The bustling scene on the long street in the imperial capital is fascinating.
Standing at one end of the long street and looking at the other end, the endless lanterns merge into an ocean, with colorful lights and shadows.
Yu Fu and Gu Shubai walked in front side by side, Gu Xiang and Gu Yi followed, and Yan Zheng and a few soldiers followed at the end.
Of course, it was a soldier in civilian clothes, otherwise he would be so eye-catching on the long street with people coming and going tonight.
Gu Yichao looked behind him, and leaned into Gu Xiang's ear, "Look at them, what's the use of wearing casual clothes? You can tell they are military men, their bodies are as straight as a board."
Gu Xiang glanced behind him quietly, and couldn't help laughing: "Really, Yan Zheng is so careful, as if we are surrounded by assassins."
What a joke, with Gu Shubai personally sitting in the town, he and Gu Yi assisting, can't they protect a Yufu
If Huo Shanjin hadn't said a word, they wouldn't bring Yan Zheng out!
"Brother, look, there are a lot of people."
Sometimes when pedestrians get too close, Gu Shubai will turn sideways, wrap his arms around Yufu, and block passersby for her.
When the two got closer, his chin just reached the top of her head, and when Yu Fu raised her head, she could clearly see the concern in his eyes.
The eyes are as bright as stars, and the eyes are gentle, as if no one is in his eyes except her.
Yufu's face was reddish, and his heart was like a deer in the morning, jumping briskly.
Gu Yi spread his hands and feet, letting pedestrians bump into him as if giving up on himself, "Gu Xiang, I suddenly miss a man. If she is here, I can also protect her."
Gu Xiangbai glanced at him, "What? You are all in pairs, bullying me alone?"
With a bang, suddenly a figure behind him rushed forward and stood in front of Yufu.
"Leave a way, hey, what about you, you go to the side!"
Yan Zheng was tall and tall, with the aura of a military man, standing in front of Yufu with a fierce look, and anyone who saw him would detour.
Gu Shubai didn't need to use his body to support Yu, but was rather displeased.
He shouldn't have listened to Huo Shanjin today and brought this idiot out...
Yan Zheng turned his head, Chao Yufu showed his white teeth, "Don't worry, Miss, I'm here to block, no one else can hit Miss!"
That day he tried his best not to let himself pass out, and hurried all the way back to the Hou Mansion without stopping, the first person he saw was Yu Fu.
When he woke up again, he was lying in the side room in the west wing, and a young maid was feeding him medicine.
Only then did he know that it was Yu Fu who saved him, detoxified him from the poison, and left the antidote for Yao Lan to feed him every day, so as to clear away the remaining poison.
He can't repay this life-saving kindness, and finally has the opportunity to protect Yufu, so he must perform well!
"Oh, thank you."
Yu Fu stood helplessly behind him, looking at Gu Shubai's eyes that wished to stare at Yan Zheng, he burst out laughing.
"Hey, isn't that Shubai them?"
In a three-story building along the street, the Second Prince stood by the vermilion fence and looked down at the crowd.
During the Shangyuan Festival, not only the people of the imperial capital like to go out to watch the lanterns tonight, but also many princes and female relatives of official and noble families will also go out to play together.
He ordered someone to reserve the third floor of this restaurant early on, just to avoid being crowded with the crowd and enjoy the night view to his heart's content.
"where?"
Princess Danyang came up from behind and looked along where the second prince pointed, and she saw Gu Shubai in the crowd.
Tall and tall, with a clear bearing, he is as handsome as a blue cloud in the mountains, and as elegant as a jade bamboo.
No matter where she goes, she can see him at a glance.
"Gu Xiang and Gu Yi are also here, hey, the woman beside him is... Yu Fu?"
Princess Danyang couldn't believe it, she leaned on the railing and looked down, frowning slightly, "Second brother, is that Yufu? How did she become so beautiful? It seems like she grew up overnight?"
The second prince looked at Yu Fu, narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long while, he said: "She is very beautiful. She used to be young and inconspicuous, but have you ever seen a girl of the same age who was born better than her? Girls of this age grow up fast, let alone caring about themselves." You haven't seen her for three months since Lord Hou's birthday, so it's naturally changed a lot."
Princess Danyang snorted softly, turned her head and ignored him.
He clearly knows which pot is not opened and which pot is not opened, and he knows that Gu Shubai and Yufu's engagement on Gu Huaijiang's birthday is a scar in his heart, and he still wants to expose it!
The second prince also seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, so he quickly came to make up for it, "My good sister, I said something wrong, so why don't you spare the second brother? I know you still think about Gu Shubai in your heart, and the second brother took them away. Please come up, as an apology for you, okay?"
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand behind him, and asked his personal guards to invite Gu Shubai and the others.
When Princess Danyang turned her head, the man had already disappeared.
She said anxiously: "Who still thinks about him? He doesn't marry me, so what do I think about him? Others know that I liked him before, how embarrassing it is for you to invite him here?"
The second prince scoffed slightly, "Who said he won't marry you? Although Lord Gu made it clear that he wanted him to marry Yufu, I heard that Immortal Valley didn't agree. They didn't exchange tokens either, and the ceremony of engagement has not yet been completed. Who dares to say that he will definitely marry Yufu?"
Princess Danyang remained silent, recalling the situation on the day of Gu Huaijiang's birthday banquet, it seemed to be true.
Her complexion softened a little, but she finally couldn't help showing a smile, "Well, if this is the case, then it's okay to meet. If the emperor wants to make the second brother the crown prince, we can't alienate Gu Houfu."
The second prince showed a clear smile in his eyes.
His own fellow sister, he knew better than anyone.
She said that Gu Shubai was engaged to kiss him and didn't want to see him, but in fact she still liked him in her heart, and she would never let go of the slightest possibility of marrying him.
Girl, there is always a love word that cannot be escaped.
There are many young couples coming and going, and most of the women are holding lanterns given by their lovers, with sweet smiles on their faces.
When passing by a stall selling lanterns, Gu Shubai asked, "Yufu, I'll buy you a small one, can you hold it in your hand and play with it?"
Yu Fu followed his gaze and saw that there were so many beautiful lanterns on the stall, they were all hung on a long bamboo frame.
She stood under the bamboo frame and looked up, pointing her finger on her chin, "I can only buy one, but these are so beautiful..."
The lanterns sold by vendors on the street are all made by hand, which is different from the ones hung in the Hou Mansion.
Although the lanterns in the mansion are exquisitely crafted, they are made by the government, and the patterns are limited, and they all symbolize wealth and auspiciousness.
The ones on the stalls are not so exquisite, but the variety of shapes is better than that of Yufu.
Gu Shubai stood behind her, waiting for her to choose slowly, "Can you get more?"
Yu Fu thinks about it too, if she carries two lanterns, she won't have free hands, but Gu Shubai and the others have free hands, it's not easy to let a group of old men take this little girl's thing for her.
"Then I want that puppy lantern!"
She pointed to a naive white puppy lamp, and Gu Shubai knew why she chose this one at a glance.
Isn't this exactly the same as Fat Nine she raised
The vendor was an old man with a kind face, and brought the puppy lamp she had chosen.
"Thank you for your compliment, miss. The old man made these lanterns himself. If you like it, miss, you can take it. You won't be charged."
Yu Fu took the puppy lamp, and waved his hands hurriedly when he heard this, "No, no, I need money."
The old man said with a smile: "It is my honor to have a lady holding my lamp. Besides, if others see such a beautiful lady holding my lamp, they will definitely rush to buy it."
Yu Fu was afraid that the old man would not want her money, so he fumbled for the purse at his waist, only found a few precious stones, but no silver or copper coins.
For a person who has never been out of the house, where did he get the money
Yan Zheng was about to rush up to give the money, but Gu Xiang grabbed the corner of his clothes and couldn't take it off, "Don't go up and make trouble, do you still want the young lady?"
Is there any relationship between giving money and wanting to have a young lady
Yu Fu didn't find the money, so he turned his head in embarrassment, and tugged at the corner of Gu Shubai's clothes.
"Big brother, do you have any money?"
It was Gu Shubai who said he wanted to buy her a lantern, but seeing that Yufu couldn't find the money, he kept silent, just to see if Yufu would ask him for help.
Fortunately, Yu Fu was looking for him, not Gu Xiang and the others or Yan Zheng.
This satisfied him greatly.
"Bring it."
He smiled and stretched out his hand towards the old man, a hard object rolled along the old man's cuff and into his clothes.
Gu Shubai nodded to him, "There are many people outside tonight, the old man should go back and see. It's cold in winter, go back early to rest."
The old man didn't know why, after Gu Shubai and his party left, he finally couldn't restrain his curiosity, and shook the hard thing out of his cuff to take a look—
Gosh, a gold ingot the size of an egg!
