Chapter Seventy-Two: The Beggar Festival
In the evening, there was silence in the palace of the King of Joy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gu Xiao propped her head and looked at the candle flame that was blown by the wind and swayed in a daze.
Tang Jing has never come back since she left at noon, and even when it was time for dinner, Linglong only came over to accompany her.
"Miss Gu, the princess said that she would put lanterns on Chaonan Lake tonight, and asked if you want to go with you?"
Gu Xiao was curious, "Put the lanterns?" Is today a special day? ”
"Miss Gu doesn't know that tonight is the Begging Festival?" Xiao Tao looked at her strangely.
Such a special day, as long as it is a young woman, will remember, right?
Gu Xiao suddenly realized, "Ah! It turned out that today was the seventh day of the seventh month. ”
It's the modern Valentine's Day, but I didn't expect the people here to also celebrate the Begging Festival!
"What kind of place is this South Lake?"
"Looking back on the girl, the Chaonan River is a river in front of the Nanrong Temple in Dongxiang, because it flows southward, so the world named it Chaonan River."
"Then where is this Nanrong Temple in Dongxiang?"
The smile on Xiao Tao's face froze, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, "Miss Gu came to Beijing for the first time, and there are many places that she has never been to, so it will be clear later." ”
Gu Xiao also felt that she had a lot of problems, so she coughed lightly in embarrassment, "Cough~ That, let me change my clothes first." ”
"Yes!"
She got up, lifted the curtain and walked into the bedroom, picked out a plain dress from the cabinet and changed it, and pulled her hair at random, and it took only half an hour to clean up.
"Let's go!"
Xiao Tao nodded, and secretly glanced at her a few times as she walked, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Miss Gu is the most casually dressed among the girls she has ever seen, not to mention all day long, even her hair is loose, but she doesn't look sloppy, but reveals a faint lazy meaning.
"What's wrong? But what do I have on my face? ”
Noticing that her gaze glanced at her from time to time, Gu Xiao couldn't help but reach out and wipe her face.
"I didn't ...... No, the maid just felt that Miss Gu was dressed too plainly. ”
Gu Xiao chuckled silently when she heard this.
She really didn't like those clothes that were too bright in color and thought they were too eye-catching.
"However, Miss Gu is good-looking, no matter how she dresses up, she looks good!"
Afraid that she would misunderstand something, Xiao Tao hurriedly explained.
Indeed, although Gu Xiao is not a stunning beauty, she is better than her fair skin, which looks very eye-catching.
"Really? Thank you! ”
Gu Xiao scratched her head embarrassedly, in fact, it wasn't that she didn't like to dress up, it was just because she was too lazy.
When the two of them just walked into Linglong Pavilion, they happened to see Linglong walking out surrounded by all the maidservants, among them, there was an extra seven or eight-year-old girl.
Linglong greeted her with a smile, "Ah Xiao is here!" ”
"Second sister-in-law, who is this?" Xiao Yan looked at Gu Xiao curiously, looking innocent.
"Oh, Yan Yan, this is the emperor's sister-in-law's friend, named Gu Xiao."
"Ah Xiao, this is the eighth princess."
Gu Xiao bent her knees, "The folk girl has seen the eighth princess." ”
"is not only a friend of the second emperor's sister-in-law, but also a friend of Yan Yan, so there is no need to be polite."
The little girl waved her hand very domineeringly, and her small appearance was very cute.
Gu Xiao couldn't help but chuckle out loud, and wanted to reach out and pinch her little face, but suddenly thought that Yu Li didn't agree, so she took her hand back again.
"Second Emperor Sister-in-law, let's leave quickly, the Fourth Emperor Sister will come later, Yan Yan doesn't like to be with her."
"Okay, let's go now."
Linglong pinched her face and smiled.
The little guy pulled Linglong with one hand and Gu Xiao with the other, bouncing forward.
Linglong was a little surprised, "This little guy has always disliked people, but I didn't expect to like Ah Xiao." ”
"Really?" Gu Xiao was also a little surprised, she looked down at the little guy who was only up to her chest, but saw that she was looking sideways at herself, smiling so much that she couldn't see her teeth.
"You are much better looking than the Fourth Emperor Sister, I like you!"
The little guy has a straight temperament, she can say whatever she wants, in her eyes, as long as she sees it pleasing to the eye, she is better looking than her four emperor sisters.
"The eighth princess laughed, how can a folk girl compare to the fourth princess?"
Although I haven't seen the four princesses, but seeing the appearance of Xiao Chen and the eighth princess, presumably the four princesses are not far behind.
Gu Xiao couldn't help but admire, all the emperor's wives are genuine beauties, and almost all of the offspring they give birth to are as beautiful as flowers, handsome and extraordinary, and they are really genetically strong, so they can be born no matter what.
The little guy snorted coldly, let go of the hands of the two and ran ahead first, and then turned back and stuck out his tongue at the two of them and made a strange face.
Gu Xiao couldn't cry or laugh when she saw it, and the original depression in her heart had disappeared.
Thinking of Tang Jing, she looked at Linglong and hesitated: "Tonight, why don't you see the prince?" ”
"The person Ah Xiao wants to ask is actually Tang Gongzi, right?"
Being poked in the heart, Gu Xiao pouted, "Who said I was going to ask him?" ”
Linglong knew that she was duplicitous, but she didn't continue to tease her.
"I don't know, the prince only sent Shi Meng to say that if there is something today, he and Tang Gongzi will not go back to the house for dinner, and he also ordered me to go with you during the meal."
Gu Xiao listened, her eyes drooped slightly, I am afraid that this last sentence was ordered by Tang Jing, right?
Today, since Tang Jing left, she has been thinking about whether she wants to accept his heart and wait for him to be with her, or just say goodbye without saying goodbye?
It turned out that she couldn't say goodbye, and she admitted that she was indeed a little different from Tang Jing, at least in many things, she couldn't help but want to rely on him.
She had sworn that she would never miss someone who made her heart flutter again, and when this person appeared, why didn't she give each other a chance?
For some reason, when she thought of this, she only felt that the heavy hammer pressing on her chest seemed to disappear in an instant, and even her breathing was much easier.
"Why are you here too?"
As soon as the two arrived at the door, Xiao Yan was very dissatisfied with the questioning.
"This princess will come if she wants to, what's the matter with your little girl?"
Xiao Qing stroked her sideburns and smiled bewitchingly.
Gu Xiao blinked in surprise, as if she saw the female version of Xiao Chen.
"This is the four princesses?"
Linglong shook her head, "This is the fifth princess." ”
"Five princesses?" The corners of Gu Xiao's mouth twitched, could it be a princess party today?
"In the past, when it came to the Begging Festival, they would come to Xiaoyao Palace, as for the reason......" Linglong looked at her with some hesitation.
Gu Xiao somehow, hearing her say this, Tang Jing's handsome face suddenly flashed in her mind, "Is it because of the eldest son?" ”
Linglong smiled awkwardly and nodded.
"It seems that the eldest prince has a lot of peach blossoms! The flowers are all delicate flowers. ”
Linglong heard the vinegar in it, and couldn't help but hide her lips and smile.
"Yo, the second emperor's sister-in-law is here, can the second emperor's brother be in the house today?"
Xiao Qing's sharp eyes saw Linglong at the door, and she couldn't help but smile, twisting Xiao Man's waist and walking over.
"Five princesses!"
Gu Xiao and a group of maidservants bent their knees one after another.
"It's not the right time for the fifth princess to come, the prince left early this morning."
One is Yan Yan, the other is the fifth princess, who is close and who is sparse, you will understand it when you hear it.
