"Sister Gu's luck is really good today. Sister Gu, just accept these prizes." Princess Xin'an clapped her hands, and two maids immediately brought over the previous prizes.
The other things were fine, except for the piece about Yue Suqin that was very eye-catching. Princess Qiyang has not moved her eyes since Zhang Qin was brought over, but with the eldest prince at her side, Gu Mingmou couldn't give the things away even if she wanted to.
"Thank you for the rewards, Your Highness, Princess and Princess." Gu Mingmou glanced at the maid beside him, and the two of them immediately stepped forward to take the things.
"What kind of reward is this? You have earned it. This Qin... Miss Gu must take good care of it. If the Qin disappears, it will cause big trouble." The eldest prince looked at Gu Mingmou with a half-smile but said in one sentence Just suppress her little thoughts completely.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness." She glanced at the seemingly ordinary guqin from the corner of her eye, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. This was not a win, it was simply an invitation to an ancestor to come home.
Princess Qiyang wants this piano, but the eldest prince has clearly warned her that once the piano leaves her hands, trouble will follow. Of course she didn't want to lose this piano, but would Princess Qiyang really care about her life
Ah…
If it weren't for that invitation, we would be in a dilemma. She glanced at Bai Yixin, who was standing with Princess Jingyang. Bai Yixin seemed to be aware of her gaze, glanced at her briefly and turned away.
Gu Mingmou pinched the tip of her little finger. She remembered everything she owed her, and she would pay it back one by one.
She is nothing now and can only be bullied by others. She will not be trampled under their feet forever.
"Okay, we've had fun, but don't forget the business of today." The third prince raised his voice slightly, with a bit of expectation in his eyes.
Business? Isn’t it just cruise ships? Gu Mingmou was startled, but when he looked at the others, he was not surprised at all.
"Don't you know, Miss Gu? Today, our third cousin is hosting us and inviting us to Xiling to watch the Shui Kui Dance. I heard that the Shui Kui Festival is only held every four years and is very lively." Shen Ying saw her expression blank. , walked to her and explained to her in a low voice.
"Yes, but I haven't told my family yet, I'm afraid..."
"Don't worry, before Xin'an
Someone has been sent to the Gu Mansion to inform that the Shuikui dance will start in the evening, and we will be back early tomorrow morning. "
"That's good." Having said that, Gu Mingmou's heart grew higher and higher. Who knew what would happen if he stayed outside for one night. It's a pity that she has no way out. Since Princess Xin'an dared to set up a trap, she didn't want to let her escape.
And even if she escapes once, there will be another time. If someone is thinking about her, how can she make it easier? Since she can't escape, let her see what Princess Xin'an has prepared for her.
Xiling is on the other side of Jinghu Lake, but it does not belong to the capital city, but to the Jidong region. The reason why this place is well-known is that it has produced queens from two dynasties, and even five concubines. It is a real place of beauty. .
I think the favorite concubine of the last emperor of Daliang who was destroyed by the Yan Kingdom came from Xiling. If it weren't for that beloved concubine, Daliang would have been alive for at least ten years. The so-called beauty harms the country is nothing more than this.
Although there are no more beauties from Xiling entering the palace, the reputation of beauties born in Xiling has long been spread in Kyoto. This time several princes gathered in Xiling, the purpose is self-evident.
Xiling is not far from Kyoto, and it takes two hours to walk by water. Fortunately, there are compartments in the boat, so you don't have to sit all the way to the other side.
Just now, Gu Mingmou won a small game, which made Princess Qiyang look bad all the time. Then she felt the rejection from other people, as if everyone was deliberately ignoring her existence. She simply didn't expect to really integrate into these people. He simply excused himself as having a headache and took the maid to rest.
"He is really unworthy of publicity." After seeing that graceful figure disappear, Princess Xin'an said with a mocking smile.
Princess Qiyang gave her a cold look, still dissatisfied that her plan was wrong and she lost Yue Suqin.
"Xin'an, Miss Gu is your guest after all." Shen Ying looked at Princess Xin'an reproachfully, her tone full of disapproval.
"Sister Ying, you are so kind-hearted. If you had known that she was such a virtuous person, you wouldn't have bothered to let her come with you before. But now you are embarrassing me."
"Maybe Miss Gu is really uncomfortable..." Shen Ying said hesitantly.
"He's just an insignificant person. Is it necessary to keep talking?" Princess Jingyang, who had been quietly drinking tea, suddenly put down her teacup and spoke in a cold tone.
Dan, anyone could hear the dissatisfaction in her tone.
"Jingyang, don't mind, Xin'an has this temper." Shen Ying looked helpless, but she still explained to Princess Xin'an softly.
Princess Jingyang glanced at Shen Ying. Although they were both princesses, they were not familiar with each other, so she didn't say much.
Because Princess Jingyang spoke, the scene suddenly cooled down, and no one mentioned Gu Mingmou again. Soon Princess Jingyang also took people to rest, followed closely by Bai Yixin. When Zhao Xiwan saw this, she also stood up. Before leaving, she glanced at Princess Xin'an with a half-smile, which almost made her angry. At least it was Princess Qiyang's presence that prevented the two from actually quarreling.
The female guests dispersed, and no one mentioned the discord among them. Gu Mingmou rested in a small cubicle, Xiuyue sat on a low stool and fanned her. On the table were ice-cold lychees brought by the maid. The bright white flesh lay tremblingly on the clear ice flakes, which looked very pleasant.
"Girl, I feel that Princess Xin'an has bad intentions." Xiuyue lowered her head and spoke as softly as a mosquito.
Gu Mingmou exhaled and patted Xiuyue on the shoulder. She was not the only one who came with bad intentions.
At this moment, there were three regular knocks outside the door. Xiuyue was startled and just stood up when she saw a piece of paper folded in half being stuffed in through the crack of the door.
She turned her head and glanced at Gu Mingmou. After receiving the signal, she took the note and turned around to hand it over.
Gu Mingmou opened the note and glanced at it, her eyebrows raised high, a little surprised. She didn't expect that someone would be willing to help her, but why did she do it
The blazing sun is setting in the west, the sky is filled with red clouds, and the scenery of Xiling is close at hand. The shore is very lively, and many of the passers-by are pretty women in gorgeous clothes, which makes the tourists who get off the boat even stare. Can't move. Gu Mingmou changed her clothes under Xiuyue's service, and then got off the boat. After walking out of the cabin, she followed Princess Jingyang step by step, regardless of Princess Xin'an's increasingly cold expression.
Princess Xin'an was unhappy when she saw that she wanted to rely on Jingyang. She was about to have a fit but was stopped by Shen Ying. Shen Ying pointed to the four princes in front of her and shook her head.
Princess Jingyang didn't seem to notice the tense atmosphere between the two parties at all. She ignored Gu Mingmou who was following behind, and followed Zhao Xiwan and Bai Yixin to the third prince's annex in Xiling.
