Gu Yun was a little excited, of course, but more of an expectation.
As for whether this coming-of-age ceremony was shabby, he didn't care at all.
What he cares about is what kind of gift he will receive today.
Looking at the smile on his mother's face, Gu Yun seemed to be infected and followed the housekeeper's request step by step.
Just as the coming-of-age ceremony was about to end, someone came to report from outside, and His Majesty came in person.
This time, the princess frowned and had a bad feeling in her heart.
The same goes for Gu Yun.
This emperor has never set foot in the palace since his father went to war.
This happened suddenly today. Instead of ignoring it, I felt a sense of disgust in my heart.
The majestic emperor, when he came here, the first thing he saw was the princess. He didn't seem to pay attention to Gu Yun.
There's nothing I can do about it. How can Gu Yun still be that newborn baby? It's normal that he doesn't recognize her.
"Sister-in-law!"
Hong Zhi was dressed in casual clothes and was accompanied by two guards.
"I came here this time to ask..."
Before the princess could speak, Gu Yun on the side spoke first.
"Your Majesty wants to ask about my grandfather."
Gu Yun was a bit unusual today. At least he didn't do the courtesy he was supposed to do, and he suddenly said the things he shouldn't have said.
"My grandfather has never left the prison, so Your Majesty has made another trip in vain."
It was only then that Hong Zhi began to pay attention to Gu Yun.
"Yun'er, step back!"
When the princess saw this, she quickly shouted to stop and winked at Huanxin who was standing aside.
Seeing this, Huanxin tugged at the corners of Gu Yun's clothes twice and shook her head at him.
The princess apologized to Hong Zhi at this time.
Who is Hong Zhi? No matter how unhappy he is, he will not show it in this situation.
In fact, Hong Zhi didn't expect that today would be Gu Yun's coming-of-age ceremony.
Otherwise, how could he, a majestic emperor, come to such a scene without bringing a gift?
The scene was extremely embarrassing, and the coming-of-age ceremony had to be held.
Just when the adult ceremony was about to end, Gu Yun didn't wait for his so-called gift, and he was inevitably a little disappointed.
"Your Majesty, the people in this palace are too ignorant." A guard beside Hong Zhi said softly.
"Stop talking!" Hong Zhi glanced at the guard. Although he was blaming him, the expression on his face clearly showed that he was not in a good mood at this time.
"The prince is guarding the border outside, but I let him be humiliated in this royal city. It's my fault. I don't blame them."
When the guard heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable. He could only say that Your Majesty was too kind.
"let's go!"
Hong Zhi took a deep breath and didn't want to stay here any longer.
Just as Hong Zhi and others left, someone came to report.
"Princess, there is someone outside the door asking to see you. They say... they say they are here to celebrate the coming of age ceremony for the young master."
Hearing this, the princess had not yet reacted, but Gu Yun became more energetic.
"Who is it and what does it look like?"
"A woman, very beautiful and young."
The expression on Gu Yun's face was rich, completely leaving the princess and others aside, and said anxiously: "Then what are you waiting for? Please invite her in quickly.
No, I'll pick it up myself."
With that said, he ran out regardless of the occasion.
At this time, the servants in the palace all looked strange and turned their attention to the princess.
The princess smiled bitterly and asked the shadow on the side: "Do you know anything about it?"
Shadow shook his head.
How could he know? He didn't know anything about the things that the young master didn't want him to know.
At this time, Gu Yun ran out anxiously and saw the girl from a long distance away.
She is indeed very beautiful, wearing a long skirt, holding a box in her hand, and standing honestly at the door of the palace.
Gu Yun stopped and looked at the girl in front of him.
Until this moment, he was still not sure whether it was the other party.
Because it was a little different from what he thought. This girl, well, how should I put it, was a little different.
Stopping, Gu Yun looked at Yan'er, while Yan'er at the door was also looking at the young man in front of him.
"Are you Gu Yun, Master Gu?"
This opening made Gu Yun even more disappointed. This girl was definitely not the one he knew.
"I am Gu Yun, you..."
"My lady asked me to give you a gift."
With that said, she handed over the box in her hand.
Yan'er was also a little disappointed. The young man in front of him looked very talented, but there was still a gap between him and his own lady.
Just like this, how did he make his young lady fall in love with him so much?
"So, where is your lady?"
"My lady can't come, so let me give you the gift."
Gu Yun took a deep breath, seemed to have thought of something, and said quickly: "Then wait a moment, I also have a gift to give to your lady."
Having said this, he ran back quickly.
From beginning to end, neither of them asked about each other's identity, nor did they prove each other.
First of all, this is the palace, so Yan'er can't give the wrong gift.
Secondly, Gu Yun believed that the only one who could give him a gift in this situation was Feng Mingming, so...
Yan'er didn't have to wait too long. When Gu Yun ran out again, he also had a box in his hand.
Passing the box to Yan'er: "I want to give this to your lady, please do it for me."
At this time, Hong Zhi, who had just left, received a message.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Hu just sent news that the woman went to the palace."
"Going to the palace?" Hong Zhi was stunned for a moment, then said: "Two people?"
"There is only one person with a gift. It seems that he is going to give a gift."
Hong Zhi's face turned a bit unsightly.
The news came from ancient magic, so he learned about the situation in advance.
However, just when he didn't know what to do, the other party actually got involved with the palace.
For a moment, he felt complicated and had various thoughts.
"She went in?"
"No, just outside the palace gate, I had a few words with the Crown Prince and exchanged gifts."
"Do you know what the gift is?"
"I don't know. It's too far away. I just know it's a box, and they don't seem to be familiar with it."
"Okay, I understand, let's go back first!"
Gu Yun had no idea how much of a psychological burden his exchange of gifts with Yan'er had put on Hong Zhi.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Now, he can't say he has any favorable impression of the entire Xie Yue Dynasty. In his heart, except for the royal family, everyone else is an outsider.
Take the box and prepare to go to your room.
Who would have thought that before he could go back, he would be stopped by the princess.
"Yun'er, the adult ceremony is over, we have to have a reunion dinner, right?"
"Master, the food is ready and waiting for you."
