A life of ups and downs is pure joy

Zhuang Ge'er was a little nervous as she sat in the pavilion drinking tea and secretly watched the two brothers who were playing chess in the pavilion in the distance. Fortunately, her future husband arrived in time, otherwise she would not know how to face this inexplicable king.

While playing chess, Gong Heyu's mind was completely on the woman wearing a beaded curtain who was drinking tea alone over there. Her back and voice were exactly the same as Huan'er, whom he had been thinking about, but her appearance was completely different. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Zhuang Ge'er.

"Royal brother, your chess playing today was really terrible. Are you deliberately letting me win?"

Gong Kou Shi followed Gong Heyu's gaze and looked at Zhuang Ge'er. She smiled secretly and threw the chess piece in her hand back into the chess box and said with dissatisfaction.

"No, it's Shi'er's chess skills that have improved."

Gong Heyu came back to his senses and smiled at his sister and said.

Gong Kou Shi stretched out her hand to signal the servants around her to step back, then she lay down on the chessboard, approached Gong Heyu and spoke softly.

"Is the beauty Shi'er found not to your liking? Why is your mind so focused on my future princess today?"

After Gong Kou Shi finished speaking, she looked at Gong Heyu with a wicked smile.

"Shi'er, who is she?"

"She is Zhuang Ge'er, the only daughter of my master Zhuang Nanqi."

"But she..."

Gong Heyu thought of the dazzling flower on the woman's forehead and hesitated to speak.

"Royal brother, Zhuang Ge'er doesn't look at all like the fairy sister's child. But if you like her, Shi'er is willing to bear the pain and give her up."

Gong Kou Shi turned around to look at the woman who was drying the cassia flowers with Wan Dong, then turned back and said to Gong He Yu mischievously, blinking her eyes.

“Nonsense…”

Gong Heyu shook his head, perhaps he was overthinking it, and then continued looking at Gong Kou Shi and said.

"Shi'er, how can you marry a wife with your status?"

"I am the young prince of Dayan, your brother's biological brother. It's not surprising for me to marry. Besides, my father has already given his permission. The 25th of two months will be an auspicious date. If your brother really has no objections, I will let Zhuang Ge'er be the princess."

After saying this, Gong Kou Shi looked at her brother with interest again.

"Since my father has given his approval, then it's up to you."

Gong Heyu nodded and stopped looking at the woman in white. He knew that it was Zhuang Ge'er, not his sister Huan'er. There were so many people with similar voices and figures in this big world, but it was not her after all.

At the family dinner, Zhuang Ge'er saw Dayan's most honorable Queen Wei Lan and the emperor's most beloved Concubine Xian Fang Duoduo.

"Princess, the concubine sitting next to the monarch is the most favored Concubine Xian. She was just a beauty when she first entered the palace, but within a few years she was promoted to the current Concubine Xian."

Wan Dong knelt beside Zhuang Ge'er and whispered softly.

"Although her appearance is not stunning, her eyes are extremely beautiful."

Zhuang Ge'er looked at Fang Duoduo, who was not even as pretty as the queen, and spoke in a low voice.

"The princess has hit the nail on the head. I heard that Concubine Xian is so favored because her eyes resemble the fairies in the king's dreams. So, this is a blessing that cannot be stopped."

"The fairy in the dream?"

Zhuang Ge'er looked at Wan Dong in surprise and couldn't help but burst out laughing, but then she felt it was inappropriate and stopped smiling.

"Yes, I wonder what kind of beauty she is to be able to enter your Majesty's dream."

Wan Dong muttered softly, and looked at the smug Concubine Xian sitting next to the emperor. The girl was born in a family of a fifth-rank civil servant, but now she is favored and has brought honor to her relatives. It is a good story in the Great Yan Kingdom.

Zhuang Ge'er nodded, signaling Wandong to stop gossiping. She lowered her head and ate the fruit in front of her alone, occasionally looking up at the beautiful scene of singing and dancing.

Although Gong Heyu knew that the woman in white was not Lin Qinghuan, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times. However, the flower was so dazzling that it seemed to remind him all the time that this was not her, causing him to unconsciously look away.

"Let Zhulian go, we are all family."

Gong Kou Shi looked at Zhuang Ge'er, who still had a pearl curtain on her face, and said gently.

"That's not proper, Your Majesty."

Zhuang Ge'er asked timidly.

"No problem, you are my princess, so it is appropriate to be inappropriate."

Gong Kou Shi reached out and personally removed the troublesome veil for her, and Zhuang Ge'er's stunning beauty was revealed to everyone.

"Oh, this future princess is so beautiful, no wonder our young prince is so anxious to get married."

Fang Duoduo was exquisite and charming. At the banquet, she saw the king looking at the woman wearing the pearl curtain from time to time. Her appearance was so stunning that she could not help but praise her.

"Sister-in-law Xianfei still has good taste."

Gong Kou Shi smiled and turned her head to look at Zhuang Ge'er who was sitting obediently next to her, then raised her glass and clinked it with Fang Duoduo across the air.

Fang Duoduo picked up the cup with her slender hands and toasted Gong Kou Shi. After all, this little prince was the only brother of the monarch and had a very high status.

Gong Heyu looked at the beautiful face of the woman in white with a lost look. Although the face under the pearl curtain was stunning, it was not the face in his memory that made him happy. His hand unconsciously picked up the wine cup and drank a glass.

"The pink flower on Princess's forehead is really pretty. Is this some new style of makeup?"

Queen Weilan looked at Zhuang Ge'er and asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, this is a birthmark I've had since I was a child."

Zhuang Ge'er quickly stood up and replied.

The familiar voice once again pierced Gong Heyu's ears, and the man couldn't help but look at the woman sitting down who was answering.

"What kind of flower do you think the princess's forehead looks like? I've never seen it before."

Wei Lan continued to ask.

"Phoenix Eye Flower."

Zhuang Ge'er looked up and answered without thinking.

The cup in Gong Heyu's hand fell down instantly, and the wine spilled all over the table. The palace maid next to him hurriedly knelt down to clean up the table. Wei Lan and Fang Duoduo looked at him curiously.

"Do you know Phoenix Eye Flower?"

Gong Heyu stood up excitedly and asked.

"Your Majesty..."

Wei Lan had never seen Gong Heyu lose his composure like this, and couldn't help but call out to him softly. Fang Duoduo also looked at Gong Heyu strangely, and then looked at Zhuang Ge'er.

"Your Majesty...it's the King...the Prince said that the flower on my forehead resembles a phoenix eye flower...I have never seen one before..."

Zhuang Ge'er looked at the emperor who suddenly became excited, and felt a panic in her heart. She stammered in reply, and then kept glancing at Gong Kou Shi who was standing beside her.

"Royal brother, do you think the flower on Xiaoge's forehead resembles the phoenix-eye flower in Luofeng City, Dasheng?"

Gong Kou Shi reached out and gently pulled the panicked Zhuang Ge'er to sit down, then slowly looked up at Gong Heyu and said.

"Phoenix Eye Flower? Isn't that a flower that Your Majesty mentioned as being extremely beautiful?"

Fang Duoduo said in surprise, and then looked carefully at Zhuang Ge'er's forehead.

"It is indeed very similar to the phoenix-eye flower that you painted. It is truly amazing."

Fang Duoduo couldn't help but sigh when she thought of Gong Heyu's calligraphy and paintings.

Zhuang Ge'er saw that everyone was looking at her, and her face turned red with nervousness. Gong Kou Shi reached out and touched the birthmark on the woman's forehead.

"Of course it is as magical as the sound of nature. Otherwise, how could it please this king? My royal brother, do you think it is or not?"

“It’s really amazing.”

Gong Heyu calmed down and replied. The overturned wine cup in front of him had been replaced with a new one. He picked up the white jade wine cup and looked at his sister and the woman in white beside her. Suspicion and suspicion arose in his heart.

"The old emperor has arrived..."

As the eunuch chief's voice sounded, everyone stood up to welcome the Sixth Prince, who was like the Great Yan God.
