The days passed, winter went to spring, Zhinan studied with Chunyu in the house, and she was already smart and easy to do.

Zhinan, who can play the piano himself, embroiders a good hand of embroidery.

In the days when the spring flowers first bloomed, Zhinan took a satin Luo skirt embroidered with spring flowers for Gu Muqing to change. Gu Muqing looked at himself in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction.

"Zhinan's hand is really a coincidence." Gu Muqing stroked the patterns on his body and said to Zhinan, "Does it take a long time to embroider such a skirt?" ”

Zhinan squatted on the ground and arranged the skirt on the ground for Gu Muqing.

"Madam, this dress was embroidered by me every night after you rested, and it took about half a month to embroider it."

Gu Muqing didn't expect Zhinan not only to embroider well, but also so fast, she happily took Zhinan's hand, saying that she liked white camellia the most, and now it was going to be summer, so she wanted Zhinan to embroider a silk skirt for herself, and Zhinan agreed.

Chunyu, who happened to be carrying the washbasin, passed by the window next to Gu Muqing's closet and heard the conversation between Gu Muqing and Zhinan just now. She stomped her foot angrily and turned back to her room.

Since the day Zhinan became a wife and maid, everything he had to divide into two parts.

The house should live with Zhinan, and although the lady rewarded him with the same amount of silver as on weekdays, Zhinan's share was the same as his own; Zhinan also knows some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, in the past, when Mrs. painted and played the piano, she was serving by the side, and since then there has been another Zhinan by Mrs.'s side, and sometimes even let Zhinan play and sing, these are all treatments that she has not had before.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she felt that Zhinan had snatched Mrs. from her side of her share of kindness to her.

remembered that Zhinan said just now that he wanted to embroider another skirt for his wife, and he couldn't help but secretly make an calculation in his heart.

……

On the other side, the Prime Minister's Mansion, in the days after the Feast of Bliss, Zun Motian only occasionally paid a private visit to Weifu, and he was able to go to Gu Muqi's mansion to see her, and after the two of them were inseparable, Zun Motian told her to let her wait, and when the time was ripe, he would come to the Xiangfu to propose marriage.

She counted the fruit tree at the door of her house every day, watching the fruit on the tree ripen and fall, and the new branches and shoots that came out after the snow was white.

When she was about to give up, the paper book she had been thinking about for a long time was finally sent to the house in a sedan chair by Gonggong Li beside Zun Motian on this bright spring afternoon.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, the Gu family has a daughter, virtuous and virtuous, diligent and supple, gentle and gentle, beautiful and clear, and immediately canonized as a noble person, five days later on a good day and an auspicious day can enter the palace, Qin this."

Prime Minister Gu Cheng knelt on the ground and took the holy decree, his eyes were full of tears, and after thanking Gonggong Li, he took Gu Muqi's hand and walked into his study, and said something to her father who had not spoken to her for so many years.

"Hello."

He called Gu Muqi's milk name, took Gu Muqi's hand and made her sit beside him.

"Since your sister married into the Xuanwang Mansion, I have been worrying about your life's affairs day and night, your sister was assigned to marry, and she married much earlier than you, because my father knows that as the eldest sister in the family, you are not living a good life."

He looked at Gu Muqi with teary eyes, thinking that when she was such a small person, his mother was gone.

has been raised by Mrs. Zhou's side for so many years, although it is good to treat her, but after all, she is not her biological mother, and she naturally suffers more in her heart.

"You have been doing everything that the eldest sister in the family should do for so many years, being filial to your parents, being responsible for your sister, not fighting or grabbing, and now you can marry into the palace, which is also a matter of your father's heart."

"There is no male baby in our family, you have suffered a lot as an eldest sister since you were a child, this time you can marry into the palace, you must be tougher in the future, don't be afraid of those women in the palace, as long as your father is in the position of the prime minister for a day, you will not be wronged for a day."

Gu Muqing lowered her head and quietly shed tears, most of her father's good things over the years have been given to her sister, once upon a time she felt that she was the superfluous one in this family.

Now that I heard my father say so many heartfelt words to myself, I couldn't help but vent all the helplessness of so many years of forbearance.

She cried and knelt in front of Prime Minister Gu and shook her head deeply to her father.

"You're going to enter the palace in five days, go to the Xuanwang Mansion to meet your sister, she has been a wife for almost three years, and she can teach you some experience more or less, and you are also older, and it is naturally inconvenient to talk to you more about some things as a father."

Prime Minister Gu Cheng helped Gu Muqi up from the ground and held her hand.

He knew that this might be the last few handshakes in their father's and daughter's lives, and he, the father, owed his eldest daughter too much in this life.

He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, accompanied Gu Muqi all the way back to her boudoir, and watched her sit in the carriage bound for King Xuan's mansion.

"Madam, someone at the door came to report that the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Gu was coming to visit you in the mansion."

Zhinan reported to Gu Muqing, who was teasing birds in the yard.

Chunyu on the side snorted, "Prime Minister Gu's concubine is our lady's sister, I don't know how to serve by my wife's side?" ”

Gu Muqing patted Chunyu lightly, and hurriedly turned back to Zhinan and said.

"Bring my sister to the courtyard, I haven't seen my sister for a long time, prepare more good dishes in the evening."

She watched Zhinan trot all the way out of her pavilion, and said to Chunyu with a straight face, "Chunyu, don't be embarrassed by Zhinan, I hope the relationship between the two of you is better than mine, after all, you are the people who have been living together in the future, you don't want to target her everywhere." ”

Chunyu pouted on the side, "It was originally hers, but Mrs. excused her like this." ”

Seeing Chunyu's stingy appearance, Gu Muqing didn't want to pay much attention to her, put away the melon seeds in his hand to tease the bird, threw off his sleeves and walked in the direction of the door to welcome Gu Muqi's arrival.

Gu Muqi stood at the door of King Xuan's Mansion in a daze, looking at the ** quiet seven-foot-high mansion gate.

Thinking that the life he was about to live was ten thousand times better than this, he couldn't help but smile unconsciously.

Chirping...... With the sound of the door opening, she saw a woman of extraordinary temperament walking towards her as if she had stepped out of a painting, dressed in the clothes of a maid.

"Miss Gu, our lady is invited."

She subconsciously felt a little unhappy with the woman in front of her, and put this bad mood away. It's just a maid, why bother her with her good mood today.
