Chapter 51: Justify The Loss
Chapter 51 Reasoning for the loss
Chu You was taken aback when the news reached the capital.
He clearly reached an agreement with the Nanyue people, and the Nanyue emperor also stated in the letter that he would send someone to Danyang City to have a detailed discussion with him. At this critical moment, the Nanyue people suddenly turned their faces. Not only did they set fire to the prefecture, they even assassinated He Zhifu, which is equivalent to life Cut Danyang City from his hands.
Chu Yi was also in Danyang City when the incident happened.
To say that it is too clever, but to say what Chu Yi did, there seems to be no clues enough to verify this.
Chu Yi hasn’t done anything out of the ordinary since he returned to Beijing. He has always looked sick and crooked. He rarely sees outsiders.
Yuan Zhe was also thoughtful and said solemnly: “In short, the life of the eldest prince is a threat.”
Chu You nodded in silence.
“His Royal Highness, do you want to go and see who the eldest prince is?” Yuan Zhe once again looked at the shadowy shadow beside Chu Yi, and said to himself: The eldest prince is already eighteen years old. already married.
Just as the queen mother has been worrying about King Kang’s marriage, the emperor is also considering the marriage of the eldest prince…
Chu You originally wanted to say no, he didn’t put a mere woman in his eyes at all, but when the words came to his lips, his heart moved, and he felt that the silhouette he had just seen through the gap in the bamboo curtain seemed a little familiar.
He also raised his head again, his sharp eyes cast on the hazy soft side face of the window.
The girl behind the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang suddenly leaned forward, raised her hand and lowered the half-raised bamboo curtain.
This action made her profile exposed from behind the bamboo curtain, clearly reflected in Chu You’s eyes below.
is her! Chu You’s eyes suddenly widened, unable to hide his shock.
“Your Highness, do you recognize this girl?” Yuan Zhe saw something strange from Chu You’s expression.
Chu You: “…”
This is……
Why is she with Chu Yi? !
Chu You still remembers the things that happened in Jingwang’s mansion.
Originally, he could ask his mother to marry him and his son, but Gu Yanfei destroyed it.
Chu You subconsciously clenched his fists, his joints rattled, and he couldn’t help feeling uneasy.
Gu Yanfei is a country woman who just arrived. How did these two people who are so different from each other get together? !
This incomprehensible feeling made Chu You very disgusted, as if something was beyond his control.
Chu You’s eyes were cloudy, and the falling bamboo curtain was like a door closed in front of him and Yuan Zhe.
The bamboo curtain blocked the direct sunlight coming from the window, Gu Yanfei in the private seat felt much more comfortable, and adjusted his sitting position in a leisurely manner.
The shopkeeper carefully put seven or eight wine jugs and a small plate on the table, and bowed again and again with a smile: “This is the wine the girl ordered, you two take it slow.”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he abruptly withdrew from his seat.
In the elegant seat, all kinds of wine aromas overflowed, and they combined into an intoxicating smell.
Gu Yanfei looked at the table full of wine that he had just ordered, and rolled up his sleeves with slightly curved eyebrows, then skillfully mixed the rice wine, honey water, rose syrup, etc., shook the wine jug gently, and finally poured the wine again. Sprinkle some finely crushed rose petals in the liquid, and this series of movements is elegant and smooth.
She poured two glasses of wine from the jug, one for herself and the other for Chu Yi, and said with a smile, “Try it, it’s an apology for my family, Qingguang, I cut its nails when I went back that day.”
She pointed to Chu Yi’s cuff, referring to the fact that Qingguang scratched his cuff last time.
“…” Chu Yi could almost imagine the expression on the three-flowered cat’s nails when she was horrified and suspicious of Maosheng, and laughed lightly.
His laughter is very sweet, like a stream passing through a summer stream, gently rubbing against one’s eardrums, making the tip of the ear ticklish.
Chu Yi raised his hand to take the wine glass, pursed his thin lips and took a sip from the mouth of the glass, savoring it carefully, his pleasant smile warmed his originally cold brows.
He drank very slowly, as if he was drinking tea. On the contrary, Gu Yanfei was very rude and drank it in one gulp.
Gu Yanfei left Qiongfangzhai after a stick of incense, with a three-point faint sense of intoxication on his face, refreshed.
It was a rare trip, so she didn’t go back to Hou’s mansion right away and wandered along Zhenhua Street.
In the last life, although she lived in the capital for a few years, she hardly ever left the mansion.
With the money she just won from the polo match, she went shopping and buying all the way. In addition to buying some snacks, sachets, and silk flowers, she also bought some cinnabar, talisman paper, silver needles and medicinal materials before slowly setting foot on the road Homecoming.
By the time she returned to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, it was almost dusk.
The sun sets in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun burns the flowing clouds in the sky, dyeing a colorful sunset.
The evening wind roared, and the leaves of the plane trees on both sides of the street fell in the continuous drizzle of the past few days, only the barren branches stretched out into the sky with their claws and claws.
After entering the Hou Mansion through the corner gate, Gu Yanfei saw a double-horse chariot parked at the Waiyi Gate.
Gu Yanfei couldn’t help but pause, his gaze stopped for a moment on the gorgeous carriage in front of him.
This is the carriage of the British duchess, she has seen it in the last life.
Gu Yanfei didn’t say a word, the concierge next to her noticed her gaze and said with a smile: “Second girl, the British lady has arrived in half an hour.”
The old woman’s eyes lit up, and there was a strange excitement in her expression.
Gu Yanfei walked forward against the cold night wind, and the finely broken leaves and flowers rushed toward her face.
Gu Yanfei is no stranger to the British lady-in-law.
In her previous life, after she returned to the capital, she once visited the British public mansion with Mrs. Hou’s wife, Mrs. Wang. She still remembered that the British duchess was so critical of her, and the contemptuous eyes of the other party pierced her like a needle.
At that time, the British lady-in-law hardly ever said anything to Gu Yanfei, but she said it to Mrs. Wang, sneering and sneering inside and out:
After a while, he said that Gu Yanfei was a country girl, and his words and demeanors were not on the table;
After a while, I said that I don’t know what Gu Yanfei has experienced in the past fourteen years;
After a while, he said that Gu Yanfei couldn’t understand chess, calligraphy, calligraphy, and calligraphy, and he didn’t know big characters.
…
The other party’s remarks made Gu Yanfei feel ashamed, and he really wanted to dig a hole and get in.
The past clearly appeared in her mind again, flashing like a marquee.
“Second girl!” A slightly excited female voice came from the other side of the Waiyi Gate, and also called Gu Yanfei back from his thoughts.
The old woman in the back slapped her thigh and said, “Miss Qingshuang has been waiting for you for a while.”
While speaking, a beautiful maid in green clothes walked towards Gu Yanfei from the door of Waiyi, and bowed her knees and said, “Second girl, Mrs. Tai invites her to come over.”
Gu Yanfei stopped and looked at the incomparably luxurious carriage a few feet away again. The sunset over the sky cast a magnificent color on the carriage.
The British public mansion is very popular in the court, and its status now far surpasses that of the Dingyuan marquis mansion. marriage!
It wasn’t until half a year later that the Fang family made a random excuse to leave the family on the grounds that she had been in the same car with the man in Danyang City.
Gu Yanfei has never understood these things.
