Chapter 195 Amitabha
Chapter 195 Amitabha
The next moment, Gu Jin's voice stopped abruptly.
Because Princess Qinghe grabbed his hand and pressed it against the fullness of her chest, then raised her eyebrows at him, "Now you've touched it! Do you still want to deny it?"
Gu Yu turned around subconsciously and chanted, "Amitabha, don't look at anything indecent, don't look at anything indecent..."
Yuan Ying blushed and dared not look anymore.
Only Mu Qingyan coughed twice to let them know that there was someone here.
Princess Qinghe recognized Mu Qingyan. After His Majesty granted the marriage, she was curious and secretly went to see her. She wanted to see who the woman Prince Ling was going to marry this time was.
However, she spent most of her time in the villa outside the city and rarely in the city, so she had no chance to come into contact with Mu Qingyan.
Perhaps he thought that she would be like those women who died tragically in the past, so he didn't pay much attention to her.
She let go of Gu Jin's hand and got up from him.
Gu Jin was petrified by her action just now, and didn't even notice that the weight on his body had disappeared. It was not until Gu Yulai kicked him that he got up in a daze.
The 19-year-old boy blushed with shame and couldn't utter a word.
Talking about his encounter with the princess, it was really embarrassing. He was born in Chiling Pass, a place with flying sand and rocks, drought and water shortage, and an extremely harsh environment.
So after returning to Kyoto, he often sneaked out of the city to play alone.
That day, he found a river surrounded by mountains. It looked quite deep and there were fish in the river. He thought it was interesting, so he took off his clothes and dived in, trying to catch fish.
As a result, as soon as he went down, he didn't catch any fish, but instead grabbed a human leg. He was startled and quickly floated to the surface.
The two of them were naked in the water, staring at each other.
He saw the Qinghe County Lord shouting loudly, and he swam over in a rush, hugged her with one hand, and covered her mouth with the other, signaling her not to shout and explaining that he did not mean to take advantage of her.
He even pressed her acupoints to make her unable to move, then dragged her to the shore, put on his clothes himself, untied her acupoints, and then slipped away while she was getting dressed.
Unexpectedly, one day, they met again in a teahouse in Kyoto... and the scene that Yuanying saw happened. She threw a handkerchief on his face and shouted that she wanted him to be her son-in-law. Only then did he know that she was the princess of Yongle Palace.
"My name is Gu Yu, Gu Jin's elder brother, nice to meet you, Princess..."
Yuan Ying also bowed, "Disciple Yuan Ying, I greet the princess..."
Mu Qingyan wanted to salute, but she raised her hand to stop him, "You are my brother Ling's future princess. I dare not accept your gift. Forget it."
Mu Qingyan couldn't ask for more.
"As you can see, this princess has taken a fancy to Gu Jin, and he has to marry her whether he wants to or not!"
Gu Jue apologized with a smile, "Princess, marriage is such a big deal, how can you make a decision so easily? Prince Yongle is not in the capital right now, don't you want your father to come back and preside over your wedding?"
Princess Qinghe thought about it and it seemed to make sense. "How difficult is this? I can just write a letter and ask him to come back. If he can't get away, only His Majesty and Prince Ling can take care of it for me. You don't have to worry about it!"
Gu Yu felt some cold sweat on his forehead and he raised his hand to wipe it.
Facing this princess is even more frightening than facing a huge army...
She glanced at Gu Yu, who stiffly moved a step to the side, revealing Gu Jin who was hiding behind him.
Princess Qinghe looked at that blushing face and really liked him. "Gu Jin, you are my princess's concubine. Don't even think about running away! Go back and wait for my betrothal gifts to arrive!"
After saying that, he skipped away humming a little tune.
顾钰松了一口气,扭头对他道,“看看你,长了一张招人的脸吧,这下好了,得做上门女婿了……瞧郡主这性子,你娶了她——呸——你嫁过去,还不得天天挨揍啊……”
Gu Jin's face was burning with rage, and he felt embarrassed. "Brother, stop talking, and go back..."
He walked away with his head down.
Seeing how distraught he looked, Gu Yu was afraid that something might have happened to him, so he quickly looked at Mu Qingyan.
Mu Qingyan said, "Big brother, please go and look after him. Don't let anything happen to him. I have secret guards here to protect him, so he'll be fine."
"Well, you better come back soon. If grandma knows that we left you two behind, she will skin us alive..."
I finally got out to relax, so of course I won’t go back so early.
Yuan Ying is actually a lively person, but she has become accustomed to being a well-educated, well-mannered lady, so she has been suppressing her nature.
This trip out seemed to break the frame that had been trapping her, freeing her. Even her smile was more relaxed than before.
"Sister Yan, what kind of husband does mother want me to marry?"
Mu Qingyan felt that she was too tired, thinking about her mother's preferences in everything. "Sister Ying, aunt is your mother, but she is not the reason for you to restrain yourself. If she knew that you always cater to her preferences and live a life that makes her happy and at ease, would she really be happy? In life, what you like is the most important thing. Don't be yourself as others want you to be, it's very tiring."
Yuanying looked up and faced the wind blowing from the mountains.
It's cold at high altitudes, and without high walls in the mountains, it's even colder than Kyoto.
"But I've gotten used to it and don't feel tired. At that time, I always thought that as long as my mother was well and could spend more time with me, I would be willing to exchange my own life for her. My mother hoped that I would marry a husband like my father or my brother... My father and brother are both good, but their hearts are too big and they hold too many things. A wife can only occupy a small part..."
Mu Qingyan understood what she meant.
Yuan Xiao and Yuan Feng are both career-oriented men.
Although they all respect and care about their wives, they have little time to spend with their wives because of their careers.
But in these not-so-peaceful times, you can't say they are wrong.
Because all they care about is the country and the people's livelihood.
When they cannot take care of both the big family and their own family, they will choose the big family without hesitation.
Just like this time, Yuan Xiao prepared for the worst and sent his wife and daughter to Kyoto. The father and son chose to protect Huaiyang.
He left a way out for his wife and daughter and was prepared to make sacrifices.
During the time when Madam Yuan was unconscious and in a daze, it was probably because of Yuan Ying's constant protection and careful care day and night that she was fortunate enough to wait for her grandfather to save her.
Yuan Xiao is a good husband and he takes good care of his wife.
But he was also responsible for the imperial court's grain transport lifeline, which affected the livelihoods of tens of millions of people. He did everything he could, but it was still limited.
