Chapter 2: Knowing the "Truth"
Early in the morning, Xia Nanyue changed into the silk skirt prepared by the pothos last night and wanted to go shopping on the street, but she hadn't been back for four years, and the capital in her memory was already blurred. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Gu Moyan, who was leaning on the pillar and waiting for Xia Nanyue, saw Xia Nanyue's eyes light up, and the four words Chu Chu moved appeared in his mind.
In the harsh environment of the frontier, Xia Nanyue has always worn plain clothes, and her combed hair is also fluttering in the wind, or she simply holds her hair, although these can't cover her beautiful face, but today she is like a beating elf, and like a naughty angel, bright and beautiful.
Yulan pushed Xia Nanyue: "Miss, you see, Mo Yan's son is fascinated by you." β
Gu Moyan came back to his senses, a smile hooked up on his lips, and said: "Yes, this person, he just has to rely on clothes, change clothes, comb makeup, and immediately be different, I just thought I was dazzled." β
Xia Nanyue ignored this compliment, and took his hand directly: "Let's go, presumably the eyes are no longer spent." Pothos, Magnolia and Xiaoliu happily followed.
Various comments on the master who walked hand in hand in front: "It's a good match." β
"Yes, Miss is so beautiful, and, did you find it, their clothes are similar in color, and they really match perfectly."
Gu Moyan held Xia Nanyue's hand tightly, leaned over, and whispered in her ear: "Did you hear it, after you became beautiful, they said that you were a good match, you looked at you before, you were not worthy of me, let alone worthy of anyone else, others looked down on you." β
Xia Nanyue screwed Gu Moyan's palm with her hand, and glared at him fiercely: "Arrogance also has to have a bottom line, Gu Mo-Yan." β
When she came to the largest street in the capital, Xia Nanyue had been completely absorbed by this prosperous street, like a child, look here, look at that.
"Wow, that's pretty, Miss, look at it."
Xia Nanyue looked at Magnolia's fingers, and saw a chic attic surrounded by flowers and trees, two beautiful maids waiting at the door, and the people who came and went looked like they were all rich and noble, all wearing cold silk satin. Xia Nanyue looked up, and the three words of Qingshui Pavilion came into view, what is this Qingshui Pavilion for, it can attract so many powerful people.
"It's such a coincidence that I saw Gu Gongzi again." A word interrupted Xia Nanyue's thoughts, her eyes were clear, and a delicate and elegant face appeared in front of her.
Mingmei did not shy away from it, but met Xia Nanyue's gaze, and then asked, "Is this your friend?" β
Although Princess Yining is Xia Nanyue's sister-in-law and Mingmei's cousin, it stands to reason that Xia Nanyue and Mingmei should know each other, but their fathers have little contact with each other, and Xia Zhongnan is upright and unwilling to form gangs with court officials, plus Xia Nanyue has followed her father to the frontier and the capital since she was seven years old, even if she met a few times on the wedding day, she has long forgotten it.
Gu Moyan hesitated for a while, Mingmei and himself were not very familiar, but why did he feel that Mingmei was so enthusiastic today, could it be because of Yue'er, suppressed the question in his heart, and responded lightly: "Yes." β
Mingmeiwaner: "Then since you're at the door, why don't you go in and sit?" β
Xia Nanyue always felt that this woman was not simple, and she also wanted to go in to see what kind of place this was, so she immediately smiled at Mingmei: "Since this young lady said it, Mo Yan, let's go in and sit down." β
Mingmei smiled meaningfully, then took a step back, stretched out her hand and said please.
Gu Moyan always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and instinctively grabbed Xia Nanyue's hand.
Walking into this light water pavilion, Xia Nanyue quickly looked at this place, it seemed to be an art pavilion, and there was a stage for people to play in front of many carefully arranged seats.
Brightly and familiarly, he greeted many people in the pavilion, and led Gu Moyan straight through the side ladder behind a tent and went up to the second floor with a better line of sight. "Gu Gongzi, I don't know what your friend's name is, don't you want to introduce me?"
Xia Nanyue, who was looking at this attic, smiled: "Oh, I forgot to introduce, my name is Xia Nanyue." β
"Oh~ General Xia's daughter?"
"Exactly."
After being silent for a long time, Mingmei also brought Gu Moyan into a very clean cubicle on the second floor, facing the gorgeous stage, which could keep the good scenery in the building under his eyes. The decoration of the compartment is very exquisite, the cups and saucers on the table are very right, and before Gu Moyan could say thank you, she looked at Xia Nanyue who was still carefully looking at the environment, and said with a smile: "Don't you want to know my name?" Could it be that Gu Gongzi has already introduced me to you? β
Gu Moyan's lips were tightly closed, it seems that Mingmei really has a plan for Yue'er, but she is both good-looking, and her status is the daughter of the Minghou Mansion, what can she want?
Xia Nanyue smiled, shook her head, and said, "I don't know about you. β
"You don't want to know?"
Gu Moyan couldn't interject any words anymore, but his brain was quickly searching for bits and pieces about Mingmei and Xia Nanyue, but he didn't find any clues that the two people were connected to each other, could it be the festival between the General's Mansion and the Minghou Mansion? In the past few years, the generals have been on the frontier, and the Ming Marquis Mansion has become increasingly powerful because of the identity of the favorite concubine of the Ming Guifei, and there is no intersection between the two.
Xia Nanyue's eyes were always on Gu Moyan, she glanced at the brightness on the right side, and said a little apologetically, "I don't want to know." β
"Oh? Why? "Bright and unexpected.
"It's nothing, I'm easy to cause trouble, for someone like you in the officialdom, a powerful person in the shopping mall, I don't know the best, more things are better than less things." Xia Nanyue's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, but it still revealed a child's innocence.
The maid behind Mingmei just wanted to say that there was no one in her eyes, but she saw her master Mingmei laughing, as if she didn't mind at all, so she swallowed the words back.
"She is worthy of being the daughter of Princess Gu Yue." Mingmei showed an impeccable smile, but her eyes without a hint of a smile betrayed her unhappy mood. This Xia Nanyue is a little different from what is described in the intelligence, how can she be said to be a brainless and naΓ―ve woman with a good appearance, when I see it today, she really deserves to be the daughter of Princess Gu Yue, with sharp teeth and generous. Princess Gu Yue used to be the most outstanding woman in Dongxiang Country, with both courage and wisdom, and finally because the lord of Dongxiang Country and her relatives returned to obedience, she became the strategist of General Xia Zhongnan, and sat firmly on the title of the first female marshal in the frontier, but can her daughter be as good as her.
After hearing this, Xia Nanyue nodded lightly to Mingmei: "It's over." β
Luluo looked at her master like a lady, and quickly exchanged shocked eyes with Yulan, and then looked at Gu Moyan and spread her hands helplessly, it turned out that not only did she not know, but even Gu Gongzi didn't know that Miss had this side.
Mingmei poured two cups of tea for Gu Moyan and Xia Nanyue with her own hands, and after a change of words, she chattered: "Dare to ask Miss Xia and Gu Gongzi if they are going to buy clothes, right?" β
Gu Moyan was confused by Mingmei's question, and blurted out: "No, just go around casually, why do you buy clothes?" β
Mingmei smiled embarrassedly, she was really shy and moving, and if she changed to other men, she would definitely fall down in this charm, but Gu Moyan's heart could no longer accommodate a second woman now, but his intuition told him that there must be some amazing secret behind this smile, and sure enough, Mingmei said unhurriedly: "That must be Princess Gu Yue's ready, this is very important after all, and you can rest assured by doing it yourself." β
Gu Moyan suddenly thought that Princess Gu Yue said to herself yesterday that she would know in the future, could it be that what Mingmei said was the reason why the general's family was in a hurry to return to the capital?
Xia Nanyue frowned: "What else does my mother need to do?" β
Mingmei pretended to be incredulous and said in surprise: "You don't know, do you?" You will soon become the princess of Chen, almost everyone in the capital knows, the emperor has approved the wedding of King Chen to be scheduled for the ninth day of the next month a month ago. β
"Impossible, how could our young lady," the pothos blurted out in a hurry.
Xia Nanyue interrupted the conversation, stretched out her hand to let the green pothos help her up, and left in a hurry without even saying goodbye.
Gu Moyan said: "Farewell." "I chased him out with Xiaoliu.
Mingmei looked at Xia Nanyue and Gu Moyan walking on the street from the window, and smiled proudly.
"Miss, why don't you ~~" When the words came to his mouth, the cuckoo felt a little inappropriate, so he closed his mouth in time.
Mingmei didn't take it, leaned down slightly, put down the teacup, and then walked to the window where the handrail was leaning against the street, looked at the crowd coming and going downstairs and said: "Since I was a child, what I heard the most was the deeds of Princess Gu Yue, how to help their king govern the small country in Dongxiang, and finally married General Xia and guarded the frontier together after returning to Shun, I often wonder if I lived with her in the same time, did I do better than her." Speaking of this, he turned around and looked at Du Juan and Shiyu with burning eyes, "I don't want to be Gu Yue's second, her daughter must also be very good, Xia Nanyue's appearance will only make me better, and I have the qualifications to be my opponent so far." β
"What about King Chen?" Shiyu asked in a low voice.
Mingmei tugged at the corner of her mouth on the right side, stretched out a hand, Du Juan leaned over and handed the teacup to her, took a sip before saying: "King Chen, I'm not worried, because I'm not his side concubine, by the way, I ordered to go down and pay attention to the movements of the General's Mansion these days." β
"Yes."
Mingguang looked at the sun hanging in the sky, this point, it should be back.
On the muddy path in the east of the capital, a group of people rode horses and rushed past, hurriedly stepping into this majestic capital, only to see them stop at the gate of the general's mansion, just dismount and hurriedly walked to the house, in the middle of the summer, with the solemnity of the general, facing Gu Yue who came to greet him, his tired face was a little soft, and before he could say a few words, he saw his baby daughter listlessly walked into the house.
Gu Yue and Xia Zhongnan looked at each other, Xia Nanyue slowly stepped forward, did not have any joy at her father's return, nor did she greet him, but stared into his eyes and asked, "Who is King Chen?" β
Xia Zhongnan sighed, Gu Moyan also looked at Xia Changyu, whose face was slightly ugly, the air instantly condensed into ice, and the air pressure was very low, Gu Yue knew that this scene would appear sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, and ordered: "Wang Ma, Liu Si, take the general to the bath, Nanyue, you follow me to the study." Changyu, you and Mo Yan should also go back to the room to rest. β
