LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 43
Chapter 43: Darling
Chapter 43 Beloved
Gu Yanfei looked up at the blue sky, with a face as bright and beautiful as suet fat and white jade, without fear or anger.
Gu Yunchang was afraid that he thought that the way of heaven was unfair to him, so he kept saying “heaven and earth are not benevolent” to the queen mother.
But, Gu Yuncong was wrong.
Heaven and Earth treat all things equally.
Even if it is a child of luck in a small world, the favor of the Tao of Heaven will not be limitless.
Chu You’s heart was cut like a knife, and he put all the blame on Gu Yanfei, and could not wait for her to splatter on the spot.
He grabbed Gu Yuncong’s hand, held it tightly, and expressed his heart to the Queen Mother Yuan loudly: “Empress mother, my son will not marry unless he is a son!”
“Don’t listen to slanderous words and be provoked by others!”
He pulled Gu Yunchang away, his eyes firm as a rock.
“…” Gu Yunchang shook off Chu You’s hand without saying a word, her lips pursed tightly, and bitterness spread in her mouth.
Once, she thought that her background and status were not important. As long as King Kang treated her with sincerity, it was enough for her to return his sincerity to him.
Until this moment, 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 queen mother!
One word from the Queen Mother can influence her marriage…even her destiny.
The way of heaven is unfair!
Gu Yunchang bowed respectfully and gracefully to the Queen Mother Yuan, and then left without looking back in the eyes of everyone.
“嫆er!”
Chu You knew that she was annoyed, and quickly chased after her.
The whole room was silent, the atmosphere was stiff, everyone looked at each other, and all kept their mouths shut, for fear of being angered by the Queen Mother.
“…” Empress Dowager Yuan was so angry that she squeezed the cuff with her right hand.
She is a daughter of a noble family, and she is very polite and well-mannered. Even if she is extremely angry, there is no gaffe on her face, but her figure is slightly stiff.
“The Empress Dowager,” At this time, Li Zhulang got close to the Empress Dowager Yuan and took the initiative to speak up with a smile, “Did you place a bet on the game just now?”
Li Zhulang’s grandmother was the cousin of the Queen Mother, and he was sweet-mouthed from a young age, and was very fond of the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Yuan adjusted her emotions in a very short time, and said lightly: “Zhulang, you guys have a bet?”
Seeing that Empress Dowager Yuan did not take anger on Li Zhulang, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere eased a little.
Li Zhulang nodded with a smiley face and said, “It’s rare for a minister to be a bookmaker once.”
“We had a draw, which means that everyone lost, but you, the banker, won.” Changqing County Master said with a half-smile.
“The county owner is wrong!” Li Zhulang shook his index finger, “Someone bet on a draw.”
While speaking, the young man in Chinese clothing brought over a box full of bets and sent it to Gu Yanfei with a smile.
Even if he didn’t name him, everyone guessed that the one who bet on a draw was Gu Yanfei.
The surroundings were silent for a while, and then there was another uproar.
For a while, Gu Yanfei once again became the focus of everyone’s attention.
Changqing blinked and asked in astonishment, “Second Miss Gu bet on a draw?”
“Yeah, yeah.” The little boy nodded again and again, but he still doesn’t feel real.
The chance of a draw is less than 10%, but the beauty is actually betting, this is too good luck!
If it wasn’t for his cousin’s inability to persuade the Changqing County Master to play match-fixing, he would almost suspect that his cousin had the intention to send money to the beauty.
Li Zhulang handed the box of bets to Gu Yanfei, his eyes lingering on her delicate and beautiful little face, and his heart beat faster.
That’s great, so the beauty doesn’t have a marriage contract, so he still has a chance!
He is not afraid of competitors, he is afraid of Luo Fu!
Li Zhulang’s eyes lit up, and he asked without words: “Second Lady Gu, how did you guess?”
A few brothers next to him shook their folding fans disapprovingly, thinking that Li Zhulang was so eloquent that he couldn’t even speak when he met a beauty. There is so much to ask about, such a stunning beauty, she is doing the right thing!
Gu Yanfei shook his finger and said with a casual smile, “I figured it out.”
Li Zhulang didn’t take it seriously, he caressed his palm happily, and exclaimed following her words: “So the girl can tell fortunes!”
He took the initiative to send his left palm to Gu Yanfei’s side, palm facing up, and said, “Miss, take a look 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 hold grudges the most.” The little boy laughed happily, taking Gu Yanfei as a joke.
Li Zhulang didn’t take it seriously, and tried his best to talk to Gu Yanfei: “Is it a crow?”
A group of young masters who had a good relationship with Li Zhulang also gathered around him, and said to me one by one:
“Brother Li, I think you should just stay out of the house these days. Crows, like monkeys, are the best at forming gangs.”
“The crow also likes to peck at the hair. If you are bald by it, it will be ugly.”
“…”
Everyone knew that Li Zhulang was a good-natured person, and laughed at him.
The atmosphere became lively again with their chatter and laughter.
Empress Dowager Yuan looked cold and sat down for another half a cup of tea before getting up on the pretext of being “tired”.
Princess Jing and the Princess of Changqing also got up and left with Empress Dowager Yuan.
Everyone stood in the same place and saluted, sending off the Queen Mother.
After , the surroundings fell into an embarrassing silence, only the sound of sparrows brushing the branches was heard.
The episode just now came out, everyone was a little absent-minded, and looked at Gu Yanfei from time to time, after all, the other three protagonists had already left.
The atmosphere will never return to the lively before.
In particular, many noble ladies were originally targeting the Queen Mother, but now they feel like they have been poured a bucket of cold water, and they are not interested.
Anyway, the polo match was over, and the ladies one after another asked to retire. After a while, half of the people left.
Gu Yanfei, along with Gu Yunzhen, said goodbye to Changqing County Master. When the sisters arrived at the Neiyi Gate, the carriages of other houses were all gone.
The two horse-drawn carriages of Hou’s mansion parked there alone.
Gu Yunzhen originally thought that Gu Yunzheng had already left, but since Gu Yunzheng’s carriage was here, it meant that she had not left yet.
Gu Yunzhen tightened his handkerchief, frowned worriedly, and asked the rough envoy accompanying the Houfu: “Have you seen the three girls?”
The rough woman shook her head.
Gu Yunzhen looked left and right, but still didn’t see Gu Yunchang, she said softly, “Second sister, you get on the carriage first, I’ll wait here.”
She summoned the maid of the palace again and asked about Gu Yuncong’s whereabouts.
Gu Yanfei took Jue Bi out of the Neiyi Gate and came to the second carriage.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted halfway, Gu Yanfei supported the hand of Ju Bi to get on the carriage, and as soon as her face reached into the carriage, she met two figures, one big and one small.
In addition to the three-flowered cat Qingguang, there was also a tall and slender figure sitting in the carriage, with waterfall-like black hair half bundled and half draped, white clothes like snow, and a zhilan jade tree.
The man sits on the left, the cat crouches on the right.
One person and one cat faced each other three feet apart, with big eyes and small eyes, all of which were silent.
