Gu Yanrou slumped on the ground, her clothes tangled on the ground, and tiny bits of blood dyed the area under her red.

The palace maid Yan'er beside her quickly ran to her side and helped her up carefully, but she was completely unaware.

Yan'er helped Gu Yanrou up, nervously observing her defeated expression, and said, "Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace. I've already called someone to summon the imperial physician."

Gu Yanrou just stared at the affectionate figures of Yu Wenran and Gu Yanyue as they walked away.

It was obvious that Gu Yanyue had come to the palace not long before her, but now, she looked so close to the emperor.

Why did that idiot Gu Yanyue get such an honor? She is the eldest daughter of the Gu family, and all this should be hers!

"Ah! Madam?"

Yan'er screamed in pain when Gu Yanrou grabbed her wrist so hard that it hurt.

Gu Yanrou stared at the distance with hatred, while Gu Yanyue's fair cheeks showed a faint shy smile.

He secretly thought that she would never let Gu Yanyue go.

Gu Yanrou retracted her gaze, lowered her watery eyes and said to Yan'er, "Let's go back to the palace."

Gu Yanyue and Yuwen Ran returned to Fengqi Palace together.

Before entering the house, Yuwen Ran signaled Eunuch Gao to stay outside the hall.

Eunuch Gao understood and retreated outside the hall to guard.

Gu Yanyue also waved her sleeves and shouted for all the palace maids to leave.

In an instant, Gu Yanyue and Yu Wenran were the only ones left in the huge Fengqi Palace.

Gu Yanyue and Yu Wenran looked at each other, and the hall was very quiet for a while.

Gu Yanyue coughed and cleared her throat. She raised her eyes sheepishly, looked into Yu Wenran's eyes, and spoke first, "Thank you for today."

Then, with her hands behind her back and her head tilted back, she circled around Yu Wenran and said, "Don't say I'm not nice to you. I'll make you some grilled cold noodles."

Then she turned around and walked towards the small kitchen, but just as she took a step, a strong hand grabbed her wrist and stopped her. She turned back.

"Sister? Why don't I remember I have a sister?"

Yu Wenran held the hand of the lovely and beautiful woman in front of him. When he heard her call herself sister, he couldn't help but sneer.

Gu Yanyue was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to face Yuwen Ran. Damn it, when she saw such a handsome and sickly brother, and he had no hostility towards her, she became a little too proud of herself.

Even because the other party's poor health fits the setting of a beautiful, strong and tragic person, people forget that the other party is actually the emperor.

Since ancient times, it is said that all royal families have been extremely suspicious and cannot tolerate their dragon majesty being offended in the slightest.

She suddenly felt that the life she had just traveled through was about to end.

Unexpectedly, the young man in front of her just sneered, loosened his grip on her hand, raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms and said to her, "As the Son of Heaven, I will not bother with you. Ah Yue, go make me some cold noodles."

Then the handsome young man lifted up his black dragon-shaped robe with golden patterns and sat on the chair next to the tea table. He raised his beautiful eyes and looked at her deeply, then whispered, "I'm hungry."

Gu Yanyue suddenly felt that she was overwhelmed by Yu Wenran's beauty. She wiped the saliva that had not flowed down and silently repeated in her heart ten times: "Form is emptiness, form is emptiness."

She walked quickly to the kitchen: "It will be ready soon!"

Yu Wenran sat at the dining table, leaning his head on the table bored, thinking about Gu Yanyue recently.

Has Gu Yanyue become more and more pleasing to the eye recently?

He wondered why she seemed to have become a completely different person since she recovered from her illness.

Before I knew it, I had transformed from a "family girl" to the current "A Yue".

When she stopped him and told him that she was the queen, not the daughter of the Gu family, she was very pleasing to the eye.

When I prepare delicious food for him, it looks very pleasing to the eye.

When he was in a mess, she used her frail body to block him...it was also pleasing to the eye.

Thinking of this, his picturesque eyes were filled with smile.

My queen is becoming more and more unexpected.

After a while, Gu Yanyue brought two dishes covered with thin wooden covers and placed them on the dining table in front of him.

Gu Yanyue sat down next to him, looked at him, and said in a soft, flattering voice, "Aran, I made you a new, delicious meal. You're sure to like it!"

Yu Wenran looked at Gu Yanyue, who was smiling at him with eyes full of stars, and said with a smile: "How do you know I will like it? I am very picky."

Gu Yanyue's beautiful eyes turned, hiding her inner thoughts, and deliberately provoked Yu Wenran, "How about we make a bet? If you think my cooking is delicious, I will feed you until you are full, and you will take me out of the palace to play!"

Yu Wenran looked at the little fox in front of him who finally revealed his true intentions, and pretended to think: "Well, it's not impossible."

Gu Yanyue's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Yuwen Ran picked up the jade chopsticks: "The premise is that I really think it's good."

Gu Yanyue confidently took off the wooden cover and said, "Then come and try it?"

The golden and tender pancake inside the cover was filled with vegetables, braised meat, and pickles that Gu Yanyue secretly prepared in her spare time.

It clearly looked like a burrito, but suddenly a fragrant aroma came to his face, making Yu Wenran's appetite very excited.

He picked it up with his jade chopsticks and took a bite. He couldn't stop and ate half of it in one go.

"Ayue, what kind of delicacy is this?"

Gu Yanyue chuckled and said, "This is called a shou zha bing (a pancake). People in my hometown love it."

Besides, what a Michelin three-star chef like me makes is definitely different from what is made in street stalls. She looked at Yu Wenran who ate half of it in one gulp and became more confident.

Just as she expected, Yu Wenran said he was not full after eating one, and asked Gu Yanyue to make two more.

Gu Yanyue smiled as she watched Yu Wenran, who ate three hand-pulled pancakes before stopping, and thought with amusement, how did he look like anorexic at all?

After eating, Yuwen Ran stood up and returned to his expressionless state of dignity: "Ayue, you have done well. I will also fulfill my promise. I will take you out of the palace on the Lantern Festival in three days."

"good."

Yu Wenran, who had just turned around, suddenly heard Gu Yanyue cheering behind him. He paused and then walked out with big strides.

Gu Yanyue happily lay down on the bed with her eyes closed, thinking happily that she had heard about the Lantern Festival from various novels and TV dramas a long time ago, and this time she could actually see it with her own eyes.

Three days later, on the night of the Lantern Festival.

A woman in a light blue long skirt embroidered with white glass patterns and covered with feather-white gauze, pulled a man in a jet-black robe and a black and gold robe, and walked excitedly on the bustling street.

Although the girl was wearing a veil, the extraordinary temperament of the two still attracted the attention of passers-by from time to time.

"Wow, there's a mask over here!"

Gu Yanyue excitedly pulled Yuwen Ran to the mask stall and looked curiously at the various masks hanging on the wall.

The vendor immediately smiled and asked, "Hey guys, is there anything you like?"
