She originally expected Leng Shuang to show surprise, jealousy, and anger, but she failed.
Leng Shuang was calm and calm, with no emotion on his face.
Liu Ma shook her head secretly, thinking to herself, as expected, women from the secular world just can't keep their temper.
Once they marry into the prince's palace, they must abide by their duties, otherwise the prince will definitely not be able to spare them.
"Miss Leng Shuang, the old lady asked the old slave to tell you that after eating the meal, go for a walk in the garden to digest the food." Mother Liu told Leng Shuang, and after finishing speaking, she withdrew.
Leng Shuang looked at Liu Ma's back with complicated thoughts.
Her grandmother asked her to go for a walk in the garden. She was actually afraid that she would take the opportunity to seduce the prince, right?
But she didn't bother to do such a villainous thing. She believed that Gu Tingyu was someone worthy of being entrusted with her life.
After Leng Shuang packed up, she went to the garden.
The flowers are blooming in the garden, and the air is filled with elegant fragrance.
The autumn wind blows slowly, the flowers and plants are fragrant, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, which is quite pleasant.
Leng Shuang walked among the flowers and felt particularly comfortable.
Suddenly, a burst of melodious piano music floated into Leng Shuang's ears.
The sound of the piano is sweet, as if it can cleanse one's soul.
Leng Shuang followed the music and was slightly startled.
Under a leafy sycamore tree, a young man sat.
The young man wore a blue gown and held a guzheng in his hand. His slender fingertips gently plucked the strings, making an elegant sound.
The piece he played was called "Feng Qiu Huang", which was the most famous piano skill in the palace orchestra. It was said that the men who had played this piece were all the most popular noblemen in the imperial city.
Although the young man is wearing a mask, his eyes are extremely beautiful, as deep and charming as the vast stars, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Leng Shuang had never heard such a beautiful piece of music and forgot to react for a moment.
The young man stopped playing and slowly raised his head to look at Leng Shuang.
Leng Shuang was attracted by the young man's gaze and subconsciously walked towards him.
"You are..." As soon as Leng Shuang opened his mouth, he felt his throat was extremely dry.
This voice is so familiar!
Leng Shuang opened her eyes suddenly, looking at the man in front of her in disbelief, and was extremely shocked.
He...why is he here?
The young man stood up, reached out and took off the mask from his face.
Under the mask is a delicate and picturesque face.
"Gu Tingyu?" Leng Shuang's eyes widened and she said in disbelief.
"Shuang'er, this is my king."
Leng Shuang stood there blankly, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.
Many scenes emerged in her mind, including scenes when Gu Tingyu rescued her, scenes where Gu Tingyu taught her medical skills, and more scenes where he helped her escape.
Every scene was vividly in her mind, and it caused a ripple in her heart.
"Shuang'er, aren't you willing to marry me?" Gu Tingyu asked, staring at Leng Shuang.
Leng Shuang came back to her senses, lowered her head, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "Shuang'er doesn't know."
She doesn't hate Gu Tingyu, she even likes him very much, but she always feels that she is not good enough for Gu Tingyu.
After all, her father was just a businessman, and his father was dead.
"Shuang'er, as long as you nod, I can marry you at any time." Gu Tingyu said, his attitude was very firm.
"Shuang'er, I've been waiting for this moment for too long." Gu Tingyu interrupted Leng Shuang.
Leng Shuang was touched in her heart. The corners of her mouth could not help but curve slightly, and her heart was filled with sweetness.
Gu Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Leng Shuang's look. It seemed that she was willing to marry him.
Gu Tingyu clenched his fists, his eyes shining with perseverance.
He will never let Shuang'er down, nor will he allow anyone to bully Shuang'er.
Leng Shuang raised her eyes to look at Gu Tingyu and asked: "
Your Majesty, I...can I ask you a question?"
"Say." Gu Tingyu said softly.
Leng Shuang gathered up her courage and said, "My lord, have you ever loved me?"
Gu Tingyu was startled, and then he nodded heavily: "I love you."
Leng Shuang pursed her lips, lowered her brows and did not speak again.
Gu Tingyu knew that she was shy, so he sighed softly and said, "Shuang'er, I will wait until the day you nod your head and agree, and I will never force you."
There was a touch of bitterness in Leng Shuang's heart. She closed her eyes gently and said silently in her heart: "Gu Tingyu, don't worry, I will love you, even if you don't belong to me."
Leng Shuang and Gu Tingyu ate together.
At the dinner table, Gu Tingyu kept putting dishes for Leng Shuang to eat.
Leng Shuang took a few mouthfuls and suddenly remembered something and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask, what exactly is wrong with your legs?"
"I did suffer from leg disease in the past, but it has recovered now. Shuang'er doesn't need to worry."
Leng Shuang nodded. Now that Gu Tingyu had recovered, she felt relieved.
After lunch, Leng Shuang was about to leave when she heard Gu Tingyu ask: "Shuang'er, do you want to learn martial arts?"
"Ah?" Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu in shock, obviously not expecting that Gu Tingyu would suddenly ask her such a question.
Gu Tingyu smiled and rubbed Leng Shuang's head, and said lovingly: "I heard that your martial arts skills are extremely high. If you can learn all these moves, you will be more protected when encountering danger in the future."
Leng Shuang's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she shook her head hastily: "No... no..."
She can't even protect herself, so how can she protect others?
Seeing this, Gu Tingyu frowned.
He understood that Leng Shuang refused because of her low self-esteem. With her temper, he really didn't know who could tolerate her temper in the future.
Gu Tingyu sighed and said, "Shuang'er, please go back to your room and rest first. I will leave first."
Leng Shuang hesitated to speak. She wanted to ask about the jade pendant, but she was afraid that asking would offend Gu Tingyu.
That's all, maybe he doesn't remember the jade pendant at all.
Leng Shuang returned to the room alone and lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
"Dong dong dong..." There was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Shuang'er, it's me." Gu Tingyu's gentle voice sounded, "I forgot to take my clothes just now. Can you help me get my clothes?"
"okay……"
Leng Shuang got up and walked to the next room, found Gu Tingyu's clothes, and then pushed the door open and entered.
Inside the house, the candlelight flickered, and the warm yellow candlelight reflected on Gu Tingyu's handsome profile.
His eyelashes are thick and curled, the bridge of his nose is high and straight, his lips are slightly thin, and his overall profile is strong and handsome, making people fall in love with him at a glance.
Leng Shuang stood aside and looked at Gu Tingyu, with a blush on her cheeks.
Gu Tingyu noticed Leng Shuang's presence. He turned his head, showed a faint smile, and asked, "Shuang'er, why is your face so red?"
Leng Shuang was stunned. She blinked her watery eyes, as if she didn't understand why Gu Tingyu would ask such a question.
"You don't need to answer me, as long as I know." Gu Tingyu sighed softly.
In fact, he should have guessed it a long time ago.
Although Shuang'er's appearance now is not far different from when she was fourteen, her figure has gradually become slimmer and her skin has become fairer and more delicate.
"Your Majesty, where are your clothes?" Leng Shuang asked.
"In the closet." Gu Tingyu pointed in the direction of the closet and said.
Leng Shuang's eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that when she got along with Gu Tingyu, their clothes were not hung in the closet.
"I'll put the clothes in the suitcase and come back to you later." After Leng Shuang finished speaking, she carried the suitcase and walked out.
Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang's back, with a dark look hidden in his eyes.
Shuang'er was very guarded against him. Even if she was willing to marry him, she still couldn't completely let go of her guard.
This kind of her made him feel distressed.
"Shuang'er..." Gu Tingyu murmured to himself.
Early the next morning, as soon as Leng Shuang woke up, she saw that Gu Tingyu had finished dressing and was standing in front of the dressing table.
"Your Majesty, let me tie your hair." Leng Shuang said calmly.
"Okay." Gu Tingyu responded.
When Leng Shuang walked to Gu Tingyu's side, her hand paused.
In the mirror, the girl's delicate face is reflected, and her black hair is scattered on her shoulders like a waterfall.
Her skin is extremely white, and her facial features are exquisite and beautiful, just like a fairy, which makes people's hearts beat.
"Shuang'er, you have grown up."
Gu Tingyu's voice was trembling, and his eyes were slightly moist.
Leng Shuang was stunned for a while, and then she finally realized what she was doing: "Your Majesty..."
Gu Tingyu turned his head and his eyes fell on Leng Shuang's face.
There was a trace of panic on her face, as if she was frightened, which made him laugh uncontrollably.
"Shuang'er, you don't have to be afraid, I'm just happy to see you grow up."
Leng Shuang bit her lip and remained silent.
She had never felt that time passed so slowly, as if she could never finish it no matter how far she walked.
Finally, Gu Tingyu walked forward slowly, his hand caressing Leng Shuang's cheek. His movements were extremely gentle, as if he were holding a treasure, and he was reluctant to touch her face.
"Shuang'er, is your appearance disfigured?"
Leng Shuang suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Gu Tingyu in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, I am not disfigured!"
"Oh?" Gu Tingyu raised his eyebrows, "Really?"
Leng Shuang nodded seriously.
Her appearance was the only thing left to her after her parents desperately saved her, how could she destroy it?
"It's a pity that I saw your scar last night." Gu Tingyu sighed, "Shuang'er, if you are willing, I will try my best to treat your face."
Leng Shuang shook his head: "Your Majesty, no need, I don't want others to talk about this face."
She doesn't like people criticizing her appearance, not to mention that her appearance is inherently ugly.
"Shuang'er, this is your luck," Gu Tingyu said, hugging Leng Shuang into his arms, "Don't worry, I don't dislike you."
"Your Highness..." Leng Shuang's eyes were a little complicated. She struggled to escape from Gu Tingyu's arms, "I'm not ready yet."
"Shuang'er, you are my wife, so of course I should take care of you."
Leng Shuang's heart started to beat loudly. She bit her lip. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Your Majesty, I have something else to do. I'll leave first. I will bring the medicine to you later."
