Seeing that Gu Qingjian was evasive in his words, as if he had something to hide and was unwilling to say more, Xie Yaoqing was curious but tactful enough not to continue asking.
After all, everyone has their own secrets. If you keep asking questions, it will only make people feel disgusted. I am grateful that Yaoqing still has this sense of propriety.
For a moment, both of them fell into silence, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. After a while, Gu Qingjian suddenly raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and at the same time, a look of nostalgia and reminiscence appeared on his face.
"You used to like disguising yourself as a man. When you walked with Jizhi, it was always difficult to tell who was who between you two. Even the gentlemen in the academy were fooled by you several times." Gu Qingjian said softly.
The Jizhi mentioned by Gu Qingjian is Xie Yichen, and Jizhi is Xie Yichen's pen name. Xie Yaoqing and Xie Yichen are twins born on the same day of the same month of the same year. When they were young, the brother and sister looked quite similar. Because their stature and physique had not yet fully grown, when Xie Yaoqing wore men's clothes and dressed up a little, he and Xie Yichen looked like a pair of twin brothers, making it difficult to tell them apart.
Xie Yichen had a special liking for swordplay and stickplaying since he was a child. No matter how hard the process of learning martial arts was, he could persevere, regardless of the season, and never complain of being tired. But getting him to read and learn to read was a headache for him.
There had been several times when Xie Yichen did not want to go to the academy, but was afraid that Yongchang Hou would find out and punish him, so Xie Yaoqing went to the academy on his behalf.
Xie Yaoqing, who was usually as active as a monkey, was able to sit down and listen quietly, which was rare. Xie Yaoqing also received a few compliments from the academy teacher. However, to this day, the academy teacher still doesn't know that the person he praised was actually the wrong person.
Hearing these words, Xie Yaoqing also showed a faint smile on his face: "I was young and ignorant at that time, I just loved to play and make trouble."
Then Xie Yaoqing could not help but shook her head, secretly finding it funny in her heart. If she had done such a thing as dressing up as a man because she was young, ignorant and immature in the past, then now she had grown up and was no longer as young as eight or nine years old, or eleven or twelve years old. It would be even more ridiculous for her to walk around outside dressed up as a man.
The sun slowly set and Xie Yaoqing returned to the palace.
Compared to previous days, Xie Yaoqing returned to the palace early today, and there was still quite a long time before the palace gates closed.
According to common sense, at this time, Xiao Chengxu should be busy with various affairs - either handling state affairs or meeting with ministers to discuss important matters.
However, just after Xie Yaoqing stepped into the palace gate and took a few steps, she ran into Xiao Chengxu who was in a hurry.
It was seen that Xiao Chengxu did not bring anyone with him, only Feng An followed closely behind him, with quick steps and a hurried look on his face.
Xie Yaoqing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, wondering: Is Xiao Chengxu going to leave the palace? But looking at him like this, he didn't even change his clothes, and ran out directly in a dragon robe. If he swaggered through the streets like this, I'm afraid anyone could easily recognize his identity as the emperor.
When they got closer, Xiao Chengxu stopped, said "No one is allowed to follow", grabbed Xie Yaoqing, and hurriedly turned into the nearest palace.
Zhiyu and Juexia were worried that their queen would suffer, but they were stopped by Fengan.
"The masters should solve their own problems. As servants, we should not get involved. The more we get involved, the more chaos we will suffer."
What Feng'an said did make sense. Zhiyu and Juexia looked at each other and then stood outside silently.
On the other side, Xie Yaoqing frowned and had a cold face. She was very dissatisfied with Xiao Chengxu's behavior of pulling her. She clenched her free hand into a fist and waved it towards Xiao Chengxu without any courtesy, saying in a cold tone: "Hey, what's wrong with the emperor today? Just talk nicely, why do you touch me?"
Xie Yaoqing did not deliberately restrain his strength in this punch, and hit Xiao Chengxu's arm heavily.
Xiao Chengxu did not dodge, but endured it forcefully, only feeling a burst of pain in his arm.
This physical pain was far less than the pain in his heart. The dense pain that surged like a tide almost made it difficult for him to breathe.
"Did you go to see Gu Qingjian?"
Xiao Chengxu's eyes were so bloodshot that they seemed to bleed, and his eyes were full of gloom. When he mentioned Gu Qingjian, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. The murderous intent revealed in that instant made people shudder and feel terrified.
If there is one person in this world that Xiao Chengxu fears the most, then Gu Qingjian is definitely one of them, just because the marriage contract that was made since childhood is enough to make Xiao Chengxu feel like a thorn in his throat for the rest of his life, and he will never be able to let it go.
After all, the elders of both families are happy to see it happen, and the younger generations have a childhood sweetheart relationship. The marriage contract concluded in this way is undoubtedly better than the so-called imperial marriage that cannot be violated.
Gu Qingjian had not married yet, and he had always maintained close contact with the Yongchang Marquisate. If he had any shameful thoughts, it was not impossible...
At this point, Xie Yaoqing finally understood why Xiao Chengxu went crazy.
She glanced at Xiao Chengxu coldly, then nodded calmly and said, "Since Your Majesty already knows it, why bother asking again?"
I think Xiao Chengxu must have sent someone to follow her, otherwise how could he know clearly where she has been and who she has met?
The red in Xiao Chengxu's eyes became more intense, and the jealousy on his face was revealed without any concealment. He asked harshly: "Is he that good? He lets you see him again and again."
Xie Yaoqing frowned, unable to understand why Xiao Chengxu was acting like a jealous husband at this moment.
It was true that she had met Gu Qingjian, but when Xiao Chengxu said it, it seemed as if she had deliberately met with her lover in private.
The last time Xiao Chengxu questioned her like this, it was only because she said something to Gu Qingjian...
and many more!
Last time?
Met again and again?
With a flash of inspiration, Xie Yaoqing suddenly understood, as if a bolt of lightning had split the fog in her mind, allowing her to see the truth of the matter.
What amnesia? What about losing five years of memory? It turned out that all this was fake, just an excuse to deceive her and fool her.
If it was Xiao Chengxu five years ago, how could he be so anxious when he heard Gu Qingjian's name? Not long after she married Xiao Chengxu, Gu Qingjian was sent out to serve as an official. In the past five years, she had not seen him once. If that was the case, how could she say that she "saw him again and again"?
