prince attendant

When Xilinjue heard Mu Qing's words, she lowered her head and smiled slightly, then fell silent again and just looked out of the window. Mu Qing followed her line of sight and saw only a layer of white window screen, a vast expanse of whiteness. Scenery, I don't know what the princess is looking at.

In such silence, they soon arrived at the agreed mountain forest. The passage had already been opened, and there were guards along the way. The gathering place was a wide courtyard built in the forest, with forest, stone and mountain springs in it. The spring water converges into streams left from the mountain, gurgling and circling around it, which can be described as a very suitable scene for escaping the summer heat.

And in this wide courtyard, a thin bamboo curtain has been pulled up to separate the inside and outside. There is a slightly wide gap between the thin bamboo, through which the girl inside can see the outside scene, and the outside Naturally, the courtyard is where the princes talk and talk, and the women will talk and listen behind the curtain. When they want to speak or inscribe poems, they will hand out bamboo slips or white-faced folding fans from behind the curtain, and call the attendants outside. Come and read the words above, or those who are willing to face the talented scholars can also speak from behind the bamboo curtain.

When Mu Qing and the Crown Princess arrived, many people had already arrived. Following the recommendation of the maid, they went straight to visit His Royal Highness Princess Chaoyang. Qinghu followed the attendants, looked at each other and smiled with Mu Qing, and then nodded first.

When the princess saw Mu Qing, she was a little surprised, so she smiled and said

"Yang Xiu, he is very resolute to say no, why did he send you to participate in this kind of thing?"

Mu Qing saluted her and said hello, then replied with a smile

"Your Highness is busy with things, so I can't come here. Ruyu naturally wanted to watch the princess feast, and happened to meet Her Royal Highness, so I asked Her Royal Highness to take me to have a look. Please don't mind if Ruyu doesn't invite me. come."

When he said this, Xilinjue looked back at him, but he didn't deny it. Of course, Princess Chaoyang didn't mind, and she even said happily

"Seeing that you and Xiao Jue have such a good relationship, even Bengong is a little relieved. It seems that the relationship between Yang Xiu and Xiao Jue is not as cold as the rumors say."

This question - Mu Qing can only smile and say nothing, but she also feels that it is difficult to answer, so she ignores such words, and then asks about the matters here, Princess Chaoyang said

"I heard that you were quite famous when you were in the palace. Why don't you show it off? The talented people at the banquet today should have your classmates. I will sit and talk with Xiaojue for a while. You and Qinghu You don't have to stick to our women, go and talk with your old friends, you can also participate in today's game, if you are attracted by a certain lady, if you are interested in someone today, I will solve the marriage for you, Yang Xiu But I owe this palace a favor."

Saying this, the people next to him also laughed, and Ruyu also smiled and responded:

"Then I will borrow a good word from Her Majesty the Princess."

Needless to say, this is just polite talk. The ladies at the banquet are all from famous families, and the young masters at the banquet are all young and talented. In any case, it is not my turn to talk about Mu Qing.

Therefore, Mu Qing didn't take such words to heart, and after talking for a while, seeing that Princess Chaoyang had something to talk to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess in private, Mu Qing retreated with Qinghu and avoided it for a while.

But the number of people in the hall has already arrived, so today's gathering has already begun. Music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea, each show their strengths, it's also exciting to watch.

It's just that Mu Qing and Qing Hu are sitting next to the railing in the corner, one can see the demeanor of the talented scholars in the courtyard, and also the expressions of the ladies behind the curtain, there are signs of mutual admiration, but there are traces of mutual admiration, which can be seen clearly .

Princess Chaoyang and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess are seated at the top, accompanied by several brides of famous noble families, chatting with each other from time to time, indicating that Her Highness the Crown Princess is from the Xilin clan, and occasionally she opens her mouth to participate in it, or compose poems, or make comments. There are many, but she is quite sharp, but her words are all down to the point, well-founded, and the historical classics are written casually, not deliberately showing off or embarrassing, but it is also very admirable.

Although Mu Qing didn't participate in it, other people recognized him, especially Qinghu, so they came to invite them to participate from time to time, and Mu Qing also talked about a few topics, which was steady and not embarrassing, but he didn't It's amazing, but in a word, it's nothing special.

Qinghu lived up to his reputation as a genius, and the poems he wrote were magnificent and unique, among which there were many allusions, astronomy, geography, official history and unofficial anecdotes at his fingertips. I like it very much, and I am yearning for it.

Mu Qing looked at Qinghu's eloquent talk, and looked sideways at the people behind the curtain who felt admiration in her heart. She could only sigh for them. It's a pity that she is a talented person who has already been taken under the command of Princess Chaoyang.

However, Mu Qing is actually still a little puzzled. Regarding the relationship between Qinghu and Princess Chaoyang, it is said that they are appreciated by the diners, but they are really treated as guests. However, if it is said that the two are in love, the two are talented and beautiful .

However, Mu Qing felt that Qinghu was not a good match for a doorman who was acting as a facade, and also felt that it was almost impossible to say that the two of them were going to tie the knot.

"When I met Her Highness the Princess, it was a clear afternoon. Maybe one day when the sky is clear, I will leave Her Highness the Princess."

Qinghu sat opposite him, and when he heard Mu Qing asking about his relationship with Princess Chaoyang, he answered like this, stretched out his hand and twirled the branches and leaves that fell on the table, blowing them out, and said with a slight smile

"Meeting is a very mysterious thing, and intersecting is an unexplainable fate. To explore the mystery and fate is to pursue falsehood. If you have to go to the bottom, of course you will not get the answer."

Mu Qing smiled while holding her chin, and said

"What you said is too mysterious, I can't understand, but in short, these so-called mysterious words mean that it is easy to get together, but I don't believe that you can come at will. Random people, after all, people are not The leaves that are separated from the branches can be said to be scattered."

Qinghu laughed out loud, then sighed

"Although it is not the most satisfying Maxima in Princess Chaoyang's heart, it always wants to repay Bole's kindness, just like everyone in this court, although they have not met His Royal Highness, they always think about how to repay His Royal Highness Isn’t it the kindness of knowing you?”

Mu Qing and him looked at each other, lowered their heads and drank the already warm tea, did not answer such questions, but asked again

"Speaking of which, I really don't know why Her Royal Highness would suddenly hold such a gathering. I don't believe it's just because of the cool weather."

Qinghu also explained the reason very readily.

"I heard that through the relationship of His Royal Highness, many people who did not have the opportunity to come to the official office to study. This is incredible, but it makes you happy to serve the country. The princess heard that this is the case. Things went smoothly and we arranged for this gathering, if there are two parties who like each other at such a gathering, it can be regarded as solving lifelong affairs for these talents together, isn't it also a matter of getting the best of both worlds."
