In fact, Gu Hanzhang had this doubt a long time ago, but at that time he didn't care about Chaoli, so he didn't ask.
Having just heard Chao Li talk about his past in the palace, Gu Hanzhang was inevitably touched at that moment.
After thinking for a while, he finally asked.
When Chaoli heard the words, he didn't think too much, but his eyes became distant.
Probably thinking of her grandfather and uncle, she felt bitter in her heart and looked a little confused.
In her previous life, Fang Yaohui and Fang Zhengye had advised her many times not to have anything to do with the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. This marriage was inappropriate, but she insisted on marrying Gu Hanzhang, which made her grandfather and uncle who loved her sad.
Even so, her grandfather and uncle would often send people to bring her things, and even wrote several letters to her, lest she would have a hard time in the house.
Unfortunately, her reply was extremely cold, and she was still a little unhappy. She felt that both her grandfather and uncle were not optimistic about her marriage, and she was just taking a gamble because she had nothing to do.
Gradually, there were fewer letters from my grandfather and uncle.
Later, Chao Li felt regretful and realized more and more that they really loved and cared for her, and wanted to regain the family relationship with her grandfather and uncle, but at that time, she could no longer go back, and she did not hesitate to write to the two elders.
Unable to forgive myself.
Listening to Gu Hanzhang's question at this moment, she knew that Gu Hanzhang was not interested in laughing, so she did not restrain her emotions and even talked to Gu Hanzhang about her innermost feelings.
"Growing up, I thought that as long as I listened to my father enough, he would always treat me like my second sister and third brother. I used to be very envious. They both sat on my father's shoulders, but my fourth sister Chaowan and I did not.
I sat there. Later, my grandfather returned to Beijing to visit relatives. I told him about this, and my grandfather put me on his shoulders. He avoided my mother and I and went to find my father. I got angry at him and scolded him for not respecting his first wife and first wife.
female."
"After my grandfather left, my father locked me in the ancestral hall and knelt for a whole day. It was still in the dog days of summer. He didn't give me food or water. No matter how much my mother begged, it didn't work. From then on, I
I no longer dare to expect my father to be so kind to me. And then I dare not say anything more in front of my grandfather and uncle."
"However, in order to marry you, I asked my grandfather to sacrifice his face and repay the favor, and even argued with my uncle. I knew they were doing it for my own good. A wealthy family like the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion simply looked down on my family's humble status.
It's wrong for me and you to be from the same family, and marrying me will only make you more disgusted, and blame me for being obsessed with you."
"The Chaofu is not like my home. My father never liked me when I was born, so my name was chosen quite randomly. You see our names, Chaozhen, means treasure; Chaoheng, my father wants him to
Be persistent in doing things; even Chao Wan has the meaning of gentleness and grace. Only me, Chao Li, means departure, which is not a good wish at all. So, my family only has my grandfather, uncle, and me.
's mother."
This was the first time since his rebirth that Chaoli showed his vulnerable side in front of Gu Hanzhang.
Gu Hanzhang's Adam's apple slipped. Now that she was married, her family did not have him.
But Gu Hanzhang couldn't say these words. He had not forgotten his one-year agreement with Chaoli.
"Not necessarily. Maybe your name doesn't need to be understood in this way."
Chaoli raised his eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed the pain on the tip of his nose, and looked at Gu Hanzhang in surprise, as if he didn't understand why he said that.
"How can we understand that?" Chaoli asked.
"Chaoli, morning and evening, we will never be separated." Gu Hanzhang's expression was still indifferent, but his tone was much gentler, "Don't worry about the court, their relationship with you is just because your mother is still among them, that's all."
It has to be said that Gu Hanzhang was so considerate today that Chaoli had the illusion that he was not actually that ruthless.
Yes, it must be an illusion. It is impossible for Gu Hanzhang to be considerate to her.
However, what he just said still made Chaoli feel at ease in her heart, and those sad emotions were blown away a lot. She never knew that her name could be interpreted in this way.
"Morning and evening, we will never be separated. It turns out that my name does not mean a bad thing at all. It can also mean a beautiful thought." Chaoli raised his lips and smiled.
Gu Hanzhang's expression paused slightly, and he was dazzled by Chaoli's smile. He accidentally recalled that when she came to the Hou Mansion before getting married, she also smiled very happily, but he didn't care at that time.
Now, seeing her lose her disguise and just smile is enough to make people uneasy.
"That's right, so there's no need to feel sad about the name." Gu Hanzhang retracted his gaze and spoke in a low voice.
My heart was still in a state of confusion after all.
Chaoli lowered his eyes and thought about Gu Hanzhang's name.
She had never thought about it carefully in her previous life, but now she had an understanding of Gu Hanzhang's name because of Gu Hanzhang's words just now.
"The prince's name is also nice. It contains the quality of Zhang, and means ice and water."
Gu Hanzhang looked away uncomfortably. He knew the origin of his name. It was given to him by the old Marquis.
But now that it came out of Chaoli's mouth, he actually felt that his name sounded so nice.
"Well, that's what grandpa meant."
Gu Hanzhang answered calmly. In fact, the hands on his knees were curled up unconsciously, and his whole body was quite stiff. Chaoli did not notice.
An inexplicable feeling spread in the carriage, and considering the contact between the two at the palace banquet, the atmosphere in the carriage was particularly strange.
The cool breeze blew in through the gap in the curtains, which immediately made Chaoli sober up.
Chaoli knew that she was somewhat dependent on Gu Hanzhang today, which was the most important thing.
Now less than a year has passed, the two are about to separate, she will leave the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and all those deep feelings should not exist.
Be sober. You should not and cannot repeat the mistakes of your previous life.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I'm a little tired. Let's rest for a while." Chaoli said indifferently.
After saying this, she closed her eyes directly and ignored Gu Hanzhang's expression.
Gu Hanzhang frowned. He was fine just now, but he couldn't figure out why Chaoli suddenly changed his face. Are all women so uncertain?
Originally, Gu Hanzhang wanted to ask Chaoli if he would go see the lanterns. But now that Chaoli was so cold and indifferent, he closed his eyes and fell asleep and refused to talk to him, he knew that asking was in vain and she would definitely refuse.
In the end, Gu Hanzhang said nothing, pursed his lips and sat in the carriage reading.
Not long after, the carriage stopped at the gate of Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
Chaoli opened her eyes the moment the carriage stopped. She ignored Gu Hanzhang and got off the carriage first. However, she did not rush in and stood there waiting.
