The Cloud Feather of the Red Chamber: A Marriage Arranged with Gong Yuanzheng at the Start

Gong Yuanzheng sheathed his sword and caught Qingyu as she lunged at him.

Although Qingyu is still as thin as before after resting at the palace gate, her complexion is much better than when she first arrived.

This is all thanks to Gong Yuanzheng; he put in a lot of effort to remove the poison from Qingyu.

Qingyu also knew that the older brother in front of her had specially prepared various non-bitter Chinese medicines for her.

"Brother Yuanzheng, you're back so early. Have you passed the trial?"

Gong Yuanzheng nodded with a smile, hugged Qingyu in his arms, and walked towards Lin Qingyue while answering Qingyu's questions.

"Yes, I've passed the trial, so I don't need to go to the back mountain anymore."

"Great!" Qingyu exclaimed. "Can I go to the clinic with you tomorrow afternoon?"

Although Gong Zishang is currently teaching Daiyu, her time is limited.

The most urgent and important task is to develop more powerful weapons to eliminate Wufeng.

Therefore, he only had half a day each day to teach Daiyu how to draw blueprints and disassemble weapons.

The rest of the time she was discussing the creation of new weapons with Hua Gongzi, while Daiyu watched from the side. How much she learned depended on her own understanding.

Qingyu didn't like staying by the stove, so in the afternoon she would either follow Lin Qingyue or go to find Gong Shangjiao.

Gong Shangjiao was busy and didn't have much time to take care of the child. Most of the time, Qingyu spent time with Lin Qingyue.

Qingyu, who had never left the Lin family mansion, might be able to settle down and practice calligraphy and read books with Lin Qingyue.

Upon arriving at the palace gates and encountering so many fun things, Qingyu's heart began to wander.

He used to have Xiaoxue playing with him every day, but now Xiaoxue has stopped coming to see him, and Yuanzheng only has time to spend with him at night.

Qingyu experienced loneliness at a very young age.

The question he asks most every day is, "When will Brother Yuanzheng come back?" and "When will Brother Xiaoxue come down to play with him?"

Gong Yuanzheng replied with a smile, "Okay, I'll take you to the clinic tomorrow, but it won't be for fun. How about your brother Yuanzheng teaches you to identify medicinal herbs?"

Qingyu's eyes lit up, "Great! Great!"

Lin Qingyue only just realized that her younger brother particularly hated the heat and sweating, which was why he was unwilling to stay in the Shang Palace while Gong Zishang was forging weapons.

After a while, Qingyu asked again, "Brother Yuanzheng, when will Brother Xiaoxue come down?"

Gong Yuanzheng's smile remained unchanged. "There is another older brother who is also undergoing the trial. Once he passes the trial, Brother Xiaoxue will be able to descend the snow mountain."

Qingyu was somewhat disappointed. When would that unknown brother finally pass the trial?

Brother Yuanzheng has already passed all three levels, so how come that other brother hasn't even passed the first level yet?

At this moment, Gong Ziyu, pale-faced, was warming himself by the fire on the snowy mountain.

Jin Fan stood behind him, slowly channeling his inner energy into Gong Ziyu's body.

Young Master Xue rested his chin on his hands, his eyes fixed on the doctor who was taking Gong Ziyu's pulse.

The doctor beside him was not bothered by his gaze at all. He squinted and calmly took the pulse. After a long while, he let go of the pulse.

"Young Master Yu, you must not continue the trial. If you force yourself to go into the water, it may shorten your lifespan."

Before Gong Ziyu could react, Jin Fan's expression changed, and he looked at Gong Ziyu with worry in his eyes.

"Young Master Yu, let's go down the mountain first. We'll come back up once you've recovered."

Gong Ziyu pursed his lips, his face looking rather unpleasant. Gong Yuanzheng had already passed the trial, while he hadn't even passed the first stage, which was truly embarrassing.

Jin Fan, who had always been by Gong Ziyu's side, naturally knew where his weakness lay, and immediately said:

“Young Master Yu, if you are injured, Miss Yun will also be sad.”

"You haven't visited Miss Yun for quite some time now, and you don't know how she is doing."

Gong Ziyu's expression finally changed. He hadn't seen Yun Weishan since he started the trial.

Although he sent things to Yun Weishan every day, the things sent by his servants were definitely different from the things he sent personally.

Thinking this, Gong Ziyu put the cloak that was originally draped over her shoulders back on.

Jin Fan's face lit up with joy, knowing that Gong Ziyu had come to a realization.

After getting dressed, Gong Ziyu bowed to Young Master Xue.

"Thank you for your help these past few days."

Young Master Xue smiled and waved his hand, "It's alright, just rest for a few days and get better before coming back up."

Gong Ziyu smiled gratefully at Young Master Xue, and then led Jin Fan down the mountain.

After he left, Young Master Xue could no longer hide his joy and immediately ran to where Xue Chongzi was practicing.

"Heavy snow! Young Master Yu has gone back to recuperate and hasn't come up for several days. I'm going to visit my younger siblings!"

Without turning her head, Yukishigeko said, "Come back for dinner!"

Having received approval, Young Master Xue had already disappeared.

To avoid running into Gong Ziyu and the others on the way down the mountain, Young Master Xue took the shortcut and carried two baskets of snow with him before he left.

Using his light-footed skills, he quickly arrived at the Corner Palace and saw Gong Yuanzheng holding Qingyu in front of a herb.

"Qingyu!"

"Brother Xiaoxue!"

Upon seeing her beloved brother Xiaoxue, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, Qingyu immediately tried to jump down from Gong Yuanzheng's arms.

Gong Yuanzheng readily agreed and placed the jade on the ground.

Qingyu immediately skipped and hopped towards Young Master Xue.

"Qingyu, I brought you lots of snow! We can build a snowman now! Where's your second sister? Tell her to come out and play with us!"

The fact that his younger brother, whom he had always thought about, still remembered him made Xue Gongzi extremely happy.

"Where is my sister working as a blacksmith at the Shang Palace?"

"Wh-what?" Young Master Xue's expression froze for a moment.

Qingyu took his hand and skipped and hopped towards the Shang Palace.

"Come on, let's go find Second Sister together!"

Gong Yuanzheng watched the two leave without stopping them. As for why Young Master Xue had come down the mountain at this time, he didn't care.

He didn't care whether Gong Ziyu passed the Snow Palace's trial or not.

He has no interest in dealing with irrelevant people right now.

Upon returning to the side hall, they saw Lin Qingyue holding a letter from home with an inscrutable expression.

Gong Yuanzheng sat down beside her and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Lin Qingyue handed him the letter.

Gong Yuanzheng read it quickly, raising his long eyebrows slightly. He was surprised that Lin Ruhai and his wife did not object at all to Daiyu becoming Gong Zishang's apprentice.

They even sent a special apprenticeship gift, which Lin Qingyue was to pass on to Gong Zishang.

They also strongly supported Daiyu learning medicine and martial arts from Gong Yuanzheng.

Of course, Gong Yuanzheng and his group did not offer any formal apprenticeship gifts...

The letter also mentioned something very interesting: Lin Qingyue's cousin, the eldest daughter of the second master of the Jia family, was actually taken into the harem by the old emperor.

Grandmother Jia took the opportunity to bring up the idea of ​​strengthening family ties again, but Jia Min once again refused without hesitation.
