This movement has attracted the attention of many people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Gu Wanning closed the car door and put the curtain again, blocking the eyes of many peeps, and then looked at Luo Zhixuan with a smile: "Sister Luo, we haven't seen each other for more than a month!"

Luo Zhixuan said angrily: "It's a whole month and three days. ”

"Our two families are only separated by the walled courtyard, and it is most convenient to talk to each other. If you don't come to me, I want to go to you. But my mother didn't let me go to the door of your Hou Mansion, saying that it was just three years after the death of Gu Houye, and you had just come out of the filial piety period, so it was inconvenient for me to come to the door. They kept me at home. ”

Gu Wanning smiled apologetically: "It's me who is not good." These days, there are guests in the house, and I forget to talk to you for a while. ”

It stands to reason that since the guests were mentioned, Shen Qinglan should be introduced to Luo Zhixuan by the way.

Gu Wanning didn't say a word, and quickly opened the topic: "I haven't been out for more than a month, and I don't know if there are any new and interesting things recently?"

Luo Zhixuan was secretly surprised in her heart.

Of course, Gu Wanqi and Yao Ruozhu were familiar to her, but the girl sitting opposite was an unfamiliar face.

That slender and beautiful face is exactly the same as that of the Marquis of Dingbei, Shen. You don't have to think much to guess the identity of this girl. It must be Shen's maiden niece.

It is said that the niece Aunt Xiao, but this cousin of the Shen family is so similar to the Shen family that it is simply too similar......

Although Gu Wanning is arrogant, he is never rude. I deliberately skimmed this cousin today and didn't mention it, obviously disgusted with this cousin.

Since this is the case, she should also assume that she didn't see Shen Qinglan.

A series of thoughts flashed through Luo Zhixuan's mind.

Luo Zhixuan said with a smile: "Speaking of which, there is really a new and lively thing. I heard that the crown princess will hold a flower-viewing banquet on the second day of the next month, and invite some Beijing ladies to the banquet. I don't know which lady can receive the invitation from the princess!"

Cherry blossom feast......

Gu Wanning's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled casually: "Why did the crown princess suddenly think of holding a flower viewing banquet?"

Luo Zhixuan squeezed her eyes at Gu Wanning: "Do you still need to ask?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Gu Wanqi, who was sitting on the side, was confused when she heard this, and stretched her neck to ask: "What is it for!" Second sister, why don't you and Sister Luo stop talking halfway?"

She was dying of death!

Shen Qinglan, who had been completely ignored, was originally quite annoyed in her heart, and she couldn't help but prick up her ears at this time.

I heard Luo Zhixuan laugh in a low voice: "His Royal Highness Taisun is fifteen this year, and he has not yet decided on a family matter. At this time, the princess set up a flower-viewing banquet and invited the daughter of the famous family to go to the prince's mansion, in order to see the grandson. ”

Gu Wanqi suddenly realized: "It turned out that the crown princess wanted to pick a daughter-in-law!"

Under the excitement, the voice couldn't help but be a little louder.

Yao Ruozhu hurriedly tugged at Gu Guanqi's sleeve and reminded in a low voice: "Cousin Guanqi, your voice is quieter, we are talking about nobles here, don't be heard." ”

Gu Wanqi knew that she was reckless, and immediately lowered her voice: "According to you, who can receive the invitation from the crown princess?"

is a disguised selection of the princess, and there are very few ladies in the capital who are qualified to go to the banquet.

The age should be appropriate, the family background should be matched, and the talent should be outstanding. Looking at the capital, the famous ladies who meet these three conditions add up to only a dozen people.

Gu Guanqi is too young, and she is a concubine. Yao Ruozhu's family background is not obvious. Neither was clearly among them.

The Dingbei Hou Mansion is qualified to receive the invitation, and only Gu Wanning is alone.

And Luo Zhixuan, whose father is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, is a dignified and second-class high-ranking official, and has a clean reputation. Luo Zhixuan herself is also quite outstanding in appearance, and she is qualified to go to the banquet.

Luo Zhixuan knew it in her heart, but she refused to say it directly: "I don't dare to speculate about this." ”

deliberately joked Gu Wanning again: "However, no matter how harsh the conditions for this banquet are, Sister Gu will definitely receive an invitation." It is estimated that within four or five days, the invitation from the Prince's Mansion will be delivered to the Hou Mansion. ”

The Dingbei Hou Mansion is the top general in Great Qin, and Gu Wanning, as the concubine of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, of course has the qualifications to compete for the princess. What's more, Gu Guanning's complexion is charming and dazzling, and a number of famous ladies have come to her, only gloomy.

Gu Wanning has never been too humble, because she has enough proud capital. Wen Yan smiled faintly: "It seems that when the time comes, I will have to go to the Prince's Mansion to open my eyes." ”

Listen to this indifferent tone.

Look at her calm look.

When it comes to the Prince's Mansion, it's as easy as going to your own back garden.

Those who are as confident as Luo Zhixuan can only bow down in front of her: "Sister Gu, I have never served anyone in my life, but I admire you and me." ”

As he spoke, he hugged his fists solemnly.

The crowd was amused.

Gu Wanning also pursed his lips and laughed.

……

In her previous life, she also received an invitation to the flower viewing banquet. However, at that time, she was concerned about the prince of Qi and did not want to go to the banquet of the princess with ulterior motives.

Two days before the banquet, she was "sick". Just missed this banquet.

She also heard a lot of gossip about the flower viewing banquet later.

At this time, although the grandson was a little weaker, he was fine.

Not to mention that Taisun is naturally smart and unforgettable, just because of his incomparably noble identity, wanting to marry his beautiful daughter is like crossing the river.

It's a pity that at the end of this year, the grandson suddenly had a serious illness and has been bedridden since then. The girls who originally intended to be the princess also retreated.

No matter how noble the status of the princess is, she can't marry a sick son who doesn't know how long she can live! If the grandson doesn't survive and returns to the west, he will have to be widowed for the rest of his life.

Of course, even if the grandson only has one breath left, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to marry a daughter-in-law. The ladies of the noble families are reluctant to marry, and the families with lower official positions are still willing to give up a daughter in order to have a relationship with the prince's mansion.

In order to make the crown princess happy, the princess didn't care about her family background or anything like that, she just wanted to choose one with good health and good looks.

The grandson was resolutely unwilling to get married. said to the princess: "I don't know how long I can live, why delay a girl's lifelong happiness." If my mother really cares for me, let me recuperate with peace of mind. If I get better, I'll take a wife. If I don't get better, I'll be gone. Otherwise, even if I go under the Yellow Spring, I will feel guilty and uneasy. ”

When the crown princess heard this, she burst into tears and couldn't stop crying.

After that, the crown princess stopped thinking about it and never mentioned it again.

I don't know who came out of these words. For a while, it was for the sick grandson to gain a good reputation in the hearts of the boudoir girls.
