Dressed in purple, the elegance is peerless.

Chen Zexuan habitually shook his fan, and an evil smile appeared in everyone's sight with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth.

The Seventh Prince behind him was dressed in a gray brocade robe, and because he had specially trimmed his appearance, the whole person looked much more energetic than before.

However, no matter who it is, as long as he stands by Chen Zexuan's side, he will be compared to his unique temperament that exudes invisibly.

"Weichen has seen Xuan Shizi and the Seventh Prince." Gu Huai and a group of guests hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand.

"Gu Xiang is not polite." Xuan Shizi smiled and helped Gu Huai, his long narrow eyes swept over everyone one by one, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "I saw the carriage of King Ning's Mansion outside just now, is Lord Ning here today?" ”

Gu Huai nodded and said in a deep voice: "Well, Lord Ning came back with Jinxiu, and he is now in the backyard." ”

"I see." Chen Zexuan looked clear, and then smiled at King Xuan beside Gu Huai: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how is King Xuan doing recently?" ”

King Xuan hooked the corners of his lips and smiled gently and politely: "Thank you Xuan Shizi for your concern, this king is all right." ”

After that, he turned his gaze to the Seventh Prince, who had not spoken, and said with a smile: "Seventh brother, if this king remembers correctly, it seems that you didn't like to participate in parties before. ”

"Today, why are you in the mood to leave the palace?"

Listening to the word "seventh brother" in King Xuan's mouth, the seventh prince sneered in his heart.

In front of the person, he shouted affectionately with a "seventh brother", and he didn't know how to despise himself behind his back.

He knew that people like King Xuan, who were above the top, looked down on him the most.

In their eyes, they are a wreck. A waste that accomplishes nothing.

However, one day, I will definitely impress them!

Holding back the discomfort in his heart, the Seventh Prince smiled and said: "Gu Xiangnai is the pillar of the court, this is his birthday, how can this prince not come to congratulate him in person?" ”

King Xuan can probably guess what the Seventh Prince came to the Prime Minister's Mansion for today, and he didn't want to take the opportunity to show his face in front of everyone, and then facilitate the salted fish to turn over in the future.

Seeing through it, he said quietly: "Hehe, seventh brother, you really have a heart." ”

"Huh. Don't stand still, everybody! Gu Huai is the best at observing words and feelings, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, Xuan Shizi, King Xuan, Seven Princes, take a seat!" ”

As he spoke, he sat down with a few people.

Gu Huai wanted to respectfully invite Chen Zexuan to sit on the main seat, but Chen Zexuan resigned on the grounds that Gu Huai was a birthday star, so Gu Huai sat on the main seat.

Due to the absence of Qi Haoren, and there is still more than half an hour before the banquet. So everyone started chatting casually in groups of three or five.

The atmosphere in the flower hall was harmonious, but the two of them in the backyard were silent and the atmosphere was awkward.

Since the flower hall was played, Gu Jinli's hand has been held tightly by Qi Hao.

Although Gu Jinli's marriage was tightly sealed, some of the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion still knew about it.

There were so many people who came and went along the way, and when they saw Qi Hao and Gu Jinli holding hands, the word shock was written on their faces.

Gu Jinli is not a person who cares about the eyes of others, but she is still a little uncomfortable when she is stared at by so many people, so when she walked to the side of the rockery. She stopped.

Seeing this, Qi Hao also stopped, and the good-looking peach blossom eyes looked at her deeply, and said in a deep voice: "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Jinli didn't dare to meet his gaze for some reason.

Turning her face, she said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, the concubine has some words to say to her mother." You...... It's not convenient for you to follow along. ”

As she spoke, she tentatively wrenched her hand from his palm.

Qi Hao's eyes were cold, his thin lips were pursed, and he put the suddenly empty hand behind his back.

Seeing that Qi Hao only looked at himself and didn't speak, Gu Jinli pointed to the garden not far away, as well as the pavilions and pavilions on the side, and whispered: "The scenery there is not bad, the prince can go over there first." ”

With that, she cautiously took a few steps back, and then turned to walk towards the courtyard of the eldest lady.

Instead of walking around the yard with Qi Hao, she might as well face the eldest lady and Gu Jinxiu, the femme fatale mother and daughter.

After all, no matter what bad tricks the eldest lady and Gu Jinxiu make, she can respond to all changes with the same.

But Qi Hao is different, he will always do something unexpectedly that she can't handle......

This person is too dangerous.

She had given her body to him, and she must not lose her heart again......

Although this world values the innocence and honor of a woman's family the most, and a man loves a virgin alone, she will never despise herself because she lost her body, let alone give her body to someone and he must have it in this life.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if you are innocent, it is the most important thing to protect your heart.

Furthermore, if there is really such a person who loves her, how can she mind that she is not perfect?

"Stop!" A cold drink behind him made Gu Jinli subconsciously freeze her body.

Qi Hao strode forward, approaching step by step.

Gu Jinli swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her heart beat faster, and there was a hint of nervousness in her voice: "Wang...... The prince ......"

"You just don't want to be alone with this king?" Qi Hao squinted his eyes, although there was a smile on his face, but the smile made Gu Jinli's scalp tingle.

"Uh......" There was no way to retreat, Gu Jinli's back was against the rockery, biting her lip and saying, "The concubine and the prince...... Not all the way. ”

"Heh, what do you mean?" Qi Hao propped his hands on both sides of Gu Jinli's head. trapped her in his arms.

Looking down, his lips close to her ear.

The warm breath sprayed on her neck, causing Gu Jinli's face to burn instantly.

There was nowhere to escape, her hands and feet didn't know where to put them, so she could only hold her sleeves tightly, and she wanted to cry without tears: "Wang...... Prince, self-...... Dead weight! ”

Gu Jin ...... Xiu. Qi Hao stared straight at the little red face that was close at hand, and said word by word: "Everything that should have happened has happened, how do you want this king to respect himself?" ”

Raising his hand to caress Gu Jinli's face, he said slowly: "You said that you are not a person from this king, then you tell this king, which road are you from?" ”

"This king, which way is it?"

His hands were obviously cold, but the temperature on her face was even hotter.

"Whoosh" suddenly came out from under Qi Hao's arm, Gu Jinli was far away from him, and said with a red face: "I ......"

"I" for a long time, but she has never "me" come up with a reason.

Qi Hao was not in a hurry, just patiently waiting for her words.

Gu Jinli took a deep breath, finally calmed down, and said seriously: "The prince and the princess are childhood sweethearts, and the couple have a deep relationship, Jinxiu can't intervene in the relationship between the prince and the princess." ”

"The most important thing is that the prince also knows that the person supported by my father is King Xuan, and I will never be able to get rid of the identity of the Gu family."

"One day, the prince and my father will definitely have a time when the fish will die and the net will break, I ...... I don't want to be a stumbling block on the road to the throne. ”

Although she couldn't figure out Qi Hao's ambiguous attitude towards herself now, whether it was a whim of interest or sincerity, but the meaning of these words was indeed obvious enough to refuse.

First, first move Yin Suwan out, remind him that the person who has been with him all these years is Yin Suwan, and ask him to take care of the old relationship and not abandon it from the beginning.

Second, move Gu Huai and King Xuan out again, reminding him that his camps are different, and he can't even be friends, so how can he have a further relationship?

"Huh!" Qi Hao sneered, the cold light in the peach blossom eyes shone directly on Gu Jinli's face, and he said in a muffled voice after a while: "Gu Jinxiu, you don't take yourself too seriously!" ”

"Become a stumbling block to this king?" stepped forward again, he raised his hand to hook Gu Jinli's chin, and said softly: "Your face does have the qualifications to charm people's hearts." ”

"It's just ......"

wanted to speak and stopped, just when Gu Jinli thought that he was going to say sarcastic words such as "unworthy" or "self-inflicted" and "self-inflicted", she heard him sigh meaninglessly: "It will take a few days." ”

"Huh?" Gu Jinli was very puzzled when she heard this.

He, what does this mean?

Since they all said that they have the qualifications to charm people, why do they need some time?

Looking at Gu Jinli with a blank expression, Qi Hao looked away. Silently withdrew his hand and turned to leave.

"Uh......" Looking at Qi Hao's back, Gu Jinli put her hand on her forehead, wiped the fine sweat from her nose, and exhaled heavily.

Determined, she turned her head and walked in the opposite direction.

Qi Hao, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Gu Jinli's figure entering the eldest lady's Bihua Courtyard, his expression gloomy.

She's already said that this point, how can he get entangled anymore?

That position is indeed his goal.

The battle with King Xuan is inevitable, and Gu Huai, as King Xuan's party, is naturally incompatible.

Therefore, it is a matter of time before the Gu family is eradicated......

Sometimes, he really didn't want her to be so smart.

How good would it be if she could be like other ladies, and devote all her thoughts to rouge gouache, clothing and accessories......

It's a pity that she is not her......

Qi Hao rubbed his eyebrows and smiled bitterly.

In the room, the eldest lady was sitting at the dresser and picking out jewelry.

Picking up a white jade bracelet, she gestured on her wrist, and then asked Gu Jinxiu on the side: "Jinxiu, what do you think of my mother wearing this today?" ”

Gu Jinxiu glanced at her absentmindedly, and said in a perfunctory tone: "It's okay." ”

Today is Gu Huai's birthday banquet, and King Xuan will definitely come to celebrate his birthday.

Originally, she wanted to go to the flower hall to see King Xuan, but there was no reason.

Also, because there were no female relatives who came to the banquet with them, there was no need to divide the men's and women's seats, and after a while, he and the two concubines in the side courtyard also went to a separate small table in the flower hall with the eldest lady.

She urged the eldest lady twice, but the eldest lady thought that there were too many distinguished guests today, and as the hostess of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she had to dress up well, so she dragged on for half an hour, and she hadn't chosen which bracelet to wear.

"Alas!" Shaking her head, the eldest lady took the white jade bracelet off her wrist again, and sighed: "It's never as good as the purple jade bracelet before me!" ”

The purple jade bracelet she said was naturally the bracelet that was taken away by Gu Jinli and used to threaten her later.

As soon as she thought of the best bracelet, the eldest lady's heart twitched violently, and she felt pain.

Gu Jinxiu heard the eldest lady mention the bracelet. The first person that appeared in my mind was naturally Gu Jinli.

Gritting her teeth, she said angrily: "It's all Gu Jinli's fault for this little slut!" If it weren't for her, I would have married King Xuan a long time ago! ”

Although Gu Huai has strongly expressed his disagreement with marrying Gu Jinxiu to King Xuan again and again, Gu Jinxiu has always blamed Gu Jinli for this, thinking that she must have put on small shoes for herself in front of Gu Huai, which is why Gu Huai's attitude is so resolute!

"Is it really good to say bad things about people behind your back?" As soon as Gu Jinxiu's words fell, he heard a familiar voice coming from the door.

Turning around suddenly, Gu Jinxiu glared at Gu Jinli angrily, "Little slut." Do you dare to have the face to come back? ”

The eldest lady saw Gu Jinli from the mirror, her face changed slightly, and then she also turned her head and looked at her coldly.

Gu Jinli automatically ignored the unfriendly aura emanating from the two of them, and smiled slightly: "Xiangfu is my home, why can't I come back?" ”

"Besides, today is my father's birthday banquet, as my father's daughter, how can I not come back to celebrate my birthday?"

After a pause, she smiled and said, "It's my mother and sister, why do you have an unwelcome look on your face when you see me?" ”

The eldest lady stood up and said to the maid on the side: "Go to Wutong Courtyard and Yihe Courtyard respectively to inform the third lady, the fourth lady and the third aunt, and let them go to the flower hall in a while." ”

The little maid answered and walked away quickly.

While walking towards the door, the eldest lady sneered: "You are now living a prosperous life in King Ning's Mansion, and it is rare that you still know how to go back to the mansion to see your father!" ”

That time, Gu Jinxiu recklessly broke into King Ning's mansion because of Gu Huai's slap, although Qi Hao didn't embarrass her, but she only did it for Gu Jinli's sake.

If it is replaced by someone else, it will definitely be dismantled......

However, Qi Hao did not pursue Gu Jinxiu's crime of trespassing into the palace, and let her go so easily, not because of Gu Jinli, why?

It can be seen from that dinner in the palace that now Gu Jinli is not only not living in dire straits, but on the contrary, she is like a fish in water, and she is very free!

Looking at her outfit today, tsk, it's even more eye-catching than herself, the prime minister's wife!

Gu Jinxiu originally thought that she didn't teach Gu Jinli a good lesson when she went to King Ning's Mansion last time, but now that she is on her own territory, this is an excellent opportunity to teach her a good lesson, but when she saw that the eldest lady was about to go to the flower hall, she also followed.

After all, compared to humiliating Gu Jinli, it is more important to have King Xuan on the tip of his heart.

When passing by Gu Jinli's side, Gu Jinxiu rarely didn't linger like before, but glared at her, only cursed the little slut and walked out of the room.

"Huh!" Gu Jinli raised her eyebrows, and she wanted to roll her eyes like Lin Sheng.

If Gu Huai hadn't come to this Bihua Courtyard by herself, she wouldn't have bothered to take the initiative to come over to say hello!

Now that the owner of the house is gone, there is no reason for me, who is already unpopular, to stay here.

Shaking her head, she also walked out of Bihua Courtyard.

However, just a few steps away, a figure suddenly jumped in front of him.

"Oh yes, girl, stay here!" The man was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, with a pair of slitted eyes with a mouse-like essence, oily hair and powdered face, and a thin figure.

Gu Jinli frowned unconsciously, took a step back, and said coldly, "What's the matter with Childe?" ”

The man looked Gu Jinli up and down carefully, and then touched his short chin while smiling inappropriately: "You should be Jinxiu, right?" ”

Gu Jinli has lived in the Xiangfu for four years, but she has never met this person.

Looking at his dress, I really can't guess his identity.

Without answering the man's question, Gu Jinli asked again, "Who is the son?" What's holding me back? ”

"Cousin Jinxiu, I'm my cousin!" Seeing Gu Jinli's cold appearance, the man couldn't help but step forward and take her hand, intending to describe the affection of his cousin and sister.

"Hehe......" As soon as she heard the man's cordial "cousin" and "cousin", Gu Jinli instantly understood the man's identity.

Jiang Yuansheng, the grandson of the Guogong Mansion, is also the only seedling of the Jiang family.

Therefore. has been pampered and willful since childhood, and now it is a full wine bag and rice bag.

"Cousin, you were cute when you were a child, and now that you've grown up, you're really a big beauty!" Touching Gu Jinli's little hand, Jiang Yuansheng smiled more and more obscenely.

Gu Jinli endured the greasy nausea in her heart, brushed Jiang Yuansheng's hand away, pulled her lips and smiled: "It turned out to be my cousin!" ”

"Alas, you have rarely returned to the Gongfu in recent years, and even when you go back, you wear a veil every time." Jiang Yuansheng looked at Gu Jinli's face that was alluring to the city and the country. The tone was very regretful: "I knew that my cousin's fate was so standard, I should have asked my mother to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage before you married King Ning." ”

A flash of disgust flashed in Gu Jinli's eyes, and she said with a smile: "Cousin, you are still the same as when you were a child, you like to joke so much. ”

She is not really Gu Jinxiu, so naturally she doesn't know what happened between Gu Jinxiu and Jiang Yuansheng many years ago.

But since Jiang Yuansheng regarded her as Gu Jinxiu, this shows that the eldest lady did not let Jiang Yuansheng know about the marriage.

It's right to think about it now, after all, Jiang Yuansheng is an unreliable person, and it is said that he has wanted to see Gu Jinxiu's appearance many times, so the doctor personally instructed the people in the Jiang family who knew not to tell others about this matter for the time being.

It's okay for Jiang Yuansheng to admit that he was wrong, so that he won't help Gu Jinxiu bully himself......

When she had no choice but to do so, she could also use Jiang Yuansheng to deal with Gu Jinxiu......

"Cousin, do you still remember, you were only seven years old at that time, and you came to me......" The soft little hand in his hand was gone, although Jiang Yuansheng was reluctant, but fortunately he didn't continue to entangle, but he also changed his expression, but danced with a chaotic gesture, chattering about Gu Jinxiu's interesting things that happened with Jiang Yuansheng in the Guogong Mansion when he was seven years old.

Gu Jinli didn't interrupt in a hurry, but nodded and echoed a few words. "Cousin, the feast is about to start, I have to go back." ”

"Huh? I'm going back so soon! Jiang Yuansheng's face was very disappointed when he heard that Gu Jinli was leaving, but soon he resumed his eyebrows and danced: "Cousin, although we can't eat at the same table, we are both in the same flower hall." ”

"Let's go, let's talk as we go." After that, he actually took Gu Jinli's hand again.

"......" Gu Jinli opened her mouth, and just wanted to shake off Jiang Yuansheng's hand, but suddenly heard Jiang Yuansheng scream.

Immediately afterwards, he clutched his wrists in pain, looking around, and shouted "ouch, ouch", "Who dares to sneak attack Young Master Ben behind his back?!" ”

Qi Hao came out of the bluestone path on the side, still with his hands behind his back, but the look on his face seemed to come out of a cold ice cave, and he couldn't be colder.

Gu Jinli obviously watched Qi Hao leave just now, thinking that he had just returned to the banquet, but she didn't expect to see him again at the gate of the eldest lady's courtyard, and there was something unspeakable growing in her heart.

Jiang Yuansheng had seen Qi Hao before, and after seeing him, he immediately "banged", knelt on the ground, and trembled: "The villain has seen Ning...... Lord Ning. ”

Qi Hao's two eyes fell on Gu Jinli without any temperature, and said quietly: "I haven't finished taking this king to the courtyard just now, who let you talk nonsense with idlers here?" ”

As soon as Jiang Yuansheng heard Qi Hao's words, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "I'm Jinxiu's cousin, and I'm not other irrelevant people, what's wrong with saying a few words." ”

"What's wrong?" Qi Hao snorted coldly. Displeased: "If you marry this king, you are the king's woman!" ”

"Even if it's your own brother, you have to pay attention to the difference between men and women!"

When he said this, he had three points.

First, it was for Jiang Yuansheng to listen to, and asked his cousin to pay attention to some proportions.

The second is to tell Gu Jinli that she must not get too close to Gu Chengen or Gu Nianshi and others.

Third, and the most important point, is to declare sovereignty in front of Jiang Yuansheng!

With a flick of his sleeves, Qi Hao turned around and left.

Gu Jin's eyes moved, and the brain that had become imperfect in front of Qi Hao today finally comprehended it once.

"Cousin, I'm really sorry, I'll not talk about it yet." Knowing that this was Qi Hao relieving himself, Gu Jinli smiled apologetically at Jiang Yuansheng because of this, and then quickly followed behind.

"Hey, cousin!" Obviously, there is still a chance to return to the flower hall, who would have thought that a Qi Hao would appear halfway through?

shouted at Gu Jinli's back, seeing that she didn't look back, Jiang Yuansheng secretly scolded in his heart what time is this, the banquet is about to start, but Qi Hao took Gu Jinli to the courtyard?

Pouting, Jiang Yuansheng walked to the hall unhappily.

On the other side, Gu Jinli and Qi Hao were walking side by side in the backyard.

I don't know if Gu Jinli felt embarrassed, or Qi Hao did it on purpose, in short, the two of them walked extremely slowly.

When passing by Gu Jinyu's Yihe Courtyard, Gu Jinli finally took the lead in breaking the silence, pointing to the courtyard and saying, "Lord Wang, this is the courtyard of the third sister." ”

continued to walk forward, and arrived at Gu Chengen's Qingfeng Courtyard again, she continued: "This is the eldest brother's courtyard Qingfeng ......"

"Your ...... Where is your second sister Gu Jinli's yard? Qi Hao moved her lips, almost revealing her real name, but fortunately, she changed the object in time when the words came to her mouth.

"Huh?" Gu Jinli looked at Qi Hao puzzled, thought for a while, and said, "Since I got married, Jinli no longer lives alone in Liuli Courtyard. ”

"Her mother cherished her, so she moved to Bihua Courtyard so that she could be with her mother."

"Oh." Qi Hao nodded, and said, "Let's go, take this king to have a look." ”

"Huh?" Gu Jinli's eyes widened, and she said incredulously: "Lord Wang, what are you doing there?" ”

Qi Hao hooked his lips and said with a puzzled expression: "It's just curious." ”

Gu Jinli hesitated for a moment, and had no choice but to say, "Then please ask the prince to come with me." ”

Qi Hao said "um" and followed Gu Jinli in the direction of Liuli Courtyard.
