Gu Weifeng and his entourage had returned ahead of others. From afar, they looked extremely majestic and radiant. Especially Yi Junshi and Gu Weifeng at the front. They were like celestial beings. One was imposing and handsome, the other was elegant and otherworldly. They were incredibly good - looking.
Yi Zhici quickly stepped forward to take Yi Junshi's cloak and followed him obsequiously, "Father, are you tired? Are you exhausted? Was it dangerous..."
Gu Weifeng frowned as he looked at Yi Zhici.
Yi Junshi raised his eyebrows, "Come on, tell me what you want to ask. Don't use caring about your father as an excuse."
Yi Zhici pretended to be innocent, "What? I'm really concerned about you, Father!"
Yi Junshi calmly watched her act, "Not going to ask? If so, I'll leave."
"Father—" Yi Zhici quickly grabbed Yi Junshi, "Um... that person has been inside for a long time... could there be any danger?" Her little face blushed uncontrollably.
Yi Junshi looked as if he had expected this, "You really forget your father once you have a lover. You used to be Father's sweet little girl. Tsk tsk tsk."
"Father..."
Yi Junshi still pretended to be heart - broken.
Yi Zhici tugged at her father's sleeve, looking apologetic, "Father, you got it wrong. It's 'forget the father once you have a new love'."
Yi Junshi: "..."
"Here, these are chestnuts I peeled," Yi Zhici fetched them from the table, "Don't be angry, Father. Your daughter still likes you very much... No, you're the number one I like!!!"
"Alas, you know Father is easy to bully," Yi Junshi shook his head helplessly, having no way with Yi Zhici, "Don't worry about that lad. If he can't handle such a small situation, I would never let him into our family."
Yi Zhici was puzzled, "Father, the way you've been talking lately makes it seem like I'm the one getting a wife. Do you want your son - in - law to move into our family?"
"Otherwise, you're my only daughter. If he takes you away, who can I cry to?"
Yi Zhici quickly comforted him and sat down to continue peeling nuts for her father.
Just as she sat down, a guard rushed in in a hurry, "Report - a bear has gone berserk in the inner field. It has already scratched two young masters!"
Yi Zhici stood up abruptly.
Gu Weifeng rolled up his cufflinks, "Have the injured been sent for treatment?"
"Yes."
"What a bunch of useless people," Gu Weifeng shook his head. His usually gloomy eyes were actually emitting a faint light, very bright, "Just wait. This bear should be the prize for tonight."
A minister objected, "Your Majesty, if the bear scratches other young men, it won't be good. We should send someone to reinforce them."
"Yes, yes. The lives of the young men are more important."
"Lord Liu is absolutely right."
Gu Weifeng frowned, "Can't you understand what I'm saying?"
Everyone immediately fell silent.
No one dared to say another word.
Yan Sijin stood up, "Your Majesty, I'm a court official and also from a noble family. Why don't I go to the inner field to help? It won't break the rules, and it can solve this urgent problem."
Gu Weifeng clicked his tongue, "Do none of you court officials take my words seriously?"
Although Yi Junshi had a very high status, his status was only due to Gu Weifeng's trust and indulgence. The real power and influence had always been in Gu Weifeng's hands.
Moreover, Gu Weifeng had always had a bad temper. He made decisions on life and death at will, was blood - thirsty and cold - blooded. Among the court officials, they secretly called Gu Weifeng a tyrant, but no one dared to openly refute him.
The tyrant was Gu Weifeng's true face.
He had successfully seized the throne and guarded the country because of his iron - fisted means and his moody and unpredictable personality.
So when Gu Weifeng opened his mouth, Yi Zhici knew something was wrong. She quickly said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Sister Yan naturally follows your orders first. But as a court official, she also wants to win a good prize for Your Majesty. Please don't be angry."
Gu Weifeng nodded, "Fine. For Yuyang's sake, I won't argue with you. I'm hungry. I want to eat Heyi cakes."
The maid quickly responded and went down to prepare them.
Yan Sijin still wanted to speak, but Yi Zhici quickly winked at her. After hesitating for a long time, Yan Sijin stepped back.
Yi Zhici sighed. What could she do? She also wanted to go, but Gu Weifeng must never be offended. She had been extremely afraid of Gu Weifeng since childhood. Even though Yi Junshi was highly favored by the emperor, she still didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Gu Weifeng.
At most, she could ask Yi Junshi to plead with Gu Weifeng, and generally her requests could be granted.
