Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh: Restoration
On the same night, there are still people who can't sleep at night.
The fact that Gu Xinian finally got married made the prince feel inexplicably happy.
Of course, the prince would never admit to himself that he had always cared about the past between Shen Qiuyu and Gu Xinian. No matter how much Gu Xinian tried to distance himself from Shen Qiuyu and how much he swore, this matter was still as strong as a thorn. It stuck firmly in my heart. Today, I witnessed Gu Xinian entering the bridal chamber, and the thorn in my heart was finally pulled out. Suddenly I felt like going for a walk in the garden.
Rejecting Mr. Mo's offer of accompanying him, the prince took only one entourage and entered the garden.
The Prince's Mansion covers an area of about several hundred acres, with Tingtao pavilions, carved railings and painted buildings, and the scenery is excellent. In the garden, you can see exotic flowers and plants, rockeries and flowing water everywhere.
Whenever the prince is in a good mood or is very gloomy and depressed, his favorite place to go is the viewing tower in the middle of the garden. This viewing building is made of fine wood and has two floors, with ventilation on all sides. Standing on the second floor, you can clearly see the panoramic view of the garden.
The prince walked downstairs and casually ordered the attendant beside him: "You stay below and don't let anyone come up to disturb me." Then he walked up casually.
As soon as he reached the second floor, the prince noticed something strange and couldn't help but frowned. It was already almost midnight. Who could come here without sleeping in the middle of the night...
The cool moonlight fell on the wooden floor. The figure with his back turned stood there quietly, his head slightly lowered. His figure was graceful and moving.
That figure was very familiar, but it was completely different from his usual gentle and smiling appearance. He felt inexplicably desolate and lonely.
The prince's heart trembled, and he stopped subconsciously. He didn't want to disturb the figure by making any noise.
Obviously, she was immersed in her own thoughts and did not notice some strange movements behind her. After a while, she suddenly sighed quietly and murmured: "It's useless to miss lovesickness. It's okay to be melancholy and mad." …”
The prince was shocked and his eyes were extremely complicated.
At that time, he was not yet married. He was still a young boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. Even though he knew that Shen Qiuyu was the sweetheart of his cousin Gu Xinian, he still couldn't help but fall in love with Shen Qiuyu. This contradiction is complicated. The mood lasted for a whole year. Finally, he couldn't help but secretly wrote two poems on the handkerchief and secretly gave it to Shen Qiuyu.
It’s useless to be longing for lovesickness, but it’s pure madness to feel melancholy!
These two poems were his most passionate and sincere love at that time. They were also the most secret and wonderful memories in his heart.
These memories seem as clear as yesterday, but unknowingly eight years have passed. The reckless and impulsive young man back then is now the calm, steady and glorious Crown Prince. And the beautiful girl smiling brightly under the crabapple tree, Now she has become an unloved concubine in the prince's palace. When I go up to the building in the middle of the night and look into the distance, I feel lonely and desolate...
The prince felt slightly sad. He softly called out: "Yu'er."
The figure trembled and turned around slowly. Under the cold moonlight, that beautiful face was haggard and thin, with undried tears still in the corners of her eyes. It was none other than Shen Qiuyu!
Shen Qiuyu looked at His Royal Highness in bewilderment and sighed as if talking to himself: "Am I dreaming? Cousin Lu, is it really you?" Tears slowly fell from the corners of her eyes, crystal clear and endearing.
The childhood sweethearts who grew up together were not only Shen Qiuyu and Gu Xinian, but also the yet-to-be-canonized crown prince Zhao Lu. Shen Qiuyu called Gu Xinian "Cousin Xi" and called him "Cousin Lu". However, since After marrying into the Prince's Mansion, Shen Qiuyu never called him that again...
This familiar title brought back all the warm and soft memories in the prince's heart. All his pity for Shen Qiuyu was also brought back. He strode forward and held Shen Qiuyu tightly in his arms. He murmured: "Yu'er, don't cry, I know I've been neglecting you these days. It's my fault, it's all my fault..."
Shen Qiuyu lay in the prince's arms, her shoulders shaking constantly, and the faint sound of crying that she tried to suppress could be heard.
The prince is a man who cherishes old feelings and is easy to be soft-hearted. He is also a man who cherishes the beauty and loves the jade. When the beauty in his arms cries so sadly, his heart has already softened. He held her in his arms and coaxed her for a long time: "Okay, goodbye. I cried. It was my fault in the past. I was only busy and neglected you. I will never do it again in the future."
Shen Qiuyu stopped crying and raised her head sadly. Her beautiful eyes were full of sorrow and pain under the moonlight: "Cousin Lu, you don't have to make me happy anymore. I know you are tired of me. Don’t like me anymore…”
"Of course not." The prince impulsively spoke out what was in his heart: "Yu'er, although there are many women around me, you are always the only one I love most. But..." I don't know what you really love in your heart. Who is the person.
Although these words were not spoken, Shen Qiuyu seemed to have guessed the prince's thoughts and said softly: "If you still have doubts about my feelings, then I am willing to swear to Yue at this moment. If I have any half-hearted intentions, , just let me be struck by lightning and die!"
The ancients all attached great importance to their promises. After hearing such a decisive oath, the prince was finally truly moved. He softened his voice and said, "Why are you making such a vicious oath? When did I stop trusting you?"
Extremely hypocritical!
Shen Qiuyu sneered secretly in her heart, but her face showed an expression of emotion and joy at the right time.
The prince looked at her with concern, and then asked: "It's so late, why didn't you take a good rest in the house, why did you come here without a person? You are still wearing such thin clothes, how can you get cold?"
Shen Qiuyu sighed faintly: "It was a long night, and I didn't want to sleep, so I went out for a walk. I happened to reach this observation building, so I came up and stayed for a while. Somehow, I remembered Lu Biao and me. When I think about the things that happened in the past, I can't help but feel miserable. I casually recited those two lines of poetry. But I didn't expect that you would hear it by such a coincidence..."
Such a tone of resentment and self-pity made the prince feel a little guilty, and he hurriedly tried to coax him a few more words.
Is this really the truth of the matter? Of course not!
The fact is that today is the day when Gu Xinian gets married. Shen Qiuyu feels jealous and resentful and can't sleep at all. She doesn't even take her personal maid with her, so she just wanders around in the garden.
Probably the cool night breeze gradually calmed her down, and she finally regained her senses.
Gu Xinian's marriage has become a foregone conclusion. No matter how upset or unhappy she is, it will not help. The most important thing now is to win back the prince's heart and regain her own favor and status. If she continues to be depressed like this, I am afraid that the situation in this prince's house will be ruined. There is no place for her anymore.
She cruelly gave up on Gu Xinian and gave up her status as the grandson-in-law of Dingguo Palace to marry the prince, but it was not just to be a resentful or abandoned wife. What she wanted was the most noble status in the world. , taking charge of the Sixth Palace, Mother Yi, and the world is her real pursuit. How could she forget her original intention just because of a little setback?
She has known the prince for many years, and she knows the prince's character very well. As long as she has the right opportunity, it is not difficult to impress the prince. After much deliberation, Shen Qiuyu came to the viewing tower.
Today is the day of Gu Xinian's wedding. Since the prince went to have a wedding banquet, he must be very excited and completely relieved when he comes back. With his personality, he will probably have to hang around the house for a while before resting. The prince's favorite place to go is the observation tower...
Everything was as expected by Shen Qiuyu. She waited patiently for about an hour, and finally the prince came. In fact, the moment he walked up the stairs, she heard a subtle noise. She was just pretending not to know, this The good show just now was performed. As expected, the prince was convinced!
Shen Qiuyu knew well that too much is too much, and she quickly cheered up under the prince's gentle comfort. She did not forget to take the opportunity to ask for a promise: "Cousin Lu, is what you just said true? You will really do it more often in the future. Come to see me?"
The prince nodded without thinking: "Of course, when have I ever regretted anything I promised you?" As soon as Gu Xinian got married, most of the knots in his heart were gone. With Shen Qiuyu's steadfast promise, he had already made up his mind. The previous anger and unhappiness were completely forgotten.
Shen Qiuyu's acting skills were top-notch, and it took no effort for her eyes to turn red, and she choked up and said, "Yu'er is so lucky to have His Highness treat her with sincerity. I hope to be by His Highness's side forever in this life, and hope that His Highness will never leave her." "
Her eyes were shining with water, and she looked at the prince tenderly, as if he was her god and her faith. No man could refuse such a look, let alone the soft-hearted prince.
The prince hugged the delicate body tightly in his arms, bent his head and kissed her lips deeply.
Shen Qiuyu responded softly and enthusiastically, easily arousing the prince's passion. The prince gasped unbearably, and then whispered in her ear: "Yu'er, let's go back."
Shen Qiuyu pretended to be shy and blushed, leaning her head in the prince's arms.
This little daughter's gesture easily satisfied the prince's arrogance. He smiled, hugged Shen Qiuyu, and walked off the observation tower in such an intimate gesture.
The chief attendant had been waiting not far away. When he saw the prince coming downstairs, he came over with a smile. When he saw someone else in the prince's arms, the chief attendant couldn't help but froze for a moment.
The Crown Prince did not explain much, but simply gave a faint order: "Go and report to the Crown Princess that I will stay in Concubine Shen's yard tonight and will not go back."
The long attendant responded with a sound and then retreated.
Mrs. Mo was waiting for the prince to come back from his leisure time, but somehow he didn't arrive first. What he was waiting for was such news, and his face turned pale with anger.
What a Shen Qiuyu! Despite all the precautions, she failed to prevent her from making such a move, running to the observation building in the middle of the night to wait for the prince... With Shen Qiuyu's beauty and scheming, it is not difficult to coax the prince to change his mind.
It seems that Shen Qiuyu's glorious days are coming again...
