"Miss Lin?"
"It's raining so hard outside. Even if you bring an umbrella, I will inevitably get wet if you follow me out. Why not wait here for a while, the rain in May won't last long."
Gu Chengyao naturally frowned when he heard this suggestion. It was not appropriate for them to be alone in the same room. Lin Wei Xi glanced at Gu Chengyao coolly, and her tone was still polite: "Of course, I say this for myself. I am weak. I will have a headache if I get a little bit of wind. If I get caught in the rain again, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back today. . If you don’t want to wait, go out quickly. Anyway, the prince is in good health and doesn’t mind the wind and rain.”
Gu Chengyao will not have trouble with himself. It is raining outside. Why should he go outside to soak in the rain if he has a choice? Lin Weixi couldn't leave anyway, so he might as well wait in the waterside pavilion for a while.
Gu Chengyao asked someone to put away the rain gear, while he stood under the eaves through a window and did not enter the room with Lin Weixi. If she were an ordinary woman, Gu Chengyao's behavior at this moment would be very gentlemanly, but for Lin Weixi... she only felt cold and bored.
The two of them fell into an eerie silence. Lin Weixi, who was usually such a eloquent person, was surprisingly silent at this moment. Gu Chengyao was quiet for a while and suddenly said: "Thank you today."
Lin Weixi was stunned for a moment before realizing that Gu Chengyao was talking to her. Ordinary people sitting across from each other would at least make eye contact without talking, but these two people did not. Gu Chengyao was still looking at the rain curtain outside the house. Lin Weixi just rolled his eyes and said angrily: "No need. I just can't stand what others say about King Yan. It's not for the sake of Prince Yan's house, let alone you." .What kind of thanks do you want to express?"
Gu Chengyao smiled softly, and finally looked back at Lin Weixi: "You seem to be very alienated from me. From the first time we met, you have deliberately kept a distance from me, and your attitude cannot be called friendly. We were strangers before this, I shouldn’t have offended you, right?”
"Your Majesty, you have been the pride of heaven since you were a child. I am afraid that your thoughts have become a habit, and you have not seen the real world outside. Today I will teach you how careless women among the people can be. If you like someone like me I don’t know, but do you need a reason to hate someone?”
Lin Weixi originally thought that Gu Chengyao would be angry, but he was not. He just shook his head and smiled: "Your prejudice against me is really deep-rooted."
Gu Chengyao was not angry and still spoke politely to her, a weak woman whose identity and status were far inferior to his. Lin Weixi felt increasingly sad. He could be such a gentleman to a strange woman, but for his former wife, he couldn't even bear to hear her complete sentence.
Perhaps the current atmosphere is too quiet, or perhaps the pattering of rain outside gives people an illusion, but Lin Weixi suddenly mentioned the past when she was still Gao Xi. She originally thought she would never say these words in her life: "Your Majesty, I am so unreasonable to you, but you still maintain your demeanor and listen to me in a good voice. Logically speaking, you are a standard son of an aristocratic family, and your upbringing is impeccable. But why do you treat the people you are close to like a completely different person?"
"Someone close to me?" Gu Chengyao was very confused, "I respect my father, I always abide by my duties as a son of man, and I never boss around the people in the palace, and the prince and concubine..."
Gu Chengyao paused, his eyes became cold, and he did not hide the scrutiny in his eyes: "What do you mean? How do you know?"
"It's not interesting. I just listened to the chatter of the servants of the palace. I just heard it casually." Lin Weixi sat on a dark brown sandalwood chair. The light in the waterside pavilion was dim on a rainy day, but her skin was crystal clear and her eyebrows were beautiful. Shine light in the darkness. She looked at Gu Chengyao, her brows were as delicate as those in a painting, and her eyes were rare and focused: "The prince is supposed to be a handsome gentleman, but he is too indifferent to his first wife. I really want to know, why is this?"
Gu Chengyao looked directly into Lin Weixi's eyes. For some reason, he suddenly turned his gaze away and refused to continue looking: "There is no reason. She cheated on me and deliberately destroyed my destined marriage. Why should I continue? ”
"I heard this reason when you refused to go to Princess Shoukang's Mansion." Lin Weixi looked past Gu Chengyao to the vast line of rain behind him, with a smile on her lips for some reason, "Remember when it was... How did King Yan scold you? This is what I want to tell you now. You take it too much for granted. Did you have an honest conversation with her when you made this decision? Do you really understand the truth? Sooner or later, you will Pay the price for your idealization."
Gu Chengyao did not expect to hear such words: "You..."
Lin Weixi didn’t wait for him to finish, and sighed very self-deprecatingly: "I really hope I can see this day."
Gu Chengyao looked at Lin Weixi's side face and felt a smile in his heart. There was no need to say what he just said. He smiled and said to Lin Weixi: "Then I wish Miss Lin that all her wishes will come true?"
Lin Weixi snorted softly, not even bothering to give a charity out of the corner of his eye. After this incident, Gu Chengyao felt that the distance between him and Lin Weixi had become much closer, and he also spoke out what was in his heart: "Miss Lin, I didn't like you very much when I first came here, but now, I find that my imagination may not be what it is. . I thought I wouldn't like a woman with your personality, but after getting along with her for a long time, I found that although your personality is simple and straightforward, there is something cute about it." If Lin Weixi didn't target him like this, her cuteness would still be A little more.
Lin Weixi was furious after hearing this: "Who would like you? I am famous and beautiful, have a lot of private wealth, and am young and beautiful. If I were willing, there would be many men vying to marry me. Although I am simple and straightforward, I am not cute at all. Chu, I tell you there’s no need! Go ahead and love your Crown Princess as much as you can.”
Gu Chengyao did not expect such a big reaction from Lin Weixi. He chuckled helplessly: "You are too hostile to Gao Ran."
"Huh, do you think she doesn't care about me? Why did she tell you about me in private? You don't need me to help you remember it?"
After hearing this, Gu Chengyao clenched his fists and coughed: "How can you, a girl who has not yet left the government, say these things?"
Lin Weixi was stunned for a moment when she was told that. Then she realized what she was saying and was furious: "You have your own wild thoughts and you still blame me?"
……
The conversation ended with Lin Weixi's unilateral argument. The rain stopped. Gu Chengyao looked at Lin Weixi helplessly and said, "Now that the rain has stopped, we won't get wet anymore. Can we go?" ”
Lin Weixi snorted angrily, went out first, and walked forward. Gu Chengyao was thrown away and could only sigh and follow quickly.
Gao Ran received a message from King Yan asking her if she had seen Gu Chengyao. Gao Ran didn't know why. After asking again, she found out that Gu Chengyao had gone to pick up Lin Weixi and had not come back yet.
Gao Ran's heart skipped a beat, and when the rain subsided a little, he immediately rushed towards the waterside pavilion.
She was only halfway through when she saw Lin Weixi and Gu Chengyao coming from another corner. Gu Chengyao is handsome and tall, and Lin Weixi is beautiful and translucent. The two of them walked together with the mist of moisture. They were even more beautiful than the idol dramas in their previous lives.
Gao Ran keenly felt that something had changed between the two of them. Aura is elusive, but Gao Ran is intuitive, and the relationship between the two has become much closer.
Gu Chengyao saw Gao then walked towards her with a smile. Lin Weixi asked the person behind him, "Are you leaving the palace?". After getting a positive answer, Lin Weixi just nodded and walked out without looking back. I walked away without any nostalgia. Gu Chengyao noticed that Gao Ran was looking straight at Lin Weixi's back. He lowered his head strangely and asked Gao Ran, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look a little distracted?"
"It's okay." Gao Ran forced herself to calm down. She followed the many attendants outside the palace and could see Lin Weixi's figure as soon as she raised her head. Although Lin Weixi is slender, her figure is not a straight line, but has a slender waist, slender shoulders and neck, and her infinite aura can be seen just from her back. As Gao Ran watched like this, the thoughts in his heart became clearer and clearer.
Lin Weixi can no longer stay. No matter what, she cannot be allowed to continue living in Prince Yan's Mansion.
Gao Ran suddenly remembered that the Qian family had been snooping around today, and that the Queen Mother Qian finally became the Queen Mother after all the hardships. The Qian family also turned around, and now they are the most respectable relatives in the capital. The young master of the Qian family fell in love with Lin Wei Xi. No matter from any angle, it was Lin Wei Xi's blessing, even though the second young master Qian had been a little promiscuous and had a good sleep.
There is no reason to refuse. Even if Lin Weixi goes to move the eldest princess Shoukang, does Shoukang, an old man in the sunset, dare to confront the Queen Mother's family?
Gao Ran told herself that she was doing this for Lin Weixi's good. Being able to marry the Queen Mother's nephew, who is also the first wife of the wife. As an orphan with nothing, Lin Weixi must have a great marriage.
At dawn on the fifth day of May, the servants of Prince Yan's Mansion took action. Today the emperor sets up a dragon boat in Xiyuan, and Prince Yan's Mansion is the highlight of the entourage. There will also be a series of activities in the palace such as the Dragon Boat Festival and the Five Poisons Festival. I'm afraid it won't be long before Prince Yan can escape.
Seeing that they could not rest all day long, the servants of the palace had already tensed up their nerves. The calamus, hanging screen and other items in the palace had been arranged yesterday. Early this morning, the carriage of the female family members stopped at the second gate. Nowadays, dignitaries in the capital often travel in sedan chairs, but King Yan has been in the army for many years and has already developed iron-clad rules of work and rest. How could he ride in a sedan chair? Not only Gu Huiyan himself, but even Gu Chengyao, who grew up in the capital, was not allowed to be arrogant. No matter how far he went, he would always ride a horse.
Gu Mingda held Zhaoxue and stood outside the hanging flower door like a benchmark. Zhaoxue snorted and snorted. Gu Huiyan was wearing a Gonglong suit with a first-grade prince's ribbon tied around his waist, standing in front with his hands behind his hands. Gu Chengyao also put on corresponding clan attire, but his specifications were one level lower than Gu Huiyan's in all aspects. I don't know if it's because of the reduced patterns, but they are obviously the same color. Gu Chengyao is obviously a handsome young man in the prince's clothes, but once he stands next to Gu Huiyan, he is immediately suppressed and unable to fight back. People passing by the Chuihua Gate can see King Yan at first glance, and they can only see King Yan. They hold their breath and lower their heads, not daring to show their anger.
Gu Huiyan was waiting outside the Chuihua Gate. The carriage was ready behind him, just waiting for the female family members inside to go out. If it were normal, Gu Huiyan would not have spent more than half a cup of tea from the time he issued the order until the whole army set off. He was very strict in managing the army, and there would never be a situation where there were not all the people when the time came. No one among the soldiers and generals below dared to let Gu Huiyan wait. But the capital is different from Yan, and the person he is waiting for is also different from the soldiers who order and prohibit.
All the people stood quietly. I don’t know who was the first to speak out. Just like a stone being thrown into the middle of the lake, the silent corridor immediately came to life: "Miss Lin is here."
Lin Weixi walked toward the second door surrounded by stars and moons. She was shocked when she saw the scene outside through the door, and then quickened her pace: "Your Highness, King Yan, you are already here? Now that you are here, what are you doing? It’s my fault that you didn’t go inside and call me, which would make you tired of waiting.”
