Chapter 3 Returning to the Palace
The news that the prime minister's son was beheaded by the king regent in the palace was widely spread.

Many teahouses also specially invited writers to talk about the love and hatred of Princess Chaoyun, the regent, and the prime minister.

"The current regent Shen knows that it is the only blood of the brave general who died in battle 11 years ago.

The first emperor thought that he was lonely and helpless, so he named his father Marquis Wu'an, and even married his most beloved Princess Chaoyun to him.

The regent was only 14 years old that year, and Princess Chaoyun was only ten years old, and they were childhood sweethearts when they grew up together. "

"Even if she was a childhood sweetheart, why did the princess retire and marry the prime minister's son?"

In the teahouse, groups of three and four gathered around a table, listening with gusto, and some listeners couldn't help but ask.

The storyteller shook the fan in his hand, "What is this guest officer in a hurry for? Let me speak slowly.

The change of this matter happened five years ago at the eldest princess's birthday banquet. Princess Chaoyun followed the emperor's order to celebrate her own aunt's birthday.Unexpectedly, during the banquet, I met Yao Tong, the handsome son of the prime minister, who was a handsome talent.The two fell in love at first sight."

"It is said that Princess Chaoyun gave birth to a closed moon shame flower. I don't know if it is true?" Some audience members booed and laughed.

The storyteller smiled and nodded, "It's not an exaggeration to say that the country is beautiful, and she is proficient in riding and shooting, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. No one in Anguo can match her demeanor."

There is a table by the window in the southwest corner of the teahouse. Two women are sitting next to each other. One of the women in Tsing Yi said with emotion:

"I didn't expect such a strange woman to die young."

"Water overflows when it is full, and when the moon is full, it loses. The same is true for people. It's a pity that Princess Chaoyun doesn't understand this truth."

The woman at the same table covered her face with tulle, a fringed trousers swayed slightly on her temples, and said in a cold voice.

"The servant girl just feels sorry that the talented and the beautiful are separated from each other."

"How can you believe the words of the market? Princess Chaoyun's marriage to Yao Tong is just forced by the situation and a last resort. How can there be a saying that the two love each other?"

"Miss, how could she know, and she's bluffing people here again." The maid in Tsing Yi had a look of disbelief.

The woman smiled lightly, her eyes were dimmed, because she was the princess Chaoyun who was supposed to die, Gu Yunxi.When she opened her eyes three months ago, she became the unfavored second lady of the Shangshu Mansion, Lin Xi.

Lin Xi's birth mother passed away early, and he and his old lady worshiped Buddha in the temple for seven years, and only returned to Kyoto today.

At the eldest princess's birthday banquet, he and Yao Tong were lying on the same bed in disheveled clothes, and they were smashed by everyone on the spot.

For the sake of her reputation, the Eldest Princess immediately ordered no one to discuss this matter, and if she disobeyed, she would be killed.

Even so, she could not marry Shen Zhi again.Shen Zhi is capable of both civil and military skills, outstanding in everything, in her heart it is like the finest white jade, cold and warm.

She couldn't and didn't want to be the only stain around him, making him ridiculed by the world.

I can only personally ask my father to withdraw the engagement, and I can also leave myself with the last trace of decency in his heart.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunxi suppressed the bitterness in her heart, put down the cup in her hand and said, "Go home."

As soon as he walked out of the teahouse, he saw a carriage pulled by two thousand-mile horses. The body was made of black nanmu, with carved beams and painted buildings. It was either rich or expensive at first glance.

"Hurry up and get out of the way, it's the regent's carriage, don't you want to die?" A man in front of him said, holding back the person who was traveling with him.

Gu Yunxi paused slightly, looked up at the galloping carriage, Feng blew the curtain.The moment she looked up, she saw the familiar profile in her memory.

Her whole body seemed to be immobilized by a spell, and she couldn't move an inch.Emotions surged in her eyes until the carriage galloped by and disappeared from her sight.

I haven't seen him for five years, but after just one glance, Gu Yunxi found that he had changed, and his whole body was full of loneliness and coldness.

Then she showed a wry smile again, so she didn't change.Even this body is not her own.

Even if she stood in front of him now, he wouldn't be able to recognize her!
As soon as the master and servant walked to the main entrance of Shangshu Mansion, they saw Qiu Ju beside the old lady waiting in front of the mansion, seeing Gu Yunxi with a look of joy:
"Second miss, you are back. The old lady asked me to wait at the front door early in the morning."

While walking, Qiu Ju said, when she suddenly saw the second lady stop, and following her gaze, it was the eldest lady who was playing chess with others in the garden.

"Second miss, that's the eldest miss and the concubine of the prime minister's mansion." Qiu Ju thought that the second miss should not have known each other for seven years away, so she explained.

"Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Qiu Ju continued: "Missy and Miss Yao from the prime minister's mansion are handkerchiefs, and they communicate a lot on weekdays.

The lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion is like a fairy, not only gentle and kind, but also outstanding in learning.It can be said that everything is outstanding.

After Jiji, the people who came to propose marriage almost broke through the threshold of the prime minister's mansion. "

The fingers in Gu Yunxi's sleeves tightened slightly, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she praised: "You really deserve to be the lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

At this time, a beautiful female voice came from a distance: "Where is who? Get out, sneaky."

Gu Yunxi looked up, and saw two women walking hand in hand, one of them was a beautifully dressed woman, pointing her finger at herself from afar.

"Second Miss, this is Third Miss, and the one next to her is Fourth Miss." Qiu Ju explained in her ear.

Gu Yunxi showed an innocent smile and walked to the crowd: "So it's Sister Yao, Big Sister, Third Sister, and Fourth Sister. I'm so dumbfounded from afar."

Fourth Miss Lin Yanwan smiled kindly and nodded after hearing the words.

Eldest sister Lin Yiyao paid no attention to it, and frowned slightly, as if she was unhappy that Gu Yunxi interrupted her chess game.

On the contrary, Yao Yurou, the prime minister's daughter, looked at her and her face instantly turned pale, and her eyes were even more terrified, as if she had seen a ghost.But after a while, she calmed down again, as if everything was just her illusion.

The third miss, Lin Ansheng, had a look of disdain, and looked up and down at the seven-year-old second sister who had left home.

I saw that her skin was more than snow, and her jet-black hair was pulled into a simple bun, with a phoenix tail hairpin inserted diagonally.

Curved willow-leaf eyebrows, water-like eyes, red lips and bright teeth.Even without makeup, she compares herself.

Immediately dissatisfied in his heart: "So it's the second sister, I thought some unruly maid was hiding secretly."

Gu Yunxi sneered in her heart, but she smiled shyly and embarrassingly on her face: "I made the third sister laugh. I saw that the elder sister was playing chess with sister Yao, so I didn't dare to disturb you. I just returned home today and I haven't gone to greet my grandmother. Take your leave first."

Lin Ansheng originally thought that the second sister Gu Yunxi was a soft persimmon who could be manipulated by others, but she didn't expect to dare to insinuate that she didn't understand the rules and disturb the elder sister's chess game.

Immediately said angrily: "Stop! The second sister has stayed in the temple for several years, how can she forget all the rules in the mansion, the eldest sister hasn't said you can leave yet."

Although the Second Miss, the Third Miss and the Fourth Miss are all concubines, but the Third Miss Lin Ansheng was raised by the eldest lady since she was a child, and she feels superior to others.

Now that she has just returned home with the old lady from the temple, she naturally wants to seize this opportunity to stand up and trample herself under her feet.
