Chapter 29: Apathy (1)

She married her grandson at the age of sixteen and gave birth to a son two years later. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The son was less than a year old, and the prince died unexpectedly, and Emperor Yuanyou was also ill because of excessive sadness.

Emperor Yuanyou was bent on passing the throne to his most beloved eldest grandson. Unexpectedly, the father and son of the King of Qi raised troops and forced the palace to seize the throne. The grandson was injured by Neiying beside him, and later died under the arrow of the prince of Qi. Later, she fled with her two-year-old son.

She and her grandson have been married for four years, and they will be separated forever.

She died of a serious illness at the age of forty-three, and she was separated from her grandson for twenty-three years.

After many years, this short-lived husband has long become a blurry silhouette in her memory. She couldn't even remember what he looked like......

"Cousin Wanning," a delicate voice sounded in his ears, "Have you seen His Royal Highness the Grand Sun?"

It's Shen Qinglan.

It's always this delicate, pitiful, and touching appearance. Even when he spoke, he didn't let go of his volume, as if he was always being bullied by others.

Back then, Xiao Rui was fascinated by Shen Qinglan's appearance!

In contrast, she is proud, stubborn and stubborn, and she can't even show weakness and coquettishness, so naturally she has no qualifications to be loved.

Gu Guanning glanced at Shen Qinglan lightly, and replied casually: "Do you think that His Royal Highness Taisun can be seen by anyone?"

Shen Qinglan was choked speechless. I was secretly annoyed and ashamed.

Every time she spoke in a good voice, Gu Wanning came back sarcastically without appreciation. I really don't know why Gu Wanning targeted her like this!

What's even more hateful is that she doesn't have the confidence to compete with Gu Wanning at all. Seeing at those cold and sharp eyes, she didn't even have the courage to open her mouth to fight back.

……

Everyone gossiped a few words about the grandson, and then brought the topic to Mrs. Fu's birthday banquet.

"Old Madam Fu's 80th birthday banquet, you must have given an invitation to the Qi Palace!" Mrs. Tai asked with a smile: "When the time comes, does the prince plan to go to the banquet in person, or let someone send gifts to congratulate him?"

The prince of Qi replied: "Old Mrs. Fu is a first-class fate, and she is eighty years old. I would like to personally come to congratulate such a happy event. ”

After a pause, he finally couldn't help but look at Gu Wanning: "When the time comes, Cousin Ning will also go to the banquet with her grandmother!"

Gu Wanning raised his eyes and looked at the prince of Qi for a moment.

Those calm and calm eyes are like bottomless pools of water, which makes people unable to figure out.

That strange feeling is here again!

The prince of Qi suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and repeated patiently: "Cousin Ning, will you go to the Fu family then?"

Gu Guanning finally opened his mouth: "Yes." ”

Just one word, and no more follow-up.

The prince of Qi touched a soft nail, his face was not obvious, but he was slightly annoyed and unhappy in his heart.

Although he and Gu Guanning have a deep affection, he is of noble birth after all, he is a grandiose grandson, and he is also the son of King Qi. With such an identity, he only has the share of showing his face to others, how could he have been so cold?

Everyone also sensed that something was wrong at this time.

In the past, when the prince of Qi came to visit, Gu Wanning was always happy, and he talked more than usual. Today, she has been silent. It's rare that the prince of Qi lowered his body and took the initiative to talk, she turned out to be such a reaction!

Gu Wanning, what's wrong?

"Wanning," Shen glared at Gu Wanning with some displeasure: "The prince is talking to you, why do you have such an attitude." Hurry up and apologize to the prince. ”

Gu Wanning replied expressionlessly: "My daughter doesn't know what she did wrong, and she doesn't know why to apologize." ”

Shen: "......"

Everyone: "......"

Shen was impetuous, and was about to reprimand.

The prince of Qi took the first step and opened his mouth: "Second uncle, please calm your anger." Cousin Ning is probably in a bad mood today and doesn't want to talk much. There's nothing disrespectful to me, and there's really no way to apologize. ”

The prince of Qi said so, and the Shen family didn't want to say anything more, so he stopped his mouth a little stupidly, and secretly snorted in his heart. Gu Guanning's arrogant and willful bad temper was praised like this.

What's even more infuriating is that Gu Guanning didn't receive the love of the prince of Qi at all. He glanced at him faintly, then looked away. made it clear that he didn't want to deal with him.

The prince of Qi also had his pride, and such a gesture was thrown back by Gu Wanning, and he no longer opened his mouth.

The crowd was silent for a while, and the scene was cold.

Mrs. Tai coughed and started a round: "Not only Sister Ning, but Sister Hua and they will also go to the banquet together." It's a pity that the male guest and the female dependents are not together, and the old man is afraid that he will not have the opportunity to see the son of the world that day. ”

The prince of Qi smiled fixedly: "Of course there is a chance." When the time comes, I will accompany my cousin and them to see my grandmother. ”

Mrs. Tai was full of joy, and looked at the eyes of the prince of Qi Wang becoming more and more loving.

She gave birth to only one son and one daughter.

Gu Zhan died on the battlefield, leaving only Gu Wanning and Gu Jinyan's sister and brother. She loves her grandchildren very much. The prince of Qi is the eldest son of the eldest daughter Gu Yu and the grandson of her in-laws. Is there any reason why she doesn't love?

It's a pity that the prince of Qi lives in the palace on weekdays, has a heavy workload, and there are not many opportunities to leave the palace. As a grandmother, it is not easy for her to meet her grandson.

"It's not too early, so let's stay for dinner and come back!" Mrs. Tai said with a pleasant face.

The prince of Qi hesitated slightly, and then responded.

……

Mrs. Tai specially sent someone to the military department to deliver a message.

Gu Jinxing is still young, and it is more appropriate for Gu Hai to come forward to greet the prince of Qi.

Gu Hai quickly rushed back.

Mrs. Tai had already ordered the kitchen to prepare two tables of dishes. One seat for men and one seat for women. The middle is separated by a landscape screen. It not only avoids the suspicion of men and women, but also looks casual and lively in the same dining room.

Mrs. Tai sat on the top, and the three daughters-in-law sat beside Mrs. Tai in turn. Then, there are five Hou Fu ladies and three cousin ladies.

Mrs. Tai was obviously in a good mood today, and told Zi Yan with a smile: "Go to the kitchen and get a pot of fruit wine, and I'll drink a glass or two today." ”

Zi Yan responded with a smile and retreated. After a while, he came up with a pot of fruit wine.

This fruit wine has a very low alcohol content and is soft and sweet in the mouth, making it most suitable for women.

Mrs. Tai led the drink, and her daughters-in-law and granddaughters also joined in the fun.

"Only this pot, where is there enough to drink. Wu smiled and played: "Please go to Zi Yan again and bring two pots of fruit wine." ”

"That's what my sister-in-law said. Fang immediately smiled and agreed: "It's rare that the prince came to the mansion today and left a meal." The big guys are happy, and they want to have a few drinks. ”

Although the Shen family couldn't get used to the Wu family's Fang family's behavior of currying favor with Mrs. Tai, they couldn't lose their interest at this time, and said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law also wants to ask for a few glasses of wine." ”

The daughters-in-law intended to coax themselves to be happy, and Mrs. Tai was quite happy, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, everyone let go of the drink today." It doesn't matter if you want to drink as much as you want. ”

Gu Wanqi opened her mouth boldly: "Grandmother, can we also taste fruit wine?"

Fang Shi glared at him with disgust: "You are the most naughty nonsense." You are still a girl who has not left the cabinet, how can you drink?"

"Third daughter-in-law, don't count Sister Luoqi. Mrs. Tai smiled: "This fruit wine has a low degree and is not intoxicating." Let them taste some. ”

As soon as Mrs. Tai spoke, the Fang clan no longer objected.

Gu Guanqi was overjoyed, and winked proudly at Gu Guanning and the others.

Gu Wanning smiled dumbly, and his depressed mood due to the appearance of the prince of Qi eased a little.

Dingbei Hou Mansion has been inherited for more than 100 years, although the people are not prosperous, the family background is staggering. Clothing, food, housing and transportation are low-key and exquisite. This fruit wine is carefully brewed by selecting more than 10 kinds of fruits through multiple processes. The recipe was researched by the steward of Houfu Liquor, and the restaurant outside spent thousands of taels of silver to buy the recipe, but it didn't work out.

Linlang poured wine for Gu Wanning.

Then, I saw Gu Guanning drink cup after cup without changing his face.

Linlang was secretly surprised.

The young lady had drunk before, but the amount of alcohol was rather shallow. I drank more than a dozen glasses in a row tonight, but nothing happened.

The more he drank, the brighter Gu Guanning's eyes became.

The flush quietly stained the cheeks, as bright and delicate as a peach blossom.

The prince of Qi stood by the screen at some point, staring at Gu Wanning silently, his eyes gentle.
