032 Yin Prey
Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen were led to a table by the window by the maid of Prince Jing's palace. There were several plates of melon and fruit snacks on the table, as well as a plum vase with a few green chrysanthemums.
When the wind blows, a faint and elegant fragrance of chrysanthemum lingers in the water pavilion.
After the sisters sat down, Gu Yanfei dismissed the maid and poured two cups of tea himself, one for himself and the other for Gu Yunzhen.
Gu Yunzhen took a sip of tea and looked up in the direction of Princess Changqing. The two men and one woman who had just arrived at the water pavilion were greeting Changqing and saluting. The girl in blue held Gu Yunchuan's arm affectionately and talked and laughed.
.
"Those are the eldest young lady and the fourth young master from General Li's residence. The other younger young master looks a little strange, so he shouldn't be the young master from the Li family." Gu Yunzhen told Gu Yanfei in a low voice, "Miss Li and the third younger sister are the boudoir.
close friend."
Gu Yunzhen was always considerate and introduced to Gu Yanfei some of the noble ladies and gentlemen present. The girl who took a pink chrysanthemum from the vase to play with was the third girl from Chang Anbo's house, and the girl in pink clothes was the ninth girl from Prince Yu's house.
, and the young master in brocade clothes who just arrived outside the door is Chu Junhao, the third young master of Prince Jing’s Mansion...
There was a lot of laughter and laughter in the water pavilion. Some people were chatting about daily life, some were raising glasses to drink together, some were playing with shooting... the scene was very lively.
After conversing with Princess Changqing for a while, Gu Yunzhuang followed another maid and walked towards Gu Yanfei and the others, with a red forehead wiping finger-width in his hand.
The maids of the palace are distributing forehead wipes. Today's polo match is led by the brother and sister Chu Junhao and Princess Changqing. They are divided into two teams, with red and blue forehead wipes as the team's logo.
Everyone who will be on stage soon is in high spirits and eager to show off their skills.
"Second sister, the show is about to start. Do you want to go up and try it?" Gu Yunkuang stopped in front of the table and looked at Gu Yanfei with a bright smile and clear eyes.
Yesterday Mrs. Gu asked her to bring Gu Yanfei with her, and Gu Yunchun agreed without saying a word.
Since Gu Yanfei has returned to the Gu family, it means that sooner or later she will enter the circle of noble ladies, and more importantly, Fang Mingfeng will also come today.
Thinking of Fang Mingfeng, Gu Yunchun's eyelashes trembled.
The Gu and Fang families are family friends.
The eldest daughter of the Gu family is married to Fang Mingfeng.
However, Gu Yanfei seemed to have some misunderstandings with Fang Mingfeng and was very resistant to this marriage. He had to create an opportunity for them to meet each other.
When the two got married successfully, I no longer owed Gu Yanfei anything, and their relationship was now clean.
Gu Yanfei lowered his eyes, drank tea gracefully, and smiled without saying a word.
When Gu Yunzhen saw this, he thought she didn't know how to play polo, so he smiled and smoothed things over and said, "Second sister, come sit with me and let's watch them play."
Gu Yunzhuang thought so too, so he didn't force others to do anything. He thought to himself: Fang Mingfeng will come later, and she can just bring him over.
The smile on her face became even brighter, and she added: "The princess has set up a gambling game today and also set a lottery. Those who don't win can place bets."
"I will definitely win." Gu Yunzhuang's eyes were shining, showing his confident confidence.
Gu Yunzhen laughed and was about to speak when the brisk voice of Princess Changqing came from not far away: "Yun Cheng, you are the only one left."
Gu Yunchun, who had just sat down, said "Excuse me" and walked away in a hurry, following Chang Qing and others out of the water pavilion.
Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen still stayed at the table by the window, drinking tea, eating snacks and enjoying the lake view.
On the east side of the water pavilion is a lake, and on the west side is a vast and flat polo field, three hundred paces long and wide. There are colorful flags on the edge of the field as the boundary, and several bamboo sheds have been built as stands.
One person and one horse stood under the bamboo shed in the middle.
Fang Mingfeng, wearing a sky-blue Hufu with lapels, stood leisurely while holding a snow-white white horse. His skin was fair and his facial features were handsome. When his eyes met Gu Yunkuang's eyes, they became as gentle as spring water.
"Yun Kuang," he clasped his hands politely, showing the dignity of a prince in the palace, and greeted him with concern, "I heard from my roommate that you were feeling unwell the past few days, are you feeling better?"
Fang Mingfeng looked Gu Yunchuang up and down. The silk ribbon wrapped around her waist made her slender waist soft and easy to fold. After half a month of absence, she had lost a lot of weight...
"Occasionally there is a cold, just drink ginger soup for two days and it will be fine. It will be fine." Gu Yunkuang smiled generously.
"..." Fang Mingfeng pursed her thin lips and hesitated to speak. It was obvious why she was so thin and sick.
After chatting for a few words, Gu Yunkuang raised his hand and pointed to the Zhuoxin Water Pavilion a few feet away, and changed the topic: "My second sister is also here, and she is sitting there."
The autumn wind blew from the lake, stirring up the layers of gauze outside the water pavilion. Through the flying gauze, two girls could be vaguely seen sitting by the window, one with her back to him, and the other with her delicate and beautiful face.
Profile.
Gu Yunzhuang playfully winked at Fang Mingfeng and whispered in a low voice: "My second sister is a rare beauty."
She had a bright smile, and there was a hint of ridicule in her tone that only acquaintances could have.
"..." Fang Mingfeng's face froze, and he looked at Gu Yanfei's profile from afar, remembering the scene when he met him at the gate of Danyang City.
During this time, what happened that day has been haunting him like a bloody leech.
Fang Mingfeng couldn't help but feel a little irritated, his eyes darkened for three seconds, and a thought came to his mind:
It would be great if she died in Danyang City!
If Gu Yanfei died in Danyang City, no one in the capital would know of her existence, and Gu Yunchun would still be the second girl of the Gu family who was engaged to him...
This is all Gu Yanfei's fault! Why is she still alive?
A hint of secret sadness and resentment slowly emerged in Fang Mingfeng's deep eyes.
Changqing, who was sitting across the table, vaguely heard Gu Yunchuang's words and asked casually: "Yunkuang, is this your distant cousin?"
She knew that Gu Yanfei had nothing to do with this generation of girls from the Gu family, and was probably a side branch.
Gu Yunzhuang's eyelashes trembled, and the smile on his face was a little forced.
The relationship between her and Gu Yanfei is too complicated to be explained clearly in a few words, and...
"This is my cousin." Gu Yunkuang said vaguely, and then added, "My second sister has an affair with the prince..."
Gu Yunchuan wanted to say that Gu Yanfei and Fang Mingfeng were engaged and couldn't wait to make this matter public.
However, after just a few words, he was impatiently interrupted by Fang Mingfeng next to him:
"It's almost over. Let's discuss how to fight later."
"Princess, your third brother is good at defense and should be in charge of this position; Third Young Master Wang and Fourth Young Master Wang have a good tacit understanding, so they must be two forwards; Princess Anle can both defend and attack, and plays polo well. It's a pity that she
This horse is new and unruly..."
Gu Yunkuang knew that he was deliberately changing the topic and sighed secretly.
