Chapter 156: Cold Heart
After Ji Yunyi came back from the palace, it was already late at night, standing under the dark window of the bedroom, and for a long time, he silently turned around and left.
Gui Mingyue didn't sleep all night, groggy until the sky was bright, and she couldn't get up with a splitting headache.
"Young grandma, it's time to get up," Grandma Jiang had to come in and urge, and said, "Today's bride tea, you can't help but go." ”
"Where are you going?" Yin Shen'er put the copper basin in his hand on the table with a clatter, and said hatefully: "Why did you let the young lady go to see the person who didn't want to do it." ”
"But if you don't go, will it make them think that our young lady is cowardly, and deliberately avoid her edge." Grandma Jiang said worriedly: "Miss, let's go, it's all in the same yard, if you don't look up and look down, you can't hide and see it for the rest of your life." ”
"Shen'er, fetch a basin of well water, I want to wash." Gui Mingyue lay on the couch and said almost inaudiblely.
Did he do well as the groom officer this night? It must be a concubine.
"But, Miss, the well water is too cold...... "Silver Pendant said sadly, Miss is most afraid of the cold.
"It's okay, just go," the well water was cold, compared to the coolness coming from her chest.
When Jin Qi'er put on Gui Ming's makeup, she deliberately applied an extra layer of rouge, and the young lady taught her how to make up on weekdays, and this time she also mixed green indigo with rose oil, and slightly mentioned it in the corner of Gui Mingyue's eyes.
When Gui Mingyue looked in the mirror, she couldn't help laughing, she was obviously in the main room, so she had to dress herself up as a demon concubine.
Also, Gui Mingyue's eyes themselves are oblique flying eyes with a hint of charm, and with the addition of two "eyeliner" decorations, it is more like a hook-like witch.
Grandma Jiang brought Gui Mingyue her favorite smoke-red Luo skirt gown, Gui Mingyue waved her hand, and suddenly felt red, a little stinging in her brain. In the end, I chose a snow-blue silver gown, a mouse-gray silk long skirt, a high bun, and only a white jade hairpin.
Such an elegant and pure color takes advantage of the wilting and lazy look of Gui Mingyue, but it has a surprisingly eye-catching effect.
Gui Mingyue, with the support of Yin Shen'er and Jin Qi'er, slowly entered the main courtyard, and looked at Ji Yunyi, who was dressed in dark color, and Lin Zhanmei, who was dressed in garnet red, stood in the center of the hall like a pair of people.
"Oh, young grandma...... No, I'm calling the princess, we're all here, but I'm waiting for you," the third aunt smiled and called to Gui Mingyue outside the door: "Come on, you, the wife, should drink a cup of new tea for the bride." ”
The third aunt glanced at Lin Zhanmei, who was standing beside Ji Yunyi shyly and timidly, and saw that she looked ordinary and talented, and she actually felt that it was more pleasing to the eye.
Ji Yunyi and Lin Zhanmei turned their heads together when they heard that Gui Mingyue was coming.
I saw that in the morning light, her temples were towering like ink, her face was like agar snow, her eyes were as beautiful as bright lights, her petal-like lips were slightly upturned, her expression was lazy, her eyes were unpredictable, and she seemed to be affectionate and ruthless.
Ji Yunyi was a little stunned, and when he looked at Shanggui Mingyue's indifferent eyes, a trace of pain immediately appeared in his eyes.
Lin Zhanmei's heart couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy, no matter what kind of elegant posture he pretended, how poetic and bookish he was, in front of Gui Mingyue, who was really beautiful and radiant with glow, he had to be ashamed of himself.
In fact, Gui Mingyue also strengthened her spirit, sat at the bottom of the eldest lady, and faintly listened to the eldest lady after taking the teacup, and said to the Lin family that she would continue to be an heir, virtuous and virtuous.
"Sister, please have tea." Lin Zhanmei's soft voice came from the front, and it wasn't until Jin Qi'er poked Gui Mingyue's shoulder that Gui Mingyue put away her groggy thoughts, took the teacup, and said unconsciously: "Okay, in the future, I will give the heirs to the son of the world, and I must be virtuous and ......virtuous."
didn't look at Ji Yunyi's still angry expression at all, and Lin Zhan's stunned look.
Until Ji Yunyi suddenly threw up his sleeves and left, everyone talked about it.
Only then did Gui Mingyue react, sneering and thinking, where did you get your anger.
Lin Zhanmei saw Ji Yunyi leave without looking back, and his eyes turned red instantly, but in the blink of an eye, he ...... last night Although it is not very gentle, it is a little perfunctory, but the discomfort that has come from under him so far has made him his person after all. I couldn't help but sit down with the support of the maid and have breakfast with the eldest lady and them.
"Princess, can you be empty today? Let's go to your yard to play horse hanging. Several aunts who had always been familiar with Gui Mingyue leaned over to her and whispered.
"Ahem, shut up for me, don't scream if you don't understand," Mrs. Ji glanced at Gui Mingyue, how can this foxy appearance be worthy of being called a princess.
The eldest lady said again: "Although the Gui family is the main wife, but the Lin family is also an equal wife, it stands to reason that the two of them are also equal, besides, the saint has already spoken, whoever marries the Miss Lin family is the son of my Hou Mansion, and the title of the princess of this world is naturally taken by the Lin family." As for Gui's family, you still call her the eldest and youngest grandmother before. ”
Several aunts looked at each other, what is the reason, a flat wife is a flat wife after all, even if she is a princess to marry, she is not as good as a wife.
looked at Gui Mingyue angrily, poor grandmother.
"Gui, can you agree?" Ji Houye asked.
"With the arrangement of Mrs. Hou, Mingyue is full and will retire first." Gui Mingyue didn't want to stay here for a few more moments, especially not wanting to see Lin Zhanmei's uncontrollable appearance for the first time, which made her uncomfortable and embarrassed than the eldest lady's sarcasm.
"Sister, I'll send you." Lin Zhanmei walked tremblingly in front of Gui Mingyue with the support of the maid, and stretched out his hand to help.
"No," Gui Mingyue waved his hand, Lin Zhan's eyebrows touched the air, and he stopped a little abruptly. Looking at Gui Mingyue's distant figure, listening to Marquis Ji's dissatisfaction with him, the corners of Lin Zhan's eyebrows slowly rose.
"Hmph, this Lin Zhanmei is deliberately disgusting with our young lady," Jin Qi'er was angry and said: "Her appearance, where is it like the first night, but like a ...... by more than a dozen big men together"
"Qiang'er!" Yinsheng'er covered her mouth, this Jin Yuan'er has been with the young lady all the year round, and when she talks about this kind of lawless meat, she also comes out of her mouth.
"Poof!" Gui Mingyue laughed out loud, thinking about the appearance of Lin Zhanmei, isn't it just like what Jin Qi'er said.
Seeing that the young lady smiled, Jin Qi'er became more and more proud, and Yin Shen'er was secretly relieved.
Back in the West Courtyard, Gui Mingyue felt much better, and her head was not so dizzy.
"Let Rurong come to me." Gui Mingyue commanded.
In just a few days, Rurong has lost a lot of weight, and his eyes are swollen, as if he cried last night.
Isn't it? This Rurong is also to Ji Yunyi...... Gui Mingyue couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"How's it going?" Gui Mingyue asked.
"Back to the words of the young grandmother, the person already believed it, and made an appointment to meet tomorrow at noon." Rurong quickly cheered up and said.
"Well, when the time comes, go ahead and someone will pick you up outside. When you're done, you find a chance to come back through the secret door, and I'll let Jin Qi'er guard the secret door. Gui Mingyue said.
"Yes, the slave has written it down, and she will not live up to the trust of the young grandmother." Rurong retreated.
Rurong walked a few steps, suddenly turned around, and said thoughtlessly: "Grandma, you must believe in the young master." ”
Gui Mingyue was stunned, she didn't understand what she meant for a long time, and when she wanted to ask again, she was already gone.
After a while, Gui Mingyue laughed self-deprecatingly, did she still have any fantasies in her heart?
"Young Master, Grandma is unwell and has rested, so please go back." Outside the house, there was the cold voice of Silver Pendant.
"Get out of the way," Ji Yunyi scolded, and strode into the house despite the obstacles.
Gui Mingyue still leaned on the head of the bed, put down the book in her hand, looked at Ji Yunyi who came in, and said coldly: "The eldest young master wants to lose his temper, just send it to his subordinates, my maid can't bear your anger." ”
"Heh, you even protect a maid, right, what about me?" Ji Yunyi was angry.
Gui Mingyue sneered, after you and other women turned over the clouds and rain, why can you still talk to me with such an aggrieved look, I forced you to marry Na Lin Zhanmei.
"How is the eldest young master, what does it have to do with me?" Gui Mingyue said coldly.
"Is it really irrelevant? Don't you ask me why I want to marry Lin Zhanmei, how have I been living these days? Last night, it was ......," Ji Yunyi said urgently.
"I don't want to." Gui Mingyue coldly interrupted him.
What else is there to ask, when she didn't see him holding Lin Zhanmei, standing under the osmanthus tree and whispering, or when she didn't know the affectionate look in Lin Zhanmei's eyebrows.
"Okay, okay, I got it." Ji Yunyi turned around, flicked his sleeves and left, and didn't look back.
Now that Ji Yunyi is the son of the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion, he should no longer live in a secluded place like the West Courtyard. When Marquis Ji mentioned this matter to Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Ji frowned almost inaudibly, but she could only agree.
Then the Lian family moved out of Nanyuan and lived in the main courtyard with Mrs. Ji. The vacated South Garden was used as the residence of the prince.
When Ji Yunyi and Lin Zhanmei both moved to Nanyuan, Gui Mingyue went to the eldest lady and asked to stay in the West Courtyard.
Although the eldest lady didn't have a good impression of her, she couldn't play a role at the moment, and it was really troublesome to move those valuables in the warehouse of the West Courtyard. Not to mention the secret door...... Thinking of this, the eldest lady happily agreed.
"You love to live in the West Courtyard, so let her go." Ji Yunyi said impatiently.
"But, sister, it's not good to live there alone." Lin Zhanmei stepped forward and said worriedly while grinding ink for him.
"You go out first, don't come to my study in the future." Ji Yunyi said lightly.
"Yes," Lin Zhanmei said with some grievances, he was always so strange and cold during the day, and the chill on his body made her feel cold. Compared to him at night, it's like a different person. Although he didn't talk much at night, there was always a trace of heat on his body......
"In the future, it is strictly forbidden for the princess to approach the study and the west courtyard, and don't let her disturb her." Ji Yunyi suspected that Gui Mingyue had not yet had sex with him, and it was this Lin Zhanmei who spread it.
This gave them the opportunity to force themselves to marry him.
What a good calculation!
"Yes!" His guards commanded.
"How is Yun Zhe over there?" Ji Yunyi asked.
"The third young master is very cautious, and his body shape is most similar to you, as long as you don't have contact with him on weekdays, I believe it won't make her suspicious." The guard said.
