Kapitel 37: Luck

Redakteur: Atlas Studios

In her previous life, Gu Yunzhen, who was originally an outsider, was most likely involved in the jealousy between two men. In the chaos, the Moon Pavilion collapsed and Gu Yunzhen fell into the flowerbed. Half of her face was scratched by countless spikes and was covered in scars.

And not only was Gu Yunrong safe and sound, but she had also received an imperial decree to marry Kang Wang.

Gu Yanfei sighed silently and thought to herself, 'Gu Yunrong is indeed a lucky girl!'

In her previous life, she had lived a muddled life. She was angry at fate for being unfair to her and did not understand why everyone favored Gu Yunrong.

After cultivating in the Bright Spirit Realm for 200 years, Gu Yanfei gradually comprehended some laws about the various small worlds. For example, every small world had a "Destiny's Child".

Gu Yunrong was the person the heavens of this small world favored the most. She had gathered the greatest amount of providence.

To put it nicely, Gu Yunrong was a lucky koi. Every problem of hers could be resolved with the help of a noble.

To put it bluntly, when she was in danger, someone always took the fall for her.

Gu Yanfei turned to look at Gu Yunzhen and held her hand. Gu Yunzhen thought that Gu Yanfei was uneasy and held her hand comfortingly.

In her previous life, Gu Yunzhen had shielded Gu Yunrong from disaster.

In this life, the person who shielded Gu Yunrong from disaster became Fang Mingfeng.

Gu Yanfei's pupils dilated. At this moment, she felt enlightened and a strange feeling surrounded her.

It was as if a voice in the dark was telling her that her guess was right.

A bright smile appeared on Gu Yanfei's lips and her free left hand quietly kept her purse.

Outside the small building, more and more people heard the commotion and came over, surrounding the parterre area in three layers.

Gu Yanfei shook Gu Yunzhen's hand and smiled. "Big Sister, let's go back." Since her goal had been achieved, she did not intend to stay any longer.

Gu Yunzhen nodded, her heart indescribably complicated. She watched helplessly as the disheveled Gu Yunrong was forcefully pulled away by Kang Wang.

Everything had happened so quickly since the fight between the three of them. Before she could react, it had reached a point of no return.

Gu Yunzhen went downstairs with Gu Yanfei without a word. After leaving the Moonlight Tower, she turned left.

The sisters left hand in hand, completely unaware that an excited gaze was following them from the third floor of the small building.

"Young Master, could the 'fire' on the pavilion have something to do with Miss Gu?"

Xiao Shi spoke excitedly in a rough drake voice.

His eyes darted around. One moment, he was looking at Gu Yanfei, the next moment, he was looking at Fang Mingfeng, and the very next moment, he was craning his neck to look at the empty Moon Pavilion. The talisman ash on the roof of the pavilion had long been blown away by the wind, leaving no traces.

On the beauty couch beside him was a handsome young master in white. A strand of black hair on his forehead gently caressed the red mole at the corner of his eye as he leaned back in a lazy and relaxed posture.

"What do you think?" He casually played with the small and exquisite tea bowl between his long and beautiful fingers that were even fairer than white porcelain. A section of his wrist was revealed in his wide cuff and he looked like he was carved from flawless jade. His lines were beautiful and exquisite.

Xiao Shi rubbed his nose and recalled every detail of the "fire". Just now, he was making tea for his master when he realized that there was smoke rising outside the window. Only then did he stick his head out to take a look…

"That smoke was very strange, young master. It came and went quickly. I looked carefully but there was only smoke, no fire."

"Besides, I don't smell either kerosene or anything burning."

"Most likely… No, it must have something to do with Miss Gu!"

At the thought of everything that had happened in Danyang City, Xiao Shi said with certainty and high spirits.

Chu Yi pursed his thin lips in a half-smile and put down the tea bowl. His wide cuffs slipped off, making him look even thinner.

Xiao Shi's intuition told him that his master seemed to know something. He leaned over and asked curiously, "Young Master, did you see something?"

"A talisman," Chu Yi said as he touched the empty red silk pouch in his sleeve with his right hand.

"Young Master, why didn't you call me?" The little boy widened his eyes. He felt that his master was too mean to have made him miss the most important scene.

The noisy and excited voice entered his ears. Chu Yi's gaze passed through the window on the third floor and accurately landed on the beautiful figure who had just stepped onto the stone bridge.

Outside the building, the autumn wind blew. The wind blew away the clouds in the sky and wrinkled the surface of the Emerald Lake below. It also blew off the petals of the branches, forming a scattered rain of flowers that looked picturesque.

Gu Yanfei stopped at the entrance of the water pavilion and casually brushed off a petal on her shoulder.

She seemed to sense something, for she turned her head and glanced casually behind her. There were not many people near the water pavilion, only a dozen or so gathered in groups of two or three. Among them, only a few faces looked familiar.

"Second Sister?" Seeing Gu Yanfei stop, Gu Yunzhen looked at her in confusion.

Gu Yanfei smiled sweetly. "I'm fine. I'm just a little hungry."

In a bamboo shed not far away, a young man pointed excitedly at Gu Yanfei, who was at the entrance of the water pavilion. With his other hand, he patted the young master in green who was taller than him and said in a trembling voice, "She's back… Cousin, look, the beauty is back!"

The young master in green stared at Gu Yanfei. At this moment, the other people around him seemed to have become a backdrop, and his eyes were focused only on Gu Yanfei.

The young girl in her prime had bright eyes and white teeth. Her eyes were clear, and her entire body was bathed in golden sunlight. Her outline was clear, and her simple and elegant snow-green clothes made her look ethereal and otherworldly. She was like a goddess in paradise, cold and beautiful, without a trace of smoke.

His eyes lit up just by looking at her like that. She was like a pear blossom in the snow, filling the room with moonlight.

After watching the sisters enter the water pavilion, the young master in green snapped out of his daze and his eyes lit up.

When he first arrived at Prince Jing's mansion this morning, he was stunned by the peerless beauty who was traveling with the Eldest Miss Gu. However, he was unable to talk to her at that time.

Just now, he and his cousin had searched the vicinity but could not find her. They thought that she had left.

Fortunately, the beauty was still here!

The young man in green perked up and smoothed his sleeves and robe. Then he gestured to his cousin and urged, "Let's go!"

The cousins each picked up a red and blue tray and walked side by side into the water pavilion.

At this moment, the water pavilion was very deserted and there were only seven or eight people.

They walked towards Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen, who were sitting by the window.

Li Zhulang, who was dressed in a sky-blue robe, opened the fan in his hand and smiled at the sisters. He asked in a friendly manner, "The princess has set up a bet for today's competition and everyone has already placed their bets. Do you two ladies want to play?"

As he spoke, his gaze naturally shifted to Gu Yanfei on the other side of the table. He couldn't help but hold his breath, and his heart pounded like a drum. Even if he tried to hide it, he couldn't hide the amazement on his face.


Kapitel 38: Empress Dowager

Redakteur: Atlas Studios

The young man took half a step forward with a red tray filled with all kinds of gold and silver ingots, jade pendants, thumb rings, pearl collars, and so on. He said to Gu Yanfei with a smile, "How about you place a bet? Anyways, we're just playing around."

Li Zhulang said eagerly, "Everyone is just here to join in the fun. We can bet on big or small…"

He was just short of saying that if he lost, it would be on him. The words were actually on the tip of his tongue, but he was afraid it would seem too rash.

Gu Yunzhen recognized Li Zhulang and smiled generously. "Alright, I'll bet too…"

She looked around at the dazzling array of red and blue trays and leaned over to ask Gu Yanfei, "Second Sister, which team do you think will win?"

Gu Yanfei smiled and said firmly, "I think it'll be a draw."

Gu Yunzhen, Li Zhulang, and the others were stunned.

The young man couldn't help but remind her. "The chances of a draw are less than ten percent…"

A draw was rare and was equivalent to giving money to the dealer.

"Sure, sure." Li Zhulang could not wait to interrupt his cousin. He clapped his hands and said, "The odds are high if we bet on a draw. If we win, the stakes can be multiplied several times." It was fine if they lost, as long as the beauty was happy!

The young man really admired his cousin. He thought to himself, "Cousin really has no principles to please a beauty."

Gu Yanfei's interest was piqued and she wanted to place a bet, but when she touched her empty pouch, she remembered that she did not bring any silver.

Clang.

A small gold ingot was thrown in from the window. It rolled on the table and stopped in front of Gu Yanfei.

Then a dark, handsome face peered out the window and grinned brilliantly.

"Miss Gu, our young master will bet on it for you!" Xiao Shi winked happily at Gu Yanfei, holding a dark red tray with golden laurels.

"…" Li Zhulang also wanted to place a bet on behalf of Gu Yanfei, but he was too late. His face instantly froze, and he thought to himself, 'Which young master is that? If he's unaccountably solicitous, he must be up to no good… Could he be a love rival?!'

"Xiao Shi." Meeting Xiao Shi's dark and bright eyes, Gu Yanfei's heart skipped a beat. She recalled the gaze she had felt outside the water pavilion and immediately understood.

So it was him. What a coincidence.

"Young Master asked me to say hello to you." Xiao Shi's smile became brighter, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth. At the same time, he took a glass of wine from the tray and brought it to Gu Yanfei.

The light yellow liquid of the osmanthus wine was as clear as amber. Tiny golden osmanthus flowers floated in it, emitting an elegant fragrance. Compared to the rich fragrance of fresh osmanthus, this faint wine fragrance was just right.

Gu Yanfei picked up the cup of osmanthus wine and sniffed it. She raised her eyebrows and said, "This is from Qiongfang Shop?"

"Miss, you have a good eye." Xiao Shi chuckled and signaled Gu Yanfei to look at the Moonlight Tower across the lake.

Gu Yanfei raised her chin slightly and saw from afar that the gauze curtain on the third floor was lifted by a slender hand, revealing a familiar white figure. Because of the distance, the young man's handsome face was not clear. She could only see that he was holding a similar white porcelain wine glass in his hand.

The young man in white raised his glass and toasted from afar. Then, he downed the wine in one gulp.

This toast was for her help in Danyang City.

As the two of them looked at each other silently, Gu Yanfei smiled brightly.

Facing Chu Yi, who was on the other side of the lake, she raised her head and drank from her cup. Anyone could see that her movements were elegant and decisive.

Li Zhulang was stunned by her beautiful smile. He craned his neck to look out of the window to see who his love rival was, feeling vexed. Why was he a step too late!

Unfortunately, he didn't see anything. The hazy veil covering the window blocked his gaze.

Outside the water pavilion, there was a flurry of laughter. Some people had returned from the garden in groups.

Seeing that the voices were getting closer, Xiao Shi cupped his hands at Gu Yanfei and bid his farewell, not giving Li Zhulang a chance to probe. At the same time, seven or eight people entered the water pavilion in a row. Most of them had strange smiles on their faces as they gossiped with interest.

"How did Crown Prince Fang fall into the flowerbed?"

"If you want to know, why don't you ask His HIghness Kang Wang!"

"Wasn't Second Miss Gu from the Dingyuan Marquis Household also there? Isn't it the same to ask her?!"

"How did the three of them happen to be there, anyway?"

"…"

The crowd's speculations floated over from time to time, their voices rising and falling. Instead of stopping even after 10 minutes, the momentum grew and spread from the water pavilion to the polo field.

However, when Gu Yunrong returned in her new riding clothes, those people fell silent again like mutes, for Kang Wang was at her side.

The polo game was not interrupted by this episode and the injured Fang Mingfeng did not appear again. In the second half, Kang Wang replaced him.

The second half of the match was only delayed by a cup of tea before it began with a crisp gong.

The sound of galloping hooves rang out again, accompanied by the cheers of the crowd. The white polo ball was thrown high into the sky…

Kang Wang had just entered the field and was full of energy and high spirits. He also deliberately showed off his skills in front of his sweetheart. Not long after the second half began, he scored a goal, but Gu Yunrong's condition was obviously not as good as before and she made a few mistakes.

Gu Yunrong quickly adjusted her mentality and chased after her opponents.

The two teams chased each other, neither willing to give way. Halfway through the second half of the game, there was a commotion at the entrance to the polo field.

Upon hearing the soft exclamation of someone in the water pavilion, Gu Yanfei could not help but look sideways.

In the direction of the garden, a dozen people were clustered around two distinguished-looking ladies. One was older, in her 40s; the other was younger, in her mid 30s.

Everyone respected the older beautiful woman and clustered around her, willing to serve her.

The beautiful middle-aged woman was wearing a dark purple embroidered horse-face skirt with a small white collar. Her hair was simply tied into a bun with a white jade Ruyi pattern.

Her skin was fair, her facial features were graceful, and there was a dignified and faint smile on her lips. She was refined and elegant, and vaguely exuded the noble aura of standing above the clouds.

It was difficult to ignore the presence of such a large group.

Some people immediately recognized the middle-aged woman and widened their eyes.

Even those who did not know her would recognize Princess Consort Jing, who was beside her. Princess Consort Jing was talking softly to the middle-aged beautiful woman, smiling respectfully the entire time.

There were only a few women in this world who could make Princess Consort Jing so respectful…

"The Empress Dowager?" Gu Yunzhen exclaimed.

Indeed, only the current Empress Dowager could have such prestige.
