    120: Masked Prince Consort & Straw Princess (Twenty Four)

    Whether the princess and the consort are at odds with each other, the young masters present know best. Since the founding of the Nightless Kingdom, no man has dared to confess his feelings in public. Men should put their official career first, and caring too much about the love of their children will make people look down on them, but Gu Chengling dares to do this!

    Those ladies felt that what Gu Chengling did was wrong, and at the same time they envied Su Yan. If their future husbands could have half the intentions of Gu Chengling, that would be enough.

    After Su Yan came to her senses, she couldn’t help but feel a little complicated. She reminded herself again and again that Gu Chengling was not sincere to her, he just wanted to take advantage of her, but she still couldn’t help but be attracted to him and step into his gentle trap.

    “Brother Gu, you can’t let it go just because the princess is there. The situation that is about to win has been ruined by three questions of yours.” On Gu Chengling’s side, someone was already making fun of him, and others also started to “conquer” him, which solved this embarrassing situation.

    Gu Chengling smiled slightly at Su Yan, then turned his attention to everyone and said with a smile: “I’m sorry, everyone, can I punish myself with three drinks?”

    Concubine Shu looked at it from a distance, almost breaking her silver teeth. How could that person and her daughter be cared for sincerely by others, especially Su Yan, who was obviously raised by her to be a loser? Gu Chengling must have been blind to fall in love with her!

    When everyone was cheering for Gu Chengling to drink, the people around Su Yan whispered to her: “The prince-in-law is so kind to you.”

    Su Yan looked over in surprise and found that the woman had some envy in her eyes. She couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you afraid of me?”

    The woman smiled sincerely, “I think a person who can be truly admired by others must not be a bad person.”

    Su Yan frowned and said, “You really love me?” If you really love her, why would you want to put yourself to death?

    The woman heard her question and continued: “When the consort looks at you, the things in his eyes are different from when he looks at others.”

    Until she was sitting on the carriage on the way back, the woman’s words were still swirling in Su Yan’s mind. Did Gu Chengling really like her?

    Suddenly, the box in her hand was taken away. Su Yan subconsciously reached out to grab it, but missed it. Gu Chengling held up the box and looked at her with raised lips, “What are you thinking about, so absorbed?”

    Su Yan subconsciously said: “It’s nothing.” Then she realized that she was a bit suspicious, glanced at the box in his hand, and said nothing.

    “Let me see what little gift Concubine Shu sent you. I got it for you after all. It should be half of mine.” Gu Chengling said as he opened the box. A faint floral fragrance floated out from the box. It is a popular flower tea among noble ladies nowadays. It is not expensive, but it is more unique and thoughtful.

    Su Yan raised her eyes and glanced, “I’ll give it to you if you like it.”

    No matter how you hear this, there is a hint of sarcasm in it. If word spreads that he, a grown man, drinks scented tea, will he become the laughing stock of the whole city?He quickly closed the lid and returned the box to Su Yan.

    Su Yan opened the car curtain and looked at the passers-by on the road, and said casually: “Father wants to quell the rumors, so just do it casually, there is no need to do that.”

    “It’s not because of the emperor’s will.” Gu Chengling’s tone was rare and serious, with a hint of seriousness.”My heart is happy for you. This is what I have always wanted to say to you.”

    Su Yan’s eyelashes trembled, but she still looked out the window without looking back. She had the urge to ask him about his true identity, but she resisted it.In the end, he just said in a low voice: “I know, you have been happy with me since we just got married.”

    “No.” Gu Chengling said decisively, “It was only after that time at Linyang Pavilion that I realized that I had some strange feelings for you. Thinking about it carefully, it probably started on the second day of the palace banquet.”

    Su Yan couldn’t even deceive herself at this time. The second day of the palace banquet happened to be the second day she came into this world. Did Gu Chengling not fall in love with the original owner, but fall in love with herself?It was as if he had knocked a small gap in the closed door of his heart.

    “You…” As soon as she said a word, the carriage stopped, “Princess, we have arrived at the house.”

    She buried the words she was about to say in her heart and got out of the carriage past Gu Chengling.Gu Chengling stared at the place where she sat, thinking in trance, if she had just had the chance to say something, what would she have said?He was somewhat looking forward to this answer, but also a little afraid.

    After dinner, Su Yan walked around the house alone a few times. Suddenly she remembered the storybook she had read before going out, and hurried back to the room, but couldn’t find it.She sorted out her thoughts. She threw it on the table after Gu Chengling came in in the morning. Could it be that the maid who cleaned the room put it away for her?

    She called the maids in and asked them again, but they said they had not seen the book. Su Yan frowned and said, forget it, just disappear and wait until someone buys it back someday. She kicked the maids out and picked up another “treasure” of hers to read. She was so fascinated that she didn’t even hear Gu Chengling approaching the door.

    It wasn’t until the door suddenly opened that she suddenly raised her head. When she saw it was Gu Chengling, she deliberately closed the book and blocked it with her body.

    When Gu Chengling saw her actions, a layer of blackness appeared on his face. He had just “confiscated” a book by himself in the morning, and now he is reading this kind of book again?He deliberately walked up to her and asked: “What book is the princess reading, so fascinated?”

    “Nothing, just some folk tales. Read them when you’re bored.” Su Yan said calmly.

    Gu Chengling raised his eyebrows, “Really? I’m also interested. Why don’t we read it together?” After saying that, he reached for the “Folk Tales”.

    Su Yan hurriedly grabbed it, and the two of them were in a stalemate for a while. Gu Chengling glanced at the cover, “The Day of Tryst with the Guards”, and the blackness on his face that had just been suppressed rose again. Seeing that he had seen the title of the book, Su Yan let go and let him take the book, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

    Gu Chengling took the book and flipped through it a few times, then threw it aside. He leaned on the table and looked at Su Yan with a half-smile, “Are you blaming your husband for not satisfying you?”

    Su Yan pushed him away and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m just bored and watching these to relieve my boredom.”

    Gu Chengling picked up the book again, moved a stool and sat next to her, “I happen to be bored too, how about we read it together?” Without giving Su Yan a chance to refuse, he put one hand on her waist to prevent her from getting up, and turned the page with the other hand. Su Yan was furious as soon as she glanced at the content in the book, “You, you are shameless!”

    Gu Chengling just flipped through it casually. He didn’t expect to find that kind of content. It also had illustrations, which were not much more subtle than erotic pictures.Originally I just wanted to stimulate her and stop her from reading this kind of book in the future, but now that Wen Xiang Nephrite is in her arms, she has other ideas.
