Chapter 32 The Prey

Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen were led by the maids of Prince Jing's mansion to a table by the window. There were several plates of melon and fruit snacks on the table, and a plum vase with a few green chrysanthemums.

When the wind blows, a faint and elegant fragrance of chrysanthemum lingers in the water pavilion.

After the two sisters sat down, Gu Yanfei sent the maid and poured two cups of tea in person, one for herself and the other for Gu Yunzhen.

Gu Yunzhen took a sip of tea and looked up at the direction of the Changqing County Master. The two men and one woman who had just arrived at the water pavilion were greeting Changqing with greetings. The girl in blue hugged Gu Yunchang's arm affectionately, chatting and laughing. .

"That's the eldest girl and the fourth son of General Li's mansion. The other young son looked a little stunned, so he shouldn't be the son of the Li family." Gu Yunzhen told Gu Yanfei in a low voice, "Miss Li and the third sister are in the boudoir. close friend."

Gu Yunzhen has always been considerate, and introduced some noble ladies and sons to Gu Yanfei. The girl who took a pink chrysanthemum from the vase and played with it was the third girl of Chang Anbo's mansion, and the girl wearing pink clothes was the ninth girl of Yu Wang's mansion. , and the brocade-clothed son who just arrived outside the door is Chu Junhao, the third son of King Jing's mansion...

There was laughter and laughter in the water pavilion. Some people gossip, some people toast to drink, some people play shoot and cover... The scene is very lively.

After talking with the Princess Changqing for a while, Gu Yunchang followed another maid toward Gu Yanfei and the others, with a red forehead that was one finger wide in her hand.

The maids of the palace are distributing the foreheads. Today's polo match is led by the brother and sister Chu Junhao and the princess of Changqing.

Everyone who is going to play in a while is all in high spirits, eager to show their skills.

"Second sister, it's about to start, do you want to go up and try it?" Gu Yunchang stopped at the table and looked at Gu Yanfei with a bright smile and clear eyes.

Yesterday, Mrs. Gu Tai asked her to take Gu Yanfei with her, and Gu Yunchang agreed without a word.

Since Gu Yanfei has returned to Gu's house, it means that sooner or later she will enter the circle of noble ladies, and more importantly, Fang Mingfeng will also come today.

Thinking of Fang Mingfeng, Gu Yunchang's eyelashes trembled.

Gu and Fang are family friends.

The eldest daughter of the Gu family married Fang Mingfeng.

However, Gu Yanfei seemed to have misunderstood the other party, Mingfeng, and was very resistant to this marriage, so he had to create a chance for them to meet.

When these two get married successfully, they will no longer owe Gu Yanfei any more, and the relationship between them is now clear.

Gu Yanfei lowered his eyes halfway, drank his tea gracefully, and smiled without saying a word.

Gu Yunzhen saw this and thought she couldn't play polo, so he smiled and said, "Second sister, sit with me, let's watch them play."

Gu Yunxiang thought so too, and it was not difficult for her to be strong. She secretly said in her heart: Wait for Fang Mingfeng to come, and she will bring people over.

The smile on her face became even brighter, and she added: "The county master set up a bet today, and also set a lottery jackpot. Those who don't play can bet."

"I will definitely win." Gu Yunxiang's eyes shone brightly, revealing self-confidence.

Gu Yunzhen laughed, and was about to speak, when a brisk call from the county master of Changqing came from not far away: "Yun嫆, you're missing."

Gu Yunchang, who had just sat down, said "excuse me", then walked away in a hurry, and followed Chang Qing and others out of the water pavilion.

Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen still stayed at the table by the window, drinking tea, eating snacks, and enjoying the lake view.

On the east side of the water pavilion is the lake, and on the west side is a vast and flat polo field, with a length and width of 300 paces.

One person and one horse stood under the bamboo shed in the middle.

Fang Mingfeng, who was dressed in a sky-blue hooded robe with lapel collar, stood leisurely with a white horse covered in snow.

"Yun嫆," he bowed his hand courteously, showing the nobleness of the prince of the palace, and greeting with concern, "I heard from my sister that you were feeling unwell a few days ago, are you feeling better?"

Fang Mingfeng looked at Gu Yunxuan up and down, the silk sash around her waist made her slender waist soft and easy to fold. After half a month, she lost a lot of weight...

"Occasionally it's cold, and it'll be fine after drinking **** soup for two days. It's okay." Gu Yunchang smiled generously.

"..." Fang Mingfeng pursed his thin lips, but he hesitated. It is obvious why she is thin and why she is ill.

After gossiping for a couple of words, Gu Yunxiang raised his finger and pointed to Zhuoxinshui Pavilion a few feet away, and changed the topic: "My second sister is here too, just sit there."

The autumn wind blows from the lake, blowing the layers of veils outside the water pavilion. Through the flying tulle, two young girls can be seen sitting by the window, one with their backs to him, and the other showing exquisite beauty. profile.

Gu Yunchang winked at Fang Mingfeng playfully, and whispered in a low voice, "My second sister is a rare beauty."

She smiled brightly, and her tone was a bit of ridicule that only acquaintances have.

"..." Fang Mingfeng's face froze, looking at Gu Yanfei's profile from a distance, remembering the scenes when he met him at the gate of Danyang City.

During this time, what happened that day has been haunting him like a blood leech.

Fang Mingfeng couldn't help being a little irritable, his eyes darkened, and a thought came to his mind:

If only she died in Danyang City!

If Gu Yanfei died in Danyang City, no one in the capital would know of her existence, and Gu Yunxiang would still be the second girl of the Gu family who was engaged to him...

This is all Gu Yanfei's fault! Why is she still alive!

Fang Mingfeng's deep eyes slowly floated a trace of hidden sadness and resentment.

Changqing, who was sitting across the table, vaguely heard Gu Yunkuang's words, and asked casually, "Yunkuang, is this your distant cousin?"

She knew that the girls of the Gu family were from the "cloud" generation, and Gu Yanfei was not involved at all. It was probably a side branch.

Gu Yunchang's eyelashes trembled, and the smile on his face was a little reluctant.

The relationship between her and Gu Yanfei is too complicated to be clear in a few words, and…

"This is my cousin." Gu Yunchang said vaguely, and added, "My second sister, she has a relationship with the prince..."

Gu Yunchang wanted to say that Gu Yanfei and Fang Mingfeng had a marriage contract, and couldn't wait to make it public.

However, just after saying a few words, he was interrupted impatiently by Fang Mingfeng next to him:

"It's about to end, let's discuss how to fight for a while."

"Your Majesty, your third brother is good at defense and should be in charge of this position; the third son of Wang and the fourth son of Wang have a good tacit understanding and must be a double striker; the county master of Anle can both defend and attack, and he plays polo well, but it is a pity that she This horse is a new horse, rebellious..."

Gu Yunchang knew that he was deliberately changing the subject and sighed secretly.

At this moment, she felt a scorching gaze looking at her behind her, she turned around, a familiar figure came into view not far away, and her body froze.
