Chapter 83: The Great Banquet of the Prince's Mansion (4)
Three days later. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Guogong Mansion is full of people, and there are many luxurious carriages parked outside the door.
The entire front yard was full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and there were more people who gave gifts and congratulated each other, and even His Majesty sent people to send grand congratulatory gifts.
As the daughter of the Tang family, Tang Wan naturally came in person, and also brought the third prince who was only three years old.
Gu Xiao stood still and didn't move, she looked at it from a distance, and the smiling beauty couldn't help but be a little stupid.
Everyone said that the four princesses were the first beauties in the capital, but she looked at Tang Wan more than twice as beautiful as her.
It's not because the fourth princess is her rival in love that she denies her beauty, but Tang Wan is indeed more beautiful than the fourth princess in her opinion.
Maybe it's because of the difference in personal aesthetics, compared to Tang Wan's gentle beauty, she doesn't like the arrogant beauty of the fourth princess very much.
Looking at Tang Wan, and thinking of Emperor Xuan's favor for her, she suddenly remembered one of the three songs of Li Bai's "Qingping Tune": "Famous flowers love the country, and the king often laughs at it." Explain that the spring breeze is infinitely hateful, and Shen Xiangting leans on the north of the Gangan. ”
Such a beautiful, gentle and dignified beauty, no wonder Emperor Xuan fell in love with her.
……
The picture of the mother and daughter meeting is always indispensable to touching plots.
Those female dependents, after asking the old lady and Tang Wan and the third prince for gifts, all withdrew from the pavilion and left the space to the people of the Tang family.
"Come, Xia'er, I've seen your great-grandmother and your grandmother." Tang Wan pushed the third prince out of suspicion with a red eye.
"Xia Er has seen her great-grandmother, her grandmother!"
"Good, good!"
The eldest lady choked up with red eyes and said three words, while the old lady hugged the third prince with a smile.
"It's all great-grandmother's, and I haven't been able to see Xia Er in person!"
"What did Grandmother say? Xia Er knows that you are unwell, he will not blame you, Xia Er said, right? ”
The third prince nodded obediently, and said in a milky voice: "The mother concubine often says that the health of the grandmother and great-grandmother is not good, and they can't come to see Xia'er, and Xia'er doesn't blame you!" ”
"Ouch! What a good boy! The old lady smiled again and hugged the third prince in her arms.
"Come, Xia'er, this is Auntie."
"Xia Er has seen her aunt."
The second lady smiled and took out a gift box from the side.
"I knew that the third prince was coming, so I ordered someone to prepare a small gift."
"Thank you, Auntie!" The three princes obediently took the gift.
"Second aunt, you're too polite!"
Zhou smiled gently, "What did the concubine say, I haven't been to Beijing to see the third prince for so many years, and I should give some small gifts." ”
"Why didn't you see Sister Li'er today?" Tang Wan looked around and asked.
"I guess I'm going to play with Miss Gu."
Tang Wan nodded, but didn't ask who Miss Gu was.
"Mother's body is all right?"
Seeing that the eldest lady's face was ruddy, not as pale and dull as it was at that time, Tang Wan's heart was also much relieved.
The eldest lady nodded, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, all right, thanks to Xiaoxiao's girl." ”
Tang Wan was stunned, "Xiaoxiao? ”
Seeing that when her mother talked about this Xiaoxiao, the corners of her eyes were full of smiles, Tang Wan couldn't help but be a little curious, what kind of girl is that Xiaoxiao?
"She, I heard that Princess Xiaoyao and the fifth princess are coming, maybe she is accompanying Princess Xiaoyao and the fifth princess, and I will bring her to you in a while."
"Oh? She also knows the princess of the Escape? Tang Wan was surprised, and she wanted to know more and more in her heart, what that woman looked like.
"When I was in Fucheng, the prince and the princess lived in the mansion, Xiaoxiao has a good temperament, and she can talk to people, you will be happy to see her."
Tang Wan chuckled and teased: "Look at her mother's high opinion of her, she should be a good woman, it is better to let Jing'er marry her." ”
The old lady coughed lightly, "Hmm~ Gu girl is good, but her status is lower, and she is afraid that it will be inappropriate to be Jing'er's wife." ”
"Low status? This is easy to solve, isn't her relationship with Princess Xiaoyao good? Let the princess accept her as a sister-in-law. ”
Although Tang Wan has lived in the harem for many years, because she has always been protected by Emperor Xuan, her temperament has not changed much, but she is somewhat similar to the eldest lady.
"Then you have to agree with the princess, right? How can you just talk about it? ”
The old lady was a little unhappy in her heart, in her mind, even if Gu Xiao recognized the princess as her righteous sister, she would not be able to get rid of her original humble identity.
"If Jing'er likes it, I naturally have a way to get the princess to agree."
When she was in Fucheng before, she had also played with Linglong a few times, and the two knew each other.
The eldest lady covered her lips and chuckled, and whispered in Tang Wan's ear: "Jing'er, she, but I said, I don't marry Xiaoxiao in this life!" ”
"Oh? Is this serious? ”
Tang Wan couldn't imagine that her brother would also have a tempting day.
"Miss Gu is really good, she is smart, friendly, smart, and handsome, she is a good girl."
Even Zhou made such a high evaluation? This made Tang Wan a little surprised.
Her second aunt has a gentle temperament, and she has always disliked to talk much, and even her sister rarely sees her praise.
"It makes me a little anxious to meet the girl."
"What's so hard about that? I called for someone to call her to come. ”
As the eldest lady spoke, she summoned Hong Luo and whispered a few words in her ear, Hong Luo nodded, and then left with small steps.
――
Here, Linglong, the eighth princess and the fifth princess have just arrived, and Tang Lian also happened to find them.
Gu Xiao couldn't help but laugh teasingly: "A few of you have made an appointment to come to me together, right?" ”
"Tang Lian has seen the princess, and there are two princesses!"
As soon as Tang Lian saw Linglong and them, although she hadn't seen them with her own eyes, she had heard Gu Xiao mention it before, and she thought that it must be the three of them.
"It turned out to be three girls, no courtesy!"
When Linglong heard her call herself Tang Lian, she knew that she was the youngest young lady in the Tang family.
"Gu Gu, you said there is something delicious here, where is it?"
"You little girl, you look for food as soon as you come, and you are not afraid of becoming a pig." Xiao Qing poked Xiao Yan's head speechlessly.
Tang Lian also looked at Gu Xiao expectantly, not to mention the eighth princess's expectation, she was also looking forward to it.
Gu Xiao laughed, holding Tang Lian with one hand and the eighth princess with the other.
"Come with me, I'll take you to something delicious."
The five of them walked to a secluded stop, but saw a few maids waiting there, and a few food boxes on the stone table.
"Miss Gu!"
Gu Xiao nodded, "You guys go down first!" ”
The maids brushed their bodies, turned and retreated.
Gu Xiao opened the food boxes one by one, and several people watched intently.
"Gu Gu, what is this?" The eighth princess swallowed her saliva and looked very good!
"This is glutinous rice with pork intestines."
"Pig intestines?" The face of the fifth princess instantly became a little tangled.
Seeing her reaction, Gu Xiao seemed to have expected it, and she chuckled: "Fifth princess, don't worry, I have dealt with this intestine, and I guarantee that there is no peculiar smell." ”
"What about this?" Tang Lian asked, pointing to another dish.
"This is glutinous rice chicken, this is lotus leaf steamed pork, let's try it and see how it tastes?"
Gu Xiao picked up the chopsticks and handed each one a pair.
