The first thing Gu Moyan did when he woke up the next morning was to burn incense for the two tokens. Every day, the incense was burning non-stop. His servant tried to persuade him a few times, but seeing that he was unmoved, he gave up.

Summer was slowly approaching this land, even the impetuous factor in the air was stirring, let alone a person.

Everyone in the palace had changed into gauze and put on their clothes. It was almost time for the Bath Orchid Festival, in the past few days, even the small brothel which had nothing to do with him had been affected by the atmosphere. Although he knew that the lords would not be invited to the party, he could not resist the servants' desire to play around, and even Gu Moyan's mood had become more lively.

Seeing that this place was the same as his own, he also had the habit of wrapping some rice dumplings. However, he was called "Hornless" and was somewhat eager to give it a try. However, he was stopped by Ye Zi. They spoke of their superiority and order, so it was best not to get too close to them.

Gu Mo Yan didn't understand, but he still agreed. He knew that this identity prevented them from going over there and being together with those people. However, this was not the reason Zi Ye refused to let him go. In the past few days, seeing the Empress's personality had made him much better. Even if some servants said in front of her that he was not the Empress, they still wouldn't say a word. If it was in the past, even if he was sent here by the emperor, it would not change the behavior of those little barbarians. However, he was afraid that if the Empress were to go now, she would suffer even more humiliation.

Just like this, Gu Moyan woke up in the morning and offered incense. She leaned back against the bed and watched as the lotus petals gradually bloomed day by day. She stood in the middle of the lake and watched the scene across the lake.

And also like in his previous life, but at least in his previous life, didn't he still have Father Gu by his side? Who was there now? Gu Moyan felt isolated again.

"Esteemed Empress, Esteemed Empress!" An excited voice rang out from outside the door. Gu Moyan put down the book in his hand and raised his head to look at Zi Ye, who had already pushed open the door with a puzzled expression.

"Empress, guess what good news it is." Zi Ye stood at the door and waved the thin, bright yellow book in his hand as if to give Gu Gu Gu Mo Yan a surprise, but he didn't go in.

Gu Moyan couldn't figure out what had made Ye Zi Ye so excited. Bright yellow? He then asked softly, "Is it the invitation?" There was no emotion in his tone.

Zi Ye was stunned as he stood at the door. After a while, he spoke as if he was talking to himself, "The Emperor is inviting the Empress to a feast. It seems like tomorrow will be the day." Saying so, he showed it to Gu Moyan, then lifted his head and looked at her with excitement.

Gu Moyan raised her eyes to take a look. Tomorrow was the day of the Bath of Orchid, and he had invited the court officials and concubines to accompany him. It wasn't strange for them to invite him.

If this was the past, Gu Moyan would probably be as excited as the current Zi Ye and want to jump in joy. Unfortunately, he wasn't. It was not as Zi Ye had wished. He only responded with a faint sound, and then his gaze returned to the book.

Zi Ye was slightly surprised. Shouldn't the Empress be happy when she sees the emperor? How could it be so plain. He was calm, as if everything was within his expectations.

Indeed, Gu Moyan didn't have much to look forward to meeting the so-called monarch again, the one who gave him warmth in his dreams. Everything was normal.
