Chapter 14: someone in the backyard
At the beginning, Yun Ke was extremely disdainful of her. In his previous life, even the ceremony of marrying a concubine was sent to Du Xia, who was still a guard at that time, to complete it for him. That is, the night when Gu Yuqi married Yun Ke, she never even saw Yun Ke's face.
How sad!
So Gu Yuqi was deeply impressed by Du Xia. Although she was a stand-in, it was indeed Du Xia who worshipped the world with Gu Yuqi in her previous life. And there were several times in the future, and it was thanks to Du Xia's rescue that Gu Yuqi survived.
She admired Du Xia very much in her last life, and she just admired it. Du Xia also knew his identity and kept the distance that a guard should have towards Gu Yuqi.
It was only after she met Du Xia, who had not grown up yet, in the city of people that she had the idea of marrying Du Xia if she really wanted to marry someone in her life.
She couldn't escape the hurdle of getting married. Although the Hou Mansion was not short of money, there was no reason to raise a daughter for a lifetime. Since you want to get married, it is better to marry a good man who knows the truth.
Du Xia is the legendary good man.
Not only was he born beautiful, and he became a very noble minister at a young age, but he also only married one wife when Gu Yuqi died. Yun Ke, who had already ascended the throne, gave him a palace maid to marry him. The wife was wonderful, and the backyard was as clean as a blank sheet of paper. These gossips were learned by Gu Yuqi when she was listening to other little maids in the cold palace. At that time, the maids in the entire 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 it was not Yun Ke, but Du Xia, her fate would have been different.
Gu Yuqi smiled bitterly and retracted her thoughts.
In the last life, Du Xia's wife was a palace maid. Does she want to infiltrate the palace, and then marry Yunke to him after he ascends the throne? The odds are even smaller than the odds of winning a lottery ticket!
Not to mention that there are more than a thousand maids in the palace, how could she be just a maid just because of her status as the daughter-in-law of the Houfu? She didn't want to have any entanglement with Yun Ke in her life, and even a single sentence felt superfluous, let alone asking her to enter the palace.
Of course, she also had an idea, just like in the previous life, to marry Yun Ke in name, and then knock out Du Xia, who came to replace Yun Ke's worship at the wedding, and then abduct him away. It's quite enjoyable to think about, but what about after the kidnapping? A concubine of the palace eloped with a guard, not to mention that there will be no place for Gu Yuqi and Du Xia in Daqi in the future. People like Yun Ke, who are cold and unloving, will definitely hunt them down to the ends of the earth. At that time, where will she put Liang Huaiyu? And Du Xia's splendid future was also ruined by her.
She can't just cut off someone'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 had to hook Du Xia's heart away under Yun Ke's eyelids.
Gu Yuqi remembers it well. Du Xia is one year older than her. It was only because of long-term malnutrition that she didn't grow in size, so she was as thin as a child. Looking at him after five years would be like a different person.
The best thing is that when Du Xia was sent to the army to train, she married Du Xia, and she was fifteen years old at that time! This will not only avoid Yun Ke, but will not delay Du Xia's future.
It's just that a dignified daughter of her dignified mansion married an obscure secret guard of the royal mansion. No matter how you look at it, this is an unimportant matter.
Trouble! Gu Yuqi held her head and sat back again.
Rouge, who was waiting on the side, didn't know what to do, only to see her young lady standing up and sitting back, her face was sometimes sunny and sometimes sad, and she was scared to reach out and touch her forehead, for fear that she would get hit once when she went out. What an evil wind.
Gu Yuqi was dumbfounded by Rouge's actions, so she could only say that she was bored sitting in the room and wanted to go out for a walk.
Rouge took a cape and put it on for Gu Yuqi, followed behind her out of Danxia Courtyard.
The garden in winter is very bleak, but in the early winter, the plum blossoms in the corner have not yet produced buds, so there is nothing to go around, but Gu Yuqi is confused, so she wanders aimlessly.
Unconsciously, she walked to the back door with Rouge, and then stopped.
Across the flowered window on the low wall of the garden, she caught a glimpse of a man in a cyan cloth who was let in by a maid through the back door.
She knew the maid, who belonged to Concubine Liu Mingyueju, and was dressed in the clothes of a light blue second-class maid.
It was approaching dusk, the light was not very good, and the man in the blue cloth was still bowing his head. Gu Yuqi couldn't see the man's appearance. Judging by his stature, he should be a young man with a bag in his hand. , seems to have come from a long distance, with a feeling of being dusty.
The little girl looked around smartly, Gu Yuqi was busy pulling her rouge, the two of them shrank their heads and hid behind the low wall, Gu Yuqi's heart suddenly beat a few beats faster. The little girl just turned her head suddenly, which startled her.
Rouge obeyed Gu Yuqi's words, and Gu Yuqi had already given her a gesture of silence, and she would not make any sound at all.
Gu Yuqi hid for a while, and listened carefully, only to hear the slight footsteps, knowing that they had left, and then she and Rouge looked out of the stained window again, and sure enough, the little girl didn't notice her and Rouge's existence, and led the way. He walked towards the courtyard with the man.
Gu Yuqi looked at the backs of their departure thoughtfully, and stood by the low wall for a while, before she saw the two servants behind the guard hurriedly come back.
Gu Yuqi raised her eyebrows, she was tricky, she avoided people, and deliberately opened the back door.
A little maid is incapable of doing it. She can transfer the servants from the house and then put a stranger into the Hou Mansion. There are not many people in this mansion who can do this.
