Mrs. Zheng told the whole story in a low voice, and even learned what Queen Gu said word for word.
Gu Hong's expression also changed.
"...I also met Shen Chang'an today." Mrs. Zheng naturally did not need to hide her words in front of Gu Hong, and said straightforwardly: "In terms of family background and appearance, she can barely match Yu'er. But this person has a bad temper. He is reckless and outspoken, and probably has not read any books properly. He is just a vulgar martial artist. There is no way I would marry Yu'er to such a person."
Yu'er is the treasure she has grown up in her hands. She is beautiful but sensitive and fragile. She should marry a gentle, gentle and patient man. How can she marry someone like Shen Chang'an?
Gu Hong didn't say anything for a long time, frowning and pacing back and forth.
Mrs. Zheng felt a little disappointed when she saw Gu Hong reacting like this.
They have been married for many years, and she knows Gu Hong's temperament very well. Gu Hong is decisive in major matters, but he is hesitant when it comes to dealing with relatives. Especially he respects his sister who is the queen. Now she knows that Gu Hong The queen's intentions are still hesitant, which is really worrying.
No matter what, she had to convince Gu Hong to stand on her side. Otherwise, when she went to her parents-in-law's place tomorrow, she wouldn't be sure she could protect Yu'er by herself.
Mrs. Zheng's thoughts turned and she opened her mouth and said: "Master, you also know what Yu'er's temper is like. If she really marries Shen Chang'an, with Shen Chang'an's temper, it is impossible to have the patience to coax her. Besides, Shen Chang'an Chang'an was born in a military camp, and his behavior is very vulgar and casual. If Yu'er is annoyed by something, what will he do to Yu'er? If the married daughter throws water, even if we feel sorry for Yu'er, there will be nothing we can do about it. ..." As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his eyes.
Gu Hong paused and sighed.
Mrs. Zheng choked again and said: "What is the queen's purpose in protecting Yu'er as a matchmaker? You should understand this without me having to explain it. Our Dingguo Palace is the prince's maternal family, so we naturally have to do our best to plan for the prince." But no matter what, we shouldn’t blame Yu’er! We only have such a precious daughter..."
There was silence in the room, except for Mrs. Zheng's low sobs.
Gu Hong cheered up and comforted him: "Don't cry yet. Since the Queen has asked us to come back to discuss this matter, that means there is still room for discussion. Are you the only one who feels sorry for Yu'er, and don't I feel sorry for you?"
Thinking of his introverted and withdrawn daughter, Gu Hong couldn't help but let out another long sigh.
Mrs. Zheng wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Now that the master has said this, I feel relieved. I will meet my parents-in-law tomorrow and ask the master to express my attitude so that my parents-in-law will not be impulsive. I agreed to the queen."
Gu Hong hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
Mrs. Zheng achieved her goal, but her heart was still heavy and she couldn't sleep well all night.
In Lengyue Pavilion, although Gu Xiyu was very tired, she was frightened in the palace. She was tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep.
Ye Qinglan was actually very tired, but she felt very distressed when she saw Gu Xiyu like this. She simply sat up straight and said with a smile, "I can't sleep either! How about we talk for a while!"
Gu Xiyu hummed and sat up.
What to talk about? Of course we have to talk about Shen Changan.
Ye Qinglan first chatted a few words casually, and then brought the topic to Shen Changan without any trace: "...I have never seen such a reckless man! Cousin Xiyu, were you frightened by him today?"
Gu Xiyu nodded, with a hint of grievance in her eyes. She had grown up and had contact with very few men. Needless to say, her eldest brother Gu Xinian, her cousin Zheng Junyan was also a gentle and polite gentleman. Even her confession was very tactful. How can there be someone like Shen Changan who is reserved? The first time they met, he was like this...
After thinking about it, I can't think of a suitable adjective. In short, it makes people breathless.
Ye Qinglan paid careful attention to the subtle changes in Gu Xiyu's expression, and asked tentatively: "What do you think of him?"
Gu Xiyu glanced at Ye Qinglan blankly.
Okay, let’s change the question! Ye Qinglan thought for a while and said: "Do you hate him very much?"
Do you hate it? Gu Xiyu was stunned for a moment, and Shen Changan's face appeared in his mind, as well as those unusually bright and fiery eyes.
She knew that she was very beautiful, and everyone who saw her for the first time would always show surprise in their eyes. But Shen Changan's eyes were different from others, looking straight like a burning flame. She seems to be the only one in her eyes...
She didn't know what this subtle and strange feeling in her heart was, but this feeling was different from disgust.
Ye Qinglan didn't speak, just stayed with Gu Xiyu quietly.
What she had thought before was correct. Shen Changan's appearance was indeed a good thing for Gu Xiyu. Regardless of whether there was a possibility of the two getting married, at least Gu Xiyu slowly regained consciousness because of Shen Changan's appearance.
In her previous life, Gu Xiyu stayed in a maiden's house until she was nineteen years old and never got married. Her love life was completely blank. This was inevitable because Gu Xiyu was essentially a child. She had always lived under the protection of her family. In my own closed world, I don’t understand what love between men and women is.
In this life, without her presence and company, Gu Xiyu might have remained as ignorant as in her previous life.
However, since she is here, she naturally has to try her best to guide Gu Xiyu to grow up quickly. Like all ordinary girls, she will be happy because someone admires her, and she will also secretly like someone...
After a long time, Gu Xiyu finally came to her senses and shook her head slowly: "No, I don't hate him." Although she still couldn't figure out what the strange feeling in her heart was, she at least knew clearly that she didn't. I don’t hate Shen Changan.
Ye Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief, with a gentle smile on his face: "Then do you like him a little bit?"
There was a trace of confusion in Gu Xiyu's eyes: "I don't understand." What is liking? Is it the same as liking big brother and cousin Lan?
Ye Qinglan explained patiently: "If you like Cousin Gu, it's because you like a relative. If you like me, it's because you like a friend. What I mean by like means a woman likes a man."
Gu Xiyu still didn't understand, and her eyes were blank.
Ye Qinglan decided to be more straightforward: "Let me use an analogy, if Shen Changan came to propose marriage, would you be willing?"
Gu Xiyu shook her head reflexively: "No, I don't want to get married."
There is a difference between not wanting to marry and not wanting to marry Shen Changan. A smile flashed in Ye Qinglan's eyes, and her voice became gentler: "If one day, you must marry, will you be willing to marry him? ?”
This time, Gu Xiyu did not shake her head immediately, but hesitated.
Ye Qinglan smiled, stopped asking, and casually brought up other topics. Gu Xiyu's reaction actually told her the answer. Although Gu Xiyu didn't have any obvious affection for Shen Changan, at least she didn't hate him. This pair has always been withdrawn. For Gu Xiyu, who is introverted and hates strangers approaching her, this is a rare improvement.
Relationships between men and women often start from unintentional good feelings. Maybe the fate of Shen Changan and Gu Xiyu will be rewritten accordingly!
After chatting for a while, Gu Xiyu still didn't feel sleepy.
The sound of the watchman could be heard faintly outside. It was already the third watch.
If this continues, there will be no sleep all night. Ye Qinglan had no choice but to use hypnosis on Gu Xiyu. Under her hypnosis, Gu Xiyu quickly closed her eyes obediently and fell into a deep sleep. .
Hypnosis actually consumes a lot of energy and physical strength. After Ye Qinglan finished hypnotizing Gu Xiyu, she was very tired. After lying down and covering herself with quilt, she fell asleep quickly.
Have a good night's sleep.
When Mo Xiang knocked on the door the next morning, Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu were sleeping head-to-head. Mo Xiang knocked several times and saw that there was no movement in the room, so he simply pushed the door open and walked in.
The soft sunlight shines through the window on the corner of the bed. Under the gauze-like light curtain, the two girls sleep soundly. Ye Qinglan sleeps on the front, and Gu Xiyu sleeps on the side. Her head naturally rests on Ye Qinglan's shoulder, her face Quiet. The picture is beautiful and quiet.
Mo Xiang almost couldn't bear to wake the two of them up. But if she didn't get up, her greeting would be delayed.
Thinking of this, Mo Xiang walked quietly to the bed and shouted softly: "Miss, cousin, it's getting late, it's time to get up."
Ye Qinglan fluttered her eyelashes and opened her eyes. However, Gu Xiyu turned over and continued to sleep.
Mo Xiang laughed dumbly, and was about to say something when Ye Qinglan woke up and shook her head at her. Gu Xiyu always slept lightly, and it was rare to sleep so soundly, so just let her sleep a little longer.
Mo Xiang hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly.
Ever since Ye Qinglan came, she, the chief maid, basically just had to obey orders. At first, she didn't get used to it, and she always felt a little lost. However, she got used to it as time went by.
After another half an hour, Gu Xiyu finally woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar smiling face appearing above her: "Cousin Xiyu, you are finally awake."
Gu Xiyu blinked and woke up a lot. She smiled a little shyly. It was really strange. She was obviously frightened yesterday, but why did she sleep so soundly?
Ye Qinglan smiled and said: "Get up quickly, it will definitely be late to say hello today."
Gu Xiyu obediently agreed, and then dressed and freshened up under the service of Mo Xiang and Jade. Breakfast was already prepared, and the two of them ate some at will, and then hurried to Jing Xinyuan.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zheng was not here.
Gu Xiyu was startled and glanced at Huang's mother. Huang's mother hurriedly smiled and said: "The master and his wife went to Shunyi Hall early in the morning. Madam specifically told her that if the two ladies come over, they can go directly to Shunyi Hall."
Gu Xiyu did not doubt that he was there and nodded in agreement.
Ye Qinglan's heart moved quietly. Why did Mrs. Zheng rush to Shunyitang early in the morning? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest power.)
