After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

The expression on Gu Shicheng's face was very reluctant.

Helan Xuenuo understood him. Gu Shicheng lacked ambition. He didn't want to become the most powerful person. He just wanted to find a secluded place, stay with his beloved, and live out his life there.

But in the previous life, Gu Shicheng always felt that it was she who caused the separation between Qi Didi and him.

Qi Didi also acted well. She told Gu Shicheng that she could not accept sharing a husband with her sisters, which made Gu Shicheng feel very guilty towards him, and he turned around and married the second prince.

She also took advantage of Gu Shicheng's guilt and love to make Gu Shicheng her life and death companion.

"Let's do it. Old general, please get up quickly and don't hurt yourself." The emperor's voice came from above, and it could not be refused.

The old general kowtowed in gratitude, and the old lady helped him up. Gu Shicheng had an unhappy look on his face, and he helped to help the old general up, with old lady Helan supporting one side each.

When Gu Shicheng helped the old general back, his eyes stayed on Helan Xuenuo, and he seemed to be blaming her.

He helped the old general sit back at the desk, and when he walked back, a gust of sandalwood blew by. The smell was so familiar that Helan Xuenuo's heart couldn't help but tighten.

A deep voice came from my ear, "What tricks are you going to play?"

She looked up in shock. Gu Shicheng opened his lips slightly and spoke these words in a very low voice, his eyes dark. His voice was so low that only she could hear it.

After Gu Shicheng left, the tension in her heart finally relaxed.

Although Gu Shicheng was not happy, there was excitement on his face.

After hearing that His Majesty had decided to let Gu Shicheng take charge of the two military tokens, Qi Didi suppressed her excitement and grabbed the hem of her skirt.

She suppressed the raised corners of her mouth.

Everything has infinite possibilities again.

The banquet continued only after the maids came in carrying various dishes.

The heavy atmosphere just now was gone, and everyone started chatting happily, with a lot of noise all around.

There were also various singing and dancing performances during the event. The graceful dance moves and cheerful music made everyone feel happy.

In front of the Huanglong case, the emperor and the empress raised their glasses and drank together.

Helan Xuenuo noticed that the queen no longer kept her eyes on him.

She looked at the Second Prince again. He had become much more polite, unlike before. Instead, there was a sense of distance in his smile.

Everything has changed.

What they were after was the military token. As long as she pushed it out, she could easily get rid of the covetous eyes of these two people.

Next, the person who would be worried would probably become Master Gu.

Thinking of this, Helan Xuenuomie smiled. She drank the deer antler wine calmly and took a sip.

At the banquet, the second prince drank a few glasses of wine, whispered something to the emperor, and left quietly.

Helan Xuenuo stood up and followed him out. After they were a long distance away from the banquet, she called out to the Second Prince to stop.

The second prince was stunned for a moment, stopped, and had his usual smile on his face, which made Helan Xuenuo admire him. Gu Yanli always did things so meticulously, and it was his ability that made him the emperor.

"What's the matter, Miss Helan?"

This time, calling her "Miss Helan" was different from the usual intimate one, with a sense of distance, and Gu Yanli was well aware of this.

Helan Xue said softly, "Second Prince, I haven't been able to eat or drink much lately. I've been thinking about what you said in Wenxiang Tower all day long. I wonder if you still take it seriously?"

Without waiting for the Second Prince to reply, she continued to speak to herself, "My parents have always loved me. They only hope that no matter which family I marry into, I will become the mistress and the legal wife, and be carried into the house in a grand sedan chair."

The Second Prince was stunned for a moment, then his expression returned to calm. "I was rude that day. The marriages of royal children are never decided by anyone, and I'm afraid I can't keep my promise. From now on, I can take you in as my sister. How about we be brother and sister?"

The Second Prince's reply was within her expectations. How could the Second Prince possibly give her the position of Crown Princess? Now that the Helan Mansion behind her was no longer the Helan Mansion without the three military tokens, it was really not enough for him to exchange the position of Crown Princess for it.

Originally, the second prince coveted the military tokens. If he could exchange three military tokens for the position of the prince's consort, it would be a real bargain.

But right now, this business is all losing money. If Helan Xuenuo is willing, he can also take Helan Xuenuo as his concubine. After all, the Helan Mansion is also in charge of a military order.

Unfortunately, Helan Xuenuo's words just now have made it clear that she wants the position of prince's consort.

He is a calculating man and there is no real love in his heart.

That being said, the Second Prince and Qi Didi are indeed a good match.

It’s a pity that Qi Didi no longer has a chance.

Helan Xuenuo wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and pretended to be sad. "I feel really bad. I can't do that. It would be better if we were just brother and sister. I learned from Huang Jiuyuan that the Prime Minister's Mansion is planning to marry into the family of the Minister of Personnel. I originally thought that I was inferior to Sister Shen in every way, but at least I had to win the marriage. It seems that Sister Shen got there first..."

These words piqued the Second Prince's interest, and he asked, "Huang Jiuyuan and Shen Yinzhen?"

"That's right. Huang Jiuyuan and I have met several times. We chatted about it that day. I heard that the Minister of Personnel, Lord Shen, has promoted many ministers over the years. Everyone is very grateful to him. The Prime Minister heard these ministers praising Lord Shen, so he came up with this plan. The Minister of Personnel is a good person.

That day, Huang Jiuyuan saw that Sister Shen and I weren't getting along, so he asked me how to reject this marriage proposal. He didn't like Sister Shen. You said that in this world, the relationship between men and women is the most difficult to say, and it's often like the flower falls with affection, but the water flows without emotion..."

"Huang Jiuyuan doesn't like Shen Yinzhen?"

"Yes, he is also very depressed. I think Sister Shen has a good impression of His Highness, but it's a pity that His Highness's marriage has always been decided by the Emperor."

Helan Xuenuo sighed softly, as if she was like a sad woman who was rejected by her lover, her eyes full of sorrow.

The Second Prince tried to smooth things over, saying, "Miss Helan is such a beauty, she will surely find a good husband. General Yuan is a responsible man, so why don't you put aside your prejudices and accept him? I have important matters to attend to, so we can talk another day."

"Goodbye, Your Highness."

When the Second Prince Gu Yanli disappeared from her sight, only a vast expanse of mountains and fields remained before her.

The smile gradually returned to her face.

Wenxianglou directly rejected the second prince that day. She was already worried about offending him, and then the queen came to make trouble again. Now she was even more worried about offending Gu Yanli.

After all, Gu Yanli is vicious and scheming.

She was really afraid of offending the future emperor.

It just so happens that the Helan Mansion is no longer the best target for the court and the public to win over. The drama she just performed made the Second Prince feel guilty about her, and he will avoid her when he meets her next time.

She felt much more comfortable thinking that she would no longer have to hear the hypocrisy of the Second Prince Gu Yanli in the future.

Just as she turned around and prepared to go back to the banquet with a smile, Gu Shicheng was looking at her teasingly with his arms folded. He smiled sinisterly and asked, "What's going on here?"
