Qingchuan History

Chapter 220

"It's too late for Chunfeng." Just like the oriole returning to the forest, she slowed down after entering the waterside pavilion, and gave a blessing in the middle, "Ninth brother, forgive me."

The etiquette of "Ninth Brother" for family banquets is not beyond the rules.

Gu Xinglang smiled warmly: "If you know it's a family banquet, you don't need to be formal. Let's go to the table."

At first glance, Gu Chunfeng's speech and behavior are not much different from the past.Although the liveliness has gradually changed from the intensity of the sun to the lightness of the moonlight, the foundation is still there; the only significant change is that her attention seems to have become more focused, and she is no longer as keen on looking left and right and talking around as before——

Gu Xinglang spoke, and she obediently accepted the seat.A Yi is serving by her side——

Except Jingting Song, everyone felt uncomfortable.

Too many years.Even if Ruan Xueyin and Shangguan Concubine Fang had been in the palace for half a year, even if they had been in the palace for half a year, they were very used to having another person standing beside Chunfeng on such occasions.

It seems that only such a face should and can appear in that position in the current picture.

The power of time, probably so.

So much so that the mood was as complicated as Shangguan's concubine, and she couldn't help but look at that position a few more times.

And she and Gu Chunfeng both sat in the third seat, facing each other impartially at a distance of not too far or too close.

"What is Mrs. Jin always looking at me?" Gu Chunfeng touched his ears and temples in a serious manner, and then lowered his head to look at the front skirt, "But what's wrong with me?" Seemingly checking nothing, she looked at Shangguan The concubine smiled again: "Or the maid I brought today, you rarely saw before, aren't you used to it?"

She used to be called "Sister-in-law Jin".Be it private or formal.

No one in the arena expected that Gu Chunfeng would enter the arena and made an attack.

Ruan Xueyin frowned imperceptibly.

But one person might have expected it.Perhaps he had been waiting for this moment from beginning to end.

She turned her corner of the eye to look.

Gu Xinglang lowered his head and was drinking tea.As soon as Gu Chunfeng spoke, he brought the teacup, and no one noticed except Diyan.

Because he was drinking tea, he couldn't stop him immediately.

So Gu Chunfeng didn't stop.

"That's all right. My maidservant for many years has left the palace and never returned. I haven't married yet, but she left the palace before me. Speaking of this matter, I would like to thank Mrs. Xie Jin."

"Above the banquet, there are envoys from Mrs. Jin's home country. What are you talking nonsense?" After Gu Chunfeng finished his last words, Gu Xinglang finally finished half a cup of tea in his hand. He was displeased and put down the white jade cup to scold .

Chunfeng raised his eyebrows and looked over, seeing that the other person's face was slightly gloomy, he hesitated to speak again, and finally said in a muffled voice: "Sister Chen made a slip of the tongue, Brother Nine, forgive me."

Gu Xinglang continued to look at her for a moment longer, as if warning, then turned to the second seat on the east side and said in harmony: "My sister has been spoiled since she was a child. Mrs. Jin is joking, Mr. Jing is not to be blamed." Then she turned her eyes to the official concubine:
"Auntie knows her temperament, so she has already seen it."

For some reason, the first half of the comment was clearly talking about Gu Chunfeng, but Jing Tingge somehow felt that he was scolding herself.

And Shangguan concubine was dazed by this long-lost "Auntie", and she was dazed for a moment before respectfully answering "yes".

Today's seats are arranged strictly in accordance with guest relations.As Mrs. Pei's junior sister, Jing Tingge is also the envoy of Mrs. Jin's mother country, so it is only natural that she should sit between them.Just now Gu Xinglang helped Chunfeng explain to Jing Tingge, obviously out of diplomatic etiquette.

This is called a master.Jing Tingge thought to himself.It seems that everyone here today knows about Ah Ji, but there are differences in depth.So Gu Xinglang knew that the whole audience was dark, but still acted out his tricks with his own strength.

This has been the case since ancient times.

"What's your majesty Qi Jun talking about?" So he smiled and his tone was light, "Madam Jin and His Highness Chunfeng have always been friends, I heard about it when I entered the palace. These small fights between women, Ting Ge and Madam Pei are very close." It has been like this for several years, and I understand it the most.”

Ruan Xueyin naturally knew that Gu Xinglang was not playing tricks for nothing.He just reprimanded and even warned Chunfeng was just playing hard to catch.Using white to lead black to make the situation "deteriorate" step by step is his strategy today.

He is using Chunfeng's temperament.and other people's mentality.

Even though she had been prepared, she was still not feeling well and planned to have a couple of mouthfuls of soup.At this time, Jing Ting Ge forcibly dragged himself off.Not only that, but the other party also looked over.

Everyone looked over.

"You are much more difficult to deal with than His Highness Chunfeng." She had no choice but to pretend not to hear, and spit out such a sentence after a while, half truth and half false, serious and intimate at the same time.

There was a chuckle in the room.Jing Tingge also laughed: "Look, isn't there a quarrel again? Isn't this more difficult than the words of His Highness Chunfeng just now?"

"She has always been very eloquent, and her eloquence is even better. These days, I have seen it. It seems that only Mr. Jing can control her."

"How can I control her?" This session really has the meaning of a family banquet, and Jingting sings and smiles, as if entering into a drama: "I haven't seen Xiaoxue for many years, and now I find that her temperament and behavior are the same as in the past It's different, think about it, His Majesty Qi Jun is more powerful, he just melted the old ice."

What is this doing? !

Ruan Xueyin silently listened to the conversation between the two, endured one sentence, endured another sentence, and finally couldn't bear the last sentence, angered from it, the spoonful of hot soup that was finally brought to her mouth was not fed in the end——

Those who want to play chess play chess, those who should watch a play watch a play, what does she do to arrange back and forth?Still like this, with a gun and a stick, there is no silver here!

Gu Chunyue was also unable to listen to it.And with her many years of experience on the scene, she reacted much faster than Ruan Xueyin.

"Madam Pei just likes to be quiet, so she should move around less in the palace, but where does the so-called ice come from?" I don't know if it's the tone of voice or the way he speaks, but whenever Gu Chunyue speaks, the audience always looks sideways, "Mr. Jing This mouth is as powerful as the rumors say."

Nearly half of the people in today's banquet had already seen Jing Tingge; the one who hadn't seen and was most looking forward to was Gu Chunyue.Not long after entering the table, the topic did not come up, she was worried that there would not be a suitable opportunity to start the battle, she never wanted to tease the two casually, but asked this one to start the conversation.

"It's better to be famous than to meet, Your Highness the Eldest Princess." Jing Tingge smiled again, and nodded to Gu Chunyue across half of the water pavilion, "It is said that the Elder Princess Chunyue is smart and prudent, and her words and actions are seamless and tight. When it comes to the way of speaking, court You have to learn more from His Highness about singing."

"How does this hall know how to speak?" Gu Chunyue also showed her face and smiled back, "It's just that she was born in the royal family and is an elder among the brothers and sisters, so she is extra cautious in her speech and deeds. I really want to reason and debate, calculate and plan , this hall is absolutely inferior to Mrs. Pei, let alone you, sir."

"Before His Highness came out of the cabinet, His Majesty Qi Jun first ascended to the Great Treasure. I think you were in charge of all the affairs of the imperial court. Once you came out of the cabinet, you became the young wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion," Jing Tingge smiled unabated, and glanced at Chun when he said this. Ji Ping, who is sitting next to the moon,

"A prosperous and noble family like the Ji family must have a lot of things to take care of. Backyard affairs are no more worry-free than court affairs. Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess can be calm and easy at such a young age. Ting Ge admires it."

Everyone only knew that Jing Tingge had a sharp tongue, but they didn't know that she spoke directly regardless of the occasion.Gu Xinglang has already seen it, but Chunyue is new to it.Fortunately, Gu Chunyue's joy and anger were all joy, not anger, even if it was expressed in color. Therefore, although she was surprised by Jing Tingge's public discussion of these family affairs before and after she left the court, she did not show any annoyance.

"Things in the backyard are trivial. Although it is not uncommon for a small loss to affect the whole body, it is true that when it comes to the stakes and the depth of influence, it is not as important as the affairs of the court. Even if there are occasional details that affect the overall situation, how many An accident that only happens once a year." She paused, tilting her head slightly to Ji Ping,
"Besides, there is our mother-in-law and Mrs. Xiangguo who are in charge of the house. This hall is just watching and learning, and helping from the side. There is nothing to worry about. But Mr. Jing is one person under ten thousand, and even His Majesty Wei Jun often listens to Mr. It is truly admirable to be the master.”
