Chapter 356 Sad
The two had just been being affectionate when a servant came to report: "The Emperor has personally invited the Regent and Miss Chu Yan to attend a banquet in the palace tonight."
Di Xiuyan personally helped Mu Wanyan prepare clothes and jewelry, and even helped her clumsily tie her hair.
"There are many barbarians in the palace. I will help Yanyan dress up a little uglier."
Xiang Qin laughed secretly, "Your Highness, my princess has become more beautiful since she has been with you. She would look good even if she were wearing a rag."
Di Xiuyan smiled and handed her a banknote. "Qin Xiang is very good at talking. She praised two people at once."
Xiang Qin: "Your Majesty, my name is Xiang Qin."
Di Xiuyan: “Okay, I’ll remember that.” Actually, they are all the same.
The two were preparing to go to the palace for a banquet in the evening, and Gu Yeran walked into the Regent's Palace in high spirits.
After handing the whip to the doorman, he rushed to Di Xiuyan's study.
He had to discuss something with Di Xiuyan today, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Before reaching the study, he saw the door was open. He subconsciously wanted to step inside, but saw Di Xiuyan holding Mu Wanyan in his arms.
The two of them were very affectionate with each other, and Di Xiuyan was carefully feeding Mu Wanyan soup.
Occasionally, when some juice spilled, Di Xiuyan would take a clean towel and gently wipe it for her, with an attitude of doting on her even more carefully than when he wiped her sword.
Gu Yeran stood at the door for a long time, but the martial artist with tenth-level skills didn't notice anything.
He rolled his eyes, cursed inwardly, "You're useless," and strode away.
"If I marry a wife in the future, she will have to stand when I sit, and she will have to bow when I stand."
"It's lawless. How can a woman be pampered like this?"
The more Gu Yeran thought about it, the angrier he became. When he reached the pavilion, he suddenly realized that his former follower, Di Jintong, had not come to see him for a long time.
So I turned a corner and wanted to go see my cousin.
Now that she is getting married, as her cousin, I should ask her what she likes and help her buy some things.
No one has seen it, but the sound comes first.
At the flower stand, next to the swing.
The girl was wearing a purple gauze skirt, her little face was slightly raised, the corners of her mouth were pulled into a big arc, and from time to time she let out a silver bell-like laugh.
The tall and burly young man behind her was looking at her with a silly smile while pushing the swing with her from behind.
The picture is so harmonious and beautiful that no one who sees it would be willing to disturb it.
Gu Yeran: “…” He felt even worse.
He cursed quietly, "The world is going downhill. The bride and groom can't see each other one month before the wedding. Why are these couples dating secretly?"
Gu Yeran: "If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. I learned this from my cousin."
Gu Yeran walked out of the Regent's Palace angrily, rode his horse around the road, and involuntarily arrived at the orphanage.
"I will go and see that poor fellow Qiluo."
"She has a home but cannot return. She is in a foreign country. Her parents don't want her, and her husband doesn't want her either."
Gu Yeran sighed and said to himself: "Now I can only find a sense of existence with Princess Qiluo. We are all people forgotten by God."
When he arrived at the orphanage, he asked the doorman where Qiluo was and learned that she was trimming flowers in the back garden.
Gu Yeran curled his lips into a smile, and ordered the servant to follow him with a pot of herbal tea.
"Herbal tea is good for the throat. She can drink it after she finishes weeding."
The servant gave his young master a thumbs up, "Young master, you are so thoughtful. Even a grown man like me is touched by you."
Gu Yeran: "Now she is the only one who is more pitiful than me, I have to protect her no matter what."
-
The master and servant unknowingly arrived at the backyard, and the scene before them made Gu Yeran stop again.
In the sun, by the pond, in the garden.
Princess Qiluo squatted on the ground, carefully pruning the branches of flowers and trees with a pair of scissors.
Standing behind him was a tall, imposing man with eyes full of doting... Prince Yan.
The King of Yan watched her work quietly without saying a word, and his position was very clever.
Gu Yeran took a closer look and thought, haha, this is exaggerated, Prince Yan was actually secretly using his body to block the sun for Princess Qiluo?
All the sunlight shone on Prince Yan, leaving Qi Luo fiddling with the flowers and plants in the shade.
Not far away, there were palace maids from Prince Yan's Mansion, who were standing by with fresh fruits, tea, snacks and other snacks.
It was obvious that after Princess Qiluo finished her work, Prince Yan would ask the palace servants to present these things one by one.
What a good thing that moistens things silently and does good things without saying anything.
Gu Yeran curled the corner of his mouth and said to the servant behind him: "Let's go. I suddenly feel that Qiluo is not pitiful anymore." I am the most pitiful person in the world.
The loneliness on weekdays is bearable, and the hardship and fatigue can be endured, but what is frustrating is that how come the teammates who suffer together with you suddenly become happy?
Gu Yeran felt extremely sad, mainly because he felt unbalanced.
The servant asked him, "Master, are you going home?"
Gu Yeran: "Why are you going back? Come with me to the Prince's Eastern Palace. Now I think Pei Yuxiao is the only one who looks better to me."
-
Prince's East Palace.
Pei Yuxiao treated Gu Yeran very well with fine wine and delicious food, music, singing and dancing.
It was with the Crown Prince that Gu Yeran's wounded heart was barely relieved.
"How many women do you plan to marry to serve you in the future?" Gu Yeran asked the prince.
Pei Yuxiao: "The more the better, there is no limit, what about you?"
Gu Yeran: "Same as you, the more the better."
Gu Yeran asked the prince again: "Why don't you take any action? You are already an adult, when are you going to marry a princess?"
Pei Yuxiao: "There is no rush. I will take my time."
Gu Yeran took out a pen and paper and carefully listed to the prince several noble ladies in the capital, all of whom were of superior character, appearance and family background.
He asked him, "How are you? Do you like these women?"
Pei Yuxiao sneered and said indifferently: "With my conditions, there is no woman I can't marry. It's not time for you to worry about it yet."
Gu Yeran also laughed, with contempt. He thought to himself: It turns out that the prince is only brave in words.
He was full of ambition every day and wanted to bring all the women in the world into the East Palace, but in fact he didn't like any of them.
Pei Yuxiao was not to be outdone and asked him, "Mr. Gu, your mouth is almost crooked from smiling. Do you have a girl you like?"
He pointed at the graceful dancers and motioned them to come forward so that Gu Yeran could choose.
"The maids of the East Palace are all of excellent appearance, but I have never been close to any of them. If Doctor Gu takes a fancy to anyone today, feel free to take her away. I have agreed."
"Ah——" The dancers couldn't help but exclaim when they heard it.
Their eyes widened and they all cast eager and shy glances at Gu Yeran.
They thought that by coming to the East Palace as a dancer, they could become a phoenix in one day. But who would have thought that the prince was a martial arts fanatic who only loved to wield spears and sticks, and would not even look at them on weekdays.
The palace walls are deep, how can they ever get out?
Now that the Gu family's eldest son is here, it is such a great opportunity, how can they not perform well?
Upon hearing this, Gu Yeran laughed out loud towards the sky.
As expected, he stood up seriously and walked over to the group of stunning beauties.
"No, this one is too thin. It hurts my hands when I hold it."
"That won't work either. It's too dark. Even if I blow out the candles at night, I won't be able to find her."
"No, this one won't do. It's too fat, and you can see it eating at a glance. My general's mansion is frugal and we can't afford to support her."
"This is even worse. It's too white. If I stand under the sun on a normal day, my mother will definitely think it's a zombie and scare her."
Gu Yeran found fault with every beautiful woman, both plump and thin, and criticized them all to the point of being worthless.
He has a poisonous tongue, vicious eyes, and a bad temper.
As they talked, several girls couldn't bear it anymore and started crying with their hands covering their faces.
Pei Yuxiao frowned and quickly dismissed the dancers.
"You already have heavy makeup on, and now you're crying it makes you look even uglier. Get out of here right away."
When the dancers heard this, they felt even more sad and trotted back, knowing that there was no way they could fall asleep tonight.
Pei Yuxiao's eyes met Gu Yeran and he couldn't help but sneer.
"So you are just a talker, always shouting that you want to take a concubine, but in fact you don't even like any woman. What a waste of your good looks."
Gu Yeran cupped his hands and said, "Mutual, mutual."
Pei Yuxiao and Gu Yeran, one was born a prince, and the other was the son of a general.
He has a handsome appearance and a rebellious personality. He has been surrounded by beautiful girls since he was a child. They are used to seeing all kinds of beautiful women. How could they be lustful people?
Pretending to be free and easy, pretending to be cynical, with two seemingly fickle mouths, she is actually more loyal than many men in Dafeng Kingdom.
After three glasses of wine, the two grown men started crying again.
Pei Yuxiao: "If I were to say, the most pitiful person in the world is Di Xiuyan. Marrying at such a young age is really a pity."
Gu Yeran: "Who said it wasn't? From now on, someone will supervise my cousin if he drinks or comes home late. He won't have any freedom at all."
Gu Yeran and Pei Yuxiao got along better and better as they talked.
When he learned that the wedding gifts they both gave to the Regent were head ornaments or brocades worn by women, and not anything for Di Xiuyan.
The two people appreciate each other even more.
Pei Yuxiao: "I admire you. You don't flatter your cousin Shura at all."
Gu Yeran: "I admire him too. My cousin is so powerful that the prince doesn't even bother to win him over."
Only the servants around the two men knew what was going on. Their masters were very sad, but luckily they met someone who understood them.

Soon it was evening, and Di Xiuyan brought Mu Wanyan to the palace for a banquet.
