At this time, the sun was gradually setting in the west and a breeze was blowing quietly, but it failed to wake up the sleeping beauty.

It was not until a gentle call came from afar that Gu Qianyue moved slightly and slowly opened her sleepy eyes. She seemed reluctant to have her dream interrupted, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Miss, it's time to get up now." Durian called softly.

"What time is it?" Gu Qianyue stretched out on the bed, but was reluctant to get up.

"It's already 3 p.m."

It was 3 p.m. I didn’t expect that I slept so soundly.

Xiaolan was always erratic due to lack of energy, sometimes online and sometimes offline. Gu Qianyue was in a deep sleep and had been unable to wake up. Now only Xiaobai the snake was left and ran away because he felt bored.

Seeing that the young lady had woken up, Durian quickly took out the warm water that had been prepared long ago and helped the young lady wash her face.

Gu Qianyue sat up, and Durian skillfully combed her long black hair, with gentle and delicate movements. Then he picked out clothes for Gu Qianyue to wear today, a light blue Luo skirt, and matched it with some exquisite accessories.

With Durian's help, Gu Qianyue slowly put on her clothes and jewelry.

Afterwards, Liu Yue brought the medicinal food that had been simmered for a long time to the table and served Gu Qianyue, but her eyes were staring at the food in the pot with sparkling eyes. Although she had eaten it before, the taste was still tempting.

Durian noticed that the young lady felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he pushed Liu Yue beside him.

After Gu Qianyue finished her meal, Durian brought over the invitation that the fourth young lady had handed over yesterday.

"Poetry gathering?" Gu Qianyue asked in confusion, then said, "This isn't a trap set for me, is it?"

"I don't think so. Every year in mid-September, which is the White Dew season, a large number of scholars and literati gather together to recite poems." Liu Yueke heard that there are many delicious foods there, such as rice wine, autumn pears, etc.

Gu Qianyue looked at her and knew what she was thinking.

He must have heard that there was delicious food there, otherwise why would he say that?

"The kid is still alive?" Gu Qianyue didn't ask whether to go to the poetry reading or not, but changed the subject.

Liu Yue felt depressed when talking about this matter, and she talked incessantly about what happened at night. Durian, who was beside her, handed her water from time to time.

Gu Qianyue called Xiaolan many times in her consciousness, but it didn't respond and was always silent. It seemed that it had run out of energy.

I have been thinking of a reasonable solution, a way that does not want to have anything to do with Jiang Yubai but can help Xiao Lan. This is also the reason why I have not gone to see Jiang Yubai for a long time, but after going around in circles, I found that it was a dead end.

It seems like I can't get myself out of this muddy water in Shangjing City.

"So, the kid is still alive?" Gu Qianyue didn't want to listen to Liu Yue's nonsense and asked again.

"He's still alive, so I think he will wake up today." Liu Yue relayed Yang Weizhou's words one by one.

"Since he is still alive, it is a blessing for him." Gu Qianyue put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Durian, go get ready. We should also go visit Master Jiang."

Ah? No, why would the master go to see that sickly person?

Although he saved the little ghost, it’s not necessary for the master to visit him in person. Wouldn’t it be enough for me to just send a gift over?

When Gu Qianyue walked to the front hall, she met Gu Min and Gu Yunshen who had just returned from outside. After everyone stood still, Gu Qianyue folded her hands in front of her, with her right hand on top and her left hand on the bottom, her fingers together, her palms facing inward, she slightly bent her knees, leaned forward slightly, and bowed her head.

"Father Zhuangan, elder brother Zhuangan."

This was the first time that Gu Qianyue had performed a formal ceremony since returning to the capital, and it was also the first time that she called her father and elder brother. This frightened Gu Min, who quickly stepped forward to help his precious daughter up and said, "Yue'er, get up. No need to be so polite."

Gu Qianyue nodded slightly and stood up straight.

"Yue'er, where are you going?" Gu Min asked, but before Gu Qianyue could speak, he took out a purse from his arms and poured out some silver.

"Dad, I have some silver here. If it's not enough, tell me again." Gu Min's smile was very simple. He didn't expect that General Gu, who was so majestic outside, was like a fool at home.

"Okay." Gu Qianyue accepted it happily and said thank you.

Gu Yunshen still stood there without saying a word, and after Gu Qianyue left, he just looked at her back.

Gu Min looked at the way they got along and thought that his son must have annoyed Yue'er.

After Gu Qianyue got on the carriage, she handed the silver to Durian and asked her to register it.

Then he added, "When you come back, bring a jar of good wine to father."

Isn’t it said that the relationship between the third sister and the eldest uncle is very bad?

It doesn’t look like it, Gu Qi who was hiding in the corner asked puzzledly.

He heard it. If my third sister's maid hadn't bumped into my fourth sister last night, I wouldn't have been beaten by my fourth sister last night.

So, he waited in the hall for his uncle to come back to report his third sister, but he unexpectedly saw this scene.

He knew that his plan would never succeed. It turned out that everyone around his fourth sister was a liar.

Gu Qi was thinking dejectedly that since his mother became seriously ill, his good days were gone forever...

Before leaving, Gu Yunshen glanced at the corner where Gu Qidai was, and his eyes darkened.

When Gu Qianyue passed by a dim sum shop in a carriage, the tempting aroma made people stop in their tracks.

Liu Yue couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then said with shining eyes: "Master, it smells so good!"

"Go buy two portions of durian." Gu Qianyue said. She didn't expect that there would be such a clever and skillful person in Li Country when supplies were so scarce.

"No! No! Buy three servings of durian." Liu Yue added that it must taste delicious if it smells so good.

"You can pay for the extra money yourself."

Liu Yue agreed very readily. The most important thing in life is of course to eat happily and have fun. In fact, this was what Brother Fang Zheng told her.

But Brother Fang Zheng was not very happy. He had always wanted revenge, but they were too powerful and he had made no progress.

Brother Fang Zheng must be very distressed, and Liu Yue can't help him. Thinking of this, Liu Yue lowered his head in disappointment.

Gu Qianyue looked at the bustling streets and the men and women in simple clothes who were playing and chatting in the crowd, and the hawkers' cries could be heard in her ears.

How I wish the prosperity and tranquility of this moment could be frozen at this moment, and the people would know nothing and live happily forever.

But will their Lord allow it?

Will the surrounding countries, which are eyeing the country covetously, be willing to maintain the current peace?

The answer is of course no, unless the country of Li is strong enough. The current internal and external troubles are obviously not enough.

Internally, there were infightings among the princes and aristocratic families, and externally, of course, the major countries were fighting for territory.

Why do they just guard this dilapidated Li Kingdom?
