MTL - Accidentally Married Miss Empress-Chapter 14
The lucky bag is used by the palace for Chinese New Year blessings. It is similar to a red envelope, but it may not contain money, but may also be things.
It's just that most of the lucky bags are family members or very close friends who will give them to each other.
Heavy snow fell on the ground for several days, and the entire palace country was surrounded by white snow. Gong Yu, who came out of the palace in the early morning, sneezed and hurriedly tightened his cloak.
The palace hall was very quiet. As he got older, it was inconvenient for Gong Yu to enter the harem. He just thought that the waste palace was still imprisoned, so he took a detour to visit.
Holding a cake in his hand, and the guards in front of the door did not stop him, Gong Yu went straight to the hospital, and the snow in the courtyard was already cleaned by the palace staff.
"Why are you here, Ninth Highness?" The maid knelt in the snow and saluted, turning her head to the little maids beside her, and said, "Come and report."
"I'm here to visit the eldest brother."
Gong Yu looked sideways and waited for a while in the main hall. Gong Quan was dressed in white like snow, but his eyebrows showed a sullen look.
This is a little different from the first Gongquan I saw. Gong Yu held the tea and said with a smile: "I wish the emperor a happy new year."
Gong Quan sat aside and replied, "Xiao Jiu really has a heart."
"I heard that the father and king have been feeling unwell recently, have you asked an imperial doctor for a good diagnosis and treatment?"
"The wounds left by that battle are too serious. Every winter, the father and the king always say that it hurts. The imperial doctor may be able to do something, but he can only rely on the decoction to apply it."
The incense in the hall was strong, and Gong Yu only felt that the smell was a bit similar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
The maid quietly prepared tea and fruit snacks. Although Gong Yu was greedy, she never took it, just looked away.
The two didn't have much to talk about, so Gong Yu got up and said a few words before leaving the yard.
Coincidentally, I met the Grand Master in the palace road, Gong Yu said hello obediently, and the Grand Master suddenly asked, "Your Highness Ninth, have you finished copying the laws of the palace?"
Forehead…
Sure enough, it was an old fox, and even the father and king didn't mention it.
"Thank you Taifu for your concern. The laws of the palace country are divided into three volumes, and it will take some time for three hundred repetitions." Gong Yu replied.
Waiting for the sedan chair to leave the palace, Gong Yu clutched the stove in her hand tightly. The streets in the capital city were naturally prosperous, but it was still early, and most of the shops had not yet opened, but they seemed a little depressed.
Back at the mansion, Gong Yuwo sat in the courtyard, originally planning to go back to sleep, but this time, he could only bury his head in front of the desk.
This thick palace law is not a joke, Gong Yu turned the pen, thinking that it would be fine if there was copy paper.
Of course this is just wishful thinking.
Just like this, Gong Yu had never left the mansion until before the Shangyuan Festival, and the paper piled up in the study was half the height of a person.
However, 300 times is still a long way off.
Unable to bear the hustle and bustle outside, at night, Gong Yu and a few servants slipped out through the back door.
The lantern festival is naturally lively, the streets crowded with vendors are full of water, and the wonderful lion dance attracts everyone to stop.
Gong Yu dragged a pile of food in his hand and turned around in the crowd. Because there were too many people, he walked to the stone bridge.
Looking down from the stone bridge, this long street is brightly lit, full of people, and it is very lively.
Although the snow hasn't melted yet, it's still a little cold, and Gong Yu is very warm with the roasted sweet potato in her hands.
Just as he was about to leave the bridge, he happened to catch a glimpse of the person on the second floor of the restaurant, Gong Yu stopped, thinking that this is not A Yan?
The handsome boy on the other side, how come he looks so angry.
"Hey, Dian... Where are you going, son?" The servants waiting on the side were full of panic and looked at Gong Yu who was walking away without paying attention.
Gong Yu crossed the threshold, and the second shopkeeper enthusiastically stepped forward and asked, "Does the guest officer want to have a good private room or have an appointment with someone?"
"I'm going to the second floor."
"I'm sorry, this guest officer, the second floor has been packed by a distinguished guest."
"I know that the distinguished guest above I am familiar with her." Gong Yu gave Ding Yinzi and said, "I don't believe it, you will see if I will be driven down if I go up."
The shop assistant was stunned by what Gong Yu said, and watched Gong Yu quickly slip up to the second floor.
Gong Yu, who was hiding in the dark, saw Dai Ruyan, who was sitting by the window, holding a white chessboard in his hand and looking at the chessboard seriously, and the man on the opposite side had a sword in his hand.
The expressions of the two were quite similar, and they didn't notice Gong Yu's existence at all. Gong Yu stuffed almonds into his mouth and ate slowly.
It was obvious that there was a lot of noise outside the window, but the two of them just didn't move, and Gong Yu's neck hurt.
The man put down his chess pieces and said with a smile: "Dai girl is very skilled at chess, and she is ashamed of herself."
Dai Ruyan's expression was the same as before, as if there was no more emotional expression, just put down the white chess in his hand and responded:
"Is Gu's Villa okay?"
"Don't worry, girl, everything is fine."
The man picked up the tea and drank it boldly, but his eyes never took his eyes off Dai Ruyan's face. Obviously, he was also a lustful womanizer.
As for why use this word?
Gong Yu himself didn't quite understand, but the man opposite suddenly forgot to come over, so frightened that Gong Yu stopped breathing.
Fortunately, the man seemed to look away again, just looked at Dai Ruyan, and said to himself:
"Although the scenery from the outside the Great Wall to the capital is good, there is no beautiful person to accompany you, and there is a little taste."
"Young Master Gu is used to coming here without restraint, so how can you be entangled by a beautiful woman?" Dai Ruyan poured tea and drank it carelessly.
The man's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he whispered, "Ayan, you should know my heart."
"Young Master Gu, then you should also know that it is impossible for us."
The atmosphere suddenly became weird, and Gong Yu felt that the embarrassment of the screen was about to emerge.
He simply stood up from the dark, stretched out his hand to sort out the pastry crumbs scattered on his body, and walked out generously.
"Sister Dai, why are you here?" Now Gong Yu lied without blinking.
The man turned his head to look at Gong Yu, his eyes were full of scrutiny, he held the sword subconsciously and scolded: "Who allowed you to come up?"
Gong Yu was so frightened that she hid behind Dai Ruyan, and said with a smile close to her: "It's so fierce, no wonder elder sister Dai doesn't like you."
"You!" The man was obviously angry.
Dai Ruyan said helplessly: "Xiao Jiu, don't make a fool of yourself."
"Young Master Gu, I still have something to do. Could you please avoid it first?"
The man got up angrily and glared at Gong Yu, not as bold and free as before.
Until the second floor was empty without the slightest sound, Gong Yu leaned against the window and stopped beside Dai Ruyan.
"Do you know who he is?" Dai Ruyan looked up at Gong Yu slightly, and reached out to straighten Gong Yu's messy robe.
Gong Yu poured tea and drank, thought about it, shook his head and asked, "Is it a very important person?"
"He is the only son of Master Gu, a wealthy businessman in the world, Gu Qing."
"More money than our family?"
Gong Yu said jokingly:
"Of course he has more money."
Gong Yu held the water glass and said hesitantly, "Ayan, I'm going to chase him now, is there still time?"
If you want to come and ask Gu Qing on behalf of Ruyan, obviously there should be some important things to discuss.
Dai Ruyan pulled Gong Yu to the side and replied, "Now you know why I told you not to mess around."
Gong Yu sat beside him obediently, stretched out his hand on the red lacquered wooden table and said, "He is rich, but unfortunately businessmen have never been valued by the court. If Ayan married him, he should have earned it."
"Who told you that I'm going to marry him." Dai Ruyan raised her eyebrows slightly, poked Gong Yu's bulging simplicity with her fingertips, and said with a raised corner of her mouth, "You are taller, and you look a lot thinner. , why doesn't the flesh on the face always fall off?"
Gong Yu ignored it, thinking to herself in her head, why did she always feel like she was talking in anger just now.
Probably because Gong Yu was too quiet, Dai Ruyan put her hands away and said earnestly, "You don't want to go to the palace banquet because of your illness, but you sneak out of the mansion, so you're not afraid that others will laugh at you for being playful."
"No, I've been copying the laws of the palace for the past few days." Gong Yu stretched out her hand, frowned and said, "My hand is about to be copied."
"Then have you finished copying?" Dai Ruyan reached out and rubbed Gong Yu's wrist lightly, with a very natural expression.
"not yet."
Gong Yu always thought that her hands were skinny and tender enough, but Dai Ruyan's hands were slender and slender, fair and tender.
"If the pain is very severe, you should ask a doctor to apply medicine, so as to save the root cause of the disease." Dai Ruyan rubbed lightly, her delicate and gentle voice fascinated.
"Did you hear that?" Dai Ruyan asked seriously, looking at Gong Yuman.
Gong Yu, like a thief who was caught, quickly looked away and responded, "Well...I heard."
"How did you know I was here?" Dai Ruyan asked naturally.
"It happened to be seen on the stone bridge over there." Gong Yu answered honestly.
The night outside the window is sultry, and you can vaguely smell the sweet pastry fragrance spreading in the air.
Dai Ruyan loosened her hands and said, "If you see me in the future, don't hide anymore, you will be discovered every time you save."
"Has it been discovered?" Gong Yu thought he was hiding well.
"If you were quieter eating pastries in that corner, you might still not be noticed."
Forehead…
Dai Ruyan looked sideways at the window and raised her mouth slightly, "Have you been to see the eldest prince?"
"Well, but it didn't take long."
Gong Yu didn't tell anyone about the visit to Gong Quan, but when Dai Ruyan asked about it, Gong Yu was not surprised.
After all, I always feel that Dai Ruyan seems to want to know something, and he can easily understand it.
"Xiao Jiu, what do you think of your eldest brother?" Dai Ruyan suddenly asked very seriously.
Gong Yu thought for a while and replied: "I don't understand, I just think he is probably a thoughtful person."
Dai Ruyan smiled and said nothing.
So Gong Yu didn't know what Dai Ruyan was laughing at, so she asked, "Ayan, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm thinking, today is the New Year's Day."
"yes."
Gong Yu didn't understand what Dai Ruyan meant.
Dai Ruyan looked at the chessboard in front of her and said, "But I have never eaten glutinous rice **** or watched lanterns."
"Then I'll take you there." Gong Yu said with a smile: "I have eaten all the way, and I remember where the dumplings taste the best."
"Can you still eat?" Dai Ruyan asked in surprise.
"Of course." Gong Yu clenched Dai Ruyan's warm hand and said mischievously, "And the lanterns outside are very nice. Is it okay for Sister Dai to buy a few for Xiao Jiu?"
I heard that Dai Ruyan never went out to play, and even Gong Yu sent people to inquire about Dai Ruyan's sister many times, but he didn't get the slightest news. In the high fence, never stepped out of the gate of Dai's house.
