I Really Like That Guy!
Chapter 19:
On the streets of the capital, several unremarkable horse-drawn carriages drove past. Passers-by glanced casually, and when they saw the servants following the carriage, they knew where the dignitaries came from.
The emperor's birthday, recently, officials from the city brought their families to Beijing from time to time, preparing to celebrate the emperor's birthday.
"Which family does this come from? It's so late, so you're not afraid of being late?" one person asked curiously.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew up the curtain of the carriage, revealing half of the faces of the people inside. It was a young woman with black hair tied into a bun and a gold butterfly hairpin inserted between her hair. Her exposed chin was delicate and small, her skin was like snow, and her lips were red.
Even if you only see a small part of his face, you can see its gorgeous appearance, which makes people forget the vulgarity.
Someone was stunned for a moment and said: "I remember that hairpin, that person should be the wife of the prince of Yuanting Hou, Su Luoyan, the young lady of the Su family back then."
Another person suddenly said: "It turned out to be her, I also remember that she was a former princess!"
Some good people whispered, but in a restaurant on the street, a cold-faced man was sitting on the second floor next to the window. Open your sight.
Because of the convenient location, he could see the woman in the carriage clearly.
That was Su Luoyan, the girl who once revered him as a god. He remembered the hazy tears in her eyes as she stared at him, the jagged back curled up on the bed.
In the past few years, he has experienced a lot, and the woman he once loved has become hysterical in the growing entanglement, and is no longer as pure and innocent as before, petty and gentle.
Gu Xiuyan often thinks, if he had chosen Su Luoyan, would it be better now?
But in this world, if there is no if, there is no turning back.
He gave up on her, and it was too late to regret it.
In that glance just now, he saw her beautiful face as before, and also saw her eyes that were clearer and brighter than before, she was still so beautiful, so pure and graceful.
Gu Xiuyan couldn't help but guess that the **** in Su Luoyan's heart was still him or her blind husband?
With her polite character, it should be her husband, right? She is like that, who is her husband, who is her god, even if the person is disabled and blind, he is a waste. She will also be single-minded and never give up.
"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Someone on the other side called softly.
Gu Xiuyan suddenly returned to his senses, turned his eyes to look at the man, and said after a moment of silence: "I know, you go and tell her that it is the father's birthday, I don't have time to see her recently. After a while, I will Take Yan'er with you."
"Yes, I will tell Su Liangdi this little one."
Seeing the people leaving, Gu Xiuyan stayed for a while before getting up and leaving the restaurant.
Half a year ago, my cousin was pregnant, which should have been a happy event, but unfortunately she and Su Baiwei had a miscarriage in a dispute as soon as she became pregnant. After that, the root of the disease was left, and the imperial doctor said that she could no longer conceive.
The Song family was furious and pressured Gu Xiuyan to send Su Baiwei out. For the past six months, Su Baiwei has been living in the yard outside, and Gu Xiuyan only takes time to visit her.
In fact, Gu Xiuyan couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had for Su Baiwei. Does he love her? Maybe it was love, every time she cried in front of him, he would feel pity for her.
He loves her tenderness, her understanding, and her affectionateness. As long as she is quiet, he always has endless patience with her.
But Su Baiwei seems to be always uneasy, always jealous, always suspicious.
She doubted again and again that he would bring back other women when he went out on business, suspected that he had changed his mind, suspected that he no longer loved her, she was willing to test his sincerity, and used the method of crying, making trouble, and hanging himself to consume his love for her. emotion.
After coming down many times, Gu Xiuyan felt indescribably tired.
At this time, he would recall his former fiancee Su Luoyan. She is so dignified and generous, elegant and reasonable, if she was his sweetheart, she would never let this relationship go to the place it is today.
When her lover, she must be happier than him at the moment. Gu Xiuyan was inexplicably certain.
A Luo came back very late, and it was the emperor's birthday banquet two days later, and she and Wen Renjin returned to the Hou residence slowly today.
Everyone else returned to Beijing ahead of schedule, and the reason why they were one step behind was because Arlo had it again.
This is really an accident, no one expected that she would be pregnant at this time. Fortunately, she had a very stable pregnancy with this child, and there was almost no reaction. Except for some drowsiness, everything else was normal.
Despite this, Wen Renjin was still worried, and tried to slow down on the road. They should have returned half a month ago, but they dragged it on until now.
I went home and rested for two more days, relieved the dust on the road, and soon arrived on the day of the birthday banquet.
A Luo went with Suisui, she was the prince's concubine, and Suisui was also a small county owner, so she had to attend this birthday banquet.
The birthday banquet was divided into two sides. The men sat with the emperor in the Chaoyang Palace, while the female family members were led by the imperial concubine to the Yuexia Palace.
As soon as A Luo arrived at the place, he saw an old acquaintance, and the other party obviously saw her and waved to her.
"Seventh Prince Concubine." A Luo walked over and saluted with a smile.
"Why are you and me being polite?" After not seeing her for a few years, Zhao Qiuchen seemed to be much more stable. He held her up and stretched out his hand to tease the little girl who was at A Luo's feet, "Xiaoyue'er, do you recognize me? ah?"
Suisui's name is Wenrenyue, and the small word Suisui is taken from the meaning of Suisui's peace.
"Hello Aunt Zhao." Suisui is not afraid of life. Zhao Qiuchen and Arlo often correspond, and the other party has given her many small gifts. She remembers this aunt.
Zhao Qiuchen became happy. For several years, her stomach had been unbelievable. Seeing such a well-behaved and beautiful little girl, she fell in love with her, and hugged Suisui to her knees to talk together.
A Luo took advantage of the situation and took the seat next to her, and did not change places until the birthday banquet started.
When this scene fell into the eyes of others, everyone looked unpredictable and thought about it in their hearts.
The royal birthday banquet sounds majestic, as if it is a great honor to come once, but it is actually very boring and long.
Especially on the female family's side, there is no congratulations from the foreign court, nor the princes offering birthday gifts to the emperor. In short, they eat food cooled by the wind at a table, and then go to Chaoyang Palace under the leadership of the imperial concubine. Just a toast over there.
During this period, Arlo glanced at the famous imperial concubine. This noble concubine was also a strange woman. When she was young, she was just an ordinary concubine in the harem. But later, for some unknown reason, he gradually gained the Sacred Heart. When the emperor was forty years old, he basically never went to other concubines' palaces, and only the noble concubine was favored alone.
Maybe it's because he is old and yearns for the warmth of family. It seemed that the emperor really regarded the imperial concubine as his wife, and together with the seventh prince from the imperial concubine, he was also the first child raised by the emperor himself.
There are even rumors that in the imperial concubine's Fengzao Palace, the seventh prince never calls the emperor father emperor, but calls him father as usual!
Even with such a big favor, the imperial concubine and the seventh prince did not act in a high-profile manner. During the banquet, they seemed to sense A Luo's scrutiny, and the imperial concubine smiled gently at A Luo.
As for the Seventh Prince, it is widely praised by both scholars and people.
He is humble and diligent, and he works carefully and carefully. The errands that the emperor entrusted to him are all done well. Even though he received a lot of praise from the outside world and was surrounded by many people, he was not at all arrogant and complacent, nor did he covet the power in the hands of the emperor.
In Arlo's view, the emperor regarded the seventh prince as his son, and the seventh prince also really regarded the emperor as his father.
And judging from Zhao Qiuchen's state, the seventh prince should treat her well, the wanton vitality in her eyes is still there, and it has not been extinguished because she has become a woman in the back house.
If the seventh prince came to be the emperor, it should not be worse than the male lead, right? In the book, the man takes the initiative to have a sadistic relationship with the heroine, and when he becomes the emperor, he seems to just change his identity to fall in love. I also know that it is difficult for such a person to govern a country well.
Arlo trusts his own eyes and judgment more than the plot. The book is just a carrier, this is the real world, and she has made a clear choice for the future.
In fact, since she sat upright next to Zhao Qiuchen, she has already made her stand.
In the second half of a birthday feast, the food on the plate was completely cold, and the sky was dark outside. Xiao Sui couldn't hold it anymore, and fell asleep directly in A Luo's arms.
A little palace maid saw it and said to Aruo: "Prince Concubine, you can take the little princess to the apse to rest for a while, the birthday banquet is about to end, and it's not a problem to leave at this time."
Suisui was over three years old after all, and it was a little difficult for A Luo to hold her all the time. Most importantly, she was really sleepy, so she wrapped her daughter in a fox fur cloak and asked the little palace maid to lead her there.
At this time, many people also left the table, it was convenient to go out or to rest, and Arlo was not conspicuous.
Holding the palace lantern, the little palace maid walked through the winding corridors and led Arlo to a stop in a side hall.
"Princess Shizi, this is it."
"Where is this place? Which palace, which palace? Who are you serving?"
A Luo felt that something was wrong when he walked halfway. The road was getting more and more deviated. It was not in the direction of the apse of Fengzao Palace at all, but more towards Chaoyang Palace.
Before the little palace maid could answer, there were suddenly steady and powerful footsteps behind her, and a low male voice said, "Yan'er, it's me."
A Luo turned his head suddenly, and saw a tall man in black clothes with strong features standing not far behind him. It was her former prince's fiancé and male client, Gu Xiuyan!
His eyes stared at her deeply, as if recalling the past, his eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish. Until she saw the little girl sleeping soundly in her arms, a shadow suddenly fell on her handsome face.
"Yan'er, this is your and Wen Renjin's child?" he asked in a deep voice.
A Luo finally came back to his senses, and couldn't understand why the male protagonist brought her here, and showed a constipated expression as if she had greened him.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Gu Xiuyan didn't care, and said to himself, "I haven't seen you for a few years. It seems that you are living well now, and you are even more beautiful than before. Your blind husband should treat you very well."
Arlo stared at him in disbelief.
Did this man take the wrong medicine? She is the female supporting role, the female supporting role in the book that he dismisses and doesn't even look at! What's the matter with this yin and yang tone like a resentful woman?
Most importantly, how dare he say that to Wen Renjin! !
