The Royal's Cute Little Wife

C100: About The Child

Xie Rong took over the scroll, thanked Gu Yi, and left a few more words before he left.

After he left, only the Gu siblings were left under the tree. Gu Yi turned his head to look at Gu Ruyi, and his clear eyes were filled with a helpless smile: “Why are you still hiding your face at home? Didn’t I say that it’s not scary? ”

Gu Ruyi slowly took off her veil. A strand of hair as black as silk slipped to the side of her cheek, and with her plain hands behind her ears, she said a little desolately: “The reason why Big Brother doesn’t think it’s scary is because Big Brother is used to looking at it … I don’t want to scare people. ”

Gu Yi’s eyes showed his tender affection as she sighed. He didn’t know how to comfort her.

Sixteen years ago, when his mother gave birth to Ruyi, he was only two or three years old. However, Ru Yi had a birthmark on her face when she was born. At first, it wasn’t obvious, but at the age of four or five, it became darker and darker. It was imprinted on her palm-sized face, affecting her beauty. There were a lot of children in the mansion, and all of them were ignorant. Some of them liked to talk about things with her face, saying that she was ugly in front of her. He remembered that Ru Yi used to love smiling. Gradually, the smile on her face faded, and the light in her eyes dimmed. When she was seven or eight years old, she went out and wore a veil. Gu Yi had taught her bullies a lesson, but she still couldn’t get rid of her inferiority complex. Even now, she still thought of herself as an ugly bastard.

Actually, she wasn’t ugly at all. If she didn’t have that birthmark, she would definitely be a very beautiful girl.

Gu Yi had said these words to her many times, but she had never believed them.

She had visited famous doctors at home and tried every possible way to cure the birthmark on her face, but she had tried many different methods, but none of them had the slightest effect.

Gu Ruyi had already started to give up. Since she had come here for so many years, she might as well not marry and stay at home for the rest of her life. As long as her father and mother did not mind, she would accompany them for life.

However, the Grand Secretariat Gu Couple couldn’t really let her not marry for her entire life.

They wouldn’t give up even if there was a tiny way.

So did Gu Yi.

Gu Yi accompanied her to the study room to choose a few books. After coming out from the study room, he told servant to bring a bottle of green glazed lotus flower pattern inside the room and handed it over to Gu Ruyi, “This is a good medicine that I got someone to bring back from Jiang-Nan village. It is said that it is a medicine concocted using ancestral medicine by an almond Lin and warm doctor.

It wasn’t good for Gu Ruyi to spoil his mood, she received the ointment but she couldn’t help but say: “Big Brother doesn’t need to look for these for me in the future … … I’ve tried so many different kinds of medicines, but none of them are of any use, so this shouldn’t be an exception. ”

Gu Yi didn’t agree with her, “How can you know if it’s going to work if you haven’t tried it? I went through a lot of trouble to get this back, so you have to be more careful. ”

After which, he straightened his face and put on a serious expression.

Gu Ruyi giggled, and waved the medicine bottle in his hand, “Alright, I understand, how can I let down big brother’s good intentions?”

Her smile was very pretty. The dark red birthmark had turned into the character of a butterfly, as if it wanted to flap its wings and fly away. Even the redness had become delicate. It was a pity that she did not laugh often, a smile that came from the bottom of her heart that she had not seen once for a long time. It was only because once, when she smiled, the daughter of her uncle’s family said in disgust, “You look even uglier when you smile.”

She wasn’t confident to begin with, and after hearing this, she didn’t dare to laugh.

Gu Yi felt both heartache and helplessness. The only thing he could do was find a way to make her happy.

On the way back, Gu Ruyi coincidentally met the Fourth Miss, Gu Youxiang, and the the fifth girl, Gu Jin Xiu, both of whom were born to Second and Third Aunt respectively. The two of them walked in front of Gu Ruyi, bowing and calling out “third sister”. On the surface, they had a respectful and respectful attitude, but a smile that was not a smile appeared on their lips, it was a smile filled with ridicule.

Gu Ruyi had seen this gaze too many times, she didn’t want to argue with them, so she was about to leave when she heard Gu Jinxiu call out to her, “Did third sister come from a cultivation garden?”

She glanced back at him. “So what if I went to visit you?”

Gu Jin Xiu was fourteen this year and spoke timidly: “I heard that the eldest young master of the Xie family came to visit elder brother just now. Did third sister meet him?”

Gu Ruyi declined to comment.

“I saw General Zhong from afar during his birthday banquet. He is truly a handsome man, I wonder if it is possible for the third sister to tell me about him?” Gu Jin Xiu looked at her expectantly.

Her eyes moved slightly as she smiled gently, “Sister the fifth sister wants to know?”

Gu Jinxiu nodded shyly and timidly.

She calmly said, “Thank you young master, you have not gone far. I, the fifth sister, will still be able to see him one last time when I go to the entrance of the mansion.”

She was obviously warm-hearted in giving suggestions, but she choked on Gu Jin Xiu’s advice until she had nothing to say. They couldn’t really chase him to the door, could they? What a drop.

Seeing that she did not answer, Gu Ruyi said that he had other things to do so he left first.

Watching her leave, Gu Jin Xiu snorted at Gu Laixiang: “Isn’t it just seeing you one more time than us? What’s there to be proud of?” She’s so ugly, Young Master Xie wouldn’t fall for her! ”

Gu Jixiang stood off to the side and agreed. “Maybe Young Master Xie was scared away by her!”

Just as they were about to turn around and leave, they were startled by Gu Yi, who had suddenly appeared in the corner.

Gu Jiaxiang and Gu Jinxiang looked at Gu Yi, whose expression was as dark as water, and felt weak in their hearts. They retreated half a step and said in unison, “Big brother …”

Gu Yi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the two of them. “Is this how Second Madame and Third Madame usually teach you guys etiquette?”

When it came to their biological mother, both of them were a little timid. They lowered their heads and said, “We were the ones who lost our minds. Please forgive us, Big Brother.”

Gu Yi walked past them, looking completely selfless. “I’ll report this to Father and ask him to find a master to teach you guys. Second Madame and Third Madame must have misguided him.”

With that, he left, ignoring the two’s pleas for him.

Grand Secretariat Gu paid the most attention to etiquette and justice, and believed that a woman should obey a woman’s virtue. Not to mention that the Daoist people behind her were talking nonsense, even she should be respectful and respectful to her elder sister. If he told the Grand Secretariat Gu that their mother had been scolded, they would also be forced to learn etiquette. The masters Grand Secretariat Gu had invited were all very strict, there was no need to be lazy at all.

Returning to the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion, Xie Rong brought the Bamboo Cloud map to Xie Xun’s room and helped her hang it on the wall.

Xie Xun used to think that it was just a painting, but now that he found out what his mother was thinking, there were some words hanging in the room that Gu Yi said. She wanted Xie Rong to take off the painting, but he touched her head and said: “I’ve specially made a trip for you, at least you have to hang on for a few days to be able to live up to your brother’s feelings, right?”

Xie Xun thought about it and agreed, “Alright then.”

She reluctantly agreed.

Duke Dingguo’s Mansion and Xie Liqing only had this plan, and no one knew who leaked it, but when the news spread out, some of the more reputable officials in capital knew about it. Everyone knew about it, but no one intentionally pointed it out.

When the news reached the general’s manor, Zhong Shang was in the midst of sparring with a guard within the manor.

He stopped and kept his snake spear, turned to servant and asked: “Say it again?”

The other guard couldn’t react in time. He frowned as he saw the stick was about to hit his shoulder. He waved the gun to the side and said in an impatient tone: “Scram!”

The guard did not dare to provoke him and stood up to one side.

The messenger, servant, vigilantly repeated, “I heard that the Xie Family’s Seven Young Miss is going to be engaged to Gu Yi …”

In the past few days, even though Zhong Shang did not go find Xie Xun, he had the servant wait outside the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion. In the past few days, Xie Xun did not leave the palace. He thought that she would obediently stay in the mansion.

Zhong Shang’s mind was in a mess, he threw the snake spear back to the weapon rack and knocked over a row of weapons. He paced back and forth in the courtyard twice, and the more he walked, the uglier his expression got. “Are you sure it’s true?”

servant hurriedly nodded, “It’s absolutely true!”

How many days has it been?

Then Xiao Budian is going to be engaged?

How old is she!

Zhong Shang frowned, he did not know where this depression came from, but it was like a wildfire, engulfing him completely.

That night, after Xie Xun finished showering, half of her dry hair fell behind her back and covered her slender shoulders. She was wearing only a thin woolen sweater, and was currently sitting at the head of her bed, reading through the gossip of the people while drinking rose almond porridge. She was halfway through drinking the porridge and felt that the porridge was not sweet enough. She was just about to ask Shuang Que to add more sugar when she suddenly saw a tall and straight figure jump in from outside as the half-opened window was pushed open.

His back was against the light, and his expression was dark and unfathomable.

Xie Xun was startled, the porridge bowl dropping to the ground, he opened his mouth to call for someone: “Shua!”

However, that person arrived in front of her even faster and covered her mouth, then came close to her and whispered, “Don’t scream!”

The bowl of congee just happened to fall on the ground, the thick blanket alleviated the impact of landing on the ground, the congee scattered on the ground, but the bowl rolled on the ground and only made a small muffled sound.

Xie Xun opened his eyes wide, just by looking at the moonlight, he was able to see the person in front of him, with his sharp eyebrows and clear starry eyes. Wasn’t that Zhong Shang?

She was shocked, “Big brother Zhong Shang ….”

How did he get to her house?

No one noticed?

Zhong Shang slowly let go of her, stood up straight, and went straight to the point, “I heard that you’re engaged to Gu Yi?”

Xie Xun was suspicious, how did he know? Did he come here just to ask that?

Without waiting for her reply, Zhong Shang raised his head and just happened to see a painting on the opposite wall. If it was some other painting, then it would be fine, but the words at the bottom of the painting said — Spread out.

It was Gu Yi’s handwriting.

The expression on his face, which had just eased up after seeing her, instantly turned ugly.

Xie Zhen did not know about what happened in Duke Dingguo’s Mansion in the past few days, because something even bigger happened in the imperial court.

Yan Yu never avoided her when she was talking to the guards, so she had a rough understanding of the situation.

Some of the Ping Wang’s subordinates had been taken advantage of by the crown prince, some had been impeached by officials, and all sorts of crimes had been prosecuted. Even more than half of the food aid that the imperial court sent last year had been taken away by the Ping Wang’s men. After the Emperor Yuan Hui found out, he flew into a rage and took off the black muslin hats of more than 120 officials. Among them, 100 were the Ping Wang fans.

The Ping Wang power was greatly reduced. Originally, he wanted to stay at home to recuperate and gather his strength, but then something big happened.

Recently, Emperor Yuan Hui’s body was getting worse every day, and he would occasionally cough due to lack of Qi, causing doctors to be unable to diagnose him. The illness had dragged on for half a month, and Emperor Yuan Hui was getting weaker and weaker, not even having the strength to get out of bed. At the same time, rumors suddenly began to spread that His Majesty was about to ascend to the pinnacle of happiness. The Crown Prince was gentle, and was not the best candidate to be the crown prince.

Unknowingly, the words had reached Emperor Yuan Hui and he had sent his guards to Lord Ping’s mansion to search for it. Unexpectedly, he found a little person wrapped in paper under his bed. Not only that, they even found a gown embroidered with a golden dragon pattern in Yan Yun’s study. The size of the robe was exactly similar to Yan Yun’s.

When the guards brought all of these things back to the palace, Emperor Yuan Hui was immediately angered to the point of spitting out a mouthful of blood, as he fell into a coma.

After waking up, the first thing Emperor Yuan Hui did was to summon Duke Ping into the palace and ask him what was going on. The Emperor Yuan Hui was completely disappointed by him, and did not have the mood to fight with him for a long time. He sent out the decree to seize his prince’s position, changed the title of Gao Yang, and left for Gao Yang in three days. In this life, he was not allowed to step even half a step into the capital.

Today was the day Yan Yun was leaving the capital, so Xie Zhen and Yan Yu sat together on in the porch. servant maids carried two cups of cold jujube juice, which was used to relieve the summer heat.

Xie Zhen was about to raise her cup to drink, but Yan Yu stopped her, asking servant maids to change a cup of warm tea.

She protested, “I’m going to burn my tea on such a hot day.”

Yan Yu looked at her stomach, “Weren’t you screaming in pain yesterday? It doesn’t hurt anymore today? ”

She had just come in the previous month and was lying in his arms, hugging her belly and humming and talking a lot of nonsense. Her stomach would hurt every few days, and sometimes the pain was so intense that she couldn’t even get out of bed. The mama had instructed her not to eat cold, but unfortunately, she didn’t have the heart to remember anything, and had to be under Yan Yu’s supervision every day.

Xie Zhen was speechless, “Alright then … Let’s drink hot tea. ”

She moved closer to Yan Yu, holding his hand and placing it on her stomach, “Big brother Xiao Yu can give me some light air?”

At this time, it was no longer hot.

Yan Yu’s hand was placed on her flat stomach, and with his other hand, he used his sleeve to wipe the sweat off her forehead.

Xie Zhen looked up at him and couldn’t help but raise his hand to smooth the crease on his forehead. “Why do you keep frowning? Is there something bothering you? ”

Yan Yu grabbed her hand, and after a moment of silence, he nodded his head.

She immediately sat up with an expression of interest. “What is it? The First Prince went to Gao Yang. Could it be that it’s because of him? ”

He shook his head, looked at her and asked seriously: “Little Lamb, when will you give me a child?”

He worked hard day and night. It had been two or three months, yet he still couldn’t get her pregnant?

I don’t know how good it would be if she were pregnant with their child.

Xie Zhen was startled, her face slightly flushed, “How would I know? Again … It’s not like I can control it. ”

He chuckled and thought about it, “… I can handle it. ”

Xie Zhen glared at him, raising his hand to cover’s mouth, telling him not to say anymore.
