Chapter 58: Poetry Tasting Club
No matter how Cardamom screams, Chu Yunsheng just nests in the quilt and doesn't come out.
When the Queen Mother heard about this matter, she asked Aunt Yulan to come over and persuade her, the Queen Mother's original intention was to let Chu Yunsheng act in a low-key manner at the poetry tasting meeting, not to let her go.
Chu Yunsheng poked out a small head from the quilt, "The poetry tasting meeting should have begun, and Pingyang will definitely become the focus if he goes now." Aunt Yulan thought about it, it seemed to be the same thing, and asked Cardamom to help Chu Yunsheng dress up, and she went to ask the Queen Mother for instructions.
Aunt Yulan asked the Queen Mother to come back yet, and the Queen sent the palace maid over, saying that the poetry tasting meeting had begun, so she didn't go alone.
Chu Yunsheng looked at himself in the bronze mirror, his red lips hooked, it took so long, the poetry tasting meeting finally began!
She looked at the bronze mirror, put on the last beaded flower, turned her head and said to the palace maid regretfully, "Pingyang suffered from heat stroke yesterday, and today is still a little uncomfortable. ”
The palace maid looked at Chu Yunsheng, she looked good, where should she have a heat stroke, this is obviously an excuse for not wanting to go, "When I sent the invitation yesterday, why didn't I hear the county lord say it." ”
This palace maid is bold, Chu Yunsheng couldn't help but glance at it, she had a few more hairpins on her hair than ordinary palace maids, and her clothes were not all pink and white, she was expected to be the big palace maid next to the queen, "The invitation sent by Fengluan Palace yesterday morning, the heat stroke in the afternoon of Pingyang." ”
The county lord said so, and the palace maid couldn't say anything more. When I walked out of the door, I met Aunt Yulan who asked the Queen Mother to come back, Aunt Yulan stopped, "It looks like someone next to the queen, and the queen asked you to urge the county lord to go to the poetry meeting?" ”
The palace maid nodded, "The county lord of Pingyang didn't go alone, the queen asked the slave maid to urge, the county lord said that she had heat stroke, and the slave maid was about to return to the queen." ”
Aunt Yulan nodded calmly, "The county lord needs to recuperate, you can go!" ”
After the palace maid walked away, Aunt Yulan walked up to Chu Yunsheng, "The queen mother agrees that the county lord will not go, but if the county lord claims illness, the queen will probably ask the imperial doctor." ”
Chu Yunsheng had already left a hand, "Yesterday Pingyang came to see the imperial doctor, and there were slight symptoms of heat stroke. ”
"Since you have a heat stroke, the county lord will take care of it in Changle Palace!" Aunt Yulan couldn't help but shake her head, it turned out that the county lord had already planned it. Aunt Yulan thought of something, and then said, "The Queen Mother asked me to tell the county lord that the poetry club was originally to choose concubines for the Seven Princes, and His Majesty said that there are many sons of families in the capital who are not married, and they are authorized to go to all the sons of the families in Beijing, and the Xuan Shizi of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion is also among them. ”
Chu Yunsheng was stunned, holding back the excitement in her heart, and also hiding the regret in her heart, she nodded quietly, "Got it." ”
If she shows up at the poetry tasting party, what else can she do if she can look at Xuan Shizi a few more times? Do you still expect Xuan Shizi to take a fancy to her and come to Yongning Mansion to propose marriage?
On the contrary, she will be selected by Xiao Qing as the princess and marry Beidi, which is really picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.
The Imperial Garden was crowded with celebrities and nobles, and it was lively and lively. Changle Palace was lifeless, and Chu Yunsheng was reading and practicing calligraphy very calmly, waiting for good news from the Imperial Garden.
Around noon, Cardamom came over and asked Gu Yitang to see him.
Chu Yunsheng was quite surprised, although Yongning Mansion and Wuliehou Mansion were relatives, but the two families were not close, and when they met on weekdays, they nodded and said hello.
How could Gu Yitang think of coming to her?
"The queen's poetry tasting party also invited Miss Gu, Miss Gu has a marriage contract with King Su, and she feels inconvenient to stay in the imperial garden, so she plans to walk around, so she came to this Changle Palace."
Dare to be like this, Chu Yunsheng put away the written notebook, and said, "The person who comes is a guest, please come in!" ”
Cardamom went to invite Gu Yitang, but when she came back, she said that the Queen Mother called Gu Yitang to the side hall to speak, Chu Yunsheng didn't say anything, picked up the scroll next to him and read it.
The book in Chu Yunsheng's hand was about to turn to the end, Gu Yitang came over just now, probably because of today's poetry meeting, she wore a blue skirt, and her face, which was not stained with fine dust, was swept with light makeup, which was even more bright and moving, she said slowly, "Just now, the Queen Mother called Yitang and said a few words in the past, I didn't let the county lord wait for a long time!" ”
"It's fine." Chu Yunsheng shook his head and looked at Gu Yitang's beauty, a little trance.
Gu Yitang caught a glimpse of the scroll in her hand, and thought that she was reading a book just now, "In this palace, almost all the people have gone to the imperial garden, and only the county lord is idle here, and the county lord will not think that Yitang will disturb the county lord to read the book!" ”
"Pingyang has been in Changle Palace for so many days, and it is almost moldy, it is rare to meet someone who can speak, and it is too late to be happy!" After speaking, Chu Yunsheng asked Cardamom to prepare tea.
The two talked for a while, and Chu Yunsheng turned the topic to Gu Changling, "The last time I met Cousin Gu in Qianfu Temple, I suddenly thought that my cousin was not yet in the age of the weak crown, and my uncle was carrying the affairs of the court, I don't know what my cousin is busy with!" ”
Gu Yitang sighed, "My brother was away from home for seven of the first ten days, and I don't know what I'm busy with." Now it's even worse, I haven't returned home for more than a month, and I only let Zhu Ba pass a message back, saying that he asked for a bracelet to be offered in Qianfu Temple for 7749 days, and during this time, he stayed in Qianfu Temple to accompany the eldest princess. ”
Chu Yunsheng lowered his eyelids, "You don't know, what is your cousin busy with?" ”
"I don't know."
In order not to appear deliberate, Chu Yunsheng had no choice but to put away his thoughts.
After a while, Gu Yitang talked about the Hanlian Pond next to the Imperial Garden, Chu Yunsheng originally didn't want to go, thinking that Xuan Shizi was in the Imperial Garden, and the Hanlian Pond was some distance away from the Imperial Garden, if he could look at Xuan Shizi from a distance, it would be good.
On the palace road from Changle Palace to Hanlian Pond, Chu Yunsheng didn't see any figures, she could probably imagine what kind of grand scene the Imperial Garden was.
She didn't want to pass through the Imperial Garden, so she took a detour to the Hanlian Pond.
When I walked to the side of Yan Shan, I saw the sound and shadow in the pavilion, separated by a relatively long distance, I didn't see my face clearly, and I was full of jewels, I didn't think it was an ordinary lady from a family.
She stopped and said regretfully, "It seems that someone has already taken the lead." ”
Just as he was about to leave, a maid came from the other side of the pavilion, "The county lord of Pingyang and Miss Gu will stay, and the princess of my family will ask the two young ladies to come over and talk about it." ”
Chu Yunsheng looked at the person in the pavilion who was dressed as a woman, if it was a princess, the only princess in the royal family who married was the third princess, Princess Minyang.
She and Princess Minyang could only be regarded as nodding friends, she didn't plan to go, turned her head to look at Gu Yitang, and didn't know what she was going to do.
The palace maid said, "The purpose of the poetry tasting meeting is to choose a concubine for the seven princes and the son of the family to choose a wife, my princess has been married, and it is inconvenient to go to the poetry tasting meeting, so I found this quiet place to rest, presumably Miss Gu is the same!" ”
