Chapter 225: Chance Encounter
Song Xuan's matter was just a small episode, but in the end, it affected Gu Mingxiu's mood. There are people coming and going downstairs, there is also laughter and laughter in the wine shop, and gorgeous fireworks explode on the riverside, reflecting the joy on the faces of pedestrians in the streets and alleys.
Children hold lanterns in their hands, holding sugar gourds or candy figures in one hand, and frolic around adults. Not far away, there are still small couples who put lights together, quite a happy appearance.
Gu Mingxiu looked at it for a moment, and his mood calmed down.
She has never been very good at dealing with these things, and she was a little dazed when she saw such a happy scene: Shen Yang was still with her on this occasion in the previous life, but he reminded her with a smile not to relax.
Now that I think about it, it's a bit ridiculous.
She was full of satisfaction and planned for him, but he hugged her and looked at everyone else, all of whom were her half-sisters. How ironic.
The girl in purple took the cloak halfway, her palm-sized cheeks buried in the snow cap, and her dark eyes seemed to be filled with a trace of melancholy and irrepressible sadness.
Mo Zhu served several people on the side, and among them, she was the most careful, so she could naturally see the emotions in her own girl's eyes. She accompanied Gu Mingxiu to see Su Weiyi, and in the end, she felt even more sorry for her own girl, and couldn't help complaining about Shen Huailai.
Regardless of the events of that day.
Shen Huai knew that her girl was going to become the master of the palace, but she still allowed Su Weiyi to enter at will, but she didn't need to report it at all, and it wasn't a matter of a day or two. Lonely men and widows, who knows if the two had any contact in the past, and what unspoken relationship they had.
Moreover, Gu Mingxiu is the wife that Shen Huai is marrying, and the serious Princess Xiao, but she was accused by Su Weiyi as a hostess in Shen Huai's mansion.
ββEvery time I think about it, I feel a little annoyed in my heart.
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but raise her head, glared fiercely at Luo Feng, who was guarding the door, and then quickly turned her head away from looking.
Luo Feng, who was guarding the door: ".........???? β
He touched his head, looked at Mozhu in a bit of confusion, and then glanced at Gu Mingxiu. Neither of them looked at him, Luo Feng looked away, and couldn't help but show joy at this look: "Princess, who are you looking at?" β
didn't wait for him to sell Guanzi, but the other party spoke out first: "Little Xiu'er, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
It was originally Shen Qingqing and his wife.
Now Shen Qingqing's stomach is becoming more and more obvious, and when she walks, she can't help but reach out and hold her waist and come slowly. The arrogant and cold girl in the past is about to become a mother, and her eyebrows and eyes are inevitably a lot gentle, and her eyes are full of mature charm.
Shen Xian carefully helped Shen Qingqing to take a seat, and looked at Gu Mingxiu with some gratitude: "Fortunately, I saw the imperial sister-in-law-"
"It's just your mouth." Shen Qingqing frowned and unceremoniously interrupted Shen Xian's words. She turned her head, ignored Shen Xian, and only said to Gu Mingxiu, "It's just that I'm pregnant with a child, and I am not allowed to do anything, if I am not tough today, I won't even let me out of the door." I haven't even walked a few steps out of the door, and I want to rest, and I don't know who is squeamish. β
"Okay, good, I'm squeamish, I'm squeamish." Shen Xian changed the previous one
The appearance of a ruffian scoundrel is completely angry in front of Shen Qingqing, "It's also a shame to see the imperial sister-in-law on top, otherwise she wouldn't want to come up." β
Gu Mingxiu couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "You are going to be a mother-in-law, why are you still like this, and you don't see any stability when you look at it." β
"I saw that you got married, and it wasn't that you didn't change anything." Shen Qingqing hadn't seen Gu Mingxiu for a long time, but she also missed her very much, so she just smiled, "Why are you alone?" What about Shen Huai? β
Mo Zhu and the others were also very happy to see Shen Qingqing, and when they heard her question, Mo Zhu was a little unhappy.
Seeing this, Shen Qingqing said: "I heard that the two of you have been having a cold war recently, and you have both moved out of King Xiao's Mansion, did Shen Huai do something to be sorry for you?" β
"Where does anyone ask such a question!" Shen Xian couldn't cry or laugh.
He knew this imperial uncle best, and others didn't know it, but he could feel from what his imperial uncle did how much he cared about this imperial sister-in-law, and how he went to great lengths to marry her into the palace. It's too late to pet the capital... How could it be possible to do something on the side?
Shen Qingqing ignored him, just glared: "What does it have to do with you when I talk to Xiu'er?" You are all surnamed Shen, so you are naturally helping Shen Huai. β
"There is nothing to do, he is a little busy these days, so I will go back to the house to accompany my mother and them." Afraid that the two would quarrel, Gu Mingxiu spoke softly and said with a smile, "I came with Yiyi and them, and I was a little tired and took a break, but Cousin Ting likes to play, so I pulled them to walk again." β
"Tingting's temperament hasn't changed at all, and I don't know who I will give it to in the future." Hearing Gu Mingxiu mention An Ting and the others, Shen Qingqing also smiled.
Gu Mingxiu said: "This is not in a hurry, it is always the general's mansion that stays." β
A few people talked about the next things again. Shen Qingqing and Gu Mingxiu haven't seen each other for a long time, but the two have a lot of topics and exchange a lot of information. Shen Xian, who has always been talkative, was scolded by Shen Qingqing for a few words, and obediently became dumb.
Suddenly, Agarwood suddenly opened her mouth and called her: "Princess." β
Gu Mingxiu glanced at her, followed the line of sight of agarwood and looked downstairs, and saw that among the streets and alleys where people came and went, there was a pair of beautiful people standing on the riverside, looking at them with a smile.
The man was long and jade, his eyebrows were handsome and gentle, and he wore a moon-white robe today, delicate but inconspicuous. The woman was covered with a navy blue cloak and held a lantern in her hand, charming and well-behaved.
Shen Qingqing and the others also followed their line of sight, and couldn't help frowning slightly, as if they were a little displeased: "How did you meet the two of them, it's not a coincidence at all." β
Downstairs are Shen Yang and Gu Changge, husband and wife.
They met the eyes of the people upstairs for a moment, whispered something, and then walked towards the liquor store where the three men were.
Seeing this, Shen Qingqing's face sank: "Gu Changge was so ignorant, but he didn't want Shen Yang to have no knowledge. β
"Since we're here, it's okay to sit together." Gu Mingxiu comforted Shen Qingqing with a smile, and then looked at Mu Lan, "Mu Lan, you go and lead the way." β
Mulan immediately understood, and the obedient blessed body.
Shen Qingqing frowned, just looked at Gu Mingxiu, and said uneasily: "Has Gu Changge come to feel sorry for you?" She is also a relative now, so she shouldn't do something stupid. β
Gu Mingxiu just smiled and said nothing.
Downstairs, Mu Lan saw the two who were about to go upstairs and saluted lightly: "Prince, side concubine." The princess invited the two of them upstairs to talk. She raised her head and glanced at Gu Changge with a smile, as if she said casually, "The princess just met Prince Song, and then met the prince, but it was a coincidence." β
When Shen Yang heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned: he understood that Mu Lan was revealing information to himself and reminding himself, but he didn't understand... This is obviously Gu Mingxiu's maid, how could she say such a thing to herself.
He just thought about it for a moment, and then his gaze fell on Gu Changge beside him. The gentle woman smiled at him and asked calmly, "What did they say?" β
Sure enough, Mu Lan was Gu Changge's person.
Hearing Gu Changge's inquiry, Mu Lan slowed down her pace and said in a slightly lowered voice: "The princess questioned the matter of Prince Song's General Mansion, and Prince Song has already admitted everything. β
Shen Yang's face couldn't help but show a little anger: "Stupid! β
Soon they arrived upstairs, and Shen Yang and the others already had a light and elegant smile on their faces. He said softly to Shen Xian, who was about to get up and salute, "Today is just an ordinary family banquet, and the sixth brother doesn't need to be polite." β
"Yes, the six brothers and sisters were very bold before, and they never constrained themselves in the number of etiquette, but now that they have a body, they are not as good as others, and this number of etiquette is exempt." Gu Changge also replied gently, but secretly accused Shen Qingqing of not knowing etiquette, and never bowed when he saw her in the past.
Without waiting for Shen Qingqing to be embarrassed, Gu Mingxiu had already said lightly: "It's rare to meet like this, so it's naturally not polite." Feel free to sit down. β
Gu Changge wanted to provoke Shen Qingqing, but he never thought that the highest status in this Yashe was not the crown prince beside her, but Gu Mingxiu, the princess Xiao. She spoke now, half-warning, and taught Gu Changge's body to stiffen slightly.
The wooden windows were erected and the bamboo curtains were raised.
Gu Mingxiu sat at the window, looking at the riverside with a faint expression. The girl in purple is exquisitely dressed and has a slender figure. Her eyes were filled with a cold mist, her long eyelashes drooped slightly, quiet and clear.
Shen Yang looked at her, but there was a strange throbbing in his heart: "I haven't seen the imperial sister-in-law and the imperial uncle for a long time, I don't know how the situation is going?" β
Hearing Shen Yang's question, Gu Changge felt a faint anger and jealousy in his heart. Now that she is married to Shen Yang, she naturally has to focus on Shen Yang's face, and her dress and makeup are naturally not as delicate as the previous girls, but more dignified. It's not as good as Shen Qingqing and Gu Mingxiu, one is Shen Xian who dresses up casually with her, and Gu Mingxiu is even more casual, and Shen Huai hasn't asked at all. It's clear that she's a woman, but she's dressed like a girl. Her actions and actions have to be considered, but Gu Mingxiu doesn't have to worry about these, she makes her own decisions.
In the past, it was clear that her reputation in Yangzhou was the best, and when she overshadowed Shen Qingqing, Gu Mingxiu was just a sick seedling raised in the temple
It's just a child.
But now, but nowβ
Both of them are better off than her, better off than her!
Teach her how not to be annoyed.
Gu Changge tugged at the handkerchief under his sleeve, and said as if unintentionally: "Yes, when you are playing so well today, why don't you see His Highness come out with you?" I thought His Highness was upstairs too. β
"Oh?" But it was Shen Qingqing who smiled, "How can I listen to what you mean, it seems that you care about His Royal Highness King Xiao very much." β
As if his mind was being said to be important, Gu Changge's face did not show his face: "I care about the fourth sister." It's the most dangerous when it's lively, and the fourth sister is not in good health, if it's alone, it's natural to have someone to accompany you to be the most assured. β
"What if the maid guard is on the side, it's better for the husband to accompany you... It's the best. She glanced at Shen Yang beside her with a smile, and then lowered her head shyly.
