Chapter 75

The note was pinched into a ball by Gu Qi and held tightly in the palm of his hand.

He raised his head to look at the golden palace that was completely silent, and all the officials remained silent, waiting for him to make the final decision.

Looking from the top of the main hall, you can almost see the hazy outline of mountains in the distance beyond the overlapping glazed tiles shining in the sun.

This is his country.

His world.

There was an indescribable surge in Gu Qi's chest, and he finally squeezed the note tightly, and said calmly, "As I wish, the draft will start in ten days."

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials bowed in unison, "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old!"

The draft is not only the control of the government by those in power, but also the political capital that these ambitious politicians who are courtiers hope to take this opportunity to obtain.

Who doesn't want women from their own family to enter the harem?
If she can get the crown prince's favor, her family will also feel proud in the future.

Many people squinted at Zhao Wu, look at this one, isn't he just a role model?
It's a pity that the unique Dingguo Duke in the past may not be as prestigious for a long time in the future, so what if His Royal Highness the Crown Princess's surname is Zhao?The prince's harem is about to step into countless new confidante, who knows which one will be favored in the future?
Since ancient times, liking the new and disliking the old has been the true nature of a man, especially for emperors.

After Gu Qi got off the morning court, he went directly to the imperial study room, playing with the crumpled note in his hand, just looking at his expression, he didn't know what he was thinking.

He always knew that Chu Yan was smart, but he didn't expect her to be so thorough, her heart was like a mirror, she saw through every move of his chess, and guessed every thought of him.

He has the determination to win this country, even if he is only a prince now, he has not really climbed to the top of the nine palaces, and the power in his hands is not strong enough to make him an emperor like Gu Yuan.

But he is moving towards that day step by step.

And Chu Yan was fulfilling him in her own way, just like what she said back then.

Throughout the day, he was a little dazed, and he always wandered off while reading the brochures, and when he was not paying attention, his thoughts drifted to Chu Yan.

The efficiency of handling political affairs today was so low that he was speechless for a while, and at dusk, the thick pile of paperwork on the table did not decrease much at all.

Finally throwing down the book in his hand, he turned his head to look at the darkening sky outside his eyes, "Hold the lamp and go back to the palace."

Above the Mohe River, no matter day or night, it is equally lively, and the singing and dancing are peaceful, so pleasant.

And in one of the gorgeous painting boats, the son-in-law, dressed in white clothes like an exiled fairy, raised his wine glass and respected Prince Gong who was sitting opposite.

"My lord, when the day of the draft is coming, when the old state of the court is broken and new forces continue to pour in, the lord's plan can be implemented smoothly. Qin Shu is here to congratulate the lord first, and wish the lord a great future!"

Prince Gong Gu Chushi was only a few years older than the crown prince, with a calm face and firm eyes. At this moment, he was also steadily holding up the white jade wine glass. There was a glint of ruthlessness in his eyes, as if he had an overriding desire for success.

Power, status, fame.

What he pursued was not only these, but also the throne overlooking the country-the throne that should have belonged to his father.

After a brief meeting with Qin Shu, the painting boat docked, and the white figure disappeared on the shore.

A moment later, Gu Chushi in the boat clapped his hands three times suddenly, and a graceful woman slowly walked out from the room behind the bead curtain.

The interior of the painting boat was covered with colorful carpets, and the walls were inlaid with decorations made of jewels. In such a colorful space, the appearance of the woman would not be inferior in the slightest.

Her eyes are not too big, but they are long and narrow, protruding upwards, like a fox.

The lips are plump and red, without any rouge, but they are naturally as moist and beautiful as rubies.

But between such soul-stirring eyebrows, there is a quiet and noble expression. She stands there dignifiedly, like green pines and cypresses on the cliff that cannot be grasped.

Such a contradictory yet natural beauty.

Gu Chushi looked at her, and his eyes slowly moved down from her face. She was the most graceful and beautiful woman he had ever seen.

The chest is tall and plump, but the waist is extremely slender, and the slender legs are clearly visible under the light and transparent gauze skirt, with graceful curves.

The woman was only wearing a thin gauze dress, although it was as long as the floor, but because it was too transparent, it had a kind of beauty that half covered her face while still holding a pipa, which was more alluring than wearing nothing at all.

Seeing her dressed up like this, she should have a gaudy feeling of a brothel woman, but her expression has always maintained such an elegant and beautiful state, as if she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her appearing in front of a grown man like this.

Natural and without distractions.

Gu Chushi's eyes gradually deepened, he stretched out his hand towards her, and said unhurriedly, "Azheng."

The woman named Ah Zheng came to him docilely and obediently, and sat on his lap as usual, her warm and delicate skin directly touched his body through the tulle.

Usually when he reaches out to her and looks at her like this, she knows what she should do.

There was the sound of a piano playing inside the bead curtain, and Azheng slowly bent down, opened her mouth slightly, bit the skirt of his clothes with her teeth, and then let go little by little.

The son-in-law, dressed in white, strolled leisurely by the river. Although he couldn't hear the sound of the painting boat, a clear scene slowly emerged in front of his eyes.

Shu Qin was selected from the group of women by him after thousands of choices. She is good at piano skills, has a good appearance, and most importantly, she is careful enough.

Her piano art was taught by Su Yirong herself, and the way to seduce men was taught by the most famous bustard in the capital.

Qin Shu took advantage of a chance to let her be "selected" by Prince Gong to go to the palace. From then on, she became the plaything of the other party in name, but secretly it was Qin Shu's secret work.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

When Gu Chu thought that Yue Zheng would be his best weapon against the prince, he didn't know that Shu Qin would also become Qin Shu's best weapon to control him.

The dusk is getting darker, and the tired bird returns to the south.

Gu Qi got off the chariot outside Yong'an Palace, and walked slowly into the vermilion palace gate.

When he walked to the front yard, he paused and glanced in the direction of the side hall, where the lights had already been turned off.

I don't know why but he was relieved, as if there was a reason to avoid something openly.

No matter whether Chu Yan understands him, or he relies on her trust to be selfish, ever since the edict for the draft was issued, there is always a knot in Gu Qi's heart that cannot be solved.

Just saying yesterday that he would always be with her, making such a decision today... Even he himself felt like a joke.

He breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the main hall.

Unexpectedly, just as he climbed up the stairs, he found a bright lantern flickering at the end of the corridor.

He turned his head quickly, and saw Chu Yan standing there quietly holding a lantern under the eaves at the corner, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.

After meeting Gu Qi's eyes, Chu Yan smiled slightly, and called out in a clear voice, "Your Highness."

Gu Qi stood there without saying a word, as if hesitating how to face her.

Chu Yan walked up to him step by step, the lantern in her hand swaying with her steps, there was a kind of gentleness in this silent night.

She chuckled and asked him, "Why doesn't Your Highness dare to look at me?"

Only then did Gu Qi slowly raise his eyes to look at her, with complicated expressions in his eyes, but he didn't answer the question, "...it's so late, why don't you go to sleep?"

Chu Yan stretched out her hand to gather his clothes for him, and said slowly, "I'm afraid that if I go to bed early, Your Highness won't be able to sleep tonight."

After withdrawing her hand, she raised her eyes and gave Gu Qi a slight glance, "Your Highness, you don't have to feel that you have failed me. Since ancient times, which king has not had three thousand beauties in the harem? What's more, Your Highness's selection is not because of lust, but for better Chu Yan understands how to control the government and balance the situation in the palace."

Gu Qi's hands slowly closed, his face was blurred under the light and shadow, "You really don't blame me at all in your heart?"

... You just left mother, it was the moment when I was needed, but I married another woman back to the palace at this time.

Chu Yan said, "I have said long ago that I hope that His Highness will be able to fulfill his wish one day and realize his great ambitions. Now that Your Highness is walking towards that road day by day, how can I blame you?"

After a pause, she lowered her head and chuckled, "...but I'm still a little worried. I'm afraid that you will like the new and dislike the old, and that you will be snatched away by others... If that day really comes, it can only mean that I have no ability to tie you down. At that time, it will be really uncomfortable, so I simply move to Jingshang Palace to live with the queen mother, with morning bells and evening drums, accompanied by blue lights, it is considered clean, at least out of sight and out of mind."

"Chu Yan!" Gu Qi was slightly annoyed, he stretched out his hand to lift her chin, quickly pulled her into his arms, blocked her nonsense mouth as punishment, and kissed her until she was out of breath and her cheeks were flushed.

"Are you still talking nonsense?" His eyes were gloomy.

Chu Yan curled her lips, "Who knows if it's nonsense or if it's a true guess?"

Occasionally, I still have to play to my death, otherwise it will lose a little bit of fun.

The next moment, she felt the dizziness in front of her intuition, and she was suddenly picked up by someone, and the lantern in her hand fell to the ground. The bright light shook a few times, and then slowly went out.

Gu Qi hugged her and walked towards the main hall, saying word by word, "Prince Princess is eloquent, it seems that we have to have a good fight tonight."

Chu Yan subconsciously hugged his neck, but said in her mouth, "A gentleman uses his mouth but doesn't move his hands!"

Gu Qi paused, and looked at her with a half-smile, "...so the Crown Princess likes me to use my mouth? No problem, madam, please rest assured."

Chu Yan: "...."

This comprehension ability... is outstanding...
