Chapter 5

Two years ago

Lei Xiao succeeded to the throne for a whole year. Lei Yao died nine times and came back from the front line for a whole year.

He stood in the courtyard, his silver-gray cedar embroidered with dark patterns, subtle and luxurious. A straight nose, tough eyebrows, a handsome face with a hint of ruffian in elegance, and an upturned mouth that gives people a smile when they are serious. I don't know what I thought, he smiled slightly, glanced at Yan casually, was drawn by his laughter, and sank into the whirlpool of the corners of his slightly upturned mouth and couldn't extricate himself.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Xiyan looked at her sister's cheeks in a slightly red daze. "Didn't you go find something for me, where are you?"

Chao Yan didn't seem to hear it.

"Sister, what are you thinking?" Xiyan shook her, "I'm talking to you." ”

"Nothing. Chao Yan, who suddenly woke up, hurriedly denied it.

"Where's the thing?" said Yuyan stretched out his hand.

"I, I...."Chao Yan then thought about what he had just done. "I'm sorry, I forgot. ”

"Forget it. Xiyan said indifferently, "You must be afraid that your father will find out." I'll just go by myself next time. ”

Chao Yan's thoughts drifted back to just now, his smile was shallow, but so warm and soft.

"Xiyan," Chaoyan thought about it for a long time, and said with some struggle, "Do you know who the guest is today?"

"What's wrong?" Xiyan stopped stirring and looked up at her sister, she was strange today.

"Nothing?" When Xiyan saw it, Chaoyan's courage was lost most, and he was a little annoyed by his recklessness.

Xiyan didn't ask, she just looked her sister up and down carefully, then ran back to her room, and then ran back later, dressed as a little domestic servant.

"I'll take a look. You wait. After saying that, he ran away.

Before Chao Yan could stop it, she was gone.

Chao Yan felt that his face was hot and panicked, and his heart was beating faster and faster somehow. She couldn't help but go out of the room and look in the direction her sister was running.

Xiyan took the tea from his subordinates, lowered his head, and walked carefully to the study.

A young man is talking to his father. The atmosphere was peaceful. The father didn't seem bored with the guest.

Xiyan walked to the table, put down the tea lightly, and the first thing that caught his eye was a silver-gray brocade robe.

She paused as she stepped back, and with that moment, she caught a glimpse of the man. is really gentle, handsome and elegant, and a handsome son with extraordinary bearing. The man seemed to sense her gaze, he looked at her, smiled faintly, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of tea.

Xiyan hurriedly lowered his head and walked out cautiously. She stood still outside the window and heard her father call him Gong Wangye.

It was already afternoon when Lei Yao came out of Gu's house. He asked the sedan chair to go back first, and walked slowly to his home by himself. His mood was a little annoyed. Since the eldest brother ascended the throne, he has refused to send him on expeditions again. Could it be that the defeat in the previous war made the eldest brother doubt his ability, or did he agree with the opinion of other old ministers, thinking that he was young and inexperienced?

Or for the sake of comfort, he made himself a prince, and it seems that he was promoted to a knighthood, but for a soldier, he was deprived of the opportunity to go to the battlefield to prove himself, what other meaning did it have?

Although Gu Weizhi is not involved in officialdom, people outside the circle can see through after all. He didn't mention a word, but every word was meaningful. If you don't go to be a good minister, you can really wronged his talent.

Wait for your time. I just don't know when the opportunity will come!
