The woman who taught Gu Qingyi the martial arts was called Jin Xiu. She was a rare beauty, and although she always wore simple clothes, her eyes could not help but stare at her natural beauty. Having lived two lives, Gu Qingyi had always felt that she had broadened her horizons. She had also seen beauties of sorts before.
However, every time she saw the rich brocade, she would be stunned.
Perhaps it was because she was good-looking, but Gu Qingyi had always felt that her every move was so beautiful. Even if she accompanied him in a horse stance, perspiring profusely, she was still as beautiful as before.
The worst thing about her was that she was even more attractive when she had an unskilled opponent like him by her side.
Fortunately, there were only a few people in Gu Qingyi's courtyard, and most of them were all from young mischievous families. Although everyone was surprised, it didn't cause any unnecessary trouble.
It was just that one day, he didn't know why Xuanyuan Lian had come here, but he happened to see Madam Jin teaching Gu Qingyi martial arts. This time, it was really amazing! Our crown prince was truly amazing! From now on, not only do he report to the Gu palace every day, he was even more serious about learning martial arts than Gu Qingyi, his real disciple …
"Master, master, are you thirsty? I'll get water for you!" Gu Qingyi's clothes were drenched, and she sat on the ground, as if she had just been fished out of a pond. She didn't want to move at all. However, Xuanyuan Liangzhi, who was squatting in the horse stance with a lively and vigorous appearance, followed closely behind him, trying to curry favor with him.
To be honest, the first time Gu Qingyi saw this kind of scene, she felt a bit uncomfortable. However, she slowly watched it too, so she didn't feel anything.
Of course, as far as she was concerned, the relationship between her and Xuanyuan Lian was only a matter of having no solution. If Xuanyuan Lian gave her a choice in the end and she didn't have any way of getting together, she could only accept the arrangements. After all, all of this was within the emperor's will. He was just a girl, so he didn't dare disobey the emperor's decree.
But if … If they didn't end up together, she wouldn't have let herself be in any danger.
It wasn't easy for her to live a new life, and she cared a lot about her own life. Before she was completely prepared, she wouldn't let herself be tested. She had also suffered this fate in the past. Could it be that she had given up just like that and did not even struggle at all? At that time, she had thought that since she had no way of escaping, she could only face it bravely. At the very least, she had to go to Xuanyuan Jing. Xuanyuan Lian was also a pretty good candidate.
Of course, the most important thing was that she had personally witnessed Xuanyuan Lian's appearance in front of Gu Huayan.
Although he didn't want to admit it, there were some things that were true. For example, Gu Huayan was much prettier than him. There was no doubt about this.
Gu Qingyi had always known in her heart that even in her previous life, she had also understood in her heart that when she found out that the man had chosen to give up on her for Gu Qingyi, although she felt sad in her heart, she wasn't completely unprepared. She had clearly seen all these years and was just not willing to admit it.
After all, he was still a girl. Even though he knew that there were many things he couldn't compare to others in, he still hoped that the person he met would be the right person. Even if he was inferior in every aspect, he was still the most special existence in his heart.
When she saw Xuanyuan Lian looking down on Gu Huoyan, Gu Qingyi admitted that she was happy in her heart.
At that moment, she slowly began to calm down and began to seriously examine this person that she had never even thought about before. Compared to Gu Huayan, he was indeed not the least bit outstanding. Gu Qingyi was very excited that he had chosen her over his looks. At least... In this world, every man valued the looks of women, and only when they were attracted to a face would there be a next step. However, in his current situation, to be honest, he was just an ordinary person, a person who would not stand out in the crowd at all.
Initially, she had thought that fate had really been fair to her this time. No matter what, his status could be considered noble. Prince Lian's son, if it really could be considered as being on par with her, then …
However, it seemed like …
"You guys are busy, I'll take a rest." Quickly standing up, Gu Qingyi felt as if something was blocking her heart.
In fact, she still did not know why things turned out like this. Back then, Xuanyuan Liangzhi had only said that she wanted to practice martial arts with him, but she felt that learning martial arts by herself with her master was the same. She felt that learning martial arts by herself was no different from learning by herself.
Thus, he nodded his head without any hesitation.
But who would have thought that things would turn out like this?
"Mm, go, go. It's enough to have me here."
As if she didn't see that Gu Qingyi was in a bad mood at all, Xuanyuan Lian didn't only not keep anyone, she even waved her hand to tell her to hurry up and leave.
His face was still full of smiles as he tried to curry favor with her. He kept running back and forth without showing any signs of unhappiness.
"Rest for an hour."
From the looks of her, she seemed to have no idea that he was angry and even told him that they would meet again in an hour. From her tone, Gu Qingyi only had one feeling that she had gone too far.
He had truly gone too far. How could such a person speak to him in such a manner?
He was Xuan Yuan's fiancee. Under such circumstances, both of them were telling him to leave. If he left, then only the two of them would remain. Gu Qingyi's expression turned uglier and uglier. She felt depressed and thought to herself, 'This is truly shameless. Don't you know that men and women shouldn't be intimate with each other?'
Originally, the reason why she said these words was to provoke Xuanyuan Lian and the beautiful brocade, but she never would have thought that these two people were not the least bit happy, and instead had an expression of wishing that they could disappear immediately. This way, Gu Qingyi's heart became even more depressed: "Okay, okay, you guys rest, I'm not feeling well today, so I'm not going with you guys."
Sneering coldly, Gu Qingyi didn't say anything else and turned to leave.
To be honest, she really regretted it a little now. If she had treated it as if she did not want to see Xuanyuan Liankang, would it be completely different from now?
After all, if that wasn't the case, then Xuanyuan Lian wouldn't have known about the embroidery and naturally wouldn't have had a choice.
But... There is no regret in this world …
Moreover, if some people wanted to turn bad, it was actually a very simple matter. It was obvious that the amount of time he had spent with others wasn't that short. Until now, Gu Qingyi still couldn't believe it …
Gu Qingyi turned around and entered her room, then slammed the door shut, leaving the two of them looking at each other in dismay.
Seeing Gu Qingyi walk in and the door was tightly shut, it was obvious that she was truly angry and it was a very serious matter.
In this sort of situation, he understood very clearly that he should have immediately been by her side, and he should have explained it more clearly … However, there were some things that couldn't be explained in a few words. It was best to wait for her to explain everything to him.
"Alright, if you have anything to say, then say it. She is no longer here." As he watched Gu Qingyi disappear behind the door, Xuanyuan Lian's and Ye Qingyi's smile remained on their faces. However, this time, the smile did not reach his eyes and his eyes were still clear and bright.
After so many years, in the eyes of others, his brain wasn't enough. Let alone others, even his parents would feel that their brains weren't enough …
Moreover, in this world, he knew way too much, and understanding too much about his father would make him too tired. In any case, with his parents supporting him behind his back, no matter what, it wouldn't be enough for him to worry about it. The only thing he needed to worry about was studying properly.
But this time …
However, this matter was related to the person he loved. In this situation, he had to clarify this matter, and only by clarifying this would he have the chance to truly be with her would he be able to make her understand that he was a trustworthy person.
Although he had been with her for quite a while now, her impression of him was still the same as before. In her eyes, her skills didn't have much of a brain, so she wasn't able to rely on him as a representative.
If he had just met her by chance, then he really wouldn't meddle in other people's business and naturally wouldn't think too much about it. But the situation was different now, sooner or later he and her would be together, and he had the right to know what fate was in front of him. Judging from her expression, he knew that if he didn't perform well, he wouldn't get anything in the end.
Originally, no matter what he did, he would always be careful to not make a mistake.
But now, this woman …
The first time she saw her, she felt something was different, or perhaps it was a woman who had never seen blood before. Seeing such a thing, other than anger and embarrassment, she no longer had any intelligence.
It was the first time he noticed that this person was unusual …
It was an instinct, an instinct for danger. He instinctively felt that he was in danger. In this situation, his instinct was to stay away from this person and leave him.
Of course, if it was just him alone, he would definitely wish to be far away. However, the current situation was different, as it was not only related to him, but Gu Qingyi as well. No matter what, he couldn't let her face the danger, not even if he had to put himself in danger.
"Say what? I don't know what the Crown Prince means. " Embroidery smiled and looked at Xuanyuan Liankong with a puzzled expression. It was as if she didn't know what he was talking about at all.
Of course, Xuanyuan Lian was not anxious. Since he had seen through the problem, he would not let it go so easily.
However, she could tell that this person was also wasting time with her. Since that was the case, he might as well see who could continue on …
"Humph!" Don't understand? How modest of you! If my guess is not wrong, you are the emperor's personal secret guard, right? "
