Chapter 28: Out of the limelight

didn't expect Gu Jiuge to agree so easily, Jiang Shi was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly folded the clothes and handed them to Huiqiu, and did not forget to praise Gu Jiuge for her good vision with a smile, and chose the one piece of clothing she put the most effort into.

Gu Qinglai also got her wish and got the peony white dress, although Gu Qingwei was her sister, she didn't dare to pick it in front of Gu Qingxue, so she could only wait for Gu Qingxue to look back and forth through the two clothes, and then she took the goose yellow dress she didn't want.

"Well, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. There are so many people that the four of you sisters should take care of each other when you go out. And you, make trouble for your big sister again, and I will punish you heavily when you come back! Gu Shuyuan saw that the four of them had picked out their clothes, so he couldn't help but explain a few words. Thinking of what Gu Qingxue had done before, he turned his head to look at her and said coldly.

Gu Qingxue shrank her neck in fright when she heard this, nodded and hurriedly hid behind the Li family.

Gu Jiuge was too lazy to pretend to be with them here, and left after talking to Gu Shuyuan.

Back at the Drinking Song Garden, Gu Jiuge kept staring at the dress. In her previous life, she was out of her appearance because of this dress, and in the merciless ridicule of everyone, Xuan Lang walked towards her step by step, hugged her in front of everyone, and her heart began at that time.

"Miss, if you don't like this dress, the slave can help you change it." Seeing her staring at her clothes, Eqiu said softly as if she didn't like it.

"Tear down all the pearl glass on it, paint spring, I remember that you did the best needlework, can you help me embroider something on it?" Gu Jiu Ge raised his head and looked at the two of them and asked with a chuckle.

"Whatever the young lady wants, the slave will embroider for you!" Hearing this, Hua Chun raised her little head and said very proudly, although she was not as calm and calm as Hui Qiu, she was not without success.

After hearing this, Gu Jiuge smiled even more on his face, leaned over and whispered something in the ears of the two girls.

The Lantern Festival is generally in the evening, painting boats and swimming in the lake, and the poems are opposite, and the elegance is abnormal. Those who can go to the painting boat are all young ladies and sons from the families of the big officials in the city, and the princes and princesses will also participate. In his previous life, Gu Jiuge had only been to the painting boat once, and he became infamous after that time.

On the contrary, Gu Qinglai, with her outstanding appearance and talent, can win the first place in the painting boat every time, and I don't know how many sons are devoted to her. Over time, people only remember that there is a talented and beautiful second lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they forget that the real noble eldest lady Gu Jiuge is born.

The next day, Gu Qinglai was ready to go out after a simple tidying up, and before leaving, he said that Gu Jiuge had something wrong and might arrive later, so he asked them to go first. Gu Qinglai didn't want to be with Gu Jiuge, so he didn't shirk when he heard her say this, so he took the two Gu Qingxue sisters into the car and left.

There were already a lot of people on the boat, and they got together in twos and threes, so it was not lively.

"It's Miss Gu Er who is here!" I don't know who exclaimed, everyone hurriedly turned their eyes to the shore, and sure enough, they saw the beauty standing on the bow of the boat, slowly coming.

Her figure is already slender, and her outfit today is also extremely light, lined with this white dress, she can't say how good-looking. She came with Mingyue's hand, and most of the blooming peonies at the skirt spread with her steps, dragging the beautiful scenery on the ground, which was very charming.

"Sure enough, she is the first beauty in Dayue." The admiration came one after another, and Gu Qinglai enjoyed the feeling of the stars holding the moon very much. She has a smile on her face that is just the right curve, giving people a dignified and generous feeling.

And Gu Qingxue and the others behind her are much inferior, in fact, both of them are also beautiful and unparalleled, and their appearance is one of the best in the royal city. But Gu Qingxue is arrogant and arrogant, Gu Qingwei is timid and cowardly, compared with Gu Qinglai's dignified generosity, it is naturally not enough.

"This second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is indeed a rare beauty." Prince Xuanqing shook the folding fan in his hand, then turned sideways to look at Xuan Lang who was sitting beside him and whispered.

The corners of Xuan Lang's lips hooked slightly when he heard this, if it was about appearance and talent, Gu Qinglai was naturally impeccable, but she was born as a concubine, and this identity was enough to offset all the advantages on her, so Xuan Lang forced himself to approach Gu Jiuge, who was talentless and unattractive.

"Brother Sanhuang, if you like it, you can go and ask your father for marriage. My second cousin is good anywhere, I don't know how many princes and disciples covet it. Xuan Qing and Xuan Lang were talking, when they heard a delicate voice sound, the two looked up, only to see Xuan Jing jumping over and sitting down with him.

The ninth princess Xuan Jing, the concubine Jiang Shuzhen. And Jiang Shuzhen and Jiang are sisters of the same mother, so she has been close to Gu Qinglai since she was a child.

"Jing'er is messing around again, don't say this kind of thing again, so as not to hurt the reputation of the second lady." Xuan Lang gently tapped her head, looked at her and said pretending to reprimand.

Xuan Jing stuck out her tongue when she heard this, and waved her hand to beckon Gu Qinglai over.

"The courtiers have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Highness." Gu Qinglai was happy when he saw Xuan Lang, and hurriedly walked over to Fu Shen and said softly. She raised her eyes and glanced at Xuan Lang, and her face suddenly turned red.

"Second Miss is polite." Xuan Qing gently picked up the folding fan and helped her up, looked at her and said with a smile. Although his identity could not allow him to marry a concubine as a concubine, if such a beauty could be brought back, it would be good to put it there to raise her eyes.

"Why is it that a few concubines come out every year in the Prime Minister's Mansion, is it true that Miss Gu doesn't exist anymore?" Here, Gu Qinglai and the two were talking, when they heard a sneering voice behind them. Gu Qinglai's face turned pale when he heard this, and his beautiful eyes were already full of tears, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"Sister Situ doesn't know, my big sister has always been pampered, and she doesn't like to associate with people." Gu Qinglai turned around and looked at the woman who had just spoken and said softly, her voice was extremely soft, like a yellow warbler, and the man present suddenly lost his mind.

The woman who spoke showed a look of disdain on her face when she heard this, picked up the cup in her hand and drank it up.

"Don't call me sister, you can't afford it." Situ Luo put down the cup in his hand heavily, and then looked up at Gu Qinglai and said with a smile.

"Everyone knows what kind of person Gu Jiuge is, she doesn't have the face to come out to meet people, what is she doing complaining about my second cousin?" Xuan Jing is also an arrogant and domineering character, so he rushed forward, looked at Situ Luo and said with a sneer.

"The ninth princess is angry, you misunderstood the meaning of the courtier." Situ Luo said casually when he heard this, and did not change his attitude because Xuan Jing was a princess. She looked so indifferent, which instantly angered Xuan Jing.

"She Gu Jiuge has no talent, no virtue and no appearance, she doesn't care about her reputation at all, she pesters my third emperor brother all day long, such a shameless woman, she is afraid that she can't wait to hide herself in the quilt, where can she dare to come out to meet people. You're right? Xuan Jing took a step forward, bent down to look at Situ Luo and said with a smile.

As a royal princess, opening and closing her mouth on such an occasion is foul language, which is really jaw-dropping. But everyone could only watch, and did not dare to say anything.

"Jing'er, don't make trouble, it's all my fault today. It's me who disturbed everyone's Yaxing, I'll leave now, everyone have fun. Sister Situ shouldn't be angry. Gu Qinglai, who had not spoken, wiped the corners of his eyes, and then pulled the angry Xuan Jing, looked at everyone and said softly.

The beauty was crying, almost breaking people's hearts.

"Situ Luo, I think it's because you're used to being barbaric on weekdays that you will make friends with an unbearable woman like Gu Jiuge. Now it's clear that she doesn't dare to show up, what kind of anger are you making at the second miss here? ”

"Yes! Everyone knows that you have been friends with Gu Jiuge in the past, but you can't frame Second Miss because of this! ”

……

All of a sudden, the painting boat was full of voices of reprimands, and they were all blaming Situ Luo.

Seeing this, Xuan Jing raised her chin very proudly. Gu Jiuge had long been notorious, and now Situ Luo was speaking for her, didn't he obviously want to cause public anger?

Situ Luo's brows furrowed, his heart full of anger and helplessness.

"Sister Situ, today's things are all my fault, if you are angry, my sister will be beaten and punished." Gu Qinglai saw that everyone's emotions were up, so he walked up to Situ Luo with his skirt, saying that he was going to kneel down to give her a confession.

Seeing this, Xuan Jing hurriedly pulled her up, staring at Situ Luo with anger on her face, as if she was going to eat her alive.

"Situ Luo! Don't look at your own identity, dare to ask my second cousin to kneel for you? Xuan Jing roared angrily, Gu Qinglai heard the words and lay down on Xuan Jing to hide her face and cry, and everyone felt even more sorry for her when they saw this.

"It's her who wants to kneel! What do you have to do with me! Situ Luo couldn't speak clearly, and he was also angry.

A group of people suddenly shouted, Xuan Qing and Xuan Lang sat on the side and watched, quite a sense of watching a play.

"This rose has thorns, and the more beautiful the flower, the more poisonous it is." Xuan Qing shook the folding fan and said with a smile, Gu Qinglai just came to cause such a big conflict, if such a woman really marries back, I am afraid that the backyard will no longer be peaceful.

"The eldest brother said that the future crown princess must be of noble origin, dignified and virtuous." Xuan Lang chuckled when he heard this, but his gaze at Gu Qinglai sank.

"Kneel down and admit your mistake, and this princess will spare you! Otherwise, don't blame Princess Ben for being unkind! "Xuan Jing is also arrogant, in front of so many people today, if she doesn't punish Situ Luo well, then how can she save face? Wouldn't anyone be able to step on her head in the future?

Gu Qinglai didn't stop him when he heard this, he just stood beside Xuan Jing, looking at Situ Luo, who was trembling with anger, and sneered in his heart.

That's what happens to go against her!

"You are bullying!" Situ Luo was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"It's okay if you don't kneel, you just need to shout three times that Gu Jiuge is a cheap embryo, and this princess will spare you!"
