164 Summons (Second Update)

Sunlight spat out the wine in his mouth, raised his head, and complained to Xiahou Qing again:
"Meow, meow, meow!"
How can he give wine to the cat?!
The two looked at each other again.
Xiahouqing sat up straight again, pursing her thin lips, and the blush on her cheeks deepened, as if she had applied rouge.
"Don't like it?" Xiahouqing asked softly and gently, looking innocent but somewhat uneasy.
Cats have always been opportunistic masters. You take a step back, and they take a step further. Their arrogance grows, and they proudly wave their claws, taunting Xiahou Qing.
"Meow, meow!"
After shouting, he felt a choking and bitter taste in his mouth, and his heart was still not at ease. So he scratched his sleeve and rubbed his face, the pink pad on his feet leaving wet plum blossom prints all over his sleeve.
When the cat's claws brushed against the sleeve, it was surprised to find that the fabric, embedded with gold thread, felt quite good under its claws.
In an instant, the cat's eyes lit up, and it excitedly scratched at his cuff with its claws, in just a few strokes, it shredded his exquisite and gorgeous sleeve into a messy "fringe".
"..." Gu Yanfei loosened his grip on the sword hilt, then tightened it again, speechless.
Has this cat gone wild?
She shook her head, her gaze sweeping between the cat and the person in front of her.
Xiahou Qing stared at the left cuff that was scratched by a cat, and her red and delicate lips twitched slightly.
Her pupils rapidly contracted, and a deeper and darker shadow appeared at the bottom of her eyes, revealing a painful and conflicted expression.
His forehead bulged with prominent blue veins, and he bit his tongue slightly.
The taste of blood in his mouth brought a hint of clarity to his confused and deep eyes.
Almost using all his strength, he forcibly shifted his gaze away from those beautiful cat-like eyes.
Not good! A warning bell rang in Gu Yanfei's mind, and he quickly scooped up the cat sharpening its claws on Xia Houqing's sleeve and turned away without hesitation.
The servant guarding outside the elegant seat saw that Xia Houqing did not react and thought he had agreed, so he didn't dare to stop Gu Yanfei and his servant.
Gu Yanfei moved very quickly and ran to the stairwell in the blink of an eye, only to hear a male voice tinged with barely suppressed anger coming from the private room behind him: "Get back here!"
Only fools would go back! Gu Yanfei didn't even look back, and quickly went downstairs with nimble steps, with Juan Bi following closely behind.
The Tianyin Pavilion is quiet, with no one from the second floor to the first floor, empty and deserted.
The actors and musicians are gone from the original stage, and those who came to watch the performance don't know where they went, only leaving half-eaten bowls, chopsticks, cups, and dishes on the table.
No wonder it suddenly became quiet.
An old man with white hair and a withered appearance blocked her path with his arms. It was Old Qi.
Gu Yanfei remained calm and leisurely smiled, saying, "Are you sure you want to stop me?"
Old Qi looked back at him expressionlessly, unmoving.
Gu Yanfei raised her eyes and accurately met Xiahou Qing in the second-floor seat, holding a three-colored cat in her arms.
There was a strange and almost devouring gaze in his eyes as he hung a section of bright red sleeve out of the window. The originally brand-new sleeve was scratched by the cat, looking like a string of tassels now.
He stood out from the crowd with his neat and tidy clothes and accessories, like a bright red peony flower with a petal forcibly scratched off by a cat.
Facing him, Gu Yanfei curled his lips and looked up at him, with a hint of laziness, a touch of narrowness, and a trace of cunningness, his dark eyes shining like a night sky adorned with stars.
Xia Houqing also looked down at Gu Yanfei, with half-drooping eyelashes, his eyes were even darker and deeper, without a trace of a smile, not revealing any emotions.
The two of them looked at each other from a distance for a while, as if engaged in a silent confrontation.
Xiahou gently waved his left sleeve, and the "tassel" sleeve hid behind the window sill, while Old Qi immediately stepped back and disappeared into the shadows.
"Until next time."
Gu Yanfei waved goodbye without any attachment and continued to move forward.
With a cheerful mood, she grabbed the cat and noticed a strand of golden thread caught on its paw. Her eyebrows curved and she smiled as she praised the cat, "Well done."
"Meow?" The calico cat blinked innocently, not really understanding what she was praising, but confidently responded.
It feels capable all along!
Without it, its useless owner can't do anything at all!
The cat raised its head both arrogantly and contemptuously.
Guyan Fei casually put the cat on her shoulder, letting it lie on her shoulder while walking along the street, while pondering the pulse she just touched.
The yang qi is insufficient, and the governor vessel is blocked...
Clearly, Xia Houqing suddenly changed her attitude because she mentioned this pulse condition.
Um.
Guyan Fei touched his chin, looked up at the sky above, and pondered:
    Last time, she hit the nail on the head about his background, and he immediately changed his attitude.
    And now she's hit the nail on the head about his pulse, and he's again quick to change his tune.
    Ha ha, this person truly is unpredictable!

Just like the fickle weather, the sky had been bright and cloudless early in the morning when she and Wei Jiaoniang set out. But now, a thin layer of gloomy clouds had covered the sky.
It is estimated that it will snow in a few hours.
There is still time to go shopping!
Gu Yanfei happily strolled through the streets with the cat, and went to the restaurants, shops, embroidery shops, and so on that Wei Jiaoniang mentioned before. They enjoyed themselves and bought a car full of things.
Until the afternoon, she returned to the Hou Mansion slowly and came back with a full load.
As soon as she entered the corner door, before Gu Yanfei had even gotten off the carriage, the steward maid of Mrs. Hou, Wang, hurriedly approached the carriage.
"Second Miss, this old servant has been waiting for you here for a while. Hurry back and change your clothes to prepare for entering the palace," Old Nurse Shi said anxiously, her wrinkled face turning red in the cold wind.
"Go into the palace?" Gu Yanfei casually raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why would they suddenly want me to enter the palace?"
She effortlessly lifted a woven bamboo basket from the carriage, and inside the basket, a calico cat slept, forming a ball of three-colored fur.
"Second Miss, Lady Hou and Third Miss have been ready for a while, we are just waiting for you, Second Miss," Granny Shi didn't directly answer, but kept urging, "Don't keep the noble ladies in the palace waiting."
"No." Gu Yanfei dropped the two words bluntly, too lazy to say more.
It's impossible to let her enter the palace without saying anything.
Gu Yanfei leisurely walked by Shi Mama's side and headed towards the direction of the Inner Ceremony Gate.
"..." Aunt Shi was stunned, her eyes widened in disbelief.
It's worth knowing that there are many people in the capital who yearn to enter the palace and broaden their horizons, but Miss Second doesn't even want to go?!
"Miss Er, please wait!" Shiba hurriedly caught up after realizing her delay, her steps quickening.
She didn't dare to stop Gu Yanfei, but only chased after her, panting heavily as she said, "It's a message from the Empress Dowager just arrived at the mansion. Madam Hou is afraid that Miss Er wouldn't have enough time to groom herself, so she had the old slave wait here for you."
石嬷嬷的语气一下子就软了好几分,生怕顾燕飞坚持不去。
太后的口谕?顾燕飞自然而然地想到韦娇娘之所以匆匆离开也是因为太后有口谕让她进宫去,又想到了今日康王府有那真龙异象……
Gu Yanfei stopped and thoughtfully touched the three-colored cat in his basket. The cat, who was sound asleep, lazily covered its eyes with one paw and didn't even flinch.
Shi Mammy watched Gu Yanfei carefully and was about to persuade him a little more kindly when she heard Gu Yanfei say indifferently, "Then let's go."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Shi sighed with relief and said with a forced smile, "I will immediately go and inform Madam Hou."
Madam Hou had already sent people to search for the second miss and Wei Jiuguniang after hearing they had gone out. She even stationed people at the gate, fortunately it wasn't too late.
After the little incident just now, Auntie Shi no longer urged, afraid of provoking Gu Yanfei.
Gu Yanfei returned to Yuheng Palace and changed into a snow-blue dress, then came out again, with one less cat in his hand.
Mrs. Wang, Hou's wife, had been waiting in the carriage at the ceremonial gate for quite some time, and she was getting anxious. From time to time, she would open the curtains and look outside.
Mrs. Wang had already learned from Nurse Shi that Gu Yanfei initially refused to go. So, no matter how impatient or restless she felt, she had to suppress it and instructed the coachman to start the journey.
Wang took the horse-drawn carriage with intricate carvings as the front car and left the marquis's mansion first. Gu Yanfei, on the other hand, got on the second carriage at the back and sat with Gu Yunyan.
Today, Gu Yunyan wore a dress embroidered with red peonies and butterflies. The hundreds of colorful butterflies fluttered and played between the skirts, exquisite and magnificent.
She was wearing a double bun with several butterfly pearl flowers in her temples. Between her hair, the delicate butterfly wings fluttered slightly, shining against the large red butterfly ornament on her forehead, making her look charming and elegant.
"Second sister." Gu Yunxuan greeted Gu Yanfei casually, with a pair of shallow dimples on her lips.
She looked charming and spoke in a warm and gentle tone, as if she had forgotten the previous unpleasantness. However, she also had lost the previous "enthusiasm," revealing just the right amount of politeness.
Yanfei Gu sat down on a stool opposite Yunxuan Gu, facing each other at a distance of only four or five feet.
The coachman shouted and then waved his whip. The carriage slowly started moving and gradually accelerated after leaving the Marquis's residence.
The carriage remained quiet for a while, until Gu Yunyan broke the silence: "Sister, do you know why we are going to the palace today?"
Gu Yanfei stared at Gu Yunyan fixedly, her pupils unusually clear and bright in the dim carriage.
Gu Yunxuan looked calmly at Gu Yanfei without any discomfort.
When Gu Yunxuan thought that Gu Yanfei would ignore her, she heard Gu Yanfei respond with a non sequitur: "I went out today and happened to hear something interesting..."
"......" Gu Yunhan looked at her inexplicably, waiting for her to continue.
"I heard that there was a real dragon phenomenon in the sky above the Kangwang Mansion." Gu Yanfei's lips showed a faint smile, his expression and tone seemed casual, but it seemed like he had a hidden meaning. "How about it, isn't it interesting?"
Gu Yunxuan's gaze still fell on Gu Yanfei's face, examining her deeply.
