Chapter 131: There is a banquet in the palace

The red lotus fragrance remnants of jade in autumn, lightly dissolve Luo Shang, and go on the Lanzhou alone.

Gu Qingyi inadvertently flipped to Yi'an Jushi's "A Cut of Plums", was stunned for a while, and heard someone calling her in a trance, and when she looked up, it was Mama Xu.

"Mama, what's wrong?"

Mama Xu handed her an invitation, "Princess, this is an invitation from Duanwang's Mansion, asking you to go to the mansion tomorrow to enjoy the flowers." ”

"What's so famous about this flower-viewing feast?"

Gu Qingyi flipped through the post and raised her eyebrows a little puzzled. This time, she was sick and recuperating, and the less important posts were handled by Peng Dexi and Mama Xu, and if they were important, they were sent to King Qin's outer study, which was the first time she received an invitation.

"The princess doesn't know, Prince Duan's son has not yet married, and this flower-viewing banquet has invited many famous nobles and young talents, I'm afraid that in the name of the flower-viewing banquet, the princess will look at the princess." Mama Xu said, "After all, Duanwang's Mansion is unusual, so the slave maid sent it to you on her own initiative." ”

"Mama knows me." Gu Qingyi nodded approvingly, "On the day of the wedding, Princess Duan took care of me a lot, and now that Duanwang Mansion is feasting, she has to give face to everything." Mama, you tell me to go down and let people get ready to go out tomorrow. ”

Now that she is seated, it is not a big deal to go out to the banquet.

Mama Xu hesitated, Gu Qingyi raised her eyebrows, "Mama has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Mama Xu glanced at her cautiously, "Princess, do you need to tell the prince about going to the banquet tomorrow?" ”

Gu Qingyi shook his head lightly, "The prince is busy with affairs, so there is no need to disturb him." ”

"Yes, the slave and the maid know, and the slave and the maid will retire first."

The room fell silent suddenly, but Gu Qingyi couldn't read the book anymore, so she simply fell asleep on the couch, and seemed to see King Qin when she was half asleep.

It's just a dream.

And so it came to the second day.

Although it was a flower viewing banquet in Duanwang's Mansion, it was also the first time that Gu Qingyi appeared as Princess Qin, and she had to dress up for anything.

The maids changed her into an azure full-breasted skirt, the hibiscus was half-open, the lotus leaves were repeated, and the delicate arc was stacked in the front placket, the outer cover was an azure gauze, the jade belt covered the waist, and the turquoise ribbon hung with a piece of mutton fat jade to press the skirt. The autumn day was cold, and in order to cover the curvature of her lower abdomen, Mama Xu added a white cloak to her, which made her eyebrows picturesque and beautiful.

Gu Qingyi looked at himself in the bronze mirror, the paleness of the two eyes was smeared with rouge, his eyebrows were like Yuandai, and his red lips were two points, and there was no rudeness anymore, so he put his hand on Handong's palm and said softly, "Let's go." ”

Duanwang's Mansion and Qinwang's Mansion are separated by two streets.

From afar, you can feel the noisy and lively atmosphere, this is the freshness that Gu Qingyi, who has been sick in bed for a long time, has not experienced for a long time, she can't help but feel refreshed, and there is a little more spirit between her eyebrows.

The frame of the Qin Wangfu stopped at the gate of the Duanwang Mansion, and two handsome maids jumped out of the carriage, followed by a slender and white jade hand stretched out, and the owner of the jade hand was carefully supported by the two maids, and when she looked up, everyone saw her appearance clearly - elegant and square, glamorous but not vulgar, slender as willow, graceful as a peony, not the famous princess of Qin, which one?

"It was Princess Qin, no wonder Princess Laoduan's personal grandmother greeted her in person."

"Who says it's not, Princess Qin has always been low-key and doesn't like to socialize, but I didn't expect to be able to attend Princess Duan's flower-viewing banquet this time."

"Where is it low-key, Princess Qin is not in good health, she has been recuperating, so she just put off socializing, and now it seems that she is in good health."

……

The people around were talking, Gu Qingyi didn't hear it, he got on the cuihu light silk car, and after a quarter of an hour, he vaguely heard a song of warblers, and knew that he had arrived at the location.

Sure enough, she lifted the curtain and came out, her hands were clenched into the warm palms, and Princess Duan had a warm and kind smile on her face, "Niece and daughter-in-law, I can be regarded as waiting for you." I received your reply yesterday, but I was very excited, and they all said that Princess Qin was low-key and unsociable, no, I was still invited. ”

Gu Qingyi pursed her lips and smiled, "Uncle Princess has tormented me, even if she calls me by name." I like to be lively before it's too late, how can I be low-key and not social. It's just that the body is not angry, and he accidentally contracted the wind cold, and he was intermittent, and he has only recovered recently. I also want to thank my uncle and princess for thinking about me and telling me to come out to play. ”

"It's been a lot, good boy, you've suffered." Princess Duan looked at it, and saw that she was indeed recovering from a serious illness, and her heart was even more ironing, and she hurriedly took her hand into the table, and said with a smile, "I can invite you out, I can be regarded as earning a lot of face." I have to take good care of you today, lest you be afraid of me and ignore me next time. ”

Princess Duan has an amiable and humorous personality, Gu Qingyi was amused by her and laughed again and again, her eyebrows and eyes shone brightly, and her posture and bearing were not inferior to the lady and lady present, which caused everyone to pay attention to them openly or secretly, and secretly evaluated the rumored Princess Qin in her heart, and so on.

Gu Qingyi didn't come early, the people who should have come have almost arrived, Princess Duan introduced her to everyone present one by one, Gu Qingyi paid special attention to those girls with extraordinary backgrounds, if nothing else, the princess of Duanwangfu was from among them.

The county lord of Yu'an is also there, she is wearing a big red group today, as delicate and stingy as a rose, Gu Qingyi has just sat down, she sneered in a weird manner, "I was still the princess of Qin, and I was going to disappear from the social circle in Beijing, and it turned out that I would come out, which is really strange." ”

The strong smell of gunpowder made the laughter and laughter in the banquet suddenly solidify, and the ladies and ladies of each family hurriedly looked at their noses and noses, as if they had not heard the provocative words of the county lord of Yu'an-the gods fought, and the little ghosts suffered, and these two were not characters they could afford to provoke.

What kind of characters will disappear from social circles? Although it is known by referring to Zhang's mother and daughter. The county lord of Yu'an sarcastically ridiculed Gu Qingyi's mother's family in one sentence, and brought her with him, which I have to say is very sour.

The smile on Gu Qingyi's face did not change, and he said softly, "Actually, I was also very surprised. I heard that the wedding date of the county lord and Yongyi Hou Shizi is approaching, but I didn't expect to see you at the banquet, and it was really very leisurely. ”

Before the wedding, the girls who have not left the cabinet are generally preparing for marriage at home, and it is really rare for the county lord of Yu'an to come out to participate in the banquet with such fanfare.

The county lord of Yu'an was rebelled against the army, and he was immediately angry, if she hadn't heard that Princess Qin would come, why would she have disobeyed her mother's order and ran out?

She stared at Gu Qingyi's face hatefully, and just as she was about to sneer at each other, she was pressed by Princess Duan's shoulder, and the other party glanced at her warningly, "Yu'an, you need to be honored as Princess Qin's cousin-in-law, this is your etiquette for treating the elder?" ”

The county lord of Yu'an, who was accused by the elders, suddenly blushed, with her temperament, she would definitely leave the table after being humiliated by this, but her expression only changed a few times, and she still sat in the seat without moving, which was strange.

Princess Duan thought about screening several times, but she never expected that the county lord of Yu'an and Princess Qin would have a holiday, if she knew in advance, she would never let the county lord of Yu'an come in. But it's too late to say anything now, and seeing that Gu Qingyi is not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Princess Duan put a smile on her face again, and laughter resumed during the banquet, as if the dispute had never happened, and the ability to whitewash the peace was everyone's social instinct.

Gu Qingyi never took the county lord of Yu'an to heart, while paying attention to the fresh topics that the ladies and ladies talked about, while looking at the surrounding environment, because it was a flower viewing banquet, the banquet was set up in the garden of Duanwang's Mansion, and the layout of the garden was quite southern charm, exquisite and deep, and there was no cave.

The whole garden is surrounded in the long verandah, within the square world, five steps on the first floor, ten steps on the first floor, rockery pavilions can be seen everywhere, the closest to the banquet is a two-storey eaves pavilion, intrigues, green tiles and red walls, slim and elegant. There are many people in the pavilion, and occasionally there is a loud noise, thinking that it should be the male guests such as Duanwang Shizi, from their point of view, they should be able to see the female guests in the banquet, such an arrangement can be said to be unsatisfactory.

I don't know if it's an illusion, there is always a vague gaze on him, but Gu Qingyi looked up, but he couldn't see the figure clearly, so he had to give up, and he was too careful. With that doubtful effort, it is better to appreciate a few more autumn chrysanthemums with different postures in the garden.

When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom. The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor.

In the season when the flowers bloom or fail, the autumn chrysanthemum occupies the world, and the chrysanthemum that can be placed into the palace garden is a famous product, as far as the eye can see, there is a green peony with a flower color such as jade, and the flower path reaches to a foot; There are ten-zhang bead curtains that bloom like waterfalls and flutter like catkins; There are green clothes with green petals and pink and purple tails......

These famous chrysanthemums have different postures and different styles, and they can be tasted carefully. Gu Qingyi's favorite is the West Lake Willow Moon, the light yellow petals are pure in color, the petals are hugging, slightly revealing the heart of the flower, and the petals in the middle are rotating and open, as if the water of the West Lake with the willow bank and the moon in the sky is clear and clear, which is fascinating.

Even if Princess Duan was inspecting the appearance and temperament of the young ladies of each family, she was always paying attention to Gu Qingyi's movements, and when she saw her eyes glued to the willow moon of the West Lake, she asked with a smile, "Qingyi likes this chrysanthemum?" When the banquet is over, I will have you sent to the palace. ”

Gu Qingyi was stunned for a while, "If you don't have merit, how can you covet the good things of your uncle and princess." ”

"It's just a flower, and it's a blessing to be seen by you." Princess Duan saw that she was still embarrassed, so she said, "Then let's do it, the young ladies plan to write poems in the daisy, so how about you transcribing poems for them?" Of course, that West Lake willow moon will be your pen fee. Don't be too little, I can't afford more. ”

Gu Qingyi knew that she had good intentions, so she no longer refused, "If you young ladies don't dislike my ugly handwriting, then I will be ugly." ”

It was an unexpected joy to have Princess Qin write and copy poems on her behalf, and the girls in the boudoir present were all flattered, and they didn't dare to be tired and tired, this flattering appearance made the county lord of Yu'an roll his eyes, and sneered a few times, which made them red-faced, but they stopped.

Not to mention the county lord of Yu'an, even Gu Qingyi was a little overwhelmed by their stammers. If the flattery of those ladies and ladies can be explained as the suppression of class status, then the overzealous attitude of the princess seems to be problematic, after all, she is an elder, and there is really no need to please her like this.

Yes, flattering, Princess Duan's attitude towards her is almost flattering. She doesn't find herself invincible, the only thing that can explain it is not her that they please, but the identity she represents.

The power and status represented by King Qin were even more extraordinary than she imagined.
