The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

Chapter 23 It’s okay, a real man is not afraid of pain

Shen Jingli's face turned black: "Okay, that's it, huh? I know, it's just a few more glances at the handsome guy, why make a fuss?"

Unexpectedly, the original owner was also a face control. She had never participated in the Jiuzhou Banquet, nor had she ever met this kind-hearted young man.

"It's far more than that. As soon as the banquet was over, the emperor rushed to his study to write a love letter. After he finished writing it, he immediately sent someone to deliver it to Gu's house at full speed."

"Do you know how to use idioms? Don't use them randomly, okay? Piss and poop? I don't believe it!"

Songzhu pouted, "It's Pidianpidian... Okay, you haven't remembered it yet?"

Shen Jingli shook his head seriously.

The original owner was so fierce? Although Mr. Gu was quite handsome, there was no need to show his love so blatantly, right?

Shochiku held up four fingers again: "Each love letter is more than four pages long. Oh, the content is simply disgusting, the description is inappropriate and very immoral."

Shen Jingli rolled his eyes at Song Zhu, "How do you know? Do you have any manners to peek at someone else's love letter? Do you understand me?"

Songzhu looked at the ceiling and argued in a low voice: "It was you who sent Xiao to the imperial kitchen to arrange for the little palace maid to deliver the letter."

"That's not an excuse for you to peek."

Songzhu mumbled, "You were in such a hurry that you didn't fold it properly. I swear, the letter popped out by itself."

"Didn't the little maid see it?"

"No, Miss Feng Yan from the Imperial Kitchen is well-known for her high credibility, good work and low fees."

Shen Jingli sighed softly, "It seems that the relationship between me and him is a little subtle. How will he react after receiving it?"

Songzhu: "You waited all night, but Mr. Gu ignored you, so you wrote again the next day, but still didn't get a reply from Mr. Gu. From then on, you became more and more courageous, and wrote 99 love letters in ten days."

99 letters in ten days, an average of 10 letters a day? Each letter is 4 pages, so that's almost 400 pages, right?

The original owner had good patience, but she was too impatient. However, she had been disguised as a man for eighteen years, and now she met someone she liked, so it was understandable that she was a little impatient.

"and then?"

"Mr. Gu finally replied to your letter. You were overjoyed and opened the letter to find the three words: 'Please respect yourself.'"

Songzhu covered his face and pretended to cry.

"What are you doing?"

Songzhu sniffed, "I'm learning from you, so I can help you recall the past. My goodness, your tears are like beads that have broken off the string, you can't stop them, you're hiding in the quilt and crying your heart out."

"Everyone in Qianlu Palace is waiting in your bedroom, fearing that you might be upset."

Shen Jingli held his forehead with his hand, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.

I see, this is a one-sided love that ended before it even started.

Shochiku: "That night, you cried so loudly that you didn't stop all night. The next morning, you overslept and missed the morning court."

"Your Majesty, I have to remind you, Gu Sichen, you'd better stop thinking about it... In the end, you will be the one who gets hurt."

The Emperor had never been late since he ascended the throne, but he was heartbroken after Master Gu's rejection. He must have been really sad.

Nanny Qiu ordered that as long as the emperor did not mention the matter, no one was allowed to gossip about it.

Shen Jingli sighed. It turned out that the original owner was heartbroken and crying after a breakup?

She couldn't help but look at Gu Sichen, feeling mixed emotions.

It's him, it's him, it's him.

He is the source of all evil!

However, if it weren't for him, would I not have traveled through time? Would I not have to be a puppet emperor?

Facing Shen Jingli's resentful expression, Gu Sichen felt a little uncomfortable, "Your Majesty? If you don't eat now, the food will get cold."

Now that you're here, there's no point in saying more. No matter how wrong you are, the food is fine. Just walk to the table, sit down, and enjoy the food without any manner of manner.

Shen Jingli had only one idea in his mind, which was to leave quickly after eating and drinking his fill, and to get back the ten taels he had invested in the meal.

"Your Majesty, please eat slowly." After saying this, Gu Sichen handed over a handkerchief, and Shen Jingli stopped picking up the food.

What is he doing? Who dares to use his handkerchief?

Shen Jingli's mind was still spinning, but his whole body was as stiff as a sculpture.

Gu Sichen took advantage of the situation and planned to wipe the corner of Shen Jingli's mouth with his own hands. Shen Jingli jumped back with a look of shock.

Could he have some thoughts about the original owner? ...Although, but, this... this is too sudden.

Didn’t he ask the original owner to respect himself?

She is not the original owner, don't get the wrong person!

Shen Jingli quickly stood up, looking defensive, "Thank you for your hospitality, Master Gu. I am not feeling well... I will return to the palace first."

"I was rude before. I will never bother Master Gu again. I swear."

Seeing Shen Jingli was in a hurry to leave, Gu Sichen asked him to stay, "Your Majesty, wait..."

Before he could finish his words, Shen Jingli accidentally kicked the corner of the table in a panic, causing severe pain.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Seeing Shen Jingli squatting on the ground holding his feet, his expression twisted, he said with all his strength: "It's alright. A real man is not afraid of pain."

"Goose!" The goose at the door suddenly made an inopportune sound.

Gu Sichen chuckled and said, “Your Majesty, there is no need to be so hasty.”

Seeing that Shen Jingli was still holding his feet, grimacing and pretending to be strong, he couldn't help but smile even more.

He took out a green jade gourd porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Shen Jingli.

"This is very effective in reducing swelling and relieving pain." Shen Jingli didn't dare to take it and declined, "I don't need it."

"Your Majesty is afraid of poison?"

"No."

"Then why don't you dare to answer it?"

Forget it, it’s just a bottle of medicine. It was because of him that he hurt his foot anyway. Shen Jingli unscrewed the cap of the bottle, took a sniff, and found it was non-toxic. It was indeed a top-quality medicine for wounds.

Seeing that Shen Jingli was reluctant to use the medicine on his hand, Gu Sichen asked, "The emperor still doesn't believe me?"

Shen Jingli: "My feet are injured. It is not elegant to take off my shoes in public. I will wear them after returning to the palace."

Gu Sichen looked at Shen Jingli worriedly.

Uh...what small feet! He looked up at her face again.

Haha...the face is also very small.

"Your Majesty, I will send someone to the Inspection Office to register the venue tomorrow. I will rent the place where I will set up the stall tonight. Once it is approved, I will let you run it."

Shen Jingli was a little surprised: "Why help me?"

It seems that she and Gu Sichen don’t have a deep connection, and at most it can be considered a failed courtship.

"That day when the emperor went to Guihua Village, I happened to run into him. The emperor generously helped me. I guess he must be in trouble today, so it is reasonable for me to help the emperor."

"Is that so, hehe..."

"In the evening, the governor accidentally discovered gold underground."

Gu Sichen picked up the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip of tea. Seeing that Shen Jingli was not surprised, a smile appeared on his lips.

She had already heard from Qin Yejue that there was gold in Guihua Village, so she was not surprised, but she still pretended to be surprised: "Well... it's best to use this unexpected money to help with the flood relief in the Huai River."

"Hmm..." Gu Sichen did not speak again.

"How much is the rent? I'll give it to you first." Shen Jingli took out his purse.

"I don't know yet."

“What’s the market price?”

"At least five taels of silver."

Five taels less? Shen Jingli was a little embarrassed when he heard it, "Hehe... cough... let's talk about it later."

Now that she was short of money, she quietly put away her purse.

Gu Sichen smiled, "Your Majesty seems to be living in a difficult situation?"

Shochiku echoed, "That's pretty tight."

Shen Jingli rolled his eyes at Song Zhu and said, "Will you suffocate to death if you don't speak?"

Gu Sichen's smile did not diminish, "I won't charge you rent."

Shen Jingli shook his head, "No, no, no, I won't take advantage of you."
