Looking at the soundly sleeping Gong Ruanruan, Gong Yuanzheng fell into deep thought. From the moment he heard her voice, he knew Gong Ruanruan was a girl, but knowing and seeing are two completely different things. Now she could become human.
Should he avoid it? After all, boys and girls shouldn't sit together after the age of seven. Thinking of his brother Gong Yuanzheng, he inexplicably felt that he didn't want his brother to know about this.
Gong Yuanzheng pondered for most of the night, but knowing he was getting too sleepy, he gave up and went to sleep.
The next day, Gong Yuanzheng completely forgot about the incident. He was busy researching poison and antidote and tending to his herb garden, so he couldn't remember it at all. It wasn't until something similar happened that evening that Gong Yuanzheng remembered it.
Gong Ruanruan sat gracefully on the cushion, her four paws pressed together on it, looking up at the people sitting on either side of the table. She thought about how almost half a year had passed since she came into this world and was adopted by her brother.
If it weren't for the fact that I developed the habit of taking her for walks every day, she would already be a useless little brat who only knows how to eat, drink, and play, just a little bit away from becoming the useless Gong Ziyu that her brother talked about. She is cute, Gong Ziyu is not cute.
Gong Ruanruan herself had no idea that she would transform into human form in the middle of the night. At first, Gong Yuanzheng felt extremely shy and at a loss, but now he was completely at ease and seemed used to it.
Gong Yuanzheng had considered separating from Gong Ruanruan, but nearly two months had already passed, and arranging to go there now might arouse her suspicion. Moreover, since his father and mother passed away, he had spent almost every night alone.
My brother often leaves the palace. When I was little, he would sometimes come back to keep me company whenever my brother was at the palace gate. But now that I'm older, I can't cling to my brother like I used to when I was little. Actually, I don't want to be separated because I have selfish reasons.
Now, besides his brother, he can also trust Gong Ruanruan. But what if she finds out in the future that he can hear her thoughts? Will she despise him?
The thought of such a thing happening made Gong Yuanzheng very sad. After some time, he no longer had the thought of telling her that he could hear her thoughts.
"What! They're going to choose a bride for Gong Huanyu!" Gong Yuanzheng exclaimed excitedly upon hearing the news from his brother. However, since they were outside the palace and Jin Fu was guarding it, they weren't worried about being overheard.
"Brother Yuanzheng, please calm down." Gong Shangjiao calmly sipped his tea.
"Why? Why only choose a bride for Gong Huanyu? My brother needs a bride too!" Gong Yuanzheng's voice trailed off. He wasn't angry because the Gong family only chose a bride for Gong Huanyu. In fact, he would be the one unhappy if his own brother chose a bride.
【Ha~ Complaining won't do any good; it's still uncertain who this bride will be chosen for.】
[Both Dahai and Gong Shangjiao are almost thirty, yet they haven't shown any signs of being in a hurry to find someone. Gong Yuanzheng is still a minor, and the one from Shanggong is way too far removed. Excluding all other possibilities, isn't it obvious who obtained it?]
She had the same doubts at first. After all, both Dahai and Gong Shangjiao were almost thirty, and she hadn't seen Gongmen rushing to make arrangements for them. The old fox was indeed wiser; they talked about choosing a bride for Gong Huanyu, but...
In reality, after Gong Huanyu finished choosing the bride, he was going to find an excuse to say that it wasn't easy for a bride to come, and that he would definitely have Gong Shangjiao and Gong Ziyu choose the bride together. However, he logged off before he could say anything.
Gong Yuanzheng was also shocked upon hearing this, but after six months of dealing with the possibility of important news at any moment, he had learned to suppress his shock.
Thinking back on that, it seems to make sense. I'm almost thirty, and I've never seen the elders in such a hurry. I've read about it in books and heard it from the servants; people my age outside the palace gates already have children.
If he were any older, he would already have grandchildren. Thinking about it, Gong Ziyu is only twenty-two this year, which is the time when he should be getting married and having children. If it is really as Ruan Ruan thinks, then Zhi Ren's heart is biased by a lot, after all, Gong Ziyu is the only one in the Gong family who is his biological son.
[However, speaking of this palace bride selection, Wufeng will also be waiting for an opportunity to make his move. After all, they have a message specifically sent by their wife, Lady Wuji, who is known for her sharpness. I remember there are three Wufeng brides, right, Xiao Kou?]
Yes, there's Yun Weishan, Shangguan Qian, and that resentful Zheng Nanyi.
"A 'vengeful seed'? That name really suits Zheng Nanyi. Why did she have to be such a simp, a hopeless romantic? Someone asked her for a favor, and she knew she'd die, yet she actually did it. In the end, the entire Zheng family was wiped out."
Her father is practically driven to death by her filial piety.
Speaking of which, the Zheng family seems to have some connection with Gong Shangjiao. They originally intended to preserve a portion of the Zheng family's bloodline, but who could have imagined that their bedmate would be Wufeng?
Wu Feng's move is incredibly clever; rescuing a delicate young girl as a hero—who could resist that? Miyazaki, for one, certainly couldn't.
