123 Good Job

The parrot’s cry was as loud and straightforward as ever, making Chu Yi chuckle. Even the Emperor laughed after a moment of shock.

Ever since Chu Yi returned to the capital in October, the Emperor had mentioned to him that he could choose the six tribes and go wherever he wanted to train. However, Chu Yi had never agreed and had only decided now.

The Emperor was in a good mood and personally fed the multicolored parrot some multicolored millet.

The parrot fell silent when it had something to eat and started pecking at the millet.

Chu Yi looked at it engrossed in its food and thought to himself, ‘Since she likes that cat, she should like parrots too…’

As he was thinking, he heard the Emperor’s gentle voice. “Do you want a parrot, Chu Yi?”

Chu Yi stared at the parrot for a moment, then shook his head.

It was not suitable.

A parrot in a cage was not suitable for her.

Thinking of that clear and carefree girl, Chu Yi’s lips curled up, and his black jade eyes lit up.

The Emperor was not disappointed to be rejected by his son. He thought to himself, ‘If Chu Yi doesn’t raise one, I can also raise another parrot and make a pair.’

Thinking of this, the Emperor’s heart skipped a beat. He put his fist to his lips and cleared his throat. “Chu Yi, although Chu You is your imperial uncle, he’s about the same age as you. His marriage is already set…”

“You’re 18 and not young anymore. Is there any girl you like?”

The Emperor leaned his face close and looked at Chu Yi with burning eyes, eager for him to give a name now.

The eunuch had no doubt that as long as the Eldest Prince could give him a name, the Emperor would immediately write an imperial decree to betroth him.

“…” Chu Yi’s eyelashes fluttered twice, and a charming smile appeared on his lips. Coupled with his brilliant eyes, he was so beautiful that it made one’s heart palpitate.

Without a word, he clenched his right hand into a fist and gently knocked on the desk, indicating that the Emperor could write a note.

“Good, good, good.” The Emperor naturally understood the meaning of his son’s action and said repeatedly, a hint of joy rising from the corners of his eyes.

“Good, good, good!”

Amidst the repeated and noisy cries of the parrot, the eunuch went out with the note written by the Emperor and personally made a trip to the Ministry of War.

Since the Emperor had personally given the order, the Ministry of War naturally did not dare to delay. They immediately issued a new transfer order.

Hence, that night, Gu Yuan received this transfer order from the Ministry of War.

He was transferred to the Divine Arms Battalion and promoted to a fourth-grade imperial guard.

The imperial guard was definitely a good job, and he would be in charge of the Emperor’s ceremonial guard and escort. The weight of his responsibility was obvious.

Moreover, Gu Yuan had advanced from the fifth-grade to the fourth-grade this time. This level was extremely important, and was equivalent to crossing the distance from “soldier” to “general”.

This was a joyful occasion for anyone.

However, Gu Yuan, who had received the transfer order, could not smile at all. He was even a little disappointed.

All these years, he had been determined to follow in his father’s footsteps and be able to fight on the battlefield. Although an imperial guard was glamorous, they had to circle around the Emperor, so it was equivalent to being trapped in the capital.

He wanted to go to the battlefield to kill enemies and expand the country’s territory.

At this moment, the sky had completely darkened. The night was as black as ink, and the full moon on the 15th of December hung high in the night sky. The silver moonlight added coldness to the already cold night.

At some point, snowflakes that looked like catkins floated down from the sky. A few snowflakes landed on Gu Yuan’s cheeks and eyelashes.

Gu Yuan did not notice the cold at all. He was a little depressed and listless.

He walked back dejectedly with the “hot” and “heavy” new transfer order.

After turning around, he saw Gu Yanfei standing more than a hundred feet ahead with a smile.

In the snow, Gu Yanfei was wearing a thick red cloak with rabbit fur, making her face look even smaller.

“Sister.” Gu Yuan quickly walked towards Gu Yanfei and raised his hand to help her put on the hood of her cloak. “The winter in the capital is much colder than in Huaibei. Be careful not to catch a cold.”

“Show me.” Gu Yanfei reached out to him as if it was only natural.

If she wanted it, Gu Yuan would give it to her.

Gu Yanfei took the transfer order and read it from beginning to end. Her thick eyelashes fluttered, and her lips curled into a faint smile.

If it was Imperial Duke Wei who had transferred Big Brother from the Jiuxiao Battalion to the Divine Arms Battalion, then the only person who could transfer him back to the imperial guard was either the Emperor or… the eldest prince, Chu Yi.

Interesting.

If this was really done by Chu Yi, then Big Brother would not be staying in the imperial guard for long. Chu Yi would not raise a fierce tiger like a cat in a nest of wealth.

However, she did not say anything about this. After returning the transfer order to Gu Yuan, she only said, “Big Brother, let’s go to the martial arts arena.”

Gu Yuan looked at Gu Yanfei in confusion.

Gu Yanfei smiled and pointed in a direction. Her eyes sparkled under the snowflakes as she said loudly, “Let’s go get the bows.”

“Big Brother, now that you’ve changed your job, you have to have a good bow.”

Before Gu Yuan could figure out the relationship, Gu Yanfei had already grabbed Gu Yuan’s sleeve skillfully and strode forward with him.

Gu Yuan obediently followed Gu Yanfei forward. The siblings went to the martial arts arena again.

The martial arts arena at night was quiet, empty, and lonely. At a glance, there was no one else except a sleeping night watchman.

There were only a few lanterns lit up dimly in the martial arts arena.

The siblings crossed the martial arts arena and walked towards Zhengqi Hall on the west side of the martial arts arena. From afar, they saw that the door of Zhengqi Hall was closed and locked.

However, Gu Yanfei did not care at all and kicked forward with her right foot.

The front door was simply kicked open. One of the doors, even the lock, fell to the ground with a loud bang, and even the snowflakes on the ground were sent flying.
