Fake concubine, real queen

Chen Quansheng was so startled that he didn't make a sound for a long time, only the mouth on that white and fat round face was also rounded in a daze, which looked a little funny——

He probably didn't expect that his cousin Ke Wang, who was shocked and flattered by his grandfather Chen's family who had always supported the prince, would not buy him at all, and could see through his scheming father's stomach at a glance. Twisted and twisted around.

Chen Quansheng swallowed his saliva, took a long time to inhale the hala that almost flowed to the corner of his mouth, and stammered: "Cousin... Cousin misunderstood, there is no such thing..."

Pei Zhaoheng let go of his chin, patted the hem of his clothes and stood up, looking at him with indifferent downcast eyes, without any emotion in his voice, said: "Really?"

Chen Quansheng: "..."

For some reason, his cousin Ke Wang's gaze was clearly not angry, and he didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations, but for the first time, Chen Quansheng felt uncomfortable all over his body when he was forced to face that gaze.

…It should have been a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes, but there is no trace of coldness for no reason. Except for Chen Quansheng himself who was exposed to these eyes, it is difficult for others to understand his feelings at this moment——

Chen Quansheng wanted to open his eyes and tell nonsense, but in the end he couldn't finish it. When the words came to his mouth, he changed his words and said with a dry smile: "Cousin... er... cousin is really good at predicting things, but I just said every word It's true, what father and elder brother are thinking about is their business, I came to surrender to my cousin, but it's all my own idea, it has nothing to do with them, even if they have any plans, I don't care..."

It's a pity that the more he spoke, the lower his voice became. Perhaps Chen Quansheng himself knew that these words were really not convincing.

But what can be done?

No matter how hard he tried, he never expected that this cousin, who usually looks silent and dull, would have such a sharp and aggressive side.

Pei Zhaoheng said: "What do you have for me?"

Chen Quansheng was still immersed in the frustration of dying before leaving school, and he didn't know how to deal with his father when he returned home, but he was stunned when he heard the words, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses——

His cousin Ke Wang... is... is he going to vote with him?

Chen Quansheng's greasy chubby face trembled, a few hints of hopeful joy appeared in his eyes, he quickly took out a letter from his cuff, and said: "Cousin, please read it carefully, and you will know the answer. "

It's just that this time Chen Quansheng didn't expect that it was his cousin who asked him for the nomination certificate, but this time he didn't reach out to pick it up.

Pei Zhaoheng glanced at the envelope lightly, but said nothing, and didn't know what it meant.

The more he was like this, the more Chen Quansheng's heart fluttered, and he was about to speak, but He Gu suddenly took the letter from the side, shaking and shaking, he saw clearly the wax seal on the back of the letter , his eyes moved, and he whispered: "This is... from the palace..."

Chen Quansheng was a little surprised, and couldn't help but raised his eyes to look at He Gu, his heart was full of surprises, this wax seal was clearly the lacquer seal in the palace that communicated with the prince, and now the people around the prince executed the execution, the raider ransacked the house Well, the number of people in this world who still recognize this seal can't be counted on one hand, how could he know?

Pei Zhaoheng said: "Prince Xinben will stay here, and I will give you an answer after reading it in another day. You can go back."

Chen Quan choked up, looked up at him, and said in a low voice, "This... this... that watch... uh... when will the lord be able to read it and give me this answer?"

Pei Zhaoheng didn't answer, but just glanced over Chen Quansheng's head with cold eyes. Chen Quansheng immediately felt his whole body tighten, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions. For the prince, then I will go back first, and wait for the prince to reply in another day."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and bowed, seeing Pei Zhaoheng nodding, he turned around and ran away quickly.

The back of Young Master Chen leaving is round and quick, looking from a distance, it looks like a duck egg with narrow ends and wide middle has become a sperm, wearing clothes and growing legs——

He Gu looked down at the letter in his hand, handed it to Pei Zhaoheng and said, "He's gone, will your Highness have a look at this letter?"

Pei Zhaoheng looked up at him: "Why doesn't Zihuan look at it?"

He Gu: "..."

Good guy, even though he has this kind of relationship with the Third Highness now, and he has a daughter, but after all, he is the future emperor, and he is the future minister. If I took apart such an important lacquer seal and took it apart without even asking, wouldn't I be ignorant, ignorant of the heights of the world, and simply ambitious?

It is true that He Gu knew that Pei Zhaoheng would not think so, but...

Feeling helpless, he patted the letter into Pei Zhaoheng's hands, and said in a low voice: "There is a difference between monarchs and ministers. This letter is for Your Highness. How can I take it? If this kind of thing falls into His Majesty's eyes in the future, I don't know what to do." miss me……"

Just as he was speaking, a somewhat familiar voice came from the end of the corridor in the distance.

"My lord!"

Hearing the sound, Pei and He both turned their heads to look, only to see that the person who came was actually Cheng Wei.

Pei Zhaoheng said: "How did you find this place?"

In the past, Cheng Wei was the most clever and knew how to read words, but today he didn't know what happened, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and regardless of the displeasure in his master's words, he said quickly: "My lord, don't The hospital...something happened! Go and have a look!"

Pei Zhaoheng's face darkened, and he said, "When did it happen?"

Cheng Wei said: "It was only half an hour ago, you will know when you go."

He Gu listened at the side in a daze, and was about to ask what happened, but Pei Zhaoheng had already turned his head and said, "I'll go back as soon as I go, Zihuan go back and stay with relatives, friends and elders."

Then he turned his head and quickly left with Cheng Wei.

He Gu knew in his heart that he must have something important to do, so he didn't ask questions to stop him.

It's just that His Royal Highness left, but the letter was still in his hand and he didn't take it away. Seeing the figures of Pei Zhaoheng and Chengwei's master and servant gradually disappearing, He Gu had no choice but to put the letter back into his pocket first. , secretly thought that since this is the case, he will keep it for now, and wait for His Highness to come back before moving this letter.

He Gu turned his head and was about to go back to the banquet, but he had just walked two steps, but at the side of the lotus pond in the Princess Mansion, he met someone who was a little unexpected, and one would never guess that he would meet him here. people--

It was Wang Muchuan who was slightly drunk and flushed.

Wang Muchuan stood under a dry old willow tree by the pool, looking at him motionless. He was dressed in brown clothes and almost blended into the straight tree poles beside him. He stared straight at He Gu, also I don't know how long I've been standing there.

... If it weren't for He Gu's sharp eyes, it would be impossible to detect a person standing there at a glance.

He Gu saw his expression clearly, and immediately guessed that Second Brother Wang was drunk, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart——

He and Wang's second brother have known each other since childhood. Although Wang Muchuan has a casual and vicious side towards his friends and brothers, he has always been strict with self-discipline.

A family like the Wang family is not just the "Qing" of the ordinary scholarly family.

It is true that Mr. Wang is benevolent, loyal, and has profound virtue, but because of this reputation, he will inevitably cherish his feathers and hold on to his identity. Wang Muchuan is his own son, and naturally he is also influenced by his father. He usually cares about the dignity of scholars——

He Gu had never seen him drink like this.

... Today is Brother Cheng's celebration banquet, but as far as He Gu knows, Second Brother Wang and Brother Cheng only have a casual relationship... Although he has a good relationship with the eldest brother and second brother of the Wang family, he wore a pair of open crotch pants when he was a child. The friendship grew up after reading a book, but even if the second brother Wang loves the house and Wu, he wouldn't be so happy for Brother Cheng that he would even disregard his decency, which has always been the most self-contained, right?

And second brother Wang, what is the cat doing here?

He Gu was a little puzzled, but after taking a few steps closer and seeing Wang Muchuan's face clearly, he became more and more sure that he guessed right, he must have drunk too much.

He Gu walked up to Wang Muchuan and said, "Second brother, what are you doing here? Why did you come out by yourself and still drink like this, where is the second sister-in-law?"

But Wang Muchuan looked at him, was silent for a while, and said: "She is weak, I didn't let her come out with me."

He Gu understood, raised his eyebrows and teased: "I usually see you puzzled, but now that I'm a husband, it's different, so considerate."

And said: "Let's go back..."

Before the word "go" was spoken, it was interrupted by Wang Muchuan.

Wang Muchuan said: "...I owe her something, and I don't deserve her to treat me well."

He Gu was taken aback for a moment, and said, "...huh?"

He Gu was a little confused.

He was about to ask Second Brother Wang what kind of hysterical words he was talking about, but Wang Muchuan said: "Little princess... is it you... your child with the prince?"

He Gu heard that, now he couldn't care less about what kind of hysteria Second Brother Wang was suffering from, his heart skipped a beat, he smiled a little forcedly, and said, "Uh... this... what did Second Brother say, What about me and the prince's child? How can two men give birth to a child, this..."

Wang Muchuan shook his head and said firmly, "Don't lie to me."

He Gu was taken aback.

Wang Muchuan looked at him, was silent for a while, and said: "Zihuan, before...you never lied to me, but since you went to Chenghe with your father and came back...you and me... It's not like it used to be…”

"I've always wanted to ask you, you're estranged from behind... but you're blaming me? At the beginning... when you asked me how to deal with your stepmother and said you were going to sue her to the Bianjing government office... I advise you to take it easy. be patient..."

He Gu was stunned when he heard that.

The things Wang Muchuan said... He did have an impression, but it was too long ago. After he was reborn in this life, he was already on his way back to Beijing with He Nanfeng from Chenghe, so what Wang Muchuan said was true. It was already many years ago in his previous life, and he had only vaguely remembered it. If he hadn't heard him mention it today, even this image would have disappeared little by little with the passage of time.

He Gu said: "I don't remember..."

But Wang Muchuan's voice was dry suddenly, and he said quickly, "Don't lie to me!"

He Gu was taken aback by him, and he stood there dumbfounded, immediately forgetting what he wanted to say.

Wang Muchuan said: "You were still so young at that time, even if you were excellent in martial arts, even if you had your father's protection, but... the swords and soldiers have no eyes, and how bitter and cold is Chenghe? But it never stopped. Fighting against them is far from the way you always have room to maneuver when you compete with your elders, father and brother. You and I grew up together, how can I not worry? You don’t listen to persuasion... insist on taking risks, and keep saying You didn't say hello to me...and left...Don't you just annoy me, think I'm speaking for your stepmother, and persuade you to swallow your anger?"

Wang Muchuan became more and more anxious as he spoke, and at the end of his speech, he couldn't help but move two steps forward, approaching He Gu a little bit.

He Gu had an inexplicable sense of ominous premonition, the Second Brother Wang in front of him was really weird, he swallowed and said, "No...Second Brother, you're drunk, calm down first...I'll call... ..."

But Wang Muchuan didn't tell him to finish, and he didn't let He Gu turn around to call for someone. He grabbed his wrist and said in a low voice, "But I didn't just tell you to swallow your anger. She is your stepmother...your father And dote on her, if you sue her to the yamen regardless of everything, it is not known whether Bianjing government will try this case, your father will be the first to protect her, then not only will she be unscathed, but the matter will be spread out, yes Your reputation will only be detrimental but not beneficial...I have other methods...Zihuan...I have other methods...I..."

He Gu finally understood what he was talking about this time, he really couldn't laugh or cry, he turned around and patted Second Brother Wang on the shoulder, and said helplessly: "What is my second brother thinking about, it turns out it's all these old sesame seeds and rotten millet. I have forgotten these things long ago, how can I still remember? And how can I hate my second brother because of this sesame mung bean big shit? Second brother doesn't need to explain, just let it go, I..."

Wang Muchuan lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then said: "Zihuan said at the time...that the way is different...not to conspire with each other."

He Gu was taken aback for a moment, then he came back to his senses for a while, and couldn't help thinking to himself, he thought to himself, did he say such naive and naive bastard words when he was young?

Cough... Time has passed for so long, I almost thought that I had always been a mature, well-proportioned, good man...

He Gu said: "That's all angry words..."

But Wang Muchuan suddenly said: "It's different from my... way, but the same way as King Ke's way?"

He Gu was taken aback for a moment, this time there was a movement somewhere in his heart, and he finally realized where the strange feeling that he had been vaguely aware of since just now came from——

He looked at Wang Muchuan in shock, and said, "Second brother...you...you are..."

Wang Muchuan said: "I...I want Zihuan to restrain...be patient, but he can disregard his status and future...to stand up for you...to ask for you and the emperor, to personally supervise your family case...so Zihuan...and He has the same way, but with me... the way is different..."

"...is that right?"

He Gu was dumbfounded on the spot, dumbfounded.

Second brother Wang has seen through his relationship with the prince? !

No...no...that's not the point at all, he's...he's...

Wang Muchuan suddenly smiled, bowed his head and said in a low voice, "That's right... I'm indeed not like him, Zihuan and I... you and I..."

He Gu's expression darkened, and he said: "Second brother, you are already married, Miss Cui is a good girl, we only have brotherhood and classmate friendship, the matter between me and the prince has nothing to do with the second brother, you are drunk today After drinking, I just pretend I haven’t heard anything, so don’t be confused again!”

Wang Muchuan was silent for a while, then suddenly hiccupped, and only smiled lowly after hearing He Gu's words.

After a long while, he said: "Zihuan...you admire him because he is the eldest princess. He lied to you, but I...I never lied to you... even a single word... Never..."

He Gu was still in shock.

Regarding this kind of matter, although he was sensitive when he had a hot face and a cold ass to the "Eldest Princess" and chased her every day like a pug to please and behave, he was dull and embarrassing at other times. The "experience" of the third highness is no longer the bachelor who didn't know the fart in the previous life.

After all this, it is naturally impossible for him not to see Wang Muchuan's thoughts.

...But before today, even when he killed He Gu, he never thought that there would be such a conversation between him and Second Brother Wang.

Wang Muchuan didn't know what else to say, but just as the word "I" came out of his mouth, someone grabbed his shoulder——

The hand holding his shoulder was clear-skinned, fair-skinned, with slender fingers and well-defined joints, but it was clearly such a pair of beautiful hands that even the best jade carving master in Bianjing could not carve, perfect and almost uncanny. But no one could have imagined that such a large force could erupt.

——Wang Muchuan, who was almost scratched, had a muddy head twitching with the pain, and regained a little consciousness in the cold wind by the pool.

Pei Zhaoheng let go of his hand and looked at him expressionlessly, his voice was cold and indifferent.

"Scholars drink alcohol and make mistakes."

Second brother Wang's wine was so startled that most of him woke up.

He Gu: "..."

The scene was very embarrassing.

------------------

Master He Xiaohou felt very aggrieved.

He asked himself since the Third Highness asked Cheng Wei to go away, then he turned around and walked to the pool to meet the second brother Wang, the drunkard. It only took a while to get together, but it was all unexpected and unexpected incidents, and there was no time for him to let him go. He reacted.

He himself hadn't digested the huge amount of information today, and when he turned his head, the Third Highness caught him and Wang Muchuan by the pool——

He and Second Brother Wang... obviously didn't have anything, but they just said a few words, but when the Third Highness came down, he grabbed Second Brother Wang and looked at him, and most importantly, he looked at him from behind, but... …

Ugh.

In short, since he returned to the banquet, until the sun slanted to the west to finish He Cheng's celebration banquet, the Third Highness never looked at him again.

This made all the guests return home happily, and the host, He Gu, should be happy to celebrate the celebration banquet, but he could only end with a complicated mood, sending away the old couple of the ancestor Yan's family with a forced face and a smile. Reluctant to see her off—just reluctant to part with her little niece, playing with Shuangshuang non-stop, trying to ask her to call him aunt, and the Wang family—

Second Brother Wang is clearly awake, but he doesn't know how much of it was blown by the evening wind by the pool, and how much of it was scared by the Third Highness...

But he no longer dared to meet He Gu's eyes.

...Actually, He Gu was also very embarrassed that what happened today, so he didn't have to meet Second Brother Wang's eyes, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

... At least the Third Highness saw it from the side, so there's nothing else to be unhappy about, right?

It's just that before the Wang family left, He Gu couldn't help looking at the young lady from the Cui family who had just married Wang Muchuan.Today's event, although it was definitely not what He Gu expected, and it was definitely not what he wanted, but he still couldn't help feeling a little guilty towards Cui Shi——

He hoped that he had misunderstood the meaning of Second Brother Wang just now, but the words have reached that point, and it is difficult to deceive himself...

Of course He Gu knew that the marriage between Second Brother Wang and Mrs. Cui was not up to the two of them. Obviously, Second Brother Wang himself knew it well. It was impossible for him to abandon his parents for a young classmate who had already become a son-in-law. The words of the matchmaker, it is even more impossible to pierce the emperor like He Gu, or in front of someone else, threatening not to marry in this life——

Second Brother Wang still has the ambitions and ambitions of Second Brother Wang. Although He Gu dare not say that he is the person who understands him best in the world, he is also sure that Second Brother Wang is definitely not the kind of person who would do that.

In fact, back then, I was right——

Different road non-phase plan.

It's just Cui Shi, she doesn't know anything after all, she is innocent...

One by one, he said goodbye to Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang, Mr. and Mrs. Wang and Ning’er’s family, and also said goodbye to Wang Muchuan and Mrs. Cui who were silent. He Gu stood in front of the door but finally couldn’t hold back and called out. Cui Shi.

"Second sister-in-law... stay behind!"

Cui was startled slightly, then turned her head, and Wang Muchuan's shoulders also froze.

But he never looked back.

He Gu had heard about it before, and today at the banquet, I also heard Mrs. Wang and the eldest sister-in-law of the Wang family mention that the Cui family came from the Cui family of Jiang Qing, and was the eldest daughter of the firstborn. Although the Cui family is not as important in the court as Wang Tinghe of the Wang family However, the Cui family has taken root in Jiangqing for countless generations. Since the beginning of the first scientific examination in the reign of Taizu, the Cui family has been sending out Jinshi for generations, and it has never stopped. When we talk about marriage, we never forget the choice of a good husband and family——

Today, it has become a good story, and the Cui family is undoubtedly considered to have a profound heritage and a generation of hairpin tassels.

Mrs. Wang found such a marriage for his second son, it can be said that he did not have good intentions and painstaking efforts.

Cui's stature is not slender, nor too plump, just right, with almost no features. She has a round face, with two willow-leaf eyebrows, making her white and shiny face like a goose egg clean and beautiful, with round almond eyes. Bright and clear, when looking at people, there is a three-point smile in Weiyu, but just a glance is like a spring breeze.

Contrary to Second Brother Wang who looked like he was rolling his eyes, Cui seemed to be looking at someone with a gentle smile, and whispered softly, "Brother He Family? But what's the matter?"

Just now, Brother Wang and Sister Wang called He Gu's closeness, Cui Shi Minhui, after hearing this, he knew that this person had a close relationship with his family——

She is not unfamiliar with calling He Gu with such false titles as son-in-law or Marquis; nor does she call He Gu directly like Mr. Wang and Wang Muchuan, which seems too intimate and out of proportion.

He Gu was silent for a while, and fumbled in his cuff for a long time, and he didn't know how long he finally took out a golden walking stick inlaid with huge oriental beads, handed it over, and said, "Second sister-in-law and On the day my second elder brother got married, he didn't have the chance to meet his sister-in-law, nor did he have a ceremony, so it's my little brother's wish that I should make up a meeting ceremony today."

Cui looked at the priceless walker he handed over, her expression didn't fluctuate much, she just paused on it for a moment, then raised her eyes to He Gu and said with a smile: "I didn't either. What kindness and merit is bestowed on you, how can you receive such a generous gift?"

He Gudao: "I grew up with my second brother, he took care of me a lot before, my sister-in-law and my second brother are husband and wife, so naturally they are kind to me, they are my elders, why can't I bear it?"

When Cui heard this, she turned her eyes to look at Wang Muchuan, and said with a smile: "Oh? If so, the concubine has been touched by her husband."

He Gu said: "I gave it to sister-in-law, it has nothing to do with second brother, sister-in-law doesn't need to ask him, just take it."

Cui covered her lips, smiled until her eyes turned into crescents, turned to look at Wang Muchuan, and said with a playful smile: "That's natural, it was given to me by the brothers of the He family in front of many people, we are aboveboard, I can There is nothing wrong with it, and it is natural to take it, which is called righteousness."

"Husband said, yes or no?"

Wang Muchuan was silent for a while, and said: "Since it is the son-in-law's wish, Xian'er can take it."

He Gu was a little speechless when he called him son-in-law, but when he turned his head, he saw that Wang Muchuan had already looked away.

Unexpectedly, he just looked up to see Second Brother Wang, but Pei Zhaoheng who was beside him suddenly grabbed his arm casually.

Now it's not just He Gu who is stunned, never thought that Pei Zhaoheng would be so undisguised in front of others, and Cui Shi, who thought he had already understood the situation, was also stunned——

...It seems that it is not as simple as she thought?

There was a moment of silence in the air this time, and it was truly embarrassing.

While He Gu was racking his brains for what to say to resolve the embarrassment, Pei Zhaoheng looked at Mrs. Cui calmly and said, "Madam has a dignified appearance, so I don't think he would prefer such ostentatious jewelry from Zihuan. He is not good at dressing up women. I will make another gift for him and send it to your residence."

This time, Second Brother Wang naturally respected Cui and did not dare.

He Gu: "..."

When the Wang family was finally sent away, He Gucai stood at the door and whispered: "No... Even if the gift I gave was inappropriate, what will His Highness give me as a supplement? Aren't you making people think for nothing? We are ...It's Uncle Lang..."

Halfway through the talk, I felt guilty.

Pei Zhaoheng looked down at him, and said calmly: "Why, Zihuan is afraid of who thinks too much?"

He Gu choked up, remembering the incident of being bumped into by him by the pool just now, his mouth suddenly became dry, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak again.

Seeing that he couldn't get off the stage this time, Pei Zhaoheng didn't build a ladder for He Gu to help him down as usual, instead he just gave him a look without any ups and downs, then turned and entered the gate of the mansion.

...It seems that I went to see the wet nurse to see Shuangshuang.

He Gu felt a little uncomfortable, secretly thought that Second Brother Wang would have made a wrong idea, and he hadn't made any mistakes. How could His Highness compare with him?

It's a pity that although what I thought in my heart was righteous, I never dared to ask it out of my mouth...

He Gu didn't know what he was trying to do.

... Well, anyway, His Highness has such a good temper, so he will calm down by himself, right?

He Gu thought so.

However, until nightfall, when he left Changyanghou's mansion, Pei Zhaoheng didn't take a carriage with him, and Cheng Wei came to spread the word that His Highness the Third Highness would not go to the Princess' mansion today, but would go back to Prince Ke's mansion to rest by himself. The son-in-law does not have to wait——

... He Gu finally panicked.

Both panicked and a little bored.

But he still didn't believe in evil, he didn't believe that Pei Zhaoheng could really be so angry with him for this kind of unreasonable jealousy, and could really slap his ass and go home and ignore himself because of this kind of shit?

...Can you really leave him and Shuangshuang father and daughter?

He Gu didn't believe in this evil anymore.

...Master He Xiaohou used his not-so-large head to meditate hard, thinking that the surname Pei must have wanted him to catch up with him, to beg him, to admit his mistakes, and to be subdued, that's why he was so cold-faced.

Of course He Gu wasn't unwilling to give in to Pei Zhaoheng, but this time he couldn't figure it out, he felt aggrieved—it's clear that he didn't do anything wrong?

Facts have proved that people have to believe in evil while living in this world.

The Third Highness, who had always been obedient to Lord He Xiaohou, just swaggered away in the palace's own carriage on West Street, never to return.

He Gu: "..."

…His face was placed on the city gate tower again, and he couldn't get off the stage.

This time, He Gu couldn't hold back his face and chased him. After all, when Zhengye came to ask, he gave Zhengye a hard time, annoyed like a puffer fish, and asked him why he wanted to chase him?

There was no way to go back now, so she had to bite the bullet and go back to the Princess Mansion holding her breath.

Back in the main courtyard, looking at the black monkey girl in the cradle, blowing the cool night breeze, Master He Xiaohou felt aggrieved and sad again for no reason.

He shook the soft and warm hand of Baoyin who was asleep in the cradle, thinking about what happened during the day, he became even more angry——

I only thought: My daughter, your father and I have worked so hard on the horseback, and we have been in and out in the shadow of swords and swords, good guy, it was so easy to give birth to you, you are good , the first time dad didn't call me...

...It is true that that is also your father, but the fathers are also in order. You have been in my stomach for so long, shouldn't you call me first?

Thinking of this, Master He Xiaohou became more and more aggrieved. He secretly thought that he was getting angry. He hadn't blocked the surname Pei to secretly teach Baoyin to teach his father first...

As soon as he was so distracted, the hand holding Baoyin's little hand lost its weight, and it was only when Baoyin cried out in the swaddling baby that He Gu came back to his senses, and looked down——

...Fortunately, he only pinched it with two fingers, and Baoyin's skinny and tender wrist was already red.

When Mother Qu heard the sound from outside, she hurriedly knocked on the door and came in, "What's the matter? You were fine just now, why are you crying like this all of a sudden?"

Standing by the side of the cradle, He Gu touched his nose embarrassingly, and said, "I...I wanted to touch Shuangshuang, but I accidentally made it a little harder."

Mother Qu watched him grow up, can she not know the difference between He Xiaohou's "vigorous" and other people's "vigorous"?

Immediately took a breath, and walked to the cradle in two steps.

So He Gu was swept out of the bedroom where Baoyin was resting by Nanny Qu.

He stood at the door and blew the night wind for a while, feeling sad. He thought he had recovered his good luck. What happened today?

It must be because of the little fat man from the Chen family.

...Sure enough, Pei Zhaoyuan is a bad spirit, and if he has even a little relationship with the East Palace, he will be out of luck.

He Gu sighed in the night wind, and was about to go back to his room to rest, when he suddenly saw that the light in his room was on.

Lan Xiao went to the shop today, but no one was there, apart from Nanny Qu, there was only one Zhengye in the main courtyard, but Zhengye usually didn't stay here overnight, so no one was there at the moment.

All the servants who served in the yard in the past were gone. He Gu was a little dazed, looked around, and finally had no choice but to walk up the steps——

Who is so brave in this princess house?

How dare you enter his bedroom without permission?

...In the past, the main courtyard was the residence of "Sister Yu'er", while He Gu lived in the side courtyard. Before he knew Pei Zhaoheng's true identity, he had been unwilling to break the traces of the "Eldest Princess" living here, and the main courtyard had always been No one lives there, only maids and servants are ordered to clean, but they dare not disturb the decoration.

It wasn't until later that Pei Zhaoheng confessed to him that He Gu had returned to the capital from Fuling in the north, so he moved the residence from the side courtyard.

Therefore, even though the son-in-law He Gu has a good temper, and there are not many servants in the Princess Mansion, they all know that the main courtyard cannot be entered at will, otherwise they will rush to touch the son-in-law's eyebrows.

——The one inside is good, not only touched it, but also lit the lamp, and jumped in front of the window lattice, for fear that others would not know.

He Gu was already a bit angry today, and couldn't bear it anymore when he saw this, so he walked up the steps with a downcast face, kicked the door open with one kick——

Fortunately, this time he remembered that the door belonged to his own family, so he left a bit of room, and the door finally managed to survive under the overwhelmed panting sound of "squeak".

He Gu stepped into the threshold and was about to open his mouth to get angry, but suddenly, under the warm yellow light in the room, in front of the dressing table, he saw a red figure that was familiar but almost seemed to be from another world.

The tall, straight and well-shaped shoulders stretched beautifully, as well as the man's butterfly bones that were faintly visible through the clothes, and the satin-like black hair hanging down.

...Sister Yu'er?

Is... is it her?

No...no...it's...it's him.

... Is it she or him?

He Xiaohou was stunned for a moment, his mind became a mess in an instant, and he froze in place, dumbfounded.

I don't know if it was the wind blowing outside or someone pulled it, and the door creaked shut again.

……

It didn't know how long it took before He Gu came back to his senses.

Of course he knew that in this world, except for that one person, there was no one else who could have such a back view... could have such a color that could almost capture people's hearts with just one back view.

Of course he knew who the man in front of him was.

...but he was still inexplicably confused.

It's really strange, he clearly knew in his heart that the person in front of him must be the Third Highness, Pei Zhaoheng, but why did he...

He Gu was silent for a long time, his voice a little dry, and finally said: "Your Highness, you are..."

It's just that before He Gu finished speaking, the back of "Sister Yu'er" stood up, and the person in front of the light turned his head slightly, revealing half a pair of lines that were sharper and sharper than when they got married, but Against the backdrop of Zhu's lips, the profile of her face is even more glamorous.

"She" just looked at He Gu from a distance, with indifferent eyes and no emotion, just like He Gu's indifference when he was wishful thinking and stalking.

He Gu stared at him so much that he forgot to breathe.

He Gu's mind kept going back and forth between "Wake up, this is His Highness the Third Highness, he is here to cure you, you won't just be tricked like this" and "Death under the peony flower, even being a ghost is romantic", The expression on his face changed dramatically, and his skin twitched accordingly.

The head gradually turned into a ball of paste.

"Sister Yu'er" under the lamp turned around and approached He Gu with a calm expression——

He Gu swallowed his saliva, and took a step back for no reason, but there is a second step after the first step, and a third step after the second step...

Back and forth, gradually there is no way to retreat.

In the end, He Gu could only be trapped between "Sister Yu'er" who looked down at him indifferently in front of him and the door, with nowhere to retreat.

"...Zihuan."

He Gu: "..."

Even the voice line is the long-lost "Sister Yu'er", a neutral and slightly soft voice, completely unrecognizable as a man's voice.

He Gu looked at the person in front of him, if it wasn't for his strong willpower, he would almost have hallucinations——

... Could it be that the previous one was a dream?

What kind of "Third Highness" is a man disguised as a woman. In fact, the eldest princess is the eldest princess, and the third highness is the third highness?

Fortunately, he finally closed his eyes and took a deep breath——

...Wake up, He Zihuan!

He wanted to grit his teeth and ask Pei Zhaoheng, what the hell do you want to do?

Didn't he just gossip with Second Brother Wang today, why is the Third Highness teasing him like this?

... However, when the words came to his lips, looking at this face, he really couldn't grit his teeth, and his tone softened by three points.

"What is your Highness doing...you...you just say it if you have something to say, why bother..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw His Highness the Third Highness, or the Third Highness who had become the "Eldest Princess" lowered his head. The skin behind He Gu's ear suddenly touched something warm, and he raised his head unexpectedly, His pupils dilated, and his mouth opened so that he almost cried out in shock.

Pei Zhaoheng raised his head, but looked at He Gu like this and smiled.

With such a face that has touched a woman's vermilion lips, he doesn't look weak or charming at all, only the kind of coldness that made He Gu fall in love with him at first sight when he first met three years ago.
