The early morning of August is the freshest time of the day, because the sun is too poisonous on weekdays, and Xiao Jinxuan, who is reading in the room, also takes advantage of this time to go to the yard, water the flowers and grass, and move her muscles.

Xiao Jinxuan has lived in Meizhuang since she was a child, and she often works, so she has honed her good body bones, and she was not as squeamish as other women in her previous life, and she rarely had a headache and brain fever.

Now that she is a human being in two lives, she pays more attention to exercising and maintains this habit.

Just when she opened her arms, closed her eyes lightly, and was breathing, suddenly a burst of laughter like a silver bell came, and then Xiao Jinxuan was hugged from behind.

Xiao Jinxuan was taken aback, and before she could turn around and see the person clearly, Xiangping's voice that had not been heard for a long time rang in her ears.

"Jinxuan, what are you doing in this courtyard, I didn't even notice when I came in, I miss you when I return to the palace, seeing that you live so leisurely, you must have forgotten me."

Listening to Xiangping's chattering voice, Xiao Jinxuan smiled, kindly grabbed the other party's hand around her waist, and then leaned her head on Xiangping's body, and said with a light smile:

"I wanted to forget about you, a ghost, but now that you're sticking to me again, you've come early in the morning, is there anything wrong with me?"

stayed in the house for three days in a row, although Xiao Jinxuan was quiet, but the summer was hot, and she would be bored if she stayed for a long time, so Xiangping could come to accompany her, and Xiao Jinxuan was also very happy in her heart.

At this time, Xiao Jinxuan pulled away Xiangping's hand and turned to look at the other party, but when she saw that Xiangping was not from herself, and there was another acquaintance standing next to her.

Immediately, she hurriedly apologized and said: "Isn't this Miss Gu, she was just stopped by the princess and hugged by the waist, just to have fun, but she didn't see the distinguished guest coming to the door, Jinxuan was rude, and I hope that Sister Gu will not blame." ”

Hearing this, Gu Qingge, who was standing beside Xiangping and wearing a green mandarin duck skirt, smiled shyly, and then said crampedly:

"Miss Jinxuan, don't say that, farewell to the golden study that day, Qingge came uninvited today, I hope I didn't cause trouble to my sister."

Gu Qingge's small family is Jasper, and she speaks softly, plus she talks decently and advances and retreats to a certain extent, although there is only one side, Xiao Jinxuan's impression of her is excellent.

Therefore, seeing Xiao Jinxuan's easy-going smile, she stepped forward and gently grabbed Gu Qingge's wrist.

"Xiangping blames you for it, you just came to my Forsythia Courtyard by yourself, since you brought Miss Gu here, why didn't you inform me in advance, now I haven't prepared anything, and it's rude for me to be so angry."

When Xiangping heard this, a pair of big eyes immediately laughed into a crescent moon, and then said indifferently:

"Jinxuan, don't be polite, Sister Qingge is not an outsider, you may not know it, I am cousins with her, Sister Qingge's mother is the wife of Master Gu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Mrs. Gu and my mother are half-sisters, so Mrs. Gu is my aunt, they are all my own family, those are false etiquette and clichés, let's not hold on to them."

Xiao Jinxuan, who was still smiling lightly, stiffened her expression after hearing this, but she had always been moody, so she only returned to normal in an instant, but her eyes quietly glanced at Gu Qingge.

Xiao Jinxuan will behave in such a strange way, mainly because she finally remembers who this Miss Gu family is.

I remember that when she first met Qian Yingluo in Yangzhou, the other party spoke to Zhou Xianyu because she was jealous and hated her, so she made it difficult for her in every way.

At that time, Xiao Jinxuan remembered the two poor women who were retaliated against by Qian Yingluo because of their love for Zhou Xianyu in their previous life, and died tragically.

One of them is the first prostitute in Jingshi, and the other is Gu Qingge, the daughter of the head of the household!

Originally, this fact had been sealed in the dust for too long, and even if Xiao Jinxuan had seen the Gu family brothers and sisters, she hadn't remembered this incident.

It wasn't until Xiangping said that the other party and Concubine Liang were relatives just now, which reminded Xiao Jinxuan that after Gu Qingge's death in the previous life, Huayang personally knelt in front of Concubine Liang to plead guilty in order to protect his beloved daughter, because this matter involved a princess and concubine, so it left a deep impression in her mind, which made Xiao Jinxuan recognize Gu Qingge.

Thinking of this Gu Qingge, in her previous life, she even paid the price of her life in order to confide in her heart, Xiao Jinxuan sighed in her heart, and couldn't help but secretly look at each other twice.

But then, when she remembered that the person she admired on the other party was Zhou Xianyu, somehow, Xiao Jinxuan's heart felt so bored that she even looked lonely.

Just when she was thinking about her thoughts, Xiangping patted her lightly, and then said with a smile:

"Jinxuan, in fact, I came today to invite my sister-in-law Wenqing to join you and go to the Rui Wang's Mansion to listen to the drama and enjoy the flowers, I think this person is very lively, so I called Sister Qingge too, you quickly pack up, the carriage is waiting outside the gate of the Shuai Mansion, and when you are dressed up, we will leave immediately."

As soon as she heard this, Xiao Jinxuan was stunned, Princess Rui Shen, she naturally still had an impression, but the two of them did not have a deep relationship, the other party was good, why should they invite her.

But before Xiao Jinxuan could think about it, Xiangping, the anxious princess, pulled her up and ran into the room, and urged her non-stop.

Therefore, she didn't even use the kung fu of half a pillar of incense, Xiao Jinxuan was already dressed, and then she was pulled by Xiangping, and then trotted out of the house.

After a few quarters of an hour's effort, Xiangping's ** princess carriage stopped in front of King Rui's mansion.

After getting out of the carriage, Xiang Ping walked around his mansion, led Xiao Jinxuan and the two to the garden, and then saw the stage, listening chairs, melons, fruits and tea had been prepared.

Shen Wenqing was even standing in the garden, directing his subordinates to arrange a banquet.

As soon as he saw Shen Wenqing, Xiangping cheered and ran straight to the other party, obviously the two had a good relationship, and they were very close.

After Shen Wenqing said a few words to Xiangping, she looked at Xiao Jinxuan with a soft gaze, and then nodded kindly.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly walked a few steps, and when she came closer, she greeted this Rui princess with a respectful and decent salute.

But before her knees could bend down, Shen Wenqing chuckled and helped her up.

"Miss Jinxuan, it's not the first time we've seen each other, you came to Rui Wang's Mansion, just treat it as your own home, and save all the etiquette, so as not to thank you, and it seems to be raw."

Shen Wenqing has a dignified temperament and is approachable, so Xiao Jinxuan is not hypocritical, and immediately after thanking her, she omitted the etiquette and sat down directly on the chair in front of the stage.

At this time, Shen Wenqing saw Gu Qingge's existence, and then her brows wrinkled slightly, but then she still smiled and let this Miss Gu sit down on the chair.

Now that everyone is together, Shen Wenqing signaled that the play could start, and after the drama on the stage appeared on stage, she asked Xiangping who was sitting on her right in a low voice:

"You Nizi, didn't you say that you would invite Miss Jinxuan here, why did Qingge also call her."

Xiangping, who was drinking tea and eating snacks, heard this, and said nonchalantly:

"Didn't my sister-in-law say it, today my brother and Seventh Brother will come over to listen to the drama together, my cousin has loved Seventh Brother for so many years, don't you know about it, I'm also a good heart, looking for opportunities for Sister Qingge, maybe she has met with Seventh Brother more times, and the two can get married, then I can count it as a good thing, right!"

After listening to Xiangping's self-satisfied words, Shen Wenqing shook his head with a wry smile, and immediately turned his head to look at Xiao Jinxuan on the right side.

"Xiangping, Xiangping, you asked your sister-in-law to tell you what is good, you really did a foolish thing today. But forget it, Qingge has already come anyway, I hope nothing will happen for a while. ”

Shen Wenqing would be worried, and there was a reason for it, after all, three days ago, she was going to give Zhou Xianrui a snack to eat, but she inadvertently knew Zhou Xianyu's intentions for Xiao Jinxuan.

Therefore, in order to help the seventh brother solve the pain of lovesickness, and to give these two people a chance, she prepared today's drama banquet and invited Xiao Jinxuan over.

But where could she have expected that Xiangping actually brought Gu Qingge here, for this cousin who is seventeen years old but has not married yet, in fact, the entire upper echelons of the Beijing aristocracy know that she is because she loves the royal king, so she has been dragged into an old girl.

And Zhou Xianyu's temperament has always been free and uninhibited, and he does his own thing. Shen Wenqing was really worried that if the other party saw Xiao Jinxuan and made some exciting moves, then Gu Qingge's heart would probably be hurt a lot.

Shen Wenqing has a soft and kind temperament, so she can't bear it, just when she was worried alone and trying to figure out how to take Gu Qingge away, Zhou Xianyu's voice had already come from the courtyard gate.

"Fifth brother, it seems that we are still late to come back after the next court, the fifth sister-in-law has already performed the play here, let's hurry up and sit down, I have been standing in the court for a long time, I am tired."

When Zhou Xianyu spoke, his eyes kept staring, and he didn't look away from the purple back on the chair in front of the stage.

Hearing the familiar voice behind her, Xiao Jinxuan's expression remained unchanged and she didn't look back.

But if someone touches her at this time, then they will find that her whole body is now stiff, and a pair of plain hands are tightly clasped together, obviously Xiao Jinxuan is also nervous in her heart.

Zhou Xianyu and Xiao Jinxuan both remember each other in their hearts, but they can't show half of it because of their own concerns.

Compared with the complicated emotional entanglement between the two of them, in fact, there is another person now, and the level of tension in his heart is not at all, and this person is Gu Qingge, who involuntarily stood up after Zhou Xianyu entered the garden.

I saw this Miss Gu family, now her face was full of shame, and she looked at Zhou Xianyu with a pair of eyes obsessively.

After looking at it in a daze for a while, Gu Qingge lowered his head and smiled shyly, and then took out a small and delicate purse from his cuff with a shy look.

I saw that this purse was made of moon-white cloud brocade, embroidered with several golden orchids, and there were two small jade beads of mutton fat falling at the end, the whole purse was delicate and refined, elegant and exquisite, and it was made with great care at a glance.

Holding the purse in her hand, Gu Qingge felt that her face was hot like a fire, and her whole person was dizzy, but she still took a deep breath and walked towards Zhou Xianyu with courage.

When standing face to face with the person she liked, Gu Qingge looked at Zhou Xianyu who was three steps away, she felt that her heart was about to jump out, and her whole body trembled slightly because of excitement, but she still slowly handed the purse in her hand to the other party's eyes.

Then Gu Qingge was cramped and uneasy, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Imperial ...... Imperial ...... Your Highness, this is a gift from Qingge to you......"

Because of nervousness, Gu Qingge's words stammered, but she was full of expectations, and she hadn't finished a sentence yet.

After Zhou Xianyu glanced at her, he walked away from the other party directly, and then walked towards Xiao Jinxuan without looking at Gu Qingge for half a moment, without a little hesitation.
