Chapter 323 A powerful official dressed as a man 1
The next day, when Gu Heng arrived at the Imperial College, he saw Yuyan covering her face with a book. He didn't know what she was reading, but she was reading so seriously that she almost immersed herself in the book.
Gu Heng's eyes flashed, and he walked forward and held Yuyan half in his arms in a very ambiguous manner, then he lowered his head and put it close to her face, pretending to be curious and asked.
"What is Master Yu looking at? So seriously?"
Yuyan got up early to teach and was very sleepy. Now she finally assigned them homework and asked them to complete it on their own, but she just sat there and dozed off with the book as a cover?
At this moment, she suddenly heard Gu Xiang's voice, which was right next to her ear, and scared Yu Yan.
She opened her hazy eyes and looked up towards the source of the sound, then her eyes met with Gu Heng's, and they almost touched faces.
This Yuyan was really born beautifully! Her skin was white and tender like goat's milk, her eyelashes were thick and long, and when they trembled slightly, they seemed to have a myriad of styles, and her deer-like eyes were pure and smart, making people unforgettable.
Gu Heng's eyes slowly moved down and stopped at the red lips that were as delicate as petals. The bright color seemed like a ripe cherry, exuding an attractive luster, making people want to kiss her.
His throat rolled unconsciously, and an indescribable desire surged in his heart.
At this moment, Yuyan saw who was coming, her pupils suddenly shrank, and her whole body immediately became alert.
She stood up, saluted, and took the opportunity to take a step back, trying to get away from Gu Heng.
"Gu, good morning, Prime Minister Gu!"
You have to be extremely careful in front of a fox that has lived for thousands of years! You can't show any signs of weakness.
"Good morning, Lord Yu. Did you not get enough rest last night? There are some dark circles under your eyes." Gu Heng looked at Yu Yan, who was frightened like a rabbit, raised his eyebrows slightly, and approached her again to ask.
"Thank you for your concern. The emperor has entrusted me with an important task. I am afraid that I am not talented enough to teach the princes well, so I study hard every night."
Yuyan looked at his handsome face so close to her, and leaned back inconspicuously to avoid those scrutinizing eyes.
"Master Yu, please don't underestimate yourself. You are extremely talented. You passed the imperial examination at the age of 16 and are now a lecturer. You will definitely become a pillar of the country in the future. I am very optimistic about Master Yu." Gu Heng looked at Yu Yan and praised her frankly.
Well, first get closer to each other, then get along well, then secretly turn him gay, and finally make him your own person, perfect.
"Thank you for your kind words."
What is Gu Heng going crazy about? Isn't this a term exclusive to him?
Was he being sarcastic? Did she offend him in some way?
"I heard that Lord Yu likes music. I happen to have a famous piano. I wonder if I would have the honor to listen to Lord Yu's fine art?" Gu Heng tried to find a topic again to get closer to Yu Yan.
However, he did not expect that Yuyan could not understand his painstaking efforts, but was very wary of him.
You want me to play the piano, but I just can't. Let's end this conversation now!
"…Minister Gu, you are too kind. How dare I show off my skills in front of you? Besides, I am not good at playing the zither, but I do know a little about the flute."
"That's perfect. I'm quite good at playing the zither. Lord Yu, would you be so kind as to play a piece for me?"
Gu Heng had already said this, and Yu Yan couldn't refuse him again and again for fear of angering him, so she had no choice but to agree.
"...Then I am sorry for my incompetence."
What on earth did Gu Heng want to do? Was he looking for a reason to kill her?
During lunch break, Gu Heng took Yuyan to his exclusive lounge. Gu Heng sat behind the piano table and pointed at the flute on the table and said to Yuyan.
"Master Yu, please."
"I am honored to present my humble performance." Yuyan bowed, then picked up the flute and started playing it casually.
She had originally thought of just saying a few words to please Gu Heng. She didn't dare to stay in the same room with Gu Heng for a long time. It would be bad if this old fox found out something.
But she didn't expect that Gu Heng could blend the sound of his piano into the tune she played casually without it being out of place.
No matter how varied Yuyan's flute sounds, he can still keep up with her rhythm, and the two of them play the piano and flute together, complementing each other.
After the song was over, Yuyan quickly put down the flute in her hand, bowed politely, and flattered the master.
"Minister Gu is an excellent pianist and I admire him greatly. It's getting late, so I won't disturb you from having a meal." Yuyan bowed and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, she was stopped by Gu Heng, who politely invited her.
"Lord Yu hasn't had lunch yet! Let's eat together!" As he said this, he walked towards the dining table that the eunuch had set.
Yuyan didn't want to have dinner with him, but she had no reason to refuse, so... she became even more frightened.
She didn't know what Gu Heng was trying to do? What was he thinking? Why was he so friendly to her all of a sudden? Was he calculating against her? But what was there about her that was worth him calculating against?
Yuyan, who was originally very worried, walked to the table and was dumbfounded when she saw the sumptuous lunch that was full of color, aroma and taste.
What the hell is this? How can a prime minister like you eat such good food in the palace?
Our lunch is one meat dish and one vegetable dish with white rice, but why do you have ten meat dishes, ten vegetable dishes and two soups? And you even have snacks and fruits as well? The difference on the table is a bit too big!
Yuyan's expression changed unpredictably, and Gu Heng also noticed her gaze, so he asked.
"Why, it's not to Master Yu's taste?"
"...No, I am not picky about food. I eat everything." Hearing Gu Heng's question, Yu Yan quickly squinted her eyes and smiled and replied to him.
"Oh, in that case, sit down and eat!"
"Oh, good."
Because they adhered to the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping, the two of them just ate quietly without saying a word.
After lunch, Yuyan was about to leave again, but unexpectedly Gu Heng took out the chessboard again and asked her.
"Master Yu, do you prefer black or white pieces?"
"...White."
Yuyan knew what he meant, but she couldn't openly confront him, so she could only obediently play chess with him again.
But at the end of the game, Yuyan had already started to place the pieces in a messy manner because she was a little drowsy.
Yuyan despised herself with a look of disappointment. You are now with the cunning Gu Heng, and you still have the mind to doze off. You are so careless.
But no matter how much she despised herself in her heart or how hard she tried to keep her eyes open, Yuyan still couldn't stop feeling sleepy. She yawned again and again, and her eyes were soon misted over.
Seeing her like that, Gu Heng raised the corners of his lips slightly and looked at her caringly.
"Since Lord Yu is tired, why don't you take a nap here first? We can play chess another day."
When Yuyan heard that he didn't have to play chess anymore, he planned to slip away and find a place to take a nap, but he didn't expect Gu Heng to let him sleep here.
Yuyan looked at Gu Heng's exclusive lounge and the high bed with soft pillows, and declined politely with some embarrassment.
"This, this is not good! How can I occupy Prime Minister Gu's bed? I'd better go to the pavilion outside to rest!"
"It's windy in the pavilion, how can you take a nap? Lord Yu, just sleep peacefully! I never take naps." After saying this, Gu Heng put away the chessboard and picked up a book to read.
"Then... then I'm sorry to bother you, Prime Minister Gu."
Yuyan bowed and then lay down on the bed to take a nap with peace of mind.
The bed was indeed soft, and there was a faint orchid scent on the bed, which smelled quite pleasant. Yuyan fell asleep quickly while smelling the fragrance.
Hearing Yuyan's steady breathing, Gu Heng put down the book in his hand.
He turned slightly sideways, gently supported his head with his right hand, looked at Yuyan's peacefully sleeping face, his calm face full of tenderness.
