Chapter 5

1967 Words
"I didn't know that you're here, Prime Minister. I'm sorry I didn't have the time to greet you," I said as I bowed respectfully to him. After all, these were just basic courtesy for my parents. "Miss Feiyang, there's no need to be so polite. Call me Lonely Sky," he said leisurely, giving off a unique bearing. "How could that be..." "Why can't I? I just sincerely make friends with you. Or, you call me Lonely Sky, and I call you Feiyang. There are so many friends who can be nice to you." He tilted his head slightly while speaking, and then smiled softly at me, like a dancing snowflake in the sky. He was so clean and pure, unlike a person who had been floating in the officialdom for years. I looked at the starlight in his eyes and finally compromised. "Jitian, are you here today to listen to a song?" Come on, you must be right. Except for being able to sing a little, I know nothing else. "Well, that's good." "Qiu Ju, bring me a pot of wine." I turned around after giving out the order. "What would you like to hear from Jitian?" "I'll take that one from that day." After a while, Qiu Ju brought the wine to the stage, so I asked her to accompany. As the music slowed down, I sang along with her. With a good voice and musical sense, it was not difficult to sing. After the other end of the wine came in, he drank a few cups of wine on the sea-returning day. Then he was not in a hurry to drink, but listened quietly. Looking at him like this, I suddenly understood why there were so many people who loved him. He was really an excellent man. As he listened, he raised his head to drink a few more cups of wine. It was not enough to finish one jug at a time, so he asked someone to send a few more jugs of wine. After he finished singing 'Hen Pupil', I sang a few more tunes, all of which were somewhat sad. The more he listened to, the more he felt sad as he looked at them. In just a few songs, Gui Haitian had already filled up the mess of bottles in front of him. He no longer listened to music and just kept drinking. He was drunk now. I had to say that he was a well-cultivated man. Even if he was drunk like this, no indecent behavior could be seen. He just drank as if he was dead. I couldn't stand it anymore. I gently walked over and snatched the wine bottle from Guihai Chengtian's hand. "Judshitian, drinking is harmful to your body. You should stop when it's necessary." He looked at me with hazy eyes, and the look of meeting me for the first time appeared in his eyes. He seemed to miss the past, deep and sad. All of a sudden, he held me in his arms and muttered some words. "Xiao Ling, is it you? You're still worried about me, aren't you? That's why you appeared. Xiao Ling, I don't want to drink, but I can't find you unless I drink. Why are you so heartless? Why don't you leave me alone? You clearly said that you love me. Xiao Ling, I miss you so much." His voice was soft and soft, as if he was afraid of scaring her. He hugged me tightly and rested his head on my neck. When I struggled slightly, he hugged me even tighter. "Xiaomin, don't go well." A drop of hot tear dripped into my neck. The heat deeply shocked me. I forgot to struggle for a moment. "So, he also cried? So, is, is it, he always been very fragile? Was the normally smiling him not the original him?" I felt a wave of heartache. Guihai Chengtian felt that he was no longer struggling and seemed to be much more relieved. Although he was still holding me, he was no longer so hard. "Xiaoxiao, you won't leave anymore, will you? Promise me, okay? Never leave me." I found that I couldn't be hard-hearted enough to say no. "All right." Hearing my reply, he seemed to be relieved. He gently leaned on my shoulder with a happy smile on his face, which was different from the alienated smile he used to have. "Xiaomin, Xiaomin, Xiaomin..." He kept calling softly, as if he could rest at ease, and then fell into a deep sleep. "Xiaoxiao?" I remembered the rumors in the marketplace. "Is it the Top Beauty, Su Xiaoxiao? Is this the reason why the Guihai's Silence Day is approaching me?" ###Chapter11,Swimming in the Lake From that day on, when the days of Gui Hai's death came to my Autumny Pavilion, it suddenly became frequent, sometimes for two days, and sometimes for one day. But he no longer mentioned Su Xiaowan, nor did I mention it. We didn't even mention that day when he was drunk. On that day, I called him Autumny and helped him to the bed, then I sat by the bedside and waited. I heard that people who were drunk would feel uncomfortable. I didn't know when I fell asleep. When I woke up, I had already been lying in bed, and the days of Gui Hai's death had already gone. He stopped drinking when he came. I always felt that he remembered what happened that day, although he was drunk. He just sat, drank a cup of tea, or listened to me sing a song. He would leave after two hours. When I had nothing to do, I asked Wu Die to take me out to have a look. After that, Wu Die came a few times, but she didn't come because she encountered the lonely sea. When I called her, she was just fine. So, she was ready to go out happily. It was my first time shopping and everything I saw was fresh. Although ancient times were not as prosperous as modern times, it was still bustling. Streets and alleys were full of noise. There were all kinds of delicious and funny places everywhere. Although the gold hairpins and jewelry were not as good as modern ones, they were designed in a delicate way and made me fond of them. Fortunately, I didn't have the habit of buying anything I liked, or I couldn't go back today. As she walked, a lake suddenly appeared in front of her. The lake was clear, the scenery was beautiful, and the scenery was pleasant. There were many boats on the lake. Occasionally, there were the sound of musical instruments or singing poems. It could be seen that it was a good place for the talented and beautiful to date. "This is the Ice Moon Lake." The dancing butterfly explained to me when she saw that I was in high spirits. "It is the largest lake in the Guiling, and also the favorite place of the emperor and beauty of the Guiling. There is a different flavor in the combination of poetry and dance." It had flavor, mountains, water, and a beauty. It was indeed a good painting. Some of the ships were private to officials and nobles, and some were private to service industry. They were better than some high-end restaurants and were comparable to the Feng Yue House. Wu Die took me to find the Feng Yue House's cruise boat. It happened to be empty today, and when she saw that we were all on the brothel list, she agreed to let us go to the lake for a while. Originally, the sky would be dark soon. After boarding the ship for a while, the sky would be completely dark. When night fell, the cruise liner lit up. Suddenly, the lake was sparkling under the light. The Frostmoon Lake, which was already bustling, was even more lively. The cruise liner, which was originally parked on the bank during the day, was driven to the center of the lake. Some of the extremely luxurious cruise ships of the noble royal family also opened. At that time, the Frostmoon Lake was like a big garden, and thousands of flowers were competing for beauty. I almost thought I was in a fairy tale. Suddenly, there was a commotion on the lake, and even the people on the shore were excited. "Look, that's Prince Anyi's ship!" Someone shouted first, so everyone looked in one direction. In the darkness, there was a vague shadow gradually approaching. Just by looking at it, one could tell that it was definitely a rich man's boat. Its size and decoration were not something that ordinary people could possess. When they arrived at the center of the lake, the lights of the boat suddenly turned on, making it look even more luxurious and noble. "You're so lucky today. But I don't know if I can see Prince Anyi." I didn't know when Wu Die had also come to my side. She looked at the boat with hope. "Prince Anyi?" I asked in doubt, as if I had heard that before. The dancing butterfly looked at me as if looking at a monster, as if I were asking how stupid he was. "Don't you know Prince Anyi? Even a three-year-old child knows about him in the whole Xia Dynasty." Wu Die sighed with emotion. Seeing that I was still confused, she shook her head. "Prince Anyi Huyi is like a god. Only a few people have ever seen him in the whole dynasty. He is extremely mysterious and is the favorite minister of His Majesty. There was once His Majesty got seriously ill, and even the imperial physician said that there was no way to save him. But I don't know where he came from. He cured His Majesty in one night. His Majesty is very grateful to him. In addition, he is outstanding in appearance and talented. His Majesty made an exception for him and made an exception for him to be Prince Anyi. He and Prime Minister Guihai both called him 'Young Master of Guiling'." It was the first time I saw such a look on Wu Die's face. She had never been so respectful to Guihai Jingtian. This also made me more curious about who this Prince Anyi was. I stretched my neck and looked at the boat of Prince Anyi. But except for the light, it seemed that there was no one on the boat, even no servant. Why was it so mysterious? I turned back angrily. Since I couldn't see the beauty, I planned to go back. It was so late. If I didn't go back, I should be scolded by my mother. Fengyue House was for business at night. Even if I didn't have to pick up guests, I should stay in Fengyue House. Just as I was about to discuss going back with Wu Die, she pointed excitedly behind me with her hand covering her mouth, unable to speak. The surrounding quietened down, causing the night to be especially quiet. When I saw the horror movie I had seen, I couldn't help but feel my hair stand on end and chills run down my spine. When we slowly turned around, we saw that the boat of the Prince Anyi, who was far away from us in the sea, was very close to us. A man stood on the deck, and his white clothes were as white as snow. His long black hair danced with the wind, which was already better than all kinds of amorous feelings in the world. He covered his face and couldn't see his face clearly, but his eyes were charming and attractive, just like a fox spirit. I couldn't help but take a few breaths. "Is he still a human being?" As if sensing my gaze, he suddenly turned his head and looked into my eyes. Those eyes were silver! Those eyes were full of brilliance and glamor, making people unable to free themselves from them.
