Chapter 45 Sorry, It Won't Get Hard

  Shen Guiyan was taken aback, her eyes flickering slightly.

  A white rabbit hops away, looking east and west. Clothes are not as good as new ones, people are not like they used to be.

  They all say that Gu Zhaobei has no ink in his belly, but he actually knows this sentence. Her heart warmed up, and she suddenly felt that this person looked more pleasing to the eye.

  There's something really cool in the world, which is when you dislike someone and the person you like happens to dislike her too. Once this tacit understanding is mutually known, whether it's between people of the same sex or opposite sexes, it will deepen the emotions between each other.

  It's as if we have a deep understanding of each other within the four seas, and any deeper would be a bond that transcends life and death.

  Shen Guiyan's mood improved, and he looked up at a group of dancing girls who had just entered.

  The dancers only entered the courtyard, and then dispersed on both sides, each shaking their water sleeves like flower petals unfolding one by one. The last dancer wore a bright red dance dress, but that dress made people's eyes widen in surprise.

  The upper body is only as big as a breastplate, the waist is full of flesh with hundred flowers, and the head has gold powder painted with floral patterns. There are no sleeves on the hands, but a golden ring is worn, pulling out long water sleeves. The lower body is like a cloak, slightly longer, disappearing at the calf, with a few strands of golden thread hanging down, and not even wearing shoes on the feet.

  Gu Zhaobei let out a light cough, Gu Zhaonan raised an eyebrow and smiled, while Gu Chengxiang and the other women looked displeased.

  This person is actually Shen Guiya.

  She flicked her sleeve, revealing a heavily made-up face. Although she was wearing a veil, what could such a transparent thing conceal? With the headdress of a dancing girl on her head, she walked to the front surrounded by a group of dancing girls.

  "Yah gave birth to an ugly child."

  Shen Guiya looked at the shocked eyes of the crowd, very satisfied. She had been preparing for today for a long time and specially merged the water sleeves and belly dance, re-choreographing the dance. The music used was also something they had absolutely never heard before - Cai Yilin's "Dance Girl".

  It's time to broaden the horizons of these ancient people. Shen Guiya smiled slightly, swung her water sleeves and went forward to sing and dance by the side.

  "Spinning, jumping, I close my eyes, can't see the dust, are you drunk?"

  "Snowflakes, summer nights, I don't stop, blurred years, the joys and sorrows of a dancer are unseen."

  The guzheng and yuxiao accompaniment, no matter how they accompanied her, couldn't bring out the dynamic feeling she wanted, instead making her singing voice seem mismatched and awkward. Shen Guiya gritted her teeth, and simply stood still, shaking her belly and swinging her sleeves to save energy for singing.

  This song has always been her favorite in nightclubs, feeling that she can be as charming and captivating as Jolin Tsai with her eyes closed. Shen Guiya had watched many time-travel dramas when she was bored, where the female lead would dance modern dance and sing a song, and then be liked by some prince or whatever.

  Even if there is no Wang Ye in this courtyard, having Gu Zhaobei is enough. Her purpose today was just to leave a stunning impression on Gu Zhaobei.

  Gu Zhāo Běi held a mouthful of wine without swallowing, and when she started singing, he finally spat it out onto the ground beside him. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, smiling as he watched her dance.

  When Shen Guiya looked over, she felt that Gu Zhaobei's smile was encouraging her, and she sang even more energetically.

  "Time's hourglass was crushed by me."

  Shen Guiyan stared at her in shock, wondering if Shen Guiya had completely forgotten that she was pregnant? Exposing her belly like this, wasn't it a problem? Her outfit was already more revealing than those of the courtesans outside, why didn't she feel any shame?

  He turned his head again to look at Gu Zhaobei, and this guy was still watching, still smiling.

  Shen Guiyan shook her head in some dismay. A man's words were indeed unreliable, she thought. He had just been professing his loyalty and devotion, but now he was still enjoying the spectacle.

  The good mood I had suddenly got a little worse again.

  The music ended, no one applauded, Shen Guiya stood alone with her head down in an S shape, raised her chin and swept the surroundings, feeling extremely proud.

  They were all stunned and forgot to applaud, it turns out that modern things are taken for granted as ancient treasures.

  "Yah er, go down." In a moment of silence, only Mrs. Gu spoke up.

  Shen Guiya was taken aback, raised an eyebrow, and thought to herself that it was probably because she had seduced too many men in this way, so Madame Gu's face looked so unpleasant.

  Also, look, even Prime Minister Gu is staring at her.

  "Yah Er bids farewell." With a wave of her water sleeve, she made a courtesy, Shen Gui Ya threw another autumn wave at Gu Chao Bei, and then left under the escort of the dancing girls.

  "Madam." Chancellor Gu rubbed his temples with his hand.

  Mrs. Gu nodded her head in approval.

  "Let's find a doctor for Ya'er to take a look." Gu Xiang said: "I don't know if it's demonic interference or not."

  "Yes." Mrs. Gu's face had already turned green, and she was pregnant with a child. As the eldest daughter-in-law, it was already humiliating enough for her to perform a dance with those lowly courtesans today, but now she was acting like a madwoman, wearing only her undergarments and chanting some sort of incantation. If there weren't other courtesans around to provide a distraction, one would have thought she had come to perform an exorcism ritual.

  It's fine that I have no chance of becoming the Eastern Duke and Servant, but my daughter-in-law is still so embarrassing. Madam Gu couldn't help but feel extremely angry, turned her head and said to Shen Guiyan: "Lock your elder sister in the East Wing, make her face the wall for half a month, and then find a doctor to take a look."

  "Yes." Shen Guiyan nodded.

  She didn't quite understand what Shen Guiya was trying to do, as everyone dispersed and Shen Guiyan was about to follow Gu Zhaobei out. However, Xu Mengdie suddenly spoke up: "Fourth Young Master's wife."

  Looking back at her, Shen Guiyan asked: "What's wrong?"

  "Four Young Master's wife should be more careful." Xū Mèngtiě leaned in closer, her eyes full of knowing composure: "Men, actually, forever like women's bodies, let alone Four Young Master who is such a charming man. Four Young Master's wife had better keep a close eye on him."

  "Thanks for reminding me." Shen Guiyan lowered her eyelids, but in her heart, she didn't think so.

  Even if Gu Chaobei had feelings for Shen Guiya, if they dared to be together, she would dare to expose them and make them soak in a pig cage. At worst, she would become a widow and remarry, who's afraid of whom?

  She turned her head and took two steps forward, but Gu Zhaobei was already gone. Shen Guiyan let out a soft sigh and looked at the palm of her own hand.

  The marriage line is smooth and straightforward, so why does it feel like there are so many ups and downs along the way?

  Guo Zhaobei deliberately walked ahead, crossing the corridor and entering the garden through the moon gate, only to be unexpectedly pulled into a nearby thicket.

  "Hmm." A wave of lipstick smell rushed towards him, Gu Zhaobei didn't think and covered his mouth first.

  Shen Gui Ya then kissed his hand back.

  "Tsk, tsk, petty ghost, staring at someone's body for so long, can't even spare a kiss?" Shen Guiya smiled charmingly and continued to rub her wrapped chest against his.

  "Take care of yourself." Gu Zhaobei raised an eyebrow and looked at her, raising both hands to his head.

  Shen Guiya smiled lightly: "What are you talking about, self-control? From the moment I saw you for the first time, I knew you had a crush on me. Men in ancient times were also feudal, they had feelings but took care of me as their elder sister-in-law and didn't dare to say anything."

  "Even if you weren't my sister-in-law, I would still make you proud." Gu Zhaobei smiled more charmingly than her, making Shen Guiya dizzy and completely unaware of what he had just said.

  "You're really handsome." Shen Guiya leaned on his body, her lower body tightly attached to him like a snake, using the usual seductive moves of modern times, reaching out to touch his Adam's apple, and going down: "Missing you back then was my loss."

  "Oh?" Gu Zhaobei's voice rose slightly as he looked at the figure approaching from outside: "Didn't Eldest Sister marry Eldest Brother because she deeply loved him?"

  Shen Guiya let out a soft hum, gently patted his chest: "You bad guy, clearly knowing I'm pregnant with his child, had no choice but to marry your older brother. From the moment we met at the wedding hall, my heart only belonged to you."

  Gu Zhaobei smiled lightly: "But what can be done, in my heart there is only Yan'er."

  "What's so good about her?" Shen Guiya rolled her eyes: "Like a holy mother, sympathizing with refugees, humph, pretending to be kind, yet rigid and boring, where is my charming and varied charm?"

  "Eldest sister, please don't tempt fourth brother again. Fourth brother's heart truly only has Yan'er, no matter how good others are, they can't compare to her in my eyes."

  Shen Guiya gritted her teeth and was about to reach down to grab something when Gu Zhaobei stopped her.

  "Are you pushing me away and rejecting me because you've already reacted?" Shen Guiya looked into Gu Zhaobei's eyes and said, "I always believe in my own abilities."

  Gu Zhāo Běi's smile on his face slowly turned into a sneer: "Having skills is a good thing, but big sister, facing you with such a heavily made-up face, sorry, I'm not getting hard."

  Shen Guiya's smiling face froze.

  "What did you say?"

  Gu Zhaobei looked at her and shrugged regretfully: "I said your face is too uninteresting, and this outfit... it might be suitable for the sisters of Zuihuayin to wear next time, but I don't know if they would be willing to wear something like this. It might be useful for dealing with some stupid pigs, but as for me..."

  "I think you should go back and accompany your brother."

  Shen Guiya was so angry that she blushed: "You ungrateful person, I specifically wore this for you!"

  "Really?"

  Suddenly, a cold hum came from outside the tree shade.

  Shen Guiya was so frightened that she immediately jumped out of Gu Zhaonan's arms and looked around in surprise.

  Behind Gu Zhaodong stood Zhu Yun, and without asking, it was clear that he had been brought over by Gu Zhaobei's orders. Shen Guiya took a deep breath, looking at Gu Zhaodong's icy eyebrows and pale face: "Young Master, just now..."

  "I heard every word you just said." Gu Zhaodong's face was devoid of any smile, his eyes filled with disgust: "I'll have Mother write a divorce letter to you."

  Having said that, he turned around and left.

  "Go east!" Shen Guiya hastily chased out and hugged his back: "Don't! I was just joking with Fourth Brother."

  "Joking?" Gu Zhaodong burst out laughing, but his face didn't have a hint of smile: "You're such a shameless woman, you can turn anything into a joke. If I came any later, would you have directly taken off your clothes and made love with him here?"
