Chapter 70

After Gu Qi finished calling the emperor's uncle, he held Chu Yan quietly and waited on the spot.

The old man who fished did not look back for a long time, and he was content with it.

Chu Yan couldn't figure out what was going on, and she didn't know how an emperor uncle appeared out of nowhere, so she had to wait patiently with Gu Qi.

The gentle breeze blew the willows over and over again. When the two of them came out, it was just a little light. After waiting for a long time, the sun from the sky gradually came out.

The sun is rising in the east, and the rays of light are overwhelming, creating a magnificent scene.

Gu Qi suddenly turned his head and asked Chu Yan, "Are you tired?"

Chu Yan shook her head, "Not tired."

At this moment, the old man finally pulled up the fishing rod neatly, and saw a lively carp hanging on the curved hook, and he stretched out his hand to take it down calmly, humming softly. said a word.

"It's obviously me who fishes, why don't you ask me if I'm tired?"

Chu Yan was startled, and gave Gu Qi a funny look, then said respectfully, "Uncle Huang is right, you old man has been fishing for so long, thank you for your hard work."

old man?
The back suddenly froze, and then he carried the fish in one hand and the fishing rod in the other, and turned around to look at Chu Yan, staring at her with a half-smile, "Who do you call an old man?"

At first glance this person's appearance... Where is the old man?
Chu Yan was shocked and embarrassed.

The "old man" in front of him seemed to be in his early thirties at most. Under the green hat was a face that was somewhat similar to Gu Qi's. His fine hair was a little messy on his forehead, but it added a bit of unrestrainedness.

He looks extremely pure and elegant, with sword eyebrows flying into his temples, his eyes are slightly raised, and his face is like jade, shining brightly.

In terms of appearance alone, he seems to be a bit more delicate than Gu Qi, and there is an unpredictable light in those long and narrow peach eyes, as if he will be sucked in if he looks at him a few more times.

It's just that I don't know if it's because of his age, but he looks a little more vicissitudes than Gu Qi, and there are more emotions hidden in his eyes.

There was a casual smile on the corner of his lips, and he looked at Chu Yan lightly.

And Chu Yan opened her mouth wide, slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly changed her address from "old man" to "uncle emperor".

"The younger generation doesn't know the age of the emperor's uncle, and I hope that the emperor's uncle will not care about what offends him."

The corners of the man's mouth were raised slightly, and the peach blossom eyes sparkled, "There is nothing wrong with me, except that I am petty and caressing."

Chu Yan's face darkened.

Gu Qi laughed helplessly, shook his head, and shouted, "Uncle Huang!"

He turned his head to comfort Chu Yan, "Uncle Huang likes to joke the most, don't take it to heart."

The man immediately raised his eyebrows, and said leisurely, "I'm serious and pragmatic, and I never make half a joke."

Chu Yan glanced at his brows stretched, lips still smiling, that careless and cynical feeling, very much like someone's playboy.

...Just looking at it doesn't make you feel serious, okay?

Gu Qi chuckled a few times, stepped forward to take the fish in his hand, the man handed the fish to him consciously, and then began to gather the fishing rod.

Chu Yan was taken aback. She didn't look carefully just now, but this fishing rod is the same as the modern ones, it is a retractable fishing rod!
The man gathered it little by little, and finally the long fishing rod turned into a black walking stick of uniform thickness.

What surprised Chu Yan even more was that he lightly kicked the cane on the ground, supported himself, and walked slowly towards the boat.

The so-called walking... Chu Yan's eyes fell on his left leg, and he saw that his calf was slightly curled up, and his left foot failed to land, so this uncle...is he crippled?
Gu Qi looked back at her, shook his head, seemed to signal her not to talk nonsense, and said softly, "Let's go, get on the boat first."

Chu Yan had no choice but to follow the so-called emperor uncle to the boat under the leadership of Gu Qi full of suspicion.

As far as she knew, the emperor had seven brothers, and he himself was the third.

The eldest prince is the father of Prince Gong, who died of illness a few years ago; the second prince was guarding Huainan and could not escape; the fourth prince died of illness on the way to the border because of the crime of conspiracy; That said, one is in the south and the other is in the north; while the Seventh Prince is still in the capital, but he doesn't manage much, and his status in the court is worse than that of his son Gu Mingan.

So... this is the Sixth Prince?
Since Chu Yan came to the Xuan Dynasty, she has never heard of the details of this person. She only knows that he left the palace very early. It seems that he does not want to be a rich and prosperous prince. Instead, he wants to live in the countryside and live freely for the rest of his life. .

She turned her head and mouthed lightly to Gu Qi, "Uncle Six?"

Obviously the sound is extremely small, only the faint sound of breathing.

But the person who was untying the hemp rope with his back to the two of them seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. Before Gu Qi could speak, he smiled and praised without looking back, "The little girl is really smart."

Chu Yan: "...."

Isn't it forbidden to call him an old man? Then why does he call her a little girl?
No, not this point.

The point is that she obviously didn't make much noise, even if he turned his back to them, he could still hear what she was saying?
My heart skipped a beat, and I was a little appalled.

Four characters came to mind: Martial arts master!
Gu Qi naturally pulled Chu Yan to the boat, and after helping Chu Yan sit down, he bent down to pick up the wooden paddle at the bow and started rowing to the opposite bank.

Chu Yan was almost stunned.

The dignified prince, do you want to row the boat yourself?
Her thoughts froze for a few seconds, and then she turned her head to look at the sixth prince, but she only saw a relaxed and relaxed expression, as if it was normal for the present prince to come down to serve him.

Chu Yan felt...she didn't seem to keep up with the prince today.

In a daze, he saw that the sixth prince took off the hat from his head and put it aside casually, his unfettered black hair just fell down like this, and was blown violently by the wind.

It stands to reason that his appearance is delicate and elegant, coupled with the characteristics of long hair fluttering, no matter how you look at it, he will be slightly...Mother.

However, Chu Yan was surprised to find that not only is the uncle not a mother, but he has an outstanding demeanor that makes one lose one's mind. Every subtle movement and expression has its own strength of character, as if all the beauty in the world is concentrated on him, which is very natural. That's all, he is handsome and not feminine.

But he didn't even look at Chu Yan, and took out a bamboo flute from his waist covered in coir raincoat, put it to his lips and began to blow it gently.

The sound of the flute is melodious and melodious, like a light movement brought by the wind passing through the forest. Accompanied by several birdsong and fine sunlight, it stirs up circles of ripples and blue waves.

Chu Yan had never heard this song before, but felt that such a clear flute sound was like fairy music, and an inexplicable leisurely feeling washed away in her heart, sweeping away the melancholy of the previous days.

Finally, the Sixth Prince finished playing a piece, with his left hand holding the flute leisurely on his lap, while his right hand gently tapped on the side of the boat, and recited Su Shi's "Standing the Storm":
Don't listen to Chuanlin beating leaves.Why not scream and walk slowly.Bamboo stick straw sandals are lighter than horses.Who is afraid.Ren Pingsheng in a mino of misty rain.The spring breeze blows and wakes up from the wine.Slightly cold.The mountain top is slanting but greets each other.Looking back at the always chic place.go back.Neither wind nor rain.

His voice was slow and pleasant, every word and sentence was like pearls, and his brows and eyes were free and easy, with an indescribable charm.

He was still wearing a coir raincoat, and his trousers were covered with mud, but looking at the situation, one would think that he was wearing expensive and gorgeous clothes, reciting poems and odes on top of the most prosperous restaurant.

Chu Yan felt more and more that this person was strange, not like a mortal, but more like an exiled immortal nine days away.

But at this time, the sixth prince suddenly turned his head to look at her fixedly, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, he said lightly, "Little girl is young, don't frown all the time, you grow old quickly. It's not a peerless youth, if it looks old, how ugly is it?"

Chu Yan: "...."

She must have had something wrong just now, that's why she felt that this person was like a banished immortal.

But unexpectedly, she also smiled at the sixth prince in a calm manner, and said very sincerely, "Thank you for the teaching, Uncle Huang. Naturally, Chu Yan is not as good-hearted as Uncle Huang, so it's no wonder..." Suddenly realized The expression said, "No wonder the emperor doesn't look old at such an advanced age. It turns out that he has a good attitude and ages slowly."

This time it was the Sixth Prince's turn to be startled, and then he burst out laughing, his laughter was clear and hearty, with a certain charm of his own.

He turned his head to look at Gu Qi who was rowing a boat, but he couldn't help but smile, "This little girl is much more interesting than you, for the sake of you bringing her, I don't care about you and I don't have a chance You came to disturb my quiet behavior for no reason."

Gu Qi shook his head and said helplessly, "I just want to bring her to meet the emperor's uncle. If the emperor doesn't give me this face, I will be sad."

The sixth prince frowned, "See me? What do you see me for? Do you want to introduce me as a wife?"

Gu Qi's face darkened instantly, "The emperor's uncle is already old, and Chu Yan is still young, so he can't be your daughter-in-law."

The honorifics are still there, but the tone is a bit tougher.

The sixth prince laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Yo, it's rare for the prince to get angry because of a few words, it really opened my eyes."

He turned his head and looked Chu Yan up and down, "Little girl is quite capable, so that our prince is so devoted to you."

Chu Yan didn't say anything, but she felt it was funny in her heart.

Heartbroken?

If she was determined, why would she be asked to face so many things alone, while she was thinking about the way to stabilize the country in the palace?

She is not angry at all now, because this is what Gu Qi should do as the future emperor.And similarly, as a princess, she also has what she should do, which is to eliminate dissidents and sit in the highest position in the harem rain or shine.

It's like playing online games, you just have to fight monsters and upgrade yourself, what kind of online dating are you doing?
But the sixth prince looked at her quiet eyes, but seemed a little surprised, and then said with a slight smile, "Think of everything as simple as it is good for yourself and others."

Chu Yan was taken aback for a moment, and realized that he seemed to see through her own thoughts, so she said leisurely, "Everyone around me is complicated, so what's the point of me being simple?"

"You think other people are complicated because you are not simple either." He said something lightly, and then there was no further text.

The boat reached the other side of the river, and he was the first to step on the bank with a cane.

Chu Yan looked at his leisurely and unrestrained back, feeling a little regretful that such a person who looked like a banished fairy... had a lame foot.

Gu Qi walked beside her, and suddenly said to her, "Uncle Huang was not like this before."

In the past, he was the person that even his father secretly envied, he was unrestrained, free and easy.

He is like the wind that shuttles through the world, bringing countless ripples where the wind passes by, but he does not stop, just watching the mountains and rivers comfortably.

But no one expected that after such an accident, this unrestrained and unrestrained emperor finally became what he is today, limping and chilling.

"There are love and infatuation in the world." Gu Qi suddenly sighed slightly, then turned his head to look at Chu Yan thoughtfully, meaning something.

The men of the Gu family probably all have a relationship they can't pass, the father is the emperor, the emperor is the uncle, even he... seems to be facing this test.

He brought Chu Yan here today, first to relax, and second, to show her to the person he respects the most.

He is in awe of his father, but he has an inexplicable kindness and respect for this uncle who is not much different in age.

Since he was ten years old, the emperor's uncle has settled here. At that time, he often accompanied his father and mother to visit here. Unexpectedly hit it off.

The emperor's uncle taught him to fish and play the flute, like an elder, but more like a friend. Gu Qi had nowhere to express the helplessness in the palace and the pressure of being a prince, but he seemed to find an outlet here.

After the emperor left the palace, for Gu Qi, this uncle who was also a father and friend became even more precious.

I brought Chu Yan here today because I wanted to introduce the person I cherish the most to him.
