Chapter 287: Everyone is so childish
Pei Yan bit her lip: "This is different for me."
"These days, someone suddenly made me see myself. At first, I didn't quite understand. I always felt like there was something stuck in my heart, like a fishbone stuck in my throat that was hard to swallow. So I thought, if I could see you again, maybe I would understand."
Pei Yan's eyes were slightly red, and there was a hint of glitter in them: "Seeing you today, as expected, the thing that was blocking my heart suddenly loosened inexplicably."
Let go of your unwillingness and persistence.
That day, listening to what that person said to her, she suddenly understood.
What she had been obsessed with was perhaps no longer whether Gu Wen loved her or why he didn't love her, but her obsession with her past self, and her refusal to admit it and let go of her past self.
Pei Yan smiled at Gu Wen, just like the best look she had shown him back then: "I understand, and I've let it go, so Lord Gu, please rest assured, today is the past me saying goodbye to you, from today on, I will be the Crown Princess, and I will never bother you again."
Tears silently slid down her cheeks, but Pei Yan's expression was relaxed and carefree, which she had not seen since she married into the Eastern Palace.
Gu Wen pursed his lips, looked at her deeply, bowed to her, and was about to leave, but stopped before taking a step.
He did not turn around, but just said: "Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forced you to marry him, I can see that he is sincere to you. For so many years, you are the only one in his palace. For him, this is such a pressure and difficulty. As your brother, I hope you can grasp the happiness in front of you and don't wait until you lose it to regret it."
Pei Yan stared at his departing back in a daze, the pale light sprinkled on her translucent profile. For a long while, she could see a faint smile that was vaguely visible, blooming in the rising sun and breeze as the snow melted and the cherry blossoms seemed to be blooming and withering.
……
Yun Shuning was leaning against the window on the couch with a hand warmer, listening to the wind and watching the red plum blossoms dancing, scattered on the snow like ink-splashed peach blossoms.
Several days had passed since Yun Sheng and his party set out for Liuzhou. He didn't know what the current situation was over there, and he didn't know if the pills he had brought him before were enough. Just as he was thinking in a mess, he heard a knock on the door.
When she turned around, she saw Yun Yan, Yun Qi and Yun Li standing at the door, all looking at her with smiles.
Yun Shuning hurriedly got down from the couch: "Why are the brothers here?"
Yun Yan tapped her head lightly: "Of course you miss our Ning'er."
Yun Shuning smiled, and several people sat around the table. Yun Yan said, "Your marriage with Prince Rui has been decided. Although it is a little early to talk about this now, we thought that it is a good thing anyway, so we came here sooner rather than later."
Yun Shuning blinked and was about to ask when she saw Yun Yan take out a book from his arms: "This is all the secrets of my martial arts career, as well as some Kung Fu techniques. I chose the ones that are most suitable for you and can help you the most. I will give it to you as a wedding gift, Ning'er. I hope it can protect my Ning'er and keep her safe from now on. I wonder if you like it."
Yun Shuning's eyes lit up immediately. He took the book with surprise and joy, flipping through it with great interest, and said, "I like it. Of course I like it. Thank you, second brother!"
"Don't just thank your second brother, third brother has a gift for you too," Yun Qi smiled and waved his hand. Immediately, someone came in from outside the house with a tray with a pile of land deeds and house deeds on it. "Third brother doesn't have any great treasures, but these land deeds, house deeds, and store deeds are the most numerous. These are carefully selected by me. They are all good stores and houses with good locations and sizes. Just consider them as your dowry. If that King Rui bullies you in the future, you can use these to hit him in the face. If you don't have enough, come to me, third brother, for more!"
Yun Shuning laughed loudly and waved his hands, saying, "Although it sounds great, it's too expensive. I can't accept it."
Yun Qi pretended to be serious and said with a straight face: "Why, you accepted the gift from your second brother and were so happy, but you refused to accept the gift from your third brother. Do you think the gift from your third brother is not good enough, or do you think the gift from your third brother is too money-minded and not elegant enough?"
Yun Shuning quickly shook her head, holding Yun Qi's arm and said coquettishly: "No, no, how could that be, Third Brother's things are of course very good, Ning'er likes them."
Yun Qi chuckled and scratched her nose: "Then accept it obediently. I will pick it out later to see if there is anything better to send to you."
"Okay, thank you, Third Brother." Yun Shuning smiled sweetly and looked up at him.
"cough."
Yun Li coughed lightly at this time.
Yun Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Why, what do you mean you come here empty-handed? Don't say you came here without any preparation."
Yun Li was speechless. One of them was an excellent martial arts master, and the other had too much money to put it. They must have calculated that he could not match them in either of these two things and did this on purpose.
Seeing his angry look, Yun Shuning quickly smiled and pulled his hand over: "Fourth brother, don't be unhappy. Second and third brothers were just joking with you. Even if you don't give Ning'er a gift, you are still my best fourth brother."
"Humph," Yun Li snorted coldly, glared at the two people who were still grinning, then looked at Yun Shuning, took a deep breath and said, "How could I not prepare a gift for my Ning'er, Ning'er, come on, follow me, Fourth Brother will take you to see the gifts."
Yun Shuning was pulled up from the stool by him and asked in confusion: "Fourth brother, where are we going?"
"You'll know if you come with me. This is a super~invincible gift. I can't bring it with me. It's not that I haven't prepared it, huh."
Yun Yan and Yun Qi looked at each other and were about to say something when Yun Shuning was pulled out by Yun Li.
"Ning'er, hurry up," Yun Li didn't bother to pay attention to the two seemingly serious but actually childish people, "The carriage has been prepared a long time ago."
Yun Shuning smiled helplessly as he pulled her away quickly. She had never expected that her fourth brother, who was usually careless, was actually a very face-conscious person with a bad temper.
It seemed that what her mother had secretly told her before, that her fourth brother had run away from home many times because of his brothers' anger, was true.
Yun Shuning couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head helplessly.
Her brothers are all so childish.
The two of them quickly got on the carriage. Inside the slightly shaking carriage, Yun Shuning saw that Yun Li was still groaning with anger, so he consoled him, "Fourth brother, don't be angry. Second and third brothers didn't mean it. They were just teasing you. It doesn't count."
"I know," Yun Li waved his hand, "I don't take it to heart at all."
He said that it didn't matter, but his face was still puffed up, and it was obvious that he was really angry.
“You say one thing and mean another.” Yun Shuning muttered softly.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing," she quickly found an excuse and said with a smile, "I mean, where are we going? It seems to me that this route is to Zuishenglou."
Yun Shuning glanced at the sky, then at Yun Li: "Fourth brother, you are not planning to take me to a brothel at this time, are you?"
"We're going to the brothel," Yun Li nodded, "Do you have the dagger I gave you with you?"
"Of course," Yun Shuning took out a dagger from the space, "If I hadn't known how many people were outside the house that day and didn't dare to move, I would have used this dagger that my fourth brother gave me to paint them all into big cats."
Yun Shuning said this seriously, and finally made Yun Li happy. He snorted smugly and said, "You are right to do this. Fourth brother will let you know the power of this dagger in a while."
