It seemed that regardless of whether Situ Yu wanted it or not, the bestowed decree had long been prepared. What Situ Ming wanted was only his attitude!

After the imperial edict had been announced, Ying Chang was immediately promoted to three levels in a row to become an imperial concubine, and Situ Yu was granted an estate outside the palace for breaking the rules. One had to know, princes normally only have the chance to leave the palace after getting married once more. Although Situ Yu was already an adult, he had never been able to get married due to Situ Ming's unwillingness all these years, and adding to the fact that he had never been interested in women, even though he was already twenty-four years old, he still had not gotten married.

"Imperial Father, this banquet's silk bamboo dance music is truly boring. This son has a good idea!"

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was enchanted as they enjoyed the performance of the musicians and dancers. Only Situ Yu looked at them with disdain.

"Old Six, the musicians and dancers in this palace are the best in the world, yet you say it's boring!"

The one who followed up was the First Prince. He looked at Situ Yu with a look of despise.

"Ol'sixth, feel free to say anything you want!"

With regards to the First Prince's choking towards Situ Yu, Situ Ming frowned as he felt that this eldest son of his really wouldn't do anything and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Big Brother said that this musician is the best in the world, but this subject may not see it. If I were to say that this is the best, then I believe that everyone has witnessed a competition some time ago.

From the moment Situ Yu entered the palace, he had not even glanced at Gu Shiyi, which allowed Gu Shiyi, who was already at ease, to calm down by half. However, the competition he was talking about, what other matches would there be other than her and Shangguan Xianyue's talent competition?!

"Oh, Gu Shiyi! It is indeed the best! "

He had mixed feelings towards Gu Shiyi a long time ago, but he never thought that this son would be able to understand his intentions so easily. Since he had already started, then she might as well continue with what she had to say.

"Royal brother, your servant's wangfei is not your dancer or musician!"

Situ Jing's imposing manner and that cut like voice brought back reality to Situ Ming's unrealistic thoughts.

"Fourteenth Uncle, Fourteenth Aunt naturally isn't something those court musicians can compare to. Royal father, this son suggested, since it's a family banquet, and my brothers and sisters all know one or two musical instruments, how about we all give a song for our royal father? And this, isn't Fourteenth Aunt's performance too abrupt, don't you think, Fourteenth Aunt?"

It was the first time Situ Yu had looked at Gu Shiyi, and he just so happened to meet Gu Shiyou's gaze. The emotions in their eyes became complicated, and once again, Gu Shiyi's relaxed heart became uneasy.

"Brother Six is right. Brother Fourteenth, this time you should let your sister display her former glory!"

Situ Ming felt that his mood was very good, and the more he looked at his son, the more he liked him. This allowed him to check if his children had worked hard, and also allowed him to see Gu Shiyi's demeanor.

"In reply to the emperor, when the lantern was hung eleven days ago, my fingers were twisted. I'm afraid I can't perform for the emperor anymore!"

Before Situ Jing could speak, Gu Shiyi answered first and then revealed his swollen fingers in front of everyone, proving that she was not lying and was truly unable to perform.

"If that's the case, then I'll raise my sister-in-law well. Let's start with boss!"

Although Gu Shiyi hurt Situ Ming with her hands and was a little disappointed, she was still full of interest towards her children's performance.

As Gu Shiyi sat down, she kept her head down the entire time, and didn't notice the astonishment and pain in Situ Jing's eyes beside him.

He never thought that in order to reject Situ Ming's request, this woman would actually hide the truth and break his fingers.

She didn't want to perform. Did he want her to perform? Did she not trust him that much?

With regards to Gu Shiyi's actions, Situ Jing felt both heartache and anger, and could only helplessly grasp onto Gu Shiyi in the end.

Gu Shiyi's eyes dimmed. Although she was not sure if the current Situ Yu was the Situ Yu of the past, she did not dare gamble. If it was the Situ Yu of the past, if he wanted her to perform, even if she had a hundred excuses, he still had ways to make her go up on stage.

Hence, right now, other than trying to break her own fingers, he really couldn't gamble. She couldn't predict what kind of tricks Situ Yu would come up with when she actually got on the stage.

Gu Shiyi was not in the mood to listen to the princes and princesses' performance. She only wanted to quickly end this feast and return home.

A familiar tune played next to Gu Shiyi's ears, causing the calmness on Gu Shiyi's face to be unable to be maintained any longer.

At this moment, the true answer was tightly held in Gu Shiyi's chest, and was about to come out.

It was actually the final melody of the eleventh melody. No one was more familiar with this melody than Gu Shiyi, because it was created jointly by Gu Shiyi and Situ Yu.

Gu Shiyi's left hand was tightly pinching the severed finger on her right hand. The enormous pain was not enough to cover up the immense hatred and pain in her heart at this moment.

Gu Shiyi's eyes turned red, she stared straight at Situ Yu who was playing the flute in his heart, and suddenly felt a sense of warmth in her hand. Gu Shiyi turned her head, and saw that Situ Jing was looking at her worriedly, and she finally realised that her right hand had been pinched so tightly that her hand was covered in blood.

Only now did Gu Shiyi realize that she had lost control of herself.

"Jing, I'm not feeling well. I need to rest!"

For some reason, when Situ Jing held her hand, Gu Shiyi actually felt at ease, and even felt an inexplicable sense of grievance rise in the bottom of her heart.

At this moment, she did not want to stay here, not even for a second. She knew, Situ Jing would not disappoint her.

As expected, Situ Jing immediately used his hoarse voice to interrupt Situ Yu's flute music. After explaining the reason to Situ Ming, he directly carried Gu Shiyi onto his body, turned his wheelchair, and left the banquet hall.

No one noticed that when Situ Jing left with Gu Shiyi, a smile that was even more enchanting and beautiful than the bloodthirsty Mandala had appeared on Situ Yu's lips.

"Sixth brother, what kind of music is this, why is it so opposite to the music Aunt Fourteenth played on the day of the competition!"

The one who spoke was the Fifth Prince who always liked the sound of music and music. On that day, he was also present in the competition between Gu Shiyi and Shangguan Xianyue, and on the spot, he was completely convinced that it was Gu Shiyi's piano. And during this period of time, he had been researching the music that Gu Shiyi played on that day.
