Mannie is a beautiful big girl in her prime, but the melancholy at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows somewhat destroys her elegant shape of self-pity in the mirror, Qianqian's jade fingers crossed the dim and blurred hibiscus face in the bronze mirror, and she couldn't see her beautiful face clearly, and she threw her sleeves back on the back of the chair in frustration and sighed faintly.

This is the year and a few months she has spent in Donggong Nanyuan?

Since she was a child, she knew that she was a beauty, and there was no adult who had seen her who did not praise her, although she was a concubine, but she could handle everything in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, and tea, and even her father, who was not attentive in the backyard on weekdays, treated her differently. When she is older, she will understand, her father hopes that she can marry into the palace, and it is difficult to be a concubine, but it is also good to be a favored side concubine, isn't it?

said that it was a difficult situation for the scholar, but in fact, her mother from Qinglou taught her so many skills to master the body and mind of men, hoping that she could soar into the sky and raise her eyebrows in front of the sisters in the mansion brightly.

The seventh aunt who married the second master of General Lin lobbied her father more than once, wanting her to show her face in front of King Guangsi, but she refused, and her father asked her when and how did she answer?

'The prince's concubine or the prince, which one does the father think is more suitable for his grandson?' ’

Her goal has always been the crown prince alone.

Once, when she heard that the prince was going to Danqing Pavilion, she stayed in the tea shop opposite at five o'clock in the morning, ready to see with her own eyes what kind of person this prey she was going to conquer in the future.

Unexpectedly, she was the first person to be tempted.

Handsome as a god, cold as frost, noble and clear, the jade tree is in the wind, and no beautiful words are used on him.

She was twelve years old.

As long as it is a banquet for the queen mother in the palace, she tries her best not to fall once. She knows his whereabouts and preferences better than the brainless Cheng Wen and the crazy Chen Xiangxiang. He is good at Xiao, so she practices the piano. He doesn't love sweetness, and all the snacks she learns to make can stay fragrant and delicious without sugar. He is good at tea, and she only drinks this flavor. He loved sandalwood and lily the most, and she made them the most skillfully and brilliantly. He likes white, and there is no other color in her closet.

It's a pity that the identity of the concubine can't make him look at each other squarely, let alone remember her as a person. She could only guess which girl might be his concubine, and then try to befriend her in the hope of gaining a place in his backyard.

After five years of hard work, seeing that she was almost eighteen, she desperately persuaded her father to let her recommend herself to Chongxi, but her biological mother was so anxious that her hair was half gray, and the family only waited for the marriage edict from the county lord of Yuanyi.

She is a little unbelievable, even the eldest sister is not qualified to meet the county lord, is the wife she wants to please and step on in the future?

I feel a little tricky again, the county lord knows him better than anyone else, almost he brought it up single-handedly, and he has such an unattainable identity and family background.

Of course, it is more joyful, a wife who got married at the age of thirteen is almost impossible to give birth to an eldest son.

This is her chance!

However, for so many years, she has had no effect on the queen mother, and the queen mother has no intention of letting the prince make a side concubine. She spent a lot of money to get the news from the palace that the prince had never even been a palace maid, and he was dedicated to guarding the princess who had not yet reached the palace, and she was inseparable from her sleep night and night.

The crown princess who is praised by the world as 'virtuous, virtuous, filial and thrifty' is just a vulgar and jealous woman!

Her father finally asked her to marry, giving her two choices, either a concubine or a concubine, she knelt down in despair and begged her father to send her to the East Palace as a maiko in the palace, she believed that as long as the prince saw her, she would have a chance to get what she wanted.

For the first time, her father mercilessly laughed at her for not knowing the height of the sky, she was beautiful, but she was far inferior to the crown princess in her cardamom years, don't be delusional.

She didn't believe it, so she had to see it with her own eyes, and then her grandmother came over to persuade her to let her father agree, at the cost that she could no longer be surnamed An, nor was she the famous concubine of Uncle Wuling's family.

Her father sent her and nine other Maiko to the East Palace in the name of Princess Fangchen, and from that day on, she lived in Nanyuan, looking forward to the prince's triumph, looking forward to the prince watching her sing and dance, and expecting the prince to call her to bed.

The days passed like this, she didn't know when the prince returned with honor and silver but guarded the city gate and did not enter, she didn't know how the princess called the wind and rain in the palace, and she didn't know that their husband and wife were like glue and lacquer. Time seemed to be frozen in Nanyuan, except for the two groups of more than 20 chamberlains who did not smile or accept bribes and the chief manager of the Ming Court who guarded the door, they had never seen an outsider again! Girls from all kinds of backgrounds have gone from whispering about the prince from time to time to when they can leave the palace like palace maids, and gradually become a backwater.

Only she hasn't given up yet.

No, the chief manager of the Ming Court came to inform them that they would go to the banquet with the car on the Shangyuan Festival tomorrow.

She can finally show her beauty and dancing in front of the man she has loved for so long, and she must make the prince never forget her again!

But she is no longer an Jiu girl in the prime of her life, but a maiko Mannie in her twenties, and the delicate silver mirror has not been used for many years, and she can't see how much change has been on her face. The long-legged willow waist is still there, and the chest is much fuller, but I can't see it in winter, so it's better not to wear a middle coat under the dance suit? Or maybe the prince likes young and slender women?

***********************

The anxious Mannie and the other excited Maiko sat in a smooth and wide carriage and entered a strange place, where the carved beams were painted to the eye, more ornate and exquisite than the courtyard where Mrs. Mailing lived.

The dancers did not dare to make a sound, and Ren silently followed the attendants to different rooms.

They're not here to dance!

Many people are aware of what they may encounter in a moment, and their faces are different, some are relieved, some are happy, some are timid, and some are impassive.

She also felt scared, her feet were weak, she insisted on not flinching, only she walked towards the main room!

The moon-white soft smoke curtains, the delicate jade-white porcelain vessels, and the warm room, the faint fragrance of narcissus and the strong fragrance of lilies linger on the tip of the nose.

This is the prince's resting place?

She was trembling with happiness. deliberately stuffed a very heavy purse to the waiter who led the way, and lowered his voice excitedly, "This brother, ......may I ask who it is for a while?"

"Silence! Don't ask too much about your master. ”

The waiter did not return her purse, went to the side to extinguish the butter candle, left the dim and jumping glass red palace lamp in front of the bed, and placed the hot tea on the table on the small table at the head of the bed, before motioning her to go to bed and wait.

Mannie smelled the aroma of the top Yibin bird's tongue, her heart was like ice and snow turning into spring water, joy and shyness couldn't help but flow rapidly all over her body, and she was about to sit down, and was scolded by the waiter, "Remove the coat!" ”

Only then did she come back to her senses and remember that the prince was so clean, and hurriedly took off her cloak and coat and asked, "Where can I wash, I will be disrespectful to His Highness all the way." ”

Hearing this, the chamberlain glanced at her, "Don't go into the clean room, go and use the water over there." ”

Mannie saw that he was referring to a few pots of hot water bottles, and did not deny the word 'Your Highness', and her heart was a little more settled, and she thanked her, and walked with her baggage and money, ready to wash herself.

The chamberlain ignored her, pushed the door and went out to guard the door.

Mannie only wore **, wiped all parts of her body with warm water with high morale, secretly smeared lily incense on her neck sockets, ankles, and wrists, removed the hairpin ring, pulled a simple bun that could best set off the slender jade neck, and directly put on a light and attractive peach dance dress, leaning barefoot on the head of the bed, highlighting the waist and hip curves, and exposing her chest and arms.

While fiddling, he heard stumbling footsteps, and the man's voice was muffled, "Rest here tonight." "I think I'm not very drunk.

She felt a dazzling spark burst out in her heart, her body was involuntarily soft, her head leaned against the pillar to make a false sleep, and her belt was even more loose.

The sound of the man's footsteps went to the clean room, and the sound of water and the sound of clothes rubbing was intertwined, and after a while, she heard the sound of light and mixed footsteps out of the inner room, and only the heaviest one walked towards her step by step.

The man seemed to see her coquettishness, and chuckled lightly, seeming quite satisfied?

He leaned over and took a few sips from the teacup, and the strong aroma of wine combined with the aroma of tea seemed to have drunk her.

Mannie felt a little impatient, hesitant to open her eyes to serve him, and noticed that his hand was on her most proud waist, with loose clothes, and the lights went out, and the tall figure pressed her directly against the bed.

She is most familiar with the scent of sandalwood, plain white underwear, and a slender and toned body, she endures the pain and does everything she can, and indulges in his indulgence and presumptuous indulgence with satisfaction.

***********************

Yiqing invited Yuan Yi to the study, explaining that the court and Ming Fang had an emergency, and went in to serve Gu Ci to tidy up her clothes, looking at her happy little appearance, she smiled and stretched out her hand to scratch her nose, "Take it easy." ”

Gu Ci smiled shyly and diverted the topic, "What happened last night?" ”

"One of the Maiko who accompanied the guest this morning seems to have some hysteria, and Ming Ting has already dealt with it."

"Maiko?"

Gu Ci didn't expect Yuan Yi to be so considerate, the vast majority of the people who stayed overnight last night were young and vigorous men who were drinking and drinking, and many of them were still unmarried, of course, with their status, whether they were married or not did not affect sleeping with a cheap woman at all, but where did the East Palace find so many women to provide night services?

"It's all a gift from someone else to His Highness."

Gu Ci was shocked, she was used to going through each gift list, why had she never seen it?

"You have to look at the list, it is impossible to write it directly, and the person and the deed follow the gift into the door, which is naturally also a gift."

"Why didn't my brother tell me......"

Her pursed little mouth was scraped again.

"The big vinegar jar is afraid of overturning the small vinegar jar, right?"

“…… What happened to Maiki? ”

"When she woke up, she shouted and woke everyone up, and mentioned why she wasn't His Royal Highness last night, angered the Nine Emperor Princes, and when she was dragged out by the chamberlain, she claimed to be the Nine Girls of the Wuling Bo family."

“……”

Since Yuan Yi didn't tell her, then he should handle this kind of oolong matter by himself, anyway, she can't do it.

***********************

Yuan Yi, Ming Fang, and Ming Ting also talked about this matter in the study.

"It's really An's house?!"

"The subordinates have verified."

"Voluntarily naturalized?!" Yuan Yi felt very incredible.

After Ming Ting knew about this, he had already learned about her situation from the chamberlain of Shou Nanyuan, and replied: "It is said that the wearing is all high-quality, good at blending sandalwood and lily incense, on the first day, I had a bird's tongue, I love white clothes, I know how to cook, I don't eat sweet, I think it is all according to the words that His Highness ordered to pass out, specially adjusted." ”

"Wu Lingbo wants a lot. King Guangsi climbed to the Nine Emperors after he was abolished, and it seems that he is very dissatisfied with me, the crown prince. Yuan Yi picked the corners of his mouth and made a final decision, set the tone for this matter, and let the two of them deal with the rest.

Amani was pulled back to Wulingbo Mansion by a pony carriage in the East Palace, and then a post of apology was sent to the Nine Emperor Princes of Hongwen Pavilion, Yuan Yi deliberately carried Su Xi and Su wine to Hongwen Pavilion to drink with the aggrieved Nine Emperor Princes for a night, and then there was a quiet room Mannie in the corner room of the Nine Emperor Princes of Hongwen Pavilion.

The version that circulated quietly outside was even more fragrant and energetic - the Nine Emperor Princes got drunk and fell into the Qing Yi Yuan, and slept with a Maiko who volunteered to sleep, and the Maiko woke up in the morning to find that he had slept with the wrong person, and lost his innocence to die Mingzhi, and the Nine Emperor Princes were soft-hearted and saved, and asked if it was not a Maiko, but a girl from the Mailing Bo'an family, and felt that she was brave and dedicated to love, and also took pity on her ill-fated fate, and was willing to give her a place to shelter and let her keep festivals for her beloved.

Except for the fact that Maiko wants to sleep with her husband, Gu Ci thinks this script is quite satisfying!

As for the Nine Emperors' filial piety and can't have sex, Gu Yi will be unhappy, and Wu Lingbo has a Maiko daughter who climbs the bed ** and is very embarrassed, etc., it is not bad news.

Nowadays, the system is not so perverted, it is not three years Ding Wei is one year, and the reason is legitimate, you can take the initiative to apply for love, of course, applying for Ding Wei to express filial piety is still a necessary superficial article. There are only taboos such as 'no colorful clothes, no imperial examinations, no marriage, different rooms (at least don't get children), no celebrations, no New Year's celebrations, and no New Year's celebrations.

So it's no problem to invite the Nine Emperor Princes to a banquet in the East Palace, it's no problem to send him a woman**, it's not a big deal for the Nine Emperor Princes to have a little affair with a woman, and it can even be said that the death of Concubine Du has no clear purpose, and it can't be regarded as filial piety.

The most humiliating thing is only the An family who has gotten rid of it, even if Wu Lingbo now claims that this daughter has already left the clan, it is also the once famous An Jiu girl!

***********************

After Gu Yi heard about it, she was full of resentment, and she forced the fourth lady to let her live in Zhuangzi by committing suicide, otherwise she, the crown princess of the Nine Emperor Emperors, would not react at all like a dead person, and she would not be laughed to death by the people in Beijing!

The fourth lady reluctantly agreed, and sent her daughter away with tears in her eyes, but as soon as Gu Yi left the house, she took a golden hairpin and asked the coachman to hand over a letter to her nursing brother.

The coachman accepted the things with bright eyes, sent them to Zhuangzi, immediately turned his horse's head and returned to Beijing, did not go back to the Baron's Mansion first, took a turn in front of Gu Wenkai's room in the fifth room, received another reward, and got the letter back, before going to find Gu Yi's grandmother brother who had broken his left leg because he was hacked by the people in the casino, got the third share of silver, and hummed a little song to return home.

After a while, the little vinegar jar who was appeased by the prince saw the note handed in by Xie Ran in the small study of the East Palace, "I want to meet the prince privately"!

Yuan Yi beside her was as stunned as her, "...... You said before that she probably knew what was going on? ”

"Well, but I don't know which version of yours it is."

Yuan Yi was a little confused, twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while before he understood what she meant that what Gu Yi knew might be the future of the present world, or it could be his previous life, but it had nothing to do with Gu Ci's life. It seems that it is necessary to meet, he didn't follow Yiqing's advice before, because he knew that the little girl would definitely not agree with her soft-heartedness, but if she did threaten her after seeing it, he didn't mind killing her on the spot.

Gu Ci tugged at his sleeve and looked at him with some concern, "I know that the fifth sister is a trouble and it is difficult to deal with, but I always feel that the crime is not to death......"

"Baby, what are you worried about?"

“…… I've been wondering, is it because someone really wants that Ah Luan in the past to live, so I came here before......" Gu Ci felt that his logic collapsed and the words were not up to his senses, so he had to change his words, "The Buddha once said, 'One flower and one world, one smile and one dust', there are three thousand worlds in the world, and we can meet across thousands of years, how difficult it is!" Yiqing and Fifth Sister are also people with similar opportunities, maybe there is a providence in the dark, so it's better not to hurt your life. ”

This statement made Yuan Yi feel empowered, he has always been worried that the little girl Hui will be extremely blessed, who knows if her Su Hui is the cause of the Yiqing in the previous life, so that she has the fruit of this life? But then he denied it, if there is cause and effect, it will also be on him, and it has nothing to do with Yiqing!

Since Gu Yi can't be killed, then he has to find a way to make her honest.

Yuan Yi, who had made up his mind, changed the topic in order not to worry Gu Ci, "How do I remember that the next sentence of 'One Flower One World' is 'One Leaf One Come'?" ”

"Huh?! I remember four sentences...... "Gu Ci saw that his face was relaxed, and he knew that he had responded to his request, and he began to amuse him."

"Two more to hear?"

"Eat a big bowl, sleep all day!"

***********************

Since the prince was ready to meet, it was naturally very fast.

The day before February, Gu Yi received news from his brother that the prince temporarily replaced the unwell princess to Sichun Winery this morning to check the brewing of new wine, and there happened to be a batch of grain to be transported from the fourth lady's village.

In the name of the princess's sister, Gu Yi entered the winery smoothly and 'met' the prince who was about to leave. After her outstanding performance of 'wisdom and bravery', she finally broke through the guards' 'defense line' and successfully handed out a small note with half a sentence, which was the honor of being interviewed.

Bai Zhou gave the office study to the prince and Gu Yi, Gan Ming brought tea, scratched the 'shameless little bitch', and retreated, Gu Yi secretly hated in his heart, but he put on a calm and breezy look on his face, waiting for the prince to speak first.

Who knew that the prince didn't care, he didn't even glance at her, took a sip of new wine, and began to write opinions with a pen, without any intention of opening his mouth at all.

"Your Highness is really calm."

"Lone is not a woman."

Gu Yi was choked, obviously saying that she was delaying time to be alone with her brother-in-law and didn't care about fame.

"If you let Sister Luan know......"

"Xiao Jiu doesn't mind."

Gu Yi's blood pressure soared again, and the prince was confident that he could coax Gu Ci, but she was not married yet!

"It's the people's daughter who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, please forgive your highness." After all, she can bend and stretch, Gu Yi lowered her head first, "The people's daughter does have a very confidential matter to report to His Highness." The sentence I just showed to His Highness was...... Pulse case. She pointed to the sky with a cryptic point.

"I don't know that Miss Gu knows medicine."

"The folk girl doesn't know how to heal, but the folk girl knows more than this, and can even predict the time, I wonder if the prince is interested in this?"

"Conditions?"

Gu Yi was a little undecided, she had calculated various possibilities before, and Concubine Du's backhand must be to take the prince's life and let Yuan Nian take the throne and carry the black cauldron. She will let the prince take her out now, if Yuan Nian's hope is completely ruined, then she can only marry the prince as a side concubine; If the prince still fails, she will be even more unlucky. If she doesn't ask for help, no one else can help her clear the suspicion of murdering the prince, and after Yuan Nian succeeds, the Gu family will not care if she lives or dies, she is just as unlucky; If Yuan Nian fails, even if the suspect is the Nine Emperor Princesses, he will not be able to escape death. If she doesn't ask for the prince, who else can she ask for?!

You can't carry the black pot no matter what!

"Please also ask His Royal Highness to help me clear my suspicions, I have not conspired with Concubine Du for any personal purposes."

"Divorce?"

“…… Imperial Family ......"

Gu Yi looked at the prince who was always indifferent with his eyebrows lowered, knowing that if he didn't say anything about breaking off the relationship with Yuan Nian today, the other party didn't plan to help her. Anyway, history has changed a lot, so it's better for her to rewrite the back by herself, as long as she is the queen, does it matter which one is the emperor?

“…… My marriage is up to Your Highness! ”

"When?"

Gu Yi, who had made a decision, was even more combative, "Why don't Your Highness allow another family affair?" I know everything, I can't say anything! ”

"Who?"

Rao is Gu Yi prides herself on being a modern woman, and she can't help but be a little embarrassed to recommend herself as a junior, especially since the prince has never looked at her directly, and her expression is as emotionless as an ant, she stabilized her mind and slowly spoke with trained speech skills, "...... In the 36th year of Sejong, in the summer, in July, Jiachen, the emperor was very ill, and he was lying down with hundreds of bureaucrats......"

She stopped.

Yuan Yi's eyes showed disgust, drooped his eyelids to hide his disdain, got up and threw his sleeves to leave.

Gu Yi couldn't get any positive feedback, so he had to quickly read out the following sentence, "...... Ding Wei, vomiting several liters of blood, entrusted to the lonely Taifu, collapsed in the Jinluan Palace. ”

Yuan Yi didn't stop, pushed the door and walked out.

Gu Yi immediately caught up, seeing that he was about to open the door of the study, he said softly with tears, "Please ...... Your Highness pities ......"

Yuan Yi said in a cold voice, "What do you mean? ”

“…… I, I want to be under Ah Luan......"

Yuan Yi was furious and threw down a sentence, "You are also worthy?" Disgusting! "Push the door open.

Gu Yi was ashamed and angry, hid his face and went out, but he was terrified to find that Gu Ci, who was not far away, was being held in the arms of the prince, only to hear the prince explain a few words in a hurry, and the angry and disgusting gazes of several guards around her and the undisguised shameful laughter made her embarrassed, and she wanted to die headlonging!

A guard with a loud voice whispered, "This look, it's really disgusting, our Highness" was clearly heard by her.

She roared angrily and ashamedly, "I have told the truth, why did the prince trample on my little woman? ”

Gu Ci's delicate voice directly retorted, "People are cheap, and people are cheap." You should explain to His Highness the Ninth why you have to come here to have a private chat with my brother. ”

Gu Yi, who was shocked by the thunder, stiffened and turned his head, and a tall figure slowly walked out under the shade of the tree on the side of the study door, and Yuan Nian, who was covered with frost, ignored her and took away the guards.

Yuan Yi didn't even pay attention to Yuan Nian's younger brother, hugged his wife into the carriage, and roared away.

The servants of the winery approached at this time, led by Gan Ming, and the trembling Azure ran from behind them, helping Gu Yi, who was like a mournful woman, and walked to his carriage crying.

Gu Yi's face was purple and he asked angrily, "...... Why is he here......

"Your Royal Highness, I have explained, Wei Xue, if you go out of Zhuangzi, let him know, he has something to ask, ......"

“…… When did it arrive? ”

"...... a moment before you come out"

Just when she recommended herself for a pillow seat?!

Gu Yi's eyes rolled and he fainted.
