87_87437Prince Rui and Guo Chengsi both looked at Jiang Chuqing's immature and slender back in silence, and she followed Ziqiao step by step. Although there was a little snow drifting in the verandah, it was a little slippery, but every step she took was very attentive and very calm, as if she would never make a mistake again.

Prince Rui was fascinated by this, and his eyes shimmered with some obscure light, as if he was caught in some kind of memory. Through Jiang Chuqing's back, he seemed to see another girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, and it was also like this, step by step, calmly out of his life.

Guo Chengsi suddenly smiled brightly and said, "Actually, we don't have to worry about this girl at all. She can be so ruthless to herself, what kind of difficulties will she not be able to overcome? ”

"Yes! has a heart that is so ruthless to himself, what difficulties can't be overcome? Prince Rui muttered.

Guo Chengsi glanced at Prince Rui strangely, and an illusion arose in his heart, as if what the two were talking about was not the same person.

I saw that the figures of the three girls had disappeared after turning a corner. Prince Rui and Guo Chenghei slowly walked out of the door side by side. Stepping on the squeaky snow on the ground, Guo Chengsi suddenly asked: "I remember listening to my mother's chatter a few days ago, someone saved a big medium for you in front of the Queen Mother, and it seems that it is Miss Jiang's sister, the second lady in Jiang's mansion." Is this true? ”

Prince Rui sighed and said, "Your news is well-informed, I only heard the queen mother mention it when I entered the palace last time, but I didn't expect it to make so many people care." ”

Guo Chengsi smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter for us to be concerned, it's nothing more than a few small words. But I'm afraid that someone will take care of you, and I can't do anything about you, so I will harm other people's innocent little girls. ”

Prince Rui's heart moved, he turned his head sideways, his eyes were fixed on Guo Chenghe, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, and asked: "What do you mean, someone doesn't want me to marry Jiang Fu, so today's game is set?" ”

"I don't think I'm far from ten." Guo Chengsi casually pinched down a handful of cold snow from the branches, and slowly pinched it into a round snowball in his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "Think about it, if there is really news that the third lady of the Jiang Mansion broke into the bathroom privately today, intending to seduce Prince Rui, can you still discuss the family affair with the second miss of the Jiang Mansion?" Take 10,000 steps back and say, if you see this girl, you really accept her. But with her identity, she can only be your concubine, which is completely inconsistent with the original intention of the Jiang family to marry you. ”

Prince Rui frowned, and said with a surprised expression: "But I have no plans to marry Jiang Fu in the first place?" ”

Guo Chengsi was stunned, and he said in surprise: "But how can I hear my mother say that the Queen Mother is in a good mood these days, saying that Prince Rui is finally willing to marry, and she wants to go to the Taimiao Temple to burn incense and tell Emperor Sù first." ”

Only then did Prince Rui recall that day when he asked for peace in Cining Palace, and by the way, he once again rejected the family affairs that the Queen Mother had sought for himself. The Queen Mother covered her heart and only shouted pain, and blamed herself vigorously, saying that she was sorry for the first emperor. Although he knew that this was the queen mother's usual means to control herself, Prince Kerui still didn't dare to stimulate her too much, so he vaguely dropped the word "renegotiate". He thought that after a while, he would casually find a reason to break the Queen Mother's thoughts. Unexpectedly, not only did the Queen Mother take it seriously, but also some villains hiding in the shadows took it seriously.

Thinking of this, a ridiculous thought suddenly appeared in Prince Rui's heart. Since some people are so reluctant to marry Jiang Fu, they can simply push the boat along the river and let things develop like this, which can just relieve their current predicament.

At this time, Guo Chengsi patted Prince Rui on the shoulder, laughed and said, "Let's go!" Don't think about it so much. Whether you want to marry the Jiang Mansion or not, we can't sit back and watch an innocent woman be wronged. ”

Prince Rui looked slightly sideways into the distance, and his eyes flickered, as if he had made up some kind of determination

Passing through the verandah, the palace maids and maids who came and went gradually increased, and a little palace maid saw Zi Qiao, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Sister Ziqiao, the eldest princess has asked you several times, go and talk back!" ”

Zi Qiao said gently: "It's good, I'll go when I send Miss Jiang Shangshu to the warm pavilion." ”

Ziqiao led Jiang Chuqing to the door of the Warm Pavilion on the side of the Qingyin Pavilion, and there were six or seven maids from various mansions outside the Warm Pavilion at the moment, they sat under the front eaves of the Warm Pavilion in twos and threes and whispered and laughed, and when they saw the arrival of Jiang Chuqing's master and servant, they were strangely quiet. Jiang Chuqing's heart sank, and sure enough, as Guo Chengsi predicted, the rumors had begun to spread everywhere.

After Ziqiao stood at the door of the warm pavilion, she said to her, "Please Miss Jiang go in and rest for a while, I will go back to the eldest princess first, and then come to look for you." After speaking, she quietly winked at Jiang Chuqing.

Jiang Chuqing nodded gratefully, and Ziqiao retreated first. Jiang Chuqing took a deep breath, and when Cui'er stepped forward and opened the cotton curtain with red and gold ruyi patterns, Jiang Chuqing walked in without hesitation.

The moment Jiang Chuqing stepped in, the coquettish laughter that had been coming from time to time in the room immediately stopped. Jiang Chuqing also saw the situation inside clearly. There were about fifteen or sixteen people in it, seven of them were dressed as young girls from various provinces, and the rest were the maids they brought.

There were two older ones, sitting under the window of the warm pavilion, and three younger ones, holding small sticks around a huge cloisonné porcelain jar, grinning and teasing the dozen and a half inch koi inside. The other two sat on the kang and drank tea and chatted. They all thought it was too noisy outside, so they hid here.

After a moment of silence, the two people who were playing chess in front of the window didn't even raise their heads, but one of the girls with apricot eyes and peach cheeks who was originally drinking tea on the kang stood up and saluted, and then asked, "Forgive me for being clumsy, may I ask which lady are you?" ”

Jiang Chuqing smiled, bent her knees slightly, saluted and said, "I am the third girl in the Jiang Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, and my name is Chuqing. Dare to ask Miss Yes" Although her face was as usual, her heart was pounding like a drum.

To her surprise, there was no disdain or surprise on the girl's face. She just said suspiciously: "I am the fourth girl of the Changxing Hou family, and my name is Mingxiu." It's an old acquaintance with the second girl of your Jiang Mansion, Xue'er, you are her sister, why have I never seen it? ”

Looking at the attitude of this fourth lady of the Changxing Houjia family, Jiang Chuqing knew that the rumors were only spreading among the maids and slaves outside, and they had not yet entered the ears of these ladies in the warm pavilion, and she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in her heart. hurriedly replied: "It's the first time I've come out as a guest with my mother-in-law and second sister, so it's not surprising that the fourth lady doesn't know me." In her words, she has already pointed out the identity of her concubine.

"I see." The fourth lady of Changxing Houjia's face immediately became a little pale, she no longer spoke, but held the arm of the maid next to her, turned around and returned to the kang to sit down. However, her reaction is also normal, it has always been different from each other, and Miss Chang and Miss Shu in each house are used to intriguing. In addition, Mingxiu himself is from a prominent background, so he naturally will not look down on Miss Shude in Beppu.

Jiang Chuqing didn't care, she didn't take the initiative to approach these high-ranking ladies as before, but walked leisurely to the bookshelf, took out a blue book, sat on an embroidery pier and read it with relish.

Cui'er stood quietly behind her. It's just that Cui'er's heart is a little astringent, and she feels that the young lady in front of her seems to have taken off her original innocence and childishness in an instant, and has grown up quickly. I don't know if it's good or bad.

The two girls, who were playing chess in front of the window, looked at each other and sneered. Sitting on the left, the girl with deep facial features, a slender body, and fair skin. The bright star-like eyes were staring tightly on the chessboard, and there was a sunspot between the index and middle fingers that was about to fall, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "It's not humble or arrogant." ”

The woman sitting across from her was thin and thin, with a slender neck as graceful as a swan. Her expression was quite cold, she just played with a few white seeds in her hand, and said impatiently: "It's really strange! Is she humble or overbearing, and what does it have to do with you and me? You should play your chess with peace of mind! ”

After a while, the big red and gold Ruyi cotton curtain at the door was lifted again, and a young lady wearing a silver fox vest, about twelve or thirteen years old, walked in quickly like a whirlwind. She went straight to Mingxiu, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, pulled her sleeves, and said with a twitter: "I know that the fourth sister, you love to hide here, I sue you, there is a big joke outside." ”

Jiang Chuqing only felt suffocated in her heart, and her hand turning the book stopped. She smiled wryly and thought that the time had finally come
