In the blink of an eye, the heavy sun was approaching, and Gu Yun had already left for more than two months. After the summer day, Xie Jingxi once again had the leisure to lie under the grape arbors built in the courtyard.

Ming Yu squatted on the ground and teased Xie Bakuai, while eating the orange meat and feeding the tangerine peel to Xie Bajie, she laughed complacently, "Girl, I feel that this year's tangerine was especially sweet. I think the tangerine peel is also very sweet, let's have a bite first, so that you don't have to eat the meat all day and become as fat as a pig."

Xie Bakuai also felt that this girl was extremely stupid. She had a good temper and couldn't bite off her finger in one bite.

A few days ago, Xie Jingxi found the time to visit the manor and conveniently carried Xie Bakuai back. Ming Yu finally found a playmate to tease and challenge the bottom line of Xie Ba's temper, but she was not embarrassed by it, "How did it know that orange peel can't be eaten, it's really not stupid at all?"

Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?

The Gu family's eldest young master had a wide range of businesses, and every season, he would send over a few specialties from various places. The honey oranges were sent over for him two days, and were indeed somewhat better than what he had eaten previously, so he guessed that it was probably because of Gu Yun's special instructions. Since he was still in the mood to send over the oranges, it should be good, but he reckoned that he would be back in a month or two.

Xie Jingxi and the Lady Zeng were all invited to the palace. In addition, and the other young mistresses from the aristocratic families had also come, so they came to Xie Jingxi's room early in the morning to find clothes to wear.

Quick, good Ming Yu, find me a few sets of clothes of your girls. I don't even have any clothes on.

Gu Wan was wearing men's clothes all year round, so she didn't really care about these girls' things. She only had two or three sets of clothes to take out, and her jewelry was pitifully few as well.

Xie Jingxi said to Ming Yu: "Go and take the set of bright red clothes that I've just made. Wan'er, on the other hand, is even more suitable for this color than me.

"Jingwan, you're too good!" Gu Wan immediately threw herself over, and almost threw Xie Jingxi to the ground, "If I were a man, I would also marry a wife like you."

Xie Jingxi shivered, "Stay away from me …"

Gu Wan smiled mischievously as she changed into a new set of clothes. In the blink of an eye, she seemed to have changed into a different person. When Xie Jingxi looked at her coldly, she immediately felt that her Wan'er was also a beauty.

"So I'm actually this good-looking!" Gu Wan looked at herself in the mirror, the beauty was hard to understand, "It's just that my head is a bit heavy, but it's rare to see a beauty, so I endured it."

Xie Jingxi thought, I can't give it to you if I don't.

Fang Dai snickered from behind, she knew what her wife was thinking, but it was true that it was a pretty sight, the key point was that it was hard to come by beads, since Xie Jingxi had never worn it before, so leaving it behind was a pity, it was suitable for Gu Wan.

The things that Xie Jingxi gave out were not ordinary goods, once shshewas dressed, not only did she cause a stir in the capital, he also became the leader of a flock of chickens. On the way to the palace, many ladies surrounded him and asked around, Gu Wan had never been attacked because of her clothes before, so she was not used to it.

"Is this a new appearance that was coincidentally spun out? It's really pretty, and this face is made by someone else. It really matches the color of this body."

"That's right, it's rare to see the Gu family's third mother dress up. She was born pretty, but this is even more amazing. Today, standing in front of her, we've even lost our luster."

Gu Wan said. "How would I know about this, it was all given to me by my sister-in-law. Hurry up and stop laughing at me, I don't even know how to walk."

"Haha …" Gu Wan made them all burst out laughing.

"Such harmony between sister-in-law and sister-in-law is really enviable." Zheng Peiru was saying this to Xie Jingxi, so she nodded to Xie Jingxi in a familiar manner.

Xie Jingxi replied politely: "It's Wan'er who is likeable."

Imperial Noble Consort Shen saw it and said it straightforwardly, "Is this our Gu Sanniang? I didn't even recognize her when she was walking all the way here, and even said that a beautiful lady from another house was like this. Come over and let me have a look."

Recently, Second Prince's popularity had risen greatly, and now it was the age of marriage again. However, whenever Imperial Noble Consort Shen looked at any young lady twice, they would be discussed for a long time in private, and because of what they said about Zhang Yushi, news of her marrying to Second Prince spread out in a few days, otherwise, Zhang Yushi would not be able to be so arrogant, and would only wish to use her nose to look at others.

Today, the Imperial Noble Consort Shen grabbed onto Gu Wan again because they felt that it was rare, but they couldn't help but start to ponder, saying that the age of the Third Miss s in the Marquis Anfeng Palace was appropriate, their family background was worthy of a prince's wife in the future, and they seemed to be more suitable than the girls in Zhang Family.

Looking at it with cold eyes, she thought to herself, what kind of girl is better than her? Furthermore, the Marquis Anfeng had just offended her, so she was just being polite, how could she really take a fancy to the Gu family's third mother?

Xie Jingxi felt that the Imperial Noble Consort Shen did not seem to be putting on an act. On the other hand, he could not see through the situation on the side, but she did not look directly at Gu Wan. Xie Jingxi muttered in her heart, the two Shen Family sisters seemed to be connected to each other in the same breath, but in reality, it was unknown what kind of situation they were in in in in private.

In the end, the Imperial Noble Consort Shen had more things to do than the Imperial Consort Shen, and the Second Prince had more things to do than the small ball of unknown flesh in her stomach. Naturally, everything she thought about was perfect, and in the long run, marrying a girl from the Gu family was better than marrying a girl from the Zhang Family.

Gu Wan had indeed reached the age to talk about marriage. Normally, she would act like the Fourth Young Master of the Gu family, and San Niang would rarely appear in front of people, so it was hard for everyone to forget about her. Furthermore, they didn't know what the Marquis was planning, and they were not in a hurry to talk about marriage.

"Jingwan's clothes are also very unique today." The Queen quietly mentioned this, and everyone's attention turned to Xie Jingxi, "In terms of temperament, we would need to talk about Mrs. Gu, every time he wears a simple set of clothes, it would have a different meaning, it would be very durable, especially the clothes and style of the Spirit Embroidery Workshop, it is as though they are tailored for her, and not for us."

The Imperial Noble Consort Shen finally let go of Gu Wan and followed the empress's lead, "Who knows, our Mrs. Gu is famous for putting on all kinds of clothes. She probably doesn't know this, as long as she wears it in front of others, there will be a lot of girls and their wives following her.

Xie Jingxi replied, "Don't make fun of me, Empress and Imperial Concubine. I am a person who fears trouble the most, I wear clothes so I can choose to save a bit of effort, how would I match them, and furthermore I am small, I am probably more suited to the gentle style of the Spirit Embroidery Workshop."

"His Majesty also said that he had done a beautiful mission in Jing Prefecture this time. Although he had met a water thief on the way, there was no danger in the end and he worked with General Sheng Luan to eliminate that water thief, and had even collected the relief money from the Jiangnan Merchant Group. It could be said that he had solved the Jing Prefecture's urgent need, and that was why I dared to report to you that His Majesty had invited everyone to come to the palace for a gathering on this fine day, all thanks to the good fortune of Lord Gu."

This was not a lie, the southern side's disaster was severe, some festivals in the palace were unavoidably cancelled, and it was to ease the cost of the expenses and pacify the people. But even though that was the case, it was still a bit embarrassing for the empress to take Xie Jingxi out in public. Right now, the members of Gu Yun's Sacred Assembly had a bright future ahead of them. It could be seen that the Empress and the Imperial Noble Consort Shen were on good terms with each other, and since Xie Jingxi could not show her friendship, she could only follow them.

"How would Gu Yun fight anything? It's all because of General Sheng Luan, no matter how rampant those water thieves are, they are still afraid of General Sheng Luan's reputation, and not afraid of everyone laughing at him, I was really scared enough when I first heard that he was going to take care of the disaster, if it wasn't for General Sheng Luan, I would definitely have held him back, and I would have been terrified even if that's the case. As long as they can come back with me, I won't ask for anything."

Xie Jingxi's self-deprecating remarks caused everyone to laugh for a while. Zheng Peiru, who was standing in front of the empress, spoke out: "Mrs. Gu's mind is extremely normal, everyone quickly stop teasing her.

The empress raised her head and glanced at her. "Since when did you have to act so friendly with Jingwan? I've never seen you speak up for anyone before."

Zheng Peiru looked at Xie Jingxi in embarrassment, "Aunt, look at what you're saying, it's all because of the cloth I brought to you last time. I couldn't look at it properly, it was Mrs. Gu who helped me pick it out, don't you think I should say something on behalf of this one?"

The empress laughed. "I knew it. That cloth was chosen well, but it doesn't seem like Piru's vision. So it was because of an expert's guidance from behind her back. That's what I should say."

Xie Jingxi took the hint and looked at Zheng Peiru, then said to the empress: "It's Miss Zheng who is being modest."

"Queen imperial consort, His Majesty is calling all the noble people to go to the imperial garden to admire the chrysanthemum."

A eunuch came in to pass the message. The empress imperial consort was the first to stand up. "Return to His Majesty, we'll come shortly."

The chrysanthemums in the palace bloomed better than anywhere else, and was indeed worth a look. Because the chrysanthemum feast was not always held every year, it was an honor to have a chance at it. The imperial consort s of the various palaces and their wives were very happy to see this scene, so they escorted the empress over.

"If I had known earlier that I was going to appreciate the chrysanthemums, I wouldn't have come. You can help me block it later, wuu, I'm scared …"

Gu Guan was not born to be a girl. She would always hide when she saw flowers, come to the palace to admire them, play with the princesses, and pull them down to the Stone Mountain as a bed. After rolling around in the flowers for a while, she would return home with a rash and vomit for several days, and from then on, every time she saw a chrysanthemum, she would feel itchy all over. It wasn't just the chrysanthemums, even the other flowers didn't seem to be in a good mood and wanted to take a detour when they saw the flowers. Later on, Xie Jingwan had shown her the flowers, but she wasn't allergic to them.

Xie Jingxi laughed at her, "Look at you, being scared by a chrysanthemum is not because you are allergic to pollen, but because of its mental effects. Come on, just follow me behind and don't touch it."

Since Gu Wan had suffered a loss once, she decided not to touch the chrysanthemum. No matter what Xie Jingxi said, she refused to believe him and followed closely behind, like a three year old who was afraid of wolves, Gu Wan grabbed her sleeve and looked around like a thief. Suddenly, she poked Xie Jingxi and said, "Look, that's Second Prince Xiao Ruochuan, the one who's like a soft persimmon.

Xie Jingxi was curious for a moment, then followed her line of sight and calmly looked at the Second Prince who did not easily reveal himself.
