Just at this moment, two sparrows flew past the window, their wings touching, playing happily and affectionately, spinning in circles and somersaults from time to time.
The slightly solemn atmosphere was instantly broken, and meeting Gu Yanfei's calm gaze, Gu Yunzhen smiled.
Everything is implied.
She is obsessed with appearance.
"I understand!" After thinking for a while, Gu Yunzhen held Gu Yanfei's hand and said solemnly, "Second sister, I will help persuade grandma."
Gu Yanfei couldn't help but laugh.
She said these things to Gu Yunzhen not to vent her emotions nor to ask for anything in return, but just to follow her heart.
"Big sister, you are so nice!"
Gu Yanfei stretched out two fingers and pinched a corner of Gu Yunzhen's handkerchief, shook the handkerchief gently, and then leaned against her slender shoulders. The corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up, and her bright smile was as clear and bright as the sky after the rain.
Her big sister is so cute! Seeing her little sister leaning on her, Gu Yunzhen felt soft in her heart. She gently stroked the little girl's soft hair and thought: She is the eldest sister, so she should naturally be the support of her younger sisters.
"Chirp!" A sparrow spread its wings and flew over the window, then swooped down towards the pavilion below, with another sparrow chasing closely.
The two people who had been standing quietly in the pavilion for a long time finally moved.
Fang Mingfeng suddenly took a step forward, and couldn't help but raise his arms to embrace Gu Yunmeng in his arms. His deep and hoarse voice seemed to come from the depths of his chest: "Menmeng, if there was no Gu Yanfei, could we be together?!"
At this moment, Fang Mingfeng's murderous intent rose again, and his eyes were slightly blood red.
That’s right, it’s Gu Yanfei.
It was Gu Yanfei who insisted on intervening and standing between him and her.
His daughter was the kindest and most beautiful, so he could only give in! Fang Mingfeng's movements were so gentle and compassionate, as if any force would hurt her.
Gu Yun'er let out a low cry. She had never expected that Fang Mingfeng, who was always so polite, would suddenly do such a rude thing. She was caught off guard and hugged tightly.
She subconsciously tried to push him away: "Let me go!"
He won't let go! Fang Mingfeng's desire surged out.
"Auntie!"
A cold male voice suddenly sounded, scaring the two sparrows in the air so much that they almost lost their souls. They flew around in panic, and a few brown feathers floated down.
At some point, the sun in the sky was blocked by dense clouds, the sky became a little gloomy, and the autumn wind brought scattered leaves and fallen flowers.
Gu Yanfei looked in the direction of the sound with great interest, and as expected, he caught a glimpse of a slender and strong purple figure in the flower corridor next to the pavilion.
Anger surged on Prince Kang's handsome face. He rushed into the pavilion like a gust of wind and approached Gu Yun'er and Fang Mingfeng.
Hey, King Kang is finally here! In other words, I didn't find the wrong place. Gu Yanfei curled his lips with a smile, and his slender jade fingers caressed the gourd-shaped purse on his waist a few times.
But what about this extra Fang Mingfeng?
"Fang Mingfeng, let go of Meng'er!" King Kang was furious when he saw Fang Mingfeng flirting with Gu Yun'er. He raised his fist and punched him, creating a gust of wind.
Fang Mingfeng quickly moved sideways to avoid King Kang's punch.
Prince Kang saw the opportunity and grabbed Gu Yunmeng's wrist and pulled her to his side.
He was a martial artist with great strength. Gu Yun'er felt the pain on his left wrist. He frowned in pain and resisted subconsciously.
"Your Highness, let her go." Fang Mingfeng's face turned stern. He hurriedly took a few steps forward, facing King Kang's angry eyes fearlessly, and grabbed the other's wrist.
The three of them froze there in a strange posture.
“How dare you!” The anger in King Kang’s eyes grew even stronger, and his whole body was like a sword drawn from its sheath, exuding coldness.
He came to Prince Jing's Mansion today because he heard that Gu Yun'er would be coming. He wanted to explain to her in person that the selection of the concubine was the Queen Mother's idea and not his wish, and he would not let the Queen Mother manipulate him. However, he did not expect to see Fang Mingfeng being very attentive to Gu Yun'er as soon as he arrived at the palace, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Prince Kang also knew that Gu Yunyan and Fang Mingfeng were childhood sweethearts, and he could see that Prince Xiang was interested, but the goddess was not.
Prince Kang didn't like Fang Mingfeng hanging around Gu Yunmeng, and he hinted at Fang Mingfeng's intentions more than once, but Gu Yunmeng insisted that she and Fang Mingfeng were as close as brother and sister.
She said that she only had herself in her heart.
King Kang felt sweet for a moment, but it was soon replaced by anger, and he wished he could cut Fang Mingfeng into pieces.
Fang Mingfeng was still so evil that he wanted to take advantage of the situation and was rude to his daughter, Meng'er! King Kang was afraid that Fang Mingfeng would sow discord between them, so he said to Gu Yun'er anxiously, "Meng'er, believe me, you are my only princess."
"You are the only one in my heart!"
These two short sentences express the author's true feelings in a powerful and passionate way.
Gu Yun'er looked at King Kang with slightly red eyes, and an indescribable sour feeling arose in her heart. She was a little moved, a little sighed... and also felt very sweet.
Of course she believed him and the person she loved, but she also knew that the Queen Mother's mind might not be so easily shaken.
Although Prince Kang's status seems honorable, it is actually like oil boiling on a raging fire. Now that the eldest prince Chu Yi has returned, Prince Kang's situation has become even more difficult. The Queen Mother must want to win over the hearts of the people for Prince Kang by selecting a concubine.
In this era of supreme imperial power, marriage is often just a tool to gain power.
"Fang Mingfeng," Gu Yun'er's gaze seemed to encourage King Kang. He looked at Fang Mingfeng with contempt and said coldly, "What qualifications do you have to ask me to 'let her go'?! Don't forget, you are engaged. You are not worthy of Meng'er!"
The word "engagement" was like a heavy hammer hitting Fang Mingfeng's heart. His face turned blue and white. He slapped King Kang in anger and used his other hand to grab Gu Yunmeng.
King Kang snorted disdainfully, drew the long sword at his waist, and swung the sword with its cold and shining blade towards Fang Mingfeng.
Seeing this, Gu Yunyan's expression also changed, and he whispered, "Your Highness, don't do it!"
Gu Yun'er tried to stop the fight, but King Kang's sword still chopped down fiercely. The sword tip cut through the air like a silver lightning. Fang Mingfeng naturally would not sit still and wait for death, so he dodged again.
“Zheng!”
The sword blade, which could cut through iron like mud, struck a column of the pavilion, leaving a deep sword mark that was shocking to the eye.
Gu Yun'er's pupils shrank suddenly and her face turned pale. She couldn't bear to watch Fang Mingfeng get hurt, so she grabbed the scabbard from King Kang's waist and threw it to Fang Mingfeng.
This action further angered King Kang, and he swung the sword in his hand again like thunder...
Fang Mingfeng immediately blocked King Kang's sword with his scabbard, sparks flying.
Neither of the two men was willing to give in. The pavilion was filled with the flashing of swords and sabers, and several of the columns were covered with sword marks.
Several tiles on the pavilion fell from above, hit the ground and shattered into countless pieces.
