Xiao Jingyi was anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Abbot, can you tell me in detail?" ”

The abbot shook his head and slowly spat out only one word.

"Heaven cannot be revealed, everything depends on a fate."

Fang Zheng said that Ling Mo was ambiguous, and the two of them were also confused.

Out of the temple, Xiao Jingyi's face was a little heavy, thinking that he was worried about the sign just now.

Gu Nuan gently patted him on the shoulder, looked into his gaze, and comforted: "I never believe in these chances, this fate is still in my own hands, how can I be impressed by a signature." ”

Along the way, Xiao Jingyi seemed worried, Gu Nuan seemed to be a person who had nothing to do, after all, as a person who admired science, she naturally didn't believe in this kind of lottery.

As soon as he entered the palace, Xiao Jingyi was called away by Su Weizhong beside His Majesty, and as a last resort, Gu Nuan had to return to the palace alone.

ran into Xiao Yiyu on the way, she just glanced at Gu Nuan lightly, and then walked away.

Gu Nuan felt that it was a strange thing for the first time, and he always felt a chill behind him.

Just thinking about this, someone behind her suddenly patted her on the shoulder, turned around and met Bai Ruoshui's eyes, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

"I just went to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, and I inquired about the situation with my grandmother and learned that you left the palace early in the morning, and I wanted to go back to the house earlier, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Bai Ruoshui wore a purple fairy skirt today, and also wore a round purple hairpin on her head, her skin was fair, and her complexion was much better.

Gu Nuan probed up and down, and couldn't help but quip: "Why, why did your father let you out of the house recently." ”

Bai Ruoshui smiled, lowered his voice and whispered: "Thanks to you, your method really worked, my father really didn't mention my marriage." ”

"And what are your plans for the near future?"

"I heard that there is a famous singer in the capital, so I thought about listening to a song, it's good now, I see that you are also there, but it is better to accompany me to listen to the opera."

Gu Nuan was also interested in the moment.

"Where?"

"Wanbao Zhai, I heard that Wanbao Zhai's rose dew only sells twenty copies a day, which dragged my father's face and took a share."

Wan Bao Zhai! I felt a pimple in my heart, and suddenly I remembered that night, the fireworks all over the city, and the person who held her against the doorframe.

smiled a little stiffly, and hurriedly excused himself: "I suddenly remembered that I still have something, so it's better for my sister to listen alone." ”

"No way!"

Bai Ruoshui tugged at Gu Nuan's clothes, and said with a somewhat unhappy face: "You helped me before, I invited you to listen to the opera, that's natural, if you don't go, you just won't give me face." ”

couldn't bear Bai Ruoshui's temperament, Gu Nuan had to nod and agree.

Bai Ruo was overjoyed, took Gu Nuan's hand and walked towards the palace gate.

When the two arrived, it was already close to evening, and the afterglow was sprinkled on the sky, and the sunset was particularly gorgeous.

Bai Ruoshui took out a token from his arms, Gu Nuan kept his head down from beginning to end, shook it in front of Xiao Er's eyes, Xiao Er's eyes lit up, and led the two of them upstairs in a hurry.

walked all the way to the innermost room on the second floor, Xiao Er slowly pushed open the door,

"Two young ladies, please inside."

When the two entered the house, Gu Nuan slowly straightened up and looked around, the layout of each room was different, but there seemed to be only one special room - Tianzi No. 1.

Behind the screen, you can clearly see the high platform downstairs, the surrounding rooms are lit up, and the hall downstairs is full of people.

There are women dancing on the stage.

Gu Nuan's gaze suddenly looked at Tianzi No. 1, which was pitch black.

It seems that she is too careful, and there is no him here at all.

After a while, Xiao Er sent a table full of delicacies, and attached a bottle of rose dew by the way.

Bai Ruoshui filled Gu Nuan's cup, and said with anticipation in his eyes: "You taste it." ”

Gu Nuan smiled faintly, picked up the cup and took a sip, it was not as sweet as before, but there was a faint hint of bitterness, and he asked a little puzzled: "Why has this rose dew become bitter?" ”

Bai Ruoshui was slightly stunned, and said with some surprise: "Sister, I've been here before." ”

Suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head, and slowly spit out two words: "No." ”

Bai Ruoshui didn't doubt it, picked up the cup and took a sip gently, it was indeed a little bitter, but after the bitterness, it was a thick sweetness, and he couldn't help but praise: "This Wanbao Zhai really deserves its name." ”

Gu Nuan just nodded lightly and did not speak.

Soon, on the stage downstairs, there was a woman with heavy makeup, dressed in thick costumes, babbling and singing, with the sound of music, but it had a different artistic conception.

Bai Ruoshui was fascinated for a while.

Gu Nuan stared at the stage, feeling bored, and couldn't help but take a nap.

It wasn't until the play gradually came to an end that Gu Nuan slowly raised his head, looked at the stage, and saw that the woman in gorgeous clothes had just waved a knife to kill herself, and there was no one on the stage.

tells the story of a woman who fell in love with a prince, but the prince was distracted, and the woman was humiliated, so she committed suicide with a knife.

The young lady who often stays in the boudoir, where has she seen this kind of drama, and she burst into tears for a while.

There was thunderous applause around, and Bai Ruoshui naturally applauded and spit out the word lightly.

"Good show!"

Gu Nuan pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes glanced at the room, which was still pitch black.

After the opera ended, Bai Ruoshui and Gu Nuan walked down the stairs and passed by the counter, Gu Nuan lowered her voice and asked carefully: "Why is there no guest in that room at Tianzi No. 1?" ”

The little second hand was making calculations, and he didn't raise his head, and replied casually: "That room has a predetermined owner, but it has a long future." ”

"Nuan Nuan, hurry up."

Outside the house, Bai Ruoshui poked his head out of the car window and waved at her.

Gu Nuan nodded, but had no choice but to give up and hurriedly got into the carriage.

Pitch dark night.

Gu Mingyuan coughed a few times, the candles in the room were bright, the housekeeper took the brewed hot tea, gently put it on the table, remembered today's events, was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Today, someone saw the county lord go to the temple in the back mountain with King Jing. ”

The pen in Gu Mingyuan's hand fell to the ground, and half of the handwriting was spent.

"Can anyone else accompany you?"

The butler shook his head.

The harem is a forbidden place, except for His Majesty who can enter and exit at will, the rest of the people must pass the sign to enter and exit, after thinking about it, Gu Mingyuan said: "Butler, bring a pen again." ”

"Find someone reliable for this letter, and be sure to hand it over to the county lord himself."

Gu Mingyuan slowly got up and handed the envelope in his hand to the housekeeper.

The butler took the letter, then put it in his arms, and hurried out the door.

When Gu Nuan received the letter, it was already the next morning, a little guard with a raw face, stuffed it through the crack in the door to the green clothes, and then the green clothes were transferred to Gu Nuan's hands.

In autumn, the leaves are yellow and curly, and a few yellow fallen leaves fall from time to time, and the geese in the sky fly to the south in a herringbone shape, Gu Nuan stares at the fish in the pond in a daze with his hands on his cheeks.

"The county lord, the prince's letter."

Gu Nuan came back to her senses and took the envelope, on which was her father's handwriting, and the content of the letter was nothing more than the content of the conversation between the two at that time, as well as some concerned tones.

Until the end of the sentence, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked at the last line: Don't have anything to do with the royal people.

She was a little distracted for a while, and she was silent for a long time.

Green Yi asked with some concern, Gu Nuan just smiled, then shook his head and returned to the house with heavy steps.

"Green, bring a pen."

Green Yi took a black brush from the pen holder and slowly put it in Gu Nuan's hand.

Spread out a piece of white rice paper on the table, Gu Nuan dipped it in ink, slowly lifted the pen, and just dropped two words, he heard the grandmother in the Queen Mother's palace calling.

"The county lord is here."

The two glanced at each other, and the green clothes hurriedly went out to greet them, Gu Nuan stuffed the letter in his hand under a thick stack of books, tidied up his sleeves, and went out of the room.

Outside, Mama was talking to Green. Seeing Gu Nuan, she immediately greeted her with a smile, Gu Nuan smiled back: "Mama, is there something wrong?" ”

"It's the Queen Mother's will, inviting you to come and sit, and Miss Bai is also there."

White as water?

Gu Nuan was a little stunned, nodded lightly, and then said, "Lao, please lead the way." ”

"The county lord is polite, this is natural."

As soon as Gu Nuan left on the front foot, Xiao Jingyi came on the back foot, and brought the newly made osmanthus pastry made by the imperial kitchen.

Green Yi stepped forward to greet him, stretched out his hand to take the box in his hand, pointed to the house, and said, "The county lord has just gone to the queen mother's place, the prince might as well wait for a while, and drink a cup of hot tea by the way." ”

Xiao Jingyi did not refuse, nodded slightly, and the green clothes picked up the empty teapot and walked out of the house.

He looked around, suddenly his eyes stayed on the bookcase, and walked straight over, only two words were written on the white rice paper.

Before the ink dried, Xiao Jingyi smiled unconsciously, and sat down on the chair slowly, as if there was still residual warmth.

Picking up the scroll on the table at random and flipping through it, suddenly a white corner at the bottom of the book layer attracted his attention, his hand was uncontrollable, and he slowly took out the white paper, only to find that it was a letter paper full of dense words.

It is not in line with the gentleman's so-called to look through the letter without the permission of others, he pondered for a moment, and was about to put it back, when a voice suddenly came from the bottom of his heart: open it.

It was like uncontrollable, and when he came back to his senses again, the contents of the letter had already met his eyes.

After reading the letter, I was even more shocked, and the dissatisfaction with the royal family was written between the lines.

There are thousands of thoughts in his heart, King Yuan feels so sorry for his daughter, and said that he will never marry his daughter to the royal family for the rest of his life, this sentence is like a heavy knock on Xiao Jingyi's heart.

"Lord Jing, the tea is ready."

The voice of the green clothes came from outside the door.

Xiao Jingyi came back to his senses, put the letter back under the book layer untouched, and slowly got up, pretending that nothing had happened.

Green walked up to his side and handed the tea in his hand to him.

Xiao Jingyi shook his head, did not take it, and then said: "I suddenly remembered that there was something in the house, so this king went back first." ”

Green Yi stared at the tea in his hand, looking confused, and he was even more puzzled in his heart.

Imperial.

Bai Ruoshui kindly held Gu Nuan's hand, looking at the flowers in the garden, but he couldn't raise any interest, and his eyebrows were full of sadness.

"Sister, why is your face full of sadness?"

Gu Nuan was attentive, squeezed her hand and asked.

"It's been more than a year since I got married, and although my father hasn't mentioned marriage, it's hard to guarantee that he won't come back in the future."
