Chapter 43 Beloved

Gu Yanfei looked up at the blue sky, his white jade-like white and white jade face was neither surprised nor angry, and said in his heart: He is indeed the darling of heaven.

Gu Yunxie was afraid that he thought the law of heaven was unfair to him, so he kept saying to the Queen Mother that "the heaven and the earth are not benevolent".

However, Gu Yunxie was wrong.

Heaven and earth treat all things equally.

Even if he is a child of luck in a small world, the favor of heaven will not be unreasonable.

Chu You's heart was pierced by a knife, and he put all the blame on Gu Yanfei, wishing to let her blood splatter on the spot.

He grabbed Gu Yunxie's hand, held it tightly, and expressed his feelings to Queen Mother Yuan in a clear voice: "Mother, I will not marry unless I am a minister!"

"Don't listen to slander and be provoked!"

He pulled Gu Yunxie to leave, his eyes were as firm as a rock.

"..." Gu Yunwei shook off Chu You's hand without saying a word, her cherry lips were tightly pursed, and bitterness spread in her mouth.

In the past, she thought that background and status were not important, as long as King Kang treated her sincerely, it was enough for her to treat him with sincerity in return.

Until this moment, she felt the supremacy of imperial power and filial piety in this era.

Even if Chu You is a dignified prince, he can't fight against the queen mother!

A word from the Queen Mother can change her marriage...even her fate.

Heaven is unfair!

Gu Yunxie respectfully saluted the Queen Mother Yuan, and then left without looking back under the sighing eyes of everyone.

"My son!"

Knowing that she was annoyed, Chu You quickly chased after her.

The whole hall was silent, the atmosphere was stiff, everyone looked at each other, all shut their mouths, for fear of being angered by the Queen Mother.

"..." Empress Dowager Yuan was so angry that she clenched her cuff tightly with her right hand.

She is a daughter of an aristocratic family, she pays great attention to etiquette and self-cultivation, even if she is extremely angry, she does not lose her composure on the face, but her figure is slightly stiff.

"Queen," at this time, Li Zhulang moved closer to Queen Mother Yuan, and actively opened up the atmosphere with a smile, "Did you place a bet on the game just now?"

Li Zhulang's grandmother is the cousin of the Empress Dowager Yuan, and he has a sweet mouth since he was a child, so he is quite loved by the Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager Yuan adjusted her emotions in a very short period of time, and said lightly: "Zhulang, have you started a gamble?"

Seeing that Empress Dowager Yuan did not take her anger out on Li Zhulang, the others breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere eased a little.

Li Zhulang nodded with a playful smile, "It's rare for me to be a banker once."

"We had a draw, which means that everyone lost, but you, the banker, won alone." Princess Changqing said with a half-smile.

"The Princess is wrong!" Li Zhulang shook his index finger, "Someone bet on a draw."

While speaking, the young boy in Chinese clothes brought a box full of bets, and brought it to Gu Yanfei with a smile.

Even if he didn't call the name, everyone guessed that the person who bet on the draw was Gu Yanfei.

There was a silence around, and then, there was an uproar again.

For a moment, Gu Yanfei once again became the focus of everyone's attention.

Changqing blinked, and asked in astonishment: "Second Miss Gu bet on a draw?"

"Yes, yes." The young boy nodded again and again, and he still feels that there is no sense of reality.

The chance of a draw is less than 10%, but the beauty actually won the bet. This is really good luck!

If it wasn't for his cousin's inability to persuade Changqing Princess and the others to play match-fixing, he would almost suspect that it was his cousin's intention to send money to the beauties.

Li Zhulang handed the box of bets to Gu Yanfei, his eyes lingering on her delicate and pretty face, and his heart beat faster.

Great, it turns out that the beauty has no engagement, so he still has a chance!

He is not afraid of competitors, but Luo Fu has a husband!

Li Zhulang's eyes lit up, and he asked without words: "Miss Gu, how did you guess that?"

The young masters next to him waved their folding fans disapprovingly, thinking that Li Zhulang, a guy who boasts of being eloquent, can't even speak when he meets a beautiful woman. There are so many questions, such a beautiful woman, she is right to do anything!

Gu Yanfei shook her finger and said with a casual smile, "I figured it out."

Li Zhulang didn't take it seriously, clapped his hands cheerfully, followed her words and exclaimed: "So the girl can tell fortunes!"

He took the initiative to send the palm of his left hand to Gu Yanfei, with the palm facing up, and said: "Miss, please take a look for me."

Gu Yanfei glanced at him casually, raised his brows slightly, and said something: "Mr. Li, be careful of birds today."

"Cousin, didn't you knock over a crow's nest the day before yesterday? I heard that crows hold grudges the most." The young boy gloated and laughed, thinking that Gu Yanfei was joking.

Li Zhulang didn't take it seriously either, and tried to talk to Gu Yanfei: "Is it a crow?"

A group of young masters who had a good relationship with Li Zhulang also surrounded him in a joking manner, and said with each other:

"Brother Li, I think you might as well not go out these few days. Crows are as good at forming gangs as monkeys."

"The crow also likes to peck your hair. If you are bald by it, it will be ugly."

"..."

Everyone knew that Li Zhulang was a good-natured person, so they laughed and laughed at him.

The atmosphere became heated again with their talking and laughing.

Empress Dowager Yuan looked indifferent, and after sitting for half a cup of tea, she got up on the pretext of being "tired".

Concubine Jing and Princess Changqing also got up immediately, surrounded by Empress Dowager Yuan and left.

Everyone stood in place and saluted in unison, sending off the Queen Mother respectfully.

Afterwards, the surroundings fell into an embarrassing silence, only the sound of sparrows brushing against the branches could be heard.

After the episode just now, everyone was a little absent-minded, looking at Gu Yanfei from time to time, after all, the other three protagonists had already left.

The atmosphere could never return to the excitement it had before.

In particular, many noble ladies came here for the queen mother, but now they feel as if they have been poured a bucket of cold water, and their interest has faded.

Anyway, the polo match was over, and the noble ladies offered to leave one after another, and within a short while, half of them left.

Gu Yanfei followed Gu Yunzhen to bid farewell to Princess Changqing. When the sisters arrived at Neiyi Gate, the carriages from other prefectures were in a hurry.

The two carriages of the Hou Mansion stopped there alone.

Gu Yunzhen originally thought that Gu Yunxie had already left, but since Gu Yunxie's carriage was here, it meant that she hadn't left yet.

Gu Yunzhen squeezed the veil tightly, frowned worriedly, and asked the rough envoy who accompanied the Marquis Mansion, "Have you seen the third girl?"

The coarse envoy shook her head.

Gu Yunzhen looked around, but still did not see Gu Yunxie, and said softly, "Second Sister, get in the carriage first, I will wait here."

She summoned the maid from the palace again and asked about Gu Yunxie's whereabouts.

Gu Yanfei took Juan Bi out of Neiyi Gate and came to the second carriage.

The carriage curtain was half lifted, Gu Yanfei supported Juanbi's hand to get on the carriage, and as soon as her face poked into the carriage, she met two figures, one big and one small.

In the carriage besides Sanhuamao Qingguang, there was also a tall and slender figure with a cascade of black hair in a half bob and half drape, white clothes like snow, and an orchid and jade tree.

The person sits on the left and the cat squats on the right.

One person and one cat faced each other three feet apart, their eyes wide open and small eyes wide open, all in silence.
