It was because of Chaoli's words that everyone looked at Gu Hanzhang with a bit of ridicule. You must know that everyone in the capital knew what Chaoli had done before.
However, when Gu Hanzhang's current situation was mentioned, it was meant to help him ease the atmosphere.
After all, no matter whether you drink King Rui's wine or King Li's wine first, you will offend the other party.
After hearing Chaoli's words, Gu Hanzhang nodded slightly.
"It's a joke for everyone. My wife has never been shy about expressing her feelings for me. She always looks at me." Gu Hanzhang said with a faint arc, "Two princes, please."
The atmosphere was no longer tense. Gu Hanzhang turned away and drank with the two princes at the same time. It didn't seem so unacceptable.
Everyone present was a smart person, so they naturally echoed Gu Hanzhang's words.
"What the prince said is true, the prince's concubine is true."
"Yes, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess have a very good relationship, which is very enviable."
These words fell clearly into the inner courtyard through a wall full of small holes, and the female guests could hear them clearly.
Chaoli's cheeks were red, and she looked shy in the eyes of outsiders. They all praised Gu Hanzhang's good relationship with her, and the ladies were envious and jealous.
In fact, Chaoli was angry, and Gu Hanzhang was so shameless!
"The Crown Princess is shy."
I don't know which noble lady suddenly said this, but it was also clearly transmitted to the front yard.
For a moment, Chaoli really wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
However, there is no way to explain that she is not shy, but simply angry.
Gu Hanzhang's eyes moved slightly and he looked at the wall, as if he wanted to see Chao Li through the wall, but he couldn't see through it at all.
Chaoli on the other side also looked up at the opposite side at the same time. It was obvious that she couldn't see through it, but she always had the feeling that Gu Hanzhang was looking at her, and then she shook her head with a smile.
Overthinking, Gu Hanzhang couldn't possibly look at her.
It was a great lunch for both the guests and the host, but there might only be a few two or three people who felt unhappy, and Shen Lianyi was naturally one of them.
So Shen Lianyi almost panicked after eating today's meal.
If it weren't for her good upbringing since childhood, she would really want to tear Chaoli's face apart right now.
Chao Li just drank some fruit wine. Although the wine taste was very weak, he was still a little high and confused at the moment.
But fortunately, I wasn't really drunk, so I didn't lose my composure.
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Guo, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and his party walked out of the gate of Guo Mansion.
Shen Lianyi may have also calmed down, and now smiled and said goodbye to the female relatives of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, saying that they would come to bother them in a few days.
Princess Desao and Gu Xiyue both responded with smiles and did not refuse.
Just as Chaoli and his party were getting into the car, Gu Hanzhang walked out alone.
Originally, Gu Le planned to continue riding the carriage with Chao Li, but when he saw Gu Hanzhang coming in, he could only go back to his parents' carriage.
"Why don't you sit with your sister-in-law?" Ms. Li asked with a smile.
Gu Le lowered the car curtain with the same smile on his face.
"It's not like the eldest brother has come out. He must be with his sister-in-law. It would be inappropriate for me to go. When newlyweds go home together, it would be annoying for me, my sister-in-law, to sit in the middle." Gu Le replied.
Li covered her lips and smiled softly, "You really like your sister-in-law. She is a real person."
Gu Qingfeng also nodded, "Yes, I think her temperament is good."
"Okay, let's go home too," Gu Le said, holding Li's arm.
The couple looked at each other, laughed at the same time, and then ordered the coachman to set off back to the Marquis Mansion.
On the other side, as soon as Chaoli sat down, the curtain of the carriage was lifted.
I thought it was Gu Le. When they arrived, the two of them had a good chat in the carriage and agreed to go back together. Unexpectedly, it was Gu Hanzhang who walked in at this moment.
"Prince." Chaoli shouted dryly.
The conversation in the backyard just now flashed through his mind, and Chaoli felt uncomfortable facing Gu Hanzhang at this moment.
He was obviously a little angry that he shouldn't have said those words, but when he was in front of others and saw the indifference on his face, he seemed to be unable to say what he wanted to say when he was angry.
Chaoli was a little drunk after drinking the fruit wine, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense at the moment.
But I have to say that even with an indifferent expression on Gu Hanzhang's face, it is still easy for people to lose their focus.
"kindness."
Gu Hanzhang replied coldly, lifted his robe and sat down.
The two of them were relatively speechless. One was drinking fruit wine, the other was drinking spirits, and the entire carriage was surrounded by the smell of alcohol.
Chaoli couldn't help but frown, relaxed and leaned against the wall of the carriage.
She was so drunk that she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Therefore, Gu Hanzhang did not see his complicated and obscure eyes on her.
Chaoli had a dream while sleeping. In the dream, she was a man. She was not far away from him, but it was like there was a thin veil between them, and his facial features could not be seen clearly.
The man was dressed in white, with his hair disheveled, sitting quietly in front of a grave, but there was no tombstone in this grave.
"Do you really hate me so much?"
This voice was very hoarse, and Chao Li felt strange yet familiar at the same time.
In the dead silence, his low voice conveyed a sense of sadness, a little disappointed, and more importantly, unwillingness and sadness.
"It doesn't matter, you can only be mine. Even if we die, we will share the coffin. No one can separate us."
As he finished speaking, the man in white froze, and finally fell softly beside the lonely grave.
Chaoli wanted to reach out and catch him, but it was in vain.
At this moment, her heart ached.
Before he could react, Chaoli suddenly felt his body hit something, and then he was wrapped in warmth.
Opening his eyes, Gu Hanzhang's face came into view. Chaoli was stunned for a moment, but later realized that she was now in Gu Hanzhang's arms.
Their eyes met at the same time, and one looked away to the left and the other to the right.
After realizing something was wrong, Chaoli struggled to get up.
"I, how could I be here with you?"
While he was talking, Chaoli found that his eyes hurt a little. He stretched out his hand to touch them, and was surprised to find that there was already moisture.
Gu Hanzhang's expression was indifferent, "The carriage accidentally hit a stone just now, and it jolted. You almost fell off."
Hearing this, Chao Li understood clearly that there was something wrong with the carriage just now.
In this way, Gu Hanzhang caught her when she fell and prevented her from being thrown.
"Thank you." Chaoli thanked him softly.
It's probably because I drank some alcohol, and some of my emotions are not so easy to control.
"You're crying." Gu Hanzhang looked complicated.
This was the first time he saw Chao Li cry. Although it was in a dream, her pain was almost overflowing.
When he was so kind to Chao Li, was she also so sad?
Or, did she dream of the original scene?
Chaoli took out the silk handkerchief, gently wiped the wet tears on his face, and showed a faint smile.
