Chapter 57: Hibiscus
It's just that Gu Mingzhu's gaze quickly retracted, she lowered her head again, and the black and thick bangs covered most of the palm-sized little face, and she couldn't see her expression anymore, and Fang Cai's undisguised disgust flashed, as if she had never appeared, she was still the ordinary Gu lady.
Li Yu smiled, and also retracted his gaze, he became more and more interested in this Gu lady, and he no longer believed that she was as rumored outside, she was a stupid and willful character, according to these few things, not only is she not stupid, but she will also be obscure, and know how to avoid the prince, it is really not simple.
It's just that her attitude towards herself has always made Li Yu very strange, they have only met a few times, why did she suddenly change from her enthusiasm to so cold, and even disgusted?
On the Dharma platform, Zen Master Zhan Zhen finished the last verse, folded his hands and recited the words of Amitayus Buddha, and then got up and came down to the Dharma platform.
It was only when he walked to the table to salute the saint and the queen of heaven, but he was looking at Princess Anping who was looking at him with wide eyes at the banquet, with a curious light in her eyes, looking at him without blinking.
The sage was talking to Li Nian, the king of Chen Liu, when he saw Zhan Zhen coming to salute, he nodded with a smile and said: "Your scriptures are good, and Anping can sit still listening to them, and he is not going to see Hibiscus as he did in the past." ”
The words were full of undisguised pampering, and even Li Nian, the king of Chen Liu, couldn't help but glance sideways at Princess Anping a few more times, it seems that the rumors are not wrong, and the sage is indeed very fond of Princess Anping.
Princess Anping's face was flushed, and she hurriedly lowered her head, but she couldn't help but quietly raise her eyes to look at Zen Master Zhanqing who was smiling slightly.
The queen of heaven turned her face back at this time, looked at the saint and Princess Anping's father and daughter, her face softened slightly, and she smiled: "It's rare that she has such a heart and has been listening to the scriptures with us for so long." ”
Princess Anping watched Zhan Qing go away, and then looked at the old Zen master who was on the high platform, and she was not interested in listening to it anymore, so she simply smiled and pulled the sleeve of the queen of heaven: "Ah Niang, my father just said that hibiscus flower, I haven't seen it for another year, why don't you go and see it now." ”
The saint laughed and nodded at her: "I just praised you, I can't sit still now, go ahead." ”
The queen's eyebrows and eyes also softened, and she nodded with a smile: "Your father asked you to go, you can go, there is only one thing, let them serve with them, but don't be greedy and fall into the water again!" ”
Seeing that the queen of heaven was stunned, Princess Anping didn't dare to mess around anymore, nodded obediently, and went with Luan and the palace maids happily.
Chen Liuwang looked at Princess Anping who was walking away, she was already thirteen or fourteen years old, but she still looked carefree, which showed that she was deeply favored by saints and queens on weekdays, and she had never been wronged.
He smiled slightly and turned his gaze back, raised his head and drank the wine in the wine cup with Cui Yi.
"Yun Niang, have you ever been to see that pool of hibiscus?" Gu Mingzhu looked at Princess Anping who was walking away, and suddenly said to Cen Yun.
Cen Yun smiled and nodded: "I went to see it when I came to listen to the lecture last year, but I was very thoughtful, it was raised by hot spring water, and this meeting should have been opened." ”
Gu Mingzhu smiled and said, "Why don't we take a look at it again, it's a rare scenery elsewhere." ”
Cen Yun pursed her lips and nodded with a smile, and said to Gu Mingli, who was following behind Gu Mingzhu: "The four ladies want to go and see together?" ”
Gu Mingli was stunned at this moment, not knowing what she was thinking, she woke up after listening to her question, and nodded hurriedly: "I'll accompany the eldest sister and the sixth lady." ”
His expression was indeed a little flustered, his cheeks were slightly red, he lowered his head and got up and followed Gu Mingzhu.
Old Madam Gu and Mao's listened to the lecture and listened attentively, Luo listened to Gu Mingzhu's words, but didn't say anything, nodded with a smile, and let them go.
She didn't have the heart to pay attention to Gu Mingzhu and Gu Mingli at this time, and put all her attention on King Xian, so naturally she didn't care where they went.
Gu Mingzhu looked at the thoughtful mother and daughter, smiled faintly, and took Gu Mingli and Cen Yun towards the apse.
The more she walked towards the apse, the faster her steps became, and Gu Mingli and Cen Yun had to take a few steps to keep up.
"Big sister, it's not even May, how can there be hibiscus?" Gu Mingli asked timidly.
Gu Mingzhu didn't answer, her face turned cold, she frowned and looked ahead, and her steps didn't stop for a moment, as if she was chasing something.
Cen Yun glanced at Gu Mingzhu with some doubts, and said to Gu Mingli with a smile: "I'm afraid the four ladies don't know, there are several good hot spring water under the Jade Buddha Temple, all of which are living springs, and the Zen masters use these springs to raise hibiscus, so the hibiscus flowers bloom in less than May, and they will not be defeated until October." ”
She said in detail: "It's just that the latest thing about this pool of hibiscus flowers is this one, after all, there are no buds elsewhere......"
Gu Mingli nodded in surprise, and followed behind Gu Mingzhu, also puzzled, the eldest sister was in such a hurry, could it be true that she was just looking at that pool of hibiscus flowers?
Turning around the back hall, the pool of steaming hibiscus was visible in the distance.
The hot spring water bubbles out, and the mist above the water surface is like a fairyland, and the hibiscus flowers are slim, pink and light white, and there are really amazing among them.
Gu Mingli walked over in amazement, she had never seen such a strange scene, and even Cen Yun, who had seen it many times, couldn't help but be attracted to it, and laughed softly: "Sure enough, it's all open." ”
Gu Mingzhu didn't look at the hibiscus flowers that were blooming just right in the pool, and her eyes quickly searched for the crowd watching by the pool.
There were already many ladies and gentlemen who had come to enjoy the flowers by the side of the hibiscus pool, and she couldn't see it through the faint mist, so she glanced everywhere, trying to distinguish it from the crowd.
Gu Mingzhu's brows furrowed even tighter, she had no time, she had to find that person as soon as possible, so that she could hope to stop the beginning of all the changes and prevent the Gu family and her from being drawn into the whirlpool.
