The Rumored Second Son

Chapter 92 – Night

In the afternoon, when the sandalwood was blooming, Mei Yingjie set out the tea set and warmed the tea for the two of them. She watched Mei Yingjie sit in front of her desk, fiddling with small cups with her slender fingers. After a long time, he poured two cups of tea for Guan Yunyu and Gao Yingmin. Guan Yunyu raised his head and drank it. The tea was not enough to quench his thirst.

Seeing Guan Yunyu drinking tea like this, Gao Yingmin couldn’t help laughing, and Mei Yingjie who was beside him also laughed along with him.

“What’s wrong?” Guan Yunyu held the small teacup and looked at them with wide-eyed phoenix eyes.

“Guan Shilang is really a rare free and easy person in Chang’an City.” Mei Yingjie praised with a smile.

“Eh?” Guan Yunyu pursed his lips, not feeling like he was praising her, so he handed the cup to Mei Yingjie and said something.

“Continued Cup.”

“Guan Shilang, wait a moment.” Mei Yingjie smiled and started making tea again. Guan Yunyu rested her chin and waited. When a cup of tea came up, she raised her head and drank it again. The empty cup continued to be handed to Mei Yingjie.

“Please trouble the prime minister.”

“Yunyu.” Gao Yingmin called softly, Guan Yunyu looked at Gao Yingmin, Gao Yingmin shook his head lightly, and said warmly with a smile.

“Drink the tea slowly and savor it carefully. Huh?”

“Oh.” Guan Yunyu scratched his head, and obediently withdrew his hand.

“It’s nothing, as long as Guan Shilang likes it.” While speaking, Mei Yingjie made tea for Guan Yunyu again and handed it over. Mei Yingjie got up, took the guqin and sat down opposite them, and said in a warm voice.

“I heard that Guan Shilang loves rhythm and melody very much. I know a little about piano skills. I would like to play a song for your majesty and Guan Shilang.”

“Master Prime Minister, what a skill!” Guan Yunyu praised with a thumbs up.

“I love listening to Jiangnan ditties!”

“Pfft. I won’t.” Mei Yingjie said apologetically with a slight smile.

Guan Yunyu was stunned for a moment, blushed, and immediately realized that the elegant Mei Ying had just been handed over to the oiran who was the place of fireworks.

“Prime Minister, I’m sorry.” Guan Yunyu apologized.

“Your Majesty, what do you want to hear?” Mei Yingjie asked softly, looking at Gao Yingmin.

“Song of Everlasting Regret, how about it?”

“Okay.” Mei Yingjie smiled slightly, and slid her long fingers on the strings. The melodious sound of the piano and the cold tone made her recite this song of eternal regret with a different tone.

After playing a song, the sound of the piano stops, and the aftertaste echoes in the hut.

“Your Majesty, what do you think?” Mei Yingjie raised her eyes and asked softly.

“Compared to ten years ago, Mr. Mei’s piano skills are much better.” Gao Yingmin sighed lightly.

Hearing Gao Yingmin’s words, Mr. Mei, Mei Yingjie’s calm eyes sparkled, and Guan Yunyu, who was beside him, also felt Gao Yingmin’s emotional fluctuations, and his heart felt a little sour. In terms of talent and poetry, she couldn’t compare to Mei Yingjie. Moreover, there is more than a big difference.

As night fell, the two said goodbye and left, but the sedan chair to pick them up had not yet arrived, so the two walked in the bamboo forest, under the moonlight, their figures stretched slender.

“Your Prime Minister, you are truly an outstanding person.” Guan Yunyu couldn’t help but sigh.

“Everyone has their own strengths.” Gao Yingmin noticed the little guy’s loss, and said softly.

“Yeah, his strengths are a bit too long.” Guan Yunyu blinked her phoenix eyes, and turned her head to look at Gao Yingmin.

“Then next time, you play cuju with him, compare swordsmanship, or…” Gao Yingmin’s red lips slightly raised, his cold eyes stared deeply at Guan Yunyu, and a touch of shyness lifted from the corners of his eyes.

“Or what?” Guan Yunyu looked at Gao Yingmin curiously, and saw her biting her red lip and walking forward with her back.

“Your Majesty, tell me.”

“I have to tell you everything, why don’t you guess what I mean by yourself?” Gao Ying Min Han raised his eyes and said softly.

“This, this, the holy will is unpredictable, how can I guess it.” Guan Yunyu followed Gao Yingmin and said with a smile. The disappointment just now was swept away, and she could feel that in Gao Yingmin’s heart, she was better than Mei Yingjie, and much better.

“Be my sister and guess.” Gao Yingmin said softly. It hinted that Guan Yunyu should not go up and guess as the current sage.

“Well, my sister is ten years older than my younger sister, so it’s hard to guess what she wants.” Guan Yunyu said with a smile. The person who was walking quickly stopped suddenly, and looked at her with cold eyes full of deep meaning, with the penetrating cold, Guan Yunyu’s back felt a chill.

“Your Majesty, did I say the wrong thing?” Guan Yunyu bit the tip of his tongue and asked guiltily.

“There is indeed a gap in the age of ten years old. I have wronged you.” Gao Yingmin’s voice was a little cold, and his sense of alienation doubled.

“Your Majesty!” Guan Yunyu shouted, and immediately realized that Gao Yingmin had misunderstood her meaning. She took Gao Yingmin’s slender hand, put it into the palm bit by bit, and said carefully.

“Good sister. I was wrong.”

“Where is the mistake?” Gao Yingmin asked.

“It’s wrong, you shouldn’t make fun of your age.” Guan Yunyu said seriously.

“So, you really think so in your heart, you think I’m old, don’t you?” Gao Ying looked deeply at Guan Yunyu with Min Han’s eyes, how could she not care about these things.

“of course not!”

“Your Majesty, you are overthinking!” Guan Yunyu blurted out, it can be seen from the heart, Gao Yingmin slightly pursed his lips, just about to let go of the displeasure in his heart, but Guan Yunyu said something heartless

“I just like older ones.”

Gao Yingmin threw away the little hand he was holding just now. In an instant, Gao Yingmin’s whole body was covered with cold air, which made people daunting.

“Your Majesty, I was wrong!”

“I only like you! It has nothing to do with age, personality, appearance, or pheromones. I, Guan Yunyu, only like you. No one can walk into my heart.” Standing behind Gao Yingmin, Guan Yunyu said anxiously.

Seeing Gao Yingmin stop, Guan Yunyu quickly chased after him, but seeing Gao Yingmin with a smile in his eyes, he immediately realized that he had been tricked by this man again. Just about to feel ashamed, Gao Ying and Min Han looked at her with deep eyes, parted his red lips slightly, and said something softly.

“Yun Yu, I am the same, I wish to win the hearts of one, and the white head will not be separated.”

*****************************************

During the Spring Festival, the city of Chang’an is full of excitement. Red lanterns are hung up, and the festive atmosphere is filled with the flavor of the New Year.

In the Guan mansion, the servants are busy preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner. In the kitchen, Gao Qingyao personally guards the gate. She tastes every dish before sending it to the main hall.

Today is the first time that the Holy Majesty celebrates the New Year with them, and it is not sloppy. Gao Qingyao is careful and considerate. She noticed Gao Yingmin’s favorite dishes when she came to the house last time, so she figured out Gao Yingmin’s preference, which is light and less meaty, so she specially made a few more dishes. It also fits Gao Yingmin’s taste.

During the Spring Festival holiday, there was no need to go to court, so Guan Yunyu could finally sleep peacefully. When he woke up in broad daylight, he could smell the fragrance of the food at home, touched his hungry belly, and walked into the kitchen after looking for it.

He took a plate of roast chicken from the servant, and was about to eat it, but Gao Qingyao took the roast chicken away. Their eyes met, and the eyes of the always loving old mother showed a rare sternness.

“Yunyu, why did you get up?”

“Mother, I don’t have to go to court today.” Guan Yunyu stared at the roast chicken without taking his eyes off it.

“Okay, you eat these pads first. This is the New Year’s Eve dinner, and you can eat it at night.” Gao Qingyao said softly. Passed a plate with a bowl to Guan Yunyu’s hand. Guan Yunyu took it, opened it, and saw a lonely steamed bun, which was extremely miserable.

Gao Qingyao was too busy to take care of Guan Yunyu. Seeing Guan Yunyu standing blankly at the door of the kitchen, holding a steamed bun, he was a little distracted, and urged him softly.

“Eat quickly, pack up and go to the palace to pick up His Majesty.”

“Okay.” Guan Yunyu held up the steamed bun, took a bite, then glanced at the roast chicken on the table, took another bite, and glanced at the freshly steamed sea bass. Well, for now, there is only Wangmei to quench my thirst.

***************************************

Outside the Guan mansion, the sedan chair for entering the palace has been prepared for Guan Yunyu. Guan Yunyu got on the sedan chair and went to the palace. He thought that the palace would be deserted if he did not go to court. Who would have thought that a group of ministers were lining up to enter the palace to have an audience? .

“You Gong!” Guan Yunyu jumped off the sedan chair, saw You Ran, and shouted.

“Guan Shilang!” You Ran said again with joy on his face when he saw Guan Yunyu.

“New Year’s Eve, good.”

“Okay.” Guan Yunyu nodded, and saw four or five servants following him, all holding beautifully crafted gift boxes, all dotted with red, which was particularly reminiscent of the New Year.

“Guan Shilang, are you here to give His Majesty a gift?” You Ran asked.

“Gifts?” Guan Yunyu scratched his head and looked at him puzzled. After she said this, Guan Yunyu came back to his senses, and looked at a minister with a rank of four or more, followed by servants with many gifts. Passing through the palace gate one after another, preparing to enter the palace.

“On New Year’s Eve every year, ministers will send congratulatory gifts to His Majesty to express their respect for His Majesty in the past year.” You Ran saw that Guan Yunyu was confused, so he explained.

“So that’s the case.” Guan Yunyu nodded, no wonder Guan Herang went out early in the morning, presumably to give gifts.

“But it doesn’t matter if you don’t know, this is the tacit agreement of the ministers above the fourth rank over the years.” You Ran said softly.

“Okay.” Guan Yunyu nodded, thinking, these random gifts from you are enough for my salary for a whole year.

“Let’s go, Guan Shilang, let’s go in together?” You Ran said.

Guan Yunyu nodded, and the two entered the palace together. Above the main hall, even though there was no court, it was still crowded with ministers, and the royal attendants on the side were busy recording the ritual gifts sent by each adult. Watching the treasures enter Gao Yingmin’s private treasury one after another, Guan Yunyu touched his chin and said softly.

“You Gong, here, gifts should be reciprocated, so your Majesty won’t return them?”

“Your Majesty has always spent generously. Tomorrow, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, His Majesty will give you a big bag.” You Ran blinked, revealing shrewd and calculating eyes.

“No wonder Your Majesty spent a lot of money a few days ago.” Guan Yunyu said leisurely, she knew that Youran had always been unprofitable.

After some chatter, Guan Yunyu’s eyes fell on Gao Yingmin who was sitting on the top of the main hall. The warm sun in the afternoon came in through the gate of the palace, and the dragon chair behind her shone with golden beams, giving people a sense of relief. Kind of auspicious feeling. Your Majesty, indeed, is an existence admired by thousands of people.

After the ministers delivered the gifts one by one, Gao Yingmin stepped down from the throne, and his eyes fell on Guan Yunyu softly.

“Yun Yu, I’ve been waiting for a long time.”

“Your Majesty, eat some snowflake crisps to cushion your stomach.” Guan Yunyu took out snowflake crisps from his arms and handed them to Gao Yingmin.

“Okay.” Gao Yingmin smiled slightly, picked one up, and put it on Guan Yunyu’s lips. Guan Yunyu took a bite, and with Gao Yingmin’s slightly cool fingertips stained with fragrance, he saw Gao Yingmin’s face as promised. There was a touch of shyness on his face. It’s really quite different from His Majesty who is full of demeanor in the court hall.

“I always love to mess around.” Gao Yingmin suppressed the palpitations in his heart, ate one, and his fingertips were stained with Guan Yunyu’s temperature. When he ate it, a strange thought grew in his heart.

The author has something to say: la la la. Xiaobai is here, everyone remember to sprinkle flowers~~

The door of the side room was closed, and the servants also returned to the room to rest. The courtyard was as quiet as silk. In the room, Guan Yunyu raised the booklet in his hand, and asked backgammon.

“Your Majesty, which one do you want to play first?”

The bright candlelight illuminated Gao Yingmin’s cheeks, and there was a bit of tenderness in her cold eyes. She took the things in Guan Yunyu’s hands away with her slender white hands, and leaned against her soft body. The sweet ambergris filled the entire room, making Guan Yunyu feel her enthusiasm.
