Is the prince infertile?The lady was so happy!

Chapter 1451
Tangqiu also got up early, combed her hair, dressed up, and changed her clothes.

After all, the poetry meeting is held in the name of her birthday, if you don't dress up, it will inevitably appear that you don't pay enough attention to it.

The servant girl carefully selected a suit of water green skirt for her, with a lotus leaf green brocade belt tied around the waist, and unique lotus leaf patterns embroidered on the cuffs of the skirt.The accessories on the head did not choose gold or silver, they were all replaced by emeralds and pearls.

The little girl in the mirror is as quiet as a lotus leaf in the cool breeze of a summer night.

The nurse laughed beside her and said, "Our young lady is fairer than her skin, and this green color complements her skin even more."

But the servant girl was worried: "I heard that there are quite a few beautiful ladies among the young ladies who came here today. Is the young lady dressed too plainly? After all, it is the young lady's birthday party. It would be embarrassing to be compared to others. .”

Tang Qiu said with a smile: "I was born not beautiful enough, no matter how I dress up, I can't compare to others. Why do I have to be strong? It's enough to be myself."

Poems are held in gardens and pavilions by the lake.

Tea, pastries and other food are placed on the tea table in the pavilion, while pen, ink, paper and inkstone are placed on the table outside for ladies to write poems.

After all, it was a poetry meeting. Before this, Tang Qiu had already drawn up the topic and picked some exquisite and precious jewelry from the warehouse as the prize for the poetry meeting.

Girls in twos and threes, or sitting in the pavilion drinking tea and laughing, or gathering by the lake to enjoy lotus and fishing, or sitting face to face to play chess.There are also women who want to be strong and rely on their talents, who want to win the first prize in today's poetry meeting, and those who think hard about pen and ink.

Tang Qiu sat in the corner of the pavilion, drinking a glass of iced sour plum soup, and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief from time to time.

"It's too hot." The servant girl waved a fan for her, and said softly, "Miss, you are wearing such thin clothes, but you are still hot. Those ladies are wearing layers, how come they are not hot?"

Tang Qiu looked at the ladies around him, and saw that most of the ladies were dressed in very complicated and gorgeous clothes. Although their cheeks were flushed, they still maintained a dignified posture of a lady.

"Have someone bring some more basins of ice." She told the servant girl, "Make the surrounding area cooler."

The maid said in a low voice: "Second master and second wife have never allowed the family to be too extravagant and wasteful."

"I know, but the situation is different today. It's not like this every day in our family. So many daughters come here, what if we get caught in the heat? Hurry up and get some more ice from the ice cellar. "

The maid then hurried out.

Not long after, she led seven or eight servants to move a large basin of ice into and around the pavilion.

In this way, the wind blowing over the small lake is a cool breeze.

The ladies suddenly felt refreshed, talking and laughing loudly.

At this time, there were several youths in Chinese clothes passing by on the other side of the lake.

Tang Qiu frowned, and asked the servant girl: "Who is that over there? This is the back house, and I also said that today is the day of the poetry meeting, who let the foreigner in?"

"Slave maid, go and ask."

The servant girl ran over and came back panting, "Miss, over there are the young master and some friends."

"You go and tell the young master, ask him to go shopping with his friends elsewhere, here are all ladies from various families, it's better not to collide."

"Yes."

The maid went over again.

Unexpectedly, he didn't persuade the other party.

Tang Qiu had no choice but to go there in person, and sure enough, he saw his younger brother Li Xuan Bing joking with several teenagers.

"Jelly Bean!" Tang Qiu called out his younger brother's name.

Li Xuanbing blushed, and quickly apologized to a few friends, ran to his sister, and begged for mercy: "Sister, you can say whatever you want at home, but in front of outsiders, at least give me some face."

"Why didn't I give you face?"

"Don't call me by my nickname."

"Why, the word Tangdou is sorry for you?" Tangqiu sneered, "Our eldest aunt gave us this name. If you have the ability, go tell your eldest aunt and ask her to take back your nickname!"

Li Xuanbing smiled wryly: "Sister, don't joke, how dare I."

"I just asked someone to come over and say, please take your friends to go shopping elsewhere, why don't you go?" Tang Qiu pointed to the opposite side, "There are all the ladies from the rich and powerful families in the capital over there, which one did you collide with? It's not something you or I can take responsibility for."

"Sister, look who's over there—"

Li Xuanbing quietly pulled her and pointed to a figure behind the bushes.

Tang Qiu took a closer look, saw the other person's profile, fell silent for a while, and said, "I understand."

She turned around and was about to leave when a voice came from the other side: "Is it Sister Tangqiu? Come here."

Li Xuanbing hurriedly grabbed her sleeve, and whispered: "Sister, His Majesty is calling for you, go quickly."

"I see."

The siblings came behind the tree one after the other.

Gu Ci was wearing a light blue fine cotton uniform, with only a purse hanging around his waist, his whole body was clean and neat.Although a beautiful face has not lost its childishness, it already shows a heroic and domineering spirit.

Tang Qiu took a quick look, then quickly bowed his knees and saluted: "Zhiru has seen His Majesty."

Li Zhiru was her real name.

Gu Ci smiled at Tang Qiu: "The last time we met, sister Tang Qiu was still young, but seeing her today, she has grown a lot taller."

Tang Qiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty too."

"I heard you laughing again and again, why are you so happy playing?" Gu Ci asked.

"It's a joint poem by everyone."

"Why don't we go and have a look?" Another teenager suggested enthusiastically.

"The girls are having fun together, why are you joining in the fun?" Gu Ci said as he put down the chess pieces and stood up, "Let's go back."

Li Bingxuan didn't dare to object, he was busy leading the way and arranging carriages and horses.

"Your Majesty is leaving now?" Tang Qiu asked suddenly.

Gu Ci turned to look at her: "Is there anything else you can do, Cousin Tangqiu?"

"There is a good Dahongpao over there, so I cook it. If His Majesty is not busy at the moment, why not sit down and have a cup of tea."

"Big red pouch?"

"Yes." Tangqiu said with a smile, "It was given to my mother by Lady Jiang, who was reluctant to drink it, so she gave it to me. I have learned how to make tea from Lady Jiang for a while, if your Majesty doesn't mind, you can taste it."

Gu Ci knew that the Jiang lady she was talking about was the Jiang Fu who had been his father's concubine.

Now Jiang Fu runs a restaurant in the capital, the business is quiet, only entertaining princes and nobles and scholars.

Because of her previous status in the imperial palace, even though she was only a woman and controlled a huge restaurant, no one dared to provoke her.

Since the "passing away" of the Queen Mother, Jiang Fu has maintained a good relationship with the county prince's mansion, visiting the door in person from time to time to deliver some dishes and wine made by herself, but she has become friends with Yang Xue.

Gu Ci knew about Jiang Fu's tea-making skills, and when he heard that Tang Qiu was a teacher of Jiang Niangzi, he also became a little curious, so he went to the opposite side of the lake.

When the ladies suddenly saw the eldest lady of the county prince's mansion leading a few youths in fine clothes, they were a little surprised for a moment.
