Chapter 32

Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen were led to a table by the window by the maid of Prince Jing's mansion. On the table were several plates of melon and fruit snacks, and a plum vase with a few green chrysanthemums.

When the wind blows, a faint, elegant fragrance of chrysanthemum lingers in the water pavilion.

After the two sisters sat down, Gu Yanfei dismissed the maid and personally poured two cups of tea, one for herself and the other for Gu Yunzhen.

Gu Yunzhen took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Princess Changqing, two men and a woman who had just arrived at the water pavilion were greeting and saluting with Changqing, the girl in blue was holding Gu Yunxie's arm affectionately, chatting and laughing .

"That's the eldest girl and the fourth son of General Li's mansion, and the other younger son looks a little strange, so he shouldn't be the son of the Li family." Gu Yunzhen told Gu Yanfei in a low voice, "Miss Li and the third younger sister are from the boudoir. close friend."

Gu Yunzhen has always been considerate, and introduced to Gu Yanfei some noble ladies and young masters present, the girl who took a pink chrysanthemum from a vase to play with is the third girl from Chang'anbo Mansion, and the girl in pink clothes is the ninth girl from Prince Yu's Mansion , and the young man in brocade clothes who just arrived outside the door is Chu Junhao, the third son of Prince Jing's mansion...

The water pavilion was full of laughter and chatter, some were chatting, some were toasting and drinking together, some were playing shooting...the scene was very lively.

After talking with Princess Changqing for a while, Gu Yunxie followed another maid and walked towards Gu Yanfei and the others, holding a finger-wide red forehead wipe in her hand.

The maids of the palace are distributing forehead wipes. Today's polo match is headed by brother and sister Chu Junhao and Princess Changqing. They are divided into two teams, with red and blue forehead wipes as team logos.

Everyone who will be on stage in a while is full of spirits, gearing up to show off their skills.

"Second sister, it's almost time to start, do you want to go up and try?" Gu Yunxiu stopped at the table, looked at Gu Yanfei with a bright smile, and clear eyes.

Mrs. Gu asked her to take Gu Yanfei with her yesterday, but Gu Yunxie agreed without saying a word.

Since Gu Yanfei has returned to the Gu family, it means that sooner or later she will enter the circle of noble ladies, and more importantly, Fang Mingfeng will also come today.

Thinking of Fang Mingfeng, Gu Yunxie's eyelashes trembled.

Gu and Fang are family friends.

The eldest daughter of the Gu family married Fang Mingfeng.

However, Gu Yanfei seemed to have misunderstood Fang Mingfeng, and was very resistant to this marriage, so he had to create a chance for them to meet.

When the two of them successfully got married, he would not owe Gu Yanfei any more, and the relationship between them was settled.

Gu Yanfei lowered her eyes halfway, drinking her tea gracefully, smiling without saying a word.

Seeing this, Gu Yunzhen thought she didn't know how to play polo, so he smiled and smoothed things over: "Second sister, sit with me and let's watch them play."

Gu Yunxie thought the same way, so she didn't have to force others to make things difficult. She thought to herself: Wait for Fang Mingfeng to come, and she will just bring him here.

The smile on her face became brighter, and she said again: "The princess set up a game today, and also set up a lottery. Those who don't end can place a bet."

"I will definitely win." Gu Yunxie's eyes were shining brightly, revealing his confidence.

Gu Yunzhen laughed "puchi", and was about to speak, when the princess Changqing's brisk calling came from not far away: "Yun Wei, I'm missing you."

Gu Yunxie who had just sat down said "excuse me", then hurried away again, followed Changqing and others out of the water pavilion.

Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen still stayed at the table by the window, drinking tea, eating snacks, and admiring the lake view.

On the east side of the water pavilion is the lake, and on the west side is a vast and flat polo field with a length and width of 300 paces. There are colorful flags on the edge of the field as boundaries, and several bamboo sheds have been built as stands.

One person and one horse stood under the bamboo shed in the middle.

Fang Mingfeng, who was dressed in a sky blue Hu suit with lapels, stood leisurely while leading a snow-white horse. His skin was fair and his facial features were handsome. When he met Gu Yunxie's eyes, his eyes became as gentle as spring water.

"Yun Wei," he bowed his hands in a polite manner, showing the nobleness of the prince in his gestures, and greeted with concern, "I heard that sister She said that you were unwell a few days ago, are you feeling better?"

Fang Mingfeng looked Gu Yunxie up and down, the silk sash wrapped around her waist made her slender waist soft and easy to break, I haven't seen her for half a month, she has lost a lot of weight...

"Occasionally it's cold, just drink ginger soup for two days and you'll be fine, it's okay." Gu Yunmai smiled generously.

"..." Fang Mingfeng pursed his thin lips, hesitant to speak. It was obvious why she was thin and ill.

After gossiping for a few words, Gu Yunxie pointed to the Zhuoxin Water Pavilion a few feet away, and changed the subject: "My second sister is here too, and she's just sitting there."

The autumn wind blows from the surface of the lake, blowing layers of veils outside the water pavilion. Through the flying veils, two young girls can be vaguely seen sitting by the window, one with his back to him, and the other exposing a delicate and beautiful Profile.

Gu Yunxie winked playfully at Fang Mingfeng, then lowered her voice and whispered: "My second sister is a rare beauty."

She had a bright smile, and there was a bit of ridicule in her tone that only acquaintances could have.

"..." Fang Mingfeng's face froze, he looked at Gu Yanfei's profile from a distance, and remembered the scene when he met him at the gate of Danyang City.

During this time, the events of that day have been haunting him like a shadow, like a leech.

Fang Mingfeng couldn't help being a little irritable, his eyes darkened three points, and a thought came to his mind:

If only she died in Danyang City!

If Gu Yanfei died in Danyang City, no one in the capital would know of her existence, and Gu Yunxie would still be the second girl of the Gu family who was betrothed to him...

This is all Gu Yanfei's fault! Why is she still alive!

A trace of secret sadness and resentment slowly floated in Fang Mingfeng's deep eyes.

Chang Qing, who was sitting across the table, faintly heard Gu Yunxie's words, and asked casually, "Yunxiu, is this your distant cousin?"

She knew that Gu Yanfei had nothing to do with Gu Yanfei from "cloud" in this generation, probably a side branch.

Gu Yunxie's eyelashes trembled, and the smile on his face was a little forced.

The relationship between her and Gu Yanfei is too complicated to explain clearly in a few words, and...

"This is my cousin." Gu Yunxie said vaguely, and then said, "My second sister has..."

Gu Yunxi wanted to say that Gu Yanfei and Fang Mingfeng had a marriage contract, and couldn't wait to make this matter public.

However, after only saying a few words, he was interrupted impatiently by Fang Mingfeng next to him:

"It's almost time to end, let's discuss how to fight for a while."

"Princess, your third brother is good at defense, so he should be in charge of this position; the third son Wang and the fourth son Wang have a good understanding, they must be double forwards; Anle county master can defend as well as attack, and he plays polo well, it's a pity that she This horse is a new horse, unruly..."

Gu Yunxie knew that he was deliberately changing the subject, so she sighed secretly.

At this time, she felt a scorching gaze from behind her looking at her, turned around, and a familiar figure came into view not far away, and her body froze immediately.
