This sentence almost made Gu Yuan and He Lie stagger.
Gu Yanfei’s eyes instantly lit up when she heard the word “flower lantern”. Her pupils sparkled.
In her two lifetimes, she had never seen a lantern. She only remembered hearing from her cousins in the Marquis Mansion in her previous life that the annual Lantern Festival in the capital was very lively. Only the Qixi Lantern could barely be compared to it.
Chu Yi understood her gaze.
Her gaze wasn’t difficult to read, just like the yearning look in An Le’s eyes when she talked about the lantern show.
A gentle smile appeared in Chu Yi’s eyes, and it was as if the winter sun shone on his eyes.
He softened his tone and said seductively, “The Lantern Festival is on the south street near Dazhao Temple. There will be a temple fair that night with all kinds of fun and delicious food, many sideshows and lanterns, as well as a huge dragon lantern placed at the entrance of Dazhao Temple by the people who are best at setting up lanterns in the capital.’
“More than half of the people in the capital will go to the Lantern Festival. The festival will last until midnight.”
“We can play lantern riddles, release some sky lanterns, watch fireworks, watch lion dances, and go to temple fairs…”
Gu Yanfei’s eyes grew brighter and brighter. She nodded. “Okay.”
He Lie, who was at the back, looked at Chu Yi with an indescribable expression. He was certain in his heart that the Eldest Prince definitely wasn’t here to accompany him specially.
The wind was still a little strong today, and Gu Yanfei was standing against it. A gust of wind blew her hair and headband on her back to her temples and eyes.
Just as Gu Yanfei was about to smooth her hair, Chu Yi had already raised his hand before her and smoothly tucked a few strands of messy hair and a long headband behind her ear.
He acted quickly and retracted his hand quickly, so fast that Gu Yuan didn’t even have time to say anything.
“I’ll pick you up on the evening of the 15th.” After saying this, Chu Yi got into the carriage.
Right on the heels of that, Gu Yuan and He Lie got on their respective horses. Their expressions became even stranger, especially Gu Yuan’s.
Gu Yuan actually had a lot of things to say to his sister.
Although there was nothing wrong with the Eldest Prince other than being a little heavy-hearted, marriage was a big matter for a girl. She still had to think about it carefully and couldn’t be coaxed so easily.
Sigh.
Gu Yuan was extremely worried. He kept looking back at his sister as he rode on his horse.
He still had to work today, so he could only leave the Marquis Mansion with Chu Yi.
Gu Yanfei stood on the spot and watched as their carriage drove out of the Marquis Mansion’s corner gate. He was in a rather good mood.
She turned around and asked as she walked towards the inner courtyard, “Juan
Bi, do you know how to set up lanterns?”
There were still five days before the Lantern Festival. She would definitely have time to set up a beautiful lantern.
Juan Bi nodded, then shook her head. “l only know how to make the simplest round lanterns. I don’t know how to make those rabbit or cat lanterns.”
“So be it.” Gu Yanfei’s interest didn’t diminish at all. She walked briskly and continued, “Let me think about what talismans I can use to enhance the color of my lantern.’
Juan Bi was also excited and happily gave her lady an idea. “Miss, your
Butterfly Pursuing Fragrance Talisman is very interesting.”
“That’s a good idea.” Gu Yanfei snapped her fingers happily. She couldn’t wait to return to Yuheng Garden to set up the lanterns.
The master and servant crossed the threshold of the inner ceremonial door with a smile. They saw Madam Wang standing by the tall wall with a group of servants 30 to 40 feet away.
Madam Wang had received Gu Jian’s instructions and had specially waited for Gu Yanfei here.
In the cold wind, her face was a little red from the wind. Her body was stiff, and there was a layer of anxiety around her.
“Yanfei.” Madam Wang was a little anxious as she took two steps closer to Gu Yanfei. She went straight to the point and asked two consecutive questions.
“Has the Eldest Prince gone back? What is he doing here today?”
Gu Yanfei gestured to Juan Bi and instructed, “The Eldest Prince shouldn’t have gone far now. Go over quickly and stop him. Tell him that Madam Marquis asked him why he was here.”
“Yes, My Lady.” Juan Bi had always been obedient. She turned around and ran, scaring Madam Wang.
‘You’re not allowed to go!” Madam Wang lost her composure and called out to Juan Bi. Her expression was extremely ugly and stiff.
Gu Yanfei looked at Madam Wang with a puzzled expression. “Didn’t Madam say that she wanted to know?’
She almost wrote the words “You’re so fickle” on her face.
” ” Madam Wang was so frightened that she almost lost her soul. She glared hatefully at Gu Yanfei, who was a few steps away, and gritted her teeth.
Gu Yanfei was simply a thorn. She couldn ‘t even speak without offending someone.
She probably viewed the entire Marquis Mansion as her enemy!
She had never thought that even if she was lucky enough to become the Eldest Prince’s concubine, this woman would still need the help of her family!
Madam Wang tightened her grip on the handkerchief in her hand. She thought about Gu Jian’s instructions and was about to say something when she saw an old woman in green rushing over from the direction of the gate.
The old woman in green ran all the way to Madam Wang’s side and quickly whispered a few words to her.
Gu Yanfei didn’t wait for Madam Wang. She called Juan Bi and left.
Madam Wang was so shocked by what the old woman in green said that her heart tightened and her expression changed drastically. Without thinking, she ordered the old woman, “Chase them away!”
In the end, she added worriedly, “Hurry up and chase them away!”
At this time, who would want to get involved with the Yu Family? Wasn’t this asking for trouble?!
The woman in green carefully glanced at Gu Yanfei’s departing figure and lowered her voice. ‘Madam, that person asked me to convey one word to you:
substitute..”
