Chapter 19: Recalling Jiangnan
It was too late to avoid now, Gu Yuqi could only lower her head and put on a shy look, pretending that she wouldn't, but she pretended to be a little hard.
The bits and pieces of the person from the previous life came to her mind, nothing specific, but a dull pain still filled the apex of her heart, and the hand she wrapped in her sleeve had lost its temperature.
"I have seen the fifth prince, the seventh prince." Just when Gu Yuqi was looking down at the hem of her skirt, Zhang Wanyi had already left Gu Yuqi and took two steps forward, bowing down.
Her voice was clear and moving, and her posture was calm and graceful, but Gu Yuqi, who was bowing her head, was very ignorant of etiquette.
"Sister Wan Yi, there are no outsiders here, so there's no need to see outsiders. You don't have to stick to those politeness, just call our cousin." Yun Yi said with a smile, his eyes moved to Gu Yuqi who was standing behind, and his smile seemed to be even more prosperous. a few points.
"This is..." he asked knowingly. Ever since he met Gu Yuqi at the Human Market that day, he sent someone to inquire about it, but he didn't expect to meet today.
It's just that this girl's dumb-headed appearance is quite different from the lively and sturdy face in the market that day, and the poem she just said from her mouth is simple but profound, but it is not ordinary. what people can do. It really did not lose her reputation as a prodigy. I really didn't expect this girl to be a female disciple who even Hongru Chen Hanlin praised.
Zhang Wanyi has seven orifices and an exquisite heart. As soon as she saw Yun Yi's gaze, she hurriedly pulled Gu Yuqi, who was standing blankly on the side. "This is the daughter-in-law of the Dingyuan Marquis' family. It's the first time to come here today." After speaking, she whispered to Gu Yuqi, "I haven't seen the two princes yet. It's my fifth cousin and seventh cousin. elder brother."
Her mother and the current queen were sisters, so Zhang Wanyi naturally regarded herself as the cousin of the prince and the princess.
After speaking, she looked at Gu Yuqi proudly.
Gu Yuqi bowed her knees reluctantly, and gave a hasty salute, "I have seen the fifth prince and the seventh prince." Then she retreated behind Zhang Wanyi without a trace.
Gu Yuqi's cowardly performance made Zhang Wanyi very happy, what a talented woman, a well-informed woman, she still looks like she can't take the stage and cower when she sees someone from the heavenly family. Maybe she really has some ink in her stomach, but just because of this petty arrogance, she can't get into the eyes of the royal family. It's just that this Gu Yuqi was born with a naturally charming face. Now that she was so eye-catching when she was young, and with time, I'm afraid that no one can stand out from the noble girls in the capital, so I have to be on guard.
Zhang Wanyi was raised as a future princess or crown princess since she was a child. She has a calm attitude and knows all about the likes of noble ladies in the capital. Today, seeing this Gu Yuqi who only came to Beijing from Jiangnan, she has a lot of heart.
Gu Yuqi's performance so far is satisfactory. She is not like other people's daughters. When she sees the fifth and seventh cousins, she either behaves very shy, or she tries to highlight herself, but behaves according to the rules. Moment to hide behind their own.
Yun Ke's slightly drooping eyes covered the dark tide in his eyes.
He was all too familiar with this verse, when the flowers on the river were red in the sunrise, and the water in the river was as green as blue in the spring.
In the last life, this poem was handwritten on a gold-painted fan that Zhang Wanyi gave him. When she was giving the fan, she once shyly said that this poem was written by her. But later Gu Yuqi said that this poem was copied by Zhang Wanyi. At that time, he naturally wouldn't believe Gu Yuqi's words.
Only now... He raised his eyes slightly and set his eyes on Gu Yuqi, who was hiding behind Zhang Wanyi, and took a careful look. In the last life, he really blamed her.
To be able to make such a verse, it is no wonder that her reputation as a talented woman has quietly spread in the capital in this life.
Whether in the previous life or this life, she has a reputation as a talented woman. It's just that in the last life, he felt that Gu Yuqi's behavior was frivolous and reckless, and most of it was to make a name for herself.
Seeing that Yun Ke, who had always been cold, kept his eyes on Gu Yuqi's body, Zhang Wanyi, although uncomfortable in her heart, still enthusiastically pulled Gu Yuqi to her side.
"This young lady from the Hou Mansion only came to the capital from Jiangnan. It is said that Jiangnan has outstanding people. I looked at the appearance of the Gu family's sister. This is really true." Zhang Wanyi said with a smile. Since she was a child, she has known when to say what to say. The two cousins in front of her are the best among the princes of this generation. Although His Majesty has already established a prince, the news from the palace is that the current sage does not like it. Prince, that is to say, these two people in front of them have no chance at all. Moreover, the present prince was not born by the empress, her concubine had no children, and had only two princesses.
The prince already has a prince concubine. Even if she wants to marry the prince, she can only be a side concubine, which is still a lot worse than the main concubine. Her father was the prime minister of the dynasty. If he stood on Yun Yi's side, he would naturally help him a lot. Yun Yi would consider her to be his concubine. As for Yun Ke, who was just a palace maid, he had no background in the palace, and only relied on the affection he grew up with Yun Yi, not a good match, which is a pity.
The present His Majesty does not like the prince. If the prince falls one day, it is not guaranteed that she will be the future queen in the future.
Gu Yuqi's beauty has just begun to emerge, and she must have a good relationship with Gu Yuqi first. It is obviously unwise to suppress Gu Yuqi now and hide it, because Gu Yuqi's status is destined that her beauty cannot be hidden. Besides, she still has a talent name. In time, she will be famous in the whole Daqi. When she first arrived in the capital, hold her firmly in her hand before she emerges, so that she will not have one more enemy and one less powerful helper in the future.
So she didn't mind introducing Gu Yuqi to Yun Yi and Yun Ke, maybe Gu Yuqi would accept her love in the future.
Zhang Wanyi had her own calculations, so she generously pushed Gu Yuqi out.
Gu Yuqi is a person who complains a lot, and she can't hide, but now she is standing in front of her alive, with those ice-like eyes staring at her intently.
Has he ever looked at himself with such a focused gaze in his last life?
Gu Yuqi's heart froze, maybe she only got his attention at the moment she died, and she lived a really sad life in her last life.
The relationship between Yun Yi and Yun Ke in the previous life was also so good. Yun Ke's mother was only a palace maid, and she died after giving birth to him. He was adopted by Yun Yi's biological mother, Concubine De, so he grew up with Yun Yi. Wherever they go, the two of them are together. Even today's sages often praise their brothers for their harmonious relationship and respect for their brothers and sisters.
Is it really so? Gu Yuqi only sent the word "Haha".
If it is true as the sage said, why did Yun Yi die in Yun Ke's hands in the end? It's a joke in the royal family for such a thing as brother and brother Gong.
Gu Yuqi felt that she was being watched by Yun Ke as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake. She felt uncomfortable all over her body. It happened that a gust of cold wind was blowing, and she shook unconsciously.
