Seeing that she couldn't convince Zhang Ling, Gu Yufei had no choice but to speak.
"What we want is simple, and Madam can afford it. We are attracted to Madam."
"Master Zhang wants me to be his wife?"
"Although I am a eunuch and lack something, I don't have such an unpleasant name as 'dui shi'. I can marry a wife and take concubines. If you and Fu Xiuqi divorce, I will marry you into my family."
"Master Zhang, have you forgotten that I am the Prime Minister's daughter, the fourth daughter of the Gu family? Even though I am divorced from Fu Xiuqi, I don't have to marry you."
Gu Yufei was puzzled. Given her status and position, Lord Zhang shouldn't be so presumptuous. While the East Depot's influence was gradually growing, it was no match for the Prime Minister, and her father was currently second only to the Prime Minister.
Before Gu Yufei could figure it out, Zhang Ling leaned in close and gave her a quick kiss on the ear. "Mrs. Fu, we'll be waiting for your reply."
……………………………………
When it came to the lantern riddle guessing session, Fu Xiuqi realized that Gu Yufei was not around. After walking back for a while, he found that she was walking alone on the palace road with an unnatural expression on her face.
Gu Yufei thought: "Master Zhang can be so presumptuous, it must be with the emperor's tacit approval. Does this mean that the emperor wants to weaken my father's power? If so, will my father be in danger?"
Gu Yufei is not good at analyzing political trends, and she is not interested in history, so she can only guess.
"Where did you go just now?" Fu Xiuqi showed rare concern.
"Nothing, I just got lost."
Seeing that Gu Yufei was unwilling to talk, Fu Xiuqi didn't say anything else.
"Madam, madam, this dessert is delicious." Chunhua came over with a small dessert, breaking the silence between Gu Yufei and Fu Xiuqi.
"What does this smell like?"
"This is lychee flavor, ma'am. You used to love it. One time you brought back ten and gave two each to Chunhua and Xiayu. Chunhua has never forgotten the taste. It's sour and sweet, and so delicious."
The sweet and sour taste made Gu Yufei feel better.
"Come on, let's go over there and take a look." Gu Yufei pulled Chunhua, left Fu Xiuqi, and walked towards where the desserts were placed.
This woman is getting weirder and weirder.
Tonight, I need to ask Suifeng to pay attention to what she's been doing lately. Why is she becoming increasingly cold towards him? Does she have a new love?
Zhang Ling watched Fu Xiuqi following alone from a distance, a smile appearing on his lips.
"Sir, there's news from Miss Shaoyao from Wanhua Tower." Little Lizi stepped forward and said.
"Prepare the sedan chair and go to Wanhua Tower now."
"yes."
Leo took care of everything with ease.
Zhang Ling arrived at Wanhua Tower late at night.
He liked Gu Yufei and Shaoyao as well. Gu Yufei had the kind of shy and cool beauty that people could only dream of, while Shaoyao possessed a gentle, considerate, and enchanting beauty. Each had their own unique qualities, and one as a wife and the other as a concubine was just right for them.
Shaoyao is playing the zither.
Her piano music was melodious, sometimes soaring in the sky, sometimes sinking into the sea, and Zhang Ling was intoxicated by it.
"Master Zhang, I'm a little tired." Shaoyao leaned on Zhang Ling's body, as if she had no bones.
"Why, I just arrived and you're tired?" Zhang Ling raised his eyebrows. His powdered face and slightly red lips were a bit creepy in the candlelight.
If it were another woman, she would be scared to death.
But the person he faced was not ordinary.
