Chapter 216 In the Imperial Palace, infatuated men and women

Leng Xuanrong looked at the valuable table on her hand and was frightened, but before she could speak, Dou Yandong winked at her and made a silent gesture.

At this time, Master Li shook the step and came out holding the box. He solemnly handed the box to Gu Zhiyi, and then retreated aside with a smile.

Dou Yandong got up and bowed his hand to Master Li and smiled, "It's all on the account of the Emperor's Mansion."

Master Li nodded as he deserved and sent the three of them out.

After leaving the door, Dou Yandong saw that Leng Xuanrong still looked uneasy, so he explained to her with a smile, "This little thing is Uncle Dou's gift for you. Xuanrong, you don't have to worry about it." After saying that, he said to Gu Zhiyi, "This little thing in your hand is also a gift for you. You don't have to mind." After saying that, he put his hands on his back and muttered in a low voice, "The silver of the Imperial Palace is not painful to spend... Humph..."

The three of them turned such a corner, and it was already dark when they arrived at the Imperial Palace.

The gate of the Imperial Palace is simple and elegant. Leng Xuanrong stands in front of this door and can deeply feel the difference between this house and other places in the imperial city. Just standing in front of the door, it seems that you can feel the elegance of the books here.

At this time, a subordinate of Yingmen came out of the corner door. When the subordinate saw Dou Yandong, his eyes almost came out of his eyes.

"Five...Five Master..."

It was the first time for Leng Xuanrong to hear the name of Dou Yandong. This Mr. Dou must be ranked fifth in the family, so he is called the fifth master. Dou Yandong snorted and said, "Open the door for the fifth master!"

The subordinate was stunned when he heard the words, then suddenly nodded, and then ran inside as if to inform someone. After waiting for a while, the two red doors creaked and opened, and the magnificent courtyard of the imperial palace appeared in front of Leng Xuanrong.

The door opened, but Dou Yandong did not take a step for a long time. Leng Xuanrong turned her head and saw a sharp light in Dou Yandong's eyes, as if there were any flood and beasts in this courtyard.

"Uncle Dong, let's go in." Gu Zhiyi seemed to know what Dou Yandong was thinking and urged.

Dou Yandong's expression stagnated, and then stepped into the door of the imperial palace.

The return of the fifth master caused an uproar in the emperor's mansion, and the subsequent scene was unprecedented in Leng Xuanrong's life. Hundreds of people from the emperor's mansion almost got the news at this moment. The servants who came to see the fifth master alone had already dazzled Leng Xuanrong.

But almost an hour later, Leng Xuanrong found that not only these servants who came to see the fifth master looked trembling, but also those juniors surnamed Dou looked at Dou Yandong like he was a monster. And Dou Yandong was not as relaxed as they were all the way at this time. He had always been straight and ignored the people who came.

Leng Xuanrong carefully observed everything around her and suddenly found that not only Dou Yandong was different from before, but also Gu Zhiyi was very different from before.

The majestic General Gu has been holding the box in his hand... He is actually nervous!

At this moment, another figure came from a distance. When the man arrived at the door of the hall, he heard a crisp and pleasant call.

"Five uncle! You're back, but the third girl is looking forward to your return day and night!"

Leng Xuanrong turned her head and saw a woman who was slightly older than herself. The woman is wearing a pink shirt, with a cloud bun over her head and a smile like a flower. She claimed to be the third girl, and Leng Xuanrong guessed that she was probably the one who Gu Zhiyi wanted to send Bu Yao. Thinking of this, Leng Xuanrong turned his head and looked at Gu Zhiyi, and sure enough, he saw a flame-like enthusiasm in the eyes of the woman who came in.

"Hahaha... Third girl, you can talk. Come and see who else comes back with the fifth uncle?" Dou Yandong smiled again and waved to the three girls.

This Miss Dou San glanced at Gu Zhiyi with the corners of her eyes, but as if she had not seen him. She smiled and bowed Leng Xuanrong deeply and said, "This must be Leng's sister. I have heard my brother Haowei mention many times that you two met in Nayan County. He praised Xuanrong's sister and knew that you and your fifth uncle went back together. Come on, Brother Haowei must be very happy."

Leng Xuanrong also hurriedly got up and returned the salute, "Miss San is courteous. Xuanrong has a lot of help from Mr. Dou. I really don't appreciate it."

After the two of them said hello, Gu Zhiyi, who was beside them, immediately showed expectation. He is really different from usual. I guess if there are people from Qilin Camp next to him now, he will laugh out loud again.

Miss Dou San seemed to find Gu Zhiyi with difficulty. She walked to him, saluted him, and whispered, "General Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"

Gu Zhiyi was excited, got up and returned the salute with his fists, and said loudly, "Miss San is well... I haven't seen you for a long time."

At this time, a subordinate came in to report that the old man was going to see Dou Yandong. Dou Yandong's face suddenly became gloomy. He asked someone to arrange a place for Leng Xuanrong, and then told her that she could visit the rest of the emperor's mansion later.

After arranging these, Dou Yandong left the hall.

At this time, some servants came to lead the way for Leng Xuanrong. She said goodbye to Gu Zhiyi and Miss Dou San and left with her servants.

In the hall, there are only Miss Dou San and Gu Zhiyi left. The girls brought by Miss Dou San were quite sensible. They quietly retreated and even drove away the servants at the door.

There was no one else in the room, and Gu Zhiyi became more nervous. He clenched the small box and walked to Miss Dou San. He handed the small box to Miss Dou San with some embarrassment and said, "I bought something in the imperial city, but I don't know if you like it or not..."

Miss Dou San looked down at the small wooden box, but she was not in a hurry to answer it. She smiled and asked, "Is this the return gift of pine candy?"

Gu Zhiyi shook his head hurriedly when he heard the words, "That's not a good idea. It's hard to buy the pine nuts candy given to me by Miss San. How can this small step be compared with it?"

"Step by step?" Miss Dou San felt much better when she heard Gu Zhiyi's words, so she took the box. There is a shopkeeper's mark on the exquisite wooden box, and Miss Dou San can't help laughing when she sees the mark. She knew that not everyone could find this store, and Gu Zhiyi probably wouldn't have this idea. I guess it was taken by the fifth uncle. And I just saw the cold girl wearing a jade bracelet from the shop on her wrist, which also solved Miss Dou San's doubts just now.

Opening the exquisite wooden box, Miss Dou San's eyes lit up. What was contained in it was the step shake she had been thinking about for a long time.

Miss Dou San put the wooden box on the table next to her and looked at the shaking carefully. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Gu Zhiyi finally felt at ease when she saw that Miss Dou San seemed to like this thing. He secretly thanked Master Li in the store, but he didn't expect that the old man was really recommending him carefully.

A little stunned, Miss Dou San actually reached out to Gu Zhiyi with her hand.

"Help me put it on." It's completely commanding tone, but Miss Dou San should have said it.

Gu Zhiyi's heart was hot. He took the step shake and carefully inserted it into Miss Dou San's cloud bun.

"Good-looking! What a beautiful!" Gu Zhiyi praised in a flattering voice.

Miss Dou San gave him a blank look, and then she couldn't hide her smile.

No one knows how long she has been looking forward to this day. Since she sent the letter to Gu Zhiyi, Miss Dou San's heart seems to have flown out with the letter. Several times, she saw Gu Zhiyi come back in her dream, but every time she woke up, she was lost. Today, I finally looked forward to him. When Miss Dou San heard the news, she almost cried with joy.

There was an awkward silence in the room, and sweat oozed from Gu Zhiyi's forehead. He finally summoned up his courage and said to Miss Dou San, "Last time I said goodbye... I wandered outside, but I was always thinking about Miss San... I want to read Miss San's letter almost every day..."

Miss Dou San blushed and hurriedly shook her head at Gu Zhiyi to signal him not to say anything more. But Gu Zhiyi couldn't help saying, "I remember every word in Miss San's letter, and I just look forward to seeing you again..."

"General Gu!"

Miss Dou San raised her hand to cover Gu Zhiyi's mouth in a hurry.

When Miss Dou San found something wrong, Gu Zhiyi had already held her slender jade wrist.

The two looked at each other and their eyes flowed, better than all words.

I don't know how long it took before Miss Dou San gently shook off Gu Zhiyi's hand, took a step back, lowered her head and asked, "How many days can General Gu stay in the imperial city?"

Gu Zhiyi frowned when he heard the words and thought for a moment before answering, "The emperor's decree is to give me a two-month vacation from the Kirin camp, and now there are about ten days left."

"Ten days...it's really not short..."

Miss Dou San's words are somewhat bitter.

If Gu Zhiyi could not let go of the Kirin camp, I'm afraid they would have married long ago, but Miss Dou San refused to let Gu Zhiyi leave the Kirin camp reluctantly for her own selfish desires, so the matter between the two of them has been delayed again and again, and there is no agreement until now. Gu Zhiyi's special identity made the unwitting matchmaker outside simply break through the threshold of the imperial palace, but Miss Dou San was only crazy about it. Sometimes in the dead of night, people can only cry secretly when they think of this person.

Gu Zhiyi naturally knew the pain in Miss Dou San's heart. Every time he thought of this infatuated woman, he felt a burst of heartache. However, why am I not infatuated? At this meeting, the long-standing idea in Gu Zhiyi's mind finally became firm. When the court calmed down, he resigned from the position of general of Qilin Camp and came to the imperial palace to propose marriage and marry the third lady back.
