Chapter 184: Everywhere We Meet
"Forget it, let's just get what we come. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
And in the end, Liang Cheng could only say this to Nian Xiang, anyway, since there are some things that can't be figured out, let's put it aside for the time being, otherwise the final result can only be to force myself into the horns and never get out again.
"Yes."
However, compared to Liang Cheng, Nian Xiang has to let go a little more, after Liang Cheng finished speaking, Nian Xiang's original worries were really put aside temporarily, but instead poured a glass of Songmeng for Liang Cheng again, and then took the cold cup away.
After Princess Changping also arrived, after everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, the banquet officially began, and a plate of exquisite and luxurious delicacies and wine was served by the palace maids.
At this time, it was only the beginning of the banquet, and everyone was just talking shallowly, eating between laughter and laughter, and everyone was waiting for the main drama to start after the banquet.
However, during this period, that is, when everyone was still eating, Princess Changping suddenly mentioned several times that the Confucian scholars took turns to give lectures in the current Taixue.
Although this matter is not new in Jian'an, its nature is extremely important, after all, this is a grand event held by several great Confucians, including the Shen family Yi Yuan, although this grand event is just an irresistible temptation for students in the world, and for ordinary people, it is just a general.
But the root of this matter is the great importance of matters related to the pillars of the imperial court and the reserve of talents, so whenever Princess Changping mentioned it, the others responded very cooperatively.
After all, who knows, will this be Emperor Wen using Princess Changping to test their reaction?
And even if Princess Changping's words are just casual talk, there is no shadow of Emperor Wen in it, but if she doesn't perform well, when will Her Royal Highness the princess accidentally say so lightly in front of Emperor Wen, then won't she and her family be "remembered" by Emperor Wen like this? Therefore, everyone now highly respects and praises the fact that the great Confucians in Taixue take turns to give lectures.
However, except for Liang Ming, whose complexion has become a little strange.
Because whenever Princess Changping talked about this, she not only praised Shen Yunlang again and again, but also always looked at Liang Cheng intentionally or unintentionally. If Liang Cheng couldn't see that this was very wrong, then she could really leave the palace and return home as soon as possible.
Otherwise, I can't say, the next moment she will be led by Princess Changping's nose openly, and she will go directly into the trap that others have set up.
It's just that Princess Changping has been mentioning Taixue Da Confucian's lectures and second uncle all the time, what is it for? Could it be that you just want to make her worry and be afraid, or just want to disgust and disgust her?
Wouldn't that be too naΓ―ve?
Liang Cheng took advantage of the leisure of holding the teacup, lowered her head and thought for a while, but in the end, she put down the Songmeng tea in her hand with a calm expression, and when Princess Changping looked over intentionally or unintentionally, Liang Cheng still had the spare time to smile back at the other party. Although there was not much smile in the smile, it still made Princess Changping's originally smiling face suddenly stiffen.
This guy is too much, and I dare to be so fearless on my territory. Why, could it be that she really thinks I don't dare to touch her? Princess Changping was so angry that the roots of her teeth itched, if it weren't for her good concentration, then the female officials and palace maids beside Princess Changping at this time could already hear the sound of grinding their teeth.
"Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is over, and it doesn't make much sense to sit here at this time, so why don't I go to the garden first to watch the golden rui flowing in this garden." Princess Changping took her eyes back from Liang Cheng with difficulty, and then her beautiful face returned to grace and luxury, and said to everyone with a smile.
And since Princess Changping has spoken, there are really few people here who dare to say no, so everyone naturally echoes loudly.
"Miss, are we together?" But Nian Xiang asked Liang Cheng in a low voice when everyone else was busy echoing Princess Changping.
"No, I'll say I'm not feeling well, so we'll not go, stay here." Liang Cheng shook her head and said, she didn't know what Princess Changping wanted to do again, but since she had a reason not to go, how could she not use it.
Therefore, when Princess Changping took the lead in getting up and walking to the path leading to the garden next to her, everyone else followed, including Zhong Qing, and for a while, only the palace maids and chamberlains who were in charge of this place and Liang Cheng were left at the banquet.
Liang Cheng had already made up her mind not to leave the guards sent to her by her mother, but if she accompanied Princess Changping to visit the garden, the guards and maids would have to stay here, after all, this is the Crying Palace, how can you let people walk around at will?
So Liang Cheng never planned to leave here since the beginning, anyway, no one here can force her, just now when Princess Changping learned that Liang Cheng sent someone to say that she was unwell, so she didn't go with them, Princess Changping just snorted coldly again, and didn't say anything.
That Liang Cheng didn't care how weird it would be for her to be alone at the banquet at this time, so she continued to sip tea by herself.
"Why are you alone?"
However, the sudden sound made Liang Cheng eager to lift the corner of her skirt and hurriedly catch up with Princess Changping and her party. Why is your luck always like this? Originally, everything was arranged, and it was also the most reasonable arrangement, how did it get to her side, but in the end, there was always such an accident?
Liang Cheng had a bitter face, her back stiffened, and when the owner of the voice just now walked to her side, Liang Cheng didn't turn around, only to hear the man's laughing voice continue to sound, "Miss Liang San, long time no see." β
"Okay, long time no see, Chu Gu Gongzi." Liang Cheng finally had to get up and salute the person beside her, Chu Gu! How could Chu Gu be here, Liang Cheng looked at the smiling young man in front of him, his face was not obvious, but his heart was turbulent.
In fact, just now, Liang Cheng was not without all the people who came to the banquet to look for Chu Gu's figure, but when she finally found that there was no one she was worried about, Liang Cheng was really relieved.
It is also for this reason that Liang Cheng sat alone in the garden, but now the arrival of Chu Gu made Liang Cheng understand what it means to be smart, and made her desperate to chase Princess Changping and her party, but this is really just a thought.
Liang Cheng was extremely annoyed in her heart, but she couldn't show anything between her expressions, so she had to vent on the Jinpa in her hand, Chu Gu could already see it very clearly, and it was about to be twisted into an innocent Jinpa.
"Where's Changping?" Chu Gu couldn't help but smile and asked.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Changping has just gone to the garden with the others, if Chu Gu Gongzi wants to find Her Royal Highness the Princess, then you have to hurry over now, otherwise you may miss it with Her Royal Highness the Princess." Although the Qixiao Hall is not the layout of the main palace, whether it is the main hall or the auxiliary hall, or the furnishings and arrangements of the east and west gardens and side halls, they are almost the same as the main palace, so if Princess Changping and her party go away, it will not be so easy to find them in such a wide garden.
Therefore, as soon as Chu Gu's words were finished, Liang Cheng rekindled her hope, and hurriedly explained to Chu Gu where Princess Changping had gone now, and immediately suggested to Chu Gu very earnestly.
As for Chu Gu's current identity, she should have been the junior of Princess Changping, and she shouldn't have been called by her name at all, and she should have done such a very rude thing, but after Liang Cheng heard it, she didn't have any strange reaction at all, and even acted as a matter of course.
It seems that Chu Gu should call Princess Changping like this, and on the contrary, Liang Cheng's tone is naturally as if Princess Changping is Chu Gu's junior.
However, even if this is not the case, it is almost the same, because Chu Gu is not the younger generation of Princess Changping, and their age is not much different, and Liang Cheng knows that under the intention of Concubine Meng, the relationship between Chu Gu and Princess Changping is more intimate than that of other princes and princesses.
Although the current Chu Gu and Princess Changping are far from being as close to sister and brother as they were many years later, they are not bad, so when she heard Chu Gu call Princess Changping's name, she didn't feel strange at all.
But Liang Cheng didn't think it was strange, but when Chu Gu looked at Liang Cheng who looked so natural, a streamer flashed in his eyes, and he was immediately amused by her impatient tone.
"Oh, Changping went to the garden, I was late, but why didn't Miss Liang San go with me?"
Chu Gu's red lips, which were as bright as flowers, bent slightly, and the moist light pierced Liang Cheng hurriedly removed his gaze from looking at him, turned his head to look at the flowers next to him and replied: "I was going to go together, but I suddenly felt a little unwell, so I couldn't go to the garden together." β
When facing Chu Gu, as soon as Liang Cheng lied, he would think that if he was discovered in the future, would he also regard this as one of his deceptions? If that's the case, then isn't she just a bamboo basket that is empty?
It's really that the fire in her memory is too unforgettable, so for Chu Gu, Liang Cheng always can't help but be a little afraid, although she has tried to restrain herself, but the effect is not very good.
"Miss Liang San is unwell? That's really bad, but Imperial Doctor Li happens to be nearby, why don't I send someone to ask him to come over and treat the third lady now?" β
Chu Gu was very concerned about what he said, but Liang Cheng was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then quietly glared at Chu Gu's lotus purple fine cloud brocade boots with some embarrassment, and said: "Thank you Chu Gu Gongzi for your concern, but I have no major problems now, so I don't need to bother Imperial Doctor Li to come over." By the way, aren't you looking for Her Royal Highness Princess Changping? Then it's better to hurry over, otherwise it won't be good to miss it for a while. β
Liang Cheng saw that the topic was getting farther and farther away, and Chu Gu didn't have to leave yet, so she hurriedly mentioned Princess Changping again, hoping that he would leave quickly.
But Chu Gu looked at the girl in front of him who was so embarrassed that her ears were red, and the curvature on her red lips became bigger and bigger, "I've only arrived now, but Changping has already set off, and if I want to chase it at this time, I'm afraid I've already missed it." β
"No, no, Princess Changping just left........."
Liang Cheng still wanted to persuade again, but when she looked at Chu Gu's jade-like eyes looking at her, and the smiles flashing in her eyes were almost about to overflow, she subconsciously shut up, and she was weak and directly broke off and wanted to fool him about his will to leave again.
Comparing himself and Chu Gu with scheming, it was really a bit too self-sufficient, Liang Cheng looked at the light in the eyes of the young man opposite, and did not try to make more jokes to make him happy, but pursed his lips, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Chu Gu's eyes were even more interested, he looked at Liang Cheng and stopped talking, and he was not in a hurry, he just laughed softly: "Everyone is gone, isn't it boring for Miss Liang San to stay here alone?" β
"Uh, no." Liang Cheng didn't know what Chu Gu meant by asking, but after thinking about it, she still decided to say: "Presumably Chu Gu also knows that I haven't been in good health since I was a child, and it has long been a habit to stay alone. β
Liang Cheng's body has been much weaker than others since she was a child, and it is common for her to take medicine and recuperate for many years, and she can't go anywhere if she stays in the room from morning to night, and if it weren't for the days after Qingzhu was transferred to Xiaoyunyao by her mother, she has always been accompanied by Qingjiao, then she knows that maybe the time she stays alone will only be infinitely longer.
So being alone is one of the things that Liang Cheng is most accustomed to, so how can there be boredom? If she couldn't get used to this kind of boredom, she might not be able to stand it a long time ago, and there would be something later.
Liang Cheng's mood was suddenly a little low, but Chu Gu obviously didn't even want to give her the time to be depressed, because the young man was changing his voice, the low and hoarse voice burst out with laughter, "Miss Liang San may not be bored, but don't mind walking with me, let's go to Changping together." β
Mind me! Liang Cheng really wanted to answer Chu Gu like this, and she also wanted to tell him that she was actually not very compatible with Princess Changping.
But after being quiet for a while, she only pursed her lips again, and only after a while did she raise her eyes again to look at Chu Gu and said: "Prince Chu Gu, when I entered the palace for a banquet today, my mother told me that the palace city is vast, and you must not walk around casually, otherwise if you get lost and bump into a nobleman, it will not be good." That's why my mother told me not to leave the guards in the house casually. (To be continued.) )
