In the Yaoling Realm, becoming a Taoist couple is a very solemn matter, which affects the next few hundred or even thousand years. Once the contract is made, the souls of the two will be marked by each other, and they must share life and death.
It's different from this world.
Gu Yanfei couldn't help but look at Chu Yi.
Chu Yi, who was a few steps away, stared at her without blinking.
In the backlight, the deep red teardrop mole at the corner of his eye was dazzling, his phoenix eyes were black and bright, his pupils were like black jade and the bright starry sky, shining brightly, so beautiful that it made people's heart palpitate.
Boom boom! Gu Yanfei's heartbeat quickened slightly, and her mind suddenly flashed back to the comment made by the senior sister when she was in the Yaoling Realm: "Girl, you always like beautiful things, whether they are things or people."
Boom boom boom! The wind blew, and the petal in the girl's palm was blown away again, flew over the guardrail, fell into the lake, and drifted away with the lake water...
Gu Yanfei just pursed his lips slightly and said nothing, but the emperor was over fifty years old, so there was nothing he couldn't understand. He showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
It turns out that the girl doesn't like my son yet.
The emperor stood up while stroking his beard, and couldn't help curling his lips in laughter.
Oh. He needs to talk to his son about how to coax the little girl.
Back then, he fell in love with the queen at first sight and put a lot of effort into trying to please her.
Peonies, peonies, parrots, carp, snacks, silk flowers, jade flutes, etc. He found out about everything the little girl liked and gave it all to her.
After a few interactions, don’t you know what your loved one likes? !
When he returns to the East Warm Pavilion later, he will have a good chat with his son, and they, father and son, will also have a candlelight chat at night.
If you like a girl, you can't just wait silently, you have to take the initiative! The emperor adjusted his sleeves in a good mood and also greeted Fengyang.
Fengyang patted her dress, laughed loudly, and said meaningfully: "Today's 'play' is really good. I am also tired. It's time to go back home."
Fengyang went north and the emperor went south.
Anle naturally followed her father. The little girl even turned around and waved the small orange lantern in her hand to say goodbye to Gu Yanfei, which made Gu Yanfei smile.
"Farewell, His Majesty. Farewell, Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess."
Others on the pleasure boat either bowed or performed rituals to see the emperor off, their voices uniform and unison.
With the departure of the emperor, Fengyang and others, the people accompanying him also left. The pleasure boat suddenly became much emptier, and the atmosphere could no longer return to its previous joyous atmosphere.
Although they didn't explicitly say that the banquet was over, now that such a big thing had happened, it was impossible for the palace to keep them overnight.
Then, the others said goodbye one after another and gradually dispersed.
In the blink of an eye, there were only seven or eight people left on the pleasure boat, and it was very deserted.
On the stage in the cabin, the actors started singing again at some point, but no one was aware of it, and no one even remembered what the actors had sung.
"Your Highness." Gu Yunyan walked over to Chu You who was standing by the guardrail and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, things haven't reached the point where they are irreversible."
She gently held his large hand covered with thin calluses, and they intertwined their fingers in his sleeves, palms against palms, feeling each other's body temperature.
His palms were hot, and hers were cold.
Chu You looked at the direction where the emperor left with a gloomy look. The bright yellow figure had already gone into the distance, and only a blurry shadow was left.
He held Gu Yun'er's soft and delicate little hand tightly, trying to warm her hands, and his iron heart softened because of her closeness.
He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Of course."
"The Queen Mother was helped to reach this position by the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family cannot do without the Queen Mother." And vice versa, it is also true.
After Emperor Taizu founded the country, he deliberately suppressed the aristocratic families. In order to protect themselves, the aristocratic families from all over the country had no choice but to unite and form an alliance.
Later, after discussion, several major families chose the daughter of Yuan as the successor to the late emperor, and created an opportunity for Yuan to meet the late emperor in the capital. Afterwards, the families paved the way for her step by step, allowing her to secure the position of the empress.
The Empress Dowager Yuan also gave back to the various families and became a bridge between the late emperor and the aristocratic families. Twenty years later, the aristocratic families finally had a foothold in the court again. Whether it was the cabinet, the six ministries, the three departments, or the Hanlin Academy, there were people from the aristocratic families holding high positions.
The emperor has only been on the throne for a year, and he hasn't even sat firmly on the throne, but he is already eager to seize power and suppress the aristocratic families. He is really overestimating his own abilities.
Chu You's eyes were dark and gloomy, with a gloomy edge flashing across them.
"Sister Meng."
A gentle female voice sounded from not far behind.
Gu Yun'er turned around and saw the Marquis' wife, Wang, slowly coming out of the cabin. She was looking at her from about five or six feet away, with a frown on her face.
"I'm leaving first." Gu Yun'er gently rubbed the back of his hand twice with her index finger, then loosened their clasped hands and showed him her bright dimples.
Then, Gu Yunmeng walked away slowly.
Chu You looked at Gu Yun'er's departing back, and naturally noticed Wang's gloomy and unnatural expression. A sarcastic sneer escaped from his thin lips.
He shook the hand that he had just held with Gu Yunmeng, as if he was still lingering on the body temperature and the lingering fragrance she left behind.
Most people in the world look down on the weak, but his daughter is different from them.
"Yanfei, sister Yun'er, it's getting late, we should leave the palace." Wang greeted Gu Yanfei and Gu Yun'er with a little stiffness, and quickly glanced at Chu You who was beside the guardrail.
The three of them left in a hurry.
On the lakeshore, Eunuch He had been waiting there for a long time, with a sedan chair ready and a very attentive smile on his face.
Gu Yanfei was carried back to Xihua Gate without even touching the ground.
Wang was restless all the way. When she got on the carriage, her hands and voice were shaking: "Hurry. Go back quickly."
Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunmeng were still sitting in a carriage, just like when they came. The two sat face to face, silent for a long time.
Gu Yunmeng looked at Gu Yanfei calmly with a peaceful expression.
Gu Yanfei leaned lazily against the wall of the compartment, playing with the small orange lantern that Anle gave her for her own amusement. The candlelight in the orange lamp flickered, and the flame was reflected in Gu Yanfei's dark pupils, making her eyes sparkle.
Gu Yunyan stared at Gu Yanfei for a long time. When the carriage turned, she couldn't help but say, "It's wrong for you to do this."
Gu Yanfei looked up at her with a puzzled expression and raised his eyebrows.
Gu Yunyan said as a matter of course: "Miss Yu has long been deeply in love with the eldest prince. You shouldn't forcefully interfere in other people's feelings."
