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

After all the long journey, even though they had slept for a long time in the afternoon, Daiyu and Qingyu fell asleep quickly after dinner.

Lin Qingyue, with her long hair loose and wearing a cloak, went out into the outer room.

Gong Yuanzheng was looking at the gift list in his hand. These were the gifts that the Lin family had sent to the various palaces. Qiulan had already sorted them all out and would deliver them to the palaces as soon as it was light.

Upon seeing her approach, Gong Yuanzheng immediately got off the soft couch. "Why are you only wearing a cloak? What if you catch a cold?"

As he spoke, a surge of internal energy was directly channeled into Lin Qingyue's body.

Lin Qingyue tilted her head slightly and looked at him with a smile, "Will you let me get cold?"

This expression softened Gong Yuanzheng's heart, and his expression became even gentler.

Of course not, he couldn't bear to let Yue'er suffer even a little bit.

Gong Yuanzheng led Lin Qingyue to the soft couch and handed her the gift list that he had just thrown down.

"These are gifts prepared by my mother-in-law. I'll take the medical book with me later. As for the other gifts from the palace, Qiulan can arrange for someone to deliver them tomorrow."

The palace clinic has a collection of almost all the medical books in the world.

The Lin family is a distinguished family with a large collection of rare and ordinary books. The books that have been sent to the palace are ones that Gong Yuanzheng does not own.

Qiulan was also clever and sensible, so she directly gave these medical books to Gong Yuanzheng.

He is now eager to return to the clinic and have a thorough examination.

only......

He tightened his grip on Lin Qingyue's arm and rested his head on her shoulder.

Yue'er's younger siblings have all come, so she'll have even less time to spend with me. I'm so reluctant to part with her.

Looking at the gift list, Lin Qingyue recalled the gifts sent by the Lin family this time. She picked up her pen and added a few more items to the list for each palace, based on what Jia Min had prepared.

Especially for Gong Zishang, Lin Qingyue added six extra bolts of red silk brocade. Although they were all red, they were not the same shade of red.

"You gave all six bolts of red silk that your mother-in-law only gave you?"

"Sister Zishang loves red clothes the most. She looks good in red shirts and skirts. Giving her these bolts of fabric is a perfect match."

Gong Yuanzheng suddenly recalled the scene when he first met Lin Qingyue.

In the dim light of the night, she stood beneath the city wall in a red wedding gown.

The palace wedding dress was actually quite ugly, but Lin Qingyue wore it with such grace and charm that she looked stunning.

Despite being on the run for her life, she stood there calmly.

One glance was enough to capture his heart.

Even if she weren't his betrothed, he would still do everything he could to keep her.

"Have someone make several copies of this recipe tomorrow and send one to each of the palaces."

Lin Qingyue's words interrupted Gong Yuanzheng's reminiscence. He casually glanced at the menu sent by the Lin family and remarked casually:

"Well, it's all up to you."

But she made a decision in her heart: she would definitely make more red clothes for Yue'er in the future.

Having finished her business, Lin Qingyue began to send everyone away.

"It's getting late, you should go home."

"Don't stay up late tonight. You can read the medical books later."

Gong Yuanzheng clearly didn't want to leave, and he began to play with Lin Qingyue's long hair.

"Yue'er, the Zheng Palace is almost finished. We should be able to move there after the Lantern Festival."

Lin Qingyue immediately became interested, "Then let's move quickly."

The current Zheng Palace can be said to have been designed by her own hands, and every part is exactly to her liking. She can't wait to see the results of her work.

It's called moving, but it's really just people moving. The things in the Zheng Palace won't be lost, and the things in the Jiao Palace will also be left behind.

Everyone knows that Gong Yuanzheng might stay overnight at the Corner Palace at any time.

Gong Yuanzheng remained silent, a rare occurrence, and did not immediately respond to Lin Qingyue's words.

Lin Qingyue looked at him with some confusion. Gong Yuanzheng lowered his eyes, a rare hint of difficulty on his face. "Yue'er, can we not move for now?"

He had promised Yue'er that he would take her back once Zheng Gong had recovered, but now that he had gone back on his word, Gong Yuanzheng felt somewhat embarrassed.

"I'm afraid my brother will be going on another long trip soon, and I want to spend more time with him."

"Besides, I think he really likes Qingyu and Yu'er. We'll all be living here, and that will make my brother happier."

"So that's how it is," Lin Qingyue suddenly realized. Having stayed at the palace gates for so long, she had come to understand the two brothers, Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao.

One is obsessed with his brother, and the other is obsessed with his younger brother.

Lin Qingyue smiled and said, "Then from now on, when my brother is at the palace gate, we will live in the corner palace."

"However, since the Zheng Palace has been renovated, I will take Yu'er and Qingyu for a stroll tomorrow."

Gong Yuanzheng's unease vanished instantly. "The magnolias are in bloom these days, so you can have some tea and enjoy the flowers."

The two chatted for a while longer, but Lin Qingyue seemed to be getting sleepy, so Gong Yuanzheng stopped talking this time.

After carrying Lin Qingyue to the bed, Gong Yuanzheng sat by the bedside for a long time before picking up a medical book and preparing to go to the clinic.

Passing by the study, seeing that the light was still on, Gong Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment before turning around and entering the study.

Gong Shangjiao had been waiting for him, and upon seeing him, he put down the documents in his hand.

"Expedition".

Gong Yuanzheng sat down by the ink pond, his usual spot.

"Brother, I want to participate in the Three Realms Trial as soon as possible."

Gong Shangjiao frowned slightly. "You're still a minor, there's no rush."

Originally, he was thinking that once Gong Yuanzheng passed the Three Domains Trial, he would take him along to besiege Wufeng.

Now, based on the information provided by Wan Qi'ai, he has a way to deal with Wu Feng.

Once Xue Chongzi has mastered the Wind Palace Manual, the two of them, along with Gong Yuanzheng's poison, will be enough to deal with Wu Feng. Gong Yuanzheng won't need to lift a finger.

Gong Yuanzheng shook his head and remained silent.

Gong Shangjiao immediately guessed, "Is it because of Miss Lin?"

Gong Yuanzheng lowered his head. "Brother, I want to wipe out Wufeng as soon as possible. I want Yue'er to live the life she likes."

"Miss Lin, what kind of life does she like?"

"She loves mountains, lakes, snow-capped mountains, and deserts. She wants to travel the world and see the sunset over the long river."

"Brother, I want to take Yue'er to all the places she wants to go."

“Brother, I originally thought that if I brought all of Yue’er’s favorite things to the palace gate, she would be very happy and would be willing to stay with me forever.”

"I only realized today that no matter how well the palace gates are repaired, to Yue'er, it is nothing more than an exquisite cage."

"Her happiness and joy were fleeting."

"She will only be truly happy if she goes to places she likes and does things she enjoys."

Only then would she be willing to stay with him, and only then would she be willing to like him.

He wanted to treat her well, so well that no one else could do that.

Gong Shangjiao remained silent, unsure of what to say.

He didn't say a word until Gong Yuanzheng left the Horn Palace.

His younger brother has truly grown up and learned how to love others. He felt both gratified and somewhat lost.

However, he was certain of one thing: relationships were indeed troublesome, requiring so much time and energy; he'd better stay away from them.

With the palace gates so busy, he doesn't have the time for that.

Perhaps we should discuss with Lord Lin about holding a wedding for Yuanzheng's younger brother and Miss Lin as soon as possible. He's eager to see Yuanzheng's younger brother's child.
