Chapter 274： Heart (two more)

Chapter 274 Heartbeat (two more)

Chu Yi stopped, two slender fingers pinched the hairband, Gu Yanfei realized that the end of the hairband was tied at some point.

"Don't move." Chu Yi lightly untied the knot on the hair band with his fingers. Even with such a simple movement, his slender fingers were quite pleasing to the eye, giving people a gentle and powerful feeling.

Soon, Chu Yi untied the knot on the hairband, put the hairband behind Gu Yanfeiying's white ear, and smiled: "Okay."

In the morning light, the handsome and slender youth has black hair like ink, eyes like bright stars, and an elegant posture. Against the background of his warm temperament like the spring breeze, even the brilliance of the rising sun is eclipsed.

倦! thumping! thumping!

Gu Yanfei's heart beat a little faster, and the index finger of his right hand casually wrapped the hair band.

"Let's go." She walked briskly forward, and the smile between her eyebrows became brighter.

Chu Yi walked side by side with her, staring down at her clear profile face and the shallow vortex on her lips, and said: "My father likes to raise birds and a parrot, and recently he encouraged Anle to raise them too. A parrot, or even two parrots are good companions."

"A few days ago, a small country in the Western Regions just paid tribute to a few peacocks. The father was worried that the peacocks would not adapt to the soil and water, so he temporarily kept them in the bird forest, and then sent them to the palace after a month."

Peacock? Gu Yanfei's eyes lit up immediately, and she said brightly, "I have never seen a peacock before."

The middle-aged servant raised his finger with a smile and pointed in the direction, "Your Highness, Miss Gu, the sparrow forest is in the northwest."

"There are not only peacocks in the bird forest, but also other birds, starlings, golden pheasants, parrots, sparrows, magpies, great tits, swifts, pigeons... all of them."

This village is not big or small. After about half a cup of tea, a few people entered a garden through a small gate. In the early spring, hundreds of flowers were blooming in the garden, fragrant, and the fragrance of peach, jasmine, and magnolia was mixed mixed together.

The middle-aged servant led the two to an octagonal pavilion. Several plates of melons, fruits and tea were already placed on the stone table in the pavilion.

He wanted to say something, when he heard a high-pitched and strange cry suddenly came from behind a few half-height flowers: "Wow-wow!"

"Little Ancestor, don't run away..." The other servant shouted slightly at a loss, his voice shrill.

In the next instant, a colorful blue peacock with a crown of emerald feathers on its head jumped out of the flowers, galloping up with its strong and powerful claws, occasionally spreading its wings and passing over the flowers at a low altitude, running rampantly in the direction of Gu Yanfei and Chu Yi. Gorgeous feathers are dazzling.

The sound of "wow wow" in the sharp beak, like an old crow, is not very pleasant.

"Little Ancestor." In the back, a tsing-clothed servant bowed his body and quickly chased after the blue peacock. His steps were slightly staggered, and his body was stained with a few stubborn leaves and flowers, showing a bit of embarrassment.

The little maid was about to fly over to grab the blue peacock, but when he saw Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei beside the pavilion, his whole body froze, for fear of colliding with the noble.

This is the peacock! Gu Yanfei looked at the blue peacock in front of him without blinking, and couldn't help thinking of the favorite mount of the elder sister of the Yaoling Realm.

That is a divine bird called the Imperial Bird. It is prettier and more vigorous than this blue peacock, especially the long tail feathers are radiant.

“Meow~”

The three-flowered cat poked out its head curiously from the cape and hood behind Gu Yanfei, her eyes were round, and her green eyes shone in the sunlight.

Imperial bird! Like a king bird!

The cat also recognized it and was very excited.

When he was in Yaoling Realm, Qingguang liked the tail feather of the emperor bird and kept chasing it, but the emperor bird was arrogant, disdainful of Qingguang, and pecked it several times.

"Meow!"

Qingguang nimbly jumped on Gu Yanfei's shoulders, then kicked his hind legs, and flew towards the blue peacock excitedly.

It made a series of movements like flowing water, leaped from mid-air, and landed lightly on the back of the peacock.

Gu Yanfei was caught off guard by the crazy cat, and staggered back half a step.

"Be careful." Chu Yi crossed her arms to support her slender waist, and her voice was always gentle and elegant.

He looks thin, but his arms are sturdy under the wide sleeves, and even through the sleeves, he can feel the lines of his arms fluently.

The faint scent of snow and green bamboo drifted in the air, it was very familiar and smelled very good.

When did she become familiar with the scent?

This thought suddenly appeared in Gu Yanfei's mind, and he heard Chu Yi say again, "Sit down."

She subconsciously listened to Chu Yi's words, sat down on the stone bench beside the stone table, and grabbed a green jujube from the fruit plate to eat.

"Crack."

The green jujube has a crisp taste, and the sweet taste fills the mouth, and the sweet taste reaches the bottom of my heart.

"Wow!"

Outside the pavilion, the frightened blue peacock screamed excitedly, spread its wings, and flew low in the air, and its wings brushed the treetops and flowers from time to time, causing the branches to sway, and "rustling" fell. A leaf and a falling flower, one after another...

The peacock flew and flew, and the cat was still squatting on the back of the peacock, as steady as a mountain.

This scene shocked the little maid.

At first, the little waiter wondered if he should get the cat down, but when his eyes met the cat's emerald green eyes, he was stunned and stared at the three-colored cat on the peacock's back.

So beautiful!

So cute!

Gu Yanfei laughed out loud and called out, "Qingguang!"

Qingguang jumped off the peacock's back in a dull way, landed gently on a peach tree not far away, crouched on the top of the tree, and slowly licked his paws.

The blue peacock was relieved and flew briskly to another small green peacock not far away.

It stopped at a distance of only seven or eight steps from the other party, and instantly unfolded its colorful tail feathers, shaped like a huge folding fan, as gorgeous as the most gorgeous and exquisite silk, shining in the sun, as beautiful as a dream phantom.

The green peacock glanced at it with disgust, and walked to the other side. The blue peacock immediately chased after it, and rushed to the front of the green peacock two or three times, and then the body shook again, and the tail feathers opened the screen again.

The green peacock ran, the blue peacock chased, and the screen was turned on repeatedly.

Gu Yanfei couldn't help laughing so much that he leaned forward and backward, unable to restrain himself.

"Is it showing off?" Gu Yanfei's eyes leaked a little bit of tears, and he touched a green jujube from the fruit bowl.

A few strands of blue silk poured down as she leaned forward, hanging down on her chest, and her jet-black hair was thick and dense, like the finest silk.

Chu Yi's slender fingers moved, they lifted slightly, but finally pressed them down again, and said softly, "No."

As he spoke, he made a gesture, and the several servants around him silently retreated.

Gu Yanfei raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Yi.

Chu Yi was sitting beside the colorful peach trees, with sparse eyebrows and a clear smile, and the petals of a few peach blossoms just fell on his shoulders.

"It's courting." He stared into her eyes for a moment and said slowly.

Youth has a voice that is softer than the spring breeze, which penetrates directly into people's hearts.

Gu Yanfei opened his eyes slightly, and the words he said to her on the day of the flounder feast rang in his ears again: "I have a sweetheart."

These simple words, recalled at this time, every word seemed to fall on the apex of her heart.

It was only at this moment that Gu Yanfei noticed that he was wearing a formal dress today. He was wearing a green lotus-colored bamboo-leaf pattern with a dark pattern, and a small vertical-collar shirt with a frosted white embroidered silver cloud pattern on the neckline, and a white jade belt around his waist. There is a small print of Bichan lying on a bamboo joint and a snow-blue purse hanging down.

The same snow blue color as her dress.

So, he is also... courting?

Chu Yi kept staring at her, staring at her every reaction.

The last time she was painting the boat, she looked at him without shyness and frankness, but this time seems to be a little different.

His heart swayed slightly, weighing in his heart whether he should stop here and continue to pursue it slowly, or, make a decisive decision and pursue the victory.

He made a decision in an instant, took out a white suet hairpin from his sleeve, handed it to her, and said gently, "I carved this hosta, do you like it?"

"Qingmei Hairpin" was carved by Emperor Taizu himself and presented to Queen Taizu, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.

And this hosta was carved by him for her, and it belongs only to him and her.

Chu Yi's eyes were deep, and he moved the hosta in his hand half a foot in the direction of Gu Yanfei.

The head of the white hosta is impressively carved with a pair of half-and-half lotus flowers. The layers of petals are carved so vividly that even the fine lines on the petals are clear and distinct.

倦! thumping! thumping!

Gu Yanfei's heartbeat accelerated again, and there were signs of losing control.

In his warm eyes, the roots of his ears were even slightly warmer.

She couldn't help touching her chest.

Is this a heartbeat?

Gu Yanfei remembered what the ninth senior sister of the sect once said to her, and her heart was filled with the stars all lit up...

She still can't seem to understand this feeling.

She was immersed in her own world, completely unaware that Xiao Shi hurriedly ran from outside the garden to this side.

"Your Highness, the guests are here." Xiao Shi clasped his fists towards Chu Yi in the pavilion and said, when he said the word "guest", his tone was a little weird.

"Bring someone here." Chu Yi commanded lightly, and unconsciously squeezed the jade hairpin in his hand.

After    Xiao Shi responded, he ran away again like a gust of wind, and pouted his lips in disdain.

For this guest, he really has no good feelings!

Seeing that Gu Yanfei didn't speak for a long time, Chu Yi sighed inwardly, half-drooping his eyes, slightly turning the parallel jade hairpin in his hand, thinking to himself: He is still too impatient.

Let’s keep going!

He was about to put this hosta away, but he heard the girl's voice as clear as spring water: "I like it."

Chu Yi was stunned for a moment, opened his eyelids and looked at the girl beside him.

The girl's pupils were as bright as cold stars.

She raised her hand and took the parallel lotus hairpin in Chu Yi's hand, with a bright smile on her lips, and her eyes were like autumn water.

She still didn't know the feeling of bright stars in the sky, but she felt that he was brighter than the rising sun.

This is of course a heartbeat.

For the first time in more than two hundred years.
