When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly: "It's such a long time. Who remembers clearly? ”

When Jin Yehou saw her like this, he felt that he was too careful, he looked down at the book in his hand, and couldn't help but think; The book had been returned two months ago, and he didn't know anything about it, and if he had seen it at that time, he would have called his wife to ask about it, so that Xi'er wouldn't have to suffer so much.

Thinking. Jin Yehou felt guilty in his heart, he glanced at Gu Ruoxi, and said apologetically: "Xi'er, my father has a lot of official affairs on weekdays and doesn't take good care of you, and my father apologizes to you here." ”

However, Gu Ruoxi knew that Jinye Hou was really busy, so busy that even his mother rarely saw him, it was common for this person not to return to the house for ten days and a half months, and he didn't know what happened in the house at all, what did she have to blame?

What's more, even Gu Yuetong doesn't get much more love than her.

Thinking about it, she stepped forward, grabbed Kazuha Hou's hand and said, "Father, don't say that!" How dare your daughter blame you? This time. You can pick up your daughter and live in the hospital, so that your daughter is always by your side, and your daughter is already very satisfied. ”

She didn't say that it was okay, as soon as she said that Jinye Hou remembered that she was in the plum forest just now, Gu Ruoxi stalked and said that she would not live long, which was like a last wish, Jinye Hou felt a burst of sadness in his heart, he patted his daughter's little hand, and said solemnly: "You can rest assured." Father will definitely find someone to cure your illness well, and my daughter will definitely live a long time! ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she knew that he was from the heart, and she couldn't help but be moved in her heart, and said with tears: "Father, I know. ”

As for why the book appeared on his desk, or in the most conspicuous position, Kazuha Hou had forgotten to ask.

At lunchtime, the father and daughter ate together outside the study, and both of them ate happily at this meal.

At this time, in the plum garden of Huangzhuang in the eastern suburbs, the queen mother was leading a group of ladies and daughters in the court. Walking slowly in the patchwork of plum forests, it is like walking in a sea of fragrant snow, there is a scene in the eyes, there is incense, and everyone said that they were very happy.

Gu Yuetong, as the future crown princess, and she will marry in two months, she is the most dazzling and eye-catching among this group of daughters. And has always been by the queen's side, attracting the surrounding daughters to envy and jealousy.

What is envious is that Gu Yuetong was born in a family like Jinye Houfu, and she is so born and fallen, jealous that this woman who wants to marry Prince Xuanyuan Yan as the crown princess has crossed the river for many days, but because of a holy decree of the emperor, this honor will always belong to Gu Yuetong, the eldest lady of Jinye Houfu, and the rest of the people only have envy.

Gu Yuetong saw the jealousy and envy in the eyes of the young ladies, and couldn't help but feel in her heart

It was only at this time that she could forget that what Xuanyuan Yan had in her heart was only Gu Ruoxi, which made her sad.

Coming to the banquet today, Gu Yuetong was wearing a long embroidered dress with a cumbersome pattern and gold thread embroidered on the ground that several girls selected for her yesterday, with fairy snails and sideburns on her head, exquisite makeup and gorgeous clothes, which set off her like a fairy descending to earth, and compared all the women.

Of course, this is what she wants, how can the future crown princess not be outstanding?

But Gu Yuetong was triumphant, but she forgot that this was a plum banquet held by the queen, and they were all women, who didn't have jealousy in their hearts? Let other people's elegance compare to themselves, even if it is the queen, they will be unhappy and unwilling in their hearts.

If Gu Ruoxi was here today, she would definitely be low-key and couldn't be more low-key, and she couldn't wait for everyone to notice her. But Gu Yuetong is not her, and she doesn't know what low-key is at all.

Besides, the queen prepared this banquet today, originally to select the princess for the third prince Xuanyuan Chun, so she invited so many young ladies from the family to come here, which lady here doesn't know, but Gu Yuetong doesn't know anything about it, she only has one thing in her heart, that is, she has suppressed everyone's limelight, and she doesn't know that this has become a taboo for the queen.

All the young ladies who are ready to choose themselves have been compared to the future crown princess, can this not make the queen angry? The first thing that came to her mind was that her own son, even the princess had to choose someone else?

It's a pity that there are so many daughters, and the queen really hasn't found one who can beat Gu Yuetong, no matter how good her family is or what she looks like.

Since it can't be compared, then it can only ruin her! Do others dare to say that their son is inferior to the crown prince? If her son wants to marry the princess, he will naturally marry someone who overwhelms Gu Yuetong!

Thinking about it, a sharp glint suddenly flashed in the queen's eyes. However, the next moment, she smiled gently and sweetly, and she was still the gentle and harmless queen mother. Throw the help of miscellaneous talents.

Everyone has been enjoying the flowers in the plum forest until noon, and then they have sat down in a temple on the edge of the plum forest, the house is burning a brazier, the house is warm and fragrant, it turns out that the queen ordered someone to roast a fawn in the house, and the doors and windows around are wide open, the fragrance is everywhere, and the beautiful scenery outside is also in sight one by one, so the leaf row, but also surprising.

When she sat down, the queen unexpectedly suddenly spoke, and Qin Ruoyun, the daughter of Lord Qin, sat beside her, and called several other women from the family, while Gu Yuetong was left out in the cold.

Although Gu Yuetong had a smile on her face, her smile was a little stiff.

There is a bottle of plum blossoms on the low table in front of him, as well as a plate of barbecue, and a pot of plum wine, the meat is specially ordered by the palace people after the roast, and the wine has been prepared a long time ago. However, Gu Yuetong looked at it and was a little unate, she really couldn't tolerate it

Someone else's limelight overshadows oneself. But seeing that everyone around her was so happy to eat, she reluctantly picked up a piece of meat from the plate on the table.

Before she could reach her mouth, she heard the queen smile on her head and say: "Such a beautiful view, coupled with roast venison wine, is really a great joy in life, but there are some shortcomings in the ointment." As he spoke, he sighed.

Immediately, a lady asked, "Queen Mother, what's the fly in the ointment?" ”

When the queen heard this, she immediately smiled and said: "It would be great if someone could play a song, the beautiful sound of the piano and the beautiful scenery in it, I don't know how many people will make it unforgettable!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, many people at the bottom were eager to try, and it seemed that everyone wanted to get this opportunity to please the queen.

But at this moment, the queen suddenly said with a smile: "Miss Gu, I heard that your piano skills are unparalleled in the world, I don't know if this palace has ever been lucky enough to hear your piano sound today?" ”

"I can play the piano for the queen and everyone, and the courtiers are very happy!" When Gu Yuetong heard this, she immediately stood up from the embroidery pier, and at this moment, she didn't know if she was in too much of a hurry or something, and suddenly there was a sound of "stabbing -" in everyone's ears.

Gu Yuetong glanced down at her skirt, but saw that she didn't know when there was a big hole in the hem of the skirt, and the snow-white undershirt she was wearing was exposed.

The ladies immediately lowered their heads and laughed.

Even the queen couldn't help laughing: "Miss Gu, what's wrong with you?" This palace just asked you to play the piano, you are so anxious, take a look, is your clothes torn? ”

Her words focused everyone's eyes on Gu Yuetong.

Gu Yuetong's face turned red all of a sudden, she had never been so ugly on such a big occasion! She turned her head and glared at Ruyi beside her, she chose this skirt for herself, why didn't she take a good look at it before choosing? If it wasn't broken before, how can it suddenly tear now?

Ruyi was shocked when she came into contact with her eyes, and hurriedly explained: "Miss! When the slave maid chose it yesterday, this skirt was still good! The slave really doesn't know anything......"

It's okay that she doesn't explain, but as soon as she explains, everyone's gaze at Gu Yuetong is even more intriguing.

Gu Yuetong's face was on fire, and she almost cried when she stood there.

The queen sat on the top, slowly admiring Gu Yuetong's panic and helplessness, and couldn't help but feel proud in her heart, this Miss Gu is good at everything, but she lacks the ability to adapt! The mind doesn't seem to be very high, and it can't be compared with Qin Ruoyun, the daughter of the Zhongshu Ling that he fancies.

Her purpose has been achieved, and she didn't want to embarrass her anymore at the moment, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, Miss Gu, the skirt was accidentally torn, this is not a big deal, you don't have to be too sad, Mama Zhang, you take Miss Gu to the apse to change clothes." ”

Hearing this, a gorgeously dressed old lady came out and invited Ye Dao: "Miss Gu, please." ”

Gu Yuetong was extremely embarrassed and stretched out her hand to pull the tattered skirt, and slowly followed Mama Zhang and walked out, all the way to accept the curious or inquiring eyes of everyone, of course, there were many people gloating.

The queen sat on the top, the smile on her lips became thicker and thicker, and when Mama Zhang turned her head, she quietly glanced over.

Mama Zhang will understand.

Gu Yuetong followed behind him slowly, all the way out of the main hall, Ruyi naturally followed by the side, carrying a burden in her hand, which was the clothes she prepared just in case, which came in handy at this time.

Gu Yuetong walked out, while constantly thinking in her mind, what went wrong, the material of the clothes was not a parallel goods that broke at the touch of a touch, but the emperor personally rewarded the Hou Mansion, her mother ordered someone to make clothes for her, she had seen it with Ruyi yesterday, the clothes were very good, there was no intention of cracking at all, and the most important thing was that she had not worn this dress once since it was made to the present!

She wore it out today for the occasion, but she didn't expect it......

The more Gu Yuetong thought about it, the more unwilling she became, she couldn't swallow this sulking breath, no matter who was making trouble behind her back, she was so ugly today, as long as she found out, she would never let it go!

She thought about her thoughts all the way, but she didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment, and when she realized it, the grandmother had already taken her out of the palace just now.

Gu Yuetong was taken aback, and immediately asked, "Mama Zhang, didn't the queen mother just say that she changed her clothes in this apse?" Where are you taking me? ”

Mama Zhang glanced back at her, smiled gently, and said, "Miss Gu, don't be impatient, the big hall just now is the place where the queen mother herself used to change her clothes and rest, how can Miss Gu go?" Do you say so? ”

Since it was a place for the queen herself to rest, she naturally couldn't go. Gu Ruoxi said gloomily: "Oh, so that's the case, then, where are we going now?" ”

"There!" Mama Zhang stretched out her hand and walked towards a palace not far ahead.

Gu Yuetong nodded, and was about to follow, when Ruyi on the side suddenly reached out and pulled her sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Miss!" You can't go there! Today, the sons of the family are admiring the plum ...... in that direction":

Ruyi's meaning, Gu Yuetong understood it at once, she raised her head and glared at Mama Zhang angrily, and said, "Mama, what do you mean?" ”

Mama Zhang saw that she was angry, but she still had a calm face: "Miss Gu, the slave maid is just acting on orders, and has no other meaning, your maid said that the front of the palace is a place for the sons of the family to enjoy the plums, that is complete nonsense!" How could our mother let the young lady go to such a place to change her clothes? ”

"You mean, the sons of the family, aren't there?" Gu Yuetong suppressed the anger in her heart

。

Mama Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Gu." ”

Gu Yuetong's eyes rolled, and she suddenly said: "Mama Zhang, I know, just change clothes there, I'll go over by myself, you go back and report to the queen!" ”

Unexpectedly, Mama Zhang heard this, but she didn't move, she said lightly: "Miss Gu, since Niangniang ordered me to personally serve Miss to change clothes, then ask Ye Quan to bring you back, how can the old slave give up halfway?" ”

When Gu Yuetong heard this, she had already sensed that something was wrong, especially when she saw her maid Ruyi's pale face. She settled down, suddenly smiled, and said: "Mama's loyalty to Niangniang can be expressed, I'm not afraid of your hard work?" ”

"Miss Gu, there is nothing hard for the slave maid, but since the mother has commanded it, then the slave must accompany you well, and never dare to leave half a step. Otherwise, if something happens to Miss Gu, the slave will die! Mama Zhang lowered her head and neck, but her voice was very firm.

When Gu Yuetong heard this, she was really angry in her heart, if this was in the mansion, and Mama Zhang was not a person from the queen's side but a descendant of the Gu family, she would definitely scold and order someone to drag this Mama Zhang down and beat her to death! But at this moment, she could only suppress the anger in her heart, and strive to maintain the majesty of her eldest lady of the ancient family, the future crown princess, and said in a calm voice: "I also know Mama's kindness, but there is indeed a prince of the family playing there in front of the hall over there." Look, the voices are coming, didn't Mama hear it? ”

As if to cooperate with her, there were a few faint voices from the palace not far away, and the voice was low and mellow, and it was a man when he heard it.

However, Mama Zhang's face did not change: "Miss Gu, that is just the voice of the palace people and the guards, Miss is too worried." ”

"Oh? The palace people and guards could actually make a loud noise in the palace not far from the queen's mother? Who gave it to them? Gu Yuetong blinked and smiled sarcastically.

Mama Zhang thought about it. said: "Miss Gu, this slave is not clear. It's just that the queen told you to change your clothes over there, and now you don't want to go over, how is this good? ”

Gu Yuetong stood there, glanced sideways at Mama Zhang, and said lightly: "Mama, just above the main hall, the queen mother said herself, let me change clothes here, but Mama just let me go to the palace where there are men to change clothes!" I don't know what Mama means! ”

"Miss Gu, the slave maid is still the same sentence, this is what the mother ordered, whether the young lady is willing to change her clothes or not, it is up to you." Seeing that Gu Yuetong was obviously angry, Mama Zhang was still calm.

"Huh!" Gu Yuetong sneered. Immediately remembered what her mother had told her when she went out today.

She is the future crown princess, but the queen is the fourth prince Xuanyuan Chun, with different positions and opposites, the queen will definitely not help her, and she is almost the same in secret calculations!

Because of this sentence

, Gu Yuetong refused to take Mama Zhang to take herself to the palace where men haunted to change clothes, and the matter is now. She already understands that she can't please today, she has been out for so long, the queen will naturally not wait, at this moment there must be other daughters in the hall performing programs, and she is the laughing stock that everyone talks about in private!

The more Gu Yuetong thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't wait to rush back and question the queen fiercely! However, she held back, it was the queen of the dynasty, fighting with her, it was simply hitting a stone with an egg! The most urgent task now is to quickly think of ways to solve the crisis at hand.

Her skirt is torn, and she doesn't have a place to change her clothes, what should she do? What is she going to do?

Gu Yuetong was worried. When there was nothing to be done, Ruyi on the side suddenly whispered: "Miss, or we won't change our clothes, the slave maid also has a cloak in her baggage, you put it on first, so you can resist it for a while, and then talk about it when you go back." ”

Even Ruyi saw that something was wrong.

When Gu Yuetong heard this, she immediately frowned: "Since you have a cloak, why didn't you say it earlier!" ”

Ruyi glanced down at her and said: "Miss, it's not that the slave refuses to say, you know, wait a minute, you are going back to the main hall, where there is barbecue, there is a brazier, the room is very hot, all the young ladies have taken off their cloaks, but you are wearing a cloak, so it will not only be hot, but also very embarrassing." ”

When Gu Yuetong heard this, she began to shake her head: "No!" How can this be done! "She didn't want to go back and continue to be the laughing stock of everyone.
