The Invincible Sixth Prince, Father, you have caused me so much trouble.

Qiyun...

Shen Yian suddenly remembered, isn’t this the name of Gu Ruoyi’s personal maid in the original novel?

Gu Ruoyi's mother, the Zhen family, was once a wealthy family in Luozhou. In the seventh year of the Ming Yuan Dynasty, there was a severe drought in Luozhou. The land was bare for thousands of miles, and many people died of hunger.

At that time, the entire Daqian Dynasty was in turmoil. There were three kings vying for the throne, and the northern barbarians were eyeing it.

An uprising broke out in Luozhou, and Gu Qing, who was still the expeditionary general at the time, was ordered by the imperial court to lead troops to suppress the uprising.

When the army marched to Luozhou to rest, Gu Qing met the Zhen family who were opening a warehouse to distribute grain to relieve the victims. He fell in love with Zhen Xi, the eldest daughter of Zhen, at first sight, and the two soon fell in love.

The uprising was successfully suppressed. Zhen Xi was pregnant at that time. The imperial court issued an order again, ordering Gu Qing to lead the army north to attack the barbarians. Although he was reluctant to give up, the imperial edict could not be violated.

The world is peaceful, Gu Qing returns to Luozhou only to learn that something unexpected happened to the Zhen family, and hundreds of Zhen family members are missing.

Later, Gu Qing searched for Zhen Xi for seventeen years. When he found her, she was already a handful of loess. Fortunately, the grown-up Gu Ruoyi was still there.

Gu Ruoyi...

Behind the lively girl is a beautiful woman.

Her fragrant skin and jade body are more delicate than flowers, her hands are as white as pines and snow, her long black hair pours down behind her like a waterfall, her starry eyes are like waves, her eyebrows are like ink paintings, and her spirit is like autumn water, which gives people an indescribable softness and delicateness. The language does not say a single word, but it is filled with thousands of styles.

As expected of the heroine in the original novel, her appearance is comparable to that of the silly girl in her family. No wonder so many male protagonists are willing to fall for her.

After confirming who was coming, Shen Yian silently withdrew his gaze and turned his head.

According to the original plot, Gu Ruoyi encountered an accidental incident seven days after she returned to Wuchenghou Mansion, and he helped her out in Qianjin Pavilion. That was when the two had their first encounter and got to know each other.

The original plot has long been changed beyond recognition by him, and those opportunities and treasures that might appear have long been plundered by him. It doesn't matter whether the timing is correct or not. It is an expired strategy book in itself and can be thrown into a corner to gather dust.

Although she only glanced back, Gu Ruoyi was deeply attracted by Shen Yi'an's stunning handsome face, which made her heart beat wildly. There was an indescribable feeling between the two of them. The fate lies.

"Grandma, how much does this wooden hairpin cost?"

"Three coppers." The old woman thought about it and felt it was a bit expensive. "Just two coppers."

The wooden hairpins are well carved and polished, but without any decoration. The wood is not valuable, and the most it can do is earn craft money.

"Grandma, this is money." Ye Liyan took out three copper coins and carefully placed them in the old woman's hands.

"Thank you girl, thank you."

The old lady was very grateful when she saw this.

"Grandma, are these wooden combs for sale too?"

"Yes girl, but it will be slightly more expensive than the hairpin."

Hearing this, Ye Liyan looked at the row of delicate wooden combs, and her little hand and the other hand touched a wooden comb at the same time.

Shen Yi'an raised his eyebrows. He had guessed that this kind of plot would happen.

"Please." Ye Liyan retracted her little hand sensibly, raised her eyes and was startled when she saw Gu Ruoyi in front of her, what a beautiful woman...

Through a layer of white gauze, Gu Ruoyi could feel Ye Liyan's extraordinary and refined cool temperament. To be able to go shopping with such a peerless young man, the person in front of him must be a rich lady from some family.

For some reason, a sense of crisis suddenly emerged in her heart.

"Sister, please." Gu Ruoyi saluted.

Although the Zhen family is lonely, they have followed their mother's eyes and ears since childhood, and have never fallen behind in their studies of etiquette and female celebrities.

Qiyun stood aside and turned her little head from side to side, looking at the two girls with a slightly puzzled look. Why did she suddenly stop talking.

"Grandma, how much does this cost?" Shen Yian's voice broke the awkward atmosphere.

The old woman's somewhat cloudy eyes revealed a touch of clarity: "Sir, this is made of ox horn. It is more expensive and costs one tael of silver."

Shen Yian looked at the jade-like comb in his hand and chuckled: "It's really a work of art. The craftsman who carved it must have put in a lot of effort."

"It was carved by my third son." The old woman's face was filled with pride.

"I want it." Shen Yian took out a few taels of broken silver and handed it to the old woman.

"Sir, you gave me too much!"

"Not much, it's worth the price."

"Thank you, sir!"

"Li Yan, do you like it?" Shen Yian put the comb in the silly girl's hand.

Ye Liyan's eyes were full of joy and shyness, and she nodded her head hard, almost shaking off the veil: "I like it."

No matter in the past life or in this world, the meaning of giving a comb is to make a lifelong commitment and grow old together.

Otherwise, how could the silly girl be so excited?

Gu Ruoyi watched from the side, holding the corners of her clothes tightly with her bare hands. Her heart felt empty for some reason, but her stomach was filled with a mysterious force.

"let's go."

Shen Yi'an smiled gently and didn't look at Gu Ruoyi twice during the whole process.

Ye Liyan nodded gently to Gu Ruoyi in return, and then left the hairpin stand with Shen Yian.

"Miss, miss? That young man has gone far away!"

Qiyun gently shook her hand in front of Gu Ruoyi to bring her back to her senses.

"Oh." Gu Ruoyi looked away and responded softly, looking disappointed.

From the beginning to the end, the young man seemed to have glanced at her...

"Miss? Do you have a crush on that young man?" Qiyun asked with a smile.

"No way." After her little thought was revealed, a blush appeared on Gu Ruoyi's face, and her shy and charming posture made all the men passing by look sideways.

"You girl, you teased me again, you deserve to be punished."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Miss, please pinch gently, Qiyun's little face will be swollen."

Cheng Hai passed by the hairpin stall and glanced at the two girls and couldn't help but frown.

Is the other party the daughter of Marquis Wu Cheng?

The person His Highness paid special attention to in the past two days was very good-looking, but there was nothing special about him.

Jinxiu and Jinlian looked at Gu Ruoyi with wide eyes.

Apart from their own young lady, this was the second time for the two of them to see a woman with such a peerless appearance. They were so envious!

In front, Shen Yian saw Ye Liyan seemed to be hesitant to speak and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "What? Are you thinking about that girl just now?"

Ye Liyan looked so silent, her little head must be full of random thoughts.

"Hmm... This is the first time Li Yan has seen such a beautiful girl with such a good temperament. I think she is a daughter of some family."

Ye Liyan clasped the buttons nervously with her little hands. She didn't go out often and often heard that there were four beauties in Tianwu City.

Grandpa always praised her for being a hundred times more beautiful than those four beauties. She knew that those were his words to comfort her.

Because of these pale blue eyes, when facing normal girls, the inferiority complex deep inside cannot be erased.

Especially when I met Gu Ruoyi today, that feeling of inferiority was infinitely amplified.

If His Highness had met Gu Ruoyi earlier, how could he have chosen himself, an ominous person...

"Are you sure this is your first time seeing her?" Shen Yian suddenly grabbed the silly girl's little hand and chuckled.

"Li Yan dare not deceive His Highness."

Ye Liyan quickly lowered his head.

"Silly girl, don't you usually look in the mirror?" Shen Yian's eyes were full of doting and distress. Those rumors seemed to have a profound impact on the silly girl's heart.

"Li Yan..."

Ye Liyan opened her mouth slightly, and her little brain couldn't figure out the meaning of these words for a while.

"You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen, and your eyes are also the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen, either before or now."

"You are my future princess, and I will not allow you to belittle yourself."

Shen Yian said those domineering words, but his fingers couldn't help but scratch the other's delicate and straight nose through the white gauze.

Ye Liyan wanted to take two steps back in shame, but her little hand was grabbed by the big hand and she couldn't move forward or back. She was so shy that she almost buried her little head in her chest. She thought over and over again, and finally retorted pitifully.

"Your Highness..."

"Li Yan...isn't stupid..."
