Chapter Seventy-Five: Concubine

When Ming Shu looked at it, she knew that the woman in the cinnabar red makeup and long gown was Princess Jing, who was eating tea with a white porcelain cup from Ru kiln at this time.

While talking to the woman next to him, Yu Guang saw Mingshu and the others, and his face froze.

Yiyang didn't like this bitter aunt either, and when she saw her, she didn't see joy, so she only said thoughtfully: "The scenery here is excellent, and my aunt knows how to enjoy it." ”

Princess Jing said: "A few of us are just watching the play." The voice changed, "I am a little familiar with the two little ladies beside you, but I don't know whose family they are?" ”

Gu Mingyuan bowed obediently and took half a step back, as if waiting for the eldest sister to speak first.

Mingshu was generously blessed, "The princess is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Yiyang had already rushed to introduce: "This is the seventh lady and the eighth lady of the Pingxi Hou Mansion, called Mingshu......" She glanced at Gu Mingyuan.

Gu Mingyuan's face was a little red in embarrassment, and she was about to speak, but Mingshu had already calmly said, "Sister Mingyuan." ”

Princess Jing's eyes fell on Mingshu, her face was a few inches colder, and then she said: "Pei Niang often mentions you," paused, and laughed suddenly, "It is worthy of Li Jielan's daughter, a little person like the moon, and there is no girl in the whole Kyoto." ”

This was a little weird, and Ming Shu couldn't help but look at the princess for a while, "The princess praised it falsely." ”

Yiyang frowned, and said with a smile: "What kind of good tea does my aunt eat behind my back?" I came from afar. ”

Princess Jing looked away and said with a smile: "It's the Biluochun of Dongting, and the color and fragrance are the most wonderful." ”

Ming Shu hesitated for a moment, but still interjected: "Does the princess recognize her mother?" ”

Yiyang couldn't help but glance at Mingshu, she deliberately forked it, Princess Jing was obviously not good to Mingshu, and she didn't know how to restrain this girl.

"It's not just knowing ......" Princess Jing's sharp voice slammed, she pursed her lips and barely squeezed out a smile, "How could I not know this woman from the noble family of Kyoto?" ”

Mingshu almost wanted to ask questions, but she could only grit her teeth and block back those doubts. Reluctantly pulled out a smile, "Yes." ”

Yiyang also looked at Princess Jing with a little meaning, and her gaffe was too obvious.

Everyone was unfazed, talking and laughing.

A maid who was standing on the side came up to add a seat, and raised the bamboo curtain by half, it turned out that the stage was about to sing.

Mingshu and Gu Mingyuan were beside Yiyang, and they could just look at the stage diagonally without being blocked.

She was not in a good mood, and she couldn't lift her spirits when there was an episode. Fortunately, Gu Mingyuan didn't talk much, so Mingshu stared at the stage.

But it was a fold of "On the Wall", Mingshu watched it for a while, and couldn't help yawning.

Gu Mingyuan pushed Mingshu and said in a low voice: "If we don't go back, grandmother and mother should be in a hurry." ”

Mingshu only shook her head, and turned her face to the long-faced woman beside Princess Jing: "Madam, my sister said that there is a Western female gentleman singing here in the Hou Mansion, why don't you listen to it?" ”

The lady was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "Are you talking about Miss Rousi?" She was not here, and built a small flower hall for her to sing in the north of the garden. How do you not know? My girl went to have fun as soon as she came, and I thought you little girls were all gone. ”

Mingshu said thoughtfully: "That's it." Then he smiled and said, "Thank you, Madame, for mentioning it." ”

The woman waved her hand politely and said, "You little girls can go and play." ”

Gu Mingyuan was exposed as a lie, a little flustered, and was about to explain to Mingshu. As soon as she looked up in a hurry, she saw Princess Yiyang staring at her with interest.

She became even more distracted, opened her mouth, and did not speak for a moment.

Mingshu didn't come to ask anything, she guessed early in the morning that Gu Mingyuan was not unintentional, and asking was just for verification.

However, it is very intriguing to lose the reputation of their own sisters outside. It's one thing to fight in the nest, and it's another thing to fight in the nest.

Mingshu didn't plan to say a word to Gu Mingyuan for the time being, and only said to Yiyang: "Does the princess want to see it?" ”

Yiyang feels that she is a mature princess, and she really doesn't want to go to see it for a Westerner.

But, "Okay. His gaze turned to Gu Mingyuan again, "Your name is Gu Mingyuan?" Which room is it in the Gu family? ”

Gu Mingyuan said worriedly: "Yes, it's the second room." She smiled reluctantly, always feeling that Yiyang Gong had no kindness.

Yiyang also let out an "oh" and said casually: "I only remember that there is a lady named Ming Chu in the second room, but I don't remember you." ”

In fact, the Gu family does not treat the concubine so harshly that he does not bring him out to meet people, Gu Mingyuan does not go to the banquet much, but he is not old yet.

Gu Mingyuan's eyes were red, and he said softly, "That's my third sister." ”

Yiyang didn't pay much attention to her words, yawned, turned his face to Mingshu and said, "You accompany me to see the Western girl first, your sister is still young...... The Western woman is very uninhibited, so don't go for her good. ”

Mingshu nodded and said, "I've seen Western paintings. ”

When those women sing and dance, they only wear light veils, and what is the difference between not wearing them...... Well, there's a little more to it.

However, the performance in the Guogong Mansion, if you think about it, you know that this is not the case.

Gu Mingyuan bit his lip and said, "Thank you Your Highness for your concern." ”

Yiyang smiled indifferently, got up, and left with Mingshu.

The two followed the mother-in-law of the Guogong Mansion, wearing flowers and willows, and saw that the Guogong Mansion was built extremely exquisitely everywhere, even in the late autumn season, the whole mansion still had no slumber atmosphere.

There is no such weather in Pingxi Houfu.

Mingshu couldn't help but sigh.

……

Gu Mingyuan was left alone. Princess Jing wanted to be mean to people before, but she couldn't say anything because of Yiyang's face, so she happened to hold her breath at this time.

"Princess Yiyang looks down on you, a little lady, but your eldest sister is a fool, and she doesn't stand up for you at all, tsk."

As soon as the lid of the tea for the princess was closed, there was a clanging sound.

Gu Mingyuan's face was a little pale, he stood up suddenly, straightened his back and saluted the noble ladies, "Sister told me to stay by my mother's side, and I will leave first." ”

Then he left in order.

Princess Jing was inexplicably unhappy, threw the bowl on the table, was silent for a long time, snorted coldly, and threw off the veil and left.

After walking farther, Gu Mingyuan's face became ugly. The maid Qiu Di was a little worried, "Eight Niangzi? ”

Gu Mingyuan's tears fell suddenly, so frightened that Qiu Di was startled, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief, and was about to persuade him, when he left a large group of people and walked here.

"Is the eight girls there?" It's Lin, "What about your seventh sister?" ”

Gu Mingyuan held back his tears and said softly: "Seventh Sister accompanied Her Royal Highness Princess Yiyang to watch the Western girl sing, I was young and said I couldn't watch it." ”

Lin was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "That's because I can't look down on you as a little lady, right?" ”

After speaking, Lin's heart also became empty. Looking left and right, there were no outsiders, so I settled down.
