The Favored Concubine: The Doting Prince

The long-awaited celebration banquet finally ended. On the way back home, Gu Fanyue thought that Fanqiu would have a lot to say to her.

Whether it is praise, questioning, or discussion, there is always a lot to say.

But the most frightening thing now is that Fan Qiu is so quiet that the sound of the wheels running on the ground can be heard clearly.

Gu Fanqiu has been silent since getting on the carriage, with a look of worry on his face. Yuan Mo, who was sitting opposite him, kept staring at Fanqiu, not daring to breathe. It seems that things are not so easy to solve.

Just now, when he saw his sister being pushed into the center of the storm, Fan Qiu just thought that he had to block it first to slow down the situation.

But when I really agreed to it, I was still confused.

By the time they arrived at the palace, it was already late, so Fan Qiu sent Cui Tao to take Gu Fanyue back to her own yard to rest, and they could talk about it tomorrow if there was anything else.

Gu Fanyue knew that Gu Fanqiu must be tossing and turning tonight. She couldn't bear it and felt that all her troubles came from her, but she couldn't say anything.

But when he ran to his own courtyard, all the memories of Linrui Palace popped up in his mind.

The way Yuan Yi walked towards her, the embroidery on Yuan Yi's robe, and Yuan Yi's hand holding the wine glass.

Gu Fanyue didn't need to think about everything about Yuan Yi actively, as the scenes repeated themselves in his mind over and over again.

Gu Fanyue held the hairpin in her hand and suddenly found that its red color was not so bloody anymore, but as beautiful as the red flower forest that day.

When Gu Fanyue learned from Feixue for the third time, when Yuan Yi snatched people from her, Feixue couldn't stand it anymore, so she chose to turn her head towards the wall, her butt and tail towards Fanyue, and gave up resistance.

Gu Fanyue just stayed like that, holding the hairpin in her hand, smiling foolishly. She fell asleep while smiling, and was woken up by the noisy sounds in the yard the next day.

The first moment Gu Fanyue woke up, he looked at his hands, which were empty.

The hairpin that I was holding tightly was gone!

Then Gu Fanyue tossed around on the bed, pulling off the quilt and the pillow, just like Wang Yueran when she got up in the morning and checked her phone.

But I didn't dare to move too much, for fear that it would be wrapped in the quilt and I would lift it off.

"Well, what are you looking for, Miss?"

There was something going on in the mansion today, so Cuitao wanted to wake her young lady up early and went to prepare warm water for washing.

As soon as he came in with the copper basin, he saw Gu Fanyue dancing like a lion on the bed.

Gu Fanyue saw his crisp peach coming back.

She cried out "Wow" first, then "My hairpin is missing." Gu Fanyue was already crying.

But what I was thinking was, hey, that's my token of love, the key to the door of love!

Cuitao first glanced at Gu Fanyue with a hint of disdain in her eyes, then placed the copper basin firmly on the wooden rack, turned around, and took out an exquisite wooden box from the small drawer on the dressing table.

She handed it to Fanyue, who opened it and found the red jade hairpin, intact.

"Second Miss, you really trust yourself. If this thing had stayed in your hands for a night, you would have thrown it to the ground and smashed it to pieces."

Last night, when Cuitao came to help Gu Fanyue go to bed, she saw that Gu Fanyue was already sleeping in a crooked position, with the red hairpin lying on the edge of the bed, precariously positioned.

After getting the hairpin, Gu Fanyue first looked at it as a treasure, then heard some noise outside, and looked out the window with a puzzled look on her face.

"What's going on here"

Cuitao's face sank. "The princess didn't want to disturb you. She said that the emperor in the palace wanted our prince to come to the palace to meet him."

Fan Yue's hand holding the hairpin suddenly tightened. Is it so fast?

Fan Yue quickly lifted the quilt and was about to put on her shoes and clothes and run out, but Cui Tao held her down and made her wash up simply.

"Will Second Miss wear your precious hairpin today?"

Gu Fanyue shook his head and said, "Let's keep it for now."

When Fan Yue and Cui Tao walked to the front yard, they found that Fan Qiu had already walked back from the palace gate.

Fan Qiu was still dressed neatly today and did not look flustered at all, but he looked tired and his eyes showed that he had been crying.

But as she watched Gu Fanyue approaching from afar, she still tried hard to force a smile.

Early this morning, a notice was received from the palace saying that the emperor wanted to see the third prince Yuan Mo.

This news caused chaos in the Three Princes' Palace. Yuan Mo, the idle prince, had been in office for a long time. He had stopped attending court meetings a long time ago and would not enter the palace except for the New Year activities.

As a result, when he entered the palace yesterday, there was a big drama. Now he entered the palace again today, there must be something going on.

Yuan Mo had already gotten up, combed his hair in an ordinary style, put on ordinary clothes, and hurriedly changed into a golden crown and a red robe. Not daring to delay for a moment, he got in a carriage and rushed to the palace.

Gu Fanqiu calmly directed the maids and servants and finally sent the gentleman to the carriage. However, when the carriage drove away, his heart began to panic along with the sound of horse hooves.

Gu Fanqiu pretended nothing happened in front of Gu Fanyue.

But throughout the whole day, Fan Qiu couldn't eat or drink water, and he just kept looking at the door.

It felt like I lost a lot of weight in just one day.

Finally, when the sun set, a procession of carriages slowly drove towards the Three Princes' Palace.

As soon as Yuan Mo left the palace, he sent someone home to report. Fan Qiu, Fan Yue and others were already waiting at the door. When he saw Yuan Mo, he saw that he was wearing a dark red robe, which made him look even paler and melancholy. But when he saw Fan Qiu and Fan Yue, he forced a smile.

Seeing Fan Qiu coming over, Yuan Mo stretched out his hand, and Fan Qiu also extended his hand. Yuan Mo grabbed Fan Qiu's hand and rubbed it twice.

Fan Qiu felt his hands were cold, he must have had a very hard day.

"It's not a big deal, don't worry." Yuan Mo looked at the people standing at the door, all with serious faces, and comforted them.

He looked up at Gu Fanyue again and said, "Yue'er, go back to your yard and play. I have something to talk to your sister about." Under Yuan Mo's pleading gaze, Gu Fanyue had no choice but to return to her own yard.

Yuan Mo was not the kind of person who kept secrets. He knew things were not going well and they were related to him.

Fan Yue gave the fox a look, and the fox immediately followed them quietly.

Gu Fanyue drank cup after cup of tea, but still felt restless.

Then the fox came in, and first lay down peacefully on his mat.

Fan Yue stared at it, waiting for it to speak, "It's all because you humans don't have the ability to understand people's minds."

"Just say it." Fan Yue was very impatient.

"Your brother-in-law Yuan Mo was exiled to the frontier by his father."

"Exiled to the frontier, Yuan Mo?"

"Yes, the old emperor said that he would give Yuan Mo a chance to go to the frontier for training and to lead troops and take charge of power."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Fanyue felt his blood pressure rising.

It would be a joke to let Yuan Mo lead the troops.

Fox looked at Fan Yue again and continued, "From what your sister said, Yuan Yi wants to marry you, and the old emperor is worried about his sick son and is putting pressure on the Third Prince's Mansion."

The fox spoke in a calm tone, but Gu Fanyue felt both happy and sad in her heart, and felt very uncomfortable.

"Your brother-in-law should be packing his luggage now?"

"Prepare the luggage? He's preparing whatever he wants. He's also guarding the border. It's good enough if he can walk from here to the border." Fan Yue didn't mean to look down on Yuan Mo, but everyone has their specialties, and Yuan Mo was really not cut out for marching and fighting, and he had no ambition in that either. This was just torturing him.

Gu Fanyue suddenly felt that the emperor was not so amiable.

Isn’t the emperor afraid that Yuan Mo will die on the road?

"Don't they have any solution?" Although Yuan Mo is a soft-tempered person, his sister is not someone who will just sit there and wait for death.

Hearing this, Fox stood up, putting away his usual carefree expression, and looked a little serious. There was something moving in his eyes. "Your brother-in-law said that he is a man who will never let you and Gu Fanqiu down. You are secondary."

After hearing this, Fan Yue seemed to understand something. Yuan Mo was just that kind of person. He thought that she was not important, and Fan Qiu was the most important. He didn't want his Fan Qiu to choose between her husband and her sister, so he gave in automatically.

"You should have a good talk with your sister. You chose that person anyway, so why make them so upset?"

Looking at the somewhat sad fox, Fan Yue had never seen it with such an expression. It was always indifferent and arrogant, as if everything in the world was just a child's play and a joke. This was the first time he saw it so serious.

"This is the first time I see you so serious."

"What does it have to do with me? It's up to you whether you want to talk or not." After saying this, the fox turned around and walked out in the moonlight.

Gu Fanyue had a faint smile behind it. She found that there were more and more things in this world that could tie her down.
