Chapter 403

Gu Zhen lay on the green grass, lazily stretched out his waist, bit his thin lips and smiled at her, "thank you for what happened last night. I don't know if the emperor saw it. But he didn't say anything. I finally passed this level. I hope Chu Changqing won't give me any more problems."

Linglong sat demurely aside and just looked at her and smiled. "The princess is from Xirong. How can she learn to cook the dishes of the state of Qin at once? The emperor probably saw it. But for the sake of the princess's face, I'm sorry to say it. So I won't say it."

"Then, the emperor is really a magnanimous person. He didn't pick my fault. If he really said anything, I might not be able to take it," Gu took out a brocade box from his sleeve. "I promised you. If you help me through the emperor, I'll give you a gift. That's it."

Linglong hesitated to open the brocade box. There was a pearl on the blue brocade inside. "Is this a pearl? Is it Xirong's pearl?"

"Naturally, it's my Xirong pearl. But it's not an ordinary pearl. It can be used to cure diseases." Gu fan rolled on the grass for a few times. "If you get any serious disease one day, you can use this. It has the beauty of bringing back the dead."

"Is it really useful? It sounds divine. I've never heard that pearls can cure diseases," Linglong took out the pearls and looked at them. There's nothing strange, "princess, are you sure you want to give me such a precious thing?"

"It's all in your hands. How can you take it back? Xirong found only a few pearls. The father emperor was originally used to save his mother, but he didn't have time, so he gave me the pearls."

"Why doesn't the princess keep this life-saving thing?"

"I'm not interested in bringing the dead back to life. When it's time to go, people will respond to the call of heaven and go well," Gu looked at the blue sky with some disappointment, "What's the use of bringing the dead back to life? When death comes again in the future, you don't have any way. It's better to follow the destiny and go like this. I think we have fate, so we'll give you this thing. In case you meet the person you like in the future, you can also use it."

Linglong pursed her lips, lowered her voice and said: "Princess, if you like childe Chu, you can tell the emperor the truth. In fact, the emperor doesn't mean to marry you at all. He has only one queen in the harem and hasn't set up any concubines. The emperor has only one queen in his eyes. I'm afraid it's difficult for the princess to marry the emperor. If you tell the emperor, maybe he will help you."

"How could this be possible? I came with Xirong's mission. If I didn't marry the emperor, Chu Changqing wouldn't agree. Where could I go?" Gu Chui smiled bitterly, "I also know that the Emperor didn't put me in his eyes at all. Looking at me is like looking at a little girl, but I must enter the harem of the state of Qin and let Xirong reach an alliance with the state of Qin. Otherwise, my princess will come in vain. How can I be worthy of the people of Xirong."

"Don't make it too difficult for the princess. What can benefit most from the marriage between Xirong and the state of Qin is those high-ranking people. The princess is just a victim of national interests," Linglong frowned. "I remember that when Princess Poyang went to the state of Qi, her whole face was full of sadness, and so does the princess now."

Gu Gu's smile on his lips stiffened. "How can I not know what you all know? It's just to deceive myself and others from my heart. There's no other purpose. I can marry the emperor, but the emperor finally says. It depends on how many chips there are behind me. I'm lucky to hope that the emperor doesn't see me."

Linglong's eyes slowly darkened, "I still have some pity for the princess. Who wants to be with people I don't like? Then the years after that can only be summarized in one word."

"So you should be careful. A lady like you may be casually accused of marriage," Gu Gu sighed. "We still don't say that. We just made friends. We should say something interesting."

"I won't stay in the palace tonight. I really want to go back to guimeng temple," Liu Yuan added after being silent for a while. "I really don't get along with Xiang Wang. If you have time, come to guimeng temple. Feihong and I are there. I must never make you bored."

"What did the king tell you again," Xue ronghua frowned. "Did he say something ugly? If you are dissatisfied with him, I will speak for you."

"That must not work, or others will accuse me behind my back," Liu Yuan smiled with a low eyebrow, "Don't worry, I will come back in the future for your body. You don't have to worry about me. Just have a good rest here. You must remember my words and replenish blood, or you won't look good. Be careful that the children born are also pale. Eat more red dates and pig liver, and let the small kitchen of the palace make them for you."

Xue ronghua sighed slightly, "in fact, the prime minister king is also helpless. He didn't have to be like this. I feel like I'm using him. It's really something I shouldn't do, but he's like this again. I don't know what to do for a while."

"What should we do? Since it's the emperor's order, the minister should listen carefully," Liu Yuan pursed his lips into a line. "Just rest well. There's no better place outside the palace. Spring soon comes to the end. Pregnant women are most afraid of heating in summer. The palace is much cooler than elsewhere, so they're not afraid."

Xue ronghua nodded and said with a smile, "then go back to the dream temple first. When I have time, I'll find you to play. I want to thank the flowers of your peach blossom tree."

After seeing off the long-awaited Liu Yuan, Xue ronghua's room fell into silence again. She walked silently along the bed for a long time. She only heard a burst of footsteps at the door. She looked at the door in a daze. Did Liu Yuan come back again.

A light in front of the door was blocked, and Xue ronghua suddenly had another premonition in his heart. The door was gently opened, revealing a familiar but strange face. He gently pulled up a smile and said, "Why are you standing at the door with this expression? We have been separated for less than three months. Won't you not know me?"

Xue ronghua's eyes were red, his throat made a vague voice, bit his pale lips and said, "why did you come to see me today? Do you know how much I miss you here?"

"I know," Chu Zongge couldn't help but stretch out his hand to hug her, "I know how you feel, because I think of you like this. After you left, I went to bed in your ward palace every night and looked at the place where you slept, as if you were sleeping beside me."

Xue ronghua chuckled, but her eyes were still red. She nestled in his arms. "There's no one in ward palace. Where do you go to sleep? Others thought our emperor was crazy and went to sleep where there was no one."

"I sleep in my wife's room. Do others want to gossip behind my back? It seems that I'm going to straighten out the harem," Chu Zongge kissed her forehead. "But you're the only one in the harem, and I have nothing to straighten out."

Xue ronghua's lips flashed a sweet smile, "how's Princess Gu? What have those Xirong messengers done after they know I'm gone?"

"Those Xirong envoys are trying to make me like Gu Yi. They don't know you've left the palace," Chu Zongge sighed leisurely. "Princess Gu Yi is not interested in me at all. She's trying to perfunctory me and the envoy, just like a child."

"What would you do with her?"

"There's no need to deal with it. I want to help her and Chu Changqing," Chu Zongge said, and then explained, "although her father hated me, her mother helped me and caused a misunderstanding between their husband and wife because of helping me. I've always been ashamed of her mother. If her heart is on Chu Changqing, I will help her."

"That's good. It's a marriage. Liu Yuan just left the palace before you came. She and Xiang Wang were still wrong, so she didn't stay to return to the dream temple." Xue ronghua showed his mother's tenderness in his eyes, held his hand and pressed it on his stomach. "Touch it and see, he grew up slowly."

Chu Zongge's smile was like a spring breeze, and his eyes were too gentle. He stroked her bulging stomach once and again, and the corners of his lips inadvertently tilted up. "He has grown up a lot and is a circle bigger than when he left. It seems that the food of the king's residence is good. When you go back to the palace for production, it will be like putting a ball in. It takes eight big sedans to pick you up."

Xue ronghua couldn't help pinching his face. "Don't talk nonsense. How can you get out of the palace? Isn't there something else in the palace?"

"I really miss my wife and unborn children, so I want to come and have a look. I've told the king Xiang that I'll rest here for two nights. Xu Hanfei is still waiting for me to go back," Chu Zongge's eyes covered with a layer of mist. "Now I can't scare the snake. Whether it's Xirong or Xu Hanfei, I have to come slowly."

Xue ronghua nodded approvingly. "You're right. I think so too. I still have a dragon fetus in my belly. If something really happens, it's bad. It's the most important to hinder the child. You don't have to think about me when you have something in the palace. I will take good care of our children."

"It's hard for you to leave you alone outside the palace," Chu Zongge frowned. "It's strange that resident Liu Yuan should take care of you in the palace. Why did he still return to guimeng temple? Can't Xiangwang and her be so tolerant?"

"The king's mind still hasn't wavered," Xue ronghua bit his lip. "The monk hates him very much. Fortunately, my body recovers day by day. It must be unimportant. The monk said he would come to see me often. You don't have to worry."

"This king is really a chicken rib. Even I don't know what to do. I hope he can leave Kyoto as he said after you produce," Chu Zongge lowered his eyes. "It's good for the three of us."
