Xu Ningyue stared at Pei Ning's back as she left.

I can't figure it out, he laughs so gently, why doesn't he like to take care of himself?

However, remembering that Sister Su said that she would help her just now, she was happy again.

In her heart, as long as it is what Su Tian wants to do, there is nothing that cannot be done.

When Pei Ning passed by Shen Mingjiao and the others, his eyes glanced at random, and when he saw Gu Danxue with his head down, he looked at him for a moment.

Gu Danxue just raised her head unintentionally, and looked at a handsome face with a gentle smile. Her face turned red and she bowed her head.

Pei Ning raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and his eyes flashed.

Shen Mingjiao listened to this babbling singing voice boredly, and felt like she was going to fall asleep.

It just so happened that Gu Danxue was going to go to the toilet, so she also went out to breathe.

Shen Mingjiao watched Gu Danxue go to Gongfang, walked forward casually boredly, and Haitang, who was following behind, pointed to an open space in front of him and said, "Girl, there are people playing with pitchers there." ”

Shen Mingjiao followed her line of sight and saw two or three girls standing there,

When the master and servant walked over, the girls had just left, and there were many arrows scattered on the ground.

Shen Mingjiao picked one up casually, retreated to a certain distance, raised her arm, and gently threw it at the ear piercing pot placed opposite.

As a result, she naturally didn't hit, and she didn't even hit the body of the pot, so she didn't give up and continued to pick up one.

Still missed, and farther away from the body of the pot. She wrinkled her nose in chagrin and continued to lose repeatedly.

Begonia was itchy to see it, and joined in with great interest.

However, because she was too strong, she threw the arrow directly into the pond across the road.

Shen Mingjiao, who had repeatedly failed, finally got some comfort when she saw this, and couldn't help laughing.

This scene happened to be seen by Pei Ji, who was passing by the front yard, and listening to the delicate and light laughter in his ears, he couldn't help but stop in a daze.

Looking at Shen Mingjiao, who was dressed in a red dress and smiling wantonly under the shade of the tree, he couldn't take his eyes off.

He stood still for a few moments, as if the unpleasantness of the front yard had dissipated somewhat.

The Yasukuni Mansion was rehabilitated. Outsiders all say that he, the prince of the Yasukuni Mansion, must be proud of the spring breeze.

But Pei Ji has not been doing well these days. Those who used to be dismissive of him are now coming together, and they are forced to deal with all kinds of powerful people every day.

But he didn't feel happy, he just felt physically and mentally tired every day.

He just wants to study and take the imperial examination with peace of mind and serve the imperial court in the future. But no one could understand such a simple idea, including his wife.

Shen Mingyan is not the only one who has a beautiful vision for her married life.

But after getting married, he gradually discovered that the girl with a sunny smile and full of vitality seemed to be just his imagination.

After getting married, Shen Mingyan seems to have changed as a different person, and she only knows how to fight with her aunts and concubines for trivial things every day. Every time the two didn't say a few words, she started complaining.

After a long time, he didn't even want to go back to the backyard,

Shen Mingjiao threw dozens of shots in a row, but she didn't hit any of them, and suddenly grabbed several of them in a frustrated way and threw them out.

She felt that her sleeve was gently pulled, turned her head, and saw that it was Gu Danxue, she asked without much energy: "I'm back." ”

Gu Danxue hummed lightly, glanced at the arrows scattered all over the place, and asked in a low voice, "The princess likes to throw pots?" ”

Shen Mingjiao said dejectedly: "I don't like it now, who makes me always miss!" ”

"Hey, who the hell invented this thing, it's so difficult..."

Before the words fell, he stared at Gu Danxue with wide eyes and grabbed an arrow and threw it forward gently. I only heard the sound of "pop", and the arrow was firmly inserted into the ear-piercing pot not far away.

At the end, he whispered, "It's not difficult." ”

Shen Mingjiao: "......" Well, it's not difficult, it turns out that she's just too stupid.

The begonia behind him looked at Gu Danxue with admiration on his face: "Miss Gu, it turns out that you are so good at throwing pots!" ”

This is the first time Gu Danxue has been praised by others, and she was suddenly a little flattered, "Also... It's okay, I learned it from my dad when I was a kid. ”

Shen Mingjiao was also full of admiration for her, "You can go to the pot throwing competition, and you will definitely win the prize." ”

In order to strengthen the body, the imperial court held competitions such as pot throwing, juju, polo, archery, etc., every two years.

Gu Danxue smiled shyly, those who participated in the competition were either officials of the DPRK and China or the children of eunuchs with knighthoods, and she was still a woman, how could she be qualified to participate in any competition?

Pei Ji watched Shen Mingjiao and the others leave, then stepped forward, picked up the arrow that Shen Mingjiao had just used, and crushed it unconsciously with his fingertips, as if there was still the breath of the other party on it.

He raised the arrow, threw it lightly, clicked, and landed firmly into the pot. As the arrow fell off, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.

On the way back, Shen Mingjiao sensitively noticed that Gu Danxue was a little absent-minded.

When she was about to return to the flower hall, she still couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Is it okay?" ”

Gu Danxue hurriedly shook her head: "No... It's okay..."

Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows, she didn't look like she was fine.

Gu Danxue lowered her eyes and couldn't help but think of what had just happened.

……

said that not long ago, Gu Danxue walked out of Gong's room and was about to go back with Shen Mingjiao.

After taking a few steps, a clear and nice male voice behind her stopped her: "Girl, please wait a minute." ”

Gu Danxue turned her head in confusion, and saw the young man she had seen in the flower hall standing a few steps away from her, holding a handkerchief in his hand, and looking at her with a gentle and handsome face: "Girl, your handkerchief has fallen." ”

Gu Danxue lowered her head with a red face and stammered, "I... It's not my veil..."

With that, she heard the young man chuckle, as if pleased by her reaction.

Then he stepped forward a few steps, and when she was stunned, he stuffed the handkerchief directly into her hand,

stared into her eyes and smiled softly: "The girl's eyes are beautiful!" ”

She stood there in a daze, holding a handkerchief, watching the man walk away, a little at a loss for a moment.

But at this moment, Su Tian walked out of nowhere,

Met each other's meaningful eyes. Gu Danxue's hand holding the handkerchief shrank.

Su Tian stepped forward and grabbed her hand, with a gentle smile: "Danxue, I haven't seen you for many days, why did you break up with me?" ”

After that, he sighed sadly, "Now that you know Princess Su, don't you recognize me as a friend?" When Ning Yue bullied you at the beginning, did I help you? ”

Gu Danxue stiffened her hands and pursed her lips, but she didn't know what to say. Because of what happened over the years. She has always been sensitive by nature.

Every time she was bullied by Xu Ningyue, Su Tian would indeed help her, but it was only a symbolic persuasion.

The gaze that looked at her was always one of charity and pity. Whenever she met such a gaze, she was not relieved, only felt suffocated.

Even deep down, compared to Xu Ningyue's obvious bullying of her, she actually hates Su Tian more.

She knew that Su Tian didn't really pity her, just because his father was Ning Yuanhou.

Seeing this, Su Tian stopped talking nonsense, and continued to hold her hand and smiled: "You like Pei Ning, don't you, I can help you." ”

Gu Danxue retracted her hand violently, and hurriedly took a step back: "You... What nonsense are you talking about... I didn't..."

Su Qian was contemptuous in his heart, if it weren't for Gu Danxue having a good father, he wouldn't even bother to look at this kind of person.

"Don't be in a hurry to deny it, Pei Ning has outstanding appearance, gentle personality, and is still the son of the Yasukuni Mansion, it is normal for you to like such an outstanding man."

"And I saw just now that Pei Ning is also interested in you, but if you want to marry him, I'm afraid the people of the Pei family won't agree."

"But don't worry, for the sake of the two of us being friends, I'll help you."

……

Retracting her thoughts, Gu Danxue curled her fingers, and finally hesitated: "Do you know Pei Ning, he..."

Before the words fell, Shen Mingjiao interrupted her with a calm face and asked lightly, "How do you know him?" ”

Without waiting for Gu Danxue to answer, she said solemnly again: "That's not a good person, you stay away from him." ”

Gu Danxue was a little stunned for a while. I wanted to ask why, but I ended up opening my mouth and asking nothing,

She knew that Shen Mingjiao had no reason to lie to her, combined with Su Tian's inexplicable words just now. It is enough to show that the man named Pei Ning does have a problem.

If you say how much you like that Pei Ning, then definitely not, she is just a little sad, for the first time in her life, a man didn't care about her appearance and took the initiative to approach her, but she didn't expect it to be fake!

Shen Mingjiao was afraid that Gu Danxue would be fascinated by Pei Ning's appearance, so she repeatedly admonished a few words, and when she saw the other party nodding obediently, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking about Gu Danxue's character, even if he really likes Pei Ning, he doesn't dare to take the initiative to do anything when he wants to.

The two returned to the flower hall, and Cui Lingling was still watching there with relish.

Finally, when it was time to start the banquet, everyone went to the table arranged in advance.

At banquets like this, there are rules for the number of seats to be seated. Shen Mingjiao's status is the highest on the female side, so she was arranged to sit in the top position, so she was separated from Gu Danxue and Cui Lingling.

As soon as Gu Danxue sat down, a maid carrying a teapot passed by, and then accidentally mixed it with her feet, and the water in the teapot was spilled onto Gu Danxue impartially.

The maid hurriedly knelt down in fear and pleaded guilty: "The slave and maid should die, the girl please spare the slave and maid!" ”

Under such movement, the people around suddenly looked at it curiously. Gu Danxue pinched her wet skirt, and her face suddenly became a little feverish: "Okay, you get up!" ”

The maid kowtowed to him and stood up. He took her to the guest house to change her clothes. Gu Danxue was a little hesitant.

It stands to reason that when you go out, you will prepare an extra set of clothes just in case. But she came secretly from her second aunt, and she didn't even bring a personal maid.

Seeing this, the maid proposed: "The slave maid is a maid in the courtyard of the second lady of the house, why don't the slave maid take this girl to our second lady to borrow clothes." ”

After that, he directly grabbed her arm and pulled the person out,

Gu Danxue intuitively felt that there was something wrong, but she was used to being obedient on weekdays, and it was really uncomfortable to have wet clothes clinging to her body, so she was dragged out of the yard after hesitating.

Su Tian, who was sitting at the opposite table, looked at Gu Danxue, who was pulled away by the maid, and took a sip of tea with satisfaction.

Xu Ningyue, who was on the side, tugged at her sleeve, and saw that everyone had to leave after the banquet, and she didn't care what to eat, so she leaned over and whispered:

"Sister Su Tian, didn't you say that there is a way for me to marry Pei Ning? What the hell is the method? ”

Su Tian held back the disgust in his heart and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll tell you when I'm done eating." ”

Xu Ningyue was immediately relieved when she heard this.

Su leaned and pulled out the arm that was held by the other party without a trace. There was a chill in his eyes.

Now when she sees Xu Ningyue's face, she will think of the humiliation she had in Jinxiufang that day.

After that, the reputation she had built up over the years was almost half ruined.

Everyone mentioned that Su Tian was no longer amazing and yearning, and some people even secretly said that she was a water-based Yanghua, who wanted to marry the prince, but couldn't let go of King Su, so angry that she directly smashed a whole room of precious porcelain.

And for Xu Ningyue, one of the initiators, how could she not hate?

So since Xu Ningyue likes Pei Ning, then she will fulfill her.

However, when she saw Gu Danxue today, she temporarily changed her mind.

The Yasukuni Mansion has secretly taken refuge in the crown prince, but she feels that this is not enough.

Since she wants to be the most noble woman in the world, then Feng Qi Yu must be the emperor in the future, so the more forces under the prince, the better.

And Marquis Ning Yuan was only loyal to the emperor.

She hooked her lips and chuckled, but if Gu Danxue married Pei Ning, then the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion could only be tied to the Yasukuni Mansion.

As for Xu Ningyue, she naturally won't let it go.

……

Shen Mingjiao knew that something had happened to Gu Danxue after a quarter of an hour.

Cui Lingling sat beside Mrs. Tong with her back straight, looking at a large table of delicacies and delicacies, but she could only chew slowly with a small mouthful of food, she was really uncomfortable, so she said that she was going to the toilet, and withdrew from the table under Mrs. Tong's cold gaze.

Passing by Gu Danxue's table, but she didn't see anyone, she asked the girl at the table and learned that she went to change her clothes, and Cui Lingling didn't care.

Just smelling the aroma of the food wafting out of the banquet, she swallowed her saliva greedily, glanced at Shen Mingjiao, who was sitting on the inside, and couldn't help but walk over.
