Chapter 45
The old emperor bought one and got one free, and gave Shangguan Yunwan to Gao Qixun, and at the same time asked him to marry Lu Wanwan, the prime minister's daughter.

The incident happened so suddenly, Gao Qixun didn't react for a while, and stared at the emperor with wide eyes. Seeing the other party's firm attitude, he turned his head and looked around again.

After seeing Shangguan Yunwan bursting into tears, she stared at Gao Qiji bewilderedly.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly said: "Father, the miracle is already fifteen, why don't you let him marry Shangguan Yunwan!"

Shangguan Yunwan was overjoyed, while Gao Qiji had Wannian's cold face without any emotion.

"Nonsense, I have made my own arrangements for the wonderful marriage, and I have made up my mind, so don't discuss this matter again!"

The sentence "My will has been decided" also cut off all of Gao Qixun's hopes and thoughts.

He glanced at Li Siqi who was standing not far from the queen mother, with heartache, regret and bewilderment in his eyes.

In the end, all emotions turned into indifference, hands fell to the ground, clenched into fists, and kowtowed hard.

The usually gentle voice does not have a trace of warmth, "My son obeys the order."

Shangguan Yunwan's face was also pale, and she knelt beside Gao Qixun, "Shangguan Yunwan thanked the Lord for your kindness."

Anyone with a heart can tell at a glance that Shangguan Yunwan's favorite is Gao Qiji, but she is a married princess, so she has no choice at all.

According to the original plan, she should have been the concubine of the old emperor who was over fifty years old.

To be able to marry the young prince now is considered a surprise in the eyes of others.

Gao Qiyuan in the seat had been peeking at Shen Boyu, but since his elder brother was bestowed a marriage, he also began to feel like sitting on pins and needles.

Born in the royal family, since enjoying the glory and wealth brought by status and power, one has to endure the royal family's involuntary control.

Whether it was Shangguan Yunwan and Gao Qixun in front of her, or herself and Gao Qiji, marriage would only be a political victim.

While Gao Qiyuan felt sorry for him, he also felt a deep sense of self-blame in his heart. If he hadn't messed around, at least the emperor wouldn't be forced to marry Lu Wanwan.

After all, I was too self-willed and missed the happiness of others.

Although Li Siqi has read many novels, movies and TV dramas, she knows that marriage in ancient times was the order of her parents. According to the matchmaker, even a prince or princess has little privilege in this regard.

But now that the living example happened in front of her eyes, it was still hard for her to accept it, and the pain was so painful that she couldn't restrain herself.

She bit her lips tightly and held her hands. She didn't even notice that her long nails dug into her flesh. She couldn't hear or see clearly what happened next.

Only vaguely hearing that an envoy offered a panacea that can prolong life, the emperor smiled again, and the atmosphere was no longer so dull and depressing.

Finally, when the queen mother said she was tired and wanted to go back to rest, Li Siqi was able to escape from this eerie banquet.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother was just tired, and there was no other serious problem. Li Siqi breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go back to her room.

Kyoto in June is very hot and stuffy. I don't know whether it's the stuffy weather that makes Li Siqi feel depressed, or whether the depressed mood makes the weather more stuffy.

As he walked anxiously and anxiously with his hands as a fan, a cold voice came from behind, "I'm so afraid of the heat, why don't you walk faster!"

Li Siqi looked back, it turned out to be Gao Qiji, he walked quickly, and because of his height and long legs, one step could reach Li Siqi's two steps.

Li Siqi was startled, forgot to salute, and blurted out: "The banquet is not over yet, why did the prince come out?"

Gao Qiji didn't care about it, he still said sarcastically: "It's boring."

Li Siqi rolled her eyes secretly, probably Gao Qiji was the only one in the entire Qi Kingdom who would bluntly call the birthday feast of the current Holy Majesty boring.

He dared to say that, but Li Siqi didn't dare to respond.

I was silently thinking about how to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, and then I heard him ask without thinking: "Do you really like Brother Huang?"

Li Siqi was about to deny it, but Gao Qixun said again: "Forget it, since you and I are sad people, I will take you somewhere!"

Li Siqi was puzzled, and then realized that she had learned an amazing secret!

Gao Qiji thought that she liked Gao Qixun, and Gao Qixun was given a marriage, which made her sad.

So why is Gao Qiji sad, because of Shangguan Yunwan?At the banquet before, both of them knew the song "Ripples of Life".

She dances, he plays the flute, the qin and the zither harmonize, the coordination is perfect, so it can be inferred that he and Shangguan Yunwan must be in love with each other.

If lovers cannot get married, they are naturally sad!
Coming to this inference, Li Siqi secretly admired herself, and pulled out a forced smile. Just as she was about to refuse, Gao Qiji grabbed her hand.

Stepping up her long legs and walking away, Li Siqi couldn't break free from his hand even with great strength, so she had to trot all the way to keep up.

They were led by Gao Qiji and ran in front of a towering tree in the Imperial Garden, where they stopped galloping.

The reason why it is called a big tree is because Li Siqi can't name this tree.

The second reason is that the tree is old at first glance, with luxuriant branches and thick branches, and it takes two people to embrace it to surround it.

Gao Qiji let go of Li Siqi's hand, raised his hand to stroke the wrinkled tree trunk, and murmured: "Today is the anniversary of the nanny's death."

Li Siqi didn't know how to respond for a while, so she had to remain silent.

Suddenly remembered the time when he was struck by thunder in Baicao Mountain, Gao Qiji had mentioned to her that the nanny who loved him the most was struck to death by lightning.

She didn't expect it to be here, let alone the emperor's birthday would be her death day.

well!Everyone in the world is like this, only caring about the carnival in front of them, the man has passed away, and the tea is cold, how many people still remember the existence of that person?

An insignificant little nanny, I am afraid that her name has never been known, and her death will not cause ripples in the hearts of many people.

But so many years have passed, Gao Qiji has always remembered her and cherished her, which shows that Gao Qiji is not as cold as he appears on the surface.

Seeing the nostalgia and pity in his eyes, Li Siqi's anger and unhappiness at his rude behavior just now dissipated.

Instead, she inexplicably felt a little distressed for him, and walked to him involuntarily.But she was really not good at comforting others, so she just stroked his back lightly and stayed silent with him.

After a while, Li Siqi felt that being too sad would be bad for her health, so she changed the subject and said, "Shangguan Yunwan is your fan girl!"

Gao Qiji turned his head sideways, and asked puzzledly, "Is the fan girl a cousin?"

Li Siqi accidentally popped out a modern vocabulary again, stroked her hair in embarrassment, and corrected: "It means that my cousin likes you."

In ancient times, it was not normal for cousins, cousins, and concubines to be interested, right?
Gao Qiji frowned again, "Princess Xia and my concubine mother are not direct siblings, she is not my cousin."

"Okay, okay, you have the final say!" Mrs. Li Siqi said a lot, and because he was in a bad mood today, she had to give in to him.

"I don't like her!" Gao Qiji sullenly.

Li Siqi also took the opportunity to explain, "I don't like the First Prince either, please don't mess with the mandarin ducks!" She also didn't know why she had to explain to him.

Gao Qiji sneered, and laughed, "Then why did you inquire about his preferences?"

There was a black line on Li Siqi's forehead, and she slandered: "I was casting a wide net to catch fish selectively. In order to avoid everyone's suspicion of me, I asked Concubine Kang, so I asked about him by the way, so good?"

Fu forehead sighed, Li Siqi said helplessly: "I want to find out some things, so I have to do it."

Gao Qiji snorted, with a trace of interest on his face, he asked, "What's the matter?"
