The day before winter hunting, it snowed again for a day, but it stopped in the evening. The next day, there was a thin layer of snow on the official road, and there were white patches everywhere, but it did not affect walking.
Yu Jinxi followed Gu Qiheng out at Mao Shi, and happened to run into the Qi family when they went out. In front of Qi Chengshu and Mrs. Qi, Gu Qiheng behaved particularly attentively.
There was a faint arc on Yu Jinxi's face. Facing Gu Qiheng's false concern, she didn't seem indifferent even if she didn't respond.
She wasn't stupid, she could see the murderous intention hidden in Gu Qiheng's pretended to be affectionate eyes.
He was too anxious, eager to expose his purpose before things were accomplished.
Due to well-known reasons, Gu Chengxuan was unable to go hunting in the winter, and in the Qi family, only Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi went out, and their children were not seen.
The carriages of the two families walked in tandem, waiting for the emperor's carriage to pass by on the edge of the official road. After bowing and bowing, the carriage followed the end of the team and left the city together.
Gu Qiheng was not a chamberlain, so he was not qualified to enter the palace to accompany the emperor, but Mr. Qi did not go either, which is a bit intriguing.
Yu Jinxi suddenly thought of Yanhuai, and felt uneasy, worried that the emperor would express his anger overtly or covertly against Lord Qi and harm his ministers.
She was thinking about something in her mind, her expression was solemn, and she completely ignored Gu Qiheng beside her.
Ever since they started making trouble, she now feels disgusted even if she says a word to Gu Qiheng.
"Jinxi, is there anything else you want to explain to me?"
Gu Qiheng suddenly spoke, making Yu Jinxi slightly startled. She raised her eyes to look at Gu Qiheng, and she felt even more disgusted when she saw that he was trying hard to appear sincere.
"What do I need to tell you?"
Yu Jinxi's voice was cold and hard. If it were the past, Gu Qiheng would definitely have a cold face, but this time he was still positive with a smile on his face.
"You have rarely mentioned the matters involving my father-in-law and mother-in-law during this period. My people in Dingzhou told me that there have been some unfavorable rumors about my father-in-law and mother-in-law recently. Are you aware of this?"
After hearing this, Yu Jinxi instantly understood that he was once again concerned about the property in her parents' hands, and he tried to take advantage of every opportunity.
While he had murderous intentions towards himself, he also wanted to get information from him and get involved in the Yu family's property.
There are nine holes in the lotus root, and he can occupy them all.
Yu Jinxi didn't want to answer at first, but when he saw that he looked sincerely yearning for him, he decided to tease him.
She lowered her eyes pretending to be worried and said in a deep voice, "They are just rumors. They have no impact on my family, so I didn't tell you."
Seeing this, Gu Qiheng hurriedly said, "Jinxi, I am your husband and half son of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. How can you not let me know if there is something going on at home?"
Yu Jinxi snorted coldly, "Then tell me, what should I tell you? I just said it, do you listen?"
"I……"
Gu Qiheng suddenly choked on his words. Recently, he was busy with concubines and Liu Ruyan. He was either quarreling with Yu Jinxi or on the way to the quarrel. How could he have time to calm down and listen to her words?
Thinking of this, Gu Qiheng blamed Liu Ruyan again.
If it weren't for Liu Ruyan, he and Yu Jinxi would definitely be in harmony, and it wouldn't be so difficult to get news about the Yu family.
"Jinxi, I know that I was wrong during this period. Your Excellency, please don't get angry with me. I was deceived by Liu Ruyan before. Now that I know her true face, I will never be fooled by her again in the future. Confused."
Gu Qiheng said that he was about to take Yu Jinxi's hand, but Yu Jinxi took it away directly and looked at him with a cold face, obviously not believing him.
Gu Qiheng gritted his teeth and simply knelt in the carriage.
"Jinxi, believe me, everything I tell is the truth."
The carriage was already narrow, so when he knelt down like this, the space became even smaller.
Yu Jinxi really didn't want to face such a stupid face on his face, so he said, "Get up. What will it look like if others find out?"
Gu Qiheng asked quickly, "Then do you believe me?"
"trust you."
Do you believe me?
Even if Yu Jinxi believed that it would rain knives from the sky, he wouldn't believe a word of it.
After Gu Qiheng stood up, he continued to ask about the Yu family. Yu Jinxi told nonsense and deliberately revealed a small clue to Gu Qiheng.
After Gu Qiheng learned about it, his eyes shone with excitement.
His intention to plot against the Yu family is obvious.
Yu Jinxi just let him be happy and let him enjoy himself before destruction.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment when it is dashed.
They finally set up camp before noon. Yu Jinxi went to kneel to the emperor with Gu Qiheng. They knelt in a dark place. She and Gu Qiheng were almost at the end, and they could only vaguely see a bright yellow field in front of them.
After kneeling down, they went back to the camp. Gu Qiheng was called to discuss matters. Yu Jinxi and Qingti were tidying up in the camp. Not long after, Zhang Suying came, and Zuo Yutang came with her.
"Sister Yu, the snow scene outside is so beautiful. Let's go and see it together."
The two girls were both wearing riding attire and wind-catching fox fur hats. Their snow-white fur made the two girls even more beautiful.
Although Yu Jinxi was also wearing a riding outfit, her hat looked much plainer. Not only did it not accentuate her appearance, but it actually made her look a little less beautiful.
There was the third prince on the hunting ground, so Zhang Suying naturally dressed up for him.
Zuo Yutang hasn't said goodbye yet, and there are many children from aristocratic families here today. Naturally, they have ulterior motives for dressing up like this.
As for her, a married woman, there have been rumors circulating recently, so it is better to keep a low profile.
Yu Jinxi followed them out, and Qingti and their maids followed behind. Qingti knew how to make food. When she came, she made a lot of snacks that were easy to store and took them with her. She also put some in her purse. The master was talking in front. The three girls were sharing snacks in the back.
"Sister Yu, look, this place is so beautiful!"
The three people walked to a slope. Below the slope was a lush mountain forest, with patches of green exposed in the white snow, which was particularly magnificent.
My breath was cold, but the vast land in front of me made my whole body relax.
The three of them stayed for a while, then went to watch elsewhere. When they turned a hillside, several tall figures came towards them.
Yu Jinxi only glanced at it and immediately pulled Zhang Suying and Zuo Yutang to kneel down and salute.
The three of them lowered their heads and stood up only after the person had excused themselves. Then they stood aside to make way for the other person.
It was okay for them to leave, but one person suddenly came back to his senses and looked directly at Yu Jinxi with his sharp eyes, "Are you the eldest lady of the Yu family?
The one who spoke was none other than the second prince of the dynasty, Yan Nuiyao. Next to him stood the eldest prince, Yan Nuzuo, followed by the third prince, Yan Nunshu, with Yan Huai standing next to him.
Yanhuai and them were cousins, but after all, the imperial power was superior. In order to distinguish them, the princes added the character "妞", which means the name of the mountain.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Yu Jinxi bent his knees slightly and said neither humble nor arrogantly, "My wife, Madam Gu, pays my respects to all the princes. Peace, princes."
Hearing this, Yannuiyao looked like he suddenly realized, "Oh, I forgot, you are already married."
