Chapter 424: The Princess
It's the end of November, and the weather is already very cold. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The snow that had drifted all night last night, although the snow had long since stopped, and the yard had been cleaned by a special person, but standing outside, the cold breath was still extremely intimidating.
A thick curtain hangs down at the door of the flower hall, which not only isolates the cold outside, but also plays a certain role in sound insulation.
Seeing that the silver bottle was leading Gu Qing in the future, the two maids guarding the door lifted the curtain together.
A rush of heat rushed through the doorway, followed by a sudden louder noise.
"Princess Qiyu, the princess of Dingguo has arrived. A maid who was lifting the curtain raised inward.
Gu Qingwei couldn't help but glance at the maid.
Princess Duan was indeed very attentive to her birthday banquet, even an inconspicuous maid could recognize her identity at a glance, and she didn't know how much effort Princess Duan had put in behind her back.
Hearing the maid's report, the laughter in the flower hall was quiet at first, and then immediately became more lively.
Gu Qingwei was led into the flower hall by the silver bottle.
The flower hall is very extensive, but because the doors and windows are tightly closed, and there are several braziers inside, the temperature is one day and one place compared to the outside.
Gu Qingwei was served by Qiu Lan and the painting screen to take off the crane he was wearing outside, and walked through the front compartment again, and saw Princess Duan Wen surrounded by several female dependents, a lively scene.
Seeing that Gu Qing did not come in, Princess Duan took the lead in standing up, and several other female dependents also got up.
"I've seen Princess Duan, Princess Ning......" Out of the corner of her eye, Gu Qingwei glanced at the person sitting on the side who was looking at her, was slightly stunned, and then said, "Princess Yongchang." ”
Although he didn't show it, Gu Qingwei was really surprised to see Princess Yongchang here.
Princess Ning is just that, although King Duan and King Ning almost fought for the dragon chair, but after all, the two still maintain the surface harmony, Princess Duan's birthday, Princess Ning's concubine is also very common.
Princess Ke Yongchang ......
Princess Yongchang has been living in seclusion since the horse is gone, and she has not been seen out of the princess's mansion several times a year.
Moreover, Gu Qingwei has not forgotten, because she found out about the ugly affair between Chu Chengqi and Princess Yongchang, Concubine Liu Xian wanted to calculate her at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet last time, Concubine Liu Xian already knew about Princess Yongchang and Chu Chengqi, it stands to reason that Princess Yongchang should be more low-key and restrained, how could she appear in Duanwangfu at this time?
I don't know if it's an illusion, Gu Qingwei always feels that Princess Yongchang has been looking at her since she entered the door.
Even if you look at it, it's been too long.
Before Gu Qing could come up with a reason, Princess Duan Wen had already reached out to help her up, and then took her arm and led her inside.
"It's all your own family, you still have to call me a cousin-in-law, why are you so polite?" Princess Duan's voice was just like her surname, gentle and atmospheric.
Standing next to Princess Duan is Princess Ning's Gan.
King Duan and King Ning have to compete for each other in all aspects, and Princess Duan and Princess Ning naturally cannot really be a pair of concubines who love each other.
No, Princess Duan's words fell, and Princess Ning also smiled and said to Gu Qingwei: "Cousin, today you just treat this as an ordinary family banquet, don't bring any differences between monarchs and ministers to our concubines." ”
Obviously he is a guest, but he said it in the tone of a host.
Gu Qingwei thought that he didn't hear the rivalry, and only smiled and said to Princess Duan and Princess Ning: "Since the two princesses have said so, then I am really welcome, and the two cousins-in-law should not pick on my courtesy when the time comes." ”
After being pulled down by Princess Duan, Gu Qingwei had time to look at everyone in the hall.
Princess Duan, as the protagonist of today, wore a red skirt, a black hair with a phoenix bead, and a peony flower on her forehead, lining the smile on her face, which only made people feel graceful and luxurious.
Princess Ning on the side was dressed up in the slightest.
On the purple cloisonné jacket, the collar and skirt are embroidered with gold thread lifelike plum, so that people can almost smell a cold fragrance when they see it, and with a carefully depicted and bright face, as well as the phoenix hairpin in the hair, without anyone to introduce, it can also let people who meet for the first time know that she must be noble.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, Princess Duan and Princess Ning both wore phoenix-shaped hair ornaments on their heads.
If Princess Ning is dressed up flamboyantly, Gu Qingwei can still understand, then Princess Yongchang's dress that is eager to steal the limelight of Princess Duan makes her a little incomprehensible.
Going to other people's homes as guests and not stealing the limelight of the master's house is a rule that most people know, but Princess Yongchang, a person who lives in a simple place, not only came to Duanwangfu, but also dressed up so flamboyantly, what is she doing this for?
Gu Qing didn't think it through, but he was afraid that Princess Duan, the master, couldn't figure it out.
In addition to these people, there were also several daughters-in-law of the royal family sitting in the flower hall, and Gu Qingwei also greeted them one by one.
After talking to Princess Duan and the others for a while, a maid led Chu Yannan in.
Untie the crane and let the maid hold it, Chu Yannan nodded and said hello to Princess Duan and the others, and then sat down beside Gu Qingwei by himself, and then turned his head sideways and whispered to Gu Qingwei.
"Cousin-in-law, your third brother is also fast enough, it's only been a few days, how can you get the tassel?" Chu Yannan blinked a little hurriedly.
Gu Qingwei raised his hand and patted Chu Yannan's arm, "What you said, if outsiders listen to it, they may think that something happened to the tassel." ”
Chu Yannan also knew that there was something wrong with what he said, so he didn't distinguish it, so he only lowered his voice more and more, "Isn't this just talking to you." ”
Gu Qingwei was about to speak, when he saw a woman sitting not far from them, a woman about twenty-five or sixteen years old stopped talking for a long time, and finally opened her mouth, "County Lord, I don't know why Miss Ye didn't come today?"
Everyone in the capital knows that a pair of pearls in the capital is an intimate handkerchief.
However, the woman's tone always sounded a little strange.
Gu Qingwei couldn't help but look at the woman.
If she remembers correctly, Princess Fang Caiduan introduced that this woman was the young lady of the Liu family.
The Liu family, of course, is the Liu family of Concubine Liu Xian's mother's family.
This woman's surname is Yao, and she is the main wife of Concubine Liu Xian's brother's only son, and she is also Liu Fengjiao's sister-in-law.
Gu Qingwei had noticed her before because the Yao family raised her eyes to look at the door from time to time, but now that she thinks about it, the reason why she keeps looking at the door is actually waiting for Ye Tassel?
Thinking of Concubine Liu Xian, Gu Qingwei couldn't help frowning.
Chu Yannan glanced at Yao's and was about to speak, but was pressed by Gu Qingwei's hand. (To be continued.) )
