Chapter 249 Too much

Lin Wangyue hesitated for a moment, and then thought that Gu Huayu grew up in the countryside, so it was reasonable that he was not good at poetry and painting.

Lin Wangyue nodded and said with relief: "It's okay, then you have something to eat. Wait for everyone."

Gu Huayu smiled at her and said, "I don't have to worry about it. Just go about your business and don't worry about me."

Lin Wangyue continued to immerse himself in painting.

Gu Huayu continued to watch people writing poems and paintings out of boredom.

In the palace, the imperial concubine listened to Eunuch Fu's report, "The second young lady from the Ningyuan Hou Mansion was the first to finish, followed by the third young lady from the Prime Minister Wang's Mansion, and after Miss Wang was the third young lady from the Li Mansion."

The imperial concubine was delighted when she heard that her niece had finished the third one. She turned to Concubine De and said, "Sister Yue is following Hongjuan. She is very smart and quick-thinking."

Concubine De smiled and said: "Mrs. Liao was a famous and talented woman back then. Where is Princess Yanran? How is it? Have you finished the poem?"

Concubine De responded to the concubine's words, turned to Eunuch Fu, and asked about Gu Huayu's situation.

Eunuch Fu shook his head and said, "The princess sat there and looked around, not composing a poem."

"oh!"

The imperial concubine and the virtuous concubine said oh at the same time and looked at each other.

The imperial concubine asked: "Not a word was written?"

Eunuch Fu nodded, "Yes, the princess did not write."

Concubine De asked: "Do you know the reason? Is it disdain or inability to do it?"

The imperial concubine looked at Eunuch Fu. Eunuch Fu leaned forward and said, "Young man, I don't know."

Concubine Duan on the side took over the words, "Disdain? Probably not. Even if she is a princess conferred by the emperor, she would not dare to make trouble at the imperial concubine's flower party.

 From my point of view, it should not be possible. Thinking about it, the princess had been living in the countryside before, and her adoptive parents had limited conditions. It would be good if they could feed her evenly. Where can she afford a husband to teach her how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? "

The imperial concubine nodded, "That's true. It's a pity. She was born with beautiful face and beautiful face, and her beauty is alluring to the country and the city. It's all in vain! Alas!"

After the imperial concubine finished speaking, she let out a long sigh.

Concubine De was silent and doubtful. For her sake, Lu Ziqin did not hesitate to contradict his father and even went to the king himself to cancel the engagement. Is it just because of the skin? When did Lu Ziqin become so shallow?

Liu Shanggong came in with a stack of papers, leaned forward and said, "Madam, the girls have finished their work. The poems and paintings are all here. Please take a look at them."

There are four empresses in the palace. Concubine Li is not feeling well. The concubines present are Concubine Duan and Concubine De.

The imperial concubine took the paper and asked, "Are they all here?"

Liu Shanggong nodded, "They are all here! Princess Yanran only wrote her name. I asked the princess why she didn't do it. The princess said that she was not good at writing poems and paintings, so she didn't show off her shame."

The imperial concubine nodded, "I understand, go down and do your work.

Concubine De took the scroll handed out by the imperial concubine, lowered her head and flipped through it, but could not find Gu Huayu's scroll.

Turning his head to look at Concubine Duan, he asked, "Do you have Princess Yanran's scroll in your hand?"

Concubine Duan lowered her head to look through it and pulled out a blank scroll with only her name written on it.

Concubine Duan stared at the words and said, "The word Princess is so beautifully written."

The imperial concubine took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but praise: "What a beautiful hairpin in small regular script."

Concubine De leaned over and took a look, "Judging from the handwriting, the princess doesn't know how to write poems or paintings. Who would believe it? It doesn't look like she doesn't know how, but she disdains it."

The imperial concubine's face darkened, she raised her head and said to Mr. Fu who was standing beside her: "Let the princess come in to see me."

 Eunuch Fu bowed his body and left.

When Liu Shanggong came to collect the papers, Wang Peiyun and Cui Xinyi stared at Gu Huayu. Seeing that Liu Shanggong took away the blank papers, their faces were shocked at first, and then ecstatic. If they hadn't cared about the people around them, they would have high-fived and cheered. .

Lin Wangyue asked worriedly: "Princess, if you hand in a blank paper, you won't get into trouble, right?"

Gu Huayu smiled at her and said, "Nothing."

"Princess, the noble concubine has invited you." Eunuch Fu came over and bowed.

Lin Wangyue asked nervously: "Princess..."

Gu Huayu smiled at her and said, "Nothing, don't worry, I'll be right back."

Gu Huayu entered the palace and paid homage to the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine raised the white scroll in her hand and asked, "What does this mean, princess?"

Gu Huayu looked at the imperial concubine with a confused face, and asked in confusion: "I don't understand what the empress means?"

The imperial concubine was so choked by Gu Huayu's rhetorical question that she didn't know how to answer.

Concubine De narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Gu Huayu.

She didn’t know whether Gu Huayu was ignorant and fearless, or calm and composed? Regardless of whether it is the former or the latter, it is not easy for a person to face three harem empresses without changing his expression.

Concubine Duan smiled and took over the words, "Concubine Duan is asking you why you don't write poems or paintings, but come up with a white scroll?"

After hearing this, Gu Huayu lowered her head and asked timidly: "Isn't there a flower viewing party at Huaqing Palace today?"

Concubine Duan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course it's a flower appreciation party. Misses from other families are all writing poems and paintings based on the flowers in the concubine's garden. Why doesn't the princess do it?"

Gu Huayu was disgusted with Concubine Duan's question. Isn't she just a concubine? What's the point of putting on airs and showing off one's authority?

He said calmly: "Yanran didn't know that while appreciating flowers, she also had to write poems and paintings. Besides, Yanran thought that such activities were voluntary. Yanran grew up in the countryside and was not good at these things, so she stopped doing it."

Concubine De looked at Gu Huayu's paper and said, "The princess is good at calligraphy. It can be seen that the princess is not illiterate..."

Before Concubine De had finished speaking, the imperial concubine interrupted her and asked with a smile: "The princess is not good at these things. What is the princess good at?"

Gu Huayu looked at the imperial concubine who was smiling less than her eyes, and Fu Shen replied: "What Yanran knows is just something that a country boy can learn, and cannot reach the level of elegance. Yanran won't slander the ears of the ladies by saying it."

The smile on the imperial concubine's face froze. She had been in the harem for more than twenty years and had been in charge of the emperor's harem for more than twenty years.

Over the years, who has met her without being respectful and polite? Who dares to be like this wild girl and dare to flirt with her without giving her any respect.

She just saw that the emperor gave this wild girl the title of princess. In order to please the emperor, she sent more posts at Huahui today. She didn't expect that this person turned out to be a thorn in the side.

The imperial concubine frowned slightly, her face looking a little sullen, "It's okay, tell me, what do you know?"

 Gu Huayu saw that the imperial concubine had a bad look on her face, and knew that the concubine had annoyed her. She felt happy in her heart and even said, "Back to your concubine, Yanran can climb trees, shoot birds with a slingshot, and go down the river to catch fish..."

"Wait!" Before Gu Huayu could finish speaking, the imperial concubine pressed her hands on her temples to interrupt Gu Huayu's words.

Gu Huayu stopped and looked at the coquettish imperial concubine, giving her a look of contempt in her heart.

“What’s going on, noble concubine? Yanran hasn’t finished speaking yet?”

The imperial concubine waved her hands and said, "You don't need to say anything, just go down."

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine. Yanran still has something to do, so I'll go back first. Yanran takes her leave."

The imperial concubine did not react for a moment and said casually: "Go."

Gu Huayu took two steps back, turned around, walked out of the palace, and walked straight to the palace gate.

 The voice of Concubine De came from behind, "She just left like this? It's so unreasonable."

It was only then that the imperial concubine realized what Gu Huayu meant by saying goodbye. As a concubine in the harem, she naturally couldn't let her servants stop Gu Huayu in front of everyone, and her face turned blue with anger.

Concubine Duan said: "Forget it, how can a girl who grew up in the mountains know any etiquette? Let her go. If she stays, others will be uncomfortable and she will be embarrassed. Forget it, the girls are still waiting for the result. , let’s review it quickly.”

The imperial concubine said: "That's all, let's comment."

From the moment Gu Huayu entered the palace, Wang Peiyun's attention was on the palace door. Seeing Gu Huayu coming out of the palace and walking straight to the palace door, he quickly pulled Cui Xinyi with his hand and nuzzled at her.

Cui Xinyi looked over and raised her voice: "The flower party has just begun. What's wrong? Princess Yanran is about to leave?"

As soon as Cui Xinyi called out, everyone looked at Gu Huayu.

Gu Huayu turned to look at Cui Xinyi and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll go back first. You guys take your time and play."

“The princess can’t compose poetry, so she’s frightened, right?” Cui Xinyi said awkwardly.

Gu Huayu nodded, "Well, Miss Cui is right, I'm not good at writing poems, but I left not because I was scared, because I have something to do."

“Hey! You really can find a way for yourself!” Cui Xinyi curled her lips and said.

Gu Huayu was amused by her and said: "Don't curl your lips, I don't think that those who can write poetry are great, nor do I think that I am inferior just because I can't write poetry. Because, what I am good at is you. Not likely."

Cui Xinyi blurted out: "Then tell me, what are you good at? Let's show it to everyone."

Cui Xinyi took a step forward as she spoke, looking at Gu Huayu provocatively, as if she would never leave unless you show her off.

Gu Huayu said calmly: "I grew up in the mountains. I often went up to the mountains to play with my brothers. I am very accurate at throwing stones. How about I show you something?"

Cui Xinyi smiled and said: "The princess is really good at joking. Can throwing stones be considered a talent? Can something that a three-year-old baby can do also be considered a talent?"

Gu Huayu smiled and said: "I didn't say it was talent. You kept saying it was talent. I only said that I am good at this, not good at reciting poems and painting. I can't explain it to someone like you. I have something to do and I have to leave. "

 After Gu Huayu finished speaking, she turned around.

Wang Peiyun said hurriedly: "Since the princess said she is good at throwing stones, she can show her a little bit, so that I can wait and see."

Someone echoed: "Yes, the princess can show it off."

Gu Huayu shook her head, wondering: "It's still not possible. This is the imperial concubine's garden. Everything is carefully decorated by the imperial concubine. If it is damaged by the imperial concubine, it would be a big sin. We have a long time to live, and there will be many opportunities in the future. Let's go."

Wang Peiyun finally caught the opportunity, how could he let Gu Huayu go and said, "How can we gather everyone together another day? Let's ask the imperial concubine to find an open space in Huaqing Palace for the princess to show off her skills?"

Wang Peiyun deliberately used the word fist and foot in a strong way.

Cui Xinyi covered her mouth and snickered.

Wang Peiyun turned around and was about to tell the chamberlain around him to let him into the palace to report.

Gu Huayu said first: "We would be too ignorant to disturb the imperial concubine with this trivial matter. Since Miss Wang wants to see me show off so much, I, the princess, will grant Miss Wang San's wish."

Gu Huayu turned around and walked to the previous table, took a piece of rice cake from the plate and picked it up.

Lin Wangyue reminded in a low voice: "Princess, this is Huaqing Palace, there is no need to take advantage of them."

Gu Huayu smiled at Lin Wangyue and said, "Thank you, sister Yue. It's okay, don't worry."

Wang Peiyun didn't know what Gu Huayu was doing with her head down, so she urged: "Since the princess said that there is no need to disturb the imperial concubine, she has an idea. The princess might as well show it to me quickly and open my eyes."

Gu Huayu turned to look at Wang Peiyun and said, "I'm not in a hurry for anything, why are you in a hurry?"

 After Gu Huayu finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued her movements. After a while, Gu Huayu looked at the work in her hand and nodded with satisfaction.

Gu Huayu raised her head and looked at Wang Peiyun and Cui Xinyi. Said: "You two are so eager to show me, can you cooperate?"

Wang Peiyun felt wary and asked, "How do you want us to cooperate?"

Seeing Wang Peiyun's vigilant look, Gu Huayu smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous, Miss Wang? In the Huaqing Palace of the Imperial Concubine, can I still kill you two?"

Wang Peiyun thought about it. In Huaqing Palace, no matter how bold Gu Huayu was, he would not dare to do anything extraordinary.

Thinking like this, Wang Peiyun's heart relaxed. Asked: "Tell me, how do you want us to cooperate with you?"

Gu Huayu looked around and saw many people looking at them with gossipy faces.

 Similarly, when watching other people’s excitement, naturally the more exciting the better.

Lin Wangyue reminded: "Princess, please bear with your anger for a moment and avoid worrying for a hundred days. Don't act out of your anger."

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "Sister Yue, don't worry, I know what's going on."

"You should be more relaxed. How can Sister Yun and I cooperate with you?" Cui Xinyi said impatiently.

Gu Huayu looked up and said with a smile: "Miss Cui, what are you anxious about? If you two are willing to cooperate, will I escape in the middle of the battle?"

As Gu Huayu talked, she walked to the side. She was about three or four feet away from Wang and Cui.

 “Where are you going, Princess?”

Before Wang Peiyun said the word "Go", she felt something flying towards her. She wanted to hide, but her brain had an idea, but her limbs couldn't react.

Just for a moment, people didn't even see clearly how Gu Huayu took action. They saw Wang Peiyun standing there in shock, eyes staring up like bells.

Everyone looked at Wang Peiyun again, with a cute pig head hanging on a hairpin.

The scene was silent, and someone burst out laughing, "This pig is too cute!"

 A burst of laughter followed.

Wang Peiyun saw people laughing, but he didn’t know why they were laughing. He looked at this and that in annoyance, then turned to look at Cui Xinyi, "They are laughing..."

Wang Peiyun was shocked when she saw the "pig" on Cui Xinyi's head. She raised her hand to remove it for her in surprise and anger.

Cui Xinyi also saw the pig on Wang Peiyun's head and said, "Sister Yun, lower your head."

Wang Peiyun hurriedly lowered her head and asked Cui Xinyi to take off the "pig" on her head.

Wang Peiyun held the "pig" head in his hand, glared at Gu Hua and said, "Princess, what do you mean by this? Is it a little too much?"
