Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

The clear water of the lake was wrinkled by the breeze, causing ripples and ripples to fade away. By the lake, the willows had put away their slender and graceful figures, shed off their green clothes, and put on a pair of green clothes. Yellow and depressed, but still dancing slender willow branches.

By the lake, a gazebo stands quietly on the shore of this green lake.

In the pavilion, a tall and slender figure stood leaning on the railing with his hands behind his back, looking at the green lake with a peaceful expression, and even a hint of a smile on his handsome and resolute face.

The breeze blew up the blue hair on his temples, dancing lightly, and there was even a strand of hair mischievously scattered on his sharp-edged face.The breeze also lifted the hem of his crescent-white long gown, making him look extraordinarily extraordinary, like a god, and people can only look at it from a distance.

A sudden rush of footsteps broke the tranquility and beauty at this time.

Another tall and tall figure appeared in the gazebo.The dark blue long gown, worn on him, outlined his figure extraordinarily tall and vigorous, and also made that face look sassy and sharp.

Hearing footsteps coming from behind, Gu Shaoyuan turned around, raised the corners of his mouth towards Ling Qinglian who was walking into the gazebo, and said with a light smile, "Come on, Qinglian." Then he pointed to the stone table in the gazebo .

The two sat down at the same time. After sitting down, Ling Qinglian looked at him and smiled casually: "Shaoyuan has come to the capital, how can I avoid seeing him? I just didn't expect that this time you changed to See you here, I was thinking about having a drink with you."

"The environment here is beautiful and extremely quiet, isn't it a good place?" Looking around, Gu Shaoyuan raised his eyebrows and said.

"It's a good place, but it's a pity that there is no wine to drink." Ling Qinglian shook her head helplessly and said with a sigh.

Frowning slightly, Gu Shaoyuan put on a surprised look and asked suspiciously: "Qinglian, since when did you become an alcoholic? Why are you always yelling and drinking?"

"What alcoholic?" Glaring at him dissatisfied, Ling Qinglian shook her head and explained in a serious manner, "It depends on the person I drink. Ordinary people, I don't want to drink with him!"

"Then you mean, drinking with me is to save my face?"

"Isn't that?"

"You, you..."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and their hearty laughter filled the entire gazebo, matching with the rustling wind outside the gazebo, it seemed quite harmonious.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ling Qinglian put away the teasing smile on her face, put on a serious expression, looked at Gu Shaoyuan, and said in a low voice: "Recently, a big event happened in the palace."

"Oh?" Raising his eyebrows, Gu Shaoyuan also became serious, and asked inexplicably, "I just left the capital on the day the emperor held a celebration banquet for you. Why did something big happen in just a few days?"

Sighing lightly, Ling Qinglian put on a regretful look, squinted at him, and said, "If you leave the capital one day later, you will naturally know what happened."

"You don't want to be so secretive anymore, you should hurry up and talk about it."

After being urged several times by Gu Shaoyuan, Ling Qinglian cleared her throat, and said in a serious and low voice: "The eldest prince and the third prince were demoted to common people and escorted to Luoyan Island. The emperor ordered that these two people are not allowed to leave Luoyan Island for life. People are not allowed to visit."

"There is such a thing?" With a surprised expression on his face, Gu Shaoyuan said in disbelief: "This old emperor is really heartless. He killed his two sons in one fell swoop. However, for us That being said, it saves a lot of trouble.”

"That's right. This move kills two birds with one stone, it's truly amazing." Ling Qinglian also sighed lightly, and said with a sigh, "If my own brothers are not spared, won't it be more cruel to others?"

"What's going on with this matter? Why are the eldest prince and the third prince suddenly demoted to common people and imprisoned for life?"

After hearing his question, Ling Qinglian cleared her throat, and told Gu Shaoyuan verbatim what had happened in the past few days, including the adultery between Huangfuyan and Mo Yingyu, who identified as Huangfuxi Designing to frame Huangfuyan, Huangfuxi clamored that he had been wronged and framed. In the end, the emperor still imprisoned the two of them in Luoyan Island for life, and gave Mo Yingyu a white silk.

"It turns out that it's like this." Rubbing his chin, Gu Shaoyuan frowned, his face was solemn, and he said in a low voice, "If I had known such a wonderful thing happened, I would not have left the capital."

Couldn't help rolling her eyes, Ling Qinglian said angrily: "What's the use of talking about it now? You still have to figure out a way, what should I do?"

"Is the old emperor also sick?" Without answering the question, Gu Shaoyuan leaned forward slightly, raised his eyebrows and asked.

With a serious and puzzled look on her face, Ling Qinglian nodded, and responded aloud: "Yeah, what's the matter?"

Straightening his back, Gu Shaoyuan suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter was full of excitement and excitement, but it made Ling Qinglian look dazed.

I saw Gu Shaoyuan suddenly slapped his thigh, still smiling happily: "I think, I should go back. The old emperor fell ill, and there must be a bloody storm soon."

Compared to Gu Shaoyuan's excitement, Ling Qinglian's expression was much more serious, and she even murmured with some concerns, "Maybe, there will be a bloodbath."

"Qinglian, you continue to inquire about the news, I have to go back and make arrangements. How can you miss such a good opportunity so easily?" Without noticing Ling Qinglian's strangeness, Gu Shaoyuan continued to speak excitedly, and kept rubbing his face hands.

After a burst of excitement, he seemed to have suddenly remembered something. With his hands on the stone table, he leaned forward, approached Ling Qinglian, and asked in a deep voice, "How is the second miss? I'm leaving the capital soon, I guess I won't be back in a short time, I want to see her."

There was a moment of daze, Ling Qinglian frowned slightly, and there was a trace of complicated expression in her deep eyes, but in the end he still did not refuse: "In that case, then Shaoyuan will go to sit in the prime minister's mansion." sit down."

"It's better to obey than to be respectful." Gu Shaoyuan said with a smile, arching his hands towards him.

As soon as the words were finished, the two stood up and walked out of the pavilion at the same time, heading straight for the Prime Minister's Mansion.

***

All the way to the prime minister's mansion, the two of them just came to the backyard when they saw Ling Ruoyao walking out in a hurry.

At this time, she was frowning, with a worried and serious expression on her face, and she was walking forward quickly, appearing very nervous and hasty.

The two quickened their pace and came to her. Ling Qinglian called out to her and asked doubtfully, "Where is Ruoyao going? What happened?"

Seeing Ling Qinglian and Gu Shaoyuan, Ling Ruoyao stopped, with a slightly embarrassed look on her face, and her steps stopped.

After laughing twice, she said with a smile: "I just want to go out for a walk. Mr. Gu, long time no see." As she spoke, she nodded slightly to Gu Shaoyuan as a greeting.

Gu Shaoyuan also nodded towards her, greeted her and said, "Yeah, it's been a long time since I saw you, Second Miss, are you all right?"

"Thank you Mr. Gu for your concern, I'm fine." With a calm expression on his face, Ling Ruoyao continued to exchange pleasantries with Gu Shaoyuan, but in his heart was somewhat anxious, and wanted to get rid of the two of them quickly.

Seeing her panic and anxiety, he could also guess where she was going, but Gu Shaoyuan didn't seem to notice, and continued to chat with her.

"What is Second Miss thinking?" Seeing that she was absent-minded, Gu Shaoyuan frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Second Miss, is something on your mind?"

"That's right, Ruoyao." Ling Qinglian hastily echoed, "What are you thinking? Shao Yuan talks to you, but you don't respond."

Suddenly regaining her senses, Ling Ruoyao finally realized that she was a little distracted when she was talking to him just now.It's really because someone from the Fourth Prince's Mansion told her just now that Huangfu Yi wanted to see her and told her to go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion immediately.

The person who came to deliver the message was very nervous and anxious, as if something serious had happened, which made her nervous too.

So, she hurried towards the Fourth Prince's Mansion, but she didn't want to, before she walked out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she ran into these two people and was stopped by them.

She didn't know why Huangfu Yi was looking for her, but when she thought of the nervous and anxious appearance of the servant who came to deliver the message, she was also extremely nervous and worried in her heart.

But the question before her at this time is how to get rid of these two people?She doesn't have that much time to spend with them like this.

Stay here for a second longer, and she will be even more nervous.

But at this moment, a clear and melodious voice full of tenderness suddenly rang out, and then, a beautiful figure broke into the sight of the three of them.

"Isn't this Mr. Gu?" Ling Ruoyun suppressed the eager smile on the corner of her mouth, and put on a generous look, "Mr. Gu, long time no see."

When she came to Gu Shaoyuan, she bowed slightly and greeted him.

The sudden appearance of Ling Ruoyun made all three of them stunned, but each had different feelings and thoughts in their hearts.

There has never been a moment, like this moment, when Ling Ruoyao was so grateful to Ling Ruoyun. Ling Ruoyun was like a savior to her, and she only regretted that she hadn't appeared earlier.

It was obvious that Ling Ruoyao was careless and even wanted to escape, Gu Shaoyuan looked at Ling Ruoyun with a trace of alienation and coldness.

If it wasn't for her sudden appearance, Ling Ruoyao would have no chance to leave, and he didn't come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see her.

However, due to the situation at this time and his status, Gu Shaoyuan remained patient and nodded to Ling Ruoyun: "Miss, long time no see."

With excitement in her heart, Ling Ruoyun couldn't help but hooked her lips, and there was an elegant and generous smile on her lips, but she still couldn't restrain the excitement in her heart: "How is Mr. Gu?"

"Thank you for your concern, miss, everything is fine for Gu."

Seeing the polite greetings between the two, Ling Ruoyao became impatient again, thinking to herself, Ling Ruoyun's admiration for Gu Shaoyuan can be seen at a glance by anyone with a discerning eye, and her appearance at this moment just gave her a way to leave chance?Presumably Ling Ruoyun also hoped that she would leave quickly.Cool green water.

Speaking of which, she has been married and divorced for so long, Ling Ruoyun is still in her boudoir.Her lifelong event should also be on the agenda.

Thinking of this, she smiled at the three of them and said, "I still have something to go out, so I won't accompany you." Then, she turned her head to look at Ling Ruoyun, and blinked at her, "Sister, Gu It's rare for the young master to come here once, so you can't neglect the guests."

After being dazed for a moment, Ling Ruoyun understood the meaning of what she said, and her mood was a little complicated, but she put on a displeasure look on her face, squinted at her, and said angrily: "Even if If Yao doesn't remind me, I won't forget it either. You'd better hurry up and do your business."

"In that case, I'll take my leave first." As she spoke, she nodded slightly towards the three of them again, and hurriedly walked away without waiting for Gu Shaoyuan to say anything.

"Second Miss—"

"Shaoyuan." Before Gu Shaoyuan could finish his words of persuasion, Ling Qinglian interrupted him all of a sudden, "Why don't you let Ruoyun walk with you?"

At this moment, he actually didn't want Gu Shaoyuan to ask Ling Ruoyao to keep Ling Ruoyao out of his selfishness. Even if Ling Ruoyao went to find Huangfuyi, it would be better than watching them two with his own eyes and chatting happily.

And his proposal was undoubtedly very appetizing to Ling Ruoyun, she quickly cast a grateful look at him, and secretly sighed in her heart, it really is her brother who treats her best.

Due to Ling Qinglian's face, despite his reluctance, Gu Shaoyuan nodded and agreed: "In that case, please trouble the eldest lady."

"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome at all." Ling Ruoyun hurriedly waved her hand, but she was already secretly happy in her heart. .

"Then, I'll excuse you first." Ling Qinglian said, turning her gaze to Ling Ruoyun, "Ruoyun, I wish I could accompany Shaoyuan for a walk."

"Brother, don't worry." Ling Ruoyun nodded without hesitation, and said firmly.

After a few more simple exhortations, Ling Qinglian left first to go about her own business, leaving only Gu Shaoyuan and Ling Ruoyun, eye to eye.

After being silent for a little bit, Ling Ruoyun turned her head, looked at the maid who was following her, and sent the maid away, so, only the two of them were left alone to get along.

Feeling a little nervous and agitated, she slightly raised her head to look at him, and when she looked into his deep eyes, she only felt her heart beat faster and beat non-stop.

Resisting the excitement in her heart, she swallowed quietly, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Gu, please." As she spoke, she made a gesture of asking.

The two walked forward in silence, and neither of them spoke aloud. For a while, the atmosphere seemed a little silent.

Quietly turning her head to look at him, looking at his perfect side face, Ling Ruoyun felt that she could hardly move her eyes away.

The bright sunlight sprinkled on his body, seeming to coat him with a layer of golden light, making him look like a dream, so unreal.

On the beautiful face, two blushes rose unconsciously, and the temperature was also rising slowly. Even she herself could feel the temperature rising on the pirated face.

Quickly looking away, she lowered her head, but the corners of her mouth raised slightly upwards uncontrollably, revealing a shyness of a girl.

After being silent for a while, she said softly: "Young Master Gu just came to the capital, how long do you plan to stay? Do you plan to live in the mansion, or where?"

With his hands behind his back, Gu Shaoyuan stared at the front with a calm expression, and walked forward leisurely, but Ying Ting's brows were slightly frowned, and he said in a deep voice: "I will leave the capital today. In a short time, maybe not Will come back again."

Upon hearing his words, Ling Ruoyun immediately panicked, and hurriedly raised her head to look at him, without thinking too much, she asked aloud, "Where are you going? Will you come to the capital in the future, to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"I've been away from home for so long, it's time to go back and have a look." Gu Shaoyuan slightly raised his lips, sighed and said, "I don't know if my parents at home are okay? I want to stay with my elders more when I go back this time. As for whether he will come to the capital, it is uncertain now."

"I'll go back with you."

Ling Ruoyun's sudden words startled Gu Shaoyuan so much that he almost choked on his own saliva.The sharp-edged face was flushed red, and he was so frightened that he coughed desperately. While coughing, he looked at her in disbelief.

This woman's words are really not surprising, and she actually offered to go home with him?Does she know what she means?It will cause others to misunderstand.

Seeing his reaction so fiercely, Ling Ruoyun gradually felt a little bit disappointed, but she didn't regret it.

He was about to leave the capital, and it was uncertain whether he would have a chance to see her again in the future.If she didn't say everything she wanted to say today, she would regret it.

So, she took a deep breath, put on a dignified look, raised her chin, met Gu Shaoyuan's deep gaze, and said firmly: "Mr. Gu, I like you. I know a woman offered to follow you." It's inappropriate for a man to go home, but I don't want to see Mr. Gu again from now on."

Her sudden confession made Gu Shaoyuan feel a little at a loss.Although he could vaguely feel her feelings for him, he couldn't believe it and didn't care about it, so he was so surprised at this time.

But after being surprised, he also calmed down, looked at her, and said in a low voice but firmly: "I'm sorry Miss, I can't accept your feelings. I already have someone else in my heart, and I can't take you with me." go home."

A sad smile appeared on her lips, and Ling Ruoyun smiled bitterly.

And why didn't she know that he already had someone in his heart, but he was just deceiving himself and others all the time.

But at least, she said what was in her heart, and she won't feel regretful, even if she was rejected by him.
