Xie Wantang was born in the Xie family of Qinghe, with a very high family background, a gentle personality, outstanding talents and unparalleled appearance. When she was seventeen, she was appointed by the Holy Emperor and promised to the eldest prince Gu Yunsheng.
In the prosperous capital, when Gu Yunsheng was mentioned, everyone praised him. He is a man of extraordinary beauty, courteous and courteous, gentle and elegant, kind and generous, just like the orchids on the shore, handsome and elegant.
Gu Yunsheng behaved like a gentleman and kept his word. He said to Xie Wantang, I have been pleased with you for a long time and I will ask for permission to marry you.
Half a month later, the decree of marriage came to Xie's house.
After receiving the order, Xie Wantang returned to the house and took out the carefully embroidered purse. The purse that was originally intended to be given to Gu Yunsheng was embroidered with noble orchid. Xie Wantang picked up the scissors and cut it into pieces.
Xie Wantang's biological mother was Xuxian. For more than ten years, she was cautious in Xie's family, mediating in everything, and worked hard until death. Her only wish before her death was that her daughter must be his wife.
In the imperial edict, it was announced that she would be a concubine and would be married next year.
Being a concubine who is half slave and half master is not as good as continuing the relationship.
Gu Yunsheng wrote a letter and invited her out.
The two of them were separated by a screen, and Gu Yunsheng spoke clearly and clearly, expressing Tianjia's helplessness.
He didn't mean to humiliate, but he was in the vortex of fighting for the right to inherit the throne. The position of the concubine affected the military power and the court situation. Although he didn't mean to do so, the emperor couldn't let him do whatever he wanted. Finally, he promised her that "she is the only one in the house."
Xie Wantang knew that he was a gentleman, and this was the heaviest promise he could win for her in his cold tactics. He has the world in his heart, but she can only be a corner of his heart. She should have known better.
Before leaving, Gu Yunsheng's voice was gentle but heavy: "Wan Tang, do you know why I like you? It's not just because of your Xie family background and unparalleled appearance."
"That year at the palace banquet, all the noble ladies were competing in poetry and finery. Only you secretly gave a piece of pastry to the little palace lady who was ridiculed by everyone and was hiding in the corner."
"Since then, I have known that you, like me, cannot bear to see the suffering in this world. I want to give peace to people in the world, and you are the first person I want to protect."
Xie Wantang's fingertips trembled slightly. When she returned to her house, she took out her embroidery fabric and embroidered orchid grass stitch by stitch.
Xie Wantang was invited to attend the Ban Yue Harem Banquet. During the dinner, Gu Yun's master took care of him many times in private and was considerate, but there was always an insurmountable layer of courtesy between the monarch and his ministers.
Xie Wantang left the table to wash up and strayed into the flower forest. In the still night, the floating light and mist, the cold and melting moonlight, made him feel like he was in a trance between heaven and earth.
But her arm was suddenly grasped by a hot hand, with an imperceptible tremor. An irresistible force pulled her into a hot embrace, and a low and gloomy voice sounded close to her ears: "Hiding here? I have found you after all."
Xie Wantang's whole body froze, and his blood seemed to freeze in an instant. She raised her head in shock, only to see the sinister and stern man looking at her intently. He had a long body, black hair like a waterfall, a crown with nine hairpins, and a mysterious jade pendant.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince? My daughter Xie Wantang..."
Gu Yunsheng is his brother, and he should know that in terms of relationship, she should be her sister-in-law.
Gu Liexing chuckled, and his fingertips undoubtedly rubbed the delicate skin on her wrist, causing a shiver.
Under the moonlight, he grabbed her hand and covered his face.
"I'm so drunk that I don't know the way back to the palace. Could you please give me a ride, sister-in-law——"
The sound of "sister-in-law" was like a thunder, making Xie Wantang's ears buzz.
Intention: Love what you love
