048 Kind reminder
Princess Huihe has always loved to wear bright colors, and today she wore a bright red gold button peony pattern drag skirt, which is bright and moving.
The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has always produced beauties, and even the clan is also thoughtful.
Before the eldest princess could approach, the girls in the pavilion left the table one after another to salute. Princess Huihe waited for everyone to finish saluting in a proper manner, and then smiled: "No need to be polite, I invite all the girls to come today, naturally I hope you will not be too restrained." β
took Ke Yunshuang to sit on the seat, and Princess Huihe raised her hand and said, "Take a seat." β
There were two octagonal tables in the pavilion, and the seats were arranged in the original way, and everyone sat down in turn. Gu Qingwan's right hand is naturally Gu Qingyan, and on the left hand side are the four girls of the Qiao family in the Ministry of War. Gu Qingwan has some impressions of this Qiao Si girl, it seems that she has a good personal relationship with Gu Qingyan, and she also likes poetry and lyrics very much on weekdays.
The girls had contact with Princess Huihe privately for the first time, and they were naturally a little cramped and couldn't let go. It's just that Princess Huihe's attitude is very gentle, and Ke Yunshuang is laughing and laughing during the banquet, which makes the tense atmosphere suddenly a lot easier.
Miss Qiao Si glanced at Gu Qingwan, and quietly bit her ears between Gu Qingwan and Gu Qingwan, but she only said that she would invite Gu Qingyan to Shangshu Mansion as a guest two days later.
Gu Qingwan sat up straight, and when she looked up, she saw Xie Ningxin, who was sitting on another Eight Immortals table, winking at her. Gu Qingwan looked stunned, looked in the direction indicated by Xie Ningxin's eyes, and saw an attic not far away. There was a faint figure shaking. Her heart moved, and she leaned slightly to avoid the gaze in the attic.
Even when he spoke, everyone just whispered, lest Megumi and the princess look at them twice.
Princess Huihe invited people to enjoy the flowers, this food and wine are related to flowers, and it turned out to be a lotus banquet with a table. After the maid withdrew, Princess Huihe proposed a wine order, and made the lady in charge beside her an order.
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Qingwan saw that the faces of all the girls present had changed in unison.
The girls of the family of Da Zhou have been studying and learning calligraphy since childhood, just like the three girls of the Gu family, and they also have some ink in their stomachs, not to mention other people. But if it was a banquet on weekdays, these girls were very happy to show themselves in front of others, and tried their best to overwhelm others.
But today's situation is different, if you really perform well, will you get the eyes of Princess Megumi and Princess? But if it's deliberately cowardly. How could Princess Huihe not see the twists and turns in this, and offended Princess Huihe again.
The scale of this is indeed difficult to weigh and grasp.
And Gu Qingyan and Qiao Si Girl, who were sitting on both sides of Gu Qingwan and still whispering, sat down with a look of waiting for Princess Hui when Princess Huihe spoke.
"We're not literati. This 'Yaling' is really unattainable. I can only do the 'general order'. It's just that if you roll the dice and draw the wine box, I'm afraid that the girls will think it's vulgar. After saying that, Hui and the princess glanced at the maid beside her, who nodded, and took out a pink lotus flower with buds from the bamboo basket behind her.
"Since you're here to enjoy the flowers, let's have a drum to pass the flowers." Princess Megumi took the bud and handed it to the maid on the right.
The maid nodded, then took the flower hub in the bamboo basket and turned her back.
Seeing that Megumi and the princess had prepared everything, everyone couldn't help but be even more worried, knowing that this wine order had been prepared by her earlier.
Gu Qingyan seemed to be very good with Miss Qiao Si, and she also leaned back slightly, reminding Miss Qiao Si. Gu Qingwan listened to this, but she felt that it was rare to see Gu Qingyan thinking about others, and she didn't know how this Qiao Si girl got Gu Qingyan's eyes.
Princess Huihe handed the bud to Ke Yunshuang and laughed softly: "Then let's start with Shuang'er." β
The maid nodded, and for the first time, the sound of the drums made everyone in the room nervous.
Not far away, in the attic, the people in it have been sitting for a long time. Because she was afraid that the girl who came to the princess's mansion would bump into the five princes and cause panic, Princess Huihe sent someone to send the five princes and the county lord Wanhua to the attic early in the morning.
Ke Yuma has his own mansion, and he naturally rests in the Jinxiang Hou Mansion on weekdays (it is reasonable to say that Ke Qin and Ke Yunshuang both want to stay in the Jinxiang Hou Mansion, but Princess Huihe felt that the princess's mansion was too deserted, so she took Ke Yunshuang to the princess's mansion to live for a long time.
It's Ke Qin, who lives in the princess's mansion for most of the month.
Old Madam Ke naturally had a lot of complaints in her heart, but in the end, she couldn't resist Princess Huihe, so she could only endure it silently.
As for the prince of Huaiwang, he was pulled over by the five princes early in the morning and insisted on choosing a playmate with Candle.
It's just that finally the "prep playmates" came to the pavilion in the small garden, but those people all sat and talked, and no one moved for a long time. The fifth prince was already a little tired, but his interest was not as high as before.
And the county lord of Wanhua was even more dissatisfied.
Empress Chen replied that she should leave the palace, and in her imagination, it was just as the fifth prince had told her before, taking her to play freely in the downtown area. But she didn't expect to leave the palace only from Yongyan Palace to the eldest princess's mansion, but the eldest princess was relieved, and after the "playmate" of the fifth prince was selected, she was allowed to go to the third prince's mansion to walk around.
The county lord of Wanhua was afraid that the three princes would not keep their promises, so they came to the attic to βͺguard the five princes in the attic, and the county lord of Wanhua was even more anxious.
The windows of this attic are very hidden, and from the attic you can see the people in the pavilion opposite, but the other side of the pavilion can't see the attic very clearly.
The fifth prince squinted his eyes and glanced at the other end of the pavilion, quite deflated: "What are they doing, they don't move for a long time, how can I know who is more fun in the end!" After that, he looked at Wang Shizi and said, "Bin'er, the imperial sister said that you can only choose from those people, which one do you say is better?" β
This question really stumped the candle.
said that it was to choose a concubine for the five princes, but it was mixed with interests, and the candidates were all circled on so many people. Empress Chen let the five princes choose by themselves, but it was just a favor.
If it is according to the meaning of the candle, in terms of stakes alone, there are only three choices.
The first one that should be considered is naturally the nine girls of the Zhao family of the Dongge University Scholar's Mansion.
The Zhao family is also a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and Zhao Jin, a scholar of Dongge University, has entered the cabinet smoothly. Seeing that the first assistant of the cabinet is now old, Zhao Jin is the most promising candidate in the cabinet to be the next first assistant.
Zhao Jiu's brother Zhao Qixuan was still a princess of Hui'an last year, and Concubine Jin in the palace was the only one like Princess Hui'an. If Miss Zhao Jiu became the fifth princess, it would be to associate the queen mother and Concubine Jin together, and the situation of the virtuous concubines in the palace would be very difficult.
Even if Miss Zhao Jiu is the best candidate, there is also a very big risk.
Although this ninth girl is nine, she is the only concubine of Bachelor Zhao, and she is also the youngest girl in the Zhao family, and she is favored by Zhao Jin. A few years ago, when the four princes were choosing concubines, Zhao Jin did not want Miss Zhao Jiu to be the princess and get involved in the royal family. What's more, compared with the fourth prince, the fifth prince still has mental defects.
What I'm most afraid of is that I can't be a family member and I have a grudge.
And the second one that should be considered is the girl of the Qiao family in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War. The Empress Niang's maiden family, Chen Guogong's Mansion, holds most of the military power in the northwest, and if it is backed by the military department's Shangshu, the queen's vein is naturally like a tiger with wings.
However, in this way, it has attracted suspicion from today.
The third one who can be considered is the girl from the Gu family of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
The Marquis of Dingyuan Mansion and the Marquis of Huaiyuan Mansion are in-laws, although on the surface, it seems that the Marquis of Huai Mansion and the Marquis of Dingyuan are now on the side of Queen Chen, but this fragile trust, Empress Chen is uneasy in her heart, and the Marquis of Huai's Mansion and the Marquis of Dingyuan are also very uneasy.
The third prince now has a concubine, and even a side concubine has also set up, so he doesn't think about it, so he can only start from the fifth prince who has not yet married. If the five princesses are from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, Empress Chen and the Huaiwang Mansion can really settle down.
It's just that I don't know if the Gu family is willing to "sacrifice" a concubine to be this bridge of connection.
Huai Wang Shizi's eyes crossed the verdant forests and craggy rockeries, and at a glance he saw the two girls of the Gu family sitting in the pavilion with their backs to the attic. It's a coincidence that these two girls are both from the second room of the Gu family, and in terms of identity, they are also concubines.
The fifth girl, Gu Qingyan, is known for her talent in Beijing, and she can't make mistakes in her words and deeds, and she is a complete lady. On the other hand, this third girl, I heard that her temper is very short-tempered and coquettish, and she is a very troublesome character.
That's right, otherwise he wouldn't be over fifteen years old, and he hasn't decided to marry yet, Huai Wang Shizi thought with some relief. He had seen the third girl of the Gu family, but now that he thought about it, he didn't remember what she looked like.
Candle saw that he was still squinting his eyes and trying to see the five princes in the pavilion opposite, and asked a little playfully: "Didn't you just say that you have to pick this 'playmate' yourself, and what others say doesn't count?" Why do you remember to ask me which one to choose? β
The five princes hesitated for a while, and their faces turned a little red in the middle of the argument: "They are all sitting still, how can I distinguish who is better." After that, he said very seriously, "Otherwise, I'll let someone bring the snowball over, and whoever the snowball likes, I will choose whomever it likes, anyway, she will help me play with the snowball at that time." β
Huai Wang Shizi was a little angry, but he thought that he would only be angry with himself after all, so he sneered and stopped talking.
The fifth prince and the county lord of Wanhua muttered for a while, but there was still no result.
After a long time, Wang Shizi Huai said lightly on the side: "Last time in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, didn't you still say that Miss Gu San was very fun?" Seeing that the fifth prince frowned and recalled, Huai Wang Shizi reminded, "The one who was scared by you with Xie Ziran's sister last time, she is also sitting in the pavilion now. β
The eyes of the five princes lit up. (To be continued)
