This night, Gu Shubai did not leave the palace.
The two had dinner in the Hall of Eternal Life, then went to the former empress' bedroom to pay respects, and finally took a stroll in the palace garden together watching the lanterns.
"Fortunately, you didn't come back too late. The lanterns hanging on the Lantern Festival in the palace haven't been taken off yet. Although it's not Shangyuan tonight, if there are lanterns and you, it's barely counted."
Yu Fu was in high spirits, and when he was walking under the lamp, his footsteps were light and brisk, and countless light and agile shadows were cast by the lights in all directions, still looking innocent and innocent.
Gu Shubai followed behind her, "Walk slowly and fall carefully."
As he said that, he looked at the lanterns hanging on both sides of the palace road, flew up and took off one, and after removing the tassels, he brought it to Yufu.
Yu Fu was taken aback, Gu Shubai smiled and said: "Every year during the Lantern Festival we enjoy lanterns together, you always like to carry a lantern in your hand, don't you like it now?"
"like."
Yufu took the lantern and looked at it, the palace lantern was small and red, not as many shapes as they used to admire the lanterns outside the palace, but Yufu was still happy.
"I didn't come out to appreciate the lanterns during the Shangyuan Festival this year. If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. I used to like to run around the streets with lanterns. Now I can only sit on the golden palace, thinking about laughing or angry, worrying about the ministers. Let's discuss."
Gu Shubai raised his eyebrows, "It's pitiful to say that. If so, I'd better leave the palace as soon as possible, so as not to damage His Majesty's reputation."
After saying that, she lifted her foot and left, but she grabbed the hem of her clothes.
"I'm afraid of people talking about other things, but I don't need to be afraid of this matter. Beili's folk customs are open, and your wedding is coming, so why avoid suspicion?"
As she said this, her previous unrestrained temperament came up again, "Besides, this is not the first time, why are you pretending to be serious?"
After that, he tiptoed to pick his chin, and with a look of successful prank, he smiled and ran away with a lantern.
Gu Shubai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he thought that this girl became bolder as she got older, she didn't blush when she said such a thing, but it made him a little embarrassed.
Yu Fu stood in the distance and shouted at him, "Don't worry, I didn't drink this time, and I will never mess around again!"
Gu Shubai hurriedly ran towards her, "Keep your voice down, I want everyone in the palace to know that you not only drink poorly, but also like to lose morals after drinking?"
Yu Fu's laughter spread like silver bells, and the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army guarding far away under the palace wall couldn't help laughing when they heard the sound.
There hasn't been such a good laugh in the palace for a long time. Sure enough, His Majesty will be truly happy when General Gu returns.
Gu Hanmo passed by, he couldn't help standing with his hands behind his back, and stopped.
"General, you haven't returned at this late hour?"
When the soldiers saw him saluting one after another, Gu Hanmo hissed, "Keep your voice down, don't disturb your majesty and elder brother's pleasure, it's time for them to reunite after a long absence."
He wasn't supposed to be on duty tonight, seeing that Gu Shubai hadn't returned for a long time, he simply went into the palace to have a look, and happened to hear their laughter watching the lanterns in the imperial garden.
What is the difference between this laughter and that in Guhou Mansion many years ago
Gu Shubai had been away for a few months, and his heart had been suspended for several months, worrying that the relationship between the two of them would change, and now this long-suspended heart can finally be let go.
He couldn't help pursing his lips into a smile, turned his head and walked out of the palace.
Until midnight, when Yu Fu and Gu Shubai went back to the Palace of Longevity hand in hand, the people in the palace did not dare to rest and waited for them to come back.
Seeing that they finally came back, Yao Lan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the hot water for washing is ready, do you need servants to serve you?"
Yu Fu smiled, "You all go down and rest, there is no need to serve here."
Yao Lan tactfully waved her hands and ordered everyone to retreat, she was also happy to go down and rest, Yu Fu was tired after walking around for so long, she just wanted to wash her face before going to bed.
She twisted the facekerchief herself, and was about to cover her face, after thinking about it, she handed it to Gu Shubai. Only then did I see that Gu Shubai had also twisted a facekerchief and handed it to her, and the hands of the two of them stopped in mid-air for a moment.
Yu Fu chuckled, and took the veil he twisted with the other hand, and Gu Shubai also took her twisted veil.
His hands were strong enough, the veil was wrung dry, and a cloud of hot air covered his face, and he felt that the pores all over his body were stretched.
But she never did it herself, the veil was still wet after being twisted, Gu Shubai wiped her face on the spot, leaving a few drops of water on her face.
Seeing that the road is not good, Yu Fu patted his face to cover up, trying to pat the water droplets dry, "I'm sleepy, sleep!"
After finishing speaking, he ran to the bed with his shoes on, and tucked himself into the brocade quilt. After a while, he felt a warm body leaning towards him.
The last time they shared the same bed was when Yufu drank too much and became unconscious, but today the two of them are awake, their eyes facing each other are somewhat reserved.
Many images flashed through Yufu's mind, all from the last time she was drunk, such as crushing him, kissing him, and touching him...
Her face was flushed, Gu Shubai suddenly reached out and tapped her forehead lightly, "What are you thinking, your face is so red?"
When he said this, Yu Fu's face turned even redder.
What else can I think
Naturally coveted his beauty.
Gu Shubai smiled like a roundworm in her stomach, "I turned off the light, lest you covet my beauty and become uncontrollable."
After finishing speaking, he pointed at the hall, and the surroundings instantly became dark, and he extinguished the candle with his internal strength.
Yu Fu was a little displeased, "I covet your beauty and I can't control myself, but you can. Are you saying that my determination is not as good as yours, or that my beauty is not as good as yours?"
In the darkness, only the faint moonlight from outside the palace shone on his handsome eyes like stars.
Her voice was charming like a girl's, and it was right next to his ears. It was what he thought about day and night when he was far away on the battlefield, but tonight she was so close at hand.
He didn't know how long he could restrain himself, but she asked him about concentration.
"I said, today I am happy and always want to do something out of line, but you still want to test my concentration, how should I punish you?"
Before Yu Fu could speak, the next second, his lips kissed her.
…
Early the next morning, Gu Shubai left the Palace of Longevity, and met Tian Yunpo outside the palace gate.
He came very early.
"Master Tian."
Gu Shubai took the initiative to bow his hands and said with a smile: "The grand master came so early, there is still a long time before the morning court."
When Tian Yunpo saw him coming out of the palace, his complexion was a little strange, he said: "I still have to see Your Majesty before the court, and it has become a routine to sort out the important matters to be discussed at the court today. The general has not been in the court for a long time , It’s only natural that you don’t know.”
Gu Shubai just smiled, Tian Yunpo didn't grasp it after all, and asked him, "Why did the general come out of the palace at this hour, could it be..."
"I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time, and I didn't leave the palace last night."
He said it lightly, Tian Yunpo opened his eyes wide unconsciously, thoughts flashed in his mind.
Gu Shubai knew what he was thinking, but deliberately didn't say anything, just said: "Since the grand master still has something to see His Majesty, I won't bother you, let me take my leave."
After finishing speaking, he strode away, Tian Yunpo hurriedly called out, "Wait a minute, General."
Gu Shubai turned around slowly, with a clear smile, as if he knew that he was going to stop him, "What's the matter with the Grand Master?"
Tian Yun paused for a moment, usually he was so eloquent that he could speak black and white, and he just opened his mouth to sneer and swear without thinking about it.
But when talking to Gu Shubai today, he couldn't help searching his stomach, and didn't know how to speak for a while.
Gu Shubai stood quietly waiting for him, Tian Yunpo turned his eyes on him, and saw that he was wearing a homely azure robe, but he was wearing a purple gold and white jade crown on his head.
He was surprised, "This... Your Majesty gave it to you?"
Gu Shubai thought for a while, he was referring to the jade crown on his head, "Yes, what's the problem?"
Originally there were many problems.
Originally, he wanted to ask Gu Shubai whether it was legal to stay overnight in the palace, whether unmarried couples sharing the bed together was in line with his gentlemanly demeanor, whether it was too immodest to be so flamboyant just after winning the victory and returning to Beili...
Now he couldn't ask any questions.
"It's okay, there's no problem, I'll go first."
Tian Yunpo was like a defeated fighting cock, with his head downcast, this was the first time Gu Shubai saw him like this.
What's wrong with this jade crown
"Teacher wait a minute."
This time it was Gu Shubai who called him to stop, Tian Yunpo turned around slowly, and saw Gu Shubai smiling and said: "I am not in Beijing these days, thank you grand master for taking care of Yufu. I heard that she is still brave when she is sick Running to the imperial study, it was the grand master who found out and sent her back in time. I should formally thank the grand master, please accept my respect."
As he spoke, he bowed to him upright, with a humble and polite gesture.
Tian Yunpo's expression suddenly became ugly, and he wished he could jump up to avoid his bow.
But he knew that he couldn't avoid it.
