"I'm sorry, Miss Fei'er. I have little talent and little knowledge. It's true that I don't live up to my reputation. I don't have any works to show for it."
Gu Lan shied away with great seriousness.
But looking at Xiao Huakui, he felt a little confused... Why did he always feel like this woman knew something?
His straightforward words made Xiao Feier completely choked and speechless!
Only today did she realize that a man who is not interested in you can be so ruthless in rejecting him!
You have obviously written so many story books, but I am willing to let you play with them, but you are not willing to take them out...
"Your Majesty's vision is indeed correct. It's just me who worries too much."
Xiao Feier bit her lip and secretly said to herself that she could feel relieved now.
But for no reason, I still felt a little disappointed.
At this time!
Gu Lan saw that her mood was low, so she stood up and said, "Since Miss Fei'er is fine, I'll take my leave..."
Snap!
The last word has not been spoken yet.
A book fell out of Gu Lan's arms and fell to the ground.
Astonishingly, it was the "Three Hundred Poems" that he had not finished writing in the past two days!
So embarrassing...
The silence in the Xiang Pavilion is extremely quiet!
Concubine Xiao: "..."
She looked at Gu Lan in surprise with her watery eyes, a little unbelievable... This guy really had something good to hide, did he really have no desire to show off like she did?
For the first time in so many years, she felt depressed!
But Concubine Xiao looked at the exquisitely bound book of poems and thought that Gu Lan could write such a beautiful book of poems... and she felt a little itchy that she was not up to par!
These are all poems written by Gu Lan.
If it is as famous as Liu Yexi said, then it would be nice to take a look at it!
"Ahem..."
Gu Lan silently picked it up and stuffed it back into his arms as if nothing had happened.
Concubine Xiao couldn't help it anymore: "Mr. Gu, this book...can I take a look at it?"
Facing her big watery eyes, Gu Lan shook his head directly: "I'm sorry, Miss Fei'er, these are all written for my wife."
So decisive, yet ruthlessly rejected!
Fei'er Xiao felt a sour feeling in her heart, but she had no choice but to withdraw her hand and sighed.
"It's a slave's presumption. Master, please go slowly."
Gu Lan nodded and did not let Miss Lan see him off. Instead, he asked to go out through the back door of Xiang Pavilion instead of walking through the corner of Miaoyin Pavilion.
If you are surrounded by those people, you will definitely be questioned about what you did inside.
If Gu Lan told the truth and only listened to the music when he entered Concubine Xiao's boudoir, he would definitely be suspected of being abnormal!
The less trouble, the better.
Go back to the inn early and go to the commercial bank early tomorrow to redeem the land deed.
...
After Gu Lan left, Xiao Feier put on night clothes, her bulging figure was vividly outlined, and came to the side near the outer window.
"Lan'er, just send away the drinkers downstairs later. If my mother comes to ask, just say that I am not feeling well and have gone to bed."
Concubine Xiao instructed.
"yes."
Miss Lan responded obediently.
Concubine Xiao hid her figure, looked at the night sky with some moonlight scattered around, turned around, and a swallow disappeared through the clouds.
The direction she was going was Miyagi.
If this scene were seen by other people in Miaoyin Pavilion, they would definitely be shocked.
After all, who would have thought that the most charming beauty in the capital would actually be a master of the Xiantian realm?
...
First floor.
The banquet has not yet dispersed.
While everyone was waiting after the sound of the piano stopped, they looked at the Xiang Pavilion on the third floor more and more frequently.
Several of the young masters were almost drunk, but they still refused to leave, saying that they had to watch Gu Lan come out of Xiao Huakui's room tonight!
"I don't believe it. Miss Fei'er is really going to keep a man overnight for the first time tonight!?"
"Wow!! The lover of my dreams is really going to be defiled tonight... Why!?"
"..."
Drinking to drown your sorrows makes you even more miserable!
They thought, it would be better if Wu Yuan got his way, at least it was a noble disciple who was richer than them.
The jealousy of the people in Langzhou on the side was not much different!
Both were born in Langzhou, and they were able to sleep with an courtesan on their first night in the capital, but they were almost beaten by the capital's domineering young general...
So unfair!
The people at the table stared blankly at the door of Xiang Pavilion and drank for two more hours.
Only Wei Zhi was in a good mood.
After all, he has no money and no education. He is self-aware, and he is still urging everyone to go back from time to time.
When the moon is in the middle.
Miss Lan came down to clear the place and saw all the scholars and gentlemen drunk at the table. She couldn't help but shake her head.
This group of sour scholars and dandies are so different from the young master just now!
She remained calm and said to Wei Zhi, the only one who was still conscious: "Master Gu Lan was afraid of being entangled by them, so he went back first and asked me to tell Mr. Wei."
Miss Lan is Xiao Huakui's maid. Wei Zhi, a small street envoy, is really flattered by her calling her an adult!
He glanced at the slumped figures on the table, quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Oh, it will be good if Brother Gu goes back, I understand!"
"Master Wei, please go back and rest early."
Miss Lan waved and asked the servants of Miaoyin Pavilion to help send these drunken guys back.
...
In the palace!
The Yangxin Hall, which had been silent for more than a year, suddenly lit up with candlelight tonight.
This is the palace where the empress wrote memorials.
Many powerful eunuchs and maids were secretly frightened when they saw this, and quickly formed a group quietly to come over to pay their respects.
In the end, they were all stopped by Liu Yexi at the door.
"Your Majesty is reading the memorial. You can go back now, as you haven't seen anything tonight."
Liu Yexi calmly ordered according to the empress's instructions.
"yes."
The eunuchs and maids all returned the same way.
After a while, the sound of their whispers in the distance sounded cautiously.
"Master Liu is here. It seems that His Majesty is really back."
"Your Majesty is so diligent in approving the memorial as soon as he comes back!"
"Isn't that right? Outsiders don't know whether we know it or not. Since the beginning of the Dajing Dynasty, we have been the most diligent people today. We are still young..."
"..."
Liu Yexi just breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, I saw a man in black flying from the horizon.
"who?!"
"Sister Xi, it's me." Concubine Xiao took off her scarf, revealing her charming little face.
"It's late at night, and your Majesty is reading a book. What are you doing here?"
"Don't you think of your Majesty?"
Concubine Xiao hadn't seen Mu Yuyan for a year, and she really missed her.
Liu Yexi glanced at her and said, "Let's go in together."
The two women walked into the Heart Cultivation Hall together.
In front of the north wall of the hall, Mu Yuyan, still wearing casual clothes, was sitting in front of a dragon table and looking through the pile of memorials, including Xiao Feier's secret report yesterday.
A candle is held in front of the case, swaying quietly.
"Concubine, sit down."
Mu Yuyan raised her eyes and pointed at the seat next to her.
The three girls grew up together. Although they are monarchs and ministers, they are not so restrained.
Liu Yexi obediently found a bench and sat down, looking at the hall after a long absence with nostalgia.
However, Xiao Feier went straight to Mu Yuyan and sat down, softly pressed her arm against Mu Yuyan's, and complained a little aggrievedly:
"Your Majesty, Gu Lan bullied me."
