The King of Jinan passed away. After all, he was the previous emperor. He had to make a funeral announcement to the current emperor before he could continue to prepare for the funeral.
Gao Yan naturally expressed regret on the surface, but in fact he was very happy because he was the one who sent someone to do it. Since someone came to report the funeral, he, the emperor, had to send someone to Jinan to offer condolences, but no one in this deposed emperor was willing to go there in a thankless way. No matter whether he was really unwilling or was afraid of being implicated, no one was willing to go.
Gongsun Yu took the initiative to request to go to Jinan to see the King of Jinan on his last journey. This was a hot potato. Originally, Gao Yan was hesitant about who to send to Jinan. Since Gongsun Yu requested it, the emperor was naturally willing for him to lead the royal family to condolences to the family members.
Gongsun Yu knew that Qiqi had always wanted the Netherworld Lotus. Anyway, he was still obsessed with Bei Qi now. Even if he kept the Netherworld Lotus, he would not use it again. He might as well give the Netherworld Lotus to Qiqi. It was also the Netherworld Lotus that brought Qiqi here. .
It was also announced that the scriptures had been translated and Qiqi was no longer the translator of Gongsun Mansion.
Gongsun Yu gave the Netherworld Lotus to Qiqi and said, "You originally came to Gongsun Mansion for the Netherworld Lotus. Now I give it to you..."
How reluctant I am to give up!
Qiqi was so happy that she couldn't believe it. Are you giving this to me? Take the Netherworld Lotus, this is indeed true!
Gongsun Yu looked at the ecstatic Qi Qi, but he felt pain in his heart. He knew that Qi Qi approached him because of this Netherworld Lotus, but now that she got what she wanted, would she naturally leave quickly? Deliberately strong and calm "When are you going to leave?"
Qiqi blurted out, "Of course, the faster, the better..." Looking at Gongsun Yu, how affectionately was he looking at her? I felt a pain in my heart, so I changed my mind and said, "Wait a few days. Didn't you apply with the emperor to send the King of Jinan on his last journey? Or wait until you come back..." He asked tentatively.
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Gongsun Yu say, "Think about it for yourself. You can leave at any time." In fact, Gongsun Yu didn't expect her to leave in such a hurry. He pretended to be calm and let her think for herself.
"Do you know how to get back?" I still couldn't help but ask.
"Just choose a suitable day when yin and yang meet, visualize where you want to go, tell the time and place, and then you can go back..." She felt happy just thinking about being able to go back and see her parents, thinking about how beautiful they looked at her. My daughter, I definitely don’t believe it, my God! I can be beautiful without plastic surgery. The more I think about it, the happier I am. Seeing the disappointed Gongsun Yu, he suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave so soon?
Gongsun Yu looked at the happy Qiqi. Is she really in such a hurry to leave? There is no thing or person here that she misses? My heart was suddenly filled with ice.
Gongsun Yu couldn't help but asked deliberately, "I was in a hurry when I came back from Yingzhou last time, and I didn't take you to have fun. This time, after the funeral of King Jinan is over, I can take you to see the scenery..."
Qiqi seemed to be willing to go to Jinan with Gongsun Yu's arrangement.
"Didn't you say you liked sightseeing when you came back from Yingzhou last time? If given the chance, I would like to take you to travel around the world and see all the mountains and rivers."
Qiqi's heart was touched. She didn't dare to agree to Gongsun Yu's words. At this moment, she hesitated...
Gongsun Yu knew that Qiqi had him in her heart, but Qiqi didn't dare to accept his love because she wanted to return to her parents! I can't be too selfish because I won't let Qiqi go back because of my love.
Yecheng was hundreds of kilometers away from Jinan. The road was not so smooth at that time. Gongsun Yu ordered people to speed up and prepare the necessary items for the road and set off the next day.
Tan Weike knew that Gongsun Yu was going to Jinan, so Qiqi followed him. She repeatedly asked her parents for permission to go to Jinan, but her father did not agree. He felt that it was inconvenient for a girl to go out, let alone an unpopular deposed emperor.
My mother also disagreed. She felt that the journey was far and there would be hardships along the way.
Tan Weike comforted her mother and said, "Brother Yu is a person who values emotions. Last time Qiqi went to Yingzhou, my daughter didn't go, so Brother Yu and Qian Qiqi got along day and night, which strengthened their relationship. If I go this time, I will I have known brother He Yu since we were young, and he will definitely treat me better than Qian Qiqi."
Her mother couldn't stand her pleading, but she agreed with her idea, thinking that this way she could get along with Gongsun Yu day and night, and help Gongsun Yu change his attitude towards his daughter. Dozens of people were sent to protect Tan Weike all the way, and they even went to Gongsun Mansion to ask Gongsun Yu to take care of Tan Weike all the way.
Xia Zhunei stayed in Gongsun Mansion before his injuries recovered.
Gongsun Yu, Luan Yue and Qiqi took a few followers, while Tan Wei brought dozens of people for protection, and the team of nearly a hundred people set off.
Because they were going to attend the funeral, they hurried to Jinan. In ancient times, death was more complicated. The king of Jinan was a prince and had to sacrifice every seven days until the end of the forty-nine days and then be buried.
Therefore, when Gongsun Yu and others arrived in Jinan, the funeral was not over yet. Gongsun Yu observed filial piety as scheduled until the funeral was over.
The weather was getting colder and the river was prone to freezing, so Gongsun Yu had to return to Beijing after the funeral.
Since Gongsun Yu arrived in Jinan, he has been observing filial piety for the king of Jinan these days. After the burial, Gongsun Yu hardly said much.
Qiqi and Tan Weike both knew that Gongsun Yu was feeling uncomfortable, and Tan Weike tried his best to comfort Gongsun Yu.
Qiqi knows that Gongsun Yu understands everything and knows the fate of Northern Qi. Even if he can't get over the obsession in his heart, he doesn't try to persuade him and just cooperates silently. Gongsun Yu knows Qiqi's character, and it's great to be able to accompany him in such a silent way. move.
After the King of Jinan was buried, Gongsun Yu and others left Jinan on their way back to Beijing. It snowed heavily, so they had to stay at an inn.
Tan Weike felt a little chilly due to the cold, so Gongsun Yu called a doctor for him. After seeing him, the doctor said he was fine and prescribed a few medicines and said he would be cured if he took them on time.
Gongsun Yu asked Luan Yue to get the medicine, and also told Tan Weike's maid Yingqiao to pay attention. After all, when she came to Jinan, she promised Lou to take care of her daughter.
Tan Weike felt very happy when she saw Gongsun Yu caring about her, and happily listened to Gongsun Yu's instructions on the bed.
Tan Weike just wanted Yingqiao to bring Gongsun Yu a stool and wanted him to stay a little longer.
Qiqi came into the house at this time and said that it was snowing very thickly outside, and asked Gongsun Yu to accompany her to build a snowman.
Gongsun Yu said it was cold outside and knew that Qiqi was weak, so he wouldn't let her go.
Tan Weike felt that Qiqi was doing something unnecessary and wondered how Gongsun Yu could go with her. He glanced at Qiqi to see how Gongsun Yu would reject her.
Qiqi actually pulled Gongsun Yu out of the house?
Tan Weike got off the bed angrily. Why did Qiqi forcefully pull Brother Yu away just as he felt very happy with him? Last time I went to Plum Grove Garden, this time I was sick...
Tan Weike lost his temper in the room, feeling that he didn't need to take medicine and had endless energy in his body.
Gongsun Yu was pulled by Qiqi to the open space outside the inn. The open land was covered with thick snow.
Gongsun Yu was very repelled by Qiqi's childish behavior at first, but Qiqi seriously and sincerely pulled him to build a snowman together. Qiqi urged Gongsun Yu while piling up snow.
Gongsun Yu knew that Qi Qi was cold and was afraid that she would be cold, so he piled it on slowly and reluctantly. Although he was reluctant and slow, he still did it. The two made a snowman together. It seemed like they were working together for the first time. Happy!
After Qiqi and Gongsun Yu finished piling, Qiqi deliberately rolled the remaining snow into a ball and threw it on Gongsun Yu. Gongsun Yu grabbed the snowball and seemed to understand.
But would he have a snowball fight with Qiqi like this?
This is simply child's play...
"It's just you and me here. It's so cold. No one will come. Even if someone comes, no one will know who you are."
Gongsun Yu still couldn't stand Qi Qi's persuasion, so the two had a snowball fight together. Gongsun Yu hadn't played so wantonly for a long time, until both of them were covered with snow. Gongsun Yu went over to pat the snow off Qi Qi's body. Look, Holding Qiqi's red and swollen hands, knowing that Qiqi was trying to please herself, she felt distressed and grabbed Qiqi's cold hands, held them in her palms, and said, "Qiqi, thank you..."
Both of them knew that after returning to Beijing, they might not have the chance to see each other again, so no one said anything, and they tried to spend as much time with each other as possible, just stay with each other, or maybe let the other party stay with them.
Qiqi saw that although Gongsun Yu was not smiling, his brows were relaxed a lot, and she knew that he might feel better.
Gongsun Yu wanted to say, Qiqi should stay, but the words still didn't come out. Maybe he felt it was cruel to say it. After all, it means that Qiqi will cut off contact with her parents from now on.
Qiqi's stomach growled a few times.
Gongsun Yu said, "It's getting late, why don't you go in and have some food?"
"I'm not going..." He was thinking about eating and saw Tan Weike's jealous eyes looking at him. He was unhappy. He glanced at Gongsun Yu and said, "Shall we go out to eat?"
"Okay!" Gongsun Yu didn't know whether Qiqi didn't like Tan Weike, or whether he just went out to eat with him.
Entering the inn, Gongsun Yu asked Luan Yue to add some charcoal to Qiqi's hand stove, and asked Qiqi to change into a pair of clean cotton boots. Qiqi carried the hand stove and Gongsun Yu to the market.
"Fire roasting, fried cakes, mutton soup..." the shop owner yelled.
"Let's drink something hot." Qiqi said and sat down with Gongsun Yu.
The two ordered Huo Shao and mutton soup. Qi Qi ate the Huo Shao and said, "Yeah. It's delicious! The Huo Shao here is still delicious. It's authentic and tastes like this!"
"Do you like the huoshao here?" He said and took a huoshao to eat.
"You know, a man came here later. Everyone called him King Lanling. He was handsome in both civil and military affairs. He was one of the four most handsome men in history. They all said that their old Gao family had handsome men and beautiful women. Thinking about Gao Yan and Gao Zhan, they were already very handsome. Especially Gao Zhan, his appearance is really delicate and handsome, how handsome is that Prince of Lanling?"
Qiqi obviously saw that Gongsun Yu was a little jealous? He quickly said, "Gao Zhan is good-looking, but the rest is really not good. He will be extremely luxurious when he becomes the emperor in the future." Seeing that Gongsun Yu still didn't speak, he added, "Gao Yan is not bad in appearance. He has both ability and political integrity, but his life is not good." It’s long! It’s better to live longer.” He said and handed Gongsun Yu a clove of garlic.
Gongsun Yu didn't answer, and Qiqi added, "Eating meat but not garlic will reduce the nutrition by half. It would be best if you are healthy, handsome, good at both civil and military skills, and can be liked by girls."
This rainbow fart…
If others were too lazy to listen, Gongsun Yu didn't want to miss a single word from Qiqi's mouth.
Qiqi still held up the garlic. Gongsun Yu knew that this was a compliment to him, but he didn't eat raw garlic, especially the smell after eating it... Seeing that Qiqi still held it up with a smile, he reluctantly took it.
Qiqi added, "It would be even more perfect if you could not be afraid of onions, peppers, and garlic!"
Gongsun Yu knew that Qiqi could praise him so much, and he was very happy, but he really couldn't eat raw garlic. He handed the garlic to Qiqi and said, "You can eat it anytime in the future!"
"Haha! You said this!" Qiqi took it and bit it.
Gongsun Yu seems to know that he has been fooled? Yes, he once said that he would not eat anything that smelled bad in his mouth.
"If you like...eat in front of me every day...that's fine."
Qiqi understood Gongsun Yu's words and couldn't bear to see Gongsun Yu looking directly at her. She didn't dare to let herself take it too seriously for fear of changing her mind. Gongsun Yu knew that the countdown was the same, so he couldn't help but keep looking at her when he was with Qiqi.
