Chapter 139 Who is this person?
Wei Dongning nodded.
She had already chosen the clothes she wanted to wear a few days ago.
Not only that.
She had even chosen clothes that matched Gu Peiyan's style.
However, she doesn't plan to tell him yet.
Consider it a surprise for him.
I imagine Gu Peiyan likes it.
"That's good." Gu Peiyan put the empty bowl back into the food box.
He took a silk handkerchief hanging nearby and wiped his mouth and hands clean before unfolding the painting that Wei Dongning had chosen.
With a few strokes of the pen, Xiao Wu's mischievous appearance became even more vivid.
"Do you think this modification would be better?"
"My God, you're practically Ma Liang with his magic paintbrush."
Gu Peiyan, feeling embarrassed, laid out the silk cloth that she had prepared a few days ago and began to draw the sketch they had just discussed onto the cloth, bit by bit.
Painting on silk is not as easy as painting on paper, so Gu Peiyan was extra careful with every stroke.
I was afraid that if I wasn't careful, I would ruin the integrity of the whole picture.
Wei Dongning stood to the side, barely daring to breathe.
She was even more afraid that making a sound would affect Gu Peiyan's movements.
Only after Gu Peiyan finished the last stroke did Wei Dongning let out a deep breath: "I was suffocating."
What do you think?
The two spoke almost simultaneously, and Wei Dongning couldn't help but laugh out loud: "We two always manage to show our tacit understanding in these strange places."
Then, rubbing her legs, she said to him, "Let me sit for a while. My legs are getting sore from standing for so long."
Gu Peiyan then belatedly realized that she had been standing the whole time, and quickly stood up and pulled her to sit down in a chair: "Sorry, I overlooked that just now."
He was so engrossed in his painting that he forgot to ask her to sit down.
A sense of guilt immediately overwhelmed Gu Peiyan.
Wei Dongning didn't seem to mind: "It's alright, I just forgot to sit down."
There was actually an empty chair not far away, but she was too lazy to ask Xiao Fu to help her move it.
Moreover, if he sits down, the view of the painting in Gu Peiyan's hands will be partially obscured by his sleeve.
It is also a visual disturbance in terms of visual enjoyment.
Gu Peiyan stood behind Wei Dongning, bent down slightly, put his hands around her on the table, and completely encircled her in his arms.
Fine breaths sprayed onto her head.
If Wei Dongning were to raise her head now, she could kiss him right on the chin.
Even just looking at her, Xiao Fu felt that she was completely superfluous to be there.
Seeing that they weren't paying any attention to her, she tiptoed out quietly.
Leave the space entirely to them.
Wei Dongning looked left and right but couldn't see anything wrong. She picked up two clean calligraphy brushes, crossed them, looked up at the big head above her head, and shook the thing she was holding: "Gu Peiyan, help me pick up the mask and put it on this. I want to see how it looks."
Gu Peiyan obediently draped the painted silk cloth over the brush.
Even with a brush slightly thicker than the kite frame, the pattern on the silk fabric wasn't distorted too much. Wei Dongning nodded in satisfaction: "It's perfect. Xiao Fu, go find a kite-making shop tomorrow and ask them to help assemble it."
Not hearing a reply, Wei Dongning put down what she was holding in confusion, only to hear a soft laugh coming from above her head: "Xiao Fu has already gone out."
She was so focused on what she was looking at that she didn't even notice this little thing.
Wei Dongning clicked her tongue: "Okay."
Xiao Fu hadn't actually left; she was standing at the door waiting for them to call her.
As soon as Gu Peiyan finished speaking, she pushed open the door and walked in: "Young Madam, what do you need me to do?"
Gu Peiyan rolled up the silk cloth in her hand and handed it over: "Find someone to assemble it tomorrow."
"Yes."
Xiao Fu went to the same shop where they used to buy kites.
Since he was a regular customer, assembling the frame wasn't difficult, and the shop owner quickly handed a complete kite back to Xiao Fu.
He didn't forget to chat with her for a bit: "Just by looking at this mask, you can tell that the artist must have put a lot of effort into it. Your young lady is truly blessed."
“Yes, my son-in-law is truly wonderful to Miss.” Xiao Fu smiled at the shop owner, holding the finished kite. “But I think my son-in-law is the lucky one. He’s fortunate to have married my Miss.”
"Haha, you little girl, you're quite loyal."
Xiao Fu smiled but said nothing. She counted out the copper coins, handed them to the shopkeeper, and then returned to the Gu residence with her kite.
Wei Dongning only opened it and glanced at it; it was no different from what she had expected: "Let's put it aside for now and take it out again in a couple of days."
We don't need it right now.
She didn't plan to bring the kite to the spring banquet tomorrow.
After all, it was agreed that this was exclusively for her and Gu Peiyan, and she wanted to save it for their date.
"Ningbao, the latest intelligence is that the hostage from Jin Kingdom will also appear this time."
"Then you'll have to help me find out who he really is tomorrow."
The hostage prince of Jin Kingdom—a figure who already sounds somewhat unfamiliar to most people.
Wei Dongning was stunned for two seconds before she remembered who he was.
"Didn't Naonao say a while ago that that person was preparing to return to Jin Kingdom?"
Speaking of this, Wei Dongning recalled Su Yizhuo's speechless expression a few days ago.
According to the tropes of the novels and TV dramas they had read, the prince who was sent as a hostage was more or less someone who wanted to go back to fight for the throne and then return to avenge the humiliation he suffered in a foreign land.
As it turned out, the hostage from Jin Kingdom didn't play by the rules at all.
He truly remained obedient and stayed in the residence prepared for him in the palace. Unless there was an occasion that required his presence, he would not allow him to leave the courtyard.
During the time he was responsible for monitoring him, Su Yizhuo almost became depressed.
He said this to Wei Dongning: "That guy is like a human robot. I even suspect that Jin Kingdom sent over a solar-powered robot. If I lived that kind of life, I would have gone crazy long ago. He's quite leisurely. A few days ago, he even asked the eunuch for some seeds, saying that he wanted to change the flower seeds in the courtyard this year. Really, with such a calm mind, he will succeed in whatever he does."
Even though he said that, Su Yizhuo couldn't help but feel a little envious of him.
After all, he's busy every day with things he loves to do; on the other hand, he's destined to be enslaved.
Oh, it's not entirely without its advantages.
My sleep quality has improved by more than a few hundred million points.
He can now fall asleep whenever he wants, and take naps anytime, anywhere.
Xiao Wu nodded, acknowledging Wei Dongning's earlier statement, but added, "They won't be leaving until the end of this month. You should ask your brother about the reasons today. He definitely knows more than I do."
Xiao Wu is getting really annoyed by this barrier that the bureau has set up for it.
These are all events that happen in this small world, so why should it only be allowed to see content from one country?
It has suspected more than once that the Bureau of Time Travel is engaging in a new form of regional discrimination.
