The white moonlight of the paranoid tyrant was stolen

Chapter 47 Flower Festival

In addition to being dignified, she was actually born beautiful.

The almond eyes are round and big, and a lot of rouge has been deliberately brushed on both cheeks and around the eyes, making them look charming and pitiful.

It's just that because of too much tension, the body looks very stiff.

Gu Ruzhen pursed her lips and showed a slight smile. The woman in the sedan chair stared at this, but after a few moments, she returned a shallow smile.

Because of this smile, the whole person seemed to come alive from the painting.

"Her name is Zheng Wanru, and she is the daughter of Zheng Zi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites. She once... almost made a marriage contract with the emperor's brother."

Qin Lin looked at Gu Ruzhen sideways, carefully studying the expression on her face.

He wanted to see anger and anger, and it would be best if she couldn't control her emotional outburst on the spot, and then make a joke in front of everyone.

However, not only did Gu Ruzhen not go as he expected, she bent down to look at the Luozi on the hawker stall after looking away.

The nets sold by Tianqin seem to be very seldom complicated, but when they are strung with jade pendants or other accessories, although they are simple, they are also very elegant and beautiful.

"Miss Zheng hasn't married for so many years. People outside say that she is waiting for the emperor's brother, but it's a pity that the concubine has a lover and has no intentions."

"If Sister Gu doesn't mind, you can actually persuade Brother Huang. With such a big harem, there are not many more Miss Zheng."

……

No one responded to Qin Lin's dry mouth when he said on the side, so he could only stop in the end.

He looked over again, and Gu Ruzhen had already selected a few umbrellas, paid for them, and bought another oil-paper umbrella.

"King Qinghe, I will bid farewell today."

"Wait, wait!" Qin Lin was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly walked up to her, and asked in disbelief, "Sister Gu, didn't you hear what I just said?"

For a moment, Qin Lin even wondered if he had spoken just now.

Gu Ruzhen half-closed her eyelids, because the sun was a bit dazzling, she opened the oil-paper umbrella to cover it.

"King Qinghe, you talk too much."

After speaking, she walked forward with strides.

The forbidden steps hanging from the waist moved slightly with the steps, and the hem of the skirt swayed and slightly swelled up, like a lotus growing with every step.

Qin Lin wanted to keep up, but was stopped by two guards.

This was really an embarrassing scene, so Qin Lin didn't catch up in embarrassment, but straightened his clothes and walked in another direction.

Gu Ruzhen must be angry.

No matter what, as long as Gu Ruzhen can quarrel with Qin Li, today's encounter will be considered a success.

Ruotong watched Gu Ruzhen's face all the way, but after observing for a long time, she couldn't tell whether she was angry or not, so she could only go all the way to the mansion with a bitter face.

A wooden table has been set up in the yard, and a small stool is placed on all sides of the wooden table. On the wooden table, there are pastries warmed by charcoal, and steaming tea beside it.

Gu Ruzhen sat on the small stool and raised her head after drinking half a cup of tea.

"sit."

Wu Zhu looked around blankly, and looked at Ruotong in blank dismay.

"It's about the two of you, Ruotong, stay closer to me, Wu Zhu, take the pastry and eat it yourself."

Wu Zhu blinked, although she didn't know the situation in front of her, but when she heard that she was asked to eat pastry, she still obediently picked up the pastry.

Ruotong said anxiously, "Your Majesty? In fact, Your Majesty and Miss Zheng..."

"I didn't ask this." Gu Ruzhen put the handkerchief on the table, "I'm just a little curious why Miss Zheng is sitting in the sedan chair today, still dressed like that."

Ruotong breathed a sigh of relief immediately, "This is a custom in Tianqin, called the Hundred Flowers Festival. Every year at this time, a beautiful woman with both ability and political integrity will be selected to sit on a sedan chair and walk around Shengjing. lock up."

"Hundred Flowers Festival? But there are no flowers now."

"The Hundred Flowers Festival is held because there are no flowers. Ms. Zheng is the Hundred Flowers Girl selected this year. In fact, the existence of the Hundred Flowers Festival is for everyone to find a day to have fun."

"Is that so..."

After a long time, Gu Ruzhen picked up two pieces of red maple from the ground, lifted them up to the sun and illuminated them.

"Ruotong, does the red maple leaf look good when it's dried and made into a bookmark?"

Ruotong nodded, "It's pretty."

After waiting for a long time, I didn't wait until the other side continued to speak.

Ruotong quietly opened one eye, looked towards the opposite side, and saw that she was looking at Fengye very intently.

"Your Majesty?" Ruotong approached hesitantly, "You really don't want to know the relationship between Miss Zheng and Your Majesty?"

Gu Ruzhen put down the maple leaf, and pressed her scalp unconsciously with her hand. Today's hair is combed a little high, but after a long time, it will feel like it is falling straight down, and the scalp is pressed extremely tightly.

"The first emperor wanted to give him a marriage, but he didn't accept it, did he?"

Ruotong exclaimed, "Niang Niang, so you already knew?"

"That's not it."

"Then why...?"

"Guess."

Qin Li's biological mother was not of high status. Although she was a prince, she had been in the cold palace for so many years. Many people didn't even know of his existence before he came out of the cold palace. Therefore, it was impossible for him to settle down with the daughter of the Minister of Rites since childhood. engagement.

Since he was not a child, then he should have been out of the cold palace, or to be precise, it was the day when Qin Li returned from his meritorious service on the battlefield.

According to Qin Li's temperament, he would not be willing to accept a marriage gift that he had met face to face. He didn't like being controlled by others, and preferred to have everything in his own hands.

Therefore, this marriage gift will definitely be rejected by him.

As for what Qin Lin said about Zheng Wanru not being married for many years, perhaps Qin Li was partly responsible for it, but it should not be because of his admiration for Qin Li, but because of his tiredness.

"Ruotong, does King Qinghe talk like this a lot?"

Ruotong hesitated for a while, "I heard that King Qinghe coaxed the Queen Mother to laugh so hard that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. Nearly half of the year is spent there."

"Did no one impeach him?"

"Yes, but King Qinghe has been fined many times. He promised well on the surface, but in fact he never repented. Gradually, the courtiers stopped caring about him."

King Qinghe was making trouble for himself, and His Majesty in Tianqin was standing up to a prince who was not good enough for him, the courtiers thought so.

"What do you think of him?" Gu Ruzhen asked Ruotong.

Ruotong's eyes couldn't help revealing contempt, "In a few years, King Qinghe will also be in his weakest years, but he hasn't achieved anything in these years."

It seems that not only Ruotong, but many people think so.

Nothing can be achieved.

People who really accomplish nothing don't say so many things they shouldn't say.

Gu Ruzhen clasped her hands together to support her chin, and looked up at the sunlight in the sky.

The sunlight was a little harsh, so she had to squint slightly to look at it.

The mayfly shaking the tree is ridiculous.

Among them, the mayflies don't know how small they are, nor how powerful the big tree is.
