Entering the main hall, the first thing I saw was a middle-aged man sitting in the center, about 40 years old, and Gu Li looked a little similar, if Mu Qianxia did not expect, this middle-aged man was Gu Li's father, the emperor of the current Eastern Qin.

Because it was not the last dynasty, the emperor of Eastern Qin did not wear a dragon robe, but only wore a clean and bright white brocade robe, which was very tight inside and out, Mu Qianxia now understands why Gu Li wears a moon-white robe all year round, and the feeling is genetic. The loose strands of hair were tied up with a fine flawless jade crown. His eyes were as beautiful as Gu Li, deep and dark as the endless night sky. It's just that his skin is very white, but it's not a normal one, but it seems to be caused by lingering on the sickbed all year round and rarely seeing the sun.

When the Emperor of Eastern Qin saw Gu Li taking Mu Qianxia's hand in, he nodded with great satisfaction, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes looking at Mu Qianxia became softer and softer.

The emperors in Mu Qianxia's imagination are all noble and cold, expressionless, and not angry and arrogant, but the emperor in front of him is as kind and intimate as an ordinary middle-aged uncle. Especially when he looked at Mu Qianxia's gentle gaze and kind smile, Mu Qianxia couldn't help but think of his father in his previous life. I wonder how he's doing now?

Gu Li saw that Mu Qianxia had been staring at his father and emperor, and couldn't help but squeeze Mu Qianxia's hand, Mu Qianxia immediately came back to his senses, realized that he had just been rude, and smiled apologetically at the Emperor of Eastern Qin, and said: "The eldest princess of Western Chu, Mu Qianxia, sees the Emperor of Eastern Qin, and wishes the emperor good health, peace and joy." When I saw the emperor just now, I couldn't help but think of my father, and I was rude for a while, and I hoped that the emperor would forgive me. ”

"It doesn't matter." The Emperor of Eastern Qin smiled and said, "Come, sit down, don't stand there." Soon we will be a family, and you can treat me as your father, and I will take you as if I were my own daughter. ”

"Emperor Xie's good intentions, I know it shallowly."

Soon, it was served. Mu Qianxia frowned suspiciously, why just her, Gu Li and the emperor, and the others? Didn't you say a family dinner? Doesn't the queen participate?

The Emperor of Eastern Qin seemed to see the doubts in Mu Qianxia's heart, and explained: "Ah Li's mother died early, and when I was young, I was busy with government affairs and cared a lot less about him, so that he suffered a lot when he was a child. Today's queen is at odds with Ah Li, so there is no need to invite her over to spoil the atmosphere on such an occasion. ”

Suffered a lot? Mu Qianxia couldn't help but think of Gu Li's childhood experience with her when he was in the princess's mansion, but he said at the time that he made it all up to deceive her, and laughed at her for taking such an outrageous story seriously, Mu Qianxia thought about it at the time and believed what Gu Li said, in her eyes, Gu Li didn't seem like the kind of lord who would be wronged. But now when he heard Emperor Dongqin say this, it seemed that what Gu Li said to her at that time was true, but how could he say it in such an understatement tone, and he even had a smile on his face at that time. Mu Qianxia couldn't help but look up at Gu Li, only to see Gu Li lowering his head and drinking, his eyelids drooping, and all the emotions under his eyes were restrained, making people completely unaware of what he was thinking.

The Emperor of Eastern Qin sighed lightly and said, "You see, although Ah Li looks like he is always smiling and groaning, his smile has never reached the bottom of his heart. Although he seems to be kind and approachable, his heart is harder than anyone else's, and anyone who has really been with him knows that he is actually extremely difficult to get along with, and his attitude and tone are tinged with a touch of detachment, making you feel like you have never reached his heart. Although I continued to make up for him later, I could still feel his inadvertent alienation. Hey, my health is getting worse now, and the only thing I can't worry about is him. Fortunately, you appeared, and I could see from the way he looked at you that he cared about you very much, that you were very important to him, and that I would be content to see him find someone he liked in my lifetime. I hope you can treat him well in the future and be by his side, he is not a person who is good at expressing his feelings, I hope you can be more considerate. When I see you getting married, I can rest assured, and I can go to his mother with peace of mind. His mother must have been lonely after waiting for me alone for so long, and I will be able to accompany her immediately. Speaking of the back, the emperor's eyes became extraordinarily soft, and the smile on the corner of his mouth unconsciously enlarged, and it could be seen that the emperor liked Gu Li's mother very much.

"Please rest assured that since Qianqian is married to the third prince, he will naturally not lose him." Mu Qianxia said softly.

"Okay, with your words, I'm relieved. Shallow, you are a good girl, it is not easy to be born in a royal family and still have such pure eyes. It seems that your father has protected you well. Mu Qianxia gave him the impression from the first glance that she was clean, pure, and there were not so many conspiracies, especially her pure and clear eyes, which could not deceive people. You know, if a person is immersed in intrigue and intrigue all year round, he will not have such eyes as her. No wonder Ah Li likes her, to people like them who have been wandering in power and intrigue all year round, and their hearts are always dark, the most envious of people like Mu Qianxia. She was like a light that illuminated their hearts and made them want to get closer.

"When I was a child, I was my father and mother, and when I grew up, I was the royal brother, they all protected me very well, the insidious darkness of the palace, the cruelty and cunning of the human heart have never been close to me, no matter what happens, they will handle it for me very well. It's all thanks to them that I'm as simple and clean as I am now. Mu Qianxia said softly. A sweet smile involuntarily hung on her face, and just one glance could make people feel that she was in a really good mood.

Mu Qianxia and the emperor of Eastern Qin chatted a lot during the meal, but Gu Li basically didn't open his mouth, sitting alone and pouring himself a drink, like an outsider.

After finishing the meal, Emperor Dongqin went back to the palace to rest, his body had just improved a lot, and it was not easy to talk to Mu Qianxia for so long. Mu Qianxia and Gu Li didn't bother much, so they said goodbye to the emperor of Eastern Qin.

Before leaving, the emperor suddenly said to Gu Li without a head: "Ah Li, Lao Jiu is coming back soon."

"Well, Erchen knows."

In the carriage back to the house, Mu Qianxia suddenly spoke: "Is it true that what you told me about your childhood experience in the princess's mansion at that time?"

"Does it matter if it's real or fake? It's all gone anyway, what's the use of caring about it now? Gu Li asked lightly.

yes, it's been so long, why is she still clinging to this answer? No matter what those things were, they must have caused a lot of damage to Gu Li in his childhood, and became an eternal scar in his heart, and his current character was formed at that time, right? It is precisely because he was injured when he was a child that when he grew up, he erected a hard wall, and people outside could not get in, and he could not get out inside.

"Why were you able to say it in such a breezy tone? How can you still laugh and tell me that what you just said is false, that you lied to me, and that you laughed at me for being deceived so easily?"

Gu Li didn't answer immediately, I don't know how long it took, just when Mu Qianxia thought that Gu Li wouldn't answer this question, Gu Li suddenly said, "Then what kind of tone should I use?" Pain, sadness, or weeping? What's the use of these? If someone who cares about you hears it, they will be distressed. If ordinary people hear it, they will be full of sympathy; If someone who doesn't care about you hears it, they will be cold and indifferent; If someone who hates you hears it, they will laugh out loud. All of the above is not what I expect, in this case, it is better to say it as an innocuous little thing, lest you have too many expectations and fail to accept the gap in reality. Because you will never know what kind of attitude the other person has towards you falling to the ground, and what kind of attitude they are holding to listen to you. ”

Mu Qianxia fell silent, I have to say, what Gu Li said is very reasonable, since he has nothing else to ask for any of this, what kind of attitude does it matter what kind of attitude he has when he speaks?

On the road behind, the two didn't say anything all the way.

…………

Medical Valley.

Mu Chenyi's body has fully recovered under Han Xiaomeng's careful care, even better than before, I have to say that the medical valley is really worthy of its reputation, even a little girl can have such a clever medical skill, if it is placed in the outside world, it is simply a miracle doctor in everyone's mouth.

With his handsome appearance, gentle expression, and approachable attitude, Mu Chenyi was unanimously loved by everyone in the Medical Valley, so everyone acquiesced to him for an outsider to stay in the Medical Valley.

The people in the medical valley are not as eccentric and difficult to get along with as described by the outside world, but they are enthusiastic and honest, simple and pure, which makes Gu Li, who has always been accustomed to all kinds of conspiracies, like it very much, and staying with such people for a long time, he feels that he has become much more relaxed, and he gradually fell in love here.

On this day, Han Xiaomeng asked Mu Chenyi to go up the mountain to pick herbs together, the herbs she had accumulated for many years were basically used up in order to treat Mu Chenyi's illness and condition her body.

Han Xiaomeng is very familiar with the mountain behind the medical valley, she doesn't know how many times she has been here, she is not as delicate as ordinary girls Climb up the mountain and move quickly, not losing to an adult man who has been running around all year round.

"Ah, it's finally here, and if you don't get it again, this girl will be tired to death, and it seems that she has to strengthen her exercise when she goes back." Han Xiaomeng stood aside with his waist thrust and panted.

Mu Chenyi looked at her girl-like behavior, and shook her head with a helpless smile.
