Chapter 328 The Man Behind the Scenes
Gu Changze climbed on the old emperor's knee, raised his face to look at him, and quickly flattered him: "I have a sword practice! Last time Your Majesty said that he wanted to see me dance a sword, so I immediately went to learn it. I will dance for Your Majesty now." look!"
After saying that, he turned his head and told the little **** to fetch him a sword.
The old emperor let Gu Changze make troubles.
After finishing the sword dance, Gu Changze put the sword back into its sheath, begging for praise and said: "Your Majesty, am I a good dancer?"
The old emperor smiled lightly: "It looks good, but it lacks some strength."
Gu Changze pouted and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, this is too demanding. How can you be considered vigorous?"
The old emperor pursed his lips and smiled, then suddenly reached out and pulled out the sword in Gu Changze's hand.
In the blink of an eye, the old emperor stood up suddenly, and moved the long sword in his hand, like pear blossoms rustling down, or like a dragon swimming in the sea, and finally pulled a sword flower, and inserted the long sword back into the scabbard in Gu Changze's hand with precision inside.
The whole set of swordsmanship is flowing like clouds and flowing water, and the figure is as graceful as a dragon swimming—although the old emperor himself is over fifty years old, he is still unabated and has an extraordinary bearing.
Gu Changze was fascinated by the sight, and it was not until the buzzing sound of the long sword returning to its sheath that he woke up.
He couldn't hide his admiration and said: "Your Majesty's sword is not old, and his swordsmanship is outstanding."
After hearing this, the old emperor didn't see joy on his face, but his expression darkened.
His swordsmanship is from Yan Chong Taoism.
Back then, in order to pursue Yan Chongdao, he brazenly pestered Yan Chongdao to teach him how to practice swords.
Yan Chongdao was indifferent to him at first, but in the end he was so worn out that he reluctantly agreed to teach him sword practice...
Scenes of the past flashed before his eyes, and the old emperor suddenly became very depressed.
He turned and left the White Lotus Palace without saying a word, with an indescribably desolate back.
Seeing that the old emperor left suddenly, Gu Changze quickly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Respectfully, Your Majesty."
The other end.
Princess Mansion.
"Bang!"
"Wow!"
"Snapped!"
Princess Leping grabbed an antique vase and threw it on the ground. The room was filled with the sound of shattering items, which made people's hairs tremble.
Your Majesty, everyone hid away, for fear of being angered by the master.
Nanny Li watched for a while, and couldn't help persuading: "Princess, sit down and rest for a while, don't get too angry."
Princess Leping lost her temper when she came back from the palace. Whenever she saw something in the room, she would throw it on the ground, regardless of its value.
No one knew the depression and anger in her heart, let alone the sense of crisis in her heart.
When she was eight years old, she broke into her father's study.
There is a picture hanging on the wall, which shows a majestic general.
At that time, she could not read much, but she could recognize the general's birthday written on it.
That painting was supposed to be a birthday gift that the father wanted to give to the general, and somehow it was still in the hands of the father.
However, this is not what she is concerned about. What she is concerned about is - the general's birthday is on the same day as hers.
What a coincidence, what a coincidence.
At that time, she was amazed, and continued wandering around in the study, only to find that the picture on the screen facing the desk was still the general.
She still remembers to this day that there is a painting that reads - "A look at Xu Pingsheng".
Good one Gu Pingsheng.
Her name happened to be "Huo Yigu".
She has always been a precocious person, so many coincidences collided, and she understood the key at that time.
No wonder...
Obviously her biological mother was just a lowly court lady, and after being visited by her father once, she never cared about her again.
But after his father learned of her birth by accident, although he still neglected her biological mother, he loved her surprisingly.
Moreover, many times the father was clearly looking at her, but she always felt that the father was not really looking at her, but as if he was looking at someone else.
At that time, she didn't know the reason, but now everything has an explanation.
Thinking about it... Is the father deceiving himself and others to regard her as the reincarnation of General Yan Chongdao, thinking that the lover of this life has become a daughter to enjoy pampering?
Princess Leping knew very well in her heart that if her conjecture was correct, then all her doting came from General Yan.
The more she resembles this General Yan, the more she will be favored by her father.
She began to inquire about the deeds of General Yan Chongdao intentionally or unconsciously, deliberately imitating the general's behavior.
She knew that although General Yan used his soldiers like a god, he was domineering - he treated his servants very harshly, and it was common for him to whip his servants carelessly after drunk.
She also knew that although General Yan was very intelligent, he always did things on a whim, and he often went fishing for three days and posted on the net for two days.
She also knew that the general had excellent equestrian skills, superb arrow skills, and was good at using a sword.
So, she deliberately imitated General Yan Chongdao's temperament, no matter good or bad, she learned it together.
She deliberately mentioned to her father that she wanted to learn horseback riding and archery—although she was actually not interested in these.
She obviously doesn't like to draw a bow, but because she wants to be like Yan Chongdao as much as possible, she forces herself to practice archery again and again, and her fingers are covered with calluses.
I spent so much hard work to get the pet, that boy easily won the favor of the emperor just because he looks like General Yan Chongdao.
Why? !
Princess Leping was furious, and asked sharply: "Who on earth offered this kind of person to my father?!"
The servant in charge of inquiring about the news said in a low voice: "Reporting to the princess, it is the fourth prince. The man who was consecrated is named Gu Changze, and it is said that he is very similar to the late General Yan."
As soon as the words fell, a sharp whip was slapped on the servant's face.
Princess Leping held a long whip in her hand and cursed angrily: "How long ago did this princess order you to inquire about that beauty?!"
"You only reported the results today, which made this princess caught off guard in the palace today!"
"My princess has already met Gu Changze in person, so why don't you know who he looks like? Do you still need to report?"
"What is the use of such waste as you in my princess mansion?!"
Princess Leping whipped the servant several times as she spoke, but she was still puzzled and said angrily, "Go down and get twenty sticks yourself!"
The servant responded with a smile, and retreated tremblingly.
Princess Leping whipped a whip in the air fiercely, cursing: "What are these things? Just for the throne, they used these indecent tricks! My fourth brother really loses face!"
Nanny Li shrank her head tremblingly, thinking to herself, who would dare to arrange a prince like this except her princess?
The other end.
Fourth Prince's Mansion.
"Thank you so much Brother Gu this time." The fourth prince smiled and held up his wine glass and said, "If you weren't willing to part with Gu Changze and give it to me, I wouldn't be able to give Gu Changze to my father."
