The light of the setting sun gently shone on him, and his black hair reflected a layer of light.
“I can’t win against Father either.” The glutinous rice ball-like girl looked at Chu Yi and then at the former Emperor. She said with sorrow, “1 can’t even win against Brother.”
She patted the former Emperor’s hand comfortingly and stuffed a piece of her favorite preserved fruit into his mouth. “Grandpa, eat the preserved fruit. You won’t be sad after eating the preserved fruit.”
The former Emperor smiled in satisfaction and asked about what the little girl was going to play today.
The little girl happily talked about how they searched for books in the bookstore and how they found this “Tingzhi Diary”. In the end, she said, “Grandpa, Mother promised to use the method written inside to make wine with me. When I’m done, 1’11 treat you to a drink, alright?”
“Alright, alright, alright!” The former Emperor replied repeatedly. He was extremely pampered by his granddaughter and thought to himself that the little girl was really filial. She thought of him first when she had good things.
He openly showed off to Chu Yi.
The grandfather and granddaughter laughed continuously, having endless things to say.
In the end, the little girl was still young. She went out to play again today and didn’t talk for a while before getting tired. She covered her mouth and yawned continuously, her eyes sleepy.
“Yun’er, accompany your sister to the green gauze cabinet to rest. During dinner, Grandpa will wake you up to eat together, alright?” The former Emperor coaxed the two children.
Chu Yun was actually also tired, but he forced himself to hold on. After hearing what his grandfather said, he agreed like a responsible elder brother.
That little adult look made the adults present unable to help but laugh.
After the two children fell asleep, the former Emperor also went to his chambers with the excuse that he was tired.
Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei looked at each other and smiled. They knew very well that the former Emperor just wanted them to be alone.
“Let’s take a walk in the back garden.”
Under Chu Yi’s suggestion, the couple went for a walk in the backyard of Ningshou Palace.
This backyard was specially constructed for the former Emperor. It might not be as extensive as the imperial garden, but it can be considered a small yet complete oasis.
The sun was setting in the west, and a breeze slowly blew. Clusters of beautiful summer flowers bloomed into clusters, and the fragrance of flowers floated. A few dragonflies lit the lotus leaves.
The surroundings were silent. Apart from the two of them, there didn’t seem to be anyone else in the huge garden.
Chu Yi pulled Gu Yanfei to a pavilion. Gu Yanfei sat down, but she wasn’t in a hurry to sit. She took out a pair of silver earrings from her sleeve and personally put it on her earlobe.
The white jade orchid earring carved from goat fat white jade was exactly the same as Gu Yanfei’s white jade silver hairpin. The two were clearly a set.
“Is it beautiful?” Gu Yanfei touched the exquisite earring on her earlobe. Her little face tilted and she looked at him with a smile.
It was unknown if she was talking about people or accessories.
“Yes!” Chu Yi nodded with a smile. He sat down and hugged her in his arms.
Gu Yanfei naturally snuggled against his broad chest and rubbed her cheek on his shoulder like a cat, her gaze as bright as stars.
Even though he was busy with government affairs now, he still made accessories for her from time to time. She liked to wear the accessories he made the most every day.
He was really very good.
Gu Yanfei raised her head, and her cherry lips landed gently on his eyelids, expressing her love with her actions.
Chu Yi quickly turned the tables…
The warm evening wind at dusk was a little cold. It gently blew their hair and intertwined with each other.
After an unknown period of time, his burning lips left hers. He gently kissed the top of her head and said in a low voice, “Yesterday, Yun’er and Zhen’er said that they wanted to personally polish a set of chess pieces and give them to you on their birthday.”
“If you see them polishing chess pieces recently, pretend you don’t know.”
“…” Gu Yanfei was slightly stunned.
Every year, on the birthday of the twins, Chu Yi would not only prepare a birthday gift for the children, but also a gift for her.
Later, the twins saw how heart-pounding it was when their aunt gave birth, so from then on, each year, they would send her a handmade gift on their birthdays, just like Chu Yi did.
Last year, it was a compass, and the year before, they made four clay figurines…
As Gu Yanfei thought about it, her heart softened, as if it was filled with honey.
Before meeting Chu Yi, she had never enjoyed the joy of family.
In this small world, she had never seen Gu Ce and Madam Xie. In the lifetime of the Bright Spirit Realm, she also had no parents..
