176 Admiration
Wei Jiaoni smiled so hard that she leaned back and forth, tears streamed out of her eyes. She leaned on Gu Yanfei and said enthusiastically: "Guess!"
"If you can't guess, you can find someone to do it, maybe you'll know."
Wei Jiaoniang did not hide her dislike for Yu Chaoyun.
"What? Do you need a reason to hate someone?" Lu Qin smiled and said, "I don't like barking dogs, do you still need to explain to others?"
Yu Chaoyun clenched the handkerchief tightly, his face turned pale, and his eyes were even more gloomy and gloomy.
As far as she is concerned, it is no longer just because she was slapped in the face in public.
Today she represents a piano playing for the aristocratic family. If she loses, she will hurt the face of the aristocratic family. However, as long as she can maintain the integrity of the aristocratic family, she can still gain recognition from others.
But now, Gu Yanfei, Wei Jiaoniang and the others have simply stepped on her into the mud. If she went back in shame, what would other girls from aristocratic families look at her?! Who would still look up to her in the future?!
"The snow has stopped!" Wei Jiaoniang shouted happily at the window, stood up suddenly from the chair, and pulled Gu Yanfei and Lu Qin up, "We can hide and seek."
"Okay, okay, I'm almost frozen in my seat." A girl in green jumped up excitedly, and the others were eager to try.
Lu Qin shrank, and before he could get out of the water pavilion, he could already feel the biting chill.
She didn't want to go outside to blow the cold wind, but she couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the other people, so she just gave up and left the water pavilion with the other girls.
No one paid attention to Yu Chaoyun anymore, and she was the only one standing there alone by the table.
The girls' brisk laughter gradually faded away.
Miss Zeng and others on the west side of the Water Pavilion were still sitting in the distance, looking at Yu Chaoyun with complicated expressions, and no one stepped forward for a long time.
There was a dead silence around.
Yu Chaoyun's hand hiding in her sleeve tightly pinched the incense ball, almost flattening it.
I don’t know how long it took, but a friendly and gentle female voice came to her ear: “Chaoyun.”
The sound rang a few steps behind her, and a slender and graceful shadow was cast beside her, and the silhouette of butterfly beads shaking slightly on the ground.
Even if he didn't look back, Yu Chaoyun knew that the person coming was Gu Yunhao. His fingers in his sleeves tightened again, and the haze in his eyes was so thick that it was about to overflow.
She knew since she was a child that her cousin Fang Mingfeng and Gu Yun'an from Dingyuan Hou's Mansion had to hide her thoughts.
After coming to the capital, she learned from her aunt, the British wife that Gu Yunhao had an affair with King Kang, so she pushed her cousin to Gu Yanfei, a second girl who had been away for more than ten years in the house of Gu's parents.
And Gu Yanfei actually told the Empress Dowager in public in Prince Jing's Mansion that she did not recognize her marriage with the Fang family.
This news was like a thunder strike to Yu Chaoyun.
Her cousin, whom she was devoted to, was pushed around by the Gu sisters like hot potatoes. What did they regard their cousin as?!
"Chaoyun?" Gu Yunhao called again in the back, and the shadow on the ground also moved forward.
Yu Chaoyun closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes returned to calm.
She slowly turned around, and when her face met Gu Yun'an a few steps away, her expression was full of grievances. The water in her eyes was flowing, and her slightly white cherry lips were pursed tightly, looking as if she was tolerant and embarrassed.
It looks like the bright and dignified peony flowers are rudely folded from the branches, and a few petals fall from the crown.
Gu Yun'an couldn't bear to see Yu Chaoyun's appearance: Yu Chaoyun is just a young girl who is just a young girl, but he never knew that the winners and losses in this world are often just a word from those in power, and there is no fairness.
"Chaoyun, you haven't lost, and you don't need to admit defeat. Don't mind it too much." Gu Yunhao showed a soothing smile at Yu Chaoyun, and the pair of dimples at the corner of his lips seemed to be filled with honey, which was very nice to see.
"Old, thank you." Yu Chaoyun nodded, walked closer to Gu Yunyang, and forced a smile, with a slightly bitter smile.
She reached out and held one of Gu Yunhao's hands. With every move, she looked like a white rabbit who was ignorant of the world, weak and innocent, with a childlike dependence.
Gu Yunhao felt that Yu Chaoyun's palm was cold, and he felt that the other party was more pitiful, and sighed in his heart.
She shook Yu Chaoyun's hand comfortably, trying to give her strength and warmth.
Yu Chaoyun's eyes turned to the shimmering lake outside the window and said softly: "My father, I was actually sent to the capital by my family."
"I don't hide it from you, they are just for the eldest prince's concubine."
Her voice was erratic and powerless. When she spoke, her long raised eyelashes trembled and her chest was even more violently.
It seemed that it had been suppressed for a long time, and no one had ever told me, so I could only talk to Gu Yunhao.
"thump!"
A golden and silver carp in the lake water outside the window flew from the water and fell down again. Water splashed everywhere, and a few drops of water splashed onto their dresses through the window. Yu Chaoyun's cuffs were wet, as if they were stained with tears.
"Chaoyun..." The pity in Gu Yun's words became stronger, and he felt something, so he wanted to persuade her.
In this era, whether it is a common woman or a noble mansion, they are all involuntarily. Their marriage is in the hands of the family, and they can only go with the flow and find a marriage that is of equal status. From then on, they will take care of their husbands and children, and the couple will live their lives with respect and respect.
It is really pitiful to gradually turn from a brilliant pearl into a boring and boring dead fish eye.
However, before Gu Yun's words could be said, Yu Chaoyun gently said: "My father, I'm actually very happy."
Gu Yun's cherry lips opened slightly and looked at Yu Chaoyun in astonishment.
Yu Chaoyun looked at Gu Yunhao again, smiled slightly, with three-point gentleness and three-point sweetness in his smile, and then said, "I am very happy. I have admired His Highness the Great Prince since I was a child."
"When I was young, I came to Beijing several times..."
"When I was seven years old, I went into the palace with my aunt and met His Highness the Great Prince in the Imperial Garden. At that time, I and a few girls were watching the lotus by the lake. Two girls had a fight and accidentally bumped into me while pushing. Just a little bit, I was about to fall into the lake. Fortunately, His Highness the Great Prince pulled me away."
"To me at that time, Your Highness was like a hero... He was really a very gentle person."
What Yu Chaoyun said is half true, but her emotions are true.
When she was seven years old, she did go to the palace with her aunt, but in the story she hid someone, cousin Fang Mingfeng.
Back then, the person who held her in the palace was her cousin, and the person she fell in love with was also her cousin.
