Chapter 334: Eternal Honor
Emperor Yongtai didn't know what Gu Xi's "thank you" meant, but in fact, Gu Xi also didn't understand why he wanted to thank him.
And was it a long time ago? Did you do anything?
Their sisters have the same background and the same appearance, but their personalities are like worlds apart.
My sister has been flamboyant since she was a child and likes to be in the limelight, but she just wants to be a quiet person who enjoys life.
However, girls like them can easily be in the limelight, but it is impossible to be quiet.
Gu's Shuangjiao's name once made her very embarrassed, and she almost didn't want to go out for a while.
As she grew older and her experience increased, she gradually figured out one thing, there is never anything quiet and lively in the world, and the real peace is always only in her heart.
She reintegrated into the bustle and bustle, not realizing how attractive her quiet and gentle temperament was beyond her stunning appearance.
The young man who went to study in Gu Mansion was one of the best in the capital regardless of his appearance and background, although Gu Xi had occasional contact with them, but because of the difference between men and women, he didn't have much contact.
If you want to talk about the most familiar, it is my father's most proud disciple Yuan Zheng.
Yuan Zheng has a strong temperament and is talented, and he is a young man who is easy to be liked, but unfortunately he was so busy at that time that he hardly had time to stop for anyone or anything.
And at that time, she was not in love, even if she had a little affection for Yuan Zheng, it had nothing to do with complete male and female love, just simple appreciation.
As for the third prince Yu Wenzhao at that time, Gu Xi couldn't help but bend his lips when he thought of this.
Nominally, Yuan Zheng is the companion of the three princes, but in fact, Yu Wenzhao chases after him all day long, almost like a little girl.
Because of Yuan Zheng, Gu Xi also had a little friendship with him.
never expected that he would secretly have affection for him, and it was so unforgettable, which made Gu Xi a little embarrassed.
She pondered carefully for a moment and said, "Your Majesty must feel that the concubine's thank you is a bit abrupt, but this is indeed the truest thought in the concubine's heart. ”
Emperor Yongtai looked very happy and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”
Gu Xi said earnestly: "Your Majesty has really held the real power for almost ten years, but the concubine has been living very stable and quiet, I really should thank Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Yongtai smiled dumbly: "It turns out that you are thanking me for not seizing the opportunity to bully others for ten years?"
Gu Xi didn't care that he replaced "I" with "I", and smiled calmly: "That's true." ”
The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and there is nothing he dare not do as long as he wants to.
If Emperor Yongtai really relied on his power and wanted to do something to Gu Xi, Gu Xi would have no power to fight back at all.
It is absolutely impossible to obey the emperor with her temperament, and there is only one way to die.
After all these years, most of her bones have been reduced to ashes, and her children have been motherless children for many years.
So her thanks are definitely from the heart.
The so-called meeting with a smile and enmity, what is entangled in the heart of Emperor Yongtai is not enmity, but the moment the two looked at each other and smiled, he suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, and the things that he couldn't let go of seemed to have changed.
Maybe it was because Gu Xi's smile was too bright and too clean?
Twenty years ago, he never dared to think of marrying Gu Xi as his wife, because his father would never allow it.
In the past ten years, he has never thought of having anything with Gu Xi, because he doesn't want to tarnish his affection for her.
once thought that as long as he buried this feeling deep in his heart, he would gradually forget it with the passage of time, but unfortunately it was all in vain, and he knew that he still couldn't let go of her.
This can't let go is not to possess her, but to hope that she can live well, and hope that the smile on her face will always be so bright and clean.
But after he returned to Beijing ten years ago, Gu Xi gradually became a noble lady who was still gentle and dignified, her eyes were calm like a lake, and her smile was shrouded in dark clouds.
Of course he knew the reason, Pei Tingyan, that bastard, actually dared to be sorry for him!
At that time, he even thought about using the power in his hand to rectify Pei Tingyan, but he couldn't help it after listening to Zong Zhi's persuasion.
Everyone is responsible for their own choices, Gu Xi was not forced to marry Pei Tingyan at the beginning, she agreed to it herself.
And the husband and wife live the same life as people who know that they are warm and cold when they drink water, and they have a brother-in-law and a brother-in-law, so it is really difficult to interfere.
Even if she forces Gu Xi to leave Pei Tingyan, her life will be good?
Gu Xi may not care about fame, or Pei Tingyan, but what about her children?
That's it, no one in the world can still be wronged at all.
He couldn't give her happiness but could keep her honor as Mrs. Yipinhou, so after that, he reluctantly continued to entrust Pei Tingyan with important responsibilities, even if the queen's mother family became more and more powerful and became the so-called "No. 1 high-ranking family".
Rao was so, and he didn't expect to see such a bright and clean smile on her face again. But at the moment when the Pei family suffered a catastrophe, it actually appeared again.
Emperor Yongtai finally understood one thing, it seemed that he, Pei Tingyan, and even the former Yuanzong were all wrong.
What Gu Xi wants has never been the "wealth and honor" they think, all she wants is a quiet and peaceful life.
He can't give such a quiet and peaceful life, Yuan Zongzhi is not qualified to give it, and Pei Tingyan probably has a chance to work hard.
The Pei family has long been integrated into Gu Xi's blood and bones, so why does he have to completely destroy her life.
Moreover, Pei Tingyu's slut's hatred for Gu Xi is already deep-rooted, if he really destroys Gu Xi's family, wouldn't it be just like that slut's will?
On the contrary, if Gu Xi is getting better and better, then the slut will not be blind even if he dies a hundred times.
Emperor Yongtai smiled: "Gu Xi, maybe I will never feel sorry again." ”
The position of the queen has never been suitable for Gu Xi, if he had married her back then, such a smile would have really been lost in the deep palace walls and could never be found again.
Gu Xi was so smart, she heard a lot of meaning from just one sentence, and she said tentatively: "Your Majesty has thought it through, are you really willing to let the Pei family live?"
Emperor Yongtai asked rhetorically: "In the past, I regarded you as an unattainable dream, but now I want to treat you as an old friend who has been friends for many years, and since you are an old friend, how can you be willing to see your family ruined......?"
He stared at Gu Xi's beautiful eyes, and said word by word: "I not only want to let your family live, but also let you enjoy the honor of Mrs. Yipinhou forever in this life." ”
Gu Xi seemed to be a little incredulous, and said, "The queen ......"
It's not that she had to force His Majesty the Emperor to kill that woman, but such a big insult, can the emperor really act as if nothing happened?
Let go of the Pei family, what excuse can His Majesty the Emperor use to punish Pei Tingyu?
If that woman was allowed to escape in this way, she would not be able to live a single day, let alone any honor she would enjoy forever.
Yongtai Emperor Long's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered: "It's too easy and too cheap to die, I want to let her live and enjoy the taste of life is worse than death for a long time." ”
