Since Ah Qi entered the Gu Mansion, there are always people who mention it in her ears from time to time, this is all fate, and sometimes Ah Qi will have an illusion, is it really unequal between people?

But Ah Qi will not chase this answer to the death, if it is, then she is the one who is not favored by God, if not, she can't change anything, that will only make her more sad.

However, all this was seen by Aunt Sun, who was standing in the distance.

"Eh, it's just you," After a while, Ah Qi was stopped by Aunt Sun, who was standing on the other side of the corridor, to make sure that Aunt Sun was looking in her direction, and there was no one around.

Ah Qicai pointed to himself suspiciously, "Me? She didn't know why Aunt Sun suddenly called her, and she didn't know why she was so unlucky today?

"Yes, come with me," Aunt Sun nodded at her, with a kind expression.

"Okay." Ah Qi responded and walked over, but he just followed Aunt Sun quietly and walked all the way.

After walking for a while, Aunt Sun spoke, "Was it difficult for the princess just now?" Then Aunt Sun followed up and said, "The saint is such a princess, she has no mother since she was a child, she can't help but love a little more, she was raised by the queen, and she can be regarded as her own, she has been pampered since she was a child, and her temperament is arrogant, but fortunately, she is not a bad heart, don't forget to go in your heart, if you feel wronged..."

Later, Ah Qi learned that this princess is called Jingyi, Xiao Jingyi, is the only princess of the Nandu Dynasty today, and the maidservant girl behind her is called Xiang'er, her mother died in childbirth, and she didn't even have time to look at her, and when she talked to her, she lost her breath, and the person who killed her mother was the queen mother who had been raising her, and she had been thinking about the seventh son of the Gu family, named Gu Nantian.

Before Aunt Sun could finish speaking, Ah Qi said, "The slave doesn't feel wronged, it was the slave who said the wrong thing and collided with the princess,"

When Aunt Sun heard Ah Qi's words behind her, she couldn't help but look back at her more, her eyes showed a look of satisfaction, and she said unexpectedly, "You are sensible, just wait here, I will call you if necessary,"

Ah Qi stood in the corner, looked around, and realized that he had followed Aunt Sun all the way through the corridor to the garden of the Gu Mansion, where there was more laughter and laughter.

"Aunt Xie Sun," Ah Qi knew that she was helping her, maybe she also felt that she was really wronged by that slap, so she helped her, wanting her to stand in front of people, at least not to make herself look so low.

"Yes." Then Aunt Sun left and went to the old lady's side.

Ah Qi is a person who is easy to be satisfied, so the days in the house have been very quiet, quietly doing what she should do, quietly doing what others tell her, she also wants to be quiet all the time, she also thinks that at least she will be quiet, after all, she has not harmed anyone, and she has not done anything wrong, and she is already so pitiful, God should be reluctant to punish her, after all, she has done it to keep herself transparent and not noticed.

But who knows, her fault was doomed from the beginning, God never favored her for a moment, and her suffering ended from the beginning.

"Grandma!" When I raised my eyes, I saw Xiao Jingyi trotting towards the most lively part of the crowd, and as soon as I saw her figure, the group of ladies and ladies of the family who surrounded Old Madam Gu scattered one by one, made way for her, and saluted one after another, "I've seen the princess,"

Xiao Jingyi nodded lightly at them, then straightened her body, made a regular salute, and said with a bright smile, "I wish grandma good health and a smile forever!" ”

Then the girl behind her stepped forward and handed over a carefully prepared gift, which was a thousand-year-old ginseng and some precious and rare medicinal materials, which was very intimate.

Old Madam Gu also smiled, squinted at the little girl in front of her, and said, "It's Jingyi, come here, come over to grandma, let grandma take a good look," Old Madam Gu patted the empty seat on her seat and motioned for her to come forward and join her.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyi stepped forward and sat beside Old Madam Gu with an affectionate expression.

Old Madam Gu looked at the little girl in front of her carefully, she hadn't seen her for a long time, she had really grown up, and said with a kind face, "It's so beautiful, it's really getting more and more beautiful,"

Xiao Jingyi lowered her head, smiled shallowly, and said with pride and joy in her eyes, "Grandma always makes fun of me,"

Xiao Jingyi, our only princess in Nandu, everyone says that she is the most beautiful woman in Nandu, there is no one, and she is also the most noble woman, I really want to know what kind of person her future husband is?

Old Madam Gu just smiled, as if she remembered something, and continued, "You're about to become an adult, right?" ”

"Well, next month is my birthday, what gift does grandma plan to give me," Xiao Jingyi looked like a child, and said very coquettishly, "I don't want it ordinary!" ”

Old Madam Gu looked at Xiao Jingyi's pouting mouth, touched her little face, and said with a smile, "I know, grandma must prepare it for you, it must be the best, so as to be worthy of the first princess of our southern capital,"

When Xiao Jingyi heard this, she stuck her whole body on Mrs. Gu's body and said, "I know that grandma loves me the most," like a very satisfying child who is coquettish to adults.

"Princesses are about to grow up, and they love to be coquettish so much, like a child, but how can they do it?" There was a person in the crowd who joked that looking at the clothes, he should also be a person with noble status, and yes, which person present is not noble?

Gu Mansion has been glorious for generations, inherited for thousands of years, it is everyone in the Southern Capital, it is a place that everyone is eager to enter, in addition to the royal family, the people who want to climb the most, even the maid of Gu Mansion, out of the house, is also an existence that will be invisibly superior.

"I'm a child in front of my grandmother, and I'm going to stick to my grandma for the rest of my life," Xiao Jingyi also said unrelentingly, with a smile on her face, obviously they were all jokes and acquaintances, so she didn't feel arrogant or angry.

"How does this work?" Another person also said like this, "The princess wants to stick to the old lady for the rest of his life, I think I can only simply marry into the Gu Mansion and become the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, so I can naturally accompany the old lady and make the old lady happy every day, is the princess willing?" ”

Xiao Jingyi lowered her head, her face flushed slightly, and she said in a slurred voice, "If it... I... Naturally, I am also willing,"

"Tut, you see, our little princess is really big, she can't keep it, and she wants to get married," the lady who took the lead just now said jokingly to the people next to her, "There is more than one son in the Gu Mansion, and the old lady has many grandchildren, and I don't know which one our princess likes?" ”

The other sang a double reed along with him, and said, "Isn't it the Gu family... The Seventh Son? "It seems to be a clear look, and it's not a big secret.

Xiao Jingyi's face became more and more red, and she lowered her head and looked like a daughter's house, as if she had been poked by someone and the silent thoughts hidden in her heart, and said angrily, "If you make fun of me again, this princess will be angry,"

So, those people looked at her shy, smiled, and stopped talking, saying that Mrs. Gu patted her hand intimately and said, "Go play, it's boring to accompany me as an old man, go and play with your brothers,"

Xiao Jingyi answered, and then got up and left that place.

Ah Qi looked at her figure and thought in his heart, what kind of talent is worthy of the peerlessness and dignity of this princess?

Ah Qi looked at Xiao Jingyi with an innocent smile on her face, and the scene full of joy, she couldn't help but start thinking, do you have a family too? Where is it now? It would be nice if she could be with her family instead of herself, she would not be spoiled at will, and she would not be willful, but... Ah Qi was not so lucky.

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,"
