Fake concubine, real queen
Chapter 47
Regardless of whether he is supercilious or not, in short, Master He Xiaohou really called his brother-in-law's meaningful "communication one or two", his cheeks trembled in fright, and when he recovered, he involuntarily moved his hips, and couldn't help wanting to leave. This brother-in-law, who was getting more and more wrong, stayed away, and only smiled dryly on his face, and said: "Your Highness...Your Highness is joking, I don't want to read this Longyang dialect book, I'm afraid I won't be able to communicate with His Highness."
The third prince said: "...Have you not read Zihuan? It can be seen that Zihuan just looked like he has seen this book..."
He Gu guessed in his heart that this brother-in-law was a broken sleeve, so he was afraid that he would misunderstand himself, and before he finished speaking, he said: "I... Although I have indeed read this script, it is only because, cough... Your Highness knows about this, so please keep quiet."
Seeing that his reaction was interesting, Pei Zhaoheng became more and more interested, but his face remained calm, and he only said: "Zihuan, but it's okay to say, I will keep my mouth shut."
He Gu paused for a moment, and said: "...This book was printed and sold by my bookstore, so I just read it. The gentleman who wrote the book is also a...uh, good friend of mine."
He thought for a while, and felt that Yan Zhiya was a woman after all, and it was unreasonable to tell others about her writing in the Longyang dialect book. Yan Zhiya's identity as a woman.
The third prince was silent for a while when he heard the words, and after a while, he looked at him, suppressed the smile on his face, and said: "If that's the case... then I misunderstood Zihuan...?"
He Gu heard the words, nodded like a slapstick, and said: "Your Highness really misunderstood me, I really have no interest in this Longyang dialect book, and... it's not a broken sleeve, Your Highness, please don't worry about it. Your Highness has a heart, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other. I will definitely only like her in this life, and I will never change my heart in death."
He Gu's sudden confession was not only because he really thought so in his heart, but also because...
In case the Third Highness really ascends to the throne in the future, the new king will remember that he is not only a flamboyant son-in-law, but also dares to be masculine and put a cuckold on his own sister... that's not bad ? !
Although His Highness the Third Highness is much more benevolent and kind than the Crown Prince, the clay figurine is still somewhat rustic. How could he not be angry if his sister was being bullied?
The emperor was furious...
Really can't afford it.
But he never expected that after he finished his confession from the bottom of his heart, the expression on His Highness's face did not soften.
Not only did it not ease up, I don't know if it was He Gu's illusion...
His face seemed to have darkened even more.
Pei Zhaoheng was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "... Is that really the case?"
He Gu lowered his head and said, "Don't dare to lie to Your Highness."
Pei Zhaoheng paused for a moment, and said, "Guan Zihuan's expression just now, it seems that... he really hates Long Yang's habit?"
He Gu was stunned, and said: "Well... that's not true, I'm the only one who doesn't like it. Other people like cats or dogs, men or women, what does that have to do with me, and it's not my turn to point them out. .”
The third prince didn't reply.
He Gu saw that his complexion was getting darker, and finally he didn't even smile at all. He only lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He Gu looked at his appearance, but was slightly taken aback——
The Third Highness turned cold, this expression, and...
And Sister Yuer, it seems...
He really deserves to be his own siblings, just now he was caught off guard, and at first glance, he was almost mistaken.
He was distracted, but suddenly he heard the third prince say: "Even if Zihuan thinks it's nothing, the habit of breaking sleeves is still a minority among people, and it is unacceptable in the world to rebel against yin and yang."
After hearing his words, He Gu couldn't help but move in his heart. He raised his eyes to see the expression of the third prince, but he didn't see anything. After a long while, he hesitated and said: "...Your Highness, you are..."
However, the third prince slowly raised his eyes, those water-cut peach blossom eyes, as long as the smile is removed, they can't help but take on a three-point indifference and coldness far away from the world, and...
And a little imperceptible loneliness.
He said: "...Zihuan, do you think I'm strange?"
Although Pei Zhaoheng asked this question abruptly, he didn't say clearly why He Gu would find him strange, but at this moment, the two people sitting in the carriage were not stupid. What does it mean.
Master He Xiaohou swallowed involuntarily, and thought to himself, if the third highness just had his sleeves broken, he would naturally not make a fuss or make a fuss. These princes and grandchildren in Beijing are not as noble as His highness, and they still raise young men , Go to the Nanfeng Pavilion to listen to the music, so this is not a big deal, as long as...
As long as you don't think about me, you are my brother-in-law.
Master He Xiaohou said so in his heart.
But there was only a twitch of a dry smile on his face, and he forced out a sentence: "Uh... if you break your sleeves, you can break your sleeves, and it's not a big deal if you don't eat other people's rice."
The third prince was silent for a moment, and then said after a while: "...I have never thought of marrying a wife and having children, and the person I admire...is indeed a man."
"...Except for him, other men have never moved me, if that counts, then I probably have lost my sleeve."
After He Gu heard this, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.
Not because of anything else, just because of the tone of His Majesty the Third Highness, and the meaning of the "admired person" in his words, obviously it didn't happen in a day or two. ...
It certainly wouldn't be him.
... As expected, he has read too many books about Yan Zhiya's words in recent days, and made all the grass and trees like soldiers, so he made wild guesses.
He thought to himself, it's just a broken sleeve, it's nothing, anyway, Your Highness, after you become the emperor, you will be the king of the world, whoever you fancy, just tie it up, let alone you just like men, that's all. Your old man likes monkeys, and no one dares to talk too much because he thinks his life is too long.
Immediately comforted him and said: "Isn't it just a broken sleeve, as long as the two of you have the same mind and the same interests, it is more important than anything, and you will still be happy for a lifetime."
The third prince stared at him with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and said slowly: "But... there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the greatest. He has a good family background and good character, if he wants to have no heirs because of me... how can he be willing."
He Gu looked at his appearance, but felt a little dazed in his heart.
His Highness the Third...she is so much like her sister.
He couldn't help but think of the night before the eldest princess left, she told him with a lonely expression that she was barren.
At that time, my sister also lowered her eyes like this, her lips trembled again and again, and it took a long time to speak a word, her voice was dry.
She... If she also fell in love with him, and kept her heart disease of being sick and infertile in her heart, how uncomfortable it would be...
When He Gu thought about it, he only hated himself for being so careless at that time. He didn't notice anything unusual until his sister was so sad that she couldn't take it anymore...
She will leave the capital, leave him, and want to be alone.
Thinking of this, He Gu's eyes were a little sour. He looked at the Third Highness who was still downcast, and suddenly felt a feeling of sympathy. This time, he was sincerely comforting him, sincerely Said: "Your Highness, I've lost my mind. I think...the world of mortals and all living beings, how difficult it is to find a person who loves me? If she also happens to fall in love with me, it will be a perfect thing that is hard to find in the world." , although the son is good, how can he compare to this person who is hard to find even with a lantern? If His Highness admires someone, he will abandon His Highness because of his son, which only shows that he is not really in love with His Highness. That's really the case, that's because he doesn't deserve His Highness to do this for him, wouldn't it be enough to change to another one?"
The third prince seemed a little surprised when he heard the words. After a long while, he slowly raised his eyes, looked at He Gu, and said, "...I don't know that Zihuan is such a dedicated person."
When He Gu heard this, he immediately puffed up his chest, and said: "That's natural, I only have Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in my heart, and I only want to grow old with him, and I can't tolerate other people."
Pei Zhaoheng: "..."
He Gu was about to say more, but the third prince suddenly said: "But... what if that person already has a wife?"
He Xiaohou heard this, turned his head to look at the slightly frowning Third Highness with a serious face, and was instantly stunned.
... No, I thought His Highness the Third Highness would be very relaxed, but I didn't expect him to be so generous? ?
He swallowed, and said: "...Well, why don't you change it, after all, if you have a husband...uh, a married man is also a married person, rashly messing with other people's husband and wife, it seems...no Great way."
Pei Zhaoheng: "..."
Seeing that he was silent, He Gu had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder in the end, and said: "Where is there no grass in the end of the world, your highness is so good-looking and talented, why do you have to hang yourself on a tree with a crooked neck?"
After he finished speaking, it was already dark outside the carriage, Zhengye yelled outside, "Master, we're almost here!"
He Gu opened the curtains of the carriage and took a look. The mountains and rivers in the suburbs of Beijing are picturesque, and they look more and more hazy in the twilight. At the far end of the road ahead, there are indeed some bright lights. It's Zhuangzi.
The two chatted all the way, after a few hours, they didn't feel that the carriage was bumpy and the journey was long, but when He Gu was young, when he was growing up, his stomach was unavoidably empty, and he even began to grumble when he was hungry. Fortunately, there was only one His Highness the Third Highness on the carriage, and no one else could hear him, not afraid of embarrassment.
Seeing His Royal Highness turning his head to look at him, He Gu just grinned at him and said, "I've always been very hungry, and His Royal Highness laughed at me."
He smiled brightly and brightly, and he didn't think much of it, but he told Pei Zhaoheng to look at it, his ears felt slightly warm, and a few traces of imperceptible redness appeared, and he quickly looked away.
The two got out of the carriage, and the servants of Zhuangzi had already received the letter, and they were waiting in front of Zhuangzi's gate. The person in charge was an old man with a gray beard, who looked about sixty years old, but his back was not stooped, his eyes were shining, and he looked very serious. Looks energetic.
When the old man saw the two of them get off the carriage, he saw He Gu at a glance, walked up two steps, and said: "The old man has been in charge of this village for more than ten years, and now he can be regarded as seeing the young master."
This Zhuangzi was originally Miss Yan's dowry, and Wan Shu'er probably disliked it at the beginning. This Zhuangzi is a bit remote in the suburbs of Beijing, so he didn't have any idea about it, so it has always been in the hands of Nanny Qu.
The old man reckoned that he was also an old slave arranged by the Yan family when Miss Yan got married more than ten years ago.
He Gu greeted him with a smile, introduced him, and said that the young man in Xuanyi who followed him was the third prince.
Fortunately, the old man got the letter from Guanshi Liu in advance, otherwise he would have been frightened when he saw Prince Longsun for the first time.
However, he has prepared everything early, and the dinner has been prepared in the dining room for Pei and He. Although the dishes are not as exquisite as those in Beijing, they are fresh and rich. When He Gu saw it, he couldn't help but praise him for his hard work .
The old man was praised by the master, rubbed his hands happily and said: "I heard from the person sent by Liu Guanshi that the third prince is afraid of the cold, so he came to our village to soak in the spring, so he asked the kitchen to specially make this beef stew. If your Highness is afraid of the cold, the old man’s family knows a little bit about how to nourish the food, she said that if you are still afraid of the cold in summer, it is most likely due to kidney yang deficiency, eating more beef is good for nourishing the kidney!"
He Guqi said: "Oh? Is that so, so there is such a saying that the fear of cold is due to kidney deficiency? Then you really need to make up for your highness."
Pei Zhaoheng: "..."
After a while, he twitched his face and said: "...Thank you for your trouble, old man."
This old man probably stays in the village all the year round, he is very lonely, and he likes to be lively when he is old. Hearing that his old face is full of wrinkles and smiles, he doesn't dare to be, dare not be, so he closed the door, leaving the two of them to eat ,out.
He Gu saw that Zheng Ye and the third prince's bodyguard were still guarding behind him, and said: "You two also go to eat something by yourself, rest, you don't need to stay here."
The two left in response.
He Gu came to this Zhuangzi to soak a few times before, and he knew the way. He picked up a piece of beef for the third prince, and said to him: "To soak in this warm spring, you still have to eat something first, otherwise you will go down for a while." If you drink water, you will easily feel dizzy due to the heat, and don’t eat too much, only five percent full is enough.”
Pei Zhaoheng lowered his eyes, looked at the big piece of beef that Zihuan had put into his bowl, endured and endured, and finally suppressed the sentence "I don't have a kidney deficiency".
There were only a few maidservants guarding the village, and after dinner, only two maidservants came over and led them to the soup pool. He Gu saw that the two maidservants were going to follow them in and help them change their clothes. He himself was not used to this. Then he turned his head and wanted to ask the third prince, but before he could ask, he heard the third prince said flatly: "No need, I will do it myself."
Seeing this, He Gu raised his eyebrows, but he really didn't expect that, although His Highness the Third Highness is in poor health, he is also like him, and doesn't like serving maids.
In front of the soup pool is a small compartment for the owner to change clothes. The two of them entered the compartment. Before changing their clothes, they felt a damp and steaming heat seeping from the soup pool inside through a thin door. .
It's hot in summer, and He Gu wouldn't think of going to the hot springs in normal times, but now that the Third Prince has come down, he, the master, has to accompany him.
Fortunately, the nights in the suburbs of Beijing are very cool, not as muggy as in the middle of Beijing, so soaking in the hot springs will not cause people to suffer. He Gu didn't wear a few clothes at first, and he took them off so tightly that his upper body was already gone. He was naked, but he turned his head to look at the Third Highness, and saw that he was untying the tie of his coat.
Unbuttoning his middle clothes, Master He Xiaohou looked at the third highness's naked upper body, couldn't help swallowing, and was almost stunned.
Your Highness...
Didn't everyone say he was sick?
This... This is wearing clothes, I just think that His Highness has broad shoulders and long legs, and it is because of his tall head and broad frame that he shows it, but after taking off his clothes, he is not thin at all...
The Third Highness has broad shoulders and arms, strong and smooth muscles, and a slender and beautiful neck line. His complexion is also the same as that of his elder sister, the eldest princess, as cold and white as jade. He took off his clothes at this moment, and when he looked at it for a while, he could see the smooth and well-defined chest muscles. The muscles make people feel dizzy and dizzy.
He Xiaohou has always been conceited, thinking that among men, his figure is absolutely beautiful, but now he met the third highness who is also a man...
...But he couldn't go against his conscience and say that he was better than him.
With such a body, why...how could he be weak and chilly?
I really can't figure it out, can't figure it out, can't figure it out.
Could it be that there is something wrong with the internal organs?When I turn back, I must ask Miss Yan to show His Highness a good look.
He Guzheng was thinking about it, but Pei Zhaoheng had already pulled off the white jade hairpin, and all of a sudden, his black hair fell like a waterfall——
He was even more infatuated with Master He Xiaohou.
It also……
She looks so much like sister Yuer! !
And...and...
Looking at the third prince's face against his sister's face like this, and looking down, he can see his eight-pack abs... The visual impact is too...
But the more shocking thing is yet to come.
He Gu stared blankly, but on the side of the Third Highness, only a pair of obscene trousers were left. Even though He Xiaohou had already had an ominous premonition, he shouted in his heart to tell himself not to look, but his gaze still remained unchanged. Controlling it, he glanced at the waist of the Third Highness——
...and then people are stupid.
Although it is separated by a pair of obscene trousers... But they are all men after all, so you don't need to look closely at all, you can basically tell how many catties there are at a glance.
Master He Xiaohou was hit hard.
Omg.
Although... my brother-in-law is two years older than him, and he is also much taller, but he can't be so different!
This is too hurtful...
Third Highness... What the hell did he eat to grow up? ? ?
They are all men, how can there be such a difference?it's not fair...
His heart was already bubbling with sourness, but when he looked up again, he could see the face of His Highness Third Highness that was exactly the same as Sister Yu'er...
five.
Thunder.
boom.
top.
Master He Xiaohou was stunned.
Unexpectedly, seeing that he hadn't finished taking off, Pei Zhaoheng tilted his head in confusion and said, "Zihuan?"
He Gu looked at him with dull eyes, and let out an "ah".
His Royal Highness said: "...Why are you not moving?"
Master He Xiaohou tugged at the bottom of his trousers that hadn't been loosened: "..."
He thought a little sadly, forget it, I am only 16 years old, and I will grow up again... If I am ashamed, I will be ashamed.
Only then did he move slowly, and reluctantly took off his pants, leaving only a pair of dangling obscene pants.
He didn't dare to look up to see the expression of His Highness the Third Highness. He took off his trousers, opened the door of the cubicle and the soup pool, and quickly jumped into the warm water.
Pei Zhaoheng saw him like that just now, and guessed how much he was thinking. It was even more funny to see him running away like this, but he could only shake his head helplessly, and then stepped into the pool.
He Gu flicked the water, but still couldn't hold back a sigh of emotion, and said, "Your Highness...you...you are really talented..."
After all, in his previous life, no matter what, he also stayed in the army for more than ten years, and it was not worth mentioning to compare his size with his brothers. This "size" can be regarded as the first time he met...
It's really enviable...cough.
He said in a low voice, but the third prince didn't hear clearly, he frowned and said: "What?"
He Gu coughed dryly and said, "Uh...it's nothing, nothing."
He hurriedly changed the subject again, and said: "By the way, how are you doing in Jinling all these years by yourself?" Pei Zhaoheng heard it clearly this time, and after a moment of silence, he replied: "There is nothing wrong with being rich and idle. "
Although the two were separated by a foot in the pool, when He Gu raised his head, he could still see Pei Zhaoheng's downcast eyes, and the crystal water droplets slowly rolling down after the warm water steam condensed on his slender eyelashes...
His Highness's appearance and tone... reminded him of how he used to laugh at himself before the court, saying that he was just an idler Sister Yu'er.
He Gu felt a little touched in his heart, and thought to himself, they really are siblings, but their status is hindered, but they are all people with deep holes in their hearts, unwilling to waste their time, and wasting their time.
The older sister is a woman... that's fine, but the Third Highness is so talented and also a legitimate son, but because of his frail and sick body, he will be dispatched to Jinling. At the feet of the father of Bianjing, it is good to make a difference.
His Highness the Third... In your heart, you are actually unwilling, right?
Even when we met in the previous life, listening to his tone, it seemed that he was relieved.
But at that time, after all, he was already a middle-aged man who had been polished by the years for many years, but now, this Third Highness, who is in his best years, can really have no regrets and no obsessions?
He Gu looked at him for a long while, and finally couldn't help but said: "Your Highness...if you don't want to be idle...it's not impossible, right?"
What he said obviously surprised Pei Zhaoheng. Seeing him looking up at him, He Gu said seriously: "... I have recently realized a truth. A person's life is only a few dozen years. What do you want and care about?" Yes, instead of putting it in someone else's hands, letting others hold it, begging for mercy, and maybe end up with nothing in the end, it's better to fight, even if it doesn't work in the end, it's considered no regrets."
Although there are only him and the Third Highness here, He Gu's words are still extremely cryptic, and there is no mention of contending for heirs or heirs, but He Gu believes that with the wisdom of the Third Highness, as long as he has the heart, he can It's not hard to hear his overtones.
It was only when Pei Zhaoheng remained silent that he added: "...Just like me and Your Highness the eldest princess, I am now a son-in-law, above the court, and I am doomed to do nothing in this life, but I also want to be called Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, has lived a smooth and stable life with no worries about food and clothing. Now that His Majesty is here, she naturally loves her elder sister, but what if ten or twenty years later? If one day... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, will the Princess Mansion be Can it still maintain the situation it is today?"
He Gu paused as he spoke, then turned to look at Pei Zhaoheng, but saw that his face was calm, and he was only looking at himself, not knowing what he was thinking.
He Gudao: "...I know, what I said just now was a bit offensive. After listening to others, they might say that I am rebellious, but I didn't mean to curse Your Majesty, I..."
Pei Zhaoheng said: "It's okay, Zihuan is just planning for a rainy day, there is nothing wrong with it, it's just you and me here, there is no need to be formal."
He Gu saw that he really didn't mind, so he continued to sigh: "I can only take care of the family property store in the mansion, and do business in order to keep some of the family business, hoping to keep Sister Yu'er's food and clothing in the future. only……"
only……
After all, money is just money, if you don't have the right to rely on it, there will always be a day when you can't keep it.
But it's too early to say this to His Highness the Third Highness right now.
He Gu was in distress, how else could he insinuate and hint, but he heard Pei Zhaoheng suddenly say: "Zihuan married the imperial sister and ruined his future career, so don't you regret it? I heard that you just married He Laohou at the beginning of this year. Cheng He returned to the capital in chaos, you captured the leader of the bandits, and won praise from your father, don't tell me...you don't want to ride your horse on the battlefield anymore?"
He Gu was startled, silent for a while, and suddenly said: "If your Highness wants to ask me if I still want to go on the battlefield, I naturally think about it, but if you want to ask me if I regret it..."
He raised his head, looked at Pei Zhaoheng, and said firmly, "For Your Highness, He Gu does not regret it."
Pei Zhaoheng: "..."
He Gu's firm and unhesitating eight words, almost every word, hit his heart——
Every word is thrilling.
He clearly knew in his heart which Highness Zihuan was for, but he still couldn't help but be moved by it.
After He Gu finished speaking, he had already leaned back against the wall of the pool. He didn't know what to think of, and suddenly sighed, and said: "... If things like riding horses on the battlefield are for the purpose of defending the country, then that's okay, but if It's better to be exempted from being a swordsman for others."
"I'm not very smart, and I don't want to be someone else's sword. If I really want to lead the army, I might be fooled by someone. It's easier to eat this bowl of soft rice from Sister Yu'er."
"However, Your Highness is different from me. As long as your body recovers, you can't do what you want?"
He Gu thought about this, and said seriously: "I will introduce a doctor to Your Highness later on, and I will definitely cure your highness of kidney deficiency. When the time comes, Your Highness will be alive and kicking, won't you have to go back to Jinling again?"
Pei Zhaoheng: "...I'm just afraid of the cold, not kidney deficiency."
He Gu let out a "harm", leaned on the wall of the pool, and was about to say more, but suddenly the sole of his foot slipped for no reason, and Dang Li fell forward.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Pei Zhaoheng hurried forward to support him, and said, "Be careful...are you okay?"
He Gu was also taken aback, probably because the pool was too warm, soaking in it would make people dizzy, he was distracted for a moment, and almost slipped, but luckily the third prince caught him, otherwise he would have lost his mind. Even in the water, I am afraid that I will fall stupid.
only……
... At this moment, she is lying on her back in the arms of His Highness the Third Highness, and I always feel that this posture is not quite right...
And there was something that was pressed against his... thigh.
He Gu is also a man, and he is not stupid, so he quickly realized what it was. He raised his eyes and looked at the Third Highness in shock, swallowed, and after a long while, he said with difficulty: "Your Highness...you ..."
Pei Zhaoheng obviously sensed that something was wrong, he helped He Gu back, and looked sideways in some embarrassment.
"Maybe it's...too hot."
He Gu: "..."
It seems that the Third Highness has kidney deficiency... really wronged him... Doesn't this look good.
...just a little embarrassing.
But think about it carefully... People are not sages, who can be tough... His Highness seems to be a decent person, he should just hold back for a long time, and it's not that he has any unreasonable thoughts about him.
Didn't His Highness say that he has a sweetheart?
That being the case...
Then there is nothing to worry about... right?
The third prince said: "...Have you not read Zihuan? It can be seen that Zihuan just looked like he has seen this book..."
He Gu guessed in his heart that this brother-in-law was a broken sleeve, so he was afraid that he would misunderstand himself, and before he finished speaking, he said: "I... Although I have indeed read this script, it is only because, cough... Your Highness knows about this, so please keep quiet."
Seeing that his reaction was interesting, Pei Zhaoheng became more and more interested, but his face remained calm, and he only said: "Zihuan, but it's okay to say, I will keep my mouth shut."
He Gu paused for a moment, and said: "...This book was printed and sold by my bookstore, so I just read it. The gentleman who wrote the book is also a...uh, good friend of mine."
He thought for a while, and felt that Yan Zhiya was a woman after all, and it was unreasonable to tell others about her writing in the Longyang dialect book. Yan Zhiya's identity as a woman.
The third prince was silent for a while when he heard the words, and after a while, he looked at him, suppressed the smile on his face, and said: "If that's the case... then I misunderstood Zihuan...?"
He Gu heard the words, nodded like a slapstick, and said: "Your Highness really misunderstood me, I really have no interest in this Longyang dialect book, and... it's not a broken sleeve, Your Highness, please don't worry about it. Your Highness has a heart, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other. I will definitely only like her in this life, and I will never change my heart in death."
He Gu's sudden confession was not only because he really thought so in his heart, but also because...
In case the Third Highness really ascends to the throne in the future, the new king will remember that he is not only a flamboyant son-in-law, but also dares to be masculine and put a cuckold on his own sister... that's not bad ? !
Although His Highness the Third Highness is much more benevolent and kind than the Crown Prince, the clay figurine is still somewhat rustic. How could he not be angry if his sister was being bullied?
The emperor was furious...
Really can't afford it.
But he never expected that after he finished his confession from the bottom of his heart, the expression on His Highness's face did not soften.
Not only did it not ease up, I don't know if it was He Gu's illusion...
His face seemed to have darkened even more.
Pei Zhaoheng was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "... Is that really the case?"
He Gu lowered his head and said, "Don't dare to lie to Your Highness."
Pei Zhaoheng paused for a moment, and said, "Guan Zihuan's expression just now, it seems that... he really hates Long Yang's habit?"
He Gu was stunned, and said: "Well... that's not true, I'm the only one who doesn't like it. Other people like cats or dogs, men or women, what does that have to do with me, and it's not my turn to point them out. .”
The third prince didn't reply.
He Gu saw that his complexion was getting darker, and finally he didn't even smile at all. He only lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He Gu looked at his appearance, but was slightly taken aback——
The Third Highness turned cold, this expression, and...
And Sister Yuer, it seems...
He really deserves to be his own siblings, just now he was caught off guard, and at first glance, he was almost mistaken.
He was distracted, but suddenly he heard the third prince say: "Even if Zihuan thinks it's nothing, the habit of breaking sleeves is still a minority among people, and it is unacceptable in the world to rebel against yin and yang."
After hearing his words, He Gu couldn't help but move in his heart. He raised his eyes to see the expression of the third prince, but he didn't see anything. After a long while, he hesitated and said: "...Your Highness, you are..."
However, the third prince slowly raised his eyes, those water-cut peach blossom eyes, as long as the smile is removed, they can't help but take on a three-point indifference and coldness far away from the world, and...
And a little imperceptible loneliness.
He said: "...Zihuan, do you think I'm strange?"
Although Pei Zhaoheng asked this question abruptly, he didn't say clearly why He Gu would find him strange, but at this moment, the two people sitting in the carriage were not stupid. What does it mean.
Master He Xiaohou swallowed involuntarily, and thought to himself, if the third highness just had his sleeves broken, he would naturally not make a fuss or make a fuss. These princes and grandchildren in Beijing are not as noble as His highness, and they still raise young men , Go to the Nanfeng Pavilion to listen to the music, so this is not a big deal, as long as...
As long as you don't think about me, you are my brother-in-law.
Master He Xiaohou said so in his heart.
But there was only a twitch of a dry smile on his face, and he forced out a sentence: "Uh... if you break your sleeves, you can break your sleeves, and it's not a big deal if you don't eat other people's rice."
The third prince was silent for a moment, and then said after a while: "...I have never thought of marrying a wife and having children, and the person I admire...is indeed a man."
"...Except for him, other men have never moved me, if that counts, then I probably have lost my sleeve."
After He Gu heard this, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.
Not because of anything else, just because of the tone of His Majesty the Third Highness, and the meaning of the "admired person" in his words, obviously it didn't happen in a day or two. ...
It certainly wouldn't be him.
... As expected, he has read too many books about Yan Zhiya's words in recent days, and made all the grass and trees like soldiers, so he made wild guesses.
He thought to himself, it's just a broken sleeve, it's nothing, anyway, Your Highness, after you become the emperor, you will be the king of the world, whoever you fancy, just tie it up, let alone you just like men, that's all. Your old man likes monkeys, and no one dares to talk too much because he thinks his life is too long.
Immediately comforted him and said: "Isn't it just a broken sleeve, as long as the two of you have the same mind and the same interests, it is more important than anything, and you will still be happy for a lifetime."
The third prince stared at him with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and said slowly: "But... there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the greatest. He has a good family background and good character, if he wants to have no heirs because of me... how can he be willing."
He Gu looked at his appearance, but felt a little dazed in his heart.
His Highness the Third...she is so much like her sister.
He couldn't help but think of the night before the eldest princess left, she told him with a lonely expression that she was barren.
At that time, my sister also lowered her eyes like this, her lips trembled again and again, and it took a long time to speak a word, her voice was dry.
She... If she also fell in love with him, and kept her heart disease of being sick and infertile in her heart, how uncomfortable it would be...
When He Gu thought about it, he only hated himself for being so careless at that time. He didn't notice anything unusual until his sister was so sad that she couldn't take it anymore...
She will leave the capital, leave him, and want to be alone.
Thinking of this, He Gu's eyes were a little sour. He looked at the Third Highness who was still downcast, and suddenly felt a feeling of sympathy. This time, he was sincerely comforting him, sincerely Said: "Your Highness, I've lost my mind. I think...the world of mortals and all living beings, how difficult it is to find a person who loves me? If she also happens to fall in love with me, it will be a perfect thing that is hard to find in the world." , although the son is good, how can he compare to this person who is hard to find even with a lantern? If His Highness admires someone, he will abandon His Highness because of his son, which only shows that he is not really in love with His Highness. That's really the case, that's because he doesn't deserve His Highness to do this for him, wouldn't it be enough to change to another one?"
The third prince seemed a little surprised when he heard the words. After a long while, he slowly raised his eyes, looked at He Gu, and said, "...I don't know that Zihuan is such a dedicated person."
When He Gu heard this, he immediately puffed up his chest, and said: "That's natural, I only have Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in my heart, and I only want to grow old with him, and I can't tolerate other people."
Pei Zhaoheng: "..."
He Gu was about to say more, but the third prince suddenly said: "But... what if that person already has a wife?"
He Xiaohou heard this, turned his head to look at the slightly frowning Third Highness with a serious face, and was instantly stunned.
... No, I thought His Highness the Third Highness would be very relaxed, but I didn't expect him to be so generous? ?
He swallowed, and said: "...Well, why don't you change it, after all, if you have a husband...uh, a married man is also a married person, rashly messing with other people's husband and wife, it seems...no Great way."
Pei Zhaoheng: "..."
Seeing that he was silent, He Gu had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder in the end, and said: "Where is there no grass in the end of the world, your highness is so good-looking and talented, why do you have to hang yourself on a tree with a crooked neck?"
After he finished speaking, it was already dark outside the carriage, Zhengye yelled outside, "Master, we're almost here!"
He Gu opened the curtains of the carriage and took a look. The mountains and rivers in the suburbs of Beijing are picturesque, and they look more and more hazy in the twilight. At the far end of the road ahead, there are indeed some bright lights. It's Zhuangzi.
The two chatted all the way, after a few hours, they didn't feel that the carriage was bumpy and the journey was long, but when He Gu was young, when he was growing up, his stomach was unavoidably empty, and he even began to grumble when he was hungry. Fortunately, there was only one His Highness the Third Highness on the carriage, and no one else could hear him, not afraid of embarrassment.
Seeing His Royal Highness turning his head to look at him, He Gu just grinned at him and said, "I've always been very hungry, and His Royal Highness laughed at me."
He smiled brightly and brightly, and he didn't think much of it, but he told Pei Zhaoheng to look at it, his ears felt slightly warm, and a few traces of imperceptible redness appeared, and he quickly looked away.
The two got out of the carriage, and the servants of Zhuangzi had already received the letter, and they were waiting in front of Zhuangzi's gate. The person in charge was an old man with a gray beard, who looked about sixty years old, but his back was not stooped, his eyes were shining, and he looked very serious. Looks energetic.
When the old man saw the two of them get off the carriage, he saw He Gu at a glance, walked up two steps, and said: "The old man has been in charge of this village for more than ten years, and now he can be regarded as seeing the young master."
This Zhuangzi was originally Miss Yan's dowry, and Wan Shu'er probably disliked it at the beginning. This Zhuangzi is a bit remote in the suburbs of Beijing, so he didn't have any idea about it, so it has always been in the hands of Nanny Qu.
The old man reckoned that he was also an old slave arranged by the Yan family when Miss Yan got married more than ten years ago.
He Gu greeted him with a smile, introduced him, and said that the young man in Xuanyi who followed him was the third prince.
Fortunately, the old man got the letter from Guanshi Liu in advance, otherwise he would have been frightened when he saw Prince Longsun for the first time.
However, he has prepared everything early, and the dinner has been prepared in the dining room for Pei and He. Although the dishes are not as exquisite as those in Beijing, they are fresh and rich. When He Gu saw it, he couldn't help but praise him for his hard work .
The old man was praised by the master, rubbed his hands happily and said: "I heard from the person sent by Liu Guanshi that the third prince is afraid of the cold, so he came to our village to soak in the spring, so he asked the kitchen to specially make this beef stew. If your Highness is afraid of the cold, the old man’s family knows a little bit about how to nourish the food, she said that if you are still afraid of the cold in summer, it is most likely due to kidney yang deficiency, eating more beef is good for nourishing the kidney!"
He Guqi said: "Oh? Is that so, so there is such a saying that the fear of cold is due to kidney deficiency? Then you really need to make up for your highness."
Pei Zhaoheng: "..."
After a while, he twitched his face and said: "...Thank you for your trouble, old man."
This old man probably stays in the village all the year round, he is very lonely, and he likes to be lively when he is old. Hearing that his old face is full of wrinkles and smiles, he doesn't dare to be, dare not be, so he closed the door, leaving the two of them to eat ,out.
He Gu saw that Zheng Ye and the third prince's bodyguard were still guarding behind him, and said: "You two also go to eat something by yourself, rest, you don't need to stay here."
The two left in response.
He Gu came to this Zhuangzi to soak a few times before, and he knew the way. He picked up a piece of beef for the third prince, and said to him: "To soak in this warm spring, you still have to eat something first, otherwise you will go down for a while." If you drink water, you will easily feel dizzy due to the heat, and don’t eat too much, only five percent full is enough.”
Pei Zhaoheng lowered his eyes, looked at the big piece of beef that Zihuan had put into his bowl, endured and endured, and finally suppressed the sentence "I don't have a kidney deficiency".
There were only a few maidservants guarding the village, and after dinner, only two maidservants came over and led them to the soup pool. He Gu saw that the two maidservants were going to follow them in and help them change their clothes. He himself was not used to this. Then he turned his head and wanted to ask the third prince, but before he could ask, he heard the third prince said flatly: "No need, I will do it myself."
Seeing this, He Gu raised his eyebrows, but he really didn't expect that, although His Highness the Third Highness is in poor health, he is also like him, and doesn't like serving maids.
In front of the soup pool is a small compartment for the owner to change clothes. The two of them entered the compartment. Before changing their clothes, they felt a damp and steaming heat seeping from the soup pool inside through a thin door. .
It's hot in summer, and He Gu wouldn't think of going to the hot springs in normal times, but now that the Third Prince has come down, he, the master, has to accompany him.
Fortunately, the nights in the suburbs of Beijing are very cool, not as muggy as in the middle of Beijing, so soaking in the hot springs will not cause people to suffer. He Gu didn't wear a few clothes at first, and he took them off so tightly that his upper body was already gone. He was naked, but he turned his head to look at the Third Highness, and saw that he was untying the tie of his coat.
Unbuttoning his middle clothes, Master He Xiaohou looked at the third highness's naked upper body, couldn't help swallowing, and was almost stunned.
Your Highness...
Didn't everyone say he was sick?
This... This is wearing clothes, I just think that His Highness has broad shoulders and long legs, and it is because of his tall head and broad frame that he shows it, but after taking off his clothes, he is not thin at all...
The Third Highness has broad shoulders and arms, strong and smooth muscles, and a slender and beautiful neck line. His complexion is also the same as that of his elder sister, the eldest princess, as cold and white as jade. He took off his clothes at this moment, and when he looked at it for a while, he could see the smooth and well-defined chest muscles. The muscles make people feel dizzy and dizzy.
He Xiaohou has always been conceited, thinking that among men, his figure is absolutely beautiful, but now he met the third highness who is also a man...
...But he couldn't go against his conscience and say that he was better than him.
With such a body, why...how could he be weak and chilly?
I really can't figure it out, can't figure it out, can't figure it out.
Could it be that there is something wrong with the internal organs?When I turn back, I must ask Miss Yan to show His Highness a good look.
He Guzheng was thinking about it, but Pei Zhaoheng had already pulled off the white jade hairpin, and all of a sudden, his black hair fell like a waterfall——
He was even more infatuated with Master He Xiaohou.
It also……
She looks so much like sister Yuer! !
And...and...
Looking at the third prince's face against his sister's face like this, and looking down, he can see his eight-pack abs... The visual impact is too...
But the more shocking thing is yet to come.
He Gu stared blankly, but on the side of the Third Highness, only a pair of obscene trousers were left. Even though He Xiaohou had already had an ominous premonition, he shouted in his heart to tell himself not to look, but his gaze still remained unchanged. Controlling it, he glanced at the waist of the Third Highness——
...and then people are stupid.
Although it is separated by a pair of obscene trousers... But they are all men after all, so you don't need to look closely at all, you can basically tell how many catties there are at a glance.
Master He Xiaohou was hit hard.
Omg.
Although... my brother-in-law is two years older than him, and he is also much taller, but he can't be so different!
This is too hurtful...
Third Highness... What the hell did he eat to grow up? ? ?
They are all men, how can there be such a difference?it's not fair...
His heart was already bubbling with sourness, but when he looked up again, he could see the face of His Highness Third Highness that was exactly the same as Sister Yu'er...
five.
Thunder.
boom.
top.
Master He Xiaohou was stunned.
Unexpectedly, seeing that he hadn't finished taking off, Pei Zhaoheng tilted his head in confusion and said, "Zihuan?"
He Gu looked at him with dull eyes, and let out an "ah".
His Royal Highness said: "...Why are you not moving?"
Master He Xiaohou tugged at the bottom of his trousers that hadn't been loosened: "..."
He thought a little sadly, forget it, I am only 16 years old, and I will grow up again... If I am ashamed, I will be ashamed.
Only then did he move slowly, and reluctantly took off his pants, leaving only a pair of dangling obscene pants.
He didn't dare to look up to see the expression of His Highness the Third Highness. He took off his trousers, opened the door of the cubicle and the soup pool, and quickly jumped into the warm water.
Pei Zhaoheng saw him like that just now, and guessed how much he was thinking. It was even more funny to see him running away like this, but he could only shake his head helplessly, and then stepped into the pool.
He Gu flicked the water, but still couldn't hold back a sigh of emotion, and said, "Your Highness...you...you are really talented..."
After all, in his previous life, no matter what, he also stayed in the army for more than ten years, and it was not worth mentioning to compare his size with his brothers. This "size" can be regarded as the first time he met...
It's really enviable...cough.
He said in a low voice, but the third prince didn't hear clearly, he frowned and said: "What?"
He Gu coughed dryly and said, "Uh...it's nothing, nothing."
He hurriedly changed the subject again, and said: "By the way, how are you doing in Jinling all these years by yourself?" Pei Zhaoheng heard it clearly this time, and after a moment of silence, he replied: "There is nothing wrong with being rich and idle. "
Although the two were separated by a foot in the pool, when He Gu raised his head, he could still see Pei Zhaoheng's downcast eyes, and the crystal water droplets slowly rolling down after the warm water steam condensed on his slender eyelashes...
His Highness's appearance and tone... reminded him of how he used to laugh at himself before the court, saying that he was just an idler Sister Yu'er.
He Gu felt a little touched in his heart, and thought to himself, they really are siblings, but their status is hindered, but they are all people with deep holes in their hearts, unwilling to waste their time, and wasting their time.
The older sister is a woman... that's fine, but the Third Highness is so talented and also a legitimate son, but because of his frail and sick body, he will be dispatched to Jinling. At the feet of the father of Bianjing, it is good to make a difference.
His Highness the Third... In your heart, you are actually unwilling, right?
Even when we met in the previous life, listening to his tone, it seemed that he was relieved.
But at that time, after all, he was already a middle-aged man who had been polished by the years for many years, but now, this Third Highness, who is in his best years, can really have no regrets and no obsessions?
He Gu looked at him for a long while, and finally couldn't help but said: "Your Highness...if you don't want to be idle...it's not impossible, right?"
What he said obviously surprised Pei Zhaoheng. Seeing him looking up at him, He Gu said seriously: "... I have recently realized a truth. A person's life is only a few dozen years. What do you want and care about?" Yes, instead of putting it in someone else's hands, letting others hold it, begging for mercy, and maybe end up with nothing in the end, it's better to fight, even if it doesn't work in the end, it's considered no regrets."
Although there are only him and the Third Highness here, He Gu's words are still extremely cryptic, and there is no mention of contending for heirs or heirs, but He Gu believes that with the wisdom of the Third Highness, as long as he has the heart, he can It's not hard to hear his overtones.
It was only when Pei Zhaoheng remained silent that he added: "...Just like me and Your Highness the eldest princess, I am now a son-in-law, above the court, and I am doomed to do nothing in this life, but I also want to be called Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, has lived a smooth and stable life with no worries about food and clothing. Now that His Majesty is here, she naturally loves her elder sister, but what if ten or twenty years later? If one day... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, will the Princess Mansion be Can it still maintain the situation it is today?"
He Gu paused as he spoke, then turned to look at Pei Zhaoheng, but saw that his face was calm, and he was only looking at himself, not knowing what he was thinking.
He Gudao: "...I know, what I said just now was a bit offensive. After listening to others, they might say that I am rebellious, but I didn't mean to curse Your Majesty, I..."
Pei Zhaoheng said: "It's okay, Zihuan is just planning for a rainy day, there is nothing wrong with it, it's just you and me here, there is no need to be formal."
He Gu saw that he really didn't mind, so he continued to sigh: "I can only take care of the family property store in the mansion, and do business in order to keep some of the family business, hoping to keep Sister Yu'er's food and clothing in the future. only……"
only……
After all, money is just money, if you don't have the right to rely on it, there will always be a day when you can't keep it.
But it's too early to say this to His Highness the Third Highness right now.
He Gu was in distress, how else could he insinuate and hint, but he heard Pei Zhaoheng suddenly say: "Zihuan married the imperial sister and ruined his future career, so don't you regret it? I heard that you just married He Laohou at the beginning of this year. Cheng He returned to the capital in chaos, you captured the leader of the bandits, and won praise from your father, don't tell me...you don't want to ride your horse on the battlefield anymore?"
He Gu was startled, silent for a while, and suddenly said: "If your Highness wants to ask me if I still want to go on the battlefield, I naturally think about it, but if you want to ask me if I regret it..."
He raised his head, looked at Pei Zhaoheng, and said firmly, "For Your Highness, He Gu does not regret it."
Pei Zhaoheng: "..."
He Gu's firm and unhesitating eight words, almost every word, hit his heart——
Every word is thrilling.
He clearly knew in his heart which Highness Zihuan was for, but he still couldn't help but be moved by it.
After He Gu finished speaking, he had already leaned back against the wall of the pool. He didn't know what to think of, and suddenly sighed, and said: "... If things like riding horses on the battlefield are for the purpose of defending the country, then that's okay, but if It's better to be exempted from being a swordsman for others."
"I'm not very smart, and I don't want to be someone else's sword. If I really want to lead the army, I might be fooled by someone. It's easier to eat this bowl of soft rice from Sister Yu'er."
"However, Your Highness is different from me. As long as your body recovers, you can't do what you want?"
He Gu thought about this, and said seriously: "I will introduce a doctor to Your Highness later on, and I will definitely cure your highness of kidney deficiency. When the time comes, Your Highness will be alive and kicking, won't you have to go back to Jinling again?"
Pei Zhaoheng: "...I'm just afraid of the cold, not kidney deficiency."
He Gu let out a "harm", leaned on the wall of the pool, and was about to say more, but suddenly the sole of his foot slipped for no reason, and Dang Li fell forward.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Pei Zhaoheng hurried forward to support him, and said, "Be careful...are you okay?"
He Gu was also taken aback, probably because the pool was too warm, soaking in it would make people dizzy, he was distracted for a moment, and almost slipped, but luckily the third prince caught him, otherwise he would have lost his mind. Even in the water, I am afraid that I will fall stupid.
only……
... At this moment, she is lying on her back in the arms of His Highness the Third Highness, and I always feel that this posture is not quite right...
And there was something that was pressed against his... thigh.
He Gu is also a man, and he is not stupid, so he quickly realized what it was. He raised his eyes and looked at the Third Highness in shock, swallowed, and after a long while, he said with difficulty: "Your Highness...you ..."
Pei Zhaoheng obviously sensed that something was wrong, he helped He Gu back, and looked sideways in some embarrassment.
"Maybe it's...too hot."
He Gu: "..."
It seems that the Third Highness has kidney deficiency... really wronged him... Doesn't this look good.
...just a little embarrassing.
But think about it carefully... People are not sages, who can be tough... His Highness seems to be a decent person, he should just hold back for a long time, and it's not that he has any unreasonable thoughts about him.
Didn't His Highness say that he has a sweetheart?
That being the case...
Then there is nothing to worry about... right?
