Changge was already smart, and when he heard this, he didn't understand anything, so he said: "This Dugu can afford me, three times and five times, is it really easy for me to be a soft persimmon!" ”

"Baolin will be angry for the time being" Chen and Qin hurriedly said: "The concubine is jealous by nature, and her methods are ruthless, if you still don't make a decision, I'm afraid it will be ......."

Changge's voice suddenly cooled down, although she was wrapped in the winter sun, her voice was as cold as the sharp ice of the nine-hundred-th cold: "Decision? What can I decide, what more can I decide! If I can't gain a firm foothold in this harem, whether it is me, you, or the Gu family, I will have to fall into the cliff and be crushed! ”

Chen Youqin was a little pleased and said: "It's good that Niangniang understands, it's the big riding day in three days, Niangniang ......."

"I understand" Changge picked up the riding and archery suit and looked at it carefully: "This dress is good-looking, but I don't wear such gaudy clothes." "Ever since that dream, Changge has always had an inexplicable resistance to the red clothes.

"Pauling, don't wear this!" Chen Youqin said in a somewhat hurried tone

"Why? Although this dress is a little more flamboyant, it is also beautiful and tight. Banxia, who was on the side, asked puzzled.

Chen Youqin got closer, looked at the clothes a few times and said: "Although this dress is newly made, but this dress is dense, the color is dark, and this dress is ......" Chen Youqin groaned slightly: "The slave remembered, Princess Yunning wore such a riding uniform back then and won the championship on the day of the big riding day!" ”

Changge narrowed his eyes, the emperor has a lot of taboos about this Lin family, and now Zhou Jieyu, who is worse than dead, is the best example! If he really wore this dress, even if he attracted the emperor's attention, who knows if it would be self-defeating?

couldn't help sneering: "This Dugu is really well-intentioned, if no one knows this, wouldn't he have fallen into a trap in vain!" With Qin, according to the rules of the palace, is it okay if I don't wear this dress? ”

"When the time comes, Bao Lin only needs to say that his clothes have accidentally got wet, after all, this is not a gift from the emperor." Chen and Qin said with a respectful expression.

"It's just ......" Changge was a little hesitant in his tone: "But if you rush to make another one, I don't know if it's too late?" ”

Yi Dong looked at him and said with a long song: "Miss forgot, when the master came, he also prepared a set of riding and archery clothes for the young lady." ”

Changge was thinking of Gu Qingsong, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but groan in his heart, could it be that this Gu Qingsong knew that there would be today? For a while, Changge became more and more unfamiliar with Gu Qingsong, who was full of kindness, and his face was not obvious, and he said to Yidong: "That's good, or my father is thoughtful, Yidong, you take it out later, and I will wear it in three days." ”

With a winter temperament, he was introverted and calm, and after listening to Changge's instructions, he walked out according to his words and got ready. After tossing and turning, Changge was also a little tired, so he dispersed and picked up the book to read.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the entire imperial city is silent in the cold, as if some unknown conspiracy is brewing. After writing for a while, Changge only felt that his shoulders and neck were sore, so he had to put down his pen and look at the scenery outside the window.

Because of the strong wind, there were not many people outside, and I saw that the little palace maid named Xiwen was sweeping the leaves with her head down. Changge didn't let her come to the inner hall to serve because of Dugu, only let her do some chores, today seeing her alone, Changge felt a trace of pity in his heart, maybe he remembered the scene when he was in the Gu family, although the Gu family and his wife were very good to themselves, but they always returned to the fence, no matter what they did, they had to be cautious, remembering the past, Changge didn't want to look at it anymore, took out his Xiao, and enjoyed it carefully.

Winter nights always come so quickly, before eating, the sky is dark, Changge sits alone at the small table and eats, because she is quiet by nature, the entire Xiyu Hall is silent.

Changge took the delicate crystal dumplings, and his heart was filled with a white greasy, although he had made up his mind, but the road ahead was hopeless, so Changge couldn't help but be annoyed.

The red face was not old and the grace was broken first, and he sat in the smoke cage until Ming. Bai Juyi's "Harem Words" tells how many harem women are fateful, and Israel serves the king, which is the choice of most women in the palace, and it is also the most helpless choice. After all, what woman would dare to serve the emperor with affection? If there is, it is yourself who will be sad in the end.

Changge smiled self-deprecatingly, maybe Chen Youqin was right, everyone in the palace couldn't help themselves, including the emperor, and suddenly, Changge became interested in this emperor he had never met.

Three days later, only on the fourth watch, Changge was called up from bed by Banxia and began to prepare for today's riding and shooting. Seeing that Changge was a little lazy, Yi Dong couldn't help but smile and said: "Other ladies are all working hard to prepare for the first time to meet the emperor, but our young lady doesn't care." ”

Changge looked at himself in the mirror, and only then did he remember that this was the first time he had seen the emperor, so he said: "You can see you early and late, just dress up as usual." ”

When Banxia heard this, he took out the clothes he had prepared and put them on for Changge, and after the dressing was completed, Changge carefully appreciated the set of clothes that Gu Qingsong had prepared for himself.

I saw Changge erecting his long hair high, a white jade plum hairpin, a lambskin boot under his feet, and wearing this set of silver-faced jade and red plum riding clothes, the whole person was elegant and heroic. Although it is not as flamboyant as the one sent by Jiang Ruhai, this one shows Changge's cold temperament.

The imperial city under the winter sun was majestic and warm, Changge walked out of the Lanlin Palace wearing an autumn-scented feather veil and a white fox and crane, and before he could speak, Chen Youqin had already prepared a sedan chair and hugged Changge and sat up.

She tilted her head to look at this beautiful and strange imperial city, Changge's temperament has always been forbearant and decisive, and since she made up her mind, she has never been so anxious as she is today. She secretly clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves, trying to calm herself.

Banxia, who was accompanying him, asked, "Miss, it's almost there." ”

Changge nodded lightly, Dongyue is the world on horseback, starting from the founding emperor Jingwen, he has attached great importance to the big riding day. During the Longqing period of the previous dynasty, Zhao Guifei won the favor of Emperor Chongning on the Great Riding Day, so she was favored for a lifetime. Changge doesn't want to be like Zhao Guifei, but only hopes that in the future, if Dugu deals with him again, he can have a few chips.

After thinking about it, I arrived at Hefeng Garden, which is the place where the nobles of Dongyue held a powerful horse shooting, and the whole garden is wide and magnificent. When I got off the sedan chair, I saw that there were already many palace concubines waiting here. I saw Lu Yuzhen wearing a big red gorilla felt cloak and a homely long jacket, which was particularly simple among the concubines who were dressed up.

"Sister" Changge stepped forward and said with a smile; "How to dress up today......"

Yuzhen was clear-minded, how could she not know what Changge was thinking, so she replied: "I don't know how to ride a horse or anything like that, besides, I feel a little dizzy when I get up this morning, so I don't have any energy." ”

Changge looked at her a few times, and saw that her face was pale and her eyes were a little gloomy, so he didn't ask any more questions, and the two walked to the garden holding hands with each other.

At three o'clock in the morning, all the concubines lined up according to their grades, and saluted the emperor and queen sitting on a high place, and today's emperor only wore the ordinary Nine Dragons in the sky dress, Changge looked at him from a distance, and couldn't see his appearance clearly, but felt as if he had seen it somewhere.

According to the ancestral system, after the imperial official reads the holy decree, he will shoot nine arrows into the sky, and this big riding day will really begin. Although the concubines lowered their heads, they also looked at the other concubines around them carefully, for fear that their outfits would be compared by others today.

Today, Dugu Mengyao is still dressed in red, but the color is a little darker than the one given to Changge, but it also looks golden and brilliant, bright and moving.

"The Emperor" Dugu Mengyao was born bright, and at this time she deliberately lowered her voice, which made her even more charming and moving, "Today is a big day in the palace, and it is also the day when the sisters see the emperor for the first time, so the emperor may as well pick out a few from this lot, so that the sisters can show their talents." As she spoke, a lady in charge of the palace presented some signs to the emperor.

The queen, who was sitting silently, smiled slightly: "My sister really thought of being in the same place with my sister, Your Majesty, the concubine has already asked people to prepare jade signs, you just need to choose from them." ”

Hearing this, all the concubines couldn't help but gather their eyes to look at the jade sticks that decided their fate, and the emperor sitting in the middle seemed to have not heard, and only after a long time did he say: "Got it" The tone was very ethereal, and there was a bit of world-weary feeling in his heart.

Changge sat quietly on the side, not as anxious as the other concubines. She understands that this is just a game between the queen and Dugu, and who wins and who loses depends on how the emperor chooses.

It seemed that a long time had passed, until the cold wind blew off the last leaf, and a sharp voice came to Changge: "Where is Gu Changge?" ”

Changge's eyelids jumped suddenly, and his heart actually drummed, who was it? The queen is still Dugu, Changge stepped forward, bowed down and said: "Concubine Gu Changge sees the emperor and queen, may the emperor and queen live forever." ”

After the salute, Changge knelt quietly on the ground, looking particularly light and elegant among the warblers and swallows in the garden. Dugu Mengyao's eyes widened suddenly, and she turned her head to look at her palace maid Huichun.

I only heard the queen's gentle voice say: "Gu Baolin is really elegant and peerless today, I don't know if Baolin can do some riding and archery skills?" ”

A tiny plum blossom quietly fell on Changge's body, and between the little vermilion was like a flaming spark, Changge replied: "The concubine is not good at riding, and I hope the queen will not blame." ”

Changge lowered her head and waited for the queen's instructions, at this time, a sharp cold wind whistled through the air, and her beautiful long hair floated with the wind, lined with the hazy white mist, and it seemed that the whole person was unreal. After a long time, a slightly incredulous male voice sounded overhead.

"Who are you? Keep your head up. ”
