"Miss, Yin Gongzi called you!" Aiyue already had a good impression of Yin Zike, and when she saw that he asked Gu Jinli to jump directly into the third round, she couldn't help but pull her sleeve happily.

Gu Jinli saw that everyone's resentful eyes were focused on her, she sighed helplessly, stood up, and said slowly: "Thank you Yin Gongzi for your love, but Jinxiu knows that her talent is limited, so she won't participate." ”

When everyone listened to her humble words, their jealousy not only did not decrease by half, but became stronger again.

Because, Yin Zike said in a deep voice: "If you can win Xuan Shizi, how can you be a talentless person?" ”

A woman in the crowd said in a shrill voice, dissatisfied: "Xuan Shizi is the first son in the world, I must have seen that she is a woman, so I deliberately lost to her!" ”

"Isn't it, our son is personable, a humble gentleman, and naturally he will not be as knowledgeable as a woman!"

"Yes, not to mention a shameless woman!"

……

As soon as her voice fell, the echoing women rose up one after another to attack.

"Smack!"

Gu Nianshi listened to the women's scolding becoming more and more excessive, Qingxiu's face was full of anger, he slapped the table heavily, got up and said angrily: "Jin...... Jinxiu won Xuan Shizi that day, this is what everyone saw with their own eyes, how can you slander her with such nonsense? ”

Gu Jinli couldn't help but feel warm in her heart when she saw Gu Nian, who had a gentle temperament and had never blushed with anyone, because of herself.

"Hehe, Second Master Gu, what everyone said is not unreasonable, you don't need to be on the line like this." Hua Qiong hooked her lips and smiled, and said slowly: "If Gu Jinxiu participates in the round according to the rules, presumably everyone will not say anything." ”

"However, suddenly making such an exception will inevitably make people unconvinced."

"The princess is absolutely right." Shen Biyun cleared her throat and said, "Who doesn't have one nose and two eyes?" What reason does Gu Jinxiu have to be special? ”

"With Jinxiu's talent, there is no need to compete at all!" Shen Biyun's tone revealed a sense of yin and yang weirdness, which made Gu Nianshi blurt out: "Even if all the women are combined, they can't compare to one Jinxiu!" ”

After hearing this, Princess Huaqiong snorted coldly, her dark eyes turned into a dagger, and she stared at Gu Nianshi's face, "Second Prince Gu has such a big breath!" ”

"A Gu Jinxiu actually compared all the women in the capital, since this is the case, then when the princess returns to the palace, she has to talk to her father!"

I have to say that what she said was unceremoniously, and even the old emperor moved out, and the hall instantly fell silent.

"I ......" Gu Nianshi was shocked, realizing that what he had just said was a little extreme, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to round the field.

Gu Jinli quietly looked at Gu Nian, who was blushing, and finally said slowly: "What the princess said is right, for the sake of fairness, I really shouldn't join the third round of the competition." ”

After a pause, she changed her tone again, and there was no doubt in her voice: "However, what my second brother and Yin Gongzi said is even more correct!" ”

While slowly walking from the back to the center of the main hall, she looked at the few women who were shouting, and raised her voice: "I won Xuan Shizi, and among the young ladies here, who has won him?" ”

Shen Biyun didn't expect Gu Jinli to dare to refute, glared at her fiercely, and was about to say something, but Gu Jinli didn't give her a chance to say a word.

"Don't say that Xuan Shizi deliberately let me, if you have the ability, let him let you!" Splitting his head and covering his face, Gu Jin's eyes were cold, and he actually had a sense of fearlessness.

"Since you don't have this ability, what qualifications and identities do you have to question me?"

And the fierce aura emanating from her body also surprised everyone.

It seemed that it was the first time she had seen Gu Jinli's fierce side, Yin Suwan looked at her straight, as if she wanted to see how many unknown faces there were behind her face.

I really want to know which of Gu Jinli's faces Qi Hao fell in love with her......

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Yin Suwan's scrutinizing look, and Gu Jinli chose to ignore it.

Walking a few steps closer, she removed the cold color in her eyes, turned her head to look at Princess Hua Qiong, and smiled slightly: "I still remember that on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the emperor originally planned to give me the 'Vermilion Bird Feather Coat', but I thought that the princess also liked it, so I reluctantly gave it to the princess." ”

"The princess just said that she would go to the emperor when she goes back, and I think it's very good. I also bothered to ask the princess if there was any extra 'Suzaku Feather Coat'. ”

When Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Liu heard this, their eyes widened, and they agreed that Gu Jinli's head was broken, and she mentioned the 'Vermilion Bird Feather Coat', isn't this implying that Hua Qiong is snatching love with a knife?

Seeing that Princess Huaqiong's face was even more gloomy, Gu Jinli was not afraid of death and said: "However, if it is the only one, I think the princess can consider it and then return it to me." ”

"How can you say that the 'Suzaku Feather Cloak' is not very suitable for the princess, so why bother to destroy the heavens?"

Shen Biyun swallowed her saliva, stretched out her hand to point at Gu Jinli, and stammered, "Gu ...... Gu Jinxiu, you ...... How dare you say that...... Talking to the princess? ”

"How am I?" Gu Jinli met Hua Qiong's resentful eyes and chuckled: "In these years, don't you let people tell the truth?" ”

Although she has heard too many vicious words, she has become numb, but in front of her own concerns, if she repeatedly retreats, where will she put him? How can he be embarrassed?

Moreover, Gu Nianshi had obviously offended Hua Qiong just now, and according to Hua Qiong's retributive character, Gu Nianshi's small shoes would definitely be indispensable in the future.

Of course, even the Gu family will be implicated.

As for himself, he was inexplicably hated by Hua Qiong at the beginning, so he didn't care about this time.

deliberately said something provocative, firstly, to make Gu Nianshi not so embarrassed, and secondly, to divert Hua Qiong's hatred for him and help him share the pressure.

Three, people, all have tempers.

She's not a clay figure either, she hurts, itches, and gets sad.

bullied her again and again, if you don't slap them in the face once, how can you let them remember it for a long time?

In addition to her late mother in this world, only Hexiang and Aiyue are her closest and most reluctant people, what are these women who intrigue all day long and have nothing to do?

If you want to complain, you will resent, and if you want to hate, you will hate.

Anyway, she had nothing to ask them for!

Gu Nianshi looked at Gu Jinli in a daze, and it took a while to come to his senses.

The sullen breath in his heart was exhaled heavily, and he suddenly felt that such Gu Jinli was capable enough to deal with everything, and he didn't need to say anything more.

"Presumptuous!" Sure enough, Hua Qiong raised her hand, slammed the teacup on the table to the ground with a "bang", and gritted her silver teeth: "Gu Jinxiu, what crime should you be guilty of daring to despise this princess!" ”

"Why did the princess say that?" The corners of Gu Jinli's lips curled even more, she stood in front of the dozen women, her eyes swept around them, and said in a deep voice: "The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, a golden body, how can I despise the princess?" ”

"There is a story in Buddhism that says, if you see what others are, then you are what you are in the eyes of others."

"Could it be that the princess looks down on herself in her heart?"

In such a tense atmosphere, Gu Jinli smiled lightly and calmly, making Yin Zike's eyes unconsciously fixed on her.

The little guy behind "Childe ......" tugged at his sleeve, and he remembered to sit down again.

"Sister, look at the appearance of the eldest brother looking at Gu Jinxiu just now, this is clearly ......" Yin Suxi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and whispered.

Yin Suwan naturally caught Yin Zike's distracted expression when she looked at Gu Jinli, and said "um", indicating that she understood.

The man he loves the most has Gu Jinli in his heart.

Unexpectedly, even his brother was fascinated by Gu Jinli, what kind of mood should this be?

Clenching her sleeves hard, the dark tide in Yin Suwan's eyes became more and more turbulent.

Hua Qiong was so blocked that she couldn't speak, and her aggressive momentum was a little weaker.

"Princess, the ladies have gone through two rounds of competition, and they are probably tired, why don't you slow down in the third round, what do you think?"

The person who gave Hua Qiong the steps was Jiang Qinglan this time, and her voice was like a gentle breeze, which made the hall much less embarrassed.

Glancing at Gu Jinli faintly, Hua Qiong waved her hand, and said in a muffled voice with an unwilling face: "Okay, let's take a break for a stick of incense for the time being!" ”

With that, she flicked her sleeves and walked out of the hall.

Seeing this, the other women also glared at Gu Jinli angrily, and then quickly followed.

"Sister, do you think this Gu Jinxiu is crazy? She angered Princess Huaqiong, what good fruit to eat? "Since Yin Suwan and Yin Suxi don't move, then Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Liu naturally don't move.

Mrs. Liu took a sip of tea and said meaningfully: "Good fruit is not eaten, but it is much better than blindly going against the grain." ”

"Everyone wants to pinch soft persimmons, but if there are too many people to pinch them, it will become persimmon puree."

After serving the Queen Mother in the palace for so many years, the reason why Prince Huaqiong hated Gu Jinli could be seen through by Mrs. Liu at a glance.

Two days ago, the reason why she took Mrs. Yu to Yixin Courtyard to pester Yin Suwan to come to this Changyin Garden was to get rid of Gu Jinli or Yin Suwan with Mrs. Yu's hand.

However, looking at the current situation, Gu Jinli's scourge is eliminated by Hua Qiong.

As for Yin Suwan, there are many people at the banquet, and it is not very convenient to do it.

Anyway, there's still a way back, and it's not too late to do it then......

Mrs. Liu wants to get rid of Yin Suwan and Gu Jinli, and Yin Suwan also wants to get rid of the three women in the side courtyard.

What kind of temperament Mrs. Yu has, Yin Suwan knows everything these days.

If Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Liu can let Gu Jinli go and never return, then after returning to the palace, Qi Hao will definitely vent his anger on the two of them.

At that time, will they still have their lives?

Everyone has a shrewd little abacus in their hearts, and whether the abacus makes a sound or not depends on the strategy and means......

Mrs. Yu took a pair of hibiscus roasted fish on a plate of chopsticks and pouted, "Hmph, she provoked the most unprovoked person in this capital, and she will definitely not be able to eat it this time and leave!" ”

"Hehe, Sister Yu shouldn't speak too absolutely." Mrs. Liu shook her head, poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Yu, and said slowly: "Don't you forget, after so many conspiracies and calculations in the palace, didn't she hide them one by one?" ”

"That can't always be so lucky!" After hearing this, Madame Jade viciously stuck her chopsticks in the fish's eye.

Mrs. Liu coughed lightly twice, pretending to be unintentional: "Sister Yu, what you said is not unreasonable. ”

"There are so many people today, if something happens to her......"

Her desire to speak stopped again, like a light, awakening the chaotic Jade Lady.

There was a flash of light in her eyes, and Madam Yu suddenly thought of something, and immediately smiled.

The noisy hall just now suddenly returned to quiet after Princess Hua Qiong left with a large group of people.

"Jinxiu, I have to discuss the next competition with Yin Gongzi."

Although Hua Qiong did not make it clear whether she agreed to Gu Jinli to directly enter the third round of the competition, according to the performance of the remaining dozen or so people in the first two rounds, Gu Nianshi and Yin Zike, the two current and former presidents, had to consider it again and again.

Also, we should refer to the opinions of the onlookers of the poetry club.

Gu Jinli nodded and smiled: "Okay, I'll go out to breathe." ”

When she looked at Yin Zike, he had already looked away.

Raising her feet, she left with Aiyue and Hexiang.

After leaving the main hall, Aiyue sighed with emotion: "Princess Huaqiong's nose was almost crooked just now, but I can't help you, it's really relieving!" ”

Seeing a few young ladies passing by, Hexiang quickly pushed Aiyue's arm and signaled her not to talk nonsense.

"I ...... Ay! "There was a pain in the stomach, and "gurgling" was a sound of overturning the river and the sea.

"Miss, I'll go to the toilet!" Aiyue blushed, clutched her stomach, dropped a word, and immediately disappeared.

Hua Qiong's group was sitting in a group in the pavilion at this time, with all kinds of fresh fruits, exquisite pastries, and iced soups on the table.

A group of people chatted about clothes, hair accessories, and in short, they had a lot of fun.

On the contrary, no one went to the "Taiqing Lake".

Gu Jinli frowned, and instructed Hexiang: "I'll go to 'Taiqing Lake' to wait for you, and you go and watch Aiyue." ”

"Yes, miss." He Xiang knew that Gu Jinli was worried that Aiyue had accidentally collided with the nobleman or that someone had deliberately designed, framed and grabbed the handle, so she responded and hurriedly stepped forward to chase Aiyue.

Standing by the lake, Gu Jinli sniffed, sniffed the faint fragrance of lotus in the air, and the boredom in her heart passed away little by little.

The clear lake water, the cool breeze, and then looking up at the blue sky and white clouds overhead, the momentary tranquility made her breathe a long sigh of relief.

Thinking about returning to the main hall for a while, whether Hua Qiong would embarrass herself again, and how she could do it so as not to embarrass Yin Zike and Gu Nianshi, her lips pursed into a straight line.

Just as she was pondering, a figure quietly came behind her.

Gu Jinli was too focused to hear any movement, nor did she realize that the person was reaching out towards her.

"Poof!" There was a splash of water.

With a strong force around her waist, she was pushed directly into the lake.

The water in the lake is so deep that it can drown people's heads if they fall.

After choking on a few mouthfuls of water, Gu Jinli vaguely saw Madame Yu's crimson dress disappearing into the reeds on the side.

Gu Jinli knew water, she tried to calm herself down, and tried to swim to the shore, but her feet seemed to be entangled in something.

It was like a black-and-white life-killing rope, holding her and dragging her deep into the lake, not giving her the slightest chance to breathe.

In a hurry, Gu Jinli was fluttering and wanted to open her mouth to call, but the lake water kept pouring into her throat, and she couldn't let her shout a word.

"Miss!" Hexiang rushed to the lake from a distance, and when she saw Gu Jinli sinking deeper and lower, she screamed in fright.

She couldn't swim, so she was anxious to look around for something to save Gu Jinli, but there was nothing but the fragile and slender reed pole.

Aiyue, who ran over closely, was also so frightened that her face was bloodless, and tears came out in a hurry: "Little ...... Miss ......"

"Bang!" , a whirlwind blew in front of Aiyue and Hexiang, and then a white figure jumped into the water at an incredible speed.

Yin Zike sank into the water, first holding Gu Jinli's waist and going upstream, but after finding that Gu Jinli was entangled in something, he could only hold his breath and sink underwater, carefully groping Gu Jinli's calves, and using a lot of strength to untie the entangled aquatic weeds.

When Yin Zike surfaced, he saw that Gu Jinli had lost consciousness, and her body was soft, as if as long as Yin Zike let go of the hand holding her, she would be washed away by the lake at any time.

With a tight heart, Yin Zike immediately hugged Gu Jinli and swam to the shore.

"Miss ......" Aiyue saw Yin Zike holding Gu Jinli with one hand and the other on the shore, and hurriedly picked up the two of them with Hexiang.

With lake water dripping all over his body, Yin Zike didn't care about anything else, and immediately pressed his hands on Gu Jinli's chest.

One, two, three, but Gu Jinli didn't react.

Aiyue covered her mouth, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Hexiang was also very uneasy, but remembering what she had read in the medical book before, she hurriedly squatted down and pinched Gu Jinli's middle point.

After a while, Gu Jinli coughed a few times and spit out a few more mouthfuls of water, and then slowly opened her eyes.

Pulling her lips, she said weakly: "How ...... Thank you, Young Master Yin. ”

Hexiang unbuttoned her shirt and said worriedly, "Miss, are you okay?" ”

"I ......" Gu Jinli shook her head, and before she finished speaking, she heard a loud shout, which shook her ears and buzzed.

"What are you guys doing!"

Yin Zike's hand was on Gu Jinli's shoulder so that he could help her sit up, so the posture looked slightly ambiguous.

Hua Qiong's eyes breathed fire, as if his wife had caught a rapist, and she couldn't wait to dismantle the dog man and woman in front of her.

To be precise, Gu Jinli's five horses were divided, skinned and cramped.

Shen Biyun, who was behind him, rolled his eyes, and pretended to be surprised: "Oh, this man and woman can't kiss, but it really pollutes our eyes!" ”

Gu Jinli's clothes were soaked, and the perfect curve of her body was completely exposed in front of everyone's eyes at this moment, and her white chest led to reverie.

"Concubine Gu, how can you do such a shameless thing behind the back of the prince? The face of our Ning Wangfu has been lost by you! Madame Yu stood next to Shen Biyun, looking distressed and extremely disappointed.

He Xiang immediately put her coat on Gu Jinli's body and covered her tightly.

Yin Zike withdrew his hand and said with a cold face: "Just now, Concubine Gu accidentally fell into the water, and she had to trouble the princess to ask for a doctor." ”

With his words, he was telling those who deliberately spread rumors and causing trouble the truth, but unfortunately, everyone deliberately ignored the facts, and still held on to his actions with Gu Jinli just now.

"Tut, they all say that Gu Xiang's family style is strict, and now it seems that ...... Hehe! ”

"Hug and hug other men, Qingqing and me, isn't this a cuckold on King Ning's head."

"Hehe, if this is a crime of fornication, it will be a big deal!"

……

As a woman, honor and innocence are especially important.

The custom of the country is that as long as a woman and a man have a marriage contract, regardless of whether the marriage is held or not, then they are considered to be married.

Even if the man dies before he is married......

If you are widowed for a lifetime, you can only blame yourself for your bad life......

If anyone remarries, or fornicates with another man, the consequences are extremely serious.

There are a variety of punishments for unchaste women, the first of which is called "riding a wooden donkey", which is the most common type of torture.

A wooden pillar is erected on top of a piece of wood, and then the tortured woman is hoisted and placed on top of the pillar, so that the pillar penetrates into the body.

Finally, let go of the woman's body until the wooden pillar pierces through the mouth and nose, and it is often a few days before she dies.

The second is "beheading the fingers". The woman's four fingers were placed in the torture instrument and vigorously squeezed. Ten fingers connected to the heart, with the sound of finger bones breaking and a basin of cold water splashed back and forth, ordinary women can't stand it.

The third is the "coffin", which is to hit the woman's chest and abdomen with a wooden coffin, so that something will fall in the woman's body, and she can only urinate and cannot have sexual activities.

……

It can be seen that these women are going to confirm Gu Jinli's crimes.

Yin Zike listened to these nonsense that reversed black and white, and the disgust in his eyes was even worse.

It just so happened that at this time, when I had just finished evaluating the first two rounds of Gu Nian with the members, I also got the news and ran over, and said uneasily: "The pool water is too cold, Jinxiu's body is weak, let her go back and change her clothes first!" ”

Aiyue and Hexiang felt that what Gu Nianshi said was reasonable, so they blessed Hua Qiong with their bodies, and immediately helped Gu Jinli to leave before Hua Qiong spoke.

"When did Princess Ben let you go!" Stopping in front of Gu Jinli, Hua Qiong said in a sharp voice: "This 'Taiqing Lake' is a holy lake for drinking, and now it has been defiled by you, do you want to just leave?" ”

Gu Jinli knew the peculiarity of "Taiqing Lake", but she didn't know that it was actually a holy lake.

Gu Nianshi saw that Gu Jinli's lips were pale, and he couldn't help but say boldly: "Princess Huaqiong, Jinxiu's body is weak and can't withstand the cold. If you have anything to say, it's better to wait for Jinxiu to finish changing her clothes! ”

Yin Suxi was entangled in not having a good time to press the handkerchief next to Gu Jinli, and after listening to it, he rarely pleaded for Gu Jinli with kind words: "Princess, Gu Jinxiu can't run, and it's not too late to ask for guilt later." ”

Hua Qiong knew that Yin Suxi had always hated Gu Jinli because of Yin Suwan's affairs, and when she saw that she was actually speaking for Gu Jinli, she couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

The two met their eyes, and something quickly communicated in their eyes.

Thinking that Yin Suxi must have her reasons for doing this, Hua Qiong hesitated for a moment and said coldly: "Okay, then let you go and change your clothes!" ”

Gu Jinli's nose was itchy, she resisted the urge to sneeze, wrapped her coat tightly, and went to the side courtyard under the leadership of the maid.
