After suppressing the strange thought in his mind, Chaoli answered Gu Hanzhang.
"The Queen Mother said some things, which actually let me know some things about the prince, such as the grievances he had when he was young." Chaoli said with a smile.
Gu Hanzhang didn't mind this, "The Queen Mother has always cared for me, but she just couldn't rest assured and felt that I was sad when I was young. Today she invites the three of you into the palace with great fanfare. Is this what she said?"
"Yes, and no, I talked about other things. At first, I mentioned the fourth sister's marriage. Spring is approaching, and the Queen Mother feels that she has reached the marriageable age, so she plans to marry her. When it comes to this, I am a little curious. At first
The prince has no feelings for me, so why did he finally agree to marry me? The empress said that the prince suffered too much when he was young, and she will not force you to marry me. If you don't nod and agree, she will not grant the marriage.
I misunderstood the matter and thought it was without your consent." Chaoli finally asked her doubts.
In fact, this matter didn't seem that important, but she still wanted to know in her heart.
Maybe Chaoli didn't understand what she was thinking at all now. She had already asked the question without thinking, and it would be useless to regret it.
Gu Hanzhang hesitated slightly. When Chaoli asked about this, he didn't know how to answer.
After a moment of silence, Gu Hanzhang chose an answer that was beneficial to him and told Chaoli.
"Although I didn't care about you at that time, I didn't hate you either. I thought it would be good if I could repay my father for saving my life."
We have to get married anyway, so there seems to be nothing unacceptable about marrying and being divorced.
Chaoli understood the implication of Gu Hanzhang's words and suddenly laughed.
"It turns out that this marriage was not a tragedy that was caused by me alone. The Crown Prince is also responsible. If the Crown Prince had directly said that he did not want to marry me, what would have happened now. Of course, the main fault is still mine, so the responsibility
I should still bear the responsibility. But no matter what, it still makes me a little happy, and I think I am not so annoying."
Gu Hanzhang closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"You are not disliked by others. I didn't know how to get along with you at first. I have a cold temperament, and it's not because I hate you that I don't like to talk. Ali, I will change in the future. I wonder if you are willing to give me a chance."
Chaoli suppressed the emotions in his heart, "You don't need to change, Your Majesty. I am insignificant to Your Majesty, so don't put too much thought on me. Now the burden of the entire Zhenbei Hou Mansion is on Your Majesty's body. In fact, these things have already
It’s not important anymore.”
The important thing is that we will be separated in a few months.
Gu Hanzhang had already understood the meaning of Chaoli's words, and at this moment, he felt tired in his heart.
Suddenly, he raised his feet and walked towards Chaoli, with a thick ink in his eyes that could not be resolved.
Before Chaoli could react, Gu Hanzhang had already stretched out his hand and hugged her.
After feeling what Gu Hanzhang did, Chaoli put his hand on Gu Hanzhang's chest, trying to push him away.
"Don't move, let me hug you."
Hearing the unconcealed tiredness and hoarseness in Gu Hanzhang's voice, Chaoli actually stopped what he was doing and didn't push Gu Hanzhang away anymore.
It was obvious that the two of them were hugging under the albizia tree in the yard, but Chaoli didn't think that they shouldn't be like this. There were many servants passing by outside.
This was the first time she had seen Gu Hanzhang in such a fragile state. At this moment, her heartstrings seemed to fluctuate because of his actions.
But soon, Chaoli's eyes were filled with only clarity.
After a while, Gu Hanzhang took the initiative to let go of Chaoli.
Chaoli's face was expressionless, not shy or embarrassed at all. Gu Hanzhang's heart dropped to the bottom when he saw it.
"Ali, what should I do with you?"
Gu Hanzhang's voice was full of disappointment, and his face was also very ugly.
Let go, he can't do it.
But now that Chaoli has let go of him, he doesn't know what to do, and he doesn't know what method to use to make Chaoli open his heart to him again.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to do anything, because it won't affect my decision. I just need to live the remaining few months peacefully," Chaoli replied.
At this moment, Gu Hanzhang's eyes stared hard at Chaoli's lips.
The little mouth in front of him looked so tempting, but he said such cold and hurtful words, he really wanted to seal it for her.
But Gu Hanzhang also knew in his heart that he should not do such a thing to Chaoli now, otherwise it would only push her further.
"You are also tired today. Go back and rest soon."
Gu Hanzhang turned around and turned his back, not wanting Chaoli to see the vulnerability on his face.
It was originally caused by myself, and now I have to swallow the bitter consequences by myself.
"Okay, Your Majesty, let's take a rest early." Chao Li replied calmly.
Gu Hanzhang responded, turned towards Li and walked into the house.
One stood still and the other walked to the left, just like their current attitude towards relationships, Gu Hanzhang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After all, he was getting further and further away from her.
Chaoli, who returned to the house, was actually not as calm as Gu Hanzhang imagined. The moment she closed the door, she fell weakly to the ground.
Regarding Gu Hanzhang's transformation, Chaoli saw it in his eyes and was not completely unmoved.
Chaoli admits that she is not a person who cares about food and fights, but just now Gu Hanzhang was too gentle, not to mention the bitter love from the previous life, she almost couldn't resist it.
If I hadn't still been unable to let go of the pain in my past life, I might really have responded to him.
Fortunately, she still refrained from responding.
Chao Li took a deep breath, stood up and sat at the table, pouring a cup of tea.
The cooled tea was a bit harsh on the tongue, and the bitterness spread in the mouth, but it could not suppress the bitterness in my heart.
At this moment, Chaoli had no intention of having dinner. Just when Qing Yi opened the door and came in to change the tea, she gave an order.
"Qingyi, there is no need to prepare dinner for me. I ate a lot in the palace today and I am not hungry at the moment. The food in the palace is indeed delicious. It is rare to eat so much today. I am the only one with the best appetite.
"
Qing Yi responded, quickly changing the tea, and accidentally discovered the cup of cold tea poured by Chao Li.
"Miss, this tea is cold and doesn't taste good at all. It's better not to drink cold tea next time. Hot tea is better," Qing Yi reminded.
My young lady used to have poor health. As long as it was not the middle of summer, she would have a stomachache if she drank something cold.
Not to mention, during the period of marrying into the Hou family, my health seemed to be much better.
"I know, my Qingyi is really a considerate girl, I don't know who will get the better of her in the future." Chaoli joked with a smile.
Qing Yi blushed and felt uncomfortable at these words, "The young lady will talk nonsense. Qing Yi just wants to follow the young lady for the rest of her life, not going anywhere, let alone her family."
Hearing this, Chaoli couldn't help but think of his past life.
