I became my ex-husband's cat after rebirth

◎"He's afraid that... he would like to give up this blessing to others."◎

"...So, in the end, he agreed?"

"No." He Liansheng said lazily, "How is it possible?"

"He only sleeps for an hour a day and won't ask me for help." He said, "I forced him."

When he said this, he was feeding the fish by the pond in Gu Mansion.

The left hand is fish food, and the right hand is holding a little girl in a pink bun.

The latter looked at his movements with some curiosity. Seeing this, he hooked the corners of his mouth, bent down, and handed her the fish food in his hand.

The little girl took it in a daze.

"Throw it down." He Liansheng said.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, took out a few grains of fish food from it, and threw it down carefully.

There was a sudden sound of water, and koi with orange stripes on a white background flocked here happily, making churning waves.

The little girl's eyes lit up instantly.

He Lianheng watched from the side, and his heart softened.

"Unfortunately," he said.

"What's the pity?" He Liansheng curled his lips, "Born into such a family, well-clothed and well-fed, the family members are still willing to take care of it."

He said calmly, "North of Changluo, there are still people who can't afford to eat and sell their sons and daughters."

He Lianheng: "..."

He looked at the person in front of him, and then at the little girl holding the corner of his clothes tightly, with a face of trust and dependence. He really didn't understand why a person with such a vicious mouth would attract the little girl so much.

Not only Gu Tingyue, but the princesses in the palace also love to run to Xuanhe Palace on weekdays.

"Gu Yuan is really so relieved to bring someone to you?"

"That's what you said." He Liansheng glanced at him, "Am I some kind of scourge?"

He paused, remembered the unfinished topic just now, and said casually:

"And she clings to me."

This is the main reason why Gu Yuan let him stay.

Although He Lianjin is not a very good person, her judgment on certain things is indeed extremely accurate.

It's just He Liansheng's bad taste to use royal airs to suppress Gu Yuan. He likes to see the other party frowning, but he can't refuse him.

But what really swayed Gu Yuan was Gu Tingyue's own attitude.

That day, the Gu family kept He Liansheng for dinner.

During the meal, the always taciturn little girl took the initiative to sit beside He Liansheng for the first time.

Not to mention Gu Yuan, even Wu Lanxian showed surprise in his eyes.

After the meal, when He Liansheng asked to stay, Gu Yuan was speechless.

only……

Still didn't live in a house.

He Liansheng thought with some regret.

He has never tasted liking, this is the first time he has put so much effort into a person.

He thought that the initial interest would gradually fade away, but as time passed, he found that he seemed to be...

He paid more and more attention to Gu Yuan.

Is this what you like?

He slowly chewed on this word that he was very conflicted with before, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart.

At this moment, He Lianheng's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Hey." He said, "Is that Gu Yuan's sworn brother?"

He raised his head and saw the slender young man standing by the rockery not far away and looking at him.

When he first heard that Gu Yuan had a foster brother, He Liansheng didn't take it seriously, he only put him together with Gu Tingyue, and they were only Gu Yuan's younger siblings.

But these days, he discovered that this thin and introverted young master seemed to be...

Very hostile to him.

Of course, there are quite a few people in the Gu residence who are hostile to him.

They are all servants of the family, and it is their duty to protect the master.For these, He Liansheng just pretended not to know.

But this Liu Li gave him a very different feeling.

He couldn't tell the subtlety for a while, so he had to put people aside.

But he found that Liu Li seemed to pay special attention to him when he didn't bother Liu Li.

Just like now.

"Hey, did you bully my brother or something?" He Lianheng was still muttering, "Why do I feel that people look at you so resentfully?"

"roll."

He Liansheng cursed with a smile, temporarily handed over the little girl to He Lianheng's care, and walked forward by himself.

"His Royal Highness Prince Yu."

The other party also knew that he couldn't hide, so he lowered his eyes and saluted.

"Why are you here alone." He Liansheng said, "Didn't the teacher come today?"

After all, it is Gu Yuan's younger brother. He tried to make an image of an elder brother, but unfortunately he really didn't have the qualifications, and what he said didn't seem to be concerned, but rather mocking.

After finishing speaking, He Liansheng saw Liu Li pursed his lips.

He was silent for a moment and gave up.

"Has Gu Yuan gone out?" He asked.

He was bored.

Although Gu Yuan's three sentences are always respectful, He Liansheng always finds it interesting to talk to him.

"Brother is studying in the study." Liu Li whispered.

He Liansheng replied: "Okay, I'll go find him."

Liu Li suddenly blocked his way.

He Liansheng stopped and raised his eyebrows, thinking it was quite interesting.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Liu Li bit her lip.

He had a rather frail temperament, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and looked quite pitiful.

He Liansheng looked at it, remembering how much Gu Yuan loved this foster brother, and suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Shouldn't he be pretending to be weak?

What if Gu Yuan followed suit?

He was still thinking aimlessly here, while Liu Li had already opened his mouth on the other side.

As if he had made up his mind, he raised his eyes:

"Your Highness, when are you going to let my elder brother go?"

He Liansheng was still thinking about how to pretend to be weak and natural, and said absently:

"what?"

"You clearly know that brother doesn't like you!" Liu Li said anxiously, "You and him only met once, and the twisted melon is not sweet. Your Highness, you obviously have so many choices, why are you pestering my brother? Let it go?"

After these words, He Liansheng finally came back to his senses.

He looked at Liu Li and raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised.

Gu Yuan told him that his younger brother was reserved and shy.

From this point of view, it seems that it is not entirely true?

After a while, he said, "Yes."

"So," he said, "what does this have to do with you?"

Liu Li looked at him in disbelief.

He Liansheng was very calm.

He is willing to patiently explain to Gu Yuan, because that is the person he likes, and he is happy.

As for what others think...

What's the matter with him?

"Go back and study hard." He said lazily.

After all, I have to turn around.

Liu Li clenched his teeth behind him, and suddenly said: "You don't really like brother at all."

He Liansheng stopped in his tracks.

He began to think about whether he had acted too good-tempered in the Gu residence.

"If you really like him, you should know that in two months' time, he should have been named on the gold list. Because of you, his preparation for so many years was all in vain!"

He Liansheng was startled.

"Your Highness, don't you know?" Liu Li clenched his palms tightly and stared at him firmly, "According to the rules, if brother married His Highness, he would not be able to enter the court as an official, nor could he take part in the imperial examinations, but even so, Ah Brother has never given up, and has been preparing for the next month's test..."

"With his talent, those people are no match for him at all. He has been praised by the Holy Master himself, and he is the number one scholar!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

"Oh, the gate of the palace is almost locked, why are you still outside, I told you, the Holy Majesty just finished a discussion, tired, no one sees!"

He Liansheng stopped in his tracks.

The sky is already dark, and there are faint clouds.

He stood at the gate of the hall, expressionless, looking at Sang Gui anxiously in front of him with a pair of different pupils, and said softly:

"Then I'll come tomorrow."

Sang Gui hesitated to speak.

After a while, he sighed: "If your Highness is still concerned about Mr. Gu's qualifications for the exam, then..."

"No more."

He Liansheng suddenly raised his eyes.

"The imperial examination is a rule handed down from our ancestors." Sang Gui looked at him and persuaded softly, "Being able to be a relative of the emperor is already a blessing he has cultivated for several generations. Your Majesty is in a bad mood recently. You can Don't make him angry again."

Royal relatives...

He Liansheng chewed these four words, hooked the corner of his mouth, but there was no expression on his face, and said softly:

"He's afraid... he would like to give up this blessing to others."

"But." He took a deep breath, "but..."

"He has the talent of champion."

and……

Although He Liansheng has never taken the imperial examination, he knows a thing or two.

For this exam, Gu Yuan,

It must have been prepared for a long, long time.

How many people study hard in the cold window, in order to obtain fame and get ahead.

And Gu Yuan...

He must have bigger ambitions.

"Back then, Master Gu knelt here." Sang Gui said softly, "The Holy One gave him a chance to choose."

He Liansheng raised his eyes: "...No."

"Yes." Sang Gui smiled, "If you don't want to, there are many ways. Your Majesty is sympathetic to your subjects. If you really don't want to, how can you persecute him?"

Just when there was a thunderstorm in the sky, he comforted, "Your Highness, you go back first, it looks like it's going to rain soon..."

Before the words finished, He Liansheng suddenly took a step back and knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, why are you bothering?" Sang Gui sighed.

"This is what I owe him."

Helian Sheng smiled.

"Eunuch, please go in and report, if Emperor Father still doesn't want to see me..."

"I'll kneel until he wants to see me."
