The Pei family.
Is the news reliable?
"Returning home, my lord, the news is absolutely true." The subordinate slowly spoke, "Almost all of our people in Da Yu have been discovered, so obtaining information is very difficult, but I can guarantee that this news is accurate and reliable."
"This Gu Qingfeng is quite ruthless to himself."
Pei Jian was speechless after hearing this. Taking poison would mean certain death if one was not careful, and everything would be lost.
“Gu Qingfeng was already in a difficult situation. If he hadn’t fought desperately, how could he have forced Emperor Yu to release him from Qingcheng?” The subordinate clasped his hands in a fist salute. “Master, but Gu Qingfeng is still not awake.”
“As long as he has a breath left, I can save him.”
Pei Jian smiled smugly. In the past, he would have noticed the many coincidences, but now that the other families were following his lead, he enjoyed the feeling immensely.
So this is what it feels like to be the head of a powerful family.
"Patriarch, what are the arrangements for what comes next?"
Pei Jian pondered for a moment after hearing this, "It just so happens that it's almost the end of the year. I'll write to a few other families and tell them that I plan to personally take Azhi to Dayu in the near future to deliver New Year's gifts. If they also have gifts they want to send, we can help them bring them along."
"Master, wouldn't this be too much of a burden for you? Your subordinate is willing to take the order to escort the festival gifts."
"No, when facing Da Yu, the lower the posture, the better."
Pei Jian smiled and waved his hand. Going to Dayu would give him a chance to meet with Gu Qingfeng. Over the years, he had always gained a lot from his trips to Dayu.
"I will arrange it immediately."
Inside the room, Pei Jian let out a very soft laugh. Da Yu...
Come to think of it, he still has the blood of the Jiang family in his veins. If it weren't for the Jiang family's blood back then...
Pei Jian slowly got up and turned a mechanism in the study. Slowly, the Buddha statue enshrined in the room moved, and a small compartment was carved out of the wall behind the statue, with a sandalwood box inside.
After the box was opened, an extremely terrifying-looking insect appeared in Pei Jian's sight, but Pei Jian revealed a fanatical look.
I stuck the needle into my fingertip, and drops of blood flowed into the box. The insects immediately began to wriggle, and the blood that had dripped in was quickly devoured by the insects.
"Jiang family blood can heal wounds quickly, so don't waste this excellent blood."
After saying that, Pei Jian revealed a chilling expression.
......
On the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the capital city experienced its first snowfall.
"It's snowing, Your Majesty! It's snowing outside!"
Granny Ling practically ran into the room, her breath coming out cold air as she spoke.
"It's really snowing?" Jiang Yu, who had been feeling lazy, immediately perked up upon hearing Ling Mama's words. She quickly got up and walked outside. Large snowflakes were falling, and the ground was already faintly white.
"It really snowed."
Jiang Yu reached out to catch the falling snowflakes, but pulled her hand back after feeling the chill. She called out towards the study, "Gu Lin, it's snowing!"
Gu Lin also left the study almost immediately, reaching out to brush the snowflakes from Jiang Yu's hair, "Shall we go admire the plum blossoms?"
Jiang Yu nodded vigorously, "Bring Ayan along too."
"good."
And so, Gu Qingyan, who was still engrossed in reviewing memorials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, was brought out by Gu Lin. Just as he was feeling completely bewildered, he saw snowflakes in the sky. "Father, it's snowing?"
"Shall we go to the outskirts of Beijing to admire the plum blossoms?"
"go!"
The fact that the three most distinguished people in the entire Dayu Kingdom sneaked out of the palace without even a guard was an outrageous event in any dynasty or country.
Chang Qing panicked almost immediately upon hearing the news.
"My lord, this..."
"Don't worry about them. With the Emperor Emeritus here, nothing will go wrong." Jiang He waved his hand, but his feet were already heading out of the military camp.
Upon seeing this, Chang Qing quickly asked, "My lord, where are you going?"
"Let's take Yaoyao to enjoy the snow."
Chang Qing: ? ? ?
In a small pavilion on the outskirts of Beijing, the whole family, wrapped in cloaks, kept their eyes glued to the nearby plum grove. "It's so beautiful, Mother."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lin glanced sideways at Gu Qingyan. This kid, he personally created this plum grove so that he could enjoy the plum blossoms with Ayu at this moment.
"Ayu, come with me."
Gu Lin took Jiang Yu's hand and walked to the plum blossoms, where the unique, refreshing fragrance of plum blossoms became even stronger.
"Ayu, your hair has turned white."
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she realized, "In the snow, hair will naturally turn white. We both have white hair now."
"I had hoped to grow old with you." Under the plum blossom tree, Gu Lin's eyes were filled with unyielding affection. "But my hair turned white so early."
"So I'll stay with you, until our hair turns gray, that's a kind of growing old together."
The reason why Gu Lin's hair turned white overnight still ache in her heart whenever she thinks about it.
Jiang Yu hugged Gu Lin tightly, "Of course, I've already seen what you'll look like with white hair, you have to wait until I look like with white hair too."
"Then we need to agree on this first: every year when it snows, we must come here and grow old together."
"good."
The couple embraced tightly, but Gu Qingyan's lips twitched incessantly in the pavilion. So, the reason for bringing him out was just to bring one more person?
The two of them went off to admire the flowers on their own, seemingly forgetting that they had a son.
"How can you appreciate flowers if you stay in the pavilion the whole time?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Gu Qingyan quickly turned around and looked over. "Uncle, what brings you here?"
"I guessed that His Majesty would be admiring the flowers alone, so I came to keep him company."
A small figure was hanging around Jiang He's neck. Jiang Yao stretched out her little hand to Gu Qingyan, "Cousin, Yao Yao is here to keep you company too."
Seeing Gu Qingyan's sullen expression, Jiang He's lips curled up slightly. Then she tossed the little guy to Gu Qingyan and said, "I see that the snow is heavy today. How about we build a snowman?"
"Build a snowman?"
The term "building a snowman" was somewhat unfamiliar to Gu Qingyan. Jiang He shouted loudly towards Gu Lin and Jiang Yu, "Your Majesty the Emperor Emeritus, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, come and build a snowman together!"
After a stick of incense had burned, the group began to frown. How were they going to build this snowman?
"Just start doing it, you'll get the hang of it once you get started."
Because of her pregnancy, Jiang Yu was strongly urged to sit in the pavilion and "watch the battle." Seeing the others looking helpless, Jiang Yu couldn't stop laughing. "Gu Lin, brother, I remember you two are good at piling things up. Stop teasing A Yan."
As soon as Jiang Yu finished speaking, Gu Lin and Jiang He suddenly started fighting as if a switch had been flipped.
