140. Chapter 138
Wen Xiaomiao was pressed to the chair by Gu Shuting all of a sudden, and she was thinking about what makeup would be more appropriate for Wen Xiaomiao.
"Where's your rouge gouache?" Gu Shuting looked around, but she didn't see it on the bright side, so she could only ask Wen Xiaomiao.
"I didn't." Wen Xiaomiao said.
"None? Not at all? Gu Shuting looked at Wen Xiaomiao in surprise, she knew that Wen Xiaomiao usually didn't use powder, she thought that Wen Xiaomiao didn't like to use it or was reluctant to use it, but she didn't expect her to have no apex.
"Okay, Ping'er, you go to Yue'er and ask her to bring me all the things in my rouge box, I want to use it urgently." Gu Shuting commanded.
Ping'er took the order and hurried away.
Gu Shuting was not idle, to her surprise, Wen Xiaomiao actually had such good clothes and accessories, at first glance, it was Ju'anzhuang's craftsmanship, and she helped choose a set of clothes for Wen Xiaomiao to wear.
After a while, Ping'er ran back with a beautiful big wooden box, staggering, and when she entered the house, it was still the curtain that Gu Shuting personally lifted, which looked quite heavy.
Gu Shuting put out the things in the big wooden box and laid out a table, which dazzled Wen Xiaomiao, although she had never used some of them, she had seen them, and some of them she had never seen.
Gu Shuting proudly pointed to a table of makeup items and said, "How is it?" These are all treasures that I have accumulated over the years, and some of them are even exchanged by my brother from the Persians. ”
Wen Xiaomiao didn't have any concept of rouge gouache, but looking at Gu Shuting's proud display, she still nodded in agreement.
Gu Shuting put on makeup on Wen Xiaomiao and brought the accessories well, she wanted Wen Xiaomiao to take down the silver bracelet that didn't match, Wen Xiaomiao insisted on taking it, it was given to her by Sha Yima, she must take good care of it, and she can only rest assured if she carries it on her body.
Gu Shuting didn't insist, and then looked at it again and again with satisfaction, this girl was really beyond her expectations.
The Gu Mansion was a little far from the palace, so they had to leave early.
The two men went to the main hall and waited.
In the main hall, Master Gu and Mrs. Gu were leisurely drinking tea, they were waiting for Old Man Gu, the old man had just woken up in the afternoon, and he had to wake up for a while.
As soon as several people in the hall saw Wen Xiaomiao, they were all stunned for a moment, and Gu Shuting smiled proudly.
When Old Man Gu walked out, he was naturally shocked, and thought: This kid is really very discerning, I actually looked away.
Old Man Gu himself rode in a carriage and walked in the front, Master Gu and Mrs. Gu sat in the carriage in the middle, Wen Xiaomiao sat in the carriage at the back, the three carriages were surrounded by soldiers, and the heavyweights of the Gu family were basically here.
Wen Xiaomiao has never been to the palace, of course she is full of curiosity about the palace, and the most important thing is that she can finally see Cheng Mu'an today, she hasn't seen her for nearly half a month, I don't know if Cheng Mu'an has lost weight or gained weight.
She lifted a corner of the curtain from time to time to look out, hoping to see the palace early, but what caught her eye were the lively street market, the crowd of people, listening to books, watching plays, drinking tea, walking birds, watching performances, tasting snacks, etc., it was very lively, it seems that the capital has returned to the hustle and bustle of the past, and the impact of this court dispute on the common people has disappeared.
Wen Xiaomiao took out the invitation card and looked at it again, it was still early before the main banquet, it seemed that the palace was still a long way away, Wen Xiaomiao no longer opened the curtain to look, took out the hosta that Cheng Mu'an gave her and rubbed it carefully in the palm of her hand, she couldn't help but think of the situation when Cheng Mu'an curled her hair that day, and her eyes were full of smiles.
Maybe the process of her ceremony is too simple and not grand enough, but she is already very satisfied, and it is enough to have Brother An.
The carriage walked for about an hour and finally arrived at the periphery of the palace, Wen Xiaomiao didn't expect it to be such a long time, it was already far away from the bustling street market, Ping'er opened the curtain for Wen Xiaomiao and helped her get out of the carriage.
There have been a lot of carriages parked around the palace, all kinds of styles, majestic and majestic are mostly used by ministers, luxurious and exquisite are used by women, Wen Xiaomiao is dazzled, just like a dazzling commodity, but it is oversized.
Everyone got out of the carriage and walked in the direction of the palace gate, Old Man Gu was highly respected, and many ministers who met him took the initiative to greet him, Master Gu and Mrs. Gu accompanied Old Man Gu, and Wen Xiaomiao obediently followed Mrs. Gu's side.
"Oh, Gu Lao, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I'm still so energetic, I really make my later life envious." A man in his forties approached Old Man Gu, followed by a noble lady of a similar age.
"Lord Liu, you are also very tough, and the old man still envies your youth." Old Man Gu's voice was as loud as a bell, and he strode forward.
"No, no, I'm old compared to Gu Lao, hehe." Lord Liu said modestly and flatteringly, although Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Gu are not familiar with each other, since they have met, they also want to greet each other.
"Is this your daughter? It's really beautiful, is it okay to be married? The children and grandchildren of the princes and ministers who proposed the prince must have stepped through the threshold. Mrs. Liu glanced at Wen Xiaomiao a few times, she had heard of the Gu Mansion's two thousand gold, although it was not as good as Qin Feiyan, and it was also well-known in the capital, but she didn't expect it to be such a person with a transcendent and beautiful temperament.
"Oh, how can I have this blessing, this is Miss Wen." Mrs. Gu hurriedly explained, "It's Cheng Mu'an's fiancée." ”
"Oh?!" Mrs. Liu was visibly taken aback.
"Xiao Miao, this is the wife of Lord Liu of the Ministry of War, come and see me." Mrs. Gu said with a smile.
Wen Xiaomiao bowed to Mrs. Liu.
"Cheng Gongzi's fiancée? is really good-looking, and Cheng Gongzi is a match made in heaven. Mrs. Liu exclaimed.
"Mrs. Liu has won the award, and Xiao Miao is ashamed." Wen Xiaomiao lowered her head slightly.
Several people, led by a small eunuch, walked through the red gate and entered the palace.
After entering the high walls of the palace, Wen Xiaomiao found that the palace was so magnificent, far more shocking than she imagined.
The whole palace is red wall and green tile, the building wall is towering, majestic and magnificent, the solemn palace rises the brilliant golden top, depends on each other, the height is staggered, the scales are one after another, look at it from afar to attract people to worship, the golden glazed tile heavy eaves of the palace top shines with dazzling light under the illumination of the setting sun, makes people confused, can not distinguish the direction of east and west.
Wen Xiaomiao looked at this magnificent palace, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This is the palace, this is the palace that people can enjoy all the glory and wealth in their mouths, and they are high and invincible.
Because it was not yet the time for the official start of the feast, there were many people gathered in groups in front of the Baohe Palace, mostly the princes and ministers on the left, and the noblewomen and daughters on the right, greeting each other politely.
Mrs. Gu took Wen Xiaomiao and Mrs. Liu to the area on the right side of the city.
Wen Xiaomiao followed behind Mrs. Gu, neither saying much nor much, trying to minimize her sense of existence.
But someone still noticed Wen Xiaomiao, but because it was far away, everyone who knew Mrs. Gu thought that the Gu family's 2,000 gold looked so good.
The crown prince Liu Kuo arrived first, next to him was the graceful and luxurious princess, a step further behind was the delicate and graceful Zhao Liangdi, and behind were Cheng Muan and Gu Haojun.
Wen Xiaomiao looked at the dragon and phoenix among these people.
Liu Kuo did not have the spirit that Wen Xiaomiao expected, but walked into everyone's sight with a little subtlety and restraint, the slanted sword eyebrows, the narrow and sharp phoenix eyes, still an elegant purple robe, auspicious clouds and dark lines, inlaid with silver edges, and a white jade belt around the waist, occasionally exuding a trace of strength in the lonely Qingzhong.
Gu Haojun returned to his own territory, obviously much more casual, with thick eyebrows and big eyes that seemed to be smiling all the time, like a bright first quarter moon in the night sky, he wore a sky-blue silk robe, holding a plain folding fan, looking leisurely.
Wen Xiaomiao looked at Cheng Mu'an blankly, this is Brother An's brother who makes her think about it, although she is still a little uncomfortable with Cheng Mu'an's true face.
I saw that he was dressed in a white brocade robe, ebony-like black pupils, clear but bottomless, a tall and heroic nose, and a pale lip color, which may have been too long for his appearance, his complexion appeared to be white, his long black hair hung down on both shoulders, his figure was quite beautiful and tall, and he couldn't say that he was elegant.
There were a lot of people in front of the Baohe Palace, but Cheng Mu'an still saw Wen Xiaomiao at a glance among the flowery women, and such Wen Xiaomiao made him involuntarily take a second look.
Wen Xiaomiao's three thousand green silk was slightly pinned with a crystal rose hairpin, revealing an indifferent elegance, a few strands of hair fell mischievously on her shoulders, lining the skin that could be broken with her fingers even whiter, she slightly applied fat powder, her eyes were like water, her small and delicate nose, and her small mouth as light as a cherry and as winged as a wing, and her breath was like a quiet orchid.
She is lined with a wide moire silver silk around her arms, a long skirt of pale pink brocade, embroidered with white plum blossoms on the skirt, and a white brocade belt to tie the slender waist that is unbearable.
Cheng Mu'an and Wen Xiaomiao glanced at each other, and their feelings flowed between each other in an instant.
Since the crown prince has arrived, it means that the emperor and queen are also about to arrive, and everyone has been invited into the Baohe Hall one after another.
The Baohe Hall is brightly lit, the red curtain hangs between the golden pillars of the dragon, the colorful paintings between the beams are gorgeous, bright and pleasant, the shining white stone ground shines under the reflection of the firelight, the gold and silver utensils on the tablecloth with dark colors are shining, there is a long table on the high platform, behind it is the dragon and phoenix screen, that is the position of the emperor and the queen, the rest of the tables are rows and high platforms at right angles, divided on both sides of the main hall, everyone sits in the position where they should sit under the guidance of the eunuchs and maids.
Wen Xiaomiao saw that Cheng Mu'an followed Liu Kuo into the hall when she entered the door, and she didn't seem to have any intention of talking to her, so she followed Mrs. Gu to the table and sat down.
The author has something to say: I looked at the outline today, and it's almost over? Oh, I don't want to finish.
