Contract Prince

Gu Yunjing's expression was full of longing and slight helplessness, Xiao Muxue understood her helplessness.I heard from the queen that the son-in-law had a woman he liked before he got married.If he hadn't insisted on marrying her out of selfishness, the current Gu Yunjing might have been happy long ago.

Gu Yunjing is so outstanding and kind, she is the most deserving person in the world, but now she is bound by an unhappy marriage.Thinking of this, Xiao Muxue's heart twitched suddenly.After all, she is still ashamed of Gu Yunjing.

Xiao Muxue turned her eyes slightly, and said softly: "When the contract expires, the son-in-law can pursue his own happiness."

Gu Yunjing was deeply surprised by what the princess said. Needless to say, she also knew that Xiao Muxue would be wrong.Gu Yunjing was not lamenting because she married the princess, but she was lamenting her status as a woman.

I don't know when, every time she came into contact with Xiao Muxue, there was always a throbbing in her heart, and there was always a gleam of joy between her brows.At this time, Gu Yunjing especially wished that she was a man.Because of this, even if the princess has a crush on someone, as long as she is gentle and considerate enough, I believe that sooner or later the ice stone in the other party's heart will be resolved.

But he is not a man, no matter how gentle and considerate he is, he cannot give the princess real happiness.No matter how much your heart beats, you can only hide it in your heart.

Gu Yunjing stared fixedly at Xiao Muxue, twirling the green flute lightly in his hand, and said meaningfully: "I'm afraid my happiness will be hard to find in a lifetime."

Xiao Muxue has always believed in the truth that everything is human, she said slowly: "As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to reap your own happiness."

Gu Yunjing smiled: "Borrow the princess's auspicious words." After finishing speaking, she closed her eyes slightly, facing the rippling lake, and gently played the green flute.

The sound of the flute is melodious, sometimes high and sometimes low, and each syllable is clearly audible, full of melody.

Xiao Muxue followed Gu Yunjing's rhythm closely, and her slender fingers danced gracefully on the strings.The sound of the piano is ethereal, being blown by the wind and spreading.

The two cooperated extremely tacitly, and the qin and flute sang together, and the sound was ancient and distant.After playing a piece of Phoenix Qiuhuang, the lingering sound lingers in my ears, and the love and affection in the song are vividly expressed.

Gu Yunjing opened his eyes, put away the green flute, and smiled softly: "The princess's piano skills are really extraordinary."

"The son-in-law plays the flute very well."

"The long piano and the green flute are a good match." Gu Yunjing said something leisurely, with a double meaning in it.

Xiao Muxue's hand caressing the strings of the piano suddenly stopped, and she remained silent.

It was noon in a blink of an eye, and after staying by the Zihu Pavilion for a while, the two rushed to the Guining Banquet.

The Guining Banquet is divided into two sessions, one is a luncheon and the other is a dinner.At the luncheon, there were many guests.The banquet organized by Xiao Guan for his daughter was extremely grand, and not only the royal family and nobles were invited, but also dignitaries.

Gu Yunjing was not a lively person in her own life. Whether she was in Wangyou Valley or back to the Hou's Mansion these years, she lived in seclusion, and she couldn't get used to such a lively scene all of a sudden.Looking at the dark crowd at the banquet, a slight displeasure appeared between her brows.

The only thing that can make her happy is that she can hold Xiao Muxue's hand.It was clearly written in the contract that the princess son-in-law needs to pretend to be affectionate in front of outsiders, so this intimate contact is indispensable.

Gu Yunjing suddenly felt that this was probably the most humane clause in the contract.

Holding Xiao Muxue's catkin lightly, she slowly walked into the eyes of the guests side by side with the sixth princess. They are a match made in heaven.

Many people in the venue were extremely envious of Gu Yunjing, especially many young noble children, they envied Gu Yunjing for marrying the sixth princess.Xiao Muxue not only looks like a fairy, but is also deeply favored by the emperor. She loves the house as much as her own, and her husband and son-in-law are bound to be highly regarded by the emperor.

Marrying a princess can greatly consolidate the status and power of the family.The noble children looked at Gu Yunjing who was helping the princess with envious eyes.

Some people are envious and others are jealous.The representative of the jealous crowd is Lu Zhong, the son of Duke Ning.Lu Zhong can also be regarded as a good-looking talent. He has admired Xiao Muxue for a long time, and even dreamed of marrying the sixth princess.

Even though Xiao Muxue had always looked at him coldly, he never let go of any chance to be courteous.At that time, there were three candidates for the son-in-law appointed by the queen, namely Gu Yunjing, Tao Ce, and Lu Zhong.

Gu Yunjing was the No.1 choice, but at first she had no intention of being interested in the sixth princess, so the queen excluded her.The remaining candidates are Tao Ce and Lu Zhong.

Tao Ce, an idle young man, yearns for a free life.He has no interest in the sixth princess Xiao Muxue, an iceberg beauty.After hearing that the queen had the intention of marrying Xiao Muxue to him, Tao Ce immediately refused.

Therefore, if there is no accident, Lu Zhonghui will be the right choice for the son-in-law.Unexpectedly, this accident just happened.The final consort candidate was not Lu Zhong, but Gu Yunjing.

After learning the news, Lu Zhong was angry and hated at the same time. He was angry because he missed the candidate for the son-in-law, and he hated that Gu Yunjing took away his beloved.A weak and sickly medicine jar can make the sixth princess fall in love. Lu Zhong felt that Gu Yunjing must have used some method to confuse Xiao Muxue.

He has always hated Gu Yunjing, if Ning Guogong hadn't stopped him, he would have deliberately caused trouble in Zhenyuanhou's mansion on the day of the princess's wedding.

Lu Zhong had such reckless thoughts, nothing more than occupying his father's power.Duke Ning Lu Lin was not only a Duke, but also the teacher of Emperor Xiao Guan, and was appointed as an assistant minister by the late Emperor.Three honors have been added to the body, and the Lu family has an unprecedented honor.

If Zhenyuan Hou is the leader of the generals, then Ning Guogong is the leader of the civil officials, and the two are equally powerful.

Lu Zhong knew that causing trouble deliberately might bring him trouble, but because of his father's face, the emperor would not punish him severely.All he wanted was to make Gu Yunjing look ugly.

In other words, as long as Gu Yunjing can make a fool of himself, he is willing to be punished by Xiao Guan.Although it can't prevent Xiao Muxue from marrying Gu Yunjing, but it can make the son-in-law a laughing stock of the public, and for Lu Zhong, it can be regarded as a small sigh of relief.

It's a pity that his bad breath has never been able to find a chance to eliminate it.Now seeing Gu Yunjing's gentle spring breeze, Lu Zhong was so angry that his teeth ached and his face was tense.At the wedding ceremony, he failed to make Gu Yunjing lose face, and this time, no matter what, he will make the son-in-law lose face.

Lu Zhong looked at Gu Yunjing with a gloomy gaze, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth several times, like a snake spitting out red apricots, which made people shudder.He thought to himself: Gu Yunjing, Gu Yunjing, aren't you very majestic?This time I want you to be discredited and cast aside.
