Facing everyone's thoughtful gazes, Chu Yi's eyes were calm and quiet. He walked slowly at his own pace. His sleeves and robe fluttered in the wind. His every move showed his elegance and nobility, as if he came on the clouds. It was pleasing to the eye.
He was the only one left in everyone's eyes, and everything else around him disappeared.
There was total silence in the hall, and everyone held their breath. Hundreds of eyes were staring at Chu Yi, lost in thought. Some were sizing him up, some were thinking, some were expecting, some were weighing, some were disapproving, and some were waiting to see what was happening.
What kind of impact will the eldest prince's entry into the court have on the political situation? !
This question came to the minds of the ministers, and everyone remained silent, each with their own thoughts.
Perhaps the emperor was the only one who looked at Chu Yi with such genuine joy and radiance.
His son is finally back! The moment Chu Yi stepped into the Golden Palace, the sky outside suddenly darkened, the rising sun was blocked by dark clouds, and the sky was covered by continuous dark clouds.
“Sizzle!”
A huge bolt of lightning split the sky, like a giant blade slashing down from top to bottom with unstoppable force.
Immediately afterwards, a heavy rain fell from the sky, pouring down like a waterfall.
The rainstorm formed a dense curtain of water. The bean-sized raindrops hit the tiles, branches, and the ground violently, making a rustling sound. The wet air was extremely depressing.
Gu Yanfei was drawing talismans in her boudoir. Her hands were still so steady. She put down her brush only after she finished the last stroke.
The next moment, a faint light quickly flowed back to the starting position from the end of the big red rune. The light flashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The talisman is done.
Since absorbing the spiritual energy of the jade pendant, Gu Yanfei's success rate in drawing talismans has been much higher in recent days than when he was in Danyang City.
Now she can not only draw talismans with cinnabar, but also with qi.
That day, she drew a charm on the jade pendant she gave to the Duchess of England, and combined it with the power of words, the effect was quite good.
However, that is also because the phoenix-patterned jade pendant is not an ordinary object, which is why the charm can only be exerted to 70% to 80% of its effect.
Of course, she had put so much thought into this, not just to scare Lady Yingguo and Fang Shiming! Putting down the pen, Gu Yanfei looked up at the rain outside the window, looking towards the direction of the palace.
Normally, she couldn't see the palace from where she was, but at that moment, her sight seemed to have passed through the limitations of space and landed on some distant point.
A few drops of rain occasionally splashed into the house, wetting the desk and Gu Yanfei's sleeves.
Gu Yanfei smiled nonchalantly.
The whole person is like the sun rising and dispersing clouds, emitting a faint glow, bright and beautiful, with a clear mind and a handsome figure.
She stared into the distance for a long time, and her pair of dark eyes as vast as the night sky seemed to be able to see through the myriad mysteries of this world.
Even if Gu Yanfei didn't calculate, he could see that this was a sign of a change in God's will.
Master said that God’s will is not eternal and unchanging.
Even if a person is abandoned by heaven, his life will only be more difficult than others. But once he breaks through a certain shackle, the constraints of heaven will be weakened.
Gu Yanfei stared at the rain curtain in a daze, and his master's words rang in his ears again:
"Yan Fei, you have been abandoned by the way of heaven. Although the path of cultivation is difficult, on this great road, you can change your fate by going against the will of heaven. If you follow the will of heaven, you will be an ordinary person, but if you go against the will of heaven, you will become an immortal."
The smile on Gu Yanfei's face deepened a little, adding a hint of sweetness.
Gu Yanfei's heart was slightly rippled, as if a person who had been traveling alone for many years suddenly found a companion who understood and appreciated him.
The rainstorm came quickly and went away quickly. In just a short while, the rain subsided, leaving only bean-sized raindrops dripping from the eaves.
The sound of raindrops coming one after another seemed like a piece of music played by God.
After the rainstorm, the air became fresh and even the passage of time seemed to slow down.
Gu Yanfei was watching the rain, while Juanbi was looking at Gu Yanfei. He felt that her skin was so delicate that water could almost be squeezed out of it, and her lips were like peach blossoms, which made people feel pity for her.
Juanbi's eyes were filled with amazement, and he sighed in his heart: My girl is getting more and more beautiful!
Thinking back to how pale and thin Gu Yanfei looked when the master and servant first met four months ago, Juanbi felt as if it was a dream, as if they were in two different lifetimes.
A few drops of cold rain were blown in by the wind and fell right on the back of Juanbi's hand.
Juanbi came back to her senses and remembered the important matter. She hurriedly reported, "Miss, the Third Madam just sent two rolls of Songjiang fine cloth and a basket of oranges. She said the oranges were just delivered from the farm and she wanted to give them to you to taste."
Gu Yanfei knew that Yan was doing this for Gu Yunzhen, so he smiled and said, "Put away the two rolls of cloth first, and share the basket of oranges with everyone."
Juan Bimei responded with a smile.
After putting those things in place, the master and servant went out.
The rain stopped, and the air after the rain was filled with thick water vapor. The ground outside was wet, and when the wind blew, the raindrops on the branches and leaves fell with the wind, as if another rain shower had started.
Juanbi carefully held an oil-paper umbrella for Gu Yanfei.
Gu Yanfei walked forward slowly and steadily, her posture elegant and dashing. As she walked, her snow-blue skirt was not stained with a single speck of mud.
Gu Yanfei is going to Cihetang now.
Because Gu Yanfei "obediently" handed over the jade pendant, Madam Gu was quite satisfied. She felt that Gu Yanfei had finally become obedient. In addition, she was in a good mood recently, so she treated Gu Yanfei better.
The day before yesterday, Madam Gu sent Gu Yanfei a piece of soft blue silk that looked like sky blue after rain as a gauze curtain; yesterday, Madam Gu rewarded Gu Yanfei with a plate of steamed duck in rice wine; and early this morning, she was called over for breakfast.
This is something that has never happened in my two lifetimes.
Of course she would go! Gu Yanfei and Juanbi walked into the gate of Cihe Hall leisurely.
A few scattered leaves were blown down from the treetops by the cold wind, floating towards Gu Yanfei.
Gu Yanfei flicked his sleeves and when he raised his hand, he happened to bump into a familiar face in front of him.
When the two looked at each other, Su Niang, who was walking in the corridor, had her pupils shrink. She wanted to hide behind the pillars guiltily, but she took half a step back and stopped again. She remembered what Madam Gu said when she comforted Gu Yunmeng in private: "Sister Meng, you don't have to worry too much about your second sister."
"Su Niang was wrong, but fourteen years ago, it was she who saved your second sister from the chaos of war. She survived a near-death experience, and only then could your second sister stand here safely today."
Su Niang held her head high and stroked her sleeves, looking at Gu Yanfei fearlessly.
Yes, the madam is right.
She is Gu Yanfei's savior, Gu Yanfei should be grateful to her! She doesn't need to panic at all! Su Niang said to herself over and over again.
