The female family members were all listening to operas in the theater. Xiao Yuzhi was lively and never liked to watch operas. When she saw her mother, Liu, with a stern face, she said, "Okay, my daughter knows she is wrong. I will definitely not say such things next time." She was just speaking quickly and had no malice.

Liu glanced at Xiao Yuzhi indifferently. She was spoiled to her too much, because Xiao Yu was the pearl in the Duke's Mansion since she was a child. She was afraid that her daughter would be unbalanced, so she was more doting on her. Unexpectedly, as soon as she was doting, she developed such a temperament.

She said, "You, let's use your brain first when you speak in the future, don't think about what you say."

Xiao Yuzhi nodded repeatedly: "Okay, my daughter understands."

Although it is difficult to correct, she usually urges her if she can, and it is a little bit if she can. Seeing that she knew she was wrong, Liu didn't say much, and just asked: "The Empress and the others are all in the theater, but should she go with her mother to listen to the opera?

She didn't want to go, it was too boring. Xiao Yuzhi shook her head: "Mother, go, I'll go back to do embroidery work."

On such a lively day, how could she do embroidery work steadily? Liu didn't expose her. She couldn't sit still when she went to listen to the opera, so she said, "There are many people in the house today, so don't cause trouble, so as not to make people laugh."

She was seventeen. Xiao Yuzhi felt that she was long-winded and nodded perfunctorily, then pushed Liu's shoulder and said enthusiastically: "Mother, please feel free to go to the show."

When Liu left, Xiao Yuzhi ran out secretly with her skirt, and the close maid followed her closely.

I was going to go over to enjoy the flowers, but when Xiao Yuzhi walked on the corridor, a maid wearing a green armor and lowered her head stuffed a letter into her hand, and then hurriedly left. Xiao Yuzhi looked at the maid's back and felt inexplicable, and then slowly opened the letter. When she saw the content on the letter, she was shocked...

Wei Zu.

What did he ask her to do?

Xiao Yuzhi frowned, and angrily pinched the paper into a ball, his pretty face full of anger: "See me if you want to see me, who is Xiao Yuzhi?"

So he was not in the mood to appreciate the flowers and hurried back to his residence. After sitting in the inner room for a while, Xiao Yuzhi took out the wrinkled piece of paper from his sleeve. He spread it out again and slowly soothes...

Then he got up, ran to the pineapple wood carved crabapple wardrobe, opened it, kept flipping through the clothes inside, and murmured: "Where is my long skirt with branches? Where is it?"

Seeing her trampling around, the maid hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I will find you."

Xiao Yuzhi ignored her. After rummaging for a long time, she finally found the long skirt of the pink-shaped branch flower, and then compared it to her... The girl who is only seventeen is the youngest and beautiful age. Xiao Yuzhi has fair skin, smart eyes, and a good appearance. She dresses up carefully every day, and is even more dazzling and pretty.

The maid murmured, "Miss, are you going to change your clothes? But your outfit is also new, and you just wore it in the morning."

"You have to care!" Xiao Yuzhi glared at her, "Hurry up and change it for me, hurry up."

The maid dared not disobey Xiao Yuzhi's intentions. Who in the house knew her temper? Apart from the Duke and the Sixth Girl, who could cure her? He quickly raised his hand to change her clothes, then sat in front of the makeup box, changed into a few dazzling bead hairpins, and then he had to go out after cleaning up.

The maid was going out too, but Xiao Yuzhi looked back at her and said sternly: "Don't follow me."

"But..." The maid was a little embarrassed. She was her personal maid, so she naturally had to follow her, otherwise what should I do if something happened?

Xiao Yuzhi said, "I will be back soon. If you follow me, I will punish you for the monthly money this month." She threatened her, then hurried out of the yard with her skirt.

With his footsteps fast, his light skirt was flying, Xiao Yuzhi smiled and hurriedly ran towards Gu Huaxuan in the backyard...

Next to Guhuaxuan is a rockery as a screen, and pine and cypress are planted behind it. The environment is quiet and the path is winding. At the end of the path is a lotus pond, and there is a hexagonal dotted pavilion called Jincui Pavilion. It is quiet and few people are there. Running along the way, Xiao Yuzhi's face was sweating a little. When he was about to fall, he tidied up his clothes and wiped his face with a silk squid.

Then he coughed lightly and cleared his throat before he curled his smile and walked forward in a regular manner.

No figure in my imagination was seen.

Xiao Yuzhi looked around and frowned immediately. But... since she wrote a letter to her, she would always come. Maybe it was a little late. She was going to wait for a while. If he didn't come again, she would leave.

But when she looked up, she saw something on a large stone beside the lotus pond. She held the hem of her skirt and walked slowly towards her.

After seeing it clearly, I realized it was a royal blue sweat scarf.

This color was used by a man. Xiao Yuzhi had a simple mind and didn't think much about it. He naturally thought it was Wei Zhi's, so he ran over immediately.

...

Guo Suyi stood quietly behind the rockery and saw the beautiful figure from afar, with the corner of her mouth gently raised.

"Suyi, what are you doing here?"

A voice suddenly came from behind. Guo Suyi was startled and turned around. When he saw Guo Antai standing in front of him, he said, "Brother?"

Guo Antai's face was light and he continued to ask, "Where am I asking you?"

As soon as he came to the Duke of Guru, he saw her walking sneakily towards her, not knowing what she was doing. Seeing her sister stammering, Guo Antai naturally knew that it was definitely not a good thing, but her sister has always been gentle and well-behaved, and she couldn't imagine that she could do anything out of the ordinary. When he looked at the pavilion, he saw a girl there. After a closer look, he could recognize Xiao Yuzhi, the fifth girl from the Duke of Guru.

Seeing her walking towards the lotus pond, she lowered her head and didn't know what to pick up, she exclaimed, fell down from the pond "thump", and then struggled to call for help.

I immediately understood.

Guo Antai glared at his sister in front of him and said, "Are you going to harm Miss Xiao Wu?"

"Brother..." Guo Suyi's tears came out. Xiao Yuzhi kept bullying her and laughing at her. She just wanted to fight back. If she had no grudges, how could she harm her? She was so bad, what if she punished her?

Guo Antai didn't expect that his sister could do such a thing. When he turned his head, he saw a man walking towards this side in the corridor.

Tian Zan, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, is over fifty years old, and looks energetic and has a strong back. Today, he is also here to protect the Duke's Mansion to celebrate Xiao Huai's birthday. Tian Zan has had a good relationship with the Guo family in recent days. Because Tian Zan is poor in the Ministry of Works, his wife died early and has not yet re-renowned. Guo's mother Zhang thought that Tian Zan's family was wealthy, generous, and had a good temper. Moreover, older men would love others, so she deliberately betrothed Guo Suyi to Tian Zan as re-renowned.

Seeing Xiao Yuzhi struggling in the pool and Tian Zhan slowly walking towards him, Guo Antai still didn't understand?

Seeing his sister pulling him, he threw her away with force and said sternly: "You did a good thing!"

...

Xiao Yu said a few words to Wei Zhi and was about to go back to the theater, but Chun Ming ran over in a panic and said to Xiao Yu: "Empress, something happened to the fifth girl."

Xiao Yuzhi? When Xiao Yu heard this, he went to Xiao Yuzhi's Zhilan Courtyard with Wei Zhi. Wei Zhi was not convenient to go in, so he stayed outside. Xiao Yu took his maid to Xiao Yuzhi's bedroom directly. Seeing that Luo and the second aunt were all there, he saw that they were about to salute, so he hurriedly stopped him.

Xiao Yuzhi was wrapped in a brocade quilt and nestled on the couch, with her hair, and wearing a white bedclothes. Her face was not very good-looking. Liu also cried with pain, and didn't know how to talk about her.

Xiao Yuzhi choked on the water just now and was confused. She was much more awake now. She muttered, "Isn't it just falling into the water? I'm fine anyway." She said with caution when her mother was afraid that her mother would punish her.

Of course it is not a trivial matter. Today, Xiao Yuzhi fell into the water and was rescued by a foreign man. Even the Xiao family is a family of generals. With such a blind date, where can the girl’s family have the reputation to say?

Xiao Yu knew almost everything. For some reason, Xiao Yuzhi ran to Gu Huaxuan in the backyard alone, accidentally landed in the lotus pond, and was finally rescued by a man outside.

In the front yard, Guo Antai has changed into a clean dark green collar and is decorated with a straight face.

Xiao Yuzhi's father, Mr. Xiao San, stood in front of him with concern.

If you are in terms of age, Mr. Xiao will naturally be a few years older than him, but if you are in terms of official positions, Guo Antai is a second-rank minister. When he sees him, he will naturally be polite. Mr. Xiao saluted him and thanked him: "Thanks to Lord Guo who saved his daughter today, I am very grateful to you."

Guo Antai said gently: "My Lord Xiao is polite. I am just a little help." He raised his eyes and saw that Mr. Xiao's face was unhappy. He knew what happened today, which was indeed a great loss to Miss Xiao Wu.

I thought of his sister again...

Without hesitation, Guo Antai lifted his robe and knelt directly in front of Master Xiao San.

Mr. Xiao was shocked and hurriedly helped him: "What is Mr. Guo doing?" How could he withstand the kneeling of this great Shangshu?

However, Guo Antai did not get up and only looked up at Master Xiao San and said, "Although Guo saved Miss Xiao Wu today, it affected Miss Xiao Wu's reputation. Some words were probably abrupt now, but Guo still wanted to ask Lord Xiao to marry Miss Xiao."

"you……"

Master Xiao opened his eyes wide and he said in surprise, "You ask to marry... Yuzhi?"

Guo Antai nodded: "Guo and Miss Xiao Wu also met several times. Miss Xiao Wu is innocent and well-educated, and has long been willing to marry her. If Lord Xiao can do it, Guo will ask the emperor for an order to marry her and marry her in a grand manner."

...

Xiao Yu was originally in Xiao Yuzhi's bedroom. He thought of a way to solve the problem, so he heard the maid coming and said that the emperor was here.

He was still assassinated on the way to Xiao's house and injured his arm.

When Xiao Yu heard this, he went to the front yard first.

When I passed, I saw Xue Zhan coming. He was wearing a black dragon robe, with agile steps, and his left arm seemed to be sucking a little, and now he was pinching it hard. He was just hitting it, Xiao Yu looked at him, and both of them were stunned.

Xiao Yu quickly reacted and walked to him and said, "Go to me first."

Xue Zhan's face was faint and he didn't say anything, but he still went to Chengxiyuan with Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu was also confused.

That day, he clearly said he was not free, but now he didn't know why he came again? But Xiao Yu was indeed welcome to come. Although he was annoyed at her, he at least gave the Xiao family some shame.

Seeing that he was injured, I didn't want to think about anything else for the time being. I sat next to him and looked down at the wound on his arm. Because the dragon robe was dark, I couldn't see it, but the blood was dripping and flowing down his palm.

Seeing the bright red blood, Xiao Yu felt dizzy and suddenly remembered her aunt's appearance when she died, and her face turned pale.

He took a deep breath and calmed down and said to him softly: "The doctor is still in the future. Now, the fabric on his arm must be cut open first to facilitate processing later."

Then he ordered Chunming to get scissors.

She carefully held his thick arm and wanted to deal with it for him first, but saw that his face was light and he kept his arm back silently.

Xiao Yu's hands were empty and his gestures seemed a little awkward.

She was stunned for a moment, too lazy to look at his expression again, and stood up silently and said to He Chaoen beside her: "I am clumsy, it's better for Eunuch He, come on."
