Although the beds and bedding have been replaced, I have lived in the east wing for more than ten days, and I am really not used to going back to the Fuyuan at first glance.

Gu Jinli stood up and glanced at the table, the candles on the candlestick were almost burned out, but she still didn't feel a trace of sleepiness.

I don't know if it's because too many things happened today, or because of other reasons, she felt a little blocked in her heart.

This deep courtyard, like an invisible cage, was so oppressive that she couldn't breathe.

The more it was in the dead of night, the more she missed the carefree and peaceful days in Nanshan.

Nanshan has no father, no eldest lady, no sisters and aunts, and only a mother with green mountains and clear waters and strict kindness.

Ever since she had a memory, her mother has always called her Ali.

When she began to read, she asked her mother if her name meant parting.

Pointing to the words on the rice paper, her mother told her earnestly that "glass" has the meaning of being as smooth as jade.

Mother hopes that she can be like a piece of jade, white and flawless, ice clear and jade.

Later, when she was able to read, she saw a sentence in the book, "Raise eight yuan, so that the five teachings are taught in the four directions, father's righteousness, mother's kindness, brother's friend, brother's respect, son's filial piety, internal peace and external success." ”

So she wondered why everyone else had a father but not herself.

The mother was silent for a long time before touching her head and saying. Ali also has a father, but his father is far away.

She nodded ignorantly, but she didn't understand the sadness in her mother's eyes and the deep meaning of wanting to speak.

When I was eight years old, a man I had never met finally came to my mother's yard.

The man looked at her for a long time before he said with a complicated expression, "Eight years have passed in a blink of an eye, has this child been named?" ”

The mother said, "I took a nickname, and Ali is also your child, why don't you give her another name?" ”

The man looked at the red koi in the pool and said slowly, "Koi, Jinli." May this child be as free as a fish in the future, and be happy for the rest of his life. ”

He looked at her with a look of love, and when he learned from his mother that she could play the piano and paint, he was even more appreciative.

Before leaving, he asked his mother, did she still want to go back with him?

Seeing his mother shake her head, he just sighed heavily, and then left in silence.

She wondered about the identity of this man, but she didn't dare to ask more, so she could only bury her doubts in her heart obediently.

Three years later, she was eleven years old. Her mother, who had been seriously ill since she was born, left her behind.

Because her mother was wrapped in thick clothes all year round, and she would never take them off even in the sweltering summer, she didn't know what kind of strange illness her mother had.

According to her mother's instructions before she died, she handed the letter sealed with wax under her pillow to the young master of Kiyomizu Temple at the foot of the mountain.

Mother said, Ah Li, don't be afraid, someone will take care of you for me.

Two days later, Gu Huai came.

I haven't seen him for three years, and the corners of his eyes have a few more wrinkles than last time.

Holding her in his arms, who was already almost up to his chest, he choked up and called her A-Li.

That year, she was taken back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and everyone in the mansion knew that Gu Huai had been hiding in the golden house outside for many years.

The people outside were equally surprised. Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Gu Cheng's daughter who was lost eleven years ago was recovered.

Since then, she has become the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion from a little girl on Nanshan.

A few days before her mother's death, she dreamed that her mother said that she missed the camellia flowers in Nanshan, and after waking up, she took advantage of the dawn to go out of the house under the veil and pretend to be Gu Jinxiu, and warned the guards to keep quiet.

When she was about to go to her mother's grave with the camellia in her arms, someone behind her called out to her.

The jade-like son called her "Miss Gu", and the look in his eyes seemed to be like he had known each other for a long time.

He reported his name, and she thought that the son of the Yin Taifu family must have recognized himself as Gu Jinxiu.

With a few words of forced calm greetings, she left with a weak heart.

As a second lady who came out of nowhere, people outside the mansion often find all kinds of excuses to see her appearance, but Gu Huai also found one reason or another to perfunctory in order to protect her.

Coupled with the mystery that Gu Jinxiu has given to everyone over the years, everyone only thinks that the Xiangfu tutor is strict, and the discipline of Miss Fuzhong is strict, and no one pays attention to it after a long time.

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, not long after she changed her clothes, she heard Hexiang crying that Gu Jinxiu took advantage of her absence to take away her mother's jade pendant and Xiao.

Immediately afterward, the eldest lady brought a few gift boxes to her courtyard.

took her hand, knew it with affection, moved it with reason, promised it with benefits, and persuaded her to marry into King Ning's mansion on behalf of Gu Jinxiu......

After careful calculation, she has been away from Nanshan for more than four years, and it has been two months since she agreed to marry the eldest lady.

She didn't live as freely as a fish as Gu Huai said at the beginning, but became a caged bird, hehe......

Sometimes, fate really likes to play tricks on people!

Thinking of Nanshan and her mother, her heart tugged again.

Opening the cabinet barefoot, Gu Jinli took out the jade flute in the brocade box.

Looking at the dark night outside the window, she sat on a wicker chair in front of the window and played her mother's favorite "Sunny Spring".

This "sunny spring" is as crisp as a tactful lark at first, and then as gorgeous as a hundred flowers in full bloom, and like a clear spring in the mountains, in short, it makes people's mood instantly brighten.

In the courtyard, the candlelight emits a faint glow.

Qi Hao looked at Yin Suwan in his arms, and his eyes were soft.

The scar on the corner of her eyebrows has become much lighter, and she can't see it if you don't look carefully.

The delicate red lips opened slightly, reminding him of the fierce and passionate kiss just now.

His eyes fell on the strawberries he had planted on her neck, and he pursed his lips.

Carefully pulled his arm out of Yin Suwan's waist, Qi Hao carefully tucked the quilt for her, and dropped a kiss on her forehead, and then walked out of the house lightly.

After the door closed, the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes.

Yin Suwan gently stroked the residual warmth on her forehead and closed her eyes again.

The candle "crackled", and the moment it burned out, the corner of her eyes was crystal clear in the dark night.

Qi Hao walked into the study while feeling the cool wind of the night.

Suddenly, he heard a faint sound of flutes, and he paused.

For some reason, he felt that the sound of the flute seemed to have a kind of magic, subconsciously guiding him forward.

Maybe he didn't understand who was playing the flute this big night, but in short, following the sound of the flute, he actually stood at the door of the Fuyuan Temple.

Gu Jinli in front of the window was immersed in memories with her mother.

The sound of the flute gradually turned from the brightness just now to sadness, the sadness is not as sad as the cuckoo's cry of blood, but it makes people's hearts flood with a lot of inexplicable melancholy.

Lingering grievances. Touching.

With his hands behind his back, Qi Hao stopped and stood still, quietly looking at Gu Jinli's side face.

In today's case of Jin Mei, he seems to have seen another side of her.

He believed that she must have received the news when she rushed to the Pleasant House, but after she saluted, she asked him what had happened, which showed that she knew how to deal with everything before she was sure that she was in a good position.

After Mama Gui finished counting Jin Mei's crimes, she unhurriedly asked a few more seemingly inconsequential questions.

Calm and calm, reasonable, and did not show the slightest unreasonable aggressiveness, but blocked Mama Gui's back road little by little.

Wanwan's plea for Mama Gui was within his expectations, and she handed over the final disposition to herself along Wanwan's steps, sparing Mama Gui and saving her own face.

After all, Mama Gui is a person in the palace, and when she did such a rebellious thing, his face was gloomy......

She is versatile, she is thoughtful, Qi Hao sighed softly in his heart.

Gu Jinxiu, what kind of woman are you?

She's becoming more and more of a fan, making him want to get rid of it layer by layer.

However, this trend is not good.

Because, the more dangerous the thing, the more fascinating.

After the song was blown, Gu Jinli raised her eyes and glanced out inadvertently, her gaze unexpectedly met Qi Hao.

I don't know how long Qi Hao has been standing there, she just subconsciously wanted to stand up, but he had already turned his head and left.

"Uh......" couldn't guess the deep meaning of the flash in his eyes, she was a little inexplicable.

Looking at the figure that disappeared into the night, Gu Jinli's eyes widened with suspicion.

Qi Hao was not in the courtyard at night, why was she standing at the gate of her courtyard?

Could it be sleepwalking? But the Pleasant Heart Courtyard is not close to here!

"Strange ......" shook her head, she closed the window, locked Jasper Xiao again, and went to bed.

probably vented the depression in his heart through the sound of the flute, and now his heart is much calmer.

Soon, Gu Jinli fell asleep.

Unbeknownst to her, there was a person looking through her information at this moment.

In the Tianzi No. 1 room of Baiyulou, Chen Zexuan looked at the thin pieces of paper, raised his eyes and stared at Lei Zi faintly, "That's all?" ”

Lei Zi lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Shizi...... The prime minister and the prime minister's wife protected her too well, and that's all they could find. ”

Chen Zexuan snorted coldly and said slowly: "Since it is a girl who follows the rules, how can she be a deviant woman dressed as a man?" Either this information is wrong, or it is just her nature! ”

When Lei Zi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Shizi, our spies have all been trained strictly, how can there be a mistake?" ”

Turning the second page, it was Gu Jinli's poem.

Her handwriting was beautiful, but the paper was slightly yellowed, and it seemed to be very old.

Chen Zexuan pursed his lips and read in a deep voice: "Joys and sorrows are more laborious, who knows when the day is free." It is better not to come and not to go, and there is no joy or sorrow. ”

"Hehe, what a 'better 'don't come or go, no joy and no sadness'! A fifteen-year-old girl can have such an understanding, but she is even more powerful than this son back then! ”

Lei Zi glanced at him secretly, thinking that Shizi was only six years older than the woman, but this tone sounded like the old man's praise for the junior.

I don't know. How old are the hearts of their descendants......

Looking at the next few pages, Chen Zexuan's eyes dimmed: "Master once told this son that almost all the people who can dance the 'Phoenix Dance for Nine Days' in this world are dead. ”

"Strictly speaking, it is not the real 'Phoenix Dance Nine Days'. Even the Queen Mother a few decades ago, she was just an imitation of other dances. ”

"In the future, the 'Phoenix Dance Nine Days' will lose the essence of dance. And at her young age, she has profound basic skills, which shows that the person who taught her dancing skills must be very powerful. ”

After a pause, he clenched the paper tightly, "That person is very likely to have something to do with what we're looking for, Leizi, go check it out now!" ”

"Yes, Shizi!" Lei Zi naturally knew how important that thing was to the Lord and the Prince, nodded heavily, and he disappeared immediately.

With a wave of his palm, Gu Jinli's information instantly turned into crumbs under Chen Zexuan's palm.

A glass of sake was in his throat, and she dressed as a man, shaking a fan, and smiled lightly, and his heart moved, and he blurted out: "There is no beauty in a thousand autumns, and it is a beautiful woman to the eye." The country and the city are shocked. ”

After the words fell, Chen Zexuan was stunned, and his evil eyes were slightly confused: "Gu Jinxiu, Gu Jinxiu......"

He muttered a few words, then tilted his head and poured another glass of wine.

"Smack", the wine glass fell, and the ground was broken.

"It turned out to be a woman from Qi Hao...... Hehe! Wiping the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, he lifted the hair that had been covering the corners of his eyes, and smiled deeply and treacherously.

The tear mole under the corner of the eye added a touch of bewitchment.

On the second day, before dawn, Mama Gui waited in front of Yin Suwan's door early in the morning, and only dared to enter the room to serve when the time was almost up.

Putting the basin down, she secretly glanced at the sheets, and when she saw the dazzling red, she immediately smiled and stepped forward and saluted: "Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess." ”

Yin Suwan sat in front of the dresser, combing her hair with her hand, reluctantly pulled her lips, and asked, "How is Shuang'er?" ”

Mama Gui couldn't see Yin Suwan's expression, so she turned around and cleaned up the dirty sheets, and said with unconcealed joy in her tone: "Don't worry, Princess, Shuang'er is fine." ”

"This morning, when the prince went to court, he was refreshed, it seems that what the old slave said is really right, this man, he still has to ......"

"Mama Gui." Yin Suwan looked at herself with slightly swollen eyes in the mirror, and coldly interrupted Mama Gui's words: "Since Shuang'er is fine, then let her come over to serve the princess!" ”

"Mama is getting old. Don't work too hard. ”

Mama Gui didn't notice Yin Suwan's displeasure, nor did she notice the change in her title, so she hugged the sheet and said in a daze: "Uh, princess......"

"This princess didn't rest well last night, Mama, go out first." Waving her hand, Yin Suwan's tone was light.

Mama Gui thought about the round room between the prince and the princess last night, and it was inevitable that it would be more intense for the first time, which might have tired the princess, and asked, "Then the old slave helped you to the bed and then lie down?" ”

Seeing Yin Suwan shaking her head, Mama Gui blessed her body, and said very intimately: "Princess, you have a good rest, the old slave will go to the kitchen to stew some supplements for you!" ”

The moment the door was closed, Yin Suwan could still hear Mama Gui talking to herself: "Tsk, if the princess can get a man and have a little son in one fell swoop......"

Touching her flat lower abdomen, her heart moved, and she said softly: "Xiao Shizi......"

After a long time, her gaze moved down to her still unconscious legs, and she swept away the chill in her eyes.

In the Fuhui Courtyard, Aiyue gossiped while giving Gu Jinli a haoyue bun: "Miss, the prince finally had a round room with the princess last night." ”

"Didn't I tell you to talk less and do more in this palace? Who asked you to inquire about these things? Glancing at Aiyue, Gu Jinli frowned.

"Miss, the slave is afraid of causing trouble for you, so she doesn't even dare to say much outside, where do you dare to ask about this?" Aiyue stuck out her tongue and said disapprerovitically: "Early in the morning, Mama Gui was afraid that others would not see the blood on the sheets, and when she saw people, she couldn't wait to poke the princess's sheets under people's noses!" ”

"That is, she doesn't dare, otherwise she would even want to hang up the gate of the palace!"

Pouting, the more she said, the more disdainful she became: "It's a lot older, the older you are, the more ashamed you are!" ”

When the bun was ready, Gu Jinli said unhappily: "Okay, if you talk more, let Hexiang accompany me out of the house." ”

"Slave and maid don't say it, don't talk about it!" Aiyue listened. Hurriedly made a silent motion.

After straightening her clothes, Gu Jinli stood up, walked to the door, swept around the people in the courtyard, and said to Hexiang in a low voice: "There are many people in the house, you should be careful, especially my house, no one can come in." What happened to Jin Mei categorically cannot happen again. ”

If someone follows the example of Mama Gui framing Jin Mei and also does something in her room, then she will be the one who will carry the black pot next time......

Hexiang nodded and said clearly: "Miss, don't worry." ”

"Ouch. Is Concubine Gu going out? As soon as Gu Jinli stepped out of the door, she saw that Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yu had already come to the courtyard.

Mrs. Yu looked at the Fuyuan Courtyard, which looked newer than before, and praised it for the first time: "I didn't expect this courtyard to be cleaned up so well, I almost thought I was in the wrong place!" ”

Gu Jinli pursed her lips, detached and politely said, "I don't know if the two ladies go to the Fuyuan Courtyard to find the concubine on this side, is there anything important?" ”

Madame Liu caught the hidden meaning of her words, and if she said that it was okay, it would be inconvenient to disturb; If there is something, it has to be something important.

With a sneer, Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Concubine Gu has been coming to the palace for a long time, but Sister Yu and I haven't officially visited you yet. Therefore, I will prepare a little bit of a small gift today. I also hope that Concubine Gu will not blame. ”

Aiyue saw that the maids beside the two of them were each holding two or three gift boxes, and muttered in a low voice: "Huang? The wolf gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, but he didn't have a good heart. ”

Hexiang agreed with the "um", and added a sentence in her heart, "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." ”

Yesterday in the gazebo, Gu Jinli just said that she had the opportunity to go to Qiu Ju Courtyard to thank Mrs. Liu another day, and today they came to the door with gifts.

The corners of her lips lifted slightly, and she said to Aiyue: "Go and prepare tea for Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yu." ”

Aiyue reluctantly drooped her face and said, "Yes, Miss." ”

After several people returned to the hall, they first pretended to care about Jin Mei's injury. sighed again and sighed at the ruthlessness of Mama Gui, and finally got closer to the theme.

After taking a sip of tea, Mrs. Yu deliberately said in a tone: "Concubine Gu, something big happened last night, don't you know?" ”

Listening to Mrs. Yu's rare serious words "Concubine Gu", Gu Jinli shook her head cooperatively.

"Ouch, you don't know?" Madam Yu's eyes widened exaggeratedly, and then she said, "You don't know what the entire palace knows?" What a ......."

Seeing Gu Jinli looking at herself suspiciously, Mrs. Yu took another sip of tea and continued: "Well, the Fuyuan Courtyard is already in a remote location, and there are few people, so it's not surprising that you don't know!" ”

Aiyue saw that Mrs. Yu was contrary to the normal state of arrogance and arrogance, and actually used "you" to Gu Jinli, and also called "Concubine Gu", her eyes rolled, and she suddenly guessed something.

Looking at Madame Jade, she pretended to be curious and said, "Madame Jade, the slave dares to ask, what is the big deal?" ”

Madame Yu put down the cup and lowered her voice a little, "Last night, the prince and the princess had a round room!" ”

Gu Jinli immediately suddenly realized: "Oh. This thing is indeed ...... A big deal! ”

Without seeing the jealousy and surprise on Gu Jinli's face, Mrs. Yu couldn't help it, and blurted out: "Don't you wonder why the prince suddenly had a round with the princess?" ”

Hearing Mrs. Liu's cough twice, Mrs. Yu realized that she was a little out of shape, and explained with an unnatural expression: "I mean, the prince and the princess have been married for so long and have not yet had a round house, and suddenly ...... That's too much of a surprise, isn't it? ”

Gu Jinli played with the teacup and chuckled: "Mrs. Yu, the prince and the princess are husband and wife, even if the round room is a few days late, there is nothing wrong with it." On the contrary, it is Mrs. Jade, you react so violently, if it reaches the ears of the prince and the princess, I am afraid that Mrs. Jade will be blamed for chewing the root of her tongue behind her back! ”

It stands to reason that as a woman who is a prince, don't care whether she is favored or not, when she hears that he is in the bed of another woman, shouldn't you be jealous? But why doesn't this woman seem to care at all?

Madame Jade pinched the handkerchief, and her head turned rapidly.

With a flash of inspiration, she changed her words, "What Concubine Gu said is also reasonable, the prince and the princess are a serious couple." We are nothing in the eyes of the prince. ”

sighed, who knew that she said again: "However, Concubine Gu, you are different." ”

Gu Jinli raised her eyebrows, wanting to see what other tricks Madam Yu wanted to use, and asked, "What's different about me?" ”

Madame Yu suppressed her jealousy, and her unwilling tone was urgent: "It is said that Concubine Gu and the princess slept out all night after attending the queen mother's birthday banquet, and the princess was the princess who was favored last night, so the day you and the princess were conceived is almost a few days." ”

"The so-called 'mother is more expensive than son', didn't Concubine Gu think about it, what if you and the princess were pregnant with the prince's little son at the same time?"

After listening to Mrs. Yu's "crackling" call, Gu Jinli sneered in her heart.

Every time I saw Mrs. Jade in the past. She must have been a "little slut" to scold the dog with blood, but today not only prepared a gift, but also suddenly became respectful in her attitude, it turned out that she wanted to sow discord!

In the cave, she was most worried about being known about having a skin-to-skin relationship with Qi Hao, and she believed that Qi Hao would not say it, but she also ignored people's rich imagination......

Maybe, everyone in the house thought that she had slept with Qi Hao.

Although this is also true, it is still very uncomfortable to listen to in the ears.

Gu Jinli's eyes were slightly cold, and she said slowly: "Madam Yu, I don't know if the princess can conceive a little prince, but what I can tell you for sure is that although I and the prince were chased by assassins and fell into the cliff that night. Nothing happened to us, though. ”

After a pause, she wanted to speak and stopped: "After all, the two ladies also know that the prince has a deep affection for the princess, and the princess's leg is because of me......"

"So, the prince didn't touch you?" Mrs. Yu's eyes lit up, and her heart soaked in vinegar instantly jumped with joy.

Gu Jinli nodded and sighed: "I don't expect to be looked up to by the prince, I just hope that the prince will stop hating me, so that the future life can be better." ”

Since they can pretend to show affection, then why can't she lower her posture and show weakness?

Staring straight at Gu Jinli, Madam Yu lowered her eyes when she saw her. There was a faint sadness and helplessness in his tone, and he exchanged glances with Mrs. Liu, who had not spoken.

Mrs. Liu comforted: "Concubine Gu doesn't have to be sad, it is precisely because the prince is a person who values love and righteousness that he will be angry with you because of the princess." Wait a long time, presumably the prince can also find your good. ”

Gu Jinli looked at Mrs. Liu deeply, and the grievance in her eyes was very obvious: "I hope so." ”

Afterwards, the two ladies chatted a few more words, and finally the maid left the Fuyuan Courtyard.

"Miss, I heard a lot of nonsense and wasted a pot of good tea!" Aiyue pointed to the pot of dragon wells before the rain, and looked distressed.

Gu Jinli's gaze fell on the stack of tall gift boxes on the table, and sneered: "It's not all nonsense. At least I know what they're trying to do. ”

Mrs. Yu's purpose is very obvious, that is, to use herself and Yin Suwan, two children who do not exist for the time being, as the fuse, to provoke contradictions, and make her have a sense of crisis.

And Mrs. Liu added fuel to the fire and blamed Yin Suwan for Qi Hao's hatred of herself, which deepened her hatred for Yin Suwan......

Hehe, it's a pity that they all miscalculated.

She will not be jealous for Qi Hao at all!

Looking away, Gu Jinli said faintly: "Open these gifts and pick some rewards for the next people!" ”

Hexiang and Aiyue answered, and went out of the courtyard with the gift box.

Well...... The content of the previous 2 chapters,The male protagonist is actually not stupid.,It's just too lazy to debunk.。 First, because of Mama Gui's identity, secondly, he pleaded gracefully, and thirdly, although he had changed his opinion of the heroine a little, he was not moved, why did he take the initiative for her? It's already good if you don't burn and refuel, and then there are relatives who feel that the rhythm between the male and female protagonists is slow, so let's think about it, it was the female protagonist who was the enemy of the male protagonist before, how could it be possible to fall in love so quickly, it needs a process of mental transformation, right? Go to bed early at night, and look at it when you go to bed during the day, I don't want you to stay up late.
