All his life

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Duan Ce has been busy for the past few days. After coming back from court every day, he is in the study room. Only when it is time to eat can he sit down and talk to Gu Jingyan.

So Duan Ce made it very clear, and Gu Jingyan also knew that Duan Ce loved him, but it was impossible to get along very well all of a sudden.

So during this period of time, Gu Jingyan felt that the two of them were very awkward when they got along, and didn't know what to say.

Gu Jingyan can feel it, how can Duan Ce not know?It's just that there is always time to get used to it, so Duan Ce didn't have much to say, every day was the same as usual, the only one who really felt uncomfortable was Gu Jingyan.

Since he started talking, Duan Ce never went to the backyard again, and stayed in Gu Jingyan's room every day, no matter how late it was, he always quietly at very late hours.

So the concubines in the backyard are pretty smart, they didn't come to trouble Gu Jingyan, and they didn't come and walk around, they stayed in their yard all day.

There were no concubines around him, Gu Jingyan almost forgot that there were still some concubines in the palace.If it weren't for the group of smiling and proud women sitting below, Gu Jingyan would not be able to remember that there are women in the backyard.

According to the usual practice, the concubines and concubines in the mansion have to go to the main room for training on the day before each festival, and give instructions to prepare for the next day.

Gu Jingyan thought it was funny when he saw that Duan Celin hadn't been lucky for a long time but still put on a smug look. Suddenly, he found a few traces of Guoshuo's mansion in this Palace of Prince Ce.

Suddenly, I realized that this group of women is actually quite pathetic. Although some of them wanted to come in, some might have been forced to come in. They were not here in the first place, but because of certain factors, they couldn’t leave.

For the future life, fight for youth, appearance, family background, and favor, for fear that the next person to die will be yourself, worrying about being afraid all the time...

However, I waited hard every day, but I couldn't wait for the man who was regarded as the sky. The next second, I got the news that the man was with other women. Enduring heartache but still put on a generous face, After turning around and smashing everything that could be smashed, he still couldn't calm down.

On such a day, how could Gu Jingyan be unfamiliar?It's just that he would never have imagined in his life that he would become one of them.

Although Duan Ce is pampered now, how can he guarantee how long it will last?That's what he said, but Gu Jingyan still couldn't convince himself to really believe in Duan Ce?

On the first seat on the lower right, there is a petite and exquisite beauty, Concubine Xi, with a delicate face and beautiful eyes. Apart from her petite body, this face is also immature.

It looks like she is just a daughter of Ji Ji, but her real age is double ten, but contrary to her appearance, this concubine Xi has been in charge of everything in the backyard of Prince Ce's mansion, except for Gu Jingyan, who is the only side concubine, After Gu Jingyan came over, the power went to Gu Jingyan.

This skill and rank are different from Concubine Li's. After watching the tit-for-tat confrontation between them a few times, Gu Jingyan once again felt that the most poisonous woman's heart.

In the past half a year or so, except for the incident of Concubine Li, no one has targeted Gu Jingyan, but after thinking about it, Concubine Li might have encouraged her.

Now, Concubine Xi made a sound as if she was troubled, and looked at Gu Jingyan with a pink handkerchief in her hand.

"Princess, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It will be late at night for the prince to come back from the palace. Maybe it will be even later after the banquet. Do you think this will still be done as before?"

Putting away his thoughts, Gu Jingyan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of the tea, feeling amused.before?He has only been here for less than half a year, how could he know what it was like before?

But before Gu Jingyan answered, Duan Ce's voice came from outside, and when everyone looked at the door, they saw Duan Ce approaching gradually.

"There is no need to be too grand this time. Tomorrow, the king and princess will enter the palace for a banquet, and you can just have a meal in the mansion, and then hold a small banquet. When the king comes back, I will enjoy the moon with you."

After entering the room, Duan Ce took the empty main seat on the other side. After speaking, he took the teacup from Gu Jingyan's hand, opened the lid of the teacup, and drank it all in one go.

The tea was the best Tieguanyin tea, which should have been tasted carefully, but Duan Ce drank it up like this, Gu Jingyan suddenly felt very distressed.

chuff!

Silently labeling someone in his heart, Gu Jingyan watched Duan Ce put the cup down with a grim expression.

"Hey, I just drank a cup of tea. Seeing that your flesh hurts, I will bring you a few catties tomorrow.

no? "

As soon as Duan Ce raised his eyes, he saw the face of the person opposite with a slightly disdainful attitude. Looking at the teacup from the corner of his eye, Duan Ce could only helplessly speak out.

The concubines below are the ones who hate this kind of scene the most. They have fantasized about such a prince countless times, but they are facing a man. This will make them feel ashamed as women.

Gu Jingyan just turned his head without a word, not wanting to talk to someone anymore, and saw people with their heads lowered one by one.

"As the king said just now, Concubine Lao Xi is the only one involved in this matter."

Duan Ce is naturally aware of the changes below, but he doesn't want to pay attention to Gu Jingyan, he just wants to drive people away quickly, as it is now.

"Yes, as ordered."

Concubine Xi, who was named, got up and leaned forward, with her head slightly sideways and her face lowered. The obedient side face seemed just right to Duan Ce.

"Go down."

He raised his hand and pinched his neck vigorously. He was a little tired from being busy with government affairs these days, especially his neck, which was sore and sore. He didn't want to see those sitting women anymore, so Duan Ce waved his hand to dismiss him.

"Yes, the concubine is resigning."

No matter those concubines didn't want to leave anymore, and they didn't dare to disobey Duan Ce's order, they all got up and saluted before retreating.

"You have a good rest. Tomorrow we will go to the palace for a banquet. I will let people prepare the clothes and so on. Alright, let's go to dinner first."

After Duan Che saw those concubines go out one by one, he stood up and stretched, lowered his head and spoke to Gu Jing who was still sitting.

"If you say that you don't want to go, then don't say it. Which family's concubine is not with his prince, or do you specifically want those concubines to enter the palace with me instead of you?"

"Duan Ping, go to Bushan, it's here."

Gu Jingyan just sat silently, watched Duan Ce call Duan Ping Bushan and started to bustle around again, this is just the teahouse of Qiuyan Academy, not Duan Ce's study, busy can't be because of business, Just walking around the room.

When Duan Ce gets along with Gu Jingyan, he is always the one who talks a lot, and now he is not idle when he sits down to eat.

"Are you always bored in the house these days?"

Putting a piece of crispy pork ribs into Gu Jingyan's bowl, Duan Ce said, Gu Jingyan likes vegetarian food and doesn't like meat, so he always picks some vegetables and eats vegetarian food every meal.

Duan Ce supervised and drank the indispensable medicinal diet every day, so this supplement can't make up much.

"That's not true, I'll also go to your study and take a walk occasionally."

Picking the rice in the bowl, Gu Jingyan started talking to Duan Ce, using chopsticks to move the piece of crispy pork ribs back and forth.

"No appetite? Or feeling unwell?"

Seeing that Gu Jingyan hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls of food, Duan Ce worriedly stretched out his hand to touch Gu Jingyan's forehead to test his body temperature. After feeling normal, the tour guide looked at Gu Jingyan.

"No."

"If it's really uncomfortable, remember to tell me, if I'm not at home, tell Duan Ping, don't hold back, you know?"

"I know you don't like going to the palace, especially those activities, but you have to get used to it, don't think too much about it."

Duan Ce put his left hand on Gu Jingyan's head with his left hand just after testing the temperature, and patted it easily. He knew Gu Jingyan's concerns, but he couldn't hide him at home, and he had already spoken, Duan Ce He thinks that Gu Jingyan should be integrated into his life instead of resisting as before.

"You have had no friends since you were a child, and you have had a hard time. I understand that you can't trust other people deeply, but I am different. I have spent my whole life with you. My life, your life, this should also be together. You It’s okay if you don’t believe it now, but I will wait until that day, so don’t resist anymore, okay?”

Leaving the stool, Duan Ce stood two steps in front of Gu Jingyan, squatted down slowly, knelt on one knee, and raised his head to look up at the person sitting.Both hands also held Gu Jingyan's hand on his lap, only Gu Jingyan could be seen in his eyes.

"My lord, in fact, you don't have to do this. We didn't meet before we came here. It's shameful to ask you to marry a man as your wife. If it were me, I would do the same."

When the hand was pulled, Gu Jingyan pulled it out subconsciously, but Duan Ce couldn't pull it out with too much force.Regarding Duan Ce's words and performance, Gu Jingyan has already controlled his heart, and has gradually favored Duan Ce before these days.But the identity of a man troubled Duan Ce with the biggest obstacle, especially in the afternoon, seeing those concubines who were friendly on the surface but resented secretly, it was a wake-up call.

He doesn't want to be like his mother, if Duan Ce's interest in him is over, then he will wait in a courtyard like a cold palace every day, and he will be miserable, and besides, he is still a man!

Now they are limited to and have always been strangers and acquaintances. When Duan Ce no longer looks at him, the days to come will not be so embarrassing.

After all, Gu Jingyan still couldn't believe it, and didn't dare to put all his eggs in one basket. Although he had nothing, at least he wouldn't become a resentful woman who didn't get any care from her husband!

"You rejected me so much because you're a man?"

Duan Ce looked up at Gu Jingyan, looking straight into his eyes. After hearing that sentence, Duan Ce's lips parted slightly, and he spoke out with difficulty.It's not that Gu Jingyan didn't see the pain in Duan Ce's eyes, but he still nodded.

"I thought we made it very clear that night. You know, I never had a moment when I disliked you as a man. I knew it was you when you married. It's hard to believe you, do you know?"

"So, stop using the man as an excuse to reject me, okay?"
