Chapter 94 Picking up Gu Peiyan from get off work
"The dragon has nine sons, and they are all different. You have one good son, the emperor, which is enough to support you. So be it if I'm a bit useless."
Su Yizhuo was determined to carry out the "useless snack" slogan to the very end.
He didn't want to be the emperor.
The Emperor picked up a chess piece and smashed it precisely onto Su Yizhuo's forehead: "You and the third prince, I'm too lazy to even talk to you. Can't you learn from the Crown Prince?"
"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Don't make yourself angry."
Su Yizhuo rubbed his forehead, which was throbbing from being hit, and responded with a grin.
Consort Wei gently comforted the annoyed emperor: "Yes, Your Majesty, Yizhou is a capable child, and it's quite good for Yizhuo to be a carefree person under his brother's wing."
"You spoil him too much. A doting mother spoils her son." The Emperor's anger was calmed down by the Consort, but he still couldn't help but continue to complain: "That boy Xiuming has made great contributions in battle, but Marquis Zhongxin has not even asked to be made the heir apparent. I don't know why Marquis Anyang is in such a hurry."
Consort Wei also sighed, "Indeed, Xiu Ming is a good child. I wonder why his brother hasn't come to request an official title yet."
Wei Liangzhe and Wei Xiuming did indeed discuss this matter.
The Marquis's mansion only had one male heir, Wei Xiuming, so it didn't really matter to him whether he became the heir sooner or later.
The situation of the Marquis of Anyang was incomparable to that of their family.
"Never mind, they all have their own plans, and I'm too lazy to bother with them." The Emperor waved his hand helplessly: "It's more relaxing to play chess with you."
Su Yizhuo thought the emperor would stay for a while and then leave, but he didn't expect the emperor to stay for the whole day.
Fortunately, the emperor was merciful and allowed him to stay until after lunch before giving him his freedom: "Go do what you need to do, don't stay here and get in my way."
Su Yizhu tilted his head and stared wide-eyed.
He kept complaining to himself: "Hey, is this really how it is? Didn't you tell me to stay put here? How come I'm the one in the way now?"
But he couldn't very well confront his mother, the Imperial Concubine, so he could only take a deep breath and turn to leave.
The weather was nice, and it was rare that the Crown Prince hadn't come to "cause him trouble" today. He planned to take a stroll around the newly renovated palace that would soon belong to him.
He also wanted to bring Wei Dongning along so he could see which room she liked and arrange for it to be decorated to her liking.
If he ever has a falling out with Gu Peiyan in the future, his sister will always have a place to stay here.
Wei Dongning was quite surprised when she heard that Su Yizhuo had come to see her: "How come he has time to come and play with me?"
"I miss you, of course." Xiao Wu replied without hesitation, "Or maybe I'm planning to sell you. It's up to you which version you believe."
Wei Dongning didn't believe any of Xiao Wu's claims, but she still happily changed her clothes and went out with Xiao Fu.
The Prince's Mansion was located just across the street from the Gu Mansion, so Su Yizhuo and Wei Dongning chose to walk there.
Upon arriving at the Prince's Mansion, Su Yizhuo introduced her to the various sights within the mansion while sharing his thoughts with her.
His proud expression practically screamed "Praise me!"
Unexpectedly, Wei Dongning rolled her eyes at him: "Even if we really had a fight, why can't I be the one to kick him out? Besides, you should also consider Yueyue's feelings, right? She is the future mistress of the manor."
Su Yizhuo's expression froze instantly.
He did indeed overlook that.
Frustrated, he casually found a clean spot to sit down, his head bowed so that his emotions were unreadable: "Honestly, if it weren't for the arranged marriage, I really wouldn't want to marry her. It's not that I have a problem with her, it's just that she's so young. If I were to actually make a move on her, I would feel like an animal."
Wei Dongning also sat down and looked down at the tips of her shoes.
After a long pause, she turned to Su Yizhuo and said, "I'm not asking you to do anything right now, but to marry her. Why don't you just wait until she grows up?"
"I just feel uneasy about it." Su Yizhuo rubbed his face. "I haven't asked you yet, how come you're so accepting of marriage?"
"Back then, I didn't know you were coming along too. I thought that if I got married, it wouldn't be so easy to find out that I wasn't the original owner," Wei Dongning explained to him, while mentally giving Xiao Wu the middle finger.
Xiao Wu tried to defend himself in Wei Dongning's mind: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that someone won't let me tell you!"
It's just a subordinate entity; it can't control the decisions of its master.
If it could speak, it would not hide anything from Ningbao.
Its heart for Ningbao is expressed in four large characters.
Heaven bears witness!
Su Yizhuo raised his hand and patted Wei Dongning's head twice: "Fortunately, Gu Peiyan treats you fairly well, so I can feel a little more at ease."
"Yueyue is a good girl. Even if you don't have any feelings for her, don't make her too sad."
“I know. If Gu Peiyan treats you badly, just tell your brother, and I'll back you up.”
Xiao Wu interjected rather inappropriately, "You two are acting like an old father and mother now."
As a result, Wei Dongning ruthlessly confiscated her snacks for another day.
After walking around the Prince's mansion for a long time, Wei Dongning's legs were almost sore: "You really have to be rich to live in an estate."
"My house is your house too. Come stay anytime you want."
Su Yizhuo still hadn't given up on the idea of reserving a room for Wei Dongning.
He thought Zhong Shuyue would probably agree, since she and Ningning seemed to have a pretty good relationship.
"Know it."
Su Yizhu patted Wei Dongning's head, just about to ask her if she wanted to go out for dinner together, when the guard beside him ran over and announced some terrible news:
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince invites you to the Eastern Palace."
Su Yizhuo tried his best to restrain himself, his face almost contorted in pain, before he managed to utter that curse.
I praised him excessively this morning.
Wei Dongning suppressed a laugh and nudged him from behind: "Go on, wasn't your biggest wish to have an older brother? You wouldn't be happy if you actually had one."
"This isn't a brother, this is a king." Su Yizhu cursed under his breath, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal another time. I'll take you home first."
Wei Dongning and Xiao Wu had just confirmed Gu Peiyan's "off work" time when she waved her hand and refused, saying, "No need, I'll go pick up Gu Peiyan."
Su Yizhuo's expression was complicated: "Little sister, promise me you won't be love-struck, okay?"
"Okay... my foot, who told you I'm in a relationship?"
They were clearly just living together as a couple.
Gu Peiyan was kind to her only because they were husband and wife in name only.
Su Yizhuo's expression became even more complicated, this time it was one of sympathy.
Anyone with eyes could see Gu Peiyan's feelings for Ningning, except Ningning, who was completely blind to them.
He had also heard something about Gu Peiyan being drugged.
He had to admit that he admired Gu Peiyan quite a bit.
In that situation, he didn't go out and mess around or make any advances towards Ningning, which is enough to show his respect for her.
Sigh, let's wait until Ningning comes to her senses before we talk about it.
If Ningning falls in love with someone else in the future, then she will have to apologize to Gu Peiyan.
After finishing his official business, Gu Peiyan was about to return home when a colleague called out to him, "Brother Gu, wait a moment."
"What brings you here, Brother Chen?"
Chen Mingde strode forward and put his arm around Gu Peiyan's shoulder in a friendly manner: "It's still early, and I'd like to invite you for a drink, Brother Gu. Would you do me the honor?"
Gu Peiyan looked up at the sky, about to politely decline, when she heard Wei Dongning's voice coming from directly in front of her: "Would you like to go home together, Lord Gu?"
