Dinner?
Gu Yunzhou looked up at the sky.
Now it is past the hour of Chou and it is already the first day of the new year.
and…
He lowered his eyes to look at the red robe embroidered with flowers, which was extremely festive, and frowned slightly, especially at his hands.
Gu Yunzhou opened his right hand, and black lines spread across it. These were caused by his inner elixir. The inner elixir had absorbed the demonic energy, and now the demonic energy had spread to his body, so except for his face, his entire body was covered with black lines.
Gu Yunzhou frowned, then stood up and left.
"Ancestor, I have prepared your favorite ingredients."
After a while, Gu Changtian personally brought in a lot of delicious food.
Although the Gu family dinner had ended long ago, his ancestor had just arrived home, so he naturally had to accompany him.
But...his ancestor was gone, and Gu Changtian's old face instantly fell, and he instantly became unhappy.
"Where is the ancestor? Why did you leave after coming back so quickly?"
Could it be that she left because she thought he was too ugly and had no appetite?
But… he's over a hundred years old now, so it's normal for him to look a little less youthful than he did back then. Perhaps he could ask the old ancestor for some rejuvenation pills tomorrow? That way, the old ancestor wouldn't look down on him.
Gu Changtian was just thinking when the door behind him opened.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Yunzhou walked out.
He changed his robe into a red robe that Gu Changtian had specially ordered someone to prepare. The layers were very thick and it looked very festive, like a mascot. He walked over to sit opposite Gu Changtian, took a look at the food on the table, and then handed a red envelope to Gu Changtian.
"A gift for you."
Gu Changtian was stunned for a moment, holding the red envelope with tears in his eyes.
Woo woo woo…
The ancestor is so nice.
No matter how old he is, he is like a child in front of the ancestor, woooo.
Gu Yunzhou glanced at him and said calmly, "The food is cold, hurry up and eat."
"good!"
——
As soon as the sun rises.
It was supposed to be the first day of the new year.
They should be happy, but something happened in the palace.
Yesterday, the royal family held a sacrifice ceremony. Those who kept vigil were the Crown Prince, Princess Ruyue, and several princes. Even the Emperor and Princess Yongning went to keep vigil in person. However, in the second half of the night, Prince Ding Xuanyuan Che led a group of people to force the palace and usurp the throne.
"In previous years, it was Prince Ding who stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year, but this year Prince Ding is gone. It's only natural that Prince Ding is so arrogant and can't accept it."
"And it would be fine if Prince Ding wasn't there, but even Princess Ruyue went to observe the New Year's Eve. As the second prince, he wasn't able to attend the New Year's Eve, and he didn't even attend the palace banquet. It's normal for him to do something like this, but... wasn't he crippled before?"
"A few months ago, the palace went hunting, and Prince Ding and Princess Ding also joined in. However, they encountered danger. Princess Ding was attacked and killed by a wild beast, and Prince Ding was injured and his legs were crippled. He stayed in Prince Ding's mansion all day and never came out. Now he is leading his troops in rebellion. So, was his previous disability just a pretense?"
"I really didn't expect Prince Ding to have such a mind."
"Also, Prince Ding summoned a giant python from nowhere, and it's been wreaking havoc in the palace, even collapsing Chongming Hall. Not only did they assassinate Emperor Yongding, but it seems the princes and princesses inside are also in danger..."
In the imperial city.
Some news came out from the palace last night.
The people of the entire imperial city were talking about it.
Bai family.
Bai Yanyan had just come out of the Divine Island and was already very sleepy. Just as she lay down to sleep, the door was kicked open by Si Fei.
"Junior sister, don't sleep."
"Hurry up and get up, we are going to do something big!"
“Hmm…?”
Bai Yanyan, who was pulled out of bed, rubbed her eyes and looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Go and rip off all the uncles and aunties' pants... ahem, no, on the first day of the new year, I should go ask them for New Year's gifts."
He felt that he was only eighteen years old and still a child who needed gifts, but the people in the Bai family, especially the uncle, were very gentle not to beat him up, let alone give him a gift, so he had to come to his junior sister.
Bai Yanyan: "..."
"Hurry up, hurry up, get up."
Si Fei directly picked up Bai Yanyan and sat her down in front of a bronze mirror.
But this time he didn't mess up his hair. Instead, he asked Bai Ruochen, who had rushed back overnight after learning that Bai Yun had returned to the Bai family, to pull it up and asked Bai Ruochen to help him tie his hair.
"Little Liuzi, be cute."
"Make two meatballs, they're so cute."
Bai Ruochen glanced at him, then focused on doing Bai Yanyan's hair.
The junior sister's hair was very long and smooth, and she was groggy as she had just woken up. She sat swaying from side to side with her cheeks puffed out, looking extremely cute. He thought for a moment before fixing her hair.
The hair was divided into two halves and rolled into a big cute bun on both sides, tied with a fluffy white hairband with red tassels hanging down, which was fluffy and cute.
"hairpin…"
Bai Yanyan pointed at the peach blossom hairpin.
"This hairpin is so ordinary, just an ordinary hairpin." Si Fei picked up the hairpin and took a look at it, then complained: "Junior sister, this hairpin is too ordinary, wait for Senior Brother to find you some golden hairpins."
"No, I want this hairpin."
Bai Ruochen put the hairpin on her, took down her bangs, put on some makeup for her, and then let her change her clothes.
The clothes were prepared by her aunt and specially given to her.
There are also warm short and long coats for winter wear. Bai Yanyan took a look and put on the red short coat with a furry collar on the neck and sleeves. It is very warm and cute, and matches her current look very well.
"Bai Yanyan, do you want to change into something else?"
Si Fei couldn't help laughing when he saw her come out after changing. "You don't even have a neck with this fur collar. You look like a polar bear. Oh, no, like your snow lion, fat and plump!"
Bai Yanyan: ???
I suspect that you are making this up out of nothing and fabricating it out of thin air!
"Not only do I have a long neck!"
"Yes, yes, you have a neck. Come on, they're up at this hour. Let's go get him a gift. Hurry up and get the gift. I want to give Mingyue a gift!"
Bai Yanyan: So where's the gift you, the senior brother, gave me?!
