Chapter 14: What is the use of beauty?
Luo had already arranged for someone to prepare the carriage, she pulled Gu Mingzhu with one hand and smiled and spoke, followed by Gu Mingyue and Gu Mingyu, both of whom were beautiful and moving, with a dazzling appearance of cloud sideburns and hairpins, which made people overwhelmed, no wonder everyone in Chang'an City said that the three sister flowers of the General's Mansion were stunning.
Gu Mingyu and Gu Mingyue have inherited Luo's beauty, Mingyu has peach cheeks and apricot face, sparse eyebrows and delicate and moving, but the second lady Mingyue is better, graceful and graceful, elegant and dignified, and what is even more rare is that she has a gentle and amiable temperament, and everyone is willing to get close to her.
But their appearance is much inferior to Gu Mingzhu.
Gu Mingzhu's beauty is like the first bloom of a peony under the morning sun, with the light of the snow and frost, like a new moon and a halo, like a flower and tree piling up snow, so beautiful that people can't help but feel ashamed of themselves, and dare not look directly at such a complexion.
People who have seen her say that she looks like the eldest princess of Xuanyang back then, and some people even say that she is better than the blue, and she is even better than the eldest princess of Xuanyang.
It's just a pity that no one cares about Gu Mingzhu's beauty over the years, but her reputation for being rude and willful has spread all over Chang'an.
But for some reason, today's Gu Mingzhu doesn't look as dazzling as before, her face is a little dull, and even the white and transparent skin like jade in the past is a little burnt yellow, plus the simple and clumsy double flat bun on her head, and the thick flowing sea that covers her forehead at some point, Shengsheng folded most of her appearance in half, it looks a lot more ordinary, and Luo Zhi couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart.
"Mingzhu, are you usable the soothing soup you sent yesterday?" She smiled and said affectionately to Gu Mingzhu, "I heard your sister come back and talk about it, only to know that in addition to that kind of thing, Xihe Zhuangzi almost hurt you, which really made my heart tremble, and I hurriedly asked someone to prepare a soothing soup for one of your sisters." ”
Gu Mingzhu smiled faintly: "Madame is thoughtful, I didn't have anything yesterday, and I didn't have much fun looking at the polo, so I left early, but I haven't seen what happened later, so I don't need any soothing soup." ”
She raised her eyes and looked at Luo, "But Xiaokui followed me and was bluffed by the lady of the Lu family, I simply rewarded her with that soothing soup, but she couldn't get up this morning, it can be seen that she was really frightened, so let her stay in the house today to rest." The tone was so calm that it was impossible to hear anything.
Roche listened and nodded gently: "It's okay if you're fine, what happened yesterday...... It's also strange, how could you startle the horse in a good way, it's really dangerous, but fortunately you all came back well. She sighed, "It's just the appearance of the lady of the Lu family, I don't know what will happen yet." ”
Looking at her compassionate look, the smile on Gu Mingzhu's face became lighter and lighter, and she didn't speak again. I'm afraid that this result will disappoint Luo, she didn't have an accident, and went to the Qujiang banquet safe and sound, I'm afraid that it will take a lot of effort to teach those who have a heart.
Before getting into the carriage, Gu Mingzhu rejected Luo's plan to invite her to ride with her, got into her own carriage, and went to the outside of the market first, Luo took Gu Mingyue and Gu Mingyu sisters to make a carriage and follow behind, and galloped towards the Qujiang River together.
On the carriage, Gu Mingzhu leaned on the soft pillow, bored looking at the passing streets, in her eyes, Chang'an City is like this year after year, she has returned to this year many times, she has no interest in watching more, and she has no half of the excitement and anticipation for the next Xingyuan Spring Exploration Banquet.
Abi was waiting on the side, but her expression was a little uneasy, and she couldn't help but whisper in a low voice: "Lady, I think Madame is right, today is the Queen of Heaven Niangniang presiding over the Spring Festival Banquet, and the lady's dress is afraid to be ......" She bit her lip and was worried.
Gu Mingzhu smiled when she heard this: "Are you afraid that my dress will not stand out among those ladies?" ”
Today is the Qujiang banquet, and the queen of heaven has summoned all the ladies in Chang'an's mansion to go to Ziyun Tower to meet her, but I am afraid that all of them have secretly worked hard and worked this dress and jewelry.
But her own lady didn't know why she was dressed up like this, a dress that looked very ordinary, and there were few hairpin rings on her body, and the bun on her head that had been tossed for a long time according to her instructions, she was obviously a peerless beauty, but she was dressed up as a delicate and ordinary little lady.
Gu Mingzhu looked at Abi's worried appearance, smiled even more, and touched the hair in front of his forehead: "What's the matter, this appearance is appropriate." After saying that, his face slowly faded, and his eyes were cold.
Today's Qujiang banquet is not so simple, she can't be careless, she can only protect herself by dealing with it carefully, and she will not become someone else's pawn.
Ah Bi naturally didn't understand her thoughts, but just shook her head suspiciously, she didn't understand why the lady would say this, she was obviously looking forward to winning the first place in the Qujiang banquet, and she could be valued by the queen of heaven, and then asked the general to enter the palace to intercede, so that she could marry His Royal Highness King Xian.
She remembered that the lady was in order to overwhelm the crowd at the Qujiang banquet, and specially asked her to go to Tianxiangfang to order more than ten precious Shu brocades, all of which were transported back to Chang'an from Bashu day and night, just to make a few sets of dresses for her to choose, but in the end, she was dressed like this! If it weren't for Gu Mingzhu's personal orders, she wouldn't dare to think about it anyway, the lady's current appearance taught her to look really awkward.
She pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Wouldn't this teach other ladies to be in the limelight?" ”
Gu Mingzhu's bright eyes were still shining, and a shallow and faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "That's good, they won't know what the use of being beautiful at this time." ”
What is useful is to protect yourself first!
