"Miss Gu, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Hongfei couldn't explain why, but his heart clenched when he saw the tears on Gu Qiushui's face.
"But someone in the mansion neglected you?"
"Master Hou, where are you talking about?"
Gu Qiushui quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and blessed his body with tears and smiles, "My master and servant are living in the capital, and it is thanks to your helping hand that I have a place to stay. Don't worry, Lord Marquis, once I find a place to go, We will leave without causing you any trouble."
"Why is there trouble?"
Yan Hongfei smiled and said, "Girl, don't worry, there will always be a mixture of good and bad people outside. If you are not optimistic, moving out of the Hou Mansion may be more dangerous."
Gu Qiushui lowered his head sadly and sighed softly after a long time.
"The world is hard and dangerous, how could I not know it?" There was sadness and helplessness in her voice, "My parents passed away, so I thought I could seek refuge with my uncle. Who would have thought that my uncle is no longer here either."
"The world is so big that there is no place for a little girl like me."
She has faint mountain eyebrows and a slight frown at the tip of her eyebrows.
The round and round eyes are filled with autumn water.
As soon as he lowered his head and sighed softly, the urge to put aside everything to protect her suddenly arose.
Yan Hongfei stepped forward.
Gu Qiushui seemed to be taken aback, and backed away slightly, keeping distance from him.
"It's very late, Mr. Marquis, I'm going back first."
Gu Qiushui bent his knees slightly, blessed himself, and left quickly, seemingly frightened by Yan Hongfei's sudden action just now.
He was dodging so quickly, as if he was being treated as a savage beast.
However, Yan Hongfei was not displeased.
On the contrary, he even felt that Gu Qiushui's hasty avoidance was the reserve of a boudoir woman.
Ordinarily, if a relative dies and the relatives are unable to surrender, who would refuse the opportunity to get a little closer to a dignitary from the capital?
Gu Qiushui is the one who is truly unsullied from the mundane world.
The evening wind blew by, rustling the bamboo forest.
The lotus fragrance of Gu Qiushui still seemed to linger on Yan Hongfei's nose.
He stood outside Yuzhu Garden in a daze for a while, then left with his hands behind his back.
For several days in a row, everyone in the Hou family discovered that Yan Hongfei liked to run to Yuzhu Garden after returning from his errands every day.
He didn't go empty-handed, sometimes he would bring some paint and paper for Miss Gu, and sometimes he would bring a crystal Go set.
Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, Miss Gu always asked her personal maid to come out to thank Yan Hongfei, and then closed the courtyard door tightly.
Until one day, Yan Hongfei found a jade flute out of nowhere, and Miss Gu finally welcomed it in person to her surprise.
[Can you not be surprised? I heard that the former emperor awarded it to Cheng Jiuxian, the best musician in the world. 】
[Made entirely of jasper, it is worth more than ten thousand gold. 】
Yan Jiaojiao, wearing a small red bellyband and a bright red silk jacket, was lying in the peony garden basking in the sun while complaining crazily in her heart.
[Daddy, this is simply letting yourself go. 】
[When Liu Xinyue was still outside, he was sneaking around and it was very glamorous outside. 】
[Are you completely shameless now? 】
Bring everything to the Hou Mansion?
Before he could finish his rant, Ji's mouth was pinched.
[Mom, I don’t feel well! 】
"Be honest!"
Ji finally discovered that her daughter was really not an ordinary child.
It made her hear what was in her heart and avoid talking about it. From morning to night, the words in her heart never stopped.
It's just a little chatterbox.
Mrs. Ji was worried. In the future, this girl would be able to talk, and she would not be able to cause headaches by chattering.
[Mother, mother, I want to play with pearls! 】
This pearl was given to her by none other than the Ninth Prince.
The other countries paid tribute, and the emperor rewarded them for the Ninth Prince to play with.
The Ninth Prince felt that Yan Jiaojiao's eyes were as bright as the pearl, so he changed hands and gave it to Yan Jiaojiao to play with.
How dare Mrs. Ji give it to her?
When it was delivered the first day, no one was paying attention, and the little ancestor almost stuffed the pearl into his mouth.
Nanny Chen was so frightened that she grabbed it and shouted to Bodhisattva while covering her chest.
After knocking on Yan Jiaojiao's head, Ji called Tang Rui over and took her in to eat.
Yan Jiaojiao refused to drink the wet nurse's milk, so Ji could only taste her with goat's milk.
I don’t know if it’s because of drinking goat’s milk, but Yan Jiaojiao’s originally white and tender flesh became more and more shiny.
This also made the rouge mole between her eyebrows become more vivid.
Every time Yan Jiaojiao smiles, it makes people feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze.
Princess Cheng was particularly fond of Yan Jiaojiao.
As the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, Princess Cheng posted a message asking Mrs. Ji to take Yan Jiaojiao to the palace for the Dragon Boat Festival banquet.
Only when they arrived at the Prince's Mansion did Ji find out that Princess Cheng not only invited her, but also several nobles and clan members in the capital who were close to Prince Cheng's Mansion.
"Hurry up and bring the child over and tell me to take a look!"
Princess Yong'an smiled.
She was the youngest daughter of the late emperor, and had a good relationship with the emperor and the emperor since she was a child.
Her consort was the second son of the Crown Prince Chengen from the mother-in-law of Empress Dowager Guo.
However, the relationship between Princess Yongan and the consort was not very good.
After several years of marriage, the eldest princess has not given birth to a son or a daughter.
After hearing that Princess Cheng always boasted about how cute her goddaughter was, Princess Yongan had long wanted to meet her.
Mrs. Ji hurriedly sent her daughter to the eldest princess.
Princess Yong'an said "Ouch" and immediately grabbed it.
With the fragrant and soft little girl in her arms, Princess Yongan felt her heart soften.
"He is indeed a very clever child."
Princess Yong'an casually took off the Yingluo from her neck and hung it on Yan Jiaojiao.
The precious light on the necklace flashed, and Yan Jiaojiao suddenly felt extremely happy.
【Get rich, get rich again! Her Royal Highness the Princess is so beautiful, generous and kind! 】
Princess Yong'an was surprised. Could this little girl be able to talk?
But she clearly didn't see her mouth move!
Besides, the child is so young, it is impossible to even think about it. So what was going on when he praised her so happily just now?
【It's a pity to be pitiful when someone is unkind. 】
Being unkind to someone...
Princess Yong'an's marriage was granted by Empress Dowager Guo herself, for no other reason than to woo her mother's family, Cheng'en Palace.
Ordinarily speaking, Duke Cheng'en's mansion should be grateful for the princess's death. Not to mention treating the princess as an ancestor, at least there must be the most fundamental respect, right?
But Yongan Prince Consort had no such idea at all.
Because her aunt was the Queen Mother, she didn't take Princess Yong'an seriously at all.
Not to mention how many beautiful maids he had in his room, there were several concubines and concubines. The cockfighting and lackeys supporting the actors outside were a scene in the entire capital.
Princess Yong'an hated this consort to the point where she felt like vomiting when she saw him.
Therefore, he was rarely summoned to serve in the princess's mansion. After being married for so long, the two of them don't even have any children.
So when she heard the words "unkindness when meeting people", Princess Yong'an was touched by her thoughts, her eyes became hot and she almost shed tears.
