When Gu Qingyou arrived at Yongchun Palace, Xiao Xiwei had just had breakfast, and was sitting on the warm couch with a few girls teasing Chu Tianye, who had just been crowned King Ning in his arms.

This was the first time Gu Qingyou had seen this legendary Princess Yan. I saw that she was wearing a light purple brocade dress, embroidered with dotted flowers on the skirt, very ordinary clothes, just lined with her snow-white and delicate face, which revealed a bit of Tsinghua and nobility. She wore a red gold peony hairpin on her sideburns, and with her movements, the slender silk tassels swayed slightly in her ears, making her more and more bright.

"The courtiers have seen Princess Yan." Gu Qingyou's hands were folded on his waist, and Ying Ying said to Xiao Xi.

Xiao Xi turned his head slightly.

Not only was Gu Qingyou seeing Xiao Xiwei for the first time, but this was also the first time Xiao Xiwei had seen Gu Qingyou.

Gu An has always protected this daughter very well, even if a banquet is held in the capital, she is never allowed to attend, few people have seen her, but only a few people who have seen her say that she is both beautiful and charming. Because of this, although she rarely appears in the capital, she is famous.

"Miss Gu, please take a seat." Xiao Xi smiled faintly at her, and then said to Biyun next to her, "Biyun, pour tea for Miss Gu." ”

"Thank you, Princess Yan." Gu Qingyou blessed his body, and then walked to sit down next to Xiao Xiwei.

There was a cloisonné enamel smoker in the room, and the charcoal fire was burning brightly in it, and she felt a little stuffy when she came in for a while.

"If you feel hot, undo your cloak outside." Xiao Xiwei looked at Gu Qingyou and said lightly.

Gu Qingyou didn't expect that she only frowned slightly, and the woman in front of her saw through her thoughts, and couldn't help but feel a little awe of her at the moment.

Perhaps because of untying the cloak, Gu Qingyou felt a lot more relaxed. When she saw Chu Tianye with eyes in Xiao Xiwei's arms and a small mouth pursed, she couldn't help but smile on her face, "His Royal Highness King Ning is so good-looking." ”

Xiao Xi looked down at the little man in his arms, and the smile on his face couldn't help but be a little doting, "Really?" They all said that he looked like his father. ”

Yanwang ......

Gu Qingyou subconsciously looked at Xiao Xiwei, but saw that there was not the slightest trace of affection between her eyebrows, and a trace of surprise couldn't help flashing in her heart at the moment.

"Do you think it's strange?" Xiao Xi raised his head slightly and looked at Gu Qingyou.

Gu Qingyou was stunned, pursed the corners of his lips, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

King Qin and King Yan have a deep relationship, so he also has great respect for Princess Yan. This time, Princess Yan asked her to enter the palace, and she didn't have to think much to know that it must be because of the last marriage. Therefore, she tried her best to leave a good impression in front of Princess Yan, but she didn't expect Princess Yan to ask her such a question? If she answers truthfully, it will inevitably make people think that she cares too much about King Yan and Princess Yan's affairs, but if she denies it, Princess Yan's meticulous mind is afraid that she can see at a glance that she is lying.

Seeing Gu Qingyou's frowning and dilemma, Xiao Xi chuckled slightly, "You don't need to be nervous, I'll just ask casually." ”

Gu Qingyou smiled, and there was an unnatural hint of embarrassment and uneasiness in his smile. At this time, Ju Qing next to her suddenly pulled the corners of her sleeves.

"Princess." Gu Qingyou hurriedly took out a delicate small purse from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Xiwei, the purse was embroidered with a lively carp, "This is embroidered by the courtiers themselves, and the peace charm in the purse was asked for by His Royal Highness King Qin from Chao'an Temple." I hope that this peace charm can protect His Royal Highness King Ning with a smooth and safe life. ”

Xiao Xiwei looked at the purse in Gu Qingyou's hand, and after a while, she finally reached out and took the purse handed by Gu Qingyou, "Then I will thank Miss Gu for her kindness here for Ye'er." After that, she smiled and changed her words, "Miss Gu is so smart, I guessed the purpose of inviting you this time, right?" ”

As soon as Xiao Xiwei's words fell, Gu Qingyou only felt a tightness in her chest, she raised her eyes, looked at Xiao Xiwei tentatively, and said, "Princess, do you want to ask about the marriage?" ”

Xiao Xi slowly lowered her eyes, she stretched out her finger and gently tapped the tip of Chu Tianye's little nose in her arms, and after a while, she heard her cold voice speak, "I don't want to know about the marriage, I just want to know how Miss Gu can let King Qin go?" ”

"Princess......" Gu Qingyou stood up from the warm couch.

Along the way, she imagined a lot what Xiao Xiwei would say to her, but she didn't expect that she would let her give up King Qin as soon as she opened her mouth.

In his eyes, a trace of mist gradually came up.

She knew that no matter in anyone's eyes, the fact that she loved Chu Muzhi was like a joke, no one believed it, and even if someone really believed it, they couldn't understand it, because, in everyone's eyes, she and Chu Muzhi were two people who would never cross paths on opposite sides, but she was reluctant to give up. She really hoped that someone could come out and tell her that if she persisted, there would be results, but the person who came out asked her to give up as soon as he opened his mouth......

Even though this result was something she had expected, the moment it really came from Xiao Xiwei's mouth, Gu Qingyou still felt very sad.

"Princess, please believe me...... I am sincere to King Qin. Gu Qingyou held back her tears and looked at Xiao Xiwei firmly, word by word.

"Really?" Xiao Xi lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, although his voice was soft, it smashed into Gu Qingyou's chest like a heavy blow, "Do you know that in this majestic imperial city, it is really used to trample?" ”

She had imagined thousands of things that Xiao Xiwei wanted to say to her, but there was no such sentence.

Gu Qingyou opened her eyes vigorously, her face was incredulous, and after a long time, she pursed the corners of her dry lips and said with difficulty, "Then the princess is ...... to King Yan Isn't there a sincerity? ”

After Gu Qingyou's words were finished, Xiao Xiwei didn't look up for a long time, she kept quietly looking at Chu Tianye in her arms, and her clear eyes became darker and darker.

Just when Gu Qingyou thought that she wouldn't answer, her cold voice suddenly sounded, "Maybe there is, but people always have to look forward, don't they?" ”

Gu Qingyou never thought that Xiao Xiwei would say such a thing to her, she looked at Xiao Xiwei and couldn't say anything for a while.

"Have you ever thought about what you should do if you really marry King Qin, and one day in the future, you can only choose one between him and your family?" Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly to look at Gu Qingyou, and slowly spoke, "Your father, mother, sisters and brothers, you can all give up?" ”

Gu Qingyou was stunned.

It's not that she hasn't thought about these, but she hasn't found the answer.

"There's no way for you to come together." Xiao Xiwei looked at Gu Qingyou and said coldly.

Gu Qingyou's face turned pale suddenly, she gritted her teeth and looked at Xiao Xiwei, although she wanted to refute her words, but when she saw those cold and clear eyes, she only felt that all her words were so pale and powerless.

"That's all for my words, Miss Gu is a smart person, she must be able to understand." Xiao Xi looked at Gu Qingyou slightly, his delicate eyebrows were slightly raised, and the words he said were like cold and hard stones slamming on Gu Qingyou's heart.

Sending Gu Qingyou away, it didn't take long for the prince Chu Yanzhi to come.

When he came, Xiao Xiwei was teasing Chu Tianye with the purse sent by Gu Qingyou, and when he saw him come in, he smiled, handed Chu Tianye into the hands of the nurse, and then got up and saluted, "Why is Your Highness here?" ”

"I just went down to the court, and I suddenly remembered you, so I came over to sit down." Chu Yanzhi smiled, and then sat next to Xiao Xiwei, and then, when his eyes fell on the teacup on the black wooden table next to him, "What's the matter, there are guests from Yongchun Palace?" ”

Following Chu Yanzhi's line of sight, Xiao Xiwei naturally saw the teacup on the small table, she raised her eyebrows and smiled at Chu Yanzhi, "Speaking of which, His Royal Highness also knows this guest." ”

"Oh?" Chu Yanzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Xiwei expectantly.

"The daughter of Gu An, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, Gu Qingyou, the prince should still remember, right?" Xiao Xi blinked slightly, and the smile on the corner of her lips became more and more vibrant, "Concubine, but I heard that at the beginning, Miss Gu almost became the crown princess?" It's a pity ......"

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that the prince was too reluctant to be thousands of miles away, so he let the beautiful woman choose another son-in-law." Xiao Xi hooked his lips and smiled slightly, "Doesn't Your Highness feel a pity when you think about it now?" Today's concubine can see it, that Miss Gu can really be called a sinking fish and a goose, and she is ashamed of the moon and flowers. ”

These seemingly resentful words, coupled with the tactful and charming eye waves, only made Chu Yanzhi's heart ripple layer after layer.

"Wei'er won't tell me, you recruited Gu Qingyou into the palace just to see what she looks like, right?" Chu Yanzhi said with a smile.

Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Chu Yanzhi with a smile, "The person who almost became the crown princess, is it strange for the concubine to be curious about what she looks like?" ”

Looking at Xiao Xi's slightly delicate appearance, the smile on the corner of Chu Yanzhi's mouth deepened a little, but he didn't speak.

"Your Highness doesn't believe it?" Xiao Xi's delicate chin was slightly raised, and the smile on his face became more and more charming.

"Hongu thought it was ...... Wei'er, you're not such a jealous woman. Chu Yanzhi said with a smile.

Especially, the object of this jealousy is still him. If it was Chu Xizhi, then maybe he would believe it.

"It's not enough to be jealous...... After all, His Royal Highness is not qualified to be jealous of his concubine now! Xiao Xi lowered his eyes and smiled.

"Is Wei'er complaining to the palace?" Chu Yanzhi suddenly reached out and pulled Xiao Xiwei up, and then pulled it his body, firmly holding Xiao Xiwei in his arms.

"Your Highness, what are you doing here?" Xiao Xiwei's face was blue and red, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, his eyes seemed to be annoyed, and he looked at Chu Yanzhi with shame.

"Isn't this to calm your heart?" Chu Yan smiled, and a trace of undercurrent crossed his deep eyes. He wondered if the woman in his arms cared about him as she said she did. Thinking of this, he looked down at the red cherry lips and was about to kiss them......
