179, if you want to be pretty and filial
Finally, Gu Qianxue went back to the kitchen and made some layer cakes.
The kitchen was originally ready-made, and it was made by the cook, but the eldest princess just took a casual taste and threw it away. She only said it was unpalatable and insisted on eating it made by Gu Qianxue.
Gu Qianxue was speechless, she thought she had no talent in cooking, why did the eldest princess fall in love with her cooking
When Gu Qianxue was making the second batch of cakes, the eldest princess ate up the first batch of cakes, and Concubine Qin didn't eat a single bite except for the first one.
As soon as the second batch of cakes was finished, the eldest princess said, "Bring it!"
Gu Qianxue replied subconsciously, "It's a bit hot, you can wait a little longer, the taste will be better when it's cold."
"I told you to bring it, when to eat it and how to eat it, I will use you to tell me what to do?" The eldest princess roared angrily.
Gu Qianxue hurriedly sent the cake up obediently, and then watched helplessly as the eldest princess ate the cake while blowing.
Concubine Qin also likes sweets, but at this time her mind is no longer on cakes, "Qianxue, is the banquet in the palace tonight?"
"Go back to your mother, it's tonight." Gu Qianxue replied obediently.
Concubine Qin nodded thoughtfully, "I don't know why this banquet is held?"
Gu Qianxue said, "I don't know, I just heard that it is a small banquet that is not considered formal, and there is no limit on the number of people." Thinking that there is no limit on the number of people, Gu Qianxue almost didn't laugh when she thought of the mighty crowd of the Gu family. Hastily changed the subject, "Your Majesty, how about I choose a suit of clothes for you?"
The eldest princess who was busy eating the cake raised her head and gave Gu Qianxue a look, "You need to choose clothes, besides, do you think everyone has shallow eyes like yours, and entering the palace once is like celebrating the New Year?"
Gu Qianxue was speechless, bowed her head and remained silent.
After several months of getting along, Concubine Qin knew that Gu Qianxue was the kind of person who didn't aim at anything. Since Gu Qianxue wanted to help choose clothes, she must have a blockbuster idea.
"Okay, then Qianxue has worked hard." Concubine Qin smiled.
Gu Qianxue hurriedly said, "It's not hard, it's not hard, it's hard work for Concubine Qin to accompany Qian Xue into the palace for the banquet."
So, accompanied by Gu Qianxue, the group headed towards Concubine Qin's bedroom.
After entering the room, Gu Qianxue followed the maid to a separate room. The huge room is equivalent to a modern cloakroom, and it is full of Concubine Qin's clothes, which can really be described as a sea of clothing.
It is hung on the top and stacked on the bottom. There are all kinds of jewelry in the box beside it, locked with a delicate copper lock.
While Gu Qianxue was choosing clothes in the cloakroom, in another room, Concubine Qin couldn't help asking the Eldest Princess curiously.
"Bifu, you really don't like Qianxue?"
The princess often yelled at Gu Qianxue, even Concubine Qin couldn't stand it anymore, she only regretted hurting Gu Qianxue because of her impromptu whim.
The eldest princess who just finished eating the cake was satisfied, but she smiled, "At first I thought she had some other purpose, and I really didn't like it, but today I really like it." While talking, she thought to herself, she must ask Gu Qianxue to make more dessert.
"Since you like her, why are you so harsh on her?" Concubine Qin was puzzled.
The eldest princess thought about it carefully, and smiled, "I don't know, but every time I face Gu Qianxue, I can't help but stare at her and scold her. If I have to say one reason, it should be... I want to conquer her. "
"Huh?" Concubine Qin was confused, "Conquer?"
The eldest princess smiled, "Yeah, Wan Qing, you don't know my character yet? If I really don't like a person, I'm afraid I won't even pay attention to him. The more I like him, the more I want to conquer him. Only conquered is my character." of."
Concubine Qin burst out laughing, shaking her head, "People say that Fen'er's personality is like yours, but you two, I can't figure it out."
Thinking of her favorite nephew, the Eldest Princess snorted proudly, "Fian'er has more palaces than my aunt." Suddenly, she turned her head, "Wan Qing, you mean that Fian'er is also conquering Gu Qianxue? "
"he… "
Concubine Qin was about to say something, but she saw Gu Qianxue commanding a group of servant girls to come in through the gate with a suit of clothes.
One of the maids was holding a dress made of snow satin.
The snow-white dress didn't have much decoration except for a few dark lines, and the cut was not too large. The lines were simple but graceful, just like a noble and holy antique porcelain.
Seeing the white dress, the eldest princess couldn't help frowning, "Gu Qianxue, it's not that I'm making things difficult for you this time, you want Wan Qing to enter the palace wearing this white dress?"
Gu Qianxue nodded and said, "Your Highness, is there a rule in the palace that white dresses cannot be worn at dinner parties?"
"You are young and don't understand, no matter any banquet or party, it is a place to compete for splendor. Others wish it were as luxurious as possible. You let Wan Qing wear a white dress?" The eldest princess raised her eyebrows.
Maybe modern people don't understand the value of white dresses, because the modern textile printing and dyeing industry is developed, as long as the color spectrum can be made, there is a way to dye any color, but it was not the case in ancient times.
Leaving aside the durability of printing and dyeing, just talking about the color, which is hard to come by.
Many people think that golden yellow is the most difficult color to print and dye. In fact, pure white is the most difficult color.
Because no matter if it is silk, cotton or hemp, it cannot be as white as snow, and the whitest can only be called milky white. It is easy to dye from light to deep, but difficult to change from dark to light, especially snow white, which needs to be faded.
Therefore, this snow satin is very precious.
Gu Qianxue said, "As Her Royal Highness said, the more you compete for beauty, the more you must be unique and unique. Qian Xuexue, please ask Your Highness, so many women attending the banquet can be said to have worn all the fashionable and brightly colored clothes, and what are they? What color are they not expecting, that no one is wearing?"
One question stumped Princess Yong'an.
The eldest princess shook her head, "I can't think of that."
Gu Qianxue said with a smile, "I'm afraid, there are people who wear all the colors, right? Since they have chosen all the colors, why don't we do the opposite and choose a color that no one wears—white?"
The eldest princess was in a hurry, "How can you wear white to a banquet? You child, your mother is mentally retarded. Doesn't anyone in your house teach you how to dress?"
Concubine Qin was startled, and hurriedly grabbed the eldest princess's hand, shaking her head anxiously.
Of course Gu Qianxue was not angry, let alone that she was not the real deity, and she didn't have much recognition for Gu Fu. Just to say, Mrs. Zhao is indeed mentally insufficient. Another person may think it is a family scandal, but in the eyes of a doctor like Gu Qianxue, mental insufficiency is just a disease.
"His Royal Highness, have you ever heard a saying - to be pretty, be filial? The admirable fairies in myths and legends are all dressed in white. How can there be any reason to dress in colorful clothes like flowers and butterflies?" Explain patiently.
"this… "
Before the eldest princess could say anything, Concubine Qin said, "Just listen to Qianxue." Obviously, Concubine Qin was moved.
