Chapter 23 The eyes are full of morning light
23
Rushing to the talent meeting on October 10, Gu Nanqin asked Xiao Zi'an to help him sneak out of the palace early in the morning.
I didn't plan to let Xiao Zi'an follow, but since Gu Nanqin almost lost her life last time, this time Xiao Zi'an was determined not to allow her to travel alone.
"Huh? But those talents are all women, how do you get in? Gu Nanqin said this seriously, but her brain twitched, and somehow, Xiao Zi'an's appearance of dressing up as a woman suddenly appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Zi'an was confused, but then she also thought of the reason why she was laughing, and a blush appeared from her neck, but it was rare for her face to change in front of the princess: "...... Don't laugh. β
But Gu Nanqin's women's clothing association couldn't be restrained at all, not only laughed more happily under his harsh words, but also began to hold his stomach, as if laughing until his stomach hurt.
It wasn't until Xiao Zi'an's face turned ugly and blue that Gu Nanqin suppressed a slight laugh outside the palace wall: "Yes, I was wrong, I shouldn't have laughed at you." Isn't that good? β
Xiao Zi'an eased his complexion at this time, but he was still silent, obviously still angry.
Gu Nanqin's mind turned, and soon took advantage of the early morning sun to grab something into the void, and then gently put it in front of him, with a smile like a peach blossom blooming: "Give it to you, you take it, and you won't be angry anymore, okay?" β
Xiao Zi'an was a little puzzled, and in a daze, she still reached out to take it, but unexpectedly she took it empty-there was clearly nothing in her slender jade hand.
His face was full of wonder, and he heard the princess say: "It is said that the plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning, and I will give you this ...... full of morning light."
After that, I didn't forget to smirk proudly, and the whole thing looked like a treacherous and successful frolic.
She was just joking, so she wanted to change Xiao Zi'an's mood. But in Xiao Zi'an's stunned gaze, the dazzling flickering in her eyes was like a peach blossom blooming, and her eyes were really full of morning light......
It was rare for the little daughter to have such a playful thought, originally pointing to his annoyance and anger after being played, but Gu Nanqin didn't expect that the person in front of him was not only embarrassed, but even his face and neck were red, and he was as red as a ripe small fish and shrimp in a moment.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Gu Nanqin stepped forward in surprise and stretched out her hand to reach out to his forehead, "Isn't it too cold in the early morning and froze for you?" β
But before the outstretched claw could touch the man's forehead, he suddenly stopped him.
The redness on his face seemed to have improved slightly, but Xiao Zi'an's words were still a little unnatural: "No, it's okay." β
Gu Nanqin insisted on wanting to probe his forehead, for fear that this person would have a high fever halfway, but Xiao Zi'an was as determined as if she had swallowed a weighing stone this time, not only did she not allow her to probe her forehead, but also urged with a straight face: "Aren't you going to Linghua Garden to participate in the Caisi meeting?" If you don't go, it's too late. β
Gu Nanqin was rarely deflated, but when he faced the person in front of him, he really didn't have a problem with him.
With a flat mouth and a slight grievance on his face, Gu Nanqin still took a step towards Linghua Garden.
Nangong Changle's carriage was already waiting near the tavern next to him, and he himself was anxious: "This stinky girl, didn't she say that she would come to accompany me today, why is there no sound again?" Don't get caught up with any strange people......"
"Who's the stinky girl?" Gu Nanqin and her groom were also familiar with each other, and they were able to lift the carriage curtain without any obstacles, and they happened to hear such a sentence.
When Changle saw her, his face suddenly turned from cloudy to clear: "Alas? You're here, great, come in! As he spoke, he dragged Gu Nanqin into the carriage and handed over a few pieces of clothes and hair accessories, "Come on, these are all prepared for you, hurry up and change them." Today, I heard that Prime Minister Jiang will also be there, and all the ladies will definitely be half an hour in the morning. If I had arrived at the usual time, they would have to gossip again. β
"Huh?" Gu Nanqin glanced at Nangong Changle's red dress, and he was undressing while saying suspiciously, "Jiang Li? Why did he come? Didn't you say that only the nobles participated? β
"You don't know. Talent meeting, this is a banquet for the nobles to show their literary talents, calligraphy and painting, if there are no others to cheer, who can those nobles still fight for? Changle glanced at her and explained to her in a few words.
"Wait, who's coming?" Gu Nanqin secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly asked.
"Well, if you don't know Prime Minister Jiang, you may not know other people......" Changle frowned and thought seriously for a while before continuing, "Come and see the noble ladies performing their talents, naturally they are all young masters and sons of various families; Or some older wives and aunts who pay attention to choosing wives for their children. You have lived in the deep palace for a long time, so naturally you won't know those people. β
Gu Nanqin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." As for that Jiang Li, I really haven't seen it, and he naturally can't recognize me. β
"That's foolproof." Changle quickly cut her hair bun, as simple as the maids of the Nangong family, but he couldn't hide Gu Nanqin's stunning appearance.
"Well, it's bad." Changle looked at her and half-narrowed his eyes with a slight hesitation.
"How?" Gu Nanqin blurted out and asked, glancing at herself in a small square mirror out of the corner of her eye, and then she understood why Changle had this doubtβalthough the girl in the mirror was combing her maid's hair in a bun, she still had red lips and white teeth, and her eyes were like morning stars.
"Well, I'm a bit conspicuous." Gu Nanqin's face was a little hesitant, and then he gritted his teeth and took Changle's fat powder box, took some eyebrows and put them in the palm of his hand, put his hands together, wiped them evenly, and mixed some powder for women's dough covering, which was regarded as tossing a color that was still gray, and covered the whole pretty face with his hand.
Changle is also smart, and quickly figured out why she was so tormented: "Clever! With a little modification of your complexion, not many people will notice your appearance. β
"Alas, it is really a fault that people are too beautiful." Gu Nanqin was also fast, but he had already completed the cover on his face in a moment. At this time, he looked at himself in the mirror with a slightly gray face, and was very satisfied with his finished product, but he didn't forget to blink at Changle slyly.
"Stinky girl, you mean I'm not beautiful?!" Changle pounced and was about to beat him, Gu Nanqin hurriedly ran out of the carriage with a smile on his face: "Don't be angry." Today, it's your show. β
Changle was angry at this time, rearranged his dress, and then put on a slight smile, and then walked down from the carriage gracefully and moderately, and inadvertently glanced at Xiao Zi'an not far away from the corner of his eye, and then was surprised: "Why is he here too?" β
"Well, I can't control him anymore." Gu Nanqin was apologetic, and immediately defended again, "Don't worry, he will only guard outside and won't go in." β
"Whew, I naturally can't control it, it's just that you have to toss yourself well." There are other deep meanings in these words, but it is a pity that Changle looked at Gu Nanqin, who didn't feel anything in her words at all.
