Chu You originally wanted to say no, he didn't pay attention to a mere woman at all, but when the words came to his lips, his heart moved, and he felt that the silhouette he saw through the gap in the bamboo curtain seemed a bit familiar.

He also raised his head again and cast his sharp gaze on the hazy and soft profile of the window.

The girl behind Xiang Fei's bamboo curtain suddenly leaned forward and raised her hand to lower the half-lifted bamboo curtain.

This action exposed the side of her face from behind the bamboo curtain, and was clearly reflected in Chu You's eyes below.

It's her! Chu You's eyes suddenly widened, unable to conceal his shock.

"Your Highness, do you recognize this girl?" Yuan Zhe saw something strange in Chu You's expression.

Chu You: "..."

This is……

Why is she with Chu Yi?!

The things that happened in Prince Jing's Mansion are still fresh in Chu You's memory.

Originally, he could ask his mother to marry him and Zhuer, but Gu Yanfei ruined it.

Chu You subconsciously clenched his fists, his joints creaked, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Gu Yanfei is a country woman who has just arrived. How did these two completely different people get together?!

This feeling of uncertainty made Chu You very disgusted, as if something was beyond his control.

Chu You's eyes were cloudy and uncertain, and the falling bamboo curtain was like a door closing in front of him and Yuan Zhe.

The bamboo curtain blocked the direct sunlight from outside the window. Gu Yanfei felt much more comfortable in the elegant seat and adjusted her sitting posture to a leisurely position.

The shopkeeper carefully placed seven or eight wine bottles and a few small plates on the table, bowed and said with a smile: "This is the wine the girl ordered, please use it as you please."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he quickly exited the booth.

In the elegant seats, the aroma of various wines overflowed, blending into an intoxicating smell.

Gu Yanfei looked at the table full of drinks that he had just ordered, rolled up his sleeves with a slightly arched eyebrow, and then skillfully mixed the rice wine, honey water, rose syrup, etc. together, shook the wine pot gently, and finally poured the wine Sprinkle some finely chopped rose petals into the liquid, and this series of movements is like flowing water, elegant and smooth.

She poured two glasses of wine from the jug, one for herself and the other to Chu Yi. She said with a smile: "Try it. It's an apology for my Qingguang. I cut his nails when I went back that day."

She pointed at Chu Yi's cuffs, referring to the time Qingguang scratched his cuffs last time.

"..." Chu Yi could almost imagine the expression on the calico cat's face when it had its nails clipped, so horrified that it doubted the cat's life, and chuckled.

His laughter was very sweet, like a stream passing through a stream in summer, gently rubbing one's eardrums and making one's ear tips itch.

Chu Yi raised his hand to take the wine glass, pressed his thin lips to the rim of the glass and took a sip, savoring it carefully. His pleasant smile warmed his originally cold eyebrows.

He drank slowly, as if he was sipping tea. On the contrary, Gu Yanfei was very careless and drank it all in one gulp.

Putting down the empty glass, she started to mix the second wine.

This time, she also shared a cup with Chu Yi and asked him with a smile: "Chu Yi, do you know Murong Yong?"

Gu Yanfei asked quite directly and was not polite to Chu Yi at all.

Chu Yi's slender fingers slowly turned the wine glass.

He had heard of the name "Murong Yong". Murong Yong had just returned to Beijing from Qingzhou recently and was in the limelight, so his father also mentioned it to him.

Chu Yi pondered and said: "Murong Yong serves in the Three Thousand Battalion and is a fifth-grade knight. He went to Qingzhou to suppress the bandits and made his first contribution. He should be promoted in the near future."

Chu Yi didn't know much about Murong Yong. After all, Murong Yong was only a fifth-grade military attache. Even if he was about to be promoted to fourth-grade military officer, he was still not a big shot in the court, and he was not even qualified to attend the early court.

However, no matter how little Chu Yi knew, it was still much more detailed than what Gu Yanfei knew.

Gu Yanfei listened carefully and drank his drink absently...

Since the Murong family did not regret their marriage because of Gu Yunzhen's disfigurement in the previous life, there should be no problem with Murong Yong's character.

However, the "Qi" in Gu Yunchun's body suddenly had the momentum to make a comeback. What happened?

Full of doubts, Gu Yanfei left Qiongfangzhai after burning a stick of incense.

It was a rare occasion for her to go out, so she did not go back to the Hou Mansion immediately and wandered along Zhenhua Street.

In her last life, although she lived in the capital for several years, she almost never left the Marquis's residence.

She had the money she had just won from the polo match. She shopped and bought along the way. In addition to buying some snacks, sachets, and silk flowers, she also bought some cinnabar, talismans, silver needles, and medicinal materials before slowly embarking on the journey.

Return journey.

By the time she returned to Dingyuan Hou Mansion, it was almost dusk.

The sun sets in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun burns the flowing clouds in the sky, dyeing it into a colorful sunset glow.

The evening wind whistled, and the sycamore leaves on both sides of the street had fallen off in the continuous drizzle over the past few days, leaving only the barren branches stretching towards the sky.

After entering the Hou Mansion through the corner gate, Gu Yanfei saw a carriage with two horses, green cover and eight treasures tassels parked at the outer gate.

Gu Yanfei couldn't help but pause, and her eyes paused for a moment on the gorgeous carriage in front of her.

This was the carriage of a British princess, she had seen it in her previous life.

Gu Yanfei didn't say anything. The concierge next to her noticed her gaze and said with a smile: "Second girl, the British princess arrived half an hour ago."

The woman's eyes were shining, and there was a strange excitement in her expression.

Gu Yanfei walked forward in the cool evening breeze, and the fine broken leaves and flowers blew towards his face.

Gu Yanfei is no stranger to British princesses.

In her previous life, after she returned to the capital, she and Mrs. Wang visited the British Duke's mansion. She still remembered that the British Duke-in-law was picky about her in every possible way, and the contemptuous look in her eyes was like a needle pricking her body.

At that time, the British princess-in-law had almost no serious words to Gu Yanfei. All she said was to Wang, and she was full of sarcasm and ridicule:

For a while, they said that Gu Yanfei was a country girl whose words and deeds were not worthy of publicity;

He said for a while that he didn’t know what Gu Yanfei had experienced in the past fourteen years;

After a while, he said that Gu Yanfei was not good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and could not read Chinese characters. How would he be able to manage his family and rule his subordinates in the future?

…

The other party's words made Gu Yanfei feel so ashamed that he really wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl in.

The past events clearly appeared in her mind again, flashing by like a revolving lantern.

"Second Miss!" A slightly excited female voice came from the other side of the outer door, which also called Gu Yanfei out of her thoughts.

The woman behind her slapped her thigh and said, "Miss Qingshuang has been waiting for you for a long time."

While they were talking, a beautiful maid in Tsing Yi came towards Gu Yanfei from the outer gate, knelt down and said blessing: "Second Miss, Madam, please come over here."

Gu Yanfei stopped and looked again at the extremely luxurious carriage a few feet away. The sunset cast a layer of magnificent colors on the carriage.

The British Crown Prince is very popular in the court, and his status now far exceeds that of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, which has been in decline. It is obvious that the temporary replacement was caused by the Marquis Mansion's fault. It is obvious that they do not like her at all. In the last life, why did they hold their noses and accept the decision?

marriage!

It wasn't until half a year later that the Fang family casually found an excuse to break off the engagement on the grounds that she had been in a car with a man in Danyang City.
Chapter completed!
