Gu Yanfei looked in Chu Yi’s direction from afar, but she smiled silently. Her eyes curved into a beautiful crescent shape, lively and clever.
When Imperial d.u.c.h.ess Wei saw Gu Yanfei looking at Chu Yi, she felt that these two children were really compatible, and there was a smile on her lips again.
She continued happily, “The Duke said that the Eldest Prince has his own rules and regulations. He even asked me to wait and see.”
Imperial d.u.c.h.ess Wei thought about how much she had to tell Gu Yanfei about the Eldest Prince. She leaned closer to her and continued to whisper to her.
This scene also fell into Gu Yuan’s eyes near the city gate.
Imperial d.u.c.h.ess Wei had obviously returned with her sister. Where had they gone? He found it even stranger.
He had an errand to run, so it was really inconvenient for him to go over. He quickly looked away.
Seeing that his subordinates had almost cleared the path, Gu Yuan turned his horse around and came to Chu Yi’s side. He wanted to invite Chu Yi to go first, but he heard Baili Yin’s frivolous voice.
“… In terms of beauty, my eighth sister can be said to be the number one beauty in the State of Yue. She’s 15 years old and has a beautiful face. She’s peerless. Young Master Yi, you should have seen her before, right?”
“You’re about the same age as me, but you’re only two years younger than me. I already have a concubine’s son and daughter, but you don’t even have a red-sleeved girl. It’s a little lonely tonight.”
“Why don’t I write a letter to the Sage and marry my sister to you? You’ll be my brother-in-law from now on.”
Gu Yuan narrowed his long and narrow eyes. His vigilant gaze paused on Baili Yin for a moment. His first thought was: Could Baili Yin be trying to poach my sister?
The morning light poured down, coating the city gate, the streets, and the surrounding pa.s.sers-by with a brilliant gold outfit.
Under the enthusiastic gazes of the surrounding people, Chu Yi and Baili Yin urged their horses forward.
Baili Yin looked around nonchalantly, his mouth never stopping. “My eighth sister’s looks can be said to be stunning. If she was in the State of Jin, I’m afraid all the beauties on the streets would be ashamed because of their inferiority.” “Speaking of which, I’ve only seen one beauty in all the time I’ve been in your country…”
Halfway through his sentence, Baili Yin stopped abruptly. His gaze landed on Gu Yanfei, who was outside the city. His thin lips curled up, and he changed the topic. “Eh, isn’t this Second Lady Gu?”
Chu Yi had already seen Gu Yanfei outside the city. He nodded at her from afar and smiled slightly.
Gu Yanfei smiled slightly, her face bright.
Beautiful, she’s really beautiful! Baili Yin’s gaze lingered on Gu Yanfei’s beautiful face.
His Eighth Sister was as bright as a fire, as beautiful as a red rose, and devastatingly beautiful. Perhaps only Second Lady Gu’s looks could be compared to his Eighth Sister.
After not seeing her for more than a month, this little beauty seemed to have become even more beautiful. She was really captivating. After seeing her once, she was unforgettable.
Baili Yin clapped and praised as he glanced at Chu Yi from the corner of his eye. A sharp glint flashed across his brown eyes.
In the beginning, when the Emperor of the State of Jin suggested that Chu Yi would be in charge of the negotiations, Baili Yin couldn’t ask for more.
He originally thought that after replacing Chu Yi, this matter would be easier to negotiate. Unexpectedly, Chu Yi was unmoved by force or persuasion. He didn’t show his emotions and was even more difficult to deal with than the kind-hearted Emperor of the State of Yue.
In the past two days, Baili Yin has mentioned the blueprint to Chu Yi a few times. Other than the Yellow Water Ocean, he had also suggested that the surrounding small islands could also be allocated to the State of Jin.
The conditions were raised again and again. Chu Yi looked gentle and easygoing, but he was actually very opinionated… Or rather, he was domineering!
He was just as tough as she was.
If he softened up, he would also smile and talk.
In just two days, it made Baili Yin feel defeated and frustrated. He regretted making a mistake when he was in the State of Yue back then. Why did he feel that Chu Yi was weak and easy to bully!
Today, it wasn’t easy for Baili Yin to persuade Chu Yi to bring him to test the gun.
It seemed that he was quite lucky to have met this little beauty. It was really a good omen!
Seeing that Chu Yi hadn’t said a word, Baili Yin didn’t look embarra.s.sed at all. Instead, his smile deepened.
He raised his eyebrows and casually swung the whip in his hand. He said, “Young Master Yi, it’s better to meet by chance. Since we’re so fated with Second Lady Gu, why don’t we call her along to test the gun?”
There was a cynical smile on Baili Yin’s lips. His deep gaze quickly swept across the flintlock beside Xiao Shi’s waist, and the scene of Chu Yi killing a white tiger with one shot appeared in his mind..
