Chapter 84: Regret (One More)
Chapter 84 Regret (one more)
What? ! Chu You pulled the reins abruptly, the black horse under his crotch raised his front hooves high, and his mouth and nose snorted white air.
“Snapped!”
The next moment, he threw a whip on the horse’s **** heavily, and drove his horse towards the gate in a very wicked manner, as fast as a gust of wind.
When Chu You came to the gate, one of the gates of the palace had been demolished, and several soldiers of the Imperial Army were demolishing the other one.
There was too much movement here, and the streets outside the mansion attracted a lot of passersby who were watching the excitement, all pointing in the direction of the mansion.
“His Royal Highness King Kang!” The big **** who came to pass the decree politely bowed to Chu You, his eyes were indifferent, “Our family is here to pass the decree.”
Of course, what he came to pass was the imperial edict that King Kang was demoted from the prince to the king of the county.
The big **** took the bright yellow imperial decree from the tray, and regardless of whether Chu You knelt down or not, he read it directly to the imperial decree: “Fengtian carry the emperor, and the imperial edict said: King Kang Chuyou is young and vigorous…”
Chu You’s ears were buzzing, but he didn’t hear the next words at all. He just watched them completely tear down the red lacquer gate of the palace.
According to the regulations of the Dajing Dynasty, the gate of the Prince’s Mansion has nine rows and seven rows of nails, while the number of nails in the Prince’s Mansion is reduced to nine rows and five rows. Therefore, since King Kang has lowered his rank, the original gate of the mansion is naturally unusable. .
Not only that, but the pair of unicorn stone beasts in front of the door were also carried away.
The gate of King Kang’s mansion became empty, and at first glance, it seemed as if the house had been raided by an edict.
“I appreciate this.”
After reading the last two words, the **** closed the imperial decree and said indifferently: “My lord, the emperor said that those in the palace that exceed the specifications are just fine, no need to mobilize the public.”
The **** directly changed his name to “Wang Ye”, and King Kang was no longer a prince, so he was not qualified to be called “His Royal Highness”.
“Your Highness, thank you.” The **** said as he handed the imperial decree to Chu You with both hands.
Chu You gritted his teeth tightly, his expression gloomy.
He wanted to wave away this imperial decree, but he also knew that he would be accused of disobeying the decree and would become a proof of being attacked by others.
This is the end of the matter, please bear with it for a while.
“My brother, thank the emperor for his kindness.” Chu You said with a dark face, took the imperial decree with both hands, and a chill in his heart quickly spread and expanded in his body.
What if there is no movement in the palace, the world sees it as the lintel.
He was demoted.
I think he was named a prince by the late emperor when he was ten years old, but now he is gone.
Chu You’s dark eyes were full of humiliation, and his hands were clenched into fists.
Just watched helplessly as the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs removed the plaque on the gate with the words “Prince Kang’s Mansion” written on it, and replaced it with a new plaque with the words “Prince Kang’s Mansion” written on it.
The plaque of “Prince Kang’s Mansion” was inscribed by the late emperor himself, and it was the honor bestowed upon him by the late emperor.
But now, this glory has been taken away.
Chu You knelt down slowly, a little bit, a little bit… Finally, his knees hit the ground hard, making a “dong” sound.
He watched the plaque that meant so much to him gradually fade away, feeling that the imperial decree at hand was heavy.
For a moment, he felt a little regret in his heart…
It was only after this little regret came out that he was overwhelmed by another, stronger emotion.
He told himself in his heart that for his son, he had no regrets or regrets!
After issuing the imperial decree, the **** left in a mighty manner, and the people outside the palace who were watching the excitement also dispersed.
These people also spread the matter of King Kang’s demotion as a topic after dinner and dinner, and that day, everyone in the capital knew about it.
The news of also spread to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Mrs. Gu Tai shut herself in a small Buddhist hall, concentrated on chanting scriptures, and ate fast food and chanted Buddha.
The thought of means that he didn’t go out for a few days, and it also saved the younger generation from having to worry about the morning and evening.
After a few days of forbearance, Mrs. Gu Tai finally couldn’t bear it any longer, and ordered her confidant Li Ma to take a trip to Yuheng Garden.
“Second girl, Mrs. Tai invites you to visit Cihetang and talk about the third girl.”
When facing Gu Yanfei, Li Ma’s attitude was extremely respectful and polite, and her face was full of smiles.
“I won’t go.” Gu Yanfei’s faint voice came from behind a screen embroidered with red peony.
Li Mammy’s expression froze and her heart sank when she heard the words.
Across a hazy screen, Gu Yanfei could vaguely see that he was dressing piece by piece, accompanied by the subtle sound of rustling.
Mamma Li was mulling over her words when she heard Gu Yanfei say again: “Go back and tell Madam Tai, and ask her to ask Gu Yuncong if she can drink the Talisman Water.”
“…” Li Ma was taken aback again, not understanding what this meant.
Gu Yanfei, who was behind the screen, slowly tied his belt, and the corners of his lips tickled with a smile that was not a smile.
Based on her understanding of Gu Yuncong, Gu Yuncong would definitely not be able to drink this talisman.
Mr. Li said again cautiously: “I don’t know if the second lady has anything else to tell the old slave to Mrs. Tai?”
Gu Yanfei raised his hand and tied the long blue silk behind his head, and chuckled casually: “Tell Madam Tai and reassure her that this marriage will happen.”
“Volume Bi, see you off.”
When next to Juan Bi heard the last four words, he immediately took a step closer to Li Mama and reached out to make a petition.
“Then the old slave will return to his life.” Li Mammy smiled and saluted before leaving with Juan Bi.
The next moment, Gu Yanfei walked out from behind the screen in a casual manner, with a casual smile on the corner of his lips.
She changed into a black dark-patterned straight robe, embroidered with a few clumps of orchid leaves with silver silk thread, and embroidered a brocade belt around her waist, narrowing her waist.
The simple men’s clothes are especially good-looking by her, with red lips and white teeth, and a heroic appearance, which makes people’s eyes shine.
When Juan Bi finished delivering Li Ma, and when she came back, seeing Gu Yanfei’s first glance, she opened her mouth in amazement.
“What a handsome and handsome boy!” Juan Bi stroked her palms with shining eyes, walked around her, and looked up and down.
Gu Yanfei was amused by Kui Bi, and he casually smoothed the silk strands of his hair, and the silver strands fell to his chest.
The milk cat squatting on the window sill snorted disdainfully, and stared at the white dove that had already flown far away in the sky.
Gu Yanfei casually pinched a flying pigeon biography on his desk, put it in his sleeve pocket, and went out, leaving only one sentence: “You two are guarding the house.”
“You two” refers to Kuanbi and Qingguang.
“Meow!”
Leaving the milk cat’s displeased grumbling behind him, Gu Yanfei left the Hou residence with great interest, going to a place she had never been to in her previous life, the Tianyin Pavilion in the south of the city.
Tianyin Pavilion is a theater and one of the most famous theaters in the capital.
As long as the show starts every day, it will be full.
Gu Yanfei came early, and was greeted by a junior in Tianyin Pavilion, and went to an elegant seat on the second floor to sit first.
The seats upstairs and downstairs are already occupied by 70-80% of the guests, and there are all kinds of people.
In the theater, there is a lively and noisy atmosphere.
Guests in twos and threes sip tea and drink while gossiping.
“Brother, have you heard of it?” A young man wearing a cyan straight jacket pushed his elbow against the middle-aged man at the same table, winked and said, “What’s the name of today’s play… Anyway, there is a new actress. , I heard that she is a stunning beauty!”
“I know! This Yao family class was invited by Tianyin Pavilion from the south, and I just arrived in the capital these few days. The show they sang was amazing. Hehe, let me tell you, I’m here for this Huadan. .” The middle-aged man said, the more he spoke, the more excited he became.
“Yinge really cost a fortune that day.”
“That’s it! You can’t do it without spending money, haven’t you seen it? Recently, Yunli Garden has become more and more prosperous, chasing Tianyin Pavilion…”
“…”
The voice from downstairs came into Gu Yanfei’s ears intermittently, arousing her interest.
In the Yaoling world for two hundred years, she hasn’t seen a play yet.
She picked up the playbook and flipped through it quickly. Only then did she know that the play to be sung here today is called “Lotus Fan”. Swinging between the princess of the palace and the singer of the rivers and lakes, a lingering love story is deduced.
Gu Yanfei glanced at it ten lines at a time.
There were more and more guests in the theater, and when the seats were 90% full, a loud gong sounded from the direction of the theater.
Then, there was a melodious sound of silk and bamboo resounding throughout the theater, which was melodious and pleasant to the ears, representing the beginning of the play.
But the stage was still empty, and no one was to be seen.
Everyone was suspicious, and a voice as sweet as a clear spring suddenly sounded, cutting through the air leisurely.
The air in this building seemed to tremble slightly with the sound of this voice, and the surrounding atmosphere was completely different, as if suddenly from the noisy and bustling market to a quiet inner courtyard with a high gate
The beautiful singing voice is smooth and delicate, the timbre is pure, smooth and fluent, soft and tactful, and it contains extremely rich and subtle emotions, which makes people imagine the owner of the voice.
While everyone was looking forward to it, a graceful figure floated out from behind the screen and appeared on the stage. The bright red dress with embroidered butterflies and flowers shone in the candlelight on the stage.
Hua Dan gently and elegantly waved her long water sleeves, and at the same time, her head was slightly sideways, revealing half of her beautiful face.
Brows are dyed with ink, lips are dyed with vermilion, and powdered cheeks are as white as porcelain. The seductive phoenix eyes are slanted toward the temples, which outlines an indescribable charm.
The facial features are perfect, forming a peerless beauty.
He is like an epiphyllum under the moon, blooming layer by layer, the momentary youth is unstoppable, and the price is indescribable.
All the audience looked at the Hua Dan who played the princess in amazement, and forgot to breathe for a while.
Looking at the stunning beauty on the stage, Gu Yanfei was slightly startled, the wine glass in his hand also stopped in the air, and muttered to himself:
“So red…”
Gu Yanfei leaned forward slightly, resting his right elbow on the window sill, and resting his chin with his slightly curved fingers, carefully looking at the people on the stage.
His whole body was scarlet, or, it should be said, the aura on this person turned out to be a thick scarlet, as coquettish as the color of blood, as if he was born with blood, and as if he was in a scorching flame.
It is not like everyone else is lingering with a faint white light.
