I haven't been so lucky.

Xiao Jingyi really ran to the crowd on the other side of the garden.

Most of the people gathered there were men, the women's families chatting about their parents' shortcomings and making fun of themselves, and the men chatting about their ideals and ambitions.

But it's still the same, everyone saw Xiao Jingyi coming in this direction, and they also dispersed, of course, there are also people who make up, after all, this princess will be a coming-of-age ceremony next month, which means that when it is time to get married, everyone wants to get her favor, so as to add a greater boost to their family in the future.

However, most people are self-aware, and they know that her heart is not in them, so they don't force it, just stand aside and smile lowly, looking at the man who is standing still and motionless.

The man was dressed in white, with sword eyebrows and handsome eyes, his face was indifferent, looking at Xiao Jingyi who was walking towards her in the distance, his skirt was fluttering, and a bright yellow color came into his eyes, in this spring afternoon, he looked particularly delicate and moving, but his face has always maintained a faint appearance, as if he didn't care at all, and it seemed that he was born so unapproachable.

Xiao Jingyi walked to the man's side and shouted in a low voice, "Brother Nan," the voice was sweet, Rao is the look that anyone who hears it will be moved, her smile is a smile from the heart, bright and bright, simple and sincere, only for the man in front of him.

The man slowly took a step back, bowed to her, and said in a faint voice, "I've seen the princess," like giving someone a basin of cold water, Xiao Jingyi's face changed in a second, and it looked very aggrieved and distressing.

It can be said that the person who dares to treat us as the princess of the court like this, I am afraid that he is the only one who can not give a little face.

However, Xiao Jingyi didn't look angry at all, but looked a little out of place to flatter, took a step forward, held his arm, and said, "Brother Nan and I don't have to be so restrained, you can still call me 'Jingyi' as usual," It was still a sweet voice, a sweet smile, but there was a slight difference from just now, and his eyes were full of thin sadness.

The man finally raised his head, looked into her eyes, showed a faint smile, and responded, "Okay," which is considered a promise.

After all, I can't bear it, in front of such a simple person who admires himself.

Ah Qi heard the whispering in his ear, and knew that this man was the person Xiao Jingyi had admired since childhood, that is, Gu Nantan, the seventh son of the Gu Mansion, the youngest son of the Southern Capital City who is now the most concerned.

He and Xiao Jingyi are childhood sweethearts, and their relationship has always been very good, although Gu Nantian is a concubine, but fortunately, he has won the favor of the old lady since he was a child, and his mother also died early, fostered in the name of the third lady of the Gu family, and he is also a sister-in-law, and he is more noble and decent than a serious son-in-law, everyone thought that the two of them would be the most suitable pair, and they were waiting for the natural thing after His Majesty's marriage, but then Gu Nantian didn't know why, and was suddenly sent to Guanwai, and he went for three years. In the past three years, there have been a lot of large and small wars outside the pass, the most powerful one is a large army raid by the northern tribe a few months ago, and finally Gu Nantian was successfully settled, and because of this, His Majesty summoned him back to the southern capital, just when everyone thought that this young Seventh Prince of Gu Mansion had a bright future and climbed step by step, but found that His Majesty did not have any substantial reward, but only praised it verbally.

Not long after he came back, no one knows what happened to him in the three years outside the gate, but the sons and brothers who played well with him in the past have found that he has changed a lot, and he is always indifferent to people, with a serious and cold appearance, Xu is the army is like this, but what he can't figure out is why he became so alienated from this princess?

However, everyone is only guessing from the aspect of "the child is older", after all, three years ago, when Gu Nantian left Nandu, everyone was not so knowledgeable and sensible, including him, it was the same.

It's just such a small word "good", but Xiao Jingyi seemed to have obtained some precious jewels in the world, with a sweet smile and bent her eyebrows, regardless of his alienation from herself just now, she grabbed the arm of the man in front of her and said, "Brother Nan, next month will be my birthday,"

Gu Nantian may have been because of Xiao Jingyi's sudden approach, and subconsciously glanced at the hand holding his arm by the woman next to him with defensive eyes, but in the end he didn't say anything, let her hold herself, and said, "I know," the tone was still light.

Xiao Jingyi looked at Gu Nantian's eyes full of longing and expectation, and said, "What gift are you going to give me?" "I'm looking forward to him saying something different.

However, it was disappointing that Gu Nantian did not speak, Xiao Jingyi probably didn't want the atmosphere to be too embarrassing, and then continued to say to himself, "I don't want anything else, I just want Brother Nan to stay in Nandu all the time, just stay by my side," Xiao Jingyi said and unconsciously leaned on Gu Nantian's body, it was the person he was familiar with, but why did he suddenly change his appearance towards himself?

Xiao Jingyi is also full of incomprehension and deep doubts, but it doesn't matter.

Yes, it doesn't matter, she's always comforted herself. As long as it's Gu Nantian, it doesn't matter, who made him Gu Nantian.

Xiao Jingyi's love has always been confused, stubborn, stubborn and unwilling to give up, just like Ah Qi later, but Ah Qi didn't want to become such a person who lost himself, so Ah Qi chose to let go, as soon as this hand was released, Ah Qi could no longer have a complete self, and he no longer had a heart.

"En," Gu Nan leaned in response, his tone not as cold as just now.

"Brother Nan, did you agree? Then I'll tell my father when I go back, let him send you an errand so that you can stay in Nandu and stay by my side," Xiao Jingyi's face was overjoyed.

"Okay."

Xiao Jingyi, who was immersed in her own joy, didn't notice the person next to her, her frowning brows, and her thoughtful look.

"Brother Nan, you are not allowed to regret it, you will always be with me, only with me," Xiao Jingyi held Gu Nantian, as if she had the happiness of the whole world.

At this time, Xiao Jingyi was just blindly stubborn, and regarded it as an alienation caused by not being accustomed to strangeness after not seeing each other for a long time, after all, they hadn't seen each other for three years, and three years was a bit long, but it didn't matter, they still had a long, long time to get along slowly, this time, she would definitely not let him leave her for so far and for so long, they would have a lifetime in the future, they would be together for a lifetime, and they would definitely be together for a lifetime, so it really didn't matter, he took a step back, I will go further, there will always be a day when there is no way back.

Xiao Jingyi thought so, and always thought so, until later, she really forced him into a desperate situation step by step, just so that he could no longer resist himself and be able to look back at her, just one glance, he was already satisfied, for this look, Xiao Jingyi even gave up everything she had, including the original beauty of this relationship in her heart.

Such a good time, such a beautiful view, no one noticed, behind them someone clenched his fists, closely linked the fate of their group of people.

"Say hello to the old lady," as she spoke, another lady stepped forward, it seemed that she should be a little old, but the maintenance was excellent, and there were no traces of the rough years at all.

I saw her slowly walk in front of the old lady of Gu Mansion and said, "The concubine heard the old lady and liked to listen to music, so she specially invited a famous opera troupe in Nandu," her voice was thin, listening to her words and the direction she was looking at, not far away there were indeed some people wearing costumes and painting a group of people singing songs on the stage, and she continued, "But for the old lady, I specially lined up the drama for a long time, in order to wish the old lady a long life,"

Old Madam Gu replied, "You have a heart, please come up quickly," the smile was faint, and the tone was also faint, it shouldn't be that she particularly liked this person, but she was still happy for her heart.

I saw her wink at the close girl beside her, who received the instructions and said, "Yes, ma'am." ”

So the group of people who were waiting to sing the song also slowly appeared.

This lady is the wife of Gu Yanzhi, the big house of the Gu family, Lin Nianzhen, is the stepwife.

Gu Yanzhi's original partner was Mrs. Gu personally for him, but unfortunately he died early, not long after passing the door, he passed away, a year later, his aunt and wife, Lin Nianzhen, became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy, that is, the current eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Siyuan, the mother is expensive with her son, and it didn't take long for Lin Nianzhen to be corrected and became the serious lady of the big house.

It's just that everyone knows that she has a bad background, and before she became her aunt's wife, she was just a drama singer in the garden, because she sang very well, she was directly recruited by Gu Yan into the mansion as a side room, and she was very careful, plus because of her previous wife, so Mrs. Gu didn't like her very much, and the ladies in the other rooms of the Gu family didn't look down on her very much.

It's just that people don't care about this, they coax Gu Yanzhi happily and obediently, and they also manage all the affairs of the big house properly and in an orderly manner.

The sound of the opera came slowly, the sound was in the ears, babbling, but Ah Qi was also sleepy, and he didn't know what he was singing. Ah Qi looked at the group of ladies and ladies who were watching the play and listening to the music, attentive appearance, and whispered a few times from time to time, she really felt that she was really not suitable to stay here, she didn't feel that this play was wonderful at all, but the more boring she felt, maybe she really couldn't appreciate it, or maybe although it was spring, the sun was still big, she just wanted to find a place to rest for a while, take a good rest, and didn't want to watch the play anymore and didn't want to listen to the play.

However, Ah Qi still stood there, standing there as always, looking at them.

"Okay,"

I vaguely heard someone in the crowd shouting "Okay", thinking that it should be the end of the play, and then I remembered the applause and praise one after another.

Even Old Madam Gu, who had always been serious, softened her eyes at Lin Nianzhen a lot after watching this play, and said, "You have a heart," Old Madam Gu instructed a girl beside her, "Take them to receive the reward,"

"Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie," and they all left.

When one play falls, another play always has to be picked up, otherwise it will be broken, and how can a person's life be broken?

No, someone jumped out immediately and said, "My sister really has a heart, and she actually thought of inviting a group of theater to celebrate the old lady's birthday, but we couldn't think of it.

"Sister said that I was laughing, I just wanted to please the old lady," Lin Nianzhen just smiled and said, not making trouble or being angry, so that she was more generous, and continued, "Where can I compare with my sisters, let my sisters laugh, and don't dislike my sister's vulgar and simple good," and didn't forget to giggle a few times to show friendship.

That person is also a master who does not admit defeat, seeing that this stubble is not successful, so he changed it, and looked like he had just remembered something important, and said, "I just heard my master mention it a few days ago, saying that Siyuan is a good boy, smart and alert, and His Majesty also likes him very much, and intends to promote him,"

This lady is also surnamed Lin, but she is a young lady from a family, and her master is the current Lord Shangshu, surnamed Li, who has a son and a daughter, all of whom have grown up, and they all came together to participate in today's birthday banquet in Gufu.

Mrs. Shangshu said to Lin Nianzhen, "I don't know if there is a favorite person?" There was a look of pride in his eyes.

Lin Nianzhen really immediately lowered her eyes with her head held high, a little unnatural, but it was only a momentary thing, and replied calmly, "Not yet," This is actually a thorn in Lin Nianzhen's heart, although she is now the eldest lady of the Gu family, but she is not the original lady in the end, and she has no help from her mother's family, she always seems to be soft-spoken, and she is looked down upon everywhere, and her son will inevitably be implicated because of herself. It is inevitable that it will be compared everywhere, the Gu family is noble, and the sons and daughters are all outstanding, so that the ultimate thing to see is the mother's origin and their own talents.

Although Gu Siyuan is the eldest son of the Gu Mansion, he is far less noble than the sons of the other houses, and even the seventh son of the Gu family, Gu Nantian, is not at all inferior to him.

Lin Nianzhen continued, "What, which lady did my sister fall in love with, waiting to introduce us to Siyuan?" "I thought she might be really kind.

"Which family's young lady is not the most important, as long as she is born clean, after all, as a daughter-in-law, don't be a dirty thing that comes out of an unclean place," It's just that the people here, where will there be really good hearts waiting for people, the lady Shangshu seemed to jokingly said to the people around her, "I remember, the eldest lady sang a play, and was looked down upon by Gu Dashao, and accepted as the aunt's wife in the room. It's a lot of thought for the eldest lady to be able to take charge on her own," as if she had mentioned something terrible, she made a fuss and made a big fuss, and continued, "I'm afraid it won't be because I was born in a drama that I thought about this to please the old lady?" The tone was full of sarcasm.

Lin Nianzhen's hands clenching the handkerchief gradually clenched into fists, all hideous, and just as she wanted to open her mouth to refute something, she was stopped by Old Madam Gu's words.

I saw Mrs. Gu say, "Okay, today is my birthday, don't talk about something that I don't have, and make me unhappy," although the words were said to Mrs. Shangshu who was stirring up trouble, her eyes were looking at Lin Nianzhen.

"Yes, it's mine, it's not me, the old lady's happiness is the most important thing," the lady Shangshu hurriedly said with a smile, and when she lowered her head, her eyes were full of sarcasm and ridicule when she looked at Lin Nianzhen, as well as the pride after the conspiracy succeeded.

Old Madam Gu glanced at Lin Nianzhen and said, "You too, you've been busy for so long, you should be tired, go down and rest, don't wait in front of you," After speaking, she immediately turned her face away and looked at the scenery in another place, she didn't want to look at her anymore, she was ashamed, right?

"Yes, old lady, my daughter-in-law has retired."

Lin Nianzhen was full of unconvinced, but she could only give up, and left the scene in a huff, and when she left, she didn't forget to hit the lady Shangshu hard.

It's all her fault, she originally had a good time pleasing the old lady, and she thought that she could slowly change the relationship for the better and let her status in the Gu family rise a little, after all, everyone knows that these nephews of the Gu family are the most filial, and His Majesty also respects the cousin of the former emperor very much and treats each other politely.

It is a fact that if you win the favor of the old lady, you will win the favor of everyone.

Xiao Jingyi obviously felt the awkward atmosphere here, so she pulled Gu Nantian over with her. As soon as he came over, he put his arm around Mrs. Gu's neck, sat beside her, and said, "Grandma, who is this who upsets grandma?"

Gu Nantian followed and saluted, "Grandson Nantian has seen grandma,"

Old Madam Gu saw Gu Nantian and Xiao Jingyi smiling slightly, her face was kind, and she said, "It's Tan'er and Jingyi,"

Everyone knows that Gu Nantian is Mrs. Gu's favorite distressed grandson, and it is also the most reassuring one, in the three years that she went to Guanwai, Mrs. Gu can be said to be always strange, always sending people to send things and letters to the past, and he is also Xiao Jingyi's favorite man, and now he is the most concerned young talent in Nandu, with a bright future, and he is the person who is most likely to become the future head of the Gu family, plus he is handsome and very chic, I don't know how many women in Nandu have been intoxicated.
