Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 435
Shen Xiao's body has fully recovered. He had assigned tasks to the lieutenants before. He originally planned to go for inspection after the Lantern Festival, but was delayed by his health.

Together with Gu Sheng, the two circled around the entire border city.

Regardless of whether it is an open line or a secret whistle, they have been checked. If they are unqualified, they will directly order the deputy general in charge to rearrange them.

As the evening approached, the two headed back to the General's Mansion together.

Sitting on the horse, Shen Xiao turned his head and looked at Gu Sheng beside him, he hesitated to speak.

It has been some time since he knew his intentions, and he felt that he should find an opportunity to explain his intentions to Gu Sheng.

Originally, I wanted to talk about it on the day of the Lantern Festival, so I chose the roof. After all, there are few people there. Who would have thought that so many things would happen afterwards.

Gu Sheng could feel the gaze coming from her side, she was riding the horse silently, feeling apprehensive in her heart.

Earlier, when Shen Xiao's injury improved, Gu Sheng went to Zhishu and Zhihua's yard to reprimand them.

Zhihua didn't dare to say anything, but Zhishu looked at Gu Sheng and said a lot.

Both she and Zhihua felt that Shen Xiao was a good person, and they could also see his affection for his master.

The most important thing is that the two of them can feel that their master is not indifferent at all, she is also intrigued.

Because of this, the two have been trying to match each other. They hope that after the master leaves the palace, he can still find happiness.

Zhishu said a lot, and Gu Sheng listened in his heart. Although she didn't say anything at the time, after returning to her yard, she carefully recalled her various reactions and true feelings in those days.

She found that she really had a different feeling for Shen Xiao.

In the past, she never followed anyone with her eyes, and she never felt that any man was good-looking or pleasing to the eye.

In the palace before, she often had the opportunity to get in touch with the emperor. At that time, she never felt warm-hearted, because she always regarded the emperor as her brother and confidant.

But when facing Shen Xiao, there are some phenomena that never happened in the past. Now, she will follow his figure, feel that he is good-looking, and feel warm-hearted when getting along with him.

All these signs probably mean that after living for so many years, she has begun to fall in love with a man, and that man is Shen Xiao.

Recently, when the two were getting along, there was always some ambiguity. Gu Sheng felt that being with Shen Xiao was actually quite good.

It's just that she won't take the initiative to speak up about this kind of thing. When Shen Xiao speaks up is up to him.

"Counselor Gu, shall we eat outside the mansion?" Seeing that he was going back to the general's mansion, before Shen Xiao could speak, he was a little anxious and subconsciously said.

"Success, then eat outside the mansion." Gu Sheng responded, and the two turned their horses and walked towards the restaurant in the city.

Finding a private room, the two of them went upstairs and entered the private room. After ordering food and wine, they were relatively silent for a while.

Gu Sheng waited for Shen Xiao to speak, but Shen Xiao didn't know how to speak, he thought, maybe he would have the courage to drink some wine later.

This kind of feeling made him feel a little frustrated. It was the first time he needed to use alcohol to boost his courage when he grew up so big.

Gu Sheng sat across from him, looking at his current appearance, she felt funny in her heart, she could vaguely feel that what Shen Xiao wanted to tell her was probably about the relationship between the two of them, but he was a little afraid to say it.

The wine and dishes were served quickly, and after Shen Xiao asked Gu Sheng what he meant, he poured wine for the two of them.

Before taking a bite of the food, Shen Xiao drank three glasses of wine first. Seeing Gu Sheng staring at him, he felt a little embarrassed, "Well, I'm a little thirsty."

"There's water here, don't drink it so fast." Gu Sheng poured him a glass of water and handed it to him. She understood what he was doing, but she didn't expose it.

The two were eating food and drinking while chatting casually. Shen Xiao's capacity for alcohol was not bad, perhaps because of nervousness, he was a little tipsy after a few glasses of wine.

"Gu Sheng, what do you think... what do you think of me?" Shen Xiao took a few deep breaths, looked at Gu Sheng, and asked.

"Very good." Gu Sheng understood that he was going to use the strength of alcohol to start, so he said calmly.

"It's great. How about being a husband for someone else?" Shen Xiao was obviously not satisfied with Gu Sheng's answer.

"That depends on who will be the husband." Continuing to respond, Gu Sheng glanced at Shen Xiao, a little surprised, unexpectedly, he was a little drunk.

"If it's... What if it's for you?" Holding his wine glass, he moved to Gu Sheng's side, and Shen Xiao continued to ask.

"Give it to me? You should know my identity in the past, and you should also know that I'm dressed in men's clothes now, so you won't be afraid that others will say that you have broken your sleeves?" Before, the steward had misunderstood it.

"Don't be afraid, I don't really have broken sleeves. You are willing to dress up as a man for the convenience of being in the military camp. As for your past identity, I know that you used to be a queen, so sometimes, I don't feel at ease, and you don't even want to do it." Empress, I'm afraid you might even look down on me."

After drinking all the wine in the glass, Shen Xiao lowered his head, as if he was very distressed.

Because he was a little drunk, Gu Sheng picked up water and poured it into Shen Xiao's wine glass.

"I don't want to be a queen because I don't have an affair with the emperor, and it has nothing to do with whether I have a crush on you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Xiao immediately raised his head and looked at her eyes, which seemed to be shining. This appearance made Gu Sheng very interesting.

"There is something that I've kept in my heart for a long time. Gu Sheng, if you think I'm okay, would you marry me?" Clearing his throat, Shen Xiao looked a little nervous.

Originally, what he wanted to say was whether Gu Sheng would like to be with him, get along with him first, and then marry him if he felt that he was suitable, but he didn't expect that when he said it, he directly omitted the first sentence and said the last sentence One sentence.

After he finished speaking, he was a little dumbfounded, but he couldn't swallow what he said, so he could only look at Gu Sheng helplessly, feeling extremely nervous.

This appearance was seen by Gu Sheng, and his heart was slightly touched.

It's not too short a time for her to come to the border. Since she came to the border, she has had contact with Shen Xiao, and this is the first time she has seen him like this. It seems that he really cares about herself.

"Okay." After drinking the wine in his glass, Gu Sheng responded, she not only has a good impression of Shen Xiao, but also likes it. It should be pretty good to marry him.

Shen Xiao didn't come back to his senses for a while, because he was nervous, one word became two by him.

Blinking his eyes, he looked at Gu Sheng, "If it doesn't work... No, did you agree just now?"

"Well, I agree." Gu Sheng ate the food, turned to look at him, with a smile on his face, "It can make General Shen courageous with wine, so I must have a very important place in General Shen's heart, and the same is true for General Shen." If you like it, it’s okay to promise to marry you.”
