Concubine Shen? Could it be such a coincidence that she is the legendary Shen Qiuyu...
A gentle and melodious woman's voice rang out: "Hurry up and excuse yourself. Mo Xiang, is cousin Xiyu in the pavilion?" Although I didn't see her, I knew who was coming just by hearing such a pleasant voice. She is definitely a rare beauty.
Mo Xiang was quite loyal and responded boldly: "The young lady is staying inside with my cousin. I will go and report to you right now. Please wait a moment."
The woman smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
In this moment, Ye Qinglan had come to her senses. The person who came was indeed Shen Qiuyu!
After hearing about that epic love story, she had always been curious about the heroine in the story. She never expected that she would be lucky enough to see Shen Qiuyu's true face in Lushan today.
Thinking of this, Ye Qinglan actually became a little excited.
Mo Xiang walked into the pavilion and reported in a low voice: "Miss, Concubine Shen wants to see you." After a pause, she added in a low voice: "That's Miss Shen who used to live in our house."
When Gu Xiyu heard this name, she seemed unhappy and even frowned.
Mo Xiang had long been accustomed to her master's silence. She came in to report to her just to make her mentally prepared. She was about to turn around when she suddenly heard Gu Xiyu say, "I don't want to see her."
This sentence reached the ears of Mo Xiang and Ye Qinglan clearly, and both of them were stunned.
Mo Xiang didn't know what to do and looked at Ye Qinglan for help. If it were someone else, that would be fine. If you don't see her, you'll see her. It doesn't matter if you offend her. But this Shen Qiuyu is now the most favored woman around the prince...
Ye Qinglan glanced at Gu Xiyu and saw that Gu Xiyu pursed her lips and her eyes were full of stubbornness. People who usually look like they have no independent opinions will be particularly difficult to deal with once they become stubborn. What's more, Gu Xiyu's temperament is very different from ordinary people. It's better to follow her wishes. It's a pity that such a good opportunity has passed. It may not be so easy to see Shen Qiuyu next time.
Ye Qinglan made up her mind and said in a low voice: "Mo Xiang, tell Concubine Shen that the young lady is in poor health and it is not appropriate to see people at this time."
Mo Xiang went away with a bitter face.
Ye Qinglan pricked up her ears and listened carefully to what was going on over there.
Mo Xiang smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Miss is in poor health. It's really not suitable to see outsiders."
The woman was silent for a moment, then sighed softly: "In the eyes of my cousin, am I already an outsider?" That long and gentle sigh was accompanied by a hint of sadness and sadness.
Mo Xiang didn't dare to continue the conversation, so she could only keep laughing with him.
The woman did not force anyone to make things difficult for her. She said calmly: "Since my cousin doesn't want to see me, forget it. I hope that next time we meet, my cousin will not reject me."
With that said, he turned and left.
Mo Xiang breathed a deep sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with her hand. Turning her head, she found that Ye Qinglan had walked over at some point, and her eyes were fixed on the back of the woman who was getting away.
Being so far away and blocked by several maids, she could only see half of the woman's back and a head of black hair. But even so, she still felt amazing.
She has seen a lot of beauties. Beautiful appearance is beautiful, liveliness and cuteness are beautiful, detached temperament is beautiful, graceful posture is beautiful, and every smile is beautiful. But there is a kind of beauty that goes beyond the appearance. Even a back view is beautiful. It will make people feel excited.
Shen Qiuyu is such a beauty.
Probably because Ye Qinglan's eyes were too intense and focused, Mo Xiang couldn't help coughing.
Ye Qinglan came back to her senses, smiled and sighed: "She is really beautiful."
Naturally, Mo Xiang did not refute this statement. Anyone who has met Shen Qiuyu will know that Ye Qinglan's compliment is not excessive at all.
"She's not beautiful!" Gu Xiyu walked over expressionlessly and said three words in a hard voice.
Ye Qinglan was stunned. Gu Xiyu didn't seem to like Shen Qiuyu very much. He refused to see her before, and now he suddenly said such a sentence. In terms of Gu Xiyu's temperament, such a reaction can almost be described as intense... ..
"She's not beautiful," Gu Xiyu repeated again. She didn't know what she thought of, but suddenly smiled: "You are more beautiful than her."
Ye Qinglan burst into laughter. Everyone loves her for being so obedient, but she never expected that one day she would hear Gu Xiyu praise her so much.
For Gu Xiyu, the word beauty only represents her personal emotions. Those she likes are naturally beautiful, and those she dislikes are not beautiful. It seems that Shen Qiuyu did not get along well with Gu Xiyu before she got married. .
The other maids also came over.
Seeing that it was past noon, everyone was a little hungry. Ruixue couldn't help but whispered: "Miss, is it time to go back?" Staying here all the time is not an option.
Ye Qinglan looked at Gu Xiyu and asked softly: "Cousin Xiyu, are you hungry? Can we go to eat?"
Gu Xiyu nodded first, then shook her head. She was hungry, but she didn't want to go back to that crowded place at all.
Ye Qinglan thought for a while and whispered to Mo Xiang: "Go and find your aunt quietly and tell her that Cousin Xiyu and I will not go there. When you come back, bring some food."
Mo Xiang took the order and went.
Seeing that Gu Xiyu was in a good mood, Ye Qinglan simply walked around the pavilion with Gu Xiyu casually. Pretending to be casual, she asked, "Don't you like her?"
Although she didn't mention her by name, Gu Xiyu understood who she was, her pretty face suddenly darkened, and she didn't say a word, which was regarded as acquiescence.
It was really inappropriate to ask such a simple child for gossip, but Ye Qinglan was so curious that she couldn't help but ask: "Has she really been living in Dingguo's mansion before?"
Gu Xiyu nodded, and rarely opened her mouth to speak: "She has lived here for a long time."
"Has Cousin Gu always liked her?" Ye Qinglan asked calmly.
Everyone knew this fact. Gu Xiyu couldn't deny it even if she wanted to. She snorted and turned her head to the side. It was a rare childish and awkward look, but it looked quite cute.
Shen Qiuyu has lived in Dingguo Palace for many years, and she and Gu Xi were childhood sweethearts. Although Gu Xiyu is a few years younger, she should be very familiar with her. So, why does Gu Xiyu reject Shen Qiuyu so much?
Could it be that Gu Xiyu had a brother-in-law complex, and because Gu Xinian liked Shen Qiuyu, he developed a dislike for Shen Qiuyu?
The more Ye Qinglan thought about it, the more likely she felt that this was possible. This kind of mentality is actually very common. Her brother originally loved her the most, but another girl appeared and took away his attention and care. The younger sister felt dissatisfied, and even It is natural to feel disgust towards that girl.
It's just that Gu Xiyu doesn't know how to hide her likes and dislikes, which is particularly obvious.
Mo Xiang came back soon, along with Ye Qingning and Zhang Yue.
Ye Qinglan smiled and stepped forward to say hello. Ye Qingning responded casually, glanced at Gu Xiyu, and asked in a low voice: "Is she feeling better now?" What he said just now shocked everyone. No one was.
I don’t dare to approach Gu Xiyu easily anymore.
Ye Qinglan hummed.
Ye Qingning felt relieved and walked closer with Zhang Yue, carefully keeping a short distance: "Cousin Xiyu, cousin Yue and I will bring you some food."
As long as he didn't get too close, Gu Xiyu didn't have any special reaction and remained silent, which was regarded as an agreement.
Zhang Yuechong winked at the maids behind him, who carried the trays into the pavilion and placed the dishes on the stone table one by one. Then they quietly stepped away.
The portions of the dishes are not large, but they are small and exquisite. Eight plates are placed neatly, plus two bowls of rice.
Smelling the aroma of the food, Ye Qinglan suddenly felt hungry. She put all her thoughts aside and sat down. Seeing that Gu Xiyu didn't move, she smiled and waved to Gu Xiyu: "Cousin Xiyu, you must be hungry too.
Come on, sit down and eat together quickly, otherwise the food will get cold."
Mo Xiang was about to open her mouth and say, "Our lady is not used to eating with others," when she saw Gu Xiyu obediently walked over and sat down.
…
Mo Xiang and Jade looked at each other, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
Gu Xiyu never liked to eat at the same table with others. Even in Duke Dingguo's palace, there were only three people who had this honor. These three people were naturally Zheng Hong, Mrs. Zheng, and Gu Xinian.
What is so special about this young lady from Changyuan's house that Gu Xiyu thinks so highly of her?
Ye Qingning looked at this scene and felt a little disgusted in her heart, but there were so many things that happened today. She was in a mess. She just wanted to talk to Ye Qinglan alone for a while. Unfortunately, this place was not suitable for her at this time, so she had to concentrate on all her chaotic thoughts.
Pressed down.
Ye Qinglan ate with gusto, and Gu Xiyu didn't have much appetite at first. It can be seen that Ye Qinglan ate so deliciously that he ate a lot without knowing it.
By the time both of them were full, half of the food on the table had been eaten. The rest was shared among several maids.
After both master and servant had filled their bellies, they felt much better.
Zhang Yue kept smiling and said nothing, then he opened his mouth with a smile and said: "Today's flower viewing banquet will be held by the lotus pond. My mother specially ordered people to prepare fine wine and delicacies, as well as all kinds of fresh fruits, snacks and tea.
There will be wonderful talent performances by everyone, and it will be very lively. How about you two sisters go and join in the fun together?"
Ye Qinglan was bored in the house all day, and there was no reason not to be moved when she heard such excitement. But Gu Xiyu was obviously reluctant to go, lowering her head and saying nothing.
Ye Qinglan thought for a while and whispered: "Cousin Xiyu, can we play a game?"
Game? Gu Xiyu raised her head, her eyes full of doubts.
Ye Qinglan laughed quietly and said: "The two of us quietly walked over and secretly watched what they were doing. Just don't let them see the two of us, okay?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to
