Chapter Ninety-One: Actions Speak Otherwise
Gu Tingyu and Leng Shuang took a carriage to the palace, and the road was unimpeded, and they soon came to the imperial study.
In the imperial study, the emperor is reviewing the recitals.
Seeing Gu Tingyu coming over with cold frost, the emperor frowned slightly and put down the fold in his hand.
"Yu'er, you're here." There was kindness in the Emperor's tone.
Gu Tingyu nodded, and then knelt down with Cold Frost and saluted.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, see Imperial Brother."
"Excuse me, give me a seat."
After Gu Tingyu thanked him, he pulled the cold frost and sat down on the chair.
"You've been in the house all these days?" The emperor asked.
"Brother Hui, yes." Gu Tingyu replied.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and continued, "I heard yesterday that you were sick again, how do you feel now?"
"Thank you for your concern, my brother is fine, just rest for two days." Gu Tingyu replied.
"Oh? Is this illness serious? Do you need a doctor's treatment? The emperor then asked.
"No need, my brother has already recovered."
"Oh? Is it? How did I hear that you are seriously ill?" The emperor didn't seem to give up and continued to ask.
Gu Tingyu paused for a moment, and then said, "Brother Huang misunderstood, the younger brother just occasionally felt cold."
The emperor's face showed a hint of sudden realization, then he smiled and continued to ask, "Now that you have been cured of your illness, when do you plan to get married?"
"The younger brother is looking for a suitable candidate. Gu Tingyu replied.
"Oh? Is that what you like? γ
"The younger brother has already taken a fancy to a candidate, and he can get married immediately as long as his parents agree." Gu Tingyu said unabashedly.
"Oh? Who do you like? γ
Gu Tingyu didn't hide it, and said, "Nanxi Yan, the eldest daughter of the Beihou of Nanxi Country Town.
"Zhenbei Hou Mansion?" The emperor frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "Yu'er, as far as I know, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is not loyal and good for generations. You have to think twice. γ
Gu Tingyu hooked his thin lips, chuckled, and said, "Brother Huang, although the Zhenbei Hou Mansion has been an official for generations, they are not considered to be heinous. On the contrary, Nanxi Yannai is the only concubine of the Marquis of Zhenbei, gentle and virtuous, with a beautiful appearance, and can be called the first beauty in the capital.
Moreover, the younger brother has already married a baby with the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. The Zhenbei Marquis and his wife have always been fond of their younger brothers, how can the lifelong happiness of the younger brothers be damaged because of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion? γ
After listening to Gu Tingyu's words, the emperor fell into silence.
Gu Tingyu's words are true, Zhenbei Houfu is indeed an extremely good candidate.
However, as the prince of the royal family, he must be thoughtful.
"This matter is put on hold for now, and I will consider it for a few days." The emperor finally made a decision.
Gu Tingyu arched his hand and said, "Brother Huang is wise."
The Emperor waved his hand and motioned for him to step down.
Gu Tingyu answered, and left the imperial study with cold frost.
In the carriage, Gu Tingyu held Leng Shuang's hand and said softly, "Shuang'er, are you willing to marry me?"
Leng Shuang was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at Gu Tingyu, his eyes full of shock.
"Your Highness, were you serious about what you just said?" Cold Frost's voice trembled, asking in disbelief.
Gu Tingyu nodded and said affirmatively, "Well, it's serious."
As soon as his words fell, Leng Shuang threw himself into his arms and hugged Gu Tingyu tightly.
At this moment, Leng Shuang was excited, and the heart that was originally hanging finally settled down.
During these days, she was worried about Gu Tingyu all day long, afraid that he would suddenly propose to dissolve the marriage contract, and even kill herself.
She was really scared.
Now she can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and she can finally keep this marriage.
Gu Tingyu lowered his head, stroked his cold hair, and his eyes flashed
Warm glow.
After Leng Shuang and Gu Tingyu returned to King Chen's mansion, they instructed the maid to prepare hot water.
The two washed up, and the cold cream lay on the bed, tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep.
A picture came to her mindβ
The man sat in front of the windowsill, his back was as tall as a pine, handsome and extraordinary. He holds a brush in his right hand and a scroll in his left.
Every quarter of an hour, he would stop and stare at the book in his hand.
Suddenly, there was the sound of birds chirping outside the window.
The man slowly stood up, walked to the window, reached out and pushed it open, and then looked out.
Outside the window, the leaves rustle and the air is fresh and pleasant.
The man withdrew his gaze, turned and sat down at the dresser, picked up the wooden comb, and carefully combed his hair.
Leng Shuang sat on the bed, her eyes staring at the man's side face, her eyes obsessed.
After a short time, the man packed up and walked out of the room.
Leng Shuang hurriedly put on his shoes and walked out.
When she ran out of the door, she happened to bump into the man's arms.
Leng Shuang hurriedly stood firm, raised his head in a little panic, but happened to meet the man's deep eyes.
Leng Shuang was startled, quickly lowered his head, and called respectfully, "Lord Wang."
"Hmm." Gu Tingyu replied and didn't linger long.
Leng Shuang stood in the courtyard, looking at the figure that was gradually moving away, and his heart was pantothenic.
Whether he marries himself or not, he will never treat her as his wife.
Maybe it's because she's annoying him!
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Cold Frost's mind, and before he knew it, he was already in tears.
At this time, how can I know that Gu Tingyu married her not just because of her appearance.
Gu Tingyu never thought that one day, she would become her titular princess. β¦β¦
At night, the moonlight pours down like water.
Cold Frost leaned against the window, quietly admiring the bright full moon.
The moonlight spread like a veil on the roof, reflecting on her delicate and fair face, which looked more and more hazy and beautiful.
Cold Frost was enjoying the relish when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Cold Frost turned around and opened the door.
A maidservant carries a tray with plates of pastries and teacups.
The maidservant bowed slightly, put her things on the table, and then took her leave.
Cold Frost brought the pastry to the table and took a piece of pastry and ate it at random.
This pastry tastes good, sweet and crunchy, and very fragrant.
After eating the pastry and drinking a bowl of tea, Leng Shuang was ready to rest.
But before he could get to the bed, there was another knock on the door.
Leng Shuang frowned suspiciously, thinking to himself who it would be at such a late hour?
"Frost, are you sleeping?" Gu Tingyu asked outside the door.
Cold Frost hesitated, then opened the door.
Gu Tingyu is still wearing a purple brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and his face is like a crown of jade, with outstanding abundance and extraordinary handsomeness.
Cold Frost's cheeks instantly flushed, and he hung his head shyly.
The corners of Gu Tingyu's mouth raised slightly, and he asked with a smile, "Why do you have this expression?"
"Slaves and maids see the king." Leng Shuang hurriedly knelt down.
"Excuse me." Gu Tingyu said lightly and walked straight to the house.
Leng Shuang got up and followed Gu Tingyu into the house, then poured a cup of tea for Gu Tingyu and handed it to him.
Gu Tingyu took a sip of Leng Shuang's tea, put it back on the table, looked at Leng Shuang and said, "Shuang'er, this king came to you today to ask you what style of dowry you like."
Gu Tingyu's tone was extremely gentle, as if he was treating a girl in love.
The roots of Cold Frost's ears instantly turned red, and she said, "Lord Wang, slaves don't need any dowry."
Gu Tingyu chuckled lightly and asked, "Isn't Shuang'er being shy?"
"Slave ......" Cold Frost bit her lower lip in shame and didn't speak.
Gu Tingyu smiled and said, "Fool, you are the princess of this king, and it is natural for this king to give you a dowry gift."
"But...... The slave and maid were born humbly, and are not worthy of the king."
Leng Shuang said sincerely and seriously, and his eyes were slightly red, as if tears were about to fall in the next second.
"What nonsense are you talking about, there is no woman I Gu Tingyu fancy that I don't deserve."
Gu Tingyu said loudly.
Cold Frost's eyes were red, and he was speechless with emotion.
Gu Tingyu continued: "This king has already ordered someone to invite the master of Qin Tianjian to divinate for us today, and we will only wait for two days to choose a good day and an auspicious day to get married."
When Leng Shuang heard this, he was both happy and uneasy.
"Lord Wang, can we really be together?" Cold Frost couldn't help but ask.
Gu Tingyu hooked his lips and smiled, and the answer was very firm.
"I, Gu Tingyu, will only have one princess in my life, there is no doubt about it." Gu Tingyu said domineeringly.
He paused for a moment, and then said, "No matter what others say about you, just follow this king, and this king will prove everything with his actual actions."
A warmth welled up in Cold Frost's heart, and her eyes moistened.
Cold Frost sniffed and forced himself not to cry.
"Thank you, Lord Wang."
Gu Tingyu smiled and said, "Rest quickly, this king will leave first."
"Hmm." Leng Shuang replied softly, and then watched Gu Tingyu leave.
Early the next morning, after Leng Shuang woke up, Gu Tingyu had already left Chen Moxuan.
After washing up with cold cream, I changed my clothes and prepared to go out for morning exercise.
But before she walked out of Chen Moxuan, she saw Mother Liu walking towards her.
Mother Liu's face was full of smiles, and she said to Leng Shuang with a smile: "Miss Leng Shuang, you are up, the old lady specially explained yesterday that she will ask the kitchen to make bird's nest porridge for you today, and you can dine now."
Leng Shuang was stunned, she didn't expect that her grandmother would pay attention to her affairs.
Leng Shuang bowed his head lightly and said to Liu's mother, "There is Lao Liu's mother."
Mother Liu waved her hand and said, "Miss Cold Frost is polite."
"Mother Liu, I just heard that the prince stayed here last night."
When Gu Tingyu's name was mentioned, Leng Shuang's face was slightly crimson, and he seemed to be a little afraid to look at Liu's mother.
"Oh, this thing." Mother Liu suddenly realized: "The prince is twenty-five years old this year, but he has no heirs under his knees, so the prince has often stayed here with the princess recently."
Mother Liu said as she observed Leng Shuang's expression.
