Chapter 53: Extra
The Gu family is not a relative of the emperor, Gu Jinglou is not as good as Xu Yi, and he can often go in and out of the palace. But his father Gu Huai is a close friend of the Son of Heaven, although he has been fighting abroad all the year round, he will return to Beijing every few years to take up his post. Every time he looks back on Huai, the Son of Heaven will inevitably set up a special banquet to entertain him, and the nobles of the family in Jiankang City will also pick him up. Gu Jinglou has been by Gu Huai's side all the year round, so Gu Jinglou also knows a little about the children of the Chinese and Korean magnates and the Son of Heaven.
Of course, this "child" refers primarily to the son. Gu Jinglou, the princess of this dynasty, is not very familiar.
But he did want to marry a princess since he was a child, not to be alone, the princess has the most noble background in the world, at least he doesn't have to be afraid of being bullied by his mother-in-law after marriage. Maybe she can bully her mother-in-law in turn.
His mother-in-law was quite murderous.
The first time Gu Jinglou heard Gu Huai talk about the princess, it was probably when he was five or six years old, in Jiankang.
One day when Gu Huai came back from drinking, Su Ji complained, "Why are you drunk again?" Gu Jinglou replied for Gu Huai, "Because there is a beauty in the seat." ”
As a result, Gu Huai kicked him out of the way-of course, it wasn't far, mainly because Gu Jinglou escaped far by taking advantage of his strength. This is a very ordinary interaction between their father and son, Gu Huai's statement is to exercise his reflexes, but Gu Jinglou feels that he is just itchy feet and wants to kick the child.
Afterwards, Gu Huai admitted, "There is a noble and interesting little beauty present." ”
-- The "beauty" mentioned by Gu Huai never carries any sense of ridicule or unsolemnity. The beauty in his mouth is often an image, and there are some immortal confidants that cannot be blasphemed. For example, if a "beautiful woman" makes him drink, he will "accept it."
As far as Gu Jinglou knows, Gu Huai did admire such a beauty when he was young, and it was precisely because he was too "respectful and fearful" that he turned out to be a beautiful woman. Gu Huai was hit hard to develop the problem of messing with the relationship between men and women. In the end, he was calculated by the little county lord of Nankang Palace, that is, Gu Jinglou's mother-in-law, and was forced to marry.
This "beauty" is his mother-in-law's biggest imaginary enemy, so this "beauty" is also a very perfect image in Gu Jinglou's heart.
Hearing Gu Huai say this, Gu Jinglou became curious, "Who is it?" ”
"The youngest daughter of the Son of Heaven should be as old as you."
"A princess?"
"Yes."
"Is it pretty?"
"Nice reads;."
"Where did you find that?" Why can't he find it?
"The Great Prince's Mansion. It should be the sister of the eldest prince......" Gu Huai commented casually, "The brother and sister are in the same vein," after a while, "And interesting." ”
The second time Gu Jinglou heard Gu Huai talk about the princess, it should have been around □□ years old.
It's also in Jiankang, and it's a similar situation.
What Gu Huai said this time was, "Don't practice hard, be careful of being compared to your junior sister." ”
"You actually accepted a little junior sister?!"
"It's an apprentice. My apprentice, your junior sister. ”
"Who is it? I'm going to kill her. ”
"—The youngest daughter of the Son of Heaven. Did I mention it to you last time? ”
Gu Jinglou was dumbfounded. I thought, forget it, it's the princess, let her go. Anyway, the princess won't come and grab the mantle with him. But-
"I want to see her. Since she is my junior sister, she should listen to me, right? "He hasn't seen a living princess yet.
"You want to be beautiful."
When Gu Jinglou was twelve years old, he finally met the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven also doesn't have three heads and six arms, he thought. This disappointed him slightly. Since the Son of Heaven is nothing special, presumably his daughter is no different from ordinary girls.
On the way to cross the river by boat, Gu Huai suddenly said, "Didn't you always want to marry a princess?" ”
"I don't think so."
"Oh. It's a pity that the Son of Heaven said that he wanted to marry his daughter to you. ”
"But it's good to marry one." After a while, Gu Jinglou couldn't help but ask, "Which one?" What is it called? Is it good-looking? ”
"It's the prince's sister. The name of the boudoir is Liuli. It's beautiful. ”
"How many sisters does the prince have?"
"It seems to be two. But she is the only one with the same mother. ”
Gu Jinglou nodded, thinking that it was her. How do you feel a little happy?
Gu Jinglou was sixteen years old and traveled the world on the orders of his father. Not only did he not throw the fruit and the car, but he didn't even have the discerning vision for the hero. Being deceived, stolen, and robbed along the way dealt a devastating blow to his pretentious character. But it was at this time that he met a girl.
The girl who still saw his extraordinariness and treated him differently when he was extremely depressed, Gu Jinglou recognized her at first sight, she was a princess.
- Of course, she was a princess, and she was accompanied by palace maids, temple people, and guards.
And she is very beautiful, indeed as Fu Zhong said, "Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning; Forced to see it, it is like a wave of hibiscus". It is the kind of beauty that can be seen at a glance among thousands of people, and it will never be mistaken again. Gu Jinglou thought, I wonder if the beauty that his father said is like this?
I wonder if the princess who made the marriage contract with him is also like this?
Gu Jinglou was seventeen years old, and he lived up to his mission and found out the shocking secrets. It's a pity that I didn't pay attention to leaking my whereabouts, and I was chased all the way back even worse than when I went.
Over the years. When he crossed the river, he couldn't help but think, I didn't know if the girl was still there this year. Then when he woke up, the frosty day dawned, and the girl was sitting by the river, holding her hair by the water.
- The second time he came to Jiankang alone, the first person he met was still her. But it was when he was extremely depressed, and she still remembered her.
Immediately he recognized the girl's work.
If this is not called fate, what is fate?! Gu Jinglou thought.
But the girl was saying, "Oh, you're wrong." ”
So he didn't understand - what was wrong?
His fiancée was the prince's half-sister and his younger sister named Ruri—wasn't that the man he had met?
"You are a princess, the youngest daughter of the Son of Heaven?"
“…… Be. ”
"My father once instructed you in kung fu, and the way you used it was the 'carp leap' created by your father."
"Yes."
"You are the prince's half-sister, named Ruri."
"It's not." The girl thought for a moment, but reminded him, "That's my sister." No matter where you get your sister's name, it's better not to call it out. ”
Gu Jinglou: ......
"Could it be that my father also instructed your sister in kung fu?"
The girl said lightly, "Then I don't know." Then he reminded him again, "If you have nothing to do, can you tell me the news you brought from the north?" ”
Gu Jinglou was still a little unwilling.
"I just called your sister's name, what are you going to do?"
"......," the girl looked at him like a child who would cry without sugar, "I just want to see who is calling the princess by name in public." Then again, why are you so obsessed with your sister's name? ”
"Because—I seem to have a marriage contract with the princess of that name."
"Oh......" the girl replied with a long voice, as if she was in a trance, and as if she was a little annoyed, "so you want me to respect you brother-in-law in advance?" ”
"......" the young man Gu Jinglou silently spit out a mouthful of blood in his heart.
"And the news from the north—"
Gu Jinglou was devastated and couldn't help but shoot back, "Aren't you the same, so persistent about the news from the north?" ”
The girl's eyes were down, her tone still light, and she said, "Because...... The man with whom I was betrothed was in the northern frontier. “
The young Gu Jinglou, seventeen years old, is in love. thought he had met a perfect destined person who was destined for him, but he fell out of love in a few words. and one of them asked for a betrothed person.
