Chapter 524: Summer Night's Heart
The arrival of Mrs. Cui made the General's Mansion even more lively, and the people who came to watch the ceremony to congratulate each other were sincere or with the intention of inquiring, which made this small ceremony very lively, so that Chang'an City was talking about this marriage.
The General's Mansion was also very busy because of this, and Mao's body couldn't be tired for a long time after all, so Gu Mingyu took care of Zhang Luo for her, and was busy until it was dark and about to sound the twilight drum, she said goodbye to Gu Mingzhu and hurried back to the Xianwang Mansion with someone.
"Did anyone in the palace bring a message?" Gu Mingyu still has to take care of the affairs of the six palaces now, and it is rare to have a free time, so he went to the General's Mansion today, and ordered that if there is something in the palace, he will send it to the Xianwang Mansion.
Xiao Ju stepped forward to untie her waist and purse, and brought a green drink: "No one has come, but His Royal Highness ......"
She bit her lip and quietly looked at Gu Mingyu's face: "I got out of the court early today, and I went to the general's mansion to congratulate and came back." ”
Gu Mingyu listened to this, but he didn't raise his eyebrows: "Can the Lixiang Courtyard be cleaned up?" ”
After Gu Mingyue was sent to Liuqu's Zhuangzi, Gu Mingyu instructed someone to clean up the side courtyard of the palace, and the furniture and objects were built according to the regulations of the side concubine, although she didn't say it explicitly, but the whole palace guessed it, and she was afraid that Gu Mingyu was going to take the concubine for Li Mina.
It's not that Xiao Ju and the people around her haven't been persuaded, but Gu Mingyu seems to have made up her mind and refuses to give up.
And in the past few days, Li Mi has gone to the court, and he has also come to the inner courtyard every day, staying in the main courtyard to eat, and discussing the affairs of the palace with Gu Mingyu, everyone can see that he is guilty in his heart, for the previous Gu Mingyue matter, but he has always been upright, and he will not be careless to please people, so he used this most clumsy way to express his apologies.
It's just that Gu Mingyu didn't have the enthusiasm he used to have, he came lightly, and he didn't come and never asked, Xiao Ju and the others looked at it coldly, as if they were cold-hearted, and they felt even more anxious.
This time, it was like that again.
Xiao Ju sighed secretly in her heart, and had to say: "I'm ready, but I haven't picked a good person yet......
Gu Mingyu couldn't help but discuss: "Tomorrow I have picked it up and sent it over, and then I will invite the iceman." ”
Seeing that she was very firm, Xiaoju didn't dare to persuade her anymore and agreed to go down.
In the evening, Li Mi returned to the main courtyard.
Gu Mingyu ordered someone to prepare the meal, and sat silently on the side, not taking the initiative to talk to Li Mi.
Li Mi used a bowl of milky white dragon mat with fresh soup, and a few pieces of wind eggplant, exhaled comfortably, and said to Gu Mingyu with a smile: "Today's little Dingli is really lively, and even the queen mother has sent someone to help take care of it." ”
Gu Mingyu lowered his eyes and whispered, "There are a lot of people here." ”
Li Mi looked at her: "The second lady is inconvenient, but it makes you tired." ”
There was concern in the tone.
It's just that Gu Mingyu was still unmoved: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern." ”
She put down the bait in her hand and slowly sat up straight: "Big sister's marriage is tight, and it won't be long before I add a box, I think about ......"
Li Mi heard that she was willing to take the initiative to discuss things with her, and her face suddenly relaxed, and she hurriedly said: "You can arrange it, and tomorrow let someone open the warehouse and pick a few satisfactory things to send over." ”
Gu Mingyu was cold and indifferent: "Thank you, Your Highness, it's still not necessary, I still have a lot of suitable ones here, I'll send someone to pick them and send them over." ”
Li Mi didn't know what to say for a while, and then frowned after a while: "You just decide." ”
Gu Mingyu nodded, was silent for a while, and then spoke: "Send someone to invite the iceman tomorrow, I don't know what His Highness has ......"
Before she finished speaking, Li Mi had already frowned and stood up, her face was gloomy and ugly, and she stared at her for a while before she spoke: "No need, there is something in the front yard, I'll deal with it first." ”
Never to say a word to her again, and went out sullenly.
Xiao Ju and the others were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak, they stood aside with their necks bent, watching him go out, and then persuaded with a bitter face: "...... What is the trouble of the princess, Your Royal Highness is afraid that she doesn't mean that. ”
Gu Mingyu ordered someone to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and his face was expressionless: "Your Highness can't be distracted, I can't help but think about it, and it is also my duty to accept the side concubine to open up branches and leaves for His Highness." ”
This is very high-sounding, but only she knows how much anger there is in it.
The moonlight in early summer was incomprehensible, and a crescent moon half hung on the willow tops, which illuminated Gu Mingyu's sadness and Gu Mingzhu's "surprise".
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that it was frightened.
Gu Mingzhu, who returned to the county lord's mansion, had just finished bathing, washed away the fatigue of his body, and didn't bother to curl up his long hair that had just been dried, so he simply asked Xiaokui to make a bundle of ribbons for himself and hang it behind him, wearing a homely garment pomegranate skirt, walked in the garden for a while, and finally sat down on the swing by the lotus pond.
The evening breeze was slow, the crescent moon was looming on the willow branches, Gu Mingzhu listened to Xiao Kui talking about the small ceremony with a smile, and when the second lady of the Hanyang County Royal Mansion heard that Mrs. Cui came to make a decision in person, her face became very unpleasant, and she found an excuse to leave early, she couldn't help but smile.
“…… It's up to them to think about it, people in this world are complicated, and naturally there will be various theories, and it is difficult to stop them one by one. Gu Mingzhu looked at Xiao Kui, who was a little indignant, and shook his head with a smile.
At this time, she no longer cares what others say, her life is lived by herself, not for others, and what does the good or bad in other people's mouths have to do with her, it is just a breeze that blows through her ears.
Abi also said on the side: "The county lord said very well, the important thing is to live a good life, it doesn't matter how others are, why bother to worry about them." ”
Gu Mingzhu smiled heartily, and her silver bell-like voice broke the silence of the summer night: "Okay, okay, don't spoil our interest in enjoying the cool for these things......"
Before the words fell, he heard someone behind him: "Why do you want to spoil your interest?" ”
The voice was low and magnetic, but it was difficult to hide the smile in his tone, it turned out to be a man's voice.
Gu Mingzhu turned around in surprise, but saw Cui Lin striding over in a plain white long-sleeved robe with a weeping willow, looking at her with a smile on his face and shining eyes.
She was really startled, she couldn't tell whether she was surprised or happy, and hurriedly got off the swing: "You, why are you here?" ”
They are now betrothed to be married, and according to the rules they cannot see each other, but he came like this, and for some reason the maidservant did not pass through.
Cui Lin couldn't help but smile when he saw her helpless appearance, but he pointed to the courtyard wall behind him narrowly: "From here, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you." ”
He actually climbed over the wall to get in?! Gu Mingzhu looked at Cui Lin dumbfounded, is this still the outstanding Lang Cui Wulang?
