Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, the time of the poetry meeting was set for August 16. As the saying goes, the moon of fifteen is sixteen round. Sixteen, the day is beautiful, the sky is clear, and the moon and stars are scarce at night. Ding Muyan and I, as the organizers, arrived at the venue at about five o'clock in the afternoon, and the poetry meeting would be held at seven o'clock, that is, at the beginning of the year. Considering the convenience of the Queen Mother's participation, the poetry meeting specially invited the emperor to be held in the Queen Mother's Yongshou Palace.

I remember that before going out, Rufeng Ben helped me dress up carefully, and I removed all of them. only wore a moon-white dark striped narrow skirt as the base, and covered with a light blue fragrant cloud gauze folding skirt. The hair was just loosely curled up in a fallen bun. Looking at Rufeng's puzzled eyes, I explained: "I'm not the protagonist today, and I don't want to steal the limelight from the second sister." ”

Rufeng pursed his lips and said, "I'm afraid that even if the young lady dresses like this, it will be difficult to get her wish." So in the past, they never called you, if it wasn't for Xiangye to make this arrangement this time, the second lady would never let you go. ”

I know she's telling the truth, and it's true that these two sisters don't usually appear on the same occasion as this sister. If it weren't for Ding Xiang this time, I would never have had this chance to go out.

At the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I saw Ding Muyan, wearing a lilac Confucian skirt with a dark belt. The long purple-red ribbon on the outside makes the whole person feel elegant and smart. On the head is a graceful lily bun with pearl hairpin, coupled with the learned footwork, it looks swaying, and I can't help but secretly cheer when I first see it.

On the road, Ding Muyan did not sit in the same car with me, but sat in the front car with Wen Jing and Wen Xian, and I sat in the back car with Rulan. Because Rufeng was sometimes too anxious and afraid of something going wrong in the palace, I only took Rulan with me.

After the carriage left the house, it took about a pillar of incense to the east, and the carriage stopped, and I knew that it had arrived at the gate of the palace. Sure enough, after a while, the carriage began to move again, and soon stopped again. I heard Wen Jing come over and say, "Fifth Miss, the inner court has arrived, I'm afraid I want to ask you to get out of the car and walk." ”

Rulan heard that she got out of the car first, and then lifted the curtain to help me.

Passing through the front garden of the Imperial Garden, you will arrive at the Yongshou Palace, where the Queen Mother lives.

It's called the organizer, but we don't really need to do anything. Ding Muyan's important work in the early stage was only to determine the list of invitations, and then the Queen Mother would look at it. There is also the current arrangement of the position where each lady sits. In the Yongshou Palace, the corridor is temporarily divided into a room, and all the curtains are fixed in front. Because there will be a lot of princes and grandsons coming later, and all the curtains will be lowered to show the difference between men and women.

I was secretly a little funny, nominally a "blind date", but those princes and grandsons couldn't even see the faces of these young ladies, at best, they listened to a voice, so the correctness of the selection will be greatly reduced.

My position was arranged by Ding Muyan in the corner on the left, which was exactly what I wanted. I hope to come quietly and go quietly.

Time pushed back, and slowly there were more people. I know that this time, there are as many as 20 young ladies who have not left the cabinet who have invited more than two members of the capital in the capital. I sat behind the gauze curtain and watched Ding Muyan exquisitely hustle with each girl, and I was very familiar with everyone. Rulan has been behind my back to introduce me to everyone's origin and situation. Because Rulan participated in the "reception work" in the last poetry meeting, she is very clear about these ladies.

It was slowly getting dark, and the maids and maids of the palace lit up the palace lamps everywhere, only illuminating the garden as if it were day. And the last one to come was Du Yuxuan, the daughter of Hubu Shangshu, who was as talented as Ding Muyan, two years younger than Ding Muyan, and today is fourteen. Because the Prime Minister's Mansion is in the north of the city, and the Du Mansion is in the south of the city, there is a saying of "North Smoke and South Xuan". If the Du family is just a household book, the family situation cannot be compared with the Xiangfu. But the most powerful person in the Du family is the old lady of the Du family, Du Yunqi, who was the generalissimo of the Northwest at the time. He can be said to be the protector of the Ming Dynasty, and he won every battle. And Du Guanglei, the son of the Du family, who is Du Yuxuan's uncle, also died on the battlefield because of his early career in Rong. The emperor took pity on him for having only two sons, so he specially ordered Du Guangqing, the father of Du Yuxuan, to serve as the secretary of the household department. Therefore, the most powerful thing in the Du family is Du Yunqi, who holds military power.

I have read Du Yuxuan's poems, but I only feel that my mind is ingenious and every sentence is foreshadowed. But for some reason, I feel that such a person must be very tired to live, because he thinks too much and asks too much. Seeing Ding Muyan walking towards me with her, I hurriedly got up and greeted her.

Heard Ding Muyan introduce to Du Yuxuan: "This is my fifth sister Ding Muqing." Then he turned to me and said, "This is Du Yuxuan, the daughter of the head of the household." ”

I looked towards Du Yuxuanfu and said softly: "Mu Qing has seen Sister Du, Sister Du Wanfu." Du Yuxuan hurriedly helped him and said, "Sister Qing is good." I often hear your third brother talk about you, but now when I see it, it is really a fairy-like character. Seeing that I was a little puzzled, he explained: "Your third brother often hunts with his brother, and he was introduced to him by his brother last month, so he occasionally discussed poetry and enjoyed the scenery in one place. ”

"Oh, I said why didn't the third brother see anyone this month, it turned out that he and Sister Du were 'discussing poetry and appreciating the scenery', so I couldn't miss it." I deliberately teased her, thinking that I would wait until I go back and interrogate the third brother well. Her face flushed slightly from my laughter, and it made people feel as if her jade skin was bleeding. To be honest, I don't like Du Yuxuan very much, mainly because of her poems, which always makes me feel that she cares a lot, but now when I see her, it seems that this is not the case. A cage seems to be frowning but not frowning, a pair of affectionate eyes, like a crescent moon when smiling, but there is a charm of seduction. To be honest, if she is on par with Ding Muyan, then in terms of appearance, Ding Muyan will lose more than a figure.

Du Yuxuan took my hand and said to Ding Muyan: Muyan, I saw Sister Qing today, as soon as I saw it, I will sit here with Sister Qing, you can do it yourself. Then he sat down and did not look at her. I realized that although Ding Muyan was as famous as Du Yuxuan, Du Yuxuan didn't take her seriously at all. I'm a little puzzled, if I talk about my background, I and Ding Muyan are both concubines, and I don't even have a name, why does Du Yuxuan look at me differently.

"Your third brother told me that in the Prime Minister's mansion, except for Xiangye, you are the only sister he values, and this Ding Muyan always bullies you with his little talent, you are her sister, but she arranged you in this corner, which can be seen." After Du Yuxuan waited for Ding Muyan to leave, he talked to me. I didn't expect the third brother to even tell her this, presumably the relationship between the two is different, but I have never heard the third brother mention her, and I feel a little strange, and I have to talk to her with "oh".
