Qingchuan History

Chapter 17 Timing
Di Yan is still not fair: "But she is not black at all, and she has no scars on her face. They are all forged. Let us," he paused, "deceive the emperor so much, isn't this called deceiving the emperor?"

Gu Xinglang glanced at him, thinking when did I get fooled around, if she hadn't gotten involved with Wan Ling, who would investigate such an insignificant truth?

It's just looks.

He was born and raised in the Daqi royal family, and has seen thousands of beauties, and now the most beautiful people on this continent are basically in Qi Palace.He was also good-looking himself, it was said that he was very good-looking, and he had been hearing this kind of talk since he was born.So appearance is one of the things he cares most about.

Thinking of Wan Ling, my heart sank, a little sour and a little relieved.He waved his hand and decided to end the question:
"If she uses some thaumaturgy to change her appearance, she is indeed deceiving the emperor. It's just a matter of skin color, and scars are also common. If she says it's a personal preference, she likes dark skin and scars. She deliberately made it like this, you still Can it stop her from developing her own style? What kind of bullying is this?" Saying this, he turned to Yunxi:
"Since you get along well with Mrs. Pei, you will continue to take care of her. I will call you in the future if there is anything to do, so you don't have to come and answer. Of course, if there is anything unusual, you should report it immediately."

This decree was very much in line with Yunxi's heart, she readily bowed down and accepted the order, and immediately remembered something:
"Since the first year of Jinghong, slaves and maidservants have been here every year on the Tianlong Festival. This year, I can't serve you by your side, so I wish you a healthy body and a long life in advance."

Gu Xinglang smiled lightly, "Stay flat. You have always been careful and capable. When you were considering who to send to Zhexue Palace, you were the best choice. Now it seems that it is very good."

"Just do your part," Di Yan added, "Never forget that you are the imperial confidant. Besides," he glanced at Gu Xinglang,

"In accordance with the rules of the Tianchang Festival, the masters of all the halls must present gifts at the banquet. Madam Pei lives alone, and it seems that her thoughts are elsewhere. Don't forget to remind her to prepare the gifts."

Tianchang Festival is the birthday of the monarch.Qingchuan four countries are called this.

Gu Xinglang's birthday is on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, so even though it is still in June, the various ministries in the court and the inner court are already busy and lively.

In the past few years, the harem has been vacant, and there is no movement at this time of year.This year, there are no empty seats for the fourth lady, so the weather is naturally very different.

The bustling centers are the Hall of Cooking Rain and the Hall of Cailu.

Mrs. Jin is good at musical instruments, and Mrs. Zhen is good at dancing.Since June, the sound of silk and bamboo wind music can be heard from the northeast and northwest of Wanlan Hall, one after another, endlessly.

It is said that there is no musical instrument in the world that Shangguan concubine can't master.It is said that she is the best at playing the piano, and she is also at the national level in playing the pipa. In addition, flute, Xiao, Sheng, Se, etc. are all at her fingertips.It has been more than half a month, and the sound of musical instruments coming out of the Boiling Rain Hall is different every day. Everyone speculates that Mrs. Jin is rehearsing and screening.

But in Cailu Hall, from beginning to end, every day and night, the same piece of music is played.The folk customs of Bai are simple and honest, and the whole country, from women to men, can sing and dance well.And the fifth princess, Duan Xirun, is a leader among young girls of this generation, and it is said that she can dance to the city.Of course it is Mrs. Zhen, the owner of Cailu Hall.

But Phi Shuang Hall was as quiet as ever.This made Ruan Xueyin a little uneasy.

As Gu Xinglang expected, Ruan Xueyin went out less often after the Zhexue Palace was flooded.Even if we went to Yuehuatai, we set off in the dead of night, and chose a path that was more remote than the previous Liuyue Snow Corridor.

Standing on the Yuehua Terrace, you can look at the various halls centered on the Imperial Garden. The Hall of Boiled Rain sometimes still has noises at very late nights. The Hall of Cailu is relatively quiet, but there are also faint voices of people. I think Duan Xirun is still rehearsing at night. dance.

Only the Phishuang Palace was still the same as it was three months ago, the gates were closed, and it was so quiet that it made people feel melancholy.

Ruan Xueyin doesn't care about other people's affairs, especially the so-called love affairs that she doesn't understand and have no experience with.But the two of them are different. She has spent so much effort on this, and even exposed her face that has been painted for three months.

Gu Xinglang must thank her and owe this favor.Then Ji Wanling couldn't help but prepare the gift for Tianchang Festival.The relationship between the two of them must improve.

Although she also knows that her wishful thinking of "must" logic is ridiculous.It's not so much logic as desire.And once a certain desire or idea of ​​a person is too strong, it will often be internalized into a very reasonable logic.

So on the night of June nineteenth, she finally couldn't help asking:

"Madam Zhen and Madam Jin each have their own strengths, so what is Madam Yu good at?"

More than ten days passed, seeing that Ruan Xueyin did not make any movement, Yunxi was also anxious, thinking how to remind her tonight.She cared about others first.

"The slaves are not sure either. Last year's Tianlong Festival, there was only Mrs. Yu in the harem. On the night of the banquet, she gave you a painting, but—"

She hesitated to speak, but finally lowered her voice: "Your Majesty opened it, but his face didn't look very good."

"What did you draw?"

"I don't know. The banquet is always served by washers, but he saw it."

Xu has something to do with the death of Prince Zhanfeng.

Being misunderstood, wronged, or even resented by her sweetheart, although Ruan Xueyin is inexperienced, it must be extremely uncomfortable.Still on my birthday.Even if you are the king of a country and the overlord of Qingchuan, you still have indescribable pain.

But in a positive way, if last year's painting was Ji Wanling's own work, then it is very likely that she is good at painting, and she has been silent recently, and she may be creating behind closed doors.

Thinking like this, Ruan Xueyin was a little relieved, thinking that this year's painting would not make Gu Xinglang feel too uncomfortable again.

She looked up at the night sky like a dark blue curtain. In June, the weather has been fine and the stars are in their respective positions, shining like pearls on the sea.

I don't know how to find out about Jingtingge.

So it will be one and a half months, when Cangwu has news to come back, it will be in the middle and late July.The Tianlong Festival has passed.

She thought about it, in fact, she didn't need to wait for Jing Tingge's reply, she could talk to Gu Xinglang about the current situation.

Because an important change after Zhexue Palace was drained is that Yunxi no longer needs to return to Wanlan Palace on a regular basis.

This is of course because Ji Wanling's words are on point.It's not just about the fight to become the crown prince, but also about Yao Xingyu, and the fact that she entered Qi Palace to borrow something. She told Gu Xinglang everything about the conversation that morning.

Otherwise, Gu Xinglang would not stop Yunxi's regular reporting.Although whether he believed the borrowing thing at all, she wasn't sure.

So she admired Ji Wanling a lot.After all, she is Ji Huan's daughter. Even if she misunderstood and blamed Gu Xinglang for several years, now that things have turned around, she will not let go of the past, but when facing state affairs, she can put her personal love and hate in second place and stand by Gu Xinglang without hesitation. On the side of Xinglang, he reported all the knowledge he got from himself, which is the real understanding of the general situation and the overall situation.

A lady from a famous family should be like this.

It's just that for Ruan Xueyin, it would be more beneficial for negotiations if he could determine how far the relationship between the two had improved.After all, hard work cannot be wasted.

She decided to wait.
