"The East Palace is so beautiful."
Yin Jixie followed the crowd into the East Palace, and couldn't help but marvel.
Beili's palace is more magnificent than Dongling's, with a majestic atmosphere, full of awe-inspiring and heavy sense of history.
Yu Fu turned back and said, "Beili Palace has a history of 240 years, and it was also the palace of the ancestor Da Zhou. Da Zhou was a unified dynasty, so it has the financial and material resources to build such a luxurious palace."
Yin Jizheng nodded, "I vaguely read in the book that the Great Zhou Dynasty divided the mainland of Kyushu into three kingdoms. Among them, the capitals of Dongling and Xikun were chosen separately, and the imperial palace was also built later, which is not as gorgeous as the Great Zhou Imperial Palace. "
Yu Fu nodded slightly, "Beili inherited the capital of the previous Great Zhou Dynasty. As a child of the royal family, this is my luck."
The palace servants went forward and led everyone to their respective palaces to resettle. Yufu walked towards the main hall alone, only Yaolan, Lianzhu and others followed.
Along the stone path, bypassing a white jade screen wall, in front of the majestic and tall main hall, the palace people kneeled all over the ground in unison, waiting for Yufu to enter the East Palace.
She walked forward slowly, her eyes fell on the bricks and stones here, she stretched out her hands to caress the doors and windows here, her eyes were full of indescribable feelings.
Yao Lan stepped forward and said softly: "Your Highness, you have come all the way, and you should settle in the hall first?"
Yu Fu nodded slightly, and said to everyone with a flick of his sleeves: "You all get up, the East Palace is very clean, thanks."
Lianzhu and Lianbi took out gold and silver lockets from their sleeves knowingly to reward everyone, Yaolan followed Yufu to the sleeping hall, all the exquisite things in the hall are more beautiful than the outside.
While they were packing their bags, Yu Fu leaned on the couch with his eyes closed, thinking about what happened since he just entered the palace.
She has never forgotten the mission of Prince Beili on her body. Beili Chaozhong has been paying attention to her movements for many years, and she is also paying attention to Chaozhong.
She is especially aware of the situation of important officials like Bao Taifu. If a lord doesn't even understand his own officials, how can he talk about holding power
The only thing that surprised her was Tian Yunpo.
She thought that Tian Yunpo would be a Yin Shuo-style character, talented and resourceful, on the surface he pretended to help Beili Chaotang, but in fact he bought people's hearts for himself.
If so, he would have pretended to be submissive the first time he saw him, trying to deceive himself.
But he didn't, not only didn't pretend to be obedient, but he said impudent and rude words in front of the ministers of the court, so that Yufu could really catch him.
Did she misunderstand Tian Yunpo, or was he hiding something deeper
The matter was of great importance, Yufu didn't dare to judge lightly for a while, thinking about how to take the next road.
Suddenly heard Yaolan's footsteps approaching, she stood beside the couch and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent Bingshan here, do you want them to send it in?"
When the weather was hot and muggy, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was very thoughtful, Yu Fu opened his eyes, "How are things going with Big Brother and the others?"
Yao Lan smiled and said: "They are all placed in the courtyards at the back of the East Palace, not far from His Highness's bedroom. When the young masters were in the mansion, they liked to live alone, but now there are some married people, so they also arranged for one person. The first hall. Only the fifth and sixth sons are used to living together, and they insist on living with the fourth son. There is also the second senior brother who insists on living with the elder sister. The elder sister has no objection, but... "
"Just what?"
Yao Lan chuckled, "It's just that the palace people didn't know that the elder sister was a man, and they thought that the Immortal Valley was more open than Beili, and that unmarried men and women could live together in the same hall! When the slaves came back, they heard the palace people talking about it, and almost died laughing."
Yu Fu also couldn't help laughing and said: "Let them go, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs deliver the ice to them, I don't need it here."
"Yes, servant girl is going now."
Yao Lan was about to retreat, Yu Fu suddenly said: "Where is that Tian Yunpo now?"
Yao Lan said: "It's locked in the guardhouse, just now people from the Imperial Forest Army came to report and asked His Highness when they want to see him."
Yu Fu looked at the sky outside, and slowly said: "No hurry, settle down first, we'll talk about it after dinner."
…
The dinner was set in the main hall of the East Palace, no courtiers were invited to accompany, only Yufu, everyone in Guhou's mansion, Yuehu and Tianshu had a peaceful meal.
The banquet was filled with Beili's local specialties. It seemed that in order to cater for the tastes of everyone in the Guhou Mansion, some Dongling's dishes were prepared, which can be considered very delicate.
Everyone traveled all the way and finally arrived at Beili, and it still felt unreal to be in the East Palace.
It wasn't until the dinner was over that I gradually felt more at ease.
After the meal, the palace servants came in one file after another, removed the dishes in an orderly manner, and brought tea for mouthwash, and handkerchiefs for rinsing.
Then quietly retreated, except for Yaolan and the others who were waiting in the palace, all the unfamiliar palace people retreated, and the fragrant tea on the table gave off a faint white smell.
This side is drinking tea.
Yu Fu picked up the teacup and said: "These days I can only wrong you to live in the palace, but fortunately there are many vacant palaces in the East Palace. If you live outside the palace, I always feel a little uneasy."
Everyone naturally understood what she meant by being unreliable.
Her name is Prince Bei Li, and she is actually a newcomer with unstable power in her hands, so she may not be able to guarantee the protection of foreign people like them.
Gu Shubai smiled and said: "The East Palace is luxurious, so staying for a period of time is not a grievance. We are even more worried about leaving you alone in the palace."
Everyone nodded their heads in succession.
Gu Jiuge said: "The whole family has someone to take care of them in one place, and it won't be too late for us to move out of the palace after the situation in the court stabilizes."
Yu Fu looked at the crowd, Gu Shubai was experienced in war, and Gu Jiuge was also mature and stable.
Yin Jigui is a virtuous housemate, Gu Wenqing is more proficient at managing accounts and has a talent for doing business, and Gu Xiang has become much more mature than before in the past two years.
Yuehu and Tianshu are the senior brothers and sisters she has relied on since childhood, let alone needless to say.
She wrinkled her face and said, "Fortunately, the general insisted that you come with me, otherwise I am here alone now, and I really don't know what to do."
Possessing her small mouth, she seemed to be acting coquettishly like a young girl at home.
Yin Jiyu couldn't help pinching her face immediately, "You act like a baby in front of your brother and sister-in-law, how majestic are you in the courtroom today? I'm dumbfounded. Fortunately, there are not many young men in the courtroom in Beili, otherwise it would be too late." Aren't everyone in a hurry to recommend themselves as pillow seats?"
Gu Jiuge looked at her adoring face, and couldn't help saying: "Ji Yao, you have learned badly too, is this how the self-recommended pillow is used?"
She is a talented woman who has read books and written poems, so she naturally doesn't know the chill of this idiom, and she lowered her head in embarrassment when she heard Gu Jiuge say this.
Gu Shubai said indifferently: "Ji Kui is right, before Yu Fu came back, there are already people who are eager to recommend themselves as pillows."
"who is it?"
Everyone stayed in the Golden Palace for a long time today, the youngest of Beili's courtiers was in his thirties, and they didn't see any young people.
No, there is a—
Gu Xiang grinned and said in disbelief, "It couldn't be that Tian Yunpo, right? He recommended himself to Yu Fu?"
Gu Shubai smiled and said nothing, which was the default meaning, and everyone couldn't help being surprised.
"Brother, is what you said true? I think that Tian Yunpo is very arrogant, he looks like a villain gaining power. He is so rude to Yufu, how could he recommend himself as a pillow?"
Yin Jixie quickly thought: "Could it be that he wants to marry Yufu, change his name and take control of Beili?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked slightly angry.
Yuehu raised her eyebrows, "What does he think of our Xiaoyufu? He thinks he can marry if he wants to? He doesn't even look in the mirror. What advantage does he have besides being handsome? His martial arts are rotten."
Tianshu looked at him helplessly, with an expression of "Are you praising him or scolding him".
Yuehu hurriedly concealed: "Of course, such a small advantage is far behind Shizi, not even you!"
Although Yuehu put him behind Gu Shubai, Tianshu was still very satisfied, and a smile appeared on his stern face.
"He clearly knew that Yu Fu had a marriage contract with Big Brother, yet he came up with such a detrimental move!"
Gu Wenqing couldn't help but hammered the table, and suddenly realized that Tian Yunpo was taken down by Yu Fu's men during the day, and he hasn't heard the news until now, "By the way, Yu Fu, what are you going to do with that Tian Yunpo?"
Yao Lan stepped forward and said: "Almost forgot, His Highness said in the daytime that he will deal with that Tian Yunpo after dinner, when will he go?"
Yu Fu picked up the teacup and took a sip, "What's the rush? I haven't forgotten."
She just didn't want to go to see Tian Yunpo too early, let him dry out his spirit for a while, and the conversation would be much easier after a while.
She looked out the window, tonight is the last quarter moon, with an arc like a hook.
Gu Shubai said: "Tian Yunpo knows martial arts, it's better for me to accompany you later."
Yu Fu nodded, "Although the moonlight is not clear tonight, it has a unique poetic charm, why don't you all go and enjoy it?"
"OK!"
Tianshu was the first to agree, and looked at Yuehu with a nympho, who couldn't stand it.
Yin Jixie took a look at Gu Jiuge, the two had been on their way since they got married, and hadn't had time to enjoy the sweetness of marriage, so they were naturally happy to spend time alone.
Gu Xiang looked at Yufu and his wife for a while, at Gu Jiuge and his wife for a while, and finally at Tianshu and the others, with a dazed look on his face.
"Even the second senior brother has a senior sister, fourth brother, I only have you!"
He hugged Gu Xiang aggrievedly. Gu Xiang couldn't stand being hugged so tightly by a man, so he hurriedly broke off his hand, "Okay, okay, a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands, I will accompany you to watch the moon."
Yu Fu covered his mouth with a chuckle, and everyone walked out separately.
Gu Shubai followed Yufu all the way forward, and the palace people he met on the road saw that he was the only two, and Yufu refused to go forward to lead the way.
"I am familiar with every building in the palace, every path, every corridor."
She brushed her hand on the railing by the river, "I have seen countless pictures here, heard countless descriptions here, and returned here countless times in my dreams. But touching every brick and tile here with my own hands is still a headache. Once, I don't know if the father and the queen have touched like this?"
This is the home where she was born, the place she wanted to come back countless times, but she just came back now due to various reasons, but there are no relatives at home.
If there is no warmth, what is so rare about a magnificent palace? But empty city.
Standing behind him, Gu Shubai lifted her up suddenly, Yufu let out a soft cry in fright.
It turned out that he put her on the railing and sat on top of it, with the gurgling water under her feet, it was cold and deep, and Gu Shubai stood behind her to protect her.
Yu Fu chuckled and swayed reassuringly on the top, her two calves raised up one side and the other side for a while.
All the little girls like to play like this, and Yufu also liked to play when she was a child, but she hasn't played for many years.
She couldn't help laughing, and looked back at Gu Shubai, "I'm not a child anymore, don't coax me like this. Even if I'm sitting on the railing, you don't have to stand behind me to protect me."
She supported the railing with her hands, she was not strong, but she worked hard, "Look, I can hold it by myself."
"Even if you can support yourself, those who care and love you will still want to protect you behind you. Because they love you, even if you don't need it, even if you can't see it."
Gu Shubai raised his head slightly, "Here, look at the moon in the sky. It shines brightly on all people, even if there are ups and downs, love will never truly disappear."
Just like her father and mother, even if they are gone for many years, their love for her will not disappear.
Yu Fu leaned her head back against him, and when she raised her head, she could see the sharp and sharp curve of his jaw, and the lip line looked unbelievably beautiful under the dim light.
He doesn't need light, he is the most shining one in the vast galaxy.
She looked up at him like this, and Gu Shubai smiled and looked down at her. After a while, she saw his Adam's apple rolling.
Then he slowly leaned over, and put his hands gently behind Yufu, his face was getting closer and closer to her.
Yu Fu had never felt this way before, she seemed to vaguely know what he was going to do, but she was not sure what he was going to do, so she closed her eyes in a panic.
His gaze landed on Yu Fu's lips, they were extremely beautiful lips, red as a spring hibiscus without any spots.
You can imagine how soft and warm it is without touching it.
He wanted to give it a try, but finally changed his mind and placed a kiss on her smooth forehead.
Yu Fu slowly opened his eyes, and subconsciously touched the place on his forehead that he had kissed, his heart was as sweet as a flower bud, and he was vaguely looking forward to the complete blooming.
Gu Shubai turned her around from the railing, facing himself, and bent down to look at her.
"Not yet, you haven't grown up yet."
Yu Fu was discouraged immediately, "Who said that? I've grown up. I've reached the height of your shoulders, haven't I grown up yet?"
She will soon reach Jiji, only four or five months away.
Gu Shubai laughed lightly, the laughter was mixed with the gurgling water under his feet, it was unclear whether it was the sound of the water or his laughter.
Clear and soft.
He scratched her nose pamperingly, "You are my little girl before you marry me, I can't bear it."
Even if she is willing, even if she just tastes it, he feels that it is a kind of blasphemy to Yufu.
Yu Fu felt as if countless cat paws were scratching in her heart, she wanted to look at him for a moment, but also wanted to avoid his gaze. I really want to hug him, but I am too embarrassed to reach out to him.
She couldn't help but look pale, and quickly jumped off the railing, "I'll go see Tian Yunpo by myself, big brother, you go back first!"
Before Gu Shubai had time to stop her, she already ran away along the small river familiarly, and disappeared into the night.
He couldn't help stroking the corner of his lips, where the sweetness of Yufu's skin seemed to linger, it was the first lotus seed freshly peeled in summer, with a refreshing herbal scent in the sweetness.
He unconsciously froze there, reminiscing about the kiss just now, still wanting more.
The passing maids saw the tall and tall man by the river, they couldn't help but take a second look, and seeing the smile on his face, they couldn't help bowing their heads and blushing.
If such a handsome man smiled at them like that, they might not be able to walk at that time. The woman who can make him smile like this is really lucky.
"Hey, is that His Highness's fiancé, the eldest son of Dongling's Gu family?"
"Yeah, it's so beautiful, it's like heaven and earth."
The palace maid couldn't help talking, and she slowed down as much as possible, just to get a second look at him, and finally walked around the corner reluctantly.
Yu Fu walked all the way to the guardhouse in his memory, and when he reached the place where the harem and the front court were handed over, he saw a brightly lit classroom.
It is the place where the guards in the palace are handed over. Many master guards of the royal family are trained there, and it is considered an important place in the palace.
Yu Fu didn't bring anyone with her, and walked towards that place alone, the guards with sharp eyes and ears had already discovered her existence.
"who?!"
Yu Fu slowly came out from the shadows, the guards thought it was an ordinary court lady, but after a closer look, they found that it was Yu Fu, and hurriedly bowed to salute.
"See Your Highness!"
"Free gift."
Yu Fu casually glanced at the classroom behind them, "Where's Tian Yun Po?"
A guard stepped forward and said: "Go back to Your Highness, Lord Tian is inside, and this subordinate will lead His Highness inside."
Yu Fu sneered in his heart, Tian Yunpo didn't have a court position, at best he was the son of an old grand master, but everyone in Bei Li's court called him an adult.
She always has a way to correct this trend.
The corners of Yu Fu's mouth curled up slightly, "No need, Bengong walked by for a walk and asked casually, now I'm tired and want to go back to rest earlier."
After saying that, he turned his head and left. The guards looked at each other and had to bow, "Respectfully send your Highness off!"
