Chapter 1: Nightmares
Outside the imperial city of the capital, a man was holding a little boy about five or six years old in his hand, and in his arms was a pink, innocent little girl who was sucking his fingers.
The man looked at the burning palace in front of him with a dead face, and the little boy next to him said in a childish voice: "Uncle, where are we going?" ”。
The man did not answer, his eyes were always fixed on the front, the little boy turned sideways and looked up at him, the distant fire seemed to be imprinted on the bottom of his eyes, raging and blazing, until the arrival of another man made his cold face fluctuate a little.
The man said coldly: "Take him away", the man took the little boy's hand and handed it to the visitor, then turned around and left without looking back with the little girl in his arms.
"Uncle, Guna ......", the little boy cried and wanted them to come back, but the man never looked back, and gradually, the man's back disappeared into the darkness.
"Uncle, Guna ......," the little boy cried, "Ting'er, be obedient, you will see you again in the future", the visitor comforted softly. "Really?" The little boy looked at the man who was pulling him, and the man nodded, his eyes full of sadness .......
"Big brother, big brother ......", a sweet little girl's voice woke up the man who had fallen into a nightmare on the bed, the man reluctantly opened his eyes, a nightmare made him have a splitting headache, the man raised his hand and rubbed his swollen temples.
"Big brother, you're awake", after the man endured the discomfort and saw the person clearly, he exhaled helplessly, propped himself up and sat on the edge of the bed. Thinking about this scraping little sister in her heart, she said coldly: "Girl, how many times have I told me, don't just enter the man's room, you are a lot", the man's head still seemed to be very painful, and the hand holding the temple was never put down.
"You are my brother, and you are not an outsider", the little girl simply sat down next to him and said to him indifferently, the man had no choice but to take her, so he reluctantly put down his hand and moved his body to the side, turned his head to look at her, and asked: "Girl, this early in the morning, what's the matter, tell me quickly."
The little girl laughed twice, with a little "schadenfreude" on her immature face, the man frowned, and a sense of foreboding suddenly surged in his heart, staring at her with eyes, the little girl still looked innocent and romantic.
"Don't worry, it's not me looking for you, it's your second aunt looking for you", "It's not a big girl, that's your mother", "Isn't it also your second aunt!" The little girl stuck her tongue out mischievously at him.
The backyard of Prince Gu's mansion, the courtyard in early spring, although it is still a little cool, but under the careful maintenance of the owner, it is also full of flowers and a vibrant scene.
There were two women sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, and when they saw Gu Yanting coming, one of the young women followed him closely with a pair of beautiful eyes.
"Second aunt", "Ting'er, you are here, come, come, come quickly", "Second aunt, listen to Le'er, you are unwell, but please ask a doctor", Gu Yanle went to Gu Yanting's room early in the morning and called him up, saying that his mother wanted to see him, and also said that she was unwell.
Gu Yanting guessed one or two at that time, and when he came over to see that person was really here, it was another trick, "The second aunt saw you, and her body was half better, come, come and sit", Gu Yanting's second aunt - Fang's.
Fang patted the place next to him and let Gu Yanting sit there. Gu Yanting was raised by his second uncle and second aunt since he was a child, and he was like his own son, which was excellent, Gu Yanting was also very grateful and respectful to them from the bottom of his heart, even if he knew that his poor health was just an excuse, he still came.
As soon as Gu Yanting sat down, Pei Shuyan on the side couldn't wait to take the initiative to show favor, scooped up tea for him, and said softly: "Brother Ting, this day, it's a little cold, drink hot tea to warm up."
"Miss Pei is polite, this is in the lower house, Miss Pei is a guest, there is no need to do this", hearing Gu Yanting's polite words, a little embarrassment appeared on Pei Shuyan's face. Fang looked at his incomprehensible nephew, and was very anxious.
"Yan'er is too polite, obviously I have known our Ting'er since childhood, childhood sweethearts, two little ......", "Second aunt, ...... tea", Gu Yanting deliberately interrupted.
Fang Shi glanced at him and ignored him and continued: "Don't always be so polite, you just treat this Prince Gu Mansion as your own home, and Ting'er as your own, just be casual, you know?" ”。
Saying that, Fang also patted the back of Pei Shuyan's hand affectionately, "Madam, Yan'er knows, Yan'er also treats you as my family", Pei Shuyan glanced at Gu Yanting shyly.
