I Became The Stepmother of My Ex-husband
Chapter 25: Pique
Lin Weixi regretted it as soon as the words were spoken, but what could Lin Weixi do? She can only bite the bullet and pretend to be calm: "Your princess, that is, Gu Chengyao's mother's surname is Shen. She passed away in the seventh year of Jianzhao, ten years ago. You are different from Gu Chengyao. Your wife was lost for three years. All, even if no one dared to demand your status, you still did it. Now it has been ten years since Princess Shen passed away, and her elder son has married and established a family. Although she has no children, it has obviously been in these few years."
"What do you want to say?"
Lin Weixi blushed, and his voice did not weaken: "The princess has passed away for many years, and the elder son has grown up. There is no worry about heirs, and there is no need to worry about the newcomer treating the predecessors' children harshly. If there is no worry about the future, then you should marry a new princess. Up."
Gu Huiyan put down his pen and didn't care about Shoufu's ruined letter. Instead, he looked at Lin Weixi with a calm look in his eyes, so he was free: "Go on."
Lin Weixi wanted to lower his head subconsciously. It was terrible, even more terrifying than the old-fashioned master who taught her to read when she was a child. But without turning back the arrow, Lin Weixi couldn't tell King Yan I'm sorry you heard it wrong. She was talking in sleep just now, right?
Lin Weixi blushed and almost dripped blood, using the most bold and loud voice in her heart, but actually as thin as a mosquito and flies, she said softly: "Look, how am I?"
Gu Huiyan is still so clear and indifferent, but he himself knows that this is not the case.
Gu Huiyan's fingers were lightly resting on the desk, and under his fingertips was a reply to Zhang Shoufu, which had just been destroyed by a drop of dirty ink. But under this letter, there is another exquisite palace paper pressed.
The letterhead was written by Princess Shoukang. In the letter, Princess Shoukang said that she and Lin Weixi were very close to each other. She was an old man who lived in the princess mansion by herself and always felt empty. It happened that Lin Weixi also mentioned this matter, so Princess Shoukang I want to take Lin Weixi to the princess mansion to live.
This is actually a very balanced proposal. Even if no one dared to talk about the gossip of King Yan’s Mansion, Lin Weixi is a girl who has never left the pavilion. She has no relatives with King Yan Mansion, and there are no female elders in King Yan Mansion. She lives here. The reputation is bad after all.
It was a reasonable proposal, but Gu Huiyan stared at the letter for a long time, but he couldn't write that good word. Probably rainy days will make people irritable. Gu Huiyan felt offended for no reason. He was surprised when he noticed this. How could it be? Gu Huiyan's face was still the usual, but his heart was already tsunami and landslide. Instead of processing Shou Kang's letter, he took another piece of paper, laid it out, and wrote a pen to Zhang Xiaolian's reply. When Gu Huiyan replied, his thoughts were always drifting towards another matter unconsciously. At this moment, Lin Weixi opened the door and entered.
Gu Huiyan couldn't tell for a moment whether this was accidental or the inevitable combination of several coincidences.
The thoughts that he had turned in his heart were only momentary. In reality, Lin Weixi had just recommended himself, and he was too embarrassed to lift his head.
Gu Huiyan watched Lin Weixi's hair spin. She looked very cute with her head hanging down like this. Her neck was like a swan, and it almost broke when she was suspiciously broken. Gu Huiyan didn't know how long he watched it, maybe it was a cup of tea, maybe it was just a moment, he quickly recovered and looked back: "You have a fever, go back and recuperate. I just pretend that I haven't heard these words. I still live in King Yan’s Mansion at ease, and I need to talk to Gu Mingda about what I need."
"I didn't!" Lin Weixi was originally ashamed, but when she heard Gu Huiyan's reply, she was surprisingly angry, "King Yan, what do you mean? I said this to you, and you just think I have a fever, if nothing happened. Let me go back to rest and treat me the same way in the future. What am I in your heart? An object with no thoughts and no emotions, or an object that is called to come and go, but with a funny pet?"
Gu Huiyan's eyes moved slightly, and finally revealed some of his true emotions: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know!" Lin Weixi thought that the matter was here anyway, and screamed out without hesitation, "I admire King Yan's heroic appearance and want to marry you as a step consort. My father asks you to take care of me, and you have always wanted to give me. Find a good relationship, so that I can rely on in the future. But what should I do if I look at someone else? What if he is only for your power and covets my dowry? You can support me once, but can Will it protect me for the rest of my life? In that case, letting me stay in the Yan Palace is not the best care..."
Lin Weixi's voice became weaker and weaker in Gu Huiyan's eyes. Well, she also knew that this was a fallacy. However, the words don’t sound good, and the reason is this. Lin Weixi has been in a kind of contradiction from the beginning of her journey to Beijing. On the one hand, she feels that her previous life is over. She doesn’t have to lose her new life. She should start a new life. On the other hand, she looks at the past life. People, things in previous lives, are really unwilling. She is dead, and these people are still alive, and they will live better after seeing the trend. She can't pass the hurdle in her heart, really can't.
Lin Weixi thought this way, his eyes filled with water. Gu Huiyan sighed with a headache. He didn't say anything about such rebellious things. The instigator was aggrieved and was about to cry. Gu Huiyan could only say, "You can catch cold easily when you get caught in the rain. Go back first and take a good rest."
It's this kind of rhetoric. Why do these superiors always like to say something ambiguous, but does he agree or disagree first?
Lin Weixi opened his mouth slightly, and wanted to say something, but Gu Huiyan's gaze swept over in the next second. The courage that Lin Weixi had accumulated with great difficulty collapsed thousands of miles, she lowered her head, gave Gu Huiyan a blessing in silence, and turned away dullly.
Lin Weixi's resignation brought some aura of anger, but at this juncture, no one would care about it. As soon as Lin Weixi went out, he saw Gu Chengyao standing under the eaves and unwinding his umbrella. Gu Mingda dutifully guarded the door. Seeing Lin Weixi's face was not good, Gu Chengyao wondered: "Why are you here?"
Lin Weixi didn't want to say a word, brushing past Gu Chengyao with a cold face. Gu Mingda heard the dispute in the room just now, and their guards knew how to score, and would not listen to the master's conversation. However, Gu Mingda, as the eldest subject next to King Yan, was amazed in his heart. Someone dared to argue with King Yan? Maybe someone could argue with King Yan?
So when Lin Weixi came out, his face was not so good, Gu Mingda was not surprised, but Gu Chengyao, after seeing Lin Weixi walk into the rain without looking back, frowned silently: "Why is she so wet by the rain?"
After Lin Weixi returned to Jingtan Garden, he had a headache as soon as he entered the house, and started to burn that night. Her illness came so fiercely that she had a cold in the palace before, and she had been walking in the rain for so long today, and she had a high fever when she came back. Lin Weixi’s illness shocked many people. The Yan Palace invited the imperial physician into the palace overnight, and half of the palace’s lights were on all night. Until noon the next day, Lin Weixi's fever was so easy to retreat a little bit. She opened her eyes in a daze, and saw a dung dragon suit standing outside the bed tent. The clothes were majestic and heavy black, embroidered with gold threads. The Beaulieu, standing in the exquisite and warm embroidery room, became more and more majestic and solemn.
You can wear it like this in the palace, without thinking of a second person.
Xu heard the movement in Babu's bed, and the conversation outside stopped. After a while, the third and fourth bed tents were opened one by one. Gu Huiyan stood outside the partition, looking at Lin Weixi's gaze and sighed helplessly: "Is it better?"
Lin Weixi's bones hurt all over now, as if her bones were burned by the fever. Lin Weixi pursed her lips, and said effortlessly, "It's okay."
As soon as the voice uttered, the hoarseness in it shocked Lin Weixi. Gu Huiyan sighed, how could he believe that she was really "okay". Gu Huiyan motioned to Wan Xing Wanyue to put down the bed net: "She can't see Liang now, so she will raise her well."
Wanyue obeyed and carefully put down the innermost red tent. Gu Huiyan was still squeezing a lot of things outside, and there was really no time to delay any longer. His figure moved, and as soon as he turned and took two steps, he heard Lin Weixi’s voice coming from behind, his voice dumb and hard: "Your Highness, I What I said yesterday was not just nonsense."
Gu Huiyan's figure stopped, he turned halfway, and saw Lin Weixi half propped up from the bed inside the thin layer of gauze. Even if he couldn't see clearly in his eyes, he could still imagine her eyes burning now, even if he was sick. Also stubbornly asked for an answer.
Wanyue was setting up the tent, and suddenly she saw Miss Lin prop up her body to talk to King Yan despite her illness, and King Yan stopped silently. Wanyue is unknown, so what did you say yesterday? Although she accompanied Lin Weixi to the study, she didn't know the specific details.
Wanyue held a delicate log in her hand. She didn't know what to do for a while, so she could only stand by the bed and waited quietly without disturbing Miss Lin and King Yan.
Gu Huiyan sank, and said, "If you are worried about Qian Er's matter, you can rest assured that I have handled this matter."
Gu Huiyan has taken care of what happened yesterday afternoon. Lin Weixi was emotional for a while, the itching in his throat couldn't be restrained, and he couldn't help coughing on his head. After finally controlling it, she said with a hoarse voice, "It's not because of him."
She knew she looked stupid and impulsive now, but she really wanted to understand.
Gu Huiyan's eyes darkened, and the temperature in the room also condensed inch by inch: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know." Lin Weixi tried his best to look directly into Gu Huiyan's eyes and said as best he could.
Gu Huiyan was separated by a heavy gauze tent, at that moment he was extremely sure, she didn't know. She was just puffing.
It's clear who you are angry with.
Gu Huiyan paused at the same place for only a moment, and then continued to walk outside: "You can recover from your illness with peace of mind."
Gu Huiyan had just walked out of the house, and sure enough, he heard the voice of tantrum inside. Gu Huiyan secretly said in his heart that with this little strength, he still learns from others to throw things to vent their anger.
Gu Mingda was waiting in the yard, and seeing Gu Huiyan coming out, he immediately walked behind Gu Huiyan and bowed his head slightly: "Lord."
Gu Huiyan led a person walking in the palace filled with gold and jade and corridors. When the servants in the garden saw him, they all lowered their hands early, bowed their heads and waited for him to pass, and dared not raise their eyes. When Gu Huiyan passed through a courtyard, he suddenly stopped. Outside the Ruyi carved fence, the wisteria tree hanging from the eaves was gently swaying.
When Gu Mingda saw Gu Huiyan stop, he looked forward and stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Master, Xu is the wind."
The gardener who looked after the courtyard was almost on his knees in fright. The prince is not satisfied with the wisteria tree? Think it is too dense?
Fortunately, Gu Huiyan just stopped to take a look, said nothing, and continued to walk forward. He was silent all the way, and everything he passed by was solemn.
Perhaps it is not the wind.
After Gu Huiyan returned to the study, he calmly handled the important official duties that he had accumulated yesterday. After a few brief instructions from his staff, he asked Gu Mingda to prepare his horse and visit the Princess of Shoukang.
King Yan suddenly came to visit, and the entire princess mansion was alarmed. You know, no matter where he is, he should be notified at least three days in advance. Princess Shoukang sat in the main hall and asked Xiang Gu Huiyan with some doubts: "Why do you want to be here today? If I don’t send someone to say in advance, I’m ready to prepare.”
"How dare to trouble Auntie?" Gu Huiyan smiled and nodded, and said without hesitation, "I am visiting today, because there is something to ask Auntie."
"Oh?" Princess Shoukang was also curious, what else does Gu Huiyan need to ask others for? She smiled and said, "You are self-effacing again. Is there anything in the world that King Yan can't come forward?"
Gu Huiyan smiled, not this time. He said: "I want to ask auntie to come forward to protect the media for me and Lin Weixi."
