When Shen Mingjiao arrived at Gu Danxue's courtyard, there was a guard with a serious face standing at the door.

Shen Mingjiao knew that if something like this happened, Gu Danxue was under house arrest.

When the guard saw Shen Mingjiao and his party, he was slightly stunned and stepped forward to salute with his fists, and asked politely for the sake of protection:

"I wonder why Madame is here?"

It is still Erya who is responsible for reporting to her family, "We are from the Su Palace, and our princess wants to see Miss Gu." ”

For the guards, they are obviously much more eye-catching than the gatekeepers just now.

After clasping his fists and saluting, he said, "Princess, please", and asked the guards to open the door.

When Shen Mingjiao saw Gu Danxue, she couldn't help but be taken aback.

After nearly half a year, the woman in front of her was almost so thin that she was out of shape, and the full-breasted skirt that was not fitting was even more incompatible with her.

The room was dim, and Gu Danxue didn't look back when she heard the movement, thinking that it was the maid who came to deliver the meal.

Shen Mingjiao stepped forward and called softly, "Danxue".

Gu Danxue heard a familiar voice, her empty and dull eyes paused, and she slowly turned her head:

"The king... Princess... How did you get here? ”

After that, he stood up reluctantly on the table, and hurriedly saluted Shen Mingjiao.

Shen Mingjiao stepped forward a few steps forward to hold her hand, and said with a smile on her face as usual: "Look at you, how many times have I told you, we are also friends." You don't have to be so offended by me! ”

As if thinking of something, Gu Danxue's eyes moved, but the instinct of her body made her subconsciously bow her head with her chest in her hands, and she shrunk her shoulders and stepped back.

"Nope. I ......"

Pinching the thin wrist bone in his hand, Shen Mingjiao's heart sank.

Compared with a few months ago, Gu Danxue seemed to have become more cowardly and cringe.

Although Gu Danxue had low self-esteem in the past, she was still relatively open to people who were close to her.

But now Gu Danxue's eyes are even more timid, and she doesn't dare to look up at people at all.

It's hard to imagine, what has she experienced in the past six months?

Shen Mingjiao was a little resentful at this time that she didn't care enough about this friend.

She remembered that the last time she saw this girl was on the day Cui Lingling got married, and later she sent two posts to the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, inviting Gu Danxue to go shopping, but the other party didn't reply.

After that, she was kidnapped by Chen Ge, and it had been several months when she returned to Beijing, and she was too busy during that time, and when she finally wanted to invite the other party out for a gathering, she learned that Ning Yuanhou's family had returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors.

Shen Mingjiao pulled someone to sit down, and said with a casual smile: "I haven't seen you for a while, I happened to be free today, so I came to see you," said as he took the food box in Haitang's hand.

"Well, I also brought you your favorite crab roe cake."

Gu Danxue looked at the delicate pastries handed in front of her, and for some reason, her eyes were inexplicably a little sour.

When she went to the palace that time, she felt that this crab roe crisp was soft and delicious, so she couldn't help but eat an extra piece, and the princess actually remembered!

People who are not favored often get a little bit of warmth, and they will be moved for a long time.

She cautiously stretched out her hand, picked up a piece of crab roe crisp, put it to her lips and bit it gently. But because he hadn't eaten for a long time, his mouth was so dry that he couldn't swallow at all.

Erya took the teapot on the table with a very good eye, poured a glass of water, and handed it over.

Gu Danxue hurriedly took it and whispered "thank you",

Rao already knew a little about this Gu girl's temperament, but Er Ya was still stunned by her thanks.

It is natural for a subordinate to serve her master, even if she comes out of King Su's mansion, she is just a maid. I have never heard of a noble lady who so humbly thanked a maid!

It can be seen what kind of life Miss Gu is living in the house?

Gu Danxue put down the cup, was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Is my father asking you to persuade me?" ”

She may be cowardly, but she is not stupid. It's just that because of the perennial oppression, I can't resist deep down.

Shen Mingjiao shook her head. I asked a little puzzled: "Why do you say that, I heard that you came back from worshipping your ancestors a few years ago, and I happened to be free today, so I came to talk to you." ”

It can't be said that she has installed eyeliner in Gu's mansion, just Gu Danxue's sensitive temperament, I'm afraid she will think more if she knows it.

After that, she asked worriedly: "By the way, I came all the way and saw that there were strange things in your house, and your second aunt still stopped me from seeing you." What do you mean you don't want to deal with me...... And the guards at the gate of your courtyard!

Danxue, tell me, have you encountered any difficulties? ”

Gu Danxue clenched the corners of her clothes, her face was a little pale, but she was silent and did not squeak.

Shen Mingjiao patted the back of her hand and said softly: "No matter what your second aunt says, I really treat you as a friend, and friends should help each other." If you have any difficult things, you can say it, one person will be short, three people will be long, say it and we will find a way together. ”

may be moved by Shen Mingjiao's "friend".

Gu Danxue hesitated and slowly spoke: "I... Falling in love with someone? ”

Shen Mingjiao was not surprised by this opening remark, and continued to ask gently: "And then?" Which son is he? ”

Gu Danxue saw that there was no disdain in her eyes, and her heart completely relaxed.

These things have been held in her heart, and she also wants to have someone to talk to.

"He was met when I returned to my hometown to worship my ancestors, and he was the son of the prefect of Pingjiang City. At the banquet, I was pointed at, and my cousins joined forces to tease me for falling and making a fool of myself, and I was used to this kind of thing, and just as I got up and was about to find a place where no one was to sit, he appeared to relieve me, and scolded the noble girls who bullied me, and sent me home......"

When she said this, Gu Danxue's originally pale face flushed, and her shrunken eyes also became bright, and her whole person instantly became vivid.

Shen Mingjiao was slightly surprised, in her original assumption, she thought that the other party was a poor scholar who was born poor.

It's not that she thinks Gu Danxue is not worthy of a man from a good background. It's just that he is poisoned by the words of all kinds of talented and beautiful people, and thinks that if Gu Danxue can elope, he will definitely not be born well. Otherwise, it would be better to go to the door early to propose.

She asked curiously, "What's the name of that son?" ”

"Bai Zhegui."

“… I thought that I would never see him again in this life, but I never thought that I would go out with my second aunt to incense that day, and met him again in the temple.

He said he had come all the way for me to marry me......"

Gu Danxue was immersed in the good memories of herself, and she didn't notice that Shen Mingjiao was a little stunned at first after hearing the name "Bai Zhegui", and then suddenly turned ugly.
