Chapter 36 - Playing All

The sky had just turned white, and there were shadows of people walking around in Xiao Sheng Yuan.

Gu San quietly appeared outside the room and lightly knocked on the door. He unnaturally coughed a few times before reminding his, ”Master, it's time for the court to begin.”

Inside the room, the candles had all been extinguished and the dim room was completely silent.

Gu Yicheng opened his eyes.

Gu Yicheng sat up, he tilted his head and looked at the lady who was sleeping peacefully inside the bed. She was lying down on the bed with her bedding wrapped around her, her breathing shallow, the fragrance of her body lingering at his nose the whole night.

”Master, the time …” The voice of the Gu San once again sounded outside the door.

”He's up.” Gu Yicheng replied snappily. He lifted the blanket and got off the bed, and then unwittingly placed it on Yun Qianliang's body.

”You want to suffocate me?” Yun Qianliang cursed as he pulled out an arm from the blanket and removed the blanket that covered his head. Then, he stared at Gu Yicheng's back.

After a while, Yun Qianliang leisurely withdrew her gaze. Yan Chun yawned and unwillingly got up.

Gu Yicheng went to the neighboring bed to change the official uniform, while Chun Hua and Qiu Yue served her as he stood up.

Usually in Gu Xiangfu, no one would see her, but when Gu Yicheng went to court, she was still sleeping on the bed and did not stand up to send him off, but when they were in Yun Xiang Mansion, they had to show off their love and kindness to their husband, dressing up for him and sending him out.

When Yun Qianliang sent Gu Yicheng to the Yun Palace entrance, a carriage was already prepared outside the door, but Yun Qinan had not yet arrived.

This was also why Gu Yicheng decided to wait for his father-in-law to come out while he had enough time.

When his son-in-law returned, the both of them would go to the imperial court together. Otherwise, in the eyes of outsiders, they would think that the two families were at odds.

Yun Qianliang had a smile on her face, and pretended to be virtuous and dignified looking, but she secretly despised Gu Yicheng's actions in his heart. She did not put the marriage in his heart, and still pretended to be filial and filial as she waited for her father-in-law in the cold wind.

The two of them waited for around the time it took to make a cup of tea before Yun Qinan came out fully dressed in the company of the Qin family.

”Father.” Yun Qianliang bowed in greeting.

”Master, it's really different if you look at her. She always loves to stay warm in bed when it's cold. She refuses to get up no matter what. Now she even knows that she has to wait for her husband.” Qin family laughed while holding the handkerchief, and teased the young couple, her smile showing her gentleness and happiness.

”How can we be at home when we're married?” Yun Qinan replied straightforwardly, she only glanced at Yun Qianliang slightly, and called for Gu Yicheng to head to the imperial court, ”It's getting late, don't miss the timing.”

”Father-in-law, please.” Gu Yicheng respectfully took half a step back and allowed Yun Qinan to take the first step.

The left and right sides were equal in position, but in the end, the position of the Minister of the Left was still slightly higher, and Gu Yicheng's family had a deep foundation, so they had more power and influence than Yun Qinan, and they treated him like an elder.

Yun Qinan looked at Gu Yicheng with praise, and started to walk towards the carriage.

Gu Yicheng did not mind, the smile on his face was still somewhat unrestrained, but when he turned to look at Yun Qianliang, his unrestrained manner turned into deep love. He placed his palm on her head and gently caressed her neatly combed hair.

”Freezing Sky, don't stay outside for too long. Be careful while you stay in the house to keep warm.” With that, he untied the cloak around his body and wrapped her up like a dumpling. ”Bind her into a dumpling, and it will not affect our shallow beauty.”

”Naughty again.” Yun Qianliang bashfully struck him lightly on her chest, her lips were pursed into a shy smile, as the corners of her lips lifted happily. She looked at him with eyes full of unconcealable joy, and gently warned him, ”Be careful on the road.”

Gu Yicheng supported the back of her head and kissed her forehead, ”I'm up.”

Watching the carriage leave, Yun Qianliang and Qin family returned.

Just as he entered the door, the Qin family beside him could not help but start talking.

”At first, when you caused yourself to commit suicide, you were still worried that you would be worried about the Jin Wang and not want to get married. The day of the wedding, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get it off my mind, so I sent a wedding lady to watch over you. He was wiping away the tears in his eyes as they fell, ”Qian Qian Qian, I know how you feel about Jin Wang, but don't be too wronged in Gu Xiangfu. It's fine if you can't do it, but we direct daughter don't need to please Gu Xiang and live the life.”

Yun Qianliang's eyes turned slightly, looking at the woman beside him who was comforting her with sorrow, she sneered in her heart.

Using Jin Wang to provoke Yun Qianliang was indeed the right decision.

Unfortunately, the time was no longer on her side.
