Qingchuan History

Chapter 53 The Jade Bowl Brings Amber Light

Ruan Xueyin tilted her head and thought for a while:

"Actually, in terms of appearance alone, they are not comparable. But the world has seen too many beauties from princes and nobles. Occasionally, it is unavoidable to see someone coming out of the mountains and forests. What's more, she is full of knowledge and ability, and her demeanor is naturally different, so she looks even more beautiful. Some. I have been getting used to meeting her day and night for more than ten years. On the contrary, I am quite amazed to see these people when I come to Qi Palace this time."

Gu Xinglang laughed, "Is that how she sees you too?"

"Really." Ruan Xueyin smiled, "She and I hate each other."

It's a wonderful feeling.It's fun to talk about boring things, and it's fun to chat.Gu Xinglang recalled carefully, he had never had such a conversation partner in his life.

Chunfeng is very interesting, but she is naive; Wanling is general, but their chats are always in a calm and orderly manner.Xirun, Shangguan concubine, third brother, other brothers and sisters, queen mother, father, courtiers including teacher Ji Huan, he also thought of many people, and no one could talk to him like this.

His world was open to her at this moment.

In fact, she is too.It was much later that she realized that what she had said to him in half a year exceeded the sum of what she had said in 20 years.

"As for your question about my junior sister not hiding her appearance. She is different from me. She has always known what she wants. Apply what she has learned and become famous all over the world. These eight words were spoken by her when she was ten years old. For her In other words, beauty may be a double-edged sword, but first of all it is a weapon. As long as it is a weapon, it must be exposed and show its sharpness. This is the song of the court."

Gu Xinglang looked at her fixedly, "So she is the same kind of person as Murong Xun."

Ruan Xueyin said without hesitation, "It's very similar."

"So sure."

She thought for a while, "You asked me why she went to Cangwu before. Actually, it's not impossible to explain, but it's too troublesome to explain. Reason one has already been said just now, she wants to achieve fame. Da Qi is not suitable for her. Yin and Bai She didn't like the country. As for why it's not suitable and why she didn't like it, I've talked enough before, and I think Jun Shang knows it well."

Gu Xinglang thought for a while, and agreed with his eyes.

"The second reason is that she and Murong Xun will get twice the result with half the effort. It's not only based on the outside world's evaluation of Murong Xun, but also because I've seen the Yaoxing banner, and the star official pictures of the two of them are very compatible."

Gu Xinglang raised his eyebrows, "Sounds like a fortune-telling. It's very close, how close?"

Ruan Xueyin smiled, "Stargazing has a bit of metaphysical meaning." She paused for a moment, saying that the next step is to answer the question:
"Sweeping thousands of troops, watching the world with disdain."

Gu Xinglang's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes flickered a few times, "How accurate is Yao Xingyu in these matters?"

"It can't be measured. But the trend can't be wrong."

"So it is very likely that I will lose to Murong Xun?"

"That's not it."

"Sweeping thousands of armies, looking at the world with such words have come out, haven't they?"

"Your star map is also very strong."

"It seems that you have seen it all." Gu Xinglang took a sip of tea from the white jade cup and said leisurely, "Then you haven't read it, who can help me?"

"If she hadn't come down to the center of the mountain for me to look at, I wouldn't have matched the star map of the two of them. There are tens of millions of people in Qingchuan, how can I help you look at them one by one?"

"What about you?"

Ruan Xueyin was stunned for a moment before she understood what he meant, "There is a rule, or prohibition, on the Yaoxing Curtain: Stargazers cannot see their own star map."

Gu Xinglang was surprised: "So you've never seen your own?"

"No."

"How will it look?"

"Nobody knows. But the teacher hasn't seen mine either. I don't like to risk things like that. And I'm not that curious about my own life. It's good to remain unknown."

There is really no shadow of Ruan Bi (Note) on her body.Gu Xinglang thought to himself.Pengxi Mountain is a good place.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Jin asked to see her. She said that she had newly made steamed red koji cheese, so I came here to ask you to have a taste."

The sound of washing inkstone outside the door of the imperial study could be heard.

Gu Xinglang glanced at Ruan Xueyin, "How come she cooks exactly what you like. Do you want to eat?"

Ruan Xueyin said in her heart that he cooked for you, and asked me what to do?So just answer question one:

"It's not surprising that girls like these sweets."

Gu Xinglang acquiesced that she wanted to eat what she said, and raised his voice:

"Let her in."

Ruan Xueyin felt that she should be more sensible at this time, so she got up to leave.However, seeing Shangguan concubine approaching lightly in a lotus-colored light gauze skirt, compared to her usual crimson purple and purple, she looks much gentler and restrained. Against the moonlit night in late summer, the picture is very moving.

She was carrying a two-layer mahogany food box, and when she came in, she suddenly saw Ruan Xueyin, she was slightly surprised, her eyes flashed with disappointment, and she gave a blessing to Gu Xinglang, "Your Majesty, Wan'an."

Going to see Ruan Xueyin again, she showed her face and smiled: "It is said that my sister is often in the Wanlan Palace recently, and it is true. If my sister hadn't been courageous, I would not have dared to come tonight."

Ruan Xueyin didn't understand for a moment, but Gu Xinglang smiled:

"It's nonsense again. With your domineering temper, have you ever been afraid of anyone?"

Although these words seemed to be ridiculed, they seemed to be close to each other. The Shangguan concubine felt sweet in her heart and said angrily:

"Your Majesty is so biased. He said that he would come to see his concubine when he had time, and told him not to come to the Wanlan Palace if there was nothing to do. He also said that it was always a review at night, and he didn't like others to disturb him. How could Sister Pei sit here, every night?" Accompany Your Majesty."

Ruan Xueyin secretly thought that there are still such rules, but Gu Xinglang is really self-disciplined.

"Knowing that you're still here, that's why you're bold."

Shangguan's concubine curled her lips, feeling aggrieved, "Your Majesty has not been to the Temple of Cooking Rain for almost a month since he recovered from a serious illness. My concubine is so worried that she can't sleep at night. Even if she is punished today, she still needs to see you. "

Ruan Xueyin's hairs stood on end when she heard this, thinking that I was still there, so straightforward?Glancing quietly at Gu Xinglang, the other party was obviously a little embarrassed, coughed dryly and said:

"I was ill for a few days last month, and I was dragging on a lot of things. I really don't have time recently, so I didn't go to see you." He deliberately changed the subject,

"Didn't you say you made steamed cheese?"

Only then did Shangguan concubine remember, she turned around and walked towards the square ebony table next to Ruan Xueyin with the food box in hand.

"Hey, sister Pei, what powerful classics are you reading, so thick?"

Ruan Xueyin realized that the three books were on the table. Fortunately, she had just closed the book after talking to Gu Xinglang, and there was no book title on the cover.Suiji naturally picked them all up, pretending to make room for the Shangguan concubine to put the food box, then got up and walked towards the ebony bookshelf opposite, and answered casually:

"A few historical books, I have never read them before, so I asked Your Majesty to borrow them."

Seeing that she was walking freely in this space, Shangguan was obviously very familiar with the Imperial Study Room. She was a little bit sour for a while, but it was difficult to show it. She just took out the celadon bowl from the food box, put it in the same exquisite mahogany tray, and placed a handful of celadon Small spoon, carry it to the side of the desk:
"Your Majesty doesn't like sweets, my concubine specially puts a little sugar." She said, picked up a spoon to scoop up a small piece, and fed it to Gu Xinglang's mouth, "Your Majesty, taste it."
