Chapter 5: Entering the Palace for the First Time



Gu Junwen would never admit that he was too afraid of the cold and was thus forced to come to Kyoto half-willingly and half-unwillingly.

But no matter what, Ye Nanyi was the object of her curse.

Bastard, is it rude to pull someone's blanket off in such a cold weather? Where is his character?

"Host, please be patient." The Machiavellian System 101 could only comfort her.

"How can I be quiet! First I have the hatred of my younger brother taking my quilt away, and then I have the hatred of my older brother making me kneel down. Don't think I can't see that these two brothers are trying to intimidate me right from the start."

Gu Junwen was so angry that he said, "Humph, Ye Nanyi is done."

After a stick of incense, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps coming from outside the door.

"Your Highness, please slow down." Eunuch Cai's sharp voice came.

A group of young eunuchs hurriedly supported a drunk and unsteady man into the hall.

"Royal brother, what do you want to call me for?" The man asked from a distance, staggering again.

Fortunately, with the support of the young eunuch beside him, he was able to stagger to the steps and finally stand beside Gu Junwen.

Gu Junwen looked over secretly and recognized that this person was the Southern King Ye Nanyiyi who had kidnapped her and brought her to Kyoto.

"You are so unruly all day long." Emperor Mingde scolded with a smile.

Eunuch Cai walked back to Emperor Mingde and whispered a few words.

Jun Wen was close, so he could barely hear it clearly.

"Your Majesty, the King of the South was indeed drunk and fell asleep in the Zuiyan Pavilion in the Imperial Garden."

Emperor Mingde then nodded, his expression becoming even more amiable.

After exhorting the Southern Prince for a long time, Emperor Mingde finally got to the point: "Nan Yi, Young General Gu has just arrived in Kyoto, and you are the one who brought him here. The Gu Mansion in Kyoto cannot be built in the short term, so in the meantime, let Young General Gu stay in your mansion temporarily."

The emperor's words were final and would not tolerate any questioning or rebuttal. The people below the steps had no choice but to suppress their thoughts and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

Ye Nanyi raised his eyelids and glanced at Gu Junwen with drunken eyes. After a long while, he said with disdain: "Your humble servant obeys your order."

"Help him down quickly!" Emperor Mingde waved his sleeves helplessly, and a young eunuch quickly stepped forward again to help Ye Nanyi back to his seat.

Gu Junwen felt itchy in his heart when he heard the anger.

Damn it. Do you look down on a salted fish so much? Salted fish also have dignity.

He hasn't yet settled the score for kidnapping her.

It just so happened that Ye Nanyi was drunk, and the gentlemen in the hall were busy toasting each other and scheming against each other.

For the first time, Gu Junwen's feet reacted faster than his brain and he couldn't help but stretch them out.

Everyone heard a noise and saw Ye Nanyi suddenly lose his balance and fall to the ground in a mess.

The young eunuchs rushed forward and chaos broke out again in the Golden Terrace.

Everyone in the hall was talking about it, but Gu Junwen was the only one left, with a look of horror on her face, standing there in a daze, because she heard Ye Nanyiyi's thoughts.

"Gu Junwen, you are courting death. You dare to trip me! Just wait for me!"

It's over, the person was pretending to be drunk.

She had heard that characters in political intrigue stories were always patient and would not take action easily. Ye Nanyi should be the same, right?

Even when he got on the carriage to Prince Nan's Palace, Gu Junwen was still worried.

"Host, you don't have to worry so much. It should be fine."

After hearing Gu Junwen sigh for the 800th time, the Machiavellian System 101 couldn't help but speak, "After all, Ye Nanyi is just the most dissolute prince in Kyoto, he..."

However, as the system spoke, it became less certain and its voice lowered.

King Nan, you don’t look like a petty person, right?

"Host, don't worry. I will bring you the best food every year on this day."

"Okay, I'll fry the system. I love it!"

"All of them, now people are at my mercy. Tell me, why is it so difficult to be a salted fish?" Gu Junwen leaned lazily in the carriage with a sad look on his face.

Thinking back to the banquet at the Golden Terrace, Gu Junwen couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up.

At the banquet, after Emperor Mingde solved her accommodation problem, he left the table on the pretext of feeling unwell.

In an instant, Gu Junwen was surrounded by all the adults. As they toasted each other and chatted loudly, physical contact was inevitable, so all kinds of inner voices entered her ears.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, but they are here playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio with a salted fish like her.

Gu Junwen practiced Tai Chi with a smile on his face, which made him physically and mentally exhausted. These big shots are really difficult to deal with. Everyone has his own little calculations in his mind. If you are not careful, you may offend someone.

I am so tired. Gu Junwen changed his posture, wondering when this day would end.

In another carriage

"Your Highness." A black-clad secret guard suddenly appeared and knelt on one knee in front of Ye Nanyi.

"Tell me about it." Ye Nanyi's face did not show any sign of drunkenness at this moment. He leisurely sipped the newly served Biluochun tea.

The guard's voice was flat and without any emotion: "Your Majesty, Gu Junwen is in a daze and is not doing anything."

"Oh?" Ye Nanyi showed some interest, "Since he is so good at hiding, it's no wonder that my brother is so afraid of him. Gu Junwen is not simple.

Ye Nan stretched his knee which was hurt from the fall. This was the first time he suffered such a loss.

"Go and check again what Gu Junwen's real purpose is in entering Kyoto. If he interferes with my plan, I will spare his life as a descendant of a loyal minister." Ye Nan said.

"Yes." The secret guard responded and disappeared.

"Beep. Detected that the male protagonist is interested in you." The sound of the Machiavellian System 101 rang out.

Gu Junwen only wanted to be a salted fish, so he just raised his eyelids out of boredom when he heard it: "Tongtong, now can you tell me who is the unlucky male protagonist who hasn't appeared in the first 100 chapters?"
