Gu Baozhu is about to turn fifteen years old. She has a pair of shining eyes, which seem to contain a clear spring, and her pink face is as rosy as the morning glow reflecting the snow. She is wearing a silver-red dress and stands gracefully under the lights, making her look charming and beautiful. .

Ji Shuo stood beside her. He was tall and slender. He had clear angular lines and a pair of narrow, dark eyes. There was a sharp light under the calm eyes. The black brocade robe made him imposing.

After five years in the forbidden palace, his youthfulness and vitality have faded away, and he has become a man of power who cannot distinguish between joy and anger, and is full of majesty and edge.

Gu Baozhu looked back at him and realized that the two of them were about the same height. In the past few years, he had grown very tall, and now she could only reach his shoulders.

"Go in." Ji Shuo lowered his eyes, looked at her raised face, and raised his chin slightly.

Gu Baozhu pursed her lips, lowered her head and entered the house.

Ji Shuo followed her slowly.

The two people appeared in the main room together.

Gu's mother saw the two people and came over in surprise: "Baozhu, Jingyun, it's so late, what are you doing here? I'm just going back to my hometown, and I will come back in the future."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came here to see you off." The coldness in Ji Shuo's eyes subsided, and there was a softer meaning in his eyes.

Gu Baozhu said to Gu's mother, "Mom, I'm going to find my sister-in-law."

"Your sister-in-law is in the kitchen."

Gu Baozhu nodded and went to the kitchen with ease. Through the small square window, she saw Su Wan busy in front of the stove. A faint smile appeared on her face involuntarily, and she walked in briskly: "Sister-in-law, I'm back."

"Hahaha, I told mother that you would come back, and I specially made your favorite food." Su Wan took the time to turn around and pointed to the pastries on the table: "Yam cake, your favorite food."

Gu Baozhu took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite. He rolled his eyes and showed a sweet smile: "You are the happiest when you eat food cooked by your sister-in-law every day."

Su Wan smiled and said, "Come out of the palace when you want to eat, and I will cook it for you."

Gu Baozhu didn't say anything, chewing slowly and finishing a piece of pastry.

Su Wan realized something was wrong, put the lid on the pot to simmer the food in the pot, walked up to her, looked at her worried look, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm going back to Xinghua Village with my mother." Gu Baozhu wiped the cake crumbs on her fingers with a handkerchief and lowered her slender eyelashes: "I used to be a playmate for my second brother, but now I'm about to have haircuts. It's long overdue." Coming out of the palace."

"It's time for you to get married. It's best to stay in the capital." Su Wan was not a person with low emotional intelligence. In fact, she had discovered something was wrong with Gu Baozhu as early as a year ago.

She suddenly moved out of the palace and returned home, saying that she had grown up and stayed in the palace to make people gossip. Within half a month, she was taken back to the palace by Jing Yun.

She happened to be in the house at that time. Gu Baozhu stayed at home and only took Jiaojiao out to go shopping. Otherwise, he would read books and practice calligraphy in the yard to become a female celebrity, hiding his worries.

Su Wan took the initiative to ask about it, but Gu Baozhu just smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't have any playmates in the palace. I'm used to being quiet, but I don't like the excitement."

Now that he was directly proposing to leave Beijing, Su Wan's idea became clearer, "You..."

Gu Baozhu seemed to realize what Su Wan was going to say and interrupted her: "Sister-in-law, even if I say we are going to marry each other, I am looking for someone from Xihe Town. The family is well-off and the population is simple, so that I can take care of my parents nearby."
