Contract Prince

Chapter 59

Xiao Muxue didn't know that when she was seriously ill, the son-in-law took care of her so meticulously. She only knew about it after listening to Yuyao's statement just now.

Xiao Muxue admits that Gu Yunjing is a very good person, kind and refined, with unparalleled talent and appearance, it can be said that there is not a single flaw in the son-in-law.She is so outstanding, no matter where she goes, she is a landscape that people can't do without.She has a natural proud capital, but she has been keeping a low profile.

In Gu Yunjing, Xiao Muxue saw a kind of open-minded mind and demeanor. "The highest goodness is like water, which benefits all things without fighting." This sentence is a true portrayal of the son-in-law's way of doing things.

Xiao Muxue has always liked women.But when she got in touch with Gu Yunjing, she found that she seemed to be falling into the trap little by little, and her attitude towards the son-in-law was also quietly changing.From the initial indifference, to the later intimacy, and now to the entanglement.

That's right, Xiao Muxue is indeed very conflicted.She knew that her feelings for the son-in-law had undergone a qualitative change, and it was no longer limited to the level of admiration and cooperation.The princess really wanted to get close to the son-in-law, and wanted to walk into the heart of the son-in-law, to feel her emotions.

Xiao Muxue even really wanted to confess her feelings to her son-in-law, but every time she thought about the little junior sister Wangyougu, her heart turned cold.She knew that the son-in-law liked Shangguan Xiruo, and it was only in front of his junior sister that the son-in-law would be so unrestrained and smile so innocently and naturally.

Looking back on all the things that happened after getting married, the son-in-law has already helped me a lot.Gu Yunjing is a person who doesn't like to fight for fame and fortune, but he has participated in political intrigues again and again for himself.In this regard, Xiao Muxue is very grateful to Gu Yunjing.

The son-in-law is a rare good man, Xiao Muxue thinks that the son-in-law should have his own happiness.Even if she likes Gu Yunjing, she must never reveal it, she doesn't want to be the bond between her son-in-law and her junior sister.

Xiao Muxue sighed lightly, and said full of thoughts: "Yuyao, do you really think that the son-in-law likes me?"

"Isn't it?" Yuyao said without hesitation, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the son-in-law likes the princess."

Xiao Muxue smiled awkwardly: "Before getting married, the son-in-law already had someone in mind. She treats me well, on the one hand because of her kind nature, and on the other hand because I am her wife in name after all."

"She has been guarding my bedside day and night these days, and she should feel more guilty in her heart. After all, I was also hurt to protect her."

"If a man likes a woman, he should do everything possible to get close to the person he likes, not just out of love and out of courtesy."

Yuyao wondered: "Your Highness, so the son-in-law doesn't like you? I don't think so. I always think she likes you."

The more the relationship with Gu Yunjing was discussed, the more desolate Xiao Muxue felt in her heart.She obviously didn't want to continue the topic, she said in a deep voice, "Only I know if I like it or not. Today, Yuyao, the conversation between you and me is not allowed to be leaked to the third person, do you understand?"

"The slaves obey."

"You go down first, I want to be alone." Xiao Muxue said, "Yuyao, you go and tell your son-in-law to let her come over at night, I have some important things to discuss with her."

Yuyao was very happy when she heard that, she was looking forward to the princess son-in-law being alone.Even if the son-in-law has someone he likes, if he stays with the princess all the time, he might fall in love with her one day.The saying that love grows after a long time is still very reasonable.

"Yes." Yuyao ran to inform Gu Yunjing.

…………

Love is a knife, how much does it hurt?At this moment, Gu Yunjing was sitting on the stone bench, listless and in a daze.Ever since Xiao Muxue politely kicked him out of the room, the consort's brows have not been relaxed.She rubbed between her brows, thinking hard about something.After much deliberation, I still couldn't think of a way out.

Gu Yunjing can come up with countless tricks, but every time she just thinks about the relationship between her and the princess, she seems to feel that her mind is paralyzed.

"Your Highness, what should I do with you?" Gu Yunjing sighed left and right, feeling helpless.

The inner entanglement of the son-in-law is no less than that of the princess. She loves Xiao Muxue, but no matter how much she loves her, she dare not express her heart to Xiao Muxue.She is also responsible for the safety of the entire Hou Mansion, and she cannot put the entire Hou Mansion in danger just because of her children's affection.

Gu Yunjing originally thought that she had enough concentration to suppress her feelings for Xiao Muxue, and just secretly liked her in her heart.But after all, she overestimated herself too much, she is not a saint, and she is in her youth, how can she control her liking for the one she loves?

In other words, Her Royal Highness's charm is so captivating that the son-in-law can't control her restless heart at all.In the last second, she told herself to be calm when facing the princess.But the next second, when she saw the princess, she was in a mess.

"Gu Yunjing, Gu Yunjing, you have always boasted that you are resourceful and calm. Why are you so entangled now?" the son-in-law murmured.

"My son-in-law, my son-in-law, I have good news for you." Yu Yao cheered loudly as she ran all the way over.

"What news?" Gu Yunjing asked lightly, she hadn't gotten rid of her entangled emotions yet, for her right now, any good news couldn't bring her happiness.

Yuyao blushed, took a few breaths, and said with a smile: "Of course the good news is that Her Royal Highness asked you to go to her room at night, and I have something important to discuss with you."

"Really?" Gu Yunjing smiled, "His Royal Highness really said that?"

Yuyao said: "It's true, how dare the slaves lie to you?"

"That's great." Gu Yunjing was so happy that she almost floated up, and she hurriedly asked again, "Yuyao, what else did the princess say?"

Yuyao wanted to say something, but when she remembered Xiao Muxue's instructions, she had no choice but to swallow her words back.The princess is the master, and as a slave, she must never disobey the orders of the master.

"His Royal Highness didn't say anything else." Yuyao said, "My son-in-law, you have to behave well. I will entrust you with the task of taking care of the princess tonight."

The reason why Yuyao dared to speak to Gu Yunjing in such a friendly tone was because she had been influenced by the atmosphere of the Hou Mansion unconsciously.The son-in-law never regarded her as an outsider, but as a friend.

Gu Yunjing smiled and said: "Okay, I will live up to my trust."

"Since Her Royal Highness is awake, I need to go to the palace and speak to Your Majesty and Queen, so as to reassure them." Thinking of Xiao Guan and his wife's uneasy day and night because of Xiao Muxue, Gu Yunjing said slowly, "Yuyao, You go and get the sedan chair ready, I'm going into the palace."

"My son-in-law, you're really thoughtful. I'll do it now, servant girl."

…………

In Zhengyang Palace.

"Empress, my son-in-law is asking to see you." Luo Mei said respectfully.

The queen leaned on the phoenix seat, resting her forehead with her left hand, her brows were deeply furrowed, and she looked worried.

"The son-in-law is here? Hurry up and announce it!" After hearing this, the queen hurriedly ordered Luo Mei to invite Gu Yunjing into Zhengyang Palace.

After Gu Yunjing saluted, she said joyfully, "The Queen Mother came here this time to tell you good news. The poison of Her Royal Highness has been completely removed, and she has now regained consciousness."

"It's so good, it's so good." The queen's eyes were slightly rosy, "Xue'er is the most precious woman in the Xiao Kingdom, I know that she will be safe and well."

The queen now wants to go to the Hou Mansion immediately to visit Xiao Muxue who has just recovered from serious injuries.However, Xiao Guan asked someone to bring a verbal order, saying that he will drive to Zhengyang Palace in a while, so Mrs. Zhao needs to stay in the palace at this moment, waiting for Xiao Guan's arrival.

The queen was very happy. She walked up to Gu Yunjing, gently held the concubine's hand, and said, "Concubine, it is thanks to you that the princess can wake up this time. I also see your feelings for the princess. Li. Thanks to Marquis Zhenyuan for giving birth to a good son, this empress has such a good son-in-law as you. I am very happy that the sixth princess can marry you as his wife."

Gu Yunjing said: "The queen mother is serious, taking care of the princess is Yunjing's job."

The queen nodded with a smile.

"Mother, the princess has just woken up. She was seriously injured before, and now her body is weak, and I want to make up for her." Gu Yunjing hesitated, and said, "It's a pity that I don't know your highness's food preferences, so I specially prepared it Come to ask the queen mother."

The queen looked at her son-in-law and became more and more satisfied.Although she has seen countless people, she has never seen such a caring and gentle man.Wei Wei thought for a while, and the queen said: "It's rare for a consort to be so caring. Xue'er likes to eat sweets, not spicy things. Her favorite is stewed chicken soup with ginseng. Don't boil the soup for too long, eight minutes is enough. Add more rock sugar to it, it tastes sweeter."

"Thank you Queen Mother, I will remember it." Gu Yunjing smiled gratefully, "Queen Mother, Yun Jing has to rush back to make chicken soup for His Highness, so I will take my leave first."

"Go." The queen looked at her thin cheeks and warned earnestly, "My son-in-law, while you take care of the princess, you must also take good care of your body. You are already weak, and if you continue to lose weight like this, your body will collapse. Do you remember what I said later?"

"I will remember my mother's teachings, and you must take good care of your health." After Gu Yunjing finished speaking, she withdrew from Zhengyang Palace.

The first thing he did when he returned to the Hou Mansion was to go straight to the kitchen and start making soup for the princess.Gu Yunjing is the eldest son, and has never done the work of servants.Caiyue wanted to help her, but she declined it with kind words.

Gu Yunjing felt that since she wanted to take good care of Her Royal Highness, she had to show sincerity. How could she let the servants cook the soup instead of her?

Cooking soup is a technical job, and if it is not done properly, it will burn your hands.Although Gu Yunjing refused Caiyue's help, Caiyue was worried that she would get burned, so she persuaded her softly: "My lord, leave this kind of thing to me, it will be bad if you get burned. "

"No, no, no." Gu Yunjing waved his hand and said, "I want Her Royal Highness to drink the soup I made myself. Caiyue, I know you are worried about me. I am not so useless, can I even cook a bowl of soup? unsuccessful?"

Caiyue still wanted to continue talking, but Gu Yunjing immediately interrupted her words: "Good sister, if you are really worried, just guide me from the sidelines."
