Gu Yuqi sat in the carriage of the Hou's mansion, feeling warm. Although it was winter, the carriage was padded with thick cushions and a heater was placed to block the biting cold wind outside.
Sitting beside Gu Yuqi, Mrs. Liang kept nagging Gu Yuqi who she wanted to see today and what to say when she met them, for fear that her daughter might make a mistake. Gu Yuqi felt that her mother was a little more nervous than herself.
In fact, Mrs. Liang was a little nervous. This was not only the first time for Gu Yuqi, but also the first time for her to appear in the circle of nobles in the capital as Mrs. Dingyuan Hou. It really made her calves twitch a little.
Seeing Mrs. Liang's nervousness, Gu Yuqi couldn't help holding Liang Huaiyu's slightly cold fingertips, "Mother, I think you are more nervous than your daughter, mother, let's not be afraid, just treat those people as Chinese cabbages." .”
Gu Yuqi's words made Liang Shi couldn't help but spit at her, "Okay, nonsense again, those are the wives and daughters of princes and nobles, where did they get Chinese cabbage! Listen carefully, you don't know how to advance and retreat when making jokes!"
However, after being made such a fuss by Gu Yuqi, her nervous heart has calmed down a lot. What her daughter said is true, and her status is considered high enough. Mrs. Hou's mansion, a first-rank imperial order, if she goes up, she can be suppressed by princesses and the like She's gone, isn't it because many people are Chinese cabbage, ignore them, as long as you don't be rude, it's useless to think about other things, if you look forward and backward, you will look stingy instead.
The carriage traveled a long way, exited the east gate of the capital, and drove towards the suburbs of Beijing along the official road.
This time the post was posted by Princess Pinghu. She has a courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing called Lengxiang Courtyard, which is full of various plum blossoms. In the previous life, Gu Yuqi had been there several times, and she was quite familiar with it. For Princess Pinghu, Gu Yuqi only used two words to describe her in her previous life, Kefu.
In this life, she is still Kefu.
Princess Pinghu is the emperor's elder sister of the Holy Majesty, and she is a bit older. She was married three times when she was young. Not surprisingly, her son-in-law left after less than five years of marriage. Princess Pinghu is sad about these love affairs. It's also faded, these years have been widowed, and after getting old, they like to be lively, so they will organize the ladies in the capital to have an outing or something.
Mrs. Liang was afraid of being rude, so she rushed early, and when she arrived at Lengxiang Bieyuan, a few carriages from other houses stopped at the gate.
After being served by the maids, they got out of the car, and the servants at the gate of the other courtyard led them in after reading Liang's post.
In her previous life, Gu Yuqi wished that every time she appeared on the stage, it would rain flowers from the sky and attract everyone's attention. In this life, she wished to become an invisible person, saying that you can't see me, and you can't see me going in like this.
Fortunately, they came early, and there were not many people in the warm pavilion. The maids waiting at the door registered their names inside, and those women who arrived early in the warm pavilion knew who the mother and daughter who came in behind the curtain were.
Liang's first appearance, naturally got a lot of attention, all the wives in the warm pavilion stared at her. The publicity that Chen Hanlin and the teaching nun spared no effort also made Gu Yuqi, the Miss Hou Fu who was raised in a deep house, very famous in the capital. Therefore, Liang Huaiyu and Gu Yuqi attracted everyone's attention as soon as they showed up.
Everyone looked at the mother and daughter carefully from head to toe, especially Gu Yuqi who was following behind Liang. It's really as beautiful as the rumors, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off. These noble ladies looked at Gu Yuqi, and most of them felt a little sour in their hearts. Their own daughters looked beautiful one by one, but they were different from those in front of them. This little girl is always missing something than that
Gu Yuqi only felt that she was a little creepy being looked at, so she involuntarily shrank behind her mother. It shouldn't be, she can already hide herself very well, why does she still attract so many people's attention? Gu Yuqi was a little puzzled.
Sensing her daughter's retreat, Liang Huaiyu straightened her back.
Mrs. Liang was still a little nervous at first, but when she thought of the Chinese cabbage her daughter said and her dependence, she instantly calmed down, with a smile in her eyes, she was pulled by a Mrs. After meeting the other wives and saying a few words, they melted in. Gu Yuqi, the wife of Shangshu, naturally recognizes her. The wife of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Mrs. Wang, is a very enthusiastic person and has a good reputation among noble ladies, so Gu Yuqi can rest assured that her mother will be with her. Naturally, the noble ladies were full of praise on the surface for Gu Yuqi, who showed up for the first time, and kept praising Gu Yuqi for being smart and sensible. This time, not only Gu Yuqi felt strange, but even Liang Huaiyu felt that something was wrong.
She first smiled and socialized with many ladies, and then found some topics to divert the attention of those ladies from Gu Yuqi.
It's not that Mrs. Liang doesn't want others to praise her daughter, but everyone just met her for the first time, and they praised her daughter one by one. No matter how they heard it, they didn't think it was good, not to mention that there were other princes here. Miss is here, and one or two princesses will come in a while. If Gu Yuqi steals the limelight from the princesses for the first time, it will be really bad. She racked her brains to mention some things about her in Jiangnan.
These wives lived in the capital for a long time, and they went to a temple in the suburbs of Beijing to burn incense. When they heard Liang's talk about Jiangnan, they were gradually attracted to them, and asked around Liang Huaiyu about Jiangnan.
Liang was born in a family of military generals. Although she was restrained by her mother, the etiquette in Jiangnan is not so strict. She knows martial arts and is active. When she was a girl, she really traveled to many places and was well-informed. , plus her Jiangnan accent is soft and waxy, which is really pleasant to listen to. With a few words, all the ladies gathered around her.
Gu Yuqi watched those noble ladies finally turn their attention away, and let out a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart. Something is wrong! Something must be wrong! As for what was wrong, she couldn't think of it for a while. If it was in her previous life, she would be happy to receive such attention, but in this life, she wished she could be an invisible person, and the excessive attention gave her goose bumps all over her body.
She looked at the layout inside the Nuan Pavilion, and found that it was completely the same as in the previous life, and she was a little embarrassed in her heart.
"Mrs. Chen from the Prime Minister's Mansion is here with the eldest lady!" The maid at the door announced and opened the curtain.
Gu Yuqi's heartbeat seemed to fluctuate for a few beats, she turned her gaze a little numbly.
I saw a lady in purple walking in with a girl in a white cloak. Under the cloak, a face like a green lotus was revealed, with a water-like beauty, her eyes were like ink dots, and her lips were as pale as water. Cherry dyed.
As expected, it was her, she was always dressed in that spotless white dress, pure as snow for thousands of years, gentle as water for thousands of years, charmingly smiling and charming for thousands of years, invincible for thousands of years. changing…
The moment Gu Yuqi saw Zhang Wanyi for the first time, a faint sneer overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
It's this face, this person, who has framed her so many times, both openly and secretly. Unexpectedly, she used to keep chasing after her and calling her sister sweetly. I really don't know how she called the word "sister" out!
I am also stupid, thinking that she is a beautiful girl from the sky, and she can control other people in the palm of her hand after traveling through time. one.
The one in front of me is like a snow sculpture, the person made of water is the real ruthless one.
Ten years in limbo!
Gu Yuqi lowered her eyes slightly, a bit of coldness flashed across her eyes.
"Anan, come to meet Mrs. Chen and Miss Wanyi." Her mother's voice came from her ear, and Gu Yuqi slowly raised her eyes, a little smile fainted inside, but it didn't reach her eyes.
"Hello, Mrs. Chen, and Miss Wanyi." Gu Yuqi saluted sweetly, and before she could stand up straight, her hand was already held by Mrs. Chen, "This is the daughter of the Dingyuan Houfu. See, she really is a beautiful person." She took Gu Yuqi's hand and smiled familiarly.
A shy smile curled up on Gu Yuqi's lips, "Ma'am, I'm flattering you."
She smiled just right. After Zhang Wanyi came to meet Liang Shi, she also held Gu Yuqi's hand, and said with a smile, "I like this sister, she looks so pretty."
Gu Yuqi was a little stunned, and then she laughed a little, she just lowered her eyes and looked at the perfect hands like jade carvings covering the back of her hands. It was these hands that brought a bowl of medicine to kill her offspring, it was these hands that poisoned her, and it was these hands that sent her to the cold palace.
Zhang Wanyi's unrestrained and generous appearance didn't have any trace of the humility of the elder sister who followed her behind her in her previous life, and she didn't see a trace of the hatred and showing off when she saw her after she was down and down in her previous life.
Gu Yuqi was in a daze, she probably hated Zhang Wanyi.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt that in the previous life, perhaps Zhang Wanyi hated her more. She hates her publicity, her beauty, her daring to love and hate, her talent, everything about her, Zhang Wanyi should hate her deeply, and that's why she puts her worth on her own and is as humble as a maid He followed behind her, intentionally numb her, get close to her, wear off her vigilance, and wait for the opportunity to move.
Gu Yuqi slowly pulled out her hands, raised her eyes and smiled slightly, "How can I compare with you, sister." She said lightly.
In the previous life, she called her sister, but in this life it was the other way around.
Seeing Gu Yuqi's calm expression, Zhang Wanyi didn't say anything more, and just sat down with her mother.
Gu Yuqi sighed slightly, she is such a person, she always knows how to measure, how to advance and retreat, no wonder Yun Ke is only thinking about her, and thinks that she is the only one worthy to sit by his side, the mother of the world.
"Aren't you feeling well?" Sensing her daughter's strangeness, Liang asked in a low voice.
Gu Yuqi came back to her senses, quietly took her mother's arm, and smiled sweetly at her mother, "No." She comforted.
Forget it, the things of the previous life have disappeared, and now that she has lived again, she will naturally live for herself and for Liang Shi, and she will stay away from that person, and there will be no more entanglements with Zhang Wanyi and intersected.
It's not like she didn't have the idea of revenge just now, but what about after the revenge? The cycle of karma and retribution is not good, it is better to seek the peace and happiness of this life, why throw yourself into the cusp of the storm to endure, and count. Now that you have been reborn, you only need to protect the people you want to protect!
Thinking of this, Gu Yuqi's eyes became calm.
