Chapter 59 Jade Pendant

"Meaning!" The colorful parrot next to him hopped and screamed strangely with his mouth open.

The emperor stretched out his fingers and scratched the parrot's chin lightly twice.

Chu You's body stretched even tighter, and hideous veins popped up around his neck.

Since the emperor ascended the throne at the beginning of the year, he has adopted a series of benevolent policies. The attitude of the emperor is magnanimous at best, but indecisive and soft-hearted at worst.

Who knew that this time it didn't go as he expected!

Chu You held his breath in his heart, and emotions of anxiety, worry, and uneasiness were intertwined and entangled in his chest, like a huge spider web entangled him.

He is not afraid of the emperor, let alone the British government, but he is afraid that Gu Yunxie will think that she has hurt him, and for his sake, he will not hesitate to wrong her to accept this marriage.

Chu Yi took a sip of hot tea slowly, before he said again: "Uncle Qihuang really cares about the third girl in the Dingyuanhou's mansion. However, you can only gain something if you give up, what does Uncle Huang think?"

There was a faint smile on the corner of Chu Yi's mouth.

"..." Chu You's eyes turned cold again, and he shot at Chu Yi as coldly as a knife.

Of course he understood what Chu Yi meant.

"Ahem..." Chu Yi turned his eyes away, lowered his eyes, covered the corner of his mouth with a plain white handkerchief, and coughed lightly, his slightly trembling shoulders could hardly conceal his exhaustion.

He coughed for a long time before calming down, raised his head and picked up the teacup, took a few sips, his cheeks flushed slightly.

Chu You narrowed his eyes and stared at Chu Yi coldly for a long, long time...

Inside the East Nuan Pavilion, there was silence for a while, only the parrot occasionally flapped its wings twice on the bird stand, making a rustling sound.

After a long time, Chu You, who had been standing still for a long time, moved, and saluted the emperor dryly: "Brother emperor, I will take my leave first."

Without waiting for the emperor to respond, he flicked his sleeves and strode away, his back as straight as a pine.

Before the waiter could open the curtain for him, Chu You violently lifted the curtain by himself.

The door curtain was lifted high by him, and then fell heavily, swinging violently in mid-air.

Along the way, several servants and palace maids saluted him one after another, but Chu You completely ignored him, and walked out of Dongnuan Pavilion three steps at a time.

He saw a familiar figure entering his eyes.

It was a thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old man, wearing a straight gown with Taishi blue dark patterns, a rhino horn belt around his waist, a small chicken blood stone seal and a sky blue purse, with cropped temple hair and a dignified appearance.

"See His Royal Highness Kang Wang."

The man stopped five steps away, and respectfully saluted Chu You with his hands clasped.

There was no fault in the other party's words and deeds, but Chu You's face was a little darker than the naked eye.

Of course he recognized this person, the other party was Fang Mingfeng's father, the current British Duke.

Obviously, Duke Ying came into the palace at this time, he must have come to propose marriage to the emperor for Fang Mingfeng.

Chu You only cast a sideways glance at British Duke, then walked away without saying a word.

Passing through a courtyard, Chu You stopped, couldn't help turning his head, and happened to watch Ying Yinggong enter the East Nuan Pavilion greeted by the servant.

It was empty outside the door, only a broken leaf was blown by the wind, spinning and falling down.

Chu You's heart sank little by little following the lonely leaf.

Judging from the emperor's attitude just now, with the empress dowager's golden words first, maybe the emperor would really agree with the British government's delusion.

Chu You gritted his teeth fiercely, almost crushing a mouthful of teeth, and then remembered Chu Yi's words just now: "...you can only gain if you give up, what does the emperor think?"

Even if Chu Yi didn't explain it just now, the implication is very clear: today he can get what he wants, but if he wants the emperor to stand up for him, what can he return to the emperor? !

If he wants to marry his wife, he must have something he can offer in exchange.

So what can he come up with? !

Thinking about it, Chu You's eyes became more and more gloomy, and there seemed to be a violent beast roaring in his heart, maddened.

The cold wind kept whistling, and the weather was gloomy and cold. Chu You was preoccupied and walked faster and faster.

He wants to see his baby boy soon!

When he came outside the palace gate, he saw the long follower leading the horse stretching his neck and watching from a distance.

"My lord," the long follower hastily stepped forward to greet him, and hurriedly said, "I just heard that the Duke and Duchess of England have gone to the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion."

Chu You's eyes widened suddenly, and two clusters of flames ignited in his pupils. His heart was soaring, and there was only one thought left in his mind: the British Duke came to see the emperor, and the British Duke and his wife went to Gu's house again at this time...

Could it be that he committed a crime just to force Xie'er? !

The British princess has indeed gone to Dingyuanhou's mansion at this moment.

In the past few days, Gu Jian and his wife had sent a post to the British government, but nothing came of it, and the Fang family never responded.

Mrs. Gu became more impatient the longer she waited, and ordered her cronies to go to the British government in person, and then invited the British lady over.

Naturally, this matter could not be hidden from Gu Yanfei's ears. At this time, the Duke and Duchess of England will come, presumably the Madam Tai made some kind of promise.

Mrs. Tai will not easily give up Kang Wang as the "grandson-in-law". If the British government wants to stop the flag, it is likely that some other conditions have been put forward...

So, she ordered Qingguang to go to Cihetang again.

It was not the first time that Qingguang sneaked to Cihetang. He knew the way and walked back and forth without disturbing anyone.

After only one stick of incense, the cat came back, with a pair of shiny eyes and a belly full of words.

The milk cat "whoosh" jumped from the window to the desk, and "meowed" at Gu Yanfei incessantly, with an obvious expression of showing off and asking for credit, and the proud little appearance nakedly wrote "Without me, What can you do" words.

"Meow meow……"

"Meow meow meow……"

It kept talking dryly, but seeing that Gu Yanfei didn't feel grateful to it for it, it slowly realized that Gu Yanfei couldn't understand.

The cat froze for a moment, and the fluff all over its body visibly wilted to the naked eye.

Gu Yanfei opened a box next to it, and a delicious smell of crispy dried fish wafted out immediately.

The listless cat immediately opened its blue eyes, the eyes were shining, full of desire for dried fish.

It regained its energy, bit Gu Yanfei's sleeve, and pulled her towards the dressing table.

The cat jumped onto the dressing table two or three times, pawed at the jewelry box with its claws, and finally hooked a jade pendant with the tip of its curved claws, and scratched it excitedly.

Qingguang: "Meow meow..."

Gu Yanfei took the jasper pendant from the cat's paw in a daze.

This is an ordinary round jade pendant, with a cloud pattern carved on the edge and a butterfly pattern in the center.

Not only Gu Yanfei has this jade pendant, but all the girls in the Gu family have it, but the patterns are slightly different, some are dragonflies, some are swallows, some are skylarks...

Gu Yanfei shook her index finger lightly, and the jasper pendant hanging on her index finger also swayed back and forth.

Qingguang immediately attracted his attention, and the pair of green cat eyes moved back and forth with the jade pendant, making a "meow, meow" sound from his mouth.

Of course Gu Yanfei didn't think that the British princess wanted this jade pendant.

That should be a piece of jade pendant that is so "precious" that the British duchess wants to get it at all costs.

Reminiscent of the British government in the previous life who clearly looked down on her, but once gritted their teeth to admit this marriage; think of a few days ago, the British princess came to the door with her son for this marriage... Gu Yanfei instantly understood something, could it be for the jade pendant? Will the government let his son condescend to marry her as a substitute? !

Or, to the Fang family, it doesn't matter whether it is Gu Yunxie or Gu Yanfei who has a marriage contract with Fang Mingfeng, what is important is the jade pendant.
