Interesting, really interesting! Gu Yanfei looked more and more intently, his eyes sparkling like a curious and lazy cat, and he couldn't bear to take his eyes off this person.
In this small world, there are only people.
But in the Yaoling Realm, there are humans, monsters, spirit beasts, and demons...
The demon clan's aura is blood red, which is subtly different from this person's scarlet red.
And she was very sure that the beauty in front of her was a human, not a demon.
The actress who played the role of the princess looked into the distance, worried and missing her fiancé, the prince of the marquis's mansion.
Every glance and every word she sang was just right, making people feel pity for her and want to rush up to her and hold her in their arms.
As the sounds of stringed instruments became louder and louder, other actors with slicked-back hair and powdered faces came on stage one after another, singing slowly and leisurely in long tunes, their voices sounding like the chirping of orioles and swallows, and yet also sounding complaining and annoyed.
Gu Yanfei didn't care about the plot or other actors at all. He only paid attention to the Hua Dan.
"Sir, this way please."
Gu Yanfei turned a deaf ear to the enthusiastic voice of the waiter behind him. He was so focused that he didn't even notice that there was another person sitting in the private room.
It was not until a handsome young man in white sat down at her table that Gu Yanfei slowly withdrew his gaze from the actress and turned to Chu Yi. He raised his eyebrows and pushed the wine jug towards him with a smile.
Chu Yi was very tactful and admitted his mistake with a warm smile: "I'm late, I'll drink a glass as a punishment."
As Chu Yi spoke, he picked up the wine jug and filled his and Gu Yanfei's glasses with wine, then drank the wine in one gulp.
Whatever movement he makes is always neither hurried nor slow, like flowing clouds and running water, calm and elegant, with that noble bearing emanating from his bones.
The noise outside seemed to fade away at this moment.
Gu Yanfei supported his chin with his palm and began to stare at Chu Yi again, looking him up and down with a calm gaze.
Normally, the luck of mortals is the same as Gu Yunzhen's, showing a white "qi" that is either light or dark and changes with the fate.
This "normal situation" does not apply to Gu Yanfei or Chu Yi.
Chu Yi had nothing on him. He was a man abandoned by heaven, just like her.
Gu Yanfei looked at Chu Yi for a while and then felt bored. He turned his interested eyes to look at the stunningly beautiful actress on the stage.
On the stage, the stunningly beautiful woman was leaning on a beauty couch, singing while covering her face with her sleeves as if she was shedding tears. Only a pair of beautiful, seductive eyes were visible from behind her sleeves, looking very pitiful.
In the entire theater, all the guests who were watching the play were silent. They had forgotten to drink and eat. All their attention was drawn to the female lead, and their emotions were moved by her every smile, tear and sigh.
They were happy, surprised, worried, and distressed...all for the beauty on the stage. They wished they could bring their kingdom to the beauty to make her smile.
Gu Yanfei was looking at the beauty, while Chu Yi was looking at Gu Yanfei.
This was the first time he saw her wearing men's clothes.
The dark gown made her skin look white as snow, and her long black hair was casually tied at the back of her head with a headband. She looked extraordinary and free from the gracefulness that a woman should have, and her smile was relaxed.
If an ordinary woman dressed as a man, it would be easy for her to give off an overly feminine vibe in her gestures, but on her, there was no unnaturalness at all, she just looked extremely handsome, as if she was born that way.
After a small climax, the female lead gracefully left the stage, and her graceful figure was no longer seen. The male lead, who played the role of the prince of the marquis's mansion, also made a grand appearance, dressed as a knight, holding a sword, and looking very heroic.
Seeing the actress leave the stage, Gu Yanfei turned her head back in boredom, and the long headband and hair on her head fluttered in the air, and the headband happened to hook on the copper hook beside the curtain.
She pulled the hairband casually, but it was still tangled with the copper tent hook, so she simply took off the hairband.
Her long black hair suddenly cascaded down like a waterfall, casually draped over her chest and back.
Gu Yanfei untied the hairband from the hook of the copper tent and was about to tie her hair again when she heard Chu Yi suddenly say, "Don't move."
"I'll do it." Chu Yi said as he stood up and walked towards Gu Yanfei.
Gu Yanfei: “…”
Gu Yanfei is usually not so obedient, but now, her attention is attracted by the jade hairpin in Chu Yi's hand.
It was a white jade hairpin, except for one end which was bright red like blood. The craftsman skillfully carved it into two plum blossoms, one half-open, the other in full bloom, with each petal clearly layered.
Gu Yanfei's eyes lit up, and she sat there obediently without moving, allowing Chu Yi to tie her hair himself.
He was very skilled in tying hair. His slender fingers were nimble and agile. In just a few strokes, he had tied Gu Yanfei's thick black hair into a bun, and only used the jade hairpin to fix the hair in place.
Gu Yanfei touched her hair and praised sincerely: "You are amazing!"
She couldn't use a jade hairpin to tie her hair up so beautifully.
Two slender jade fingers moved from the bun to the jade hairpin, lingering there.
She was so overjoyed that she repeatedly touched the jade hairpin, feeling the shape of the plum blossom with her fingertips, her smile as beautiful as a flower, filled with joy and happiness.
Ever since he got the phoenix-patterned jade pendant, Gu Yanfei realized something.
Although the spiritual energy in this small world is thin now, almost non-existent, it must have existed here thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago. That is why it was able to produce spiritual jade stones, which were then carved into jade pendants by craftsmen.
It is conceivable that the phoenix-patterned jade pendant would not be the only spiritual object in this small world.
Gu Yanfei originally wanted to look for it slowly, but she didn't expect Chu Yi to give her such a surprise today.
"Is this for me?" she asked with some concern.
Chu Yi smiled softly: "This is a return gift."
Gu Yanfei was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered the red plum blossom she gave to Chu Yi last time, and curled the corners of her lips.
She has always had bad luck, but the interesting thing is that when she meets Chu Yi, her luck becomes very good.
It was like this in the last life, and it is still like this in this life.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanfei's smile became brighter, and she showed her joy without hesitation: "I like it very much!"
Of course she liked it, and she liked it very much! This jade hairpin is a good thing. Although the spiritual energy in the jade hairpin cannot be absorbed and is not as good as the phoenix-patterned jade pendant, as long as you wear this hairpin all year round, you can warm up your spiritual consciousness.
Gu Yanfei didn't expect that spiritual objects like the phoenix-patterned jade pendant would be common, otherwise, this small world wouldn't be so lacking in spiritual energy as it is now.
"As long as you like it." Chu Yi raised his hand and gently helped her adjust the jade hairpin with plum blossom pattern. There was an unspeakable nostalgia in his gentle smile.
Gu Yanfei happily poured wine for Chu Yi.
Chu Yi sat back down, and his eyes suddenly looked through the window of the private room toward the lobby on the first floor. Then he made a gesture, indicating Gu Yanfei to look down.
Gu Yanfei put down the wine jug and looked in the direction he was looking.
A tall and handsome young man walked into the lobby on the first floor. He was wearing a royal blue brocade robe with auspicious cloud patterns and a black brocade belt inlaid with black jade around his waist. He was tall and mighty, with a sharpness that was unique to warriors.
"This is Murong Yong." Chu Yi said.
Gu Yanfei looked Murong Yong up and down.
Ever since he went to Jiahuiyuan to add makeup to Gu Yunzhen a few days ago and found that her luck had been plundered by Gu Yunzhen, Gu Yanfei has been feeling a little bothered.
Later, Gu Yanfei specifically asked Juanbi to find out and found out that Gu Yunzhen's luck had indeed been bad since he was a child. It was not just the things that the Third Madam had said, there were countless other examples.
Just this year, in February, when Gu Yunzhen and Gu Yunyan and several other sisters went to visit the home of the Marquis’s wife Wang’s sister, she accidentally got hit on the head by a polo ball; in June, she was boating in the small lake of the Marquis’s mansion, and the bottom of the boat suddenly leaked. She couldn’t swim, so she almost drowned...
In August...
Gu Yanfei kept thinking about things in his previous life from this life.
In her previous life, Gu Yunmeng’s disfigurement and the misery she endured for the rest of her life were probably due to bad luck.
Gu Yanfei had no idea for a moment. Thinking that Gu Yunzhen's wedding was approaching, he asked Chu Yi to find out about Gu Yunzhen's fiancé Murong Yong.
This morning she received a pigeon message from Chu Yi, asking her to come to Tianyin Pavilion.
Gu Yanfei stared deeply at Murong Yong's face.
The young man's face has sharp lines, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a hooked nose, and thin lips, forming a handsome and masculine face.
Gu Yanfei's eyes moved over his hooked nose and he frowned slightly.
The nose is like an eagle's beak, pecking at the marrow of people's hearts.
Chu Yi whispered, "Murong Yong is serving in the Three Thousand Battalion. He was originally a sixth-rank Cloud Cavalry Captain. Last month, he made great contributions in suppressing bandits in Qingzhou, so he was transferred to the Shenji Battalion and promoted to a fifth-rank Xiaoqi Captain."
Murong Yong was only a fifth-rank military general, not a big shot in the court. He was not even qualified to attend the morning court. If Gu Yanfei had not asked, Chu Yi would not have bothered to pay attention to him.
He slowly turned the wine glass with his slender fingers, took a sip of the wine, and then continued: "Since the Yao family came to the capital, he has come to Tianyin Pavilion almost every day to show his support for the famous actor."
Chu Yi spoke slowly, his expression and tone were very calm, as if he was not surprised, nor did he seem to care.
After Murong Yong entered the hall below, he first looked at the stage with burning eyes. Seeing that there was only a young actor and another old actor on the stage, he withdrew his gaze with boredom.
The waiter from Tianyin Pavilion walked in front and led Murong Yong towards the stairs respectfully. His words were warm and familiar, and it was obvious that he often entertained Murong Yong.
"Who are you supporting?" Gu Yanfei couldn't help but ask.
She thought of the stunningly beautiful actress just now.
