The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

Gu Jingzhi helped Li Xi get off the carriage and took her towards the palace.

Li Xi looked at the surrounding buildings inconspicuously. Well, it looked very good, with red walls and yellow tiles, very similar to the Forbidden City. However, the surrounding buildings were obviously much newer than the Forbidden City.

Emperor Jian'an knew that Gu Jingzhi was going to bring Li Xi here today, so he had already arranged for people to wait for them at the entrance of the imperial city.

"Your servant Baoqing greets the Major General and Miss Li." Baoqing came forward and said with a smile, "Your Majesty values ​​the Major General and specially ordered your servant to come here to pick you up."

Gu Jingzhi: "Thank you for your help."

"No, no, this is all my job."

Li Xi followed Gu Jingzhi silently without saying a word.

Baoqing's curious eyes swept across Li Xi's face, and he honestly stepped forward to lead the way. He couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. His master had told him more than once that the most undesirable thing in the palace was curiosity, but he just couldn't change it.

All the way to the imperial study was in silence.

When they reached the door of the imperial study, Baoqing stopped and said, "Young General, please wait for a moment. I will go in and make a report."

Gu Jingzhi nodded.

Baoqing tiptoed and went in quietly.

Li Xi patted Gu Jingzhi on the shoulder, and Gu Jingzhi looked at her: What?

"Everything will be left to you in a while." Li Xi leaned close to Gu Jingzhi and whispered.

Gu Jingzhi held her hand with his backhand, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, "Okay."

The eunuchs and guards outside the palace were not blind and could naturally see the intimacy between the two of them. Those who could serve as eunuchs beside Emperor Jian'an were all carefully trained and knew best what they should know and what they should not know, what they should see and what they should not see, and what they should forget after seeing.

So they didn't have the slightest curiosity and just lowered their eyes to look at their toes, as if they saw nothing.

However, many of the guards showed surprised expressions. They obviously did not expect that the famous General Gu Jingzhi would be so gentle and infatuated with a woman.

Gu Jingzhi has a great reputation in the capital and is the nightmare of many of them. They often hear the elders in their family talk about this child from other families, saying that they are no match for him, especially after Gu Jingzhi left the capital and went to the border and made military achievements. They are even more far behind him and have long since accepted his defeat and given up the idea of ​​competing with him.

But who could have imagined that the highly praised Major General Gu was actually such a lust-stricken person in private.

Thinking of this, many people's eyes fell on Li Xi.

Well, she looks okay, and her figure is a little thin, but she has a temperament that other noble ladies in the capital do not have. She is like an orchid growing in a valley.

In the past two days, news about her has been spreading like wildfire in the capital. I'm afraid everyone in the capital now knows that the fiancée of General Zhenbei's son Gu Jingzhi is a country bumpkin.

After seeing the real person, many of them were puzzled as to why Gu Jingzhi fell in love with someone like her. After all, with Gu Jingzhi's status, it would not be a problem for him to get any woman of noble status, so why did he fall in love with such a country girl?

Before meeting her, they had thought about how vulgar country girls were and suspected that Gu Jingzhi was framed or had some unspeakable secret.

But it was obviously not the case when they saw each other today. His fiancée from the country was obviously different from what they had imagined. Looking at the two of them standing together, they were extremely harmonious and well matched.

In fact, it can be seen from their interaction just now that they were overthinking it. The relationship between the two fiancés was very good. They didn't show any unspeakable secrets, but it was obvious that Gu Jingzhi was very satisfied with his fiancée.

Gu Jingzhi naturally felt their gazes and looked up at them coldly.

Feeling a chill, the guards withdrew their gazes and looked straight ahead, as if they had done nothing.

Gu Jingzhi withdrew his gaze, his eyes dimmed, he just felt that they were too casual, it seemed that they had lived too easily in the past, it was time to tighten their skin.

Just at this moment, Baoqing came out of the imperial study, "Major General, Miss Li, please follow me in. His Majesty is waiting."

Hearing this, Gu Jingzhi did not reach out to hold Li Xi's hand. Instead, he took her towards the room. Li Xi lowered her eyes to glance at their clasped hands, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and she followed his steps inside.

In the imperial study room.

Emperor Jian'an couldn't wait to see what the woman who had developed so many new things and was loved by Jing Zhi looked like and what kind of person she was.

Looking at the man and woman walking in from the door, the first thing Emperor Jian'an noticed was their clasped hands, and then he raised his eyes to look at Li Xi.

Before meeting her, Emperor Jian'an had countless guesses about her, but when he really saw her, he felt that she was supposed to be like this.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Gu Jingzhi stood up and saluted with his fists clasped.

Li Xi glanced at him and followed her example, clasping her fists and bowing, "I, your humble servant Li Xi, greet your Majesty."

It’s not that she can’t kneel, but it’s better not to kneel if she can avoid it.

After all, Ji'an was a man who had seen the world, and his face showed no expression. But Baoqing was still young and had little experience. Seeing Li Xi like this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

She, she was behaving inappropriately in front of the palace.

But it was obvious that Emperor Jian'an did not intend to blame her.

"Get up and give me a seat."

Gu Jingzhi: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Xi glanced at Gu Jingzhi: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gu Jingzhi still held Li Xi's hand and pulled her to sit aside.

"Okay, we don't need you to serve us here. Go out and wait. Don't let anyone come in and disturb us." Emperor Jian'an said.

"Yes, I and others will take our leave." Ji An gave a look to the servants in the hall and took three steps back, but they turned and left.

The door of the imperial study was closed from the outside, and only three of them were left in the room.

Emperor Jian'an looked at Li Xi with sharp eyes, "You are Li Xi."

"Your Majesty, I am Li Xi." Li Xi also looked at him. There was no fear or terror in his eyes, only calmness.

Emperor Jian'an did not speak, still looking at him with sharp eyes. After three breaths, seeing that Li Xi was still unmoved, Emperor Jian'an laughed heartily, "Good, good, good, you are a good child, worthy of being the one that Jing Zhi fell in love with."

Li Xi: "He's not bad, he's good enough for me to like."

"Hahaha, well said, you two are both good, both good kids."

Emperor Jian'an was an emperor and held a high position, but he gave people a feeling of being difficult to approach. Not to mention others, even his children were very afraid of him.

He didn't expect that the child was not afraid of him at all. After all, a person who can make hemostatic drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs and cement is not an ordinary person.

"I see that you two have a deep affection for each other. When do you plan to get married, I will grant you the marriage."
