For a hasty but not simple palace banquet, Yufu prepared very carefully.
There are as many as five kinds of wine prepared for the banquet alone, many of which are rare and expensive, such as Liang Cheng Niang, which is known as a thousand gold.
Until the shadow of the sun slanted to the west, not many people came.
It's not that the royal clan of Beili didn't help Yu to save face, but that after the rebellion three years ago, the royal family of Beili was few and far between.
Gu Shubai went to the banquet with Yufu, there were only eleven or twelve visitors, among them were the sons of the royal family and the wives of the clan, counting there were only four or five males. He finally understood why Yufu would choose Ji Chengfa, a kid like Ji Chengfa, for such an important event as Dongling.
She really has no choice.
Seeing the few people at the table, Yu Fu felt sad in his heart, and had to cheer up to entertain the guests.
Halfway through the banquet, the host and guests had a good time, Yu Fu was a little hot because he drank two cups with everyone, so he went to the corridor outside the hall to lean on the railing to enjoy the breeze.
Not long after, a clan man in his thirties came out from the hall, Yufu recognized that it was Ji Chengfa's father.
"Uncle Tang."
King Chu quickly cupped his hands, "Don't dare, Your Highness is too polite. Today, His Highness hosted a banquet for hospitality, and we are all grateful, thank you Your Highness."
Yu Fu smiled, and said politely: "Everyone is from the same clan with the blood of Ji surnamed, Yu Fu hasn't returned for many years, so I should have a banquet to get to know you all, uncle, you don't have to be polite."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked over the railing, as if nothing had happened.
Duke Chu couldn't help but be amazed, Yufu was entertaining the royal clan at this time, didn't he come to ask for their support
"Your Highness, the minister is also at court today, and I have heard what you said. Could it be that Your Highness really intends to let the courtiers choose for themselves, even if they choose to be loyal to Tian Yunpo?"
Yu Fu then turned to look at him, "Since Uncle Tang heard what I said, why bother to ask? Don't Uncle Tang believe Yu Fu's words?"
King Chu hurriedly said: "I dare not. It's just that before I came to the East Palace today, I thought His Highness would say something to us. Unexpectedly, His Highness didn't say anything. Instead, I felt panic, thinking His Highness..."
She thought she was really young and naive, didn't know the value of imperial power, and wanted to hand it over to others.
Yu Fu smiled, "Uncle Tang thought that Yu Fu would persuade all the relatives to speak for Yu Fu among all civil and military officials, and win the hearts of the courtiers, right?"
She saw clearly and spoke clearly, King Chu smiled embarrassedly.
Yu Fu asked him back, "Could it be that if I don't say anything, your parents don't support Yu Fu and want to support others to usurp the throne and rebel?"
The words usurping the throne and rebelling were extremely serious, and Duke Chu was taken aback, "How come? As members of the royal family, the ministers are naturally the most supportive of His Highness's ascension to the throne!"
Yu Fu nodded in satisfaction, "It's good that Uncle Tang knows this truth, and Yu Fu doesn't need to waste his time talking. Earlier Tang Uncle asked whether it was true or not, so I will answer you, naturally it is false."
King Chu was taken aback, Yu Fu put his hands on the railing, raised his chin slightly, and a gust of wind slid along the beautiful curve of her face.
She took a breath of cool air from the wind and said calmly, "This is just a means to test the ministers. Whoever insists on supporting me at this time, who is vacillating at this time, and who has the desire to usurp the throne and rebel, Bengong knows it well. After all, Bengong has not been in the Beili court for many years, so he must find a way to recognize the courtiers at once, don't you think?"
The recognition she said is not just about names and experiences, nor is it just about things that outsiders can investigate if they want to. It is hidden in people's hearts, the most secret thoughts.
Beili has been without a king for three years. Who would believe that all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were loyal ministers and had no idea
The breeze lifted a strand of hair hanging behind her ear, Duke Chu stared blankly at her back, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
He knew what to do.
His attitude became more and more respectful, "Your Highness, should the minister continue to arrange the enthronement ceremony, or should I wait for Xue Bi to express his attitude before speaking?"
"It doesn't matter."
Yu Fu did not show the eagerness he imagined, as if everything she was doing at the moment was not a preparation for enthronement.
She said slowly: "Even if the enthronement ceremony is ready, we still don't know who will be enthroned on the first day of junior high school! Did my cousin say so?"
Duke Chu couldn't help but startled, Yu Fu smiled slyly, turned around and walked towards the palace.
He breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he realize that Yu Fu's words were just a joke, which shocked him quite a bit.
…
When it was dark, Yuehu and Tianshu came back from the palace together, Yufu had been waiting for them for a long time.
"Teacher Bao's body is fine, people always have those problems when they are old. I left him a prescription for him to take care of himself, and he will recover soon."
Yuehu sat on the opposite side of Yufu, disregarding any courtesy, and took the tea poured by Lianbi casually.
Yu Fu's close waiters are still those people brought from Guhou's mansion, it's a good thing that Yuehu and the others don't have to stick to etiquette when they meet in private.
Tianshu then sat down, "General Ouyang's injury problem is relatively serious. He had a three-year-old injury that hurt his lungs. He was stitched up when the condition was not good. Now he often suffers from shortness of breath. Unevenness is not a small matter for military personnel, let alone leading troops to fight in person in his current situation, even training troops in the army is a problem."
Yuehu snorted, and was a little curious about the injury, "What's the condition of the lung injury? Did it hurt the veins?"
Tianshu asked three questions, Yuehu gave him a blank look, "You have been going to see it for a long time, why don't you know anything? If you knew it earlier, you might as well let me go!"
Tianshu said helplessly: "Yeah, how can my medical skills compare to my senior sister's? Except for the master in Guzhong, the senior sister's medical skills are the best. If the senior sister can live to the age of the master, the medical skills must be even better than the master!"
Yuehu was praised very much, so she glanced at him triumphantly, "You can talk."
Yu Fu's back trembled, he didn't want these two people to chat and talk, but to express affection and secretly look at him in front of his face.
She is not an ignorant person, and she knew that she should avoid going out under the current situation, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay without asking about Ouyang Qi's injury.
"Ahem..."
Yufu covered her mouth and coughed dryly twice, and the two of them restrained themselves a little, Yuehu scolded her, "But I didn't even blush when I said a few flirting words, why are you blushing?"
Tianshu took a closer look, and Yufu's face was indeed a little red.
Yuehu had an expression of knowing everything, "Oh... I see, are you and Shizi still in a situation where you and Shizi are still in a state of being in love and not being polite?"
Yuehu is not a woman in the true sense. She usually has a free and easy temperament, and she is not at all shy as a daughter. When this kind of topic is mentioned, her nature is exposed immediately.
She moved closer to Yu Fu, "Hurry up and tell me, how far have you guys developed?"
Tianshu hurriedly pulled her arm and dragged her back to her original position, "Yu Fu hasn't reached Ji yet, why are you asking her this? My daughter will be shy!"
Moon Fox was taken aback.
"Do daughters have to be shy? Can't they be charming, charming and affectionate like me?"
She blinked at Tianshu, Tianshu was stunned for a moment, seeing a pair of eyes fixed on Yuehu's face again, wishing to fall into her winking eyes.
Yu Fu hurriedly stopped, "Senior sisters and senior brothers, can't you finish the business before you talk to me? Tonight is dark and windy, and it is a beautiful day. Let's finish talking quickly and you can go as you please, okay? good?"
She hurriedly turned to Tianshu, "Second Senior Brother, you just said what happened to General Ouyang's lung injury, and you can't see the pulse?"
Tianshu's face turned serious, "Yes, you have to open the chest to see the specific condition of the lungs. I don't think it's a serious problem. He has no other symptoms except shortness of breath, so the injury should not be deep."
Yu Fuxi said: "Then find a time to disembowel General Ouyang for treatment, what does Second Senior Brother think?"
Tianshu's face showed embarrassment, which made Yufu puzzled.
Then he said: "Actually, I have already talked to General Ouyang about this matter today. I told him that as long as a small resection of the lungs is performed, he can restore his previous body. General Ouyang just hesitated for a moment. His family members But he was relentless and would not let him be disemboweled no matter what."
Yu Fu nodded thoughtfully.
Yuehu raised her brows upside down, "My Immortal Valley's direct disciple kindly disemboweled him and healed his illness, how dare he refuse? Is this not taking Yufu, the crown prince, seriously, or my Immortal Valley?"
Yu Fu hurriedly said: "Elder Sister, don't be angry, I think I probably know why General Ouyang's family refused to allow it. For the people in Immortal Valley, disemboweling and treating them is a trivial matter, but it is a very terrifying thing for outsiders. Back then I rescued the general in the army. At that time, the soldiers thought that he would die, so they asked me to try to save him. It can be seen that they were still very reluctant when they saw that I opened the body with a knife. Even if the men in the army are like this, let alone the women in the house?"
Yuehu felt better after hearing this, but still reluctantly said: "Since he refuses, should we continue to treat? I can't bear to let Tianshu's hot face stick to his cold ass!"
Tianshu glanced at her, his mind was full of her reluctance, his heart was as sweet as eating honey.
As soon as Yu Fu saw his nymphomaniac look, he knew that we couldn't continue talking tonight, so he hurriedly said: "General Ouyang, I'll come and find a way, senior sister and second senior brother, I've worked hard for you today, you go back and rest quickly!"
As he said that, he hurriedly stood up, for fear of seeing some scenes that were not suitable for young girls.
She stepped out of the front hall and walked towards the sleeping hall, when the breeze blew from the corridor, her feverish face improved a little, and she remembered what Yuehu said.
It's about estrus, it's about ceremony.
Isn't that bad
But she looked at Yuehu and Tianshu, who obviously had no status, even Yuehu never agreed to be with Tianshu, and they were already too tired.
Yuehu often teases Tianshu in front of people, but in fact he loves him very much, Yufu can see this, and he doesn't know what kind of closer moves the two of them will make when she is not in front of her.
Thinking of Gu Shubai's words that she hadn't reached the age of Ji and the two of them hadn't married yet, she couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.
She shook her head, and drove out the messy thoughts in her mind, only to find that the fever on her face had not gone away, and it was also because of drinking too much wine at the daytime banquet.
"Yaolan, go back to the bedroom."
"yes."
Yao Lan heard that her voice was a little weak, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help her, "Is Your Highness sleepy? I drank alcohol during the day, so I should have rested early. Who knew that the senior sister and the second senior brother came back so late and made trouble again. After a while, it was delayed until this time."
Yu Fu shook his head, "Eldest Sister and Second Senior Brother both work hard because of me, they have a casual temperament, and when they see my blushing, they won't think it's because of drinking during the day."
Yao Lan nodded and said: "I know this, so naturally I don't dare to blame Eldest Sister and Second Senior Brother. This servant has already ordered people to make sober soup, Your Highness will drink a glass later before going to bed?"
"You're still careful."
Yu Fu glanced at her with a smile, Yao Lan said embarrassedly: "In terms of carefulness, I'm still not as good as Sister Lianbi and the others, but after studying with them for the past few years, I still have some progress!"
The two masters and servants chatted and laughed and went towards the bedroom, turned around the corner of the long corridor, the shadows of the trees in the courtyard rustled, which made her feel even more sleepy.
When she returned to the dormitory, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow. Yao Lan and the others fetched water to wash and change her clothes, but she didn't wake up.
Yao Lan came in with hangover soup, looked at Yu Fu who was sleepy, and brought it out again.
"Yaolan."
Seeing Gu Shubai walking towards him, and seeing Yao Lan's hand full of a bowl of hangover soup, he knew that Yu Fu hadn't drunk it, "Is she asleep?"
Yao Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Yeah, I was sleepy after hearing the news from Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother, and fell asleep before I had time to drink sober soup."
Gu Shubai said: "You order someone to prepare it and deliver it tomorrow morning, the worst headache is when you wake up the next day after being drunk."
Yao Lan nodded, Gu Shubai glanced at the bedroom, worried after all, "I'll go in and see her."
The maid guarding outside the hall was about to stop her, she subconsciously glanced at Yao Lan, Yao Lan waved her hand majestically, and led everyone out.
The relationship between Gu Shubai and Yufu no longer needs to avoid suspicion, anyway, they will get married soon, and Gu Shubai is here to take care of Yaolan.
The maids all know that Yaolan is Yufu's most trusted person, and they dare not disobey her, and she assuredly let Gu Shubai in, which means that Yufu is at ease.
Gu Shubai walked into the bedroom, and saw Yufu lying on the bed in plain white pajamas, the brocade quilt was wrapped into a ball and thrown aside.
When Yaolan and the others left, Yufu must have been covered with a quilt, maybe she felt that the weather was stuffy and subconsciously kicked the quilt in her sleep.
He glanced at the hall, and turned off two lights facing the direction of Yufu's bed, and the direction of the bed suddenly became dark.
Yu Fu's breathing also eased a lot.
When she sleeps, she doesn't like too many lights in the room, which is the same as Gu Shubai.
He walked to Yufu's bed, the hot weather made her subconsciously dislike being restrained, the collar of the plain white pajamas was half open, revealing the pink bellyband inside.
Even Gu Shubai could clearly see the embroidered pattern of the lotus leaf on the top.
He subconsciously recognized and opened his eyes, uncovered the brocade quilt wrapped around her inside the bed, and covered her up again.
The bed was very big, and he couldn't reach the brocade quilt on the inside when he stood by the bed, so he bent down and fell on Yufu.
Yu Fu opened his eyes half drunk and half awake, only to see Gu Shubai in front of his eyes, subconsciously stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his neck, his two hands were like a circle around him.
He paused, "Are you awake?"
Yu Fu muttered and didn't know what to say, he was half awake, but the strength in his hands was more domineering than usual, hooking him so that he couldn't move.
From his point of view, he was facing Yufu's half-open bellyband, and he didn't know where to put his eyes.
Seeing that he didn't move, Yu Fu wrapped himself around him subconsciously, with his legs crossed and wrapped around his waist, hanging on him like a koala.
Gu Shubai's face instantly flushed red.
It was as if a hot current suddenly exploded in his body and traveled along his limbs, leaving his mind blank for a short time.
He knew that even if he was fully awake, Yu Fu might not understand the meaning of this movement.
What's more, she was half drunk and half awake, and her words and deeds were completely instinctive.
He relaxed his strength all of a sudden, in order not to make Yufu turn over, he fell on the bed, and Yufu fell on top of him.
Still that pose.
He didn't dare to move, he was afraid that it would move his whole body, but Yu Fu seemed to feel that it was him under him instead of the brocade quilt, so he raised his head in a daze.
"Big brother… "
Gu Shubai watched her crawling up his legs like a kitten, all the way across his waist, chest, and neck.
In the end, she met his gaze, her blushing face was blurred.
"Yufu, you drank too much..."
Gu Shubai tried to put her back on the bed, but she hugged him tightly with her hands and feet, like a piece of candy sticking, it will be fixed wherever it sticks.
"I... I didn't drink much."
It's still her usual tone, every time someone says that she is still young, she will say that I am not young.
But... only this time it wasn't a bluff.
She lowered her head all of a sudden, pressed her lips against his lips, tasted it lightly, raised her head and smirked, "It's so sweet."
