Chapter 8 Sisters’ alienation
Unknowingly, it has been three months since I entered the house, and except for Yuan Xin, the person who led the ring has not appeared again.

Apart from those annoying lectures and rules, Gu Yuchu had a very comfortable life and his injuries were much better.

Qi Zhen also came to visit from time to time, checking on the results of her studies during these days.

Gu Yuchu was very smart, and his poetry books were taught by a teacher at Sanhang Academy, so there was no problem.Other skills also quickly understood the essence, but the words floating on the paper were really unflattering.

Today, Qi Jian returned to the palace very early. Before entering Linyue Pavilion, he saw her practicing calligraphy carelessly from a distance and became very angry.

I saw that she was neither standing nor sitting, half-crouched, leaning on the case, holding her chin in one hand, and holding a pen in the other hand to draw talismans.

Gu Yuchu inadvertently raised his eyes and saw the opening of the frame. One second he was carefree, but the next second he stood up straight and pretended to use ink freely.

The man didn't say anything, but walked directly to her side and looked at her "masterpiece" carefully.

"Your Majesty." Gu Yuchu said hello respectfully, and was so nervous that he almost broke the wolf-hair pen in his hand.

"Continue." Qi Jian raised his eyebrows and said deliberately.

But how could Gu Yuchu be willing to make a fool of herself in front of him? She took a slight step forward and asked him to show her a lesson.

Qi Jian stepped forward with a smile, grabbed her waist without warning, and held her writing hand.

Gu Yuchu was extremely frightened and couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, but his body was still restrained and reserved.She tried hard to persuade herself to wake up and tried to break away, but Qi Zhi hugged her tighter.

"do not move."

He ordered with a curled up corner of his mouth, and then began to teach her stroke by stroke how to start writing confidently, how to turn around neatly, and how to stop cleanly.

Their faces almost touched each other!

Gu Yuchu's thoughts had long been flying to the sky, and he was not willing to stick to this square inch of paper and pen.

"Concentrate!"

Qi Jian seemed to sense the distraction of the woman in front of him, and tapped her on the head with his pen, pretending to scold her. Only then did the woman pull back her trembling soul.

At this moment, a woman who was seventy-nine similar to Gu Yuchu but had more delicate and charming facial features stood blankly at the door, taking in a panoramic view of the two of them being intimate just now.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she quickly put away the sadness in her heart. She smiled brightly with moist eyes, and called softly:
"elder sister!"

"Yu Xin!"

Gu Yuchu looked at the almost unrecognizable sister in front of him in disbelief, then rushed out of Qi Jian's arms, stepped forward and took her hands, his eyes blurred for a moment.

After not seeing each other for ten years, the two sisters hugged each other and cried with tears in their eyes.

"Okay, okay, it's a happy event to meet again after a long separation, why are you crying?"

Qi Jian shook his head helplessly, stepped forward and patted them both on the shoulders gently.

Only then did Gu Yuchu let go of his sister, wiped the tears on her face with his hands, and laughed through tears.

"Sister, try your favorite hawthorn cake and lotus seed and snow fungus soup that I made by myself, but they have been stewed for several hours."

Gu Yuxin sniffed, obviously not recovered from her emotions just now. She waved, and the girl behind her who was carrying a food box came forward and put a bunch of snacks on the table.

Gu Yuchu smiled happily, pulled her to sit down, and looked at her carefully.

The porcelain doll that was round and cute back then is now tall and slender, and even more beautiful. The bustard-colored skirt can't hide the slender waist. The light makeup highlights the bright eyes and white teeth. Her frown and smile are very smart, and her eyebrows are beautiful. Even more charming.

Gu Yuchu sighed that his sister was taken care of so well. He glanced at Qi Jian gratefully, and he smiled back.

"Xiaochu, you are very lucky. Xin'er's cooking skills are comparable to those of the palace chefs."

"Brother Jian is always good at making fun of people." Gu Yuxin replied with a smile on her cheeks.

It was just an ordinary conversation, but Gu Yuchu suddenly felt something strange in his heart, as if he was tied up with silk and was a little suffocated.

Brother frame, heart.They were so close.

It turned out that she had forgotten that what she missed was a whole ten years, and it would be difficult for her to make up for these missing days even if she spent her whole life.

"Sister, please give it a try and see if Xin'er's craftsmanship is good?"

Gu Yuxin squinted her eyes and held the hawthorn cake, anxious to let her sister, whom she had not seen for many years, have a taste.

Gu Yuchu quickly twisted a piece, and while eating, he quietly looked at Qi Jian and his sister in front of him.

The man is as handsome as a mountain, and the woman is as beautiful as water. They are a match made in heaven. If she hadn't been so embarrassed, she would have sincerely praised their love as a concubine.

"Is it delicious?" Qi Jian asked with concern as he watched Gu Yuchu stupidly eat several pieces of pastries in a row.

"Ah? It's delicious! Of course it's delicious." Gu Yuchu responded sillyly, with such a cute look that Qi Jian couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

"Okay, I won't interrupt you sisters to continue, I have official business to deal with."

Qi Jian also picked up a piece of hawthorn cake before going out. The sour taste made him swallow a little unconsciously.

He walked to the door, suddenly turned around, and told Gu Yuchu: "Practice "Pure Ge" ten times, and I'll check it out during dinner."

He picks Ge Xi, not for a day, like March Xi.

He is depressed and not seen for a day, like three autumns.

He Cai Aixi, not seeing him for a day, like three years old.

In fact, it was just the word "cai" that I couldn't write well, but it made Gu Yuxin's heart turn over and over again.

After Qi Jian left, only the two Gu sisters were left in the room, but the atmosphere of reunion after a long separation gradually became more subtle.

Although the man who had just left was extremely cruel and forced them to recognize the dangers of the world, he also provided him with infinitely gentle protection. He accompanied them as they grew up like a father and a brother. Unknowingly, he also quietly lingered in their hearts, lingering. scattered.

Gu Yuchu broke the silence of both contemplation, smiled and pulled Gu Yuxin into the greenhouse, sat on the sofa with her, and asked her about the uneasiness that had been hidden in her heart for many years.

"Have you lived comfortably and happily all these years?"

"In the first five years, Brother Frame was in the military camp, but he raised me in the palace and entrusted Brother Xu Zhang to take care of me. Apart from being tired of my dancing and music skills, I never suffered any hardship. After that, Brother Frame was granted a title and returned to the court, and I was even more treated as a child. I'm very good, and no one in the palace dares to treat me lightly." Gu Yuxin replied with a smile. The slight look on her eyebrows couldn't fool anyone. Although her life in the past ten years was not good, it was not bad either. .

"That's good."

Such an answer made Gu Yuchu not know what to say.But she also knew clearly that even if she did not choose a more difficult path, this journey would still last ten years. Although her sister was in the palace and had no worries about food and clothing, she was dependent on others after all, so how much better than her wandering self.

Thinking of this, she felt very guilty.After all, they are each other's last reliable companions in this world.

"Is my sister's injury healed? I've wanted to come see you for a long time, but brother frame is afraid that I will disturb my sister's rest, so I won't be allowed to step into Linyue Pavilion. Sister, don't blame me."

Gu Yu felt a little aggrieved and quickly explained his avoidance these days.

"How could it be? I heard from the prince that you stayed by my side day and night when I was in a coma." Gu Yuchu quickly comforted her as he could not argue with her about this.

"It's really hard for my sister to be wandering outside. Fortunately, she is finally back."

"The King of Qin is as kind as a mountain to the Yuchi family. This hard work is nothing. I just hope that the family will be redressed as soon as possible, that the deceased relatives can be reincarnated with peace of mind, and that the King of Qin's many years of hard work can be fulfilled."

Gu Yuchu took his sister's hand and said firmly and without regrets.

Talking about family affairs in the past always makes the two sisters worried.

"Most definitely!"

Gu Yu couldn't help but nodded, knowing very well his sister's dedication and forbearance.

When relatives are reunited, people always recall the past unconsciously, and Gu Yuchu is no exception. She unconsciously thinks of their missing brother, whose life or death is unknown, and she can't help but feel sad.

"Jing Heng was young back then. Although he was sent to his uncle's house in Beiling Country before the incident, he was robbed by bandits on the way and his whereabouts are still unknown. I'm afraid it's a disaster..."

"In these years, has there been any news about my sister's brother outside?" Gu Yuxin asked cautiously.

Gu Yuchu shook his head helplessly.

Although she was in the academy these years, she was only able to leave Qiyun Mountain except for special tasks in Xunmen, so she didn't have many opportunities to find out about her brother's whereabouts.

"My brother is planning something. Sister, don't worry too much. If my brother is still here, our family will be reunited one day."

Compared to Gu Yuchu, Gu Yuxin seemed more confident about her brother's whereabouts. She held her sister's hand and comforted her.

"It is difficult for you and me to repay King Qin's kindness in this life."

Gu Yuchu frowned slightly and said thoughtfully.

Talking about the love and help Qi Zhen gave them always made her more uneasy and worried. She was too afraid that she would not be able to repay his efforts, and she was even more afraid that she would let him down.

Gu Yuxin, who was hiding her worries, could not understand her sister's worries at this time, because she had something more important to her, and she was not sure whether she should be honest with her sister.

"Sister, there is one thing... I... don't know whether I should tell you or not." She pursed her lips, her eyes filled with hesitation.

"What is it? Speak slowly. You and I are the closest family members. We will bear everything together no matter what."

Gu Yuchu saw the uneasiness in her heart and quickly comforted her.

"I...I am already a brother-in-law. We have been together day and night for so many years. I really can't help it. Sister, I'm sorry."

Gu Yuxin gritted her teeth and confessed, covering her face and crying.

This incident lingered in her heart for a long time. She originally thought that King Qin would give her a title, but what she had been waiting for was that her sister was brought into the palace as a princess. She was extremely disappointed and cried for a long time. .

She also knew clearly that her feelings for him could not be undone, so she thought about it for many days and decided that instead of letting her sister find out about the misunderstanding and become dissatisfied in the future, it would be better for her to speak out directly. Anyway, she just wanted to stay in Qi. When I am around you, I don’t care about false reputation, my heart is extremely magnanimous.

Looking at his sister's red eyes, Gu Yuchu felt that his head was suddenly hollowed out, and he was speechless.

"Sister, I don't ask for status, I just hope to always be by his side so that this deep love can have a place to rest. Sister, can you help me?"

Gu Yuchu was still silent. She patted her crying sister at the desk and accidentally discovered that the beaded filigree plum blossom gold hairpin inserted in her hair seemed to be the same set of jewelry that Liansheng had handed her in the makeup box. It seemed that this replacement Gu Yuxin was undoubtedly the woman who had gone to the wedding hall and entered the palace to be married. Thinking of this, she felt doubly sad.

"Sister, don't worry too much. This princess position is in name only, and it is not what I want. Your true love for King Qin, he will definitely not let you down."

She had no choice but to say these things against her will.

It has to be said that her sister's sudden sincerity and confession made Gu Yuchu extremely ashamed and made her extremely envious.As an older sister, I should not inadvertently be in the balance between my younger sister and the one I love.

She couldn't help but lament that she might never be able to express her deep love for Qi Zhi in her heart for many years.

That's fine, it will save him trouble in the future.

Gu Yuchu silently repeated it to himself.

"Sister, I don't want to argue with you." Gu Yuxin burst into tears and begged for forgiveness, "I don't know how things turned out like this."

"I know, it's not your fault."

……

Even long after his sister left, Gu Yuchu was still confused.

She used to just try her best to help Qi Jian get what she wanted, but now, she had to face the embarrassing situation of these three people.

She was convinced that the absent wedding was specially prepared by Qi Zhi for Gu Yu Xin.

They really love each other.

I don’t know how Yu Xin was feeling at that time.

Wearing a bright scarlet gauze skirt, dressing up to enter the life of loving a man, this is the heart of every woman in the world, but she did it against her own name and identity, which really wronged her.

In the final analysis, I am still not good.

How can I live up to my deep love and not hurt the relationship between sisters who are connected by blood?
Gu Yuchu didn't know the answer, so she began to try to convince herself not to think wildly. The origins and fates had their own destiny, but she still failed, so she lost interest in practicing calligraphy.

In the evening, she sent Liansheng to send the manuscript, which had been scrawled ten times, to Qi Jian for review. She said she was tired and had gone to bed earlier and would not see anyone else.

　In fact, it is quite understandable for Yu Xin to do this, but she is just telling the truth. If you love someone, shouldn't you fight for it bravely?
