Fake concubine, real queen

Wang Muchuan yelled twice, but he never got an answer. He only saw He Gu holding the brush and giggling nonstop, and he didn't know what he thought of. Nose, Wang Muchuan couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to use a tone that he had never used before, and shouted loudly and very insultingly: "He Zihuan!"

He Gu was taken aback by him, and almost threw the horse brush in his hand out in fright, then recovered his senses and said, "Second brother, what are you doing so loudly, you're frightening to death."

Wang Muchuan said: "I called you for a long time, but you didn't respond, what's the matter, now that you have asked the Holy Majesty for your life, do you know if you regret it?"

He Gu asked inexplicably, "What do I regret?"

Wang Muchuan was silent for a while before he said: "I know you value love, but after all, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has passed away, and you are separated from her. You are still young, and you are not yet as weak as the crown, and you will have decades to come. Now you just want to make a hasty decision like this for a while, and you never thought about being alone in the future, if you regret it, what should you do?"

He Gu glanced at him strangely, and said: "If I don't continue my life, I won't return to my family, and if I don't continue my life, it may not mean that I will be lonely for the rest of my life. My younger siblings are very sensible, and they are still young. Brother Cheng and Rong'er will get married in the future." , their child is my child, and the title of the He family is not uninherited, why is it as miserable as the second brother said?"

He said again: "And the second elder brother is already weak now, isn't he not married yet? I see that the second elder brother is doing well, and I haven't seen you yet, so where is the loneliness?"

Wang Muchuan was stunned by his words for a moment, and after a while he frowned and said: "You and me, this... how can this be compared? The loneliness I said means that when you get old, when the time comes..."

He Gu got a headache when he heard that, and thought to himself why the second brother and Zhengye had the same appearance, so he quickly interrupted him and said, "Oh, that's all right, don't read the scriptures, second brother, I know it in my heart, I'm not stupid, I will do it myself I have made a decision, and I have thought about the way out, and I will not regret it in the future, so don't worry, I also appreciate the kindness of the second brother."

He Gu acted like a fool, and Wang Muchuan had nothing to do with him. He just stared at him with those dead fish eyes without saying a word. He stared at him for a long time, and he was about to ask him what's wrong. However, Wang Muchuan suddenly said coldly: "Zihuan... can't let the eldest princess go like this?"

He Gu was about to answer yes, yes, I have only admired the eldest princess as a woman and only her as a wife in my life, but I heard Wang Muchuan say: "...but you and her have never had a real husband and wife relationship. However, we have been together for a short period of time, and they must have seemed close to each other. Her Royal Highness the eldest princess does not admire you, nor does she love Chong Zihuan as much as Zihuan loves her. Is it really worthwhile for you to indulge in the past for the sake of the princess? ?”

He Gu was slightly taken aback, and wondered: "...How do you know that I and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess are not husband and wife?"

He Gu was really puzzled. He thought about it for a long time. In the past six months, he hadn't met Second Brother Wang very much. Even if he had met, he would have just nodded and left. It's also impossible that he drank too much one day and uttered the truth with Second Brother Wang after drinking, right?

He Gu wanted to ask, but Wang Muchuan said: "...Anyway, Zihuan listen to me, you are so infatuated for 'her', it's not worth it."

Wang Muchuan didn't know what he thought of. He looked at He Gu with good eyes for a moment, he was hesitant to speak, and he didn't know what he wanted to say. Things...Zihuan doesn't know, and the eldest princess...is not what Zihuan imagined."

When He Gu heard this sentence, he was stunned for a while, then he came back to his senses for a while, but suddenly there was a thump in his heart, he hung the brush on the horse, walked up to Wang Muchuan, and said in a low voice: "Two Brother... do you know something?"

I don't know if it's He Gu's delusion, but just now what Second Brother Wang meant, he always thinks that Second Brother Wang knows that the identity of the 'Eldest Princess' is tricky.

Second Brother Wang has always been reticent in his daily life. Although his mouth is venomous, he would occasionally sarcasm at people he is familiar with, but Second Young Master Wang is still a gentleman at heart. , on weekdays, her words and deeds are prudent, she is not mean, and she never talks about a woman. What's more, in the eyes of everyone, the "eldest princess" is the jewel in the palm of his majesty, the heart of the empress, and the blood of the royal family. 'Everyone is dead, how can someone like Second Brother Wang talk about a dead woman?

He must know something!

But how could this happen? Very few people knew about it, so how did Wang Muchuan know?

...Could it be that His Majesty told his mentor, Mr. Wang, about this matter, and then the second brother found out?

However, when he entered the palace a few days ago, he met the eldest brother of the Wang family. On the way, Wang Muze took him to comfort him sympathetically, and told him to mourn and not hurt himself. It's tricky...

And how could His Majesty tell others about this so easily? Even he, who was fooled around and married the eldest princess, has not been told the truth about the identity of the "Eldest Princess" to this day. He can know I didn't become a fool about this matter, it's all because His Highness the Third Highness still has a conscience, and confessed to him, how could His Majesty tell Mr. Wang about this matter?

...Unless, unless Your Majesty has other intentions.

Thinking of this, He Gu couldn't help but feel his heart beat a little faster. He had always thought that although His Majesty loved Empress Chen and her children, His Majesty was so tolerant towards the Crown Prince, and after so many years of training, his heart The candidate for the heir apparent is already a certainty, the Crown Prince Pei Zhaoyuan, but if His Majesty really told his mentor, Mr. Wang...then...

A bold conjecture emerged in He Gu's mind. This conjecture suddenly made him feel that he was still a little uncertain and unclear about the way forward in the past, and it suddenly became brighter. I heard Wang Muchuan say: "...you don't have to worry about what I know. In short, even if you want to show your loyalty to His Majesty, it is enough for you to mourn for the eldest princess. If you don't marry her for life, there is no need for you. I'm wasting myself."

He Gu didn't answer him, but suddenly said: "Second brother, don't have to go around in circles, you know it, and I know it too. I won't marry for the rest of my life just because I don't want to."

As soon as he said this, Wang Muchuan was startled immediately, even though he was always reserved, his expression suddenly changed when he recovered after a while, he looked at He Gu, his lips trembled, and said: "You know?"

Although He Gu felt in his heart that the "that matter" that Second Brother Wang knew was probably the fact that the eldest princess was the Third Highness, but he was only [-]% sure that this was the case, so he didn't dare to speak out easily. If not, then he told Second Brother Wang that he had leaked this huge royal secret, and what if he missed the emperor and the Third Highness' affairs in the future, what would he do if he wanted to settle the score with him?

So He Gu played charades with Second Brother Wang, and said vaguely: "Ah, yes, I've known it for a while."

Second Brother Wang's face became even more shocked when he heard the words, his voice changed, and he said, "You know, at the beginning I advised you not to continue meddling, but you insisted on doing this? You..."

Hearing what he said, He Gu felt a little uncertain again——

Is what Second Brother Wang said and what he thought were the same thing?

He Gu had no choice but to continue babbling nonsense, using Wang Muchuan's words, and said, "Even if I know, so what, what did Second Brother persuade me?"

Finally, Wang Muchuan couldn't hold back any longer, his eyebrows twitched, and he said in a low voice: "Why didn't I persuade you? I talked to you back then, but you decided to be this son-in-law. Since you already knew, why did you marry His Highness?" I only thought that you were kept in the dark, and it was inconvenient to tell you this directly, but you knew it, but you still jumped into the fire pit, and now you are in such an embarrassing situation, and you are only to blame!"

Wang Muchuan's chest heaved and heaved a little, as if he was very angry, he paused and said: "...At the beginning, you really needed someone to support you to sort out the mess in your house, but you didn't just have to find someone to help you. His Majesty's road, right now, has won His Majesty's trust and closeness, but you have put all your life's events into it, is it worth it?"

After listening to Wang Muchuan's words, He Gu finally confirmed that he must have guessed correctly, Second Brother Wang was well aware that the 'Eldest Princess' was the Third Highness. Getting angry, he grabbed Wang Muchuan's arm and said, "How did the second brother know about this?"

Wang Muchuan's shoulders hurt from being grabbed by him, but he didn't struggle. He calmed down and took a breath, looked up at He Gu, and said, "Two years ago...the royal officials beside His Majesty came to the mansion to explain things to my father. , During the secret conversation, I accidentally overheard a few words, so I guessed it."

He Gu said angrily: "Since... since the second brother knew everything at the time, why didn't you tell me, just watched...seeing me getting married happily, the second brother now blames me. How did I know this, I thought the 'Eldest Princess' was..."

Wang Muchuan said: "Didn't you just say that you knew everything?"

He Gu took a few breaths, and after a long while, he said in a suffocated voice: "...I know what the hell, it was after the New Year's Eve palace banquet that the crap happened, and the Third Highness told me."

This time it was Wang Muchuan's turn to be silent.

Wang Muchuan was silent for a long time, and then said: "...At that time, my father found out that I heard it, and told me repeatedly, strictly ordering me not to tell others about it. Because of your obsession, I can only attack Zihuan."

He Gu said tiredly: "Second brother is not the first day I have known you. You guys are very smart. You can make a lot of twists and turns when you say a sentence. It's not enough to play riddles with seven or eight meanings. How can I have that ability? Listen There were so many undertones and insinuations, I didn't even know what the second brother meant when he stopped me."

Hearing this, Wang Muchuan looked at him for a while, then sighed for a long time, and said: "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk, but you have to think about it, that is, if you really don't want to marry again, when the princess is buried, you and I will marry each other." The 'Eldest Princess' has no heirs, and as a rule the Department of Internal Affairs is going to take back the Princess Mansion, but in the end, you have nothing left..."

He Gu didn't answer, just took back the brush and brushed the horse's fur twice, then said after a long silence: "Take it back, take it back, I'll just go home, it's not like I don't have a mansion."

There was silence between the two of them.

Xu Shi didn't know what to say to comfort He Gu, but it was really embarrassing for no one to speak, Wang Muchuan held back for a long time, and finally said bluntly: "...this horse is very good."

He Gu patted Yun Zhui's head, and said, "Of course it's good, this horse is a birthday present from His Highness the Third Highness."

Wang Muchuan was taken aback for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw that when He Gu mentioned that the horse was given to him by His Highness the Third Highness, his expression softened a little. ...Don't you blame him?"

He Gu stroked Yun Zhui's mane with his fingertips, his expression was a little melancholy, he sighed and said: "...If you say you don't complain at all, who would believe it? But His Highness the Third Highness didn't want to do this at all. It's destiny, good luck tricks people, and love has nothing to do with it. Now it's a done deal, so what's the use of complaining? People can't make things difficult for themselves, so this trip... I asked my life to help the spirit, and I also wanted to give myself an explanation. Let's just treat it as a real loss of a wife, and never think about it again... and don't feel bad because of it."

Wang Muchuan said: "It's best if you can think about it."

After being silent for a while, he said again: "Now that the 'Eldest Princess' has gone, 'she' is 'she', the Third Highness is the Third Highness, and His Highness is a man just like you, Zihuan must distinguish clearly, don't think about it." It's off."

He Gu was startled, turned to look at him, and said, "...What does Second Brother mean by that?"

However, Wang Muchuan quickly opened his eyes sideways, did not meet He Gu's gaze, and only said in a low voice: "...Duanxiu is a small way after all, and two men are far from men and women, and there will be no long-term future. I am I'm afraid that because of the 'Eldest Princess', Zihuan will have thoughts that shouldn't have happened, the royal family is very different from us ordinary people, you have a straight temper, don't regret it until you get hurt later."

He Gu was at a loss when he heard it, and it took a long time before he came back to it a little bit, thinking, hey, I really can't see that the second brother is so thoughtful on weekdays, right now he is not worried that he has taken a fancy to the third highness, If you want to break your sleeve but can't, you feel sad, right?This also worried him...

It's really dumbfounding.

He Gu said helplessly: "Second brother, where are you thinking? The third highness and I are just friends, nothing else. Your highness is valuable, so I naturally have a sense of proportion."

Yu Bi couldn't help sighing in his heart.

That's right, although He Gu knew that he was not as straightforward and open-minded as he said to his second brother Wang, but he once had a romantic relationship with his highness... After all, this is a secret that cannot be understood by outsiders. Tell Second Brother Wang, and the past is the past, he thought the third highness was a woman, and the future will be the future, so naturally it is impossible to get entangled with the future lord.

His Highness the Third Highness also has ambitions, and his heart is as clear as a mirror, so these geniuses will never mention those things before.

...Just treat that night as just a dream.

That's all there is to it.

He Xiaohou felt a little melancholy.

Wang Muchuan said: "It's good for Zihuan to be modest..."

At this moment, a familiar male voice suddenly came from behind the two of them: "What is Zihuan's sense of proportion?"

Wang Muchuan didn't realize who it was, but He Gu's back suddenly froze.

There is probably nothing scarier in the world than just chewing the root of someone's tongue, and the next second the Lord appears behind him.

He Gu bit the bullet, turned around, cupped his hands and said with a dry smile, "I've seen Your Highness."

Without a trace, very cryptic, he flinched at the young man who brought the two ancestors without saying hello, without winking today, and the young man shrank his neck in fright.

Pei Zhaoheng said: "I didn't go to the teahouse, and ordered him to bring me to find Zihuan without passing the message. Zihuan doesn't have to blame him."

He Gu laughed dryly, and said: "Uh...how can I blame him, this Princess Manor can go wherever he wants, it's not a big deal..."

Wang Muchuan also realized who it was, and cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Your Highness."

Pei Zhaoheng looked at He Gu and said, "Who is this?"

He Gu hurriedly introduced: "Ah, this is the second son of my mentor Mr. Wang, the second son of the Wang family, Wang Muchuan."

Then he said to Second Brother Wang: "This is His Highness the Third Highness."

Wang Muchuan and Pei Zhaoheng greeted each other with friendly greetings, He Gu threw the horse brush to the boy, and was about to ask them to sit and chat in the teahouse together, so they were familiar with each other, who knows if it was his illusion, Wang Muchuan The second brother doesn't seem to be getting along well with the third highness——

Naturally, there are very few people in the world who can have a happy conversation with Second Brother Wang and deal with them very well. There are really not many, but His Highness is the prince after all, and he is the son of the Son of Heaven. Second Brother Wang met His Highness today, but his attitude was obvious He was not very friendly, and even made He Gu feel a little cold. He had just finished greeting him, and when he heard He Gu's invitation to sit with him in the teahouse, he immediately refused, saying that he had something to deal with, and quickly left and ran away. .

As for His Highness the Third Highness, this is the first time He Gu has seen him treat others like this...

Well, it's a bit of a smirk.

Wang Muchuan left, and Pei and He were walking side by side in the garden of the Princess Mansion. He Guzheng wanted to ask the Third Highness if he had any trouble with Second Brother Wang, but he suddenly heard Pei Zhaoheng say: "Fang Cai Zihuan and Second Prince Wang said , what is the measure?"

He Gu was taken aback, remembering the conversation he had with Wang Muchuan just now.

After thinking about it for a while, I always feel that I should tell the Third Highness directly... He was just guaranteeing to Second Brother Wang that he would definitely not engage in Longyang with the Third Highness in the future, which seems a little weird...

If he wants to say this, His Highness will probably think that he is sick, and he will be very embarrassed. His Highness will definitely remember the time when he caused his ass to suffer, and he may become angry from embarrassment. He Xiaohou is not that stupid. Opening the pot, he just smiled dryly and said: "Uh... Today the second elder brother came to persuade me, telling me not to feel too uncomfortable, and to be gentle in my sorrow, so as not to hurt my body, I..."

He Gu remembered what happened just now, His Majesty would tell his teacher, Mr. Wang, about his son's disguise as a woman. He must have his own intentions. Maybe His Majesty really doesn't only have the crown prince in his heart... If that's the case, this move can't be justified. It is paving the way for His Highness, but His Highness may not know about it right now, and He Gu is not sure whether what he thinks is right, or not to tell His Highness for the time being, Second Brother Wang and Lord Wang know about it, right? ...

It happened to be a long way to go to Fuling. On the way, it is better to ask him to sort out the entangled forces and involvements in the capital. When he returns to the capital, his mood towards the Third Highness has calmed down. Said it, conspired in the future.

Sigh... Right now, there is nothing to eat, but he has already boarded the boat of His Highness the Third Highness.

Now in the eyes of others, he has inherited the title of Marquis of Changyang and married the sister of His Highness the Third Highness. If he switched to the prince or Pei Zhaolin's command, no one would believe that he was sincere, and most of them would think that he was two-sided, uneasy and well-intentioned.

What's more, the crown prince will not go if he is beaten to death in this life. As for the Second Highness, He Gu really dislikes him for being insane. Judging by His Highness's desperate measures, He Gu was also afraid that if he followed the Second Highness, he would not understand how the boat turned over one day, so he followed him to see the King of Hades...

After such a comparison, it is still His Majesty who is noble, ambitious, and capable of governing the world, and the empress who has suddenly turned into a living person after a serious illness that day, blowing pillow wind beside His Majesty...

Hey, I didn't pay attention to it before, but now that I think about it, the Third Highness in this life is already very different from the previous life. It is simply the right time, place and people, and with his help, why not be able to do that wicked thing like Pei Zhaoyuan?

...and the third highness is so good-looking, choosing him as the boss, and watching him every day from now on, is that better than choosing the crown prince and the second highness, isn't it?

He is also seeking the well-being of the eyes of all civil and military officials in the future.

... After all, it was a face that He Gu had once set his eyes on.

Thinking of this episode, and thinking of that glimpse of that extraordinary and gorgeous red on the long street that day, Master He Xiaohou couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable again, it was really sour and very melancholy.

Who would have thought that his first love, He Gu, had just arrived, and it fell to pieces in such a crash, that there was not even a scum left...

Who would have thought that such a good-looking sister would have a big man with handles like him under her skirt?

Although this is not the first time Master He Xiaohou has experienced such a mental journey, but every time he thinks about it, he still can't help but feel depressed...

And add congestion.

That's why He Gu felt that he really needed to go out and relax. He needed time and space, and also needed a chance to let go of this bad thing completely.

It is indeed bitter cold outside the pass, but there is nothing more open-minded and calming than galloping a horse on the endless snowfield.

He Guzheng was wandering in the sky, but he heard His Highness the Third Highness suddenly say: "...Zihuan doesn't have to be like this."

He Gu scratched his head and said, "What?"

Pei Zhaoheng said: "...Although there are foreign relatives, as usual, the 'princess' has passed away and has no heirs. After the Department of Internal Affairs takes back the princess mansion, the son-in-law can re-enter the official position, so there will be more words from the officials. A few words, but I will help you, even if Zihuan doesn't use this to gain the trust of his father and emperor, there is no way out."

He Gu was stunned for a moment, and then said after a while: "Your Highness misunderstood, I told His Majesty that I would not marry again, it was not because of this."

Pei Zhaoheng was silent for a while, then said: "...Why is that?"

He Gu rubbed his nose, and said embarrassingly: "I just think that I will never be able to do anything in the future. If I fall in love with a girl, there is really no need to delay her life for nothing. It's better to explain it earlier to save money. In the future, the Empress and Your Majesty will feel sorry for me, and they will marry me again, so that the matchmaker will agree to the request and come to the other family's door to make a marriage proposal, and it will be embarrassing to refuse at that time, so I might as well take this opportunity to tell the whole capital, and it will be all over. .”

He was obviously deceived and wasted his entire life. He would never be able to fall in love with a woman like other men in the future. He and his wife would be on par with each other and have children and grandchildren. However, He Gu was able to speak so calmly, as if With a hint of resentment, as if talking about other people's business.

Pei Zhaoheng: "..."

Of course, He Gu was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

To this day, when he met the Third Highness, he was still angry, sometimes sore and bitter in his heart. It was not a good feeling, and he didn't know how to face it.

But he knew in his heart that the direction of this life was already completely different from that of the previous life, and His Highness the Third Highness was no longer the Third Highness of the previous life.

If he wants to be a salted fish all his life, then the Third Highness is now the golden scale who is doomed not to stay in the pool all his life. Sooner or later, he will jump out one day, and that is in He Gu's heart. It is true that there are some charming thoughts, but the Third Highness is different from him, how could he stay in the palm-sized pond with his own salted fish all his life, eat and sleep, eat and sleep, and don't think about making progress?

...No, even His Highness the Third Highness is not a golden scale at all...

He is a dragon.

The king of a country, how can he play with him about the obsession with Longyang, splitting peaches and breaking sleeves?

...Even if it is really a game, it is destined to be just a game. In the future, His Highness will always have his own wife, and nine times out of ten, there will be countless concubines and concubines to spread branches and leaves for their royal family.

But He Gu asked himself, if he really got involved with the Third Highness, would he be able to bear it?

Tolerate the person one admires to share the bed with others, and to rub their ears and temples together?

Maybe the general in Yan Zhiya's book could bear it, and just look at such a humble person, but He Gu couldn't do it.

He couldn't bear it.

He doesn't care if the dragon is not the dragon or the dragon is broken, but he can't help but care about this.

Either love vigorously and be a couple for the rest of my life, or fuck the hell...

Don't even start.

...But right now, he obviously can only choose the latter, fuck it.Go to Zongshan, wait for him to go to the boundless snow field, spread maids and race horses, wait for him to go outside the customs and blow the cold wind that can blow away all unrealistic fantasies of people...

When he comes back, he will definitely be able to wake up, and only treat His Highness the Third Highness as the lord, and will not worry about it anymore.

He Gu believes that he can let it go.

He managed to think clearly, but found that His Royal Highness hadn't spoken for a long time. He Gu looked up at Pei Zhaoheng a little strangely, but suddenly found that he was also looking down at him.

The eyes of the two met unexpectedly.

These peach blossom eyes seemed to have never changed, just as indifferent and cold as when they first met.

... so beautiful that it makes people's hearts sway.

How can a mortal have such eyes?

He Gu was so dazed for a moment that he almost forgot that just now he was still swearing in his heart that he "will definitely let go". The heart in his chest started beating wildly again.

He Gu thought in a daze:

His Highness the Third is "Sister Yu'er".

But he likes Sister Yu'er so much, he wants to grow old with her, and wants to watch the century-old city of Bianjing with thousands of lights, bright and dark.

"Sister Yu'er" is the Third Highness.

Now that he knows that they are the same person, it has almost become his instinct to feel shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat when he sees this person...

...How could he let it go so easily?

He Gu had repaired the line of defense for an unknown number of days in his heart, and the "city wall" that he thought was almost very strong, just like this, under the eyes of the Third Highness, shattered into powder with a bang.

It is very difficult for people to lie to themselves.

But if he doesn't lie to himself, what can he do?

After living two lifetimes, it was the first time that He Gu truly felt what it was like to have his atrium being pulled and aching.

He was a little embarrassed, and abruptly moved his eyes away, and subconsciously started to escape, not to look at this person again, He Gu took a few breaths, and was about to speak, but suddenly felt that his jaw was caught.

He Gu was stunned.

In this way, his head was turned back again, and he met the indifferent peach blossom eyes of His Highness the Third Highness again.

"you……"

He wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, and he couldn't speak.

His Highness the Third Highness still had that indifferent expression, just looking down at him intently, his slender eyelashes like crow feathers casting a small shadow on the cold white skin.

His Highness asked him: "What are you hiding?"

He Gu took a breath, and said after a long while: "...I didn't hide." "Then look at me."

"...Zihuan really let go?"

"...You really don't mind anymore?"

His Highness the Third Highness didn't say clearly what he let go or what he didn't care about, but both of them knew it well.

He Gu wanted to answer yes, he let it go, or he would always let it go, but when the words came to his lips, they were still stuck in his throat, unable to utter a single word.

There seemed to be a mysterious force in his body, making Master He Xiaohou unable to open his eyes and talk nonsense at this moment.

In Pei Zhaoheng's eyes, his hesitant and hesitant appearance turned into another appearance.

He Gu was racking his brains to think about how to get back the increasingly uncomfortable dialogue and atmosphere, when he suddenly saw the face of the Third Highness zooming in before his eyes——

The next moment, his lips were covered by the cool but soft lips of another person.

He Gu was stunned for a moment, almost unable to believe what happened.

This is His Highness the Third Highness, not "Sister Yu'er".

But He Gu wanted to struggle, but immediately felt that the back of his head was firmly held down by the man's hand——

The strength on his body that was originally stronger than a cow was like a handful of quicksand in his hands at this moment, and he lost his body unconsciously.

dizzy.

Can't move.
