Bamboo Horse (5)
Sister Yue'er's rare voice was unexpected.
Brother Jun was at a loss for a moment before he whispered, "Cousin Yue, I know what you said. ”
"Because of the imperial aunt, the Gu family has become more and more holy over the years. Our family is loyal and respectful and grateful to the emperor's aunt. No matter what the imperial aunt commands, our Gu family will not hesitate to respond. ”
"There is only this one. ”
"I am the great-grandson of the Gu family, the son of the Marquis of Dingbei, in the future, I will support the gateway of the Marquis of Dingbei, and lead the troops into battle like my father, and sit at the border. This is my duty. I was mentally prepared. It's just that I don't want to take the initiative to marry Gillian cousin in order to please my uncle and aunt. ”
"It's unfair to me, and it's even more unfair to Gillian's cousin. ”
"Gillian's cousin is excellent and outstanding, and she deserves the love of the best teenager in the world. Since I regard her as my own sister, how can I marry her? I obviously like other women in my heart, how can I deceive Gillian's cousin? If I really do this, I will be truly despicable and shameless. ”
Jun Ge'er's voice was still low, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, so bright that it was impossible to look directly.
"Cousin Yue, I insist on sending you back to Baguio Palace today, just for this moment of solitude. I'm going to tell you what I want. Even if you don't want to accept it, I won't regret it. ”
Sister Yue looked at Brother Jun in a daze, and her heart was numb.
Brother Jun stared at her and said softly, "Cousin Yue, I like you." ”
"You are one year older than Gillian's cousin, and you should be married first. I don't dare to hesitate to wait any longer, I'm afraid that the imperial aunt will marry you to someone else. ”
"If you have me in your heart, you nod. When I returned home, I made my heart clear to my mother and asked her to enter the palace to marry you for me. ”
"I know it's not easy. However, no matter how difficult it is, I will not back down. ”
He finally made his mind clear.
I was nervous and apprehensive.
He liked her.
Does she feel the same way about him?
……
Sister Yue'er's body trembled, her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say a word.
Sister Yue twisted her head to the side, and tears slipped quietly.
Brother Jun, who was full of expectations, obviously didn't expect Sister Yue to react like this, and was at a loss for a while: "Cousin Yue, why are you cry......ing?" Could it be that you don't have a crush on me at all?"
Sister Yue wept silently, her slightly slender shoulders kept shaking.
Brother Jun had the heart to step forward, but he didn't dare, his heart was like frying oil: "Cousin Yue, don't cry, okay? Are you afraid that the imperial aunt will be angry with you because of this matter? Or are you worried that my mother will not nod her head and agree to this family business? Don't be afraid, the old things in the Qi Palace's mansion have nothing to do with you." You don't have to feel inferior and cowardly about this, and you don't have to hesitate to move forward......"
"Cousin Jun," Sister Yue turned her head and said with red eyes, "Don't say anything." ”
"I have already expressed my heart to the imperial aunt, I am willing to stay in the palace for a long time in this life and never get married. ”
Brother Jun: "......"
Brother Jun'er's mind is blank for a moment!
The blood seems to stop flowing, and the limbs are cold!
Sister Yue'er's voice seemed to come from outside the sky, fluttering and flickering: "Cousin Jun, I should go back." In the future, you and I should not see each other in private again. There is a difference between men and women, and you and I always need to avoid suspicion. ”
With that, he turned and left.
Brother Jun'er's blood surged, and he subconsciously stepped forward quickly, wanting to grab her arm.
Sister Yue was shocked, quickly dodged away, and her pretty face turned red: "Gu Huaijun, aren't you dizzy? What kind of place is this, how dare you be so presumptuous?!"
It's like a basin of cold water poured down.
Brother Jun woke up instantly, Junxiu's face was filled with chagrin and self-blame, and the hand that was about to touch Sister Yue'er's arm slowly retracted: "Cousin Yue, I'm sorry." I was in a hurry and almost fainted. ”
This is the palace.
Baguio Palace is just around the corner.
He and Sister Yue are already talking beyond the norm here, if they pull and pull, and then fall into the eyes of those who care, I don't know how many gossip will come out.
Sister Yue'er's identity is already very embarrassing, and she has always been cautious and cautious in the palace. I can't afford any rumors at all......
"Cousin Yue, I'm sorry!" the young handsome brother apologized again, full of regret: "I was in a hurry just now, and I didn't mean to surprise you." Don't be angry!"
Sister Yue lowered her eyes and no longer looked at Brother Jun: "You go! Don't come to me again in the future." ”
Brother Jun'er's face was miserable, and he stood in place dumbfounded.
Sister Yue took a deep breath and walked with her feet raised.
Her steps were a little quicker and more flustered than usual, and her back was a little panicked. After walking for a short distance, he returned to his usual appearance.
Brother Jun watched her figure walk away until he entered the Baguio Palace, and then slowly turned around and left.
The moment he turned around, Jun Ge'er's eyes were red, and water rolled in his eyes.
……
Dingbei Hou Mansion.
Cui Junyao was sitting by the window, looking at the ledger in her hand.
Cui Junyao, who is over thirty years old, is no longer delicate and fresh when she was young, and there are fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. But his demeanor became more and more calm, and his gestures showed the demeanor of Mrs. Dingbeihou.
The personal maid quietly stepped in and reported in a low voice: "Madam, the prince is back, and he is outside the door at this time." I wonder if Madame wants to see the son?"
Cui Junyao was a little surprised.
At this time in the past, Brother Jun was still reading in the upper study. Most of them return home in the evening. Why did you come back so early today?
Could it be because of the horses?
Cui Junyao's mind was racing, and she put down the account book in her hand: "Let him in." ”
After a while, Jun Ge'er walked in: "My son has seen his mother. ”
Cui Junyao almost immediately sensed that something was wrong.
In the past, the handsome brother who was in good spirits with a smile on his eyebrows and eyes, today his expression was dull and his tone was stiff, and his handsome face was strangely pale.
"What's wrong?"
Cui Junyao immediately got up, frowned and asked, "Why do you look so listless? Did you cause trouble in the palace? Or did you make a mistake and were you reprimanded by Taifu?"
Brother Jun said in a low voice: "My son does have something to report to his mother, but it has nothing to do with his studies. ”
It has nothing to do with academics, it must be related to family affairs!
Cui Junyao frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that your aunt announced that you were going to interrogate?"
Without waiting for Brother Jun'er to speak, he carefully advised: "During this time, you should be extra cautious in what you say and act. You might as well be a little courteous and affectionate to Gillian. The two of you are cousins and brothers, and you have a close relationship, far better than others. It's time to be closer, and it won't cause gossip. Your aunt has always liked you very much, and will be happy to recruit you as a colt......"
"Mother," Brother Jun coldly opened his mouth to interrupt Cui Junyao, "I don't want to be a colt!"
Cui Junyao: "......"
