Chapter Twenty-Three: The Night Feast
"Cuckoo, come with me to the feast today. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Gu Qingcheng took the initiative to say to Du Juan, firstly, Du Juan has been with her for a long time, and she is familiar with her, and secondly, Du Juan has been with Long Yuting all the year round, and is more familiar with Beichen's court affairs, in case there is an accident at the palace banquet, there is also someone to help.
While helping her comb her hair, the cuckoo said with a smile: "The girl from Allure wants to take the slave to the banquet, and the slave and maid can't ask for it." ”
This banquet will be more lively because there are many vassal kings with different surnames, and I heard that there are many nobles from Beichen who will participate in this dinner, which is said to be an opportunity for young talents to choose a mate.
Gu Chengcheng dressed up and walked up for a while, and the cuckoo followed behind her, and couldn't help but praise: "The girl in Allure is really beautiful, even if I wait for women to see it, they are shocked." ”
Slender waist with a green emerald cigarette shirt, wearing a thin veil of emerald water, every step came with the sound of ringing dingdong, passing by her can smell a faint fragrance, elegant but very chic.
When she appeared at the palace banquet, the other nobles lost their color all of a sudden, all eyes were focused on Gu Qingcheng, envious, jealous, disdainful, admiring, she hung her head slightly, embarrassed to look directly at everyone's eyes, even if she often appeared at friends' gatherings in modern times, she had never been so concerned, and tonight's level of attention made her feel a little shy.
She kept telling herself in her heart that she must be careful not to cause trouble for Long Yuting, Gu Qingcheng moved the lotus step towards Long Yuting, there was a long distance between her and him, and she saw him smile faintly at her.
The whispers of the ladies were heard: "You see that she is her, she is the regent's favorite woman." ”
"Tsk, it's just a little bit beautiful, but I heard that she came from a humble background, how can she be worthy of the regent who is powerful in the world."
"That's it, it's just a fox, she must have temporarily charmed the regent with her appearance, what kind of etiquette can such a woman have, and how can she be a princess."
The words of the noble ladies were like raindrops gushing out like Gu Qingcheng, at this moment she could only pretend that she couldn't hear or see, to be with Long Yuting, she knew that she had to go through these gossips, but she had enough courage to face all this.
She was about to walk up to Long Yuting, she even saw him stretch out his hand to her, and at this moment, a few beads rolled out of nowhere and fell to the ground, just falling in front of Gu Qingcheng, she accidentally stepped on it, her body staggered, and she saw that she was about to fall to the ground, but Long Yuting was still some distance from her, and he didn't have time to help her up, at this moment, a pair of hands supported her from behind.
There was a sound of laughter behind him, it seemed to be laughing at Gu Qingcheng's action of about to fall just now, gossiping, and wanting to make her fall, but they deceived people too much, obviously they deliberately dropped the beads on the ground because they were embarrassed, and wanted her to step on them and fall, but now they laughed.
She glanced at the ladies who were covering their mouths and snickering, and felt how ugly their smiles were at this time, even the most beautiful makeup could not hide their ugly hearts.
"Have you laughed enough?" Gu Qingcheng frowned coldly, she picked up the jasper beads scattered on the ground, walked in the direction where they fell and said to the nobles, "Do you want me to find out the owner of this thing personally." ”
When the nobles saw that her expression was condensed, and if she really angered her, and there was the regent's support behind her, everyone didn't dare to laugh anymore, and they were silent.
Gu Tingcheng was about to thank the person who supported her, but when she turned her face to see that although the person was richly dressed, he was unkempt, and he was smirking at her, she was stunned.
A word came out of her mind, this person should be a madman, she was actually held up by a madman, how could such a palace banquet allow a madman to appear, the more she thought about it, the more strange she felt, but she still said to the unkempt man: "Thank you." ”
The man naturally didn't have any expression, still smirked at her, Long Yuting strode over, held her arm and said, "Allure, are you okay?" ”
Gu Qingcheng turned from anger to laughter, and followed Long Yuting to the front: "I'm fine, the prince doesn't need to worry." ”
Long Yuting gently stroked her long hair, as if she was saying it to everyone: "Allure, you have done a good job, you are the future princess regent, so you naturally have to have the bearing of a princess." ”
Everyone didn't dare to say anything after hearing these words, they had never seen Long Yuting so attentive to a woman for so many years, tonight the regent said this sentence in front of the public, and he was determined to make this woman a concubine, thinking that no one would dare to underestimate Gu Qingcheng anymore.
Only that dirty face, still smirking on his face, but his gaze flashed a hint of sharpness, and the corners of his mouth raised a subtle sneer, and no one noticed his expression, because he was a madman.
Gu Qingcheng walked up to Long Ziqi and Long Yuying to say hello one by one, and Long Ziqi responded to her very happily, but Long Yuying still had a straight face, as if she still didn't want to see her.
She sat in front of the banquet with Long Yuting, and when she looked down, it was all prosperous, the singers stood in the center of the hall and danced, the musicians played the piano well, and there was Xiao Di accompaniment, naturally it was a natural sound, even she, who didn't like ancient music, but the more she listened, the more she felt it.
"Lord Wang, do you know how to play the guqin?" Gu Qingcheng asked with a side face.
"What, Allure wants to learn?" Long Yuting played with the jade cup in his hand and did not answer her directly.
"Hmm." Gu Qingcheng looked at him with full eyes, listening to this piece played by the musician today, she suddenly had the idea of learning the guqin.
"If Allure wants to learn, then I can play it." Long Yuting replied to her in a roundabout, with a hint of pampering in his eyes, even in the public, his love for her was no longer hidden, since he brought her from the palace into the palace, he must have to show it in front of everyone.
He just wants to let the people who despise Gu Qingcheng understand that he Long Yuting likes women and can't be bullied casually, otherwise he will definitely make that person look good.
"The imperial uncle and the future imperial aunt are really interested, sending autumn waves to each other in front of me, and I am all overjoyed to see it." Long Ziqi stepped down from the throne, approached the two of them and asked, "What did you talk about just now, I also want to know." ”
Long Yuting turned his face, "Since Your Majesty is in a state of overjoy, the minister suggests that Your Majesty accept a concubine as soon as possible, so that you can accompany Your Majesty in this harem." ”
"Uncle Huang's proposal is good." Long Ziqi touched his chin and said, "I can think about it, these vassal kings are here tonight, I just entertain them, and the imperial uncle doesn't have to go anymore." ”
