In a simple farm on the outskirts of Beijing, a woman in coarse linen was struggling to dry her clothes in the yard.

Just as it was drying, there was a rapid knock on the door.

Like a frightened mouse, the woman rushed into the house quickly, and dragged the sleeping man on the bed into the cellar beside him.

She carefully closed the small door on the cellar, huddled in the narrow cellar in fear, hearing those footsteps sounding above her head, her eyes filled with tears.

"mother……"

"To shut up!"

She covered her son's mouth with all her strength, and still had some spare energy to pay attention to the movement outside. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the sound of footsteps gradually left.

"You went to the casino again!" The woman's eyes turned red with anger, she looked at the fat son in front of her, and a sense of powerlessness rose from her heart.

This is Qiuyun who brought Gu Hengjin to Beijing from Yuezhou. Along the way, with the help of kind people, she avoided many dangers and finally came to the capital. She has not yet enjoyed the life of a wealthy lady. I was completely chilled by the cold water of reality.

Her years of savings were wiped out by Gu Hengjin when she was in Yuezhou, but now that she came to the capital, she dared not go to Gu Zhiyuan for fear of being silenced. , thinking about getting back her money every time, but losing everything every time, not to mention the money left to them by kind people, even her previous jewelry was almost all pawned.

Gu Hengjin's face was full of fat, and the fat on his cheeks trembled when he spoke, making him look very ferocious.

"What's wrong with going to the gambling house?" Gu Hengjin waved his hand casually, "My own sister is the concubine of the third prince, let alone going to the gambling house a few times, even if she wants to buy that gambling house... "

"Don't talk nonsense!" Qiu Yun said angrily, "Even if she has the silver, I won't let you spend it! You are the young master of the Gu family, you should write a book and make a fuss, so that you can make a name for yourself in the future." It is!"

However, when Gu Hengjin heard these words, his face was full of impatience: "Mother, why are you still as petty as before, with no knowledge at all? My brother-in-law is the third prince of the dynasty, and he is giving me a Isn't it easy to be an official?"

As he spoke, he patted Qiuyun's shoulder again, persuading him, "Mother, you've been tired for most of your life, why don't you take advantage of this time to have a good rest, and leave the rest to me."

"What do you want to do?" Qiuyun felt an ominous feeling in her heart when she heard him speak, and looked at him vigilantly, "I want to make it clear to you that your father was bullied by the Pei family, and he didn't care about it at all. Dare to recognize us, if you and I want to recognize our ancestors, we have to wait for the third prince to inherit the throne..."

"Don't worry about it." Gu Hengjin waved his hand, lifted the straw from the cellar, and shouted, "When I come back next time, it must be the time when my father will bring you back home in a palanquin! "

When Qiuyun heard this, her heart trembled.

She hurriedly followed behind Gu Hengjin. However, although Gu Hengjin was fat and big-eared, he was much faster than her. In addition, she had scruples in her heart, and she was afraid of alarming others. After chasing Gu Hengjin for a few steps, she could only stay In the same place, looking at Gu Hengjin's back, he was out of breath.

Oops.

Qiu Yun's eyes were full of uneasiness, she was so anxious that she spun around in place, she didn't know what to think of, and she gritted her teeth and walked towards the capital.

……

"Have they entered Beijing?"

Gu Ning was extremely surprised and immediately stood up from the chair.

Chunyu nodded, and said in a low voice: "Our people can see it clearly, but the fat man went to Gu's residence, but Qiuyun went to the Third Prince's residence."

Hearing this, Gu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled meaningfully: "Qiu Yun only came to the capital once, why did she find the Third Prince's Mansion so smoothly? Is it..."

"You guessed right, it was the second prince's people who deliberately lured Qiuyun to the third prince's mansion. Calculate the distance, she should have seen Gu Qingqiu by now."

Gu Ning rubbed his chin, secretly stunned: "This second prince is straightforward, I thought he would wait for a while."

"But think about it, the body in the palace is getting weaker and weaker." Gu Ning chuckled and raised his eyebrows at Chunyu, "Go and invite Xinyue County Lord, just say I invited her to meet the immortals Upstairs for dinner."

"The end of the new year is approaching, everyone might as well get together more. Huixian Tower has released some new dishes, and ask her to call more sisters. This is a world of ice and snow, but there are still so many people."

Chunyu immediately understood Gu Ning's intentions, she held back the smile on her lips, and said seriously: "This servant is going to ask someone to invite Xinyue County Lord."

……

In the Third Prince's Mansion, when Gu Qingqiu woke up today, she felt that her right eye was constantly twitching, and anxiety enveloped her whole body.

Seeing the sunlight outside getting more glaring against the background of the snow, her temper became more and more irritable: "Didn't you tell the servants to clear the snow a long time ago? Why is there so much snow on the ground?"

Banxia Banxia knelt down and said anxiously: "It has been swept away a long time ago, but it just snowed again..."

Before he finished speaking, the porcelain cup thrown from Gu Qingqiu's hand came straight at Banxia's face, and Banxia didn't dare to hide, and took the blow with all his might, a big lump immediately swelled up between his forehead .

Seeing this, Gu Qingqiu's inner anger dissipated quite a bit, and she helped Ban Xia up herself, half to appease and half to warn: "You have worked a lot these past few days, you must be tired too, take a good rest these few days, don't come back again I'm here to serve you."

Ban Xia nodded quickly, not daring to say a word.

She stood up and walked out in small steps. Just as she was about to reach the servant's room, she heard the nuns of the palace discussing in private.

"That woman is here again, and she keeps saying that she wants to see the princess!"

"The concubine has a noble status, how could she meet a woman of unknown origin? I think she is out of her mind, maybe she heard that the concubine is a good person, so she thought of coming to ask for favors."

"But I just saw...she looks a bit like the princess!"

"Shhh!" An elderly nun quickly interrupted the man, "Don't talk nonsense! Be careful if someone overhears you and report to the princess!"

"I just said it casually. If you see me, you must have the same idea as me!" The nun pouted, but she still didn't dare to speculate anymore.

Ban Xia leaned against the corner, her eyes were full of panic, she covered her mouth, and after a few nuns went out, she ran to the main courtyard like a fly.

"Princess! Something is wrong with the princess!"

Ban Xia was out of breath and leaned against the door frame panting.

Gu Qingqiu became even more impatient, with displeasure written in his eyes.

However, Ban Xia's next words made her feel like she was in an ice cellar, and the chill swept her whole body at this moment.

"Qiu Yun is here!"
