Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

However, the only person who did not express his position was Gu Shu.

After Gu Zisu received the imperial edict, the nanny who came to deliver the edict left.

Compared to Gu Zirong and the others' happiness,

Gu Shu remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

That afternoon,

Gu Shu called Gu Zisu to the study.

Mother and son were silent and quiet.

…

…

"You..." Gu Shu spoke first.

"Are you really willing to get married?"

Gu Zisu lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Zisu, royal matters are not that simple. Are you really willing? Have you thought about it?"

Gu Shu asked again, emphasizing the words.

Gu Zisu still nodded gently, "Zisu is willing, mother."

Gu Shu sat on the chair, slowly clasped his hands and said nothing.

After a while,

She sighed slightly and stood up.

From a bookshelf and cabinet on the side, in a hidden corner, I took down an exquisite small box.

The box is very clean with no dust.

It looks like it has been cleaned regularly and is extremely well protected.

Gu Shu opened the box.

Inside, lying quietly - is a pure white hairpin.

The texture of the hairpin is obviously different from ordinary hairpins. It is pure white without any impurities.

There isn't much decoration on it,

Inside the house, even during the day, you can clearly see it glowing slightly with a bright white light.

It looks very much like mutton-fat jade, with a gentle touch and not the slightest bit of coldness.

But compared to mutton-fat jade, it is much harder. It is quenched at high temperatures and made through thousands of hammerings.

It is an extremely rare and precious jewelry.

It’s extremely valuable and used to make hairpins – it’s a bit of a waste.

Gu Shu gently handed the box to Gu Zisu.

"You are getting married, and as a mother, I have nothing to give you."

"this is for you."

"In the future, if Her Fifth Highness treats you badly, she will come back. Mother can support you."

"..." Gu Zisu suddenly raised his eyes, a little startled.

His eyes moved slightly, and a trace of astonishment flashed through his eyes.

After so many years, this seemed to be the first time he looked at her face.

He is no longer as young as he once was, and there are wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

But she remained stern and unsmiling.

only,

When she gave him the thing, her eyebrows softened.

Rarely, a mother's tenderness is revealed.

despite this,

Gu Zisu no longer knew what to say.

The relationship between mother and son has long become estranged.

Now like this,

He already takes family affection very lightly.

He doesn't blame her,

However, the admiration for her that I had back then has long since disappeared.

Gu Zisu lowered his head slightly, narrowed his eyes, still respectful,

"Thank you mother."

The box was gently taken.

After Gu Zisu left,

Gu Shu sat on the chair and remained silent for a long time.

to the end,

She looked out the window calmly,

There is nothing in the blue sky outside the window,

It was empty, leaving only a clear and beautiful blue.

It seems that once upon a time, that figure in blue would have a smile on his face.

Gu Shu watched quietly and murmured in a low voice,

"Asu, our child is getting married."

"I'm sorry Ashu is useless, let him marry into the royal family."

"Obviously I promised you before that he would live a happy and ordinary life, but now -"

"If you were here, you would definitely scold me."

She seemed to remember something and suddenly smiled,

He was obviously smiling, but his eyes were moist.

"Asu, from now on, there will be nothing left in this family."

One last thing about you,

Finally, it’s time to leave.

"You will take good care of him, right?"
