Chapter 18 Memories and Dreams
Gu Changan's parents died since he was a child, and he was lonely and helpless when he was two years old and was taken over by his grandfather to raise him. Until he was fifteen years old, he entered the court by himself and became an official. Later, his grandfather also died of illness, leaving him alone with his grandmother.
His maternal grandfather was Ning Guo Gong Chang Xun, and his maternal grandmother Rong Ying was not only the only first-rank wife in Ning State, but also the younger sister of the current Empress Dowager Rong.
So... the queen mother is actually... Gu Changan's aunt?
Ruan Youqing suddenly remembered Gu Changan's life experience, and only then did he realize his relationship with the Queen Mother, and immediately understood why he could enter and leave the Longevity Palace at will.
Just the Queen Mother just said...
Her old man went to Changcui Palace...was...because of him?
Is it possible...
Seeing that Ruan Youqing was at a loss, the Empress Dowager continued to smile and said, "It was Chang An who came to find Ai's family in person, saying that his identity was not convenient for him to go to Changcui Palace, and he was afraid that you would be bullied and could not fulfill Lao Ruan's instructions, so he came here on purpose. Go to Ai’s house and have a look.”
Ruan Youqing licked his hair in embarrassment, and then smiled sweetly at Gu Changan: "Thank you, Mr. Shoufu, for your concern"
Seeing that the other party is so well-behaved, Gu Changan couldn't help curling the corners of his lips, and leaned closer to Ruan Youqing's ear with ease: "Such a well-behaved little fox is rare I heard... something happened to Changcui Palace? But with you ..."
Feeling the other party's inadvertent exhalation, Ruan Youqing's body froze again, took two steps back, covered his mouth and coughed lightly. After calming down some other emotions, he raised his eyes to look at Gu Chang'an, but he was a little annoyed Shameful: "Master Gu is really well informed."
Although he didn't answer directly, Gu Changan immediately understood that the other party had admitted it.
The little fox is so sharp-tongued, it really suits him. After all, if you have this mentality, you will not be easily bullied. Thinking of this, Gu Changan's eyes were full of joy.
The Empress Dowager and Li Ange, who were standing aside, watched the interaction between the two with bright eyes. Especially Li Ange, his mouth was tight, not to let himself make some weird sounds.
For some reason, when she was in the Royal Garden, she felt that these two people were very harmonious when they were together. Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with her! Rather... what's the problem between them!
Thinking of this, Li Ange couldn't hide his excitement and leaned next to the Queen Mother's ear, and said treacherously: "Grandmother, take care of your lord and your little girl Ruan...they...are they...extraordinarily good for each other?"
The queen mother raised her eyebrows, and then the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising.
Although these two children have different personalities, they are both good-natured, and she likes them no matter what she thinks.
If we can really be together, it will be a happy event indeed!
"Do you two want to get married?" The queen mother thought about this, and asked directly with a smile.
And Gu Changan originally wanted to continue teasing Ruan Youqing and look at her "fangs", but the Queen Mother's words suddenly shook his body.
For no reason... My heart seemed to stop for a moment.
Ruan Youqing raised his head abruptly, and when he realized what the Queen Mother said, he blushed and waved his hands in a hurry: "Youqing...Youqing is not worthy of Master Shoufu! Queen Mother...don't make fun of Youqing!"
The Empress Dowager had a panoramic view of the reactions of the two of them, one was stunned, the other flustered...it seemed more interesting.
It's just... Take it slow...
Smiling secretly in her heart, the queen mother pretended to be serious: "You really don't want to?"
Ruan Youqing glanced at Gu Chang'an secretly, seeing his serious face, Ruan Youqing knew it in his heart, forced a smile and said: "Queen Mother, don't make fun of Youqing and Lord Shoufu. Master Gu...is so outstanding, after There must be a lady who is more suitable for him, Youqing...Youqing's health...is not good, if you agree easily, it will be...a disaster for Mr. Shoufu."
Seeing Ruan Youqing's serious words, Gu Changan's eyes flashed darkly, but he didn't say anything.
The Empress Dowager took another look, and then smiled softly: "If you don't think about it, don't think about it. You don't have to act as if you are facing a big enemy to the Ai family. The Ai family is not the kind of person who insists on mandarin ducks."
Ruan Youqing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the Queen Mother stopped talking about it, but the redness on her face was still there.
Gu Changan glanced at Ruan Youqing with complicated eyes, and then spoke slowly:
"If there is a destiny, there is no rush for this moment."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother was taken aback for a moment, and then opened her eyes wide with excitement.
But before the old man continued to speak, Gu Changan saluted seriously: "Changan still has something to do, so I will leave first. I will come to see you later when I have time."
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, the queen mother smiled and waved her hands: "Go, go, don't forget to come and see Aijia when you turn around."
After Gu Changan left, Li Ange smiled brightly and moved to Ruan Youqing's side: "Youqing, our Chief Assistant seems to treat you differently?"
Ruan Youqing's face turned red just now, but when Li Ange said it so bluntly, she turned even redder than before.
"His Royal Highness... You really don't want to make fun of Xiaoqing... Mr. Shoufu, he only helps to take care of me under the orders of my grandfather..."
At the end, Ruan Youqing was also a little surprised.
Why didn't my grandfather ask others, but Gu Changan. But Gu Changan actually complied seriously.
Gu Changan is not such a "enthusiastic" person...
So he and his grandfather are...really...so familiar?
But why doesn't she remember at all...
In her previous life, she only remembered that Gu Changan's death was indirectly related to her.
The others...seem to be...very vague?
Ruan Youqing frowned, the sudden headache in the imperial garden came back violently.
Then my eyes went black...
She passed out.
…
Ruan Youqing was dreaming again.
Different from previous memories, she no longer dreamed of the hellish scene at the gate of Changzhou.
But the endless desert...
There seems to be a group of people walking indistinctly in the desert.
Ruan Youqing wanted to look carefully, but the scene actually got closer and closer to her, until she could clearly see the back of the other party.
Five men in black are following a red figure and moving forward quickly.
I saw the other party's long hair casually draped over his shoulders, and the black and red colors matched in the boundless desert, which seemed a bit bewitching and glamorous...
It's just that the other party is extremely tall, taller than the few men accompanying him.
So...the other person...should be a man?
Ruan Youqing wanted to turn in front of that person to see who he was, but turned around, and it was always his back.
But... followed by a gradual well-up of familiarity.
This man...
Who exactly?
Ruan Youqing woke up suddenly and sat up, only to see Li Ange waiting beside her bed with a worried expression on his face.
Just because she sat up suddenly, Princess Puyang, who has always been fearless, screamed in fright...and sat down on the ground...
Seeing this, Ruan Youqing hurriedly got out of bed and went to help her.
Li Ange pouted with a flushed face: "You heartless, this princess waited here for you all night with great mercy! You actually want to avenge your kindness! You came here to scare this princess on purpose!"
Seeing that Li Ange's eyes were indeed dark, Ruan Youqing immediately whispered guiltily: "I'm sorry... Youqing... had a... nightmare..."
Because Ruan Youqing's face was still pale, Li Ange sighed silently: "Forget it, this princess is not really blaming you. You are really weak and well-behaved. You fainted when you said you fainted. You slept all night , but I'm worried about my... imperial grandmother! It's just that she is getting old after all, so I can't let her stay here..."
Ruan Youqing smiled and thanked again, but she was extremely surprised...
She...was asleep all night? ? ?
The body is weak... It has always been just an external rhetoric. Whether she is soft or not, she is naturally very clear in her heart.
Ruan Youqing quickly realized that this strange headache...
It is related to Gu Changan in the previous life.
