On the day when Gu Qiuci was sacrificed, the people he guarded wholeheartedly did not cry, and the king and father who swear to die did not cry... At that time, they seemed to have forgotten what he had done. He was like a villain sent to the gallows, and everyone in the world applauded and celebrated.

But he didn't know her name and name, which was sad and lamentable.

——

When it comes to beauties in the world, the beauty of Chen Xiruo, the third princess of Beixiao Kingdom, is no one among the five countries, so her marriage naturally attracted much attention.

In his talent, he was good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, lyrics and essays. The song "Drunk and Beautiful City" made the most famous zither in the palace sigh.

But the princess who is so talented and has a noble status has not yet been married.

It’s not that no one wants to marry, but that the princess has no intention of getting married, and her temper has become more and more weird in recent years, which has scared away many good families.

The most well-known of them is that she broke the leg of the second son of Duke Yu, the number one suitor.

Interrupted?

This scared a group of suitors, and they were discouraged and stopped begging for the princess, those who were engaged to marry, and those who were married to marry.

Emperor Bei Xiao had a headache about this, and it was not that he had made any indirect comments, but the princess only said one thing on the left and the other was unwilling to marry, and she refused to say a word next to her.

Seeing that the princess had passed her 19th birthday, Emperor Bei Xiao could no longer sit still.

Is it because the princesses don’t marry someone who wants to marry is not outstanding enough? Then he will find an excellent young talent.

Emperor Bei Xiao had a good observation and finally turned his attention to the young and famous Shaoqing Xue Yunqian, and then he became more and more satisfied with it as he looked at it.

Xue Yunqian is talented and capable, and is the next prime minister he appointed. He is a little older and is already twenty-six. But it doesn’t matter if he is older, it will hurt people.

If Xue Yunqian had not missed the filial piety and said that he would not have let him, the elderly king, get a bargain.

So Emperor Bei Xiao took the opportunity to recruit people to the imperial study room, and retreated to the palace servants. He talked very kindly at Xue Yunqian, and finally got to the point with a smile.

"My dear!"

The young man with a tall and stern figure bowed: "I'm here."

Emperor Bei Xiao touched his beard, looked at Xue Yunqian secretly, and asked inadvertently: "Your dear, are you convinced, is there any woman you like?"

Xue Yunqian said: "I think state affairs are the most important, so I will not talk about the long-term love between children."

"Okay, okay, I am indeed a wise minister of Bei Xiao, I feel very comforted." Bei Xiao Emperor nodded, his tone of not changing: "What do you think of Princess Xiruo?"

Xue Yunqian finally noticed something wrong and replied carefully: "The princess is both talented and virtuous, and has a very beautiful appearance."

Emperor Bei Xiao looked at Xue Yunqian. This time it was not a temptation, but a direct question: "Do you want to marry a princess?"

Xue Yunqian almost agreed, but he still held back and clamped his hands hidden in his sleeves into a fist.

"The princess is noble, and there is no virtue or ability in the empress, so I dare not have such thoughts."

The smile on Bei Xiaodi's face faded and he said with a angrily expression: "So, my dear, don't you?"

Xue Yunqian smiled bitterly and lowered his head and replied: "The princess is a phoenix flying in the sky, so she naturally deserves to be matched with a dragon that is not one in a thousand. The weak minister dare not climb high."

Emperor Bei Xiao didn't know whether he should be angry for a moment, so he waved his hand and drove the person out.

Xue Yunqian came out of the imperial study room, turned a corner and saw Chen Xiruo hiding behind the pillar.

He raised a smile on his lips and walked over quickly.

Chen Xiruo waved: "Xue Yunqian!"

"Princess." Xue Yunqian bowed and bowed.

Chen Xiruo glanced around and was sure that no one could hear them, so he pulled Xue Yunqian to the side and asked in a low voice: "I heard that my father pointed out to you and me today. How did you answer?"

Seeing her nervous look on her face, as if she was afraid of marrying her, Xue Yunqian felt bitter and teasing at the same time.

"Your Majesty is asking for marriage, but I dare not refuse."

"You!" Chen Xiruo stamped his feet and glanced at the palace guards standing far away. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he said angrily: "How can you agree?"

The woman in the goose yellow palace costume looked angry, like a butterfly that had not collected honey. Xue Yunqian stopped teasing her and quickly recovered her before the woman got angry.

"I didn't agree to tease you."

"real?"

Chen Xiruo's eyes lit up, as if the person in the dark saw a ray of light, and as if the person in despair had grabbed the last straw of life.

Humble and decisive, that is a look he will never have.

Xue Yunqian stared at the girl's hair, wanted to reach out but shrank back timidly.

"I can refuse this time, but if His Majesty was determined to give you someone else, how could you refuse?"

If the order is given, there will be no way to turn things around.

Chen Xiruo looked up at the distance, and after a long time he spoke quietly: "If you can't refuse, you'll just die."

"You..." Xue Yunqian clenched his fists, then slowly let go, and smiled bitterly: "Is he the only one in your world?"

It was just one-time fate, just... it was just one-time fate, how could it become her life?

For someone who only meets once, she hated everyone in the world and even herself.

I hate the ignorant and ignorant people in the world to be grateful, and I hate myself for being a princess but I can’t save that person.

When Chen Xiruo was thirteen years old, that is, in the fifty-seventh year of Zhaoyue, he met the glorious young master, Gu Qiuci, the eldest prince of Baixi Kingdom.

That year, her father's birthday was held, and countries sent envoys to celebrate her birthday. As the most favored princess in Beixiao Kingdom, she could naturally attend such a banquet.

She was very worried in the palace and pestered the second emperor's brother to bring her to welcome the mission.

In the mission, she saw the person who seemed to be shining at first sight, with her eyebrows and long-lasting and her temperament. Chen Xiruo knew what a "shocking glance" was then. From then on, she saw that everyone in the world had become the same, which was quite boring.

The birthday was extremely lively, with hundreds of people gathering in the palace, with delicious food and wine on the table, and singing geese, singing geese, singing musicians, musicians, pipa, flutes, zithers, and laughter and playful sounds one after another.

Envoys from various countries offered tribute to celebrate their birthdays. Gu Qiu said that as the eldest prince of Baixi Kingdom, he naturally had to congratulate him personally.

During this period, everyone's eyes fell on him, who made him a once-in-a-thousand-year genius?

Especially this, his every frown and smile was engraved into Chen Xiruo's heart.

The women at the banquet whispered about the beautiful boy, and even the palace maids secretly gave him a secret message. Chen Xiruo, who was not drunk on weekdays, drank several glasses of strong wine.

"Ruoer, don't be greedy. Look at your face..."

"ah?"

After receiving the reminder from the second emperor, Chen Xiruo realized it and reached out to stroke his cheek.

Very hot!

"Help the princess go back to the bedroom and take good care of her."

"yes."

With the help of his maid, Chen Xiruo left the banquet.

When she walked to the Imperial Garden, she saw Gu Qiuci sitting alone in the pavilion and drinking tea. At that moment, he and the banquet were very similar. They were completely different when they were versatile. They were as quiet as a painting, which made people dare not disturb them, for fear of ruining the beauty.

If it were normal, Chen Xi would definitely walk away with the current situation, but that night was different, and the alcohol had too much potential.

With a wave of her hand, she staggered over after she returned the maid.

The maid didn't dare to leave, so she followed her quietly.

Seeing someone approaching, Gu Qiuci put down the teacup. As soon as he got up, a smell of alcohol came to his nose. Looking back, he saw a woman with her eyes blurred and her cheeks flushed and smiling.

He frowned and the woman rushed into the air and fell to the ground.

"Princess." A maid trotted over, bowed to Gu Qiu, and hurriedly helped her up.

Gu Qiuci waved his hand, and the maid took Chen Xiruo back.

...

On the same day, the Baixi Kingdom mission set off and returned to China, and Emperor Beixiao brought a group of princes to see him off.

When Chen Xi woke up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Although the memory is vague, she clearly remembers that she met Gu Qiuci in the Imperial Garden last night, and she doesn't remember the others at all.

Since then, she has been thinking about him every day, and her joy has become stronger and stronger as time goes by. Even when she hears the three words Gu Qiuci, she smiles with her eyebrows and eyes.

But things are unpredictable. A year later, the plague broke out and it was unstoppable. If Chen Xi could not wait for her reunion with Gu Qiuci, he would only wait for the news that Gu Qiuci was sacrificed.

It turned out that day was the first meeting and the last parting.

...

When Xue Yunqian saw that she had been staring at the distance, she knew that she was thinking about the man, so she stopped talking.

That night, she curled up in the bed without closing her eyes.

As dawn broke out, the second emperor brother, who was closest to her, pushed open the door of her palace and walked straight to her bed.

Seeing that she had not been asleep all night, there were traces of tears sliding across her cheeks, I felt very distressed.

He gently touched her head and said softly: "Ruoer."

Hearing Chen Xinan's voice, her emotions that had been holding it all night had completely exploded at this moment. She stood up and threw herself into his arms, burst into tears.
