Gong Ziyu was furious, but couldn't break free from Gong Langjiao's hand: "Let go of me quickly! I am Yugong's young master and Zhiren's son. Am I not qualified to handle a bowl of Angelica dahurica and Golden Grass Tea?!" At this time, he didn't remember to be angry with his father. After all, the title of "Zhiren's son" was really useful.

"Ah! I think you should just let go." Gong Yuanzheng pretended to be panicked and said to Gong Langjiao, "Brother Ziyu is Zhiren's son, who would dare to provoke him? It's just Angelica dahurica Golden Grass Tea. At worst, I can ask Zheng Gong to stop providing it to the palace. The poisonous miasma is just a small matter, Zhiren and the others can handle it themselves."

Gong Hongyu is in a state of panic, there is nothing he can do to solve it!

Just then, a servant came in and reported: "Sir, Master Jiao has entered the valley and will be outside the palace gate soon."

Gong Yuanzheng's eyes lit up, and he bowed to Gong Hongyu: "Hold the blade, I want to go and greet Brother Shangjiao, let me go first."

"I'll go with you!" Gong Langjiao didn't want to argue with Gong Ziyu anymore, so the two of them turned around and walked out of the Blade Hall.

Yang Mei: "..." Shit! I seem to be left here.

The hall was silent for a while.

Yang Mei pulled the corner of her mouth, stretched out her hand and used a clever force to snatch the bowl from Gong Ziyu's hand: "Since Master Yu doesn't like this bowl of Angelica dahurica Golden Herb Tea, and the bride-to-be who is supposed to drink this bowl of medicine is not so lucky, then I will take it away and give it to the dog. Maybe in a few days, there will be a litter of puppies in the palace."

As if she had already anticipated the appearance of the furry nest of cute creatures, Yang Mei chuckled: "As for what to do with the bride who didn't drink the medicine, you can figure it out on your own. The Queen Mother will not give her another bowl of medicine anyway."

Gong Hongyu, Gong Huanyu, Gong Ziyu: "..."

Yun Weishan, who was far away in the female guest courtyard and didn’t know that he was worse than a dog, said: …I feel inexplicably upset!

……

Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Langjiao met Gong Shangjiao who was riding a horse on the stairs leading to the mountain gate.

Gong Shangjiao dismounted and walked quickly to Gong Yuanzheng. "It's so cold, why are you waiting here?"

"It's because I want to see Brother Shangjiao earlier." Gong Yuanzheng unceremoniously put his hands into Gong Shangjiao's arms and asked him to warm his hands.

"Ahem!" Gong Langjiao coughed artificially, "Can you please respect me a little bit?"

Gong Yuanzheng turned his head and looked around, then asked Gong Shangjiao: "Did anyone speak just now?"

Gong Shangjiao smiled and was happy to cooperate: "No, I didn't hear anything."

"I'm going to make a fuss, I really am going to make a fuss! You all are in couples, and I'm the only single guy!" And a shiny single guy at that!

Gong Shangjiao keenly grasped the key information in his brother's words: "Besides us, who else is a couple?"

"Who else could it be? Ah Ling and that Jin Jue!" Gong Yuanzheng pouted. "I thought they were too close before, but I didn't expect that they had already confirmed their relationship when they came back this time. Ah Ling said that Jin Jue found out about his background outside, so maybe he had some adventures."

"Golden Goblet..." Gong Shangjiao pondered. The last time A Ling returned to the palace, he had a sparring match with this kid. His martial arts skills were on par with his, and he even had a tendency to surpass him.

"Is A Ling in Shang Palace now?" Gong Shangjiao was thinking about going to Shang Palace. Since his mother Madam Ling passed away ten years ago, Madam Wan of Shang Palace had taken good care of his younger brother Gong Langjiao, so every time he came back from outside, he would visit Shang Palace.

Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Langjiao looked at each other after hearing his question. They seemed to realize something extraordinary...

"What's with that look on your face? What happened to A Ling?" Gong Shangjiao asked suspiciously.

"A Ling is fine, but we might be in trouble." Gong Langjiao held his forehead and wailed.

Gong Yuanzheng told Gong Shangjiao what had just happened in the Zhiren Hall.

Gong Shangjiao frowned: "This Gong Ziyu is looking for trouble with you again. Isn't teasing cats and dogs and drinking wine enough for him to have fun?"

"If we can understand the psychology of idiots, then aren't we idiots too?" Gong Yuanzheng didn't want to spoil his mood by talking about Gong Ziyu any more. "Let's go to Shang Palace. A Ling should have gone back."

……

At the same time, the brides-to-be were undergoing a series of assessments and were given three levels of tokens based on the results. Yun Weishan and another bride-to-be received a gold token, while Shangguan Qian received a white jade token.

Yun Weishan felt that it was a sure thing for her to become the young master's wife, because the other girl, Jiang Lili, who got the golden token, was not as pretty as her. Men should prefer pretty girls, right?

But she didn't know that Gong Ziyu had already fallen in love with her, and Gong Huanyu also promised him that he would not choose her to be the young master's wife.

So when Gong Huanyu made her choice, Yun Weishan realized that her mission was going to fail, and her next goal was to stay alive.

Yang Mei and others were also informed of the result of Gong Huanyu's selection of the bride.

Very good, it is becoming more and more like the emperor selecting a concubine, and the result will have to be announced to the six palaces.

The moon was at its zenith, and Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng were planning to have some in-depth communication to ease the pain of missing each other that they had been experiencing recently.

But there's an idiot who shows up to spoil the fun - Zhi Ren sends someone to find Gong Shangjiao and ask him to come over right now.

Gong Shangjiao: "..." He had no choice but to get up and get out of bed, and did not forget to tuck in the quilt for his little lover in bed, "You go to sleep first, I'll be back in a while."

"Go ahead and come back early." Gong Yuanzheng did not agree to let him go to bed first.

Gong Shangjiao shook his head helplessly: "Be careful not to catch a cold. If you get up, remember to put on some clothes."

Gong Yuanzheng agreed obediently this time.

On the other side, Yang Mei was also invited by Gong Hongyu. He and Gong Shangjiao met at the door of Gong Hongyu's study.

Compared to Gong Shangjiao's calm and composed face, Yang Mei could be said to be full of coldness.

He really, really hates being disturbed while he sleeps! What important matter requires him to come here in person?!

Gong Shangjiao looked at Yang Mei with a gloomy face and her hands tucked tightly into her pockets, so he stepped forward and opened the door on his own initiative.

Among his three younger brothers, except for his biological brother Gong Langjiao who is a rough man with a baby face, the other two are all very spoiled, but he is willing to spoil them.

After entering the room, Gong Hongyu asked them to sit down and said he would make a pot of tea for them.

"It's late at night. If I drink more tea, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well." Gong Shangjiao politely refused.

Gong Hongyu seemed not to understand: "It just so happens that I had a bad sleep a few days ago, so I asked Yuanzheng to prepare a medicinal tea that helps with sleep. You can try it too."

Gong Shangjiao looked at Yang Mei and asked, "What do you think?"

Yang Mei looked at the place where Gong Hongyu asked them to sit with disdain. It was a tatami with a small low table in the middle with some tea cups on it, and a stove for boiling tea was placed on the side of the tatami.

The place to sit is so small and it's so close to Gong Hongyu. Yang Meixin said, "If I sit opposite you, I can knock your head off with just one hand, without even stretching my arm."

"I'm not in good health. Yuanzheng often tells me not to eat anything casually. I'm afraid I'll let Zhiren down. Yuanzheng specially developed a sleeping tea for me. I've already drunk it. If Zhiren hadn't suddenly sent someone to invite me, I would have fallen asleep by now." Yang Mei almost said that he didn't want to come at all. "Also, I accidentally hit my leg today, so I can't kneel down. It should be okay for me to sit on a chair, Zhiren?"

Hey, I just can't drink a bit, and I can't sit down a bit. If you have any questions, I will pretend not to hear you. Anyway, I have found a chair to sit down.

Gong Hongyu only felt a fishy and salty taste rising from his throat into his mouth, and then he swallowed it back.

Perhaps Gong Shangjiao felt that Gong Hongyu was too pitiful, so he sat on the tatami.

"The medicinal tea prepared by my brother Yuanzheng is naturally excellent. He also tailored a recipe for me, so I won't drink Zhiren's tea. But I am also proficient in the art of making tea." Gong Shangjiao took the clip used to hold tea leaves from Gong Hongyu and said, "Zhiren asked A Ling and me to come here. He must have something important to discuss."

"The Hunyuan Zheng family and Fenghuang Villa have been reluctant to bow to Wufeng. They want to seek protection from the palace, but..." Gong Hongyu stopped talking and looked embarrassed.

Gong Shangjiao and Yang Mei exchanged a glance, then turned their gaze to Gong Hongyu: "I understand Zhi Ren's dilemma. Since the incident at the palace gate ten years ago, the palace gate has been keeping to itself and keeping a low profile. It really can't help the two families' requests for help. Zheng Zhongyi, the head of the Zheng family, has a little friendship with my father. This time, my father and I explained the reason to him. However, in order to preserve some blood for the Zheng family, the Zheng family sent their daughter Zheng Nanyi to participate in this year's marriage selection. At this moment, people should be staying at the palace gate."

Gong Hongyu nodded repeatedly: "That's fine, thank you for your hard work."

Yang Mei raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's ok that Brother Shangjiao didn't know about it when he just returned to the palace, but Zhiren is totally unaware of it?"

"Ling Shang, what do you mean?"

"The bladeless assassin who held Gong Ziyu hostage the day before yesterday was named Zheng Nanyi. I thought Zhiren would have seen many such double-faced sects, but it's only been ten years. Has Zhiren forgotten about Pili Hall?"

People said he wanted to join the palace, and you really believed it. Did you become a swordsman by being naive? !
