Xiuhan came to their tea table, bowed and said a thousand blessings, and said with a smile: "Please madam, our eldest princess happened to pass by here today to see the excitement. I didn't expect that, just sitting there just now, unexpectedly I saw the madam, so I sent a servant, please come over and talk for a while."

Seeing Xiuhan, Princess Yongning was naturally nearby.

This invitation was unexpected to Lu Jinxi, and she was not surprised when she heard it. She just glanced in the direction Xiuhan came from, and she saw a figure half-hidden by the bamboo curtain in the northeast corner.

The meandering woven gold skirt hung down on the ground. From just one corner of the clothes, one can see that noble and condensed aura.

There will be no one else except Princess Yongning.

Lu Jinxi laughed: "That's really a coincidence. The eldest princess has an invitation, but Jin Xi didn't dare to refuse. I'll follow you here to say hello to my aunt."

Saying that, she stood up.

At this moment, Xue Tingzhi, who was sitting at the table, looked up at her.

Lu Jinxi just said to him lightly: "I also ask the eldest son to wait here for a while, and I will be back in a while. If there is any urgent matter, you can ask Xiangzhi to come and find me."

"……Yes."

Xue Tingzhi replied softly, and it seemed that there was no difference.

But only he himself knows, at this moment, how much patience and restraint is consumed by such a barely calm "yes" word!

The knuckles of the slender fingers holding the tea cup were faintly white.

The other hand that was hanging under the table and resting on the lap was already clenched tightly, and it was clenched into a strong fist, as if this was the only way to suppress the surging blood in the heart.

Princess Yongning.

The daughter of the Duan Concubine Ji, the elder sister of the current Qing'an Emperor Xiao Che, the "eldest princess" of Daxia.

Thirteen years ago, he led the imperial army, got through the palace ban, surrounded Kunning Palace, stood with Gu Chengqian, and forced to kill his mother...

Chapter 71

Princess Yongning's mood at the moment is not very good.

She has been busy with some affairs in the court recently, and the queen mother has been ill for a while, and she is serving in the palace, so the news that is not important from outside has not been dealt with.

It wasn't until came out yesterday that found out that General Xue actually spoke and asked Xue Chi to take the examination at the Yuewei Museum!

This surprise is no trivial matter.

What happened this time in Yuewei Pavilion seems to be the signboard of several great scholars, but in fact, there are Gu Juefei's shadow behind it, and also know that Gu Juefei plays a pivotal role in this matter.

Why did General Xue make such a decision for no reason?

After a check, I found out that it was Gu Juefei who came to the door in person and visited Zhuangzi outside the city. I'm afraid that he didn't know what he said to General Xue, which led him to make such a decision.

Others may not think that these two things have anything to do with it, but in Princess Yongning's heart, there is a stormy sea.

At her mansion, Gu Juefei's remarks made her remember it fresh!

It's not enough to kill Xue Kuang, he also threatened to marry someone's widow, and now he's reaching out to someone's son!

This Gu Juefei, God knows what evil is hiding!

Even though they have known each other for so long, there has never been a time when Princess Yongning couldn't see so clearly. She had absolutely no idea how Gu Juefei's brain grew, let alone what he was thinking.

"Niece-niece greets my aunt."

That light voice sounded in front of him.

Princess Yongning was leaning on the chair, resting on the armrest with her left elbow, and pointing at her temple with her finger, when she heard the sound, she raised her head and saw Lu Jinxi.

This niece, I'm afraid she still doesn't know who she is staring at.

She has exquisite makeup on her face, and even more delicate facial features than makeup. She has always been one of the top-ranked people in the capital. Even though the years have passed, she has not left any traces on her body. Instead, she seems to be getting younger and younger. .

Beneath the gentle eyes, there always seems to be kindness hidden.

Ugh.

As soon as Princess Yongning saw it, she sighed in her heart, feeling extremely troublesome, and said, "No need to be more polite, just sit down. I heard that there was a lively scene here, and Gu Juefei was tinkering, so I came over to have a look. It took me a while to remember that you are here too. I heard that Brother Chi also participated, how is it? "

The maid came forward and helped Lu Jinxi open the chair, and Lu Jinxi sat next to Princess Yongning as she said.

She hadn't seen Princess Yongning for a while.

Looking at it today, it is still the same temperament of Huang Guizhou that day, her eyes are majestic, and some fine lines at the corners of her eyes add a bit of charm to her, but there is something wrong with her expression.

But Lu Jinxi couldn't say what was wrong.

She only replied: "I'm afraid you don't believe it when you say it, and he doesn't know where he is lucky. He came to take the test, and he passed the first round and entered the second round. The gentlemen came to look for it, and they seemed to think that he had a good answer in the second round. But now everyone else has come out, and he is the only one who has not. My niece has already asked someone to go down and ask."

At that moment, Princess Yongning's heart suddenly jumped.

She didn't even pay attention to what Lu Jinxi said about Xue Chi. She frowned slightly and asked, "The gentleman from Yuewei Museum came to see you? Who?"

This sentence, in Lu Jinxi's remarks just now, was just a single sentence, and it was very vague.

Generally speaking, even Princess Yongning might not notice it.

But she just noticed, and even asked a strange question - who?

Lu Jinxi's feeling that something was wrong in her heart became stronger, but she answered the question with a natural look on her face.

"It's the eldest son of Gu from the Grand Master's Mansion. It seems that the first question that Brother Chi answered was written by him. He looked at Brother Chi's answer when he was marking the papers, and he seemed to like it, so he asked me a few words. I heard that Auntie is familiar with him, do you think Brother Chi can be a teacher?"

When it comes to the second half, she has already added a little anxiety and a little cautiousness in her eyes. No matter who sees it, I am afraid that she will not doubt the expectation she has for her child as a mother.

No flaws.

Princess Yongning has always been sympathetic and sympathetic to her, and has never doubted her.

Now that I see it, I only think that it is Gu Juefei who is so abhorrent in every possible way. This is trying to abduct her niece! Looking at the answer sheet where you need to see Xue Chi's mother, I'm afraid she is selling dog meat with a sheep's head.

As for what kind of abacus he was playing, can the battle-hardened Princess Yongning know?

She hated her teeth so much that she couldn't help but press her temple fingers for two minutes, barely able to maintain her composure: "Although Ben Gong is on good terms with Gu Juefei, he doesn't know him the best. But since he seems to like the answer sheet very much, It certainly won't let your hope be in vain. But how do you feel when you see Gu Juefei this time? "

how do you feel?

Lu Jinxi felt that this was a very strange question in her heart. She thought of the friendship between Princess Yongning and Gu Juefei, and of course she also remembered what Princess Yongning had said about Gu Juefei...

After some deliberation, she looked at Princess Yongning and said, "Eldest Young Master Gu didn't say a word to his niece, but he felt that his manner of speaking was the same as what was said in the market. My niece thought that he should be a well-known man. Really talented. As for the others, such as those mentioned by my aunt, my niece... I can't tell."

"Thank you for not forgetting what Ben Gong said at that time. If Gu Juefei can be seen through by you, it is not him; if you can see through Gu Juefei, it is not you."

When Princess Yongning heard her words, she couldn't help laughing and sighed again.

"Bengong remembered that I was acquainted with Xue Kuang back then, so I would like to remind you a few words: Even if Gu Juefei really becomes Brother Chi's husband in the future, you have to beware of him. He is not a good person."
