MTL - Accidentally Married Miss Empress-Chapter 7
Gong Yu said that this was definitely a scam.
Fortunately, the little girl didn't make much noise, at most she just grabbed Gong Yu's hand and didn't want to let it go.
A few people entered the pavilion, bamboo curtains were hung around to block the wind, and charcoal basins were placed in the corners for heating, and the hot soup basin emitted an attractive fragrance.
"This fish soup was fished this morning, can you try it, miss?" The grandmother on the side took the fish soup and handed it to Dai Ruyan, and then poured soup for Gong Yu in turn.
Dai Ruyan took a small sip, and the little girl beside her drank the soup following Dai Ruyan's posture, and she looked cautious because it was a little hot.
After the warm soup entered the belly, Gong Yu only had the energy to look at the little girl this month, her complexion was indeed too pale.
Grandma held the soup bowl in both hands and said, "Yue'er is a hard-working girl. If she can live a day, it's a day."
Gong Yu asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Yue'er?"
Dai Ruyan paused slightly and replied, "I'm born with insufficiency, my physique is too weak, the doctor said that there is not much time."
"But she looks just like ordinary people now, except that her face is paler."
The little girl looked at Gong Yu and smiled, showing her missing teeth, and said contentedly, "Why don't you drink, little brother?"
Gong Yu calmed down and replied, "I've finished drinking a bowl."
"Oh."
There was whiteness everywhere, and the snow scene of Lushan was looming, and Yueer was sleepy after only a while.
The one who was holding Gong Yu was also loose, so she was carried away by grandma.
After eating and drinking, Gong Yu had nothing to do, glanced at the chessboard placed on the side and asked, "If there is nothing, let's play two games?"
Dai Ruyan readily accepted it, holding black, Gong Yu white, and made the first move.
In fact, Gong Yu has little knowledge of Go, but Dai Ruyan is a good player, easily teasing Gong Yu around.
"You can't just ask me to have a meal here today, right?" Gong Yu saw that the situation could not be saved, so she had to do whatever she wanted.
Dai Ruyan did not soften her heart, she pressed forward step by step, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Why not?"
Gong Yu paused to look at Dai Ruyan and said, "Ayan is very busy. I heard that few women go to court, but I heard that last time you were in the palace exam with the jinshi, and I heard that your father and king praised you."
"How did you find out about this?"
"Of course it's hearsay. I'm only a small prince, and I'm an idler. Where else can I get any serious gossip?"
Dai Ruyan paused slightly, and asked in confusion, "What is gossip?"
Forehead…
Instantly outspoken.
Gong Yuluo hesitated for a moment: "It just means to inquire about news."
On behalf of Ruyan, she didn't think much, just looked at the situation and said, "In recent days, your highnesses have frequently invited invitations, and the situation in the court is unpredictable. I have to make some choices."
"So, poor me became a shield." Gong Yu said innocently, blinking at Dai Ruyan and said, "But Ayan is several years older than me, and those ministers probably won't be able to see through it for a while. Otherwise, you will definitely think that A Yan is an old cow eating young grass."
While talking, Gong Yu smiled mischievously, and happily dropped a child. Dai Ruyan, who was opposite, looked helplessly, followed by falling black and said in a low voice, "If I don't go with other highnesses, as for you, they have to believe it if they don't believe it in the end."
"Hey, Ayan, show mercy!"
As soon as the black chess fell, the situation was already unbearable, Gong Yu scratched his head and wanted to cheat.
But Dai Ruyan was already cleaning up the chessboard, ignoring Gong Yu on the side, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth:
"Old cow, naturally there is an old cow's way of survival."
This is definitely Dai Ruyan's blatant revenge.
It was getting late, and the brazier in the pavilion could not resist the chill. Gong Yu got up and followed Dai Ruyan out of the pavilion.
The wind was cold and the snow was slippery on the road. Gong Yu walked carefully, and Dai Ruyan held her hand.
"In the coming year, you will be able to attend political affairs with other His Royal Highnesses. Although you are young, small mistakes can be avoided, but big mistakes cannot be made. This must be remembered in your heart."
Dai Ruyan's hand is slender and slender, but it is extremely soft and comfortable to touch. Gong Yu holds it tightly and responds: "I know, companions are like companions of tigers, so be careful, right?"
"Well, but you can't say this in front of others."
"Why?"
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu helplessly, lowered her head slightly and pinched Xi Gongyu's frozen red face with her free left hand, and said in a low voice, "You are a son of man, how can you say that your father is a beast?"
Fortunately, the strength was not great, and Gong Yu did not hide. She looked at Dai Ruyan slyly and said, "The tiger is the king of the beasts in the mountains. This is a compliment."
"And in that way, I'm a little tiger, and I'm also very powerful."
"You..." Dai Ruyan smiled and said, "The little tiger never saw it, but he saw a little wild cat with its teeth and claws."
This smile is like a spring breeze, and it is so beautiful that it makes Gong Yu's heart beat fast.
Gong Yu looked sideways at the frozen lake with a guilty conscience, and asked, "Are you going to the New Year's Eve Palace Banquet?"
"Probably going."
"I heard that in recent years, there has been chaos in the frontier of different races, and a large number of soldiers are still fighting outside. I am afraid that this year's New Year's Eve will not be stable." Entering the corridor, Dai Ruyan let go of Gong Yu's hand and reached out to take the stove handed by her maid. , shoved it into Gong Yu's hand almost without hesitation.
Gong Yu clutched the heater and said moved: "You don't need it yourself?"
"I'm staying here tonight, you still have to take the car back to the house, you always need it on the way." Dai Ruyan stretched out her hand and adjusted the crooked cloak of Li Gongyu's line.
The meticulous movements made Gong Yu blush. After all, after living for so many years, it was really awkward to be taken care of like a child again.
But to a certain extent, Dai Ruyan's looks and personality are too lethal, regardless of age, gender, or age, Gong Yu thought comfortingly.
When the heavy snow arrived, the mansion had already begun to welcome the New Year's Eve with lanterns and lanterns. Gong Yu was lazily nesting in the quilt, and because of her poor body, she was always unable to lift her spirits.
After dawdling until New Year's Eve, I entered the palace gate early by car, but the palace gate was congested, and Gong Yu was sleepy in the carriage holding the heater.
The carriage drove slowly, got off the carriage, and was led by the palace maid to the palace. The strong wind was blowing, and even the goose feather-like snow was blowing on the face and hurting badly.
After entering the palace, it warmed up and took a seat. Gong Yu took off his cloak and sat with his back straight.
The wine, water, melons and fruits in front of him were already filling the entire low table. When the emperor and the empress were present together, Gong Yu, carrying a slightly longer robe, saluted with the princes to congratulate the new year.
During the banquet, singing and dancing kept going, Gong Yu couldn't drink alcohol, so he only tasted some melons and fruits.
Dai Ruyan dressed up to attend, and sat in a position close to the queen. Tai Gongquan happened to be on the side, looking at the two from a distance, they were really talented and beautiful, and they were a match made in heaven.
But Gong Yu was next to the Taifu, and the whole person did not dare to move, for fear of being discussed by the Taifu again.
Of course, this decision is not because Gong Yu is cowardly, but it is because this Taifu is a veteran of the two dynasties, not to mention the highnesses, even the emperor is sometimes afraid of it.
"Little Highness, you look a little more festive and handsome today." Taifu was drinking wine, more amiable than before.
Gong Yu held the teacup in both hands, and saluted respectfully: "Taifu has praised it."
Tai Fu squinted his eyes and drank all the wine, stroked his beard lightly, and seemed to sigh, "When the frontier is in chaos, I don't know how many soldiers of the palace are throwing their heads and blood. This palace banquet is really too extravagant."
"Teacher Mo Worry, the war will definitely be pacified."
"You are still young, you don't know how dangerous it is, that's all."
Gong Yu was holding the tea. Seeing that the Taifu was drinking wine on his own, he had never talked to anyone else. He thought that he was depressed, so he didn't dare to disturb him.
Towards the end of the banquet, there was an urgent report by a soldier, and the vocal music stopped abruptly, only to hear the general's panting and urgent report: "Report, the frontier is urgent, the aliens have broken through the frontier and captured three cities in a row."
Immediately, the atmosphere of the banquet was extremely tense, and I saw the emperor smash the wine glass in his hand to the ground and said in a low voice: "Come here, gather troops and horses, I will lead troops to expedition in person."
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!" The ministers knelt down one after another, and even the princes followed suit.
Gong Yu stared blankly at this scene, and also lowered her body, thinking that being a descendant of the royal family is too much of a test to adapt to her needs.
The banquet dispersed early, the emperor led several generals to hold discussions, and the next day news of the emperor's personal expedition came out.
On the day of the expedition, hundreds of officials saw him off, the crown prince temporarily took charge of the government, and the third and fourth princes accompanied the emperor on the expedition.
The situation in the court is inexplicably delicate, and it is not an easy task to go on an expedition, especially the emperor himself.
Food on the road, soldiers and the uncontrollable nature of the war will affect the final result of a battle.
Time advances to the beginning of spring, the snow melts, and Gong Yu's stature rises, in order not to be revealed as a woman.
He deliberately stayed at the horse farm for more exercise every day, never stopped horseback riding and archery every day, and received the Taifu's recitation and spot check every day for poetry, calligraphy and warfare.
At the beginning of summer, the weather was getting hot, and Gong Yu's little white face was finally tanned.
Dai Ruyan is busy every day, and most of the time Gong Yu can't actually meet him, but one day when Gong Yu was resting in the mansion, Dai Ruyan suddenly came to visit.
Gong Yu was a little caught off guard and sat hurriedly. Seeing Dai Ruyan sitting aside, she asked, "Is there anything today?"
"Um."
I saw Dai Ruyan opened the box put down by the maid, and took out the bottles and jars inside, looking at Gong Yu's face.
The swallows under the eaves screamed, and along with Gong Yu's uneasy heart, they hurriedly asked, "Why... why are you looking at me like this?"
"When your facial features are developed, you are more like a woman, and you have to cover it up."
Dai Ruyan held a fine pen in her hand, leaned forward slightly, her eyes were focused and gentle, Gong Yu didn't dare to move, she just said:
"Are you drawing my eyebrows?"
"Not only thrush, women's makeup is mostly colorful, your facial features, your eyes are the easiest to see through."
"Why?" Gong Yu blinked, leaning against Dai Ruyan slightly.
Dai Ruyan stared hesitantly at Gong Yu's eyes and said in a low voice, "Your eyes are clear and bright. If you were a child, you wouldn't be suspicious, but if you were a man, it would be too clear and clean."
"Doesn't that look good?"
"It's beautiful." Dai Ruyan replied with a light smile, and caressed Gong Yu's cheek with her fingertips.
The movements were gentle and ambiguous, Gong Yu's breathing was stagnant, only to be shaken by the smile, and even the heartbeat was abnormal.
