"Sister Guo'er."
Suddenly a gentle man's voice sounded. Sheng Guoer looked up and saw a strange young man in white clothes. He has long eyebrows, delicate facial features, and elegant temperament.
"Hello, my name is Gu Yan."
Gu Yan?
Sheng Guoer was stunned, "Do you know me?"
"Sister Guoer is unparalleled in talent and beauty, how could I not know. Sister Guoer, you are beautiful tonight." Gu Yan looked at Sheng Guoer lovingly, his eyes full of doting.
Sheng Guoer frowned, "Who are you?"
"Sister Guo'er, I..."
Before Gu Yan could finish his words, a delicate female voice rang out, "Sister Guoer, it turns out you are here, I can easily find you. Why are you hiding here? Hurry up, His Highness Seventh Prince will find you later."
Sheng Guoer turned around and saw that it was Meng Qili.
Meng Qili was followed by two maids, surrounding her as she walked forward. As she walked, she did not forget to stare at Sheng Guoer and Mo Jin with disdain, as if she was saying 'country girl', 'a toad wants to eat swan meat'.
"Meng Qili, don't go too far!" Mo Jin glared at Meng Qili angrily.
Meng Qili snorted coldly, "Country rough guy, what qualifications do you have to talk to me?"
"My young master is a staff member of His Highness Seventh Prince. You are not allowed to scold my young master. If you curse again, my young master will not spare you!" Mo Jin yelled and threatened Meng Qili.
Meng Qili glanced at Gu Yan contemptuously, "You are just a humble staff member, what should I be afraid of? I am in a good mood today and I don't want to argue with you. Get out of here."
Gu Yan stood there and did not leave, still looking at Sheng Guoer with a smile.
Seeing Sheng Guo'er silent, Gu Yan sighed in his heart, "Sister Guo'er, you don't want to ignore me and don't force it. It's just that I like you, whether you believe it or not."
Meng Qili stopped suddenly, turned and shouted at Gu Yan, "Gu Yan, who do you think you are? Are you worthy of marrying a princess?"
Meng Qili's words hurt Gu Yan.
Gu Yan looked at Sheng Guo'er with a sad look on his face and explained: "Sister Guo'er, I am actually Gu Yan, the legitimate son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I..."
"So what about Gu Yan? He's just a concubine." Meng Qili said mockingly: "Gu Yan, it's obvious that you want to win over the princess. Do you think the princess will look at you more? It's a fool's dream!"
Meng Qili glanced at Gu Yan disdainfully, "Sheng Guo'er, you are also blind. You have fallen in love with such an ugly country girl! What a shame!"
With that said, Meng Qili stepped on Sheng Guoer hard.
Mo Jin gritted his teeth in anger, "Meng Qili, my young lady is much more noble than a princess."
"Can a princess be unreasonable?" Meng Qili retorted.
Mo Jin snorted coldly, "Meng Qili, don't think that just because you are the daughter of my uncle, you can use your power to bully others. Not only is Guo'er more noble than you, she also has the ability to make your uncle listen to her. What can you do with the princess?"
Meng Qili suddenly felt ashamed.
Sheng Guoer narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Mo Jin, let's go."
"Sister Guo'er, how can you bear it? Meng Qili insults you so much, and you still want to leave!" Mo Jin said angrily.
Sheng Guoer raised her eyebrows and asked, "She is the daughter of my uncle's house. I can't afford to offend her. I'll just leave it at that."
When Meng Qili saw that Sheng Guoer was planning to leave, she immediately changed her attitude and took Sheng Guoer's arm, calling her affectionately: "Sister Guoer..."
"Let go." Sheng Guoer shouted coldly.
Not only did Meng Qili not let go, she hugged Sheng Guoer and said coquettishly: "Sister Guoer, we are the best friends. It was all a misunderstanding just now, don't mind me, okay."
"Meng Qili, I'm warning you to let go! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!" Sheng Guoer shouted sternly.
Sheng Guoer's attitude was very firm, and Meng Qili had to let go of her angrily.
Meng Qili apologized aggrievedly, "Sister Guo'er, I didn't mean to target you just now. I...don't be angry, okay?"
"Ha! Meng Qili, do you really think I'm stupid? Ever since I came to the banquet, you've been stumbling upon me at every turn. Tonight, you've made trouble again and again. Do you dare to say that it's not because you like His Majesty the Seventh Prince? Let me tell you, you If you dare to pester me again, the tricks I will use to deal with you will definitely not be the same as tonight."
After Sheng Guoer finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and left.
Meng Qili looked at Sheng Guoer's back, her teeth itching with hatred.
"Cousin, hurry up and chase her. If you don't chase her, the princess will marry someone else." Meng Qili urged.
Gu Yan shook his head, "No need to chase, let's go."
"But……"
Meng Qili still wanted to persuade her, but Gu Yan stared at her coldly and shut up in fear.
…
In the pavilion of the imperial garden, the seventh prince Xiao Yi sat on a stone bench, quietly looking at the lake in a daze.
Sheng Guoer walked into the pavilion and saluted respectfully, "The daughter of the people joins His Majesty the Seventh Highness."
The seventh prince slowly raised his eyes to look at Sheng Guo'er, a hint of surprise appeared on his handsome and sunny face, and then he regained his composure and said gently: "No courtesy."
Sheng Guoer stood up and stood with her head lowered, not daring to look at Xiao Yi.
The seventh prince looked at her and suddenly said: "Are you afraid of being alone?"
Sheng Guoer quickly shook her head, "A civilian girl wouldn't dare."
"Yeah." Xiao Yi nodded, with an indifferent expression, "Sit down."
Sheng Guoer hesitated for a moment and sat down opposite Xiao Yi, as formal as a student meeting a teacher.
Xiao Yi looked at Sheng Guo'er and asked, "Which family are you from? What's your name?"
"Beauty Sheng Guo'er."
Sheng Guoer reported her name.
Xiao Yi seemed a little surprised, "Sheng Guoer? This name is so familiar."
"Yes, yes, His Majesty Seventh Prince must be familiar with it. The consort gave Guoer this name." Meng Qili said first.
Sheng Guoer frowned and looked at Meng Qili. It was inappropriate to mention her parents in this situation. Meng Qili did this on purpose.
Meng Qili noticed Sheng Guoer's gaze and said with a smile: "Sister Guoer, don't stare at me like that. I am your sister, please remind you what is wrong with His Majesty Seventh Prince? You don't need to thank me, I am I care about you!"
Meng Qili's words are becoming more and more suspicious.
Sheng Guoer looked at Meng Qili coldly, "Miss Meng, I don't need anyone's care."
"Oh, sister Guo'er, I'm really worried about you."
Meng Qili continued to pretend, "Sister Guo'er, you are still young and don't understand men's thoughts. His Seventh Prince is the best and most handsome man in the capital.
He was generous to his wives and concubines, and he was also very protective of his courtiers. You will definitely be happy after you get married to His Highness Seventh Prince. "
Sheng Guoer sneered, "Miss Meng, you are wrong. Men can never be relied upon."
"you……"
"That's enough!" Xiao Yi scolded with a frown, "You all should be quiet."
Meng Qili and Sheng Guoer were silent at the same time.
Xiao Yi turned to look at Sheng Guoer, "I know you are the most profitable person, and I understand the fight between you and the Zhao family. I just hope that there will be no riots in the capital, and you can each take care of yourself."
"Yes." Sheng Guoer lowered his head and promised.
Xiao Yi waved his hand and motioned for her to retreat.
Sheng Guoer bowed and exited the pavilion.
Meng Qili asked eagerly: "Cousin, what do you mean by what you just said? Could it be that Sister Guoer and the Zhao family had a falling out?"
"I didn't say anything." Xiao Yi watched Sheng Guoer leave. He didn't look back until Sheng Guoer completely disappeared from sight.
Meng Qili choked, stamped her feet and complained, "Cousin, you are so bad. You actually played tricks on me."
"How do you want Gu to answer you? Admit that I know the inside story? Or tell you that Gu has already sent someone to investigate the Zhao family's affairs?" Xiao Yi said lightly.
When Meng Qili heard this, she fell silent for a moment.
After a long while, Meng Qili said dullly: "Then when will my cousin tell me?"
"When the time is right, I will tell you naturally." After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he stopped talking to Meng Qili.
Meng Qili didn't dare to bother him when she saw this, so she could only follow Xiao Yi and look around in boredom.
Suddenly, Meng Qili's eyes lit up, she pointed forward and shouted happily: "Cousin, let's go to the garden. I brought many novel flowers and plants here for the palace people to play with."
"Not going."
Xiao Yi refused simply.
Meng Qili was stunned, "Why don't you go? We can go to enjoy the flowers together, or write poems and songs."
Xiao Yi glanced at Meng Qili and said, "Not interested."
"Then cousin, please take a walk with me."
Xiao Yi rejected it cleanly again, "I'm not interested either."
Meng Qili was depressed. She racked her brains to keep Xiao Yi, but it all came to nothing.
At this time, Xiao Yi's personal bodyguard walked into the pavilion.
Xiao Yi looked at the guard and ordered: "Please get Miss Meng out."
The guard took the order and stretched out his hand to block Meng Qili's way.
Meng Qili was shocked and angry, "Cousin, what do you mean?"
"Miss Meng, His Highness Seventh Prince is taking a rest. Please ask Miss Meng not to make any noise."
"Why can't I quarrel with him? He is the prince, I am the princess, I am the same generation as him, and I am the elder. He is resting and I come to visit, who is in the way?"
"His Highness has an order that no one is allowed to disturb him."
"I don't believe in evil!"
Meng Qili pushed away the guards and walked towards Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Meng Qili with a dangerous look, "Meng Qili, if you take another step forward, don't blame me for being rude."
Meng Qili stopped and stared at Xiao Yi stubbornly, "Cousin, just go for a walk with me. Just promise me."
"roll!"
Xiao Yi showed no mercy and uttered one word in a cold voice.
"I won't get out!" Meng Qili stood stubbornly, refusing to move.
Xiao Yi frowned fiercely.
Just when Xiao Yi was about to teach Meng Qili a lesson, Meng Qili suddenly burst into tears, "Ugh... Cousin, you are bullying others, I don't care, you must accompany me for a walk."
"Meng Qili, I will not accompany you to hang out."
"Will you accompany me? If you don't accompany me for a walk, I won't leave. If you don't let me walk, then I will go to His Majesty for judgment." Meng Qili threatened.
Xiao Yi snorted and said sarcastically: "I have never seen a girl who is more unreasonable than you. I am too lazy to pay attention to you. You can go find His Majesty yourself."
"You...you are simply too deceptive."
Meng Qili's cheeks turned red with anger.
"Come here, take Miss Meng out of the palace. Remember to send her to the door of Meng Mansion."
"Yes." Two boys rushed up and grabbed Meng Qili's arms.
"Let me go, let me go. If you dare to pull me, I will call someone."
The two boys did not listen to her warning.
Meng Qili was so angry that tears flowed down her face.
"Cousin, you bullied me."
Meng Qili yelled, struggled, and ran away crying.
"boom."
