Oh my god, can you play like this?

Gu Shurui's mind was working frantically, but his face was calm.

"He is such a troublemaker. He asks me for help for nothing serious.

When his injury was not as good as it is now, he was bored at home and asked me to find him some nice notebooks, books, fun things, etc.

You have no idea how much of a bully the Fifth Prince is. He took advantage of his injuries and asked me to read to him because he was unwilling to hold up the book. It was so annoying.

When he came back home, we had to cut cloth to make clothes for him, but he didn't even pick out the fabric he liked. He always asked me to choose.

Every time I go out of the house, he asks me to buy him something to cheer him up. If I don’t buy it for him, he gets upset and acts like a child, which is really annoying.”

After hearing what Gu Shurui said, the Fifth Prince raised his eyebrows in surprise. He really didn't expect that the general at home would have such a temper.

But Gu Shurui's words also verified his previous guess that the relationship between the two brothers is indeed very good. Gu Shurui has to do all these things. Doesn't this just show that the two brothers have a very good relationship?

Otherwise, the general could have asked his servants to do it, why did he have to ask his younger brother for help!

Well...it seems that the general doesn't mind his contact with Gu Shurui.

In this case... he shouldn't have to choose between the general and Gu Shurui. The two brothers can enter his Fifth Prince's Mansion together. This is really good.

The Fifth Prince's smile towards Gu Shurui became more gentle, "Why didn't you tell me this before?"

Gu Shurui showed a puzzled expression, "This is a private matter between my brother and me, how could I just say it out loud and make the Fifth Prince laugh at me!

I met my brother today, otherwise I wouldn’t have told you.

My brother is a general now, so he should still have the dignity of a general. It is not good to lose the general's face!"

Gu Shurui's words were very good, and the Fifth Prince felt that Gu Shurui was very sensible.

In ancient times, a family would rise and fall together, so it was the duty of Gu Shurui to protect Gu Lanzhi's dignity.

It was after this incident that the Fifth Prince valued Gu Shurui even more, and at the same time he also felt guilty towards Gu Shurui.

If he had known earlier that Gu Lanzhi and Gu Shurui had such a good relationship, he would not have avoided Gu Shurui.

It was only after Gu Lanzhi asked someone to bring a message to him that he met Gu Shurui again. The Fifth Prince felt that Gu Shurui must be feeling uncomfortable because of this incident.

But fortunately, Gu Shurui likes me, and I can still smooth out the discomfort in Gu Shurui's heart by coaxing and pampering him.

"Would you like to come back home later today? I heard that Fengyue Tower has a new group of singers and dancers. Would you like me to take you to see some dancing and listen to some music?"

"Really?" Gu Shurui looked at the fifth prince with bright eyes.

The Fifth Prince nodded at Gu Shurui with a smile in his eyes, and helped Gu Shurui into the carriage first.

Gu Shurui felt both happy and sad. He was happy because his fabricated story had passed the test and the Fifth Prince was willing to spend more time with him.

The reason he felt uncomfortable was because the Fifth Prince felt that he had value and was willing to be closer to him.

Gu Shurui understood everything in his heart. He knew that the Fifth Prince was not someone he could trust, but he still couldn't let go of his love for the Fifth Prince.

Maybe it’s really like my brother said, it’s not easy to let go of the first person you fall in love with.

Not long after Gu Lanzhi returned to the general's mansion, someone from the palace came to convey the emperor's oral order, saying that the envoy from the enemy country had arrived and that the general would attend court tomorrow to accept rewards.

Gu Lanzhi knew clearly that the emperor had asked him to intimidate the envoys. After all, it was their Gu family that had fought against the enemy country for so many years and finally defeated the enemy country.

As long as Gu Lanzhi was in the court, those envoys would not dare to be too presumptuous.

After listening to the oral instructions, Gu Lanzhi sat in the chair irritably and sighed continuously.

The eldest lady looked at Gu Lanzhi with amusement, "Brother, why are you sighing?"

"Mom, you're asking even though you already know the answer! Sigh..."

The eldest lady covered her mouth and chuckled, "You have to go to court even if you don't want to. You are a general! Besides, the oral order only allows you to go to court for one day. You don't have to do this, right?"

Gu Lanzhi rubbed his forehead and said weakly: "I will go to court tomorrow. The imperial physician will definitely report my recovery to the emperor. It will be a long time before I can go to court normally! I am so depressed!"

The eldest lady knew that Gu Lanzhi was reluctant to go to court, but that was something Gu Lanzhi had to do. She didn't know how to comfort Gu Lanzhi and could only laugh at him secretly.

When Gu Shurui came back, it was already the hour of Xu, which was a little after seven in the evening. This was very late for ancient people.

Gu Lanzhi had already washed up and was ready to rest. He had to attend court tomorrow, which meant he had to get up very early.

Gu Shurui pushed the door open and walked into Gu Lanzhi's room, sat down on the chair, and poured himself some water.

Gu Lanzhi casually put on some clothes and sat opposite Gu Shurui.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy after spending so much time with the Fifth Prince?" Gu Lanzhi looked at Gu Shurui curiously.

Gu Shurui put down his teacup and pursed his lips. "I don't know what's going on. I should be happy to be with him, but the reason I can be with him is entirely because of you. I don't know how to describe my feelings."

Gu Lanzhi smiled knowingly, "Human beings, please don't ask for so many things, okay?

Your previous wish was to spend more time with him, but now that he has been with you for so long you are asking for something else. You should be content with what you have so that you can be happy. "

Gu Shurui looked at Gu Lanzhi and lowered his eyes again, saying softly: "I know, but... I am unwilling to accept it."

Gu Lanzhi also poured himself a cup of tea, "He is a prince, and a prince who is ambitious to ascend the throne. How can he be sincere to others?

He has concubines and concubines. Do you think he cares about them?

Since you like him, don't expect him to return you with the same affection. You can only be with him if you are valuable to him. Don't expect anything else because he can't give it to you.

If you like someone else and it does not involve the fight for the throne, you can ask for equal liking.

So, the most important thing is to see what kind of person you want to choose. "

Gu Shurui raised his head and looked at Gu Lanzhi steadily, "You don't want me to be with him, do you?"
