043 Beloved

Gu Yanfei looked up at the blue sky, his face as bright and beautiful as white jade, without any surprise or anger, and said to himself: He is worthy of being the darling of the way of heaven.

Gu Yunhao was afraid that the way of heaven was unfair to him, so he kept saying to the Empress Dowager that "the heaven and earth are unkind."

However, Gu Yunhao was wrong.

Heaven and earth treat everything equally.

Even if he is the son of luck in the small world, the favor of the Heavenly Dao will not be excessive.

Chu You's heart was cut like a knife, and he calculated the account to Gu Yanfei, hoping that she would let her blood splatter on the spot.

He grabbed Gu Yun'an's hand, held it tightly, and expressed his feelings to Empress Dowager Yuan: "Mother, my son will not marry me if he is not a son!"

"Don't listen to slander and be provoked by others!"

He pulled Gu Yun'an and was about to leave, his eyes as firm as a rock.

"..." Gu Yun'an shook Chu You's hand without saying a word, pursed her cherry lips tightly, and a bitterness spread in her sip.

Once, she thought that her origin and status were not important. As long as King Kang treated her sincerely, she would also repay him with sincerity.

It was not until this moment that she felt the supremacy of imperial power and filial piety in this era.

Even Chu You, as a dignified prince, could not fight against the empress dowager!

The Queen Mother's words can influence her marriage... and even her destiny.

The way of heaven is unfair!

Gu Yunhao respectfully bowed to Empress Dowager Yuan, and then left without looking back in everyone's sighing eyes.

"Oh!"

Chu You knew she was annoyed and hurriedly chased after her.

The whole hall was silent and the atmosphere was stiff. Everyone looked at each other and shut their mouths, fearing that the empress dowager would take her anger.

"..." Empress Dowager Yuan was so angry that she squeezed her cuffs with her right hand.

She is a daughter of a noble family, and she values ​​etiquette and has good cultivation. Even if she is extremely angry, she does not lose her composure on her face, but her figure is a little stiff.

"Empress Dowager," at this time, Li Zhulang came to Empress Dowager Yuan, smiled and took the initiative to activate the atmosphere, "Have you bet on the bet just now?"

Li Zhulang's grandmother was Empress Dowager Yuan's cousin. He has been sweet since childhood and is quite loved by the Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager Yuan adjusted her emotions in a very short time and said lightly: "Zhulang, have you started a bet?"

Seeing that Empress Dowager Yuan did not take his anger on Li Zhulang, the others were relieved and the atmosphere eased a little.

Li Zhulang nodded with a smile, probably: "It's rare for me to be a dealer."

"We have a draw, which means everyone loses, but you, the dealer, won the only one." Princess Changqing said with a smile.

"The princess is wrong!" Li Zhulang shook his index finger, "Someone bets the draw."

While speaking, the young boy in the gorgeous clothes brought over a box of bets and sent them to Gu Yanfei with a smile.

Even though he didn't name it, everyone guessed that the person who bet on the draw was Gu Yanfei.

The surroundings were quiet, and then, there was an uproar again.

For a time, Gu Yanfei once again became the focus of everyone's attention.

Changqing blinked and asked in surprise: "Miss Gu Er bet a draw?"

"Yes, yes." The young man nodded repeatedly, still feeling no reality.

The chance of a draw is less than 10%, but the beauty actually beat the bet. This luck is too good!

If his cousin hadn't had the ability to convince Princess Changqing and others to play counterfeit football, he would have almost suspected that his cousin was willing to give money to the beauty.

Li Zhulang handed the box of bets to Gu Yanfei, his burning eyes lingering on her delicate and beautiful little face, and his heartbeat was pounding faster.

That's great. It turns out that the beauty has no engagement, so he still has a chance!

He is not afraid of competitors, he is afraid that Luo Fu has a husband!

Li Zhulang's eyes shone brightly and asked without saying a word: "Miss Gu Er, how did you guess?"

The young men next to him shook the folding fan disapprovingly, thinking that Li Zhulang, a guy who claimed to be excellent in eloquence and could not even say anything when he met a beauty. What are the many questions about this? Such a beautiful woman is right to do whatever she does!

Gu Yanfei shook his finger and smiled casually, "I calculated it."

Li Zhulang did not take it seriously, and happily stroking his palms, exclaiming along her words: "So the girl can tell fortunes!"

He took the initiative to send his left palm to Gu Yanfei, with his palm facing up, and said, "Girl, let's see for me."

Gu Yanfei glanced at him casually, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Young Master Li, be careful of birds today."

"Cousin, didn't you overturn a crow's nest the day before yesterday? I heard that crows are the most revenge." The young man laughed gloatingly, just thinking that Gu Yanfei was joking.

Li Zhulang didn't take it seriously, and tried hard to talk to Gu Yanfei: "Is it a crow?"

A group of young men who were friends with Li Zhulang also gathered around with fun, saying one by one:

"Brother Li, I think you'll just stop going out these days. Crows are the best at forming gangs like monkeys."

"Crows also like to peck at the hair. If you get bald by it, that's so ugly."

“…”

Everyone knew that Li Zhulang was a good-natured person, so they joked about him with laughter.

The atmosphere became warmer with their laughter.

Empress Dowager Yuan was cold-eyed and sat down for half a cup of tea before getting up on the pretext of being "deprived".

Princess Jing and Princess Changqing also stood up and left surrounded by Queen Mother Yuan.

Everyone stood there and saluted in unison, paying respect to the Queen Mother.

Afterwards, there was a sense of embarrassing silence around him, and only the sound of sparrows brushing across the branches was heard.

After the episode just now, everyone was a little absent-minded, and glanced at Gu Yanfei from time to time. After all, the other three protagonists had already left.

The atmosphere can no longer return to the previous lively.

Especially many noble girls were originally looking for the last generation, but now they feel like they have been poured with a bucket of cold water, and they are indifferent.

Anyway, the polo match was over, and the noble girls successively offered to take a leave, and within a short while, half of them left.

Gu Yanfei said goodbye to Princess Changqing with Gu Yunzhen. When the sisters arrived at the Neiyi Gate, the carriages from other mansions were gone.

Two carriages from the Hou Mansion were parked there alone.

Gu Yunzhen originally thought that Gu Yunhao had left, but since Gu Yunhao's carriage was here, it means that she hadn't left yet.

Gu Yunzhen tightened the handkerchief, frowned with some concern, and asked the rough envoy who was accompanying the marquis's mansion, "Have you seen the third girl?"

The old lady shook her head.

Gu Yunzhen looked around and still didn't see Gu Yun'er, and said softly: "Second sister, you get on the carriage first, I'll wait here."

She called the maid from the royal palace and asked about Gu Yun'an's whereabouts.

Gu Yanfei took Juan Bi out of the inner art gate and came to the second carriage.

The curtain of the car was lifted up halfway, and Gu Yanfei held Juan Bi's hand into the carriage. As soon as her face reached into the carriage, she met two figures, one big and one small.

In addition to the three cats, there was also a tall and slender figure sitting in the carriage, with a waterfall-like black hair half-woven half-dressed, white clothes as snow as snow, and a jade orchid.

The man sits on the left and the cat squats on the right.

Each person and a cat faced each other three feet across, staring at each other with big eyes, all silent.
