Chapter Forty-Eight: The Twilight Banquet (Part II)

Back in the flower hall, Xiao Huaiyue pulled Gu Yanling to sit in a clean place and talk, and from time to time he would mention these noble girls around him, Gu Yanjin listened carefully, secretly remembering the identities of the people around him, but Gu Yanchao sat absent-mindedly on the side, although he wanted to leave, he couldn't find a reason, and he didn't know which direction to meet the person he wanted to see.

At this moment, Gu Yanling's rather soft voice sounded in Gu Yanling's ears.

"Eldest sister, who is that girl?"

Xiao Huaiyue and Gu Yanling followed Gu Yanjin's gaze together, and saw a girl wearing a fiery red Luo skirt and dressed as a glamorous crowd coming in surrounded by the crowd, with her chin held high, and the corners of her lips were flying proudly, with a kind of flamboyant beauty that could not be ignored.

Xiao Huaiyue's expression was a little indescribable, but Gu Yanling, her lips hooked slightly, and she spit out a sentence lightly.

"The only daughter of the county lord of Weiyang, Chu Yining. ”

Gu Yanjin thought for a while, and then chatted with Xiao Huaiyue enthusiastically: "That's Sister Yue's cousin." ”

Xiao Huaiyue smiled lightly, only responded slightly, and did not continue the topic, which immediately extinguished Gu Yanjin's desire to talk.

Gu Yanling's lips were slightly raised on the side, but Gu Yanjin was blamed for this was the first time to go to the banquet, and he didn't know the relationship. Others don't know, but she knows that Chu Yining, the granddaughter of Chengbei Wangfu, and Xiao Huaiyue, the granddaughter, have a bad relationship.

The reason is just that Xiao Huaiyue doesn't like Chu Yining relying on the fandom of Chengbei Wangfu, and Chu Yining is jealous of Xiao Huaiyue's identity as a concubine.

But in a moment, the crowd became lively again, and when they heard the sound, they saw that a girl wearing a purple palace skirt, holding her hair in a bun, and looking a little cold and arrogant, came from the maid with the support of the maid and wore a flower willow.

Suddenly, many girls in the flower hall had come forward to greet them enthusiastically, but the girl's expression was always faint. Chu Yining, who was originally holding the moon with stars, was suddenly ignored by everyone, and when he turned his head, he looked at the people behind him with resentment.

Gu Yanling turned her head and saw Xiao Huaiyue who had a headache, and couldn't help laughing, but she knew what Xiao Huaiyue's headache was.

The two famous rivals in the capital are considered to have gotten together.

I saw that the girl in the palace costume was in shape when she passed by Chu Yining, and glanced at Chu Yining very casually from the bottom up, and then said sarcastically: "I just saw it from a distance, and I thought I had lit a red lantern in broad daylight." ”

As soon as the words came out, even if a girl couldn't hold back her chuckle, Chu Yining was about to have a seizure as soon as she heard it.

Xiao Huaiyue saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward, Gu Yanling saw it, and followed closely behind, and gave the girl a salute with Xiao Huaiyue.

"The county lord. ”

The girl turned her head coldly and glanced at Gu Yanling and the others, and then she said a faint "um".

"The old ancestor is still chattering, if the county lord comes, he will invite him to the inner room to talk. ”

Xiao Huaiyue is different from Chu Yining, in the end, she is the granddaughter of King Chengbei, so the county lord of Pingyi still has to give Xiao Huaiyue some face, nodded slightly and said, "There is the county lord of Lao." ”

Xiao Huaiyue and Gu Yanling exchanged glances, and then led Xiao Ling, the county lord of Pingyi, to the inner room.

Chu Yining stood there with an angry face, surrounded by stammering girls on the side, Gu Yanling shook his head, turned around and walked towards the place where there were few people, Gu Yanjin on the side lowered his voice and asked, "Eldest sister, which county lord is that?"

Gu Yanling turned his head and glanced at Gu Yanjin, who was waiting for an answer, and then swept Gu Yanchao, who was here, and his heart was not here.

Which one has a success and which one does not, you can see it at a glance.

Gu Yanling also talked to Gu Yanjin seriously.

"That's the only daughter of today's eldest princess Zhaomao, the lord of Pingyi. ”

When Gu Yanjin heard this, he immediately understood that the eldest princess Zhaomao was the sister of the current emperor's mother, so the identity of this Pingyi county lord was precious.

……

About half a time later, the banquet officially opened in the palace, Gu Yanling sat at the table closest to Princess Chengbei and Mrs. Shizi because of the Xie family, and Gu Yanjin and Gu Yanchao were divided into another table.

In Gu Yanchao's jealous gaze, Gu Yanling was extremely indifferent, just swept the table he was in, and couldn't help but feel the same headache as Xiao Huaiyue beside him.

Only the county lord of Pingyi and Chu Yining were at the same table, and they were destined not to be calm.

Gu Yanling only pretended not to notice the open and secret battles between you and me on the table, and gracefully sandwiched her favorite with chopsticks, and at this moment, she looked up and met a girl's gentle smile.

Gu Yanling smiled back, her mind clearly remembered that the gentle and polite girl in front of her was the eldest granddaughter of Xu Ge Lao, who wrote well, and was the first talented woman in Jingling in the world, Xu Chengjun.

Gu Yanling is not very familiar with this girl, but her grandfather Xu Ge Lao, Gu Yanling is very clear, not only a cunning old fox, but also a ruthless conspiracy politician.

Because of this, Gu Yanling couldn't help but have a somewhat alienated attitude towards this Xu Chengjun.

finally used up the banquet, Xiao Huaiyue, as the host, couldn't just talk to Gu Yanling, so Xiao Huaiyue was called by the county lord's wife to the front hall to entertain the female relatives, and Gu Yanling found a pavilion to be quiet.

Gu Yanchao didn't want to be with Gu Yanling, Gu Yanling was also lazy to deal with it, so he let her go, Gu Yanjin followed Gu Yanling in the pavilion and said a conversation, and also got up to find convenience.

Gu Yanling glanced at Gu Yanjin's figure walking away, thought for a moment, and then took his gaze back and enjoyed the scenery in the garden.

And Gu Yanjin, who pushed away, walked out of the sight of the crowd, and sure enough, he saw Gu Yanchao who was hesitant not far from the stone bridge.

Glancing coldly at the figures of several handsome young men on the bridge, Gu Yanjin hooked his lips and walked towards Gu Yanchao.

"The fourth sister is so interested, enjoying the scenery here alone. ”

Gu Yanchao turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw Gu Yanjin who was smiling, he couldn't help frowning, and then turned his head arrogantly and said, "What do you have to do with it?"

Gu Yanjin was not angered by this, but smiled deeper, leaned into Gu Yanchao's ear, glanced at the young man on the bridge, and whispered as if jokingly: "I just don't know, the fourth sister is looking at the scene, or the person in the scene." ”

Gu Yanchao's cheeks flushed slightly when he heard the sound, followed Gu Yanjin's gaze, and instantly turned around and pretended to be angry: "What do you want to say!"

Gu Yanjin stood up straight with a smile, playing with the handkerchief in his hand, and looked at Gu Yanchao with a pair of calm eyes: "I just want the fourth sister to get what she wants and marry a wishful young man, what is my sister doing when she is angry?"

Gu Yanchao glanced at Gu Yanjin coldly: "You will be so kind?"

Gu Yanjin chuckled lightly, and then said seriously: "No matter what happens between you and my sisters, in the eyes of outsiders, you and I are one, if my sister can find someone with a noble status to marry, it will naturally be good for the marriage of our other sisters, since it is a good thing, why don't I want to?"

Gu Yanchao looked at Gu Yanjin with slight eyes, wanting to see something, but Gu Yanjin did not evade it, and said more seriously: "Although I am not familiar with the prince of Fengguo, but according to the name of the prince of Jingling, my sister will not be bad if she marries in the past, and besides, I just saw that the prince is quite different from my sister, this is really a good thing, and my sister should seize the opportunity." ”
