It is said that I was cannon fodder

Gu Mingyou put down the sunspot in his hands, the smile on his lips was as warm as a spring breeze, and there was a bit of just-right exclamation in his eyes.

"I lost, Ninghua, your chess skills are getting better and better."

Gu Jinyu smiled humbly, "It's the second brother who gave in, otherwise I wouldn't be able to win."

Shou An heard this conversation and couldn't bear it any longer. She was already dissatisfied with Tong Ninghua's trip, but seeing that the second brother admired her very much, she became even more dissatisfied.

"Huh, it's good that you know, your chess skills are barely enough, after you get on the boat, don't come out and make a fool of yourself!"

"Shou'an!" Gu Mingyou's face darkened, and after drinking Shou'an, he said to Gu Jinyu with a little apology, "Shou'an is young and spoiled by me and my concubine, so I can't hold back my words. Apologize to you on her behalf."

"Brother Erhuang really indulged Shouan too much. In the eyes of Brother Erhuang and Concubine Lan, this kind of temper is frank and cute, but in the eyes of others, it is impulsive and rough."

As soon as these words came out, even Gu Mingyou's face turned gloomy, not to mention Shou'an, she was about to explode, but Gu Mingyou suppressed her.

"Ninghua, what you said is too serious, but Shouan's behavior is a bit too much. I will definitely restrain her in the future."

Gu Jinyu responded with a slight smile, knowing that the siblings probably hated him, but he didn't care.

Gu Mingyou didn't know his gender, and because he was still useful, he asked him out to participate in the West Lake Poetry Festival. The siblings had bad intentions, and he wouldn't be polite, let alone follow Gu Mingyou. Ming worry meaning, express understanding.

The atmosphere in the carriage was a little stiff for a while, and the stagnation didn't dissipate until it stopped by the West Lake.

The three of them and some followers changed to a painting boat, and gradually approached the center of the lake. There were also several painting boats there, among which the one in the middle was the largest and could accommodate many people, but it was not as exquisite as the boat they were riding on now.

As they approached, someone on the painting boat in the middle looked towards this side, and then many people stood up to greet them.

After seeing them clearly, many people's eyes flashed surprise. The two princesses, Shou'an and Ninghua, did not get along. Although it wasn't known to everyone, everyone on the ship knew about it.

However, not everyone was really surprised by this. Some of the powerful people had already known that they would come together, but now they were just cooperating to cover up.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, the expressions on their faces were all warm. After Gu Jinyu boarded the boat and greeted everyone, she was dragged away by two girls.

A girl was wearing a bright yellow crescent phoenix tail skirt, and a few small bells were embedded in the beaded pants she wore in her hair. They made crisp bells when she walked, looking lively and lively.

The other girl was dressed in a lake-blue misty cloud skirt, with a little makeup, she looked gentle and pleasant, like a lily slowly blooming in the wind, bringing people a sense of tranquility and comfort.

After this movement and silence, the two girls are Chu Liuli and Meng Wan, who have a good relationship with the original owner. The former is the prime minister's younger sister. The reason why he failed to take the position has a lot to do with her.

The latter was from Duke Qi's second wife, the third lady of Duke Qi's mansion, and also the original owner's sweetheart. She was more delicate in her thoughts and immediately noticed the difference between Gu Jinyu, but she only thought that the other party was bothering him because of the marriage.

"Ajin, I've asked someone about it. King Jing'an is good-looking. So far, he has never had a girl connected to the house. Now that he has regained his sobriety, your life in the palace must not be bad."

After saying these words, she was a bit ashamed, but Meng Wan really regarded the original owner as a friend, otherwise she would not have asked about these private matters for him.

When she first found out about this, she complained for the original owner. In her opinion, for such a good person as Ah Jin, she shouldn't spend the rest of her life on a comatose person. It's a pity She couldn't do anything, so she could only pray that King Jing'an would survive.

Now that King Jing'an is awake, she is really happy for her friend, but it's a pity that the original owner didn't want this kind of feelings. For the original owner, marrying King Jing'an is tantamount to humiliation.

However, now that the core has been changed, the attitude towards this matter is naturally very different. For Gu Jinyu, whether King Jing'an is unconscious or awake, it just makes him slightly change the way he handles things. The only thing that remains the same is that he You need to marry into Jing'an Palace.

So for Meng Wan's comforting words, he only responded with a smile.

Chu Liuli on the side had a troubled look on her face. She naturally cared about her friends, and her elder brother was also the prime minister, so she knew a little more. Four words - definitely not a good match.

Moreover, her elder brother told her that King Jing'an would never accept the emperor's order honestly, which meant that King Jing'an was very likely to resist the order and refuse to marry. After this happened, sister Jin must be the unlucky one.

But seeing the relaxed smiles on the faces of the two sisters, she didn't know whether to say it, because she knew very well that even if they knew, they would not be able to change the ending.

She was terribly entangled, and Meng Wan, who was talking to Gu Jinyu, felt something was wrong. She usually talked about Liuli the most, but now she hadn't heard her voice for a long time.

She turned her head slightly and saw that she was almost frowning, and she was shocked: "Liuli, what's wrong with you? But you don't feel well?"

"No, no!" Chu Liuli was taken aback, seeing the two people staring at her, she subconsciously waved her hands.

On the contrary, this appearance seemed to make her feel that something was wrong. Meng Wan looked at her worriedly, and seeing that her face was rosy, and she didn't look uncomfortable, she asked, "Did something happen to you?"

"No." Chu Liuli struggled to utter a word, and finally decided to say it. Even if King Jing'an really divorced, he had to make a mental preparation first. Perhaps, he could really think of a way to turn things around?

She lowered her voice and said, "I heard from my elder brother that King Jing'an is born rebellious, and I'm afraid he won't easily obey the emperor's orders."

Meng Wan was still a little stunned, not knowing what she meant, but Gu Jinyu already understood, wasn't it precisely for this that Qi Ran came here last night?

Facing Shang Chu Liuli's worried gaze, he smiled faintly: "What your brother said is only possible, isn't it? As long as things haven't happened, there will always be a turning point."

Meng Wan also understood what Chu Liuli meant when she heard the words, "A Jin..."

Gu Jinyu didn't give her a chance to continue, and interrupted: "I came out for fun today, why bother to worry about me?"

Although the two women were well-intentioned, they were powerless to change the facts. Gu Jinyu didn't want to listen to their comfort, not to mention that what they were worried about was nothing to him at all. With this time, he might as well have fun.

It was impossible for the two women to know what he was thinking. They thought he was forcing a smile and didn't want them to worry. The two women looked at each other and didn't continue to bring up this topic.

Meng Wan wanted him to be happier, so she proposed to participate in poetry writing. Although their gathering was called the West Lake Poetry Club, it was actually more than just poetry. You can choose from poetry, calligraphy and painting. However, in the past, Gu Jinyu participated in gatherings, Only participate in the "poetry" item.

It's not that the original owner doesn't know how to do it, but whether it's a book or a painting, he has to show his hands. He is worried that it will be exposed, so he only chooses "poetry". idea.

Both Meng Wan and Chu Liuli thought that he liked to write poems, so they chose him first.

But as soon as the three of them got up, they heard a proud voice saying: "My Fifth Sister is very proficient in calligraphy and painting. Although Second Miss Fang's handwriting is exquisite, she is still not as good as my Fifth Sister."

Meng Wan immediately frowned. This seemed to be flattering, but in fact it created a wave of hatred for Ajin. Among other things, the second Miss Fang who was compared must be upset.

Chu Liuli also noticed the malice in it. She raised her brows and was about to complain for Gu Jinyu, but the latter stopped her.

Gu Jinyu glanced at Shou'an with the eyes of a fool, obviously he has already suffered a big loss at his hands, but Shou'an doesn't seem to have a long memory, and has been trying to provoke him, so he will not be polite.

"Seventh Emperor Sister has never seen me write, so I don't know where you came to this conclusion? Could it be that you sneaked into my palace and stole the calligraphy and paintings I left behind?"

"You!" Shou An's face turned red with anger, she looked around, there were several girls avoiding her sight, not daring to look at her, these people must be laughing!

Chu Liuli didn't have so many scruples, and laughed directly: "It seems that Princess Shou'an loves Sister Jin very much, and she even doesn't hesitate to be a thief."

"Presumptuous! How dare you speak to me like that?!" Princess Shou'an couldn't help Gu Jinyu, and when she heard Chu Liuli's voice, she immediately vented her anger on her.

Chu Liuli is not afraid at all, her elder brother is her confidence, "What's wrong with what I said? Sister Jin has no calligraphy and painting left outside, and she has never shown it in front of you. If you didn't peek, how would you know Sister Xiaojin? How is your calligraphy and painting level?"

Princess Shou'an was speechless, she looked around, hoping that someone would stand by her side.

But the noble lady who can stand here is not stupid. Opposite is the prime minister's precious sister, Princess Ninghua who will soon become Princess Jing'an, and the third lady of Duke Qi's family who has a marriage contract with Duke Ning's mansion.

No matter which side can't afford to offend, it's better not to help each other, at least it won't cause disaster for nothing, and since the second prince and the prime minister are here, they don't want to cause trouble.

On the contrary, the second Miss Fang who was being compared had a faint smile on her lips. She was not happy about Princess Shouan using her as a raft. Now seeing Princess Shouan deflated, the anger in her heart dissipated .

However, she glanced at Gu Jinyu indiscriminately. This Princess Ninghua's behavior has changed. Although she did not deal with Princess Shouan in the past, she would not let the latter down so directly.

Thinking of her marriage with King Jing'an, Second Miss Fang is not so strange anymore, maybe she was stimulated by that incident.

Gu Jinyu noticed the flash of pity in Miss Fang's eyes. Recently, there was only one thing he deserved to be sympathized with. Why do you feel that many people know that King Jing'an will most likely resign?

It was rare for him to be a little depressed, so he simply charged this account to King Jing'an, since he was the culprit anyway.

He was silent with a smiling face. No one could tell what he was thinking just now, and the others didn't speak. The strangeness here was finally noticed by the people next to him.

Gu Mingyou glanced at the angry Shou'an and the calm Ninghua, and roughly guessed the reason, he sighed secretly, Shou'an was so impatient, he had already warned her not to To provoke Ninghua, she refused to listen.

He originally wanted to make a big matter into a small one, but when the trivial matter turned into a small one, Chu Liuli had already run to Chu Yechen's side and narrated the matter completely.

She didn't add any embellishments, it was Princess Shou'an who was uneasy and kind, intending to make trouble, she just said it like this, but it made people no excuse to be picky.

At best, this matter is a rivalry between sisters. At worst, it is Princess Shouan's intention to frame her sister, which is a royal scandal.

So many people around heard it, and this could not be settled by his pressure. He wanted everyone to pretend they didn't see it, unless Ning Hua took the initiative to stand up and make things right.

But will he?

The answer is of course no, Gu Jinyu just stood there quietly, and smiled at Gu Mingyou with an unknown meaning.

Ninghua has gone crazy - this is the conclusion Gu Mingyou came to.

At this moment, he began to doubt whether the instructions given to him by Concubine Lan were correct and he was forced to marry King Jing'an.

And beside him there is a Shou An who doesn't know how serious he is, and he insists on bumping into him. If he wants to make friends with Ninghua, he has to abandon Shou An. In his opinion, this deal is not worth it.

Just when he was about to speak in favor of Shou'an, Chu Yechen said, "Princess Shou'an is indeed playing too much."

One sentence defined Princess Shou'an's behavior, and Gu Jinyu and Gu Mingyou looked at him at the same time.

In his capacity, when he opened his mouth, except for a few princes and princesses, no one else would have to contradict him, so they nodded silently.

Chu Liuli only felt that her elder brother favored Shou'an, and just as she was about to move, she was patted on the back of her hand reassuringly, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Chu Yechen didn't intend to answer her, and looked at the lake in the distance with a smile, as if the words just now didn't come from his mouth.

Gu Mingyou changed his mind suddenly, changed his decision instantly, and said in a deep voice: "Shou'an, apologize to Ninghua, don't be so naughty next time."

Shou Anxin felt unwilling, seeing the stern look in his eyes, he reluctantly said, "Fifth Sister, I'm sorry."

Gu Jinyu gave a soft "um", and then said nothing, which made everyone who was habitually waiting for the scene to speak quite uncomfortable, and there was a little subtlety.

A "um" can mean many things, who knows whether the princess expressed understanding or dissatisfaction?

No one dared to ask -- except Shou'an, but she was suppressed by Gu Mingyou, who didn't want to cause any more trouble, he had already realized that Ninghua often didn't play cards according to common sense. I have to tear off that fig leaf and step on it a few times.

Ninghua was driven to a dead end, so she had no scruples, he couldn't do it, he couldn't lose himself for her, so he backed down.

The atmosphere has returned to harmony, at least on the surface.

Gu Jinyu sat in a corner tasting pastries, Meng Wan accompanied him, racking his brains to think of interesting things, hoping to make him forget the unpleasantness just now.

Gu Jinyu listened for a while, feeling quite helpless, "I'm not sad, so you don't have to bother to make me happy."

Meng Wan stared at him for a while, making sure that he was relaxed from the bottom of his heart, and finally relaxed his tight little face.
