Wen Xiaomiao probably slept in the middle of the night last night, and it was naturally late when she got up in the morning, and when she got up, Cheng Muan had already gone out to the court.

Ping'er was afraid that it would affect Wen Xiaomiao's lunch, so she prepared a small amount of exquisite breakfast for her, and Wen Xiaomiao came to the study after eating.

She took out Cheng Mu'an's "Ten Miles of Red Makeup", carefully spread it out, selected a suitable brush and began to copy, writing while carrying it, and half the morning passed unconsciously.

Wen Xiaomiao slept again at noon, she seems to be a little lazy recently, she doesn't like to move much, maybe it's too hot, this autumn tiger is really powerful.

Cheng Mu'an asked people to bring Xin'er back, he couldn't come back to eat at night if he had something to do, so Wen Xiaomiao didn't wait for him.

Wen Xiaomiao felt empty in her heart, and she was listless when she started to do things.

"Third lady, someone from the Gu Mansion is here to ask to see you." A family member came to report.

"Come in, please." Wen Xiaomiao guessed that Gu Shuting should have sent someone to find her.

After a while, a maid came in, and when she saw Wen Xiaomiao, she knocked on her blessing first.

"Miss Wen, my girl said that she hadn't seen her for a long time, and she missed her very much, and wanted to invite you to the mansion for a get-together, as for having a light meal in the Gu Mansion in the evening." The maid smiled, and two dimples appeared on her face.

"Very good, you go back to the house first, tell your girl, I'll be there later, Ping'er, let's go clean up now, go to see Sister Gu, it seems that Gu Gongzi has also sent a letter to the family." Wen Xiaomiao said happily.

"Miss Wen, the slave and maid have retired first." After the maid finished speaking, seeing that Wen Xiaomiao had no other instructions, she retreated.

Wen Xiaomiao packed up and went out happily, she hadn't walked out of the gate of Chengfu for a long time, and she was too lazy to move in the hot weather.

Steward Wang had already arranged the carriage and waited at the front door.

"Third Madam, if the third prince comes back, do you need to report to you?" Steward Wang asked.

Wen Xiaomiao thought for a moment and said, "No need, you tell Brother An, if I see Gu Gongzi, I will come back." Ping'er helped Wen Xiaomiao into the carriage, and put the gifts that were about to be given to Old Man Gu, Old Man Gu and Mrs. Gu, as well as Gu Shuting, one by one in the car, and then sat on the other side of the coachman.

"Steward Wang, go back, I won't be too late." Wen Xiaomiao lifted the curtain and waved her hand at Steward Wang.

"Third lady, be careful on the road." Steward Wang still sent two guards to follow Wen Xiaomiao to the Gu Mansion.

Steward Wang knew that Cheng Mu'an was very nervous about this third lady, and of course he couldn't take it lightly.

Wen Xiaomiao walked for less than half an hour before she came to Gu's mansion, she got out of the carriage and saw a maid standing at the gate.

When the maid saw Wen Xiaomiao coming, she led and Heping'er into the door with a bunch of gifts.

Old Man Gu was still sleeping, so Wen Xiaomiao went to visit Master Gu and Mrs. Gu first.

The second elder was enjoying the cool in the pavilion by the lotus pond.

As soon as Mrs. Gu saw Wen Xiaomiao, she pulled her to her side, looked her up and down, and said, "Xiaomiao, I haven't seen you for a few days, I'm getting more and more fresh, it's hot, come, drink a cup of herbal tea to sweat first." ”

"Madame has won the award, where is Xiao Miao comparable to Sister Gu, since the last banquet, there has been no suitable opportunity to come and visit, this is for the lord and madam," Wen Xiaomiao took out two brocade boxes from Ping'er's hand, one was a white jade pendant and handed it to Master Gu, and the other was a ruby golden hairpin, and gave it to Mrs. Gu, "A few days ago, Xiao Miao lived in Gu's mansion and disturbed me a lot, and I was very grateful. ”

"You kid, you're coming, and you're here with you." Mrs. Gu was disgusted.

"Xiao Miao didn't know what the old lady liked, so she thought about giving it to herself, and I hope you don't dislike it." Wen Xiaomiao said with a smile.

"Don't see each other like this in the future, Mu An, this child we have watched grow up since childhood, the old man likes it very much, you and Mu An will come often in the future, you don't need to bring anything, the old man is better than anything else when he sees you." Master Gu said.

"Yes, sir." Wen Xiaomiao nodded.

"Xiao Miao, you're here." Gu Shuting shouted from afar, followed by the maid Yue'er.

"Sister Gu." Wen Xiaomiao stood up and walked towards Gu Shuting with a smile.

"I haven't seen you in such a long time, weird thing, how are you?" Gu Shuting looked at Wen Xiaomiao's expression carefully, there have been some rumors in the capital in the past two days, and she doesn't know if the Dao is true or not.

Today, Gu Haojun told the family that the queen held a banquet tonight, and he and Cheng Muan were invited by the queen to the Ci'an Palace for a banquet, and if they didn't come back to eat at night, Gu Shuting couldn't help but want to go to Wen Xiaomiao.

Maybe Princess Taishun went around the corner to see Cheng Mu'an.

Before he could go out, he saw Old Man Gu, as soon as the old man heard that she was going to find Wen Xiaomiao, he simply asked her to order someone to find Wen Xiaomiao, and knew that Cheng Mansion would have Cheng Muan and Wen Xiaomiao, since Cheng Muan would not go back to the house to eat, let Wen Xiaomiao come and have a light meal in Gu Mansion.

Gu Shuting sent someone to invite Wen Xiaomiao.

Wen Xiaomiao's face was peaceful and calm, and it seemed that he was not affected by the rumors.

"I'm very good, but I'm a little stuffy, except for practicing dance, copying, reading, playing chess, there is nothing else to do, all the housework has been done by the next person, I want to be Brother An, I don't let it, I just have to eat and let people feed me." Wen Xiaomiao said with a smile.

Gu Shuting knew Wen Xiaomiao, what she said, and she was never deliberately showing off in front of her.

Wen Xiaomiao took a red square box from Ping'er's hand again.

"Sister Gu, this is for you." Wen Xiaomiao handed the red box to Gu Shuting.

Gu Shuting opened it and saw that it was a turquoise jade bracelet, green and blue, bright and crystalline, no oil or dry, no spots and no willows, with a smooth physique and a solid hue, she only needed to know at a glance that this bracelet was worth a lot of money, much more precious than the silver hairpin she gave to Wen Xiaomiao.

"That's a bit too expensive, isn't it?" Gu Shuting showed it to Mrs. Gu.

"Sister Gu's gift is more affectionate." Wen Xiaomiao pointed to the silver hairpin inlaid with blue-green glass on her head, which was a gift from Gu Shuting to her.

Gu Shuting still felt a little embarrassed to accept, but looking at Wen Xiaomiao's serious appearance, she accepted it first.

"Xiao Miao, let's go, let's go to my house to talk first, grandpa still has to sleep for a while." Gu Shuting pulled Wen Xiaomiao away, she was very curious about whether Wen Xiaomiao knew about this matter.

Gu Shuting instructed Yue'er to bring a plate of watermelon that had been cut in cold water, cut it into small pieces, and there were two small silver forks on the plate.

"Xiao Miao, Brother Cheng has been very busy lately, right? My eldest brother is often a dragon who doesn't see the end of the dragon. Gu Shuting said.

"Well, Brother An is also very busy." Wen Xiaomiao said.

"Will Brother Cheng often not return home?" Gu Shuting asked.

"Brother An usually comes back to eat with me as much as possible in the evening, and tonight seems to be the first time that he can't come back." Wen Xiaomiao tilted her head and thought about it, no matter how busy Cheng Mu'an was, he would basically go home for dinner at night.

"Xiao Miao, if Brother Cheng wants to marry another woman, what will happen to you? As long as he wants to, don't you care? Gu Shuting stared at Wen Xiaomiao tightly.

"Huh?" Wen Xiaomiao looked up at Gu Shuting, thinking to herself, Sister Gu, is this trying to ask her to help pull the strings? She felt very embarrassed, she really didn't want Cheng Muan to have other women around him to live with him.

Gu Shuting looked at Wen Xiaomiao, she really sweated for Wen Xiaomiao, she was familiar with Zhao Liangdi, she had heard a lot about Princess Taishun's deeds, she felt that if Princess Taishun passed the door, Wen Xiaomiao would not have a good life.

Although Cheng Mu'an will spoil Wen Xiaomiao, he can't guard her every day, Princess Taishun's palace fighting experience is far more than Wen Xiaomiao's, and the world's biggest emperor and queen support her as a backstage, Wen Xiaomiao is a little sheep to be slaughtered in front of Princess Taishun.

"I heard that Brother Cheng and my eldest brother were invited to the palace for a banquet tonight, and the queen set up a banquet." Gu Shuting said.

"Queen?" This was unexpected by Wen Xiaomiao, she thought it was the emperor.

Gu Shuting was a little conflicted, it seemed that Wen Xiaomiao didn't hear the rumors that Taishun was going to marry Cheng Mu'an, and she didn't want to tell Wen Xiaomiao, Wen Xiaomiao would only increase her troubles if she knew it, so let Cheng Mu'an solve this trouble by herself.

"Sister Gu has anything to say to me?" Wen Xiaomiao asked.

"It's nothing, let's eat watermelon." Gu Shuting hurriedly pushed the watermelon in front of Wen Xiaomiao's eyes.

"Who is Brother An going to marry, Princess Taishun?" Wen Xiaomiao looked at Gu Shuting, and there was inevitably a trace of helplessness in her eyes.

"You've heard about it? It's true? Brother Cheng agreed? Gu Shuting glared and asked in surprise, Wen Xiaomiao must not know Princess Taishun if she is so calm.

Wen Xiaomiao shook her head.

"I also think that Brother Cheng will not agree, he doesn't know Princess Taishun, if you marry Princess Taishun, you will marry an ancestor and go home, you have to withstand it, if you can't do it, you will cry, make trouble and hang yourself." Gu Shuting still looks a little bit like a lady now.

"Brother An hasn't mentioned this to me, I don't know what Lu Dao thinks, but no matter what Brother An decides, I won't object, do you think if Princess Taishun presses Brother An with a holy decree, if I object, it will only make him embarrassed, and the holy order will be difficult to disobey." Wen Xiaomiao felt that Cheng Mu'an would not accept Princess Taishun, but with the holy decree, he didn't count what he said.

"If you want to blame, you can only blame Brother Cheng for being too outstanding." Gu Shuting was anxious for Wen Xiaomiao.

"It's someone I choose, and whatever happens, I'm going to have to take it." Wen Xiaomiao also had no choice.

Ever since she heard the chat between the crown princess and Princess Taishun, her heart has been unstable, she deceived herself and didn't think about it, and she never asked Cheng Mu'an about it, but what should come will come.

"Yes, with your thoughts, you will definitely be bullied to death in the future." Gu Shuting looked like she hated iron but not steel, "However, don't be too anxious, filial piety comes first, and she will definitely not be able to enter the door during the filial piety period, so you can discuss it with Brother Cheng and think of a countermeasure." Gu Shuting said.

Wen Xiaomiao smiled bitterly, full of sourness.
