Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Night Party
Wu Tianyue shamelessly wanted to have dinner with Daiyu, and Daiyu couldn't bear to see him disappointed, so she agreed.
The two of them left Xiaoxiang Pavilion together and came to Jia's mother's courtyard. They saw that the room was full of people. It seemed that everyone had come.
Today, Grandmother Jia was just thinking about Xiangyun's departure tomorrow, so she asked everyone to gather together. She didn't expect Wu Tianyue to come. When she saw the two of them coming in one after another, she was stunned for a moment, then stood up to greet them with a smile.
"I've lived in Yihongyuan for so long that we've become family. There's no need to be so polite," Wu Tianyue said with a smile. "Just don't bother the old lady and ask me to leave."
Seeing that he was still so unassuming, Grandmother Jia laughed and said, "You are joking, my Lord."
Wu Tianyue was not polite at all. He sat down and chatted with everyone. After a few more words, the maids had already set up the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, and served the dishes. Everyone made way for him and sat down in turn to eat.
After the meal, the maid brought tea for rinsing the mouth. Wu Tianyue subconsciously took it and handed it to Daiyu.
In the past, this action would have been nothing, but given the situation between the two of them today, Daiyu always felt guilty, afraid that others would notice something. She hurriedly took the tea and secretly observed everyone's reactions. Seeing that everyone was drinking tea and talking and there was nothing unusual, she felt relieved and glanced at Wu Tianyue.
Seeing that she was so scared, Wu Tianyue didn't dare to move and just sat quietly.
Everyone chatted for a few more minutes, and as it was getting late, they dispersed.
All the sisters were there, and Wu Tianyue and Daiyu could not find a reason to be alone together, so they could only send the sisters to the garden gate and watch Daiyu leave while chatting with them.
After he could no longer see anyone, he reluctantly returned to Yihongyuan.
But today I just can't calm down. My mind is full of Daiyu. When I read, I think of Daiyu's profile as she lowered her head to read. When I look at the moon, I remember the look in Daiyu's eyes when she recited poems. But I can't meet her, so I can't help but feel neither sitting nor standing.
Lan Ye saw that he had returned but remained silent. He either stared at the book or the sky with a silly smile or sighed with his head bowed. She was very puzzled. When she asked him about it, he didn't say anything. She wondered if he was worried about something, so she changed the subject and said, "Mr. Xue sent some fragrant herbs today. They are quite good. Although not as good as the ones you usually use, most people in the palace use this kind of herbs because they are the best ones presented by his family to the palace."
"Just keep it." Wu Tianyue came back to his senses, nodded, and then asked curiously, "Master Xue? But Miss Xue's brother Xue Pan? Why did he suddenly send something here?"
"Although your punishment of Mingyan today didn't cause a big stir, everyone in the garden knows about it." Lan Ye thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps someone told the Xue family. The Xue family thanks you for helping him clear his name."
As they were talking, Lu Chen walked in with a letter and said with a smile, "Young lady and master are really annoying. We've been together all day, and there's nothing you can't talk about? But you have to send someone to deliver a letter in the middle of the night."
Seeing her coming, Wu Tianyue instantly put Xue Pan's matter behind his mind and took the letter to read it.
Lan Ye saw him start to giggle again after reading the letter, then realized that his strange behavior was because of Daiyu. She smiled and shook her head, then pulled Lu Chen out and said, "You came at the right time. I've been wanting to make a pair of shoes these past few days, but no matter what I do, there are problems."
Lu Chen said with a smile as he walked out with her: "Forget about your craftsmanship. The materials in the mansion are not enough to make ten pairs of shoes for what you waste."
The two of them went to Lan Ye's room while talking. Wu Tianyue read the letter carefully. There was only one poem about the moon in the letter.
Seeing this, Wu Tianyue picked up his pen and wrote a poem, but then he felt it was not good, so he deleted and revised it for a long time. Seeing that Lu Chen was still with Lan Ye, he found a little girl to deliver it to him.
Not long after, the maid who delivered the letter came back and said, "The young lady received the letter and didn't say anything. She just told the prince to have a good rest and not to miss tomorrow's class."
Wu Tianyue was a little disappointed, but he also knew it was not good to keep communicating so late, so he washed up and went to bed.
But I was too excited today. I tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. I wanted to go find Daiyu but was afraid of disturbing her rest. Thinking of Daiyu, I couldn't help but plan for the future.
If I want to be sent out in the future, I have to grow up fully grown first. Fortunately, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the prince mentioned that he wanted me to follow him to handle court affairs for a while. If the prince can lend me a helping hand, this matter will probably be accomplished.
But if I follow the path of literature, my father and mother will definitely not agree to let me leave the capital. The prince doesn't like to wield swords and sticks, so how can I convince him to support me to become a military general?
Wu Tianyue was feeling distressed when he suddenly remembered that Princess Zhongshun had mentioned a few days ago that there was a group of bandits outside the city who specialized in robbing passing merchant caravans. The escort agency run by Wu Tianyue's uncle's friend had seen much better business recently.
If he could start with the bandits and then trick the prince, who always talks about putting the people first, into suppressing the bandits, it would not only be a serious matter, but also a way to demonstrate his potential to become a military general.
However, most of the time when he went out of the city, he was hunting, and he was surrounded by people. Those bandits would definitely not dare to provoke him. He had to find a way to make enemies with those bandits before he would have a reason to suppress them.
But that's all in the future. I still need to send someone to find out the situation of those bandits before I can make any plans. As I was thinking about it, I fell asleep unknowingly.
The next morning, Wu Tianyue ordered someone to bring Fei Yan in and said, "I heard there's a gang of bandits outside the city recently. Go and ask around, but don't let the government know."
Fei Yan agreed to take people with him. Wu Tianyue went to do his daily lessons. He was busy packing up at noon and asked for leave from his teacher. He wanted to go find Daiyu, but the prince sent a message saying that there was a banquet and asked Wu Tianyue to attend on his behalf.
Wu Tianyue had no choice but to go back to his room to change his clothes, and asked someone to bring a message to Daiyu. After attending the banquet, he went to the Prince's Mansion to report, and did not return until late at night.
When he came back in the evening, he did not enter the Yihong Courtyard, but went straight to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
It was too late and Xiaoxiang Pavilion was locked, so Wu Tianyue sneaked in again as before.
Just as I climbed over the courtyard wall and entered the bamboo forest, I heard Zijuan ordering people to pour water and turn off the lights.
Thinking that Daiyu might have gone to bed, Wu Tianyue sighed and turned to leave when he heard Lu Chen lower his voice and say, "Young Master?"
Wu Tianyue whispered back, "It's me. Have you girls rested yet?"
"The girl is still reading." Lu Chen thought of what Zijuan had said to him today and asked, "Do you want to go in and see the girl?"
"Okay." Wu Tianyue agreed happily.
Lu Chen probably didn't expect that he would really go in. She was silent for a while, then turned around and led him through the bamboo forest to the back window of Daiyu's room.
I knocked lightly on the window frame and heard footsteps from inside. Soon, Zijuan opened the window.
Zijuan saw Wu Tianyue, turned around and saw that Daiyu didn't say anything to stop her, so she silently moved the chair in front of the window away.
Wu Tianyue climbed through the window and entered the room. He saw Daiyu leaning against the bed, holding a scroll. He was about to speak when she asked, "What are you doing here?"
He wanted to tell her that he missed her, but he felt it was too bold and didn't dare to say it. After thinking for a while, he said, "What do you think of the poem I wrote yesterday? I don't think it's very good, but I don't know how to revise it. How about you teach me?"
Daiyu felt that such a private meeting was against the rules, but she had already crossed the line yesterday, so why should she care about it?
I was struggling with this, and when I heard his lame excuse, I found it hard for him to come up with it, so I laughed and said, "I don't think any line in your poem is worth mentioning."
Wu Tianyue had just made up a random excuse, but when he heard Daiyu deny him, he felt somewhat dissatisfied and started arguing with her.
Zijuan and Luchen were speechless when they saw the two men meeting late at night and discussing academic matters with each other, but they felt relieved and waited quietly by their side.
After an unknown amount of time, Nanny Wang saw that the lights in Daiyu's room were still on, so she walked to the door and asked, and Lu Chen hurried out to answer.
Zijuan checked the time and gently reminded, "Miss, it's almost midnight."
Wu Tianyue felt very disappointed after hearing this, but it was so late and Daiyu was not feeling well and could not stay up all night, so he smiled and said, "Sister, please give me a ride."
Zijuan and Lu Chen, who had just dealt with Nanny Wang when she came in, felt a pang of anger rising in their teeth, and then they saw Daiyu stand up and walk to the window with Wu Tianyue.
The two men stood facing each other quietly, one didn't want to leave, the other didn't dare to stay, and neither of them spoke.
Daiyu felt very uncomfortable when she felt Wu Tianyue staring at her. She was about to urge him to leave when she heard Wu Tianyue say, "I want to hug you."
Daiyu's face turned even redder, and she subconsciously turned to look at Zijuan and the others. They had already turned around. When she turned around, she saw Wu Tianyue looking at her with sparkling eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded slightly.
As soon as she moved, she was held in Wu Tianyue's arms. Although Daiyu had recovered a lot, her height was not even as high as Wu Tianyue's chin. In addition, Wu Tianyue exercised all day and was very strong. So Daiyu felt that her whole body was trapped in his body, as warm as being wrapped in a quilt, but not as soft as a quilt, but hard.
Daiyu let him hold her for a while, but when she found that he still didn't let go, she raised her hand and pushed him away.
Wu Tianyue then let Daiyu go, reluctantly saying, "I'm leaving now. Sister, please go into the inner room first and don't get caught in the wind."
Daiyu wanted to watch him go first, but seeing him dawdling, she blushed and urged him, "Hurry up and go."
Seeing that she didn't go in, Wu Tianyue took off his cloak and put it on her, tying the belt: "Then you watch me walk."
As he said this, he opened the window, quietly climbed out, and went into the bamboo forest.
I had just come out and was about to turn around and say goodbye to Daiyu when the parrot in the corridor suddenly cried out, "Thief! Thief!"
Wu Tianyue didn't dare to stay any longer. He cursed inwardly and hurried into the bamboo forest.
Seeing him running away in fear, Daiyu couldn't help laughing, and the reluctance in her heart was diluted a lot.
Wu Tianyue, on his side, returned to Yihong Courtyard in hiding. Thinking that Daiyu had seen him running away just now, and seemed to be smiling, he was very sad.
Lan Ye saw him coming back so late, and after washing up, she sighed by the window. If she cared, he would say nothing, but if she ignored him, she really didn't want to hear him sighing. Suddenly, she remembered the people who came to the Xue family today, and asked, "Master Xue came early today to ask for an audience, and waited for me in the study for a long time. Do you want to see me tomorrow?"
"What is he waiting for me to do?" Wu Tianyue asked in confusion.
"I don't know."
Wu Tianyue was very surprised, but he thought that he knew Baochai, and Xue Pan had been waiting for him for a long time, so he couldn't refuse to see him. So he said, "Tell him to come during the lunch break tomorrow. He doesn't need to go into the garden, he can just stay in the house next door."
Lan Ye agreed and brought some water for Wu Tianyue to wash up and rest.
The next day, Wu Tianyue heard that Xue Pan had arrived and was about to go see him when he heard someone reply, "Fei Yan is back."
