Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 204

After the two got bored for a while, Zhao Min remembered the business of looking for Gu Lingqing today, and immediately retreated from his embrace, urging him: "Close your eyes quickly, I have a joy for you."

Although Gu Lingqing was puzzled, she still followed Zhao Min's instructions and closed her eyes.
Only then did Zhao Min take out the purse from his waist and put it in front of Gu Lingqing's eyes: "Okay, you can open your eyes now."

With Zhao Min's permission, Gu Lingqing slowly opened her eyes.

"How is it? Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Looking at the purse embroidered with mandarin ducks in front of her, Gu Lingqing was stunned for a moment, then took it immediately, held it in her hand, and couldn't put it down.

This purse is obviously different from the fabric I saw last time, and it can be seen that the embroidery has improved a lot compared to last time. Although it is still a bit horrible, Gu Lingqing is very moved: "Why did you embroider again?" One?"

After finishing speaking, Gu Lingqing held Zhao Min's hand subconsciously, and saw that there were still some wounds on her hand, although not as many as last time, but still injured.

"I'm sorry to hurt you again." Gu Lingqing put Zhao Min's hands to her mouth, and kissed them gently one by one.

After he finished these actions, Zhao Min's face turned red again, and she quickly pulled her hand out of his hand: "This little injury is nothing."

Although it was a minor injury, it still made Gu Lingqing feel a little distressed. Looking at the fruit of Zhao Min's labor in his hand, it was immediately hung on his waist.

Seeing this, Zhao Min frowned. He really looked uglier and uglier, so he tore it off and stuffed it into Gu Lingqing's hand.

"You can keep this for yourself to appreciate, so don't hang it out. If someone looks at such a beautiful purse and asks me to embroider it for him, what will you do?"

Hearing the exaggeration in Zhao Min's mouth, Gu Lingqing just chuckled lightly, and said following her meaning: "Okay, okay, I can't let my Min'er's excellent craftsmanship be seen by others."

Time passed quickly, and today is the day of the incense tasting contest. Early in the morning, Zhao Min got dressed and went to Gu Lingqing's yard, and saw that he was already dressed and was about to go out.

"Let's go."

Gu Lingqing saw that she was about to go out in high spirits, and immediately took her hand: "It's still early, there's no rush, it's not too late to go after breakfast."

Zhao Min already had an idea in his heart, stretched out a finger, and shook it: "I heard that there is a bun shop in the east of the city that is very delicious, I want to try it."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Min seemed to feel that Baozi was calling him, and unconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

This early in the morning, when Gu Lingqing saw this scene, his throat tightened unconsciously, then he looked away and took her hand: "Let's go, go to the bun shop you mentioned."

The Fragrance Tasting Contest in the Imperial City is not only for women. Although the majority of the participants are women, there are both men and women who come to watch the audience.

Yuan is open to the people, and there are not many rules between men and women, so after Zhao Min learned that men can also go to watch, he dragged Gu Lingqing to go with him.

Gu Lingqing had no interest in this incense competition, but he would never refuse Zhao Min's request.

After the two of them went to the east of the city to eat steamed stuffed buns slowly, they realized that it was getting late, so they rushed to the competition venue in a hurry.

Zhao Min touched her bulging stomach and couldn't help sighing: "If I had known that his steamed stuffed buns were so delicious, I wouldn't have chosen to eat them today. It would kill me."

Hearing this, Gu Lingqing quickly stopped her footsteps and grabbed Zhao Min: "How can you run so fast when you are so full? Walk slowly!"

"But it's about to start!" Zhao Min looked towards the field that was still far away, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his tone.

"Don't worry, I won't be late." Gu Lingqing comforted her.

Just now, Zhao Min was still very anxious, but after hearing what Gu Lingqing said, her mood miraculously calmed down, and she let him lead her slowly to the venue.

It really made Gu Lingqing sure. When the two arrived, the match hadn't started yet.

And because of the Nine Princesses, although Zhao Min went late, he still had a good position.

"Why are you here now?" Looking at Zhao Min and Gu Lingqing who came late, Princess Jiu couldn't help complaining, "Do you know that many people have come to ask me about my position and want to sit with me!" After finishing speaking He also glanced at Gu Lingqing lightly.

"I know a very delicious steamed stuffed bun shop, I'll take you to eat it some other day!" Zhao Min cleverly changed the subject.

As soon as she heard the food, Princess Jiu's eyes lit up, completely forgetting the reason why she lost her temper just now: "Okay, you must take me to eat next time."

At this moment, I saw a man in a servant's costume on the Nuoda field in front of him, and he slammed the drum in front of him.

This marks the official start of the incense tasting competition. After hearing the sound of the drum, the crowd at the scene became quiet, and it was no longer as noisy as before.

At this moment, there was movement on the stage next to it, and a woman in a fine dress was seen walking onto the stage with the support of two maidservants.

"How could the emperor's wife be this year's judge?" Looking at the crown princess on the stage, the nine princesses couldn't help asking their own questions.

Zhao Min also frowned, staring at the Crown Princess' belly, which was not showing yet, is the Crown Prince really so big-hearted?With so many people at the scene, I am not afraid that there will be an accident for the imperial fetus.

The expression on Gu Lingqing's face beside him did not change much, but his hands on his lap clenched slightly.

The princess just said a few words, and then she was helped off the stage.

Today she only needs to show this side, and the other time she will show up is on the day of the finals.

The incense tasting competition lasted for three days. After numerous eliminations, only the three best talents could enter the finals and get the qualification for the crown princess to personally taste the incense, and this year's No.1 was selected.

Zhao Min had never seen any incense tasting competition before, and he did not expect that after the competition officially started, the scene would be very shocking.

Just because there are hundreds of people participating in the incense tasting competition, this large venue cannot test all the contestants at one time, so they have to randomly select questions, and [-] candidates in a batch will make fragrances on the spot.

In fact, this first day is nothing to watch, the ninth princess came here today just to see who this year's chief examiner is.

After seeing Wang Zimo's promotion, Princess Jiu yelled to leave.
