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

Filled with anger, Gong Zishang walked a long way before stopping and turning around. The figures of Gong Ziyu and the other two were still in the same spot.

Seeing her turn around, Gong Ziyu waved to her. Although his expression was not very clear, you could tell how happy he was from this gesture.

Gong Zishang couldn't help but sigh softly: "Jin Mao, how did Ziyu become like this? Was it because I didn't see through him before, or is this just his true nature?"

Jin Mao remained expressionless. "This subordinate does not know."

Gong Zishang didn't dwell on this issue for too long. She had too many things to do right now and didn't have the time or energy to waste on these trivial matters.

She turned around and slowly walked towards the Corner Palace.

Gong Yuanzheng held Lin Qingyue's hand as they strolled among the herbs, excitedly introducing her to the medicinal plants he had carefully cultivated.

Originally, she planned to give the hidden weapons and poison to her brother and then immediately go to the Snow Palace with Yue'er.

But when he thought about how his brother was about to leave and he didn't know when he would be back, he decided to stay and keep his brother company.

However, for some reason, he and Yue'er had only been sitting in his brother's study for less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea when he was kicked out by his brother...

Gong Yuanzheng was completely baffled; this was something that had never happened before.

If he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it. Gong Yuanzheng would never make things difficult for himself. He then happily strolled around the corner palace with Lin Qingyue.

Today, the Corner Palace is filled with the medicinal herbs he cultivated.

"This is Angelica dahurica, which I just cultivated. Its medicinal effects are better than the original, but it is not yet in mass production. There are only a dozen or so plants."

Before Lin Qingyue could react, Gong Yuanzheng blushed. Angelica dahurica was the key ingredient in Angelica dahurica and Angelica sinensis tea, and no one knew its effects better than him.

Everyone else was drinking ordinary Angelica dahurica and Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea, but Lin Qingyue was drinking tea made with the latest medicinal ingredients.

He couldn't contain his joy whenever he thought about having a child with Yue'er in the future.

He doesn't know if Yue'er likes boys or girls, he likes them both...

Lin Qingyue was completely oblivious to Gong Yuanzheng's change; she squatted down and looked at the angelica flowers in front of her.

These angelica flowers are very different from ordinary angelica flowers.

The emerald green leaves are covered with a light layer of white frost, the flowers are more than twice the size, the petals are as white as jade, and if you smell them closely, you can also smell a faint fragrance.

If Gong Yuanzheng hadn't explained, she wouldn't have recognized it as a angelica flower.

Looking around at the herbs, each one was unique.

Lin Qingyue looked at Gong Yuanzheng and sincerely praised him, "You're really amazing."

Gong Yuanzheng couldn't help but smile, his eyes sparkling with starlight, his smile radiating from every corner of his face.

He couldn't help but hold Lin Qingyue's hand tighter. "I'll take you to see the others."

The two stood up and realized that Gong Zishang had been standing behind them the whole time.

Gong Zishang looked at the two's tightly clasped hands and smiled slightly. "Yuanzheng, you need to improve your vigilance. I've been standing here for so long and you didn't even notice."

Gong Yuanzheng was in a good mood and didn't bother arguing with Gong Zishang. "Brother, this place is safer than anywhere else."

His tone carried a hint of pride. He had already planned it out: he would stay in the Horn Palace for the time being, and then move back to the Zheng Palace with Yue'er once the courtyard was completely tidied up.

Lin Qingyue looked at Gong Zishang, "Sister Zishang, are you here to see Young Master Jiao?"

Gong Zishang nodded. "I've come to see if Shangjiao is missing anything."

Lin Qingyue pulled Gong Yuanzheng aside, saying, "Young Master Jiao is in the study. Sister Zishang, you can go first."

Gong Zishang didn't linger. He smiled and thanked Lin Qingyue, then quickly headed towards the study.

Gong Yuanzheng became somewhat dejected. He lowered his eyes to look at Lin Qingyue, his eyes slightly red, "Why do you still call me Brother Jiao Gongzi?"

Lin Qingyue was taken aback. Seeing that there seemed to be tears welling up in Gong Yuanzheng's eyes, she quickly comforted him, "I just called him that because it was in my head. I will definitely call him brother from now on!"

Gong Yuanzheng seemed to be comforted by her, and a smile returned to his eyes.

"Yue'er, come on, I'll take you to see some other herbs."

Inside the study, Gong Shangjiao listened to Jin Shu's report with a blank expression.

Gong Yuanzheng didn't mention what happened on the road, but Gong Shangjiao couldn't pretend he didn't know.

"Qiulan is right, Yuanzheng's temperament is too good."

Jin Shu lowered his eyes and remained silent, suddenly recalling Zhuo Mei in the dungeon.

These ruthless methods seem to have nothing to do with kindness.

Gong Shangjiao continued, "Since Jin Fan is the Green Jade Guard mentioned by the former Blade Master himself, then he is not qualified to take the Hundred Herbs Extract."

"Gong Ziyu's herbal extract for this month has already been distributed. He wasted it himself, and the pharmacy has no obligation to replenish it for him."

Originally, I thought that Gong Ziyu was innocent and that the pharmacy should supplement him with Baicao Cui, but now it seems that it was completely unnecessary.

As for the reason, is failing to discipline the guards enough?

Jin Shu immediately agreed, "I'll go and notify the pharmacy right away."

Jin Shu showed no sympathy for Jin Fan's punishment.

Previously, they had been in the back mountain and were unaware of Jin Fan's actions.

After arriving at the front of the mountain, they heard others talking about these things and found it unbelievable.

No matter how powerful you are, you are still just a guard, and a "Green Jade" guard at that. You have repeatedly attacked the Palace Master, which shows that you are really ignorant of your own limitations.

He kept addressing the palace masters of the Horn Palace and the Constellation Palace by their full names. Who gave him the courage? The former Blade Master?

When we were in the back mountain, this kid was pretty normal. How come his personality has become so strange since we got to the Feather Palace?

Gong Shangjiao pondered for a moment, his tone softening, "Qiu Lan is a good girl. There are still some trinkets for young girls in the storeroom. Have Jin Fu sort out a box and send it to her."

Gong Zishang, who had just entered the room, happened to hear this sentence and asked in surprise, "What did Qiulan do to earn such a good word from you?"

Gong Shangjiao smiled faintly, "She helped Yuanzheng's younger brother get revenge."

Gong Zishang raised an eyebrow, recalling the three people she had encountered on the way, and guessed the general idea.

She casually found a place to sit down and instructed Jin Mao, "Go to the Shang Palace warehouse later and find some trinkets to send to that little girl. I especially liked the makeup and hair she did for me last time."

Gong Shangjiao frowned slightly when he saw Gong Zishang sitting improperly, and immediately looked away.

"Why aren't you in the Blade Master's Hall at this time? What are you doing here? Is the valley's defenses all set up?"

Gong Zishang's smile immediately vanished, and she looked at Gong Shangjiao with a resentful expression, "Shangjiao, if you don't bring up official business, we can still be good siblings."

Gong Shangjiao smiled, completely unconcerned by her threat.

Gong Zishang poured himself a cup of tea, but instead of drinking it, he acted as if he were drinking alcohol.

"I originally had something to tell you, but I thought about it when I came and decided it's better not to mention it, so as not to offend your ears."

She decided not to tell Gong Shangjiao about the strange man in the back mountain for the time being. He was about to leave the palace, and there was no need to add to his troubles at this time.

The Four Directions Demons are not easy to deal with. If Gong Shangjiao gets distracted by the events in the back mountain and gets injured, then he will truly regret it.

Since it's in the back mountain, let's wait until we have some free time to ask Xue Chongzi. I wonder how much he knows about the supernatural.

With the weapons of the Shang Palace and the poison of the Zheng Palace, dealing with some of the supernatural beings shouldn't be difficult.

As for Gong Ziyu, there's no need to mention it at all. If you want to get married, you should win over Yun Weishan first. Can't you see that the assassin doesn't want to marry you at all?

Gong Shangjiao raised an eyebrow. Seeing that she had no intention of speaking, he didn't ask any more questions and buried himself in dealing with his affairs.

Soon it was time to depart, and the three elders were already waiting at the city gate.

Strangely enough, the trio from the back mountain were also there.

Xue Zhongzi looked at Gong Zishang and Gong Shangjiao, "Xiao Hua said you are leaving the palace today, so Xiao Xue and I have come to see you off."

Gong Zishang looked at Xue Zhongzi, and the two exchanged a glance before quickly looking away.

Gong Zishang understood that Xue Zhongzi must know about the strange person.

Gong Shangjiao nodded, "The back mountain and Ziyi are in your hands now."

Yukishigeko's answer was concise: "Don't worry."

Gong Shangjiao glanced at Gong Yuanzheng and Lin Qingyue one last time, his gaze lingering on them for a few moments before he mounted his horse.

Meanwhile, Young Master Hua was still rambling on beside Elder Hua.

It's either expressing their reluctance to part with her or their envy that their father can go outside with Miyazaki.

Elder Hua was incredibly annoyed. It wasn't like he went out voluntarily; he was forced into it. What was there to envy?

You can't hit your own son in front of outsiders.

Elder Hua closed his eyes and focused his energy, ignoring his son's nagging. He mounted his horse and headed straight outside.

Elder Xue glanced at Gong Zishang one last time, saw that she was expressionless, sighed inwardly, and did not linger any longer.

Elder Yue glanced inside the palace gates, but there was still no one there.

After deciding to go out, he sent someone to inform Yu Gong. Gong Ziyu was not in the palace, but he left a message for the servants. Unexpectedly, Gong Ziyu still did not come.

With a soft sigh, Elder Yue concealed his disappointment and rode away from the palace gate.
