348, Su Lingxiao's carriage
Gu Qianxue smiled and said nothing.
Aunt Pei and Gu Qianrou stepped forward, "Miss, I was going to send the dance clothes to Tingxueyuan, but you left in a hurry in the morning, so I had to bring them here." Said, put the silk clothes on her hand The burden of making was handed over.
"Thank you, Aunt Pei, and my second sister." Gu Qianxue took the burden and handed it to Yulian behind her.
Aunt Pei was a little surprised, "Miss, won't you open it and have a look?"
Gu Qianxue said, "You don't need to open it to read, I believe that Aunt Pei and Second Sister are people, and you must be reliable in doing things."
Gu Qianrou kept her head down and stretched out her hand to Aunt Pei. Although there was a gentle smile on her face, there was a viciousness hidden in her eyes - Gu Qianxue, you will look good to me soon, heh!
Suddenly, there was a lot of exclamation from the crowd.
The exclamation was like ripples in the water, spreading out at an extremely fast speed, and then everyone was shocked, and they all looked at the opposite side of the palace gate.
I saw a pure white carriage slowly heading towards the gate of the palace.
The whole body of the carriage is white, and the body is much longer than that of ordinary carriages. The eight horses pulling the carriage are also pure white horses without a trace of stray hair. This is nothing, the four corners of the carriage are hung with copper bells, even though the sound of the carriage is so loud, even if the crowd is bustling, you can still hear the crispness of the copper bell, although the sound of the copper bell is not harsh.
Gu Qianxue was confused, "Whose carriage is that, so ostentatious?"
During the speech, the surprised people gave way, and then the carriage entered the palace gate as if there was no one else, how swaggeringly.
Gu Qianrou looked at Gu Qianxue with a hellish look, "You don't even know Ling Xiaozi's carriage?" That tone was so sarcastic and condescending.
Mrs. Zheng gave Gu Qianrou a hard look, and Aunt Pei also looked at Gu Qianrou with resentment, only hating her daughter for not being able to hold her breath.
Gu Qianrou blushed, "Old lady, auntie, I... I don't mean anything else, but my sister used to go to Haolan Academy, I thought she could know Ling Xiaozi's carriage."
Gu Qianxue ignored her, but thought to herself—Young Master Su is really too coquettish, not only is he dressed in white on weekdays, but he even wears a carriage... Wait, this is not the point, the point is, Young Master Su is not an official, so why not? Come to the emperor's birthday banquet? And it seems that its treatment is even worse than that of the previous prince.
After the pure white carriage whizzed by, the pure black thousand-gold carriage drove up, just like before, without stopping, it directly entered the palace.
One white and one black, the dust-free white and the flawless black are not only sharp contrasts, but also complement each other.
Gu Qianxue guessed that the one sitting in the daughter's carriage should not be Prince Li but Concubine Qin, because behind the daughter's carriage was the carriage from the Princess' Mansion. Concubine Qin and Princess Yong'an have always been inseparable.
The crowd has not stopped yet, followed by another team of luxury convoys, foreign princes and nobles who came here specially to participate in the 50th birthday of the emperor of Nanyue Kingdom.
After all the horses stopped, after a while, there was a loud bell from the palace, and then there were eunuchs shouting something at the gate of the palace.
Because the Gu family came later, they were standing far away from the palace gate, so they couldn't hear clearly, but they could guess that it was the eunuch who ordered all the officials and women to enter the palace gate.
Immediately afterwards, the crowded crowd began to move, wanting to leave the palace one after another.
The distance from the palace gate to the Qianxi Palace is very long, even ordinary people have to spend a stick of incense time to walk. Pity those old ladies who have a mandate, and they move forward step by step with the support of their family members.
Zheng's body is considered healthy, but the clothes on his body are very heavy, and it is very difficult for him to walk, and he complains unbearably. Gu Qianxue supported her by the side, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice, "This palace banquet is really unscientific, so many old people have to suffer when they enter the palace? It's better to let the old people rest at home and let the young people come and have fun."
Mrs. Zheng shook her head in disapproval, "Silly girl, let alone walking for hours, even if walking for a day, everyone is willing to leave. This represents a kind of honor."
"..." Gu Qianxue nodded obediently and did not refute, but she thought in her heart that she wanted to save face and suffer.
Fortunately, people came very early, and there was still a long time before the official birthday celebration. Before the celebration started, everyone made sure to be there.
Today's Qianxi Temple is more luxurious than the last time I saw it. I think it is for the fiftieth birthday. The Ministry of Internal Affairs organized a large number of craftsmen to repair and decorate it. As long as the sight can be seen, there are gold-plated red, which is festive It is also extravagant, because of the golden color, it shows the dignity of the royal family.
In the center of the main hall sits the monarch, the emperor and the queen of Nanyue Kingdom. On the side of the queen, sits the high-ranking concubines, and on the side of the emperor, sits the prince, etc., and behind them, The ones sitting are concubines, big or small, in the harem.
Along the two sides of the most prestigious seat in the center, the seats are arranged according to their status. They are still foreign nobles and envoys, and then there are first-rank officials, second-rank officials, and so on.
It is still divided into men and women, with female relatives on the queen's side, officials and their sons on the emperor's side, and so on.
At the beginning of the celebration, the courteous officials sang, and then announced that the foreign envoys and nobles who came to celebrate, even brought up a bunch of expensive gifts, which aroused everyone's viewing and discussion.
Those gifts are nothing more than pearls, emeralds, corals, calligraphy and paintings and so on. People who love belongings and collectibles naturally think that today is like celebrating the new year, but for people like Gu Qianxue who are not interested in antique treasures, and have no chance to go out to spend money, so they are forced to be money like dung , this link is extremely boring.
Besides, Gu Qianxue has more important things to confirm.
Thinking about it, he raised his head and looked at the high ceiling of the hall.
I saw that there are exquisite strokes and carvings on the ceiling in the center of the hall, which are as vivid as three-dimensional under the reflection of the light, and the most unique thing is a huge ceramic ball in the center!
This ball was given to the prince by Gu Qianxue, and the prince placed it on the ceiling without anyone noticing, and this ball was the key to her weightless ribbon dance.
The ceiling is very high, and it must reach four meters by visual estimation. Gu Qianxue doesn't know how the prince pushed the ball up, but she admires it deeply. As he thought about it, his eyes passed through the huge and wide central field, looking towards the side of the emperor.
On one side of the emperor sat the queen, and on the other side was none other than the Crown Prince Ling Yao.
The distance between the two was so far away that Gu Qianxue thought that her sneaky glance would not be detected by the other party, but when she looked at the prince, she saw that the prince was extremely keen to find out, then turned her head and looked at him, her peach eyes narrowed, She threw a small wink at Gu Qianxue.
