"Jinxiu!"

Gu Nianshi knew that Gu Jinxiu had always liked to trouble Gu Jinli the most, so he dragged her arm again, gloomy

With a face, he said: "Jinli rarely goes back to the house once, you don't want to make another incident." ”

Gu Jinxiu didn't expect Gu Nianshi to stop her again, a pair of beautiful eyes glared at him fiercely, and her tone was very displeased: "Let go!" ”

Gu Nianshi frowned, and for the first time taught in the tone of his brother: "Big brother is no longer there, if you still have a little."

Heart, it's better to be more at ease lately, and do less things to block my father. ”

"Hehe, the eldest brother is gone, and then you can inherit the family business of this prime minister's mansion instead of him?" Gu Jinxiu's expression was disdainful

opened Gu Nianshi's hand and sneered: "A concubine is a concubine, and he will never be on the stage!" ”

"Even if the eldest brother is gone, the Prime Minister's Mansion still has a mother, and me, nothing will fall into your hands!"

"I advise you, it's better to die of this heart as soon as possible!"

She is not a person who is willing to give up, but Gu Jinli has run away, and she must have gone to visit Gu Huai.

Because of Gu Chengen's matter, Gu Huai didn't think about tea and dinner for the past few days, and he was in a trance. I haven't recovered from my grief yet.

The eldest lady is even more serious to the point where she washes her face with tears every day, and her spirit seems to be in trouble.

Although Gu Jinxiu was also sad, she only shed a few tears when she first heard the news, hugged the eldest lady and cried bitterly

field, and then pounced on King Xuan again.

Gu Jinli is now gone, she must have arrived in Gu Huai's courtyard, if she chases after her again, she will provoke Gu Huai

When she was angry, there must be no good fruit to eat, so she was let go.

Otherwise, according to her temperament, where can Gu Jinli be allowed to leave?

Living under the same roof for so many years, to wear a mask and disguise yourself as a well-informed lady is simply suffering.

When he thought about Gu Nian, Gu Jinxiu just looked down on him in his heart before, but now he just broke out.

A concubine, what qualifications does he have to teach her?

What about an argument in person? Doesn't matter!

After that, she no longer chased Gu Jinli, but bumped Gu Nianshi with her shoulder, and went directly to her yard.

Gu Nianshi watched Gu Jinxiu leave, sighed heavily, and smiled bitterly.

In the study. After Gu Jinli saluted Gu Huai, she looked at the dark green under his eyes, and said distressedly: "Father, the matter has come."

So, you don't have to be sad anymore, your body is important. ”

Gu Huai pulled his lips, and a forced smile appeared on his vicissitudes of life: "Ah Li, my father is fine, wait a few days."

The son is fine. ”

Suddenly thinking of something, he took out a slender brocade box from the cabinet, handed it to Gu Jinli and said, "Tomorrow is your birth."

Chen, my father originally wanted to send someone to Ning Wang's Mansion, but if you are here today, then bring it back. ”

Gu Jinli was stunned, moved in her heart, and opened the box after saying "thank you, father" in a low voice.

I saw a picture scroll lying inside, unfolding the scroll, Gu Jinli was puzzled: "This is?" ”

Gu Huai's eyes dimmed, "When your mother was young. ”

After Gu Jinli heard this, her hands trembled, and tears also fell "in a stream".

"Father......" In front of Gu Huai, Gu Jinli never seemed to have cried, but at this time she couldn't cry anymore.

Gu Huai patted Gu Jinli's shoulder and said softly: "This painting was painted by someone when your mother was young. ”

"Now that you are in the Ning Palace, your father can no longer be by your side, so let your mother's portrait accompany you and miss her

time, you can take a look. ”

The woman on the picture is dressed in white, her black hair is light, and her smart eyes are shining with moving light. Stunning looks

Like a fairy in the sky.

Since her mother had been wrapped in a long robe from head to toe for many years, she had only heard her mother for as long as she could remember

voice, I have not seen the true face of my mother.

My father said that she was six or seven points similar to her mother, but when she saw her mother's portrait, she felt that she was not even compared

On the mother's charm......

Holding the portrait tightly in her arms, Gu Jinli cried so much that she couldn't help herself.

Gu Huai knew that Gu Jinli had experienced so many big and small things for so long, and she must have been depressed in her heart

full of grievances, so I thought it was a good thing to cry, so as not to suffocate people.

I don't know how long I've been crying, in short, Gu Jinli's voice is already hoarse.

Gu Huai poured her a cup of tea and silently put it aside, "Ah Li, last time you went back to the house with Prince Ning, my father could see it."

Come, he's very different to you now. ”

"Father ......" inexplicably, Gu Jinli's heart jumped.

She didn't know what Gu Huai was trying to express, and her hand holding the teacup was so nervous that her palms were sweating.

Sensing Gu Jinli's tense expression, a trace of struggle flashed in Gu Huai's eyes, and after a long time, he said with a complicated expression: "Ah."

Glass...... If you really fall in love with Qi Hao, then follow your own heart! ”

Gu Huai's meaning is to let Gu Jinli make her own decisions.

Her body trembled, she looked at him in disbelief, and her heart rippled as if she had been thrown into a stone.

She...... Can you really fall in love with Qi Hao?

She wanted to ask Gu Huai this question, but her throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton soaked in water

All the same, no sound can be made.

Even the heartbeat unconsciously accelerated.

Gu Huai's words were tempting with three points. The rest of the true heart is mixed with unspeakable contradictions and suffering.

In all fairness, Gu Jinli is better than Gu Jinxiu in terms of talent and temperament.

And he owes Gu Jinli too much over the years, so after noticing that Gu Jinli seems to be moved by Qi Hao, he

Thought about taking advantage of her.

But after losing Gu Chengen, he suddenly felt that as long as Gu Jinli could be happy, this would be enough.

After all, this life is too short, and there are not many happy people left, so why add another one?

It's just that if Gu Jinli really chooses to be with Qi Hao, then their father and daughter will be on opposite sides in the future

One side......

When King Xuan and Qi Hao reach the point where the net is really broken, and you live and die, family affection will become unbearable in the face of interests

One-Hit ......

Clenching her fists, Gu Jinli avoided Gu Huai's deep gaze, lowered her eyes and said, "Father, daughter...... Won't love

on his. ”

After Gu Huai heard this, a touch of joy rose in his heart, and his tone couldn't help but hurry a little: "Ah Li, you really don't like Qi Hao?" ”

Gu Jinli moved her lips, and her voice couldn't hear joy and anger: "Father, my daughter won't embarrass you." ”

She didn't answer this question head-on, not because she deliberately avoided it, but because she was in love with Qi Hao

A question, even she herself is not sure now, what else is there to talk about?

In the future, there are many possibilities, and she doesn't know what will happen to her and Qi Hao, so she can only give a pertinent answer.

When Gu Huai heard it in his ears, he acquiesced to her, and she was firmly expressing that she would never have anything to do with Qi Hao.

Holding back a slightly excited and relieved mood, Gu Huai nodded and said no more.

Later, Gu Jinli was a little absent-minded, and after saying a few more words to Gu Huai, she left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Because his heart was not very calm, Gu Jinli dismissed the coachman and asked him to go back to King Ning's Mansion first, while he and the two

The maid walks.

Aile followed behind Gu Jinli, blinked his eyes, and said with a smile: "Miss, didn't you say it before, our yard."

Isn't that good? Come out today, can you take us to see it? ”

Gu Jinli said "um", thinking that she would soon leave Qi Hao and leave Ning Wang's Mansion, she felt a sense of boredom in her heart.

However, the three masters and servants hadn't gone far when they saw a voice behind them shouting out to them: "Concubine Gu!" ”

Gu Jinli paused, and then continued to move forward.

Aiyue saw that Gu Jinli didn't stop but walked faster, so she gently tugged at her sleeve, "Miss, it's Xuanshi."

Son! ”

With a frown, she turned around.

Chen Zexuan caught the subtle impatient expression on Gu Jinli's face, and the curvature of the corners of his lips gradually increased, "Concubine Gu, what a coincidence!" ”

The last time Gu Jinli came out alone, it was to see the yard, but she met him and Yushu, so it was delayed a lot

After a long time, when I went back, I met the hateful Yin Penglin.

Today, she was going to take Aiyue and Hexiang to go, but he stopped her.

It seems that as long as you are outside, you can always meet Chen Zexuan.

Gu Jinli began to wonder if every chance encounter was premeditated?

Seeing Chen Zexuan looking at him with a smile, Gu Jinli said lightly: "It's indeed a coincidence." ”

Looking at Gu Jinli's lukewarm attitude, Chen Zexuan didn't take it to heart, "Where is Concubine Gu going?" ”

Gu Jinli naturally couldn't say that she wanted to go to a private house, her eyes moved slightly, and she said, "Just go shopping." ”

Chen Zexuan watched Gu Jinli come out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise he wouldn't have blocked her here.

As he walked forward, he pointed to the teahouse not far away, and said with a smile: "If Concubine Gu is fine, I don't know if I can reward it."

How about having a cup of tea with this son? ”

To be honest, Gu Jinli really didn't have the heart to deal with Chen Zexuan, but his burning gaze really made her refuse.

I thought it was a few days since I came to the teahouse to see the business. He nodded.

Aiyue and Hexiang followed not far behind, looking at a man and a woman in front, and couldn't help but bite Hexiang's ears in a whisper

said: "Look, isn't it a good match for the prince and the young lady to stand together?" ”

Hexiang knew Gu Jinli's thoughts, so she glared at Aiyue seriously: "Miss is already married to the prince, you Mo."

If you want to think about it again, if you let others hear such misleading words, you can't make a lot of gossip again? ”

Aiyue pursed her lips and said disapprecantly: "I only tell you these words, if you don't say it, I won't say it, who can know?" ”

It is an eternal truth that misfortune comes from the mouth. Aiyue is a heartless person, and Hexiang is worried that she will continue to be so light and heavy

really caused an accident, and his tone was a little colder: "Do you still think that Miss doesn't have much trouble?" ”

Aiyue saw that Hexiang's face changed, and muttered, "I know, can't you not say it in the future?" ”

He Xiang also realized that her attitude was a little harsh, so she softened her voice, "You must know that Miss is in the palace."

Walking on thin ice, as maids, in addition to taking care of the young lady, we can't make trouble for the young lady if something goes wrong. ”

"Miss treats us well on weekdays, don't you say?"

Aiyue actually said it casually just now, but she didn't expect Hexiang to react so much, and she listened to what she said very sincerely

Seriously, he nodded and said, "I remember." ”

Gu Jinli walked in front, only hearing the muttering behind her, and she couldn't hear what the two maids were talking about

words, but Chen Zexuan heard it clearly.

glanced at Gu Jinli meaningfully, and the smile on his lips gradually froze.

After the two walked into the tea room, the shopkeeper greeted him warmly, "Guest officer, can you book a private room in advance?" ”

As the business of the teahouse is becoming more and more popular, the private rooms on the second floor are now booked two days in advance, and the third floor is even more important

Book five days in advance.

Although the price of the third floor is extremely high, there are many wealthy people in Beijing who like to pretend to be elegant, and they are willing to spend this money.

Chen Zexuan shook his fan and chuckled: "Is there a guest on the third floor today?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said honestly: "The third floor was booked this afternoon, and it was empty in the morning." ”

"Then it's the third floor." Chen Zexuan did not ask Gu Jinli what he meant, but walked upstairs directly under the leadership of the shopkeeper.

After going upstairs, although Aiyue and Hexiang had been here before, they could still see the exquisite and chic furnishings inside

I couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

Even in Chen Zexuan's eyes. With a touch of light, too.

In comparison, Gu Jinli's reaction was too calm.

She is the owner of the tea room, and all the furnishings and style of the tea room are designed by her, so there is nothing surprising about it.

The shopkeeper likes to admire the admiration on the faces of the guests the most, but Gu Jinli has a faint expression, which makes him

I don't feel fulfilled.

However, he had the courage to glance at Gu Jinli a few times, and for some reason the shopkeeper felt a little familiar.

However, he had never seen such a beautiful girl in his memory.

It was probably because the shopkeeper had been staring at Gu Jinli for too long, so that Chen Zexuan's eyes glanced coldly.

Shrinking his neck, the shopkeeper sneered, "The little one will go to serve tea." ”

Gu Jinli naturally knew why the shopkeeper was staring at him, and when he saw the way he looked just now, he shouldn't have recognized himself.

Sitting down by the window, she looked out the window at the bustling street scene.

"Guest, tea is here." Soon, the shopkeeper came in with a tea tray.

Chen Zexuan waved his hand and motioned for the shopkeeper to step down.

Chen Zexuan poured Gu Jinli a cup of tea, "Concubine Gu, please." ”

Picking up the teacup, Gu Jinli blew on the hot tea, and said in a deep voice: "When does Xuan Shizi plan to return to Nanyang?" ”

Chen Zexuan was stunned and said with a smile: "What." Concubine Gu just wants to drive this son away? ”

Gu Jinli smiled and was noncommittal: "Xuan Shizi stayed in Beijing and did not choose the princess, and there was no other important matter

Love, and now there are rumors in the market, what does the prince think? ”

Chen Zexuan didn't expect Gu Jinli to say this coldly, and after a moment of silence, he seemed to smile and said: "The pure one is self-purifying,

Such a ridiculous and ridiculous rumor without evidence, does Concubine Gu believe it? ”

Gu Jinli thinks that she does not have any conflict of interest with Chen Zexuan, so it has nothing to do with him whether he leaves or stays.

It's just that she doesn't have a deep friendship with him, and she really doesn't like him to look like he has a lot of friendship every time.

Besides, a person who can become the first son in the world, in addition to talent and strategy, must also be different

Ordinary people.

Nanyang has indeed grown rapidly in recent years, if there is no selfishness, I am afraid it is impossible.

No matter what Chen Zexuan wants to do, as long as he doesn't involve himself, then let him go.

Men's affairs, naturally men have to deal with.

And she is just a little woman, she just wants to live her life in peace and stability, and she does not want to participate in the war of men......

Gu Jinli took a sip of tea. Said slowly: "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, what matters is whether the emperor believes in Xuan Shizi or not."

of innocence. ”

Chen Zexuan's hand squeezing the teacup tightened, and his tone was a little lower: "The emperor Shengming, naturally he will know it in his heart." ”

Yesterday, he took Yushu into the palace to visit the eighth prince, and before leaving the palace, the old emperor deliberately left him in the imperial study

When it came to the rumor, he prevaricated in a few words.

Although the old emperor's face did not show obvious suspicion, since he opened his mouth to ask, it means that he was already suspicious.

Gu Jinli is right, he stayed in Beijing and didn't leave, if you want to talk about sightseeing, in the past month,

It's time to finish playing where you should be.

So, he had to find a valid reason.

Sighing lightly, he continued: "I won't tell you anything, my father asked Yushu to come to the capital this time because he wanted his son to be in Beijing

Find a wishful husband for her. ”

"My father is getting older, and his health is getting worse and worse, and Yushu is the pearl of his palm, so he thinks about it

Quickly find a good home for Yushu. ”

Gu Jinli thought about Yushu's delicate little face, and said sincerely: "Lord Yushu is simple and kind, and he will definitely find a good husband." ”

Chen Zexuan glanced at the brocade box that was tightly held in Aiyue's arms a few times. While pretending to be unintentional, he asked, "Jing."

The city is a place of right and wrong, and since the son of this world entered Beijing, he has seen Concubine Gu in dire straits many times. ”

"If there is a chance to leave the capital, is Concubine Gu willing?"

"Huh?" Gu Jinli's heart tightened, and she felt like a thief: "I don't quite understand what Xuan Shizi means. ”

She wanted to leave Qi Hao and leave King Ning's Mansion, but she left the capital...... I really didn't think about it.

Probably, the capital is where she has lived for many years, and she doesn't know where to go after leaving.

Nowhere is there a sense of belonging.

And in the capital, at least there is Gu Huai, who rarely cares about her relatives when she has Gu Nian......

Chen Zexuan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing." ”

He was just trying to test Gu Jinli just now, to see if she was interested in Qi Hao.

Looking at her reaction, it seems that she can't see anything for the time being.

Even if she really wanted to leave, he wouldn't let her go.

After all, she was the tool he used to contain Qi Hao......

There seems to be nothing to talk about, but Chen Zexuan still has a random topic without a word.

After chatting about half a cup of tea, Gu Jinli proposed to go back to King Ning's Mansion first.

Sure enough, Chen Zexuan showed his grace again and wanted to send her back.

Gu Jinli repeatedly refused, but she still couldn't resist Chen Zexuan's enthusiasm, so she could only agree.

As for Aiyue and Hexiang's desire to visit the courtyard, they can only wait for the next time to satisfy them.

I don't know if it was in the tea room that involved the sensitive topic of wanting to rebel, or if today's aura was not quite right, in short, Chen

Zexuan and Gu Jinli were speechless all the way.

The carriage arrived at King Ning's mansion at an unhurried speed, and it happened that Gu Jinli had just gotten out of the carriage, and she didn't have time to thank her

Hao's carriage also stopped aside.

Because he was worried that Lin Sheng would cause trouble in the palace, he went to the palace not long after Gu Jinli left the palace.

Seeing Gu Jinli get off Chen Zexuan's carriage, Qi Hao's face instantly became gloomy.

Gu Jinli's eyes flashed, and she bowed her head and saluted, "Lord Wang." ”

Qi Hao glanced at Gu Jinli, and then his gaze fell on Chen Zexuan, who had opened half of the curtain, and said quietly: "You."

Go in first, this king has something to say to Xuan Shizi. ”

"Yes." Although Gu Jinli felt that Qi Hao seemed to be a little displeased, she didn't dare to say more, so she answered, and turned around with the lotus

Xiang and Aiyue entered the palace.

With a "snap", the curtain fell, and Chen Zexuan's figure flew out of the car with lightning speed.

He landed lightly, stood in front of Qi Hao, and raised an evil smile: "I don't know what Lord Ning has to do with this."

Shizi said? ”

Qi Hao looked at his uninhibited smile and said coldly, "Stay away from her." ”

"Huh. What does this mean? Why can't this son understand? Chen Zexuan raised his eyebrows and ignored Qi Hao

Mori Han's gaze.

Taking a step forward, Qi Hao leaned over and put it next to Chen Zexuan's ear and warned: "If you want to play, this king will accompany you." ”

"However, this king does not allow you to beat her idea, let alone touch her!"

Chen Zexuan sneered and looked directly at Qi Hao, "What if this son of the world just wants to beat her?" ”

Qi Hao narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "Then don't blame this king for being polite!" ”

"It is said that heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, it seems that the ancients did not deceive me!" Chen Zexuan patted Qi Hao's shoulder, and then said, "Ha."

Hah" laughed loudly and got into the carriage.

"Drive!" The coachman raised his whip, and the carriage turned around and left.

Qi Hao watched the carriage leave, his eyes getting colder and colder.

After the carriage drove a certain distance, Chen Zexuan suddenly opened the curtains again, and looked back at Qi Hao, who was still standing in place

After that, he showed a big smile again.

That smile seemed provocative and proud.

Qi Hao unconsciously clenched his fists, flicked his sleeves, and turned back to the palace.

In the Fuyuan Courtyard, Gu Jinli had just locked the scroll in the cabinet. I only heard Aiyue come in and say, "Miss, the prince is here." ”

Gu Jinli's heart sank, and she had a feeling that Qi Hao was going to come over to Xingshi to ask for sin.

Nodding, she said she understood.

After Qi Hao came in, he looked at Gu Jinli fixedly, and there was a faint anger beating between his eyebrows.

He put his hands behind his back and said for a long time, "Where did you go today?" ”

Gu Jinli could probably guess the reason why Qi Hao was angry, and said in a low voice: "I went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit my father, and I met on the way back."

I met Xuan Shizi. ”

Qi Hao asked again, "That's all?" ”

Gu Jinli avoided Qi Hao's dark gaze and said, "I happened to pass by the tea room, so I drank a cup of tea inside." ”

Snorted coldly. Qi Hao couldn't refuse: "Tomorrow, this king will take you to Qingshui Temple." ”

Seeing Gu Jinli's puzzled face, he knew that she must have forgotten what he said he was going to take her out for a walk a few days ago.

Coughing lightly twice, Qi Hao said in a deep voice: "The golden lotus of Qingshui Temple has opened, and Master Jingkong said that the golden lotus can strengthen the body when it is used in medicine."

Healthy Body. ”

After that, he didn't wait for Gu Jinli to speak, he turned around and was about to leave, as if someone was chasing after him.

The ruthless Qi Hao, when did he explain in front of Gu Jinli?

Not only is there no explanation, but there are very few times when so many gentle words are said.

Aiyue's eyes widened, and her heart became entangled again.

Xuan Shizi is a good match for his own young lady, but the prince doesn't seem to be bad now!

Although the temperament may be awkward, it is ......

But,It feels cool and dragging.,It's like the cold male protagonist in the tea rabbit book!

When she thought of the tea and tea rabbit, Aiyue remembered that Lin Sheng was coming.

In this mansion, except for Lin Sheng, who can occasionally talk to her about a few words of tea and tea rabbits, no one else has a common language with her.

After sighing depressedly in her heart, Aiyue secretly looked at Qi Hao, and then glanced at Gu Jinli a few more times.

After glancing back and forth between the two of them for a few times, she felt that it would be good if Gu Jinli could really be with Qi Hao.

After all, Qi Hao is Gu Jinli's first man!

"Lord Wang." Just when Qi Hao was about to step out of the door, he only heard Gu Jinli say behind him: "The concubine has something to do tomorrow."

Love, forgive me for not being able to go to Kiyomizu Temple with the prince. ”

Qi Hao's eyes flashed with a touch of loss, and he pretended not to hear it, and left the room without saying a word.
