really become an unworthy descendant of the Gu family."

Tang Feng also frowned at this time, and said: "You are right, this kind of thing really needs to be handled carefully, and if there is a slight mistake, it will touch the emperor's scales. But I believe that Princess Huayi will be a Reasonable person, if you explain to her clearly, she will understand."

Will you really understand?He didn't have such a fluke idea. If Princess Huayi really considered his situation, she wouldn't let the outside world spread the news that she liked him, and she wouldn't let his sister die after entering the palace. To face the temptation of Concubine Chang Gui.

The mother and daughter probably wanted to use the rumors from the outside world to put pressure on him in a disguised form, so that he would not be able to refuse when the emperor bestowed a marriage in the future.

Tang Feng noticed Gu Yanchao's gloomy expression, and the smile on his face gradually sank for a while.

For him, he should be happy after knowing that his good brother doesn't like Princess Huayi, but right now, he can't be happy for a moment; all these years, he has been silently watching that precious princess from afar. How many times have you found a chance just to see her more.

However, after watching too much, he naturally understood that he probably didn't have any place in that person's heart, otherwise he wouldn't choose to let go, and just wanted to be by her side; he always thought, With her status and excellence, she will naturally find a Mr. Right, but now it seems that the situation is not as simple as he imagined.

He knew how deep her heart for Gu Yanchao was, and he also knew that her eyes had never moved away from Gu Yanchao over the years. If she learned from Gu Yanchao that he didn't like her Can it bear it?At that time, how sad should she be?
If the imperial concubine and the emperor convict Gu Yanchao and the Gu family because they love her, how will they clean up the mess?

At this time, Tang Feng also gradually felt that things might not be as simple as he imagined. It seems that the next capital city will make many people panic.

Both Gu Yanchao and Tang Feng's hearts were weighed down by a huge rock at this moment, but Gu Yanxi and the others who were sitting in the carriage did not know anything about it.

The speed of their group was considered fast. After walking on the road for about an hour, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain of Huguo Temple.

Looking at the clean mountain steps and the devout men and women coming and going, Gu Yanxi and the others got out of the carriage one by one, each with a hat on their head, and the maids waited on them to go up the mountain.

From the bottom of the mountain to the Huguo Temple on the mountain, you have to climb more than 1000 steps, not including the trails that occasionally go around on the road. In short, going to Huguo Temple to offer incense is really a physical test.

Gu Yanxi stood in front of the first step at the foot of the mountain, raised her head through the veiled hat, and looked at the stone steps winding upwards. The lush mountain scenery naturally looked extremely beautiful, but in front of her eyes, the spring scenery at this time But it turned into another scene.

In her previous life, she also accompanied her mother to the Huguo Temple to offer incense. Her mother is a person who loves worshiping the Buddha. She would come to the temple several times a year to add money for sesame oil.

However, ever since her parents encountered an accident on the way back home from Shangxiang, Gu Yanxi has almost never heard the word "Xianghuo" again; It is because I hate these Bodhisattvas and Buddhas who have been molded into golden bodies and enjoy incense and worship.

She repeated and complained in her heart countless times, if the Bodhisattva really has a spirit, why did she take her kind parents away from her life in such a decisive way?Obviously there are so many bad guys in this world who are still at large, but why does God not open his eyes and want to take the lives of really good people.

Full of resentment and countless pain followed her like a shadow, since then, she almost never believed in any gods and Buddhas, and never worshiped gods anymore.

She thought that she would always be like that, but she didn't expect that one day she would come to the foot of this familiar mountain again; looking at the familiar plants and trees in front of her, Gu Yanxi couldn't help but faintly smiled, and sighed that the world is impermanent.
