Chapter 45: Official business

Li Chaoge looked at Gu Mingke’s face up close. Gu Mingke’s pupils were very dark, and the depths seemed to be unable to pass through. The white part of his eyes was extremely clear, and he was born ruthless. When being watched by such eyes, it makes people feel cold and insignificant for no reason.

Right? Seeing the extreme tests the heart. If a person dares to look at others, you can see if the person’s self is strong enough. Obviously, both Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke are extremely powerful people in their hearts. Li Chaoge has taken power in his previous life and is accustomed to using his eyes to coerce others. She is the only one who suppresses others from raising their heads. There is absolutely no reason for her to give in for others. Unexpectedly, Gu Mingke did the same.

Isn’t this a sick and weak boy who can be grown up? The two people looked at each other for a long time, and no one took the lead to look away. Finally, Li Chaoge smiled, laughed, and said, “You got it right? I’m not willing to do it?”

unwilling? Gu Mingke faintly hooked his lips, and said, “The princess can try.”

Try to be reluctant, or can’t beat it.

Li Chaoge looked at this beautiful face, with stiff eyebrows, deep eyes, high and straight nose, and thin lips. There was a sharp alienation with a cold feeling. Li Chaoge saw from the top to the bottom, and couldn’t find a single fault. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it.

It’s really reluctant.

Li Chaoge said slowly: “The most annoying and crooked people in my life, especially the group of balao in Dali Temple? I want to do it when I see them. But you look good, I am not willing, so? Just talk with you? Discuss with you. Gu Mingke, my patience? There is a limit, you can stop.”

It’s arrogant, Gu Mingke also looked at her directly, and said slowly: “It’s a coincidence, I also hate people who know the law and break the law and disrupt order the most in my life.”

Two people’s eyes were full of fire, and when they saw it was triggered, a male voice suddenly came next to him. It sounded quite a bit? Unbearable: “Princess Sheng Yuan, cousin Gu, what are you doing?”

The fighting spirit that was brewing was interrupted by outsiders. Li Chaoge withdrew his hands coldly, and Gu Mingke lowered his head to clean his sleeves. Both of them looked bad. Pei Ji’an held back his anger, walked closer, and asked sharply, “What are you doing just now?”

Gu Mingke never answers meaningless questions. He concentrates on tidying up his sleeves and has no intention of talking. Li Chaoge sneered, she was not willing to do it right? Gu Mingke did it, and did not represent her change to believe in Buddhism. She was in the middle of her stomach? There was nowhere to send the fire. By coincidence, Pei Ji’an came together. Li Chaoge looked at Pei Ji’an, his tone? Unkind: “What’s up with you?”

Pei Ji’an choked, his heart? Yes, what does Li Chaoge have to do with him now? Pei Ji’an shook his fist, suppressing his emotions and said: “What the princess wants to do, I naturally have no right to interfere. But today is a banquet for scholars, and my cousin is a scholar and a junior from Pei’s family. I hope the princess will look at Pei’s face? Go up, pay attention to men and women, and don’t cross the border.”

Li Chaoge sneered? With a sneer, he said with disdain: “The Pei family? Is it only teaching? To? Are you men and women different? Is he put me first, I will give? I want to be fair to myself. Is it necessary for you to talk about it?”

Gu Mingke reminded coldly: “I haven’t made any promises. You think too much?”

When I mentioned this Li Chaoge, I got angry. She turned her head and stared at Gu Mingke, raising her eyebrows and said angrily: “When you first agreed, didn’t you just acquiesce in this rule?”

“Only you think so.” Gu Mingke didn’t move at all, and said coldly, “Those so-called unspoken rules are ignoring discipline and law, playing power and dancing privately. As a princess, you actually encourage this. Unhealthy trends? There is really no way to see.”

Li Chaoge wanted to do it again while listening, Pei Ji’an couldn’t bear it, and shouted angrily: “Enough?”

Pei Ji’an is a family? The son of a family. For many years, he is gentle, self-sacrificing, and rarely gets angry. But now, his face was blue, his fists were clenched, and he was obviously angry to the extreme.

Pei Chuyue and Li Changle were both scared by such Pei Ji’an? Even Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge finally stopped talking and looked back at him together.

Pei Ji’an knew he was gaffe? But he couldn’t help it. He originally thought it was Li Chaoge’s wishful thinking, and even Li Chaoge deliberately picked Pei Ji’an’s cousin to start, just to irritate him. So even though Pei Ji’an looked at those two people an eye-catching, in fact, he didn’t take it seriously in his heart. He arranged the marriage between him and Li Changle step by step. In selfishness, was he still sure? Li Chaoge couldn’t let him go.

After all, in his previous life, Li Chaoge was crazy for him, and he even did not hesitate to fight against the people of the world. She loves so desperately, how can it be? Suddenly empathize with each other?

Deep down, Pei Ji’an never believed that Li Chaoge would really fall in love with Gu Mingke. It’s just that Gu Mingke and he are cousins, their looks and temperament are very similar. Li Chaoge doesn’t know if it is because of revenge or sustenance, so he keeps his sight on Gu Mingke frequently. But after all, true and false are different. After the initial freshness passes, Li Chaoge will get tired sooner or later.

Pei Ji’an never expected that Li Chaoge would come for real. The words just broke directly? Pei Ji’an’s calmness and superiority, Pei Ji’an didn’t know what they had talked about before? What, but the latter? The words are enough for Pei Ji’an to get cold and angry?.

Both the inside and the outside indicate that Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke have a substantial relationship, and that Gu Mingke does not want to be responsible. Pei Ji’an originally thought it was just Li Chaoge’s wishful thinking, stubbornly arrogant, who would think that Gu Mingke was the real sluggish, he looked at Guangfeng Jiyue, cold and lonely, but he didn’t say anything, he had a relationship with Li Chaoge, and he didn’t want to be responsible.

Pei Ji’an got angry for a while? Need to speak? He didn’t know whether he should hate Gu Mingke for being inconsistent, or whether he should hate Li Chaoge for remembering whether to eat or not, to be born again, or to be planted on a man. Li Changle and Pei Chuyue stood not far away. They were silent when they heard Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke’s words.

The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are open. Although they are still unmarried girls, they should know and they all know. The Li-Tang royal family has the ancestry of Hu people. After many years of fusion between Hu and Han people in the north, the restraints on “women” are not so strict. It’s not uncommon for women to show their faces publicly. Aristocratic girls and men are close to each other, and they are not virgins even before they are married. It is not uncommon.

Anyway, as long as the marriage is clean and dignified, it will not affect the two families. It is enough to form an alliance. But every noble girl is an asset of the family. The future husband’s family symbolizes their lifetime investment. No matter how magnanimous the man says, it’s impossible in his heart. He doesn’t care at all. So in order to marry a good husband and wife, girls who are valued by the family generally don’t mess around before marriage.

So because Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke were arguing just now, they understood it all at once. Li Changle and Pei Chuyue had a clear heart, but to everyone, they couldn’t show that they understood, and the scene was very embarrassing. Fortunately, at this time, a servant came over and relieved the crowd.

The servant crossed his hands and saluted Li Chaoge and Li Changle: “Princess Shengyuan, Princess Guangning, and the queen please.”

Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke stood by the water, and they both looked conspicuous again. Did you see the entanglement just now? Tianhou took a closer look and found that the two daughters were chasing the man. They felt that they were out of shape, so they sent someone to call Li Chaoge and Li Changle away.

Li Chaoge doesn’t want to go, she and Gu Mingke haven’t said yet? Okay, what are you going to do? But what about Li Chaoge’s words? I didn’t listen, so I had to look back and stare hard? Gu Mingke gave a glance and threatened: “You wait, we are not done with today.”

Gu Mingke was right? This was just a sneer, not at all concerned.

After Li Chaoge and Li Changle left, only Pei’s brothers and sisters and Gu Mingke remained in the same place. Pei Chuyue coughed? She pretended to be innocent and asked: “Cousin, what were you talking about with Princess Sheng Yuan just now? Why did you end up arguing?”

Gu Mingke’s eyes are clear, and he asks his heart? He said without guilt: “Official business.”

Pei Chuyue hesitated to say something but stopped, with an embarrassment on her face. Pei Ji’an didn’t expect it to be at this time? Gu Mingke was still covering up. Pei Ji’an was so angry that he was about to explode. He lowered his voice and warned: “Cousin, you study history, the most reasonable thing is. I hope you don’t do it. Shameless thing.”

Gu Mingke nodded and said calmly: “Nature.”

Li Chaoge actually wanted to influence the outcome of the judicial decision, and wanted him to acquit Ma Linlang, but Gu Mingke immediately rejected her.

Favoritism is absolutely impossible?.

Pei Ji’an almost believed Gu Mingke’s steadfast, bright, and dignified gaze. Pei Ji’an thought he was used to seeing him in the previous life? Intrigue, but this time, he clearly realized for the first time, what is knowing people, knowing the face and not knowing the heart?.

He can’t help it at all? To explain his cousin. He and Gu Mingke have lived in the same house for many years, and it is reasonable to know enough. However, in this short month, Gu Mingke has refreshed his knowledge time and time again. Pei Ji’an is also very curious, how much Gu Mingke still doesn’t know?

Pei Ji’an really couldn’t calm down and stay with Gu Mingke peacefully. Pei Ji’an hurriedly said a word of rudeness, turned and strode away, almost running away. Pei Chuyue called out anxiously? She looked at Gu Mingke, and then looked at her anger? The rushing brother sighed helplessly. She lowered her voice and asked, “Cousin, do you have something unspeakable?”

Gu Mingke twitched his eyebrows, and looked at Pei Chuyue puzzledly: “What?”

Pei Chuyue didn’t know what to say, and she gestured: “It’s… between you and Princess Sheng Yuan. After all, she is a princess. If you have a secret, you can tell me? I will let Afather come forward. Is there a Pei family? Now, she dare not mess around.”

When Gu Mingke heard this, he calmly said: “No, I have already rejected her.”

Li Chaoge tried to rely on relations to influence the outcome of the judgment? Gu Mingke could solve this trivial matter by himself. How could it be necessary for the Pei family to come forward? Gu Mingke was thinking about the case, but when it fell in Pei Chuyue’s ears, he changed his meaning completely.

Today, Pei Chuyue’s feelings were ups and downs, and a girl’s heart seemed to be shattered, soaked in the vinegar jar, bitter, sour, and astringent. Her cousin, who is innocent and unattainable, wants to negotiate a marriage? It is not her, and the cousin is forced by the princess to take power. Is this what she likes? Many years of Bai Yueguang, how can Pei Chuyue? Accept it?

On the other side, the servant led Li Chaoge and Li Changle down the corridor. Li Changle followed Li Chaoge. She quietly raised her head and looked at Li Chaoge’s bright profile face. Gu Mingke, what is going on?”

Li Chaoge glanced coldly? Li Changle glanced: “What do you ask this for?”

The in-house waiter in front is a divas. Li Changle is hard to say? Too much? Straightforwardly, so he hinted: “It’s not interesting, I’m a little worried? That’s it?. I don’t know what A sister and Gu Mingke said today? What? Why are they arguing? Get up? I’ll see if you look up and lower your head later, I’m afraid it’s not good.”

Li Chaoge snorted disdainfully, and said, “It’s just about official business. In public speaking, no matter how bad he is, he won’t give me a trip on official business in the future.”

Li Chaoge was not lightly angry by Gu Mingke today, but she still trusted Gu Mingke’s character. If someone offends Li Chaoge, Li Chaoge will definitely retaliate through his position, but if it’s Gu Mingke, he won’t.

This depends on people’s eyesight, Li Chaoge still has it.

Li Changle raised his eyebrows and quickly glanced at Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke didn’t even look for excuses, and they actually said that it was for official business. How to say? What do they think? Others are fools?

With such a beautiful scenery, Li Chaoge specifically ran to talk about official affairs, and Gu Mingke stood with her for so long, but also for official duties. Say? Who believes when you go out?

Li Changle sneered softly in his heart.

Today’s Jinshi Banquet, the focus was originally on more than 20 new Jinshi Jinshi, but now they have been completely robbed of the limelight by Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke. Li Chaoge is a topical figure, most recently in the eastern capital, and Gu Mingke is the No. 1 Mingfa subject unanimously praised by the Ministry of Rites and Dali Temple. These two people are together, it is difficult not to be noticeable.

Moreover, the two of them got together, and the movement was not small.

The female family members are heartbroken, but Lang Jun is much more lively here. Several officials and eunuchs gathered together and joked: “Gu Mingke is so Yanfu, Princess Sheng Yuan made a special trip to him and said something, until she was called away by the queen. I heard that Princess Sheng Yuan was hunting in the palace before. Right? Gu Mingke is very concerned?”

“Yes. When you didn’t see it, there were so many people in the palace. Princess Sheng Yuan was carrying her skirt. She ran down the steps and walked towards Gu Mingke without looking back. Looking at that posture, I thought these two? People have known each other a long time ago, this is a long-lost reunion.”

The princes looked at each other, they were all young men with blood and Fang Gang, and there was no need to say that they were too clear, at this moment, they all understood. They laughed. Someone saw that Pei Ji’an was there, deliberately leaning over and jokingly said: “Pei Dalang, your family? You are really rich and lucky. Your front foot is engaged to Princess Guangning, and your cousin is hooked on the back foot. Gone? Princess Sheng Yuan. You two brothers can do it!”

Pei Ji’an had a bad feeling, but when he heard this, his emotions turned sharply, and his face became cold immediately: “This is in the palace, please pay attention to your words.”

Everyone? Just kidding? Well, suddenly a disappointed person came out. Everyone was very upset. They all said: “What’s wrong with you most recently? When you mention your cousin and Princess Shengyuan, you are yin and yang strange?.”

Pei Ji’an said with a sullen face, he also wanted to know what happened to him. At this time, many people looked up and looked forward. Pei Ji’an followed up and saw Li Chaoge walking over with a long drape. She stopped under a peach blossom, her vermilion skirt was on the ground, the fringe swayed, and her appearance was brighter than the peach blossom behind her. .

The beauty is like a flower, but the look is cold and frosty. Li Chaoge asked with cold eyes, “Where is Gu Mingke?”

Zhong Langjun was intently attracted by the beauty, and was immediately disappointed when he heard the name of another man. Only Pei Ji’an and Gu Mingke were involved in the scene. Li Chaoge’s words were obviously asking Pei Ji’an.

Pei Ji’an held his face and said: “Cousin is out of the palace?”

Out of the palace? Li Chaoge grinds his teeth secretly, this **** actually ran away? Li Chaoge was called away by the Queen just now. She originally thought it was the result of the Zhen Yaosi incident. However, the Queen was watching flowers and tea with them, and talking about poetry and songs. Li Chaoge knew that the emperor hadn’t been convinced so quickly, and the Queen called them over, it was not really something.

The Queen of Heaven simply distracted them.

Li Chaoge couldn’t help but waited until the Queen to release her. She came back aggressively, but found out that Gu Mingke had gone. Since Gu Mingke has already left the palace, Li Chaoge and Pei Ji’an have nothing to say? She turned around and left without saying anything.

Seeing that Li Chaoge had gone so decisively, all the lords were shocked on the spot. They widened their eyes and couldn’t say anything: “Pei Dalang, Princess Sheng Yuan came here specifically, just to ask you Gu Mingke?”

“So ruthless, don’t you even pretend to be on the stage?”

Pei Ji’an was still excited, Li Chaoge talked to her alone among the crowd, saying that she was different from him. As a result, Li Chaoge talked to him just to ask about Gu Mingke’s whereabouts.

Asked to understand?, his tool is useless?.

Pei Ji’an smiled bitterly, and his heart was chaotic for a while, unable to distinguish his inner feelings.
