I Really Like That Guy!

When the prince heard about this, he was stunned.

He didn't expect the Su family to move so fast, and before he could react, they set up a new marriage for Su Luoyan.

Subconsciously, the first question that Gu Xiuyan thought of was what to do with their engagement? How should the father explain it?

Also, this is everyone's doubts.

But soon, news came from the palace that someone mentioned this to the emperor, and the emperor said lightly: "This is a joke I made with Su Qing back then, how can you take it seriously? Besides, the matter of the children can't be Regardless of the children's wishes, getting married is a happy event, not a grudge."

The meaning of the words is very clear. This marriage contract is meant to be a joke. The prince doesn't seem to like Miss Su, so let's forget it.

The emperor expressed his attitude, and everyone has nothing to say now, and even if there is, they dare not say it.

On the contrary, the prince was very happy to hear it, and felt that it was the expression of his father's favor and consideration of his wishes.

The queen went early, and there was no mother as a bond of communication in the huge deep palace, and the father-son relationship between the prince and the emperor was not deep. Later, when the prince grew up, his relationship with his grandfather, the Song family, became increasingly close. Before that, he went to his uncle's military camp to practice for two years, which caused the estrangement between the father and son to grow wider and wider.

The Song family is a long-established family. The country's father, Song Qianshan, once served as a national prisoner and avoided alcohol. After begging for bones, he founded the Song family school. There are many disciples. Its energy is evident.

The third prince of the year and the current emperor, it was precisely because he married the direct daughter of the Song family, and with the great help of the Song family, that he had the possibility of winning the battle for the throne.

But as he sat on the throne, his identity changed, and the emperor's attitude toward the Song family also changed.

He needed it before, and naturally wanted it to be strong. But when he became the emperor, he understood the truth of not allowing others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.

Song Renzhou, the son of Song Qianshan, is now the Northwest General, guarding the northwest border and holding 200,000 troops.

That year Wen Rensong was recalled to the capital by the late emperor. Not long after the late emperor was buried in heaven, the Northwest Army hadn't arranged for someone to take over. It happened that the third prince ascended the throne. In order to thank the Song family for their help, he personally gave Song Renzhou the military talisman of the Northwest Army.

What I sent out has now become a thorn in my throat, and I can't pull it back.

The emperor was afraid of the Song family's military power. The older the prince grew up, the more contact he had with the Song family. The emperor became more and more dissatisfied with this young, strong and ambitious prince.

The prince could actually sense the scrutiny of his father when he occasionally looked at him. He also had admiration and admiration for the man he called his father when he was young.

However, the emperor is not his own father, not only his son. The father who was assigned to the prince was pitiful, and every time he saw him, the emperor would only ask him about his homework, test and teach him his knowledge, and never give him a trace of care and warmth.

Without a mother, even the crown prince suffered a lot in the deep palace. The prince who has grown up with difficulty is no longer weak, no longer gullible, and no longer expects that ethereal fatherly love.

He understood the power of power early on, so he asked to leave the palace and go to the military camp. In the military camp, he met his uncle Song Renzhou.

From his uncle, the prince felt the rare care belonging to his family, and at the same time, he got closer and closer to the Song family. The grandfather of the Song family treated him gently and lovingly, the second uncle of the Song family would pull him to drink with a smile, and the cousin of the Song family would embroider his purse and call him his cousin affectionately, more like a family than the palace.

Although the emperor's words made the crown prince think that the father and emperor still cared about his thoughts, he was also quite annoyed. Without the marriage contract, it is impossible for Li to replace Taojang and make Su Baiwei his righteous wife.

At this moment, someone from Song Mansion invited him to come.

At the gate of Song Mansion, the prince walked as familiarly as he was at home.

The maids and servants he met at the door were also accustomed to salute him and greeted him. He walked all the way to the outside of his grandfather's house, and Gu Xiuyan adjusted his clothes before stepping in.

The room was silent. An old man with white hair and beard sat cross-legged by the window, staring down at the black and white chessboard in front of him.

"Lingfeng, come here." The old man said without raising his head, "Play a game of chess with me."

Lingfeng is the word Song Qianshan chose for Gu Xiuyan.

Gu Xiuyan was indifferent and alienated outside, but in the face of the grandfather he respected, he restrained his composure. After answering "yes" in a deep voice, he sat opposite the old man according to his words, and lowered his head to watch the chess.

After that, the two didn't talk anymore, only the crisp sound of chess pieces falling down echoed in the small room.

After a while, Gu Xiuyan put down his hands and said, "Grandfather, I lost."

Only then did Song Qianshan slowly raise his eyes, seriously looking at this grandson who had grown up.

"Ling Feng, do you know where you lost?"

"I'm not good at studying."

"No." Song Qianshan's sunken eyes did not have the turbidity of the old man, and they were still full of light, he said slowly: "You are too affectionate, because I am a grandfather, you can't bear to deal with me by the means of dealing with opponents, in you In my heart, this is just a sparring game, not a real fight."

Gu Xiuyan was silent, what his grandfather said was right.

"Ling Feng, if you want to succeed, you have to put aside the love of your children and focus on the overall situation."

"What grandfather meant...I don't understand."

Song Qianshan said calmly: "All the princes have grown up. They have mothers, foreign families and wives to help them. How can you beat them?"

Gu Xiuyan: "I also have grandfather and uncle."

The old man said coldly: "You are a royal family, your surname is Gu, and the only connection you have with my Song family is your long-dead mother. Why should we block the whole Song family's life and death to help you?"

Gu Xiuyan clenched his fists and said nothing.

"You need a wife, a wife with a strong family." The old voice sounded slowly, with the precipitation and thickness of the years, and it sounded like a bronze bell, ringing in the ears of the young man, "Your second uncle's cousin is like Lan, you will be fourteen next month, the sachet you are wearing is still embroidered by her..."

Now that the marriage of the Su family and the Prince of Yuan Ting is a certainty, families with school-age daughters in the capital are also beginning to get excited.

At the prince's current age, he should have been married long ago. Su Luoyan's fiancée is gone, and other noble girls have a chance.

After all, no one thought that the concubine of the Su Mansion could be the crown prince. The prince's marriage was not only a marriage for the aristocratic families, but also a matter of power change and investment.

It is a pity that within two days, the palace issued a decree for the marriage of the prince and Song Rulan, the second daughter of the Song family. I heard that it was the prince's will to go to the emperor himself.

Because the prince was over twenty years old, he could not delay, and the wedding date was still set on the original date.

The ladies who secretly expected to be crowned princesses were not happy for a while, but their hopes were lost again. When they heard the news, I don't know how many people accidentally tore their veils.

Alo knew about this, it had been several days.

Since she married Wen Renjin, the house has become lively. After all, the time is too fast, and there are too many things for a woman to prepare for marriage, especially for a noble girl like her, many people even start preparations when their daughter is ten years old. She has only a month left, and things are crowded together, and the entire house, regardless of the master and the servants, is extremely busy.

Yao shi was so busy every day that she kept her feet on the ground, shopping for various things, ordering servants, counting dowries, writing invitations, sending congratulatory letters, and also brought A Luo's sister-in-law to embroider the wedding dress with A Luo.

Su Luoyan actually started embroidering wedding dresses a long time ago, but she used to embroider the style of a prince concubine.

Sister-in-law Zhong is a quiet and introverted person, and she is very serious. It is clearly A Luo's wedding dress, and A Luo is tired from embroidering for a while from time to time, but Zhong is always very focused.

On this day, Zhao Qiuchen came again, and by the way, he brought the news that the prince had married the Song family.

A Luo was talking to her, and A Luo was not very surprised by this.

Song Rulan's role appeared in the book. The male protagonist's road to the throne was not smooth, and many competitive younger brothers appeared in the middle. He finally climbed to the throne with the help of the Song family, and the price was to marry his cousin.

The prince concubine decided Su Luoyan, and Song Rulan would marry him as a side concubine.

Song Rulan, the supporting actress, had a much better ending than the original owner. She was Gu Xiuyan's cousin and had an unusual relationship with him. And she later got pregnant and miscarried because she was too young, her body was broken and she couldn't bear children, and she was always weak and sick. Gu Xiuyan felt very guilty for her.

This cousin also caused a lot of conflicts between the male and female protagonists. At that time, Su Baiwei had already entered the palace and became the queen, and Song Rulan was named a concubine. Whenever Gu Xiuyan went to Song Rulan's palace, Su Baiwei would make a big fuss, but A Luo also remembered that no matter how the heroine cried, made trouble and hanged herself, Song Rulan would still be her concubine in the end.

But no matter what, these are none of Arlo's business, just listen.

Seeing A Luo's lack of interest, Zhao Qiuchen pointed to Zhong's red wedding dress and asked, "Are you changing your clothes?"

A Luo nodded: "I can't keep up with embroidering new ones, so I can only change the ones that were done before."

Zhao Qiuchen walked over and glanced at it: "This embroidered...is the phoenix flower?"

A Luo curved his lips and smiled: "Yes."

"You are too unique. Other people's wedding dresses are dragons and phoenixes, and mandarin ducks play in the water, but you are full of flowers and plants."

Zhong Shi smiled and said, "Yan'er likes phoenix flowers."

"Yes. Anyway, the prince of Yuanting can't see it, why don't you embroider your favorite pattern." Zhao Qiuchen said bluntly.

A Luo glared at her and couldn't help saying, "He will definitely like this wedding dress." She believed that even if he couldn't see it, he would like it.

Zhao Qiuchen wanted to talk about a blind man who has never even seen the phoenix flower, how do you like it? Haoxuan held back at the last moment, and asked under A Luo's glaring eyes: "Speaking of which, the Crown Prince has appointed the daughter of the Song family. How is your concubine?"

Hearing this, Arlo suddenly shivered.

She remembered the scene she accidentally encountered a few days ago. Su Baiwei cried so pitifully that she asked Gu Xiuyan if she was deceiving her. After Gu Xiuyan explained that she would not listen, she pressed her against a tree and kissed her forcibly.

A Luo was going to pass there, but in order not to disturb them, he made a big bend.

"What else can I do? My mother said that she will be sent to Tai's womb in a few days."

These few days, Su Baiwei cried either in the garden or on the path, or in the pavilion or by the corridor, crying so much that everyone who was already so busy was dizzy and irritated.

Yao Shi couldn't take it anymore, thinking that the prince was about to get married soon, and sent Su Baiwei to him before his big wedding. It would be a good thing if he could conceive an heir as soon as possible, so he made this decision.

Despite all the disturbance from the outside world, Arlo couldn't control it. She just needs to stay in her small courtyard, embroidering her wedding dress, and waiting for that person to arrive.
