369. Deliberate provocation


Men of this era already know what it’s like to be an adult when they are twelve or thirteen years old.

It is normal for them to have a concubine at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and they can even take a concubine when they return home.

Before the age of twenty, it was normal for a man to have a concubine before he married a wife.

It's not normal, but Chen Chengyan is already twenty-three this year, and he is already an old man in ancient times.

He can still control himself to this extent, which shows that he is not a sentimental person or an irresponsible person.

Now, he met Gu Zixi and fell in love with her, which shows that he is really treating this relationship.

He knows that Gu Zixi's background and status are not good, and it is very likely that everything he finally has will be destroyed.

But he still went his own way.

To sum up, apart from the fact that Chen Chengyan's identity might endanger Gu Zixi's life, he was a man worthy of being entrusted with his life.

"But I'm still a little sad."

Gu Zixi said.

She also understood what Chen Su said, but she couldn't get out of this strange circle of her own.

She was always worried about many, many things.

It was the first time she fell in love in her life, the first time she really liked a man, but this man She had to leave just a few days after being happy with her, and there was nothing she could say to accept it.

Chen Su knew what she was thinking, sighed and didn't continue.

Shen Xiu looked at Gu Zixi like this and felt sad for her.

She thought, if it were her and Han Ce, it would be hard for them to get together, but they were told that Han Ce would have to go far away from her to a place far, far away, so far away that they would hardly see each other once a year.

She must be very sad too.

"Zixi, don't be sad.

Although I don't know what to do to make you happy, you'd better not be too sad.

After all, being sad is a day, and being happy is also a day.

Why not live unhappy?"

Gu Zixi nodded, tears streaming down again.

"I know everything, I know everything you said, but I still can't control it."

"How about you go back to Xiyue with Prince Yan, so that you can be together."

After Shen Xiu finished speaking, she glanced at her sister-in-law fearfully, fearing that her words might encourage Gu Zixi to commit a crime.

After all, Gu Zixi had nothing, and Prince Yan had a special status.

If Gu Zixi followed him, he might be worse off than here.

Take her brother Ayan and sister-in-law as an example.

Because of their background, they were ridiculed by many people.

They felt that they were just crows who wanted to fly on branches and be phoenixes all day long.

No matter how high the status of brother Ayan was, They all still wanted to make fun of their sister-in-law's background as a peasant woman.

People's thoughts are deeply ingrained.

Shen Xiu knows that it is difficult to change.

Even they have to bear such unwarranted ridicule and cold looks for their whole life.

It is obvious that they have done nothing wrong, but they cannot choose their origin, but they can still become others.

The laughing stock.

If Gu Zixi really follows him to Xiyue, his identity will definitely be revealed by then.

By then, people will know that the majestic Prince of Xiyue, the God of War with a different surname, actually likes a person who was born as a maid and is from the Yan Kingdom.

This will make people laugh out loud, and even Prince Yan's career will be hit by it.

Because of this, Shen Xiu couldn't help but be afraid that her sister-in-law would tell her that she had a bad idea.

Of course Gu Zixi also knew this, so she never dared to imagine following Chen Chengyan to Xiyue Kingdom.

Chen Chengyan also said this last night.

She felt that it was not the right time yet.

She was afraid that her sudden appearance would make people laugh at Chen Chengyan.

It would be fine if she just laughed at her.

After all, she was thick-skinned and was not afraid of what others said.

Her background could not be changed anyway.

But Chen Chengyan was different.

She didn't want to lose everything he had gained with great difficulty because of herself.

"The method Xiu Xiu said is not advisable."

Chen Su said lightly.

She looked at Gu Zixi and knew that Gu Zixi must have thought about this problem.

Otherwise, she would not cry here.

It could only be because the two of them were too far apart.

That's why I'm sad.

"Alas" Shen Xiu sighed, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Chen Su didn't know what else to say.

It's not easy to persuade her about these things.

After all, it didn't happen to her.

No matter how she tried to persuade her, it didn't feel right.

He advised her not to be sad, but if it were him, she would still be sad.

So don't try to persuade her.

It feels like Seeing Gu Zixi sad and uncomfortable.

"Did he say when to leave?"

Chen Su asked, looking at Gu Zixi.

The other party shrank his nose and sobbed, "It's just these two days, I don't know."

Shen Xiu used the handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Stop crying.

I can't help but cry when I see you crying."

She really didn't know how to persuade her.

Would this make Prince Yan give up his position as a prince and come to Dayan to settle the matter?

Hey, this method is not bad, but Prince Yan is willing to do so, and the Xiyue Kingdom may not necessarily release the people.

After all, Chen Chengyan is behind all the major wars in this country.

Although Shen Xiu does not understand such things as fighting, he also knows that Chen Chengyan is here.

Xiyue Kingdom is indispensable.

"Since he hasn't left yet, let's spend more time together.

Maybe this separation will allow you to better understand your feelings for each other."

Chen Su said, "Just like Ayan and I, we were together for more than two years.

Time cannot meet, and this is how you can see your own heart clearly.

The same is true for you.

If time passes and Prince Yan still thinks about you like this, then he is the person worth entrusting to you.

If he soon forgets you and doesn’t want you, then this It doesn’t matter if the man doesn’t want it.”

Gu Zixi could only nod fiercely and said nothing, but the sadness was still there.

I don't know how long I cried, but Gu Zixi seemed to have figured it out, then got up, went back to the room, changed clothes and went out.

"Where are you going?"

Chen Su asked as he watched Gu Zixi go out in a hurry.

"I'll go find him."

When the figure disappeared at the door, Chen Su sighed, hoping that this little girl would make the right choice in falling in love with Chen Chengyan.

As for Chen Chengyan, he must treat Zixi well.

This is the first time that Zixi takes his feelings seriously. .

After Shen Xiu was basking in the sun in the courtyard while Han Ce waited on him, Chen Su had someone prepare the carriage and set off for the palace.

Princess Eight sent the invitation early this morning Princess Zaoba had sent the invitation, and it was time for her to go to the palace to meet the princess.

When Chen Su arrived, the Eighth Princess was practicing yoga in the room.

Although Chen Su didn't teach many movements, the Eighth Princess had already figured out the ropes and quickly derived many other movements based on these movements.

Now in the heart of the eighth princess Su Hanyu, as long as she trains her body well, it is more important than anything else.

"Princess, Mrs.

Shen is here."

The palace maid led Chen Su in with a smile.

I saw Su Hanyu sitting cross-legged on the blanket on the ground, doing a difficult movement.

Seeing Su Hanyu's serious training, Chen Su smiled and said: "It seems that the princess has been practicing very well recently and her body has been greatly improved."

"Call me princess again.

In front of me, just call me by my name.

You don't have to be so formal."

"yes."

After Su Hanyu completed her move, she was supported by the palace maid and slowly stood up, her forehead covered with sweat.

She smiled at Chen Su and said: "It's all thanks to you.

If it weren't for your words and your exercise, I really don't know that my body could be so good.

I don't need to take medicine, and I'm not afraid of walking around more.

Not afraid of the cold.”

"This happened only after you persisted.

If you relied solely on my words, you probably wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

Chen Su said with a smile, but he didn't dare to take credit.

Anyway, she regards the eighth princess as her friend and helps her friends, which Chen Su is happy to do.

"No matter what, I have to thank you."

Su Hanyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down.

"The imperial doctor said that now I can slowly wean off the medicine and gradually reduce the dosage.

In a few months, I can You can really become like a normal person, you don’t need to take any medicine, and you don’t have to be afraid of standing in the cold wind.”

"Um."

The two of them were sitting there talking, and suddenly they talked about what happened when they came back last night.

"Thankfully you guys came to help yesterday.

If I had come back later, I might have discovered my father."

Su Hanyu said with some lingering fear.

It seemed that last night was really dangerous.

However, Chen Su did not dare to take credit and only smiled and said: "I can only say that you are lucky.

I hope this kind of luck will stay with you for a lifetime."

Chen Su could tell that the eighth princess did not want her marriage to be used as a bargaining chip, otherwise she would not take the risk to visit Mr.

Zhao during the Lantern Festival.

The eighth princess just nodded, saying that her luck would always be with her.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore.

You finally came to the palace to accompany me today.

Let's go out for a walk in the Imperial Garden.

Now spring is here, everything is resurrected, and many flowers in the Imperial Garden are already in bud.

Now Go and see them slowly blooming.”

Chen Su nodded and didn't say much.

The two of them are about the same age, so they have a lot of topics to talk about, from yoga at the beginning to beauty, skin care, whitening, and all kinds of clothes and delicious food.

They are both talkative, so the topics between the two never stop.

But while everyone was talking happily, there were still people strolling around the Imperial Garden.

With sharp eyes, Chen Su saw Zhao Meiqi and another woman strolling in the garden from a distance.

"It's Sister Seventh Emperor."

Su Hanyu whispered.

She seemed to want to avoid the person coming from the opposite side, and pulled Chen Su to leave.

But the people behind them saw them and heard someone shout: "Eight Emperor Sisters" Now that the shouts are coming, Su Hanyu knows that he can't leave anymore, so he can only bite the bullet and meet the opponent.

The two had no choice but to turn around and look at the person who came with a sad look on their faces.

"Sister Seventh Emperor."

Su Hanyu called out timidly.

Chen Su stood aside.

Seeing this, he quickly saluted, "Join the Seventh Princess."

The other party looked at Chen Su, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and asked doubtfully: "This is the lady from General Shen's family?"

"Cousin, it's her."

Zhao Meiqi complained quickly.

I tried to punish Chen Su several times before, but failed to do so.

This time, I actually met him in the palace, so don't blame her for showing mercy.

The seventh princess has always had a good relationship with Zhao Meiqi, and she has heard her cousin say many times that General Shen's wife is a powerful character who has made her cousin suffer over and over again without being able to take revenge.

In the eyes of the Seventh Princess, their high status cannot be shaken by a country lady like Chen Su.

The seventh princess also knew that Zhao Meiqi was very stupid, but since she was her sister, the seventh princess was ready to help her cousin.

"I'm scared.

I didn't expect the Seventh Princess to know about me."

Chen Su said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone, without the slightest hint of fear.

When the Seventh Princess saw this, she looked at Chen Su even more displeased, thinking that this woman was getting an advantage and still being good?

The seventh princess sneered, "Yes, your reputation is not small in this capital.

Many people have heard of your name, and I am not surprised to hear it."

"I didn't expect that the Seventh Emperor Sister would be visiting the garden here today.

I just happened to come over."

Su Hanyu saw that the Seventh Emperor Sister was targeting Chen Su and explained quickly.

After all, Su Hanyu, the eighth princess, is relatively popular among the many princesses.

This may be because she has been weak since she was a child.

It is precisely because of this that the seventh princess is very unhappy with Su Hanyu and feels that she is deliberately changing the topic.

Before the Seventh Princess could get angry, Su Hanyu quickly exclaimed and said, "Oh, I've been through a lot today and I haven't drank yet.

Sister Seventh Emperor, I have to go back and drink the medicine.

Mrs.

Shen, let's go first."

Chen Su smiled at the Seventh Princess, saluted, and prepared to leave.

Zhao Meiqi happened to be standing behind Chen Su.

When she saw this, she was ready to kick Chen Su down, while pretending to be unaware.

However, when she kicked her, Chen Su somehow managed to avoid her kick.

Yingying stepped back and left.

"I" Zhao Meiqi looked hard at the direction Chen Su was leaving, but she hadn't reacted yet.

She clearly kicked her just now She was clearly kicked, but how could Chen Su get out of the way so easily, as if she had eyes on her back.

I have to say that Zhao Meiqi is an idiot.

Chen Su knows that this girl is hostile to him, so he naturally wants to guard against her.

Even though it seems so casual, Chen Su is actually highly vigilant.

This is also thanks to what happened to Qin Zhuyue before.

I am more alert than before when doing things.

Otherwise, she would definitely be kicked down by Zhao Meiqi this time.

If she were to be careless or not pay attention, Chen Su would have to suffer the consequences of being dumb.

Chen Su was not stupid either.

He easily dodged the opponent's kick and let the opponent kick his foot directly on the stone.

It would probably hurt.

Just as Chen Su thought, Zhao Meiqi's feet hurt a little.

The force of the kick was not light, so it would be surprising if it didn't hurt when she kicked a stone.

But what could she do?

She didn't kick anyone and caused trouble for herself.

She has to bear the consequences herself.

"Hiss" Zhao Meiqi gasped in pain and saw the seventh princess looking at her suspiciously.

"What's wrong with you?"

The seventh princess looked at Zhao Meiqi in confusion and asked.

"It's okay.

I stepped on a stone just now.

My feet hurt a little after walking all the way."

"Then go ahead and rest for a while, and then go back to my place for dinner later."

"Okay, thank you cousin."

Looking at the direction Chen Su and the Eighth Princess were leaving, Zhao Meiqi looked at them fiercely.

The seventh princess was originally bored and wanted to find someone to bully her, but when she was not bullied, she felt a little bit unhappy.

In her heart, her father was partial to her sister, and she always said good things about her, which made her very unhappy.

She was obviously a tuberculosis patient, so why did her father like her?

"What is the background of Chen Su that the Eighth Emperor Sister is so protective of?"

the seventh princess asked Zhao Meiqi angrily.

She didn't go to the winter hunting that day.

Her mother-in-law was sick, so she stayed in the palace. take care of.

Besides, the winter hunting environment was so smelly that she didn't want to go, so every year she found reasons not to go to the winter hunting.

What's more, this year, her mother-in-law was sick, so she had even more reasons not to go.

So in this way, she didn't know what happened between Chen Su and the eighth princess at the hunting ground.

Of course, Zhao Meiqi wanted to tell the seventh princess all about this, and even added fuel to the fire to discredit Chen Su, saying that she had used a trick to make the eighth princess believe that Chen Su was a good person.

And these seven princesses came and went listening to what others said about Chen Su, especially Zhao Meiqi, who talked a lot.

The seventh princess and Zhao Meiqi have a good relationship, and the power behind Zhao Meiqi is not small.

Although the seventh princess is a princess, it is best to make more friends with people with powerful backgrounds.

This will also be relatively helpful for her future marriage.

She can Choose your consort with a little bit of soul.

It is precisely because of this that after going back and forth and listening too much, I subconsciously classified Chen Su as a bad person.

Zhao Meiqi publicly stated that she liked General Shen Yan at the beginning, and most people in the capital knew this.

When people outside thought that the upstart General Shen was going to become a member of the royal family, he suddenly said that his married wife had come to the capital, which caused an uproar.

The seventh princess has also been curious about General Shen's wife for a long time.

Unexpectedly, when she met today, she really disliked her, especially those shrewd eyes.

When the seventh princess thought of what Zhao Meiqi said, she felt that Chen Su was a scheming person.

Man, with this rhythm, I wish I could tear it apart every minute.

As soon as Zhao Meiqi mentioned about the hunting ground, since the Seventh Princess did not go to the hunting ground anyway, she tried to discredit Chen Su, saying that all the credit was actually attributed to Mr.

Zhao, but Chen Su had the means to directly take the credit away.

Go, because no one saw it, everyone thought that the biggest credit was Chen Su.

In fact, it was not the case.

It was Mr.

Zhao.

It was just that Mr.

Zhao was not the kind of person who liked to take credit, so he let Chen Su take the credit.

"This is unreasonable.

I have never seen such a shameless woman, and she has the nerve to take credit."

The seventh princess slapped the stone table aside.

She had never liked people who made small moves like this, or they were just aboveboard.

Or don't play with any little tricks, it will make you feel sick.

Of course, she was as upright as the Seventh Princess, but she didn't expect that she would be fooled around by Zhao Meiqi.

The truth was clearly not the case, but she was twisted into this by Zhao Meiqi.

"Yeah, I can't stand Chen Su's behavior.

If he talks too much, Chen Su will deliberately pretend to be pitiful and distort the facts.

But the eighth cousin doesn't know what's going on, so she always thinks that Chen Su helped her. , That’s why the eighth cousin is so grateful to Chen Su, but in fact it was all Chen Su’s trick.”

"Eighth cousin has lived in the palace since she was a child and has seen very few people.

Now she finally went out to the hunting ground and happened to be rescued by someone, so she mistakenly thought it was Chen Su.

Alas, she was also deceived by Chen Su.

Who is it now?

Said that she didn’t believe other people’s truth, she only thought that Chen Su saved her”:
