Everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Jinli, and they couldn't help frowning when they saw her so embarrassed.

The eldest lady glanced at Gu Jinxiu meaningfully, then put down her chopsticks, and said to Gu Jinli with a calm face with a cold face: "Jinxiu, when you were in the mansion, your mother always taught you to pay attention to etiquette and elegance at all times, you have only been in the Ning Wangfu for a few days, why did you even forget these?" ”

"How can you gobble up a meal like this?"

"Sister, no one is competing with you for food, you can be slow." Gu Jinxiu coughed lightly twice, also glanced at the rice spilled on the ground, and whispered, "Look, all the good rice has been wasted." ”

After everyone heard this, they instantly understood.

It turned out that the reason why the meal fell to the ground was caused by Gu Jinli's carelessness in scrambling for food......

Tsk, I really didn't see that this Miss Gu was so rude......

Now that Gu Jinli's identity has become well-known as "Gu Jinxiu", it is impossible to exchange her with Gu Jinxiu.

Therefore, Miss Gu's reputation doesn't matter.

If it can be destroyed, it will be destroyed......

In short, the eldest lady and Gu Jinxiu resolutely didn't want Gu Jinli to have a good life!

However, this time, that time.

In the past, Gu Jinli was merciful because she didn't want to deal with their mother and daughter, but now that Qi Hao is here, how can he let Gu Jinli lose face in front of so many people?

Squinting his eyes, he didn't miss the smug look in Gu Jinxiu's eyes just now, so his face sank, and his tone was unpleasant: "Mrs. Gu really likes to laugh, what kind of delicious food in my dignified Ning Palace." Don't have the delicacies of the mountains and seas? ”

"Although the food in this Xiangfu tastes good, it is really not so delicious that it makes Jinxiu to the point of grabbing food from others!"

Gu Huai listened, his face was embarrassed, and then he looked at the eldest lady and Gu Jinxiu.

The eldest lady and Gu Jinxiu didn't expect Qi Hao to really stand up for Gu Jinli, so they avoided Gu Huai's eyes and didn't speak.

In addition to the eldest lady, Gu Jinxiu, and Gu Jinli in the women's seat, there were Gu Jinyu and Gu Jinyao sitting, the fourth aunt was not in good health and did not attend, and the third aunt just fell into the pillow last night, so she also missed this great opportunity to attend the scene.

Gu Chengen didn't have to think about it to know that this time it must have been done by his mother and sister again!

The light in his eyes was slightly cold. His brow furrowed.

Gu Jinyu was already timid and shy, and when she saw so many people looking at this side, she couldn't wait to bury her head under the table.

Anyway, the person who deliberately spilled the rice on Gu Jinli was not Gu Jinyao this time, so she was happy to watch the play with chopsticks.

Qi Hao snorted coldly, then stood up, walked to Gu Jinli's side, and asked in a cold voice, "The food in Xiangfu is really better than Ning Wangfu's?" ”

Gu Jinli took the handkerchief to wipe her clothes, raised her eyes and chuckled: "What does the prince think?" ”

She knew that Qi Hao was giving herself a step, but even if the food in the Xiangfu was indeed not as delicious as Ning Wangfu, she was still a member of the Gu family. You can't say in front of so many people that the Prime Minister's Mansion is not good?

However, she was very smart and kicked the problem to Qi Hao.

And Qi Hao had already given an unceremonious answer just now, so Qi Hao didn't need to answer again.

The eldest lady had her back to Qi Hao, so she glanced at Gu Jinli fiercely, as if she was scolding her for turning her elbow out.

Qi Hao's eyes were stained with a smile, he stretched out his hand in front of her, and said in a deep voice: "Go, go back to the palace." ”

Gu Jinli was stunned, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Gu Huai.

Gu Huai was already unhappy because of this inexplicable emergency, and saw that Qi Hao wanted to leave directly with Gu Jinli. can't help but think that he is demolishing the stage.

Chen Zexuan smiled before Gu Huai spoke: "Lord Ning, this Gu Xiang's birthday banquet is not over yet, I am afraid that something is wrong for you and Concubine Gu to leave now, right?" ”

Qi Hao looked at Chen Zexuan, who suddenly jumped out, and said lightly: "Jinxiu has been sick for the past two days, since the wish for birthday has been delivered, why not take her back with this king?" ”

"Since you're sick, you can't toss back and forth." King Xuan smiled and said helpfully: "Xiangfu is Concubine Gu's home, and there will never be no place to rest." ”

Qi Hao's eyes glanced at Chen Zexuan and King Xuan, and he didn't bother to guess their purpose of taking the opportunity to entangle him.

With a sneer, he looked at Gu Jinli and repeated again: "Go, don't go?" ”

Gu Jinli looked at the slender hand stretched out in front of him, suddenly moved in his heart, and nodded, "Go." ”

Qi Hao listened, and the curvature of the corners of his lips gradually increased.

Hold her hand and scoop her into his arms the next moment.

Immediately after, everyone erupted in surprise.

Because, the next moment, Qi Hao actually hugged Gu Jinli.

"Wang ...... Rajah? Gu Jinli was startled and looked up at him in disbelief, but she could only see Qi Hao's angular chin.

"Jinxiu is tired, change the king of Japan and then accompany her back." Qi Hao nodded to Gu Huai, who was about to break out, and then disappeared from everyone's sight without saying a word.

"This ...... This Ning Wang Ye is too arrogant, right? At this point, one of the guests began to whisper.

"Isn't it, it's the birthday of our prime minister, since he's here, how can he just leave?"

"That's right, and that Miss Gu, it's really a married daughter, spilled water! So soon, my heart is towards King Ning! ”

"Hey, don't say it, look at King Ning just now, it's really not an ordinary favor for this concubine!"

……

Listening to the louder and louder discussions, Gu Huai clenched his fists, and an undercurrent crossed his old eyes.

Although he had thought of using Gu Jinli to bring down Qi Hao, this Qi Hao was really arrogant.

As the prime minister and the protagonist of today, he is so faceless, he is so disgusting!

"Gu Xiang is angry, the fourth brother has always been so unsightly, you don't want to be like him." King Xuan saw that Gu Xiang exuded an aura of dissatisfaction. He hurriedly added a fire at the right time.

Gu Huai flicked his sleeves, sat down again, and reluctantly raised his glass and said, "Come, the old man is here again to thank you for your face!" ”

"Gu Xiang is polite!" King Xuan took the lead in raising his glass, which caused the next round of staggering.

On the other side, Gu Jinxiu hadn't recovered from the shock of Qi Hao leaving with Gu Jinli in his arms.

The eldest lady pushed her with her arm and frowned, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Jinxiu pursed her lips, her hand hidden under the table tore the handkerchief hard, and said unwillingly: "Mother, why is she living satisfactorily now, but I am ......"

"Okay, I'll talk about it later." The eldest lady saw that Gu Jinyao pricked up her ears and seemed to be eavesdropping, so she stopped Gu Jinxiu's words in time.

Gu Jinxiu bit her lip and said in a muffled voice, "Mother, I'm full, I'm going back to my room to rest." ”

With that, she left the flower hall without waiting for the permission of the eldest lady.

"...... Jin" The eldest lady just wanted to stand up and grab Gu Jinxiu, but she caught a glimpse of Gu Chengen in the men's seat, and couldn't help but change her face.

Because of the intimacy between Qi Hao and Gu Jinli today, Gu Chengen's heart has been hurt at this time.

is the so-called borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, so he poured a cup of sake into his throat for the reason of blocking wine for Gu Huai.

Everyone saw that Gu Chengen had a good amount of wine, so they all began to pour him in one go, and he did not refuse to come, and the whole person seemed to be dying, which was rare to lose his temper.

The eldest lady is a woman, so naturally she can't go to a table where a bunch of men are sitting to persuade Gu Chengen, so she can only give Gu Huai a look.

However, Gu Huai was too far away and didn't see the hint of the eldest lady at all.

Fortunately, King Xuan saw that Gu Chengen was almost drunk, so he blocked everyone back.

After Gu Jinxiu walked out of the hall, she kicked the stones under her feet with her head and cursed Gu Jinli in her mouth, not noticing that there was an obscene person behind her.

"Ahh There was suddenly a pair of big hands on her waist, and just when she didn't react, she was dragged to the corner of the wall by covering her mouth.

"Woo...... Put...... Let me go! Gu Jinxiu saw that it was her cousin Jiang Yuansheng, and the anger in her heart was even heavier, and she tried to open her mouth to bite him while fluttering wildly.

But Jiang Yuansheng looked thin and weak, but his strength was still greater than Gu Jinxiu's.

As if he had been prepared, he directly stuffed the rag strip into Gu Jinxiu's mouth, and then tied her hands behind her back with one hand, and began to wander restlessly with the other.

"In the early years, I heard that my uncle's second cousin who was secretly raised outside was as beautiful as a fairy, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name!" Jiang Yuansheng didn't know that the person in front of him was his own cousin Gu Jinxiu, but he only thought that she was Gu Jinli, an illegitimate daughter, so his lust became bigger, and his courage became bigger and bigger.

After saying that, he opened his big mouth that smelled of wine and gnawed Gu Jinxiu's fair face.

Even though Gu Jinxiu has rarely interacted with this unsuccessful cousin of the Guogong Mansion over the years, she has heard of many unbearable deeds about him, so she looks down on him the most.

In a hurry, she raised her foot and kicked Jiang Yuansheng's lifeline hard.

Sure enough, Jiang Yuansheng screamed in pain and let go of Gu Jinxiu.

Gu Jinxiu pushed Jiang Yuansheng and raised his foot to make up for a few kicks on his legs. Angry: "Stinky rascal, I'll let you despise me!" ”

Jiang Yuansheng covered his crotch while dodging angrily: "What do you think you are?" A despicable country woman who can't get on the stage, does she really think she's a daughter? ”

After the identity was reversed, she lost the dignity of the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion that she had been proud of before, which has always been a scar in Gu Jinxiu's heart.

Now that he heard Jiang Yuansheng poking his old wounds so unscrupulously, the fire in Gu Jinxiu's heart burned more and more vigorously, so he started more ruthlessly.

"Stop!" With a loud shout, the eldest lady appeared in front of the two of them with a face like frost: "What are you doing?" ”

"Mother, he wanted to bully me just now!" Gu Jinxiu saw that the eldest lady was coming, and she was more confident in her momentum, pointed at Jiang Yuansheng, and said angrily.

"Auntie, this is talking nonsense!" How could Jiang Yuansheng admit that he had molested Gu Jinxiu just now, so he reversed black and white and said: "I was walking so well just now, but she suddenly came out of nowhere, and she was about to stick to me when she hugged me, and she couldn't shake it off!" ”

"If you don't know the shame, you dare to beat me? is so vulgar, it's really not a lady who has been raised in our prime minister's house since childhood! ”

For this nephew, of course, the eldest lady also understands his temperament.

Hearing his words again, he immediately understood that Jiang Yuansheng must have thought that Gu Jinxiu was Gu Jinli, so he dared to attack her boldly......

Taking a deep breath, the eldest lady pulled Gu Jinxiu behind her, stepped forward, and reprimanded Jiang Yuansheng in a cold voice: "No matter who is right or wrong, how can you be a man with your daughter's family?" ”

"Jin...... Your second cousin beat you and beat you, how strong can a girl have? ”

Seeing that the eldest lady avoided the important and only mentioned Gu Jinxiu's beating, Jiang Yuansheng shouted unhappily: "Auntie, she almost kicked me just now, I lost my son and grandson, this matter can't be just forgotten!" ”

The eldest lady waved her hand and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, you hurry back to the flower hall, don't be here endlessly!" ”

"Let others see, what kind of system will it become?"

Even if Jiang Yuansheng really wanted to correct Gu Jinxiu on the spot, how could he say that the eldest lady was an elder, and he couldn't be too presumptuous in front of her.

Pouting, he squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Jinxiu, "You, wait for Young Master Ben!" ”

Listening to Jiang Yuansheng's warning tone, Gu Jinxiu's newly reduced flame ignited again, "You ......"

"Shut up!" The eldest lady in order to protect Gu Jinxiu. Only told a limited number of people about the swap of identities by surrogacy, if you continue to yell here and keep going on endlessly, then this matter will definitely be exposed!

Therefore, it is the most important thing to send Jiang Yuansheng away now.

"Hmph, aunt, you are the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you must take the time to discipline this ugly girl, don't let her lose the face of our Prime Minister's Mansion again!" After that, Jiang Yuansheng began to "ouch ouch" again.

Jiang Yuansheng's mouthful of "our prime minister's house" made the eldest lady feel a chill in her heart. So Pi Xiaorou didn't smile and said, "Well, my aunt knows." ”

Proudly raised his eyebrows at Gu Jinxiu, and Jiang Yuansheng left satisfied.

"Mother!" Looking at Jiang Yuansheng's back, Gu Jinxiu stomped his foot angrily.

"Okay, mother knows that it's your cousin's fault, but you also have to think about it, he doesn't know your identity, he must have taken you for that little slut." The eldest lady sighed, patted Gu Jinxiu's shoulder, and comforted: "Those who don't know are not guilty, you can forgive him." ”

"Mother, as soon as the slut left, my cousin came out to bully me, is this too much of a coincidence?" Gu Jinxiu's eyes rolled, and she gritted her teeth and said, "My cousin must have been instructed by her, this slut!" ”

The eldest lady said "um", feeling that what Gu Jinxiu said was also reasonable.

After all, when she was at the dinner table, Gu Jinxiu deliberately slapped Gu Jinli over her rice bowl when she was serving dinner, and Jiang Yuansheng didn't know that Gu Jinli and Gu Jinxiu had changed identities, and if Gu Jinli retaliated because of this, there would be nothing wrong with it.

Squinting her eyes, the eldest lady said quietly: "It's okay, there are so many women in King Ning's mansion, and she is also comfortable!" ”

"I wish it would be as Mother said!" Gu Jinxiu muttered a sentence and followed the eldest lady back to Bihua Courtyard.

After the eldest lady and Gu Jinxiu left, a figure in Tsing Yi walked out from behind the bamboo forest on the side.

King Xuan couldn't help frowning when he thought about Gu Jinxiu's hateful expression just now, and compared it with the gentle and delicate when he interacted with him in private.

Thinking of Gu Jinli's overturned rice bowl again, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

On the other side, Qi Hao carried Gu Jinli all the way out of the flower hall, causing the people passing by in the courtyard to be stunned.

Gu Jinli couldn't bear everyone's gossipy gaze, so she could only face Qi Hao's chest.

She had persuaded him to put himself down, but he said that she had a leg injury and that it was too abrasive and a waste of time to walk.

Therefore, after several objections to no avail, she could only let him go.

Listening to Qi Hao's steady and powerful heartbeat, Gu Jinli's face suddenly turned red.

Actually, it didn't seem that she should have followed him so willfully and left halfway just now.

The clothes are dirty, it's a big deal to go back to the glass courtyard to change, how can you just leave without care?

After all, it was Gu Huai's birthday banquet, and so many people came, it seemed too capricious to do it by himself......

However, when she saw him stretch out his hand, she didn't know why, so she agreed.

Probably, she was tired of this kind of hypocritical and contrived occasion for a long time, and subconsciously wanted to escape, right?

And Qi Hao is giving her a chance to leave......

Pursing her lips, she unconsciously looked up at Qi Hao.

As if feeling Gu Jinli's gaze, Qi Hao slowed down his steps and looked down at her: "What, regret it?" ”

Gu Jinli was puzzled and asked, "What do you regret?" ”

"I regret that I followed this king." Qi Hao pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Do you know how your father will think of you when you leave?" ”

Gu Jinli's eyes moved slightly, and then lowered her eyes.

Yes, my father seems to be gentle and elegant, but he is thoughtful, so there should be a misunderstanding, right?

Seeing that Gu Jinli didn't speak, Qi Hao hugged her hand tightly, and then walked faster.

"Lord Wang." When he arrived at the carriage, Du Jiang hurriedly opened the curtain for Qi Hao.

As soon as the two got into the carriage, the coachman raised his whip. With a "drive", the carriage began to drive in the direction of Ning Wangfu.

The banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion continued, and even if no one persuaded him to drink anymore, Gu Chengen was still drinking alone.

His vision had begun to blur, but his head was very clear.

To be precise, my mind is full of pictures of Qi Hao and Gu Jinli.

They went to the banquet hand in hand, she bowed to him, he carried her away, and it was very likely that something happened in the backyard that he couldn't accept......

The more he thought about it, the more Gu Chengen felt an indescribable sense of frustration.

A few days ago, he almost succeeded. I was almost able to keep Gu Jinli by my side, but unfortunately it was destroyed by Qi Hao!

Looking at Gu Jinli's attitude towards Qi Hao today, it seems that it is really different from before......

Could it be ...... Is she really in love with Qi Hao?

Reading Qi Hao's name in his heart, his eyes were cold and faint, with a hint of murderous intent.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was actually not far from Ning Wang's Mansion, but after Gu Jinli got into the carriage, it didn't take long for her to fall asleep relying on the soft collapse.

Maybe it was too early today, or maybe some of the anesthetic mixed with the trauma medicine had an effect, and I saw her make an even breathing sound.

After reading the secret letter he had just received in his hand, Qi Hao pondered the reason why Yushu, the lord of Nanyang Wang, came to Beijing.

It stands to reason that if she wants to come, she should be with Chen Zexuan, how could she suddenly act on her own?

Either she advocated hiding it from the King of Nanyang without authorization, or the King of Nanyang had some task entrusted to her......

Jian frowned slightly, and he put the secret letter away.

Looking up at the opposite side, ignoring the dirt in front of Gu Jinli's clothes, her whole body exuded a faint softness, which made him unconsciously lean forward.

Looking down at her quiet sleeping face up close, he curled the corners of his lips.

From holding Gu Jinli's hand and entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, the words revealed a change in his attitude towards her, said something misleading, and left with her. Everything was done on purpose.

First, Gu Chengen's thoughts about Gu Jinli were becoming more and more unable to hide, and last time he actually had the intention of kidnapping Gu Jinli and imprisoning her, so Qi Hao was stimulating him this time and forcing him to make further moves.

If Gu Chengen doesn't do it again, how can Qi Hao play with him?

Second, it can be regarded as a declaration of sovereignty, so that those who have intentions against her can dispel their thoughts as soon as possible......

Third, it was indeed deliberately done for King Xuan as Chen Zexuan thought.

Merely...... Gu Jinxiu knocked over Gu Jinli's rice bowl, but he didn't calm down for a while, so much so that he took Gu Jinli and left, which made Gu Huai displeased......

However, there seems to be a small gain, that is, he knows some of Gu Jinli's preferences.

It's not important information, but it's better to know than not to know.

Every time he spied a little, he got closer to her......

His eyes fell on Gu Jinli's delicate red lips, Qi Hao's heart flickered, and he kissed it with a ghost.

He didn't dare to push too hard, because he was worried that Gu Jinli would wake up suddenly, so he could only quickly tap the water.

Seeing that Gu Jinli seemed to be sleeping peacefully, and there was no trace of being about to wake up, he relieved himself.

His hand carefully rested on her lips, and his heart itched again.

After struggling for a while, I wanted to drop a kiss gently.

However, Gu Jinli opened her eyes at this time.

Qi Hao's lips were only a little short of Gu Jinli's lips, but at this time, his movements were stiff in mid-air.

His scorching breath sprayed on her neck, crispy and numb, Gu Jinli's face burned with a red cloud, and he suddenly pushed Qi Hao away and sat up, with a hint of nervousness in his voice: "Wang ...... Lord, what are you going to do? ”

It was not as calm as giving Gu Jinli medicine in the stone pavilion, after Qi Hao sat back, his face was a little embarrassed, and his eyes were as if someone had discovered some ulterior secret.

There was a moment of silence. He said slowly: "Just now...... This king found a small bug on your face. ”

"Uh......" Gu Jinli blinked, then looked around and asked, "What about the bugs?" ”

Qi Hao turned his face away, "I was blown away by this king." ”

After Gu Jinli heard this, she looked at Qi Hao's eyes becoming more and more strange.

For some reason, she always felt that his words were not credible.

Since it's a small bug, if you don't look closely, you can't find it, right?

In other words, he stared at her after she fell asleep?!

Idle, what is he staring at her?

Unconsciously tightened her neckline, Gu Jinli's expression was slightly defensive, and she said in a muffled voice: "Then thank you to the prince." ”

Looking at Gu Jinli's expression, just like in the stone pavilion, Qi Hao snorted lightly and opened the curtain to look outside.

About another hour later, Gu Huai's birthday banquet ended.

After Chen Zexuan said goodbye to Gu Huai, King Xuan, the Seventh Prince and others one by one, he walked towards the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking about Gu Chengen, who was unconscious lying on the table just now, and shook his head with a sneer.

"Shizi." At this time, Lei Zi suddenly came over, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Huh?" After hearing this, Chen Zexuan hurriedly quickened his steps and walked out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

I saw that next to the carriage, a young man in purple was facing away from him.

He was not tall, and he had just reached Chen Zexuan's chin, but the face he revealed after turning his head was extremely delicate.

After seeing Chen Zexuan, his big eyes were radiant, his red lips were raised, and his smile seemed to be infused with sunshine, which made people's mood brighter.

It's just that his voice is full of a woman's pretty.

"Brother!"

Ignoring the pedestrians on the street, the little boy threw himself into Chen Zexuan's arms the next moment.

Chen Zexuan smiled helplessly, his eyes full of doting.
