Chapter 161: To each his own
Until she was personally sent back to Yingyue Mansion by Nangong Xuanyi, Gu Yanran was still in a trance.
She didn't expect Nangong Xuanyi to ask the monarch for a decree, saying that he wanted to marry her as the second princess.
Nangong Xuanyi took Gu Yanran's hand and took her to the pavilion on the rockery in the atrium of Yingyue Mansion.
The two sat down facing each other.
Nangong Xuanyi's first sentence was only two words. "I'm sorry."
“…… What the? Gu Yanran didn't know why Nangong Xuanyi apologized.
"The concubine banquet is inevitable, and I can only make this decision." Nangong Xuanyi said apologetically.
Gu Yanran is so smart, how can she not hear the meaning of Nangong Xuanyi's words?
Gu Yanran's heart was cold. “…… Is it the next step to ask for marriage? ”
She guessed that the marriage was not his intention, but she didn't expect it...... It turned out that she was just making a decision.
Nangong Xuanyi didn't see Gu Yanran's emotions, and said to himself. "I have only returned to the imperial city not long ago, the position in the court is unstable, and the crown prince is restrained everywhere, so my father came up with a method of choosing a concubine in order to let me have supporters in the court. But I really don't want to marry a side concubine, that's why I ......"
"That's why you personally sent me a post, asking me to go to your concubine selection banquet, and then ask the monarch to give me to you as a concubine in front of everyone?" Gu Yanran lowered her eyes, hiding the surging waves at the bottom of her eyes.
Nangong Xuanyi thought that Gu Yanran was still angry, and couldn't help but be a little flustered. "I'm sorry, it's me who is bad. It's me who made my own claim, and I also took advantage of you, if you can't be angry, you can scold me or beat me, I promise not to scold back, I don't fight back, just ask you to forgive me, don't be angry with me. ”
"I'm not angry." Gu Yanran will never be angry with him, she just needs to calm down. "You go back today, I want to be alone for a while, something ...... I still need to think about it. ”
"No, I'm not going back!" Nangong Xuanyi plays with a child's temperament. "When I go back, you don't know how angry you will be!"
Gu Yanran was silent and solemnly emphasized. "I'm not angry."
"How can you not be angry?!" Nangong Xuanyi felt that Gu Yanran was being strong. "I know I went too far, but I don't regret it."
Gu Yanran did not comment. "......" The holy decree has been issued, even if you want to regret it, it is useless.
"Actually, I didn't want to drag you into the water at first, but looking at it, the only person in the entire Yeyu country who is worthy of my trust is you." Nangong Xuanyi paused for a moment before continuing. "We've only known each other for a short time, but I can see that you have a crush on me. I need a wife who will never betray me in this life, and since you have a good impression of me, I will allow you to be the sole pet for the rest of your life, and we can take what we need. ”
"Huh." The corners of Gu Yanran's lips were filled with bitterness. "Good one, each according to his needs."
Nangong Xuanyi found that Gu Yanran's tone was wrong, and hurriedly explained. "No, no, I didn't mean that, I meant ...... Although we can take what we need, but what I said in the palace banquet hall today is sincere, a lifetime and a couple, I will only be with you in this life, and I will only be good to you, ah no, I will not only be good to you, but also to your family, we will have children in the future, I will also be very good to our children, I ......"
"Poof." Gu Yanran was amused by Nangong Xuanyi's helpless appearance.
Nangong Xuanyi was slightly stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously. You smiled...... Aren't you angry? ”
Gu Yanran was also helpless. "I've repeated it several times, I'm not angry."
“…… Really not angry? Nangong Xuanyi still couldn't help but doubt.
"I'm not angry! It's really really not angry! Gu Yanran repeatedly said that she was really not angry.
Nangong Xuanyi exclaimed as if he had found something really similar. "And say you're not angry?! You're glaring at me! You're glaring at me! ”
Gu Yanran was speechless and looked at the sky. ......What should I do if I want to hit someone?
"You're impatient with me! You're rolling my eyes! Nangong Xuanyi looked at Gu Yanran aggrievedly.
Gu Yanran really couldn't bear it. "Get out, get out of here, don't appear in front of me today, or I'll show you what it means to be really angry!"
……
……
By the time Gu Yanran successfully drove Nangong Xuanyi away, it was already half an hour later.
"It's finally quiet." It was the first time that Gu Yanran was so impatient with Nangong Xuanyi.
Such a big thing happened today, she needed to calm down and think about it by herself, but she was made to cry and laugh by Nangong Xuanyi's unreasonable trouble.
And it was only now that she finally had time to think about things.
He asked the monarch for a decree of marriage, and begged her to be his only wife.
The monarch's decree has been made, and she and he are rightfully unmarried.
To choose a good day and an auspicious day, as soon as the marriage banquet is held, she Gu Yanran is the princess of Nangong Xuanyi.
This is her dream, and it is also her biggest long-cherished wish in life after being reborn, and she is about to come true, but why can't she be happy?
Is it to blame him for his own assertions? Or is he angry that he took advantage of her?
No, she didn't blame him for making his own decisions, nor was she angry at his exploitation, as long as it could help him, she wouldn't mind anything.
She's ...... I don't like his phrase 'to each according to his needs'.
She originally thought that it would be enough for her to accompany him for the rest of her life after she was reborn, but the words 'each according to his needs' made her completely sober.
It turns out that she not only wants to be with her for a lifetime, but also wants his favor, his like, and his love.
She is very greedy, so greedy that she wants to monopolize everything he has, and even wants to monopolize every inch of time that belongs to him from now on.
Is it an exclusive desire......
"No, no, it's not exclusivity." Gu Yanran shook her head and denied the idea. "I guess it's my obsession."
After she was reborn, she always wanted to marry him, perhaps it was because of this obsession that she had the idea of wanting to monopolize him.
Gu Yanran didn't know how long she was stunned, and then she saw the perilla who came with a teapot.
"Girl." Zi Su blessed Gu Yanran, and then replaced the pot of tea on the table that had already cooled with a new teapot. "The slave maid has re-brewed a pot of hot tea for you, so you can take a few sips while it's hot."
Gu Yanran looked at Zi Su and suddenly asked. "Shisu, what should you do if you have the obsession of monopolizing one person?"
Shisu was silent for a moment before replying. "I'm sorry, girl, the slave doesn't like anyone, and I don't know what to do in this situation."
"Wait." Gu Yanran grasped the first point in Zisu's words. "You say...... Is this like? ”
