Reborn as the General's Wife

Chapter 88
"Eat slowly, be careful of choking!" Hong Dou was very worried about the old man Wuying. Seeing Wuying waving his hand, he was chewing the duck meat with oil in his hands, and he still didn't forget to answer her, "It's okay, Delicious, you girl is really generous today, knowing to honor my old man."

"This is specially ordered by Her Royal Highness to bring it to you. If you want to thank you, please thank the princess!"

When Wuying heard it, he was so surprised that he forgot to swallow. As a result, he tragically choked on the duck meat.

After drinking a pot of water, I finally came back alive!
He glanced at Hongdou reproachfully, "You crow's mouth!"

But when he thought that this was specially asked to be brought by his apprentice, the old Wuying felt that he was more satisfied than eating a roast duck at the moment, and finally got a roast duck honored by that unsympathetic apprentice who is still not called a master. Easy, he was so happy!
When the old man is happy, he likes to fly around the sky and the ground, and he rushes out!
"Excuse me, is your highness the little princess back?"

At the gate of the palace, the little eunuch who continued to call someone spoke to the maid guarding the gate, looking anxious.

"His Royal Highness has just returned."

"Then please go and invite the princess to the banquet. Your Majesty has called for it several times."

The little palace maid came in and told the big palace maid of Qingxin Palace that Mu Fang finally passed to Gu Qingxin's ears.

"Princess, do you want to go?"

Xiangsi asked softly, if the princess decides to go, she needs to quickly change into formal clothes and make up.

Gu Qingxin looked away from a red plum tree planted outside the window, and nodded slowly, "En, change clothes."

Now that things have come to this point, we will always meet in the future. As long as she is still a princess, as long as she has not given up on her wish, as long as she continues to fulfill her plan well, there is no way to ignore that person.

They come, the security.

If you can't escape, don't escape.

Gu Qingxin smiled wryly in her heart. When did she become so indecisive? Since she was reborn, this was the first time that her mood had such a big ups and downs.

On the glass mirror, there is a beautiful and bright face, the pupils are cut in autumn water, the eyebrows are in the distant mountains, the eyes are like autumn waves, the lips are not prickly but vermilion, and the skin like creamy white jade does not show any blemishes.

Natural beauty is hard to give up on, Acacia doesn't need to spend too much effort on the master's face every time, because any makeup powder on the master's face is a kind of superfluous addition, but adds to the flaws.

However, today is not the same as in the past. This is a celebration banquet where all the officials are present, and it is also a celebration for military generals that the princess is willing to advocate. It’s better to be amazed by the four seats!
It left a deep impression, which will naturally help the princess' future prestige.

Worried about how to be more original, Xiangsi raised her head and saw the plum blossoms that the master had looked at just now. The red plum blossoms are blooming beautifully. In the frost and snow, it seems that they have not been defeated by the frost and cold at all. Even in the winter when all the flowers are withered, it is still full and warm like a flame, making people unable to look away at a glance.

With a move in his heart, Xiangsi immediately had an idea.

"Master, look!"

After putting on the makeup, Xiangsi held the mirror and placed it in front of Gu Qingxin. In the clear and transparent mirror, a peerless beauty appeared in front of her eyes. Her face was absolutely beautiful. Although she hadn't fully opened her face, it was enough to overwhelm the country. Qingcheng, the most admirable thing is that at the center of the eyebrows, a red plum blooms proudly, just like the beauty that never fades in the cold winter!

Because of this embellishment, it instantly added a touch of surprise to the originally talented girl.

"The mirror presented by Mr. Situ is really clear, much better than the bronze mirror. Master, once you appear on stage like this, you will surely amaze the audience."

Xiangsi looked at the mirror with excitement on her face. She had never tried the flower tint painted on the center of her eyebrows before. Looking at it now, it really is very beautiful. It really matches the red of the plum blossom and the porcelain white skin of the master. The painting is like a fairy.

Is this person, this face, really her?
Gu Qingxin silently looked at her face in the mirror. She was obviously very familiar with her own face, and she could see it every day when she was dressing up, but at this moment, it seemed a little strange. On the red plum.

Just like the plum tree outside the window, it is very beautiful!
Gu Qingxin's memory suddenly opened again. It seems that a long time ago, there was a courtyard where she lived. One day, plum blossoms were suddenly planted overnight, and the entire courtyard was filled with plum blossoms. The whole residence was covered with plum blossoms. fragrance.

At that time, she always liked to be in a daze, and she often lost her temper, complaining about herself, feeling downcast, venting her anger on other people or furniture at every turn, and never seeing a smiling face, but after seeing the plum trees full of red plums in the yard, she felt much more cheerful. sky.

It turned out that there was also a kind of tree planted in the yard, but it was ruined by her whipping the whip when she was angry. I don’t know who restored the yard full of red plum trees overnight, but after that time, Because the plum blossoms are beautiful and smell good, she has not been spoiled by her anymore, and she has relieved her boredom for a long time.

"Master, master?" Xiangsi didn't hear back from the master for a long time, and was a little worried that her behavior was a bit abrupt, so she asked gently in Gu Qingxin's ear carefully.

"Are you satisfied? If the master doesn't like it, the slaves will change."

Gu Qingxin stood up and took a few steps, "No need, I'm very satisfied, just go quickly."

Xiangsi stepped forward a few steps and began to change clothes for the master.

After putting on the inner garment, middle garment, outer garment, outer robe, and cloak one by one, the urging voice of the little eunuch outside the door came again.

Gu Qingxin glanced at the clothes she was wearing. It was a light yellowish white dress with unique flowers embroidered with gold and silver on the sleeves. The style was formal and traditional. On the big red cloak, a circle of white fox fur was very warmth.

"Let's go."

Gu Qingxin stepped forward, followed by two Xiangsi Hongdou, the sedan chair had been waiting outside the door for a long time, there were four people carrying the sedan chair, and behind them were six second-class court ladies and eunuchs from the Qingxin Palace, the group moved at a uniform speed He moved in the direction of Weiyang Palace where the celebration banquet was held.

-

Weiyang Palace is the palace where major banquets are held in the imperial palace. The hall can accommodate up to tens of thousands of people at a time, and major celebrations and other activities and ceremonies will be held here.

In the palace carved with dragons and painted phoenixes, there is singing and dancing, and the sound of silk and bamboo music can be heard endlessly. On the first seat of the hall, the emperor and queen are sitting together, and behind them are two personal eunuchs serving each other.

The lower part is to separate the two sides, the civil servants are on the left, and the generals are on the right, and the main characters of this celebration banquet, the two returning generals sit on the upper part of the right, closest to His Majesty the Emperor.

Even at the celebration banquet where the generals are proud, the status of the generals sitting on the right is obvious. The Platinum Kingdom has always respected the left, even today, it is still the case.

On the side close to the emperor, there are several additional seats, where the prince sits, and on the side close to the queen, there are also three seats. Smiling, sometimes laughing and talking, sometimes toasting and celebrating, the literary talents are elegant, and the conversation is elegant, which is worthy of everyone's demeanor.

The only vacant seat has not seen a single person until now. The banquet has already started for an hour, and there is still no one there.

It can be seen from the expression of expectation and disappointment that all the people present looked at the empty seat from time to time, instead of dissatisfaction, that there should be a special person in that seat.

However, the person everyone was looking forward to never came.

"Father, what did Sanhuangmei do? At such an important moment, she has been absent for a long time. What does this mean? Sanhuangmei told me to love the people like a child today, but She can't do it herself, is it just lip service all the time?"

As soon as the performance in the audience was over, Gu Qingcheng couldn't help it anymore. First, he toasted the emperor and queen very respectfully, and then asked the emperor such words very anxiously.

As soon as these words came out, the next singing and dancing performance had not yet started. The intentionally amplified voice and the words of the three princesses in the mouth made almost all the civil and military ministers present focus on Gu Qingcheng, especially the next one. Some of the minister's young descendants did not look this way, but their ears were already pricked up, waiting for His Majesty's answer.

The second princess asked the doubts in all of them, why, why hasn't the third princess arrived yet?You know, if it wasn't for seeing the little princess with their own eyes, they wouldn't be so looking forward to this banquet.Even though the princess' talent has been praised many times, the golden branches and jade leaves are always in the noble palace, and the women in the harem can't do politics, so it is impossible to appear in the court. It is not ordinary difficult to meet the goddess.

"Your third sister may have been delayed by something, she will be here later. Qingcheng, why don't you just enjoy the show, don't you usually like these singing and dancing shows the most?" The emperor was not stupid about the matter, so he naturally heard the dissatisfaction in Gu Qingcheng's mouth. Xin'er's reputation was finally better, and she couldn't be ruined by such a few words.

But it's true, what happened to that girl today, she was late, let's see how he punishes her later!
"Father, it doesn't matter if we wait, but to make so many ministers present wait, as well as the two generals who have made great achievements and returned from victory, don't you respect the great heroes of the Platinum Kingdom? Woolen cloth?"
