At the beginning, Yun Ke was extremely disdainful to her. In his previous life, even the ceremony of marrying a concubine was sent to Du Xia, who was still a bodyguard at that time, to complete it for him. That is to say, the night when Gu Yuqi married Yun Ke, she didn't even see Yun Ke's face.
How sad!
That's why Gu Yuqi was deeply impressed by Du Xia. Although she was a substitute, the person who worshiped the world with Gu Yuqi in her previous life was indeed Du Xia. Moreover, Gu Yuqi was able to survive several times after she was in danger, thanks to Du Xia's rescue.
In her previous life, she admired Du Xia very much, and it was only appreciation. Du Xia also knew her identity, and kept the distance that a guard should have from Gu Yuqi.
It was just after meeting Du Xia who hadn't grown up in the city that she had the idea that if she really wanted to marry in this life, she would marry Du Xia.
Anyway, she can't escape the hurdle of getting married. Although the Hou's mansion is not short of money, there is absolutely no reason to support a daughter-in-law for a lifetime. Since you want to marry, it is better to marry a good man who knows everything.
Du Xia is the legendary good man.
Not only was he born beautiful, but he became an extremely courtier at a young age, and he only married one wife when Gu Yuqi died. That wife is wonderful, and the backyard is as clean as a sheet of paper. These gossips were learned by Gu Yuqi when she was listening to other young maids in the cold palace. At that time, all the maids in the palace were envious of the person who married Du Xia, saying that she was really lucky.
At the most difficult time, even Gu Yuqi was thinking that if Du Xia was not Yun Ke, then her fate would be different.
Gu Yuqi smiled wryly for a while, and withdrew her thoughts.
In her previous life, Du Xia's wife was a court lady. Could it be that she also wanted to infiltrate the palace, and then marry Yun Ke to him after he ascended the throne? This chance is even smaller than the chance of winning the lottery!
Not to mention that there are more than a thousand maids in the palace, how could she be just a court lady just because of her status as the concubine of the Marquis Mansion, entering the palace is like throwing herself into a trap. She didn't want to have any entanglements with Yun Ke in her life, and she felt that it was superfluous to even say a word, let alone ask her to enter the palace.
Of course, she also thought about marrying Yun Ke in name just like in her previous life, then knocked out Du Xia who came to replace Yun Ke at the wedding ceremony, and then abducted him. It's quite enjoyable to think about it, but what about after the abduction? A palace concubine elopes with the guards, not to mention that there will be no place for Gu Yuqi and Du Xia in Daqi in the future. A person like Yi Yunke who is cold and absolutely loving will definitely chase them to the ends of the earth. When the time comes, where will she take Liang Huaiyu with her? And Du Xia's bright future was ruined by her.
She can't ruin other people's future and put her mother in danger just because of her momentary happiness.
How can she get close to Du Xia without being discovered by Yun Ke? He also wanted to steal Du Xia's heart away under Yun Ke's eyelids.
If Gu Yuqi remembered it well, Du Xia was one year older than her, but because of long-term malnutrition, she was as thin as a child because she had not grown in stature. Waiting to see him five years later, it would be like a different person.
The best thing is that she got married to Du Xia when Du Xia was sent to the army for training, and she was exactly fifteen years old at that time! This will not only avoid Yun Ke, but also won't delay Du Xia's future.
It's just a dignified daughter of the Hou's mansion marrying an unknown secret guard of the palace, no matter how you look at it, it's an out of the ordinary thing.
Worry! Gu Yuqi held her head and sat back down again.
Yan Zhi, who was waiting on the side, didn't know what to do, but saw her lady standing up and sitting back, her face was sometimes sunny, and sometimes full of sorrow, she was so frightened that she wanted to reach out and touch her forehead, for fear that she would get hit once she went out. What evil wind.
Gu Yuqi was dumbfounded by Yan Zhi's actions, so she could only reason that she was bored sitting in the room and wanted to go out for a walk.
Yan Zhi took the cloak for Gu Yuqi to put on, and followed her out of the Danxia Courtyard.
The winter garden is very bleak, it's just early winter, the plum blossoms in the corner haven't produced buds yet, so there's nothing to do, but Gu Yuqi's thoughts are distracted, so she wanders aimlessly.
Unknowingly, she walked to the back door with Rouge, and then stopped.
Through the flower window on the low wall of the garden, she caught a glimpse of a man in blue cloth being let into the back door by a servant girl.
She knew that servant girl, she was from Aunt Liu's Mingyue Residence, and she was wearing a light blue second-class servant girl's attire.
It was approaching dusk, the light was not very good, the man in the green cloth was still bowing his head, Gu Yuqi couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, he should be a young man with a bundle in his hand , seems to have come from a far away place, with a sense of travel and dust.
The little maid looked around alertly, Gu Yuqi hurriedly pulled the rouge, the two shrank their heads, and hid behind the low wall, Gu Yuqi's heart beat a few beats suddenly. The little maid suddenly turned her head just now, which startled her.
Rouge was obedient to Gu Yuqi's words, Gu Yuqi had already given her a silent gesture, but she would not make a sound.
Gu Yuqi hid for a while, listening attentively, only heard the slight sound of footsteps, and knew that they had left, so she and Yanzhi poked their heads out of the flower window to have a look again, sure enough, the little maid didn't notice the existence of her and Yanzhi, and led Follow the man towards the inner courtyard.
Gu Yuqi looked thoughtfully at their leaving backs, and stood by the low wall for a while, before seeing the two servants behind the guards come back in a hurry.
Gu Yuqi raised her eyebrows, she was tricky, avoided people, and deliberately pushed away the servants at the back door.
A little servant girl is incapable of doing this. There are not many people in this mansion who can transfer a servant from the family and let a stranger into the Marquis' mansion.
