Chapter 2664 Blocking the Road
The driver, who had been left behind by the crowd and the Goguryeo guards, forced his way forward, staring at them intently. "Mr. Lou, we don't have the silk you're looking for here. There are only small vendors here, and the shop is over there."
The guard stopped him and said, "Our young master wants to eat some buns. You are the coachman, so you just need to take care of the carriage."
After saying that, he took Lou Mian hostage and walked towards the bun shop.
The guards in the princess's mansion are not fools. They will not stop the princess from communicating with civilians, but the people who came over were obviously not civilians.
Not to mention that Lou Mian's face was barely familiar, but the guards on either side of him were all armed with swords, so someone immediately stepped forward to block him, frowning and asking, "Who is coming?"
The guard pushed Lou Mian and looked at him warningly.
Wei Yu and Princess Changyu turned their heads to look over. Changyu was still pecking at the persimmon flesh in her mouth. When she saw Lou Mian, she almost spit out the persimmon flesh in her mouth.
But she held it in, but she couldn't help coughing.
Wei Yu quickly took out a handkerchief and gave it to her. Chang Yu covered her mouth, thus avoiding losing her composure in public.
The palace maids behind her were also startled when they saw Lou Mian, and they all looked at Wei Yu with some guilt.
Changyu wiped his mouth and looked over.
Lou Mian waited quietly until Chang Yu looked over, then he bowed and said, "Disciple Lou Mian greets the princess. Princess...how are you?"
Wei Yu stared at Lou Mian's face. He had heard similar rumors that Princess Changyu liked good-looking people. This one... looked a little familiar.
Wei Yu had a good memory. Moreover, both of them had been classmates at the Imperial College, although he was there at the time while the other was studying at the Four Gates Academy.
Wei Yu suddenly remembered and realized what was going on. He smiled and said, "Are you an envoy from Goguryeo?"
Lou Mian nodded in agreement and looked at Princess Changyu with a loving gaze.
Princess Changyu: ...
Wei Yu also turned to look at Princess Changyu and asked in a low voice, "Princess, do you know him?"
Princess Changyu said, "I've met her several times."
She nodded modestly to Lou Mian, snatched the plate from the prince consort's hand, handed it to the maid, and asked her to return it to the shopkeeper. Then she lifted her skirt and said, "Let's go. My parents-in-law are still waiting for us at home."
She stood in front of the stool, raised her chin slightly towards Wei Yu, and raised her hand slightly, indicating that he should support her.
Wei Yu couldn't help but smile and stepped forward to hold the princess's hand, helping her onto the carriage. Then he turned around and bowed to Lou Mian in return, then stepped onto the stool and got into the carriage.
Lou Mian opened his mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time. After thinking for a moment, he took two steps to the side to make way for them.
The guard saw this and felt unwilling, so he kept hinting at him to go up and say something more.
Lou Mian frowned slightly and remained silent.
After the princess' carriage had left and was far away, he spoke before the guard lost his temper, "You've seen the princess's attitude. Further nagging will only add to the disgust. It will only harm what the prince is about to do, not benefit him."
He added, "Besides, seeing the details of how the princess and her husband interact, it's obviously beyond the reach of someone like me who has only met them a few times."
If Princess Changyu really had feelings for him, he would have had such a great opportunity to study at the Four-Door Academy, but she never overstepped her bounds. At most, she would ask him out for tea or dinner, and she didn't even have the patience to listen to him talk about Goguryeo customs.
Chang Yu sat in the car, her back straight, and she said nothing. Wei Yu poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Chang Yu. Then she poured her own cup and looked at her. "Princess, what's wrong? You seem very nervous?"
Princess Changyu snorted coldly, raised her chin proudly and said, "Why should I be nervous? If you have anything to ask, just ask it."
Wei Yu shook his head and smiled: "No."
Princess Changyu frowned, "No?"
Wei Yu smiled and said, "Yes, no."
He joked, "Just now, the princess was only stunned for a moment when she saw Mr. Lou, and she still remembered me, her husband. I remember that in the past, when the princess saw Mr. Yang, she didn't even blink, and even ignored me for a while."
He smiled and said, "I should be thankful that it was Lou Mian who came today, not Lord Yang."
Princess Changyu's cheeks flushed, and she couldn't help but shout, "When did I see that Lord Yang had forgotten you?"
That's too many. Not to mention what happened before the engagement, two such things happened after their engagement. The one that Wei Yu remembers most vividly is the smallpox outbreak in Xiazhou that year. Yang Heshu rushed back from Xiazhou in a shabby outfit to apologize.
At that time, he entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor and empress, and saw Yang Heshu walking from the palace gate into the Taiji Hall to apologize. Princess Changyu, who seldom came to the Taiji Hall, pulled Princess Mingda to stand in the corridor to watch him, her eyes immediately reddened. He walked to her side and she stood there for a long time without noticing.
Chang Yu also remembered this incident, and looked away with a guilty conscience, then turned back and said to him fiercely: "Master Yang is good-looking, so I just like looking at him, isn't that okay?"
Wei Yu smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
It was only after they got married that he slowly figured out Changyu's personality. The maids and even the eunuchs serving in their courtyard and house were more beautiful than those in other places.
So, what does he have to mind?
At this time, Princess Mingda and Bai Er, who had just arrived at the gate of Zhou's house, also encountered someone blocking the road, no, they encountered someone blocking the door.
There was a carriage and several horses parked directly in front of Zhou's house, and a man who looked like an attendant was talking to the doorman.
The group of people stopped here, directly blocking their car frame.
Bai Erlang lifted the curtain and looked forward. The gatekeeper had already spotted their carriage. Even though he was good-tempered, he couldn't help but toughen up a bit and said to the entangled followers, "We will send the invitation, but today is the fourteenth, and my master really doesn't have time to entertain guests. Your master should go back first. Once my master has read the invitation, he will send someone to invite you."
After that, he ignored him and turned around and shouted inside: "Come out quickly to pick them up, the young master and the princess are back."
After saying this, he pushed aside his attendants and trotted over to meet him. When he reached the carriage, he bent down and said with a smile, "Second Young Master, you're back? Our young master just said that you would definitely be back today."
"Really? Did he prepare some delicious food?" Bai Erlang raised his chin slightly and looked ahead, asking, "Who's that in front?"
Just as he was asking, the attendant trotted back to the carriage to report, then the curtain was lifted and a man got out of the carriage.
Bai Erlang had only met Gao You two or three times and had completely forgotten him, so he glanced at him and then looked away, asking the doorman, "Who is this man?"
The doorman said gloomily, "He said he was a friend of the young master. He even had a visiting card from the young master's past in his hand. He also said we were classmates. But I asked someone to go in and ask, and they said they were busy today. Second Young Master, don't you know him?"
That's impossible. Aren't the young master's friends and classmates all the second young master's friends and classmates?
See you at 9pm
