Chapter 6 It's Different
Playing polo is the most fashionable trick in the Chang'an Guifu, this horse game from the northwest Xianbei is highly sought after by the Celestial Empire, and even Emperor Taizong personally went down to compete with the Tibetan envoys from time to time. The ladies of your house naturally refuse to lag behind, and often invite them to play polo together, and the sticks and horses are also always available, which is also a means of secret comparison.
Early in the morning, Xiao Kui held a new set of Hu clothes and sent them to Gu Mingzhu, the purple and gold silk clothes were finely and densely embroidered with lifelike butterflies and peony flowers, and a pair of lambskin boots were also crowned with thumb-sized pearls, which looked very luxurious and dazzling, which was ordered by Gu Mingzhu to order them in Tianxiangfang earlier.
Abi looked at the Hu suit, stretched out her hand to take it, and wanted to unfold it to change it for Gu Mingzhu: "Fortunately, it was delivered in time." ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at the Hu suit and frowned slightly, this is after she fell in love with King Xian Li Jing at first sight when she worshiped on the Yuan Day, let people find out that he likes to watch polo, so she hurriedly ordered someone to go to Tianxiangfang to order, the style and clothing are all first-class, in order to have the opportunity to show his style and brilliance in front of King Xian, so that he can be attentive to himself.
The first time, in order to prepare for the Qujiang banquet, she refused Guo Xiuniang's invitation, and stayed in the mansion wholeheartedly to follow the rules of female historiography, but I don't know who let the news out, saying that King Xian and His Royal Highness King Xian would also go to Xihe Zhuangzi to watch this polo match, Gu Mingzhu hurriedly changed into this Hu suit and rushed to Xihe Zhuangzi, in order to let King Xian see himself, knowing that he was not good at riding horses, but he recklessly accepted the provocation of Guo Xiuniang and several people, and rode off the field.
Gu Mingzhu looked at the gorgeous and dazzling Hufu in front of him, reached out and touched the smooth robe, at this moment this Hufu is still clean and bright, not stained with blood, and has not fallen into the dust.
"Put it away, and send another set." She withdrew her hand, didn't look at the suit again, and waved her hand calmly.
Ah Bi and Xiao Kui both looked at her in surprise and murmured, "Lady, what's ......?"
Xiao Kui hurriedly said: "The maid asked someone to send the previous set." ”
Gu Mingzhu still shook his head: "Send a set of plain dresses, I'll just go over and take a look, and it won't end." "She has always been high-spirited and domineering, and her dresses and jewelry are all top-notch, and she wants to press the group of ladies who look down on her, so naturally she can't wear it.
Ah Bi and Xiao Kui glanced at each other, and clearly saw that each other's eyes were surprised, but they didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly prepared according to the instructions, but their hearts were full of doubts, according to the lady's temperament, how could they give up the freshly made Hu Fu and wear a plain dress, and said that they would not end, but they couldn't be clearer, in order to let His Royal Highness King Xian take a look at her more, the lady tried her best to follow the rules of teaching female history, and forced herself to learn to ride a horse, these are not just talking.
After picking for a while, Gu Mingzhu picked out a set of dresses that didn't look outstanding, a blue smoky Luo short shirt with big sleeves, a jade Tuanyun Liuxian skirt, and a silver light gauze ribbon around her waist. Changing into this body, Gu Mingzhu exhaled lightly and said, "Tell someone to prepare the car and go to Xihe Zhuangzi." The tone was calm, loud, with cold disdain.
Ah Bi and Xiao Kui looked at Gu Mingzhu, who was dressed very differently from the usual in front of them, and they were speechless for a long time, this really didn't look like their lady, but the person in front of them was clearly Gu Mingzhu, but his temperament seemed to have changed.
The carriage was quickly ready, and Gu Mingzhu took Xiaokui out of the house. After holding Xiaokui's hand into the carriage, she closed her eyes and leaned on the pillow, not looking at the lively street market outside the carriage.
Xiao Kui took the picket and added spices to the hollow silver sachet hanging on the four corners of the carriage, and said softly to Gu Mingzhu: "Lady, when Fang Cai asked people to prepare the carriage, I heard that the second lady and the third lady had already gone to Xihe Zhuangzi. She looked at Gu Mingzhu's face before she said, "I heard that His Royal Highness King Xian and His Royal Highness King Xian will also go today." She didn't know whether this news was good or bad for Gu Mingzhu, but she was afraid that Gu Mingzhu would go to see polo when she heard that King Xian would go to see polo, and she would go off the field regardless of whether she was good at riding horses.
But she didn't expect that Gu Mingzhu, who was sitting next to her, didn't even raise her eyebrows, and still closed her eyes calmly, as if she hadn't heard.
Xiaokui didn't dare to say any more, she really didn't understand, what was wrong with her own lady, since the Yuan Ri Dynasty meeting, every time she talked about His Royal Highness King Xian, the lady would be full of joy, just hoping to let His Royal Highness King Xian look at herself more, and looking forward to being able to get the attention of the Queen of Heaven at the Qujiang banquet, after all, several princes have reached the grade of marriage, so they will have the opportunity to be selected as the princess of Xian. But now the lady's behavior is becoming more and more strange, and even she, a personal maid, can't see what is going on.
She didn't dare to ask more, and carefully stepped aside to wait, guessing in her heart.
Gu Mingzhu slowly opened his eyes and said, "Did you say that my father would come back from Xifu?" "The hussar general Gu Qing has been patrolling the border for half a year, and he has not even rushed back for the New Year's Festival.
Xiaokui was stunned, and shook her head for a while: "I haven't heard of it, let someone inquire later, and then go back to the lady." But she couldn't help biting her lip, the lady would take the initiative to ask the general about the return date, this is really incredible, everyone in the house knows that the lady has always blamed the general for favoring the West Mansion, and is afraid of the general's control, and never wants to see him more.
Gu Mingzhu heard her say this, but she frowned and sighed softly, if her father could rush back, maybe she wouldn't have to worry about the Qujiang banquet, at least if she was willing to ask her father to enter the palace, she wouldn't have to worry about marriage, and now it seems that she can only rely on herself.
Her face was a little solemn, and she stopped talking, as if she was full of worries, and sat in the carriage in silence, heading towards Xihe Zhuangzi
