The others from the Gu family were as if they were facing a great enemy for Gu Yuan’s trip to the State of Yue, but Gu Yuan himself was quite relaxed and smiled calmly.
“Sister, I’ll set off for the capital with the Eldest Prince tomorrow morning. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.” Gu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed the soft top of Gu Yanfei’s head. There was a gentle smile that outsiders usually couldn’t see on his face.
The room was in a mess. A few bags were spread out on the Luohan bed. The outer robe, inner clothes, shoes, socks, golden silk armor, and so on were almost cleaned up.
“I’ll send you off tomorrow morning.” Gu Yanfei leaned lazily against the window, playing with a pair of Emei daggers, one long and the other short.
The two ends of the Emei daggers, which were made of steel, were sharp and looked like a spearhead. There was a ring in the center.
She put the ring on the middle finger of both hands and agilely turned the small Emei dagger. It glinted in the cold light.
This was just given to her by Gu Yuan today. She was playing with it excitedly, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Gu Yanfei turned the pair of Emei daggers two more times. With a slight shake of her hand, the Emei daggers hid in her wide sleeves and disappeared like a magic trick.
“Do you like it?” Gu Yuan asked Gu Yanfei with a smile.
This pair of Emei daggers was originally bought by Fan Beiran by a craftsman for him to play with. Yesterday, he came to show off to Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan felt that it was small and very suitable for women, so he forcefully bought it with money.
Gu Yanfei nodded and smiled brightly. “I like it!”
“Jiaoniang definitely likes it too. I’ll give it to her to play with next time.”
She raised her right wrist gently, and the Emei dagger appeared in her hand again.
The silver light reflected on her face and eyes, making her dark eyes especially bright and watery.
The young girl didn’t need makeup or accessories. She just needed to smile, and it would seem like thousands of trees had bloomed.
Gu Yuan’s long and narrow phoenix eyes curved slightly. He knew that his sister would like it!
Wu Tong was packing Gu Yuan’s luggage, but his expression was complicated.
Other young masters gave their sisters silk, accessories, zither chess, and so on, but their Eldest Young Master was different!
However, the Second Lady actually liked the gift from the Eldest Young Master. They were really biological siblings! As expected of the Gu family bloodline!
As for Juan Bi, who was serving tea and snacks to the siblings, she was already used to it.
Gu Yanfei had so many weapons that she could build a weapon room. There were short swords and firearms given by the Eldest Prince, whips given by the Eldest Princess Feng Yang, bull-horn bow, longsword, and red tassel spear given by the Eldest Young Master…
Other girls played zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Her lady played talismans, compasses, tortoise shells, pills, silver needles, weapons, and so on.
The Eldest Young Master and the Eldest Prince spoiled her lady.
Juan Bi smiled happily, feeling a little proud.
“By the way.” Gu Yanfei clapped with a smile and said, “Jiaoniang just sent a pair of bear paws over in the morning. She said that her third brother hunted two black bears in the mountain this time. I’ve already instructed the kitchen to roast them into honey-steamed bear paws. I’ve never eaten bear paws.”
“Big Brother, let’s leave after dinner.”
“Yes,” Gu Yuan replied softly.
He liked to hear his sister talk about family matters, and the smile on his face deepened. He had already thought about it in his heart. When he returned, he would also enter the mountain to hunt head bears for his sister.
Wait for him to come back…
A sharp light flashed in Gu Yuan’s eyes, and he changed the topic. “Yanfei, are you really going to the imperial mausoleum?”
Gu Yanfei nodded and her long eyelashes fluttered.
Gu Yuan frowned slightly, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, looking worried.
When he didn’t smile, his face looked a little cold.
He seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and in the end, he didn’t say it.
Gu Yanfei said in a light tone, “The eldest princess, Feng Yang, will also go. I’ll follow her.”
Outsiders might not know, but Gu Yanfei knew very well that Feng Yang’s body was getting worse day by day…
Wu Tong skillfully prepared the luggage she should bring. After checking again, he tied up the bag and said, “Young Master, I’ve packed everything. Do you want to take a look again?”
Gu Yuan waved off Wu Tong with a casual gesture, intending to say a few words to Gu Yanfei. However, she spoke first, saying, “Big Brother, there’s one more thing missing from your bundle.”
Meeting his sister’s playful and intelligent eyes, Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked cooperatively, “What’s missing?”
Gu Yanfei dug into her sleeve. This time, she didn’t take out the Emei dagger, but a royal blue purse.
“This.” Gu Yanfei stuffed the purse into Gu Yuan’s hand. “There are some common pills, ointments, and so on inside. I’ve written the uses of these medicines on a piece of paper inside..”
