Chapter 21:

Gu Suier looked up in surprise, and saw a woman with a red skirt that was opened and tied around her waist, revealing the indigo trousers underneath, with riding boots on her feet.
This woman was holding a long whip in her hand, her face turned red with resentment, and she gritted her teeth and came towards her.
"Look at the whip!" The woman couldn't help but said when she saw Gu Suier, stretched out her whip, and threw it over.
The tail of the whip passed across the sky, making a harsh sound.
Gu Suier's blood gathered above her head almost instantly.
I knew in my heart that the whip was about to hit his face, even as if he could smell the blood that followed, but he could only watch it.
When it came to life and death, her hands and feet seemed to lose consciousness.
At this moment, Xiao Heng didn't know how to stretch out his hand.
When the whip stopped, Gu Suier only saw the woman gritted her teeth and stared at Xiao Heng angrily.
She held the whip firmly in her hand, trying to pull the whip out of Xiao Heng's hand.
However, with great effort, there was no way to shake the whip at all.
"Xiao Heng, how could you treat me like this!" Tears burst into her eyes, and she stared at Xiao Heng bitterly: "Let go of my whip!"
When Xiao Heng heard this, instead of letting go of the whip, he pulled the whip directly with his hand.
The strength was too great, and the woman's body was suddenly pulled forward, and then the whip was removed from her hand and fell into the air. She fell forward embarrassedly, and finally knelt down on the edge of the pavilion with a snap.
If one step is short, she will fall into the lake next to her.
All of this happened in an instant. It can be said that when the woman fell to the ground, Gu Suier still didn't understand why the expected terrible pain did not come.
After that, she sat there limply, playing back the scene that her eyes had just seen in her brain, and slowly understood.
After a fluke escaped a catastrophe, she was struck by fear of panic. She was cold and her hands and feet trembled. The little tadpole in her belly also seemed to feel this kind of shock. She bounced in a certain part of her belly tightly. She held Xiao Heng's clothes tightly with one hand and stroked her belly with the other, murmured in a vague voice, soothing. Tadpole.
She was very scared in her heart, but she was even more worried about her little tadpoles.
Her little tadpole is still a little fetus, he must have felt something, he must be frightened.
Xiao Heng lowered her head and watched her white fingertips trembling and stroking her belly hard. The words murmured in her mouth were faint and vague. He understood that she was frightened and stupid, and instead held her hand and said, "It's okay."
She seemed to be used to muttering to herself in such a low voice when she was emotionally shocked.
He didn't hear what she said last time, but this time he heard clearly.
She said "Daddy is here".
Daddy is him.
Xiao Heng always knew that the child in her womb was his own and that he was going to be a father, but this feeling was still very unspecific, just thinking about it, he didn't know what it was like to be a father.
But now, Gu Suier said, Dad is here.
When he heard these words, he was more aware of the fragility of the girl from the country than ever before, and what kind of delicate little things the child in her stomach would be.
That needs his protection.
He held her trembling hand and looked at her with his lips, his dark eyes bursting with unprecedented emotion at this moment.
At this time, a group of people rushed up from the side hula la, it was the guards, the guards in the palace, and there were maids, in fact, they should be called maids.
The maid and the guard rushed over and helped the woman next to her.
The woman is the Zhaoyang princess of the dynasty, and the daughter of the queen today.
After being supported by the palace maid, Princess Zhaoyang raised her hand and wiped her tears, staring at Xiao Heng in front of her and the big belly woman beside Xiao Heng, she bit her silver teeth to pieces.
"Xiao Heng, you are too much!" She said loudly: "You have not married your wife yet, so you let a lowly slave and maid conceive a child!"
Xiao Heng, who was holding Gu Suier's hand, didn't know how many feelings he felt at this time. Hearing this, he glanced at her indifferently and said unhappily, "What's up to you?"
"What is it to me? What is it to me?"
Princess Zhaoyang smiled instead of anger: "Don't you know that my mother is going to marry me to you?!"
Xiao Heng didn't even bother to watch it this time. He helped Gu Suier to go to the greenhouse.
Princess Zhaoyang stomped: "Hey, you are not allowed to go!"
As soon as she said this, the guards nearby showed up and stopped Xiao Heng and Gu Suier.
Poor Gu Suier, a small family from the countryside, has lived in the Hou Mansion ever since he left his home and arrived in Yanjing City. The people in the Hou Mansion are kind, smiling and smiling. The greatest unkindness he has ever experienced is Xiao Xu began to yell at her, but was quickly suppressed by Xiao Jin's help.
Where did she see this battle!
The little tadpoles in her belly kicked over the river to Haiti, as if they had hit her stomach, and a burst of nausea struck her. She leaned against Xiao Heng's arms with a pale face, and her hands trembled more and more.
Xiao Heng's expression was originally cold, and there was no slight fluctuation in his black eyes.
He always knew that Princess Zhaoyang was savage and whipped people, which was also her usual temperament. With him, Gu Suier didn't hurt him, so he didn't want to care about her.
But now, hearing Princess Zhaoyang's arrogant words, his face gradually turned dark.
He raised his head, glanced at Princess Zhaoyang, and said coldly: "Your mother wants to marry you to me?"
Princess Zhaoyang looked at his eyes that were as cold as the snow of winter, and she was obviously dismissive. She obviously ignored herself, but she just liked it.
His face that could not pick out any blemishes was extremely handsome, but this handsome image was most suitable for winter. The more cold and indifferent, the less there was no smoke and fire, the more it made her obsessed with death.
So now that he sees it like this, her heart will melt.
He blushed and said with a grotesque voice: "Xiao Heng, you don't know... the queen said before..."
But who knew that Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows and said indifferently, "But I never promised to marry you before."
After saying this, he supported Gu Suier, flicked away the long swords of the guards, and went straight down the steps.
The guards who showed the guys turned out to be like slime, no one dared to stop him with a knife.
Who dares?
Who didn't know, the third son of Xiao, who was in the Ruiding Marquis Mansion, was the most respected celebrity of the emperor.
At this moment, the third son of Xiao said coolly.
"It will never be in the future."
Princess Zhaoyang on the steps was so angry that she almost turned her back.
Princess Zhaoyang is the only daughter of Emperor Jingkang, the daughter of the emperor, and her favorite daughter.
Emperor Jingkang didn't have many bloodlines, but the prince had three, but the princess had only one.
Can you not pamper me?
Princess Zhaoyang lived to be sixteen years old and had never encountered anything unsatisfactory. As long as she opened her mouth, the surrounding mothers and eunuchs would do it for her.
What the can't do for the mother, the empress will also do it for her.
It can be said that she has everything she wants, and there is nothing she cannot want.
This situation continued until she was thirteen years old, and finally she encountered the biggest problem in life, and that was Xiao Heng.
At the age of thirteen, she was in love with Xiao Heng crazily.
She once hung portraits of Xiao Heng in her bedroom, and she wrote Xiao Heng's name over and over again when she was practicing calligraphy. She didn't know how to eat and sleep, and she felt that there were no boys in this world except Xiao Heng.
She felt that if she could marry Xiao Heng, she would definitely die.
That's what Princess Zhaoyang said to her father and queen.
When Emperor Jingkang heard this, he was displeased, saying whether his daughter was crazy, and handed it over to the queen to take care of him. However, the queen tried everything and still couldn't make Princess Zhaoyang fall in love.
Reluctantly, the queen promised Princess Zhaoyang that she would go to Emperor Jingkang and ask Emperor Jingkang to give her the marriage.
Princess Zhaoyang was naturally overjoyed when she heard that her mother had agreed. She thought it was just a gift. Since the mother and the queen had agreed, the father and the emperor would not have to object.
What she naturally did not expect was that Jing Kangdi had never agreed to this marriage, and thought it was extremely funny.
As for Xiao Heng, he can still be "friendly" to other women, such as Xiao Jin, and "light and polite" to Xiao Xu, but to Princess Zhaoyang, he would ignore and be indifferent.
So today, when Princess Zhaoyang rushed to deal with Gu Suier, he did not hesitate for a moment, and directly embarrassed Princess Zhaoyang.
For a princess, it is really embarrassing to throw a dog on the pavilion chewing shit.
The shameful news of Princess Zhaoyang quickly spread throughout Guiyuan.
Everyone talked about why Princess Zhaoyang was ashamed.
The rich and famous women in Yanjing are naturally different from the long-tongued women in the country, but everyone is a woman. No matter which class they go to, they have a common hobby: gossip and gossip.
So soon everyone knew that the big belly woman next to Xiao San Gongzi was his new concubine.
This little concubine is pregnant with the child of Xiao San Gongzi.
The third son of Xiao was very fond of this concubine. This time, he specially brought her to Guiyuan to relax, and he personally helped her to look around the sweet-scented osmanthus. I heard that he had booked a room with the name of the warm house early for that person. The concubine rests.
This rumor soon spread throughout Guiyuan.
Xiao Heng led Gu Suier to the conservatory. The furnishings in the conservatory were all new and not old. Ordinary people couldn't see the doorway, but only knowledgeable people knew that they were old stuff.
Mother An came over, made the bed for Gu Suier, served Gu Suier down, and tucked the quilt for her.
Looking up, he saw that Xiao Heng hadn't left, but had been standing by the side.
Madam An was a little surprised and hurriedly bowed: "The little lady may be frightened. Let her rest for a while."
Mother An meant to let Xiao Heng go out first. She knew Gu Suier, if Xiao Heng was there, Gu Suier would definitely be uneasy.
But Xiao Heng didn't seem to understand her at all, and said quietly: "Okay, you go down first."
She goes down?
Mother An looked at the little lady who was lying on the couch reluctantly, but since the third master had ordered, she had to go out.
When Xiao Heng watched Mother An go out, he took a chair and sat down by the side, guarding Gu Suier.
Gu Suier lay there with her eyes closed, but actually didn't fall asleep at all.
How could it be possible to fall asleep, the sound of the whip passing through the air is still in my ears.
At that time, if Xiao Heng's movements were a little later, the whip would directly slap her face.
She lay there dazedly, and after a long time, she slowly reacted from the shock.
After reacting, she looked at Xiao Heng next to her and blinked.
"What do you want to ask?" Xiao Heng asked in a low voice.
Her eyes were moist and clear, as if she could speak.
So now, he knew at a glance that she had doubts, wanted to ask, but didn't dare.
"Are you in trouble?"
Although she was scared and silly at the time, she also heard that it was a princess, and everyone around her called her that.
The princess was the emperor's daughter, she knew it.
"Huh?" Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't quite understand what she meant.
"Today you seem to have offended... princess?" Gu Suier's chin was in the quilt, only a small white face was exposed, her palms were big, and her eyes were wide open.
Xiao Heng looked at her thin and delicate appearance, and suddenly remembered a rabbit he had raised when he was a child.
A pitiful little rabbit with red eyes and white fur.
"Go to sleep."
He raised his hand, stroked those eyes, and asked her to close.
"but……"
She was still worried, worried about him.
I'm afraid he will get into big trouble because of this.
"You don't need to worry about this."
His tone was light, as if he didn't take the matter seriously.
Mentioning that Jin was covered by her, he ordered: "Close your eyes and sleep."
"Ok."
She closed her eyes in a soft, shallow voice.
