Chapter 74 Rejecting the Princess
Madam Qin led Princess Yunqing into Tinglan Courtyard and left. Yunqing looked around but could not see Gu Xiying. If she did not come to greet her, Yunqing had become accustomed to Gu Xiying's unruly rules.
Her heart was pounding, a little anxious, and a little difficult to speak. Unavoidably, she was a little anxious when she asked, "Where is your princess!"
Wanqing had never seen Princess Yunqing, and she was at a loss after giving her salute. But Moyu was familiar with Yunqing and was about to reply, but she was interrupted by a sound.
"I'm here, you come here." Gu Xiying didn't greet him or politely, and didn't even have a title. She sat on the swing and smiled.
Yun Qing was not angry either, and walked towards Gu Xiying as if she was used to it.
Mo Yu knew that the two masters were not convenient for outsiders to listen to, so he moved sideways, trying to block Ting Lan's way. Fortunately, Ting Lan took a half step and then took it back, looking like she didn't want to follow. The two looked at each other and smiled. Mo Yu asked the little girl in the yard to serve refreshments. A table was laid out in the local area.
This time, I came to the Duke of England's mansion and no matter where I came from, I should never have eaten.
Princess Yunqing walked around the flower rack, frowned slightly, and sat on another swing beside Gu Xiying. She shook it unnaturally twice. She stopped again if she felt it was not ruled.
Gu Xiying looked at Yun Qing's face full of dislike, and then looked at the neat cushion of the tea table on the other side. She smiled, she was such an awkward little girl.
"Why are you laughing at?" Princess Yunqing was already anxious and uneasy, like a pot of water that was about to bloom, churning in pieces. When Gu Xiying smiled like this, she always felt embarrassed that people could expose her thoughts.
"Laughing at you, your dignified princess, you have never sat on a swing." Gu Xiying didn't look at her, but her words were so flying that it made Yun Qing feel relieved.
"So what? I'll just sit down today." Princess Yunqing is not the one who wants to be stubborn. She doesn't care about many things, but she also cares about many things.
"Come and see me, why are you still coming empty-handed? I even gave you a sachet made by myself before the Dragon Boat Festival." Gu Xiying said.
"That sachet is not given to me alone. I think you are the one who made it for me. The stitches are not very good." Yun Qing laughed at her.
"If it's not good, it's not good." Gu Xiying didn't care, she just did it casually anyway. If you really want to talk about workmanship, any embroidery girl would be much better than she did, let alone the inner court in the palace.
"..." For a moment, no one spoke again.
Gu Xiying was waiting for Yun Qing to speak, Princess Yun Qing looked at the swing, looked at the tip of her shoes, looked at the flower stand, and looked at Gu Xiying. She just didn't say anything.
The atmosphere became cold for a moment. Yun Qing felt that it would be gradually embarrassing if she didn't speak now. What's more, Gu Xiying really didn't look at her, so she shouldn't be able to expose her embarrassment.
Yun Qing opened her mouth and plucked up her courage. "I'll come today..."
Gu Xiying saw Mo Yu Wanqing talking with Ting Lan through the flower rack. Wanqing looked at her from time to time, as if she was afraid that she would suffer a loss if she quarreled with Princess Yunqing.
When I was young, I didn’t deal with Princess Yunqing, and I always talked about it after returning home. Wanqing knew it and kept it in my heart.
Mo Yu turned her back to him and brought Ting Lan a lot of things. Wen Wen gentle and didn't know what to talk about, but Mo Yu's spine was straight and she had never relaxed. She seemed to be ready to hold Ting Lan down at any time if there was a conflict. Gu Xiying also fought with other people's girls when she was young, and Mo Yu had some experience.
Gu Xiying was laughing in her heart, and she felt a little sour. These were all determined to protect her and her family. She must take care of herself. As for those who are around, she can only be sorry.
"I know why you came today. But it won't work." Gu Xiying said softly, still not looking at Yun Qing.
Princess Yun Qing was interrupted by Gu Xiying, but she didn't have any special emotions. But the sentence "No" made Yun Qing clench his hand. She thought about Gu Xiying's reactions, and even thought that she knew that she was thinking of laughing at her was nothing important.
But Gu Xiying just said "No" lightly. She didn't even give herself a chance to speak.
Princess Yunqing's clenched fist and her fingernails like water-like nails were sinking into her palms without realizing it.
"How can you know why I came before I could speak? You can't say it's okay without listening to it. You can't be so angry either." Princess Yunqing could only bite the bullet and pretend that Gu Xiying was making fun of her, rather than really turning a straightforward rejection.
Gu Xiying sighed in her heart, thinking that Princess Yunqing is not like another little girl, she must explain her words clearly. I don’t know if she would be disappointed like this innocent princess. She turned her head and looked at Yunqing steadily. There was a hint of unbearableness in her eyes.
Yun Qing felt this emotion, and for a moment she seemed to have no courage, and she didn't want to listen to what Gu Xiying took.
She stood up suddenly and muttered to herself, "I'm leaving. It's not too late, so I can't delay returning to the palace."
"Yun Qing, I'm not angry, you know. If it doesn't work, it won't work." Gu Xiying didn't say loudly or anxious, and seemed to have no ups and downs in her emotions. She just said softly, as if she was lamenting about other people's affairs, and as if she was talking about an irreversible fact.
Yun Qing turned her face and stared at Gu Xiying, and was a little short of breath. She wanted to scream and question her loudly, but she just stared at Gu Xiying.
Gu Xiying's ruthless words followed one by one, "Yun Qing, you are a princess, so many things can be changed according to your wishes. But you and you are the ones who are in your current thoughts and what you think in your heart, it is impossible for you to be with him."
"What you say doesn't count." Yun Qing retorted anxiously with a blushing face. "You are sure to say to me, but what you say doesn't count."
Gu Xiying saw Princess Yun Qing gritting her teeth, her little face was tense, her waist was straight, and her fingers were clenched white.
"Oh. You came to look for me because you know. I can count. If you don't believe me, you will talk to my mother and the answer will be the same. Why bother?"
"But, but." Yun Qing wanted to defend herself and confess her feelings. When she thought about Gu Xiying's words, she couldn't say it. But after a long time, she still couldn't say the following.
After a while, Yun Qing asked unwillingly, "Originally, two years ago, I said I would not discuss marriage for the time being. Before I could finish my life, I thought I was not in a hurry and always waited. I thought that as he grew older, your mansion would always have to see each other. It would not be too late to plan again.
The night before I heard that you were going to a flower banquet, and I suddenly thought about whether he was thinking of marrying a bride. I felt that it would not be possible in my heart, but I was afraid that if I could. I didn't dare to bet such a thing, so I hurriedly took things up the palace road and waited for Xingchun to return to the palace, and thought of a way to come out. I thought, I thought..." Princess Yunqing couldn't continue to say anything. The little girl's affectionate thoughts said that love was long, but it was so slim.
Princess Yunqing knew that it was slim. How amazing it was to let Gu Yubin stay Lord. The dignity and glory of the British Duke's Mansion did not allow him to do this, and the responsibility and inheritance of the Gu army flag were always tied to him. He was already suffering from a stubborn disease, so how could he lose these again?
But Princess Yunqing always hopes that there will be exceptions. If there is anything, if he likes himself, then everything will be possible.
How ridiculous it is. I can't afford to bet on his own, but I look forward to his own.
Gu Xiying took Princess Yunqing's hand, "I know, I know everything. But families like us always have too many ties. But I always think that under the shackles, my brother can be more relaxed and free. As a family member, I can no longer pray for him to be healthy at all times, and I only hope that he can be at ease and contentment. Do you understand these?"
The obscure thing Gu Xiying said also made Princess Yunqing understand. If she really forced her to ask her father, even if there were sporadic possibilities, he was just unwilling, and he would not want it in his heart.
