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

Shangguan Qian's mind was in turmoil. She had thought that the Lonely Mountain Sect was long gone, but she never expected that there would be someone else alive besides herself.

Gong Huanyu told her a lot about the Lonely Mountain Sect, but she only had a vague impression of it.

Although Gong Huanyu felt a little regretful, she still gently comforted her.

"It's alright, A-Qian. With Yuanzheng's brother here, he will definitely be able to cure your amnesia."

Let Gong Yuanzheng treat her illness?

Shangguan Qian's expression was somewhat strange. What did she do to deserve that the Palace Master of Zheng Palace would treat her illness?

Even with Gong Huanyu as her guarantor, Shangguan Qian was prepared to be harassed by Gong Yuanzheng.

Unexpectedly, Gong Yuanzheng did not show any resistance to treating her illness.

After carefully taking her pulse, Gong Yuanzheng wrote down a prescription and handed it to Shangguan Qian.

"This is the prescription. Take it to the pharmacy, and they will prepare the medicine for you."

"Your amnesia is mainly due to the medication. As long as you take your medicine on time, you will recover quickly."

Upon hearing that the amnesia was due to the effects of medication, both Shangguan Qian and Gong Huanyu's expressions turned grim.

Fortunately, the two have now recognized each other, and with Gong Yuanzheng around, it's only a matter of time before they regain all their memories.

"Thank you so much, Yuanzheng brother." Gong Huanyu thanked Gong Yuanzheng with utmost sincerity.

Gong Yuanzheng felt a little uncomfortable and replied somewhat awkwardly.

"There's nothing to thank me for; it's all for the sake of destroying Wufeng."

His appearance greatly surprised Shangguan Qian; Gong Yuanzheng now was completely different from the one he had been the night before.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the palace. Shangguan Qian looked up and saw a beautiful young woman dressed in fiery red enter the Zheng Palace in a hurry.

Upon seeing Shangguan Qian, she laughed heartily, "This must be Sister Shangguan, right? You are indeed a beautiful and refined woman."

"I am Gong Zishang, you can call me Sister Zishang directly."

Shangguan Qianqian smiled sweetly, "Hello, Sister Zishang."

Gong Yuanzheng couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Why aren't you staying in your Blade-Holding Hall? What are you doing in my Zheng Palace?"

Gong Zishang had long been used to Gong Yuanzheng's awkward personality.

In this palace, besides Gong Shangjiao, who can get a good face from him?

Okay, from now on, Lin Qingyue will be pampered by him.

Gong Zishang didn't care about his attitude. She suppressed her smile, became serious, and looked directly at Gong Huanyu.

"Big brother, Yuanzheng brother, I've come to you mainly about the Wan Hua Lou matter. When are we going to capture Ziyi?"

Gong Huanyu remained calm and took out a scroll of portraits from his sleeve, handing it to Gong Zishang.

"Ordinary carrier pigeons cannot leave Old Dust Valley. The news that the bride successfully entered the palace gate could only be reported by crows leaving the valley."

"This is a portrait of Han Yaqi drawn by A Qian. As soon as Han Yaqi leaves the valley, we will immediately capture Zi Yi and seal off the Old Dust Valley."

Gong Zishang solemnly accepted the portrait. "Okay, I'll make the arrangements."

Gong Huanyu then looked at Gong Yuanzheng and said, "This time, Han Ya will bring back the antidote for the Half-Moon Fly, but it only has a temporary suppressive effect."

"To completely rid ourselves of the Half-Moon Fly, we still need to send our younger brother on a long expedition to help us."

Gong Yuanzheng smiled confidently and arrogantly, "Don't worry, I will definitely develop an antidote."

He could do research in the painting, and he can do it now!

Just then, Jin Huai jogged into the hall.

"Young Master Zheng! Draw your blade! Summon Young Master Yu! The scroll is being opened!"

Before Jin Huai could finish speaking, Gong Yuanzheng had already disappeared from the hall in a single stride.

Gong Huanyu looked at Shangguan Qian, "Qian, why don't you come with us to see the painting?"

Gong Huanyu had already mentioned the scroll to her yesterday; she was also very curious about this kind of divine object that could predict the future.

However, Shangguan Qian hesitated as she looked at Gong Zishang. This concerned the future of the Gong family. She was an unparalleled figurehead; was Gong Zishang really not concerned?

Gong Zishang smiled brightly and stepped forward to take Shangguan Qian's arm.

“Sister Shangguan, come with us and see. Maybe we can find out how you will rebuild the Lonely Mountain Sect in the future.”

Hearing this, Shangguan Qian was also somewhat tempted. The image of herself in the painting had actually rebuilt the Lonely Mountain Sect, something she never dared to even dream of.

I really want to see what I look like in the painting.

Gong Zishang and Gong Huanyu arrived outside the hall.

Shangguan Qian saw that Gong Yuanzheng had already taken the best spot, gazing eagerly at the painting in the sky.

Under the night sky, the scroll has been unfurled.

This is a beautiful landscape painting, and a delicate villa is nestled amidst this stunning scenery.

Gong Zishang held Daiyu's hand, Xue Gongzi carried Qingyu, and Xue Zhongzi stood beside them.

The five people stood together, deeply moved by the beautiful scenery before them.

"Shang Jiao is really amazing. He managed to find such a good place in Yangzhou in such a short time!"

Although this place is not as large as the palace gate, its beautiful scenery is just as stunning.

"Brother Shangjiao is really amazing. I've lived in Yangzhou for so long, and this is the first time I've ever heard of this place."

Thinking that I'll be seven next year, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for me to go out.

Moreover, now that his father has been transferred back to the capital, he fears he will be stationed there permanently and will not be able to see his elder sister easily anymore, which makes him feel somewhat down.

"Master, I want to live at the palace gate forever..."

Gong Zishang also thought of his apprentice's identity and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.

"Yu'er, you are my apprentice, Gong Zishang, so naturally you should learn the art of forging from me. From now on, I will write to Lord Lin every year to invite you to the palace gate!"

Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she firmly grasped Gong Zishang's hand, "Master, you mustn't forget, you must write a letter as soon as possible!"

"Okay! I won't forget!" Gong Zishang replied with a smile, but she didn't have much confidence in her heart.

They're from a truly prestigious family. How is she going to persuade Lord Lin? My head hurts. Oh well, I'll just talk to Shang Jiao about it later.

Gong Zishang, who was outside the painting, was completely puzzled. This little girl was Qingyue's sister, and her status was naturally extremely noble. How could such a beautiful girl have become her disciple?

Gong Huanyu couldn't help but chuckle, "It seems that many incredible things have really happened in the future."

He looked at Gong Zishang with a smile and said, "I congratulate Zhi Ren on gaining such a fine disciple."

Based on his understanding of Gong Zishang, unless this young girl had exceptional talent, she wouldn't accept a disciple of such a background.

Gong Zishang had obviously thought of this as well, and was even more looking forward to Lin Qingyue's arrival.

I wonder if this little girl entered the palace with Qingyue.

Gong Yuanzheng stood beneath the carriage, looking tenderly at the girl who had just emerged from it.

The girl was stunningly beautiful, and every move she made exuded charm. Shangguan Qian suddenly remembered Gong Yuanzheng's evaluation of her bow: ugly.

Her lips twitched; compared to this girl, she did seem a bit ugly.

Just as the girl was about to get off the carriage, Gong Yuanzheng picked her up and gently placed her on the ground.

The moment they landed, their eyes met, and though no words were spoken, their feelings for each other flowed freely.

A rapid sound of hooves approached, and looking in the direction of the sound, a tall, elegant young man stood on horseback with a stern face.

Shangguan Qian immediately recognized that this was Gong Shangjiao.

Compared to the Miyazaki I remember, he exudes an even greater aura in the painting.

Upon seeing Gong Yuanzheng, Gong Shangjiao's expression instantly melted like an iceberg.

"I'm late for my brother and sister-in-law's expedition."

"Brother!" Gong Yuanzheng quickly took a few steps toward Gong Shangjiao.

Remembering that Lin Qingyue was still standing beside him, he immediately turned around, took Lin Qingyue's hand, slowed down, and walked together towards Gongshangjiao.

After several months apart, Gong Shangjiao appeared even thinner, and the coldness in his eyes was even greater than before.

It's clear that Gong Shangjiao hasn't had an easy time lately, and the affairs of the martial arts world must be extremely troublesome.

Gong Yuanzheng frowned slightly, his eyes showing worry. "Brother, you need to take care of yourself."

Gong Shangjiao gently raised the corners of his mouth, his heart softening as he thought of the letter Gong Yuanzheng had sent some time ago.

His younger brother, who had been away on expeditions, had grown up and could now share his burdens.

Gong Zishang also noticed Gong Shangjiao's arrival and led everyone over.

"Brother Shangjiao!" The little boy was not afraid of Gong Shangjiao's cold face at all and opened his arms to him.

Gong Shangjiao accepted the jade with remarkable ease.

"Brother Shangjiao, Qingyu misses you so much. Do you miss Qingyu too?"

The innocent voice of a child was right next to his ear. Gong Shangjiao raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes and brows full of smiles, "Of course I want to."

Such a skilled demeanor clearly indicated that the child had been cared for for a long time, leaving everyone at the palace gates stunned.

Has anyone ever seen the Horned Prince look like this?

If they hadn't known beforehand that this boy was the future Lady Zheng's younger brother, they would have really thought he was the illegitimate son of Prince Jiao.

It's a pity that Young Master Jiao is not at the palace gates now and cannot see this scene.

Shangguan Qian also felt something was off; this was a completely different person from the Gong Shangjiao she knew.

Rumor has it that Gong Shangjiao is cold and ruthless. The Gong Shangjiao she met a few years ago was also a cold and aloof young man. She never expected that he would have such a kind side.

Gong Zishang urged the artist repeatedly, "Hurry! You must draw this scene! Not a single detail can be missed!"

Shangguan Qian couldn't help but chuckle at her eagerness.

Upon seeing this, Gong Huanyu simply smiled faintly. Gong Shangjiao would certainly preserve these portraits carefully.

Gong Yuanzheng's entire focus was now on the painting, and he had no time to spare for anyone else.

His wife and his brother—it's wonderful that they will both be by his side in the future.

"Madam Lin, you've had a long and tiring journey. Why don't you rest here for a few days? I'll send someone to take you back to the capital by water."

Jia Min did not refuse and rode in the carriage for several months, even though they had a short rest at the palace gate along the way.

But her body was indeed starting to give out, and her voice carried a hint of fatigue as she said, "Thank you for your hard work, Shangjiao."

The group entered the villa together. The villa was elegant and refined, with pavilions, towers, trees and rocks, and a unique Jiangnan style.

As soon as Jia Min entered the villa, she went straight to her room to rest.

Daiyu and Qingyu, however, were in high spirits and just wanted to explore the manor properly.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will stay at this mountain resort for a long time.

When the adults had things to discuss, the responsibility of taking care of the children naturally fell to Young Master Xue.

Jin Cheng stepped forward, smiling as she looked at the three children, one adult and two children.

"Young Master Jiao has set up a weapon-refining room and a pharmacy in the manor. Would Miss Lin and Young Master Lin like to take a look?"

Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she gently tugged at Xue Gongzi's sleeve, "Brother Xue, I want to go to the weapon-refining room first."

Young Master Xue readily agreed.
