Back To My Husband’s Youth - Chapter 136

Queen Wang knew what was the reason, so she didn’t ask much, she only told Gu Wuyou quietly, “Go, come back after talking, I’ll let the small kitchen cook your favorite dishes.”

“it is good.”

Gu Wuyou nodded, and bowed to others. Then he followed De’an out. When he went out, he heard his aunt ask Changping, “What are you thinking about?”

“…Ah,” Chang Ping, who was used to being careless before, was a little shy this time, “It’s nothing.”

This girl…

Gu Wuyou shook his head amused, as he had his own little secret.

The imperial palace at this time.

Xiao Dingyuan and Li Qinyuan sat facing each other to play chess. The chess game was halfway long ago, but the outcome is still uncertain. There are a few pear trees planted outside the half-open Xuan window, but the season is not up, the pear blossoms are not blooming, and there are no leaves. They are bare. Become some desolation.

I don’t know how many people suggested that these pear trees should be chopped down and replaced with some seasonal ones, but Xiao Dingyuan rejected them.

In fact, Xiao Dingyuan didn’t remember when the pear trees were planted in what month and year. It seems that the day when he moved to this imperial palace and became the emperor, these pear trees were already there. He remembered that he had never liked pear trees. But somehow, every time someone proposed to cut down, he was always reluctant to bear it.

Can’t tell why.

The black child fell in his hand, and the opposite white child followed closely behind him. Xiao Dingyuan couldn’t help but laugh, “You are pressing harder and harder, and you don’t give me a chance to breathe.”

Li Qinyuan smiled and sneered, “You let me play well, I don’t dare to deceive you.”

“You kid–” Xiao Dingyuan smiled and said, “It’s much more interesting than your father.”

He seemed to be just gossiping, and while continuing to play chess, he casually said: “If I told your father what I said earlier, he would definitely say with a straight face’Playing chess is like a war. How can an enemy come in front of you and don’t fight back? The truth’.”

“Your game of chess is very similar to him. Did he teach you?”

In the past, Li Qinyuan felt very annoyed when he heard about Li Cengshen. Now it is probably because of a different mood, and he also knows that Haosheng speaks, “He taught it.” When he was a child, he was also hugged by that man on his lap. Teach chess skill carefully.

Even after many years have passed, father and son have become enemies, but some things hidden in the subconscious have never been forgotten.

Not only this chess skill, but also his riding and shooting…

“Do you know about the Turkic side?” Xiao Dingyuan suddenly said something like this.

This is a matter of the court, and even more a matter of military affairs. No matter what, I can’t commit a white coat with him who has no official position. Li Qinyuan didn’t understand what Xiao Dingyuan meant for a while. He looked up at him. The man on the other side looked as usual, still Observing the chess game, it seems that it is really just gossip.

He pursed his lips, then said, “On the way I came back, I heard some people mention that it was the ten-year deadline, and the Turkic prince and the second prince were fighting inwardly.”

Xiao Dingyuan nodded, “What do you think?”

“Although I have never had any contact with the Turks, I also know that this eldest prince is generous. If he becomes the throne, he will protect Dazhou and the Turks for decades, but if it is this second prince…” he was slender. The fingertips gently rubbed the chess pieces in his hands, and his voice faded a little, “If he becomes the throne, I’m afraid we will have another battle with the Turks.”

Xiao Dingyuan dropped the chess piece in his hand and looked at Li Qinyuan for a long time, but he didn’t talk about the matter any more. Instead, he changed the subject, “When the matter on the Turkic side is over, I plan to let your father retreat.”

Li Qinyuan was taken aback for a moment, a little dazed, rarely seen on his face.

“Your father and me, as well as Duke Dingguo, are friends who we met when we were young. Over the years, he has paid too much for me and for Da Zhou. I hope he can live more safely in the next few decades. “Xiao Dingyuan sighed, looking at the stunned youth on the opposite side, and then said, “Back when your mother died, he suffered a lot of injuries on the battlefield, but because he rushed back in a hurry, he was unable to survive and heal, leaving behind old illnesses that cannot be cured. A while ago, I wanted him to stay in Beijing, but you know his temperament.”

“what did you say?”

Li Qinyuan’s face was pale, and the chess piece in his hand could not be held for a while and fell on the chess board. He made a good game of chess. He muttered and asked urgently, “What is the old disease, what can’t be cured, he…”

“Don’t you know?” Xiao Dingyuan looked surprised, thinking of Li Cenchen’s temperament and the relationship between their father and son, and shook his head, “He is really…” Seeing the pale face of the young man, he sighed. Then I continued, “As long as his old illness is good for rest and recuperation, it will be fine, but if the war keeps on fighting, I am afraid… Therefore, I want to wait for the end of this time. I will keep him in Beijing anyway and forbid him anymore. went.”

No wonder every time he came back in the past few years, he was covered with a strong smell of medicine.

No wonder he looked so ugly when he came back that year…

No wonder he fainted directly after his mother was buried…

original……

Li Qinyuan’s expression was pale, and his eyes became divergent. He sat on the slumped body, his shoulders were very tight, and his hand on the tea table clenched into a fist unknowingly. I don’t know how much time has passed. Then he murmured: “He won’t listen…”

That man had already planned to devote his life to Da Zhou.

“So I rely on you.” Seeing the young man looking over with a dull expression, Xiao Dingyuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, “He will listen to what you say.”

“mine……?”

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Li Qinyuan’s face. Just when he wanted to speak, De’an said, “Your Majesty, Princess Leping is here.”

Xiao Dingyuan smiled and said, “Let her in quickly.”

Lest he saw the worry, Li Qinyuan quickly adjusted the expression on the bottom. When Gu Wuyou came in, his expression was no longer strange, but he still underestimated Gu Wuyou’s understanding of him. No matter how good he pretended to be, Gu Wuyou still saw the strangeness flashing across his face.

Pressing down on the question in his heart for a while, Gu Wuyou bowed to Xiao Dingyuan.

“Get up.” Xiao Dingyuan looked at her and smiled: “I already knew about Hankou before. You did a good job, what reward do you want?”

Gu Wuyou hurriedly said, “I just raised a mouth and didn’t do anything. How can I get your reward for nothing?”

Xiao Dingyuan laughed as soon as he heard this, “Looking at it, I really grew up.” Turning his head and saying to Li Qinyuan: “If you want to put it before, this girl must ask me for a reward, just like the kid in Changping, but now it is. I also know humility.”

Gu Wuyou didn’t think he would demolish his own stage like this, especially in front of Li Qinyuan. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Li Qinyuan’s gentle and smiling eyes, and couldn’t help but shyly said: “…uncle.”

“The point of acting like a baby has never changed.” After all, it was because her daughter was thin-skinned and didn’t joking with her anymore. Instead, she said: “I was hunting, I wanted to give Qi Lang a marriage. Now you are more in love than Jin Jian. , I will not be that wicked person, and follow your wishes.”

“Dean.” He shouted.

“Hey–” Dean walked over with the imperial decree that had been prepared a long time ago.

Li Qinyuan quickly got up, and the two of them knelt together in front of Xiao Dingyuan. When De’an finished reading the marriage decree, Li Qinyuan’s heart finally settled down. He turned to look at Gu Wuyou beside him, and turned around when he met her. Over the head, the two looked at each other and smiled.

He shook her hand quietly, clinging to his wide robe and sleeves.

Then he brought his hands to the top of his head, received the bright yellow imperial edict, and kowtowed his head to thank you, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Gu Wuyou also kowtowed, “Thank you.”

Xiao Dingyuan looked at the pair of young children underneath, as if he had returned to the situation of decades ago when he and the Wang Clan accepted an order to thank his father and the emperor. At that time, what was his mood? He can’t remember clearly.

Probably not as happy as Li Qinyuan.

At that time, he still had a person hidden in his heart, the birth mother of King Jin, his cousin, the deceased concubine… He asked to marry the daughter of the Langya King’s family for this ninety-five-year-old chair, but he was unwilling in the end.

But what about Wang?

His queen, his wife, his only wife in this life.

How does she feel?

He seemed to see the woman’s reddish cheeks, joyful eyes, and full of love in the dusty years. When she looked sideways at him, there was no hidden joy on her face.

She is happy.

At least, at that time, she was really happy.

But that smile is too short-lived, just like Wei Tuo’s epiphany, fleeting.

Xiao Dingyuan can’t remember when his queen laughed last time, let alone when she laughed at him last time…

“Your Majesty.” Seeing him in a trance, De’an called him softly. Xiao Dingyuan’s divergent gaze retracted and smiled at them: “…get up.” Then he said to Li Qinyuan, “About the horses, go and talk to the prince. After a while, he has been waiting for you for a long time.”

“Yes!”

“It’s pretty, you…” Before Xiao Dingyuan finished speaking, Gu Wuyou suggested: “Aunt let me go over for lunch, uncle, do you want to go together?”

“I…” Thinking of the empress’s temperament, if he passed by, I’m afraid she should have eaten it again. Xiao Dingyuan smiled, a little sad, but his voice was still gentle, “No, you have to go into the palace, just fine. Talk to your aunt.”

Gu Wuyou was a pity, but he couldn’t say anything.

He bowed to others and looked at Li Qinyuan when he was about to retire. Seeing that he smiled relievedly at her, he didn’t say anything, and he lowered his eyes and retreated.

After eating lunch with my aunt, I talked to Changping again.

Only then did Gu Wuyou say goodbye.

Changping naturally reluctant to give up, holding her arm and talking for a long time, all the things he wants her to stay.

“My uncle just gave the marriage, and the family doesn’t know yet. If I stay in the palace, I still don’t know what the mess is going on outside,” Gu Wuyou coaxed softly, “I will enter the palace again when the outside affairs are finished. Play with you.”

“The queen said that a married woman is not the same as she used to be a girl at home.”

Chang Ping said a little sullenly, lowered his head, and while walking, gently kicking the stones on the trail, “You will not be able to accompany me often from now on. You have to take care of your husband and raise your children.”

Suddenly heard the husband, the child…

Gu Wuyou’s face was still a little red, but he still held her hand and said: “It’s true that you can’t be as relaxed as a girl, but we are relatives. Whenever you look for me, I’m here, I can always be with you.”

“and–“

She smiled and stroked Changping’s head, “It won’t be long before we will get married in Changping. When you get outside the palace, we will have more opportunities to meet.”

“cousin!”

Chang Ping blushed suddenly, stopped, stomped his feet, and said in embarrassment: “You really are looking like someone else’s daughter-in-law now. When it comes to this, I’m not ashamed at all.”

Gu Wuyou laughed and said, “What’s so embarrassing about that a man should be married and a woman should be married.”

She was not in the capital when Chang Ping and Shen Shao were married in the previous life. She was waiting for the two to settle down and Chang Ping sent a letter. She only knew… Counting the time, it was almost the same, and she looked at her noodles. She was shy and couldn’t help asking: “Do you have someone you like?”

“I……”

As soon as Chang Ping was about to speak, he saw the person walking not far away, his face was mostly shy, and he became extremely dark.

Gu Wuyou looked at it, “What’s the matter?”

Following her gaze, Gu Wuyou saw a familiar figure.

Cho Seung Woo…

Wearing a six-rank court dress, wearing an official hat, and holding a booklet honoring the emperor’s remarks in his hand, he was slowly coming here from the palace road not far away.

They haven’t seen each other for half a year since they went back to the academy.

He seemed to have changed a lot. Zhao Chengyou, who had seen people smile three-pointedly before, was gentle to everyone, but now there is no smile on his face.

Such Zhao Chengyou made her feel extremely strange.

What happened in the past half a year that actually made Zhao Chengyou take off that layer of disguise in front of others?

As if perceiving someone watching him, Zhao Chengyou raised his eyes and looked over. When he saw Gu Wuyou’s figure, his steps were slightly paused, and his long and thick eyelashes trembled for a moment. Those eyes seemed to penetrate the barrier of time. , Saw Gu Wuyou in the previous life.

-“Zhao Chengyou, you don’t love me at all. You are with me only for the power behind me.”

-“Zhao Seung Woo, you fooled me so hard…”

-“Zhao Seung Woo, let go, I don’t love you anymore.”

The sentence after sentence was like an unbreakable magic sound, which pierced his ears fiercely, making him restless during the day and sleepless at night.

He thought of the bright and beautiful girl in the previous life, the girl who liked to call him “Brother Chengyou”, blushed and called him “husband” on the wedding night, but in the end because of his indulgence, his ignorance, and his stupidity, Let that bright soul be lost in the twenty-sixth year of Qingxi.

He couldn’t forget the blood in that place, couldn’t forget that she was lying weakly on the bed, clutching her clothes, and crying, “Save my child, save him…”

He couldn’t forget that when she woke up and knew that she would never be pregnant again, her grief was greater than death.

At that moment, Zhao Chengyou knew that he was wrong, and that he was wrong.

He thought he was a chess player, and everyone was his pawn. He only needs to control them and let him get the corresponding rewards. But he forgot that Gu Wuyou is a human, not what he thought. Of chess pieces.

She grew up with him and witnessed all the darkness and light in his life.

She is the only person in this world who can let him share all the glory with her without disguising or covering up.

He wants to be nice to her.

He wanted to say to her “we have come again”…

He will never lie to her again, will never hurt her again, he will put her in his heart and make up all the debts.

But she…

Don’t want him.

There seemed to be water and light in Zhao Chengyou’s eyes.

“Cousin, let’s go!” Chang Ping has always disliked Zhao Chengyou. It used to be because of his resignation, but now it is because he actually married Wang Zhao again. The more I think about it, the more disgusting she becomes, and she doesn’t like it very much. Wang Zhao didn’t like it even more.

Gu Wuyou nodded and responded with a “OK”.

She allowed Chang Ping to lead her out, and when she passed Zhao Chengyou, she seemed to see the broken light in his eyes… For today’s Zhao Chengyou, she was a little strange in her heart, but she didn’t want to think deeply. .

She was getting married with Li Qinyuan.

As for him and Wang Zhao, if they meet each other during the holidays, she is willing to nod and say hello to him, but best, don’t meet them.

“It’s disgusting!” Waiting far away, Chang Ping couldn’t help but spit out. Gu Wuyou looked at her amusedly and said, “How did he offend you again?”

“Cousin still doesn’t know what happened between him and Wang Zhao. Bah, neither of these two is good, and so is Wang Zhao. Knowing that he had married you before, he still has to move forward.” It was because of her that she couldn’t help but spit out again.

Gu Wuyou didn’t think much about it, but felt that fate was really amazing.

Seeing her little face bulging, she just coaxed softly: “Well, there is no need to be angry for the unworthy life, but…” She paused, thinking of the Zhao Chengyou that she saw earlier, and couldn’t help but say One sentence, “This Zhao Shizi is not much the same as before.”

Chang Ping didn’t think much about this, and he just curled his lips when he heard the words, “Who knows what’s wrong with him, anyway, since that Yongan Hou failed, he has become like this, and the father also praised him for his filial piety.”

how can that be possible?

Zhao Chengyou and the Yonganhou never dealt with each other.

However, when Yonganhou died in the previous life, Zhao Chengyou held her for a whole night of wine, and even talked about Yonganhou when he was muddled. “You know what? I hated him since I was a child, and I want him to die. I don’t like my mother, why do you want to marry her, and why do you want to give birth to me again?”

“…You said, why can’t he hug me, can’t treat me better, I’m his son too.”

“Savvy!”

The familiar voice coming from not far away made her draw her mind from her memories. She saw Li Qinyuan walking towards her from the prestige, with a smile on his brows and a smile that could soothe all her uneasiness, let her just watch When he arrives, he will no longer feel scared.

I couldn’t help it, and went to his side.

“cousin!”

Chang Ping stomped her feet with anger as she watched her movements.

“Ah…” Gu Wuyou remembered that her little cousin was still there, stopped, and looked at her embarrassedly.

“Humph!”

Chang Ping looked at her angrily, but when Li Qinyuan walked up to him, he immediately defended Gu Wuyou, like a maiden, “Hey, you will treat my cousin better in the future. If you let me know that you are bullying her, I , I will settle the account with you!”

Li Qinyuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gu Wuyou, whose cheeks were reddish, before he said softly, “Naturally, I won’t bully her.”

Seeing their love and concubines, there are outsiders there, so they don’t hesitate to do so, and they flatten their mouths, and then hold Gu Wuyou’s hand, and say with a tone of reluctance: “Then you will come back next time. Me.” With Gu Wuyou’s assurance, she let go.

The palace man next to him said: “Princess, let’s go back too.”

“Ok.”

Chang Ping nodded, and it took two steps to realize that there was something that I hadn’t finished talking to my cousin. Hey, he turned to look, only to find that the two of them had already gone far away… She actually didn’t like Li Qinyuan, she felt that This person used to have such a bad reputation. Although he has done a few good things now, he is not enough to match his cousin.

But this will look at the figure of the two leaving, watching Li Qinyuan clearly have long hands and legs, but deliberately slowed down in order to accommodate his cousin.

She suddenly felt that this person was also good, at least good for her cousin.

Thought of this.

Chang Ping hummed softly, and was finally happy, “Let’s go.”

Until she saw Zhao Chengyou, who was still standing on the palace road and didn’t know what she was thinking, she lowered her face, “What are you looking at? My cousin can also be seen by you, you…” Before she finished speaking, she just watched. To a pair of eyes that are so gloomy that there is no trace of emotion.

Since she was a child, when did she see such fierce eyes that scared her back one after another, if it weren’t for the support from the palace behind her in time, she would almost fall down.

But looking over again, those eyes became quiet as water again, as if she was just looking at them.

Zhao Chengyou bowed his hand to her neither humble nor arrogant, and then did not say much, leaving only the sentence “Your Majesty is still waiting for the ministers” and then turned and walked towards the imperial palace.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“You,” Chang Ping grasped the palace man’s sleeve, his face pale, and even his voice became stuttered, “did you see? Zhao Chengyou’s eyes just now…”

“what?”

The palace man was puzzled, and glanced at Zhao Chengyou’s figure, “What happened to Mr. Zhao’s eyes?”

Chang Ping opened his mouth, but looked at the palace man’s dazed expression, and then let go of his hand with anger. Is it possible that she is really wrong?
