Chapter 85: Refusal to Marry
I have long heard that the princesses of Xiliang Nuguo are all beautiful like flowers, but now that I see them, I know that they are not just like flowers? It's as beautiful as a fairy when you see it!
"The emperor has won an award, and Wanwan is ashamed!" Gu Wanwan had a decent smile on her face, her words were as soft as possible, and she took out her princess style.
But when she raised her head and touched the old emperor's lustful gaze at her, she regretted it in her heart! I knew that this old emperor was not a good thing, and she only accepted a concubine in her twenties not long ago, so she shouldn't have behaved so well.
"Princess Wanwan is too modest, and the princess's appearance is incomparable to that of a fairy in the sky!" The old emperor looked at Gu Wanwan with a smile, and praised her beauty vigorously, and even when he took a seat, his eyes were still on Gu Wanwan, which made Gu Wanwan so embarrassed.
What to do? Why did she think the old man was going to eat herself? At his age, if he wants to marry him himself, it is really better to die!
At this time, the only one who could save her was Yan Wushuang, but when she looked back at Yan Wushuang, she saw that he was indifferent except for smiling with the old emperor.
What does it mean that he is acting like he is not concerned now? But he brought himself to this hellish place.
Just when Gu Wanwan was full of sorrow and didn't know how to deal with it, the queen arrived, which can be regarded as saving Gu Wanwan.
Everyone got up to pay homage to the queen, and the old emperor seemed to like the queen very much, so he took the queen's hand and let her sit beside her, and the two chatted.
Speaking of this queen, although she is Yan Wushuang's mother, her age does not look very old, and her words reveal the charm of a mature woman, so it is no wonder that she is still favored.
And he is also a very kind person, when he saw Gu Wanwan, he asked for warmth, and asked Yan Wushuang to take more care of Gu Wanwan. Gu Wanwan listened to it in her heart, and couldn't help but feel warm, she had no relatives, and when she arrived in this strange country alone, she felt that she was not used to anything, especially the fickle Yan Wushuang, which always made her scratch her head.
I didn't expect this queen to be so kind, and she felt like a mother treating her child.
What touched Gu Wanwan the most was the words that the queen said after the meal.
"Wanwan, Wang Er, he is a rough man, and he doesn't understand amorous feelings, if you have any heartfelt words or grievances in the future, you will enter the palace and tell the mourning family." As she spoke, the queen's maid had already presented a gold medal.
The queen handed the gold medal into Gu Wanwan's hands and said to her, "With this gold medal, you can enter and leave the palace at any time in the future." ”
"Thank you, Queen." Gu Wanwan leaned over and saluted, she was really grateful to the queen, and felt that the queen was really considerate of her! Even Yan Wushuang's bad attitude towards her, the queen knew that it was not the one who helped her count Yan Wushuang.
"No thanks, the Xiliang Women's Kingdom and the Nanyue Kingdom have intermarried for generations, and they have long been in-laws, and the mourning family should take care of you." The queen smiled lovingly.
Gu Wanwan was stunned, like being struck by lightning!
"Queen, what do you mean by ...... "Who are you going to marry her to?"
Gu Wanwan was still struggling to interpret the queen's words in her heart, but she didn't expect Yan Wushuang's emotionless voice to sound: "Queen Mother, don't make fun of Princess Wanwan!" ”
"The queen mother is not joking with Wanwan, Wanwan is so beautiful and moving, she can marry you as a princess, the queen mother is really happy!" The queen chuckled.
"What? Queen, are you going to marry me to Yan Wushuang? Gu Wanwan raised her head suddenly, and shook her head at the queen incessantly, "This can't be!" ”
Gu Wanwan's excited appearance made the smile on the queen's face stiffen: "What?" Wanwan, don't you want to marry King Yan? ”
"Yes, Queen, so you must not let me marry him!" Gu Wanwan said anxiously, for fear that her life's major events would be finalized by someone one step too late, and such a thing was absolutely unacceptable to her.
Maybe the answer she gave was too positive! So when she left, the queen's face had become not very good-looking, Yan Wushuang's was even more ugly, a handsome face was like an ice sculpture, and the cold air emanating from him could be felt from a distance.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, Yan Wushuang took the lead in the house, leaving Gu Wanwan and ignoring him.
Gu Wanwan led Bai Wutong back to the room, her expression was uneasy: "Bai Wutong, do you think I did this today?" ”
Bai Wutong raised his eyes and glanced at her, a pair of green eyes flashed with a dim light: "You can say it's wrong, you can also say it's right." ”
"What's the difference between what you say and what you don't?" Gu Wanwan rolled her eyes and glared at him dissatisfiedly, "I want to hear you tell the truth!" ”
Bai Wutong paused, and his lips opened slightly: "The Nanyue Kingdom and the Xiliang Women's Kingdom have intermarried for generations, and this rule has not changed for thousands of years since its establishment. But the princess's words in front of the queen today were undoubtedly to break this rule, and the queen was naturally unhappy. ”
Hearing Bai Wutong say this, Gu Wanwan was sure that she had really done something wrong. Thinking that the old emperor of Donglan Kingdom used her as a condition for exchanging peace between the two countries, and Nanyue Kingdom chose to save her and gave up the best chance to capture Donglan Kingdom, it can be seen how much the people of Nanlan value faith and righteousness, but now she says not to marry Yan Wushuang, it is simply crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, treachery.
The queen didn't blame her immediately, and Yan Wushuang didn't do anything to her, she was already very lenient.
Seeing her frowning and unhappy appearance, Bai Wutong sighed lightly: "Princess, you don't need to blame yourself, the princess's marriage should also be her own decision, and she should not be influenced by politics." ”
Gu Wanwan raised her eyes in surprise, but she didn't expect Bai Wutong to say this: "Don't you blame me?" ”
"What do you blame?" Bai Wutong chuckled, and there was a flow in his eyes, "Weichen only does two things in this life, one is to protect the princess, and the other is to make the princess happy!" ”
"Bai Wutong, you are so interesting!" Gu Wanwan was very happy to hear this, and slapped Bai Wutong on the shoulder, "Thank you for understanding me!" ”
In this dynasty where everything has to be followed by rules and cannot be crossed by half a step, it is really not easy to get a personal understanding of oneself. What's more, it is still like Bai Wutong, the person who has the closest relationship with her and the best to her, can get Bai Wutong's understanding, and she suddenly feels much more relaxed in her heart.
After Gu Wanwan's hand was withdrawn, Bai Wutong's eyes still fell on her shoulder, and she seemed to be able to feel the strength of her slap, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in her heart, and a smile was on the corner of her mouth.
In Yan Wushuang's study, although it was late at night, it was still brightly lit.
I really don't know what I'm busy with, and I don't sleep at such a late hour!
Gu Wanwan stood at the door, hesitating, still not having the courage to knock on the door. Every time she came to his study, she had to leave angrily, and the last time she went back, she had vowed never to come to this place again.
But she always felt that she should explain to Yan Wushuang, although Bai Wutong said that there was no need to explain, Yan Wushuang would not listen, but he gave up the opportunity to avenge his brother and save himself, but she regretted her marriage and refused to keep her promise, no matter what she said, it was her fault, she should apologize to Yan Wushuang.
Just as she was hesitating, Yan Wushuang's study door opened, and his tall and majestic body suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Yan Wushuang, I'm ......" Gu Wanwan was a little frightened, and spoke hesitantly, but she hadn't figured out how to tell him yet.
"What does Princess Wanwan want to say, you might as well say it bluntly!" Yan Wushuang looked at her condescendingly, his eyes as deep as the sea.
He called himself Princess Wanwan, that is, he was really angry! It's been like this lately, Yan Wushuang will call her that when he's angry.
"That...... When I was at the palace during the day, I didn't mean to. Gu Wanwan pondered how to apologize. She really didn't mean to say such heartless words, which made the queen and Yan Wushuang unhappy, but it was at that time, and she had to say what she wanted.
"Oh? So is it false to say that Princess Wanwan doesn't want to marry this king? Or do you want to marry this king? The corners of Yan Wushuang's mouth moved, and a smile was pulled, but there was mockery in his words.
"It's not! I don't want to marry you......" Gu Wanwan exhaled heavily, only to feel that there were a lot of words in her heart, and she was so overwhelmed that she couldn't breathe.
She can't be so suffocated anymore, or she will be suffocated to death by herself.
"Yan Wushuang, I'm grateful that you saved me at the beginning, but I can't be grateful for feelings, I can't marry you, please forgive me!" Gu Wanwan took a deep breath and poured out the words in her heart.
Actually, she didn't say much, but it seemed that saying these things had consumed a lot of her strength.
As soon as these words came out, the air fell silent again, and the atmosphere was too stiff to fail.
The late night in winter was as cold as water, and the wind was blowing at this time, and the chill hit her directly, Gu Wanwan really wanted to go back to the bed immediately. But it's too rude to apologize to someone and run away without waiting for someone to reply.
Gu Wanwan hugged her arms, she shrunk her neck coldly, and in the blink of an eye, Yan Wushuang had already stepped in front of her.
"Do you think this king wants to marry you?" The sound was as cold as ice, and the cold wind around it could not be compared.
Gu Wanwan raised his head in amazement, staring at Yan Wushuang, under the dim moonlight, his facial features were not clear, but he didn't seem to be angry.
So what does he mean by this to accept his apology?
Before Gu Wanwan could think about it, the icy voice sounded again: "But you don't want to marry this king so much, do you want to marry this king's father?" ”
What the? Gu Wanwan's jaw almost dropped in shock! You can't explain that way, can you? Gu Wanwan really wanted to tell Yan Wushuang that he had explained the mistake.
"The Xiliang Women's Kingdom must marry my Nanyue Kingdom, and this matter must not be changed! And your decision today is undoubtedly saying that you want to marry your father! ”
Harro has been in Donglan Country for a long time, but he has not come to the door for a long time, could it be that he has given up on retrieving the Qilin Fruit? Yun Luo shook her head when she thought about it, with what she knew about her brother, she would rather believe that Harro had other plans.
