All his life

"I don't want to eat."

Swallowing the Sixi meatballs in his mouth, Gu Jingyan shook his head at the crispy meat that was passed to his mouth again, with a face of refusal, Duan Ce didn't force it when he saw this, turned his chopsticks and ate it by himself.

Duan Ce is used to performances on stage, besides, for him, the most beautiful person in the world is quietly cuddling him beside him, what are those on stage compared to him?

"Don't you like watching it?"

While eating all the time, Duan Ce also paid attention to Gu Jingyan, for fear that something might happen to him suddenly.It's just that Duan Ce saw that Gu Jingyan was either looking at him eating, or at the rose flowers on the table, and was so bored that he reached out to play with them.

So Duan Ce pointed to the performance on the stage, and asked Gu Jingyan who was bored playing flowers.

"What catches your eyes."

Gu Jingyan saw Duan Ce coming to talk to her, and finally gave up on the few rose flowers that had been destroyed to the point of being horrific, and followed Duan Ce's slender fingers to look at them, and said angrily.

Before, he only cared about surviving and paving the way for his own future, so how could he have time to see and admire those beautiful women, besides, those women in the backyard were simply Gu Jingyan’s nightmare when he was a child, and he had long been interested in those who are prone to crying, fickle Jealousy women have no interest, let alone marry Duan Ce later, they have no interest in women at all.

"Why marry?"

Thinking about it, Gu Jingyan suddenly said something like this resentfully, the attention that has been down and the current atmosphere can only rely on Duan Ce, so Gu Jingyan is naturally unhappy.

But in Duan Ce's eyes, that was blatantly acting like a baby to him in front of everyone, although those who noticed thought so.

"Then what do you want?"

Duan Ce, who was in a good mood, wiped some debris from Gu Jingyan's face with his clean hands, and asked in a soft tone, only Gu Jingyan was left in his bright eyes.

"Why marry and not marry? Obviously I am also a man, and I have never married a wife!"

The more Gu Jingyan thought about it, the less angry he became. It was so difficult for him to regain the status of a prince. He had never felt or experienced anything, and he was forced to marry to this strange ghost place to be a princess.

If you give him five years, he will become a prince, he will marry a wife, and let his first wife be a noble concubine!It's not like it is now, it's someone else's princess! !

"Okay, okay, I will support you in whatever you want to do when you go back, okay? You never tell me what's in your heart, how can I guess what's in your heart?"

Seeing Gu Jingyan pointing his finger at the table, Duan Ce was worried that Gu Jingyan would hurt himself if he was too powerful, so he held Gu Jingyan's Sujing hand in his palm.

His hand was pulled, Gu Jingyan raised his eyebrows, and went to check the condition of the wine glasses on the table.

"Fool, I didn't drink, and I wasn't drunk."

Understanding Duan Ce's meaning, Duan Ce couldn't help being amused, stroked Gu Jingyan's long black hair, tied it up with Shun Shun, and said with a smile.

"I really don't know how long I will have to wait until you let go of your defenses, but it doesn't matter, I can wait."

Flattening his mouth, Gu Jingyan chose to ignore this sentence.Seeing this, Duan Ce he sighed, take your time, anyway, with people by his side, there is no reason why he couldn't force it.

Duan Ce chose to end the topic by himself, and Gu Jingyan was also happy to do so, and the two returned to silence, sitting separately.Gu Jingyan propped his chin with one hand and looked bored watching the show on the stage, while Duan Ce occasionally turned his head to look at Gu Jingyan, without making a sound to disturb, the two were at ease.

From coming in to now, the emperor Duan Lin sitting in the highest position has been looking at Duan Ce and the two from time to time. He can see the interaction between Duan Ce and Gu Jingyan. While waiting and watching Gu Jingyan pick up the dishes, Duan Lin forgot about the imperial concubine who was sitting next to him, and remembered a certain scene, which was deeply suppressed by Duan Lin in his heart, and flexibly reappeared in Duan Lin's eyes, so Duan Ce and Gu Jingyan at the bottom overlapped.

It's just that there are too many differences. He didn't sit beside that person voluntarily like Gu Jingyan at that time, nor was he willing to let that person feed him and make such intimate actions...

Duan Lin is different from Duan Ce. Duan Ce entered the palace from the outside only after taking part in the exam, and he recognized the prince.He, Duan Lin, was born as the nineteenth son of the extremely honorable emperor of Shenming Kingdom, and his biological mother was also a noble concubine of his father, so he is much more noble than a bastard like Duan Ce.

It's just that although he is the nineteenth son of the emperor, he is also the nineteenth son of the emperor. Although his father and queen mother love him, they never hug him like ordinary parents and feed him when he was a child.The mother and concubine always let him learn the four classics and five books, military martial arts, so that he is brilliant in front of his father.

As for the emperor father, ever since Duan Ce entered the palace, he paid even less attention to him. The throne was not his, but the emperor father and Duan Ce were angry and conferred it on him before he died, so the foundation was not stable. , internal and external troubles, his mother and concubine pressed him to make her the empress dowager, but he had never seen him struggling.

But it's so ridiculous that he is the proud son of heaven on the surface, but he is like a puppet in secret, and he will be valued like his life. How ridiculous, he is just an empty shell emperor who can't get anything he wants.

The program on the stage has been changed, and now it is a concubine Duan Linxin has brought in, with delicate features, her appearance is not very good-looking in this harem of three thousand beauties, but she has a scholarly temperament like blue waves , in the harem full of gorgeousness, suddenly got Duan Lin's sight.

The concubine was wearing a light purple court dress and a butterfly-shaped golden fork step shaker. When she bowed her head and played the piano, the step shaker moved along with it, making a clear and crisp sound.

"Zheng" sounded a quiet and mournful piano sound, which disturbed the thoughts of everyone, and they all looked at the stage. The euphemistic and sad opening song, the low and deep piano sound spread out in this bright night.

Gu Jingyan, who understands music, knows after a few zither sounds that this is the song "Feng Qiuhuang", which has been famous forever and is specially used for courtship between lovers. The reason why this song "Feng Qiuhuang" has been widely known to the world is because It's because its sound is full of complaints that you can't get what you want, and it's obviously very unpleasant to play it on this beautiful night with a full moon.

Gu Jingyan heard gasps coming from beside him, looked at the people in the audience, and at the concubine who was playing with her head down, Gu Jingyan could tell from the eyes of those people that they had already seen the concubine Some of them were shaking their heads, and some concubines couldn't hide their gloating in their eyes.

Looking at Duan Lin above again, as soon as Duan Lin heard the sound of the piano, Duan Lin frowned, raised his left hand slightly, and the hand had already reached the table, and suddenly stopped, as if remembering something, the hand could not stop. I understand, the concubine whose eyes fell on the stage did not move, as if she was seeing something through the concubine.

As soon as Duan Lin heard the sound of the piano, he felt angry, and wanted to make the concubine stop, but with one move of his hand, the figure of the man appeared in front of his eyes, looked directly at him indifferently and said:

"Duan Lin, I thought you were just cold by nature, but I never knew you were so heartless, maybe you have no heart?"

Then the indifference on his face changed to disappointment, and he turned and left resolutely, leaving only a back that got farther and farther away until it disappeared.

No heart?Ha, can a heart survive in this sinister royal family?If you have the heart, then where did the phrase ruthless is the emperor's family come from?

Duan Lin couldn't listen anymore. Everyone below looked at the gloomy Duan Lin above, and at the concubine who was still playing, shook their heads and sighed, this concubine! , I'm afraid I won't be able to live poorly!

Just when everyone was already looking at the concubine on the stage with the eyes of someone who was about to die, the sound of the piano suddenly changed, from sadness to joy, which was not surprising at all, it felt like finally falling in love after a bitter crush. Accepted by the sweetheart and brisk.

Listening to the gentle and pleasant sound of the piano, Duan Lin let go of his frowning brows, and fell down on the chair like a mountain falling.

Gu Jingyan accidentally saw such a scene, and couldn't help being taken aback, Duan Lin was still young, especially after Duan Ce's introduction, he realized that Duan Lin, who looked old and stern, was only 16 years old this year and didn't even have a birthday However, there are faint traces of white hair in the hair, and the gray hair is young, how much has it been through?

Gu Jingyan didn't know, and didn't want to know, she looked away and sat quietly beside Duan Ce.

"reward."

After the song was over, Duan Lin, who had been silent for a long time, waved his hand and said towards the bottom.It's just that the place is too big, once the words are spoken, only the imperial concubine, chief eunuch Gu Jingyan and Duan Ce can hear the words. Young master's eyes are full of gloating.

"reward."

Later, the chief eunuch on the side repeated Duan Lin's will, and the sharp voice could be heard in the huge garden.The concubine on the stage got up and bowed to salute, and everyone in the audience couldn't help sighing, the emperor is hard to guess!

Today's banquet was not as scary as Gu Jingyan thought, there were always programs on stage and conversations off stage, of course tit-for-tat on the stage was inevitable, but it was good that Gu Jingyan wasn't involved.

It's just that people who come here occasionally to flatter are indispensable. Some of the wives of some high-ranking officials came over to chat with Gu Jingyan when Duan Ce was leaving the meeting, and many invited Gu Jingyan to participate in their flower fair class some activities.

In the beginning, Gu Jingyan just twitched the corner of his mouth, but at the end, he held back his anger and refused the invitations of those women one by one. Do you think he is a woman?

Those officials naturally know how to read people's faces, Jian Gujing said that his face was impatient, so they each retreated, returned to their positions and whispered to the officials who stretched their necks waiting for the news.

After this night, many people knew that Duan Ce not only didn't hate his male princess, but also loved him so much that many officials and wives came to visit him, making the normally quiet Prince Ce's mansion open every day. There are people coming in and out, so it's very lively.

But this made Gu Jingyan so angry that he didn't see Duan Ce for a few days, and shut Duan Ce out, making it too difficult for Duan Ce to climb in every day when Gu Jingyan fell asleep.

Duan Ce, who was unhappy, took his anger out on those officials again, causing people to panic. Only then did the disturbances from those officials get rid of, and Duan Ce could live a good life without being outside the door.

Of course, these are all things to come.
