Gu Xiao and General Gu exchanged a few words with the emperor, and then the group headed back to the city.
The emperor invited Gu Qingying to ride in the carriage.
As for Gu Lian'er and Cui, who cares what they are doing!
On the carriage.
The emperor saw that Gu Qingying was in a good mood and asked tentatively: "How are you and Cang Jue doing?"
He still didn't want the two of them to get divorced. After all, it was he who gave the marriage.
But he also knew that if Gu Qingying kept shouting for peace, General Gu would definitely support Gu Qingying, and he did not want to have any conflicts with General Gu.
To take a step back, he made a mistake by messing up the Yuanyang score. In fact, he was quite confused and was afraid of delaying the two of them.
Lu Qingying didn't expect that the emperor would ask this, but now she explained very easily: "We have decided to make peace. My father will definitely support me and divorce. If your emperor is doing it for our own good, don't stop us."
The emperor let out a long sigh when he heard this.
He felt very heavy: "In the final analysis, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have ordered this Yuanyang Book in the first place."
Gu Qingying lowered her head and sighed: "Who knew that so many things would happen in the future? Li Cangjue is very good, and I also want to live in harmony with him for the rest of my life, but... some things cannot be changed once they have happened, and I have something in my heart.
If we can't get over this hurdle, we will both suffer if we continue to be with him, so why bother!"
Her words touched the emperor's heart.
Indeed, if the misunderstanding between the two people cannot be resolved, Lu Qingying will always be worried about it, and it will be torture for the two of them to be together.
The emperor also thought about it and said: "I just hope that you two will not regret it."
Gu Qingying smiled brightly: "I don't regret it. I won't regret anything I have decided."
"I hope so."
The carriage stopped and Gu Qingying followed the officials into the palace.
While waiting in the palace, Li Cangjue stood beside Gu Qingying and whispered: "Your father just came back today. Let's not talk about it for now. Let's go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow."
Gu Qingying agreed.
After coming down from the court hall, it was time to attend the banquet in the palace.
Gu Xiao finally found a chance to talk to Gu Qingying.
In Gu Qingying's heart, Gu Xiao is just a big boy who hasn't grown up yet.
But the Gu Xiao standing in front of him now is a mature, sensible and heroic man.
Looking Gu Xiao up and down, he smiled and said, "Brother, you have changed so much! I am not used to you looking like this."
Gu Xiao scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Don't laugh at me, brother. I'm not used to this. It's you, how are you doing? Are you taking good care of yourself?"
Today is worth being happy. Of course, Lu Qingying didn't want to talk about those bad things, so she changed the subject and said: "Brother is not young anymore. He wants to find a sister-in-law for me when he comes back this time!"
She has accepted General Gu and Gu Xiao in her heart and truly regards them as family.
Gu Xiao is already twenty-two years old. If it were any other man of his age, children would be running around all over the place.
The General's Mansion was too deserted, and Gu Xiao regretted getting married because it was so lively.
Gu Xiao's face turned red, he looked around cautiously, and whispered: "Sister, please keep your voice down, others will laugh if they hear it."
He will be shy too!
Gu Qingying was amused by Gu Xiao's behavior: "Brother, are you shy?"
Gu Xiao was helpless: "I really can't do anything with you. I really dare to make any joke with your brother. The soldiers at the border are all afraid of me! You are the only one who is not afraid of me."
Gu Qingying curled her lips and said: "People outside are afraid of you because they don't understand you. I am different. I know that no matter what jokes my brother and I make, he will love me and not care about me."
She liked the way she got along with Gu Xiao very much, and she was already sure that both her brother and her father doted on her.
When facing someone who loves you, you are always confident.
Gu Xiao nodded, this was the truth. No matter what Gu Qingying did, he couldn't bear to complain. His sister doted on him. He showed a smile and said: "You're right, I really can't bear to complain about what you girl did."
Blame you."
General Gu managed to squeeze through the hundreds of officials to Gu Qingying's side, looked at Gu Qingying distressedly, and said guiltily: "It's my father's fault, he didn't even make it to your wedding! I feel most guilty for not being able to send you off to get married.
matter."
When his wife passed away, she gave Gu Qingying to him and asked him to take good care of her.
As a result, he and Gu Xiao fought at the border and didn't return for several years, and now they haven't even caught up with their daughter to get married.
Gu Qingying smiled and consoled her: "Don't feel guilty, dad. The wedding is too sudden. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it when we go home tonight."
There are eyes everywhere here, and it is indeed not the place to talk. General Gu and Gu Xiao nodded at the same time.
During the palace banquet, Lu Qingying was forced to sit together with Li Cangjue.
All the officials praised Gu Qingying and Li Cangjue for sitting together like a couple, but little did they know that their flattery fell on the horse's leg.
Gu Qingying could only respond awkwardly.
Li Cangjue picked up the serving chopsticks, gave Gu Qingying a piece of pastry, put it on the plate, and said, "Try it, this osmanthus cake is a must-have in the palace, it's especially sweet and glutinous."
The palace banquet made Gu Qingying very uncomfortable, but fortunately the emperor was considerate and considerate of her father and brother's hard work along the way, so they almost broke up.
Outside the palace gate, Li Cangjue glanced at Gu Qingying and said, "Are you planning to go back to Zhennan Prince's Mansion or the General's Mansion?"
Gu Qingying glanced at her slightly tired father and brother and said, "Let's go back to Zhennan Palace."
My father and brother are both back, and there is no rush.
You can go over there tomorrow and talk it over with the two of them.
The two of them didn't have much to say along the way. Li Cangjue raised his head and looked at Gu Qingying several times, but in the end he still didn't say anything to save her.
Early the next morning, Gu Qingying returned to the General's Mansion with the tomatoes.
As a result, as soon as I entered the house, I noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere in the air.
When Gu Qingying entered the backyard, she heard General Gu's roar: "Li Cang has gone too far in bullying others."
Cui said: "How can you blame King Zhennan for this kind of thing? If you want to blame it, blame Qingying for being too ignorant."
When Gu Qingying heard about the fire, she immediately jumped up and kicked the door open, which made Ms. Cui tremble with fright. Even her father was surprised.
She glanced at the angry General Gu, and then looked at Ms. Cui: "Have you not been beaten enough? Are you talking nonsense in front of my father again?"
When General Gu saw Gu Qingying like this, instead of being angry, he shouted: "Okay!"
Yes, he was very happy. Seeing his daughter being so domineering, what was there not to be happy about?
Mrs. Cui felt wronged. Before she could say a few words, she was scolded by General Gu. Unexpectedly, Gu Qingying heard her.
He said dissatisfiedly: "Husband, you are protecting her like this. I am doing this for Qingying's own good."
Gu Qingying smiled contemptuously and said: "So, you bribed the storyteller under the overpass to smear my innocence out of thin air, saying that I secretly harmed Gu Lian'er for my own good! You really have good intentions! It's not all you who has made my reputation bad.
