Chapter 192: The Feeling of Concealment
Looking at the seductive dancers in front of him, Gu Yu didn’t know what to say.
The dancers in the palace, each with their bewitching and enchanting demeanor, gracefully twisted their waists in front of everyone, like water weeds in the sea, or like flowers blown by the breeze.
Paired with colorful gauze attire, they exuded even more charm.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the dancers were all throwing seductive glances at him, causing Gu Mengyao, who was sitting beside him, to frown, clearly jealous.
This made Gu Yu want to laugh and cry. He thought, they’ve been married for over a decade, doesn’t she know what kind of person he is?
In Gu Yu’s heart, except for his little wife, all other women were ugly monsters.
Of course, Gu Yu speculated that Gu Mengyao’s seemingly naive reaction might be intentional.
Thinking of this possibility, Gu Yu smiled slightly, feeling a stir in his heart.
After Gu Yu smiled, he became even more breathtakingly beautiful, possessing a charm like flowers blooming in winter, causing the dancers to momentarily daze.
Not only that, but other ministers also cast furtive glances his way.
After all, Gu Yu had a natural feminine appearance, and in his youth, he possessed a unique charm.
He attracted both men and women.
If he were in modern times, he would be a complete heartthrob.
He wouldn’t even need makeup…
Afterwards, when the dancers recovered from their daze, they continued to twist their slender waists, and the fans in their hands were inadvertently tossed out.
As the fans landed in front of the low table where Gu Yu was sitting, they immediately drew a large amount of attention towards them.
If anyone said these dancers weren’t doing it on purpose, they wouldn’t believe it even if they were beaten to death.
After all, almost all the dancers’ fans were thrown towards Gu Yu, with only one or two missing their mark and landing on the tables of the two nobles sitting next to Gu Yu.
When these two nobles happily picked up the fans, they thought triumphantly that even the palace dancers favored them.
It’s important to know that palace dancers are not the same as dancers outside; their status alone is much nobler.
Although it was considered a demotion for ministers to marry a dancer, for ordinary civilians to marry a palace dancer was like having saved the country in their past lives!
After all, these dancers had both beauty and a good figure; having one was enjoying immense blessings.
Having two, they would probably be unable to get out of bed.
As the two nobles winked at the dancers, they were met with disdain.
These two nobles weren’t exactly ugly, but compared to Gu Yu, they were immediately overshadowed.
If one had to describe it, it would be like a swan and a toad.
However, due to their training since childhood, even their disdainful glances were disguised with charm.
As they danced gracefully, it evoked passionate thoughts.
Just as the two nobles were lost in indescribable fantasies, Gu Yu picked up a fan that had fallen on the table.
Without looking at the dancers twisting like snakes, Gu Yu looked at the fan. The gauze was thin, but the embroidered patterns were plentiful.
Gauze paired with embroidery created a sense of concealment.
With this thought, Gu Yu’s lips curved upwards again. Then, to everyone’s surprise, he lifted the fan and placed it in front of Gu Mengyao.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Yu leaned in and boldly kissed his little wife on the lips.
This action was completely concealed by the fan…
However, the concealing effect was rather unsatisfactory.
Many people present didn’t know what to say about this bold guy, Gu Yu.
During the Empress’s birthday celebration, they were openly showing affection. It was truly admirable!
However, seeing that Empress Bai Qian didn’t seem to mind at all, many ministers secretly grumbled in their hearts.
It’s true that having connections makes things easier!
The Gu family was very important in the eyes of Empress Bai Qian!
Especially Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao, they were the Empress’s favorites.
If anyone else had made such a bold move, they might have been marked with a big ‘x’ in the Empress’s private notebook.
When the dancers saw Gu Yu’s bold declaration of love, they all knew they had no chance.
Gu Yu’s firm demeanor clearly showed that he would not be swayed by their temptations.
Although daring to tempt Gu Yu this time was also at the Empress’s suggestion, they were not forced to succeed.
It was just to test their abilities and see if they could successfully tempt Gu Yu.
Now, it seemed there was no hope at all!
However, seeing how loving Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao were, the dancers were envious, thinking how wonderful it would be if they one day had the same.
Love for a lifetime, with one soulmate.
Just thinking about it made them feel very happy.
“A Yu, there are so many people here! Are you crazy?”
When Gu Mengyao recovered from her stupor, she immediately punched Gu Yu’s chest a few times with her small fist.
She didn’t use much strength, it was like a kitten scratching.
However, it made Gu Yu feel an itch in his heart.
“I can’t help it, many women were sending me electric sparks, and I was afraid you would be jealous!”
“Even so, you shouldn’t…”
“Mengyao, the way you’re acting shy like this makes me feel so awkward!”
Seeing Gu Mengyao’s bashful expression, Gu Yu couldn’t help but chuckle wickedly and continued to tease his little wife.
Gu Mengyao cast him a coquettish glance, which made Gu Yu want to steal another kiss.
However, in the next moment, Gu Yu felt two intense stares.
When he looked up, he saw his father-in-law with a stern face, clearly showing his displeasure. He obviously thought that Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao should behave properly in front of everyone.
Gu Yu felt helpless to change his father-in-law’s old-fashioned views and could only pretend to be serious and sit still.
However, his hand was quickly held by Gu Mengyao under the table.
This time, Gu Mengyao didn’t say much.
Feeling the warmth of Gu Yu’s palm, Gu Mengyao thought that when they returned home today, she wouldn’t let Gu Yu off the bed.
Her little husband had been extremely provocative today. If she didn’t respond to his painstaking efforts, she would be letting him down.
Therefore, when they returned, she would have to cultivate diligently.
She hoped to bear fruit soon, which would also fulfill one of her wishes.
Having a cute child with Gu Yu was something Gu Mengyao had wanted for a long time!
However, whose appearance would the child inherit?
If according to the old saying, girls resemble their fathers and boys resemble their mothers, she wondered if their first child would be a boy or a girl…
