Gu Zhili arrived at the beginning of the Plum Blossom Banquet. He was very annoyed at home and came the earliest.
From a distance, I saw a young girl sitting in the pavilion, looking sad.
When I got closer, I realized that the girl was sobbing quietly.
The girl has a slender neck, skin as delicate as porcelain, and a halo on the side of her face that seems to glow faintly in the sun.
Gu Zhili's heart moved, and he asked out loud, "What's wrong with the girl?"
Jiang Yi raised her eyes, her pretty face was covered with traces of tears. She seemed a little dazed, and her whole body exuded a fragile and delicate feeling.
She stood up and saluted Gu Zhili. The cold winter wind made her figure look even more slender and weak.
Gu Zhili even felt that she would be blown away by the strong wind.
The eyes of this frail girl were red, as if she had just been bullied, which made Gu Zhili feel a desire to protect her.
Who would have the heart to make such a delicate beauty angry?
Gu Zhili felt that such a woman was only suitable to be kept in a golden house and protected for a lifetime.
He suddenly asked, "Who bullied the girl?"
Jiang Yi wiped away the tears in her eyes and said softly, "Your Highness is fine."
"Talk to me, please. I am the prince of Xinwang Mansion. As long as the emperor doesn't bully you, I can help you vent your anger."
Jiang Yi turned his face away, seeming a little embarrassed.
Gu Zhili leaned over and looked at Jiang Yi again.
He locked his eyes on the girl, and then she spoke softly, "No one is bullying me, it's just that the boy I like doesn't care about me."
The tone of her voice was so gentle, so soft that Gu Zhili felt as if she was tickling the tip of his heart.
He felt a little itchy, but when he carefully thought about the meaning of those words, he suddenly felt bitter.
It's such a pity that such a beautiful woman has someone else in her heart.
But luckily the guy she likes is blind, so he still has a chance.
Looking at the gentle and graceful Jiang Yi, Gu Zhili couldn't help but think of Jiang Lian again. Gu Zhili didn't have a very deep impression of Jiang Lian. He only remembered that when he was drinking with others, he was ridiculed about his marriage with Jiang Yi. After that, Jiang Lian threw herself into his arms, and he almost vented his anger.
On the contrary, the impression has only become deeper recently.
Jiang Lian's family came to suck his blood, so his impression of Jiang Lian was naturally extremely bad. Suddenly, he ran into the weak and beautiful Jiang Yi. In comparison, he naturally felt that Jiang Yi was like a goddess from the Tianshan Mountains.
The girl frowned slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to comfort her and said, "It doesn't matter."
Jiang Yisui's eyes lit up, and she looked at Gu Zhili with a hint of joy, "Sir, do you have a way to make him change his mind?"
"That's a bit difficult." Gu Zhili felt a little guilty, "But you can look at others. There are so many outstanding men in this world."
"If I am not welcome here, there are other places that will welcome me."
He pretended to be frank and said to Jiang Yi: "When you get better and better in the future, he will naturally regret it."
Jiang Yi was amused by him. The corners of the girl's mouth turned up, and her eyebrows and eyes curved, just like the rising sun.
Gu Zhili suddenly felt his heart beating faster.
It would be great if I could marry such a beautiful woman.
An idea suddenly occurred to him, so he took the initiative to ask, "Whose family is the girl from?"
"This... is a secret." Jiang Yi's eyes were cunning. "But thank you for your enlightenment, my Lord. I feel much better now."
Gu Zhili hurriedly said, "You don't have to call me 'Prince'."
Jiang Yi looked at him puzzledly.
"My family just happens to be in need of a younger sister. You can call me 'Brother Zhili'." Gu Zhili's ears turned red when he said this.
Jiang Yi asked, "Is this okay?"
“好的，将来你若再喜欢上谁，我直接将他给揍服，带到你跟前！”顾致礼连忙说道。
Jiang Yi was amused by him again, and said, "Okay, brother Zhili."
Gu Zhili watched Jiang Yi's back getting farther and farther away, and suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.
He didn't even know the girl's identity, and didn't know when they would meet again.
Gu Zhili was somewhat listless. When he arrived at Luomei Hall where the banquet was held, there were already quite a few people there.
He sat down in the seat that originally belonged to him.
Opposite Gu Zhili was Prince Shen, and the Queen Mother had the ingenuity to arrange Jiang Yi next to Prince Shen.
Gu Zhili originally did not get along with Prince Shen, but in fact it was mainly because Gu Zhili disliked Prince Shen.
Prince Shen is usually quiet and reserved, so Gu Zhili thinks he is a man with bad intentions and always bullies Gu Shen whenever he sees him.
But I don’t have much strength today.
Prince Shen naturally would not take the initiative to provoke him.
Jiang Yi was dressed very simply today. The girl who used to love to laugh was not talking much today and was not moving her chopsticks much.
After knowing the emperor's thoughts, Prince Shen certainly didn't dare to have any thoughts about Jiang Yi anymore. He wondered in his heart, did Jiang Yi and the emperor have a quarrel?
Although he no longer had such feelings for Jiang Yi, they had known each other for a while, so he took the initiative to ask, "Are you feeling bad?"
"It's okay. I didn't sleep well yesterday, so I'm not in a good mood." Jiang Yi smiled at Prince Shen.
Prince Shen was thinking about the relationship between Jiang Yi and the emperor. If these two could really get together in the future, Jiang Yi might even become the queen.
By then, the Prince's Mansion will still have to rely heavily on Jiang Yi.
He then asked again, "Had a quarrel with the Emperor?"
"No, Brother Xie Shen cares about me." Jiang Yi said.
Prince Shen's hand holding the pastry froze, and he felt inexplicably frightened. He quickly glanced at the emperor above him, and sure enough, the emperor's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he stared at him.
