The spring feast is the third day of March, and all the noble ladies will gather here. At the banquet, the crowd competed for beauty, and it was naturally very lively. The noble ladies of each family are naturally desperately trying their best to show their talents and abilities to compete with others, and Su Wan, as the noble daughter of the Su family, will not be absent from such a banquet. got up early in the morning, and after dressing up, I went to the guest house to pick up Xie Yaoguang and accompany him.

Xie Yaoguang only wore a blue skirt today, which contrasted with Su Wan's goose yellow skirt. Su Wan pulled Xie Yaoguang to look left and right for a long time, and nodded with satisfaction. She just said! Yaoyao's appearance is naturally good-looking in anything, and today Yaoyao will definitely become the most eye-catching one.

I got into the carriage that had been prepared and traveled all the way. It can be seen that the carriages of each family are going to one place one by one.

To say that the Yilan Garden where the spring banquet was held was originally the garden of a certain prince of the previous dynasty, and then the prince was sentenced to exile on suspicion of rebellion. And this garden was also abandoned to this dynasty because of the fall of the previous dynasty, and the emperor's sister, Princess Zhaohui, asked for this garden to be transformed into her own private garden. This Yilan Garden is in the hands of the eldest princess Zhaohui, and the scenery of the four seasons is integrated into it, making the scenery in this garden unique.

Xie Yaoguang and Su Wan got out of the carriage one after the other. Looking at Su Wan and the other nobles, he nodded and said hello, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. Unexpectedly, there are many familiar faces among these people, but many of them have already married women.

After entering the garden. There have been many noble ladies and ladies gathered inside, and acquaintances have gathered together to talk and laugh. When two people saw Su Wan coming in, they happily greeted Su Wan and greeted him. When he saw Xie Yaoguang beside Su Wan, he was a little surprised. Looking at the face of the student, she doesn't look like a noble girl in the capital.

"This is Xie Yaoguang, a friend of mine" Su Wan took Xie Yaoguang's arm and introduced the two people to him: "Yaoyao, this is Xiao Lingyu, the daughter of Marquis Yu, and this is Xu Tianyue, the granddaughter of Mrs. Xu."

Xie Yaoguang raised his hand to hold the peer salute, and the other two also returned with the same salute.

Just as they were talking happily, an unpleasant voice interjected. Disrupted the conversation of several people. Xie Yaoguang followed the voice and saw a girl in a lilac purple skirt leading two noble girls to come slowly, looking like she was here to provoke. Raised eyebrows and glanced at the visitor, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his pupils.

"Hsieh? Why haven't I heard the name of the Xie family in the imperial capital" The girl glanced at Su Wan with disdain, and the three of them sneered: "Su Wan, have you learned your skills?" Even such a messy and unidentified person wants to bring it to the spring banquet?"

Xie Yaoguang was not annoyed when she heard this, as if she hadn't heard the girl's words. The girl was even more angry, raised her lips and sneered: "Don't you take this kind of person with no identity out quickly, waiting for the embarrassment to appear?"

"Xue Leyan, don't deceive people too much!" Su Wan originally didn't want to pay attention to her, but when she saw that the more she talked, the more she went too far, she was naturally furious.

"Hsieh? But that rich Xie family? It wouldn't be strange if that Xie appeared here......" someone next to him interjected.

Hearing the Xie family, who was rich in the world, Xue Leyan's eyes were even more disdainful. Glancing at Xie Yaoguang, he sneered: "No wonder I said why did I smell a copper smell as soon as I came in, it turned out that you were there?" I said Su Wan, why are you getting more and more tasteless, and you are also a friend from such a background? Tut-tut...... It's really funny."

Xie Yaoguang lowered his eyes, and the smile in his eyes condensed in the middle, as if he was carelessly combing the broken hair on his sideburns. raised his eyebrows lightly, raised his eyelashes, and smiled on his lips.

When Suzaku on the side saw this, he knew that this was a precursor to Xie Yaoguang's anger. Ever since she followed Xie Yaoguang, the Xie Yaoguang she had seen had always been gentle and polite. Although Xie Yaoguang seemed to have a frosty look in his eyes forever when he laughed, it was rare to see Xie Yaoguang so angry.

"If Xue Niangzi doesn't know how to write etiquette, I can teach you," Xie Yaoguang raised his head and looked at Xue Leyan and said coldly.

"How do I want you to teach, how can a daughter from a merchant teach me!" The more Xue Leyan spoke, the more angry he became, and he raised his hand to slap him.

Xie Yaoguang stepped back and avoided the slap. Glancing sideways at Suzaku, Suzaku grabbed Xue Leyan's hand. Xie Yaoguang walked over slowly, raised his hand and slapped him, then raised his eyes and glanced at Xue Leyan and said softly: "If Miss Xue is so disrespectful next time, I won't let you go so easily."

"You ......" Xue Leyan saw the coldness in Xie Yaoguang's eyes, and instantly chose to shut up.

"Yaoyao, you were too ...... just now"

"Wan'er, if I don't have an arrogant attitude, won't I be nagged by her all the time." Xie Yao's light beads suddenly gathered a smile in his pupils.

"The Queen Mother Arrives"

"Rong Guifei Niangniang arrived"

"Princess Zhaohui has arrived"

Three salutes. The three graceful women came with money in the palace maids' chamberlains, and where they went, they saw all the women and nobles bowing and bowing, and only after the three of them were seated did they raise their heads and tell them to get up.

The queen occupies the main seat, and the eldest princess Zhaohui and Concubine Rong sit on the left and right sides. Looking around at the people in the field, the queen's eyes were a little satisfied. These ladies look much better than they have ever been.

"Zhaohui, do you have any good ideas for this year's spring banquet?" The queen turned her head sideways and asked about the eldest princess Zhaohui.

The eldest princess Zhaohui thought for a while and smiled: "In the past, the spring banquet was full of these activities, why don't we get some novel things and let these little girls perform well?"

"Then Eldest Princess Zhaohui, what good idea have you come up with?" It was Rong Guifei who spoke.

"Draw lots and divide into groups, and people in each group choose what they are good at to compete with others. That's fair."

The queen agreed to the idea of the eldest princess Zhaohui. Immediately ordered someone to prepare, Xie Yaoguang didn't want to participate in such an event, but was pulled by Su Wan and had no choice but to participate in the lottery, and when she caught a glimpse of the name of the person drawn, she was stunned in her eyes. At this moment, some people in the crowd looked at him from a few steps away, turned around and looked at each other and smiled.

Each group has been divided according to the lot. Xie Yaoguang and Gu Qingzhi were in a group, and Su Wan was in a group with another person, but Xu Tianyue and Xiao Lingyu were in a group. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Xie Yaoguang and Gu Qingzhi quietly disappeared into the crowd and hid in a high pavilion overlooking them.

"The lights in front of the mountain are about to be dusk, and the mountains come and go. There are several villages in the sound of partridges, and Xiaoxiang meets the old people. Waving a feather fan, a whole towel, and a juvenile saddle horse dust. Now that he is haggard and endowed with a soul, the Confucian crown is more mistaken "Xie Yaoguang half leaned on the railing and sang, with a graceful demeanor.

"You...... Coming back?" The young woman who appeared in the cloister looked at Xie Yaoguang excitedly, tears swelled in her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly and she was speechless for a while.

She walked quickly towards Xie Yaoguang and hugged the other party, with irrepressible joy and excitement in her eyes. However, when she saw Xie Yaoguang's expression, the joy in her eyes slowly dimmed.

"Qingzhi is me back, you didn't admit your mistake" Xie Yaoguang lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Qingzhi, his tone calm.

Over the years, she has often exchanged letters with Gu Qingzhi, but she rarely meets with Gu Qingzhi. This was the first time she had officially appeared in front of Gu Qingzhi, she didn't expect that an idea from Princess Zhaohui would make him really reunite with his old friend.

"I have received your letters all these years, and at first I did not believe them. Later, your handwriting made me believe that you were still alive, and besides, with Mrs. Gu's old calculations, how could you not leave a way out for the Gu family......"

"Qingzhi, thank you" Xie Yaoguang stared at Gu Qingzhi as if she remembered something, and said with a smile: "When did you and Yun Fan get married?"

"Let's not talk about Yunfan, let's talk about you. That Xue Leyan was so arrogant and domineering, I thought you were ...... back then" Gu Qingzhi's voice froze, and after half a sound, she said: "I will join him as the Xue family's goddaughter."

I think that when the Gu family was still there, she was a noble daughter of Gusu. The Gu family is thrilling to cultivate her, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all taught by famous teachers, which one is not a skill to overwhelm everyone now. But since the fall of the Gusu Gu clan twelve years ago, no one in the world can compare with Gu Changge. Gu's long song is one person in the world.

"What do you want her to do, don't you panic?"

Gu Qingzhi looked around and said softly, "Why do you want to return to the whirlpool of the capital when you have the ability you have now?"

"Can I escape?

Can you escape? Of course, Xie Yaoguang has learned since childhood, in addition to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the collection of historical classics, it is the way of the minister and the art of assisting the king. With this learning, how can she escape the established trajectory and become an ordinary person, of course, she can only step into the temple and become a person who plays chess. What's more, the purpose of her return is most importantly for those old people who have suffered injustice to avenge their grievances and return their innocence.

"You're here to come back for His Highness the King, aren't you? Today, King Ding is ordered to return to Beijing" Gu Qingzhi had a hint of gloom in her eyes, and sighed: "Don't you know that every time King Ding returns to Kyoto by order, His Majesty will reprimand him, and that is the same if he has merit......"

Xie Yaoguang raised his eyes and sneered: "There is the crown prince and the emperor of Shouwang fanning the flames in front of him, according to the temperament of King Ding, how good can the emperor's impression of him be." He's not bad for such a son anyway."

Both of them know very well that for the emperor, King Ding is just a son who is good at fighting, but unfortunately his temper is not good, and Lao Ai contradicts himself and his brother, so he simply lets him fend for himself. King Ding has also been honestly released for so many years, and he has no complaints, except for returning to Beijing by order, he has lived in Yanmen all the year round. Xie Yaoguang understood that the reason why King Ding acted like this was just for the old things back then, and for King Ding, the accident made him lose his most admired brother, and the teacher he admired the most lost his sweetheart the most. And for such a place, he has nowhere to vent his disgust and hatred. He had to flee farther away, trying to avoid it all.

"His Royal Highness Dingwang has made a lot of contributions over the years, but there is no reward. I'm afraid it's also thanks to these two" Gu Qingzhi sneered coldly: "These two people are fighting like black-eyed chickens, why do you need to pull the king into the water"

Xie Yaoguang didn't respond to Gu Qingzhi's words, and left slowly. Before he could take a few steps, he held on to the fence, his body trembling and his face became more and more pale. Gu Qingzhi was startled when she saw Xie Yaoguang's appearance, and hurriedly held Xie Yaoguang for a moment, and was stunned when she touched Xie Yaoguang's hand. trembling and looking at Xie Yaoguang, he saw that Xie Yaoguang's face was pale and terrifying...... Xie Yaoguang's entire body leaned on Gu Qingzhi's body, and a tingling sensation like ice needles in his chest spread rapidly along his limbs, and the piercing pain was already difficult to suppress. She reluctantly raised her hand to cover her lips with a handkerchief, but finally covered her lips with a handkerchief, and after a cough, the handkerchief was already smeared with a touch of crimson.

The blood-red color is particularly dazzling.

Seeing Xie Yaoguang's appearance, Suzaku couldn't help but panic: "Miss, where did you put the medicine!"

"Ahem, ahem...... In the inside of my sleeve"

Suzaku hurriedly took the medicine out of his sleeve, and Xie Yaoguang took the pill poured out by Suzaku and was about to swallow it. Only then did his complexion ease slightly, and then Xie Yaoguang's hands were still cold and piercing. Gu Qingzhi held Xie Yaoguang's hand, although there were a thousand words surging, she didn't dare to ask. can only help Xie Yaoguang to leave with Suzaku on the left and right.
