After the eunuch finished speaking, like a swan with an arrow in the neck, he proudly raised his nostrils and left.

The military generals and officials of the Zuo Wei Family Mansion stared at the room where Gu Qing was on an errand with great admiration, their eyes were red like rabbits.

Gu Qing's name spread in Zuowei's mansion as early as the conflict with Lu Chengping, and some people deliberately inquired about Gu Qing's background, Gu Qing's background on the surface is easy to hear, when he opened a porcelain kiln in Shuzhou, made tribute porcelain, coaxed Yang Guifei, a beautiful fellow countryman, to be happy and proud, and later made a sycophant poem, coaxing Yang Guifei's heart to bloom, accidentally in the pacification of the battle of Nanzhao, a few more words, the good news reached Chang'an, Yang Guifei seized the opportunity to blow a few pillow winds to the Son of Heaven, so Gu Qing developed in this way.

In all the rumors about Gu Qing, there is one key word, "Yang Guifei", Gu Qing's history is actually a textbook on how to shoot the concubine's ass well, please the concubine Niangniang, is it far from being promoted?

It's a pity that most of the officials in the court don't have Gu Qing's talent, they can't make tribute porcelain, and they can't write sycophants so exquisitely......

Most of the real literati have to be faced, their sense of morality and shame is stronger than that of ordinary people, in order to be an official, they can properly make some more subtle sycophantic articles, but after all, they must have some bottom line, and they can't boast to death, Li Bai has been a Hanlin edict for a year, and he can't stand it after writing sycophantic poems for a year, and he took the initiative to resign and leave Chang'an, which shows how disgusted he is with the word "sycophancy" in his heart.

Gu Qing doesn't care, anyway, the sycophant poems he wrote are not his original, and he doesn't memorize this shameless black cauldron.

It is not a formal occasion for the concubine to set up a banquet in the garden, so Gu Qing does not have to wear official clothes, she only needs to wear regular clothes, and she can dress neatly and cleanly.

Early the next morning, Gu Qing put on a navy blue gown, wore a scarf, and inserted a hosta in his bun, looked in the mirror at home, and found that if he kept a smiling expression, his face still looked somewhat festive.

The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, except for formal occasions of court meetings or meetings with the Son of Heaven, there was not much red tape on other occasions, and it was good to be casual. Li Bai was drunk in the palace back then, and later there was a famous allusion that asked Gao Lishi to take off his boots for him.

The purpose of the garden party is not really to visit the garden, but to chat with the powerful officials in the process of visiting the garden, or to compose poems, or to drink, in short, all activities that can enhance the feelings of the monarch or colleagues are allowed or even encouraged.

As a low-level official, Gu Qing was invited by Yang Guifei to surprise many people, so Gu Qing came very early, try to be low-key and humble in front of others, and not give people the impression of being pampered and arrogant, otherwise it is easy to make enemies.

Qujiang Pond belongs to the royal garden, originally built in the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang built a palace by the Qujiang Pond, called "Yichun Garden", this improper name has continued until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was renamed "Qujiang", and later renamed "Furong Pond" in the Sui Dynasty, and then renamed Qujiang Pond in the Tang Dynasty.

After Gu Qing entered the garden, under the leadership of the eunuchs, he came to the Ziyun Tower on the side of the Qujiang Pond, this building was built in the 14th year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and every New Year's Festival in the garden, Li Longji would feast the courtiers in this building, and enjoy the singing and dancing together.

The owner of today's garden party is Yang Guifei, and Li Longji is not here.

Gu Qing came to the front of Ziyun Tower, straightened his clothes, and after the eunuch passed the word to announce it, Gu Qing bowed his head and entered.

After entering the building, Gu Qing still hung his head, and it was not until Yang Guifei smiled and said a word of exemption that Gu Qing raised his head.

Today's Yang Guifei has obviously been carefully dressed, wearing a gorgeous and graceful purple palace dress, with a trefoil-shaped flower in the center of her eyebrows, her hair coiled into a high cloud bun, and the waterfall-like towering bun is inlaid with pearls and jade, which is luxurious and does not dare to look directly.

Gu Qing came the earliest, there were no courtiers in the building, Yang Guifei held her cheek with one hand, and was watching the song and dance with a lazy expression, she was very happy after Gu Qing came, and beckoned to him, Gu Qing took a few steps forward, Yang Guifei beckoned again, and Gu Qing cautiously took a few steps forward.

Yang Guifei said unhappily: "Sitting in the palace, today is not a court meeting, you don't have to pay attention to etiquette, are you afraid that the palace will eat you?" ”

The corners of Gu Qing's eyes jumped.

This is Li Longji's baby, how much scolding he suffered at the beginning before he got started, he couldn't get too close to her, and it reached Li Longji's ears, if he only regarded himself as a child, it didn't matter, if he regarded himself as a rival in love and wanted to get rid of it quickly, he would have died unjustly.

A eunuch next to him brought a futon over, Gu Qing took it first, took the initiative to put it about a zhang away from Yang Guifei, and then sat down on his knees.

Yang Guifei glared at him helplessly and sighed: "Being so cautious is really not like something you can do at your age." ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "Niangniang is extravagant and radiant, and the ministers really don't dare to get too close, for fear that Niangniang's holy and gorgeous light will stab the minister's eyes." ”

Yang Guifei covered her mouth and laughed: "Your mouth is really ...... is so flamboyant that he didn't get married, and he didn't believe it when he said it, and when he grew up a little in the future, I don't know how many innocent women in the world have suffered from you......"

"The minister is still young, and he has no father or mother, so he doesn't want to get married for the time being."

Yang Guifei shook her head and said: "I praised you for being sensible just now, and said such rude words, you are eighteen years old, how can you not get married?" How boring it is to live alone, and besides, you must leave a vein of incense for your ancestors, otherwise you will be scolded for being unfilial......"

Saying that, Yang Guifei said: "You are now an official in the court, and there is no official who has not yet become married. Gu Qing, even if this palace wants to ask Your Majesty to promote you to an official in the future, if you are not married, this palace will be embarrassed to talk to Your Majesty, understand? ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "Thank you for your kind words, I remember." It's just that the minister is still young, and the promotion is not in a hurry, and the minister will make new contributions to His Majesty, and the mother has the confidence to speak for the minister. ”

Yang Guifei smiled: "It's rare for a young man to have such ambition, the last time I heard about the rebellion of the imperial court in Pingnan Zhaoguo, you made a lot of suggestions to Xian Yu Zhongtong, so as to make a lot of contributions, Xian Yu Zhongtong sent to Chang'an, please play the merits, your name is listed as the first in the merit book, the palace was happy at that time, and I really had the confidence to help you speak in front of Your Majesty, and I confidently asked Your Majesty to give you a big official......

"Helplessly, Your Majesty said that you are young and young, and the title of a big official is afraid of provoking criticism in the DPRK and China, so I only gave you an eight-rank record to join the army, and His Majesty owes you in this matter, such a great credit should not only be awarded the eight-rank official, and when you are two years older in the future, the palace will ask Your Majesty to give you another promotion, and you must be worthy of your contribution to the court for Your Majesty."

Gu Qing hurriedly straightened up and thanked him.

It can be seen that Yang Guifei really has a good impression of Gu Qing, this kind of good impression has nothing to do with the love between men and women, partly because the tribute porcelain that Gu Qing fired at the beginning relieved her homesickness, partly because she was proud of Gu Qing, a young and handsome man in her hometown, and partly because Gu Qing's sycophants were too wonderful.

As for Gu Qing's affection for Yang Guifei, she has no love for men and women, mainly because she doesn't dare to have it, she will die. Who told him that his wings were not stiff?

After talking about the promotion, Yang Guifei asked about Lu Chengping's provocation a few days ago.

Gu Qingyuan originally said that there was nothing to add fuel and vinegar, he was already a winner in this matter, and there was no need to stand in the position of the victim to fan the flames, it was too much.

After listening to this, Yang Guifei gritted her teeth and scolded a few words about the Lu family's father and son, and told Gu Qing that if anyone in Chang'an City bullied him in the future, he could enter the palace to complain, she would definitely help Gu Qing uphold justice, and said that Gu Qing had no father, no mother, no relatives and no reason, and was alone in Chang'an, how pitiful she was, she might as well treat her as a relative in the future, and she could talk about any grievances she had suffered.

Gu Qingwei only responded, and saw that Yang Guifei's eyes were red when she talked about his life experience, guessing that she might have thought of her life experience, so she hurriedly said a few jokes from her previous life to adjust the atmosphere, and Yang Guifei was quickly coaxed into tears by him.

After talking for a long time, the eunuchs outside kept playing a certain courtier waiting outside the building to meet her, so Yang Guifei ordered Gu Qing to go out of the building and walk around at will, she wanted to meet courtiers from all walks of life.

Gu Qing bowed and retired, walked out of Ziyun Tower alone, there were many officials standing outside the door, Gu Qing lowered his head, bowed and saluted as he walked, and left Ziyun Tower with a humble attitude.

Walking alone by the Qujiang Pond, looking at the vast scenery in the distance, Gu Qing took a long breath.

In fact, these days, while he is working on an errand in the Zuowei Mansion, he is thinking about the future plan, and he already has a mature plan in his heart, but unfortunately he lacks a helper, this helper must have a little power in the court, and he must be a civil servant.

was worried about who to make a chance encounter and then acquaintance, a woman jumped in front of the path by the Qujiang Pond, wearing a bright green palace skirt, her hair tied in a double bun, and a bright red peach in her hand, throwing it up as she walked, and took a bite when she received it.

The woman walked up and saw him, and the two were stunned, and then the woman threw a peach and hugged her fists in surprise: "Second brother!" ”

Gu Qing wanted to turn around and pretend not to see it, but there was no way to escape from Qujiang Pond, so he had to hug his fists in surprise: "Third brother!" ”

"Second brother!"

"Third brother!"

The joy of seeing each other is like a fierce Zhang Fei who received the second master Guan who escorted his sister-in-law back safely after five passes and six passes.
