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

Chapter 170 Yurong Palace

After arriving at the palace gate, Gu Jingzhi got off the carriage first, and Li Xi bent down and stuck his head out of the carriage. Gu Jingzhi stretched out his hand, Li Xi looked at him, and without any hesitation, she put her hand on it and got off the carriage with his help.

After Li Xi stood still, the general's carriage left the palace gate.

Next we are going to enter the palace, but carriages are not allowed to enter.

"Let's go." Li Xi looked at Gu Jingzhi.

They arrived neither too late nor too early. People entering the palace began to arrive one after another at the palace gate, men and women, young and old, all kinds of people.

Gu Jingzhi's identity was there, and coupled with today's rumors and Li Xi beside him, people around were secretly looking at the two of them.

Especially many people were concerned about Li Xi. After all, the rumors about her and Gu Jingzhi did not disappear with time. In the days leading up to the banquet, the rumors had intensified. Naturally, they also wanted to see what this girl, who was called a bumpkin and a country girl in the rumors, looked like, so as to open their eyes.

Thinking of this, many people looked at Li Xi tacitly but excitedly.

But after seeing Li Xi, they felt a little disappointed. It was said that General Gu's fiancée was from the countryside, a country girl. They thought she must look rough, but they didn't expect that she was not the case.

Well, it looks pretty good.

Li Xi didn't know what they were thinking, otherwise she would have told them that this was a stereotype. Who said that country people must be vulgar?

Gu Jingzhi could also feel the gazes from people around him, but he was obviously used to everyone's eyes being focused on him, and he was also used to not caring.

Although Li Xi was not afraid of other people's gazes, the corners of her mouth still couldn't help twitching. This was too obvious. Few of them even used their peripheral vision. How could anyone not notice it when they were staring at her so blatantly?

She tugged at Gu Jingzhi's sleeve, smiled, lowered her head slightly and gritted her teeth, "If this look could kill, I'm afraid I would have died several times."

Especially the eyes of those little girls, they were like knives, whizzing like knives.

Gu Jingzhi and Li Xi followed the people entering the palace and walked along the palace road for a while. When they reached a fork in the road, men and women went their separate ways. All the female members, led by the palace maids, went to Yurong Palace to pay a visit to Concubine Wang.

"I'm leaving." Li Xi said.

Gu Jingzhi quickly glanced at the crowd, and after finding the wife of Marquis Weiyuan, he pulled Li Xi over.

"Aunt Li."

"Jingzhi!" Li Mingshu was originally looking for Gu Jingzhi. This child was the child of her old friend and she always treated him as her own son.

Jingzhi has been a stubborn, strong-willed and capable child since childhood. This is the first time he has asked her for help, so of course she will do her best.

"Is this your fiancée?" Li Mingshu's eyes lit up when he saw Li Xi next to Gu Jingzhi. This child is really pretty.

“Well, Aunt Li, this is my fiancée Li Xi.

Ah Xi, this is the wife of Marquis Weiyuan, you can just call her Aunt Li like me."

Just as Li Xi was about to speak, Aunt Li grabbed her hand and said in a tone of someone who had experienced it, "Good child, you are Jing Zhi's fiancée."

"Uh, probably, possibly, maybe, yeah."

"Good boy, there's nothing to be embarrassed about," Li Mingshu patted Li Xi's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry too much about other people's opinions. Life is like drinking water, and you know whether it's hot or cold.

Life is not lived for others to see, but for yourself to see."

Li Xi didn't expect that the wife of Marquis Weiyuan would actually say these words, but it was these two sentences that suddenly made Li Xi feel more favorable towards her.

Seeing that Gu Jingzhi was still standing beside Li Xi, Li Mingshu couldn't help but shook his head with amusement and looked at Gu Jingzhi with disdain, "What? You're not leaving yet, are you afraid that I'll lose your wife?"

Gu Jingzhi ignored Li Mingshu's joke and thanked her sincerely, "Thank you for your help today, Aunt Li."

Li Mingshu: "Okay, okay, I get it. You are so long-winded at such a young age. Go ahead. I will take Axi with me. See you at the banquet later."

Seeing Li Mingshu taking Li Xi away, Gu Jingzhi did not stay any longer and left in the direction of the crowd.

Li Mingshu obviously had a good impression of Li Xi, whom he had only met once, and he did not let go of her hand until now. "Ah Xi, I know that Jing Zhi cares about you a lot. He has never been so nice to a girl before. You are the first."

Li Xi believed what Li Mingshu said. She and Gu Jingzhi were each other's first love.

"I know." Li Xi said in a low voice.

Hearing her say this, Li Mingshu was stunned at first, then he couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, I'm leaving."

On the way to Yurong Palace, Li Mingshu and Li Xi had a very pleasant conversation.

"I really should let people outside come and see how interesting my niece-in-law is."

"I'm not as good as Aunt Li says. It's just that Aunt Li has a preference for me."

As they were talking, Li Mingshu and Li Xi had already followed the crowd into Yurong Palace. The courtyard of Yurong Palace was a riot of colour at the moment. Of course, in addition to the flowers placed in the courtyard, there were also the female relatives and young ladies who were more beautiful than the flowers.

Before, Li Xi followed Li Mingshu and was at the end of the team. Although she attracted some attention, it was not much. Now that she entered the yard, she naturally attracted a lot of curious eyes.

After all, Li Xi has been very popular outside these days and is a well-known figure.

There were many people who wanted to pick a fight with her today, but because of the wife of Marquis Weiyuan beside her, no one dared to act rashly. They could only watch Li Xi being dragged into the house by "Madam Weiyuan".

The identity of the wife of Marquis Weiyuan was there, and as soon as she entered, Concubine Wang gave her a seat, and Li Xi was also fortunate enough to sit next to her.

"Is this Jingzhi's fiancée?" asked Concubine Wang.

"Your Highness, it is me."

When Li Xi was speaking, many people around her glanced at her, as if to say, so this is Gu Jingzhi's fiancée from the countryside.

"Hey, she is Li Xi."

"It's her. She is indeed quite pretty."

"But it's just a few points."

"That's not important. Where did she buy the dress and jewelry? I want to buy them too."

Some were discussing Li Xi's appearance and identity, and some wanted to know where she bought her clothes and jewelry.

Li Xi just felt like a group of flies landed on his ears, buzzing, very annoying.
