At that night banquet in the palace, Gao Daimei's plain hands moved lightly, and he sang and wept as he sang "Pursuing Phoenix"; he danced his sword under the moonlight, and his tall and heroic posture was as bright as jade.
But she sat in front of her grandfather, drinking sweet-scented osmanthus wine out of curiosity, and fell drunk under Su Ziyu's sword.
What happened later became a bit vulgar.
Yin Daimei deliberately approached Su Ziyu for her sake. She foolishly regarded her as her confidant and told her all her thoughts. It was not until she discovered the existence of those handwritings that she realized that she had lured the wolf into the house.
She tore up the poems in a rage, rushed out of Su Ziyu's study, and then ran to the British Duke's Mansion, slapped Yin Daimei in the face, and questioned her shamelessness.
However, Yin Daimei smiled faintly, gently touched her slightly swollen face with her bare hands, and said softly: "Qian Ziqi, look at your whole body, is there any point in your body that is worthy of Su Ziyu? You have to have looks but not looks, and you have to have abilities but not ability, Even the maid next to me looks more like a lady than you."
She looked around herself and took a few steps back. The love rival's merciless slander was like a poisoned knife, cutting her bloody.
She kept her eyes open and thought hard all night. The next day, she knelt down in front of her parents with red eyes and asked for permission to marry. Since their husband is in love and his concubine is interested in her, why not make it happen on her own.
She, Qian Ziqi, has nothing to do, but she has a shallow self-esteem hidden in her heart. If you are merciless, I will give up. Why live like that sad woman
However, all the self-esteem was no match for Su Ziyu's words, "Ziqi, why did you want to be a deserter if you promised to do it for the rest of your life?"
She burst into tears and choked up words.
"Silly girl, if I really cared about it, how could I let you see it? She is just a stranger to me. Accepting her is a sign of respect for a woman. The friendship between you and me over the years is more difficult than Not a few words from others.”
There was a pained expression on his face, with sunken eyes and chapped lips. His only pair of eyes shone like stars, and her shadow was reflected in them.
"Ziqi, what are you afraid of?" He habitually put his hand on her head.
She remained stubborn and silent.
Yes, she was afraid in her heart. Yin Daimei was so outstanding. Standing next to her, she was like the stars and the moon. People in the world can only see the nobility and brightness of the moon, but not the naughty and cuteness of the stars.
"Of all the flowers in the world, the only one that catches my eye is you. In my eyes, you are the only one."
The person in front of her sighed, made a very inappropriate move, and hugged her, "Fool, why are you not overbearing this time?"
Her eyes became hot and she shed tears.
I really looked like a fool, being stimulated by a few words and sentences and couldn't tell the difference between north and south. She and Su Ziyu had known each other since they were young, and nearly ten years had passed. With such a love, even if she, Yin Daimei, was a fairy, she wouldn't be able to take him away.
After crying enough, she raised her teary eyes and said word by word: "Su Ziyu, don't regret it. When I become domineering, the color of the world will change."
A faint and silly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he pushed her head into his arms again, and a nice and deep voice came from the top of his head.
"Qian Ziqi, the color of heaven and earth changes when you cry. My internal organs are all hurt by your crying."
The words of love sounded so beautiful, and after traveling through thousands of mountains and rivers, and through the vicissitudes of time, even though the pain of that arrow was still there, she still has not forgotten it.
Qingguan squeezed the handkerchief and touched her chest, the coldness in the corners of her eyes became even stronger.
"You three sisters, let's take a walk to the flower garden over there while the sunshine is good. This spring garden is quite interesting. Ziyu, Lifeng, you can come too."
Yin Dai stood up with brimming eyebrows and walked out first. Su Ziyu paused and followed.
Yin Lifeng was willing to wait for Qing Guan to leave together, but he was surrounded by two concubines, one on the left and one on the right.
"Prince Yin, let's go." Gu Qingyun smiled.
"Prince Yin, please watch your step." Gu Qinglian said caringly.
Qingguan glanced at Yueniang, who looked like she suddenly understood.
No wonder the lady wanted to call the two concubines. This was her original intention. Prince Yin was pestered by the two of them and had no chance to talk to the young lady.
"Wow, Miss Eight, there are all kinds of flowers in your garden. They are so beautiful." Gu Qingyun looked exaggerated.
Yin Daimei said humbly: "Where is it? Compared with the flowers in the back garden of the palace, they are nothing."
"Eighth young lady should come to the palace often." Gu Qinglian's eyes were full of envy.
"I don't come in often, I go there occasionally."
Yin Daimei looked at Su Ziyu with a smile and said, "Ziyu, that peony is blooming beautifully. You pick it for me."
"Miss Eighth likes peonies?" Gu Qinglian asked hurriedly.
"Only the peony is the true national beauty. Compared with it, the other flowers are inferior. Sister, do you think so?" Yin Dai looked at Qingguan with a pointed eyebrow.
Qing Guan raised her eyebrows and smiled. She glanced at Su Ziyu's slender back from the corner of her eyes and said with a clear smile: "There are thousands of flowers in the world, but this orchid catches my eye. Sister, I only don't like peonies."
Su Ziyu stopped picking flowers, and Qingguan looked away as she wished, with an innocent smile, and met Yin Daimei's searching eyes.
The coldness in Yin Dai's eyebrows flashed away, and in an instant she turned into a smiling face again, "Why doesn't my sister like peonies?"
"Because... she has too many petals, and they are wrapped so well, layer upon layer. I don't know which layer I can use to see her inner part."
Qingguan didn't wait for everyone to react, took two steps forward, smiled and said: "Mr. Su also likes peonies."
Su Ziyu straightened up, took a deep look at Qingguan, and said without hesitation: "I like it."
Yin Daimei's smiling face became even more proud, and she said softly: "Ziyu and I have the same preferences."
Qingguan's eyes were cold, her delicate hands moved slightly, and she boldly took the flower from Su Ziyu's hand, held it in front of her eyes, looked at it, and then handed it to Yin Daimei's hand.
"Sister Daimei, look at the stamens of this flower, which are all black. It's incredible that some people like a flower with a black heart. Yue Niang, let's go over there."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone suddenly changed their color.
Yin Lifeng saw his sister's face darken and hated Qingguan for speaking nonsense, so he hurriedly scolded: "Gu Qingwan, you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, no one will think you are mute."
Qingguan looked back and said with a half-smile, "Master, I just talk about flowers, can't I say this too?"
"You..." Yin Lifeng was speechless.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to pay attention to her. Sixth Sister sometimes likes to talk nonsense." Gu Qingyun stepped forward warmly to smooth things over.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we are all used to it." Gu Qinglian's face flashed with a blush, and she said affectionately.
Qingguan didn't care at all, raised his eyebrows, turned and left, leaving the group of people behind.
Yin Daimei, it turns out that as the most talented woman in the capital, you are worried about gains and losses in front of the one you love, and you also lower your profile.
In this way... the next scene will be exciting!
After enjoying the flowers, Yin Daiwei and Su Ziyu left together, and the two concubines disappeared.
Yin Lifeng stood calmly in front of Qingguan, his handsome face filled with joy.
Qingguan had long known that today's trip would not be so simple, and there must be something waiting for her. Therefore, she did not panic, but looked at the man in front of her with a smile.
"Gu Qingwan, I called you here today because I want to tell you something."
The man's fine incense blew against his face with the wind. Qingguan took two steps back and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."
"Have you... ever told me about this?" Yin Lifeng hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth.
Gu Qingguan suddenly changed his face and sneered: "What does the prince mean by saying this?"
Yin Lifeng hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong. I see that you are living a difficult life in the Gu family, and there is no one to make decisions for you. Your identity is also related to the Qian family. No young master from a wealthy family will be willing to marry you." Yes. I can protect you as long as you want."
The words were spoken so openly that Qingguan would be a fool if he couldn't hear them anymore.
"May I ask, Master, do you want to marry me?"
"No... no... no."
Yin Lifeng waved his hands repeatedly and said: "The position of a head wife is definitely not enough, but I can guarantee a concubine. I know I am wronging you, but don't worry, you must be a concubine with your status."
A noble concubine, I really think highly of her.
Gu Qingguan was angry and laughed, and decided to solve this problem once and for all, so as to avoid having to deal with all kinds of tricks.
She took a step forward, looked directly at him, and said softly: "Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty. Although I, Gu Qingwan, am stupid, I also understand the orders of my parents and the words of the matchmaker. Such private exchanges are definitely not for a woman in a boudoir. The rules that should be followed.”
"What are the rules again? Rules are dead, people are alive. I'm doing this for your own good." Yin Lifeng jumped to his feet.
"I can't afford the prince's kindness."
Qingguan sneered, "Please ask the prince to raise your noble hand and harm other girls."
"A scourge... you said I was a scourge." Yin Lifeng became anxious.
"Of course you are a disaster. Your trip to the Gu Mansion put Sister Ling in the spotlight and ruined her reputation. Now you are saying this to me in broad daylight. Prince, no matter how difficult my life is, I, Gu Qingwan, will never do anything. I don’t want to be your concubine.”
Yin Lifeng's face was red and equatorial, "You... you... are simply ignorant."
Seeing that he was anxious, Qingguan decided to add more ingredients. He would have to trample him to death in one go before he could let out such a bad breath, "Of course I know what is good and what is good, and I know that people of different ways do not work together. But you, the prince, want to accept me What are you thinking about for my concubine?”
"What kind of peace of mind do I have? Tell me!"
Qingguan smiled, with a strange smile, "A nephew of a noble concubine actually wants to accept the daughter of the Gu family. Master, could it be that the wise king can't defeat the Rui king and deliberately sacrifices you to win over the Gu family?"
"How dare you make random guesses and discuss state affairs. How could I...how could the Duke of Yingzhou..." Yin Lifeng was completely enraged by her.
"Your British government always likes to do this kind of thing. If you can use the eighth young lady to win over the Su family, you can use you, the prince, to win over the Gu family. Tsk tsk tsk... It's a pity that the Su family has been trying to win over the Su family for six years, and the eighth lady is still the same. I don't know where my previous methods have gone?" "You... you..." Yin Lifeng was so angry that his eyes were red, as if he was about to burst out with anger.
