The 13th Maid of New Four Greats

  Liáng shì zì rán yě yào gēn zhe dà jiā yī qǐ qù, Gù Yǔ Kuí diào zhe Liáng shì de yī bǎi cùn bù lí, bèi Liáng shì qiāo qiāo de shuǎi kāi.

  "Ah Nuan, you should still follow the others." Liang said quietly to Gu Yuqie. It's nice that her daughter misses her, but she can't keep her daughter by her side forever, and in a few years, when her daughter is older, they will start discussing marriage arrangements, so it won't hurt for her to interact with other noble girls more often.

  Gu Yuqiu was originally going to stay by her mother's side, but since her mother said so, she could only let go and watch as Liang Shi walked into the warm pavilion.

  Having no choice, she specially chose a quiet place to walk alone, isolating herself from the crowd, and her heart finally calmed down slightly.

  She had been to this courtyard a few times in her past life, so she wasn't likely to get lost. She found a sunny and secluded corridor and sat down, leaning against the railing, looking at the plum trees blooming vigorously in the courtyard, basking in the warm sunshine of the afternoon, with the fragrance of plum blossoms on her nose, which was also a pleasant thing. Gu Yuqie was planning to hide for a while before going to find Liang Shi and saying that she was tired or cold, and Liang Shi wouldn't drive her out again.

  In the distance, faint sounds of laughter and music drifted over, Gu Yuqie pulled her cloak tighter around herself, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. If it were her past life, she would have definitely thought of ways to make herself stand out among that group of people. Now, this was quite good, stealing a leisurely half-day in the fleeting life.

  Perhaps she was wearing too much and the warm sunshine made her drowsy, before long, Gu Yuqie fell asleep in a daze.

  Yun Ke finally found an excuse to leave, he had never liked such gatherings, surrounded by chirping beauties, although the whispers and laughter in his ear were sweet, but there was not a hint of joy.

  He had been an emperor, surrounded by the three palaces and six courts for decades, and the gorgeous scenery in front of him was already a common thing to him. Seeing that the crown prince and Yun Yi were very enthusiastic, he followed them with a perfunctory smile, but also felt a bit tired of it.

  He remembered there was a small courtyard here that was sheltered from the wind, where the sun shone brightly and all was quiet, so he walked over.

  As soon as he entered the small courtyard, he saw a young girl sitting under the warm sun of the corridor, her body still not fully grown, delicate and small, wrapped in a quilted cloak with a brocade surface, her face like powdered makeup, her lips like cherry blossoms, quietly leaning against the railing to rest, she should be asleep, her eyes tightly closed, her long eyelashes covering her tender face, leaving two beautiful dark shadows.

  The plum blossoms in the garden are blooming profusely, and the girl's sleeping posture is quiet and beautiful.

  She actually hid here, no wonder I couldn't find her among that group of people earlier. If she had toned down a bit, she wouldn't be a bad person to get along with. In her past life, she was always too showy and attention-seeking, doing things in an unconventional way, always trying to stand out from others. Was it all just to attract my attention? But if in her past life she kept leaning towards me, then what's going on now?

  Hiding? Concealing? Or being afraid?

  Yun Ke just realized that he seemed to have been staring off into space for a while.

  A white plum blossom petal that had drifted from the corridor outside quietly fell onto her brow, and the flower petal with a bit of frost touched her warm skin, she slightly frowned in discomfort, and Yun Ke unexpectedly lifted his hand to brush it away for her.

  She felt a cloud of gloom floating over her head, blocking out the warm sunlight. Something else was scratching at her forehead, and Gu Yuqin slowly opened her eyes to find a person standing in front of her. His tall figure blocked out the sun, his back to the light, making it impossible to discern his features, only a golden outline around him where the sunlight danced.

  You... Gu Yuqiu exclaimed and sat up straight, subconsciously lifting her hand to brush away the hand on her forehead.

  Anyone who wakes up in a daze and suddenly finds someone standing in front of them will make self-defensive movements.

  Her hand was intercepted halfway by that person, and Gu Yu's small palm was wrapped in a warm palm.

  Still as reckless as before, he caught Gu Yuqie's hand, and Yun Ke's heart inexplicably relaxed. He didn't like that Gu Yuqie had memories of their past life just like him. Because if so, it would be too uninteresting. Holding her soft wrist in his hand, the smooth and tender feeling made his heart feel at ease.

  In his past life, he had never held her hand properly, but the passion she showed when doing that thing with him was something he liked. Other consorts were unwilling to try things, but she was willing, even wild ones. He admitted that when they did it, she was like a gorgeous blooming rose piercing into his heart, unmatched by anyone else. She could still get his love probably because of her boldness, as she was willing to try any move, but in his memory, he had never pitied her.

  Now his small hand was completely wrapped in his, and he couldn't help but think of the past, even his body seemed to have some reaction.

  It's ridiculous. The little girl in front of him is only ten years old, and he has always claimed to have strong self-control, but he has become infatuated with her, which is simply inexplicable.

  Your Highness. Gu Yuqie took a closer look at the person in front of her and almost bit her own tongue, what was she afraid of? She had hidden herself away, yet still ran into this guy.

  She jumped up suddenly, like a thunderbolt, her hand still tightly clenched in Yun Ke's palm, and what was that look in her eyes? It seemed as if she wanted to tear herself apart.

  The young lady didn't know it was the Seventh Prince arriving, and she had been very rude. She quickly pushed Yun Ke away, bent her knees to apologize, and spoke rapidly. What to do? Run? The problem was that she couldn't outrun Yun Ke. At just ten years old, she hadn't grown tall yet, how could she outrun Yun Ke's long legs?

  In his past life, he was disgusted with himself. Ah! A flash of inspiration struck Gu Yuqie's mind - she couldn't avoid him anyway, so why not just let him continue to dislike her like in the previous life? Only this time, unlike the last when she foolishly became his concubine, she wouldn't make the same mistake again.

  Thinking of this, Gu Yuqie raised her eyes instead, pretending to be infatuated with Yun Ke, but she made a vomiting expression in her heart.

  It's this kind of gaze!

  Yun Ke's gaze suddenly touched Gu Yuqie's eyes, and his eyebrows involuntarily furrowed. As the small hand wrapped in his was wrestled free, Yun Ke seemed to have lost something at the bottom of his heart. He tried hard to ignore this discomfort and met Gu Yuqie's gaze head-on. Amidst the astonishment, there was admiration that fell recklessly on his face! She was indeed still her! Not because of any memories from past lives.

  How dare you! How presumptuous! Shameless! These three words rushed to the tip of my tongue, with a feeling as if from past life.

  Seeing Yun Ke's slightly furrowed brow, Gu Yuqie gave herself a big thumbs up in her heart! That's right, if he can't avoid it, he'll be disgusted to death!

  Thinking of this, Gu Yuqie stared at Yun Ke even more fiercely.

  He was a handsome man with an icy and elegant appearance, although he detested him in his heart, but couldn't help saying that Yun Ke's body was indeed **human**, no wonder he had recklessly thrown himself at him like a moth to flame in his previous life.

  Yun Ke's cold voice rang out as he was looked at with displeasure by Gu Yuqiu, "Who are you?"

  Ridiculous! Acting like a big tail wolf! It's not the first time we've met! Just now, Zhang Wan-yi introduced herself, but she didn't believe that Yun Ke had Alzheimer's disease. She turned around and forgot. He must be doing it on purpose!

  Gu Yuqie secretly gave Yun Ke the middle finger in her heart, but still smiled on her face and replied to Qi Dianxia, "I am Gu Yuqie, a maiden of Dingyuan Hou Fu."

  She remembered that in her previous life, when she was so generous and open-minded to introduce herself, his eyes were filled with contempt.

  It's true that modern people like to introduce themselves, but in ancient times, women were not allowed to easily reveal their names to others. In the past, she didn't understand and straightforwardly told her name to Yun Ke whom she met for the first time, only to be misunderstood as a woman with ulterior motives and suffered a loss.

  This is a generation gap! A three-year-old has a generation gap, let alone her and the guy in front of her having a difference of thousands of years.

  A country bumpkin, completely uncouth. Yun Ke scowled and said, "Don't you know that a maiden's name can't be casually told to strange men?"

  Huh? Is this the rhythm of teaching oneself a lesson? Gu Yuqie was slightly stunned, the script wasn't supposed to go like this! He should have coldly snorted and turned to leave! That's what he did in his previous life.

  What's wrong? What went wrong?!

  Gu Yuqie smiled and said, "My daughter has seen you several times, Your Highness. I think you're no longer a stranger to her."

  As expected, you have no shame, just like in your past life!

  "Hmph! Yun Ke listened to Gu Yuqie say this, coldly snorted, and with a flick of his sleeve, turned and left."

  She's shameless, and he's even more so! A lone man and woman, not knowing the slightest bit of restraint. If they were to be seen by someone accidentally, who knows what kind of trouble would arise. And if she continues speaking, she'll probably start saying something like "you look really good" or "I like you". So before Gu Yunjie says more inappropriate things, Yu Ke leaves first.

  This is going back to the script! Gu Yuqie watched as Yun Ke's figure disappeared into the distance, letting out a long sigh. She had known that this would send away this great god, and she had done it anyway. She raised her hand to rub the corners of her eyes, which were twitching slightly. It turned out that flirting was also such a tiring thing.

  She had only exchanged a few words with him, but Gu Yuqie felt more exhausted than after a boxing match! This couldn't go on, she thought to herself. The princess's manor was unbearable; it would be best to find an excuse and return home as soon as possible.
