How could Yu Wangfei not know this? However, although they were husband and wife in reality, they were not husband and wife in name.

It would be inappropriate to just give him the purse as a gift.

"Then I wish Your Majesty a smooth journey." Yu Wangfei bowed and just met Chu Yuheng's resentful eyes.

Seeing this look, Yu Wangfei felt a chill on her back and had no choice but to take out the purse from her waist.

"This is my favorite purse. I wish His Majesty peace and prosperity."

Chu Yuheng reached out to take it, and as if afraid that Yu Wangfei would go back on her word, he quickly put the purse in his arms.

Showing a purse takes a lot of time, and he will be leaving tomorrow, so naturally he will not ask Yu Wangfei to show one for him personally. He just wants Yu Wangfei to give him something to comfort his longing for him.

"Fei Fei, be careful during this period and wait for my return in the capital." Chu Yuheng reminded.

Because Yu Wangfei took the initiative to mention the head of the family last time, Gu Baizhou felt that Yu Wangfei still cared about the Gu family and him.

Although Mrs. Gu had always said that Yu Wangfei had not taken out all of her dowry, Gu Baizhou did not know how much Yu Wangfei's dowry was. In addition, the shop assistants all praised Yu Wangfei for her generosity. Gu Baizhou thought that his mother had been targeting Yu Wangfei because she looked down on her.

Yu Wangfei had changed so much in recent days that she was like a completely different person. Gu Baizhou began to think about becoming husband and wife with Yu Wangfei.

I thought that as long as I did what I should do with Yu Wangfei, maybe I could reconcile with her.

So he spent a day picking out a few gifts for Yu Wangfei from the shops in the city. Then he washed and dressed himself, and as it was almost dinner time, he went straight to Fangfei Garden.

Yu Wangfei, who was having a meal, lost her appetite immediately when she saw Gu Baizhou coming with a bunch of gifts.

Gu Baizhou didn't notice the change in Yu Wangfei's expression at all. He walked over to Yu Wangfei and sat down next to her with ease, then began to introduce the gifts he brought.

"Wang Fei, look, this is your favorite style before." Gu Baizhou took out a hairpin, "Before you and I got married, you wore this."

"I was young at that time and didn't know how to appreciate it." Yu Wangfei had a cold face and ate by himself, not wanting to look at the gifts at all.

"I also brought your favorite lotus cake." After saying this, Gu Baizhou put out a plate of cakes.

Yu Wangfei couldn't help feeling nauseous when she smelled the hibiscus cake. Seeing this, Yun Hua immediately took the cake away.

"I forgot that you have something in your belly now, so naturally there are some things you can't touch." Gu Baizhou felt a little guilty, and then took out the third gift.

"This is the dress I asked someone to make for you. It will definitely look good on you."

Yu Wangfei didn't say anything, Yunhua took the initiative to answer: "Sir, the dress you made doesn't seem to be the size of our lady."

Gu Baizhou's smile froze on his face. He looked at the clothes in his hands and then at Yu Wangfei's figure, and found that they were indeed not suitable. Yu Wangfei was actually thinner than he had imagined.

Since when did Yu Wangfei fade out of his sight?

Seeing his embarrassed look, Yu Wangfei was about to ask him to leave, but Gu Baizhou took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks, as if he wanted to have a meal with Yu Wangfei.

The set of bowls and chopsticks was prepared by Yu Wangfei for Yunhua, and he felt at ease using them.

"I haven't eaten yet, so I'll have something to eat with Wang Fei tonight." As he said that, Gu Baizhou started to pick up some dishes.

Yu Wangfei put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth: "I'm done eating."

Seeing this, Gu Baizhou bravely poured himself a few glasses of wine. After taking a few sips, he walked to Yu Wangfei's room first and lay down directly on her bed.

"What are you doing!" Yu Wangfei was a little angry and clenched his hands.

"You and I are husband and wife, so naturally we should consummate our marriage. What's wrong with that? Why not?" Gu Baizhou looked at Yu Wangfei shamelessly.

It seemed to be the effect of alcohol that made him look a little tougher.

"You're dreaming." Yu Wangfei walked to the bed and slapped him directly, "You're awake now!"

Gu Baizhou was a little angry after being slapped suddenly. He stood up and wanted to press Yu Wangfei under him, but Yun Hua grabbed his shoulders.

"Let me go, I'm the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion!" Gu Baizhou was furious. It was bad enough that Yu Wangfei attacked him, but a little maid also wanted to attack him. Did she really think he was easy to bully?

But Yunhua only obeyed the orders of Yu Wangfei and Chu Yuheng, and ignored the others. Yunhua just exerted a little force, picked up Gu Baizhou and threw him out.

"You are brave!"

"Before Madam gives birth to a child, there must be no possibility of blood mixing!" Yunhua folded his arms across his chest and looked down at him condescendingly.

"You..." Gu Baizhou didn't know how to refute. He got up from the ground angrily and left in shame.

Yu Wangfei, who was in the room, looked at Gu Baizhou's embarrassed figure and sneered.

I really don't know how he has the courage to say those words to me. Isn't he afraid that she will accidentally tell the Seventh Prince about this?

One morning.

The emperor took the memorial that Chu Yuheng had urgently submitted over a distance of eight hundred miles and asked his ministers to nominate someone to be responsible for the transportation of supplies.

There have been severe floods in Jiangnan recently. After Chu Yuheng arrived in Jiangnan, he found that the number of refugees was three times more than reported. This resulted in a serious shortage of supplies he brought with him, so he wrote to the emperor, hoping that he could send more people to deliver the supplies.

"Do you have anyone to recommend?"

Lord Gu quickly stepped forward and said, "My son can take on this important task."

In his opinion, as long as Gu Baizhou took on this task and did a good job, he would not only be admired by the emperor and appreciated by him, but also leave a good impression in the hearts of the people.

The most important thing is to get to know Chu Yuheng. You know, the Ninth Prince has always been the largest force in the court.

Although he did not participate in the struggles between the princes, whoever he stood on the side of would represent the side of the military power behind him.

"No." The eldest prince was the first to stop him. "I think that Prince Gu is still young and inexperienced. It would be most appropriate to hand over such a major matter as transporting supplies to the experienced Minister of Revenue, Lord Feng."

"Your Majesty, although I lack experience, please believe that I can handle this matter well." Gu Baizhou stood up and spoke for himself.

How could he not know what Lord Gu meant?

What the Gu family didn't expect was that the eldest prince did not stand on their side.

"I also think it's not possible." The Seventh Prince sat in a wheelchair and coughed slightly. "It's better to leave things like transporting supplies to experienced adults."

After saying this, he pretended to cough again and even pulled his outer robe closer, looking extremely cold.

The emperor was displeased to see him like this. If it weren't for the fact that such an important matter had to be decided at the morning court today, and he wanted to see what the Seventh Prince and the First Prince were planning, he wouldn't have allowed him to come and get in the way.
