Chapter 32: Many Guys (Part 2)

The layout in the palace was crisscrossed like a chessboard, but in a short while, the little yellow gate disappeared at the corner of the palace gate.

Gu Xiyan waited for a while, feeling boring, so he simply watched the surrounding scenery.

Just now, the two of them had already entered the gate of the Imperial Garden, which was surrounded by green trees and green eyes.

Not far away, there are pavilions, towers, pools, water pavilions, and water pavilions.

Outside the railing inside the Banyuemen, a waterfall drooped from the strange rocks of the rockery. The water hit the huge rock at the bottom of the pond, splashing silver flowers, and making noises.

Gu Xiyan left after hearing the sound, turned half a moon gate, walked two more steps forward, leaned on the white jade railing, held his cheek with one hand, and saw that he was conscious.

There are occasional birds singing here, and no figure is seen, but there is a clear sound of flutes.

The sound of the flute is melodious and melodious, like crying and complaining, flying and circling in the greenery.

Gu Xiyan was fascinated by the sound of the flute. When the song ended, he realized that the sound of the flute was extremely sad and sad.

The beauty was inexplicably depressed by the sound of the flute. She was leaning on the white jade railing and suddenly saw a white figure holding a flute in her hand.

It is really not a gentleman's behavior to come uninvited and eavesdrop on his back.

Gu Xiyan felt guilty and immediately turned around and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, on the low slope outside the white jade railing, there was a lush and green field of crabapple in the West Mansion.

Just now, she turned around, and by chance, the branches protruded from the railing actually hooked the golden hairpin between her hair.

The three-layer gold-plated green lotus-retained golden hairpin fell on the low slope outside the white jade railing, which was particularly conspicuous.

Gu Xiyan immediately lay on the white jade railing and leaned forward to try to reach the golden hairpin on the low slope.

However, the distance was too far and could not be reached, Gu Xiyan was extremely anxious.

If it was another jewelry, it would be fine if it wasn't, but it was this golden hairpin.

Today, Gu Xiyan and Xiao Rang went to the palace to pay homage to the queen mother and specially brought this golden hairpin passed down from generation to generation by Xiao's mistress. Unexpectedly, they were hooked by branches here!

If such a valuable thing is lost, how can she explain to Xiao Rang?

Gu Xiyan was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan. Just as he was scratching his heart, he suddenly found that the man in white holding a flute was standing in front of the rockery, as if he had seen her embarrassment, and actually walked towards the white jade railing.

Now there is no one around to ask for help, and Gu Xiyan doesn't care about being discovered after eavesdropping behind his back, so he has to hope that the man in white can help and pick up the golden hairpin.

A person who can whimper and sob and feel as if he is sobbing and resentful as he is, probably not a bad person.

Just as he was thinking about this, the man in white had already walked in front of him. Gu Xiyan leaned over the white jade railing and looked down from a high place, but was stunned.

I saw the man wearing white clothes, silver crown, his hair was covered with hair, his face was like a jade crown, his eyes were bright and starry, and his face was pure and weak. He was like a treasure tree in the courtyard and a zhi orchid under the steps.

In the last life, Gu Xiyan was used to seeing the elegant and elegant literati and elegant guests with a handsome and elegant captain, and he was also regarded as a countless beauties.

But the person in front of him had a beautiful appearance and was full of immortality. Gu Xiyan suddenly felt that what he saw in the past was all vulgar and mediocre.

The man in white came across flowers and brushed the willows, stood under the white jade railing, raised his head slightly, his eyes as if he was like a pool, and his voice was clear and low, "Did this golden hairpin fall off by the lady?"

Gu Xiyan had something to ask for, so he immediately lay on the railing and smiled earnestly, "It was the one I fell from."

"I'm grateful to you for helping me."

The beauty's hair was slightly chaotic, leaning on the railing, and she smiled in her eyes and feasted in her eyes, like a clear spring, making people sweet to her heart.

The man in white looked faint, and immediately picked up the golden hairpin on the ground, stretched it high and handed it to her.

Gu Xiyan stretched out his arms, took the golden hairpin into his hand, and thanked him happily, "Thank you so much, young master."

Look at the man in white dressed up, he neither looked like an eunuch or a princely dress.

Gu Xiyan subconsciously regarded him as a palace musician.

Therefore, I wanted to turn around and leave, but I couldn't help but turn back and say:

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I asked the young master to atone for his sins.

I would like to talk more - this song "Guangling San" expresses Ji Kang's indignant and unyielding aura.

In the young master's flute, he only saw sadness but not strong, and he inevitably lost his character in the Wei and Jin Dynasties."

The man in white looked up at her, his lips trembling, but he didn't say anything.

——It doesn’t seem like I’m very happy to discuss Leyi with her.

Gu Xiyan thought that most literati and elegant guests were arrogant, and not to mention that people who could play the flute so well must be very arrogant and could not listen to other people's opinions.

The man in white was a little stunned, then smiled slightly, lowered his head and wiped the white jade hole flute in his hand, and said lightly, "The banquet in the Imperial Garden is about to begin."

"Madam shouldn't have appeared here."

Gu Xiyan smiled, "I'm talking too much."

When she turned around and walked out, the little yellow gate named Deyun was standing there in a hurry. When she saw Gu Xiyan, she hurriedly said, "Madam Pingyang Hou, where are you going? It's considered looking for you! The banquet is about to start, Madam, come with the servant!"

Gu Xiyan nodded and followed the little yellow gate toward the depths of the Imperial Garden.

Behind me is a verdant verdant, with a deep courtyard and a fog locked in the tower.

The man in white held a flute in his hand and stood under the white jade railing, and the only faint smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Gu Xiyan, you shouldn't have appeared here.

I shouldn't have met me.

...

In the Jinfeng Pavilion in the Imperial Forest Garden, there are already cloudy hair and flowers.

Jinfeng Pavilion is a three-story building with a small pavilion style. The second and third floors are all used as stages, so today's banquet only has one floor.

There are four diamond-shaped inner doors at the entrance, and four diamond-shaped inner windows open on the partition walls between the two ends.

There was a long banquet table wrapped in mahogany in the main house. There were about ten noble girls sitting next to the table, and there were cold and hot bowls on the table.

Gu Xiyan entered the door and saw the gifts with a group of noble girls. He looked around and found a seat to sit down. By chance, he looked at Princess Huiru at the other end of the Changchang table.

Princess Huiru occupied a corner of the banquet table, and no one sat on both sides. The noble girl sitting next to her was even more evasive to snakes and scorpions.

Seeing this, Gu Xiyan immediately smiled slightly, walked towards Princess Chong Huiru, and sat down beside her.

Princess Huiru wore a red robe and a gorgeous and complex gem-inlaid hat. She was holding a dagger with gems inlaid, and was cutting a piece of white bone in her hand.

This scene is so familiar.

Gu Xiyan shivered inexplicably, trying not to look at the small piece of white bone in her hand, and smiled and said, "I have seen the princess."

Princess Huiru raised her eyelids and looked at Gu Xiyan with a cold expression, "Madam Pingyang Hou is much more courageous than last time, and now she dares to sit next to this princess."

"A man should treat him with admiration for three days after he has been separated."

Gu Xiyan smiled, "Besides, since there is an empty seat next to the princess, it is naturally for people to sit."

This is for Princess Huiru, and for a few noble ladies next to her who are avoiding snakes and scorpions.

Princess Huiru listened to these comforting words and looked at Gu Xiyan deeply, then lowered her head and took the dagger and cut off the bones in her hand.

While speaking, the palace maids had already entered the hall with red lacquer pumpkin food boxes.

In the food box, each crab was as big as two fists. When the lid was opened, the crab paste was piled up, as red as jade fat and amber.

Crabs do not use oil and salt, but are just placed on bamboo cages and cooked with clean water.

Because crabs are watery and are afraid that they will become fishy when they are cold, they only put one in front of each person and eat it before taking it.

In addition to the dozens of cold and hot bowls that were originally available on the table, the palace maids also served with crab-assisted ducks and amber-colored drunk shrimps... There were also several plates of fruits that were cleared, mostly dried chestnuts, black water chestnuts, honey oranges, etc.

The crabs were on the table, and the noble girl in the room immediately started to make a fuss.

On that side, Bai Mingruan, the daughter of the Bai family, held a crab in her hand and smiled, "It takes at least half an incense stick to be removed after using the 'Eight Crabs'. I'm afraid that a house will be built! Since we eat this last time this fall, we can enjoy it. Only by breaking it open with bare hands will it be called returning to nature!"

He Siying, the daughter of the He family, smiled and said, "You have to put any good things on yourself! I insist on taking the 'Eight Crabs' to remove the crabs, and just eat them together. That's a pleasure! Don't be jealous at that time!"

Gu Xiyan only smiled and said nothing when she saw it.

In her previous life, she was involved in the poetry club's elegant collection and met many noble female playmates.

If there is a good relationship, there are only two people, Bai Mingruan and He Siying.

These two people really love to eat and play. They can always come up with new tricks every time they eat, drink and have fun.

Gu Xiyan was weak and had always avoided food. After eating a little crab paste, he put down his chopsticks and rinsed his mouth with Lanxue Tea.

Princess Huiru, who was standing beside her, grew up in the northwest. She felt novel about crabs and felt that they were a little uncomfortable with them.

I only used the dishes and cured dishes on the table, and poured and drank them by myself.

The girls in that wing had already become a mess. Bai Mingruan ran over quickly and placed the neatly peeled crab meat in his hand in front of Gu Xiyan, and smiled and said, "Sister Gu is so lucky. Just now, I bet with He Siying that she won the crab that she had peeled with eight crabs for a long time in vain, and specially used it to honor her sister!"

Seeing that He Siying behind him had already rushed towards this side, Bai Mingru reached out and patted Princess Huiru beside him, and said, "I'm also filial to the princess!"

Then he ran away.

After hearing Bai Mingruan's words, Princess Huiru was stunned and immediately stood there, and then was photographed again, and an inexplicable warm current passed through her heart.

Looking at Princess Huiru's dazed look, Gu Xiyan was really afraid that she would say "indiscretion" again, and hurriedly said, "They have always been unpretentious, so the princess just ignore them."

Princess Huiru didn't say anything, just picked up the chopsticks and picked up the crab leg meat from the silver plate, put it in her mouth and chewed it.
