At dawn, Gu Zeyan got out of bed and began to put on his clothes. Yao Lian, who was sleeping, felt the emptiness beside her. The temperature was not as hot as before, and she immediately woke up.
"Your Highness, why are you up so early?" Yao Lian turned around and looked at the person under the bed.
"This king will come again tonight." Gu Zeyan did not answer his question and left.
"Then Yao Lian will await your highness." Yao Lian shouted at Gu Zeyan, who was already outside the door.
As Gu Zeyan woke up too early, the streets were not as lively as at noon. At this moment, it was very cold, and only a few people had started setting up stalls. It was rare for him to want to walk back to the Imperial Residence. As soon as he entered the Imperial Residence, he saw Baili Qingkong walking over.
"Wangye, wangfei is already waiting in the dining hall.”Baili Qingkong followed behind Gu Zeyan and reported to him as they walked towards the dining hall.
Gu Zeyan had just arrived at the door of the dining hall when he saw Xiao Qingya sitting on the seat. Her white tight-fitting robe accentuated her figure. Her eyebrows were slightly drooping and covered her eyes. Her high nose bridge and her thin lips made people want to kiss her.
The other party seemed to know that he had come and looked up at him, which made Gu Zeyan even more shocked. That pair of eyes was too similar, too similar to that person. Gu Zeyan suddenly felt that marrying him might not be a bad idea.
"Wangye, if you don't have breakfast, then it will be too late to enter the palace.”Xiao Qingya gently reminded him.
Gu Zetao heard Xiao Qingya's reminder, and Baili Qingkong pulled his sleeve behind him at the right time before he came back to his senses. He sat on the main seat and said that breakfast was ready before he began to serve breakfast. Only then did the two of them officially start eating breakfast together.
"Did the princess sleep well last night?”Gu Zeyan's sudden voice made Xiao Qingya look at him in confusion.
"Thanks to wangye, I slept very well last night.”Xiao Qingya put down her bowl and chopsticks after she finished speaking.
"Princess Consort ate so little?" Surprise flashed across Gu Zeyan's eyes. That did not seem like an adult's appetite.
"I never eat much." Xiao Qingya only responded to his words lightly, and then quietly waited for Gu Zeyan to finish eating and enter the palace together.
"In that case, enter the palace.”Gu Zeyan put down his bowl and chopsticks. He had no intention of eating anymore. He only wanted to enter the palace as soon as possible and end things as soon as possible. He got up and walked out first. He had no intention of waiting for Xiao Qingya at all.
Baili Qingkong had already prepared a carriage outside the manor. He was waiting for Gu Zeyan to finish his breakfast and head to the palace. He saw Gu Xiao and Gu Xiqiao walking over one after another. Baili Qingkong helped them into the carriage one after another before saying to the coachman," Let's go."”
Xiao Qingya closed her eyes the moment she got into the carriage, while Gu Zeyan turned his head to look at the crowd outside the carriage. He looked at her for a long time and felt a little annoyed. He turned back to look at Xiao Qingya. After careful observation, he had to say that Xiao Qingya was really a beautiful woman who was cold, elegant, and handsome.
"Wangye, wangfei, we have arrived at the palace gates.”While Gu Zeyan was admiring it, he heard Baili Qingkong say to him from outside the car.
Xiao Qingya opened her eyes and walked out of the car first, as if she did not feel those probing eyes. She waited for Gu Zeyan to get out of the car and walked with him to the royal study. Suddenly, a pair of hands wrapped around Xiao Qingya's waist. Xiao Qingya looked at Gu Zeyan in surprise.
"It's better to be 'loving' in front of the emperor.”As Gu Zeyan explained, he thought that her waist was too thin, as if it would break with a gentle pinch.
"Wangye, wangfei are here. The emperor has been waiting for a long time.”Eunuch Li stepped forward and looked at the loving couple, unable to contain his joy.
"Eunuch Li, please lead the way." Gu Zeyan raised his eyebrows, but his hands held Xiao Qingya tightly, not allowing him to move.
"Third Imperial Brother, are you here to see First Imperial Brother?”A brisk voice sounded behind Gu Xiao and Gu Zeyan, causing Gu Zeyan's hand that was wrapped around Xiao Qingya's waist to stiffen.
Xiao Qingya felt Gu Zeyan's uneasiness and glanced at him unintentionally. She turned around and quietly avoided Gu Zeyan's embrace. She bowed and cupped her hands before saying," Xiao Qingya greets the King of Luoyang."”
"Third Imperial Sister-in-law, why are you treating me as an outsider? Just call me Zeluo as Third Imperial Brother does.”Gu Zeluo smiled happily and turned to look at Gu Zeyan. His eyes were filled with joy." Third Brother, Third Aunt is so beautiful."”
"Zeluo." Gu Zeyan's expression immediately turned into a smile as he quietly helped him out of his awkward situation. It was as if that moment had never happened. He heard Gu Zeluo turn his head to look at him and saw his frown because of the word 'beautiful'. He couldn't help but be in a good mood.
"Alright, alright, come with me to see the emperor.”Seeing that they wanted to continue chatting, Eunuch Li began to interrupt.
Gu Zeyan and Xiao Qingya followed Eunuch Li to the royal study. During this time, Gu Zeyan would hug Xiao Qingya from time to time. Every time, Xiao Qingya would quietly break free. Gu Zeluo watched the interaction between the two and felt that it was the interest of lovers. He just smiled and did not say anything.
"My younger brother greets the emperor. Long live my emperor.”Gu Zeyan and Gu Zeluo bowed their heads at the same time.
"Xiao Qingya greets the emperor. Long live my emperor.”Xiao Qingya bowed to the Emperor.
"Princess Xiao Yao, what are you doing? You're already the concubine of the Nightmare Selection, how can you still kneel?”Gu Zejin stood up and walked to Xiao Qingya to help her up.
"Thank you, Emperor." Xiao Qingya still kept her head lowered.
Gu Zeyan looked coldly at Xiao Qingya. Seeing that he was neither servile nor overbearing even when talking to the emperor, he really wanted to tear off that mask. He wanted to see if this princess had any other expressions.
"Nightmare Choosing, I wonder how the bridal chamber went last night?”Gu Zejin smiled at Gu Zeyan and asked with concern.
"Yes, Third Imperial Brother, last night was your wedding night. Third Imperial Brother must have been too happy to think about home.”Gu Zeluo also teased.
"Then you have to ask how my beloved consort is doing.”Gu Zeyan deliberately threw the question at Xiao Qingya to see how he would answer. He wanted to make a fool of himself.
"Replying to the emperor, last night his highness was very gentle and considerate to Xiao Qingya.”Xiao Qingya saw that he had thrown the question to her, so she couldn't avoid it. She could only sigh and say.
"Oh? It seems that the Nightmare Choosing is really gentle." Gu Zejin chuckled in disbelief. He paused and said," Zeyan, you said that you would help me in court after you get married. You won't go back on your word this time, right?”
"Hehe, Imperial Brother, you can't ask me to help you just after we got married, right? Nightmare Choosing still wanted to enjoy more wedding days with Qingya, so it was better to wait.”On the surface, Gu Zeyan rejected him tactfully, but he was sneering in his heart. You let me be an official because I'm easy to control.
" This…" Gu Zejin thought to himself that Gu Zeyan really couldn't be kept alive, regardless of whether he helped or not.
"Imperial Brother, let Third Imperial Brother and Third Imperial Sister-in-law spend more time together. If he becomes an official, Third Imperial Brother won't have so much leisure time to accompany Third Imperial Sister-in-law.”Gu Zeluo simply wanted the two of them to spend more sweet days together and did not think too much about it.
"Alright, let's let Nightmare Choosing rest for another half a year. Is that okay?”Gu Zejin felt that this was good. If he wanted to go out and play, it would be easier to make a move.
"Thank you, Imperial Brother." Gu Zeyan crossed his arms in thanks.
"Reporting to the Emperor, Prime Minister Xiao requests an audience.”Eunuch Li came in to pass the message.
Xiao Qingya listened to the three people's teasing and only sighed at the fact that the royal family's appearance was really good. The three people did not use their own names, so naturally, it almost made him think that they should be so close and there was no problem at all. However, Eunuch Li's words immediately brought him back to his senses, and he subconsciously sat up straight. He didn't want to see his father at the moment.
Although Gu Zeyan was chatting enthusiastically with the two Gu brothers, he was secretly observing Xiao Qingya's movements. He had seen all of Xiao Qingya's subconscious movements just now, and this made his eyes flash. Then, he stopped talking.
"Oh? What a coincidence, please. I think the Princess Consort also wants to see Father, right?”Gu Zejin seemed to be overly enthusiastic towards the father and son.
"Thank you, Emperor." Xiao Qingya never raised her head to look at Gu Zejin, which made Gu Zejin somewhat satisfied. He was a person who knew when to advance and retreat.
Gu Zeluo wanted to say something but was stopped by Gu Zeyan. Gu Zeluo didn't know what was going on, but since Gu Zeyan wasn't in a hurry, he would just watch the show.
"Greetings, Emperor. Long live my Emperor.”Xiao Ruojun came in and knelt down.
"Xiao Qing's family, rise." Gu Zejin had already returned to his seat and said.
"Thank you, Emperor." Xiao Ruojun stood up and saw Gu Zeyan and Gu Zeluo, so he greeted them." Greetings, King Xiaoyao and King Luoyang.”
"Prime Minister Xiao, no, no," Gu Zeluo couldn't stand it anymore and waved his hand.
"Greetings, Father." Xiao Qingya elegantly stood up and bowed to Xiao Ruojun. She was neither close nor distant. This action made the three princes admire her.
"Qing Princess Consort is too polite." Xiao Ruojun was about to say the word Qingya, but he realized that it was inappropriate for him to call her that at this moment. Then, he changed his words and bowed to Xiao Qingya.
"Xiao Qing's family, since it's such a coincidence, your father and son will gather together, Zhen and my brothers will avoid it.”Although Gu Zejin said this, he had no intention of leaving. The other two also had no intention of leaving.
