Fortunately, no matter how long the road was, there would always be a time when it reached the end. The people in front had stopped. Mo Lanyue looked up and saw that they were taken to a place called Blood Lotus Pavilion.
The name sounded like it was a small attic, but when I walked in, I realized that it was no different from an ordinary palace. There were dozens of rooms, which were more than enough for them to live in.
"You guys have been tired from traveling today, so you should take a rest in the afternoon. I will order someone to take you to see the two old ghosts Gu Mo and Gu Feng in the evening. Speaking of which, it seems that this is the first time for us to meet these two sons of yours, hehe...
It was quite noisy at night.”
When Gu Yue said this to Gu Lei, her eyes glanced at Gu Lieqing and Gu Liefeng beside him from time to time. The look in their eyes as they looked at the fun toys made them confused. They wondered what kind of medicine he was selling when he was a gourd.
In the Blood Lotus Pavilion, the emperor chose the room first, then Gu Lieqing, Gu Lieyang, and Gu Liefeng in order. The accompanying personal attendants like Mo Lanyue were all in the room next to the prince he followed.
Stay. But the rooms of the three princes are not far apart, so it doesn't really matter where the attendants live.
"Lanyue, come to my room."
In front of everyone, Gu Lieyang waved to Mo Lanyue, then turned and entered the room.
Mo Lanyue was hit in the face by dozens of looks, and she was really suffocating. Gu Lieyang definitely did this on purpose, and she didn't know where she offended him.
Gu Lieyang walked into the room unhappy, and Gu Lieyang, who was already lying on the bed, whispered, "Close the door and come here."
Mo Lanyue followed the instructions one by one and squatted in front of his bed, as if waiting for a critically ill relative.
"Come up."
"Gah?"
Gu Lieyang lay flat on the bed with his eyes squinted. When he spoke, his tone was soft and he looked very tired.
It was just his two short words that really confused her. She froze in front of the bed and did not do what he said.
"I'll let you come up. Or do you want to go over there and sleep with Nangong Yin?"
Gu Lieyang opened his eyes and glanced at her impatiently, but couldn't bear the surging sleepiness and closed his eyes again.
What? There are still many empty rooms in the Blood Lotus Pavilion, okay?
Mo Lanyue was secretly unhappy. There should be no need to worry about his safety in a place like this. The other attendants shared a room with each other. She thought she could have a room to herself.
When her eyes touched Gu Lieyang's slightly frowned brow and a new fine line on his forehead, the words she wanted to object to came to her lips and she swallowed them alive.
She took off her shoes and socks, climbed to the inside of the bed, lifted a corner of the quilt, and got in.
Lying side by side with Gu Lieyang, she had never slept together like this in the past few years. The last time she had probably done it was when she was on her way to the Blue Wind Country to attend the princess's wedding.
As soon as she got into bed, Gu Lieyang immediately changed from lying on his back to lying on his side. He stretched out one hand under the quilt, put it on her waist, and brought her close to him. She may not have expected that he would make this move, and bump into her head on.
The impact on his chest made my forehead turn red, and I grinned and was embarrassed to say that it hurt.
"With you accompanying me, I'm not alone at last."
Gu Lieyang murmured in a low voice, Mo Lanyue pressed her forehead against his chest, and her heart suddenly calmed down.
She suddenly raised her face, winked at Gu Lieyang and said, "Sleeping with me is very expensive."
Her head was rubbed hard and then pushed back to her chest. She felt his heart beating vigorously.
"It doesn't matter, I can afford it."
Gu Lieyang just hugged Mo Lanyue and fell asleep peacefully. He put aside everything outside the room for the time being. He was really too tired. If he didn't get a good rest, it would be difficult to resist the bad taste of the imperial uncles at night. But every time he closed his eyes,
When he closed his eyes, Guleg's face would appear in his mind, and it was difficult for him to control himself. Habits are a terrible thing. He hadn't gotten used to the departure of his fifth brother, but he had become accustomed to Mo Lanyue's silent comfort.
Even if she didn't say a word, he felt at ease with her by his side.
Gu Lieyang slept for a few hours. Although Mo Lanyue also fell asleep during this period, she woke up soon after and was rubbed tightly in her arms like a pillow. It was quite warm for a short while.
Yes, as time passed, she couldn't move and gradually began to feel some pain.
Seeing Gu Lieyang's peaceful sleeping face, she couldn't bear to disturb him, so she could only suffer herself and continued to count the passage of time silently in the same posture.
"Well..."
Seeing that there was no light outside, it seemed that lights were starting to be lit outside, and the sound of someone talking could be vaguely heard. Gu Lieyang woke up at this moment and looked at Mo Mo, who was still huddled in his arms.
Lan Yue, he couldn't help but hold the corners of her lips and gave her a satisfied smile.
"It's rare to have a good night's sleep. It's time to cheer up."
Seeing that he had regained his energy, Mo Lanyue felt relieved. She hadn't seen him smile in the past half month. His face had always been sullen, and even fine lines had appeared. Now she finally knew how to smile. She should feel it.
It's gratifying.
The two of them walked out of the room at the same time, and when they walked around the hall, they found that everyone was sitting neatly in the hall drinking tea, except for them.
Gu Lieyang saluted Gu Lei with a calm expression and walked to his seat. Mo Lanyue lowered his head and followed closely, for fear of being asked anything by them.
"Did Third Emperor Brother sleep well? It's very close to the time for the evening meeting. I originally thought that if Third Emperor Brother didn't come out, I would order someone to call you."
"I'm sorry, my dear brother, I'm worried that I didn't sleep well last night, so I want to take advantage of the afternoon to get some more sleep to refresh myself so that I can deal with my uncles' curiosity."
In front of Gu Lei, Gu Lieyang spoke much more measuredly. Among the three princes, he was the only one who attended the clan conference with his father twice. He will never forget the first time he was taken there by his father.
When he participated in the clan meeting, he almost lost his life due to the unscrupulous competition set by them. In the end, he failed to win back any reputation for his father. With the lesson learned from that time, he has been working hard to learn from his studies since returning to the palace.
, improve his abilities in all aspects, even if they ask him to embroider to make a needlework, he can still embroider a few decent stitches.
As someone who had participated twice, he still had lingering fears. If Gu Lieqing and Gu Liefeng were not nervous for the first time, he would not believe it.
"This time it is important to discuss Cai Ying. We will definitely not play the same way as before, but you should be mentally prepared. Even if you don't play so well, it will be enough for you. Hahahaha..."
Gu Lei looked like he was gloating about his misfortune. Mo Lanyue listened on the side and finally understood why Gu Lege always said before that his father was a demon king. His son might have been teased and tortured, but he could still laugh so heartily.
She really doesn't understand.
Since it was just a family gathering, general attendants were not allowed to go there, but Gu Lieyang insisted on taking Mo Lanyue with him. In order to distinguish his identity, Mo Lanyue simply changed into women's clothes and followed Gu Lieyang like a little daughter-in-law.
Beside Yang.
In the main hall of the Taihe Palace of the Blood Moon Palace, a group of royal family members gathered together, and the people sitting were all men. This clan meeting was not like the previous competitions. The princesses couldn't come even if they wanted to. Mo Lanyue was the same as the palace maids.
Standing next to Gu Lieyang sadly, she looked like a personal maid.
While these people were busy chatting, Mo Lanyue counted her fingers idly. She was so bored that she began to observe the young princes present one by one.
"Alas?"
As she looked at it, she actually saw a familiar person, a person who could never appear here, sitting on the seat of Prince Jin Mo. She couldn't help but exclaimed, while bending down to whisper in Gu Lieyang's ear.
Bian whispered, "Your Highness, Third Highness, look up at the handsome Prince opposite, do you recognize him?"
Gu Lieyang looked over as he was told. When he looked at the face carefully, he shook his head, "I haven't seen him at the clan meeting before, but... he is the one who saved you?"
Although he couldn't see clearly at that time from a distance, he still remembered the general outline. Plus she asked about it proactively, so he guessed that she must have seen someone he knew.
"Yeah, didn't you see me in Lanyue Tower later, and a few days ago..."
Mo Lanyue stared at the handsome man sitting opposite her in confusion. The man seemed not to have noticed her yet, and was looking at her fathers chatting with a smile.
Jun Ziyang, isn't he the second master of the Yang Family Fort? He is a bandit. How come he suddenly transformed into the prince of Jin Mo? It's really unbelievable.
"Have you seen me a few days ago? Where was it?"
Gu Lieyang asked lightly, his eyes drifting to the man opposite again, and he met him again and again. If it was really fate, it would be too much of a coincidence.
"He is also in the imperial city. It seems to me that he has not left the Purple Thunder Kingdom for a long time. I thought he was from the Blue Wind Kingdom, but I didn't expect that he is the prince of Jin Mo."
The two of them gathered in a group and whispered, while the four middle-aged men at the host table above were chatting happily and bursting into hearty laughter from time to time. Little did they know that the juniors below were nervously waiting for them.
Punishment'. Most of the people who came to attend the meeting have heard about or experienced the powerful shock given by these four brothers. All kinds of strange requests came out of their mouths, and it seemed to become normal. Even for them in the winter
If I ask you to take off your clothes and run wildly in the snow, you must do the same.
I just don’t know what tricks they will come up with this year.
Mo Lanyue felt very puzzled by their behavior of not treating her son as a son and basing their own happiness on the pain of others.
Finally, when the emperors had finished chatting, they each began to introduce their sons. After all, many of them were new faces. Even if they had met before, it had already been four years. They might as well introduce themselves one by one, so that everyone was familiar with them.
Get to know each other quickly.
When it was Jun Ziyang's turn, Mo Lanyue listened to him most seriously.
"Junior Guyang, ranked second, has met all my uncles."
As soon as Jun Ziyang opened his mouth, he attracted a lot of attention. Firstly, he was a stranger to everyone. Secondly, his appearance was so outstanding that he almost surpassed all the princes. If there was a beauty comparison, I am afraid no one could surpass him.
