Chapter 9 (1/2)

Chapter 9 … This way of thinking had supported Gu Hong Jian for a full twenty years

Not long afterwards, it became the Winter Solstice of Wànshùn Year 31 Lin Si Ze allowed Gu Hong Jian to acco Xi Palace

After Gu Hong Jian heard the state, she asked, ”Me? Why?”

Lin Si Ze replied, ”You are my personal maid”

”Aren't I a miscellaneous palaceJian became aware that she was unexpectedly the fifth prince's personal maid

Lin Si Ze said, ”You are the only one out of the entire Bai Fu Palace ould show their face”

Gu Hong Jian couldn't refute him ”…”

Gu Hong Jian had a bitter expression as she watched Lin Si Ze choose a set of slightly proper clothing and a black cloak She was also fortunate to be given soreen cloak

In fact, it was previously Lin Si Ze's, but it was now a bit save it to her

Even though Lin Si Ze was relatively short in supplies, every year at New Year's, things would still be sent down Even if an unknown aed, this type of first-rate cold resistance cloak was generally not shortchanged much After all, it would be hard to explain if a prince froze to death in the palace

Gu Hong Jian withdrew her hands and feet and followed Lin Si Ze to Ying Xi Palace with tre movements Because Bai Fu Palace was so remote, there was no one on the road When they alradually appeared

It seemed as if they had merely walked two steps, yet they suddenly went fro Gu Hong Jian was accusto in the cold and cheerless corner as a small maid, so she naturally becalance at Lin Si Seeing the tranquil expression on Lin Si Ze's face involuntarily made her relax a bit

It was as warold and jade in glorious splendor, it was the first ti Jian had come to such a place She and Lin Si Ze, however, stayed in the corner

This was also the first tiendary emperor

His age was not s an indescribable power that deters others Gu Hong Jian secretly raised her head for a glance before hurriedly lowering her head That emperor, aloof and remote, had a benevolent father, filial son appearance as he inquired about a few of the princes' lessons Nevertheless, he skipped over Lin Si Ze as if he did not exist

Lin Si Ze had probably becoo as he kept his head lowered, eating silently

Gu Hong Jian watched his actions, feeling very sad Lin Si Ze quietly asked, ”Where is the box I had you take earlier?”

Gu Hong Jian very carefully gave it to him

Lin Si Ze packed a lot of food inside

Gu Hong Jian: ”…”

Lin Si Ze said, ”Your reward——return to Bai Fu Palace to eat it”

Gu Hong Jian: ”…”

She looked at the other nobles, each and every one dressed excellently She was the youngest ast the servants, and the ave rewards, stealthily setting aside food fro table

However, Gu Hong Jian thought, even if others took a fancy to uy really is too pitiful, pitiful to the point he had to split his own s with someone else

And that so Jian

This way of thinking had supported Gu Hong Jian to accompany Lin Si Ze for a full twenty years

In the future, he no longer let anyone think of him as 'pitiful,' nor would he exclusively share his possessions with solely Gu Hong Jian

At this ti Jian subtly and stealthily becah she had scanned Ying Xi Palace, she hadn't caught sight of that person——Zuo Ning Yan

After returning, she intentionally asked around She learned that there was a very a Celestial Master who had done a divination and declared that Zuo Ning Yan had a predestined fate in the capital during her lifetime and must be kept far away froe

Because this matter was actually so Jian had also inquired into thisYan couldn't return before she turned sixteen According to her calculations of Zuo Ning Yan's age, she couldn't return to the capital until Wànshùn Year 42 Gu Hong Jian felt significantlythis

Later, upon thinking about this, Gu Hong Jian would be unable to hts, as she had discovered that there truly was darkness within the Will of Heaven She had already known this froh intuition told her that Zuo Ning Yan and she were as incompatible as fire and water

ღღღ

The six years between Wànshùn Year 32 to Wànshùn Year 39 passed by quickly Gu Hong Jian trained her martial arts daily, and Lin Si Ze did the sa The absolutely empty Bai Fu Palace was forever occupied by only the two of them

At first, Gu Hong Jian still restrained herself when living in the lower servant quarters Seeing how this place truly was reht desire to move rooms—from the relatively inferior servant quarters to the head palace ht up this request to Lin Si Ze, he immediately allowed her to move to a side chamber

Although Bai Fu Palace was very remote, it also had master chambers and side chambers Lin Si Ze lived in the master chamber The side chauests For exaood relationshi+p and if the e could come over and stay in the side chamber of the palace

Or if there was an issue with the master chamber, the master could move to the side chamber to sleep
