The prosperous scene of the long street in the imperial capital is yearning.
Standing on one end of the long street and looking towards the other, the endless lanterns merged into an ocean, full of light and shadow.
Yufu and Gu Shubai walked ahead side by side, Gu Xiang and Gu Yi were behind, and finally followed Yan Zheng and a few soldiers.
Of course, it is a soldier in civilian clothes, otherwise it would not be so eye-catching on the long street with people coming and going tonight.
Gu Yi looked behind him, and leaned to Gu Xiang's ear, "Look at them, what's the point of wearing casual clothes? You can see that they are military men, and their body is as straight as a board."
Gu Xiang quietly glanced behind him, and couldn't help but smile: "Really, you look at Yan Zheng's careful look, as if we are all around us assassins."
A joke, Gu Shubai personally sits in town, he and Gu Yi assist, can't he protect a Yufu
If Huo Shanjin hadn't talked too much, they would not bring Yan Zheng out!
"Big brother, look, there are many people."
Sometimes the pedestrians got too close, and Gu Shubai turned sideways, wrapped his arms around Yufu, to block passers-by for her.
When the two got closer, his chin just hit her head, and Yufu raised his head a little bit, and he could clearly see the concern in his eyes.
The bright and star-like eyes, softly pouring out from the bottom of the eyes, as if no one was in his eyes except her.
Yufu's complexion was reddish, and his heart was like a small deer in the morning, jumping briskly.
Gu Yi spread his arms and legs, and let the pedestrians run into him as if arrogant, "Gu Xiang, I suddenly missed 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 sound, a figure suddenly rushed forward and stood in front of Yufu.
"Let's give it a hand, hey, say you, you go and get on the side!"
Yan Zheng is tall and tall, with the aura of a military and military man, standing in front of Yufu with a fierce spirit, and everyone will detour when he sees it.
Gu Shubai didn't need to use his body to support Yu, but he was a little unhappy.
He shouldn't have listened to Huo Shanjin today, and brought out this second stupor...
Yan Zheng turned around and bared his white teeth towards Yufu, "Don't worry, Miss, I'm blocking here, no one else can hit Miss!"
On that day, he resisted and didn't let himself pass out.
When he woke up again, he was lying in the side room of the West Wing, and a young maid was feeding him medicine.
Only then did he know that Yu helped him, relieved him of the poison, and left the antidote for Yaolan to feed him daily in order to clear the remaining poison.
He couldn't reciprocate this life-saving kindness, and finally had the opportunity to protect Yufu. He must perform well!
"Oh, thank you."
Yufu stood helplessly behind him, then looked at Gu Shubai, wishing to stare through Yan Zheng's eyes, and let out a chuckle.
"Hey, isn't that just telling them?"
In the three-story high-rise building along the street, the second prince stood by the Zhulan, looking down at the crowd.
During the Shangyuan Festival, not only the people in the imperial capital like to go out to watch the lights tonight, but also many princes and family members of the nobles and officials will also go out together for fun.
He ordered someone to take down the third floor of this restaurant early, just to avoid being crowded with the crowd, and to enjoy the night view.
"where?"
Princess Danyang came up from behind, followed the second prince's finger, and she saw Gu Shubai in the crowd.
The body is long and standing jade, with a clear bearing, as handsome as the clouds in the mountains, and as elegant as the jade and bamboo.
No matter where she went, she could see him at a glance.
"Gu Xiang and Gu Yi are also here, hey, the woman next to him is... Yufu?"
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 looks like she grew up overnight?"
The second prince looked at Yufu, his eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, he said: "She is beautiful, she was so young and inconspicuous before, but have you ever seen a girl of the same age who had a better birth than her? A girl of this age grows fast, let alone take care of herself. You haven’t seen her for three months since Lord Hou’s birthday. Naturally, it has changed a lot."
Princess Danyang snorted and turned her head to ignore him.
He clearly knows which pot is not opened or which pot is to be used. He knows that Gu Huaijiang's marriage to Gu Shubai and Yu on his birthday is a scar in his heart. He still wants to reveal it!
The second prince seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and was busy trying to make up, "Good sister, I said the wrong thing, so you can spare the second brother? I know you still have Gu Shubai in your heart, and the second brother treats them. Please come up, it's a plea for you, okay?"
After that, he raised his hand behind him and asked his guard to invite Gu Shubai to them.
Princess Danyang turned her head, and the person was gone.
She said anxiously: "Who still thinks about him? He doesn't marry me, but I still think about what he does? Everyone knows that I liked him before. How embarrassing you to invite him to me?"
The second prince sneered, "Who said he won't marry you? Although Lord Gu Hou made it clear that he wanted him to marry Yufu, I heard that Xianrengu did not agree. They did not exchange tokens, and the wedding ceremony has not yet been completed. Who dares to say that he must marry Yufu?"
Princess Danyang remained silent, recalling the situation of Gu Huaijiang's birthday banquet, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
She looked a little slower, and finally couldn't help but smile, "Well, if that's the case, it's okay to meet. If we want our father and emperor to make the second brother the prince, we can't be alienated from the Guhou Mansion."
The second prince showed a clear smile in his eyes.
His own sister, he knows better than anyone.
He said that Gu Shubai did not want to see him since he was married. In fact, she still liked him in her heart, and she would not let go of the slightest possibility of marrying him.
Woman, always can't escape a love word.
There are no shortage of young couples coming and going, and most of the women are holding lanterns from their lovers, with sweet smiles on their faces.
When passing by a small stall selling lanterns, Gu Shubai asked, "Yufu, I will buy you a small one. Can I hold it in my hand and play with it?"
Yufu followed his gaze and saw that the lanterns on the stall were so beautiful that they were all hung on a long bamboo frame.
She stood under the bamboo frame and looked up, with a finger on her chin, "I can only buy one, but these are so beautiful..."
The lanterns sold by the vendors on the street were pierced by their own hands, which were different from those hung in the Houfu.
Although the lanterns in the mansion are exquisite in craftsmanship, they are made by officials, with limited patterns, and they are all patterns that symbolize wealth and auspiciousness.
The ones on the stall are not so exquisite, but the variety of shapes makes Yufu dazzling.
Gu Shubai stood behind her, waiting for her to choose slowly, "Can you get it if you have more?"
Yu Fu thinks about it, too, if she carries two lanterns, she won't have free hands. Gu Shubai's hands are free, so it's hard to let a group of big masters pick up this little girl's stuff for her.
"Then I want that puppy lantern!"
She pointed to a naive white puppy lamp, and Gu Shubai knew at a glance why she chose this one.
Isn't this the same as the fat nine she raised
The vendor was an old man, with a kind eyebrow, and brought the puppy lamp she picked.
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss. The old man pierced these lanterns himself. If Miss likes it, please take it. You will not be charged."
Yufu took the puppy lamp, and waved his hand when he heard this, "No, no, I need to pay."
The old man smiled and said: "It is my honour to have a lady holding the lamp I pierced. Besides, if people see such a beautiful lady holding my lamp, they will rush to buy it later."
Yufu was afraid that the old man would not want her money, so he hurriedly touched the purse around his waist, only to touch a few gems that he carried with him for play, and had no silver or copper coins.
People who never leave the house, where does the money come from
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 a young lady?"
Does it matter whether giving money and wanting a young lady
Yu Fu didn't find the money, turned his head a little awkwardly, and pulled the corner of Gu Shubai's clothes.
"Big brother, have you brought money?"
It was Gu Shubai who said he was going to buy a lantern for her, but when Yufu couldn't find the money, he didn't say anything, just to see if Yufu would ask him for help.
Fortunately, Yufu was looking for him, not Gu Xiang and the others or Yan Zheng.
This made him greatly satisfied.
"Take it."
He smiled and stretched out his hand to the old man, and a hard object rolled into his clothes along the old man's cuff.
Gu Shubai nodded at him, "There are many people outside tonight, the old man will go back and see it again. It's cold in winter, so go back to rest earlier."
The old man didn’t know, so after Gu Shubai and his party left, he couldn’t restrain his curiosity after all, and shook the hard thing out of his cuff to have a look—
OMG, a gold ingot the size of an egg!
