Chapter 59: Jade Pendant
Chapter 59 Jade Pendant
“Meaning!” The colorful parrot next to it jumped and screamed strangely.
The emperor stretched his fingers and scratched the parrot’s chin lightly twice, the clouds were light and the wind was light.
Chu You’s body tensed even more, and a ferocious blue vein burst out between his neck.
Emperor has adopted a series of benevolent policies since he ascended the throne at the beginning of the year. The emperor’s attitude is to say it is kind and generous, and to say it badly is to be indecisive and soft-hearted.
Who knew that this time it was not as he intended!
Chu You’s heart held a sigh of relief, anxiety, worry, and uneasiness were intertwined in his chest, like a huge spider web catching him.
He was not afraid of the emperor, let alone the British government. He was afraid that Gu Yunchang would feel that she had implicated him, and for his sake, he would not hesitate to aggrieve her for this marriage.
Chu Yi took a slow sip of the hot tea, and then said again: “Uncle Seventh Emperor really cares about the three girls in Dingyuan Hou’s Mansion. However, this is something that comes with willingness, what does Uncle Huang think?”
Chu Yi’s mouth curled into a faint smile.
“…” Chu You’s eyes turned gloomy and cold again, and shot at Chu Yi as coldly as a knife.
Of course he understood what Chu Yi meant.
“Cough cough…” Chu Yi turned his eyes away, lowered his eyes, covered the corners of his mouth with a plain white handkerchief and coughed lightly, his trembling shoulders couldn’t hide his tired state.
He coughed for a while, then calmed down, raised his head to hold the tea cup, took a few sips, his cheeks flushed slightly.
Chu You narrowed his eyes and stared at Chu Yi coldly for a long time…
In the Dongnuan Pavilion, there was silence for a while, only the parrot occasionally flapped its wings on the bird stand, making a rustling sound.
After a long time, Chu You, who had been standing still for a long time, moved, and bowed to the emperor dryly: “Brother Huang, my younger brother will retire first.”
He didn’t wait for the emperor to respond, he flicked his sleeves, and strode away, his back tall and straight as loose.
Without waiting for the little maid to open the curtain for him, Chu You rudely picked the curtain himself.
The door curtain was lifted high by him, and then fell heavily, swaying violently in mid-air.
Along the way, several small servants and palace maids saluted him one after another, but Chu You completely ignored it and walked out of Dongnuan Pavilion in three steps.
He saw a familiar figure entering his eyes.
It was a thirty-seven or eight-year-old man, dressed in a Taishi blue dark-patterned straight robe, with a rhinoceros horn belt tied around his waist, with a small bloodstone seal and a sky-blue purse.
“See His Royal Highness King Kang.”
The man stopped five steps away and respectfully saluted Chu You with his fists.
The other party’s words and deeds made it impossible to pick out the slightest mistake, but Chu You’s face was darkened a little to the naked eye.
Of course he recognized this person, the other party was Fang Mingfeng’s father, the current British Duke.
Obviously, the British prince came to the palace at this time, and he must have come to propose a marriage for Fang Mingfeng and the emperor.
Chu You just glanced at Mr. Yingying, then walked away heavily without saying a word.
Passing through a courtyard, Chu You stopped and couldn’t help but turn his head, just in time to see Duke Ying walk into Dongnuan Pavilion greeted by the little maid.
The door was empty, and only a stubborn leaf was blown over by the wind and fell down.
Chu You’s heart sank little by little with this lonely leaf.
Judging from the attitude of the emperor just now, with Empress Dowager Chrysostom first, maybe the emperor would really agree with this delusion of the British government.
Chu You clenched his teeth so hard that he almost broke one of his teeth. He remembered Chu Yi’s words just now: “…This is something that comes with giving up, what does Uncle Huang think?”
Even if Chu Yi did not explain it just now, the implication was very clear: today he can do what he wants, but if he wants the emperor to stand up for him, what can he repay the emperor? !
If he wants to marry his son-in-law, he must have something he can offer in exchange.
So, what can he come up with? !
Thinking, Chu You’s eyes became more and more gloomy, and there seemed to be a violent beast roaring in his heart, frantic.
The cold wind was howling and the weather was gloomy and cold. Chu You was very worried and walked faster and faster.
He wants to see his son-in-law soon!
When he came to the gate of the palace, he saw Chang Sui holding his horse from a distance and looking around with his neck outstretched.
“Your Highness,” Chang Sui hurriedly stepped forward to meet him, and hurriedly replied, “The villain just heard that the British princess went to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.”
Chu You’s eyes suddenly widened, two flames were ignited in his pupils, his heart was soaring, and there was only one thought left in his heart: the British prince came to see the royal brother, and the British lady went to Gu’s house at this time…
Could it be that he committed the crime to persecute his son? !
The British lady is indeed going to the Dingyuan Hou Mansion at this moment.
In the past few days, Gu Jian and his wife have sent a message to the British government, but the stone sinks into the sea, and the Fang family has not responded.
The longer Mrs. Gu Tai waited, the more anxious she became, and she ordered her cronies to go to the British public mansion in person, and then she invited the British duchess over.
Naturally, this matter could not be concealed from Gu Yanfei’s ears. At this time, the British lady-in-law would come, presumably because Mrs. Tai made some kind of promise.
Mrs. Tai will not easily give up the “grandson-in-law” of King Kang. In all likelihood, she has put forward some other conditions for the British government to die.
So, she ordered Qingguang to go to Cihetang again.
Qingguang was not the first time he had sneaked into Cihetang. He was familiar with the way, and walked back and forth without disturbing anyone.
After only one incense stick, the cat came back with a pair of shiny cat eyes and a full belly of words.
The milk cat jumped from the window to the desk with a ‘swoosh”, and said “meow” to Gu Yanfei incessantly. There was an obvious show of pride and merit in her expression, and her proud little face wrote nakedly, “Without me, What can you do?” this sentence.
“Meow meow……”
“Meow meow meow……”
It kept saying dry mouth, but seeing that Gu Yanfei was not grateful to it for this, it was slow to realize that Gu Yanfei could not understand.
The cat froze for a moment, and the fluff all over his body wilted visibly.
Gu Yanfei opened a box next to it, and a fragrant smell of crispy dried fish immediately wafted out.
The shriveled cat’s eyes were round and blue, and the eyes were bright and full of desire for dried fish.
It regained its vigour, grabbed Gu Yanfei’s sleeve and tried to pull her towards the dressing table.
The cat jumped on the dressing table in twos and threes, swiped at the jewelry box with its claws, and finally hooked a jade pendant with its curved claws, and scratched it excitedly.
Qingguang: “Meow meow…”
Gu Yanfei took the jasper pendant from the cat’s paw in confusion.
This is an ordinary round jade pendant with a circle of moiré engraved on the edge and a butterfly pattern in the center.
Not only Gu Yanfei has this jade pendant, but all the girls in the Gu family have them, but the patterns are slightly different, some are dragonflies, some are swallows, some are skylarks…
Gu Yanfei shook his index finger gently, and the jasper pendant hanging on the index finger also swayed back and forth.
Qingguang immediately attracted his attention, and the pair of green cat eyes moved back and forth with the jade pendant, and his mouth made a sound of “mic hum, hum.”
Gu Yanfei certainly wouldn’t think that the British lady wanted this jade pendant.
That should be a piece of jade pendant that is so “precious” that the British duchess would do anything to get it.
Reminiscent of the previous life, the British mansion obviously did not like her, but once recognized the marriage; reminiscent of a few days ago, the British lady brought her son to the door for this marriage… Gu Yanfei instantly understood something, could it be for the jade pendant, the British Will the government let his son condescend to marry such a substitute? !
Or, for the other party’s family, it doesn’t matter whether it is Gu Yuncong or Gu Yanfei who has a marriage contract with Fang Mingfeng, what matters is the jade pendant.
