It took a long time for Gu Dingzhi to receive a reply from Shen Qingjia in the capital. He was a little happy. This was the only reply she had written to him after he had written so many letters.

But when he opened the letter, the smile on Gu Dingzhi's face froze. What kind of reply was this? It was obviously a naked provocation.

The handwriting on the letter was written by Shen Qingjia himself, and he recognized it, but the tone was completely that of Zhou Nan.

"Qingjia has married me, so don't think about it anymore. Even if Qingjia gets tired of me, it won't be your turn! Qingjia didn't like you before, and she won't be able to like you in the future. You just Just give up on this idea..."

Gu Dingzhi almost laughed out loud as he wrote a whole sheet of words scolding himself eloquently.

But he still held the letter and read it bit by bit, not letting go of any of the content.

At the end, he finally saw the words Qingjia left for him.

"Gu Dingzhi, live your life well, and don't keep sending me things and writing letters. This guy in my family gets jealous easily! Do you want me to be unhappy after marriage?"

Gu Dingzhi read this small paragraph for a long time.

He has always wanted to give Qingjia happiness! It's a pity that the person who can give her happiness is not herself.

He let out a long sigh. It seemed that she was doing well, but he really had no chance.

Gu Dingzhi couldn't let go, but he still had to live his life.

He responded to the advice of his courtiers and planned to choose a queen.

He won't get anyone he loves in this life, and he doesn't want to keep many more people. Accepting one person is his limit.

The matter of choosing a queen was very important. When the courtiers heard that the king was relieved, they immediately went to do it for fear that he would regret it. All of a sudden, portraits of famous ladies from all over the place were sent to the royal city.

The palace people introduced Gu Dingzhi one by one. Gu Dingzhi felt a little bored. He couldn't remember who was who with so many people.

"Leave it to Tian Qing! Just choose the one with the best talent and good looks."

"Yes!"

Tian Qing was now the top leader in the court, and he was a little flattered when he suddenly received this task.

He has followed the king for many years, so he naturally knows that he will never forget his old love, and he also knows which one he prefers.

So, he started to choose among the noble ladies according to the appearance of Miss Shen in his memory.

In the end, he selected a woman who was 70% similar to Miss Shen in his memory. Unfortunately, this woman's status was a little lower, and she was only the daughter of a seventh-grade official.

Tian Qing selected several more talented and beautiful women from good families, four in total, and sent them to Gu Dingzhi for selection.

Gu Dingzhi looked at the four portraits one by one, and finally, his eyes stopped on the last portrait.

If you didn't look carefully, you would really think that it was Shen Qingjia's portrait.

Gu Dingzhi looked at it for a long time and made no decision. The palace people had to wait quietly so as not to disturb him.

"Put it away!"

When the palace people heard this, they asked: "Your Majesty? Which noble girl do you like?"

Gu Dingzhi didn't answer, feeling a little depressed.

"Call Tian Qing!"

"Yes!"

Of course Tian Qing knew Gu Dingzhi's preferences, and Gu Dingzhi also knew that Tian Qing did this on purpose.

However, if you can't find the woman you love, then you will find a very similar one to stay by your side. This is just deceiving yourself and others.

Tian Qing came to the hall and looked at Gu Dingzhi's silent expression, unable to figure out what he was thinking.

After looking at Dingzhi for a long time, he said: "Tian Qing, you have chosen four people, who do you think I should choose?" Tian Qing said: "Of course I have to choose the person who is the king's favorite!"

"But there is no one here that I like the most."

His favorite is Shen Qingjia!
It's a pity that he can't get this favorite person.

Otherwise, we can only settle for the next best thing, either choose a similar woman to numb ourselves, or choose a woman from a prominent family to maximize our interests.

Gu Dingzhi still couldn't make up his mind.

Tian Qing heard what he said and hurriedly said: "It's my fault that I'm not doing the right thing. I'll make the choice later."

"That's all, that's it. Let's put aside the post-election matters for now!"

Tian Qing frowned. If this was shelved any longer, the courtiers would quarrel again. However, seeing the state of the king, it was useless to persuade him, so Tian Qing withdrew.

Gu Dingzhi took out the book and opened it. There was a small paper crane inside. This was his birthday gift from Shen Qingjia.

It was just a small thing, but he kept it for a long time.

"Your Majesty, another message has arrived from Beijing."

Gu Dingzhi held the paper crane's hand for a moment, and immediately said: "Bring it here quickly."

The letter from Beijing must be from Shen Qingjia.

The palace man immediately took the letter and handed it to Gu Dingzhi, who couldn't wait to open it.

This time, there were no curse words, only a simple sentence: "Gu Dingzhi, I am very happy now, and you should be happy too. Forget the past, people always have to cross a hurdle to move towards the future. In the future, you will encounter Someone more suitable for you."

Shen Qingjia had said this to him many times before.

But this time, Gu Dingzhi did not resist, but just sighed slightly.

If she is happy, she will be fine.

Gu Dingzhi received the letter and sat alone for a long time before he decided to put those past events behind him. It was normal for a person to do something undesirable and meet an unavailable person when he was young.

Even if the unattainable thing has no results, and the unattainable person marries someone else, this life will always go on. He can't always remember the past. This is really too manly.

Gu Dingzhi thought for a while, and there were still many things waiting for him to do in this world. To make his land peaceful and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, these were all things he had to do.

……

Shen Qingjia didn't know that Chu You always followed her at first. Until Zhou Nan often went out to catch thieves, she felt something was wrong. Why is it so difficult to catch thieves?

Until one time, she was almost hit by a group of gangsters on the street. Suddenly, a masked man took action and drove those people away.

When Shen Qingjia was about to thank him, the man ran away quickly.

Shen Qingjia felt very confused. She was about to leave with Caihuan, but suddenly, Caihuan picked up something and said to Shen Qingjia: "Miss, this seems to have been dropped by the knight just now!"

It was a purse, and it was very old. Shen Qingjia took it and looked at it, and felt that it looked familiar.

Until she turned over the other side of the purse and saw a crooked word '深' embroidered on it, which awakened Shen Qingjia's past memories.

This is a purse she embroidered herself. She has given this kind of purse to three people.

One is Wei Yu, one is Gu Dingzhi, and the other is Chu You.

Wei Yu has let go of the past and is deeply in love with Cui Ling. Even if he saves himself, he cannot be so secretive. Gu Dingzhi is far away in the east and cannot appear in the capital. Besides, he is not that secretive. A person who has saved himself will wish he could repay it!

So, only Chu You was left.

If it was really Chu You, had he been following her all along, or was it just a coincidence this time?
