Chapter 11 The capital of Eastern Qin is His Royal Highness the Third Prince
Since that day, Gu Li seems to be very busy, and the two rarely have the opportunity to meet, but both of them have a tacit understanding and don't mention what happened that night, but the relationship between the two of them is in a very delicate relationship, which is no different from the past in Mu Qianxia's eyes, but it has become different in the eyes of others.
"Princess, did something happen between you and Childe?" Shuo Feng suddenly asked one day when he got off the carriage in Mu Qianxia.
"Why do you ask?" Mu Qianxia asked without answering.
"Childe has been a little different since that day, and he's been desperately trying to find something to do for himself lately. In the past, those little things were handled by our subordinates, but now Gongzi handles them all by himself, so that many of us are panicked for a while. Moreover, the subordinates have followed Childe for many years, and there are almost no people and things that can affect Childe's emotions, so the subordinates dare to guess if something happened between you and Childe. Shuofeng explained.
No wonder since that day she felt that Gu Li had become so busy, she thought that there was something important for him to deal with personally, but she didn't expect that he just wanted to get busy. She hadn't said anything about that night, and he was embarrassed to face her. Thinking of this, Mu Qianxia couldn't help but chuckle, she couldn't imagine that Gu Li still had such a youthful side.
Shuo Feng saw Mu Qianxia standing there alone and smirking, the whole person was even more confused, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Princess, what's wrong with you?" Did a subordinate say something wrong? ”
Mu Qianxia restrained her smile and said, "It doesn't matter about you." Why do you think I can influence Gu Li's emotions? ”
"Childe is different from others to you after all, his subordinates have been with Childe for so many years, and I have never seen him care about any woman, even the little junior sister Childe who grew up with Childe is as humble and polite as a stranger. Childe, you are the first person your subordinates have ever met, and Childe really cares. Childe is always a gentle and elegant look, although Childe always has a smile like a spring breeze on his face, but the smile never reaches the bottom of his heart, and that smile is just a means to pull in the relationship with people. Childe seems to be kind and close, but in fact he is indifferent and detached, and no one or anything can reach the bottom of his heart. But since you appeared, Princess, Childe has begun to become different, he will be worried, angry, and emotional, and he is no longer the person who is high up and only dares to watch from a distance and dare not play with it. "Shuofeng said truthfully.
I don't know if Childe's change is good or bad for him, but for him, it's exactly what he expected. Childe has too much to bear, and Childe has too high requirements for himself, but he hopes that Childe will not live so tired, and be able to laugh, get angry, and be sad like ordinary people, instead of becoming an emotionless person. If a person has no feelings, how can he be called a human being?
"Heh," Mu Qianxia sneered, "But didn't he still use me, let me be sent to prison, let me lose my most important relative, and let me get to such a point?"
"Princess, don't blame Childe, Childe is also involuntarily. When he reached the position of Childe, he was no longer alone, and there were countless people behind him who were closely related to him, one was prosperous and one was lost. Therefore, even if Childe is unwilling and helpless, he can't ignore others because of his own wishes...... "In fact, he sometimes feels very sorry for Childe, because the burden on his shoulders makes him unable to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of life like ordinary people."
Before Shuo Feng could finish speaking, Mu Qianxia interrupted: "You don't have to say it, I understand all the truths you said, Gu Li and I are in two different camps, both for the interests of our own country, and seek their own government in their positions, if it were me, I would do the same as him." Although my intellect was clear and told me that I was not to blame him, I had no way to convince myself in my heart that I could not blame him. You know?"
Shuofeng nodded.
"Alright, you stand down. You go and tell your brothers, and say that nothing has happened, that everything is as it was before, so that they don't have to worry and panic all day long. Mu Qianxia said softly.
"Yes, the subordinates retired." Shuofeng bowed his head and bowed before leaving.
It's just that when they didn't know it, Gu Li listened to the whole process of their conversation behind the carriage, and laughed at himself: She, after all, still blames him. Obviously, he told himself more than once that this result was doomed from the beginning, and he just needed to get used to it, but whenever he heard what Mu Qianxia said in person, his chest would still be stuffy, and his heart would still hurt involuntarily.
…………
Eastern Qin, the capital.
After four days of tiring travel, Mu Qianxia finally arrived in the capital of Eastern Qin.
The city wall is tall and solid, stretching for 30 miles, the wall base is 14 meters wide, the wall is 14-21 meters high, the inside is rammed earth, and the outside is wrapped with blue bricks, and the whole capital is completely wrapped in it. Outside the city, a moat was built for military defense, and the moat flowed quietly around the city walls. The gates, which are about 8 meters high, are wide open in normal times, and the drawbridge is lowered to allow people to enter and exit.
Gu Li sat in the carriage and entered the city with Mu Qianxia. Since they were secretly returning to Beijing this time, they took a very ordinary carriage, which was not unique to the Three Princes' Mansion. Mu Qianxia came to the capital of Eastern Qin for the first time, and couldn't help but open the curtain of the window curiously and look out.
Wander around the bustling street casually, and your feet are light. In front of and behind him are the faces of the Eastern Qin people, who are either long, elegant, fresh, or sophisticated, the carriages and horses are sparkling, the flow of people is like weaving, and there is a faint penetrating shout of the traders not far away, and occasionally there is a long neighing of horses. The brilliant sunlight sprinkled between the green tiles and red walls everywhere, the abrupt horizontal cornices, the high fluttering shop signboard flags, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the tranquil and comfortable smiling faces, all reflect the self-satisfaction of the people of the Eastern Qin Dynasty for the prosperous era.
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, Mu Qianxia's hand loosened, and the curtain was blown up by the wind, revealing Gu Li's figure.
I don't know who in the crowd shouted: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Third Prince!" No matter what everyone was doing or what they were saying, they all stopped at this moment, looking at the carriage they were in like Mu Qianxia.
And the gust of wind just now has disappeared, and the curtain is falling slowly, but there are still sharp-eyed people who saw Gu Li's figure at the last moment when the curtain fell, although they didn't see the face clearly, but just a silhouette can be recognized by everyone at a glance. Because in this world, there is absolutely no second person who can have such a grace as Gu Li, just by virtue of a figure can make people crazy, and can turn sentient beings upside down.
Someone in the crowd began to shout excitedly: "The person in the carriage is really His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
Someone was screaming: "Oh my God, I actually saw His Royal Highness the Third Prince, I'm not dreaming, right?"
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is also too handsome, how can there be such a perfect man in this world, just one figure is so charming. If I could just see the face, I would rather exchange my life for it, even if it is only for one eye, and I will die without regrets. A woman said excitedly.
“……”
All kinds of voices came, even if Mu Qianxia was sitting in the carriage, she could hear it clearly. She raised her eyes to look at Gu Li, still as calm and calm as usual, as if she had long been used to it. Even if the voice outside clearly came into his ears, there was no half-point look on his face, making it impossible to figure out what was going on in his heart.
Mu Qianxia pursed her lips, secretly lifted the curtain and looked out at a corner, and found that the street where they were located was already overcrowded, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was an empty alley. This reminded Mu Qianxia of the scene when some popular stars were picked up by fans at the airport in her previous life. It's just that these people didn't block the carriage, but stood on both sides of the road in an orderly manner, and the other carriages pulled aside to give way to Mu Qianxia's carriage where they were. Tut-tut, I can't see it, Gu Li's status in the hearts of the people is so high.
Mu Qianxia saw with her own eyes that a woman fainted with excitement. Didn't you just know that Gu Li was in this carriage, and she could faint with excitement without even seeing her face, if she saw her true face, would the woman be directly excited to death? Although she admitted that Gu Li was quite good-looking and had an excellent temperament to say nothing, she never thought that his charm would be so great.
"Gu Li, just now a woman fainted because of your excitement." Mu Qianxia couldn't help but say to Gu Li. Although the relationship between the two of them is now a little more restored than before, this is the first time that Mu Qianxia has taken the initiative to talk to Gu Li in so long.
"Hmm." Gu Li hummed lightly.
"That's it, gone? Shouldn't you be thrilled? But there was a woman who fainted because of you, and the point is that the woman hadn't even seen your face yet. Mu Qianxia emphasized.
"I know." Gu Li said lightly. As if it were just a trivial matter.
"Princess, this is a very normal thing, and we are not surprised. Although our son rarely appears in front of everyone because of his frailty, and only a handful of people have seen him, this does not affect the people's love for him. Every time our son-in-law goes out of the house, it will be this kind of situation where thousands of people are empty, and our son-in-law has always been mysterious, so in this Dongqin, as long as it is a woman, she loves our son. Shuofeng explained outside the carriage.
"Princess, I don't know how many women envy you if you can marry our son." Shuo Feng teased with rare boldness.
"Huh." Mu Qianxia laughed dryly twice, and decisively shut up.
The carriage drove all the way to the Three Princes' Mansion unimpeded.
