Gu Yu did not dare to look at Junze and opened the box under his gaze.
Inside was indeed the black jade finger ring she had given away, but Junze returned it intact.
It seemed to indicate that Junze's feelings for her were returned intact.
Junze said: "Do you like it?"
A sweet smell surged up in Gu Yu's throat. She suppressed it and whispered, "I like it."
Junze looked at Gu Yu's pale face and felt exhausted, and said, "As you wish."
Junze didn't want to see this wedding to the end, so after saying these words, he took Songyang away.
Songyang trotted to catch up with Junze and asked, "Cousin, what is in that box that scares Young Master Gu like that?"
Junze had a cold face and said nothing, which made Songyang feel a chill in his heart for no reason.
He got on the carriage and left from the bustling Zhenguo Palace.
The hustle and bustle outside the car contrasts with the desolation inside.
Songyang only thought that Junze didn't know Gu Yu's feelings for him, and felt sad for his wishful thinking, so he couldn't help but say:
"Anyway, she is married now, and I am afraid she has entered the bridal chamber. I might as well tell you. When she was unconscious, I gave her blood, and she woke up for a while, and she called your name in a daze.
But later I told her that it was your blood, but she wouldn't let me tell you the truth. It's not that she doesn't have you in her heart, it's just that she is selfish and cowardly, and now she is getting married without any guilt. Such a duplicity, a selfish and cowardly person
I don’t deserve you at all.”
Junze closed his eyes to rest, and said coldly: "If you say one more thing, get out of here."
Songyang's face turned red with anger. She made a special trip today to vent her anger on her cousin. She said this to let her cousin see Gu Yu's despicable character as soon as possible, but his cousin didn't appreciate it.
Songyang cursed and said: "A dog biting Lu Dongbin doesn't know a good heart."
He asked Guan Yan outside to stop the car and jumped out himself.
Junze opened his eyes, and veins popped out on his forehead.
No matter how affectionate and sad Gu Yu was, she still refused to take a step forward and stand beside him.
Since this is the result that Gu Yu would choose even if he was in pain and heartbreak, he would just make it happen.
...
No one bothered me anymore, and all subsequent processes went smoothly.
It wasn't until the sky darkened and the guests left after having their fill of wine and food that the Zhenguo Palace returned to peace.
When the outsiders left, Ji Miaoxian quickly took off the cumbersome hair accessories on her head and took off her heavy wedding clothes, leaving only a layer of underwear.
The old lady came over and said to Ji Miaoxian: "Thank you for your hard work, my child. The Gu Mansion will be your home from now on, so don't be polite."
Ji Miaoxian waved her hand and said, "Okay."
After saying that, Ji Miaoxian sat down at the table and started to eat.
The old lady glanced at Gu Yu, who was sitting on the wedding bed with an ugly face.
Thinking of Gu Yu's reaction during the King Xiaoyao's reign today, and the cloak that King Xiaoyao put on her body on a snowy night, there is nothing she doesn't understand.
She knelt down on Gu Yu's bed, held Gu Yu's hand, and said with compassion in her eyes: "Yu'er."
Gu Yu looked at her and said calmly: "Mom, I have been busy for a long day and I am a little tired."
The old lady wiped the tears on her face and said, "Mother knows, mother understands your suffering, you have a good rest."
Gu Yu nodded and said, "You should also have a good rest."
After the old lady left, Ji Miaoxian let herself go completely, kicked off her shoes, held a chicken leg in one hand and an apple in the other, and called to Gu Yu: "Cousin, you can eat too."
He seems to regard himself as the master here.
Gu Yu sat in front of her, took only two bites and then put it down.
Ji Miaoxian helped her pick up the food and said, "Eat more so you have the strength to do what you want to do."
Gu Yu took two more symbolic bites, but they tasted the same.
But she knew that her body couldn't bear it if this continued. Now that the court was in a critical period of turmoil, she couldn't fall down, so she forced herself to eat more.
After eating, Gu Yu helped Ji Miaoxian collect all the peanuts and longans on the bed without using others' help, and said: "You sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the couch."
The wedding nightclub has to be a show-off. The room is not small and soft enough for an adult to sleep in.
Ji Miaoxian smiled and said: "It's quite good to get along with people like you. You always think about others when you feel wronged."
Gu Yu knew that Ji Miaoxian saw things clearly and what happened today could not be hidden from her eyes. She said calmly: "I'm not wronged."
Ji Miaoxian wouldn't be polite to Gu Yu, he would sleep on the bed naturally.
It was just that Young Master Gu, who said he was not aggrieved before going to bed, let out a tiny sob in the dead of night.
As soon as Ji Miaoxian sighed, he asked, "Did I wake you up?"
Ji Miaoxian stared at the bed curtain, feeling lucky that she was born ruthless and desireless, and said, "Cry if you want, I won't laugh at you."
There was no sound from Gu Yu's side again.
In the darkness, Ji Miaoxian frowned.
Nanning Street.
Jun Xian climbed up on the roof and said, "It's boring to drink alone. My second uncle will accompany you."
Junze said a little drunkenly: "Lanlan is asleep?"
Jun Xian said: "Well, she knew that she was leaving Kyoto soon, and she couldn't bear to leave you and the fifth prince. She cried for a long time, and it was finally possible to coax her to sleep."
Junze smiled softly and said: "Are you really planning to be alone in this life? Raise Lanlan as your daughter?"
Jun Xiandao: "It's good to be alone."
Junze picked up the wine jar and took a sip.
Jun Xian said: "So the pressure for the Jun family to have heirs is placed on you. Find a woman to get married as soon as possible and have a pair of lovely children."
Junze said: "Let's talk about it later."
Jun Xian said: "Everyone is already married, what are you waiting for?"
As early as in Jiangnan, Jun Xian had guessed that the two of them were destined not to have a long-term relationship. At that time, Jun Ze also swore nonsense like just being friends.
Now that they are getting married, Junze has completely given up.
Junze clicked his tongue and said, "Second uncle, are you here to drink with me or are you here to cause trouble for me?"
Jun Xian smiled and said: "Don't mention it anymore, drink and drink, I'm going to leave, it can be regarded as practicing for me."
Junze said: "Anyway, there has been peace in Jiangnan recently. Wouldn't it be better for you and Lanlando to stay in Kyoto for a while?"
Jun Xian took a sip of wine and said, "Kingto is a sad place, so don't wait."
Junze lowered his eyes and said: "The fifth prince is reluctant to let you go. He is not living well in the palace. The Holy Father is not a good father. During the time when you and Lan Lan are here, he can still be more cheerful."
Especially after Derong left, he was forced to suppress all the sharp points in his body and become an obedient prince alone in the palace.
In the past, the fifth prince always caused trouble. When he was busy helping the fifth prince clean up the mess, he felt that he had a bad temper and could not become a great person.
But now that he has changed his temper, Junze feels distressed when he sees him suppressing himself and acting like a zombie all day long.
Growth is a process full of bitterness and tears. Everyone goes in the direction expected by others, but their original self becomes completely different.
Jun Xian took a sip of wine and said: "When I see the fifth prince, I always think of your aunt. If your aunt knew better, she would be so sad to see the fifth prince being tortured like this in the palace."
The fifth prince was not like this when he was a child. He was innocent and straightforward like other children.
It's just that the Holy Emperor blamed him for the death of Queen Xiaomin, and he never looked down upon him well.
The people in the palace acted according to the prevailing situation, showing respect on the surface but gossiping behind their backs. Over time, the fifth prince developed this kind of temperament.
Jun Xian had the best relationship with his younger sister Jun Menglan. Knowing that his younger sister, who was held in the palm of the family, died in childbirth in the palace, he wished he could kill the Lord.
But that was the Ninth Five Emperor. No matter how much he hated him, he could not kill the king, and he could not even ask for justice.
They could only watch the miserable death of their sister who was held in their hands, and they could only watch helplessly as the Holy Emperor mourned his deceased wife affectionately while bringing women into the palace one after another.
After Jun Xian left the Jun family, he went to Jiangnan just because Jun Menglan once said:
"Jiangnan has beautiful scenery, but it's a pity that as a queen, I can't go there in person. If my second brother has a chance, please go and see it for me."
Junze found his aunt from his memory. Even after she became the queen, she would still joke like a child in private, telling him that the candied haws must be washed before eating.
When he stamped his feet angrily because the icing on the candied haws had melted, she slapped her legs and laughed.
But as soon as the palace people came closer, she stopped smiling again and became a dignified and honest queen.
The one your Majesty misses is Queen Xiaoming.
But what Jun's family misses is Jun Menglan.
Junze felt even more melancholy. Everyone was changing, he was changing, and so was Gu Yu.
There are always so many things in life that are beyond one's control, making it difficult for people to struggle.
Junze raised his glass, looked at the crescent moon from afar, and drank away his sorrow.
