The first thing Gu Moyan did when he woke up the next morning was to burn incense for the two spirit tablets.

Summer was slowly approaching this land, even the impetuous factor in the air was stirring, let alone a person.

Everyone in the palace had changed into gauze and put on their clothes. It was almost time for the Bath Orchid Festival, just these few days, even the Clear Stream Restaurant which had nothing to do with him was affected by the aura, although he knew that the masters would not be invited to the banquet, he could still not resist the hearts of the servants who wanted to play around, causing Gu Moyan's mood to become more lively.

Seeing that it was the same as his own place, he had the habit of wrapping the rice dumplings, but they were all called "Hornless", and although he was a bit eager, he was stopped by Zi Ye. They spoke of their superiority and order, so it was best not to get too close to them.

Gu Moyan did not understand, but still agreed, he knew that this identity prevented them from going over there, and prevented them from going over with those people. However, that was not the reason why Zi Ye did not let him go. After seeing the Empress' personality these days, even if some servants told his that he was not the Empress, he would not say a word. If it was in the past, even if he was sent here by the emperor, it would not change the behavior of those little barbarians. However, he was afraid that if the Empress were to go now, he would suffer even more humiliation.

Just like this, Gu Moyan woke up in the morning to give some incense, then leaned back on the bed to watch the lotus flowers gradually blooming day by day. Standing in the middle of the lake, looking at the scene on the other side, it was very lively, but it also seemed to be very far away from him.

And also like in his previous life, but at least in his previous life, didn't he still have Father Gu by his side? Who was there now? Gu Moyan once again felt that he was deeply isolated.

"Empress, esteemed wangfei ?" An excited voice sounded out from outside the door. Gu Moyan put down the book in his hand, raised his head and looked at Zi Ye who had already pushed open the door, his face filled with suspicion.

"Empress, guess what good news it is." Zi Ye stood at the door and waved the bright yellow book in his hand, as though he was going to give a pleasant surprise, and did not go in.

Gu Moyan was really unable to guess what made Zi Ye so excited. Bright yellow? He then asked softly, "Is it the invitation?" There was no emotion in his tone.

Zi Ye stood at the door in a daze. After a while, he answered as if he was talking to himself, "The Emperor invites the Empress to a feast. The day of the banquet seems to be tomorrow." After saying that, she presented it in front of Gu Moyan, then raised her head and looked at him with an excited expression.

Gu Moyan looked up. Tomorrow was the day when he would be bathing in orchids, and the reason for that was to invite the ministers and concubines of the palace. It was not strange for them to call him, why did he make Zi Ye sound so happy?

If it was the past, Gu Moyan would probably be as excited as the present Zi Ye to the point that he wanted to jump. Unfortunately, he wasn't. It was not as Zi Ye had wished, he only responded indifferently, then his line of sight returned to the book.

Zi Ye was a little surprised. Shouldn't the Empress be happy to see the emperor? How could it be so plain. He was calm, as if everything was within his expectations.

Gu Moyan indeed did not have any expectations to see that so-called monarch again, the one who gave him warmth in the dream. Everything was normal.
