Gu Qingyuan wanted to continue asking about the Ming family, but Pei Jinting suddenly changed the topic.
Their first wedding was absurd and uninhibited. She forcibly broke off their separation.
After all this time, if she said she didn't want to marry him, it would be hypocritical.
Although Pei Jinting talks about new things happening outside every day.
Keep her from getting a black eye.
It's just that this time...
Gu Qingyuan grabbed his hand that was wrapped around her long hair, "But...father..."
The first time she kidnapped a bride, she did not tell her father, but relied on her own courage to move forward recklessly.
This time, she wanted to agree to Pei Jinting's marriage proposal with her father's blessing.
Pei Jinting stared at Gu Qingyuan for a while, then brushed away the hair scattered on her thin face, and said in a medium voice, "Father-in-law will clear his grievances soon."
"Yuanyuan. I want to marry you back home grandly. Let everyone see that I married you."
Gu Qingyuan looked back at him blankly, wanting to wait until her father's case was settled before talking about getting married.
Pei Jinting's face moved closer to this side. Under the dim light, his eyes were shining brightly and he said firmly,
"Gu Qingyuan, would you like to marry Pei Jingheng?"
The light coming from outside the tent spread a layer of melting light around Pei Jinting.
Gu Qingyuan's nose suddenly became sore, and tears welled up in her eyes.
From spring to winter, they walked so many roads side by side, and many pictures flashed through Gu Qingyuan's mind at this moment.
"good."
She couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Pei Jinting's heart finally dropped.
Without thinking at all, he put one hand on her ear and leaned in front of her.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down, his eyes were deep and filled with the familiar desire of Gu Qingyuan.
She avoided Pei Jinting's eyes and swallowed hard.
Immediately, a hot kiss fell on her neck, slowly, her cheeks, eyebrows, lips...
In just one moment, Gu Qingyuan could be confused and confused.
As the clothes fell off, the temperature in the tent rose.
Gu Qingyuan wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, like ivy wrapping around a tree.
Drowsily, she seemed to hear Pei Jinting saying in her ear that he would send someone to propose marriage.
When I woke up the next day, the person next to me was gone.
Gu Qingyuan leaned against the bedrail and didn't wake up for quite a while. The pain all over her body reminded her of the madness last night.
That man was as fierce as if he wanted to prove something. Not to mention other things, just the red plum blossoms on his neck were enough to make Gu Qingyuan dare not wear clothes that exposed her neck for a long time.
Fortunately, it's winter now, so it doesn't matter if it's tight. At most, people will say that I'm afraid of the cold.
When Gu Qingyuan woke up, it was already past breakfast time.
She was sitting at the table languidly, and suddenly there were footsteps outside. She subconsciously thought it was Pei Jinting, and some accusing words were brewing in her heart.
After a while, the footsteps stopped outside the door and did not go any further.
Gu Qingyuan was a little confused, and a ridiculous idea came to her mind.
That footsteps...
Her heart was beating fast, she suddenly put down the chopsticks in her hand, picked up the hem of her skirt and ran out.
She was so eager that she tripped over the embroidery stool she was sitting on.
Without realizing it, she suddenly arrived at the door.
The tall figure outside the door had his hands behind his back, his back to her, and he was looking into the distance in a trance.
She followed his gaze and saw a Lingxiao flower planted in the corner.
It was planted by her mother and her back then.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen him with such a burly body and that upright posture.
Gu Qingyuan stood there quietly, her eyes red.
It turned out that Pei Jinting lied to her last night when he said that he would clear up his grievances in the near future.
Actually...
Gu Qingyuan crossed the threshold and called softly, "Father."
Gu Shao, who was looking at Lingxiao Flower in a trance, heard the call, came back to his senses, and turned to look at Gu Qingyuan.
Tears burst out of Gu Qingyuan's eyes and she ran towards him.
Gu Shao seemed to see the little Gu Qingyuan, a small ball, running towards him.
He opened his arms and held his daughter in his arms.
"It's okay, it's okay. Daddy is here."
Gu Qingyuan looked at Gu Shao with blurred eyes, but she hadn't seen him for a few days and had lost weight again.
The hair on the temples is faintly white.
Gu Shao raised his hand and wiped it on his clothes again and again, and then raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of Gu Qingyuan's eyes.
"Silly girl, daddy is out, you should be happy, why are you crying?"
Gu Shao looked at his tearful daughter in front of him and thought of his wife. His heart felt sad, but he comforted his daughter.
"Tell daddy. How are these days?"
Gu Qingyuan told Gu Shao what happened these days in detail.
The illness of Princess Rongchang was also mentioned.
"The princess seems a little delirious, she probably did something wrong..."
She originally wanted to hide the fact that she was trying to scare Princess Rongchang, because she was not sure what Gu Shao thought about the matter.
In the end, she still hesitantly told the story about how she had sent people to bring Qin's portrait to scare Princess Rongchang these days.
"Father...my daughter was really angry, so she thought...of a little revenge."
Gu Shao looked at Gu Qingyuan with soft eyes and rubbed her head with his palms, "It's dad's fault. He didn't care about you too much in the past, so you developed a temperament to rely on yourself for everything."
"Daddy will handle such matters in the future. You don't have to worry about it anymore."
Gu Qingyuan and Gu Shao talked for a long time, but their eyes glanced at the door from time to time.
She originally thought Pei Jinting would come back with her father.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Pei Jinting was nowhere to be seen.
When she turned her eyes away from the door countless times, she happened to see her father looking at her with a complicated expression.
Her father's gaze was as bright as a mirror, illuminating every corner of her heart.
She felt a little guilty and said nonchalantly, "Father, have you had breakfast?"
Gu Shao saw that his daughter was a little embarrassed, so he didn't push her. Instead, he gave her a step up, "Not yet."
Gu Qingyuan immediately stood up and told Shuang Wu who was standing by the door, "Go to the kitchen and have a look. Let's get some food first."
In the next few days, Pei Jinting didn't know what he was busy with. Not to mention entering the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion through the main entrance, he didn't even sneak in over the wall at night.
Gu Qingyuan only thought it was because her father had returned home and access was no longer as convenient as before, so he didn't come to see her.
Although she missed him, she still had to take care of things in the house more.
As the news of Gu Shao's release spread, people came to visit him every day.
Moreover, the confiscated property was also returned one by one.
Even Gu Shao was reinstated as an official and was allowed to celebrate the New Year in Beijing, and then go to the frontier after the fifteenth day.
Gu Qingyuan stayed at home for a few more days, but did not get any news from Pei Jinting.
Just when she was confused, a decree came from the palace, inviting Gu Shao and his daughter to the palace for a banquet.
Gu Qingyuan originally wanted to put it off because she didn't want to see the queen.
The chamberlain who only came to convey the order laughed and said that the banquet was prepared by His Majesty.
When Gu Qingyuan heard this, she didn't dare to shirk it. She immediately dressed up and went to the palace for a banquet.
