Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

The next day, the snow was clear and the sky was clear.

Everyone in Li's mansion was busy with their own affairs, those who went to school, those who went to court, only Qi Qingxi didn't sleep all night, and during the day, no matter how much the two maids yelled, they couldn't wake them up.

"Miss, it's time for you to get up, Master Gu is here."

Lying on the bed, Qi Qingxi frowned slightly, her voice was lazy and vague: "Come on, don't disturb me." She turned over, covered her face with her hair, and fell asleep again in a daze.

In her sleep, Qi Qingxi felt someone gently stroking her hair, but she really didn't have the strength to open her eyes.

She fell asleep until noon, when she tossed and woke up, opened her eyes sleepily, and vaguely saw someone sitting next to the coffee table not far away, with a book in her hand.

Qi Qingxi woke up suddenly and sat up on the bed, and heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the person clearly, it turned out to be Gu Yu.

Gu Yu, who was reading a book, immediately noticed the movement on the bed not far away. He put down the book in his hand and looked at Qi Qingxi who was sitting on the bed in a daze: "Are you awake?"

Qi Qingxi rubbed her eyes and looked at Gu Yu: "When did you come?"

Even though I asked this question, Gu Yu's posture of reading a book must mean that he sat and waited for a long time.

"Why are you sitting here and not waking me up?"

Gu Yu went to the bed and took her hand: "It's okay, I just read a book for a while, I heard Sequoia said that you didn't sleep all night last night, and you didn't sleep until the rooster crowed this morning, why didn't you sleep?"

She was busy thinking about how to get out of the predicament in the future last night, but it reminded her of many descriptions in the book.

Qi Qingxi looked down at Gu Yu's hand, which was being held by slender fingers with well-defined knuckles.

She couldn't help thinking that Gu Zicong in the book used these hands to cover the graves of his relatives with handfuls of loess with his own hands. So far, there is no blood relative of him in the world.

Qi Qingxi reached out and hugged Gu Yu's waist, and leaned her head on his chest. Even if she risked her life in this life, Gu Yu would never suffer such grievances again.

Gu Yu patted her on the back lightly, and said dotingly, "What's the matter? But what's bothering you?"

"Gu Yu." Qi Qingxi called him.

"Well, I'm here."

"Gu Yu?"

"exist."

……

Qi Qingxi called Gu Yu's name over and over again, and Gu Yu answered patiently over and over again.

Suddenly, Qi Qingxi pushed Gu Yu away, and she suddenly remembered that she just got up and stayed up all night, she must look ugly now, but she still needs to save face.

She immediately covered her face and said: "You, you go to the front hall and wait for me first, and call Sequoia in for me by the way."

Gu Yu smiled and patted her head, agreeing softly.

After Qi Qingxi packed up her clothes, she went to the main hall. Mrs. Guo and Gu Yu had already sat down and were waiting for her to have lunch.

At the dinner table, the three of them kept sharing food and caring for each other, enjoying themselves, and the original sadness and troubles were diluted a lot.

After lunch, Mrs. Guo took out an invitation card and handed it to Qi Qingxi. Qi Qingxi thought it was another wedding or birthday banquet that invited Mrs. Guo to the banquet.

As a result, Qi Qingxi opened the post and saw that it was actually an invitation from Miss Zhao San of Changxing Hou Mansion to invite her to be a guest at the mansion.

But Qi Qingxi remembered that she should have no contact with the young lady of Changxing Hou's family. How could this Miss Zhao San send someone to send invitations, or she was only invited alone.

Seeing her puzzled look, Gu Yu explained to her: "This Miss Zhao San is the bride Shen Zheng wants to marry, Zhao Jingwan."

Qi Qingxi suddenly realized, and then began to wonder again, even though this Miss Zhao San is Shen Zheng's bride, but she will marry into the Shen family next month, and it should be her busiest time to prepare a lot of wedding things at this time That's right, why would you want to invite yourself to her house as a guest?

Besides, they only arrived in the capital yesterday, and they received invitations to be guests within less than a day after returning home.

Gu Yu seemed to know what she was thinking, so he took a sip of tea and said, "Shen Zheng should have told her. Shen Zheng knew when we were going back to Beijing. When I got home yesterday, he just came back from Zhao Mansion and said he knew I was coming home. I made a special trip to come home to see me."

Shen Zheng, as the eldest son of the Marquis of Ningguo whose family is based on martial arts, was originally supposed to practice martial arts since he was a child, and when he was old, he would join the army with his father to fight in the battlefield to defend his family and the country.

But although Marquis Shen Xing of Ningguo taught Shen Zheng and Gu Yu martial arts since childhood, he never took Shen Zheng to the army. Even Gu Yu followed his uncle Shen Xing to the battlefield several times, but Shen Zheng let alone went to the battlefield. It is that the military positions that should have been inherited at the original age have not been inherited.

On the bright side, the Ningguo Hou's Mansion declared to the outside world that the Shen family had only a single seedling like Shen Zheng, so naturally it had to be taken care of carefully, if something unexpected happened at that time, it would not be worthy of the Shen family's ancestors.

However, the Shen family has been in the army for generations, so how could they not even have the awareness to sacrifice their lives for the country and die on the battlefield.

When Shen Zheng was young, he was indeed trained as a qualified successor of the Shen family, but when he grew up, the situation in the court changed. Not only the princes under the emperor's knees gradually grew up, but also those who were far away The prince of the fief is also ready to move.

What Marquis Shen was afraid of was not that his son would die on the battlefield, but that he would be implicated innocently in the party and government, and that his death was not worth it.It's not that there is no one available in the left and right courts, and the Shen family must go forward and fight for their lives.

Shen Zheng studied martial arts and the art of war diligently since he was a child, so that one day he could realize his dream and fight on the battlefield to defend his family and country like his father.

After knowing that he could not join the army, he was very disappointed and helpless, but he could understand his father's good intentions. Although he could not be a sergeant, he would sneak into the barracks to compete with those soldiers.

That is, in the barracks, Shen Zheng met Zhao Jingwan, the third lady of the Zhao family who disguised herself as a man and also competed with soldiers in the army.

At first, Shen Zheng always treated her like a good brother. The two often ate, drank and hung out together in the capital for several years. Unexpectedly, one day when they met Gu Yu on the street, Shen Zheng introduced Zhao Jingwan to Gu Yu. But at a glance, he saw that Mr. Zhao was a girl.

Hearing this, Shen Zheng couldn't help but widen his eyes, jumped up and shouted, "Is she actually a woman?"

Qi Qingxi couldn't help laughing when Gu Yu told about Shen Zheng and Zhao Jingwan's past.

She remembered the man and woman who were talking through the courtyard wall when she was a guest at Ningguohou's Mansion last year. She heard Princess Anning call that cousin Renzheng, and the girl asked Shen Zheng if he was really going to marry someone else.

Thinking about it now, those two should be Shen Zheng and Zhao Jingwan.

Qi Qingxi was a little curious. She could guess the reason why these two couldn't be together before. Both of them were from the family of military officers who were too prominent. It is certain that no party would like to see the two get married.

Even in order to avoid these things, Shen Zheng's mother specially found Qi Qingqing, a civil servant, as his wife.

But now how can these two people get the marriage gift from the Empress Dowager?
