Chapter 193 Ingratitude and Deceit (28)
Gu Yao, who was lost in thought, was taken aback when he heard this. He didn't expect that the fire would spread to him, who was just watching the show.
He didn't care because he knew the little wolf cub would never accept these girls, but now he's given him such a big surprise.
People are sitting at the table when a pot falls from the sky.
Hearing these slightly probing words and feeling the gazes shifting from all directions, Gu Yao sighed softly.
He lazily rose and gave the boy a perfunctory bow, saying, "I will obey Your Majesty's decree."
He then looked down at the girls below, who were sixteen or seventeen years old and as bright and beautiful as flowers.
They shouldn't be wasting their time in this deep palace.
That delicate and beautiful face clearly shows that she has been well cared for and pampered.
What skills do you have?
The young man's voice was calm and clear, and he deliberately softened his tone, but it made the boy sitting on the high platform turn pale.
The girl below timidly looked up at the young man in front of her, and breathed a slight sigh of relief when she met his gentle gaze.
"The commoner girl is skilled in dancing."
"This commoner is skilled at playing the flute."
Once the first one was discovered, a second one followed, and seven or eight girls took turns announcing what they were good at.
They are all just skills cultivated to please others.
Gu Yao sighed almost inaudibly.
He turned to the young man and bowed, “Your Majesty, these women are skilled in music and dance. In that case, let us bring all these women into the music academy for training, so that they may serve as dancers and musicians at palace banquets.”
Upon hearing this, Bu Shaoluan raised an eyebrow, looked at the boy with his head down in front of him, and smiled slightly. "Then let's do as Master Shen says."
Bu Qianyan, who was watching the show from the sidelines, had a sudden glint in his eyes.
The incident, neither too big nor too small, passed just like that.
The world was only achieved when Prince Heng was injured.
***
After the banquet, Gu Yao slowly walked towards Ruotang Courtyard, but was stopped by Bu Qianyan halfway there.
Amidst the interplay of light and shadow in the trees, he looked up and sized up the Prince Ning before him, a man with an excellent reputation among the common people, the imperial court, and the royal family.
Bu Qianyan, the late emperor's younger brother, was also Bu Shaoluan's youngest uncle.
Unfortunately, he was too young to fight back when the palace coup occurred.
The Gu family, who led troops to purge the emperor's corrupt advisors, chose the then-Prince of Li, the corrupt emperor.
The fact that the king "Li" (离) was evident in how much he disliked him.
If it weren't for the Gu family protecting him and placing him on the throne, he would most likely have never had the chance to become emperor.
But it is precisely because they are young that the people in front of them are able to survive.
After all, the Qin king who betrayed the dynasty had killed many adult princes.
Gu Yao smiled slightly at the Prince of Ning, who was just over thirty years old, and asked, "What business does Your Highness have with me?"
Bu Qianyan looked at the handsome young man in front of him and gave him a friendly smile. "Is Manager Shen not leaving the palace?"
Seeing the young man approaching, Gu Yao's eyes sharpened, and he took a step back.
"Your Majesty, please keep me in the palace."
Gu Yao's beautiful face was hidden in the shadows of the trees, making it impossible to see her expression.
The young man's voice carried a hint of detachment and coldness.
Perhaps that pretty face is still cold now.
It's sure to be awesome.
Bu Qianyan licked his lips, a covetous glint in his eyes.
Looking at the young man before him, he put on his mask of hypocrisy. "Why is Master Shen so cold? I have long wanted to befriend such a celestial being."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yao's face showed disgust.
Both praised him as having "divine beauty," but the person in front of him was so different from Baili Weisheng, and he had a sticky, disgusting quality to him.
Gu Yao always trusted his intuition.
He looked at the young man in front of him. He was clearly being kind, but something about him seemed off.
It's like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.
He didn't want to stay there any longer.
Bu Qianyan made him very uncomfortable, but he hadn't done anything wrong, so he couldn't lash out for no reason.
We'd better hurry up and leave.
Gu Yao nodded to Prince Ning, "Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
The young man strode forward, and as he passed Bu Qianyan, the strands of his hair that were lifted up released a unique fragrance.
It's sandalwood.
Bu Qianyan's eyes darkened, revealing a hint of excitement.
He reached out and grabbed Gu Yao's wrist.
My fingers traced a path along my wrist and across the back of my hand.
"Master Shen, don't be in such a hurry to leave. How about we have a small gathering at my residence tomorrow?"
When another temperature that didn't belong to him approached, Gu Yao's entire body reacted with stress.
But he suppressed it fiercely.
He suppressed the urge to break the hand of the smiling young man in front of him.
You cannot use your internal energy. You cannot use your internal energy.
Gu Yao silently recited Ying Lian's instructions, trying to pull his hand back, but Bu Qianyan held it even tighter.
Oh shit!
Looking at the person in front of him who was taking an inch and then a mile, Gu Yao felt that he was about to lose control of his primal power.
He wanted to get rid of Bu Qianyan.
Just as Gu Yao was about to risk injury to make a move, a clear, melodious voice came from behind him, "What are you doing?"
The boy strode over, his voice tinged with anger.
As they approached, they saw the two men's hands clasped together, their eyes filled with a deep, dark look.
Bu Qianyan wasn't afraid at all. He looked at the young emperor in front of him with a smile and said, "I'm inviting Minister Shen to my residence for a small gathering tomorrow. Minister Shen and I hit it off immediately."
When Bu Qianyan said "it felt like we'd known each other forever," he deliberately spoke in a sticky and intimate tone, and his gaze intentionally or unintentionally fell on Gu Yao.
It gives people endless imagination.
The good show reveals the past between the two.
Gu Yao frowned. "Your Highness Prince Ning, I did not agree to your request."
As he spoke, Gu Yao pulled his hand away.
Seeing Gu Yao's expression that said "we're not familiar with each other," Bu Qianyan sighed softly, as if he were somewhat helpless.
With his head bowed, he exuded endless loneliness.
Bu Shaoluan didn't care about his state of mind. He coldly pulled Gu Yao, who was twisting his wrist, behind him and looked at Bu Qianyan with hostility.
Gu Yao was pulled so hard that he stumbled.
Looking at the boy blocking his way, he realized that the little wolf cub was already taller than him.
He's quite robust.
It looks very reassuring.
"Prince Ning, don't reach too far, or you'll break your hand."
Before Bu Shaoluan could finish his warning, he pulled Gu Yao away.
His footsteps carried a hint of disordered anger.
Having been warned, Bu Qianyan watched the two walk away hand in hand and smiled slightly.
Raise your hand, and the sandalwood scent on your fingertips brings peace of mind.
A hint of infatuation appeared in Bu Qianyan's eyes.
Shen Xuntang?
What a pleasant surprise!
