Chapter 17 Night Visits
Hearing Lord Zhuo say that the prince was coming, Gu Huanyi subconsciously thought that it was Li Congxin, the prince of King Ming, but he didn't expect that this matter had changed, and it was the prince of Xian Wang.
The man who was in the prophetic letter that he would marry!
An extremely bad premonition emerged from Gu Huanyi's heart, as if there was a force pulling her towards the fate of the prophetic letter.
Li Chengxu, the son of King Xian, looked at her with interest.
The girl in front of me was dressed in a heavy filial piety, but she looked very delicate, with a pair of big black eyes on her thin face, and I felt pity. Let him not only think of the folk slang saying "If you want to be pretty, you must be filial".
He thought that the girl was nervous, so he smiled and took the initiative to say, "Miss Gu, this son heard about your family, please mourn." I came here this time to represent the emperor to comfort the Gu Jiajun and comfort the souls of the heroes. If you have any difficulties or requirements, just say it bluntly, if the court can help you solve it, I will definitely make decisions for you. ”
Gu Huanyi lowered his head, and after calming down, he said, "Emperor Xie and the prince of Xian Wang are merciful, and the little girl is grateful. This time I asked to see the son, and the little girl just wanted to thank her face to face, and there were no other requirements and difficulties. ”
Li Chengxu nodded, comforted her a few more words, and said a few words about the arrangements for the Yiyong Temple and the funeral ceremony, all of which were communicated between the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Gu Huanyi.
Gu Huanyi said very little, and after thanking him, he left.
Looking at her slender back, Li Chengxu asked Master Zhuo: "Is there no one in the Gu family except her?" ”
Lord Zhuo was more familiar with the situation, and replied: "Yes, except for Miss Gu, there are only some relatives left outside the five suits." Miss Gu doesn't like to associate with those people, and now she lives alone. ”
"Hmm." Li Chengxu pondered for a moment and said: "It's not easy for her to be alone, and this son should take care of one or two more in this life." ”
Lord Zhuo's face turned pale, and he suddenly remembered another prince who "cared for" Gu Huanyi, and hurriedly said: "However, Miss Gu's foreign family, the Emperor Jing Song family, still attaches great importance to her, and often sends people to visit. Xia Guan asked Miss Gu several times if she had any difficulties, but she refused, thinking that she didn't like to owe favors. ”
Li Chengxu smiled and said, "This is where Lord Zhuo doesn't understand the amorous feelings, she doesn't accept your kindness, it doesn't mean that she doesn't accept me, otherwise why does she have to see me?" ”
When he said this, Lord Zhuo couldn't take it anymore, so he had to lower his head and say yes.
Gu Huanyi's request to see the prince of Xian Wang was quickly reported to Li Congxin's ears.
He sat in a restaurant in Liangzhou, silent for a long time, and his face was gloomy and scary.
Liu Pei didn't know the reason, so he had to follow his own understanding, thinking that his master was jealous, so he said: "I heard that it was just a cup of tea, and there were other officials present, and Miss Gu didn't say anything special to Cheng Xu Shizi." ”
Li Congxin doesn't know how much to regret now.
At the beginning, the emperor wanted to pick someone to supervise the funeral of the Yiyong Temple, he was worried that Gu Huanyi would be involved with him again, and she would be involved in the affairs of the imperial capital, so in order to avoid her, he pushed off the errand, and only said that it was enough for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to handle the matter.
But when Li Chengxu heard about it, he took the initiative to ask Ying, and it was too late for him to stop it.
Li Chengxu wanted to come to Liangzhou, but he was not at ease after all, so he took someone out of Beijing and quietly came to see Gu Huanyi.
He once hinted at the officials of Liangzhou and pointed out the people in the Ministry of Rites, everyone knew that Gu Huanyi was his person, so no one dared to push Gu Huanyi in front of Li Chengxu.
But he didn't expect that Gu Huanyi bumped into it by himself.
Realizing that some things can't be changed as easily as he wants, Li Congxin has more worries.
If Gu Huanyi is destined to be unable to avoid all kinds of things in his previous life, then he must protect people tightly in front of him.
Sighing, he got up and said, "Lead the way, let's go to Deshanfang." ”
Gu Huanyi returned home from the official office, threw himself on the bed depressedly, and beat the pillow a few times angrily.
How so?
It's just that I didn't see Li Congxin, why did I come to be the son of King Xian?
Since reading the prophecy letter, Gu Huanyi has hated the arrangement of "fate" very much.
She didn't go to the capital, but he came to Liangzhou, was it really fate?
In the evening of the same day, a series of powerful knocks knocked on the door of the courtyard of the Xiaogu Mansion in Deshanfang.
Mama Miao happily came to report: "Miss, the son of the world is here!" ”
Gu Huanyi immediately panicked: "What is he doing here?" Let's just say that I am not feeling well, and it is inconvenient to meet customers! ”
Mama Miao was surprised: "Oh, Miss, the prince has a great favor in our family, and a few days ago we gave the Mid-Autumn Festival gift, let's close the door to thank the guests, isn't it good?" ”
Gu Huanyi stammered and asked, "What Mama said, is it...... Who is it...... Which son? ”
Mama Miao didn't know about the prince of Xian, and said confusedly: "Who else can it be, the prince of Mingwang." ”
Gu Huanyi immediately ran to the front yard.
In front of the corner gate, she slowed down, took a few deep breaths, and walked steadily forward.
Li Congxin wore a wide black cloak, and his face was hidden under his hat.
He stood in the courtyard, looking around at the small and delicate courtyard.
This yard is really small, but there are a lot of things in it.
An osmanthus tree is planted in one corner, which is fragrant, and there is an arrow target hanging on the wall in one corner, and there are wooden figures erected next to it, and there are several large wine tanks in one corner.
He took a few steps towards the large wine vat, and was about to smell it, when he heard a crisp voice behind him: "Shizi, please come into the house and sit!" ”
Gu Huanyi shouted at him a little nervously, and didn't want him to stand in the garden for a moment.
This small courtyard is just a place where she lives alone, and she doesn't want to live in a big empty yard, so she buys it very small.
Now seeing Li Congxin "condescending" standing here, she is a little embarrassed.
"When I moved out of the General's Mansion, there were too many things at home, so the yard was a little messy......"
Li Congxin didn't answer her words, just looked at her.
Gu Huanyi wears filial piety, wears a white jacket and a white skirt, and is very plain.
But it's just too plain, it seems that she is very thin, and even a little weak.
Gu Huanyi was panicked by him, broke the silence and said, "Why did you come suddenly?" I heard that this time it was the prince of Xianwang who came to supervise the construction of the Yiyong Temple, I thought it was you, but I didn't expect to make a mistake......"
Li Congxin's brows were relieved, and he asked, "You think it's me, that's why you went to see Li Chengxu?" ”
Gu Huanyi paused, guessing that Li Chengxu was probably the name of the prince of Xianwang, so he nodded.
But I was surprised that I only went to see the prince of Xian Wang in the morning, how did Li Congxin know?
Li Congxin's mood improved, and he asked, "Since you are looking for me, what is the matter?" ”
His voice was steady and gentle, which made Gu Huanyi breathe a sigh of relief.
"First, I want to thank the prince in person, and secondly, I have confusion in my heart and want to ask the prince ......."
