Chapter 151: A Gentleman's Friend

At night, there is a cool breeze.

Xie Shiyun sat in the small attic of the tavern in a plain white dress.

Her slightly thin figure reflects the bustling downtown downstairs, drinking alone, and it is inevitable that she will be a little lonely.

With a "squeak", Gou Qiancheng pushed the door in, and saw Qianying sitting in the attic at a glance.

"You're here." Xie Shiyun took out another wine glass, filled it by herself, and put it on the table on the opposite side.

Gou Qiancheng stepped forward and drank it all. The bitter and spicy taste fills the mouth. But he didn't let him taste it, mellow sweetness.

"Today's events are really a bit abrupt." Although she has a noble title, there will not be any man who fights for her.

"Today, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, I expressed my heart. I just want to prove to you that my words are true. ”

As soon as the words fell, Gou Qiancheng held Xie Shiyun's hand with a firm face, but was pulled out by the other party without a trace.

Her expression was faint, and she couldn't see emotion.

"This palace and you are just gentlemen's friends. I hope I can know the sense of proportion, and don't say unnecessary things in the court. Xie Shiyun's deliberately detached tone couldn't be more obvious.

Gou Qiancheng smiled bitterly, clutched the wine glass, and drank again.

In fact, he should have expected such a result, but he didn't believe it and wanted to give himself a chance.

"Don't leave it at that." The two of them touched their glasses lightly, making a nice crisp sound.

"Okay."

Gou Qiancheng watched Xie Shiyun take a drink boldly, and for some reason, he felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart.

Her chic, he never had.

The next day, Gou Qiancheng prepared to bring the envoy back to China.

According to etiquette, before leaving, he had to enter the palace in person to say goodbye to Emperor An He.

"Third prince, I heard you mention the idea of having a kiss yesterday, Shiyun can't do it, it's better for me to marry the fourteenth princess to you." Emperor An He had a small calculation in his heart, it was a good thing for the two countries to be close to each other, how could he easily miss the opportunity.

Besides, Chu Jing'er is gentle and virtuous, and marrying into another country will inevitably leave a good impression on them.

Gou Qiancheng clasped his hands into fists, saluted respectfully, and apologized.

"Your Majesty, the twisted melon is not sweet, not to mention that the fourteenth princess has never crossed paths with me, so the gain outweighs the loss."

Seeing Gou Qiancheng's euphemistic refusal, An He Di sighed leisurely and went with him.

It's a good affair and a kiss.,Just say no, no.,It's a pity to think about it now.。

Xie Shiyun stood on top of the city gate, watched the convoy in the distance drift away, flicked his long sleeves, and turned to leave.

The appearance of Gou Qiancheng is just a small episode. And the so-called competition is unknown.

Soon, Xie Shiyun and the third male held an engagement ceremony as scheduled.

That night, the palace was lit up with lights, and it was happy.

Xie Shiyun was wearing a red wedding dress, the hem of the skirt was inlaid with small pearls, and under the light of the candlelight, the faint halo was alone.

"It's really a talented woman, a match made in heaven." The civil and military officials sitting at the bottom, every word you say to me, the praise that fell on Shen Sijun's ears was inexplicably harsh.

Today is her big day, and she should be happy.

He sat alone in the corner, picked up a jug of wine, and drank it cup by glass, feeling depressed.

Others are staggered, talking and laughing, and they have nothing to do with him.

"This Lord Shangshu really did good deeds and accumulated virtue in his last life, so that he could marry Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Presumably, the future children have a bright future."

Shen Sijun didn't want to listen, those so-called sycophants.

Finally waiting for the banquet to disperse, Shen Sijun silently withdrew, picked up a pot of wine, and staggered out of the palace gate.

That night, he didn't know how long he had drunk before he numbed his low mood.

Once a general, he has never had such a frustrated moment in his life.

Who would have thought that it was planted in the hands of a woman?

He staggered and wandered through the empty streets, and a man who accidentally ran into a passing man shook his body and fell drunk to the side.

"Stinky boy, don't you walk long?" The big man is fat and strong, and the two horizontal flesh on his belly tremble, and he looks like a character who is not easy to mess with.

Shen Sijun barely stood up, opened his eyes slightly, and the big man reflected in his eyes unconsciously became two.

"What? Looking for a fight? He was not afraid of the big man's warning, and with a drunken tone, he tried to provoke the other party's patience.

The big man was furious, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him into the air.

Shen Sijun did not resist and let the big man punch him.

After being beaten a few times in succession, Shen Sijun did not have a trace of wailing, but laughed.

The creepy smile, reflecting the strange atmosphere of the night, suddenly made the big man's heart tremble, thinking that he had touched something terrible.

"What a bad luck!" He scolded in his mouth, and as soon as his hand was released, Shen Sijun threw it back to the ground.

In the middle of the night, Chu Jing'er walked on the empty street with a basket in her hand.

Inadvertently, she found a gorgeously dressed man, lying on the side of the road. Curious, she took a closer look and smelled the other party's wine.

"It turned out to be drunk." She muttered to herself, half-crouched down, and looked at the handsome face.

The white cheeks were left with two faint blushes. Despite frowning, the resolute facial features couldn't help but make Chu Jing'er obsessed.

"This son, wake up."

In the middle of the night, it is not safe to lie alone on the road. She thought that it would be better to wake him up and let him go home no matter what.

Shen Sijun opened his eyes in a daze, and vaguely saw a woman squatting in front of him.

He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, looked again, and suddenly realized that it was Xie Shiyun.

"Today is your big day, how could it be here." He curled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, pondering that he was hallucinating when he was drunk.

Perhaps, now he can only pour out his feelings that have been buried in his heart for a long time in this way.

There are some things that he may never say to that person again for the rest of his life.

"Yes, I like you. I don't know where to start...... Maybe the first time we met. He said drunk words in his mouth, and reached out to suddenly hold Chu Jing'er's wrist.

He looked at Chu Jing'er affectionately, not realizing at all that he was pouring out his love to another woman he didn't know.

Who would want Shen Sijun, who is usually indifferent to others, to show this posture in front of others.

"I know it's too late for me to say this, but so what."

He lowered his eyes in a dejected manner, and the force of his grip on Chu Jing'er's wrist became tighter and tighter, as if it was crushed alive, making her feel pain.

"Childe, you're scratching me." Chu Jing'er grinned in pain, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand.

However, there is a huge disparity in strength between men and women, and no matter how hard she tries, she can't break free.

In desperation, she had no choice but to cater to Shen Sijun and relieve his excitement as much as possible.
