Chapter 45 The Prince

"Mi woo!" Qingguang was instantly attracted, the cat's eyes widened instantly, it flew up, slapped a paw on the box, and grabbed a round golden bead from it. .

It went down with its claws and knocked down the wooden box. In an instant, most of the jewels in the box were poured out.

Gu Yanfei: "..."

Chu Yi put his fist on his lips and smiled lowly.

Qingguang didn't notice the accident it made at all, and focused on chasing Jinzhu to play.

's nimble little claws slapped the gold beads around and around.

Gu Yanfei stared at the stupid cat silently.

Chu Yi closed the box and took the share that the milk cat "distributed" to him.

Chu Yi got out of the carriage with the box, and he casually stuffed the box into Xiao Shi.

"It's time to meet King Jing."

Chu Yi lightly dropped this sentence, and walked to the southeast, facing the rustling autumn wind.

The back of the young man in white is thin and vigorous, like a green bamboo in the snow, rich and elegant.

Xiao Shi held the box and followed Chu Yi briskly, wrinkling his nose.

King Jing is the cousin of King Kang and Jinshang. He has always been close to King Kang since the first emperor was alive, and Chu Yi was away from Beijing for eight years. The court, including King Jing, was not familiar with him, and most of them meant to wait and see what happened.

Today, Chu Yi was not actually invited, but came to the palace on his own. His original intention was to test King Jing's attitude, but he was given a cold reception. After King Jing asked them to take them to the Moonlight Tower, they never showed up again.

When Chu Yi left the Yueguang Tower, Xiao Shi thought they were going back to the palace, but he didn't expect that the master came to see Gu Yanfei on purpose.

Yes, the master has always acted with his own reasons, but he is not someone who goes with the flow and is at the mercy of others. King Jing really made a wrong calculation!

Xiao Shi grinned and quickly followed Chu Yi. The master and servant walked through a moon gate one after the other.

Behind the gate of the Moon Cave is lush and lush, with a fragrant fragrance, and there is not a bit of the bleakness of autumn, and the hearty laughter comes with the wind.

"Hey, hey, I'll tell you first, no one is allowed to argue with me!" Not far ahead, Li Zhulang raised his voice vigorously.

Li Zhulang and other six or seven young masters walked towards this side with a smile.

"That can't be done!" Another rough-sounding son laughed and objected, "My lady, a gentleman is so arrogant, why should we let you?"

"That's it!"

"Everyone competes fairly!"

“…”

Several young masters were chatting and talking, it was very lively.

Suddenly, three or four sparrows flew by wings next to each other.

The bird **** happened to fall on Li Zhulang's hair crown, Li Zhulang subconsciously wiped it, and when he saw the smelly bird **** on his fingers, his face turned black.

The five or six sons around him all saw this scene.

For a moment, time seemed to stop, everyone stood still, and the sound disappeared abruptly.

"Pfft!" The little boy was the first to laugh, pointing at Li Zhulang and laughing back and forth, "It turns out that Miss Gu Er was telling you to be careful of 'bird shit', cousin."

"Precise! Miss Gu Er is really accurate." Another young man smiled and tapped the palm of his hand with the fan handle.

"Brother Li, bird droppings off the top of your head, this is a sign of bad luck, do you want to go to the temple to worship, to get rid of bad luck?"

“…”

Several young masters laughed and laughed at Li Zhulang.

Chu Yi also heard it, and naturally knew who the second girl they were talking about. He glanced at them casually, and Ruifeng's eyes flashed with a faint smile.

Chu Yi, dressed in white as snow, has an outstanding appearance and an elegant bearing. He has a detached and cool demeanor in his gestures, which is in stark contrast to the group of young men in brocade clothes and smiling faces.

When the two sides passed by, Li Zhulang couldn't help but glanced at Chu Yi, and met a pair of dark and clear Ruifeng eyes.

Obviously the other party didn't do anything, but Li Zhulang felt a soft and invisible sense of oppression.

He is... Li Zhulang stared at Chu Yi, froze as if frozen.

Chu Yi nodded slightly at Li Zhulang, without stopping, he continued to walk forward, and Xiao Shi followed behind him.

The other young masters saw that Li Zhulang was behind and called him back.

Li Zhulang blankly turned his face towards them, and suddenly said like a dream, "Yes, it's the first prince!" Why did the first prince come? !

The eldest prince, Chu Yi, was only ten years old when he left the capital. He just returned to Beijing after eight years, and he has not yet come to the court to govern, so most people don't know what he looks like.

"That person just now was the first prince?"

"Didn't you say that the first prince is in a bad state, is he recuperating recently?"

Other people stared wide-eyed in surprise or curiosity, and hurriedly stretched their necks to look, but Chu Yi's figure had long since disappeared around the corner.

A few feet away, two more sparrows spread their wings across the sky one after the other, twittering and flying out of the palace, passing by on a flat-topped carriage outside the palace.

The carriage was quiet, and the sound of the wheels and hooves outside was particularly clear.

Gu Yunzhen did not wait for Gu Yunchang after all, so she had to leave another carriage in the palace, and she and Gu Yanfei returned to the palace first.

Gu Yun's sincerity was serious, and she rubbed and twisted one of the handkerchiefs.

Qingguang, who had been playing for a while, was tired again, and curled up beside Gu Yanfei into a round, fluffy ball of hair.

After    a stick of incense sticks, their carriage arrived at the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Gu Yunzhen was the first to get off the carriage, and the first sentence he hurriedly asked the concierge, "Has the third lady come back?"

"Never." The old woman shook her head.

"..." Gu Yunzhen's brows furrowed together tightly, and he was even more worried.

The two sisters said goodbye at the door of ceremonies, Gu Yunzhen went to Cihetang, and Gu Yanfei carried the cat back to Yuheng Garden.

However, Gu Yanfei had just changed into a lotus-colored shirt, and before he could take a sip of water, Bai Lu, the maid of Cihetang, came and said that Mrs. Tai invited her over.

So, she went.

was greeted by a china cup that flew towards her and was thrown at her head.

"Nie Barrier!" Mrs. Gu Tai scolded with a dark face, her usual grace and bearing no longer existed.

The porcelain cup flew very fast, but Gu Yanfei just turned to one side slightly, and then managed to dodge it gently and skillfully.

The cup passed her shoulders and smashed hard against the wall behind her, shattering her bones. It can be seen that Mrs. Gu Tai's strength is not light.

Seeing that Gu Yanfei dared to hide, Mrs. Gu Tai became more and more angry, her cloudy eyes were filled with anger, she grabbed the tea cover and wanted to throw it out...

Gu Yunzhen quickly stopped in front of Gu Yanfei, and hurriedly advised: "Grandma, calm down."

Gu Yanfei's face changed slightly, and he noticed that Gu Yunzhen's forehead had a thin bloodstain hidden under the neat and thick bangs, looming.

Looking at the tea stains and broken pieces of porcelain in front of Mrs. Gu Tai's Arhat bed, Gu Yanfei immediately understood what was going on.

Before she came, Mrs. Gu Tai was afraid that she had already smashed a cup, and the shards of porcelain splashed up and scratched Gu Yunzhen's forehead.

Her grandmother, she really likes smashing things for two lifetimes!
