Chapter 34

The imperial edict from the palace was for the Fu family to enter the palace to attend His Majesty's birthday banquet.

In fact, although the Fu family produced Imperial Concubine Xian, the Fu family was still a merchant family. Even if they were the richest in the world, their status in the ancient times was still not high. It was very difficult for them to be qualified to attend His Majesty's palace banquet.

Therefore, when he received the news, Master Fu was so happy that his face was rotting with laughter. Fu Junli frowned and stared at the invitation name 'Du Yunxi' on the imperial edict with an ugly expression.

Obviously, he suddenly remembered that day when Ji Changyin invited Gu Bai to the pavilion to drink tea. Could it be that this arrogant crown prince had taken a fancy to Yunxi?

Thinking of this possibility, Fu Junli did not know why, but a very irritated feeling arose in his heart.

When Gu Bai heard the news, he was instantly happy. He was considering whether to sneak into the palace in the middle of the night to meet the man. He did not expect the man to take the initiative so quickly. Sure enough, their hearts were linked!

After choosing clothes for a long time in the room, Gu Bai finally chose a red brocade robe with dark flowers and put it on excitedly.

The original appearance of the body was exquisite and seductive. Usually, Gu Bai wore this skin and was dressed in white, looking like a banished immortal child.

But at this moment, the young man with red lips and white teeth was dressed in a red robe like blood. His clothes fluttered in the wind. He clearly had the same appearance as before, but he gave people a completely different feeling.

The young man had a light smile on his lips and his eyes were filled with a strange light. He was like the blood lotus in purgatory, beautiful and enchanting, but also extremely dangerous.

Fu Junli's eyes flashed with a trace of amazement and his heart jumped. It took him a long time to react. He walked over and put his arm around Gu Bai's shoulder to help him into the carriage. His movements were never gentle.

Although today was His Majesty's birthday, the main character of the banquet was not His Majesty.

The aged His Majesty had returned to his palace to rest after receiving the birthday congratulations from the courtiers. The following banquet was hosted by the crown prince, Ji Changyin.

He sat boldly on the seat of honor with his back ramrod straight. He placed one hand on his knee and held a wine glass in the other. He lightly swept his gaze over the people present. The gloomy and evil aura around him made people tremble in fear and tremble in fear.

One had to know that in recent years, the Crown Prince's temper had become more and more irritable and ruthless. Not to mention provoking him, even if one was unlucky enough to meet him when he was in a bad mood, it was possible to invite a bloody disaster.

Especially when they heard that the Crown Prince was not in a good mood recently. Therefore, after the Emperor left, everyone sat in their seats and did not even dare to breathe loudly. They were afraid that the Crown Prince would notice that their lives were over today.

However, there was only one person present who wasn't afraid.

Gu Bai sat in the lower seat and looked at the man curiously and excitedly. Although the man's appearance was different every time, they all had one thing in common: handsome and domineering. He gave off the feeling of a king descending to the world.

Although she had never been to the Underworld, it was rumored that there were six paths of reincarnation in the Underworld. Those who were reincarnated with riches and honor would be rewarded with good karma. She didn't know if this man was too lucky or what, but every time he was reincarnated, his identity would be very honorable.

At the same time, when he looked at the man, the man was also looking at him.

The young man's skin was like jade, his lips were as red as blood, and his beautiful eyebrows reached his temples. Today, he was dressed in red, which made his exquisite appearance look even more demonic.

However, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this exquisite appearance and that pair of eyes didn't match. It was as if they were two different people. He ignored the appearance at a glance and looked at the pair of beautiful eyes.

At this moment, those eyes were staring straight at him with a gaze full of joy. Ji Changyin's heart was moved and he was in a very good mood.

"Go and call that young master over …"

He raised his hand and pointed in Gu Bai's direction.

Because the hall was very quiet at this time, his actions and voice were very abrupt and everyone heard him immediately.

Almost immediately, everyone's faces turned pale and they looked in the direction he was pointing. When they confirmed that it wasn't them, they sighed in relief. Then, they looked in the direction he was pointing and saw Gu Bai, their hearts filled with sympathy.

Although everyone knew that His Highness the Crown Prince wasn't interested in beauty, the Crown Prince was still a man. It was impossible for him to not have any thoughts in that regard.

Even if the Young Master Du brought by the Fu family was a man, his appearance was even more beautiful and seductive than a woman's. It wasn't strange for him to be fancied, and no one dared to stop him.

Not to mention an inconspicuous young man, even if it was a concubine in His Majesty's harem, no one would dare to stop His Highness the Crown Prince!

"Young Master Du, His Highness invites you …"

The eunuch walked to the Fu family's table. His treacherous voice made people's hair stand on end.

Gu Bai didn't feel anything and was in a good mood. Fu Junli's body stiffened in an instant. Seeing Ji Changyin staring straight at Gu Bai, his fingers holding the wine cup turned white. Did the Crown Prince really take a fancy to Yun Xi?

… …

While he was tossing and turning, Gu Bai had already gotten up and walked over with the eunuch. His steps were cheerful and he had a smile on his face. He didn't feel afraid at all. The night wind blew his red clothes. From afar, he looked like a poppy flower with a strange demonic aura.

"Yun Xi toasts to His Highness …"

Gu Bai walked over and picked up the wine pot with a smile. He filled the empty cup on the table with wine and slowly handed it to Ji Changyin.

Ji Changyin smiled and took it and drank it. After drinking it, he personally filled the empty cup again and handed it to him. His eyes were burning.

This kind of gaze and expression did not show his thoughts. The courtiers below revealed an expression of "as expected" and then consciously lowered their heads.

Fu Junli's hand that was holding the wine cup shook, and the wine inside spilled on his clothes without him knowing. His eyes were fixed on Ji Changyin's expression, and he felt helpless as if his things had been snatched away.

Gu Bai was slightly stunned, and then he couldn't help but laugh. He thought to himself that this man was still the same as before. He readily took the wine and drank it.

He guessed that the man's behavior today must be because he knew about what happened to him in the Fu family and was jealous!

"Good, good, good!

Come, sit with me and drink with me … "

Seeing Gu Bai drink the wine and two beautiful blushes appear on his cheeks, Ji Changyin's heart suddenly beat wildly. He couldn't help but laugh loudly and reached out to pull him to his side.

There was a rule in great Chu that the higher the status of the person, the wider the chair. As the crown prince, Ji Changyin's chair was naturally much wider than ordinary people's. Gu Bai sat beside him and it didn't seem crowded.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this. Ji Changyin didn't care about everyone's gazes and personally poured wine for Gu Bai and picked up some food. He wanted to show the youth's ownership in this way, so that others would not have any thoughts of spying on the youth!

"Why aren't you wearing white today, and why aren't you smoking orchid incense?" Ji Changyin handed the wine cup to Gu Bai and asked in a low voice.

The man's question was baffling, but Gu Bai understood the meaning behind it. It was clear that the man had not only investigated his identity, but also the Fu family's matters.

His desire to control was really strong!

Gu Bai secretly thought and stared at him with a smile.

"Seeing you today, I naturally have to wear what I like. A woman will dress up for the one she likes. This saying is also applicable to men. Do you like red or white?"

Ji Changyin was happy to hear 'dress up for the one she likes', but he still cared about the information he had found these days. He continued to speak in a low voice.

"Fu Junli has an old lover. You usually wear white and smoke orchid incense. Did you learn from that person to curry favor with Fu Junli?

Do you like him? "

Ji Changyin's voice was hoarse and unhappy when he said the last sentence.

"No!

Yun Xi only likes him, Gu Bai doesn't … "Since they were far away, Gu Bai wasn't afraid of being heard by Fu Junli.

As soon as he said this, Ji Changyin frowned. He didn't know the truth and couldn't understand Gu Bai's words. Whether it was Gu Bai or Yun Xi, he found that they were the same person, but the youth always separated them into two.

Ji Changyin was a little helpless. The youth was really unpredictable, but if he couldn't figure it out, then he wouldn't think about it. No matter who the youth was or what he wanted to do, he was someone he liked.

"Whether you're Yun Xi or Gu Bai, from now on, you're my woman. I won't allow you to put your thoughts on other men, not even a glance …"

"You're so overbearing …" Gu Bai glared at him and then narrowed his eyes and smiled. "But I like it!"

Ji Changyin paused for a while before he reacted. Then, he couldn't help but laugh out loud in his heart, attracting the attention of the people around him.

On the other side, Fu Junli couldn't help it when he saw the two of them talking and laughing intimately. He got up and wanted to walk over, but in the next moment, Ji Changyin signaled someone to stop him. He stared at him and said in a sinister voice.

"Yesterday, I got a peerless beauty. Her zither skills are the best in the world. Today, I'm excited. I'll let the beauty play some music and enjoy it with everyone …"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone raised their heads. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had personally spoken. If they didn't give him face, they would be courting death.

After a few breaths, a young man in white slowly appeared. His long hair was loose and scattered behind him. It was smooth and smooth like fine silk satin.

Beneath a pair of delicate, feminine eyebrows were a pair of enchanting, beautiful, azure blue eyes, adding a bit of beauty to his noble and peerless demeanor.

"Lian Zhi …"

Fu Junli's body trembled and he stared blankly at the person who came.

Rong Lianzhi also saw him. Suddenly, the two of them exuded an ambiguous and sorrowful aura that seemed to say, "Tearful eyes ask the flowers, but the flowers remain silent."

Gu Bai also stared at the person in the field. In the plot, this noble and elegant white lotus didn't come back at this time and the way he appeared was also wrong.

He turned his head and saw Ji Changyin's unfathomable gaze staring at him. He suddenly smiled. Needless to say, this must be the work of this vinegar jar.

Although he was a little surprised that the white lotus appeared early, it didn't matter. At most, he would change the next task strategy.

I'm not afraid that you'll come back, I'm afraid that you won't come back. There's a good saying, imagination is full, reality is the backbone. When there are no good memories, Lian Zhi is just Lian Zhi.

Thinking of this, Gu Bai took a piece of pastry from the table and fed it to Ji Changyin with a charming smile.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you still need someone to warm your bed in the East Palace?"

Ji Changyin didn't speak, but his dark eyes were burning with anger.

He stared at Gu Bai, then opened his mouth and put the pastry into his mouth. The tip of his tongue very well expressed his feelings.
