Chapter 376 Beg for a coincidence, unfortunately! (4)
Yun Shuo left the table and went to the small room that was specially cleaned up to wash the hands of the emperor and empress. Wu Miao hurriedly asked someone to bring warm water in to help the emperor wash his hands.

"Your Majesty, the Empress sent someone to bring you sober soup." Wu Miao approached with a smile and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to use some? This servant also sees that His Majesty's face is a bit drunk."

"Where did I get drunk? I want you to talk too much, a dog slave." Yun Shuo snorted displeased.

"Yes." Wu Miao hurriedly apologized with a smile, "Your Majesty has a lot of wine, so you can't get drunk with just a few cups of flower wine. Even though the empress has not been so refreshed these days, she has drunk a few big cups. The slave looks at the empress today. My son is in a very good mood, and I'm not too drunk."

"Hmph." Yun Shuo gave Wu Miao a dissatisfied look, and finally got up and went forward, "Let's go, don't leave her there alone, and drink too much."

On the Liufang stage, cups of wine were intertwined, and laughter was noisy.In the hibiscus bushes behind, someone whimpered softly.

"Ningshuang, don't cry. It's not good to let the servants who come and go hear it." Wang Yunling held the handkerchief in his hand, and sent it forward, but he never dared to touch Gu Ningshuang's hand.

But the grievance in Gu Ningshuang's heart was like a torrential river bursting its embankment, and it was uncontrollable.Hearing what Wang Yunling said, he spat angrily: "You are afraid that you will be responsible, so just go back and drink and compose poems. What are you doing here?"

"Ningshuang, don't be like this." Wang Yunling turned around anxiously, and persuaded again, "I was awarded a Jinshi this spring. I originally wanted to go home and ask someone to propose marriage to your father. But I heard that you My family sent you to Zhongyihou's mansion. I thought, even if I go back, I'm afraid it won't help the matter. It's better to stay in the imperial capital and make plans. Maybe I can still see you. Now...God has mercy on me, and it will end today Letting you and me meet on Liufang Terrace shows that you and I have this fate!"

"So what? You say fate, but who can see through fate? You should understand why I came to this summer palace today!" Gu Ningshuang suppressed the sadness in her heart, sobbing in a low voice Said, "I'm afraid that after tonight... you and I are destined to have nothing to do with each other after all!"

Hearing this, Wang Yunling's heart suddenly turned cold, and he took two steps back in a murmur: "You...what on earth are you thinking?"

"I'm a daughter's family, what should I think about this kind of thing?" Gu Ningshuang said, crying again.

"So, do you want to listen to your father's arrangement?" Wang Yunling asked disappointedly.

Gu Ningshuang raised her head suddenly, looked at the face she had been thinking about day and night through the faint light of the wind lamp among the flowers, and said with a wry smile: "It's not just my father's arrangement, but the entire Gu family's arrangement... my grandfather , my aunt, and... the eldest princess and the Zhongyihou residence..."

"I understand." Wang Yunling nodded with a wry smile, "You don't need to say any more, I understand..."

"You..." Gu Ningshuang looked at Wang Yunling's hurried and staggering back, suddenly became anxious, "Don't go! Stop...you, don't go..."

"Ningshuang, I, Wang Yunling, can't give you what Gu's want." Wang Yunling turned his back to Gu Ningshuang, raised his head slightly, and let the rain of Qixi Festival fall on his face.

Gu Ningshuang was stunned for a moment, looking at Wang Yunling's thin back, unable to speak a word.

On the Liufang Terrace, the event of forming a fan and falling has already been seen, and the winner is Su Lan, the princess of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

Han Qian looked at Su Lan with a smile, and said, "Princess Su is really smart and intelligent. Come here and enjoy a glass of fine wine, a pair of Hetian jade pendants, and a pair of oriental pearl hairpins."

Su Lan hurriedly stood up and kowtowed to thank her: "My lady, I thank the empress for the reward."

Han Qian smiled and said, "Also, Ben Gong said that you can choose one of the poems written by the academicians of the Imperial Academy. Now, go and choose."

For a while, many bachelors secretly sweated.

Su Lan, the daughter of an aristocratic family, although her father did nothing, she is at least a princess.This is simply a ladder to the sky for these scholars who have studied hard for more than ten years to get to where they are today.What's more, this ladder is exquisitely carved, and it is also very beautiful. It is a ladder of gold and jade.

Who does not like?Who wouldn't want to have it?Who wouldn't want to be the son-in-law of the Dingbei Hou Mansion?
However, Su Lan didn't pay attention to those scholars and the poems neatly placed on the desk.

"Going back to the empress, Su Lan is ignorant and ignorant of literature and ink, so she dare not be presumptuous in front of the scholars. Su Lan wants all the masterpieces of the scholars, but dare not." Su Lan knelt on the ground and respectfully looked at Han Qian kowtowed, "I beg your empress to forgive me."

Su Lan, as the eldest daughter of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, has been influenced by piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. Although I can't say how profound her attainments are in writing and ink, she still knows the basics of identification.She said that she did not dare to choose the works of the great scholars of the dynasty, but she was just saying it euphemistically, but she actually disdains it.

"What's wrong with this? It's just that I don't understand, why don't you dare to take it? You know, this is the writing and ink of our top-notch talents in Dayun Dynasty. Even if you don't understand it, you can just pick one and take it back, and you can frame it Get up and decorate your study." Han Qian asked with a smile.

In fact, Han Qian's question was rather difficult.You must know that Dingbeihou's mansion is a home of wealth and honor for many generations, and the decorations in Dingbeihou's study are all rare ancient calligraphy and paintings. Even if the works of these fledgling boys in the dynasty are good, they are not qualified to be hung.

"What the empress said is very true." Su Lan kowtowed again, "It's just that Su Lan has little talent and learning, and dare not be rash and presumptuous. Su Lan is bold and wants to use the insight of her majesty and empress to choose one of the jewels for Su Lan."

Han Qian chuckled, "You know how to settle accounts."

Just at this time, Wang Yunling returned to the banquet with a cold face, and was just seen by Yun Shuo, so His Majesty the Emperor pointed with his long arm and said, "Wang Yunling's calligraphy is good, and his poems are also good."

Su Lan turned her head and glanced at Wang Yunling, who was all alone, kowtowed calmly, and said loudly, "My lady, thank you for your majesty's kindness."

Wang Yunling was so stupid that he didn't understand what was going on, so he received envious or jealous eyes from his companions.

The wind blew away the clouds, but within a short while, the light rain stopped.The rain-washed night sky is extraordinarily clear, with a crescent moon dotted with stars, dotted in the dark blue night sky, extraordinarily bright.

Han Qian laughed and said, "It is said that on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can be heard whispering under the grape arbor. For so many years, I have heard it every year, but I have never heard it."

Yun Shuo suddenly smiled: "That's because I didn't accompany you." After speaking, Yun Shuo put down the wine glass, stretched out his hand to hold Han Qian's hand and got up, "Go, this year's Qixi Festival, I will accompany you to listen to the whispers of the gods .”
