Chapter 17: Pursuit
On the other side, Yue Wan'an returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion dejectedly, lying on the bed, unable to sleep, following the little white cat in her arms, humming the song that her mother had coaxed her to sleep before her death, and gradually became sleepy.
The sun rose the next day, and before Yue Wan'an woke up, she was woken up by Gu Minyu knocking on the door: "Little sister! Are you awake? ”
Yue Wan'an sat up in a daze, put on her coat, and welcomed Gu Minyu in: "Why didn't you go to school today?" ”
"Little sister, I have important news for you!"
"What's the important news? The prince is getting married? ”
"Hey~ No, young lady, I just heard from my mother that she has already said hello to Mr. Xuetang, as long as you are willing to go, young lady, you can go to school with us tomorrow!"
Yue Wan'an scratched her head: "But...... I've never been there, so won't I be able to keep up with my husband's teachings? ”
"It's okay, isn't it me and a few brothers here!"
"Oh, why haven't you gone to the academy yet?"
"Of course, I'm trying to tell the news to the young lady in advance!"
Yue Wan'an pinched her waist and pursed her lips: "Don't use me as a shield." ”
The little white cat jumped off the bed, jumped into Yue Wan'an's arms, and arched her little head into her palm like a coquette.
"Hehe, young lady, I'm actually pretending to be sick."
"Pretending to be sick again? Can't godfathers and godmothers see that you are as strong as an ox? ”
"Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, besides, little sister, I don't go to school, can't I just help match you and the prince!"
"Hey~ Don't mention it!" Yue Wan'an sat in front of the dresser with the little white cat in her arms: "Last night, I went to find the prince...... Confessed. ”
"Wow!" Gu Minyu approached her in surprise: "Little sister, what did you say?" ”
"I just asked him if I could be his princess, but he refused me without any room for redemption."
"Zizizi!" Gu Minyu clasped his arms in front of his chest and pinched his chin with one hand: "Little sister, you are too anxious!" ”
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
"There was once a great man and woman who said that confession is not a charge to attack, but a clarion call for victory, young lady, you are going to confess to the prince now, you are simply seeking a dead end and self-seeking sadistic behavior."
Yue Wan'an smoothed the fur for the little white cat: "So what? What should I do? ”
"One word!"
"What word?"
"Chase! It's over after chasing, chase until the prince likes you, you have to chase the prince, and chase him to the prime minister's mansion to marry you! ”
"How do you chase it? The current palace is closed every day, and you can't even see the face of the prince, let alone chase it. ”
"Little sister, don't you know my nickname?"
"What's the nickname?"
"Love, talented, self-taught, uncrowned king's chaser little expert!"
Yue Wan'an looked him up and down in disbelief: "How old are you?" ”
Gu Minyu pulled the wooden chair beside her and sat down: "Heroes don't ask where they come from, love regardless of age, young lady, do you want to chase the prince and marry into the palace?" ”
Yue Wan'an nodded blankly: "Yes." ”
"Then you just listen to me, and I promise to help you fulfill your wishes!"
"Okay, then tell me, how can you chase the prince if you can't meet each other?"
"What is it if you can't see each other, haven't you heard of 'seeing words like faces'?"
"What do you mean?" Yue Wan'an suddenly became interested.
Gu Minyu was just about to speak, when the voice of the little maid came from outside the door: "Miss, are you up?" ”
"I'm up!" Yue Wan'an shouted at the door.
"Then miss, I've gone in and washed up for you?"
"No!" Yue Wan'an hurriedly refused: "It's okay for me to come by myself, you can go and help me get the breakfast back first!" ”
"Okay."
Because the prime minister's family gets up at different times every morning, the ancient prime minister is going to the morning court, the six brothers of the Gu family are going to the school, and the prime minister's wife and Yue Wan'an will sleep in bed for a while, so the family's breakfast is their own.
"Minyu, are you pretending to be sick and going back to your own room to lie down?"
"It's okay, young lady, I'll hide here for a while, and when you finish breakfast, we'll start moving!"
"Well, that's fine."
A quarter of an hour later, Yue Wan'an quickly ate breakfast, "Minyu, let's say, what do I dare to do next?" ”
"Hey, hey!" Gu Minyu stood up with a smile: "Little sister, can you compose poetry?" Preferably the kind of love poem? ”
Yue Wan'an's face was dull and she shook her head: "No." ”
"Then you can recite some love poems written by the ancients?"
Yue Wan'an shook her head again: "No." ”
"What about love letters? It's good to be able to write love letters! ”
Yue Wan'an scratched her head in embarrassment: "I...... In fact...... I can't even write. ”
Forehead...... The sluggish person became Gu Minyu: "This ......"
"Is it difficult?"
Gu Minyu curled the corners of his mouth and showed a smirk: "It's not difficult, people say the simplest words in order to express the most real emotions, so let's do it, young lady, you follow me to learn, you don't have to write a lot on the first day, just express your love." ”
"The first day? Will there be in the future? ”
"That's right, young lady, first of all, the first step you have to do is to insist on writing a love letter to the prince every day, so that the prince can see your love for him, it is not just talking!"
"Wait, how long is it going to last?"
"We have to look at the follow-up development, and there is another benefit to insisting on writing love letters."
"What is it?"
"Little sister, do you think, if the prince is used to receiving love letters from you to him every day, once he doesn't receive them one day, do you think he will jump to his feet? I don't have the heart to do anything, and I spend my whole day wondering why you didn't write him a love letter? ”
"Is that really the case?"
"Hey~ Little sister, just believe me!" Gu Minyu sharpened the ink for Yue Wan'an, "Little sister, after I finish writing, you can just copy it!" ”
"Oh, okay."
The two worked hard for nearly half an hour, and finally prepared the love letter, and a few small hearts were painted on the envelope to decorate.
"Minyu, what if the little guy doesn't let us in?"
"What are you afraid of, as long as you let the little servant send the love letter to the prince, wouldn't it be good?"
"Well, that's right." As the two talked, they came to the gate of the palace, and the women behind them watched their every move closely.
"Gu Liugongzi, Miss Wan'an, do you have anything to find the prince? The prince said that he would not see any guests today. ”
"Oh, we just have a letter that we want to give to the prince, and I want you to help us forward it."
After Gu Minyu finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows at the little guy, and then took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and handed it to the little guy.
Seeing this, the little guy grinned: "Hehe, Gu Liugongzi, Miss Wan'an, you can rest assured, this letter, I promise to deliver it to the prince as soon as possible!" ”
Gu Minyu pulled Yue Wan'an around with satisfaction, the gate of the palace was closed, and the little servant trotted all the way to deliver the envelope to Yue Zhiqian.
"Lord Wang, this is sent by the sixth prince of Gu and Miss Wan'an."
Yue Zhiqian took the envelope, and after seeing the love on it, he felt that there was a problem, and slowly opened the envelope, and after looking at it twice, he laughed helplessly.
"Today I learned the word 'month', not to write my name, but to write your name."
After seeing the little girl's surprised eyes, he hurriedly put away the corners of his mouth: "Okay, you go down first!" ”
"Yes."
Outside the palace, a group of women exploded.
"I saw it! Just now, Prime Minister Gu's newly recognized goddaughter stuffed a letter to the little guy. ”
"I saw it too, it can't be a letter with a love expression, right?"
"Ahh I think it's very likely! ”
Everyone looked at Yue Wan'an and Gu Minyu, who turned around and walked back from the gate of the palace, and saw the two of them smiling, and their hearts were rolling with vinegar, so they didn't linger too long, turned around tacitly, and walked towards their mansion.
"Huh? Why are they all gone? ”
"Not good!" Gu Minyu clasped his hands: "They shouldn't have discovered our plan, right?" ”
"I found out, why did you leave?"
"Hey~ Little sister, they want to learn from us and write love letters to the prince, so they all returned to their mansions!"
"Huh? So what do we do? ”
"It's okay, don't panic yet, let's act at the opportunity."
The two sat down under the old locust tree in front of the palace, and after waiting for long, they saw the nobles coming back one after another, and not surprisingly, they all knocked on the door of the palace.
The little servant happily accepted the silver, went back and forth between the gate of the palace and the study, and earned almost half a year a day.
Yue Zhiqian in the study, his brows were furrowed more and more, looking at the love letters that were accumulating higher and higher on the bookcase, he was in no mood to open them at all.
Just when the sun was about to set, Yue Zhiqian finally spoke: "Xiaolin, don't accept letters and enter the house without permission in the future!" ”
"Yes." Xiao Lin secretly glanced at Yue Zhiqian's cold expression, his heart tightened, and the prince was angry!
hurriedly ran to the door of the palace, rejected all the next love letters, looked at the shining silver, and his heart was dripping like blood.
"What are we going to do now?" Yue Wan'an looked at Gu Minyu with a distressed expression.
"It's okay, young lady don't worry, you can't write love letters, I have other ways!"
"What's the solution?"
"Shh Gu Minyu put his index finger to his mouth: "Little sister, let's go back to the house and say, don't let them learn again!" ”
"Uh-huh, good!" Yue Wan'an happily followed Gu Minyu back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
A quarter of an hour later, the two walked out of the prime minister's mansion with kites.
"Aren't we going to the front door?"
"There are too many people at the front door, let's go to the back door, we can't let them learn anymore."
"Okay."
The two walked to the back door of the palace with a kite, looked left and right, and after seeing no noble girls, they raised the kite and opened!
The evening breeze blew, and soon the kite flew into the sky, but it was nothing more than the sky above the palace.
"Lord Wang, look, there seem to be two kites outside!"
Yue Zhiqian looked out of the window, only to see two moon-shaped kites fluttering in the sky above his study, and if he looked closely at the kites, he could also find that there were two names written respectively: "Yue Wan'an" and "Yue Zhiqian".
