A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 125 Rotten Peach Blossom

She was really puzzled to death, she was really at a loss.

Gao Yunmiao is not the kind of person who can hold his breath, so he didn't go around in circles immediately, and snorted coldly: "That girl is good at writing poems, she is known for her talent, and thanks to her family background, her eyes are on the top of her head." , I have never been able to discuss a suitable marriage. I also heard from my mother that his old man wanted to tell her to the third uncle. It was at the beginning of last year. She should have fallen in love with her, but the old man After asking Third Uncle to have a light meal at his house, there was nothing to say, and after that, the family never talked about it again, guess why?"

why?
Qi Wenyan sternly rejected it!

It's not that Gao Yunmiao is proud and Qi Huan is boasting, but on the condition of their third uncle and third uncle...

If the two of them didn't have blood relationship and seniority to stand in the way, they would wish they could do it by themselves!
People like Yu Feifei have already caught the tail of the ranks of older leftover girls in this era, but she is noble and has high vision. It is hard to find a partner, so she finally has someone to fall in love with...

It was also rejected by others!
But this kind of thing, there is still no place to talk about it, so I hold my breath, it's no wonder I don't find fault!
Qi Huan really didn't expect that he would be tripped by his third uncle's rotten peach blossoms today. Thinking about it this way, he became calm about Qi Wenyan personally escorting her into the palace.

Taking advantage of the fact that Gao Yunmiao was in a good mood and was still willing to talk to her, Qi Huan hurriedly asked again: "What about that? Yang Pan'er, she said she is the sister of Concubine Wen in the palace, do you know her well?"

Gao Yunmiao stared at her strangely: "You're still teasing me, right? I'm going to be familiar with them, so I still have to play with you now?"

Those one and two are all well-known talented women, but they look down on their "ignorance".

Gao Yunmiao is also very upset about this matter. If she has that talent, of course she also wants a good reputation, but after studying for several years, she still doesn't excel. What else can she do but give up?

She was annoyed, and when the eldest lady got angry, she ignored people again.

Qi Huan was so shameless that he held the whole audience, and it didn't matter if he got dumped by his cousin.

Gao Yunmiao and the others were playing pitch-pot with great interest, and she stood under the shade of a tree next to them and watched them play.

Qin Ying glanced over occasionally and saw that she was standing alone, with no one to speak, which seemed pitiful.

and--

She doesn't like Qi Huangui, she doesn't like it, everyone is a girl of the same age, and she treats others like herself...

Qi Huan is still disgusted by his second brother and doesn't want to fulfill the marriage contract. He shows up to other girls outside and slaps her in the face in such a humiliating way...

But after thinking about it again, it was the other party who almost threw her into the water last time, so she quickly put away her sympathy.

On the other hand, because of what Queen Gu said, Yu Feifei's unilateral provocation to make Qi Huan look ugly has changed in nature.

Including Yu Feifei, the client, no one cares about the level of Qi Huan's so-called paintings at the moment.

Everyone is trying their best to show their talents. Those who write poems write poems, those who paint paint paint, and those who transcribe famous works spare no effort, just wanting to stand out in front of the empress.

If you can get a compliment from the empress, it will be the biggest capital in future marriage negotiations.

Well, most of the twenty-odd girls that Empress Gu called today were never engaged in marriage, a few were discussing marriage, and one or two had engagements, and they were mainly for Qi Huan's favor. Companion, so that she doesn't look so obtrusive.

Before the banquet, Queen Gu had been sitting in the yard.

When the girls over there finished their works one after another, the female officer gathered these new ones together with the ones on the table before and showed them to her.

She didn't explicitly ask the girls to compete before, so she didn't ask anyone to go over to listen to the comments at the moment, and just turned over one by one with a smile as if she had nothing to do.

Then, when he saw one of the paintings, he paused, turned his head and asked the female officer in surprise, "Why is this girl back to the palace today?"

The female officer took a step closer and poked her head to look.

In the upper right corner of the painting, there are two large characters of "dragon, flying and phoenix dancing vigorously and powerfully"——

Full bow!

On the drawing paper, the surrounding scenery is simply outlined, but it can be seen at a glance that it is the martial arts arena set up in Yunteng Garden.

The protagonist in the painting is a girl with a heroic face and a beautiful and delicate appearance.

Qi Huan is a professional painter. Practice makes perfect in this area. Although she can't draw any masterpieces handed down from generation to generation, she can draw people and animals quite vividly, and her facial features and micro-expressions are all in place.

Although she had only met the girl she met at the gate of the garden before, the impression she had had was deeply impressive.

Just now hastily picked up the pen, the scene of the other party's heroic posture when he drew the bow and shot the arrow flashed through his mind.

I only hate that I only have a paintbrush in my hand, and I don’t have a video recording device. Obviously, the moving picture is more interesting.

But now, what is outlined on this drawing paper is the moment when the girl shoots an arrow with a full bow.

It's not a close-up of the face, but a big panorama, and the facial features are already very vivid.

Empress Gu and the people around her all recognized the person in the painting at a glance, but the two female officials were all stunned: "This...I didn't hear about it...you should go and find out now..."

Before he finished speaking, Mother Jiao just left and returned.

She first heard the conversation between Queen Gu's master and servant, and when she approached, she looked at the painting in Queen Gu's hand, and couldn't help but praise: "Who painted this? It really looks like it."

Empress Gu collected her mind and turned to look at her.

Mother Jiao laughed and said, "I just got the news from Your Majesty, and said that His Majesty coaxed her back. Today, for the Qionglin Banquet, I specially invited that Mr. Qi from Dali Temple who was particularly outstanding in the previous two sessions... ...Your Majesty can't help but say that it was well-intentioned, but our little grandma quit on the spot when she heard that it was for this matter, and His Majesty sent the Second Highness to stop them, but they didn't stop her."

She searched the garden and found Qi Huan who was standing in the corner, and continued: "Master Qi led the girl from the Changning Hou Mansion to our side and said that she met the princess, but in the end She also got angry and ridiculed her face to face, calling him an old man, and ran away after scolding him."

Empress Gu listened to her all the time, and there was nothing wrong with her expression, until she heard that Qi Wenyan was being scolded by her precious daughter for being unreasonable, she frowned displeased.

But this emotion was not obvious, and she immediately suppressed it: "Then what did His Majesty say later?"

"Sent someone to chase after him." Mother Jiao said, "But they didn't catch up. People in the military camp said that our little ancestor never went back at all, and chased the son out of the city to suppress the bandits."

Queen Gu lowered her head and smiled.

His fingers gently caressed half of the girl's intact and beautiful face in the painting, with endless gentle emotions overflowing from her eyes.

She didn't seem to care much about the process and outcome of this matter.

After a while, he slowly rolled up the roll of drawing paper and handed it to the female officer beside him: "Keep this roll, and put the others aside first, and return them back before they leave the palace."

It is not appropriate for the paintings of the girls to be left outside casually, and to be obtained by people with ulterior motives.

Therefore, one thing more is worse than one thing less, and it is better to ask them to take it back afterwards.

Just as the female officer made her promise and carefully held the scroll of paintings she handed over in her hand, Eunuch Li, the chief eunuch next to the emperor, rushed over: "This old slave pays respects to the empress."

"What's the matter?" Queen Gu raised her eyes slightly.

Eunuch Li’s expression was obviously flattering, his eyes narrowed with a smile on his chubby face: “Your Majesty Jiao must have passed the message to your empress about the matter of our princess, His Majesty heard that your side Gu Shizi didn't notice either, now the two principals have run away, but His Royal Highness only has one... His Majesty called the servants to come over to discuss with the empress, you see... this luncheon today, or we will be together Just, can we do it together? Anyway, your place is spacious, and there are more people, so it can be more lively."

The emperor found a group of young talents for his precious daughter, planning to choose a son-in-law on the spot, but they ran away before the banquet;
The Queen's Empress selected a group of ladies from all over the capital, and planned to find a younger sister-in-law for herself, but the result was the same, the banquet did not start, and the master had disappeared.

But she opened the mouth first, asking her son, His Highness the Crown Prince, to come and save the situation.

If the emperor keeps the princess, he naturally doesn't care where his son is. Now it can't be taken seriously that he is just an old man leading a group of young people to drink, right?The scene is really not so good.

His Majesty the Emperor arranged for the daughter-in-law to meet the son-in-law, but did not greet the empress beforehand. Eunuch Li knew that he was wrong, so he was careful with everything he said.

A face like a white flour steamed bun, with a bunch of steamed stuffed bun folds from a lively smile.

Empress Gu was not in any mood, but she couldn't help being happy seeing him like this, she pursed her lips and sighed: "Then come over and join us for a table, anyway, everyone is just worrying about not getting things done, no one is more important than anyone else." Have a face."

"Your Majesty is right." Eunuch Li quickly complimented her, and after getting her approval, he went back to report contentedly.

After he left, Empress Gu continued to signal the palace servants to take away those calligraphy treasures first, and she lost interest in continuing to look through the rest.

As for her daughter, who was supposed to be pampered and pampered in the palace, she followed Gu Zhan out of the city to suppress the bandits, she didn't show any anger, even worry.

The girls who watched her secretly nearby saw that she hadn't finished reading the calligraphy and paintings, so they ordered them to collect them. They were not sure whether their works had been seen by her. Some were disappointed, some were anxious, and some were still full of longing and hope.

Because His Majesty the Emperor temporarily decided to bring his newly promoted Tiantuan to have dinner, the empress could only order people to prepare it in advance.

The luncheon that was originally planned to be held in the side hall was moved to the water pavilion in the center of the lotus pond.

Qi Huan watched the palace people go back and forth non-stop, and was somewhat surprised by the battle.

Even though the life in the palace is extravagant, the queen's empress has a lot of ostentation, so use this standard to entertain a group of girls who have nothing serious to do...

Why do you suddenly feel a bit like a Hongmen Banquet?

She was suspicious here, speculating wildly, and then waited until lunch time, when she saw the emperor with the prince, and the prince arrogantly brought other princes, Qi Wenyan, Yang Qingyun and others to the banquet here, It suddenly dawned on me.

The well-known ladies who have been carefully selected in the [-]s are sitting at this table, waiting for His Royal Highness to come and review...

Isn't this an obvious blind date model?

His Majesty the Emperor called people like Yang Qingyun into the palace, maybe it was not just a cover to give His Royal Highness the prestige and courage?
This is the battle that only the prince's relatives and relatives can make!
Here she is lamenting the arrogance of the royal family, and the good intentions of the emperor and empress...

And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was walking towards everyone at that time, had a kind of sourness under his spring-like elegant appearance——

One person came forward to kiss the uncle and the younger sister, but in the end, it was Bengong who carried everything on his own!
Hey, everyone, come and see, the one who brought the whole male guest group on the blind date, I am really high-profile and have a good time!
Yun Zheng and Yun Heng acted as a foil. Although the expressions on their faces were controlled by movie kings, they were asked to accompany the prince to meet people, and this group of ladies were all carefully selected by Queen Gu. Most of them were from prominent families. There is such a person, it is impossible for the two of them to be free from pressure and thoughts.

Although the crown prince Yunzhan is only fifteen years old this year, he is the legitimate heir apparent and the only son of the empress. Naturally, all the best resources must be picked first by him. It seems understandable for the empress to make such an arrangement.

At the banquet, the two were talking and laughing at Yan Yan, drinking wine and wine with everyone, showing a harmonious scene of brothers and friends, but inside there were dark waves, each hated so much that their teeth itched.

Qi Huan ate among the crowd.

It may be because of being in the palace, Gao Yunmiao is more or less modest, knowing that Qi and Gao are relatives by marriage, he can't let outsiders see the joke, this time he didn't form a small group, but sat with Qi Huan logically.

But today, even with acquaintances by his side, Qi Huan always feels weird and uncomfortable.

The crown prince is going on a blind date, and if she is brought in for the head, the amount of water injected into the concubine selection team is really a bit high.

She is like...

At best, it's just a private item brought in because of Gu Zhan's relationship, right?
This identity, sitting here, is very out of place.

In order to reduce the sense of existence, she buried her head and concentrated on cooking.

The emperor's health is not very good, and he pays more attention to maintenance on a daily basis. He never drinks strong alcohol. He tasted two drinks today and was not satisfied. He turned around and asked Empress Gu next to him: "Where's your plum blossom wine? I still think that tastes the best. it is good."

Queen Gu smiled and said, "It's gone."

Your Majesty the Emperor, you can get what you want, you may have never tried being treated badly, but you actually got to the bottom of it because of this drink: "I came over once last winter and saw them move to the wine cellar. The banquet, why did you finish drinking?"

Empress Gu personally put vegetables on his plate, and said casually: "At the beginning of the month, Gu Zhan emptied all the good fruit wine and flower wine in my concubine's private cellar, and the rest were new wines that could not be stored for a long time. "

The emperor knew his only brother-in-law very well: "He has been in the military camp since he was a child, what kind of fruit wine does he drink..."

Queen Gu replied: "Maybe take it as a gift."

Her husband and wife just had a normal conversation, they didn't deliberately raise their voices to frighten anyone, and they didn't hide anyone in a low voice.

On an ordinary occasion, in such a large waterside pavilion, at a banquet with a hundred or so people, and the two people at the head seat had a normal conversation, it would be difficult for Qi Huan to be able to hear him from this seat.

However, on such an occasion today, everyone was cautious. In front of the emperor and empress, even the princes deliberately kept their voices low when talking in private. As for the others, they tried not to speak as much as they could.

Qi Huan's thinking has always been used to draw inferences from one instance.

The wine jars that she moved back from Gao's house were kept in her yard like treasures, and one day when the mood came, she would secretly eat one before going to bed, not to mention how happy she was.

After hearing Queen Gu's words, she immediately thought about it, and suddenly realized that there was a problem with the source of those drinks.

One was so shocked that he choked on the food in his mouth.

There was a large audience, but she didn't dare to cough, so she raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and nose, turned her head to one side, and stroked her chest vigorously.

After getting over this feeling of choking to death, his face was already flushed with discomfort.

From the side, Gao Yunmiao could see the pleasure of revenge. While slowly handing her a glass of water to rinse her mouth, he snorted coldly, "Why? You pretend you don't know?"

Just as Qi Huan took a sip of water into his mouth, he choked again, almost losing his composure the second time.

Conscience, no one has mentioned this to her, okay?
Gao Yunmiao was obviously hostile to her. Qi Huan knew that if she explained, she would be regarded as sophistry by the other party. She was in a mess for a while, but at this moment she finally figured out why the empress would find her "Affair" with Gu Zhan, and even specially called her over.

and so--

That Gu Shizi, did you do this on purpose?Is it intentional?It's still intentional!
The little friction between the two cousins ​​was actually inconspicuous, and then it just happened to be sitting on the head of the empress, and the bored Crown Prince caught sight of it.

The first time Yun Zhan saw Qi Huan, he felt a little familiar.

He really didn't have anything serious to do right now, so he used his research spirit, looked at it a few more times, and then he was happy——

Hey!Isn't this the same girl who ignored Bengong at the gate of Changning Hou's mansion and played hard to get? !

Look, this time in the palace, she still pretends not to know me, and dare to say that she is playing hard to get?It's really hammered!
　Miss Qi: The Second Prince is much happier!
　　His Royal Highness: In the end, it was I who took care of everything...

　　Gu Shizi: Playing hard to get, that's your aunt→_→
