Chapter 20 You are not qualified to call her that.
Chapter 20 You have no right to call her that.
Gu Shushuang is a girl from the Queen's natal family. Due to the death of her parents, she was taken to the palace since she was a child and raised under the Queen's knees. She was also granted the title of Princess Wuyou.
Music, chess, calligraphy and painting, the Four Books and the Five Classics, everything has not been left behind.
The Queen Mother said: Her husband has reached the age of marriage, and she must ask the emperor to marry her personally, so that her husband's family will not dare to bully her in the future.
The emperor said: Nangong Chu Yu is not only handsome in appearance and voice, but also brave and good at fighting. He became famous in one battle when he was fourteen years old. He is the unparalleled god of war general in our Li Dynasty.
It's a pity that although he defeated the enemy barbarians last year and returned triumphantly, he was left with a disability and a limp.
The emperor made an exception and named Nangong Chu Yu, a heterosexual prince, with the title Xiaoyao King, allowing him to live a life of leisure and wealth.
After hearing this, Gu Shushuang's eyes were full of amazement. Young general, what girl in the boudoir wouldn't fall in love with him!
Soon, the emperor's marriage was granted.
The wedding day is coming soon, and the whole place is decorated with red makeup and a big sedan is carried.
Xiaoyao Prince Nangong Chu Yu rode a tall horse to bring Princess Wuyou Gu Shushuang into Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.
But on the wedding night, she was driven to a side courtyard.
Gu Shuangshuang recalled the disgusted look the prince looked at her just now and the cold and callous tone towards her, it was like a bucket of cold water suddenly poured down on her head.
It extinguished all her expectations and enthusiasm for this God of War general.
Gu Shushuang didn't know why the prince hated her so much?
[Sunset Courtyard]
Gu Shushuang stood in the cold wind, looking at the dilapidated yard.
The four maids who followed her out of the palace all pouted and began to complain.
Let Princess Wuyou go to the palace tomorrow morning with King Xiaoyao to express her gratitude to the Holy Lord, and tell him a complaint to see if he dares to treat the princess so harshly in the future.
Gu Shuangshuang just shook her head slightly and told them that no one should talk too much.
Now that she is married, she has to think about her future life. If the situation is so tense when she first enters the house, how will she spend the rest of her life in Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion?
Gu Shushuang sighed slightly, and the maids did not want to cause any more trouble to their master, so they all agreed and went away.
Since Nangong Chu Yu did not send anyone from the palace to help, they were busy until late at night.
There is nothing in the room, and all the items can only be used from the dowry brought from the palace.
After all this trouble, Gu Shuangshuang only slept for less than an hour. Before dawn, the maid pulled him up and started dressing up.
After everything was done, Gu Shushuang went to the main hall in a dignified manner and served tea to her mother-in-law.
"Mother-in-law, please have tea." Gu Shushuang picked up the tea and knelt down to straighten herself.
Yu Si took the teacup with a smile and took a sip.
Then he said, "Your father-in-law died for the country and died on the battlefield."
"Your husband also brought glory to the country and became disabled."
"Although you are the princess, once you get married, you must behave yourself and put your husband first in everything."
"Do you understand?"
Gu Shuangshuang nodded gently, "My daughter-in-law follows her mother-in-law's teachings closely. Both her father-in-law and husband are the patron saints of our Li Dynasty. My daughter-in-law is very proud."
Yu Si was very satisfied with Gu Shushuang's gentle and dignified attitude and gave her many bridal gifts.
After Gu Shushuang finished serving tea, he went into the palace with Nangong Chu Yu to express his gratitude.
The two of them went to the Queen's Palace together and chatted about common things, and soon the emperor came.
Both inside and outside the words were telling Nangong Chu Yu to be good to Gu Shushuang.
Nangong Chuyu responded calmly.
Gu Shushuang didn't want to file a complaint.
The two of them stayed in the Queen's Palace together and had lunch before bowing down and leaving the palace.
In the carriage, Nangong Chuyu pursed his lips tightly, and Gu Shushuang saw that he had no desire to communicate.
He also kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
When they were about to return to Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion, Nangong Chu Yu spoke.
He was still cold and cold towards Gu Shushuang, "I will marry my concubine tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside, "Meet--" It was the Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion.
Nangong Chuyu didn't need her consent, he just informed her.
As soon as the carriage stopped, he immediately got off without paying any attention to Gu Suisui.
Gu Shuoshuang swallowed, opened the curtain of the carriage, and silently watched him leave.
Gu Shushuang thought, if it weren't for the marriage granted by the emperor and she was the princess, that girl would be his real wife!
She was the one who ruined their marriage.
Gu Shushuang sighed.
She returned to the Sunset Villa very calmly.
The day for him to marry his concubine came soon.
Gu Shushuang sat upright gracefully, drank the tea offered by the girl, and gave her the greeting gift he had prepared the day before.
After finishing his work, Gu Shuoshui quietly retreated in a sensible manner, and took the maid back to the Sunset Villa.
Putao said: "Princess, the prince has gone too far. He actually let a concubine live in the main courtyard."
You know, the main courtyard is eating and living with the prince!
That is the treatment that only a princess should have.
Gu Shushuang smiled and gently poked Tao Tao's head with his finger, "Don't worry about these things, we can just take care of ourselves."
The four maids nodded obediently.
Gu Shushuang and Nangong Chuyu met for the first time on their wedding night, and they had no feelings for each other.
All her initial fantasies were ruthlessly crushed by him.
Now that she learned that he was marrying a concubine, Gu Shuoshuang had no feelings at all.
She even blessed them in her heart, because after all, she, Gu Shuangshuang, was the redundant one.
It was a pity that the marriage was granted by the emperor and could not be divorced or reconciled. She could not return the position of princess to the girl.
The days passed so uneventfully.
My mother-in-law said that she didn't have to go to see her in the morning or visit her on weekdays. She devoted herself to the Buddha and ignored worldly matters.
Naturally, the concubine didn't have to face Gu Shushuang. It might have been ordered by Nangong Chu Yu.
Gu Shushuang is also happy to be free, but even if she comes, Gu Shushuang will tell her that she doesn't have to run around in the future and just live her own life.
To this day, Gu Shushuang doesn't know the name of the concubine or what she looks like. Nangong Chuyu protected her very well, probably because he was afraid that Gu Shushuang would conflict with her.
In fact, Gu Shushuang rarely goes out.
She likes to be quiet. When she has nothing to do, she reads her storybook, makes tea, and passes the time.
This day...
The concubine came to the side courtyard.
She walks like a willow tree, making people pity her.
He bowed respectfully to Gu Shushuang.
Gu Shushuang also politely asked her to get up.
Then, let her sit down.
The two began to stare at each other and looked at each other for a long time. Suddenly, they looked at each other and smiled.
They both have a more subtle feeling about each other.
Her voice is very nice, soft and soft, and she always calls like a sister.
Her name is also very nice, Su Xiaotan.
The two sat and chatted all afternoon, and found that they had similar personalities and similar hobbies, and they actually felt like they had met so late.
However, this wonderful atmosphere was soon broken.
Nangong Chuyu came in a hurry.
As soon as he returned home, he heard from his servants that the concubine went to the princess's side courtyard to pay her respects, but she never returned.
He was afraid that Gu Shushuang would be dissatisfied with him and deliberately embarrass Xiaotan.
So as soon as he came, he directly pulled Xiaotan behind him, and then warned Gu Shuangshuang with a sullen face, "You only have the title of princess, but Xiaotan is the real princess in my heart."
"From now on, you can kneel down and pay your respects to Xiaotan every morning."
Su Xiaotan immediately explained to the prince.
And the prince couldn't hear it at all.
He also told her not to be afraid. In this palace, she, Su Xiaotan, was the real mistress.
Gu Shuoshuang didn't want to talk nonsense with the prince who was selectively blind and only prejudiced against her.
Gu Shuoshuang nodded in agreement and was too lazy to object.
If there is no need, there will be no desire.
The prince stormed away angrily with his concubine.
What Nangong Chu Yu said also spread throughout the entire palace.
In Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion, the chief steward is in charge.
Starting from this day, the food and clothing expenses of Sunset Branch Hospital have been reduced by half.
The four maids defended their princess Wuyou.
Gu Shushuang still shook her head and told them that it was no big deal.
Just ignore everything.
The next day.
Gu Shushuang went to the main courtyard early in the morning and knelt down to say hello to Su Xiaotan.
Su Xiaotan didn't dare to accept the princess's courtesy, so she hurriedly supported her to prevent her from kneeling, and told her to rest assured that she would not tell the prince.
Gu Shushuang just smiled. It wasn't that she didn't believe what Su Xiaotan said, but that she didn't care about the prince at all.
She just wants to live quietly in the palace.
Su Xiaotan had someone bring good snacks, and the two of them talked and laughed and made tea together to pass the time.
It was almost time for Gu Sui to meet. She didn't want to see the prince who was prejudiced against her, so as not to cause trouble.
She stood up and said goodbye.
Although Nangong Chuyu was an idle prince, he also received a temporary post in the Ministry of Rites, and he just showed up every day!
The next day.
Gu Shushuang still got up and went to the main courtyard to say hello to Su Xiaotan.
As soon as he got there, he was stopped by Nangong Chu Yu's personal bodyguard.
He said that the prince had a rest today and had not gotten up yet.
Let her wait outside.
Gu Shushuang stood under the eaves and waited.
At three o'clock in the morning, the door of their room opened.
The moment Nangong Chuyu saw Gu Shuangshuang, his smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and his face darkened instantly.
He asked in a cold voice: "Why are you here?"
Gu Shushuang bowed slightly and said, "I come here to say hello to sister Xiaotan."
Gu Shushuang rolled his eyes in his heart.
He also silently cursed: Dog man.
Nangong Chuyu looked at her and said, "Please invite me now, and then go back to your side courtyard after you are done."
Gu Shuoshuang knew that he was an eyesore to her!
Today, because Nangong Chu Yu was here, Su Xiaotan was knelt down by her for the first time in so many days.
But she was a little embarrassed.
When Gu Shushuang stood up, he winked at her quietly.
Only then did she smile.
Gu Shushuang didn't stay too long, and Shi Shiran left.
Three months later.
Gu Shushu is sick!
The illness is somewhat serious.
Fang Pa covered his mouth and coughed, feeling red.
The maids were all frightened.
I hurriedly asked the palace doctor to take a pulse.
The doctor frowned, but said it was nothing serious and that he would be fine after just taking a few doses of medicine.
Before he left, he said nothing.
Gu Shushuang also felt uneasy. She had been in good health since she was a child. Not to mention how strong she was, at least she rarely took medicine when she caught a cold.
Gu Shushuang went to the main courtyard for the first time, looked for Nangong Chu Yu, and told him that she wanted to go back to the palace to ask for an imperial doctor.
Nangong Chuyu refused without even thinking, and ordered the princess not to step out of the palace without his permission.
Gu Shushuang was still very calm.
Silently returned to the Sunset Villa.
I drank the medicine prescribed by the doctor every day and just endured it.
She prayed that she was fine as the doctor said.
But her whole body started to hurt.
Vomiting blood became more and more frequent.
On this day, she fainted and died on the way to pay her respects.
When he woke up again, he saw Nangong Chu Yu standing aside with a dark face. However, he was not here to care, but to hold him accountable.
He said that she did not go to greet him on time today, so he asked her to kneel in the main courtyard for three hours before she could get up.
Gu Shuoshuang couldn't stand up at all. She was panting slightly and covered herself with a square handkerchief. Her upbringing did not allow her to show any indecent behavior in front of outsiders.
Nangong Chuyu just said: "If you don't go today, you will have to kneel for six hours tomorrow."
The four maids knelt down to beg for mercy, but Nangong Chuyu remained unmoved.
At this moment, Gu Shuoshuang raised her head and looked directly at him, and asked the words that she didn't care about, "My lord, do you hate me?"
Nangong Chuyu waved his hand and dismissed all the servants.
The four maids glanced at Gu Shushuang, and after receiving a nod of agreement, they lowered their heads and retreated.
Nangong Chu Yu stood tall and tall, with his hands behind his back. He looked at Gu Shushuang with extremely disgusted eyes and said sternly: "Xue Rong, I wish Xu Rong."
Gu Shushuang's pupils narrowed when he heard the words.
Sister Xuerong?
The girl who drowned trying to save her.
But what does Nangong Chu Yu do with sister Xuerong?
Gu Shushuang was very confused and asked: "What is the relationship between the prince and Sister Xuerong?"
When Nangong Chuyu heard that she called Sister Xuerong, he went up to her and pinched her chin, and said angrily: "You have no right to call her name, let alone sister."
"When you killed her, did you ever think that this day would happen?"
Gu Shushuang let out a cry of pain and immediately said firmly: "I have done no harm to Sister Xuerong."
But Sister Xuerong died because of saving her.
Nangong Chuyu suddenly shouted loudly: "I said, you have no right to call her that."
"Do you believe that this king pulled out your tongue?"
Gu Shuangshuang was pinched so hard by his careless hand that it hurt.
Nangong Chuyu saw her in pain and didn't feel a trace. This pain was nothing, he would give her a hundred times a thousand times to repay what she owed Xuerong.
Gu Shushuang was exhausted physically and mentally and didn't want to explain anymore.
That’s all, let him think whatever he wants!
Nangong Chuyu's eyes were gloomy, and he couldn't help but recall the little girl in his memory who saved his life.
When he was sixteen years old, he led troops to suppress bandits and climbed a cliff to take a detour. He was accidentally contaminated by the poison on the cliff and lost all strength and fell down.
At that time, he thought he was dead.
But his life should not be cut off. There was a river under the cliff. He floated along the river and was finally fished out by a little girl.
He remembered that she was very gentle and kind.
It was like a ray of sunshine shining into his heart.
In order to take care of him, the little girl stayed with her personal doctor and servants.
Until one time, he unexpectedly heard the servant next to the little girl say that she took the blood from the tips of her fingers to detoxify him.
He was shocked and moved at the time. Why did they meet by chance? So he decided that he would marry this gentle and kind-hearted woman in the future and give her all the good things he had.
After being together for half a month, the poison that spread to his throat has not completely healed, but he has many words that he is holding back in his heart and cannot express.
He couldn't help but feel annoyed why the one with the best voice was the slowest.
But his personal guards finally came, and the little girl left after seeing that he was safe.
As she walked forward, Nangong Chuyu remembered that he still didn't know her last name and where she lived. He immediately sent his bodyguard to follow her to see which family the girl belonged to.
After he led his troops to eliminate the bandits, he would go back to propose marriage. Although she was still young, she could get engaged in advance.
