So, I heard them whispering to each other...
Someone looked at me fearfully and whispered, "Hey, look at her ears! "She really is a fox demon …"
Another person said disdainfully, "Tsk, what's the use of having a good appearance? "She's just a pervert. Your highness must have been bewitched by her beauty …"
Others were indignant: "Country girl, you dare to wear clothes like a princess, you really don't know the etiquette!"
Eh?
I was stunned again. I raised my head because the last sentence was so loud that it was impossible for me to pretend that I couldn't hear it. The people around me also heard it and looked over at me …
I discovered that Princess Yaohua had coincidentally brought her maid to pass by!
Hey, you must be sincerely trying to make life difficult for me, right?
The princess, who had obviously heard it, stopped, looked at her, then at me.
I was a little surprised, because Yaohua was wearing the same clothes as me today! Princess's clothes are so precious, how can they be like me? A thought struck me... Then, what I am wearing today, could it be that Qing Ling mentioned something about the Imperial Clouds Embroidered Heavenly Robe of Xi Shu?
A while ago, Qing Ling said that the palace had offered a few Cloud Gem Heaven Robe, which was very rare in the world. Each piece of cloth required ten embroidery ladies to spend three years to complete, so it was very precious. As the crown prince, he naturally had the right to choose in advance. At that time, he even asked me if I liked it and as I had never been particularly passionate about it, I said "It doesn't matter" … Afterwards, I didn't ask whether or not the material was delivered to the Eastern Palace. When Qing Ling made me clothes, I merely listened to him and measured my stature … Because he had been sick and had lost a lot of weight, his clothes had to be a yard smaller before he could be pulled to make new clothes … I really didn't know that the Cloud Embroidered Heavenly Cloak had Yao Hua, and she also wore the same material as me today. It's just that the color is different …
Her is apricot red, and mine is liquid silver.
Crash shirt! It's okay, right?
I said hello to Yaohua, who ignored me and turned away with a cold snort. When she returned, she had already changed into a new set of clothes.
Sigh, as expected, you still didn't forgive me.
Seeing that I was being treated coldly, a look of schadenfreude surfaced on the faces of the gold girls. At this moment, a melodious zither sound suddenly rang out from outside the pearl curtain. Everyone's attention was immediately diverted … It was the Crown Prince playing the zither! That's right, since tonight was the Mid-Autumn Festival's dinner, Qing Ling, as the noble crown prince, would naturally lead the show to show her filial piety to the Emperor and Queen?
Qing Ling's Jade Zither played very well. The true melody was harmonious, just like the rings of the nine heavens … If I were that Divine Phoenix, I would definitely fly to the top of his head and circle three times to the left and three times to the right …
When the song ended, the melody lingered in the air. Everyone was silent.
After a while, someone came back to reality and applauded and praised. The old man with white hair stroked his mustache and said, "His Highness Crown Prince's zither music is pure and rich, your state of mind is broad, ancient poems are cloudy … "A peaceful man is virtuous; it is the blessing of the nation and the people for His Highness the crown prince to be so pure and kind!"
After he had finished speaking, he turned his head and bowed to the emperor, "Congratulations to the Emperor. Congratulations to the Emperor. The crown prince is indeed a blessing to the entire Tianyu Dynasty!"
The emperor's eyes revealed a trace of gratification. He complimented the crown prince and then said, "The crown prince is honest and honest. As the successor to the throne, I know that you shouldn't be too merciful!"
A woman's benevolence … I'm black. How vengeful must this emperor be! Isn't it just borrowing your Chao Tian Jewel to heal? Why do you have to criticize Qing Ling in front of so many people?!
I was filled with indignation and let out an unhappy groan. Qing Ling withdrew with a dejected expression. After a while, the First Prince made an exception and began to play the flute.
He stood very far away from me at the edge of the lake in the imperial garden. He stood tall, and the sound of the flute lingered in the air, causing the ladies of the harem to weep; after a while, the flute began to rise, as if it were raising waves all over the sky.
I don't know what he was playing, but everyone said that the First Prince's filial piety was commendable, and the Emperor was very happy, giving away many things as usual.
Through the beaded curtain, I looked at each other … I haven't seen him for almost two months. I miss him so much in my heart! Besides, I wanted to ask him about his childhood, about that strange dream from that day, about Empress Pei's wings. Was this all a dream or a reality?
When the feast reached its climax, with the two princes taking the lead, the young ladies of the pavilion were soon ready to make a move. They all wanted to make a comeback during the feast; thus, some of them performed their zither arts, some performed their song and dance, and some of them even composed poems on the spot. In the end, it was still Miss Gu who was more formidable. With the empress's help, she had unexpectedly gotten the chance to play Yaoqin with the crown prince!
Of course, Gu Yunxi's zither arts couldn't compare to Qing Ling's. However, did she have a strong backer … With the opportunity to show off, she instantly suppressed all of the young mistresses!
After the song ended, it was clear that the empress dowager liked her very much. She praised, "What an intelligent and intelligent girl! "Miss Gu, This Dowager has an emerald jade bracelet with the tribute of the Western Regions. Come here, This Dowager will personally help you put it on."
Gu Yunxi slowly stepped out from behind the bead curtain. Her skirt swayed as she gracefully walked over to kneel before the empress dowager.
Esteemed Empress Dowager took off an emerald jade bracelet from her hand and placed it on Gu Yunxi's creamy wrist. Gu Yunxi thanked her before standing up to return, when the empress spoke to the empress. "Imperial Mother, this niece of mine rarely goes to the palace. I've come today with a presumptuous request …" "Can you give her a seat so that this official's wife can get closer to her …"
Her Majesty smiled amiably. "Why not? You decide. "
The Queen then called for someone to add a seat, which was placed beside Qing Ling. Gu Yunxi's face was red with embarrassment. She thanked him profusely before walking over and sitting down beside Qing Ling.
The atmosphere immediately changed, and everyone's gaze landed on Qing Ling and Gu Yunxi. At this time, an imperial concubine who had been accompanying the Emperor glanced at Miss Gu and then at Qing Ling. She suddenly clapped her hands and laughed, "Ha, what a beautiful couple!"
When she said this, everyone's gaze immediately became gossipy …
The empress dowager smiled as well. "Indeed, it's a match for a golden couple …"
He turned to the emperor and asked, "Your majesty, the crown prince hasn't appointed the crown prince's consort yet, has he?"
The emperor shook his head and looked at Gu Yunxi, deep in thought. Miss Gu's face was flushed red. She was so embarrassed that she almost buried her head in the desk a few times.
I was a little worried, because I saw Qingling frown slightly.
As expected, the empress dowager asked the empress, "Empress, may I ask you a question …" How old is Miss Gu this year? Do you have anyone you like? "
The empress quickly answered. The meaning behind her words was that her niece, Xian Liang Shude, was at the prime of her life and was still a virgin …
The empress dowager nodded in satisfaction and then asked Gu Yunxi, "Then shall I decide today to betroth you to the crown prince?"
When she said this, everyone was shocked! The position of the Crown Princess was very popular. How many people in the banquet were eyeing her like tigers eyeing their prey! Although everyone knew that Gu Yunxi had an illustrious family background and was the candidate to be the first Crown Prince's consort, when the empress dowager really did announce it, there were still many young girls who had their hearts broken.
In short, the scene was very exciting.
Miss Gu's face reddened. She shyly glanced at Qing Ling, and then said in a soft voice, "Everything … "But the empress dowager is in charge."
Qing Ling immediately stood up and knelt on the red carpet in front of the imperial throne. His grandson had just returned to the palace and had not been able to do anything to help royal father deal with the imperial government, so how could he have the time to talk about marriage? I hope that Royal Grandmother can take back this order! "
The empress dowager didn't expect the crown prince to reject the marriage because it had always been the decision of the imperial family's parents. Besides, the crown prince's consort had also raised the issue of marriage …
