Gu Shubai led the army back to the dynasty, and the triumphant division was in the limelight.
Yufu's heart fluctuates with the letters on his way. He seldom wrote to her before on the battlefield, and mostly just let people use the official military newspaper to pass the news.
Now this letter is continuous every day, and the palace people in the Palace of Longevity look at Yao Lan's daily delivery of letters, and their faces are blushing.
The relationship between Your Majesty and General Gu is really good...
Yufu just watched, and Ming Yaolan put the letter away after reading it, and didn't mention replying to it. After a few times, Yaolan couldn't help it. "Your Majesty, although the eldest son is going back to Beijing soon, shouldn't you also reply to a letter?"
"No return."
Yufu deliberately curled his lips in anger, "I didn't see the letters in the previous war, they were all written to him. Now it is time to turn around and let him taste what it is like to wait for my letters."
However, she waited until Gu Shubai wrote a letter a day, and Gu Shubai probably couldn't wait any longer. Look at Yufu's expression and didn't intend to reply to him.
Yaolan pursed her lips and smirked, "If you don't answer, don't answer, anyway, if it's fast, it will be three days or slower, but it will be five days later. He will come back on the 5th, when you have something to say!"
Her tone was a little ambiguous, Yufu deliberately gave her a blank look, seemingly happy but also annoying.
"Your Majesty, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Jianghuhai, is here, saying that he has sent the hairpin styles of your majesty and the gift of the 笄 to your majesty for viewing."
"Let him in."
After a while, a man dressed in an internal supervision system rushed in, holding a tray in his hand, "Slave, see your majesty."
Yufu raised his hand, "Get up, show it to me."
He brought the tray in his hand forward, and Yufu took a look, and saw that there were three exquisite hairpins inside, which were more grand and luxurious one by one, and the last one was directly a red gold red treasure phoenix hairpin.
Yufu couldn't help wondering, "Jizhan plus three, from Suzhan to Huazhan, why are these three hairpins so luxurious?"
Jianghu Haidao: "Return to your Majesty, this is a decision made by the adults of the Ministry of Rites after consultation. Ordinary women should start from wearing a plain hairpin, but your Majesty is the female ruler of Beili, which is by no means comparable to ordinary women. Your majesty is born with noble status. Only Hua Zan can show your majesty's dignity."
Yufu nodded slightly, "That's all, since the adults of the Ministry of Rites have discussed it, just rely on them."
Jiang Huhai hurriedly bowed and said: "Since the hairpin feels that it is okay, the servant has to ask his Majesty to show him. When the time comes, the servant will make preparations for which guests will be invited."
The guests who attended the ceremony include the honorable guest, the secretary, and the deacon of the praiser... The others are easy to say, but the first emperor and the first queen have long passed away, and no one can preside over the ceremony for her.
Yufu couldn't help feeling melancholy, Jiang Huhai looked at her face and hurriedly said: "In fact, your Majesty is a female monarch. Some things in the ceremony do not need to be the same as those of ordinary women, and there is no need to ritualize ancient rituals everywhere."
Knowing that he was comforting himself, Yufu said: "Jiji is originally a family gift. In that case, you can only invite everyone in the Gu Mansion. You and the Ministry of Rites can take care of the rest."
"Yes, the minion retires."
Jiang Huhai noticed some impatient emotions and swiftly withdrew from the Palace of Longevity.
Three days later, Gu Shubai returned to Beijing.
Chao Zhongwen Wu personally greeted him with water and wine outside the city. Although Yufu did not come personally, he sent Yao Lan to greet her.
The ministers toasted to congratulate him on his victory and returned to the court. The atmosphere was very good. Someone said: "Your Majesty has decreed that General Jin will be appointed as a general of the first rank. This is the military position second only to General Ouyang in the court! Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general!"
"There is more to congratulations. Your Majesty has reached the age of 笄笄. He put down his words in the court before and waited for the general to return to the court before giving the wedding ceremony. This is the first thing to congratulate!"
In the hustle and bustle, Gu Shubai nodded and smiled, unable to hide the joy from the heart in his eyes.
Tianyun held the wine glass, stepped forward, and said, "Congratulations to the general. I have read the memorials carefully for the few battles you have fought in Dongling. It is indeed amazing. You are Bei Li. I should thank you for laying down half of Dongling."
Gu Shu Baiqian said peacefully: "The Taishi is utterly praised. The Taishi prepares food, grass and military salaries in the rear, and divides the worries and labors of his majesty in the middle of the DPRK. The hard work is high. I should thank you for it."
His tone was clear and modest, and his eyes were open and bright, but Tian Yun always felt uncomfortable when he heard it.
In what capacity does he thank himself
The general of Yibei Li, or the husband of Yibei Li's daughter
Tian Yunpo's heart was in a mess, and his complexion suddenly sank. Before he could even speak, he heard Gu Yi shouting behind him, "Big Brother!"
He hurriedly nodded at Gu Shubai, then walked to the side, drank the glass while walking.
Gu Hanmo walked up and saw Tian Yunpo leaving behind, their expressions were not quite right.
"Big brother, did he say sour words to stab you again? You ignore him, you must be jealous of your great achievements in this battle!"
"No."
Gu Shubai smiled and said, "Why would he sting me? He came to congratulate me sincerely, so don't worry about it."
In front of everyone, Gu Hanmo didn't say anything. The brothers only asked him about the dust and hardship he had come all the way. After thanking the hundreds of officials who greeted him outside the city, he went back to Gu's house directly.
Just as the horse stopped outside the house, Gu Shubai turned over and got off the horse and said, "I will go back to take a shower and change clothes first, and then go into the palace."
If he hadn't been riding the horse all the way, I'm afraid he would not be anxious to rush into the palace now, where would he still have the mind to look back at the palace
Everyone understood his thoughts and tacitly said, only Gu Hanmo said: "Big brother, second sister-in-law will cook for you personally, why not leave after eating?"
"Third brother, you are too insightful to see, what are you stopping your eldest brother from doing?"
Gu Yi slashed: "Big brother is in a hurry to enter the palace to see Xiao Yufu, anyway, there is also a royal meal in the palace, and the big brother can't be hungry. Let's not make trouble here, let the big brother go back to freshen up soon!"
Gu Shubai smiled, "Since his sixth brother got married, he has become a lot more sensible, so Yunyan should be trained well."
After that, he threw the rein to Yan Zheng and strode towards the house.
Gu Yi was full of pride, "That is, I am naturally more sensible now that I am married... Hey, what is Yunyan's good training? Is it good for me to train her?"
…
In the inner room, the air is sweltering behind the screen.
Gu Shubai was wiping, and suddenly heard the sound of the door being opened, the sound of footsteps was very familiar.
"The third brother?"
"Big brother, it's me."
Gu Hanmo was holding a plate of pastries in his hand, "Second Sister-in-law is afraid that you will be hungry all the way, so I will bring you something to eat. It's okay to pad your stomach before entering the palace."
There was the sound of water behind the screen, the aroma of grassy bath beans overflowed, and Gu Hanmo sat down outside.
Gu Shubai smiled and said, "I'm afraid I didn't just come here for the sake of snacks? Do you have something to tell me? I heard that you are very close to Liming's sister and have you decided to marry her?"
Gu Hanmo knew he would be wrong when he heard it, "Big Brother, I'm not talking about this!"
It's not about this matter, that is, it's true.
Gu Shubai smiled secretly in his heart, and asked through the screen, "What's that?"
Gu Hanmo said: "Before the eldest brother was far away in Dongling and was fighting again. Something was not told to the eldest brother. Does the eldest brother know why Yufu announced the news of the wedding in the court?"
"why?"
"In order to refuse Tianyunpo, he is interested in Yufu."
The sound of water behind the screen stopped for a moment, and soon the sound became clearer, as if someone had stood up from the water.
Gu Shubai took off his clothes from the screen, put on his shirt and walked out after putting on his outer shirt, "Oh, that's how it is."
Gu Hanmo was taken aback.
This reaction was different from what he had imagined. He originally thought that Gu Shubai would be a little worried at least, but he didn't expect that he would not care at all.
He suddenly realized something, "Big Brother... I knew it a long time ago?"
"Um."
Gu Shubai sat down beside him, picked up a piece of pastry and bite, rushed all the way and took a bath on an empty stomach. He was a little hungry at the moment.
Gu Hanmo almost jumped up, "Since the older brother knows that he will let him go to the sky with Yufu? It has been several months for him to go to the border? I now think about why Tianyunpo urged older brother to go on the expedition. I think he is I did this deliberately in order to support the big brother!"
Gu Shubai poured a cup of tea to himself, "I don't think he did it on purpose, but because of Bei Li's consideration at that time, only I was the most suitable candidate for the campaign. But—"
As soon as he changed his conversation, Tian Yun broke this person’s unpredictable thoughts, and he was not completely sure, “It’s okay to be deliberate. He wants to get a chance to get along with Yufu. This is normal. Besides, I have no loss. It took a few months to gain fame and success, and he married Yufu in a fair way."
Gu Hanmo thought about Yufu's attitude, her expression relaxed a little, she did not give Tianyun a chance to break, and Gu Shubai had no loss.
But he is so calm and clear, Gu Hanmo always feels that he is picking up mice, "Big brother is too generous, what if he is really told to take advantage of it?"
"I and Yufu are not married yet. He has the right to pursue Yufu. If Yufu likes him more, I will withdraw. This is a dispute between gentlemen. As long as he doesn't cause any conspiracy to divorce my relationship with Yufu, what can I have? Mind? Besides, I believe in Yufu and myself, and I am confident that Tianyunpo can't do a deeper relationship than Yufu and I."
He drank all the tea in the cup, wiped the tea on the corners of his lips with his slender fingers, "Well, thank you third brother for worrying about me, I should go to the palace."
After all, he picked up the gold medal on the table and rushed out.
Gu Hanmo stared at him blankly, before yelling out, "But... Brother, your hair is still dry!"
…
Gu Shubai took a lot of care, as soon as he rode out to the palace gate, when he turned over and got off the horse, he used a hairband to bundle his long hair and sprinkled it into the palace.
The soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army couldn't help being dumbfounded. As he returned from a great victory and was about to marry his Majesty, who would dare to say that he was not well-dressed and should not be a saint
What's more, this kind of beautiful young man, even with a disheveled hair, is also like a chrysanthemum jade tree, smiling like a bright moon into his arms makes people look up.
The maids passing by on the road stood far away when they saw him, bowed and nodded, but couldn't help looking at him from the bottom of their eyes, and then secretly blushed.
Until his figure got farther and farther away, only the azure homely robe and big sleeves were swaying, and the moon-white hair with a fairy and handsome appearance made people's heart beating.
Yufu waited anxiously in the Hall of Longevity. Yaolan had already returned, but he hadn't seen Gu Shubai for a long time.
Yaolan comforted him and said, "Your Majesty, be patient, the eldest son has reviewed the mansion, so I must clean up before entering the palace."
"I don't mind if he freshen up or not."
As Yufu said, his eyes were still looking into the courtyard through the bright window of the Hall of Longevity, "When I found him and his sixth brother in the forests of Changzhou, there was no way for them to hide in the cave. I am not. never seen it."
She wanted to see his people right now, and she didn't care about them.
"At that time you were young, and now you are going to be married, how can you let you see my unkempt appearance?"
A familiar voice suddenly heard behind him, Yufu was shocked, and turned his head to look like Gu Shubai standing behind, smiling like a spring breeze.
The tense string in her heart suddenly loosened, and she rushed towards him and threw herself in his arms, hugging him tightly.
Gu Shubai also stretched out his hand to embrace her, there was no extra words between each other, only heartbeat, breathing, and smell.
Everything is the same, even though they haven't seen it for months, the tacit understanding between them has never changed.
Yao Lan hurriedly waved her hand, and all the people who were waiting in the temple retreated. She closed the door of the temple easily, putting her ears on the door to pay attention to the movement in the temple.
The maid next to her also wanted to learn from her, but she was stopped by a wink, and had to look at their figures in the hall eagerly.
Yufu buried his head in his arms, deliberately not using any strength, and the whole body's strength fell on him. He noticed it, but just smiled to himself, his body steadfast.
Yufu raised his head and poked his chest, "You haven't moved at all."
Gu Shubai looked down at her, looking at her from this angle, her chin became sharper and her face was beautiful, but it was distressing, "You are thin again, how can you shake me? Why don't you try to eat more, maybe just get a little fatter. It's okay."
"How much fat do you want?"
Yufu asked this, and suddenly saw the smile at the corner of his mouth, he knew that he was teasing himself, "I'm afraid I will become two so fat now that I can't shake you, hum, stop playing."
When she said she was about to get up, Gu Shubai tightened her arm and she couldn't move anymore.
He lay down in his arms again, and whispered: "Why didn't you come in through the front door? I stood at the window and waited for you for a long time. Who knew you would jump in from the back window."
Gu Shu raised his eyebrows, "When people are happy, they always want to do something extraordinary. I don't dare to be in front of outsiders. I'm afraid of people talking about me. You stand at the window and wait for me, and I will fly in from the front window."
Yufu was overjoyed after hearing his explanation, "If this is the case, then you can come in from the back window next time, just don't make me worry for so long."
Her nose fluttered and she smelled the same scent of grass on him as her own. She couldn't help but get up to take a look and saw that he was wearing a homely green robe and his hair was not tied.
At first glance, he hurried into the palace after taking a bath, and even reluctant to spend the time to dress up, which shows that he cares about her in his heart and does not want to waste a moment.
The little emotion she had been waiting for for a long time disappeared, pushing him to sit on the side of the couch, "Are you tired of coming back all the way? Let them pass the meal earlier, how about I personally tie your hair?"
Gu Shubai has always seen Lianzhu and Lianbi combing Yufu's hair, never knowing that Yufu can comb his hair or tie a man's hair.
He couldn't help wondering, "Will you?"
Yufu proudly said: "I can't learn it, anyway, I will learn it sooner or later."
As he said to untie his hair band, he picked up the horns on the dressing table and combed him, the long hair hanging down to his waist, there was no glamorous beauty.
She held his hair in one hand and combed it in the other. She couldn't help saying: "Do you remember that year in Guhou Mansion, one night we were looking at the moon on the roof. I was young and afraid of the dark. I was scared when the wind moved in the woods on all sides, but now I'm not scared anymore."
"Is it because you grew up?"
"No," Yufu said, holding his hair tress, "Because your hair was like this that night, it was scattered after the bath, and it was swaying. You said that the windy trees in the dark are your hair. From then on, I will only think of you when I see the ghostly winding trees. How can I be scared anymore?"
Gu Shubai's heart warmed, she did not expect that she had remembered a joke for so long.
Yufu said, "Well, the jade crown is in the box over there, I just forgot to bring it."
The two looked at each other, Gu Shubai's hair was being pulled by Yufu, and Yufu did not easily comb his hair tress, and if he let go, he would lose all his efforts.
The two couldn't move anyone, and couldn't help but smile when they looked at each other.
Yaolan's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid will come in and help you get it?"
What a Yaolan, she has been eavesdropping outside the door!
Yufu secretly scolded her for being bolder, but there was no other way but to order her to come in. Yaolan walked in with a grin, and opened a gold-cut box on the side of the wall.
There were all important things Yujiao kept, including the baby medicine box she hadn't used for a long time.
Yaolan took out a small brocade box from the inside, and when he closed the box, Gu Shubai glanced at that place, and accidentally saw an unexpected object.
It was a small wooden figurine, even though it was far away, Gu Shubai could still see at a glance—the figurine was carved in the shape of Yufu.
