you look delicious

Chapter 121 Vol 5:17

A few days later, when the dust of An Yulin's funeral had settled, a well-prepared carriage came out of the An Mansion, and slowly left the city. At the same time, Gu Xuanyi received a letter from An Wenqing, and he couldn't wait to open the seal up.

There was only one painting in the envelope that was familiar to Gu Xuanyi, it was the painting he made casually at An Wenqing's house that day, but a blooming amaryllis flower was suspected to be added with cinnabar to the blank space on the side, which was so bright red that it was about to drip. Four columns of small characters are written next to the stalk under the flower: You are the flower, I am the leaf, one body and one branch, never to see each other again.

Gu Xuanyi laughed lowly, grasping the piece of rice paper until it was crushed, as if this was the funniest thing ever, he bent down from laughing, put one hand on the table, and the other tightly grasped the rice paper. The broken painting and his stinging heart: "Okay, I will help you."

Spring, summer, autumn and winter come and go again and again, another year of spring, flowers bloom, and winter passes quietly. How many creatures are buried under the snow, and when the temperature rises and the snow melts, they sprout and revive, and reappear in the world in different postures.

There are so many gossips in Rencheng, but after all, they are no match for time and are gradually forgotten by people.

The busiest place is the Lane of Liuying, where the music and songs are never stopped every night, and the beauties around you are not the same.

During this time, Gu Xuanyi was already a little drunk, and frivolously raised the face of the beauty in his arms: "What do you think, you look better today than yesterday."

Mian Yun shyly pushed him away, and said coquettishly, "Young Master Gu just likes to make fun of, really bad."

Gu Xuanyi raised the corner of his mouth to sneer, and looked out of the window. The grass was growing and the eagles were flying in the February sky. The scenery was beautiful, but it couldn't reach his eyes.

The door was opened, Fang Jianli stood outside the door, his eyes locked on Gu Xuanyi, he quickly stepped into the room and pulled up the person sitting on the straw mat, hating iron for being weak: "Is it interesting to buy drunk all day long?"

Gu Xuanyi toasted him, but Fang Jianli refused to accept it with a cold face, Gu Xuanyi drank it down in one gulp, with an indifferent expression: "I used to look like this, too."

Fang Jianli shook his sleeves, let Gu Xuanyi fall to the ground, and choked: "You know in your heart that everything is different. You used to be really chic and unrestrained, but now, you are just drinking to relieve your worries. Gu Xianzhi, Gu Xianzhi, can a single emotional failure knock you down like this? It seems that your wildness is just superficial, and your heart is so fragile that even I can't match it."

Gu Xuanyi retorted coldly: "I didn't. I just saw it more clearly. The spring is coming, the beauties are so delicate, and the wine shop is mellow. I just want to enjoy myself in time."

"Huh!" Fang Jianli sat aside, saw him drinking again, simply reached out to snatch the wine glass from Gu Xuanyi's hand, put it heavily on the small table, and silently organized the words to speak to Gu Xuanyi, but in the end he couldn't say it. It's a sentence—"He's coming back."

Gu Xuanyi's hand that was about to take back the wine glass paused in mid-air, and then returned to normal: "Oh, it's none of my business."

Fang Jianli carefully observed Gu Xuanyi's reaction: "I'm not talking about other people, but him, the one you've been secretly asking for news about!"

Gu Xuanyi lowered his head, the wine in the wine glass reflected a cloudy reflection, he smiled sadly: "I haven't inquired about it for a long time, now that he's back, it's really none of my business."

An Wenqing had to keep his filial piety for three years, and his and Mu Yingying's marriage was set in two years. They were not husband and wife yet, but to Gu Xuanyi, the ending was set, and it made no difference to him whether it was sooner or later.

Since An Yulin left, An Wenqing couldn't support the expenses of such a large family by himself, and he refused to bow his head and completely attach himself to the Mu family. The An family's life has not been easy this year. Occasionally, Gu Xuanyi will order someone Secretly send some money relief to Anfu in the name of others.

Now, An Wenqing is coming back...

Gu Xuanyi twitched the corner of his mouth, and forced out words: "He was struggling in the capital, why did he come back at this time?"

Fang Jianli knew that Gu Xuanyi's mouth was tough and his heart was soft, and he was still thinking about An Wenqing's life, so he told Gu Xuanyi everything he knew: "He has established a firm foothold in the capital now, if I didn't guess Wrong, when I come back this time, I guess I plan to bring his second mother and younger brother to move back to the capital with the whole family."

Gu Xuanyi couldn't believe it, he looked up at Fang Jianli: "The Mu family finally helped him?"

"How can it be? Everyone knows that he is the future son-in-law of the Mu family. Some people support him, but others secretly obstruct him. He is not the kind of material in the officialdom. He has so many ridiculous things. Even if Mu Shangshu is a big His ability is nothing more than a courtier who rushes to help, but nothing good will come of it." Fang Jianli said these things that Gu Xuanyi understood, but he was hesitating whether to say the next thing or not, and he was choosing his words, "But... … Foreign ministers are not easy to help, if the emperor's relatives and relatives take action, there is nothing that can't be done, and mud can support the wall."

Gu Xuanyi obviously didn't believe it: "The emperor's relatives? He is the head of the Ministry of Rites, what kind of royal children can he make friends with?"

Fang Jianli sighed: "Five years ago, Prince Yan, who had been demented since he was a child, suffered a serious illness. After recovering from the illness, his temperament changed drastically, and he was extremely intelligent. He became the most beloved son of the current Holy Majesty."

"..." Gu Xuanyi thought about it and still couldn't figure it out, "Ziyan doesn't know how to follow others, he has never met Prince Yan, and he has no outstanding ability, how can he be praised by Prince Yan."

Fang Jianli looked at Gu Xuanyi, and said slowly: "Everyone in the capital is arguing about the reason, and they are just as puzzled as you, but...there is a rumor that makes sense." He paused, and then said , "An Wenqing, I am afraid that he has become a servant of Prince Yan."

"Impossible!" Gu Xuanyi immediately retorted excitedly, "Ziyan has a marriage contract with Mu Yingying, since he has set up this marriage, how can he be ambiguous with other men!"

Fang Jianli told Gu Xuanyi a well-known story in the capital. Although it has been partially exaggerated and distorted through word of mouth, the general story is still true:

The sacrificial ceremony that An Wenqing and other officials were in charge of went wrong. Regardless of whether An Wenqing was responsible or not, he was pushed out to take responsibility. It just so happened that Prince Yan's order from the Holy Lord was determined to thoroughly investigate the matter, so he summoned An Wenqing Let him explain the whole story, give him a chance to justify.

It was a matter of life, so An Wenqing informed Prince Yu Yan of all the secret operations and bribery he saw in the Ministry of Rites.

An Wenqing escaped under the guarantee of Prince Yan. Although he made enemies in the court, but fortunately Prince Yan did not cross the river and demolish the bridge.

There was nothing wrong with this matter at first, but... An Wenqing was often summoned by Prince Yan to the Prince's mansion, staying in the mansion for two or three days and not returning all night, what's more, a certain minister who went to visit Prince Yan Seeing Prince Yan sleeping peacefully with An Wenqing's knee as a pillow.

There are various indications that the relationship between Prince Yan and An Wenqing is impure.

"Heh..." Gu Xuanyi looked out of the window, and the wind blew off a few flowers on the branches, "Even if he really... really has an affair with Prince Yan, it has nothing to do with me."

He lowered his eyes and only focused on drinking, but the wine in the glass became more and more tasteless, so he threw it aside angrily, and got up: "I'm going back."

Looking at his back that was pretending to be strong, Fang Jianli shouted loudly: "No accident, he should be back in three days!"

Gu Xuanyi walked forward on his own, as if he didn't hear what Fang Jianli said.

Three days later, in a hidden place in the alley outside the Anfu residence, Gu Xuanyi quietly hid behind the wall, watching the An family members waiting for An Wenqing's sedan chair to land at the gate of the Anfu.

Even though An Wenqing didn't like An Wenqing before, now that the other party is in an official position, the second mother, Chen Bi and You Rongyan, brought their own son and waited at the door. Soon, a group of people appeared on the street surrounded by very luxurious sedan chairs, Spectacular and lively came to Anfumen.

Chen Bi looked at the expensive decorations on the sedan chair and was speechless. An Yulin never sat in such a beautiful and gorgeous sedan chair when he was still in an official position. It seems that An Wenqing really did well in the capital.

An Wenqing got off the car, and instead of going to salute Chen Bi, she turned around and saluted into the sedan chair: "My lord, it's time to get off the sedan chair."

"Yeah." A lazy male voice came from inside, the curtain was lifted, and the young man in a luxurious gold silk purple robe looked at the house behind An Wenqing and complained, "It's finally here."

An Wenqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Weichen told you earlier that the roads in the small town are remote and bumpy."

"I'm tired of seeing the hustle and bustle of the capital, so I came here because of curiosity." Prince Yan got out of the car, swept the crowd away, and smiled, "This is the first time I've seen no one kneel down to greet you."

An Wenqing panicked, and hurriedly made an apology and pleaded guilty: "The lord's decision was hasty, and I haven't had time to tell my family that the lord will come. They are all rustic people and have never learned these etiquettes."

After all, he wanted everyone to kneel down and make amends, but Prince Yan waved his hand to stop him: "Forget it, those who don't know are not guilty, and this king is not such a small-hearted person who sticks to etiquette. I'm tired, An Shilang, please invite me soon." Come in and sit down?"

An Wenqing took Prince Yan to find a clean house to live in first, and then quickly ordered his second wife and servants to treat Prince Yan well, and handed over the security of An's house to the guards accompanying the prince.

Outside, Gu Xuanyi was still standing there stupidly, lonely and miserable, how could he not have seen An Wenqing talking and laughing happily with that man, guessed who it was, and thought it was extremely ridiculous.

If he was also a member of the royal family and possessed supreme power, would An Yulin still forcibly separate him and An Wenqing like that?Gu Xuanyi felt that An Yulin would not know it, let alone dared to.

He turned around and wanted to leave, but within a few steps, he leaned against the wall and covered his chest, obviously it wouldn't hurt anymore, obviously it had been a long time since he hadn't had pain, why did he start to feel faint pain again after seeing An Wenqing.

However, what's ridiculous is that he is so distressed by the needles here, the person inside doesn't know it, and may even be smiling gently, and never feels heartache just because he occasionally thinks of him.

Laughing softly, Gu Xuanyi murmured to himself: "Back then, why couldn't you be firmer and not provoke him..."
