Chapter 366 Rejection, what reason do you need?
"She has suffered so much since she was a child, and she is calmer than you, and she is more calm than you, and she is more able to withstand trials than you."

Concubine Shu straightened her expression and said slowly: "You were so provocative just now, not only did she not get angry, but a single word made you mess up, didn't it?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Gu Yuci could only utter one word: "Yes..."

"And you are too strong, you care too much about winning or losing, and you can't hold your breath." Concubine Shu sighed in a low voice, "Actually, she is more suitable to survive in this harem than you."

Gu Yuci remained silent.

Concubine Shu tapped her forehead and said: "I watched you grow up. In terms of love, you are closer than her. So I will not hide some things from you. You want to be the prince's woman. I will naturally help you, but it is absolutely impossible for you to defeat her and take the position of Crown Princess."

Gu Yuci hastily defended: "When did I say I wanted to be a princess?"

Concubine Shu smiled and said: "You are so competitive, you really live in the East Palace, can you bear being inferior?"

This is not true...

But Gu Yuci didn't want to admit it for a moment: "I didn't!"

Concubine Shu didn't bother to entangle her in this kind of matter, she just said: "If you really want to get close to the prince, restrain your temper now, don't try to win or lose as soon as you see her. She doesn't want to haggle with you now If she really wants to argue with you and blow the pillow wind in front of the prince, you will have no hope at all!"

Gu Yuci was startled: "Is she that powerful?"

In the spacious carriage, the rumored "powerful" princess was lying on the lap of His Highness the Crown Prince, squinting her eyes coquettishly and lazily, not wanting to say a word.

His Royal Highness raised her sleeves, put his palms in through the cuffs, squeezed her hands, and touched her face. Seeing that they were all warm, he asked with a smile, "Is everything arranged?"

"It's all good."

Li Xuanye heard the strangeness in her tone, and asked, "What did Concubine Shu say to you?"

"Almost everything that needs to be said has been said." Chariots and horses, ceremonial guards, dresses, utensils, dishes, servants... Zhao Xiwei repeated what Concubine Shu taught him verbatim.

He smiled slightly, and kissed her hair: "We Wei'er are so smart! We have memorized so many things!"

"Hmm..." She responded vaguely.

Li Xuanye frowned.

Every time she enters the palace, something happens to her, so it won't happen again, right?

He pinched her chin, causing her to look up at him, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is there something you're hiding from me?"

Zhao Xiwei looked at his eyebrows and eyes, and Gu Yuci's words echoed in his mind again.

"After His Royal Highness rescued me, all the palace servants on duty in the imperial garden rushed over. Seeing that we were both drenched, we were all dumbfounded with fright..."

The hero saves the beauty, in fact, she doesn't really mind...

But the scene of the lonely man and widow with all the wet clothes reappeared in front of her eyes again and again, and she felt a little depressed in her heart.

"I met Gu Yuci at Concubine Shu's place just now..." Zhao Xi raised his face slightly, his eyes fell into his eyes, "Did Your Highness have a good relationship with Cousin Aci before?"

"It's average." Li Xuanye said casually: "In the past, Emperor Father trusted Gu Yong the most, so she often came to play in the palace..." Suddenly he paused: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

In general, that is better than it is now.

Zhao Xiwei felt even more depressed.

She stretched out her finger and caressed his Adam's apple: "I know about Gu Yuci's falling into the water."

"What fell into the water?" Li Xuanye raised his eyebrows, and he was stunned for a moment before he realized: "Are you unhappy because of this?"

Zhao Xiwei only felt that he was not only bored, but also a little sour.

She snorted: "Your Highness is Cousin Ah Ci's lifesaver!"

Li Xuanye couldn't laugh or cry, pinched the tip of her nose: "I was only 14 years old at that time, and I didn't understand anything."

The hand rubbing against his Adam's apple stopped, and she said dissatisfiedly: "Then what do you want to know?"

Li Xuanye squeezed her fingers and looked at her with a smile: "What do you know?"

She pretended not to know: "I don't understand what His Highness said, I don't understand what I don't understand!"

"..."

Such a twisted sentence does not bother His Highness the Crown Prince: "The one that Wei'er doesn't understand is the one that I don't understand."

"Li Xuanye!" She frowned and yelled, her almond eyes filled with grievances.

"Okay, okay... I was wrong, I was wrong..." His Royal Highness immediately surrendered, and hurriedly explained in a good voice: "Actually, I really didn't understand anything at that time. One is that the schoolwork is heavy, and more than a dozen teachers Surrounding me, I have to get up before dawn every day, besides practicing martial arts, I also study and deal with government affairs, and I have to spend a little time with Lingxi, how can I have time to think about what I have?"

Zhao Xiwei looked puzzled: "What about the second one?"

Li Xuanye smiled slightly, held her face in his hands, and said, "The second is that you are young and ignorant!"

Zhao Xiwei broke the casserole and asked the end: "What do you not understand?"

"What do you think?" Li Xuanye looked at her with a half-smile, "If Wei'er was the one who fell into the water, I might have understood it long ago!"

In fact, these words were not all teasing her, the fate between them really started when she fell into the water.It's just that he took advantage that time, and she was unconscious, so he couldn't bring it up again.

Zhao Xi blushed slightly and pushed him.

Seeing that he had finally passed the test, Li Xuanye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said while the iron was hot: "You don't have to worry about it, it's all happened when I was a child! Later, when I was 15 years old, I demoted Gu Yong to Qianzhou , I have never had any contact with her again!"

This mention made her have another question: "Is it because of her that you demoted Gu Yong?"

Li Xuanye was startled.

With this momentary expression, there was a layer of mist in her clear eyes.

Li Xuanye hurriedly explained: "It's not what you think!"

She looked at him for a moment.

Li Xuanye thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Actually, it's okay to tell you! At that time, we were all young, and she often went to the palace. I was quite familiar with her, and that's why I went into the water to save her... ..."

He suppressed his smile, his face darkened: "Who would have thought that Gu Yong would use her to plot against me later, and wanted to use her to control me!"

"So you demoted Gu Yong?"

"That's right." He lazily leaned against the wall of the carriage, and said as a matter of course, "If I don't pull him down, I will be a puppet in his hands now!"

"So is this also the reason why you distanced yourself from Gu Yuci?"

Li Xuanye thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes."

"Then does she know?"

He gave her a strange look: "?"

Zhao Xiwei said: "I mean, does she know the reason why His Highness rejected her?"

Li Xuanye smiled meaninglessly: "It's a rejection anyway, what reason do you need?"

"It's different." Zhao Xiwei looked serious, "If there is a reason, if you don't feel so sad, you won't leave any knots in your heart."

Li Xuanye snorted coldly: "Gu Yong is her own father, how could she not know about Gu Yong's ambition? Do you still need me to say it?"

"..."

Zhao Xiwei wanted to say, that's not necessarily the case, didn't I also discover my own father's design?
****
His Royal Highness: Do you need a reason to reject a woman?unnecessary!
(PS. I really hate the kind of man who does everything possible to find a reason to keep fish)
