Chapter 11 - Shizi

Gao Ran was taken aback by this thought. Lin Weixi noticed the gaze on his side and turned his face to ask, "What's the matter?"

Gao Ran's heart was pounding, she looked at the face in front of her that was completely different from that of Gao Xi, and smiled secretly that she was thinking too much. Lin Weixi was not in the slightest similar to Gao Xi in terms of identity, appearance, or personality. What's more, Gao Xi was dead, and Gao Ran even personally applied the incense in front of her spirit.

Gao Xi, who relied on his grandmother to rob someone of a marriage, eventually repaid himself, not his own, and it was useless to grab it. And the woman in front of her, except for a face, had no merit, she was just a stepping stone on Gao Ran's path of being alone.

Gao Ran calmed down a bit and said to Lin Weixi with a smile: "Ms. Lin should have suffered a lot on this road? But when I get to the palace, it will be fine. I will tell my servants to pick up Ms. Lin from the dust. The girl can rest well."

Gao Ran asked someone to replace Lin Weixi with a brand new bedding. Lin Weixi interrupted Gao Ran and said, "The concubine, let me take it easy. I will bring everything I need to eat, wear, shelter, and travel. Uncle Zhou will leave the front yard in a while. I don't need the concubine Zhang Luo to move here. As for the yard where I live temporarily...His Royal Highness said that he has his own arrangements, and the concubine doesn't care about it."

Lin Weixi revealed a non-cooperative attitude from head to toe, preventing Gao Ran from being a sister. He didn't need Gao Ran's prepared bed and quilt. Now he didn't even want Gao Ran to intervene. Although Gao Ran was still smiling, the stiffness of her mouth revealed her true mood. The mother Tao behind Gao Ran is already a bit displeased. Ever since she came to the Yanwang Mansion, Gao Ran has turned against her family's aggrieved aggrievedness. She is always the master of the house, and the son is very fond of Gao Ran. As the tide rose, the spirit gradually rose. Now an orphan girl who has just arrived dare to show her face to the concubine, why?

Mother Tao was angry, and she said, "The concubine of the empire is the mistress of the house, and the entire prince's affairs are under the control of the concubine of the prince and concubine. Miss Lin has such a strong posture that we don't have to eat, wear, shelter and travel. Concubine, if you want to come to a rich family, can you have all the applications?"

"Mother Tao." Gao Ran drank softly, scolding, "Miss Lin is a guest."

Lin Weixi smiled, no wonder Gao Ran succeeded in marrying her brother-in-law as a concubine, and she spoke and acted well. This sentence of her was clearly a reproach, but when she said "Miss Lin is a guest", she sat down to the point that Lin Weixi was unreasonably making trouble. It was clear that her family was poor and her heart was higher than the sky.

Lin Weixi hugged the hand stove, covered her lips and coughed twice. After the cough passed, Lin Weixi's cheeks were stained with an abnormal blush, which became more and more stunning, but her tone was completely opposite and careless: "I can't say much. Okay, my father is a first-class loyal and brave prince of Qinfeng, and he has a thousand hectares of land. Now my father only has a drop of my blood.

Wanyue deserves to have been carefully disciplined by the magistrate's wife. Seeing this, Lin Weixi immediately surrounded Lin Weixi and said: "Although our girl has lost her youth, she is a worthy daughter of the Hou Ye. Zhongyue Hou sacrificed her life for the country, loyal and filial, we As the only daughter of Zhongyonghou, the girl is also after Zhonglie."

Gao Ran didn't look pretty when she heard this. She actually forgot that Lin Weixi had a nominal grandfather Hou. Lin Weixi was the child of a martyr in his previous life. From school to employment, she has many benefits, and she puts more emphasis on reputation. The ancient times of the clan is even more remarkable.

Zhongyonghou is just a reputation, no mansion and no real power, but he died for the country. If Lin Weixi is a boy, relying on the name of loyalty and courage, he will be in the army in the future. Even if Lin Weixi is just a girl, rely on The honorary legacy left by Zhongyong Hou is enough for a lifetime. But Mother Tao just tried to give Lin Weixi a disarm... Gao Ran's face was ugly, but she soon concealed her smile, she pretended to be angry, and said, "Mother Tao, after Miss Lin is loyal and brave, I admire her in private. Now it's too late to see Miss Lin happy, what are you talking about?"

Mother Tao hurriedly lowered her head in response and retreated behind Gao Ran. Lin Weixi has been standing irrelevant to himself. Seeing this scene, he stroked his sleeves, then looked up at the vermilion pillars of the palace, and said slowly: "I just came to the capital and I don't understand the rules in the capital, so I dare not say much on the road. But looking at the actions of the people around the concubine Shizi, do you not need to be punished if you say something wrong in the capital? Even if you are mean to the guests, the master can just say a word.

Gao Ran smiled stiffly on his face: "Miss Lin..."

Lin Weixi looked back fearlessly into Gao Ran's eyes: "Why, what else does Shi Zifei want to teach me?"

Gao Ran was suffocated by Lin Weixi's eyes with how you can stand me. After looking at each other for a while, Gao Ran didn't dare to let go of the harsh words of the children of martyrs, and said with a sullen face: "Mother Tao, I'm too indulgent to you. Even if you don't know how high the sky is, have you apologized to Miss Lin soon."

Mother Tao's expression was stunned. Since she followed Gao Ran to King Yan's Mansion, the treatment is almost heaven and earth compared to the British government's mansion. She is used to the majesty of a maid in charge, and now she is asked to give one in front of many servants. The sixteen-year-old girl apologized, which was simply tearing her face. Mother Tao actually didn't care about Lin Weixi. Isn't it just a muddy leg? Even if her father was banned by the prince, Lin Weixi could not change that Lin Weixi was a village girl. Mother Tao looked at Gao Ran in disbelief. After touching Gao Ran's eyes, Mother Tao was discouraged and apologized to Lin Weixi with a shy old face: "It's the old slave who has lost his body and has lost his body and offended Lin. Please forgive Lin. crime."

Lin Weixi's delicate chin did not move, but he glanced at Mother Tao with his eyelids down. The posture was condescending, and his tone was not salty: "Get up. This time, you just spoke rudely to me. I looked at His Royal Highness Yan's face. I won't hold you accountable, if you dare to say that the loyalty is not the next time, then no one will take care of you for the crime of disrespect to the court hero."

After speaking, Lin Weixi didn't even bother to look at Mother Tao and Gao Ran, and walked straight forward. Gao Ran has rarely been ignored by people since she married into King Yan's Mansion. She was taken aback for a moment, and anger appeared in her eyes, but in the end she pressed it down and hurriedly pursued Lin Weixi.

"Miss Lin, since you don't want to arrange a yard, where are you going to stay now?"

Lin Weixi paused, and immediately slowed down. She almost forgot that it was the first time she came to Yanwang Mansion, so she shouldn't know the way. Lin Weixi concealed a low cough, and said, "Troubled, the concubine led me to stay in the living room. His Royal Highness Yan has a great favor to me. I always have to wait for him to come back and ask him for An."

Gao Ran has nothing to say. In fact, in this short moment, Gao Ran's evaluation of Lin Weixi can be described as falling again and again. She now understands that this is not a small white flower in a popular sense, but a figure with some tricks and a little thorny head. Suddenly moving in such an opponent, it seems that Gao Ran still has a long way to go.

The flames in Gao Ran's heart grew more and more high. She lowered her head to conceal the hostility and aggressiveness in her eyes. When she raised her head again, she looked gentle and generous: "Miss Lin is really sentimental and righteous, and when my father comes back to see you so caring, she will definitely do I am very pleased. Miss Lin comes with me, the hall of the inner house is here."

Lin Weixi was stunned for a moment before realizing that Gao Ran's "father" refers to King Yan. Lin Weixi felt a little complicated, and at the same time he was a little uncomfortable. Gao Ran was an attempt to demonstrate to Lin Weixi through close relations? Lin Weixi thought to himself, since the truth is about being close, he might decide who would put eye drops on whom.

Lin Weixi fell ill on the road and burned up that night. Her mind was burnt at the time, but she was extremely keen on the surrounding sounds. She was dizzy and heard some footsteps. She tried to open her eyes and saw King Yan sitting on the bed, poking her forehead solemnly, twisting her eyebrows without speaking, and passed a moment. Yes, I brought the doctor over. Lin Weixi lay inside, only the faint voice of conversation outside. Even when discussing his condition, King Yan made people lower his voice.

In response to the kindness of this illness, Lin Weixi knew that he had not chosen the wrong person for the idol of King Yan for so many years. Although he had planted King Yan on his son, King Yan himself could not even find the reason for Lin Weixi's anger. Lin Weixi was swearing when he saw King Yan for the first time. The tricks were revealed later, he was seen without washing his face, and he was taught to make a temper... The ugliness that Lin Weixi could think of was over, so Lin Weixi was calm in front of Gu Huiyan. It would be worse, even if she clearly did not like Gao Ran, Gu Huiyan would not say much. If Gao Ran is smart enough to file a complaint with King Yan...heh, then it may be who is suing someone.

Lin Weixi actually knew where the lobby was, but he took the next step and led her to the place by Gao Ran. Gao Ran was about to lead Lin Weixi in when he was suddenly called away by a subordinate. Lin Weixi's years of upbringing couldn't do anything to go around by herself without the master's presence, so she stood there and waited. She was wearing a white velvet cloak. Staring boredly at the carved flowers on the window sill, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Sister Xi."

Lin Weixi turned his head as expected, just to see a man stepping into the door, just to meet her eyes. Hearing the call just now, his expression was obviously taken aback.

Sister Hee?

Lin Weixi's expression became stiff when she saw the incoming person, she quickly lowered her head to conceal the strong emotion in her eyes. At this time, Zhou Maocheng had already walked quickly to Lin Weixi's side, and said with a grin: "Sister Xi, your body coughs after two steps. Why don't you go back to the house and raise it and stand in the air?"

Lin Weixi was afraid that he might reveal the stuffing when he slackened a little, so he could only force his face with a blank expression on his face. She just glanced at the person indifferently, and then transferred to Zhou Maocheng. Zhou Maocheng patted his forehead and exclaimed, "Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is the only son of the prince, Gu Chengyao, the eldest son of the Yan Palace. You are not an outsider, so you don't have to avoid it."

"Why not an outsider?" Lin Weixi said jerkily, without raising his head, respectfully and nonchalantly saluting Gu Chengyao, "Shizi."

Zhou Maocheng was a rough person. He didn't notice Lin Weixi's tight body, and enthusiastically introduced Gu Chengyao: "My son, this is the woman mentioned in Wang Ye's letter, the only daughter of loyal and brave Hou Linyong, Lin Weixi."

It stands to reason that the girl's name should not be leaked, but Gu Chengyao is the son of King Yan. In Zhou Maocheng's mind, this is certainly not a foreigner, so he said Lin Weixi's name carelessly. Gu Chengyao didn't feel better until he heard Lin Weixi's full name.

It turned out to be Lin Weixi, not that sister Xi. Gu Chengyao couldn't tell how he felt in his heart, but as a foreign guest, Gu Chengyao ignored the complicated emotions in his heart. Instead, he smiled politely at Lin Weixi: "I am Gu Chengyao. Since your relatives sacrificed their lives to save their father, then you are a guest of Yanwang Mansion. You don't have to be restrained in the future, just live in the Yanwang Mansion. If you have any difficulties, just come and find me."

Lin Weixi's face was still cold, but she smiled from the bottom of her heart. She felt sad when she smiled. Gu Chengyao said to a completely unfamiliar woman, "If you have any difficulties, just come and find me." However, as Gu Chengyao's wife in the previous life, she was exhausted and exhausted in order to arrange his daily life. Later, she worked hard. I died on the couch, and I have never heard Gu Chengyao say even one thing, if you are in trouble, you can come to him.

Life encounters and comparisons are so ridiculous.Zhou Maocheng knew nothing about the undercurrents between Lin Weixi and Gu Chengyao. He was still enthusiastically pulling Gu Chengyao and told Gu Chengyao how delicate Lin Weixi was and how to toss people along the way. King Yan **** for her, oh no, he invited all the doctors in a radius of ten miles, and even more so to take care of Lin Weixi, he went to the city to pick a maid for her.

Gu Chengyao was surprised to hear this: "Father actually picked the maid himself?"

"Yes." Zhou Maocheng had a complicated face, let alone Gu Chengyao, even he, a veteran who had been with him for more than ten years, felt strange to see this scene.

Gu Chengyao turned his head and glanced at Lin Weixi. Unlike just now, his eyes were much more complicated this time. Lin Weixi is not afraid of other people's inquiring gaze. In contrast, she is more concerned about another thing. Why does she feel that Gu Chengyao's eyes just now vaguely reveal a little envy?

Lin Weixi thought afterwards, too, although Gu Chengyao is the only son of King Yan, he doesn't spend much time with King Yan. King Yan spent half his life in the army, fighting in the north and south, and his record is that the children at the street can say a few words, but I don't want to spend much time in the Yan Dynasty mansion, and there is less time left for Gu Chengyao.

When Zhou Maocheng saw Gu Chengyao fell silent, he understood after another thought. He sighed in his heart, pretending to say lightly: "The wars in various places have been resolved, and there will be no more minor troubles in the future. The prince will not need to go out. This time the prince will enter Beijing. It must be stable for a long time."

The first emperor left the solitary on his deathbed, and the emperor was young, and the capital could not be left unattended. If the Northwest rebellion had not been serious last time, the new dynasty needed to quickly quell the rebellion and deter the whole world, and King Yan would not personally lead the army. But this time after the deeds of the Duo Huo Ti Ministry spread, I am afraid for a long time, no one dared to challenge the authority of King Yan and the sovereign state.

Gu Chengyao breathed a sigh of relief when he thought about it. It's really rare to be in the same house with his father for such a long time.

Gao Ran had already dealt with the matter and returned. She was a little eager to walk. When she saw Gu Chengyao standing in the middle of the courtyard and Lin Weixi not far away, Gao Ran's pupils suddenly shrank.

Gao Ran smiled calmly, with a smile full of greetings to Gu Chengyao, and then naturally stood beside Gu Chengyao as a mistress. Lin Weixi couldn't help but sneered when she saw this, she was disdainful in her heart, and it was inevitable that she would bring some indifference and looseness on her face.

Zhou Maocheng came in with Gu Chengyao. He came in mainly for Lin Weixi. Now people have seen it, and the concubine has also returned. Zhou Maocheng, a foreigner who could not stay in the house of King Yan Palace, left immediately.

After Zhou Maocheng left, there were only three of them left in the yard. For some reason, the servants in the yard suddenly felt an unspeakable depression.

Surprisingly, the elder son and his concubine have a deep affection. Although Miss Lin is an outsider, this is the first time she has come to the palace today and has no old grudges. Why does the atmosphere suddenly become tense?

It was Gu Chengyao who acted first. He was a man, and today King Yan entered Beijing. Some things in the outer courtyard required him to come forward. Gu Chengyao sent the female relatives into the house and left. Gao Ran threw down the guests and chased them out quickly. Lin Weixi watched Gu Chengyao and Gao Ran whisper through the shadowy screens. The two stood very close and whispered. Gao Ran always looked at Gu Chengyao tenderly. As he left, he gently stretched out his hand to wipe the dust off Gu Chengyao's shoulder.

Lin Weixi was dazzling. She had extremely strict management of the Yan Palace when she was alive. No matter what room in the palace was cleaned every day, what kind of dust would Gu Chengyao get when he walked in the palace? Even if there was a demon wind today, and the shoulders of Gu Chengyao were covered with ashes, would the servant girls behind him have no hands, they need Gao Ran to brush the dust?

Lin Weixi rolled his eyes fiercely inside, contrived and nauseous. Lin Weixi regretted it, she shouldn't have been forced by King Yan's majesty to agree to come to King Yan's Mansion. If she watched it for a long time, she would have to be killed by this base person.

Fortunately, Gu Chengyao is a native of a family. Now he is not used to being too intimate with his wife in person. He glanced at Gao Ran gratefully, then whispered something, and then strode out.

At this time, Gao Ran seemed to remember that there was another guest in the house. She walked to the second room, her cheeks flushed, just right to show the shyness of her newlyweds: "Miss Lin laughed."

Lin Weixi laughed cooperatively, but rolled his eyes extremely.

For the rest of the time, Lin Weixi was sitting in the magnificent banquet room of King Yan's Mansion, and from time to time he heard Gao Ran's inadvertent mention of the nobility of the palace, the power of her family's British government, and the troubles that Gu Chengyao was always worried about her. ". If it hadn't been for the news of King Yan's return to the mansion at a critical moment, Lin Weixi would have almost returned on the spot.

Gu Huiyan was introduced to the palace by the **** as soon as he entered Beijing. After seeing the emperor and the empress dowager Qian, he went out of the palace smoothly after comforting the mother and son. Until now, he is standing in his mansion, still carrying the fine dust on his way.

From the moment Gu Huiyan entered the door, the entire Yanwang Mansion was clearly alive. The people in the front courtyard and backyard were eager to run, yelling with joy and awe: "The prince is back!"

King Yan is back. After three years of absence from the Pangran Palace, he finally waits for the real master.

The inner courtyard also heard the noise outside, and Gao Ran quickly stood up, unconsciously showing nervousness: "The King Yan is back? Mother Tao, do you think I am okay?"

Gao Ran and her maid were in a hurry. Lin Weixi ignored the people behind her, and slowly got up and stood to the door. After seeing the people coming, she gave a standard Wanfu gift to the courtyard: "His Royal Highness."

Gao Ran heard the voice and hurried out to salute. Gu Huiyan was questioning Gu Chengyao. Hearing a familiar voice, he stopped and looked at Lin Weixi in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Lin Weixi was questioned: "Didn't you insist on bringing me to the palace?"

The expressions of Gu Chengyao and the old man behind the palace changed. They were about to talk, but they heard Gu Huiyan sigh helplessly and said, "I asked why you didn't go to rest. Didn't I arrange for someone to send you back? Why did you let you stand? it's here?"

It turned out that she would be wrong. Lin Weixi straightened up before Gu Huiyan could speak, and said indifferently: "I'm waiting for your peace."

"to be frank."

"Actually, I don't know where I want to live. If you don't speak, I don't dare to leave."

As soon as Gu Huiyan came out of Miyagi, he was unconscious and calm all the way. The coercion of King Yan was fully revealed, even Gu Chengyao was frightened and surrendered when he saw it. But when I arrived at Lin Weixi's place, just a few words made Gu Huiyan smile at her mouth, and gave her a funny look: "You can talk, and if you are weak, you need to rest. Jingtan Garden is suitable. Carry things there."

Jingdan Garden? Lin Weixi knew the structure of King Yan's Mansion very well. She smiled and immediately thanked Gu Huiyan: "Xie Yan Wang."

Gao Ran hurried out to greet Gu Huiyan, because she positioned herself to be gentle, generous, white and rich, so Gu Huiyan didn't mention it, she kept squatting. But who would have thought that the famous Yan King would talk to a little girl about such trivial matters as her daily life, without caring about such an insignificance. Gao Ran couldn't help but raised his head, glanced forward in surprise, and found that Gu Chengyao also had obvious surprise in his eyes. Obviously, King Yan was not an easy-going person, and he dared not show up after seeing him, let alone contradict him. However, Lin Weixi's words were already disrespectful according to the default guidelines of the Yan Palace.

Gao Ran was a little bit savage, Jingdanyuan, she had long been optimistic about it, and planned to leave it to her son in the future. Jingtan Garden and the courtyard where Gu Chengyao lived, were built symmetrically. The significance is self-evident. It was only because of the small number of people in King Yan's Mansion that it was left unused. Lin Weixi, an orphan girl who is not known to live in the palace, why should she live there?

Gu Huiyan seemed to see other people only then. He glanced down, stepped into the main hall, and said flatly: "Get up all the time."

Gao Ran just straightened up, just a meeting, Gao Ran felt unspeakable pressure. She finally realized that her imagination of the real rich family was still too shallow. King Yan is definitely not the rich generation she has seen in her previous life.

Even King Yan himself is the son of the noble, he just expanded his own glory many times. If Gao Ran was full of confidence in herself before, but now she hesitated, if King Yan is really dissatisfied with her background... Is it really useful for her to work hard to steward and express herself?

After Gu Huiyan showed up, he obviously didn't show coldness and viciousness, but the whole hall was held in awe and awe. He scanned Lin Weixi and asked, "Have you all met each other?"

"Yes." It was Gu Chengyao who was speaking. He took a step forward and knelt down to Gu Huiyan upright, took a high look, and knelt after him.

"The son is not filial, and he pays respect to his father."

Gu Chengyao buckled his forehead deeply on the ground, and Gao Xi also bowed deeply. Lin Weixi gave way to the side to show that he avoided the kneeling ceremony of Gu Chengyao and his wife. But at the same time, Lin Weixi felt strangely happy. Although this kneeling was not aimed at her, Lin Weixi was standing now, and Gu Chengyao and Gao Ran were both kneeling, which was enough to make Lin Weixi feel refreshed.

The deal is done, Gu Huiyan did not embarrass Gu Chengyao and his newly married daughter-in-law. He stared at them for a while and motioned for them to get up. When Gao Ran was overjoyed, her maid offered tea immediately. She held the tea and put her hands across her eyebrows, and respectfully said: "Daughter-in-law offers tea to father."

Gu Huiyan took it and lifted the lid of the tea lid. He just gestured and put it on the table without any intention of drinking tea. But this was enough for Gao Ran. She kowtowed to Gu Huiyan, and then she was helped to stand up by the dowry maid.

Lin Weixi stood by and watched the whole process. She was sneer in her heart, and suddenly heard Gu Huiyan call her name: "You are already ill. It is not good to stay outside for too long. Go back and rest."

Lin Weixi's goal was achieved, and he didn't want to stand here and look at the pair of "Biren", making trouble. She gave Gu Huiyan a resignation ceremony. Gu Huiyan nodded, seemingly worried, and added another sentence: "Jingdan Garden hasn't lived in for a long time. If there is something to take advantage of, say as soon as possible, don't bear it yourself, you know?"

Lin Weixi gave an "um" and couldn't help asking: "King Yan, then my box..."

Gu Huiyan clearly moved his eyebrows, did not speak, but looked at her with consummate eyes. Lin Weixi smiled at Gu Huiyan, very faceless: "Of course I don't dare to doubt His Royal Highness... It's just this kind of thing, I'll take it in my own hands."

Gu Huiyan retracted his gaze and still did not speak, but a smile appeared in his eyes: "Indispensable for your things, go."

Lin Weixi left with satisfaction. When the servants of the palace led Lin Weixi to Jingtan Garden, his expression was always horrified.

Lin Weixi suddenly changed from being an exploited wife to a privileged class of exploiters, not to mention how comfortable he was. As expected, Jingtan Garden did not live up to its superior position. Lin Weixi took a comfortable bath and washed the dust. After taking a nap, the servants outside came to report cautiously, "Miss Lin, are you awake?"

Someone thought that Lin Weixi didn't know her, but Lin Weixi knew it very well. Lin Weixi looked at the completely different attitudes of these old servants of the palace, and smiled sarcastically, "What's the matter?"

"The banquet is about to start. The prince said that if the girl wakes up, let the slave and maid invite the girl to the front hall for dinner.

When King Yan is back, the regulation of dinner is naturally not sloppy. Lin Weixi's clothes and hair accessories are all ready-made. There is no need to dress up. She stood up and said, "I see, let's lead the way."

When they got to the place, everyone stood there with breathlessness, and Gao Ran stood on his side and couldn't sit down. Lin Weixi calmly saluted Gu Huiyan, and calmly walked aside and sat down. The posture was as if he was a member of this family.

Lin Weixi sat comfortably, while Gao Ran had to stand and serve the elders. This contrast was really uncomfortable. Gu Huiyan didn't care. He frowned slightly when he saw Lin Weixi changed his clothes, and asked, "Does my head still hurt today?"

Obviously this is Lin Weixi's problem on the road. She is weak and will have a headache when the wind blows. Be careful after freshening up. Lin Weixi shook his head and said, "It's nothing big, don't worry about it."

Gu Huiyan frowned again after hearing this, but it was not the occasion to talk about it at the moment, and he didn't say much. The dishes passed by the hands of many maids, and they were quietly delivered into the main hall one by one. Gao Ran took the public chopsticks and served them to everyone. It was inevitable that Lin Weixi had to be taken care of. Lin Weixi was upset in his heart, and on the surface he still declined: "Xie Shizi, the Shizi concubine is really polite."

Gao Ran smiled stiffly: "If you are a wife, you have to teach each other and take care of the housework. This is what I should do." Daughters can sit while eating, but it is not customary for a wife to serve the elders. But what is Lin Weixi? Gao Ran was really vomiting to death.

Gu Huiyan glanced at Lin Weixi indifferently, and said, "There are no outsiders, you don't need to be like this. Sit down."

Gao Ran declined as usual, Gu Huiyan's expression was faint, and Gao Ran suddenly felt a sudden shock in his heart, remembering what the old servant had said before: King Yan never said it a second time.

Gao Ran didn't dare to use his accent anymore, just when Gu Chengyao looked at her, Gao Ran immediately sat down next to Gu Chengyao.

The meal was silent, Gu Huiyan just stopped, and the others immediately put their chopsticks. There are still many special things in the palace after dinner. After Lin Weixi rinsed his mouth and washed his hands, he heard Gu Huiyan questioning Gu Chengyao. The voice was neither happy nor angry, but there was a turbulent power hidden: "I heard from Gu Mingda. The walk with Princess Shoukang's mansion is loose, what's the matter?"After Gu Huiyan's words were said, the atmosphere in the room was obviously stagnant.

Princess Shoukang is the grandmother of the former concubine Gao Xi. The British government treats their daughters and concubines equally, but Princess Shoukang may not.

Wei is the princess' daughter-in-law, and married to the son of the British prince was also a resounding strong alliance. It's just that the married guard Wei did not get along well with the British son. Wei was carrying the princess's daughter. The British son also preferred weak and beautiful people. This marriage was noble, but the client Wei did not live well. . After the Han family regained their favor and became the apex of the British son, the relationship between Wei and the British son became even tighter.

Wei is cautious and arrogant, how can he bear being pressed on his head by a humble concubine. In the first month of the ninth year of Jian Zhao, Han came out again just after the year, and Wei's many years of grievances were aroused. Turning his face, let the Han go to kneel at the ancestral hall. When Lin Weixi thought about this incident later, he always felt horrible by coincidence. At that time, the Han family did not dare to violate the order of the mistress, wronged and went to kneel in the cold ancestral hall. The weather in the first month of that year was so cold that Han did not kneel for long. , I saw the red. When the British prince heard the wind and hurried back, he saw his concubine face like golden paper, bleeding from her belly.

Han was pregnant, and was shocked by the cold floor tiles, and immediately couldn't hold back seeing Hong. Heirs are of great importance in the family. The elder son was furious on the spot. The ancestor, the British husband's wife, was also angry when he heard that Wei was arrogant and jealous, regardless of decency. Wei and her husband, son-in-law and mother-in-law had a quarrel. words. Wei has been depressed for many years, and his childhood has become irregular. He didn't even know that he was pregnant, so he was so angry that he miscarried directly during the conflict. The woman's pregnancy was already hurting her body, and the miscarriage was even more harmful. As a result, Wei could not afford to be ill, and died early within a few months.

That year, Wei's only daughter, Gao Xi, was only ten years old, and the child that Wei had shed was a boy. Wei looked forward to it for many years, and finally ended up like this. The irony is that the Han, who was actually punished in the ancestral hall and rumored that the fetus could not be saved, gave birth to a son nine months later.

This is Gao Ran's brother. If Lin Weixi's book is correct, the boy who is fate will become the heir of the British government as a bastard. After all, the aunt is dead, and only Gaoxi is the only one who has bleeding, and the son of the British King especially prefers Han and Han's children. In the absence of a heir, it is reasonable to establish the eldest son as the heir.

The only daughter was killed by the concubine room. Princess Shoukang would not be able to forgive him if she knew about it. However, Wei was also at fault in this matter. In the ethical society of Zhenshun supremacy, Wei's concubine room caused the opponent to see red. He also quarreled with her mother-in-law and husband, but in the end she was so angry that she had a miscarriage. Of course, Shou Kang, as Wei's mother, was so angry, but when she was outside, others would only say that Wei was self-inflicted. Princess Shoukang couldn't seek justice for her daughter, and the British government was not a small household at the mercy of others. Princess Shoukang could only endure this bad breath and took her granddaughter Gao Xi over and raised her up carefully.

Shou Kanggui is a princess, but the relationship between husband and wife is indifferent for life, no children and grandchildren. His only daughter died a long time ago, and his granddaughter Gao Xi is the only pillar of Princess Shou Kang. But who would have imagined that the tragedies of the previous two generations will be repeated on Gao Xi again. Gao Xi is top-notch in everything, but after marrying, the marriage is not going well. She is not even as good as the Wei family. She has only lived for a year and is also depressed. Finally.

Princess Shoukang was hit hard, but the other party was the eldest son of King Yan's Mansion. Gu Chengyao's father had the power to dominate the world. What can Shoukang say? What really made Princess Shoukang unbearable was what happened later. It was only a month after Gao Xi died, and the British government proposed to let Gao Ran marry him as a continuation.

Who is Gao Ran? Han's daughter. The Han family's **** killed Shou Kang's daughter, not to mention that he still wants to take over her granddaughter's family? Princess Shoukang immediately turned his face with the British mansion, and the Yanwang Mansion, which had been close for many years, also faded.

The princess Shoukang did not like Gao Ran and that concubine is a well-known thing in the capital. Gu Chengyao finally married the white moonlight cinnabar mole in his heart. Now his heart is targeted by Princess Shoukang, and Gu Chengyao is not happy. He was born as a princely son, and his family is superior. For many years, only others have accommodated him. When have you seen other people's faces? Now that Princess Shoukang made a face, Gu Chengyao was not uncommon in the past. Princess Shoukang's mansion is nothing but an empty shelf, with no successors. Now anyone can see that their family is going downhill, but it is because Shoukang's seniority is high and the seniority of the eldest princess supports the facade. Really confronting Prince Yan's Mansion, how could Gu Chengyao be afraid of her?

Therefore, after Gao Ran entered the door, Yan Wang's Mansion and Shoukang Princess's Mansion inevitably became indifferent, Gao Ran was happy to see it, and Gu Chengyao didn't care. Suddenly Gu Huiyan mentioned that, Gu Chengyao only paused for a while, and said: "Princess Shoukang seems to have some misunderstanding about the princess, the son made a special trip to explain to the princess, but the people in the princess's house looked cold towards the princess. Since being a husband and wife is the same body, their disrespect to the concubine is disrespectful to me. In this case, I don't need to stay anymore."

Lin Weixi knew this after hearing these words, and Gu Huiyan was going to be angry. The expression on Gu Huiyan's face was the same as before, and his voice was even the same as before: "You also know that the husband and wife are of the same body, and Gao Xi, the granddaughter of Princess Shoukang, is not your wife?"

Gu Chengyao turned towards Gao Ran. Gao Ran originally felt very relieved that the old princess who didn't like a man didn't like her, and she didn't bother to enter the gate of the princess mansion. He couldn't even give birth to a son. He only knew that he was oppressing others because of his princess status. Gao Ran deeply felt that Shou Kang deserved it, and Wei Wei and Gao Xi were the present. Gu Chengyao broke the connection with the princess mansion because the people in the princess mansion were cold-faced with her. Gao Ran felt it was very useful. Only then could he have the aura of the actor. But now Gu Huiyan puts down such words... the look on Gao Ran's face was stunned, and for a while, he didn't know what was wrong. Could King Yan be dissatisfied because of this? Why is this?

Gu Chengyao was different from Gao Ran. He knew his father better. Hearing Gu Huiyan's tone, he knew his father was angry. The more angry Gu Huiyan became, the calmer he was. Now this situation is obviously the latter.

Gu Chengyao didn't dare to sit any more, stood up immediately, lowered his head and said, "Son doesn't mean that... But the princess Shoukang is too domineering. The concubine is already my regular wife. Why is she filial if she is not kind to her son? Concubine, if the son still obeyed her as always, wouldn't it be a downgrade of the Yan Palace?"

Gao Ran also hurriedly stood up, glanced at Lin Weixi quickly, pursing his mouth and lowered his head: "It's the daughter-in-law, it's nothing to do with the son. Please father not to offend the son."

Of course Lin Weixi understood the meaning of Gao Ran's glance. It was a family affair in the Yan Palace, and no matter what, Lin Weixi would not be able to listen to an outsider. If it were normal, Lin Weixi would have found an excuse to leave the table long ago, but it was Gu Chengyao who stood in front of him. Lin Weixi's years of upbringing told her to respect the personal affairs of her host family, and now she should be politely avoided, but...she really wants to take care of Gu Chengyao and be scolded. Lin Weixi finally decided to obey her own will, still sitting steadily, trying to minimize her sense of existence, but she continued to listen with awe-inspiring righteousness on the surface.

When Gu Huiyan heard Gu Chengyao's words, his anger grew stronger. There is no joy or anger on his face, but he can feel the pressure from his words: "If the princess really ignores the face of the Yan Palace, she will not let you in."

Gu Chengyao and Gao Ran both lowered their heads, deliberately relaxing their breaths. Gu Huiyan calmed down for a while, and when he spoke again, he recovered as the dripping King Yan: "If you continue to marry before your wife is lost, this is your fault. Princess Shoukang is just a cold attitude. It's also right to shut you out. At the beginning, you personally wrote to marry the granddaughter of the eldest princess, who was the only bloodline of the eldest princess, but died in the palace in a year without knowing it. Princess Shoukang had opinions on you , Do you still dare to object?"

"Father." Gu Chengyao couldn't help but look up, "The person I was looking for was not her, but she and the princess..."

Gu Chengyao's voice gradually disappeared from Gu Huiyan's gaze. Seeing him lowered his head obediently, Gu Huiyan chuckled and put the tea cup on the table with a bang: "Are you the person who wrote the letter? Is that you?"

Gu Chengyao looked aggrieved, he endured and endured, still reluctantly said: "Yes."

"That's enough, no one will listen to your reasons. You are so old. If you do something wrong, you have done it wrong. You don't want to take responsibility, but even make an excuse for yourself?"

Lin Weixi's eyes were sore when she heard this, she hurriedly opened her eyes wide, and forced her tears back. For such a long time, that book of heaven, the British government, and even many old servants of the King Yan's Mansion have been saying that she is self-inflicted and that she deserves it. Among so many people, only King Yan has redressed her grievances and ruthlessly accused Gu Chengyao. . King Yan is even Gu Chengyao's father, a complete husband's family.

At first, it was Lin Weixi who replaced Gao Ran's life-saving grace in a vague way, but who is to blame? It was Gu Chengyao who confessed to the wrong person, and Gao Ran was behind the trick. Why should she be burdened with the last mistake? Even if it turns out that it was a mistake that made the wrong relationship, but Gu Chengyao married her after all, why didn't Gu Chengyao think about his husband's responsibility?

Gu Chengyao was reprimanded with embarrassment, and he wanted to say something, but when he came into contact with Gu Huiyan's line of sight, his voice was so scared that he fell silent immediately.

This is the anger that Gu Huiyan rarely sees, and the hall is silent inside and outside. It is the old man's generation who dare not speak at this moment. In the silence of the whole room, there was a sudden burst of irritable coughing, and the vocalizer seemed to want to suppress the movement. However, the more anxious the coughing became worse, Lin Weixi covered his mouth, frowning, and taking the time to say to Gu Huiyan with difficulty, "Sorry, I too I don't want to disturb you and Shizi. It's just... ahem..."

Lin Weixi's cheeks flushed coughing, and her eyes were tearful, which just concealed her excitement. Gu Huiyan was initially getting angry, and seeing Lin Weixi coughing so pitifully, he sighed and said, "Why are you coughing again? Did you drink medicine today?"

Lin Weixi was speechless, and Wan Yue hurriedly stepped forward and carefully replied: "The slave and maid have already served the girl to drink, but the weather is dry these days and it doesn't work."

"Tomorrow, I will call the imperial physician from the palace, and I will give you a new medicine."

Lin Weixi thanked Gu Huiyan with difficulty. Gu Chengyao watched a group of people rush to Lin Weixi's side, handing tea and patting his back. On the contrary, his elder son seemed to be forgotten.

But fortunately, with this, the story just turned over, and the servant who was serving Gu Chengyao was very relieved. When Lin Weixi thought that he had relieved Gu Chengyao again, he was so angry that he couldn't stop the itching in his throat.

When Lin Weixi finally stopped coughing, everyone in the lobby breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Huiyan still frowned and looked at Lin Weixi. Lin Weixi looked at Gu Huiyan carefully while he was calm, "His Royal Highness, are you still angry?"

Gu Huiyan glanced at Lin Weixi helplessly, without moving his eyebrows, gently raised his hand to Gu Chengyao: "Let's not take it as an example."

Gao Ran was overjoyed when he heard this, Gu Chengyao's face was tense, he glanced at Lin Weixi complicatedly, bowed his head to salute Gu Huiyan. For a while everyone looked at Lin Weixi's eyes with gratitude, and Lin Weixi smiled stiffly, with misery.

Actually, she didn't mean that...Lin Weixi sadly discovered that she was always unwittingly trying to relieve Gu Chengyao, obviously she wanted to pick things up. What is even more annoying is that the people around me have to understand her words and deeds from another angle, thinking that Lin Weixi is kind-hearted and can't see her son being blamed by the prince, so that they can find a way to get out of the siege.

After solving a ghost siege, Lin Weixi was anxious that King Yan would scold Gu Chengyao for two more hours.

Lin Weixi went back to Jingtan Garden with anger. After taking off his cloak and sitting down, Wan Xing brought hot tea to Lin Weixi. Seeing Lin Weixi's face cold, he smiled and said, "What's wrong with the girl? There are still people in the palace who dare to give it. Can't be a girl?"

Wan Xing was the maid that King Yan bought to take care of Lin Weixi after Lin Weixi fell ill. Lin Weixi followed Wan Yue's name and named her Wan Xing. These two maids are now all her staff.

Wanyue put Lin Weixi's cloak away, she just heard this sentence when she came back, she replied: "Today the girl coughed up again, but it is also a loss to the girl, otherwise the elder son and concubine will not be able to come to the stage."

"What's wrong?"

Wanyue said in a few words about the meal, Wan Xing sighed for a while, and praised: "The girl is really kind. The concubine Shizi deliberately asked her nurse to run the girl, and the girl was willing to relieve them."

Who wants it? Lin Weixi replied in an angry heart. In the palace, Gao Ran is after all the daughter-in-law of the palace of Yan, Wan Xing Wanyue didn't have much to say, so he just gave it up. Wan Yue went on to say: "Isn't it, but the prince's anger today is really scary, I didn't dare to raise my head in fright, that is, the prince can speak better in the name of the girl. The prince is really strict with the prince. People, when reprimanded, they don't leave any affection."

"Because of what?"

"It's not for Princess Shoukang. I didn't expect that King Yan would be unkind, and would be filial to the Princess."

Lin Weixi added faintly upon hearing this: "It's not that he is filial to Princess Shoukang. Although the Princess is the aunt of King Yan, how many princesses must be in the royal family? With so many uncles, nephews and aunts, I don't see him all coming close. King Yan was really filial to King Yan. When King Yan was not in the domain, he was very jealous of Sejong. It was Princess Shoukang's guarantee that King Yan could go to the country smoothly. Because of this matter, King Yan treated Princess Shoukang. The mansion is extraordinarily courteous. Gu Chengyao grew up in a fief, and he was the peak of the Yan Dynasty mansion when he was born, and everything goes smoothly. How can he understand the origins of the previous generation."

"It turns out that there is this relationship." Wan Xing asked accidentally after listening, "Girl, how do you know about the Sejong Dynasty?"

Lin Weixi took the tea immediately, and she knew that this was naturally because of what the princess Shoukang had personally said. But Lin Weixi, a lonely foreign woman, shouldn't know this. Lin Weixi was secretly alarmed, but he still casually replied: "When I was ten years old, my dad brought me to the capital to see a doctor. I stayed in the capital for almost half a year and listened to a grandpa in the alley."

Both Wan Yue and Wan Xing were next to Lin Weixi, who had come halfway, and knew nothing about Lin Weixi's past. They believed Lin Weixi's explanation. Seeing that Lin Weixi had fooled the two maids over, while she was relieved, she also secretly warned herself that she should not be so careless.

If the person who heard this today was King Yan, it would be over.

Both Wanyue and Wanxing were in Beijing for the first time, and they were also in the Royal Palace. The two of them are different from Lin Weixi's former maid, and they are very lively chatting. Now Lin Weixi's identity is no longer the same, let alone two maidservants. Wan Xing and Wan Yue were full of curiosity about the famous Yan Wang Mansion, and now they both live with Lin Weixi in Yan Wang Mansion, which is even more remarkable. They lowered their voices and talked about the tip of the iceberg in the Yanwang Mansion, but it was already a wonderful family story: "I heard that the current concubine is filling the house, and the lady in front of the concubine is also surnamed Gao. It is the sister of the concubine!"

Wan Xing covered her mouth in surprise: "My sister?"

"Correct."

Wan Xing showed an expression of amazement: "The son looks very young, and he has already married Madam Erfang."

"The prince looks only in his twenties. If he hadn't known in advance, who would have guessed that the prince's son is already seventeen."

"Yes. The eldest son is only seventeen, and the elder son is considered early."

"It's not that he got married early, it was because of the death of the previous concubine." Lin Weixi took the words, even with a smile on his face, "We were married in the first month and died at the end of the year. My sister came in in February the following year, without delaying my son's time. ."

Wan Xing and Wan Yue didn't expect Lin Weixi to answer the conversation suddenly. They didn't think too much, just sighed: "The previous concubine was too pitiful."

Poor? Lin Weixi smiled and said, "Perhaps. But King Yan is right. People in the world only look at the results, no one will ask why. She has lived her life like this, I am afraid that she herself will be to blame. Love is in good agreement, deep and righteous, it's okay to vacate the position earlier."

Wan Yue and Wan Xing looked at each other, wondering why Miss Lin suddenly gave birth to such a pessimistic emotion. Wan Xing was lively, and it was only a day's work. She had already inquired a lot of news from the palace: "In fact, it's not necessarily the fault of the concubine of the previous life. There are separate regulations, no gossip, no laziness, and no petty theft on the stove. Princess Yan has passed away for many years, and King Yan has been fighting abroad all the year round. It is inevitable that many rules in the palace are slack. The former concubine just arrived. The drastic rectification is good intentions, but unfortunately it is too offensive."

Wanyue and Wanxing are outsiders, so they can objectively evaluate the current situation of King Yan's Mansion. But for the elderly domestic slaves who had the wrong roots in the Yanwang Mansion, what Gao Xi did was to move their turf. So in the eyes of these people, Gao Xi was of course no good at all, waiting for Gao Xi to deal with the accumulated bad habits. When it was over, she herself was tired. After Gao Ran entered the door, the foundation had been laid, and when Gao Ran took over, he was naturally very good. And Gao Ran is used to superficial skills. She has benefited, and the rules are a little lax. With Gao Xi's strictness in front of the contrast, Gao Ran immediately became a gentle and kind new mistress, and Wang's residence also talked about her everywhere. it is good.

This led to the current situation. The two new maids from Wan Xing and Wanyue could say "the concubine of the previous life was good at heart", but Gu Chengyao, who was wrapped in the servants and old slaves, couldn't see it.

Lin Weixi didn't expect to hear such words from these two girls. She laughed mockingly, and it was really rare for someone to think of her kindness. Lin Weixi didn't want to talk about these bad things anymore. Now she saw that Gu Chengyao and Gao Ranlang's concubine's love was really crooked, but the graceful dowry maid was still preaching everywhere, with a proud face. God knows that these servants had not even dared to lift their heads in front of Lin Weixi, but now they also raised their tails.

Lin Weixi stood up and said lightly: "This is their family matter after all. It's not good to talk about personal matters behind the scenes, so I won't talk about it anymore."

Wan Yue and Wan Xing looked at each other, and they both noticed the contradiction in Lin Weixi's body. Miss Lin obviously relies on King Yan very much, but the family of King Yan is uncharacteristically indifferent. Aiwu should be equal to Wucai. Why does Lin have such a contradictory attitude? Wan Yue and Wan Xing didn't know, and didn't dare to mention it anymore. Instead, they carefully served Lin Weixi and changed his clothes: "Girl, today King Yan is angry with the son because of Princess Shoukang, and they said they will take the son with him in a few days. The eldest princess comes to apologize. Are you saying this is true?"

"Why isn't it true?" Lin Weixi sneered, ironically, "How dare you despise the princess mansion because it has no children, where are they courageous? Even if the princess mansion really has no successor, but as long as it grows long In one day, no one in the capital dared to neglect the princess. Even the King Yan wanted to call Princess Shoukang aunt. She, a concubine, jumped out eagerly, thinking that she could be wild on the grounds of the princess mansion, which is ridiculous."

"girl..."

Lin Weixi also noticed that his emotions were agitated. She took a deep breath and said, "Get your clothes ready these few days. I'm going to visit the princess mansion with King Yan."

Wan Yue was stunned for a moment. Lin Weixi was still in her filial piety period. He usually thanked guests behind closed doors. Why did he think of going to the princess mansion this time? But these weren't her things that a maid should worry about. Wan Yue responded with a low voice, and went to give Lin Weixi the clothes she had prepared for the visitor.

Gu Huiyan didn't say anything after learning about it, nodded and agreed. After he finally freed himself up, he personally took the people from the Yanwang Mansion to visit Princess Shoukang.

King Yan's visit was of course regarded as a distinguished guest and immediately welcomed into the mansion. When Princess Shoukang heard that King Yan was visiting, she greeted her with her body.

When Gu Huiyan saw Princess Shoukang, she quickly got up to support her arm: "Auntie, the dog is stubborn, and has failed your painstaking efforts. Now I bother you to come out in person. This is really my sin."

"Don't say that. You are now a prince, and the emperor is relying on you for assistance. How can my half-lengthed old lady dare to be your apocalypse."

Seeing this, Gu Huiyan couldn't say any more. He lightly clicked on Gu Chengyao. Gu Chengyao understood what his father meant, so he could only reluctantly walk out and give a big gift to the princess Shoukang: "The junior was confused the other day. , I offended my grandmother, please forgive the younger generation."

Gu Chengyao is the son of King Yan. Even if Shou Kang hates him for neglecting his sister Xi, he can't ignore King Yan's face. King Yan brought his son to apologize personally. From the perspective of etiquette and morals, King Yan's sincerity was already sufficient. Shou Kang could only nod his head and said coldly, "There is no overnight hatred in the family, since you understand That's it. Get up quickly."

Gu Chengyao got up, Gao Ran followed forward and saluted: "Grandma."

Shou Kang made a cold snort obviously and didn't even look at it. Gao Ran showed an aggrieved look, Gu Chengyao was distressed, but Gu Huiyan was still sitting on it, even if Gu Chengyao was angry, he did not dare to move.

It was also at this time that Shou Kang realized that there was one more person. She looked at the exquisite girl like a New Year's painting in the hall, slightly stunned: "This is..."

Lin Weixi stepped forward and sturdily knocked three heads to Princess Shoukang: "Little girl Lin Weixi, see Princess Long."

Shou Kang looked at the woman on the ground, his eyes widened unconsciously. Gu Huiyan saw this explanation: "When the Northwest rebellion was quelled, I was careless. It was her father who fought hard to cover me. You should have the impression that it was the Zhongyonghou from a while ago. After the Northwest rebellion subsided, I saw this young man. The girl lost her mother when she was young, and now she has no father. It's not a good idea to live alone, so she took her to the capital. Today, I brought the junior to greet you, and she will follow."

After Shou Kang listened, the inexplicable throbbing in his heart became more obvious. She asked Lin Weixi to lift him up, and she moved closer and looked at it for a while, then warmly covered the back of Lin Weixi's hand with some rough hands, and asked, "Your name is Lin Weixi, what is your nickname?"

"The little girl had no mother since she was born, and she had no baby name. Everyone in the family called me sister Xi by her name."

"Sister Xi." Even the name was exactly the same. Shou Kang's eyes suddenly became wet. "Okay, I'll call sister Xi. When is your birthday?"

"On the fifteenth hour of the first lunar month."

Hearing Gao Ran's eyes widened at this hour, Gu Chengyao's expression was also a little strange. When Gu Huiyan saw the slight movement of the eyebrows, he calmly asked, "What's the matter?"

Gao Ran and Gu Chengyao didn't speak, but the old man from the princess mansion wiped away his tears and said, "King Yan, our eldest lady's birthday is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but it's only in Youshi."

Gao Xi has been close to his family since childhood, and the princess mansion directly called her eldest lady.

Gu Huiyan was also surprised when he heard this: "It's such a coincidence."

The same nickname, agreed syllables, even birthdays are the same. That strange feeling came again, and Gu Chengyao looked at Lin Weixi who was standing in front, suddenly feeling a sense of trance.

At that moment, Gu Chengyao almost felt that standing in front of him was his deceased Yuan wife, his former spouse, Gao Xi."This is Xi girl who has a relationship with me." Princess Shoukang was still depressed when she first came out, but now her eyes burst into light again. The telepathy between relatives is really indescribable. Lin Weixi dared not tell her grandmother the truth, but Shou Kang still followed the guidance flowing in his blood and brought up an unspeakable closeness to Lin Weixi. Shou Kang stubbornly felt that this was her granddaughter, and her sister Xi was back again.

Princess Shoukang couldn't help crying. She wiped away the tears with her fingers, and smiled at the crowd: "Let you laugh. When people are old, they tend to be sentimental. Seeing anything can bring back memories."

Everyone in the room naturally comforted, and Gu Huiyan also said, "Auntie, what are you talking about? Lin Weixi is also thinly related. If you look at her joyfully and talk to her to relieve her sadness, this is really great."

After the princess Shoukang cried, her heart was obviously much better. She looked at Lin Weixi, how pleasing to her eyes: "You were born in Yuanxiao Mao, this time is good. I always felt that Gao Xi's birthday was too noisy, I am afraid I can't hold it. She was born on the 15th day of the first lunar month when she was born. When the lights are on, the whole city is full of fireworks. Although it is noisy, it is too noisy, and it may be a blessing. Your hour is just right, the sky will be bright at the time, and everything will wake up, just like your name, Xi, This is bright and bright!"

"Princess Xie Dachang."

"What do you call such a birth. You are also fateful. You lost your parents and parents at a young age, not even an uncle. Although I was born in the royal family, my brothers and sisters got married, and now I've gone halfway. There is only one daughter who died a long time ago, and even the only granddaughter... I am the white-haired man who killed the black-haired man."

The princess Shoukang hurt her, and was extremely sad. An old mother from the princess mansion said: "Ms. Lin is so young, and our princess is also empty under her knees. It's better for Miss Lin to call her grandmother. Miss Lin has relatives to protect, and our princess has been thinking about it for so many years."

The most regrettable thing for Princess Shoukang in her life is the poor happiness of her children. Lin Weixi has been raised by Shoukang for many years. In her heart, Shou Kang is much closer than her nominal grandmother, the British father-in-law, and is much more competent. "The character distinguishes the closeness. Lin Weixi looked at the expectant eyes of Princess Shoukang, smiled lightly, and said, "Grandma."

Shou Kang's eyes were hot, and he made a heavy "hey". After responding, Shou Kang wanted to cry again, and the old slaves next to Shili also turned their faces to wipe their tears.

In front of them, Princess Shoukang and Lin Weixi were happily together, as if they really knew each other as their grandparents. The few people standing at the back looked stiff, and thoughts flashed through their hearts.

Gu Chengyao felt even more dazed, and his gaze at Lin Weixi was also blurred. Gao Ran silently looked at Gu Chengyao. After seeing Gu Chengyao's expression, Gao Ran bit his lip, and his hatred for Gao Xi became more obvious.

It was Gao Xi who had seized her position. Gao Xi relied on being a prostitute, and cooperated with her grandmother to misrepresent the facts and deceive King Yan and Gu Chengyao into marriage. God knows how shocked Gao Ran was when he saw Gu Chengyao at the wedding. Gu Chengyao was injured and didn't see Gao Ran's face, but Gao Ran remembered Gu Chengyao's appearance. Combined with the rumors of the Pisces jade pendant from Gao Xi, there is nothing else Gao Ran does not understand. Just like the vicious princesses in the fairy tale who replaced life-saving grace, Gao Xi shamelessly acquiesced that it did not belong to her. Also took away the prince.

Don't mention how desperate and hated Gao Ran was during that time, but the princess and prince who replaced the kindness were not happy after marriage. This was the happiest thing for Gao Ran.

Later, the fake princess died, and Gao Ran finally married his prince charming, and won the love of the entire palace as soon as he entered the door. Gao Ran thought that her story would continue happily like a fairy tale, even if Gu Chengyao had a close-knit maid and a common room by her side, it didn't matter. Sooner or later, she would capture Gu Chengyao's heart. But now Gao Ran saw Gu Chengyao's gaze on another woman, and that woman had an incomparable beauty, and the jealousy in Gao Ran's heart suddenly couldn't help it.

Gao Ran finally regained her marriage, she did not allow anyone to destroy it. Lin Weixi's appearance is too standard. She arrived after getting married. She won the blue eyes of the villain Princess Shoukang as soon as she arrived. Her posture is high and her body is delicate. Every label proves that this is Gao Ran's female partner in life, or The one from Xiaobaihua.

Gao Ran looked at Lin Weixi's back with strong hostility in his eyes. From the previous life to the time of crossing, she has never lost a fight with a woman. Gao Xi's family background couldn't beat her. How could an orphan with only beauty be her opponent.

Gao Ran just took a look and then retracted his gaze, constricting his eyes to think about the next tactics. Lin Weixi was emotional and did not notice the movement behind him. She finally saw her grandmother, even after life and death. Without talking about her strange energy, Lin Weixi couldn't tell Shou Kang the truth, she couldn't take the risk, but it didn't affect her filial piety to her grandmother. Anyway, she doesn't plan to marry anymore, she will spend all her time honoring Princess Shoukang, even if they no longer have grandparents.

Gu Huiyan watched Lin Weixi and Princess Shoukang hit it off as soon as they saw it. He sat and watched quietly for a while, and then said to Lin Weixi, "It is a good thing that you and auntie have a relationship with each other. On a good day, there is no need to cry. Go outside and wash your face first. , My face is crying."

Lin Weixi was shocked when she heard this, her face was blurred? Oh my God, she was so ugly again in front of King Yan.

Lin Weixi's cheeks flushed. She really thought that her manners were in a mess, and she couldn't care about anything now, so she hurried down to dress up. After Lin Weixi left, Gu Huiyan found an excuse to send Gu Chengyao and Gao Ran out. Princess Shoukang had expected it when Gu Huiyan said that Lin Weixi was crying and stunned. She leaned on the pillow and smiled, and asked: "The King Yan specially sent people away. I don't know what I want to say to the old man?"

"My aunt should have guessed it, what I want to say is Lin Weixi's thing." Gu Huiyan said, "Her father died to save me. After Lin Yong died, she had no relatives in her hometown. I can't help her. In any case, I will take care of her instead of Lin Yong, and at any rate I want to be a reliable husband for her."

The princess Shoukang nodded: "The king of Yan is very thoughtful. She is a little girl who is helpless and will inevitably be bullied. She always finds a good relationship for her so that she can rely on in the future."

"That's what I meant." Gu Huiyan sighed helplessly. "But she is very resistant to the marriage for some reason. I mentioned it twice before, but she was reluctant, and finally even annoyed me."

"Oh?" Shou Kang was very surprised, Lin Weixi, a little girl, dare to have a temper with Gu Huiyan? When did Gu Huiyan get better?

Gu Huiyan didn't want to say more about it. He clicked on it and said to Shou Kang: "I personally wrote to you to marry the eldest of the British government. It's a pity that the dog is so stubborn that he has let Gao Xi not say it, and also let it down. Your expectation. I know that I will have no face to mention this to you, but Lin Weixi has not come out of the cabinet after all. Even if her father and I have a life-saving friendship, living in King Yan's Mansion for a long time will eventually be unjustified. It is detrimental to her reputation. So I can only brazenly make this unsympathetic invitation to you."

Princess Shoukang has already understood: "You want me to find a good relationship for her."

"Yes." Gu Huiyan didn't expect that one day he would worry about this kind of thing, but Lin Weixi had a small body but a strong temper. Gu Huiyan had no choice but to entrust others. "When I talk to her about this, she will blow up her hair. , I think she is close to your aunt, it is better for you to mention it."

"When did she become filial piety?"

"May this year."

It didn't take long, only two months remained. Shou Kang nodded thoughtfully and responded. Elderly people always worry about the marriage of younger generations. She saw Lin Weixi as if she had seen her granddaughter and chose a good husband-in-law for her granddaughter. There is no reason to refuse this kind of thing. Gu Huiyan secretly felt relieved when he saw Shou Kang's condition. Since Gao Xi's death, Shou Kang's condition has been worsening day by day. She has no worries in this world, no business, and her body is naturally deteriorating. Now I can find something for Shou Kang to do, and I can also solve Lin Weixi's marital affairs at will. It kills two birds with one stone, why not do it?

Gu Huiyan resolved the two intentions of today. There were many things waiting for him outside. He didn't have much time, so he got up and left. Lin Weixi had just come back from dressing up, but he was forcibly taken away by King Yan without having to sit on the stool. Lin Weixi reluctantly bid farewell to Princess Shoukang and boarded the carriage of the Yan Palace.

This visit was of great significance. King Yan used his actions to smash rumors in the capital about the discord between King Yan's Mansion and Princess Shoukang's Mansion, and clearly stated his position. Gao Xi, the former concubine, is still the daughter-in-law admitted by King Yan, and all kinds of rumors in the capital are nonsense.

The atmosphere inside Wang Yan's Mansion also quietly changed. King Yan's high-profile visit to Princess Shoukang's mansion was to rectify Gao Xi's name, and it was also to beat Gao Ran in the face. Even if the relationship between Gao Xi and Gu Chengyao is in a mess, Gao Xi is still the daughter-in-law of King Yan, and the original consort of King Yan Mansion, Gao Ran's inexplicable sense of superiority can rest.

Gao Ran wasn't very happy, but she immediately told herself that she saw people's hearts for a long time, but after a long time, King Yan would definitely be able to see the shining points on her body, and then admit herself. But before that, Gao Ran had to address other threats first.

The weather is getting warmer, and the winter clothes are gradually put away, and the pretty girls put on light spring clothes. Lin Weixi has been living in King Yan's Mansion for nearly a month. At first, everyone treated her as a guest and coaxed her to make offerings. But as time passed, Lin Weixi was like a fish in the King's Mansion, and the people in King Yan's Mansion were also very concerned about Lin Weixi's existence. Getting used to it. Even because of Lin Weixi's transcendent status, many people regard Lin Weixi as a backer, and there is no shortage of flattering and flattering people.

Gao Ran was inexplicably frustrated during this period of time. It was obvious that there was only one mistress in the Prince's Mansion, but Lin Weixi was inexplicably more than a Lin Weixi who added a block to Gao Ran, Gao Ran had to hold this woman as a sister-in-law. The more respected Lin Weixi was in the palace, the more Gao Ran's heart suffered.

One afternoon, Gao Ran invited Lin Weixi to the garden to enjoy the flowers and talk. In her words, the palace is now the two female relatives, and they are not as close as sisters. Lin Weixi got goose bumps all over her body, for example, she was bored to pass the time by pulling the petals, when she suddenly saw Gao Ran let people bring a lot of fruit plates, and there were chess games, embroidery sheds and other entertainments. Lin Weixi raised his eyebrows silently, Gao Ran smiled gently, and said to Lin Weixi: "Today is a good spring, the most is a good time for spring. It's just a pity that we can't leave the house, so let's take a walk in the garden and chat for fun. ."

Speaking of Gao Ran Zhuangruo accidentally picked up a chess piece, and said: "Miss Lin, do you know how to play chess? The sun is so good today, or should we also be elegant and play against the flowers?"

Lin Weixi looked at the black child in Gao Ran's hand and smiled softly, "Okay."

Lin Weixi sat down and generously sat opposite Gao Ran. Gao Ran is picking out the misplaced chess piece. She swings her wrist gracefully and slowly, with a smile on her lips, and casually said: "Miss Lin, chess is boring, why don't we change to a new game."

"Oh, what new gameplay?"

"Gobang."Sure enough, Lin Weixi smiled when he heard it, playing with the crystal clear, almost warm white jade chess pieces with his fingers, and asked: "What kind of game is this, I have never heard of it before."

Ningfu, who was serving on the side, answered, "This is a new method that our concubine has come up with. It's easy and fun. Many young ladies in the Guogong Mansion like it."

Lin Weixi smiled and did not speak. Seeing her gaze fixed on the chess piece, Gao Ran gently added: "This is my dowry. The name is black and white warm jade chess. It is made of warm jade. Whenever you take it out They are all radiant and warm, and they can protect the body after a long time."

Ningfu thought that Lin Weixi didn't know what warm jade was, and said quickly, "Ms. Lin Xu hasn't seen this kind of jade yet? This is not ordinary jade. Even if it is in the capital, it is priceless. Please, but in the dowry of the concubine, it is nothing more than an ordinary dowry."

"Ning Fu." Gao Ran said with a reproach, "giving more dowry to less is the intention of the elders. This is the grandmother's love for me. Did you come out and say it openly?" After finishing speaking, Gao But looking at Lin Weixi, he nodded a little embarrassedly: "Miss Lin laughed. Don't be offended by Miss Lin. Even if it is made of gold and jade, if it is not practical, it is nothing but something outside. We play chess."

Lin Weixi looked at the chess piece in his hand and smiled meaningfully: "The concubine Shizi is really open-minded."

Isn't it open-minded? A year ago, this was Lin Weixi's thing.

This was Lin Weixi's dowry before, and Gao Ran's maid hurriedly explained it to Lin Weixi. It was ridiculous, and it made my teeth itchy after the laugh.

Lin Weixi knew that after her death, her dowry would have to be redistributed by the British government. She even acquiesced to this possibility in her heart. But when the result was really presented to her nakedly, Lin Weixi found that he still couldn't let go.

Not only the game of chess in front of him, Lin Weixi looked up, the surrounding gold and silver decorations, blue and white porcelain, and even the sandalwood furniture on display all had a sense of familiarity.

Lin Weixi hurriedly retracted her gaze, and she was furious when she looked at it again. Seeing Lin Weixi's face stiff, Gao Ran thought that Lin Weixi was frightened by his wealthy family background. He felt ashamed of himself, and smiled graciously. He said: "Ningfu, this Nizi always has no door on her mouth, and she often loses her heart. If you say something, you don't have to mind Miss Lin, she has no malice."

"If you can't control your own mouth, then punish you. If you still can't speak, then you can sell it to your dentist." Lin Weixi was uncomfortable, and her hair exploded as soon as she heard this. , Her voice still has a delicate, sickly aura, and she is not forgiving if she says, "My maid is not good at discipline, but it makes others bear it? Why should I take you? Why should your dog bite people? ?"

Wan Xing let out a "pouch" laugh, and hurriedly shrank her shoulders and lowered her head when she saw the sight of others. Even so, she could see that her shoulders were shaking slightly.

Wan Xing was bought directly from outside, and it was inevitably worse in the big scene. Wanyue had experienced in the house, and now she was calmer than Wan Xing. Even if she really wanted to laugh, she had to hold back.

Ning Fu was embarrassed by Lin Weixi's words, and Wan Xing smiled behind him, and his eyes were red immediately. Ning Fu and the other dowry maids stared at Lin Weixi angrily, and Gao Ran was faceless when he was judged by others in front of his grand maid.

Mother Tao glared with anger, Gao Ran glanced back, her eyes moved slightly, and she still said with a good temper: "Ning Fu is straightforward, but she can say whatever she wants. It's not like those people have a crooked heart. She is not malicious, I am afraid Miss Lin has misunderstood."

"What does the concubine Shizi mean? What does it mean to be outspoken, so there is no malice. I am still blunt, why is the concubine the concubine unhappy. Moreover, there is one thing to say, the people with crooked hearts in the concubine's words want to insinuate who what?"

After Lin Weixi finished speaking, he did not wait for Gao Ran to reply, and the courtyard was abnormally silent at this time. Lin Weixi paused for a moment before reacting immediately.

Gao Ran, this lingering person, give her another hand! Lin Weixi was always like this before he was born again. It was obvious that the other party said some specious things first. After provoking Lin Weixi's temper, Gao Ran began to pretend to be dumb and wronged. At this time, it must happen that an elder or brother passed by!

Lin Weixi suffocated his head and turned back, and he saw Gu Chengyao standing not far away. What's worse, Gu Huiyan was still standing in front of him.

Gao Ran had already stood up at this time, and graciously bowed to Gu Huiyan and Gu Chengyao, looking decent and generous, while Lin Weixi was aggressive, and seemed to be very clueless.

Lin Weixi stood up coldly, saluted hard, his heart was so angry that it exploded. Gu Chengyao kept frowning, only to be patient with Lin Weixi as a guest.

Compared to Gu Chengyao, who was unhappy, Gu Huiyan's face was much calmer, and he couldn't see what he was thinking at all. Gu Huiyan brought people closer, and the maids on both sides gave way. Lin Weixi and Gao Ran both bowed their heads and whispered softly, "Master."

Gu Huiyan glanced across the chessboard, ignorant of happiness and anger, as if just casually asking: "Are you playing chess?"

Gao Ran rushed and said, "Yes. My daughter-in-law often plays a new game with my brothers and sisters at home. I am talking about this new game with Ms. Lin. I didn't notice that the prince and the son are driving. Please forgive me."

Lin Weixi snorted inwardly. I don't know how many scenes she had been watching just now, but Gao Ran took the initiative to cover it up with chess. As a result, Lin Weixi's reputation for making troubles unreasonably and not knowing good or bad became more convincing.

Gu Huiyan seemed to have heard Gao Ran and Lin Weixi talking about chess. He smiled and asked, "Oh? I don't know how to play chess. What is it like?"

Gao Ran once again said how to play backgammon, and after hearing this, Gu Huiyan's eyes aroused interest: "The first of the five players wins. This method is new."

"Let my father laugh." Gao Ran pursed his lips and chuckled, and Tao mother next to him added in due course, "My lord, this kind of backgammon game was invented by our young lady."

After hearing this, Gu Huiyan's eyes were more meaningful: "It's rare. Since you two want to play against each other, you don't have to delay your yaxing, you just continue."

Gao Ran smiled slightly and turned his head to look at Lin Weixi inquiringly. Lin Weixi suffocated his stomach full of fire, his eyes glowed brightly at the time, and even his voice was choking hard: "I'll go down, I'm afraid you won't make it?"

After hearing this, Gu Chengyao frowned, and nodded apologetically to Gu Huiyan and Gu Chengyao, then stretched out his hand to signal Lin Weixi to take a seat first.

Lin Weixi sat down directly with a cold face. After Gu Huiyan saw it, an imperceptible smile flashed across his eyes.

Gao Ran Shi Shiran sat on the opposite side with her fingers between her fingers and said: "Miss Lin played for the first time. I took advantage. It is better for me to let Miss Lin three sons."

"Are you annoying? If you really want to let me go, just let me go the four first?" Lin Weixi's eyes were not good, and his tone was almost like eating chili. She looked at Gao Ran's face and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why, unwilling? Then let's go, pretending to be, if you're not tired, I'm still annoyed."

"Miss Lin!" Gu Chengyao couldn't help but reminded in a deep voice. His utterance stabbed a lot of trouble. Lin Weixi turned his head back, almost bursting into flames in his eyes: "What did you tell me to do? I didn't talk to you again!"

When Lin Weixi said this, his eyes were bright, like a finishing touch, and the entire exquisite, unlike real-life hibiscus noodles, also came alive. It can only be said that a beauty is a beauty. Even if it is a strong word, the person on the other side can't really be angry. Moreover, Lin Weixi's body is weak. Such a delicate beauty will have to stare at the eyes and be a tyrannical appearance. Putting it in the eyes of others, it is almost coquettish. same.

Gu Chengyao was choked, speechless. Gu Huiyan didn't hold his smile, tilted his head and smiled, then said: "Chess is the way of a gentleman, pay attention to virtue."

Lin Weixi barely held back her temper. Sitting on the opposite side of the chessboard, Gao Ran subtly gave birth to a feeling of being neglected. She trembled. This was not the effect she wanted to achieve. Gao Ran hurriedly spoke, drawing everyone's attention back to himself: "Miss Lin, I will settle down first and accept."

Gao Ran is full of confidence. She is a shortcoming in Go, but when it comes to gobang and checkers, how can these ancients compare to her? Gao Ran deliberately showed his hand in front of her husband and King Yan, so that everyone can see who is the white, rich and beautiful with connotation and cultivation, and who is the empty straw bag with the beauty and the brain.

Gao Ran was still imagining whether her chess posture was graceful, and whether her eyebrows just showed the beauty of a serious woman, she was fine-tuning her angle, and suddenly saw Lin Weixi put the chess piece between her fingers back into the chess box.

Gao Ran was slightly stunned, what did Lin Weixi do? She was a little unhappy: "What's the matter?"

Gu Chengyao frowned and did not speak. Instead, Gu Huiyan smiled lightly on her face, and pointed at the chessboard with her eyes, indicating, "She won."

Lin Weixi won? Gao Ran was shocked, impossible! She played backgammon, how could an ancient person win?

Gao Ran hurriedly went to watch the chess game and found that, as King Yan said, Lin Weixi had already joined the five sons first, and Gao Ran was immersed in his thoughts about whether his posture was beautiful enough, but he didn't even notice.

Wan Xing and Wanyue watched from behind. The two of them actually didn't understand, but King Yan said that if the girl won, there would be no mistake. Wan Xing immediately clapped his hands happily: "The girl only played for the first time, but she won The concubine with this kind of gameplay? The girl is really amazing."

Gao Ran's face turned red all of a sudden. Since she moved out of Gomoku at the age of eight, she has never lost due to the cheap rules. This time she was really careless, and she lost such a big face. Gao Ran learned from it painfully, withdrew his unnecessary thoughts, and played the second game with Lin Weixi wholeheartedly.

However, Gao Ran didn't hold on for a while before he was easily taken down by Lin Weixi.

Gao Ran was completely stunned. She smiled awkwardly at everyone's gaze, stroked her shredded hair on the sideburns, and said, "Miss Lin is really clever, she can make it easy. I just got lost, let everyone laugh."

Gao Ran implicitly signaled that he was deliberately letting Lin Weixi, Lin Weixi snorted disdainfully. She thought no one was paying attention, but Gu Huiyan was actually watching.

Gu Huiyan tilted his head and coughed lightly, hiding the smile on his lips. Gu Chengyao actually noticed Lin Weixi's small movements, he was a little embarrassed, and then saw King Yan actually smile, Gu Chengyao was shocked beyond words.

For some reason, Gu Chengyao suddenly had a very subtle feeling.

After Gao Ran forcibly saved himself, he straightened his expression and said to Lin Weixi, "Three wins in five rounds. Girl Lin, please."

Gao Ran faintly revealed a posture that she had only made Lin Weixi before, but now she was going to be serious, Gao Ran took the posture of the previous life exam and stared at the chessboard intently. Her reputation and face are all in this game, and she can't get lost.

At the beginning of the third game, he was full of taste and eager to win, but Lin Weixi also changed his previous style and became very aggressive, only offensive but not defensive. At first, Gao Ran thought about taking advantage of Lin Weixi's eager attack and chaos to take the opportunity to win, but she soon discovered that the phrase "offensive is the best defense" was correct. She was tired of besieging Lin Weixi, and her sunspot layout was in a mess. , And when she was hanging around and running around, Lin Weixi won without a word.

Lin Weixi put the white chess between his fingers back on the board, and raised his lips to a high smile, with a somewhat victorious appearance: "You are welcome to win three games in five rounds."

Gao Ran was dumbfounded before realizing that Lin Weixi's "you're welcome" was the "acquisition" she had made when she started the game.

Gao Ran's unprecedented shame...and aggrieved. She never expected that she would lose if she played modern games with the ancients as a passing girl. But before Gao Ran was full of thoughts that he would win and boasted a lot of Haikou, now... after so many years of life for Gao Ran, it was not an exaggeration to discover for the first time that he wanted to get into the ground.

Especially Gu Huiyan and Gu Chengyao were still watching, sitting in embarrassment, barely able to stand up. Seeing this, her maid quickly said: "The cold spring is expected to be very cold, and the wind is strong today. Was the concubine the prince stimulated by the cold?"

Gao Ran supported her forehead when she heard this: "Maybe, since I got up today, I was in a daze and always remembered things wrong."

Seeing this, Gu Chengyao had to go over to hold Gao Ran's arm, and thoughtfully said: "Since you are not feeling well, go back quickly, the garden is windy, be careful of the cold."

Gao Ran looked at him gratefully, her eyes soft and tender. Lin Weixi got up slowly, looking at Gao Ran as if he was seriously ill, weakly and helplessly being helped away. Gu Huiyan still stopped where he was, looking back at Lin Weixi's expression, and asked amusedly: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Lin Weixi bit his words very heavily, saying every word, "The wind is strong, I have a headache."

Gu Chengyao hadn't walked far. He paused when he heard this sentence. Then he heard Gu Huiyan's clear laughter coming from behind him. Even though the voice was very soft, the joy in it was true: "Since the headache is hurt, then Go back and rest quickly."
