Gu Qingyuan did not feel the prying eyes. She sat on the horse and looked at the white mountain peaks in the distance, feeling relaxed and happy.
The wind blew past her ears. She sat on the horse and turned back to smile at Pei Jinting, her hair flying.
Pei Jinting's originally solemn face, when he saw Gu Qingyuan looking over, he immediately raised the corners of his lips and waved to her casually.
At some point, Crown Prince Jing stood side by side with him, admiring him as he watched his expression change faster than he could turn the pages of a book.
The cold wind was blowing in the winter, but Prince Jing was shaking a feather fan in his hand for the sake of being suave and romantic.
He sighed in admiration, "Who would have thought that Mr. Pei San, who used to wander among the flowers, was simply a wife slave."
As Prince Jing said this, he couldn't help himself and laughed.
Pei Jinting curled his lips indifferently, without moving his eyes away from Gu Qingyuan, and said in a clear voice:
"It feels a bit pity..."
Prince Jing's eyes lit up and his mind turned slightly. Pei Xiaosan regretted being trapped too early.
However, think about it, even if this guy went to the flower house, those flower girls would not be able to get close to him.
To him, that would be a pity.
The money was spread out in large areas, but the freshness was not tasted.
"It's a pity... some people can't even do what they want to do." Pei Jinting paused, with a leisurely tone, leaving Prince Jing behind and walked towards Gu Qingyuan who stopped in front.
Prince Jing: "..."
Pei Xiaosan had snatched all the bamboo shoots on the mountain.
But how did he know that he wanted to marry Qin Xiang but was rejected?
Prince Jing shook his fan desperately, Pei Xiaosan was really hateful.
In the front, Pei Jinting helped Gu Qingyuan straighten the saddle, told her not to run too fast, and then returned to the original place.
Prince Jing tsked again and told Pei Jinting the new information he had obtained, "You are hiding here to take some time off. King Qin doesn't have that."
He also knew that the Duke of Zhen was betrayed by his wife, and that Princess Rongchang was deceived.
That person is the King of Qin and his group.
This matter is like a pustule that has not been exposed yet. Rumors are circulating in the big family.
It is said that after King Qin got the news, all the tea sets in the palace were broken.
Prince Jing waved his fan, glanced at Pei Jinting, and said, "I have something else you don't know about."
He had to let Pei Jinting guess and win back the victory.
Unexpectedly, Pei Jinting had already spoken, "The King of Qin wants to marry a concubine, a girl from the Ming family, right?"
Prime Minister Ming originally wanted to appear to be independent of both sides, and the prince also asked to marry a girl from the Ming family, but he was rejected.
At that time, there was news that Prime Minister Ming wanted to marry his granddaughter to Pei Jinting.
Prince Jing paused while waving the fan, "You also know this?"
"Heh. You seem to be very busy. Shouldn't you be turning a blind eye to what's going on outside the window? How come the news comes faster than me, a person who travels among flowers?"
Although he has not moved to Zhuangzi in the past few days, he had heard the news before and has been watched in the capital.
Prince Jing sighed slightly and looked at Zhuangzi next door from a distance. He squinted for a while and said, "Then, is that Zhuangzi of the Ming family over there? Why is Ming Zhongqiu there?"
Pei Jinting looked up.
The man who had just spied on Gu Qingyuan was still standing in the corridor of the attic.
"Are you from the Ming family?" Pei Jinting frowned.
Prince Jing has been wandering among flowers for a long time and has met many more playboys than Pei Jinting.
Although he couldn't see his face clearly, his posture showed that he was that guy from Ming Zhongqiu.
Are you spying on the eldest girl of the Gu family?
He put away his fan, raised his chin, and said, "It's not a good thing to live next to that guy Ming Zhongqiu."
Pei Jinting's eyes were dark, the corners of his mouth curved, and his tone was casual, "Then just don't be neighbors with him."
Prince Jing found it inconceivable that Pei Xiaosan was so generous today that he would even consider taking a step back.
Pei Jinting raised his eyebrows and said, "Just let him disappear into the Zhuangzi next door."
Anyway, he also wanted to deal with the people of the Ming family, so he would start from Ming Zhongqiu.
The first thing he did was to dig out his eyes.
Prince Jing sneered, knowing that he was still too naive.
Can't beat Pei Xiaosan.
Time is like water, sliding towards New Year's Eve.
Gu Qingyuan moved back from Zhuangzi to Zhenguogong Mansion three days ago.
On New Year's Eve, Beijing was very busy.
The same is true in the palace.
That night, the emperor held a banquet for all his ministers.
Gu Qingyuan also put on her makeup and rushed to the New Year's Eve palace banquet with Gu Shao.
During the New Year's Eve palace banquet, the royal family was placed in the most gorgeous Xianren Hall. As the night fell, bonfires were lit everywhere, and the fire was dazzling, covering the golden palace with a layer of red gauze.
Gu Qingyuan's dress today was very solemn and gorgeous, without too many bright colors, but still dazzling.
Anyone who sees this will sigh in their hearts, no wonder the third son of the Pei family falls under this woman's skirt again and again.
Gu Qingyuan could also sense that everyone in the hall looked at her with strange looks, including curiosity, pity, envy, and disdain.
This year's time and the continuous hardships have made her more determined than before. Faced with these looks, she is calm and calm.
After entering the palace, Gu Shao gave Gu Qingyuan some instructions and then asked her to follow the palace attendants to where the female family members were seated.
"I'll meet my colleagues at the front, you need to worry more."
With that said, he asked his entourage to stuff a purse into the chamberlain who was leading the way.
In the past, Gu Shao would never have thought of this.
There was a low table where the female family members sat, and everyone gathered together to talk about homely matters.
Gu Qingyuan sat, remembering that Qin Xiang was alone in the house today, and just wanted to end here quickly and go back to accompany Qin Xiang.
Prince Jing once said that he would take Qin Xiang to spend the New Year with him, but Qin Xiang refused.
The two of them seemed to be at odds now, and looking at Qin Xiang's face, he looked a little bad these days.
Not long after, the palace banquet began, with silk and bamboo dancing, singing and dancing.
After sitting down, Gu Qingyuan keenly felt a hot gaze scanning her back.
Later, the gaze became even more unconquerable.
Gu Qingyuan frowned, taking advantage of the opportunity to drink tea, she looked around with her peripheral vision, but could not find the source of her gaze.
She put down the tea cup, rubbed her forehead and heart, turned her head and spoke to the female family members beside her, summoned the palace attendants standing in the distance, stood up and left the table.
As soon as I walked out of the warm hall, the biting cold wind of winter hit my face.
The news of that scorching gaze made Gu Qingyuan feel relieved.
In the vast darkness of the night, Gu Qingyuan did not go far, but before she walked a few steps, a lantern light shone from the corner, and then a fat black figure walked towards the bright corridor.
The man looked at her with a smile, "What's your last name? Which family do you belong to?"
He had the air of being aloof and asking questions from a noble person.
Gu Qingyuan looked at the person who asked the question. He was dressed in brocade and had a jade crown on his head. He looked like he was almost thirty.
Not wanting to talk to him, he turned around and led the person away.
When the man saw that she was about to leave, he immediately winked and asked someone to stop her.
