Chapter III
Gu Qingyuan waved his hand disapprovingly: "Second sister, even if it is a spice paid tribute by Persia, but if you can make peanuts so fragrant, isn't it just to make the best use of them." ”
Nonsense, that's a very rare tribute, can it not be fragrant! Gu Wanjia gritted her teeth and thought. Resisted the idea of buttoning the plate of peanuts in front of him on Gu Qingyuan's face.
"Two days from now is the Moon Festival, can you choose a good candidate for this year's shooting?" Chu Zhan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, which attracted the attention of the three of them.
The representative totem of Loulan is the moon, and the "Moon Viewing Festival" is a very important annual festival in Loulan Kingdom, and there will be many programs that day, the most important of which is "shooting".
Loulan women are not like the Central Plains women, can only embroider and weave at home, but can learn horseback archery and martial arts like boys, this day, will select a woman who is excellent in all aspects, first ride a horse into the field, and then use light skills to step on a color pile, get a bow and a few bows and arrows, and finally the most difficult, need more excellent light skills, fly to a very high pillar, and Loulan people, will be close to the pillar of the pillar broken at will mark the red dot, the color shooter needs to fly in the process of accurately find the point, And hit with the scimitar that he carried with him, and then borrow the force of the knife to reach the top of the column directly, aiming at the place where the colored ball hangs twenty meters in front of him, and he must hit it with one hit.
In addition, Mochizuki Festival coincides with the autumn equinox and the weather is slightly cooler.
It is the day when the only "moon spirit flower" unique to Loulan in Kyushu is in full bloom, the moon spirit flower is white, very similar to the moon, all show a sense of coldness, the most peculiar thing is that it is different from all other flowers, the general flowering period is long and short, some flowers bloom for several seasons, and some flowers bloom only for a moment. However, the moon spirit flower only blooms for half a day a year, and it blooms only when the moon rises on the same day, and when the sun shines on the earth the next morning, it all withers.
Such a short flowering period, but it is the holy flower of Loulan, representing the holy and unswerving love.
The Moon Gazing Festival is full of moon spirit flowers in the city, and there are many young boys and girls who give each other moon spirit flowers to express their love for their sweethearts.
"Last time, the candidate was the second sister." Gu Shengge showed an envious look, Gu Wanjia looked at her third sister's expectant expression, and said with a smile: "Does the third sister want to shoot color, or does she have someone who wants to send the Moon Spirit Flower?" After saying this, Gu Wanjia glanced at Chu Zhan intentionally, and Yu Guang accurately captured Chu Zhan's action of holding the cup and paused for a moment,
Really. Gu Wanjia took a sip of the tea in her hand with a smile.
"No, second sister, you are making fun of me again. Last year, looking at the second sister's shooting posture, I was so envious. Gu Shengge said seriously, Gu Qingyuan smiled and said, "Third sister, that pillar is very high, aren't you afraid of accidents when you come down?" ”
"That's right, third sister, although the rules are written down, someone can catch them below, but I don't have that ability." Gu Wanjia shook her head.
"Second sister, if you don't pick it up, someone will naturally pick it up when the time comes." Gu Qingyuan said jokingly, gave Gu Wanjia another look, and then glanced at Chu Zhan meaningfully.
Gu Wanjia seemed to sense something unusual, glanced at Chu Zhan again, and rubbed the teacup with her hand thoughtfully.
Even Chu Zhan, the young general of the Chu family, couldn't stand the frequent and meaningful glances from the Gu brothers and sisters.
"Ahem, this tea is good." Chu Zhan coughed a few times unnaturally, and there was an unbelievable red in his ears.
It's a pity that Gu Shengge didn't notice that she was melancholy for the frighteningly tall pillar. Gu Qingyuan looked at his sister with a completely ignorant look, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and then began to sympathize with Ah Zhan silently.
The four of them finished a meal with their hearts in mind.
The palace of Loulan is located in the middle of Loulan, within the city wall, and the city tower at the four ends of the east and northwest of Loulan is far away.
At the end of the south is the most famous temple in Loulan - Huangming Temple; At the end of the east side is the home of the mighty generals - the Chu family; At the end of the west is the largest merchant home in Loulan, the Bai family; At the end of the north is the Tibetan Mountain, a sacred mountain covered with snow for 10,000 years.
As soon as Gu Shengge arrived at the gate of his palace, he saw Fufeng running over: "Princess! The little girl saluted rushed, and then the thief smiled: "Princess, the queen is discussing the matter of the Moon Festival with the female officials in the side hall, and it should be almost finished now." ”
As soon as Gu Shengge heard this, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately turned around and walked towards the side hall. Although Gu Shengge is too excited now, his walking posture still maintains the etiquette that a princess should have, and the silver bells on his feet jingle to show the owner's happy state of mind.
Sure enough, Gu Shengge had just walked to the side hall, the female officials had dispersed, and seeing that there was no one around, Gu Shengge took a cheerful step, unfortunately, on the corridor to the side hall, there was a noble purple brocade robe, narrow sleeves embroidered with dragon patterns, tall and handsome, and a huge man.
Gu Shengge's cheerful expression at this moment suddenly disappeared, he lowered his eyelids, walked over slowly, and saluted respectfully:
"Father"
Emperor Dongze turned around, his suave face was full of domineering as the ruler of a country, his eyebrows were cold and hard, but there was a trace of father's warmth, and the word father suddenly appeared in Gu Shengge's mind, yes, he was his own father.
Emperor Dongze nodded expressionlessly and spoke: "As a princess, you have to look like a princess, and what kind of body you are jumping into." ”
Gu Shengge seemed to have become accustomed to his sternness and indifference, and said lightly: "Erchen is guilty." ”
Emperor Dong Ze didn't say anything, withdrew his gaze, and walked past Gu Shengge with his feet raised.
Gu Shengge stood in place for a moment, then turned around and walked in the other direction, walking straight to his hall.
Standing at the gate of the palace, Fu Feng looked at Gu Shengge puzzled and asked, "Didn't the princess go to find the queen's mother, why did she come back so quickly?" ”
Gu Shengge stepped into the door, poured a glass of water, and drank it all before he spoke: "I'm not going." ”
Not going? Fufeng asked again: "Isn't the princess still very eager to go, besides, this Moon Festival has been thinking about the princess for a long time." ”
Gu Shengge stared at the cup in his hand and sneered: "Even if I tell the queen mother, it's useless, you forget, my father never let me show my head." ”
Fufeng immediately shut up after hearing this, and it is not an exaggeration for the princess's father to say that it is a nightmare for the princess since she was a child.
Thinking about the suffering that the princess has suffered when she grows up to such a big extent, Fufeng feels distressed.
Looking at the princess in front of her, she has grown so big, the pink and tender little milk baby who was carried up and down by the crown prince all day long, drooling, has now grown into a big girl, although she has not yet taken off, she has already vaguely had the shadow of the queen. Among the three children of Emperor Dongze, the third princess looks the most like the queen, the small melon seed face is slender and green, the charming big eyes are full of aura at this time, the tall nose is small and beautiful, the small mouth is slightly open, the white teeth are slightly exposed, the lips are red and the teeth are white, and unconsciously, this alluring face has quietly surpassed the queen who has the title of the first beauty in Kyushu that year.
Beauty, in front of you.
Gu Shengge walked to his room, sat down lightly on the couch, stretched out his white and slender fingers, and touched the scimitar that was secretly placed on the side of his right calf. It was the unique Loulan scimitar given by her father and mother when she was young.
In Loulan, after the woman and the queen, the family will create an exclusive scimitar as a gift.
Gu Shengge's scimitar, the blade of which was accidentally obtained by his father during the battle, was made by the best swordsmith in the world. Nine Heavens Xuantie, there are only three pieces in the world, and the other two pieces are given a scimitar to the second sister, and the largest one is a sword to the eldest brother. The handle of the knife is cast from Lingyun stone, carved with cumbersome patterns, and the jewelry inlay is exquisite, luxurious and arrogant.
Gu Shengge looked at it for a long time, thinking about the Moon Festival in a few days, and put it down gently after a while.

Gu Qingyuan grabbed Gu Shengge's ears: "I said that the clothes used to be often inexplicably sticky, it turned out that you did it." ”
Gu Shengge expressed disbelief and fired a Chu Zhan at the other party
Gu Qingyuan looked at Gu Shengge with a sigh: "No matter how powerful you are now, when you were young, you weren't picked up by me with one hand." ”
