Chapter 63 I didn't expect that Gu Shizi was still an infatuation
Time was tight, so the Peony Banquet was held two days before the symposium.
Originally, the eldest princess planned to hold the peony feast after the symposium, when the peonies were in full bloom.
Now, in order to suppress the news about Zhu Jianchun, the Peony Feast has been moved forward, and the peonies prepared for the Peony Feast have not yet bloomed.
When nobles from aristocratic families want to do something, they don’t need to think too much about it. They throw thousands of dollars at it, and peonies from all over the country are sent to the imperial village on the outskirts of Beijing like a tide.
Gu Qiong was so excited about the peony feast that she didn't sleep well last night. The maid Sang Ya was applying pearl powder on her to cover the dark circles under her eyes.
Gu Yu came in from outside, took over the work from Sang Ya, picked up the powder and started to draw eyebrows for her sister.
The younger sister smiled and rolled her eyes: "Brother, Sang Ya has worked so hard to put on my makeup, so don't let me ruin it."
Gu Yu said: "No."
He started writing steadily, and after a few strokes, Gu Qiong looked at the mirror. Inside, there were two very similar yet completely different people.
The one sitting there has slightly curved phoenix eyes and long eyebrows like willows.
The one standing has upturned phoenix eyes, and has a cool and noble look when he is not smiling.
Gu Yu heard her sister laugh and say: "'Come to the window and laugh and support each other, the love is as deep as the thrush.' The future sister-in-law will be blessed."
She also smiled, opened her sister's dressing table, and tried on her hairpins one by one.
She likes to dress up her sister as if she were dressing up herself.
Finally, I chose Four Butterflies Flying in Silver Steps, paired with goose-yellow silk flowers, and wearing an apricot-yellow waist-length undershirt, which was fresh and pretty.
Gu Qiong teased her and said, "My brother changed the color of his clothes today, but is it to attract a beautiful lady?"
Gu Yu lowered her head and looked down. When she was getting dressed in the morning, she remembered that Junze had laughed at her for wearing green all day long, so she retaliated by wearing a dark red riding jacket embroidered with silver thread.
In fact, she regretted wearing it. Why should she be laughed at by that person even if she wore it?
After hesitating for a few times, she still didn't change it back, which seemed like she was troubled by this sentence.
He took Gu Qiong to the Imperial Mansion on the outskirts of Beijing, where he was led in by the attendants who were waiting for the distinguished guests.
Most of the Jiangnan students were unmarried and came in groups.
Although there is no distinction between the noble son and the student on the surface, the attendant is very discerning and leads the two people to different fields.
There are elegant and luxurious peonies everywhere in the palace, and many rare varieties are placed randomly on the roadside.
The real highlight is at the banquet. I heard that the "Crown Black Jade Peony" was cultivated this year. It is now covered with black cloth and will be unveiled later for everyone to enjoy.
An attendant was passing by with a pot of flowers on his head. He tripped and the pot of flowers was thrown straight at them.
Gu Yu kicked the potted flower out of the air, turned around and asked, "Qiong'er, are you okay?"
Gu Qiong shook his head.
The attendant tilted his body, wiped her clothes and fell down. Then he knelt down and apologized: "It was a small unintentional mistake, and I will atone for it."
Gu Yu glanced at him without blaming him too much and took his sister away.
Seeing this scene from a distance, Songyang felt sour in his heart and couldn't help but turn around and look at his cousin Junze.
Just then I heard him say: "Gu Yu looks at the girls chirping, but he is quite agile."
Songyang's head is full of black lines. He has to throw away things when comparing goods, and his brother has to throw away more than his elder brother.
If that potted flower had hit her, cousin Junze wouldn't have helped her kick it away. It would have been enough if he didn't hold his stomach and laugh at her stupidity.
Looking at Prince Gu again, he talks to her sister so gently, and her face is filled with a smile that melts away like spring water. My cousin has a good appearance, but he has an annoying mouth.
Thinking of what he had promised Gu Yu before, Songyang walked towards them.
When Gu Yu saw Song Yang, she subconsciously wanted to dodge, but stopped herself. Some words had to be said clearly. She had met many Neptunes in modern times, and they all had girlfriends or wives, and they were also disconnected from other girls.
She was not ashamed of this behavior and did not want Songyang's heart to be wrongly given to her.
Songyang came over in three steps and two steps, and when he got closer, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the similar appearance of the two of them.
Then he said to Gu Qiong, "This must be the sister of the Gu family."
Gu Yu introduced to her sister: "This is Princess Songyang."
Gu Qiong nodded. She had an impression of Songyang. She was quite shocked when she saw this wanton and flamboyant girl in the pavilion of Jindaihe.
Song Yang knelt down and saluted: "I'm here to apologize to Sister Gu. It was my fault. I shouldn't have gotten entangled with Dong Changmao even though I knew he was engaged. I hope Sister Gu will forgive me."
Gu Qiong was shocked. She had given up on Dong Changmao a long time ago. Instead, she had a good impression of Princess Songyang and felt that she lived a different kind of womanhood.
Gu Qiong hurriedly went to help her: "The princess' words are serious. It is thanks to the princess that I can see Dong Changmao's face clearly."
Songyang was a little surprised. What she did was not honorable, and she was already prepared to be ridiculed by Gu Qiong, the master of suffering. If it wasn't because she wanted to win Gu Yu's favor, she wouldn't have come to apologize. She said unexpectedly: "You really think so.
?”
Gu Qiong nodded.
Songyang's face brightened and he said: "That's good, you don't know, I whipped Dong Changmao so badly that day that he had no place to hide, and finally jumped into the river and became a drowned rat. It can be said that I vented my anger on your behalf.
."
Gu Qiong was infected by Songyang, and her eyes also became bent.
Songyang suddenly said coquettishly: "Can I say a few words to your brother?"
Gu Yu saw the gossipy light in her sister's eyes and sighed in her heart. This girl was probably trying to get her to find trouble with her sister-in-law again.
Gu Qiong said with a wink, "I'll go aside first. Brother, Princess, please talk slowly."
After saying that, he walked briskly and went to enjoy the flowers.
Gu Yu looked at Songyang in front of him and already guessed Songyang's purpose.
Sure enough, I heard Songyang say sourly: "I heard that Gu Shizi has a new concubine, and his life is very uncomfortable."
She deliberately cut off Song Yang's thoughts, and what she said was very cruel: "Lan Yan is a very good girl. I like her very much. I plan to make her my concubine when she gets pregnant."
Songyang had been sad for a long time because of Gu Yu's concubine, and even held the idea that she might have been favored by Lan Yan. Now that she heard her tell her how much she liked Lan Yan, she felt even more aggrieved and had no way to complain.
He cursed in a low voice: "You men are all the same. It's not enough to have a wife. You also bring in girls one after another, hugging each other. It's so cool. Who knows how hard it is to work with others as a husband? It's not fair, it's too
It’s not fair.”
As Songyang spoke, tears fell.
Gu Yu was at a loss for a moment. He didn't expect that in this era, there would be people who could say such advanced words. Songyang was simply the light of women's equality.
She didn't want to dampen Songyang's enthusiasm for equal rights, so she had to say: "To be honest, I am deeply in love with Miss Lan Yan. If possible, I would like to never marry and just stay with this person until we grow old together."
"Oh my god, I didn't expect Prince Gu to be such an infatuated person."
Seeing the broom star coming from behind Song Yang, waving his fan, Gu Yu's eyelids twitched, it seemed like he was going to be unlucky again today.
Junze slowly walked over from behind and continued: "I thought Prince Gu was wearing this red dress to attract bees and butterflies, but I didn't expect that Prince Gu was already deeply in love with his beautiful concubine. Songyang, you and me
Prince Gu, you can have fun, but don’t bother."
As expected, the broom star had nothing good to say when he opened his mouth, and Gu Yu's heart ran like 10,000 horses.
What does it mean to attract bees and butterflies? What does it mean to play for fun?
The little deer in Songyang's heart had just hit Gu Yu and was ridiculed by his poisonous cousin, and his face turned red with shame.
She specially wore light cyan clothes because she thought Gu Yu liked this color. When she arrived, she found out that Gu Yu had changed into silver red. She thought that Gu Yu had lied to her before and said he wouldn't come today, wasn't it just to avoid her?
Putting so much effort into catering to Gu Yu only seemed like she was being sentimental.
Just like my cousin said, it's not a waste of time.
Songyang pretended not to care and said, "Okay, if I have a chance in the future, I'll come and play with Prince Gu."
Gu Yu almost choked to death on his own saliva. Even in modern times, these words are shocking.
"As expected of my cousin, she can handle it, put it down, and play it well. Gu Shizi is more beautiful than Pan An, Songyang, you won't lose anything if you play with her." Junze continued to hit.
Gu Yu was anxious, she didn't want to play with Songyang at all, and said: "Your Majesty, you can have your own way, don't teach Princess Songyang a bad way."
Junze approached her while waving his folding fan and said, "My king's cousin, I can teach her how I want, without bothering the prince."
It was almost time for the peony feast to begin, and the attendants were guiding the men and women to separate. Before she could give any instructions, she saw her sister leaving with the attendants.
Songyang wanted to leave when he saw this. For some reason, Gu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
This kind of premonition is not the kind brought by a broom star, but a moment of suffocation and fear.
It seems like a disaster will happen.
She quickly said to Songyang: "My sister hasn't been out much. I hope the princess will take more care of her at the ladies' table."
