Chapter 189: I can marry the prince or someone else.
Chapter 189 I can marry the prince, or I can marry someone else.
When Long Shang returned to the palace, Gu Lingyue had already finished her meal and gone to bed.
He took a quick bite and went back into the house.
The next day, when Gu Lingyue woke up, she saw Long Shang lying on the bed looking at her.
"Are you awake? Are you hungry? I asked someone to prepare some porridge. If you're hungry, I'll have someone bring it up."
Gu Lingyue shook her head. "What time is it?"
"It's just past the hour of Mao. If you feel sleepy, just sleep a little longer."
"No, I have to go give my brother an IV later."
After hearing this, Long Shang did not force it.
Thinking of what Chang Jinnuo had asked him last night, he said as he helped Gu Lingyue put on her clothes, "Let me tell you something."
"Hmm?" Gu Lingyue looked up at Long Shang's mysterious expression and found it a little funny.
"I plan to let Miss Yang stay in our house for a while and then send her away after a while."
Gu Lingyue narrowed her eyes, "Are you planning to keep her?"
Looking at Gu Lingyue's unfriendly expression, Long Shang chuckled.
It was so rare that his Yue'er finally recovered because of what he ate.
Long Shang stretched out his hand and scratched Gu Lingyue's straight nose, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? I have you as a woman and that's enough for me. Why would I want other women?"
Gu Lingyue curled her lips. Who are you trying to fool by keeping someone if you don't want him?
Seeing that Gu Lingyue had obviously misunderstood, Long Shang quickly explained, "It was Jin Nuo who asked me to keep Miss Yang in the mansion for a while. I will send Miss Yang away after he persuades his mother to agree to their marriage."
"Prince Jin?" Gu Lingyue asked in surprise, "He likes Miss Yang?"
Long Shang nodded and said, "Jin Nuo once saved Miss Yang, and they gradually developed feelings for each other. Unfortunately, in order to avoid suspicion, he pretended to be unlearned and unskilled. In the end, when he went to propose marriage, he was rejected by Madam Yang.
In fact, it was not Madam Yang's fault. She only had one daughter, so how could she marry her daughter to Jin Nuo knowing that he was an uneducated and unskillful playboy?
Now Jinnuo has become the commander of the Imperial Guards, and Miss Yang has been given to me by my father. Even if I let her go, she has been in my house before, and Princess Yizhen will not let Jinnuo marry a woman who has been married before."
After knowing the whole story, Gu Lingyue couldn't help but cry out, "I didn't expect that I was the only one who was a true playboy."
Back then, besides the original owner, the other two uneducated people in the capital was Chang Jinnuo.
Now Long Shang told her that Chang Jinnuo was pretending. How could she accept this!
Looking at Gu Lingyue's expression, Long Shang found it a little funny.
He reached out and ruffled Gu Lingyue's loose hair, then lowered his head and placed a kiss on her forehead. "You're not her. You're not a playboy. On the contrary, you're smart and clever, and you're the object of admiration for all men in the world."
Gu Lingyue felt a little shy after being praised. She blushed and pushed Long Shang, "I'm not as good as you say."
Long Shang took advantage of the situation and gently put his arm around her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder. He said with a nostalgic tone, "You are even better than I said. Meeting you in this life is my greatest luck."
"Me too."
The two looked at each other, and Long Shang couldn't help but lower his head to kiss Gu Lingyue's delicate lips, sucking on them.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then I remembered Tang's voice, "Yue'er, are you up? Mother brought you some food."
She didn't want to disturb the couple, but they hadn't woken up yet, and she was afraid they would do something wrong.
Yue'er is pregnant now and must not do any strenuous exercise to hurt the baby in her belly.
She forgot to remind Yue'er last night, so she could only come here now to prevent this from happening.
Hearing Tang's voice, Gu Lingyue came back to her senses from her distracted state. She quickly pushed Long Shang away and straightened her clothes. "Mom, we're up. I'll open the door for you."
As she spoke, she looked down at her clothes again.
Looking at her coquettish look, Long Shang was distracted and couldn't bear to look away.
Gu Lingyue glared at him before opening the door.
After the door opened, Mrs. Tang took a look at her clothes, a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, and then she placed the breakfast she brought on the table.
Long Shang went to wash up. Seeing this opportunity, Tang Shi quickly said to Gu Lingyue, "Yue'er, you are in the early stages of pregnancy. You must not act rashly between husband and wife. It would be terrible if you hurt the baby in your belly."
Gu Lingyue was stunned, and her face turned red when she thought about how she and Long Shang almost got into a fight just now.
"Mom, don't worry, I know."
She is a doctor and has some common sense. Although the two of them almost had a fight just now, she believes that Long Shang will not take risks with the baby in her belly.
Tang nodded in relief. "Okay, then, finish washing up and eat quickly. There's chicken soup stewing on the fire. I'll bring it to you."
Her daughter Yue'er lost a lot of weight after going out, and now she is pregnant. Eating light food is not nutritious, so she got up early this morning to stew soup. If she was not afraid that they would do something wrong, she would wait until the soup was ready and serve it to them.
After Tang left, Long Shang came over.
He had heard everything Tang had said to Gu Lingyue just now. Looking at Gu Lingyue's still slightly red cheeks, Long Shang couldn't help but teasing her, "I've remembered everything mother said. Don't worry, I won't do anything rash."
Gu Lingyue rolled her eyes at him and sat down to eat.
Long Shang smiled dotingly and sat down. During this time, Long Shang told Gu Lingyue that Emperor Tianqi asked them to enter the palace.
Gu Lingyue thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it after I finish giving my brother the IV."
"it is good."
After the two finished their meal, they divided the work. Long Shang went to deal with his official documents and Gu Lingyue went to give Gu Chenxuan an infusion.
Near the hour of Si, the two of them entered the palace together.
Emperor Tianqi glanced at Long Shang and ignored him, looking at Gu Lingyue. He smiled and said, "I heard from this brat that you are pregnant?"
"Yes, just over two months." Gu Lingyue showed a motherly smile on her face.
Emperor Tianqi nodded, a smile on his face. "Thank you for your hard work during this period. You also contributed to the retreat of the Western Shu army. I will not treat you unfairly."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Gu Lingyue said modestly, "This is also thanks to the cooperation of the border soldiers. I dare not take credit for it."
Gu Lingyue knew when to stop. After all, Long Shang had already taken the lead. If she took the lead again, it would arouse jealousy and would also make Emperor Tianqi feel resentful towards the couple.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "You are quite modest."
"I am just being realistic." Gu Lingyue still answered respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant, and was very graceful.
Long Shang was unhappy when he saw that Emperor Tianqi did not let Gu Lingyue sit down, but instead asked Gu Lingyue to stand and answer.
It would be fine at other times, but now he knows Yue'er is pregnant and still makes her stand. What if she gets tired?
When Long Shang was about to say something, Gu Lingyue saw what Long Shang meant and shook her head at him.
They are not only the son and daughter-in-law of Emperor Tianqi, but also his subjects. It would be bad if someone with ulterior motives knew about this and gave Long Shang the reputation of being arrogant because of his favor.
Emperor Tianqi also noticed Long Shang's displeasure and glared at him unhappily.
You feel distressed now. Why didn't you feel distressed when I was bothered by those ministers?
Emperor Tianqi was unhappy, but he still looked at Gao Ming and said, "Give Princess Jing a seat."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lingyue expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, Father."
"Move two chairs over." Long Shang added.
Gao Ming quickly looked at Emperor Tianqi.
"You don't need to. It's almost time for dinner. Go to the imperial kitchen and see if there's anything your wife likes to eat. Ask them to make some and send it over."
Emperor Tianqi was so openly driving him out, Long Shang said with a dark face: "Yue'er can eat anything, she's not picky."
How could he leave and let him bully Yue'er?
Emperor Tianqi's face also darkened. Seeing this, Gu Lingyue said to Long Shang coquettishly, "I want to eat braised shark's fin."
Long Shang hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed: "Okay, I'll go to the imperial kitchen to take a look. No matter what happens, don't embarrass yourself, I'll take care of everything, and we'll talk about it when I come back."
Emperor Tianqi was so angry this time that he laughed, "Can I eat her?"
"It's impossible to eat her, but you will bully her." Long Shang said seriously.
The angry Emperor Tianqi picked up a memorial beside him and threw it at him, "Get out!"
Only then did Long Shang look at Gu Lingyue worriedly and left in a hurry.
Emperor Tianqi frowned as he watched Long Shang leave, then turned to look at Gu Lingyue and asked, "Does he dote on you?"
Gu Lingyue responded, "Yes."
Hearing Gu Lingyue's single-word answer, Emperor Tianqi said calmly, "Then do you know that just as he pampers you, he can also pamper others?"
Gu Lingyue chuckled upon hearing this, "Yes, I understand. So, I can marry the prince, or I can marry someone else."
When Emperor Tianqi heard Gu Lingyue say this, his face turned cold. "How dare you! You are totally incomprehensible. Do you know that a good woman should not serve two husbands?"
