Chapter 70
Gu Yunxi hid in the house to recuperate, and her wedding ceremony was also in full swing.

The day of Frost's Descent is Gu Yunxi's birthday ceremony.

Before Gu Yunxi opened her eyes, she heard the bustling noise outside the courtyard.

"What time is it?" Gu Yunxi asked with one hand flicking open the bed curtain.

"Miss is awake."

Hongzao pushed the door open and walked in, lit the candle lamp on the table and said:
"It's Yin time, it's time for the young lady to get up."

"Ah."

When Gu Yunxi got up, a group of maids lined up and walked in, carrying wooden barrels, ready to wait for her to bathe and change clothes.

Gu Yunxi didn't sleep well in the first place, but now she was leaning on the tub with her eyes closed, drowsy.

When Mrs. Liu came, Gu Yunxi was sitting in front of the dowry, letting the maid behind her wipe her wet hair.

"Miss, Mrs. Liu is today's lucky wife, here to help Miss comb her hair."

Hongzao whispered in Gu Yunxi's ear.

Mrs. Liu?Gu Yunxi's drowsiness disappeared for the most part in an instant.

She opened her eyes and saw that Mrs. Liu was standing behind her.

Quietly looking at Gu Yunxi in the mirror with loving eyes.

"It's still early, madam, sit down for a while." Gu Yunxi walked up to Madam Liu and said.

Today's cold air is a bit heavy, Gu Yunxi saw that Mrs. Liu didn't even hold a hand stove, so she held Mrs. Liu's hands with some worry.

Feeling the coldness of her fingertips, Gu Yunxi frowned slightly and said:

"Longan, bring me a hand stove."

"No problem." Mrs. Liu stopped her and said, "If it's not cold in the room, the hand stove won't be used."

"The lady is sitting and drinking a cup of hot tea." Longan said, "It can also warm your hands."

"I'll just have a cup of hot tea. Go and do your work." Mrs. Liu patted Gu Yunxi's hand and said.

Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Yunxi didn't refuse.

She told Longan to take good care of Mrs. Liu, and then went back to sit down in front of the dowry.

Madam Liu looked at Gu Yunxi's figure while drinking tea.

There was a touch of longing and a slight smile in his eyes.

Half an hour later, the maids helped Gu Yunxi put on her makeup, and the next step was to comb her hair.

"Where is the hairpin prepared by the old lady?" Hong Zao asked the little maid beside her.

Before the little maid opened her mouth, Madam Liu said, "You don't need to look for it, just use this."

The maid behind Mrs. Liu heard the words and took out a delicate wooden box.

Madam Liu opened it, and there was a golden hairpin inside.

A red-eyed golden phoenix stands on the head of the hairpin, with a faint red tail, like a fire phoenix reborn from the ashes.

Gu Yunxi looked at the hairpin in the wooden box, she knew that Mrs. Liu already knew her true identity.

Because this hairpin was prepared for her by concubine Jiji when she was still Princess Chaoyun.

The golden hairpin is a very important step in the ceremony of Anguo Jiji.

This golden hairpin was also put on by Madam Liu for her back then.

"That's it."

Gu Yunxi picked up the golden hairpin in the box and handed it to Mrs. Liu.

"Mrs. hard work."

Said the same as before.

Mrs. Liu finished pulling Gu Yunxi's hair, and looked at the beauty with bright eyes and bright teeth in the mirror.

With a smile on his face, Yan Yan said softly, "You don't have to cry this time."

Gu Yunxi's bright eyes moved slightly, recalling the scene when she was married to Ji.

At that time, she had already divorced Shen Zhi, and Shen Zhi had also left the capital a month ago.

Back then, she was afraid that Shen Zhi would forget her wedding ceremony, so the wedding ceremony was held extremely grandly.

Preparations started more than half a month in advance.

She thought that if Shen Zhi knew that he would definitely come, he would at least give her a gift as a token of his affection.

She waited for a long time full of hope, until the day of Jiji, Shen Zhi did not show up.

When Mrs. Liu inserted the golden hairpin into her hair, she had already burst into tears and couldn't make a sound.

It was also at that moment that she woke up. It turned out that Shen Zhi had really left and might never come back.

"It's all over." Mrs. Liu comforted Gu Yunxi by stroking Gu Yunxi's shoulder.

"Yes, everything is over."

Gu Yunxi looked at herself in the mirror and smiled a little, everything has changed.

"Miss, Qiu's mother is here to invite you."

Jujube's voice brought back Gu Yunxi's thoughts.

"Mother Qiu, please come in." Gu Yunxi ordered.

"Hello, Mrs. Liu, and Second Miss." Qiu's mother saluted.

"Second Miss, are you ready? The time is coming, the old lady asked the servants to come and ask." Qiu's mother said.

"It's ready." Gu Yunxi supported the red dates, and stood up slowly, "Mother Laoqiu, please run."

"Second Young Miss offends slaves, it's what slaves should do."

A look of amazement flashed in Qiu's mother's eyes.

The woman in front of her has a bun and her temples exposed, her eyebrows are drawn down, and she is wearing a green satin skirt, with a very outstanding demeanor.

Qiu's mother didn't expect that the second lady's temperament changed so much in just a few months.

It is said that she is the princess raised by the princess in the palace, I am afraid no one will doubt it.

Gu Yunxi followed Qiu's mother to the front hall, and there were quite a few people watching the ceremony.

Originally, the old lady didn't intend to hold such a grand event, so she only sent posts to some houses with close contacts.

But today, many people came to offer presents one after another. It was supposed to be a happy event, and the Shang Shufu naturally couldn't refuse.

Gu Yunxi's eyes fell on Shen Zhi who was beside Lin Pingkang.

The originally slightly pursed mouth corners evoked a faint smile.

Shen Zhi's cold eyebrows softened instantly the moment Gu Yunxi appeared.

The light in his eyes also became softer.

Xue Shi'an, who came to watch the ceremony, stood behind Mrs. Xue.

Watching this scene, the hands in the sleeves clenched into fists.

Although she has a good impression of the second lady of the Shangshu Mansion.

But it doesn't mean that she will accept that this Second Miss Lin can take the place of Sister Chaoyun and stay beside Brother Shen.

Xue Shi'an glanced at Shen Zhi indignantly, his sharp eyes seemed to be looking at a heartbroken man.

When the hour came, the elders of the Lin family shouted: Li-zhi-

Afterwards, the music played, and Gu Yunxi, supported by longan, bowed to Lin Pingkang and the eldest lady.

During the banquet, many people had heard about the fact that Second Miss Lin made a big splash at the regent's concubine selection banquet.

But it was the first time seeing a real person, so I couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the regent wanted to choose a concubine as his concubine.

Just based on the beauty of Second Miss Lin, it's hard not to be tempted.

The Jiji ceremony was going on normally, and Mrs. Wufu was using a special paint to decorate Gu Yunxi's eyebrows.

Bright peonies bloom between her eyebrows, adding a touch of elegance to her.

Everyone present felt very pleasing to the eye.

In the crowd, Qiu Ju hurriedly walked to the side of the old lady, and said anxiously:
"Old lady, the second master is back! He's coming this way now."

There was a hint of joy on the face of the old lady, and then it disappeared in an instant:

"Stop him and let him go back to his yard first."

The old lady's face was serious, and the second child didn't even deliver a letter to the mansion this time when he returned to Beijing, I'm afraid that things will not be simple.

And not recalling Beijing is a serious crime!

Without finding out the reason, the old lady would not let the second master appear in front of everyone.

"I'm afraid I can't stop it."

As soon as Qiu's mother finished speaking, a man in a dark blue shirt came in a hurry.
