Chapter 35: Entering the Palace
The carriage swayed forward, and on the uneven stone road, the horses' hooves lapped on the ground and made a clattering sound.
Yu Zeyan was closing his eyes for a long time, he sat upright, his hands on his knees, as solemn as a Buddha statue.
Gu Nian leaned over curiously and waved his hand in front of his face, but he still didn't move.
"What, are you hyperactive?" Yu Zeyan suddenly opened his mouth and said lightly. During the whole process, he still didn't open his eyes.
His face was expressionless, as if he was too lazy to take care of her.
Gu Nian stupidly withdrew the hand that was frozen in front of him.
She stuck out her tongue and grimaced at Yu Zeyan, not knowing what to reply.
"After entering the palace for a while, if you are still so presumptuous, if you collide with someone, I am afraid that you will not be able to get out for a while." Yu Zeyan suddenly laughed, and he opened his eyes to look at Gu Nian.
is impartial, Gu Nian's ugly grimace is in full view of him.
He laughed helplessly, but this smile was more genuine than the previous smoky laughter.
The four eyes met, and at the moment of lightning, Gu Nian's heart leaked a beat.
"Do the people in the palace know your unscrupulous temperament?" She asked softly and curiously.
Compared with himself, Gu Nian was even more curious about how Yu Zeyan's good mouth survived in this ancient world where he needed to be cautious in his words and deeds.
His identity is that of a son, and he was born with glory and wealth. But if you stand in the wrong place with a thought, if you are not careful, the soles of your feet can become an abyss.
He is different from ordinary people who work hard for a living, and he is not as difficult as the eunuchs in the court. He is always smiling, but behind this smile, there is a mystery that people dare not touch easily.
Gu Nian began to be a little curious about him.
Yu Zeyan glanced at Gu Nian lightly, he closed his eyes again, and his thin lips opened slightly.
He summed it up in dry rhetoric in one sentence, as if telling someone else's story: "I grew up in the palace since I was a child, but after my father died ten years ago, I rarely entered the palace." ”
said that he was his father, and according to the etiquette system, Yu Xueyan should be called his father. But he always felt that most of the people who had anything to do with the royal family were weak in the end, so he preferred to call his father.
Gu Nian remembered that she seemed to have never heard of his father, and it turned out that he had passed away.
"You seem to care about me?" Yu Zeyan opened his eyes again and glanced at Gu Nian with interest.
Gu Nian, who was told the central matter, smiled awkwardly and pretended to look around. She silently raised her head to look at the ceiling of the roof of the car, and replied perfunctorily: "No, you think too much." ”
Time passed second by second, and the carriage finally stopped the moment before Gu Nian felt that he was about to be suffocated by this journey.
"Miss, we're here." Qiu Tong whispered outside.
Gu Nian bent down and walked out, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, he saw the high vermilion wall. Waiting in front of the palace gate not far away was Gonggong Zhu beside His Majesty.
Zhu Gongcheng hurried towards the carriage with his small steps.
Aunt Etiquette had already gotten out of the car and waited, but she saw Yu Zeyan also jump out of Gu Nian's car, and wanted to blurt out the words but was preempted by Yu Zeyan: "Auntie is early!" Yo, isn't this Gonggong Zhu? ”
I saw Yu Zeyan striding towards Gonggong Zhu, he bent down slightly, and held Gonggong Zhu who was saluting with both hands: "How dare you bother Gonggong Zhu!" This kind of small matter of picking up people, you can just send any little eunuch to come. ”
Gonggong Zhu laughed with him, and the folds on his face turned into a ball: "What is His Royal Highness the Prince talking about?" The old slave should do his duty, Your Highness should not make fun of the old slave. ”
After saying that, Gonggong Zhu looked at Gu Nian with a smile, and praised without concealment: "Miss Gu is still beautiful and moving!" Gu Hou Ye has just left the early dynasty, and he is discussing with His Majesty in the Tianting Palace. ”
Gu Nian immediately bowed slightly: "My father-in-law praised it." ”
The group followed Gonggong Zhu into the palace.
The early morning in the deep palace seems to be no different from the outside world, and occasionally three or two birds stand on the branches and chirp. The walls are lined with tall and tall trees, but the leaves are slightly yellowed.
Walking towards this deep palace, I can occasionally see a few trotting palace maids, they all walk in a hurry as if the soles of their feet are smeared with oil, and a few big words are almost written on their faces when they are in a hurry to do errands.
Yu Zeyan also walked fast, and Gu Nian almost trotted all the way to keep up with Yu Zeyan's pace.
He glanced back and saw that Gu Nian was really tired walking, so he deliberately slowed down his pace.
Turning his head to look around, after making sure that Gonggong Zhu and Aunt Etiquette were far away from the front, he whispered: "You are very good at pretending to be gentle." ”
Gu Nian raised his head and glared at him, panting and scolding: "You are not bad at pretending." ”
Yu Zeyan snorted coldly: "Where is this?" ”
Gu Nian looked around curiously, this was not the same as the last time he entered the palace to participate in the draft, and even the palace gate was different.
It wasn't until she was a little tired that she understood why so many people wanted to be emperors in history.
Living in such a big place, surrounded by groups of wives and concubines every day, and sitting at the top of power, everyone wants to covet this position of Ninety-Five, and want to stay on it for a few more years.
She is a layman, and she can't think of any great ambition to worry about the country and the people.
"When you meet these people, don't be nervous, just treat them as ordinary people." Yu Zeyan comforted softly.
When he saw Gu Nian's thoughtful expression, he mistakenly thought that she was simply nervous.
Gu Nian shook his head: "They are not ordinary people!" ”
So who is Your Majesty? Putting aside his supreme identity, looking at his face that resembles his favorite male star, Gu Nian can't admit that he is an ordinary person, let alone the Queen Mother and the concubine.
blames his pig brain, otherwise he would have been able to look at his favorite celebrity face every day last time.
Gu Nian thought to himself, it would be better to just stay here this time and not leave.
She thought about it again, this is definitely not good, this is not only bullying the king and disobeying orders, this is simply teasing the emperor! If you can't figure it out, Quan Houfu and Yu Zeyan will have to die because of their own nonsense, so forget it.
She quietly looked up at Yu Zeyan and denied these vexatious thoughts in her head.
Yu Zeyan smiled and did not speak. In the shadow of the sun, his side face rises and falls with the speed of his pace, his long and curly eyelashes tremble slightly, he has a side face that is both rigid and soft, and his slightly curled thin lips seem to be as sensual and sultry as if they can be blown and broken.
Tut!
Looking at it this way, this Yu Zeyan is also very handsome. The point is that he is still young, and there is no generation gap with himself, so it is not bad to marry him directly.
Gu Nian thought that if he comes, he will be safe, who is he married and not married? Things have come to this point, and I can't go back to my home anyway, so let it be.
She suddenly thought of Yu Zeyan's previous unscrupulous words and bastard behavior, and muttered in her heart.
