Bone china

Getting closer and closer, the distance between him and him is getting closer and closer, the ten years of hard waiting, as if the moment he called out his name, became extremely worthwhile...

"Jingci." He stopped behind him, although he was still panting, he smiled beautifully.

The man in front of him was also slightly taken aback, then stopped in his tracks.

He thought he would turn around like he thought, and he was expecting that scene, but he didn't, and there was a harsh sarcasm from his father-in-law.

"What are you? How dare you call our lord Jin Zun by his name. Don't think it's a big deal that the queen gave you a title at the feast tonight. You know, in this harem, the highest status is our Jin Zun." Honor your lord."

"Lord Jin Zun?" Gu Yao didn't understand the titles in the palace, and just said to himself, "I don't know what Lord Jin Zun is, and no matter what his status is, all I know is that he is Gongshu Jingci, and he is The person I'm looking for." Looking at Jingci's back, Gu Yao said expectantly, "Jingci, do you know that I have waited ten years for that agreement, and now I finally see you..." As he spoke, he grabbed his hand with excitement.

"Bold!" the father-in-law shouted immediately.

And in the blink of an eye, his strength threw him out violently.

"Jingci..." Gu Yao managed to stand still, but he was about to go forward again, but the voice made him flinch.

"I don't know you, and we have nothing to do with each other. If you continue to entangle, don't blame me for being rude." Jingci said, and strode out.

……

But Gu Yao remembered that this night, he never looked at himself from the beginning to the end. This night was not only the most drunken time in his life, but also the most heartbreaking time in his life.

Because, he finally experienced an unprecedented emotion, which poured out like a flood at the moment he threw himself away, and he finally understood why he had been thinking about him for so many years, why he would risk his life for him Go to the Dishui Temple and do so many things for him that he doesn't know...

It turned out that it was the love that I had always vaguely understood in my heart, and because of this night, I completely understood it.

He was so drunk that night that he didn't wake up until the morning of the next day, and the maid and father-in-law in Zhaoyang Palace were already in a hurry. Wake up before this, otherwise the entire Zhaoyang Palace will be questioned.

"Xiaolan, quickly bring the hangover soup." A father-in-law commanded methodically in the room, "Suxin, go and bring the hot water. And you, prepare the tea."

This father-in-law is the close-knit father-in-law assigned to Gu Yao by his superiors, his surname is An, and he is called 'Eunuch An'. He is quite old, and he looks quite honest and sincere, but he often speaks with a bit of an old urchin funny.

……

Everything was ready, waiting for Gu Yao to get up, and the moment he got up from the bed, everyone in the room rushed up as if seeing hope.

"Beauty, your tea."

"Beauty, your hangover soup."

"Beauty, your face wash."

He pressed his eyebrows, he hadn't recovered from the drunkenness last night, but he heard a group of people chattering in his ears, so he sighed, "You guys are so noisy."

"Beauty, it's almost time for lunch. His Majesty has announced that you will go to the Wanfu Palace for dinner. You must not be late, or His Majesty will be angry and kill us all." Seriously.

"Beheaded?" Gu Yao shook his head vigorously, "So serious?"

"Isn't it..." Xiaolan lowered her voice as she spoke, "Our Majesty is notoriously cruel and ruthless. Those who accompany her are always in fear, because when they can't tell, they will move their heads. It’s home. A few days ago, I heard that a few more people died, it’s really scary.”

"Xiao Lan, don't talk about it. Be careful not to be overheard by others, your head will move." Su Xin said, "Hurry up and wait for the beauty to wash and change her clothes."

Gu Yao finally opened those extremely heavy eyes.

Eunuch An just came in at this moment, and said in a panic, "Hurry up, the sedan chair is about to leave the door, hurry up."

"Hey, Eunuch An didn't see you anxious just now, why are you so anxious now?" Xiaolan couldn't help teasing.

"I was not in a hurry just now, but I can't be in a hurry, but now, when I see this, the queen's sedan chair, my legs are so frightened."

Right now, only Gu Yao still has a relaxed look on his face, "Don't worry, if His Majesty blames you, I will take care of it for you."

"Oh, my beauty, you have just entered this harem, and the water here is deep. Your Majesty does appreciate you very much, but you have to be careful, and if you offend her, she will not show mercy " Eunuch An said earnestly while helping him change his clothes.

"It's done, put on that jade crown."

Su Xin took the jade crown, and Eunuch An put it on Gu Yao's head squarely, and everyone sent him out. Before leaving, Eunuch An still whispered in his ear, "Remember Ah, don't make His Majesty angry, learn to observe words and actions."

"Understood, Eunuch An." Gu Yao smiled, then turned and got on the sedan chair.

Until now, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

And the sedan chair, after going through the roundabouts in the palace, finally stopped outside the door of Wanfu Palace. Just as Gu Yao came out of it, he saw a person in a blink of an eye.

Gongshu Jingci, who was standing in front of him, obviously just arrived, a father-in-law took advantage of this moment to come out unhurriedly, "Lord Jin Zun, Miss Haruka, Lord Yin Zun has arrived, you guys Both of you hurry up and go in."

As the father-in-law spoke, he led the way, while Guyao and Jingci walked behind him side by side. The journey was neither long nor short, and he was always thinking about how to speak to him even a word, but his face was too stern. It was so stern that every time he looked at it, all those words were stuck in his throat.

He remembered that the former Jingci loved to laugh, but why is he so serious now? When we met again, he found that he seemed to have changed in the past ten years.

The door was pushed open, and the father-in-law walked in and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, Lord Jin Zun and Miss Yaomei have arrived."

"Hurry up and grant your seat." The queen was still sitting at the front of the main hall. "Today, I will announce the three of you. Besides eating together, there is another important thing to announce."

While talking, the two had already sat down. According to the rules, Jin Zun and Yin Zun should sit on the right side because of their noble status, while Gu Yao sat alone on the left side because he just entered the palace, just facing Jingci.

After everyone sat down, the queen continued, "This king will be 28 years old this year. According to the royal family's rules, it is the age of the queen, and this king has carefully considered it. The queen will come from among the three of you." Choose, do you three have any objections?"

As soon as the words fell, Guyao saw Jingci's face darken severely, and he turned his head to look at the queen again. Just when he was about to say something, Yin Zun Bai Yi spoke.

"Your Majesty, we naturally dare not have this objection, but over the years, the Jin Zun has always been the seat of succession. It would be good for His Majesty to give the seat directly to the Jin Zun. Why should we choose among us?"

"Your Majesty." Gu Yao took Bai Yi's words, "Gu Yao first entered the palace, and you appreciated the title of beauty, so I dare not ask for more, let alone this supreme queen."

After hearing this, the queen showed a displeased expression, "Are you all going to violate this king's will? Although you have passed on the successor to Jin Zun over the years, that's not the rule, and this king doesn't have to do it Besides, this king is going to be famous in history for generations to come, so he will naturally do things differently from others, and my queen is definitely not a dragon among men, a courageous and insightful person."

"Then how can one be considered a dragon among men, a man of courage and insight?" Bai Yi asked.

The queen took a sip of the wine in her glass and said, "Good question. This is the test I'm going to talk about next. There is a forbidden place behind this deep palace, called 'The Way of Netherworld'."

"The Nether Dao?" Bai Yi's tone was clearly showing some fear, "Your Majesty, this Nether Dao is a forbidden place in the palace. For so many years, no one has ever..."

"What? Bai Yi, don't you dare?" The queen's words were stern, "I chose you, but did I miss you? So you're just that cowardly rat?"

"That's not the case." Bai Yi immediately explained, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Anyway, you are also the descendant of the immortal family. I'm afraid it won't be your turn, but Guyao." The queen's gaze fell on him, "Although you are from Yuqiong, you are just a dancer and don't know Taoism, but you are a The king believes in your wisdom, you know, my rule is that the three of you enter the Nether Dao together, break through together, and the first person to come out in the end will be the queen, so it doesn't matter if you know Taoism or not."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Gu Yao will definitely do his best." In desperation, he could only respond in this way.

"Well, very good." The queen nodded, "It's just that life and death are fate, if you can't get out, you can't blame the king, do you understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The three spoke in unison.

Hearing such an answer, the queen was finally happy, "April is the king's birthday, in March you all go to the Netherworld, so that the king can announce the queen's choice on the birthday."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Again in unison.

"Haha, my dear friends are really obedient, let's have a drink with this king soon."

……

Cups were mixed, wine and meat were drunk, and the time was approaching, the three of them finally walked out of the Wanfu Palace, and along the way, Guyao never said a word to Jingci, remembering the initial intimacy, and seeing the present. There is an unbreakable gap between the two of them, but Gu Yao still can't see clearly what that gap is.
