Chapter 50: The Banqueter

The autumn weather is crisp, the sun is in the sky, the sky is like being washed by water, and even a cloud cannot be found.

Yi Jingxiao heard that Gu Xiangyi was coming, so he hurriedly walked out with Chan Jin, and when he saw the protagonist showing his face, the girl's family pulled their eyes back from Gu Xiangyi and followed Yi Jingxiao.

The young man wore a moon-white robe, his hair was like a crow, and his complexion was like jade, as if it was more dazzling than the orchid beside him.

Gu Xiangyi also followed the eyes of everyone, and saw that Yi Jingxiao in the middle of the crowd was like a beautiful jade, compared to other sons, like a pearl in the gravel, shining in the sun.

The two people, who are so regarded as the bearers of their appearance, look at each other at the moment, but it is rare to have a heart.

Fu Zhirong saw Yi Jingxiao's eyes, knew that he was looking at the six girls, sighed in her heart, and moved to Gu Xiangyi quietly, covering her tightly.

After Yi Jingxiao came out, Yi Jingyan also walked out. Compared with his third brother, Yi Jingyan seems to be a little deeper, the expression in his eyes is quite complicated, and his appearance is naturally not bad, but he is not as bright as Yi Jingxiao.

Although Yi Jingru did not participate in this 'wife selection banquet' because he was not too old, he did not intend to let go of the opportunity to see the beauty like this, and he also squeezed out of the crowd, and opened his mouth wide when he saw Gu Xiangyi.

"Second brother, isn't this the little lady I saw in Hongyun Tower that night!"

It is not uncommon for girls in Beijing to have good looks, but there are not many who are impressed when they see Gu Xiangyi, many girls are like crossing the river, and they can't remember what they looked like at a glance.

Listening to his stupid third brother shouting this sentence at once, Yi Jingxiao's face changed: "Don't talk nonsense, where is the girl I saw last time." ”

"It won't be wrong, can I still be dazzled?" Yi Jingru said with a smile.

The rest of the people focused their attention on Gu Xiangyi again.

Co-authored this son of the Yi family has already met with the six girls of the Gu family? Could it be that several people have already made a secret agreement and made a decision? This sixth girl of the Gu family is still the daughter of a boudoir, and she actually went to Hongyun Tower at night, it seems that Uncle Zhongyi's family education is not strict!

The tidal wave of discussion is like a tiny mosquito buzzing, and although you can hear it, you don't know where it comes from.

Fu Zhirong was half angry, barely leaning on the hand in his sleeve to squeeze it tightly before he couldn't help but not make a move on Gu Xiangyi, standing in front of her and saying coldly: "You are really promising! You dare to hook up with the prince of Jingde, and you go out in the middle of the night, you are waiting to return home!"

"Is my mother deaf?" Gu Xiangyi asked coldly.

Fu Zhirong was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her to say such a rebellious thing so calmly, gritted her teeth and said, "You actually disrespect me!"

Gu Xiangyi sneered disapprovingly: "Shicai Jingde Gongzi said clearly, the girl I met in Hongyun Tower at night was not me, it was the third prince who admitted his mistake, why did my mother detain me in such a hurry?"

Lu Mingsheng also said that he had seen you in Hongyun Tower at night!"

One is to admit mistakes, and the two can still admit mistakes? Could it be that Gu Xiangyi still has any twin sisters who look so similar to her? Fu Zhirong won't believe it!

As soon as Lu Mingsheng was mentioned, the smile on the corner of Gu Xiangyi's mouth became stronger: "When I mentioned Lu Gongzi, I thought of the third sister, instead of my mother deducting the crime here for me, it is better to take the third sister to learn the rules, if you lose this thing, you can't come back, I think the third sister will say that family affairs are a problem in the future." ”

Fu Zhirong turned her head suddenly, and saw her daughter looking at Yi Jingxiao, her eyes were full of love, and she couldn't help but be a little nervous in her heart, and said viciously: "You don't want to play tricks!"

"Daughter is terrified, isn't it a mother's specialty to play tricks?" Gu Xiangyi looked at Fu Zhirong with a smile, walked out of the pavilion with her legs raised, and said to Yi Jingru: "Yi Sangongzi really recognized the wrong person, there are many people here, and if you don't like it, the reputation of the little girl will be miserable." ”

Well, it is so gentle as water, and the Rakshasa in Hongyun Tower that night does not seem to be a person.

Thinking of the little lady's cruelty to Lu Mingsheng, Yi Jingru felt funny in her heart, and she was even more sure that she was not the beauty in front of her.

"It's true that I recognized the wrong person. Yi Jingru laughed and turned to everyone: "Don't get me wrong, I did eat too much wine that night and recognized the wrong person, don't go out and talk nonsense and ruin the reputation of other girls!"

Gu Fangyi pursed her lips, sweating with anger, and scolded Gu Xiangyi thousands of times in her heart. I thought that she was really a good seducer! At the beginning, the Song family was the father who hooked up, and now she is blatantly hooking up with several sons of the Yi family, so cheeky!

At this moment, Fang Yuchun was busy for a while, and just returned here and stopped, seeing the excitement of everyone's talk, he also approached and took a look.

She is forty years old, her makeup is delicate and her maintenance is excellent, and her hair is full of pearls and greens, and she looks only about thirty years old.

She is a concubine, and this kind of occasion has always been the presence of the main mother, and the concubine is to put it bluntly, she can't be elegant at all. But Yi Jingxiao's biological mother and the duchess of the Jingde Mansion went early, and the Jingde Duke did not continue the strings, and there must always be someone in the family who controls the inner house, so Fang Yuchun changed from a concubine to most of the Yi family's housewife, and took charge of everything of the housewife.

What displeased her the most was her son's identity.

His son is the eldest son, but he is the eldest son, even if he is older than Yi Jingxiao, but the identity of a concubine will cut off his way to the lord, Fang Yuchun is a person with heart and skill, she has been working hard for her son's duke position all these years.

Find a helpful family affair for Yi Jingyan, and then get rid of the current prince of Jingde, the third Yi Jingru is also a concubine, and his biological mother died early and was young, so it is not a threat at all, and the position of duke will naturally fall to Yi Jingyan at that time. Fang Yuchun crackled the abacus, and then asked Jingde Gong to say that he wanted to tell his son about his family, and held this chrysanthemum banquet.

Looking at Gu Xiangyi, who was not timid in the middle of the crowd, and then at his son, Fang Yuchun's heart tightened, and he quietly reached out and pinched Yi Jingyan, and scolded in a low voice: "What do you see! A concubine who can't get on the stage, do you still want to marry her?"

Naturally, you won't get married.

But it's the nature of heroes to love beauties, Yi Jingyan thinks that he is also a hero, right? Isn't it normal for people to see a rare beauty like the sixth girl of the Gu family and look twice?

But Yi Jingyan didn't say this, he knew that the direction he should work towards was the position of duke, and today's purpose was to choose the one who could bring him the most benefits to become his wife from among the noble girls who came, which would be the ladder to the road to the lordship, as for a beauty like Gu Xiangyi, it was good to be pleasing to the eye, but his status was too low, he wouldn't think about it, he would only look at it secretly.

On this occasion, Yi Jingxiao did not bring tea, because his mouth was too fast and he was prone to bad things, but he brought a calm Zen heart.

"Sixth girl, my family asked me to come over and ask, how is the injury?" Zen Jin came to Gu Xiangyi's side and asked in a low voice.

Although the movements were not obvious, they were still seen by Fu Zhirong and others, and they were all angry like wild dogs whose territory had been occupied, and they couldn't wait to rush up and press Gu Xiangyi to the ground and bite it.

Gu Xiangyi replied: "It's much better, with the wound medicine he took, now as long as you don't move, this left arm won't hurt." ”

"That's good. Chan Jin pondered for a moment: "When it's time to leave, the prince will tell Fang Niangzi that the girl he likes is you, you just have to reject the prince, don't care about his face." ”

In fact, letting others harm his own son like this, Chan Jin felt that he couldn't stand the son, but in order to make Fang Yuchun's plan fail, this was the only and necessary way.

Dodging this time, Fang Yuchun still has the next move to kill the prince, as long as the position of the prince is still on the son, Fang Yuchun will try his best to deal with him.

"I see. Gu Xiangyi said lightly, without any extra words.

She understands Yi Jingxiao better, this is also a way that is not a solution, relying on sacrificing face and reputation in exchange for a few years of purity. At that time, as long as he said that Gu Xiangyi would not marry, but he was rejected very miserably, then no one would force her to marry in recent years anyway, and Fang Yuchun would also relax his vigilance because he was obsessed with beauty and pleasure.

Jingde Gong is actually not a smart person, he has been fighting all the year round, he doesn't understand the twists and turns of the back house, several generations have been buried in the army, where do you understand how much the Fang family covets his son's position as the son? But he doesn't understand anything, and he trusts Fang Yuchun very much, which pushed Yi Jingxiao to the current situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger, and he has to rely on this method to get out.

In fact, Gu Xiangyi was a little suspicious, although this method escaped his marriage, it might bring danger to him.

Because if Duke Jingde unjustifiably ripped off his position as the son of the world, then only Yi Jingxiao would die, so that Yi Jingyan would attack the knighthood.

Gu Ruoyi looked at Gu Xiangyi, who walked to the side and sat down quietly, seemingly indisputable and light-hearted, her heart was as angry as a fire, and she walked to her side and said mercilessly: "I really didn't see it, you fox girl really deserves the skin that your mother gave you." ”

"Third sister, is this praising my sister for her beauty?" Gu Xiangyi pretended not to understand and asked with a smile.

The smile fell in the eyes of Su Jingci, who was not far away, just like the warm sun in March, blowing the ice on the lake and the branches and buds on the willow trees.

He was also one of the invitations to the chrysanthemum banquet, but in fact, it was just a formality, and he was not interested in the girl of the Yi family.

Pei Yi was also invited, but Pei Yi's family was a marquis, although he was not as powerful as the duke, but he was also a famous nobleman in the court, so naturally he would not marry a concubine from the duke's mansion, so Gu Fei refused the post without thinking about it, but Su Jingci was reprimanded by his mother and was driven over to go through the motions.

The mother was anxious to hug her grandson, and said that Su Jingci was not too big or something, but in fact, Su Jingci had not yet reached his twenties, and in his own opinion, it would be no problem to wait for another five or six years to say goodbye. But what the mother thought in her mind was that she would not be able to serve her grandson in a few more years, and her son wanted to marry later, but she did not agree.
