After rebirth, the princess made and dragged

Chapter 24 Love and hate are all in vain

Gu Mingshu was holding the chopsticks with a mouthful of old blood stuck in her throat.

Although she knew that after the key was handed over, this man would definitely come over to hold him accountable. But why didn't he come early or late, but why did he come during dinner?

She finally treated herself to a meal by cooking, but she really didn't want to see any unappetizing characters hanging around.

"Cuiwei, just go and tell me that I'm not feeling well. I won't accept her today."

She struggled, still wanting to defend her right to enjoy a wonderful lunch.

Cui Wei stood there and didn't dare to move. It wasn't that she was disobedient, it was... the dishes cooked by the young lady filled the garden with fragrance. It was not convincing at all for her to bring such a strong fragrance to tell the prince that the young lady was unwell!

Nuan Feng persuaded with a black face: "Miss, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. It is said outside that you have left all the work to Concubine Yun, and you are enjoying yourself. And when you are cooking, even the wild cats outside Wutong Garden

I’ve heard your hearty laughter, so it’s not appropriate to pretend to be sick.”

Gu Mingshu touched her nose and pretended to be angry: "I haven't even tried yet, so you come and tear me down. However, it really can't be like this. I asked him to maintain the status quo on the carriage that day, which already pissed him off. I'm afraid he will be torn apart if I try again."

fall out."

She frowned and glanced at the dining table, then pointed at the small jar of daughter red and said: "Put it away, he won't drink this!"

Cui Wei put away the wine quickly.

Gu Mingshu looked at the fruits of her labor again, still a little unwilling to accept it: "The wine has been collected, otherwise the vegetables should also be collected?"

Nuanfeng said helplessly: "Miss, I heard that the prince has already passed the vestibule. Even if we go out with the bowl now, we can still meet him head-on."

"We'll just meet each other." She had cooked so many meals for him in her previous life, but never finished them properly. She had a bit of a psychological shadow about having dinner with him.

Nuanfeng said: "But if this is the case, in less than half a day, the whole government will know that you don't let the prince eat here. Although you don't care about this, what if the old lady blames you? It will be the reputation of the general's residence that is tired!"

Gu Mingshu really didn't care whether the old concubine was to blame or not, but she had to consider the reputation of the General's Mansion.

"That's all, invite him over." She could only compromise.

After Qin Yue entered the door, he saw the delicious side dishes and tempting soup on the table, and a feeling of irony arose in his heart out of thin air.

For the first time, the thought "This woman is married to the right woman" came to his mind.

He had no idea that before that, Gu Mingshu was racking her brains to prevent him from coming in for dinner.

"Your Majesty, please sit down quickly. This is a meal cooked by the young lady herself!" Nuanfeng smiled and laid out the bowls and chopsticks for Qin Yue.

Gu Mingshu rolled her eyes in her heart and rolled her eyes to the sky. Nuanfeng was obviously very clever, so why couldn't she understand that she didn't want to eat with Qin Yue at all?

She reluctantly stood up and blessed him: "Have you eaten, Your Majesty? If..." If you have eaten, go and wait for me next door. I will come after eating.

"I haven't." Qin Yue didn't give her a chance to say the rest of the sentence, and sat down on the main seat.

Gu Mingshu served him soup almost as a reflex.

But after taking two spoonfuls, she realized that this was no longer a life where she had to compromise.

With a "ding" sound, she put down the spoon and took the soup bowl and sat opposite Qin Yue: "Your Majesty, my rule here is to do your own thing. Whatever you want to eat, you can do it yourself."

Then he turned to the two maids and said, "You can go out too, there is no need to wait here."

She was afraid that if these two maids continued to stand, they would make up some nonsense like "the lady prepared this table specially for the prince."

As for Qin Yue, he has never treated her favorably since he married her back. This level of offense will no longer make him angry.

He started to ladle soup and vegetables by himself, eating more comfortably than Gu Mingshu.

Gu Mingshu was a man of two generations, and this was the first meal he and Qin Yue had without any quarrels, overturning of the table, or interruptions.

"The craftsmanship is good." Qin Yue said after the meal.

Gu Mingshu raised her eyebrows unexpectedly and thought to herself: Men are really cheap. You hold him in your heart and are infatuated with him. He treats you like worn-out shoes and feels dirty even if he takes another look at them. You are cold-blooded and trying every possible means to leave.

Hey, guess what? He learned to speak human language to you!

"Not as good as the chef at home." She smiled modestly and changed the subject, "I wonder why the prince is here?"

Of course, Qin Yue couldn't say that he came to see her because he heard that she collapsed from exhaustion.

"We've eaten a lot, so why not go to the garden and talk while eating," he suggested.

When Gu Mingshu heard this, she suddenly couldn't help but laugh. This smile was neither happy nor angry, but rather self-deprecating.

Qin Yue frowned and looked at her in confusion: "Why are you laughing?"

"Nothing." Gu Mingshu shook her head, smiled and spread her hands, "Don't you want to take a walk? Your Majesty, please!"

In her previous life, she begged him to accompany her to admire the moon and flowers. She begged him a hundred times and coaxed her a thousand times, but he only agreed once. But that time, he couldn't keep the date because of Ruan Meiniang...

The garden in April is full of spring flowers and gentle summer breeze, making it comfortable and beautiful.

The two of them strolled around and admired the flowers, and Qin Yue would occasionally tell her about the origins or flowering periods of the flowers. The atmosphere was not awkward.

He turned out to be exactly what she thought he would be when she was infatuated with him, he was gentle and interesting, and he was a handsome gentleman who could take care of others.

But Gu Mingshu had seen him at his most ferocious appearance, and looking at his gentle and gentlemanly side, she just felt like a creepy painted skin.

She would rather see Qin Yue look at her coldly than see such a misleading mask.

Since he doesn't want to take off the mask, let her tear it off!

"Your Majesty, actually you don't have to be so careful with me. I used to like you very much, so after the imperial edict granting marriage came down, I was really happy. From this point of view, you have not misunderstood me, let alone

Ashamed of this.”

Qin Yue, who was talking and laughing all the way, suddenly fell silent.

He understood this sentence. Gu Mingshu was saying: I don't love you, nor do I hate you.

"Why?"

He endured it, but still couldn't help but ask. Even though he said he liked him so enthusiastically before, why did he just take a wrong step and reach the point where love and hate are all gone?

After knowing the truth, he really thought about having a good life with her.

Gu Mingshu raised her little face, looked directly into his eyes, and said seriously: "There is a sour saying among the people, 'Love that you don't know starts from the beginning will only go deeper.' I don't agree with it."

"I have always known where it comes from and where it ends. For me, the point is not what you did wrong, but what you did. What you did is contrary to the reason why I loved you, so my feelings are natural

It no longer exists. But--"

"But it's not your fault that you don't like me. It's not your fault that you're angry because you were forced to get married. What you did at the wedding because you were angry isn't actually wrong. So you don't have to apologize, and I don't have to forgive."

Qin Yue seemed to have been woken up by a basin of cold water poured on him by Duotou.

In the past, he didn't think Gu Mingshu was very important, but she really didn't care about him anymore, and he felt empty again, as if he had lost something important.

Reluctantly, it grows wildly like grass in spring, trying to fill up the empty space in my heart, but it fills up more and more, which makes people panic.

But his reason and self-respect do not allow him to do anything that is disgraceful.

"But you're married to me, and life has to go on." He said calmly, "Gu Mingshu, what do you want?"

When Gu Mingshu heard this, she smiled and said, "Why does the prince ask this again? Didn't I already say that as we agreed before, for a period of one year, I will work for you, will you let me go free?"

Qin Yue blurted out: "But I don't want to let you go."

Gu Mingshu couldn't laugh anymore and looked at him in shock and disbelief: "Qin Yue! Are you thinking that I don't have tea on hand, so I can't pour it on you a second time?"
