Chapter 682 Congratulations Yuan Zun
The brilliant and dazzling fireworks bloomed in the dark night, and the stars fell into the eyes of the four people who were looking at each other at this moment.
At the same time, it felt as if something in the chest suddenly exploded.
Then at the same time, the two of them withdrew their hands at the same time, as if they had suddenly come to their senses.
Wu Lie watched her withdraw her hand, secretly clenched his palm, and then quickly loosened it, as if nothing had happened. He reached out again, picked up the fingernail-sized jade piece on the ground and put it away.
Although his face showed no emotion, he knew that his breathing rate was wrong.
Just hope she doesn't notice.
Gu Qingquan certainly didn't notice it.
The moment she withdrew her hand, she stood up, but she couldn't explain how she felt at that moment, or just now.
It's not like the two of them haven't had skin contact before, whether it was when they were children or when he fell off a cliff to save her, but there was clearly no excessive feeling at that time.
But in that brief moment just now, whether it was the unintentional touch or those eyes as deep as the pool, it made her heart inexplicably skip a beat.
Even the fingertips that were touched seemed to be slightly hot.
The fireworks not far above their heads were still blooming tirelessly, further highlighting the calm atmosphere between the two of them. After a long time, it was Gu Qingquan who broke the silence first.
“A new year is coming again.”
It was a clear sound, without much emotion, but one could hear the joy in the voice.
On the New Year's Eve of the first year after entering the palace, she spent the first time with so many people, but she felt strange and lonely.
She disliked the palace, but she never showed it.
If she had not constantly established the belief in her loyalty to the emperor and her master, she might not have been willing to stay within the palace walls for a moment.
But this year, she is happy.
Because she found an old friend.
An old friend who is very important to her.
"Ariel, Happy New Year."
Gu Qingquan looked at him, his eyebrows slightly curved, and he smiled gently and proudly.
Colorful fireworks bloomed above her head, illuminating her face.
Wu Lie felt as if his heart was hit lightly, and then it began beating uncontrollably faster.
Just like every time I saw her.
The only difference is that now he can stand in front of her without reservation and even tell her in person,
"Happy New Year."
Gu Qingquan said nothing more, but turned his head to admire the gorgeous fireworks in the sky.
The two of them just stood there quietly.
In the new year, something seems to have changed quietly.
…
Far away at the other end of Baohua Hall.
Yuan Zun, dressed in silver-white clothes, stood alone in the center of the courtyard.
The brilliant fireworks above our heads did not bring any warmth, and the New Year's Eve was still chilly.
He looked up at the fireworks quietly for a while, thinking that the little fox should like such a lively scene.
Imagine the fat fox jumping around happily at this moment, and his handsome face, which was so cold that it seemed to know no joy or sorrow, actually showed a rare smile, until a voice came from behind him.
"He Yuanzun! It's you after all!"
The boy's voice still had a bit of childishness, but it also carried a bit of disgust and defiance.
Yuan Zun glanced at the person indifferently. The person who came was a boy of about ten years old. He was dressed in gold, gems and jade, which showed his wealth. His slightly fat body and fleshy cheeks concealed his originally decent facial features by seven points.
Yuan Zun only glanced at the young man calmly, then opened his mouth and asked, "Who?"
When the boy heard his question, his eyes, which were not big to begin with, widened dramatically.
Pointing at Yuan Zun, he cursed, "You are a monster born out of wedlock, and you dare to pretend that you don't know me! My mother is right, you really have forgotten your family after you got rich, you are a heartless ungrateful person!"
The smile on Yuan Zun's lips had long since disappeared, leaving only a calm and indifferent expression on his face. He was completely unmoved by the insults from the young man in front of him, but his memory finally made him remember the other person's identity.
Oh, it turned out to be the precious eldest grandson of the He family. I forgot his specific name, so let’s just call him He’s eldest grandson.
According to his current identity, the eldest grandson of He should have called him uncle. Unfortunately, because of his white skin and white hair, the He family has regarded him as a monster and an unfortunate existence since he was a child, let alone acknowledge his identity.
Even though he remembered the other person's identity, Yuan Zun had no intention of paying any attention to him. He turned around and walked back.
Baohua Palace was the residence of Qin Tianjian in the previous dynasty. It was now given to him by Helian Yue as his residence as the national teacher. He was also allowed to live in the palace as the national teacher. In short, this is Yuanzun's territory.
The Baohua Palace seemed to be deserted, but in fact, it was guarded by imperial guards. Yuan Zun usually didn't like people hanging around him, so when he didn't want to see anyone, there would be no one around. But if someone wanted to "break into the palace", these people would show up.
He didn't want to pay attention to such an idiot's pestering. He Changsun had been spoiled at home since he was a child. He had never been ignored like this, especially by such a despicable person. He was so angry that he didn't dare to rush over and hit him. He simply picked up a stone from the flowerbed next to him and threw it at him.
Yuan Zun heard the movement behind him and was about to dodge, but suddenly he seemed to notice something and his feet paused slightly, and he stood still.
He Changsun was distracted by the sound of quick running coming from not far away. The next second, he saw a round little figure rushing towards him.
